Chief Justice Walter Clark administered the oath of office to Dr. Chase and he was formally inducted into office by Governor T. W.

On the stage when the new president was inaugurated were many notable men in educational lines, Secretary Josephus Daniels, of the United Staes navy, and other state and na Unna dienitaries. Thousands of students, alumni and visitors witnes sed the ceremony of inauguration. For the information of the readers of the News-Herald, we carry the following clipping from The Twin City Sentinel, relating to the his tory, life and character of the new State University president: Harry Woodburn Chase, who was today inaugurated president of the University of North Carolina, is a New Englander by family, birth, childhood, youth, training and edu cation, but a North Carolinian by adoption and by virtue of the fact that he has poured the best years of his life into the service of the state. He was born at Groveland, Mass., April 11, 1883, and is therefore just beyond his thirty-seventh birthday. He studied at Dartmouth and Clark University. From Dartmouth he re ceived his A. B. degree In 1904, and his A. M. degree in 1908. At Clark University his study centered in phil osophy, psychology and education. He was director of the Clark Univer sity clinic for sub-normal children, J909-10, and in June, 1910 he received his Ph. D. degree, being then 27 years old. The following September Dr. Chase entered the service of the University of North Carolina as profesor of philosophy of education and has been connected with the university since that time. In 1914 he became pro fesor of psychology; in October, 1918 acting dean of the college of liberal arts; in January 1919, chairman of the faculty and executive head of the institution; in June 1919 president of the university. It is the first time North Carolina has sought a univer sity president from south of the Ma son and Dixon's line since 1816, when Robert Hett Chapman, of New. Jer sey, became second president. President Chase's earlier profes sional work was closely conected with his chosen field of research and teach in?. He has made numerous inves tigations in educational psychology,! he has been a frequent contributor to ' educational ad philosoDhical mihlira.l tons, he has attracted attention with '"tings on such subjects as "The Ad olescent Imagination," "The Psychol ogy of Social Science," "Freud's Theories of the Unconscious," "The Inheritance of Acquired Modifications Behavior." He has been a mem ber of such learned societies as the American Psychological Association, we American Association for the Advancement of Science, the South society for Philosophy and Psycholo- Jt.-North Carolina his work ear ned him somewhat away from limited spheres of study into executive lead ip, more so as his executive abil y grew under added responsibility. on ,n the facu,tv committee wool.

The complete vote probably will not be available until late today as the missing rural districts are located in outlying sections. Seventy-four of the missing districts are counties re turning majorities for Wood in the incomplete returns. The Republican "big four" delega tion to the Chicago convention will be Senators Walter E. Edge and Joseph E. Frelinghuysen, who are pledged to support the voters' choice as expres sed at the primary; Edward C. Stokes and William N. Runyon, pledged to support Wood. Incomplete returns indicate that Wood will have 11 district delegates and Johnson 10. Three delegates are unpledged. William P. Verdon, a Republican leader in Hoboken and worker for Hi ram Johnson, would not add anything to his charge yesterday that the Cali fornia Senator had been "robbed" in at least three counties. Widespread reports that Senator Johnson's supporters would ask for a recount could not e confirmed today. Campaign managers for both Wood and Johnson reiterated claims that their state.

It is no uncommon sight, said, to find an automobile on one side of the road with lights darkened. The judge stated that he could name one man whom he had seen in an auto at night under suspicious cir cumstances, a man whose name would be recognized by every man, woman , and child in the courtroom because of his prominence. Questionable automobile parties are not confined to the roads of the coun ty, but as the night advances, he de clared, it is possible to see such par ties on city streets. He declared that it was the duty of candidates would carry the every citizen of the county to report mum salary of $1,400. The petition has been sent out preliminary to the meeting of the city school board Wed nesday afternoon. Twenty teachers of the Raleigh publij school force have already re signed and others, the petition states, will be under the necessity of taking similar action unless the maximum suggested is fixed by the Raleigh board. A recent canvass of the teach ing force of Raleigh showed that over 98 per cent of the teashcrs were either getting financial asaiotance from their home people or were do ing extra work to meet their neces sary expenses.

The judge also spoke of the reck less auto drivers, saying that the ne cessary steps must be taken to check them in their reckleness and said that those who insisted in taking the road to themselves must be brought-., into the criminal courts and dealt with such severity as to deter them from their dangerous practices.He said that many auto drivers are so reck less in their driving over the public highways as 'to endanger, not only their own lives, but the lives of such others as might happen to be on the roads at the same time as they. GOT IN BAD. Unanimous Petition. The petition, submitted by a com mittee composed of Miss Frances Lacy, Miss Kate Graham and Miss Elizabeth Wilson, bears the signa ture of every white teacher employed in tha Raleigh public schools. The petition reads as follows: "To the Raleigh Township School Committee. "Gentlemen: The undersigned teachers in the public schools of Ral eigh Towship respectfully petition that teachers' salaries for the ensu ing ear shall be based upon the State's classification with a maxi- I mum salary of $1,400. In making this petition, we call attention to the I following conditions and circum I stances: they used side tracks. The Ejeco-File company was en gaged in the manufacture of filing cabinets, victrolas, phonographs and cabinets for phonograph records. Ev ery piece of machinery was destroy ed. It was impossible for the firemen to secure any direct pressure in fight ing the flames owing to the distance of the building from the neargest wa ter hydrant. A long line of hose was strung. Several freight cars and a large quantity of lumber were saved as a result of the efforts of the fire men. The fire was one of the largest that has visited High Point in a num ber of years and when a full report is ascertained, it is thought by a com pany official that the loss will reach $200,000.

We expect tomorrow tj be one of the red letter day in Albe marle business circles. In this connection, also allow us to advise that all customers expecting to take advantage of the special bar gain offers come this afternoon and early tomorrow morning, as the af ternoon will be certainly rushed and it may be impossible for you to get the same attention that you would receive at these stores if you get here in the early morning. Clerks are scarce, you know, and the ability of each one is certainly limited as well as with other workers.
