SOMEONE'S VISION REALIZING.
The quality, the success of, and the enthusiasm manifested in the state
inter-high school championship contests in debate, football, basketball,
baseball, tennis, and track is a tribute to the vision of the man that first
conceived them, and an ever-increasing volume of praise to the man who
had the courage to initiate the contests, and the ability to continue to pro
mote and administer them successfully. Whether the original impulse was to
increase the University's sphere of service and influence, or whether it was
to lift the standard of high school life through interest stimulated by the
measuring of talents, matters not. The fact is, all those impulses are re
alizing in the contests that the Bureau of Extension has been carrying on
despite the handicaps of war-time, and post-war upheavals and promise to
continue to blossom out with a new vigor and freshness in the spring con
tests that will live up to the standard of the playing done in the football
contest of the fall between the Chapel Hill and Monroe teams. , 7' "''' ,
The football game would have done credit to many of the southern
colleges, and in the opinion of many outclassed college games that have been
played on Emerson field. Seven or eight years ago the fondest dreamer
would not have hoped for a demonstration of high school football that was
seen on Emerson field between these two teams representing the East and
the West, and which was only the climax of many equally hard fought games
that had been going on in the state. ' .'.'
From the interest already shown it is reasonable to expect that the
spring contests will be of the same high quality..
Of course, to say that the efforts of the University are alone responsible
for the rising standard of high school contests would be an exaggeratidn
that ignores the whole trend of growth in North Carolina life. And the
University is not so much interested in claiming her share of the work that
has been going on as she is in rejoicing in the consciousness that with every
bit of improvement in high school standards comes an equal improvement
in the standards of the University, for these high schools are practically
the complete source for University students. And the University must in
evitably start where the high schools leave off.
In athletics it means that soon the college and university teams of thij
South can be raised because of the contribution of the high schools, and
that southern teams will be on a parity with those of the north. Many a
man who has won fame on a southern gridiron in recent seasons never saw
a football before he entered college, whereas the northern teams draw raw
recruits from high school teams that have been trained already to a high
degree. There will be no reason for us to look at a northern team as un
conquerable because they are on a higher plane, if the high schools of the
state continue to raise the standard of their athletic teams as they have
during the past few years under the impulse of the championship contests
and to feed to the University men who are already thoroughly trained in the
several sports.
CHAPEL SEATS.
The Tar Heel would like to bring especially to the attention of the
Btudent body the announcement mad by Dean Bradshaw in chapel a few
days since to the effect that the first ten rows of seats in the bacK of the
ground floor of Gerrard Hall are now -open. The freshmen previously oc
cupying these have been moved upstairs. These seats are for the use of
those upper-classmen who have been coming to chapel and standing in the
rear, and to provide room for those who have been kept away on account
of lack of room. We especially urge men to develop the "chapel going
habit, for this is the most direct way to stay in touch with the coming
campus events. If you can't go, see that one of your associates-from your
floor in the dormitory, from your fraternity, or from your table-goes and
he can keep you in touch with things.

men's Association of Chapel Hill at a
meeting held Sunday unanimously
endorsed the twenty million dollar
appropriations for State Institutions,
The meeting was held Sunday after
noon at the home of Miss Mary

example of the interest that the wo
men of North Carolina, with their
organizations are taking in the fight
for higher education.

17 in the New East building.
The freight depot of Chapel Hill
station will remain open all day Sat
urday instead of until 1 o'clock as
has been the custom previous to this
announcement. Considerable incon
venience in the moving of freight
has been occasioned by the early
Saturday closing hour of the local
freight depot, and the change comes
as the result of an order from the
freight commission that all' freight
depots remain open all day on Saturday.
Tuesday . night "Carrboro Fast
Mail,", rounding a curve' between
University Station and Carrboro at
a terrific rate of speed, was derailed.
Only the last car was completely off
the' track, but this caused a delay of
several hours and the mail arrived
too late for the nightly letter to be
"put up." No one was injured. The
accident is thought to have been due
to spreading? rails. - .
; On the evening of February 22, !
the Clio Literary Society will give
their annual entertainment. This
year they - will present, a patriotic
play, "Nathan Hale."
There is a movement on foot at

ject in which an average of 80 per
cent has been made during the entire
semester. This movement has been
approved and passed by the student
Council and is now in the hands of
the faculty.
