LIVELY SCRAP OVER HISTORY TEXTBOOKS i_ Raleigh, Nov. 23.—A lively con test is anticipated if and whan the elementary textbook committee gets into action, following the joint meeting of it and the high school commission with Governor Ehringhaus, Thursday at which time both were sworn in and start ed on their work. The contests will doubtless be on all histoi'y books, which are up for the consideration of the ele mentary committee and then by the State Board of Education, but the interest will likely be greater when it comes to thoughts of a North Carolina history, because of the increased local concern. The history now used in ele mentary grades is for the sixth gTade only. It was written by D. H. Hill and has been criticised on the ground that it is old and hard. There is, therefore, some senti ment for change. The U. D. C. of the State, at its recent meeting in High Point, went on record as having some North Carolina his tory courses in three, possibly four, of the elementary grades, probably from four to seven, in clusive. But there is something of a dearth of material in anything like proper form and brought up to date. However, two North Caruiina histories have recently been com piled and one has been printed. The second may be finished in time for consideration and it is possible that one or two others will be is ' sued. Already published, by the Uni versity Press, Chapel Hill, is the history of Professors W. C. Jack son and Arnett, both of whom were at the Woman’s College of the University of North Carolina, Greensboro, for several years. Dr. Jackson has recently gone to the University at Chapel Hill and Mr. Arnett has been teaching North Carolina history for several years. Another, said to be nearing com pletion, is one by Capt. S. A. Ashe, 93 year old historian and clerk of Federal court, Raleigh. He has published two large vcl- j Will Rogers Picks A Story For This Spot By WILL ROGERS '"THE opening night of a new play A is probably a lot of fun for everybody except the producer him self. Before the show is over he oughta live about seven lives just from worryin’ if it’s gonna be a success. That reminds me of a theatrical manager who was producing a play, and on opening night a very long wait occurred after the second act. The orchestra kept trying to bridgo the gp.p, but the old audience was getting mighty nervous. The pro ducer was sitting down in front, right in the middle and could not get out without bring noticed. All at once a loud sawing was heard at the back of the stage. A friend of the manager leaned over and asked him. “What’s that, Tom?” “Lord, I don’t know, unless the} are cutting out the third act.” (American News Features, Inc.) E umes on North Carolina history and is said to be writing- one as was the Jackson and Arnett book to take the place of the sixth grade Hill book. Also, R. D. W. Connor has written a history, which is said to be too old and hard for the elementary grades. The contest over selection of these books is likely to push into the background the United States and more general histories, since there will be the added interest of personal friendship and pull. Herbert Brown, who committed suicide in Coventry, Eng., left the following farewell message: “I have come to the end of my tether tra la la. I can not carry on any longer, hip hip, hooray. I am done, mind, body, and pocket, oh la la—” j -i Bran Breads Are Favorites By BARBARA BROOKS WHEN there are so many different kinds of bread that are easily and economically prepared right at home, it really seems a shame not to treat ourselves and our families to a little variety in the ‘‘staff of life.” The various bran breads will meet a hearty reception in practically every home. Furthermore, in serving them the housewife has the satisfaction of knowing that she is following the dic tates of good health as well as ap pealing to the palate.
