Chapel Hill Chaf

At the breakfast table, the
morning after the big fight in
Philadelphia, started in to read
the report of it aloud. I had
finished the passages about how
"Tunney's left hook rocked
Dempsey's head" and about the
rain and the champions blood
mingling on Genes glove, when
the two women who composed
my audience raised cries of an
guish. They said this was no
sort of literature to accompany
a meal. History writer's tell us
that the patrician ladies of an
cient Rome turned their thumbs
down in glee to indicate that the
conquered gladiator was to be
finished off. I reminded my
listeners of this, and urged them
to show the same warlike spirit,
but to no avail. They made me be
silent, and l had to read the rest
of the story to myself.
F. O. Bowman and Clyde
Eubanks went to Philadelphia
last week to attend a meeting of
retail druggists. Mr.. Bowman
went to the prize-fght, but Mr..
Eubanks did not. For anyone to
have gone hundreds of miles to
Philadelphia, to have been there
on that day, and not to have seen
the fight-to me such a neglected
opportunity seems positively
tragic.
Two or three weeks ago l
called Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Fish
er's dog "a black spaniel" A. H.
Patterson told me it outraged the
family that should have given
such a name to Sandy McTavish,
the beloved Scotch terrier. Just
afterward | was reading in the
Atlantic Monthly an article by a
celebrated Englishman, Sir. w.
Beach Thomas, in which he said
that anatomists had decided that
of all dogs, spaniels had the most

Hill Gives Greenhouse
At Lower End of Nursery, 1t Is Now
Ready for Use

The University has received,
as a gift from Watts Hill of Dur
ham, a greenhouse. The glass
walled and glass-roofed struc-
ture has been erected at the low
er (southern) end of the botany
departments nursery back OF
the Peabody building and is now
ready for use.
It will serve two. purposes.
First, for the propagation of
plants to be set out in the Arbo-
return and other parts Of the
campus; second, as a winter
time laboratory for the botany
department. Here, in the cold
season, the students may OBJ
serve the growth of delicate spe-
cies which, hitherto, could be
cultivated here only in the
spring and summer.
The greenhouse, which is 80
feet long and Is feet wide, is
equipped with a complete heat
ing system. Valves regulate the
heat automatically. Mr.. Coker
or one of his assistants can set
the mechanism at a certain tenn
perature, as easily as one would
set an alarm clock, and the tenn
perature remains constant.
These valves are recent inven-
ton.
Along the two sides of the
house run cedar benches con-
tanning troughs filled with earth,
and through the center,
from end to end, is a
concrete table providing space
for still more earth. Win
dows in the roof can be
opened by windlasses so geared
that they are operated as read.

THE PHI TO HAVE
AFINE NEW HALL
In Same Old Place on the Top
Floor of the New East
Building.
SEATING CAPACITY OF 200

The Phi Society will have a
handsome hall when the recon-
Btruction Of the New East build
ing is complete.
The auditorium, with a. seat
ing capacity of about 200, will
occupy most of the top (fourth)
floor. "A semizcircular niche at
the east end, with an arched
opening, provides a place for the
rostrum. The walls of this
niche are plaster embellished by
wood-striped panels. The presid-
ing officers seat is elevated four
steps above the audience, and the
speakers platform two steps.
Committee rooms are back of
the rostrum, and above it, on a
mezzanine, is a room for the
archives and for the storage of
other valuable property.
Ample wall space is available
for the society's collection of old
portraits; and, in order that they
may be clearly seen, particular
care has been given to the ar
rangements. The light will pour
in through the monitor" which
will be retained as the crest of
the New East.
The domed ceiling has a pitch
of II 1-2 feet. Where it meets
the walls a plaster cornice runs
around the entire hall.
From the corridor along the
south wall three doors lead into
the auditorium, and one door in
to the committee room section.
The corridor is a general pas
sageway and connects the geo.
logy laboratories which are at
the ends of the fourth floor.

sion of it's quarters in the New
East about three quarters of a
century ago, a few years before
the Civil War, and held them
continuously Except for the re-

The University Budget
Library Main Feature of the Pro-
posed New Building Program 7

The executive committee of
the trustees of the University,
in Raleigh last Friday, approved
a tentative budget, for both
maintenance and new construc-
tion, to cover the tWo-year
period 1927-1929. The legisla-
ture that convenes in January
will have to pass upon the re-
quests.
For maintenance during the
biennial, $2,257, 900 is asked, and
for construction $2,383, 900.
The maintenance budget for
the first year of the two C27-
'28) is 81, 900, and for the
second '28-' -'29) $1,146,0O0. The
allowance for this present fiscal
year lending next June 30) was
$800,000.
In the proposed building pro
gram, the largest single unit is
a library, the cost of which is
placed at 1851, 900.
To the legislature of 1921 the
trustees presented six-year
building program calling for
$3.50, But the building ap-
preparations in 1921, 1928, and
1925, fell short of that amount
by 81, $4,000. Compared with
other institutions in the state.
the University did not receive
it's share. The six years will ex-
pire next June. The amount now
asked, added to the $5,580,OOO
granted since 1921 makes a total
of $6,323,000 for a building pro-
gram extending over an eight
year period.

American teaching has been marvel

Il century of scientific discovery

which we have gained enormously IN

II has necessitated a high degree OF

Their education. 1t has prolonged
the period and widened the chance
for the schooling of children. And
from it all your responsibilities have
become infinitely greater and more
complex, for you must fit each on
coming generation for this changing
scene.

economic aspects and setting OF our
educational system. But | feel even
more strongly the need OF compenSat-

requires the higher concept to elevate
our standard Of life.
And in all these great tests of

are equal before the law; it is also an
ideal of equal opportunity. Not only
must we give each generation this
spirit of democracy. but we must give
10 them Il fundamental contribution
10 an equality of opportunity through
educational equipment.
Some one called America the
melting pot for all races; there have
been some disappointments in melt
ing adults, but none will deny that
our public schools are the real melt
ing pot, pouring out a new race. I'm
der our schools race, class and reli-
gious hatreds fade away. From this
real melting pot is the hope of that
fine metal which will carry the adj
vance of our national achievement
and our national ideals.
Nor is ii enough TO have trained
minds, or even to have implanted
national ideals. Education must
stimulate ambition and must train
character. There have been educa-
tional systems which trained the in
tellect while they neglected charac-
ter. There have been systems which
trained the mind and debauched the
character. And there have been edu-
cational systems which trained the
body and mind and character to Ell
feCtuate routine jobs while they
failed to give either hope, inspiration
or ambition. There are countries
whose school systems so depress am
bition that the great mass accepts its
absence not despairingly, but gladly,
wherefore any attempt to rise above
their groove is ridicuied even by their
mater. Your results have surely been
different. If there is any man in
America so dead to ambition as not
to strive for better lot, no member
of Congress or officer of the Federal
Government has ever met him. 1t
seems to us at times as if every citi-
zen of the republic had descended
upon Washington, ambitious to get
something better than he now has.
Teachers Part Is Large.
In the formation of character YOU
have played a great and an increasing
part. Your transformation from the
spare the rod spoil-the- child theory of
character building to that of instilling
of craftsmanship, leadership and per-
sonal responsibility is making for
character faster and better than ever
before. / would not go so far as to
say, nor, / am sure. would you claim,
that you are altogether responsible for
The distinctive virtues of the American
character. You would yourselves re-
fer to other Influences notably religion
and the home, which share with YOU
the responsibility for molding the char
acters of our young people. But Ger
ta1nly your part. as teachers, is very
large in the result. There may be fall
ures in character, and while the edu-
Gated crook may achieve success as a
crook, he does not secure honor or ap-
plause. And l am less interested, as
you are really, in what you put into
young folks heads than In what YOU
put into their spirits. The best teach
ing is not done out of a book, but out
Of a life; and l am sure that measured
by this standard it will be agreed that
