Geology Class Takes Trip
The Geology H B. class went on a field
trip the last week in April, visiting the
Talc mine at Glendon, N. C., and the
coal jnines at Cumnock. N. C.
The class received valuable informa
tion through the study of the deposits
and under the instruction of Prof.
Powell.
The Talc njine at Glendon is one of
the best in North Carolina, being a
deposit of expoliated soapstone and car
rying a very good grade of talc. The
deposit is about one half mile in width
and the depth is uncertain. Tlie deposit
has been estimated as carrying five
million tons of workable tale.
The mine is run by Mr. Benjamin
Luff, o’f Boston, a veiy encrgetic man.
who is interested in the developificnt
of North Carolina’s resources.
He made the study interesting for
the class at his mine with valuable in
formation, going through and explain
ing in detail the nature of the deposit
and the workings of the material to
the finished product.
On the way from Sanford, N. C., to
Cumnock, the class stopped and studied
a deposit of rod sandstone, which was
deposited in the Triassie age. The de
posit comes to the surface at a cut in
the new highw’ay between Sanford and
Cumnock.
The class was unfortunate in being
unable to get to' enter the mines either
the Carolina or Cumnock, owing to the
investigations being made by an
engineer of the mine.
Nevertheless the class studied the
coal shale and slate that w’as brought
to the surface. Some very valuable
specimejis were found and brought back.
Mr. Gardner L^nderhill got credit for
making the best find, which was a
shak^«l tooth in almost perfect condi
tion.
The trip was enjoyed by all.
The lota Tan Kappa boys were en
tertained by an outing and a picnic
given by the Honorary members Wed- i
nesday night. May lltf). '

roasting of weinies began. An excel
lent dish of Brunswick stew called the
Brannoek mixture, was served. Boiled ^
eggs slaw and pickles added Of the
menu. I
Mesdumes Brannoek^ Harper and
tlo'ok added much jollity to the after-!
noon. Every one regretted that Dr.
Harper couldn’t be present. Also that
Mrs. Barney was not present. |
Dan Long Newman/^entertained the
crowd with a race around the campfire ,
when he had eaten all he could and
wanted more. Paul Walker’s million

During his sermon he noticed that one
of the patients paid the closest atten
tion. his eyes riveted upon the preach

roticed that the man spoke to the super
intendent. So' the preacher inquired:
'Did that man speak to you about toy
sermon ? ”
“Yes.”
“Would you mind telling me what
he said?”
“Well,” replied the superintendent,
with some hesitation, “wjiat the man

Wool Weaving Made
School Study Courae
Wool weaving as a history project
was effectively worked out in the
third grade of the training school
of State Teachers’ college at Man
kato, Minn., last session. The pur
pose was to develop a historical
senee and background through a
study of pioneer conditioDS in the
children’s own community. All
work, as far as possible, was done
by the children. In sujjervised study
periods they road and discussed
tools and processes, and became
deeply interested in the story of the
past. When possible, implements of
former days or pictures were ob
tained and kept as exhibits at school
during the carrying out of the proj
ect. Crude models were made, and
children and teacher worked to
gether in weaving a small mat.
Many new words were learned, and
in the development of the project^
reading and spelling, oral and writ
ten c-omposition, writing and in
dustrial art figured largely.—School
