ers to be cautious; and, partieu-

HumOrist's Daughter
Will Enter University

II. Allen Smith, the humorist. has
decided to send his daughter, Nancy,
to the University here. Or, maybe
Mrs. Smith decided it. Or maybe
Nancy did. Anyway, Nancy's coming
in September. It doesn't make any
difference who had the idea first,
they are sll in harmony about it.
Mrs. Smith is . graduate Of the
school of journalism at the Univer-
sity Of Missouri, one Of the most
famous schools of journalism in the
world, hence it might be supposed
that Nancy would be sent there.
But the old saying, "the proof of
the pudding is in the eating" applies
to this case. Mr.. Smith recently told
his friend, James Street, that he and
his wife had been checking up on the
performances Of newspaper men COM
ing from various institutions and
that they had decided that those COM
ing from the University of North
Carolina were at the top. He said
something to the effect that it wasn't
the number of the faculty members
of a journalism school that mat
tered, or the elaborateness of quar-
ters and equipment, or the length
and breadth of the curriculum, but
the quality of the training.

tend a meeting Of the Thoreau
Society. In my editorial last
week, about litter in Chapel Hill

to ask him what had come of
the movement, of which | heard,
to keep litter off the shores of
Thoreau's famous retreat, Wal
den Pond.
Il am able to assure you," he
writes upon his return from the
meeting, "that the debris situa-
tion at Walden Pond compares
favorably with that along the
streets of Chapel Hill. That is,
there is just about as much
debris per square yard at one
place as at the other. Each place
is tops in it's class: Walden Pond
has more litter than any other
pond; Chapel Hill has more lit
ter than any other university
community.
THE Thoreau Society has
quit assembling at Walden Pond.
