urday. , Officials: of the University of
North Carolina have completed plans
for making the present School of Ed
ucation into a modern teachers col
lege equal to' the best to be found in
American state universities.
, "The two major purposes of a
teachers college in a state univer
sity," Professor Walker said, "are to
improve the quality of teaching in
the schools by supplying competent
leadership and to train teachers for
the elementary and secondary schools
normal schools and colleges, princi-
pals, supervisors and superinten
dents, and technical workers in the
field of education."
The conference will open Thursday
night, November 15, with a banquet
at which Dr. Harry W. Chase and Dr.

The most important immediate -project
of the School of Education is the ;
development, of training school facil
ities. Following - a gift of $75,000
from the General Education Board
of New York Qity in the spring of
1926, the acting dean of the School
of Education entered into an agree-
ment with v the ' ChaDel Hill Schnnl '
H pointed out in a statement
to the News that Ihe department of
jusice would not investigate it, as
had been reported, but the House
must conduct an investigation in case
of protest. v
It would involve, considerable ex-
pense on the part of, the government
to conduct and investigation.
, .Although no definite action has
been taken, Mr. Harden stated that
notice of contest in the election might
be filed with the national house of
representatives. i
Second Grail Dance
Of the Year Given
Last Saturday Night
- - . .. . . . .
inree things combined themselves!
to enable the Grail to stage one of the
best dances that it has ever given
last Saturday . night. The football
game with South Carolina, several
fraternity dances, and the mere fact
that the Grail was to give a dance,
all served to attract probably the best
set of girls that has attended a dance
here in a long time. Several distin
terested spectators have expressed the
opinion that no dance given by the
urail m recent years has approached
tnis one m the manner in which it
was carried out and in the crowd that
attended it. . , '
The dance began promptly at nine
o clock, and in a few minutes every
thing was m full swing.-YThe music
furnished by the Carolina Buccaneers
was incomparable, and served to buoy
up the spirits of the North Carolina
supporters who had become depressed
over the failure of their team to win
the game. The decorations we're car
- ried out to perfection, and- much ad-
miratkm was expressed over, their
uniqueness. The plans of the officers
of the order to prevent too great a
crowd from being on the floor worked
very successfully.
The next dance "to be given by the
Grail will be held on the evening of
December 8, following the football
game with Duke. This game is ex
pected to be the best on the home field,
and a good crowd is expected toVre'n
main over for the dance.
