the convention opens, to assist
with the arrangements.
Officially Mr.. Smell is on leave

been generally understood that
he might make Wisconsin his
permanent post. His decision

Thirty-fve universities will be
represented at the gathering.
Various problems connected with
extension work will be discussed.
There will be a dinner or lunch

sion at the same time. Around
25 persons are expected to
gather for the meeting of that

Forest Week Soon
Colonel Pratt Is Chairman Of the Com
mittee for North Carolina

The seven days from Sunday,
April "a, to Saturday, April 80,
will be observed throughout the
country as American Forest
Week. Civic clubs, women's
clubs, the Boy Scouts, and other
organizations will be asked to ar
range for talks on forestry at
their meetings, and an effort will
be made to turn the thoughts of
the population to the cultivation
and preservation of forests.
Colonel Joseph Hyde Pratt
has been appointed chairman for
North Carolina. For several
weeks he has been engaged in
stimulating interest in the move
ment.
r. w. Graeber, extension for
ester for the North Carolina
state government, has issued a
bulletin in which he says:
upon the forests Of our coun-
try depend the future welfare of
our state and nation, not only
for the great material wealth
that the forest produces in the
shape Of raw material, and for
the industries that are operated
using forest products in their
process Of manufacture but the
health and happiness of our peo-
pie and the climate of our coun-
try depend upon the maintenance
of our forested areas"

Henderson to Give Reading

The Playmakers' reading for
April--at half past eight o'clock
day after tomorrow Sunday
evening-will be given by Archi-
bald Henderson. Before Mr..
Henderson left this week, to adj
dress the Southern States Art
League in Charleston, he neg
lected to tell Mr.. Koch what he
had selected for the Sunday

~ L. r. Sides, superintendent of
the Chapel Hill school, will be
away next year on leave of alb
sence He is going te New Xel.k TX
to study in Columbia University.
1t may be that his leave will be
extended to two years, since he
is anxious to stay in Columbia
long enough to complete the
work for his doctors degree.
E. R. Mosher, director of
training, will serve as superin-
tendent while Mr.. Sides is away.
H. F, Munich will be the princi-
pal in charge of the high school.
A supervisor of the lower grades
(including the junior high
SCHOOL, is to be chosen at the
next meeting of the school
Board, probably within week
or ten days.
Several important changes in
the school organization are to go
into effect next fall. For one
thing, the agriculture depart
ment is to be abolished. The
boys who take instruction in this
branch are almost all from the
country, only two living in the
Chapel Hill school district; yet
the school gets no financial aid
for this work from the county.
The amount expended on the ag-
riculture department this year,
out of district funds, is $1,000,
and the members Of the board do
not feel that they should con-
tinue to carry this outlay in the
districts budget. In other
words, they do feel that Chapel
Hill taxpayers should stand the
cost of something from which

Supt. Sides Absent Next Year;
Several Changes in the School

Chapel Hill taxpayers derive al
most no benefit.
The home economics depart
.2aea,at nay be abolished fes the
same reason. 1t is hanging in
the balance. Home economics is
even more of a country children's
course than is agriculture; for,
while, the agriculture roll does
contain two town children, none
is registered for home economics.
The plans for the music and
physical education departments
have not yet been worked out.
Several of the teachers now
with the school will not be with
it next year. Mrs. Fields is
leaving, since her husbands
work will take him to Philadel-
phia and Mrs. Glenn is going to
New York with her husband.
Mrs, Gwynn. is to retire from
teaching. Mrs. Spruill has not
yet decided whether she will
continue to teach, although she
has been asked to stay on. Those
who are regarded as fairly GER
tain to stay are Miss Graves,
Miss Whitley, Mrs. Olsen, Miss
Andrews, Miss Bowen, Miss
Shell, Miss Peasants, Miss
Glass, and Miss Graham.
Under the scheme of coopera-
ton between the University and
the school these men will teach:
J. Minor Gwynn (Latin), H. F.
Munich (mathematics), c. C.
Certain (English), Arnold K.
King (history). The French
teacheTto succeed William Doub
Kerr, who resigned January /,
has not yet been appointed.

MAY TAKE POLES
AND WIRES FROM
VILLAGE STREETS
No Definite Plan, But This
Improvement Is Being
Talked about,
LAMP POSTS IN PROSPECT

One Improvement project that
is talked of for Chapel Hill is
the establishment of a street
lighting system with under
ground wiring. This would be
similar to the one on the cam
pus, with lamps mounted on
poles. ~.--
Probably only the principal
blocks in the middle of the vii
lage would be embraced in such
a plan. Town Manager KNOX sin
preparation for the time when
the subject may reach the point
of serious discussion, has made
a tentative survey and estimates
of cost.
To place lights along the main
street from the Presidents
House to Church street "a lit
tie way beyond the school) and
along the single block of Colum-
bia street between the main
street and the Carolina Inn,
would COST. it is thought, about
$1,000. This is based on the
erection of So lighting stand
ards at intervals of 100 feet. The
estimate covers the poles and
lamps, the underground cables,
and the labor required for in
stallation. ~
If this improvement is UNDER
taken an effort will be made to
remove the present wire poles
from the streets in question and
run telephone and housekeeping
wires through the interiors of
blocks, back of the buildings.

Chapel Hill Chaf

Until a day or two ago when !
learned of it from a friend, /
knew nothing of a certain flour
ishing industry in Chapel Hill.
When my friend went into
Schuyler Longs carpenter shop.
on Rosemary lane he saw a pile
lof paddles on the floor, and he
asked what they were for. "Oh,
for the students" replied Mr..
Long, as though it were quite a
matter of course. Il filled an or
der for II from one fraternity
the other day." The paddles are
used for administering the pun
ishment that seems to be an in
| dispensable part of the initia-
tion into the secret organiZa-
tions on the. campus. Mr.. Long
is the leading manufacturer of
them, He says that great guam
titles of them are called for be-
cause they are often broken in
the using. The padding cere-
mony is by no means always per-
formed in secluded places; the
main street of the village is Of
ten a witness to the dainty
ritual.
Now and then | am invited to
fill my pipe from E. c. Bran
sons tobacco pouch. And al
ways with an agreeable result,
for he carries a mixture of fine
flavor. 1t is of his own devils
ing. One of his recreations is
to sit down at a table, lay out
several cans and bags of tobacco
before him in a semi-circle, and
combine the brands in d central
receptacle. He experimental
long and patiently before he got
just what he wanted, but it was
worth the trouble. If he cared
to forsake the scholarly for the
commercial life, | shouldn't be
surprised if he could make a for
tune by putting on the market
product called Branson's Mix
ture. ~

When David Coker of South
Carolina was here this week !
sat in Mrs. Kluttz' drawing
room and listened with much in
terest to talk of birds, squirrels,
and other fauna. r. f. Coker
told of a titmouse which hover
ed about one of the windows in
his home. Mr.. Coker wondered
why, and finally decided it was
because the bird. was fascinated
by the reflection of itself in a
glass. So he put mirror on
shelf outside the window. This
seemed to throw the titmouse in
to ecstacy. 1t would run around
behind the mirror to investigate,
and sometimes peck at it. w.
C.. COker told of a squirrel which
crept up on English sparrows,
pounced upon them, and then
devoured them. George Taylor
was not to be outdone by the sci
entists. He related that a friend
of his, a man of unquestioned
reputation, had borne witness
to seeing a tiny fish Ia top
water" | think he called it, flop
out upon the bank of a stream
to escape a large trout which
approached in search of prey,
and then flop back into the water
when the trout had passed.

I'm the beginning of this fight, ti !.
printed charges of official miscon-

startling as to be almost unbeliev-
able. But lately, these allegations
have found concrete expression in
the form of indictments returned by
a Grand Jury of the State and By
affidavits filed by officials of Marion
County. Thus the fight has
progressed beyond the stage of

State Under Indictment
Progress has been made, but at
present the entire State of Indiana
is under indictment, and our people
held up to shame for permitti>c
such conditions to exist.
"These charges are true, or they
are false, and those indicted owe it
to themselves and to the people of
Indiana to promptly go into court,
and without assistance of legal
technicalities, to stand trial on the
merits of the Issue. If those &C.
cused are innocent, their innocence
should be made clear; if they are
guilty, their guilt should be re-
vealed. But the honor and good
name of Indiana should not be hid
den behind a statute Of limitations.

has just begun. There are others

allowed to escape. We commit our
