The Castle Takes Shape
Walls of GimghOul Home Completed,
and Towers Soon Will Be

The stone walls of Hippol
Castle, the new home Of the
Gimghouls on the brow of the
hill at Piney Prospect, have ta-
ken their final shape, and the OBJ
servation tower and the stair
tower will be completed within
the next two or three weeks.
Already the fireproof covering
has been put on the roof.
The society will hold an en-
tertainment in the house at
commencement, and many of it's
alumni members are expected to
be on hand then. 1t may be that
the designer, Courtlandt Curtis,
will come from New Orleans to
inspect his handiwork.
In the last few days visitors
from Durham, Raleigh, and
other cities have motored here
to see the building. The view
out over the valley and to the
hills beyond is exceptionally fine
and from a mile out on the Ra-
leigh road, as well as close. by,
the stone structure makes an i'm
posing sight.
The massive oak door of the
old lodge, on Rosemary street,
will be installed as the front door
of the castle, and the old ceiling
beams will be used to span the
ballroom.

A Course in Bridge
MIR. Carter Suggests that Game
SHOULD be Taught in School

One of our brilliant towns
women "a very modest but ex-
tremely efficient bridge player)
remarked recently: "Our public
school should have a department
of social education, the first
requisite being that all the pu-
pills should be taught to play a
good game of bridge"
Now, it is some years since
we thought that cards were "the
Devils picture books" and we
have outgroWn the notion that
card games must be played for
money.
Bridge is increasingly the
common ground of social inter-
course-especially for people
who feel that their dancing days
are about over. 1t is the game
supreme for an evening party,
and unfortunate is the man or
woman who cannot play a fair
hand.
To a man who said: II never
play cards." Talleyrand replied:
Il fear you are in for lonely
old age"
Children are much better
taught now than formerly, in
that they are taught many
more ways of enjoying them
selves with the lavish abundance
of interesting things. Why not
add the ability to play a good
game of bridge at an age when
the mind is plastic? And make
them at once a delight to the
hostess who racks her brain for
something to do at her party ?
And give them an added zest for
an absorbing recreation?
Moral: Establish in the public
schools a department of social
education, and teach every one
to play good game of bridge.

Chapel Hill Chaf

The Carolina Playmakers, !
believe, are following a wise pol
icy in producing several plays
of other than native authorship
this year. The development of
home talent in play-writing has
been their distinctive achieve
ment, and of course they should
not and will not forsake it. But
it is next to impossible to ad-
here, with success, to a rigid
program of presenting plays by
students quarter after quarter
and year after year. 1t is too
much to expect that drama of
worth will be turned 'out reg
ularly and in such volume.
There is bound to be an ebb and
flow of creative ability. 1t will
be far less abundant at some
times than at others. To be
watchful for talent, to encour-
age and cultivate and exploit it
when it appears, and to put on
established plays of merit when
creditable homegrown products
are not forthcoming-this would
seem to be the best course for
the Playmakers to pursue.
The experience of the last few
years, proves that they have a
rich field capable of much more
good harvesting; but nobody is
going to suffer if they don't try
to plow it too hard.
The Elizabeth City Independ-
ent chides the Playmakers for
taking on tour through the
state play not made at home
To my way of thinking this is

MUSIC
JOURNAL TO BE
PUBLISHED HERE
Paul ]. Weaver, Vice-President
of Conference, Will Be
the Editor
FORMAL WILL BE CHANGED

John Paul Weaver was elect
ed vice-president of the National
Music Supervisors Conference
at the meeting in Detroit last
week, and with the honor comes
the task of editing the associa-
tion's official organ, the Music
Supervisors Journal. So, begin
ming in July, this periodical,
which has more than II, 900 SUBJ
scribers all over the United
States and Canada, will be is
sued from Chapel Hill.
Hitherto the magazine has
been printed in a six-by-nine-
inch shape, but Mr.. Weaver is
to increase the page area. This
will make possible better illus
trations and a better appearance
in general.
The woman who has for sew
eral years served as private
secretary to the editor at the
present headquarters will move
here, and with her she will
bring the files and entire office
equipment.
Besides being the official Or
gan for the national organiza-
ton, the magazine bears the
same relation to the four region
al conference.-the North Cen
tral, the Southwestern, the
Eastern, and the Southern. This
last was organized by Mr.. Weav-
er two or three years ago.
AS a companion job to publish
ing the journal, he will also edit
and publish the annual book of
proceedings of the national con-
ference.
For three days prior to the
music supervisors meeting in
Detroit, Mr.. Weaver attended
the sessions of the National Re-
search Council in Music Educa-
ton. This body, composed of
Is men representing the various
sections of the country, received
reports from committees that
had been studying five specific
problems. The solution of the
only problem thus far completed
is contained in a report entitled
"A Course of Study in Music in
Rural Schools"

100 PUPILS QUIT
SCHOOL BECAUSE
FIJNDSRUN SHORT
County Did Not Vote Money For
Children Outside Local
Tax District
1sO ARE PAYING TUITION

About 1OOeof the Chapel Hill
school children who live outside
the local district have dropped
out of school because of the lack
of funds to provide for their edu-
cation beyond the statutory six
months term and because their
parents are not willing to pay
tuition for them.
Within the Chapel Hill school
district there is levied a special
tax sufficient to- provide the
children of the district with nine
months of schooling, For sew
eral years now with the help of
an appropriation from the coun-
ty, the school has been able to
serve families which, dwelling
outside the district, have paid
no special tax. But this year
the county voted no money in
addition to what it was required
to vote by the six-months-term
law.
So, after the first of March,
the parents outside the district
were notified that if they sent
their children to the Chapel Hill
school the tuition fee would be
SIS a month for each child. Ap-
proximately $50 children are
now attending on this basis.
The attendance from within
the district is now around 300,
and the $50 who pay the tuition
for the three extra months bring
the total to 450. The attend
ance before March l was $50.
The proposal has been made
that the limits of the school dis
trict be extended. AS it is now
the Odums, the Proutys and a
number of other. families who
have built homes out to the
southwest of the village are not
in the district and so are paying
tuition for the period from
March l to June /. The enlarg-
ing of the district may require
an election.
Since the present district was
established people living out in
the country, some of them from
10 to Is miles away, have been
getting the benefit, without pay
ing for it, of the nine-months
term for which the people
in Chapel Hill pay the special
tax.
School officials who have CIV
en- careful study to the problem
think that Chapel Hill township
should be created a school dis
trict, absorbing Chapel Hill and
Carrboro and all the other
schools in the township, with a
uniform township school tax.
This would equalize' the benefits
and the tax burden.
