UNC Enrolment
Hits New Record

Chapel Hill. Oct. 19.-Student
enrolment at the University OF
North Carolina at Chapel Hill has
almost trebIed in the last 20 years,
according to a complete report for the
fall term, released today by |. G..
Griffin,' director of the Central
Records Office.
Associate Registrar Ben Husbands
dug into his files and found that the
enrolment for the fall Of 1920. two
decades ago, was 1920, and that for
the fall of 1880 it was 3.0l7.
The final count for this fall was
4.095, representing new record and
an increase Of around $50 over last
year.
A total of $3.50 or almost two
thirds of the students served by the
University come from North Caro-
lima. However, the others were scat
tered over "A states and several for
eign countries, showing how widely
the University's reputation and in
fluence have spread.

$40 cents per pound for best bunch.
Meanwhile, digging Of the new crop
has been heavy during the past week.
If the weather continues favorable
half of the crop may be dug by the
end Of the present week.
Snap-beans were in heavy receipt
on the New York wholesale fruit
and vegetable market during the
past week and North Carolina pOun-
tifuls declined from 25 to 50 cents
per bushel. Shipments from the
northeastern part Of the state closed
at IS cents to LOO a bushel in con-
trast to 100 to 1.50 last week. Porto
Rican sweet potatoes lost little
price ground early in the period but
bounded back to close steady in New
York at LOO to 1.25 buShel.
Production Of creamery butter is
showing the effects Of the record
rate OF milk production. Instead Of
registering a seasonal decline for

Of last year, was II percent higher.
Paying prices of candled and grad
ed u. S. extra large eggs advanced
l cent per dozen to 80 and 81 cents
in the Raleigh area this week. Other
grades Of eggs and live poultry, how
ever were unchanged from a week

OTHERS VIEWS
PROF. PAYNE EXPLAINS HIGH
SCHOOL,. Clubs
To The Editor.

10 1 ne EQllul.
Your editorial entitled CLUBS OF
Learning raises a question that con-
Germs every parent OF the Henderson
high school. and believe that our
parents would like to have more
complete information about this pro-
gram here.
A few years ago he had no pro-
vision for clubs TO meet during the
scheduled school day. Clubs had to
meet after school hours and fire.
.quently met at night either at the
school or in one OF the homes Of the
members. This situation led to SO
many conflicts Of meeting dates and
frequently we found certain pupils
that were joining five or six clubs
each year. As our faculty here con-
Sidc"cd this situation we felt that !
better solution should be worked
out. This led to the provision in the
daily schedule for an Activity per-
iod. This is the period at which clubs
meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
This tall few days after school
opened the entire student body Of
the high school met in the auditorium
to consider the question Of clubs
here. AS their principal offered the
student body the privilege Of voting
to eliminate the club period from our
schedule The student body entered
into very careful and interesting
discussion period: which was pre-
sided over by Julia Zollcoffer, pres
ident Of the Student Body.
After much discussion of the club
program here in the past few years,
and its value 10 the school and Our
students, the student body was per-
United to vote on the question Of
whether or not we should continue
! to have a Club Period in our regular
/ weekly program. The student body
voted almost unanimously by &C
clamatiOn to continue the arrange
!ment of past years and provide for
a time each week for clubs 10 meet
during the school day.
On Wednesday, October l6, several
dozen mothers attended the regular
October meeting Of the PIT. A. here
in the library. They had asked ne
to spea!; to them, and quite by chance
chose the topic: The Club Pro-
gram i'll Henderson High School.
After explaining the present pro-
gram, the mothers were given 4
chance to ask questions about the
purpose Of our club schedule. These
Inn theirs voted unanimously in favor
u the present arrangement and urg-
ed It's to continue the plan.
! You will observe that we have
IeIeven clubs which meet on Tuesday
land nine which meet Oil Thursday
Since all Tuesday clubs meet at eX-
'actty the same time it is impossible

High School Clubs

In the Others Views" depart
mcnt on this page is communica-
ton by Prof. W. ID. Payne, principal
Of Henderson high school, relating
| Ia the system of clubs and societies
at The high school. He writes 10
clarity the situation by way of COM
ment on some observations in this
column Il few days ago.
Prof. Payne writes favorably of
the activities and purposes of the
MYRIAD organizations that have
sprung up at the school in late years.
He undertakes to justify them as
valuable adiuuCtS Of school life, and
they may be 1t depends on the VieW-
point.
The system is new departure
from former times, but that in itself
is no argument against it. The only
standard ion proper measurement is
as to whether clubs and societies
fill a real need. whether they
broaden me horizon Of students in
preparation ion 4 chosen career, or
bridge gaps left in regular scholastic
culTicula.
Whether they earn credits toward
graduation * not i matter Of def
jnItc knowledge with Us. With 4 few
exceptions. we doubt if they add TO
students equipment Tor college
entrance.
Our previous comment was not in
tended as any sort of carpn9 cri-
,iciSm. but WIGS motivated by what
appears 10 be 4 movement carried %
unnecessary extremes, some OF lis
reaches seemingly contributing little
o. nothing To the essential training
OF an adoieSCcnt child. It would be
more natural To assume that boys
inclination toward electrical work
would be aided in larger measure by
MS science course rather than by
particular club. What is to be gained
in the way Of equipment for 4 career,
in photography by belonging to a.
high school society we cannot say.
Membership in the band or orchestra,
however, might easily lead a boy
into music a> a profession.
\ few organizations should not
furnish excessive distraction from re-
guar studies. but tWenty-odd diff
terent Clubs and societies in one
high school is Il super abundance. /
II parents desire and approve the
constantly increasing number of
these units Of eNtra-curricular &C
tivity us part Of the school work of
their children. that is. of course, their
affair. The more of them admitted !,
md the fewer child ariiliateS with,
the more he or She is likely to be-
come wall flower among the STU
dent body and the less the credit
rating in competition for honorS an
nounced At graduation time-honOrs
which. after all. add no great deal

the problems of after life.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1940-10-19

!@r aHT student 10 belong to more
/ than one Tuesday club. 1t is the same
situation with the Thursday clubs
and no student can belong to more
| than one Thursday club.
In former years our band had to
meet at night. This is no longer
necessary us the band now has Il
period every day to have their re-
hral*;al periods. Our glcc clubs used
IL be forced to meet at night on
after school. and this took the glec
club members away from home one
or two nights each week. Under In"
present arrangement the glcc clubs
meet at the regular club period once
each week. This arrangement climi-
Rates the necessity Of asking mem
bgls To come for rehearSaIS at night.
The fundamental principle behind
our club program here is the idea of
free choice on the part of the pupiI.
No pupil is required to Join Il clui'.
Thus ne joins On.y IT he is Interested
He works with Il group Of 80 to IS
students interested in the same
thing and this arrangement makes
a fine learning situation. Many Of
our club activities are definitely OF
IN educational nature and the mem
brrS learned many very worthwhile
things that would not come into our
narrow and formal subject matter
fields.
Students find an outlet for their
special interests and apttudes Many
of these students find lasting salts
faction an enjoyment in Club work.
| happen to recall off-hand these
students who are today earning their
living in fields that they entered
because of their interest aroused
from club membership while in high
school:
|. d. f. Evans is commercial
photographer He started in science
club.
= J. w. Partin has followed the
same path.
3. Elvie Turner is a professional
electrician. He began here in school
in the science club.
/. Paul Patterson hopes 10 become
4 professional musician. He began
his career here in the high schoo!
orchestra.
| believe these Illustrations could
be multiplied many times if we
could have the complete record of
men and women who are now earn
inc a living from some field Of work
that challenged them while in some
high school club.
You will find attached complete I
schedule of the present club arrange
ment in the high school. | would .
like to invite every high school par |
emf to study the plan and then lei !
me know how they feel about the |
question OF clubs here.
The faculty of the Henderson high |,
school will gladly abolish the club !
period if and when a majority OF
the high school parents prefer that
we do this. The high school of Hen !
derSon belongs TO parents and tax !
payers and the faculty here greatly /
desires to run the kind Of schools !
that our citizens want. We invite !
both favorable and un- |
favorable at any time. Only in this !!
way can we know the desire of Our /
people.

On the Credit Side


One hears much laiN ABOUT tire
short tobacco crop and the smaller
income the county will receive from
its sale this year, and on the basis
of that. recurring fears and COM
plants OF living difficulties that
may follow in its wake. But an
analysis OF the situation might be
helpIJI ii throwing of some Of
this dependency.
On the debit side is the small crop,
and that : the >a.IeL and about all
the debit there IS.
On the credit side OF the ledger are
many hopeful aspects vi conditions
for this fall season. Tobacco prices
thus far are approximately one-thjrd
higher. The Very tact that the crop
is smaller means that it has been
produced al less expense OF time,
effort and cash outlay. There IS,
too. considerably larger cotton
crop. the best in quality the county
has had IN years. and the price is
equally Us good as 4 year ago There
is increased. one might say double,
the employment in the automobile
industry here. The cotton mills are
running practically full time. as are
the bagging mill and the tobacco fac
tories. The same IS true Of the
flour and feed mill. and other in
dustrial enterprises. Living costs
are as vet Virtually no higher than
q year AGO.
All Of these activities mean payrolls
and incomes. They offer Jobs for
idle hands and steady wages for
