WEAVER PLANS A
POOL OR A LAKE
ON DURHAM ROAD
Engineers and Sanitary Experts
Are Advising Dairyman
on His Project
AN AMBITIOUS ENTERPRISE

c. H. Weaver, proprietor of
the Oak Grove Dairy, is planning
to build a swimming pool along
side the Durham road on the out
skirts of Chapel Hill. His pro-
posed site is on the slope of the
hill little way this side of the
one-mile bridge.
Or, he says, he may build a
lake instead of g pool. He has
not quite decided. He has ac-
quired a large tract of land,
running up along the highway
and embracing the creek valley
half a mile or so up from the
bridge.
Engineering and sanitary ex-
perts have been engaged by him
to make an examination of the
ground, to estimate the volume
of water that may be obtained
from the creek, and to devise a
method of so sterilizing the
water that it will conform to
modern health standards. He
will not go ahead with his pro-
ject until he has received final
reports from these experts.
Mr. Weaver has already clear
ed ground Immediately upon the
highway for the erection of
house 40 feet long and 26 feet
wide, which is to contain both a
filling station and a dining
room. Already a shelter for the
barbecue pit has been built.
Here Mr.: Gooch, Chapel Hills
foremost barbecue wizard, will
roast the pigs.
Mr.. Weaver says he is not
yet prepared to set a date at
which his pool or lake will be
completed. He cannot go ahead
until he has digested the re-
ports of the experts and figured
0uttt now 1nuUh capital VIII be re-
quired for the project.

President Chase Stays
People Are Pleased by His Declination
of Offer from New York

People in Chapel Hill and
throughout the state have greet
ed with delight the announce
ment that H. w. Chase, presi-
dent of the University, has de-
cided to stay here. He made
known early this week his de-
cision not to accept the offer
from the Social Science Research
Council in New York.
The position with the Council
carries salary eff 500 900 900 a and 4 4
generous retiring allowance,
And it has many other attrac-
tions.
Many of the newspapers have
given expression to the general
feeling of satisfaction that Mr.
Chase will remain at the head OF
the University. North Caro-
lima and her University are to be
congratulated on the decision, u
says the NelUs and Observer;
and the Durham Herald says
Each generation sees very few
men of the DR.. Chase type. They
are scarce, and for that reason
when a state mas one of them ii
should feel proud of him."
These passages are fair speci-
mems of the general tone of
press comment.

An Easter Parade

They are planning an Easter
day parade in Durham. The
Merchants Association asks
everybody to walk to and from

street, instead of riding. Rep

way, says the Herald. Ito catch
the city's celebrities in holiday
mood and attire. These pic

quently in the newspapers. So

work with the photographers,
and particularly chic and appro-
pirate costumes will be depicted
verbally as we'll as by the cam
erafnen."

citation w. o. Sparrow, secre-
tary, presented a report that
showed the association to be in
flourishing condition.

earned a return of 7.80 per cent
In the IA months from the be-
ginning of 1923 to the day OF
the meeting installments of

stallments of $62,701.75 ma
tured. The balance in the in.
stallment account is $177,575. .25
The mortgage loans to home
builders now outstanding a
mount to $248,850.
Since it was organized nine
years ago the association has
loaned $462,525 for home build.
ing. 1t has paid to shareholders
on matured stock ,266.75.

tributed in profits to stockhold.

dress, | remarked a gorgeous
red bloom in the H. d. Meyer
yard. had never seen a flower
like it before. Look" | bade

bloom moved. from behind the

blueness of his overalls set off

top.
Messrs. Gray and Bailey of
Raleigh are about to stimulate
me to learn something about the
songs of birds. Mr.. Bailey
says that, when nesting is over
and moulting is on, the cardinal
gives a new and gentle music,
and he counsels me: "Go out in
the early morning about April
18th and hear" Sometimes
when | can't sleep | go into the

and read, and sometimes dawn

receivable from the State will
be reduced by the amount col
lected in the county from these
sources. Thus there will be an
actual reduction in the revenue
for the support of the six
months term in, each county,
the total for all of the counties
in tho State being more than a
million dollars. The first pur-
poseiof this law is thus shown to
be tax reduction and a conse-
quent reduction in the funds
available for schools.
A second fund provided in
this Jaw is an appropriation of
$1,259,000 per annum for the
aid of special-tax districts in
the support of the extended
term. This fhnd is called the
Tax Reduction Fund and is
available only on condition that
the local tax rate be reduced in
proportion to the amount of the
State appropriation. While this
fund viii not increase the funds
for the extended term, it is a
hopeful sign that the General
Assembly has recognized for
the first time in any substantial
way that the State owes an obli-
cation for the support of schools
beyond the minimum of six
months.
A second feature of the law
is that which-relates to the num-
ber of teachers to be employed.
There are conflicting provisions
in regard to this important mat
ter, but either of the provisions
will result in a decrease in the
number of teachers allowed and
a conse4lent Increase in the
number of pupils per teacher,
The law provides that a county
which participates in the State
Equalizing Fund will not be al
lowed more than one elementary
teacher for each 30 pupils in
average daily attendance for
the preceding year, and one high
school teacher for each q pu-
pills in attendance during the
preceding year unless special
approval for an increased NUM-
ber be granted by the State
Board of Equalization. This
provision will result in crowd
ing large numbers of pupils in
certain rooms due to the fact
that pupils have to be placed ac-
cording to individual differences
and cannot be distributed even
ly among the various grades.
Numbers of teachers in the
State will be deprived of em-
ployment, the exact number de-
