prospects.
Supt. Berbee welcomed the visi
tors end pupils and then spoke on
the cooperation that m?et be had
in order to hatfe a successful
adbool. He told the natrons many
way* in *$ich they can cooperate.
He emphasised the importance of
borne atudy, being prompt to all
school duties, especially to chapel
exercises in the morning, and the
close relationship that should ex
ist between home and school. After
this Kev. C. L. Dowell made a
few appropriate remarks, extend
ing to the teachers a welcome
to the town, its homes and
churches.
Dr. C. G. Powell s|>oke in be
half of the school board, assuring
the teachers of their loyalty aud
support. He said the trustees
will use ail available means to
make ibis school second to no
High School in the State.
'Die students then marched to

many coming from nearby towns

der the supervieon of Miss Buelah
Vann.
Another encouraging feature of
the scliool work, is the re organiza
tion of the Woman's Betterment
Association on last Friday after
noon.
It was indeed gratifying to see
so many mothers present, each in
terested in the needs of the school
and doing her part to supply them.
Diis betterment work is what
might be termed the dynamo in
the school plant. Since so much
depends on this, why ain't we en
roll every mother in the town or
community f
The meeting is held once a
month in the school building, a
notice of which is in the Herald
the week before. It is earnestly
desired that the attendance shall
be doubled at the October meeting.
Let ua all get the spirit of
"boosting" our school, which is a
sure mean* of putting any organi
zation in a higher level. Nothing
less than success can result from
the spirit of boosting combined
with that of co-oDeration.

vice that we shut ins can do and
feel tbe pleasure of doing."

U. N. C. Debating Union is
/' Widening in Scope.
Chanel Hill, Sept. 20.?The
high school debating uh'on of the
University is rapidly widening the'
scope of its iuftnghce. DurThgThe
three years of its existence the
Union has met with wonderful
success. In 1913, 90 schools par
ticipated in the debate; in 1914,
150 schools; and in 1915, 250
schools. The indications are that
the contest this year will be the
largest and most successful of all.
But that is not all?the influence
of the Union has gouts beyond the
bounds of the Slate. Recently
there whs a movement to establish
this same system in Tennessee. A
student from the University of
,North Carolina, J. Frank Jerrell,
class of 1916, was behind this
movement. Jerrell has recently
been appointed by the Tennessees
Superintendent of Public Instruc
ion to work out a similar plan for
the high school of Tennessee.
Jerrell is principal of the hitch
school at Normandy, Teon. Last
year, while a student at the Uni
versity, he served on a committee
appointed by the Dialectic Liter
ary Society to assist the standing
committee in working out details
fyj- the debate. Thoroughly im
bued with the great possibilities
offered to such a debating union,
he took the matter up with the
state superintendent of public in
struction soon after his arrival in
Tennessee. That official became
interested in the proposition and
appointed Jerrell chairman of a
committee to work out the details
for such an organization in Tenn
essee. This committee has gotten
in touch with the North Carolina
Union and has requested the latter
to assist them in working out plans
for a high school debating union
in Tennessee. The Tennessee sys
tem will probably be a little more
complicated than the North Caro
lina system News and Observer.

Advertising North Carolina.
Chapel Hill, N. C.-The first
meetiog of the North Carolina
Club was held Monday night,
Sept. 20th. The primary purpose
of the meeting was toaiart the or
ionization of county ciubs and
plan work for the present year.
At this meeting there whs an open
discussion on "Advertising North
Carolina." In developing this
subject it was shown, 1st, What
We Have to Advertise; 2nd, Why
We Need to Advertise; Effective
Ways of Advertising. In Dr.
Branson's opinion this subject is
the most important one now con
fronting the people of North Car
ojina. The first problem to be
worked out by the Club will be a
detailed study of tbe 1915 tax lists
in the various counties. Already
some of the Club members are at
work on such subjects as: pauper
ism, homicides, suicides, and other
similar topics connected with
North Carolina fife.
Last year 121 North Carolina
subjects were worked out by va
rious Club members. These sub
jects embraced such topics as:
School, 8 today School and Ch-Urch
surveys of North Carolina by
counties; a detailed study of the
local market problem in Mecklen
berg,, .Wayne, Wake, Lincoln,
Butherford. Granville, Randolph,
and Northampton counties. "El
bow Room for Homeseekers"?
a study of the uncultivated areas
of the State; "The Bill for Impor
ted Food and Feed Stuff;" and
"Tax Values of Farm Lands Gim
pared with Census Values."
These are a few random pickings
fpom the 121 topics worked out by
the Club last year.

The Sunday Preacher.
WALTER R. JOHNSON.
The preacher was up in the pulpit.
The aalaried choir waa there.
The paid aoliat with eaae did alt,'
everything looked fair.
And now the organ peala forth loud,
Itamuaic rich and grand.
The anthem'a aung, not by the crowd.
By thoae about the atand.
And now the preacher fita hia glaatee.
With air givea out the aong,
Which ia chimed in, by the maaaea,
Who aing both loud and atrong.
And an the eerviee, it eontinoea.
The preacher takea hia text;
There's little said of sina at home,
TlTe Devil is not vexed.
TheVe sits the rich man in hia |?w,
Whose locks are silver-gray.
To hia denomination true.
He does freely pay.
The scarlet woman ia made to smile,
Because of the Sunday preacher,
She knows that money will beguile
And give them a false teacher.
The money-lender he does please,
The landlord hard on rent.
The slanderer sits with perfect ease.
And none of them repent.
The shyster sits with perfect ease.
With head both bald and bare.
Bald from study of lying pleas
To carry his points unfair.
The lying trickster is not stung.
Nor exposed to public gaze,
Hia merits, if any, are loudly sung.
In words of meed and praise.
The quack, he too, is in his place,
Oo this bright Snbath morning.
He wears a broad smile on his face
Because he gets no warning
Of what will be his doom some day,
WHfcn from each point and quarter
The cry will rue from thoae who pay
Him gold for bottled water.
The tricky merchant, short on measure.
Has borrowed a saintly look,
The preacher knows he's filled his
treasure,
By playing the wily crook.
And while he knows, and knbws it well.
He should condemn such acts.
Ha-fails in thunder tones to tell
The guilty ones the facta.
Which might arouse a sleeping eon
science.
And drive to the heart conviction.
And save them from the consequence
Of their lost condition.
Oh. preacher man! how can you atand
Before your congregation
And fail to warn those of your band
Of their wretched situation?
And now the sermon comes to a close,
And now they stand and sing.
And none have thought of Christ who
rose, ,
Their Redeemer and their King.
And now we hear the benediction.
Which is the best of all.
It speaks of Christ, whose crucifixion
Raised man from Adam's fall.
Now all file out?at least one-half
No better?let's hope, np worse;
The Oevil has surely had a laugh,
Such sermons are a curse.
