Convention
According to Mr. B. Y. Tyner,
Mercditii Education heftl, “Tlie
teachers of the state carry on!
Despite the existing financial
conditions, between fifteen hun
dred and two thousand teachers
and school officials gatliered in
Raleigli Tliursday, Friday and
Saturday of last week to con
sider how most effectively to
carry on the work of educating
the youth of the state.
In the opening session Thurs
day evening President Erwin
sounded the keynote of the con
vention in insisting that wc go
fon£»ard—economically, yes, but
nevertheless foi*ward. Among
other things he pointed out that
the United States spends anually
$1,600,000,000 on its 500,000
criminals in jails and $2,500,-
000,000 on its 26,000,000 school
children. It is estimated that it
costs $100 a year to keep a child
in school and $300 a year to sup
port a criminal. Agreeing that
reasonable economy in the
budget for education is neces
sary, Mr. Erwin protested
against ‘a budget whicli is bal
anced largely at the expense of
child opportunity in North
Carolina.’

Barrie Production
Daily practices under Dr.
W. C. Horton’s direction are
fast preparing the cast of the
senior class play for their pre
sentation of Barrie’s “What
Every Woman Knows,” to be
given next Saturday, April 8, at
8:30 o’clock.
The selection of a Barrie play
has received the acclaim of many
faculty members and students.
“What Every Woman Knows”
is one of the most popular of the
Barrie plays, and the characters
chosen from the senior class are
showing fine talent in the re

not conflict with study for exam
inations, as has been the case
heretofore. Tickets, 25 cents
each, are now being sold.
