THE ALAMANCE GLEANER. VOL. XLVIII Prions and Prison Life to be Studied With View to Legis lation. WAKE FOREST STUDENTS MEM BERS OF GREEK LETTER FRATERNITY DIS MISSED. Baptists to Build New Woman's Col lege on New Site. (By Maxwell Gorman.) Raleigh, May 10. —Several years ago former Lieutenant Governor Wilfred D. Turner of Iredell, while serving as state senator l'rom that county, succeeded in getting through the legislature a law that contained effective pro visions for the amelioration and betterment of conditions and treatment of prioners in the State Prison in Raleigh and on the state farms —if properly enforced by the executive officials and their assistants. These Raleigh Letters at the time carried particulars of the measure and the earnest light, made at the time by Governoi Turner, one of the best men in North Carolina* as well as one oi the ablest. It seems, however, that there is "something lacking" yet, and it is of such character that a hun dred more or less wise heads have been called to join in counsel to prepare remedies and such otlio paraphernalia as shall be needed to meet the demand springing up somewhat unanimously under the chaperonage, however, of the "North Carolina Conference for Social Service." According to announcement given out here, these one hundred more or less "reprsentatives" have been asked to serve on a coiflmit tee under the auspices of the North Caiv.l'na Conference for Social Service to find out what is wrong with the state's penal sys tem and to work out some remedy to be presented to the General Assembly next January in the form of suggested legislation. In cooperation with the State Board of Public Welfare, the com mittee Will make an intensive study of prison administration and prison conditions in the state, from the county jail to the State Prison, with particular attention lo the county chain gangs, where most of the prisoners in North Carolina are coulined. On these findings the committee will base its recommendations. Prison reform is not the aim of the organization, but an inquiry into the circumstances that make prisons, why men go back to prison the second time, why North C arolina is sixteeuth among the states in the number of homicide# iter thousand of population, i'lie w hole fabric of delinquency and reformation will be included, in the inquiry. Amoiig ihe definite questions to he considered by the citizens' com in it lee are the possibility of pro viding thorough physical aud meutal examinations of prisoners immediately after conviction in' order to determine the most ap propriate treatment; the develop ment of special industries in the .State Prison; the best means of caring for the crimiual insane;, the improvement ot conditions in road camps and county jails; the advisability of reasonable com pensation .of prisoners when pro ductively employed, this amount to be dsed for the support of their families or to accumulate for the benefit of the prisoners upou re lease: better proviaiou for the care of women otfenders; the ex tension of parole with better pro vision for strict supervision of Jhroled men. The conclusions of the commit tee m regaru to these and similar problems are to be embodied in bills to be presented to the next meeting of the state legislature. Every effort possible will be made to acquaint the people of the stale with the facts concerning our prison problems so that in telligent action can be taken in dealing with the situation. The full committee will be call ed into session sometime early in the summer to consider . reports that are being prepared under the supervision of the social service conference, and to effect perman ent organization. Disciplining Students. Twelve members of the Wake Forest student body have been dismissed fjom college by a vote of the faculty on •being found guilty of affiliation with a secret fraternity. The ruling that caused the faculty to dismiss the men from college is one of long standing and prescribed by the board of trustees of VVuIcS Forest. The regulation ; rescribed thai there i >e no Greek-.etter frtierni ties in the colleg-e and expulsion came when the faculty fou.id the twelve men guilty, Of the num ber expelled, three were members of the senior class and all were students in good standing. Summer School at the State College, Kaleigti. The ninth summer session at State! College will begin June 13 •ind continue through July 2, ac cording to Dr. A. W. Withers, the director. The courses given tlis year will be for teachers, for college entrance, for college credit, and a few graduate courses will be offered leading to advanced de grees. In addition, the summer session will offer again the popu lar course in cotton classing, which has been arranged with the view of helping the producer to judge the staple. In" the past cot ton buyers have also found this course very helpful. Teachers make up the large number of those attending the summer school, and it is for the beuetit of these that the college has established a summer session The teacher's courses are open to graduates of standard high schools and holders of provisional elementary, elementary B and other higher state certificates. Graduates of standard high schools who have not received professional credit may prepare themselves for the elementary certificates, class B. A majority of the members of the 1921 faculty will return for the coming session. Dr. J. Henry Hi'ghsmith, state high school in spector, will be a member of the teaching force this summer and will offer some special high school courses, and Miss Nona Deßerry; of the Salisbury schools, has been added to the faculty for piimary work due to the growth of this department. To date Dr. Withers has receiv ed nearly 150 more applications for reservations than at the cor responding date last year, when the total registration was 882, eighty-five' North Carolina coun ties, seven scates and three for eign countries being represented. This seems to indicate that the attendance this summer will set a new record. Dormitory space is being rapidly reserved, arid the director advixtfis tl, it the teachers send in their papers at once to avoid later diss ipointment. New *lte and Building* lor Higgftt Women's College For several years the present main building and several "an nexes" have proved too inade quate "to meet the demands of Meredith College in ltaleigh, the bijiKest women's College in the state. Hundreds of girls and their families will be interested in the statement that property has just been purchased for a site on which a great campus and splen did and larger buildings will be erected, to be occupied three years hence, at the fall session, vrp. It will be a millioft-dollar plant erected to accommodate five hun dred students on a hundred-and thirty-five-icre tract bought from the A-shby L Baker estate within a quarter of a mile of the city limits, comprising a part of the old Tucker estate. The new site, chosen from three under consideration, was decided upon unanimously at a meeting of the board of truatoes of the col- GRAHAM, N. C M THURSDAY. MAY 18, 1922 lege. Although a site on the Mor decai property northwest of Ral eigh and a site near the Country Club had their advocates, the minority gave way and made the vote for the Tucker property unanimous. The consideration is $60,000. Beginning at the hard-surface cross-roads a few hundred feet this side of Method, the line of the property runs north 4,100 feet and then on its northern boundary 2,G00 feet east towards Raleigh. The Southern boundary parallels the Cary road for 2.00U feet. The property thus comprises a rectangle of fint>ly wooded country; level, and according to the concensus of opinion on the boaad, ideally fitted for college purposes. There is a large spring and a natural depression which can bo formed into an artificial lake or swimming'topo^ Not before 1925fUowetver, can disposition by made of the pres ent institution and work com pleted on lue new.

The following is a s'atemenl and report by members, uf the sth and (itii grades, under Miss Marie len n>rigs, of Giuliani Graded School, of vegetable and flower gardens plant ed by her -pupils: List fall when we had so many bestuliful flowers in mir room and we were talking about our flower*, the question was asked why can't we all have II iwera like these? And after deciding that we cou'd do our level best in trying, Miss J ntdngs asked how many of us had gardens. You would be surpribed to know how many did not, even in the, fdmijies where theie were.boys who could at tend to their, even il their ui there aud fathers were in tbe mill all day. Tli re wuh only one person who did not. have any garden spaed. S i it was lust fall that we decided we \\i" * goi..g tn have gardens and !l i vrr . Karly this we HO' I catalogs and luuk them home to decide ui at we wanted to plant, and brought theni back tn Behool and made our rder for seed, then Miss Jennings wjote to our U. S. Jtep., Alaj. fete lui in in Washington, and asked if lie would send us seed foi tin- i!-.' children in our room who tta'it-d 10 plant gardens tlis reply was that he wished more schools would make the name request, and that he was sending the seed. Well when Walter brought the mail he ti ild us that the'U. S seed were at the 1' 0. They said that it was a "anight big bag," and as he had other packages to hiiug, he didn't bring-them. We wauted them, and every buy in the room wanted to go to the I'. 0. for them right then, hut Erwin Clapp was asked td go for I hem at recess. Imagine our sur prise when Erwin came in pulling and red-faced wi h a whole U. S. m ill nack of seed, full to the brim, and a,large bag at that Tho seed were both flower and gardeu such an VII i all have perhaps got from the U Department ol Agriculture. Tho UT XL thing was to get the soil ready to plant things.. We were vi ry much hindered i»y the rain, for just as soon as it would get nearly dry em ugh to plough, it would rain again, but with the exception of a veiv few we at last got them all planted and flowers started too. Mi-s Jennings had expected to see all the gardens twice, but as some of us live beyond Whjfe's Mill and others ou the Burliijgtbn Road and s>me beyond the R/R. Sta'i >r, and as it was late before a great many of UB could get them planted, it was no little job to inspect theui all and impossible to see them twice. The gardens are good, especially Elsie Boswell's and Iltbert Lin nins'. YoU should see them. It is in teresting to see the little spots that they have found available for lettuce and radishes besides the regular garden.

The Albemarle Observer's edi tor attended the American CottQn Association in 1920. "The dele gates were there," he saye, "to boost the price of cotton and fully "half of them had on silk shirte."- An Edenton lady writes an article in tbe Observer urging women to use cotton and quit using silft. She says: "There is one thing about the cotton business that I wish some of you editors .jvould talk, and talk, and keep talking about, nn til our Southern people wake up to conditions and change themj It is this: The amount of silk goods used for underclothes, by even comparatively poor girls, who say they are obliged to have silk things for "their skin is too sensitive to wear cotton, besides it is more economical to wear silk underclothes, as th»y are daint ier" It is not true. The daint iest of cotton can be made into the most beautiful of gar ments and it is a shame for our Southern women and girls to in sist on wearing silk to the exclu sion of the cotloi their awn farms are producing. "If the women of I he Southland would wear all of the cotton goods, use the pretty mercerized table clothes and doilies, there would be no such amount of surplus cotton and small prices. Whom do we expect to use .the cotton after it is manufactured if we ourselves do'not wane to use it? I must confess I grow tired of hearing the howl of hard times and no money, when each feminine being, nnd half the men must needs have "silk hosiery, silk clothes, silk shirtwaists, shirts, sllk-everything they can putou. Either 'put-up' (buy and use cottou grown on your own lands), or else 'shut up' (use the other fellow's silk), and take your poverty as pari of your owu mak -ing, is my opinion."
