N.C.E.A. Demands
Larger Funds
The school forces of North Car
olina will probably demand at the
next General Assembly that the
appropriation fbr the statewide ed
ucational program be increased,
that local supplements for local
schools also be increased, and that
a part of the surplus funds from
the highway department be divert
ed for the use of the educational
department, according to a report
of the work of the annual conven
tion of the Southern Piedmont Dis
trict of the North Carolina Educa
tional Association.
Mr. Guy B. Phillips, president of
the N. C. E. A., said that a “sum
less than $26,000,000 for each year
of the next biennium will be too
small.” He suggested an average
sa’ary of $850 for North Carolina
teachers. Mr. Phillips went on to
lay that he “recognized the basic
foundation of public education in
North Carolina today as establish
ed under our state-wide eight
months term.” But, he added, the
schooling made possible by state
appropriation, would be recognized
as the minimum and should be sup
plemented by local funds, where
possible, to afflord a better curri
culum, high paid teaching staff,
and wider range of subject matter.
Either a luxury tax or an in
creased sales tax may he proposed,
according to the report. Last year
about $5,000,000 was raised for the
schools from the sales tax. It is
not likely that the association will
ask for a state tax on real or per
sonal property.
The N. C. E. A. hopes to in
crease the standards of education
in North Carolina by educating the
public to the necessity for better
education facilities in this state.

ary Clubs of College
Chapel Programs
Will Be Improved
This year there is a determina
tion to bring worthwhile entertain
ment to student programs. There
shall be talks on government, in
strumental music, speakers from
outside, and school talent.
Mr. E’liott spoke on Wednesday,
November 21, and on Saturday, 24,
Mrs. To-wnsend played the ’cello.
In the future there shall he pre
sented skits by the literary socie
ties, piano players from WBT, a
program by the “Blind Singer,” and
offerings from the Dramatic and
Music schools of Queens.
On Friday night, November 23,
at eight o’clock the students of
Queens had the privilege of hear-
,ing M,iss Helen Clarkson Miller
speak in the auditorium on the
subject “Work of Women in the
League.” She was sponsored by
the A. A. U. W. and the honor so
cieties of Queens College. This is
the first time that the honor socie
ties on the campus have been spon
sors.
Miss Miller is a widely known in
ternational figure, for she has
been active in both national and
international affairs. She is chair
man of National Educational Com
mittee of the League of Nations
Association and was formerly Met
ropolitan Secretary of Y. W. C. A.
with headquarters in New Yoi’k
City. At several of the confer
ences of the Federation of League
of Nations Societies Miss Miller
has been a representative, and she
has spent many summers in Gen
eva. She has recently returned
from a journey which took her to
Syria, Iraq, Palestine, Egypt, Tur
key, and Greece.
Her lectures have not been lim
ited to presentation in this coun
try; she has spoken to groups in
Paris, Syria, Bagdad, and Alexan,-
dria. But Miss Miller has a mes
sage of special significance in re
gard to America’s relationship
with the countries of the world, for
she has for years been interested in
the development of the study of in
ternational relations in the United
States through the curricula of
schools and colleges. She is,
therefore, particularly well quali
fied to lecture to student groups.
It is hoped that Miss Miller’s lec
ture will arouse the interest of the
students of Queens in the affairs of
the world.
Members of the Spanish classes
and others who are interested in
Spain, its people, language, his
tory, art, and customs, have organ
ized a Spanish club under the spon
sorship of Dr. Luciie Delano. The
primary purpose of the club is to
supplement the classwork with in-
formatory material that will give
the members a groader back
ground for their study.
The officers of the club are.
President — Margaret Elise
Crocker.
Vice-President—Louise Thomp
son.
Secretary—Mary Alice Roebke.
Treasurer—Barbara Summitt.
New Class Schedule
Planned for 1935-36
With the idea of making better
use of the laboratory equipment
and abolishing crowded laborato
ries, the schedule committee of
the faculty is working on a revi
sion of the class schedules. That
revision will become effective for
the year 1935-1936. No schedules
will be changed for the second sem
ester of this year.
Under the present schedule of
classes, the laboratories remain va
cant during the entire morning
and are crowded during the entire
afternoon. The committee plans to
schedule some ofi the labs for the
morning periods, with the remain
der for the afternoon hours.
Such a plan necessarily means
that there will have to be more
classes scheduled for the periods
immediately after lunch, but the
new plan will at the same time
abolish many of the blocked sched
ules.
