SEXES ARE SEPARATED
IN FRENCH SCHOOLS
Schools in France for the most
]>art arc not coeducational, but in
some places they admit both boys
and girls. In maternal schools iny
child under six may attend. Each
commune is expected to maintain at
least one elementary primary school.
In small communes the schools are
of necessity mixed, but where two
or more schools are supported the
usual practice is to separate the
sexes. The superior primary schools,
the secondary, normal and technical
schools are usually not coeducational
Schools for boys are generally
t.HUght by men and schools for girls
by women, but some courses in sec
ondary schools for girls are given by
men teachers. The proportion of
women teachers is increasing. The
universities of France are open to
both men and women.
NEW YORK LEGISLATURE
LENGTHENS SCHOOL
YEAR
Number of days each year during
which school must be in session
been increased from 180 to 190 by

Legislature. Compulsory attendance

ployed minors, M to 17 years of age,
except graduates of . 4-year high
school, is required in cities having
a po|)ulation of 20,000 or more, and
in districts where there are 200 or
more such employed minors. Ex
ceptions are made of children men
tally or physically defective. The
penalty against parents for permit
ting their children to violate attend
ance requirements was increased
from $5 or 5 days’ imprisonment to
$10 or 10 days’ imprisonment for a
first offense.
Freshman Installation
Ends Period Training
Memorial Hall Scene of Impressive
Salem College has begun a worthy
addition to her already rich store of
beautiful tradition, by establishing—
a regular termination of Fresh-
in training—an Installation Cere-
Tlie initial Freshman Installation
took place in Memorial Hall, on
Friday night, September the twen-
■-seventh, by candle-light. Lillyan
ewell, President of the On-Cam-
pus Student Government, with Mar
garet Vaugim, President of the Off-
Campus Student Government, pre-
iidcd. Dr. Rondthaler briefly ad-
Iressed the freshmen, emphasizing
he importance of a broad conception
■f fellowship; loyalty to class and
;o college; and unselfish subjugation
of “self” to further the aims of “the
group.”
Then the Presidents of the Stud
ent Government Associations receiv
ed the Freshman Class, as members
of the Student body, from the Presi
dent of their sister (the Junior)
class, thereby incorporating the
class of ’32 into the very spirit of
the college. Whereupon, the F'resli-
men—clad in white, marched, single
file, across the stage and cast all
bonds to other schools upon the
consuming flame of loyalty to Salem.
Tlie metamorphosis of the “green
freshmen” was complete when they
had read aloud and signed the
pledges of allegiance which the
black-robed members of the Student
Council had furnished them,
fitting conclusion to the ser-\
students sang, together, a v

music courses; Psychology 1 and 2
are a required junior science; six
language courses are required in the
first two years as in the College of
Liberal Arts proper; .Mathematics

tv-six courses required to graduate

A typical boasting American had
by some means got into heaven and
was raving garrulously about Niag

man near him started to giggle and
laugh.
“Do you mean to say,” said the
American, “that you think that eight

ask what your name is?”
‘Certainly,” replied the woman,

CAROLINA FAVORED
TO WIN OVER WAKE
BY 3 TO 33 POINTS
If general concensus of opinion
means anything, Carolina will break
losing streak of four years Satur
day and emerge an easy victor over
her ancient Baptist foe.
Guesses of the correct score of
Saturday’s game have been pouring
■;n, Stetson “D” offering a free neck
tie to every one guessing the correct
score, and students are unanimous in ^
the belief that Carolina will win.
Not a single prediction of a Wake
Forest victory was made. Estima-
ns of the score ran from a mar-
1 of three to 33 points.
The favorite guesses placed Caro
lina’s score at 19 and 20 and Wake
at (i and 7, with a number
of others estimating 13 to 0, 13 to 6,
nd so on. Thirty-three to nothing
^as the biggest margin of victory
iredicted, and the other guesses eov-
red almost every possible score be-
ween this and 6-3.
The contest ha» been drawing
quite a bit of interest, and probably
a thousand guesses will be turned
in before it is closed. Those guess
ing the correct score will be given
their pick of any necktie in the store
as their prize.
