mittance to the bar at the recent
semi-annual examination pre
pared by the Supreme Court of

This well known Charleston
phosphate bed lies from five to
fifteen feet underground and it
is so rich in fossil remains
of both marine and land animals
that it is known the world over.
In the short period of an hour,
130 fossil sharks' teeth and
many other fossils were gather
ed from a phosphate dump.
The great abundance of froth
land and marine forms in this
phosphate bed has caused much
speculation, and several years
ago Bishop Keener went so far as
to publish a book concerning the
conditions. It was his belief
that the area between the two
rivers, the Ashley and the Coop
er, was the real garden of Eden
and that the vast number of
fossil bones in the phosphate bed
resulted from the Noachian de-
luge.

By Don Shoemaker'
A spirited airing of North
Carolina's case for education
brought five thousand citizens
from every section of the state
to Raleigh's massive Memorial
auditorium yesterday afternoon.
Hundreds thronged the streets
of the capital enroute to the
mass meeting, coming from the
legislative chambers and hotels
from noon until 3:00 o'clock,
when the vast hall was packed
with an intense and serious
crowd of educators, students
and citizens, who sought judi
ciously to weigh what later was
described as the chief asset of
North Carolina education.
From the large crowd of
speakers it remained for Dr:
Frank P. Graham, president of
the University and Kemp Battle,
an alumnus, to set the educa
tional and political keynote of
the day. Their remarks and the
opinions of citizens speaking
from the floor were both unique
and momentous in the educa
tional annals of North Carolina.

ment issued yesterday by Harry
F. Comer, general secretary.
The exercises, to which attend
ance will be voluntary is open to
all students in the University.
The initiation of the religious
gatherings came as a result of
an action on the part of the Uni
versity committee on chapel pro
grams to inaugurate meditation
periods on the days that regular
chapel exercises do not take
place. Accordingly, Dean F. F.
Bradshaw, of the committee,
asked the co-operation of the Y.
M. C. A. in the project.
First Program Tuesday
The programs, which will" be
gin with an exercise next Tues
day, will consist of two selec
tions of meditation music' by
Walter Patterson, University
organist. One selection will be
played at the beginning of the
program, and will be followed
by a short relierious reading- bv
a member of one of the Y. M. C.
A. cabinets. The exercises ?will
end with Patterson's second "mu
sical rendition.
'" The meditation programs'" will
take place throughout the win
ter and spring quarters. They
will probably embrace Mondays
and Fridays when regular cha
pel exercises are not conducted.
