ENROLLMENT Louisburg College Has Ap proximately Three Hund red Enrolled; .Adds New' Courses and Enlarges Faculty * (Special to Times) With the largest enrollment In ltB history and with its prospects j for the future brighter than they ever have been, Louisburg Col lege formally inaugurated its one I hundred and thlrty-tourth session J ot\ Thursday of the past week. I The enrollment of the College is, approximately 300 which repre sents a 15 per cent Increase over the- 275 enrolled during the paBt J year. Outstanding among the new features this year are the new courses in industrial arts and vo cational agriculture. The Indus trial arts course is entirely new and will be directed by Prof. Til- ! man Lockard, who comes from the Eastern Illinois Teachers' ' College and who recently was president of the Epsilon PI Tau, national honorary fraternity In | industrial arts and vocational education. Courses In Industrial arts are quite new to Southern colleges, especially among the smaller in- < Btitutions and Louisburg College is a pioneer In this field In this i State. These courses come as a response to a long-felt need that j the student ought to be taught how to use his hand and his eye as well as Us heart, mind and ' voice. Both the course in Industrial arts and In agriculture are being fully credited by N. C. State Col- j lege and are being given along the same general lines as at N. C. State. The agriculture courses covers the first two years, and the graduate can etttejf "the third year just the tame as If he had taken his first two years at N. C. State. Inaugurated a few years ago and now on a successful basis, the student self-help plan will be continued this year and on a new | and enlarged basis. Virtually all Louisburg College students now have "duty work" to do as a re gular part of their curricular set up, the theory behind the system being that if a student has re sponsibilites to attend to and does the Job well and if he learns the meaning of ihoney and work he has had a type of training as valuable as that which he obtains from the regular academic cour New Faculty Members Additions to and changes In the faculty number over halt a dozen for the present year. There are new Instructors In music, expres sion, voice, social science, athle tics and physical education, home economics and industrial arts. David C. March, the new head coach and physical education di rector for men, comes from Pur doe University where he KM Just completed his M. A. degree and where for the past year he was assistant coach In football, basket ball and baseball. The new instructor In Industri al arts. TUman Lockard. has been mentioned above. He was at the head of his class during the past year In Industrial arts and was the first man of his class to obtain a position for the present school season. Two other new faculty mem bers are Prof, and Mrs. I. D. Moon, both of whom are from Asbury College, Kentucky. Prof. Moon is instructor in voice and Mrs. Moon Is instructor In home economics. At Asbury College Prof. Moon was teacher in voice and director of the ensemble groups while Mrs. Moon has had extensive experience In teaching home economics In the State of Kansas. Mrs. Bessie B. Bradshaw will be the new nurse and housekeep er, and comes to Loulsburg Col lege with degrees from Quenns Chlcora College and with post graduate work at Winthrop Col lege and the Woman's College of the University of North Carolina. Miss Mary Finch, of Rustburg, Va., is the new head of the piano department. Miss Finch comes from the Eastman School of Music of the University of Rochester where she was graduated with dis tinction with the bachelor of music degree. Miss Martha Auten, of Charlot te, is the new instructor in expres sion and English. Miss Auten has the A. B. degree from Greensboro College. Dallas Malllson, until recently connected with Atlantic Christian College in Wilson, Is the new in structor In social science and will also, act as publlcty director. He has the A. B. degree (from Atlan tic Christian, the M. 8. degree from N. C. State, and has had Cotton Picking Machine in Impressive ~^ryout | JACKSON. Miss. . . . Dm ply concerned with the futureet cotton, many cotton met. of Importance were at Stonevtlle, Miss., last week to fitness the performance of John and Hack Rust's cotton picking machine in operation. ... In less than an hour the machine picked more cotton than a handplcker could father In a day. The principal shortcoming of the machine was that It gathered twigs and unripe ootton and alio stained lomi of the cotton Nor ft It at ret adapted to hilly and uneven fields. two years of work toward his Ph. D. at Cornell University. All of these new men and wo men of the faculty come well re commended and they have hid practical experience In their re spective fields. President Wilcox has announced that they were selected with great care from a mong a large list of applicants and that they were chosen In line with his policy of building up a strong and valuable faculty. < 'on vocation Kxrrrl?r" The College was formally open- < cd last Thursday morning at ten o'clock at the local Methodist I Church. Dr. Wilcox presided over the cermonlea, at which represen tative cltisens of Loulsburg. mem bers of the Board .of Trustees. North Carolina educators and loc al ministers made short addresses. The main addresses were made by W. C. Webb. Mayor of Louis burg; W. R. Mills, supfe-lntendejt of the Franklin County schools; E. H. Malone. secretary of the board oftrustees and attorney for , the College. Ministers taking part , in the exercises were Dr. O. P. : FltzOerald, pastor of the local ! Methodist church, and the Rt. Rev. F. E. Pulley, rector of the Louls burg Episcopal Church. The keynote of the opening was struck by President Wilcox who , said that "education Is adjust ment and if you can't adjust to people, situations, and events you aren't educated," and by Malone who said that "The only hope In a democracy today .la education." -"The whole world has taken on a Leftist trend. There seems to be | a general tendency to tear things apart," declared Malone, who in this connection further stated that "the purpose of education Is to discriminate between the real and the unreal, the true and the false." He connscled the students to "take on the new but hold fast to that which is good In the old. Remember that happiness comes from within, not from without. Remember, too, that you are building memories every day and that life is as much today as to morrow." College To Publish Paper Loulsburg CoHege students will publish a newspaper this year.

Thomas Wilson) New York, Sept. 16.? The vot ing peak in the nation-wide presi dential poll, now being conducted by more than 3,000 weekly news papers, appears to be nearing as thousands of ballots poured lnta national straw-vote ^headquarters here at, the end of the 4 th week. Voting during the fourth week developed slight tightening of lines along some fronts, but not of enough importance to bring about startling changes of states for respective candidates. The ex ceptions were, President Roose velt regaining a lead over Gover nor Landon in Ohio, and, in Cali fornia, where Landon took a slight lead over RooseveK. Scattered returns from 7 states, which heretofore have been car ried in the nation-wide, state by state tabulations, are not includ ed in the fourth week totals, pre sented this week. The ballots from those 7 states were so few in num ber that those in charge pf the poll decided not to continue pub lishing them until representative returns are available. The seven states not Included this week are: Arkansas, Delaware. Georgia, Mississippi, Nevada, isew Mexico and Vermont. All Candidate*. 3(1 States Returns from 36 states, at the close of tbe fourth week of ballot ing, totaled 450.116 votes. They disclose the following standing of the candidates at this time: Landon 267,725 59.5% Roosevelt 153,094 34.0% Lemke 21,326 04.0% Thomas 3.638 .8% Colvin 1,531 .3% Browder 2,802 .6% 450,116 100.% Oovernor Landon,. Republican Presidential nominee, maintains a lead in 29 of the 36 states. Those states are. California, Col orado, Connecticut, Illinois. Indi ana. Iowa, Kansas. Kentucky, Maine, Maryland. Massachusetts, Michigan, Mlnesota. Missouri, Montana, Nebraska. New Hamp shire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Ten nessee, Virginia. Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin. In four states, California, Minnesota. Montana and Nebraska, tbe Lan don leads are small. The seven states in which Pre sident Roosevelt leads are: Ala bama, Florida, Idaho, North Car olina, Ohio, Texas, and Utah. The Roosevelt lead In Idaho Is based upon sparse returns only. The Leaders' Standings The vote for Congressman Wm. Lemke, Union Party Presidential candidate, maintains approximate ly the same volume each week but despite certain state strong holds fails to gain on the leaders. Total returns at the close of the 4th week of state by state tabula tions, as bet-ween Landon. Roose velt and Lemke, are as follows: Landon 267,725 60.6% Roosevelt 153, 0^4 34.6 Lemke 21,326 4.8 *42,145 100.% In the new alignment of returns from the 36 states only, as be tween Landon -*od Roosevelt, to tals at the close of the 4th week show: Landon 267.725 63.6% Roosevelt 153,094 36.4 420,819 100.% The avalanche of ballots now arriving at straw-vote headquar ters here at Publishers Autocaster Services offices, Indicate that a truly representative vote of small town and rural America presiden tial sentiment will be available at the concloslon of this nation-wide country weekly newspaper poll. The 5th week returns, now be ing tabulated, should furnish some Interesting figures for early spec ulations on the outcome of the November election. Still Time To Vote If the readers of the FRANK LIN TIMES have not yet voted in this nation-wide presidential poll, we suggest they do so by clipping the ballot which is printed else where of this Issue, vote for their favorite candidate, then mall or bring the ballot to our offices. Voters are not required to sign their names on the ballot. Write only the name.of the town and the state wherein you expect to vote at the November election. This identification of ballot Is to assist in the national state by state tabulations at straw vota headquarters in New York. We also suggest that readers vote at once because sodn now the poll will be brought to a close and if your favorite presidential can didate is not getting necessary votes in thil territory, this Is your opportunity to help' show his strength with voter* here.
