THIS IS'CHOWAN’S NEW SWIMMING POOL
When the trustees of Chowan began their plans for adding new buildings and equipment, one of the very first things they
decided to add was a convenient swimming pool and here it is in the above photograph. It is conveniently arranged in the base
ment of the new building, and directly beneath the combination auditorium stage—indoor gymnasium, with winding stairs lead
ing from above. The shower baths are also located next to the qwimraing pool. It has proven to be the most popular of all the
college equipment.

SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION
WINS AT HARRELLSVILLE
By an overwhelming vote, the prop
osition to consolidate the schools of
Harrellsville Township was carried
last Saturday, at an election held in
conjunction with the regular primary.
This township was already partly con
solidated ; and with the plan made in
clusive the school at Harrellsville will
probably be enlarged and the faculty
increased, to take care of the annex
ed territory.
Como increased its tax rate on the
same date. Maneys Neck Township is
now working under the consolidation
plan. The increase in the tax rate
was necessary to take care of a new
building. The vote there carried by
a very slight margin.

Alumnae To Have
Unified Program
District Leaders Have Been Ap
pointed To Reorganize In A
Surer Footing
A new era in alumnae work is fore
casted as the result of the Alumnae
Conference held on May 19, when a
new system of alumnae work was pro
jected by a number of leading alum
nae called together to discuss the
future of the alumnae association.
The plan adopted involves the divis
ion of the state into alumnae districts
with a district vice-president in
charge. While the new plan of or
ganization is somewhat in the nature
of an experiment it is certain that
with a more coherent organiza
tion great good will necessarily re
sult. Definite objectives will be pre
sented to the different districts
through the vice-presidents as soon
as the work of organization can be
completed.
The following districts with their
vice-presidents have already been
formed:
Ahoskie, N. C., Miss Mina Holloman
Colerain, N. C., Mrs. D. R. Britton
Como, N. C Mrs. Jethro Majette
Hobbsville, N. C., Mrs. W.H. Hollowell
Hertford, N. C Mrs. L. W. Norman
Littleton, N. C., Miss Daisy Bowers
Macon, N. C., Mrs. H. V. Scarborough
Norfolk, Va Mrs. G. W. Simpson
Powellsville, N. C.--Mrs. Will Cowan
Roper, N. C Mrs. W. A. Blount
Severn, N. C Mrs. J. L. Long
Union, N. C Mrs. W. A. Miller
Wake Forest, N. C Mrs. Will Dixon
Weldon, N. C. Mrs. Blanche B. Sawyer
Woodland, N. C Mrs. J. P. Griffin
A notable step was taken by the
association in founding a permanent
scholarship to be known as the Eunice
McDowell scholarship in honor of
Miss Eunice McDowell, whose faithful
and tireless work among the alumnae
has been outstanding through the
years. The scholarship will later be
endowed. It is hoped that other en
dowed scholarships will follow.
GREATER COSTS LESSEN AT
TENDANCE OF LATIN
AMERICANS
Increase in tuition charges and gen
eral cost of living in the United
States is reflected in the smaller num
ber of students and teachers from
Latin America attending schools in
the United States during the past
year, according to L. S. Rowe, Direc
tor General of the Pan American
Union. As a result of the greater
costs, arrangements have been made
in many instances whereby Latin-
American teachers give Spanish les
sons to meet their living expenses
while they are pursuing their studies
in American institutions. To secure
a larger interchange of students with
the Latin-American countries the Pan
American Pedagogical Congress is
working for a mutual recognition of
educational credentials.—School Life.
