Last commencement they sent Dr. V. II. Atkinson to Chapel Hill to present their proposition before the re union of alumni here at that time. The plans were endorsed by the General As staibly and a committee of alumni was appointed to take up the proposition. Dr. Atkinson; wb made chairman of the committee composed of himself, Dr. A. II. Patterson of the University faculty and Mr. Leslie Weil of Goldsboro. This work on the part of the Wash ington alumni is highly significant of the interest taken in the University by these men who reside in the nation's cap ital. There are about 140 members in the Washington chapter. Secretary of ' the General Alumni Association Daniel L. Grant plans to meet -with the alumni of Washington nt their meeting.

Hut it is not always the man with the highest intelligence that makes the greatest success in life; sometimes highly intellectual man is handicapped by personality or oertuin character traits or emotions, therefore the necessity for the einjiicnal and character traits test. The emotional test used was the I'ressey X-O- test. It consists of four lists of words that tend to arouse the emotions, either pleasant or unpleasant. The freshmen were required to mark the wolds that gave pleasant sensations, and then mark tha word which gave the most unpleasant sensation. In this way the psychologist can tell whether a person is hit rocon verted of extroconverted that is, whether he is self-centered and sensi tive, or studies the world outside of him self and adapts himself to it. The third paut of the test, the test of character traits, was twenty-four traits of personality such as : sensitiveness, common sense, diligence, integrity, etc., arranged in pairs. These pairs were words that are exactly opposite, such as mdustriousness and laziness ; the freshmen were required to grade them selves on these traits. In order to see how accurately the men judged them selves, fifteen of these blanks will be sent to persons of the acquaintance of each of the freshmen, and the average will he taken from these results. This test is new and under experimentation ; it cannot be stated positively that it will prove accurate, hut after much use it will be possible to get a general esti mate by it. These tests are carried out for experi mentation, to find out the status of the freshman class and to be able to in struct them better and handle them bet ter. These tests will be continued in the future. (From Progressive Farmer) In those sections of the South where people are agitating for political elections of county superintendents of schools, it will be well for interested persons to heed a warning from an actual toting out of the plan in Texas. The stale superintendent of education there in the discussion of this question says: "Little hope can be entertained of securing for the majority of our rural schools the best possible supervision, so long as county superintendents are elect ed by popular vote. Men and women of the highest talent aud attainments, as a rule, will not seek a position, the ten ure of which is only two years, and which entails biennially an arduous and expensive political campaign. While ap parently the people choose the county superintendents, in reality they have little freedom of choice. Too often they are limited in selection to the right of taking one of two equally incompetent persons, one of whom must be elected because only two candidates have offer ed themselves. "The country child has a right to the advantage of the same method of select ing a .superintendent as that followed in cities. Who would advocate the choice of a city superintendent by the vote of the people of the city? A large body of voters cau not collectively examine into the qualifications of applicants for school positions and form a judgment of their qualifications. But they can delegate to a small group the authority to perform this duty. Therefore, the county superintendent should be chosen by the county board of trustees. Since the great mass of county teachers are young and inexperienced, and obtain in the rural schools the practice which qualifies . them for better positions, it follows that the rural schools have even mors Deei than have those of the city. if competent, trained superintendents, who can guide and iuspipre the young teachers aud who can encourage them to continue study and effort as improve ment." For ordinary administrative positions in our government it is about enough to know that a man has character and ability, and such offices may well be left to popular vote. In nil positions where technical knowledge and ability are required, however, it is impossible to get the best men by making the of fices elective. The best men in agricul tural, health, and educational work have positions offered them and do not have to engage in a political scramble to get jobs nor will they do so. Consequent ly, as is well said in the sentences quoted above,' the people are not really permit ted to choose the best men for such ol!iu?s when sucli offices are made elective because too often only second-rate men compete for such nominations. County health officers, county demon- si ration agents, and county superintend ents of education should always be select ed by competent boards who have the time and the power to go out aud draft the best available persons for each type of work, and to find out all about the training, experience, ability, character, and effectiveness of each person consid ered. And in most cases it will be found that somebody who already has a job and is satisfied with it is best qualified for the place, and not some job-seeker. On the other hand, under the system of elect ing officials for agricultural, educational and health work, it will frequently be the man whose lack of ability has kept him from getting a good job who will be the most eager and active candidate, and possibly the most successful in the cheap arts of the politician. We ought always to keep agricultural, educational, health, and road work out of politics. : '-' :: . S ' . :: 1 ' : y. - v. : ; X The MAN 'Store EVEEYTHING THAT'S GOOD IH GOOD CLOTHES ASHEVILLE, N.

THE AGE OF FLIVALRY (From The Humming Bird) They say the bold Sir Galahad rode proudly forth to battle, a flivver full of chivalry aud a smile with every rattle. He had a jug of monkey-rum beside him in the rig, and as he passed each mile post by, Sir Galahad a swig. He took the steepest hills on high ; he rent the towns iu twain, while speed-cops by the dozens were following iu his train. They swore by old Saint Nick to get his number or to bust : but all those speed ing coppers got was lots of scent and dust. For yonder, in the murky tarn, mid many a fen and bramble, a wicked dragon slew each soul who chanced that way to ramble; and if Sir Knight should slay this monster in his slimy lair, he'd get a pass to take his Jane to see the county foir. O! 'Twas a task to test the nerve of knight with less ambition ! But what cared he for dragon claws? He had such ammunition ! Pie had a peck of hand-grenades, a brace of gat-ling-guns, a sling-shot and a battle-axe, captured from the Huns. But last and best he hud his jug of good old mountain dew. It beaded well and had a smell like bug-juice ought to do. Quoth Gala had : "And just so long as my flagon don't run dry, I'll beard this monster in his den! I'll make this dragon fly!" So on aud on they ambled, his jitney bus and he ; the former squeaked and groaned and wailed ; the latter sand with glee. They skipped along on asphalt road ; they skimmed past wild detours ; they climbed a rusty barbed-wire fence and jumped a dozen sewers, until they came at eventide to a jungle dense and matted, where noxious vines and poison ous herbs were intertwined and platted. He heard the monster's hideous snorts ; lie smelled its fetid breath. He took another swig and cried, "For liberty or death!" ' He turned his Lizzie toward the brake; he crashed through fens and fangles , the brambles brushed "his armor-plate and scratched his glittering spangles. He parked his Lizzie 'neath the trees and seized a gatling-gun ; the dragon came with claws outstretched, and the battle was begun. He fired a clip of smokeless shells, but the firing was in vain ; the shots bounded off the monster's hide like drops of gentle rain. The dragou jumped and danced 'about, and chuckled in his glee; he must have thought that he would have a sweet good night for tea. Seized Gal ahad his sling-shot, and he slung a slug or. two, but his name wasn't David and he saw that wouldn't do. Next he seized his battle-axe and swung it through the air, but the dragon kept a-waggin', so he didn't harm a hair. And his hand grenades were useless : he hurled them all with speed, but the dragon snapped them up with zest, and swallowed them with greed. And when the things ex ploded within the monster's belly, he laughed and scratched his horny sides, and shook like orunge jelly. Now what was bold Sir Knight to do? His fight had been in vain; but his trusty Liz had brought him there 'twould take him back again. He gave a yauk upon the crank and sprang into the scat; if he couldn't beat the dragon he could beat a safe retreat. The fliv ver groaned and reeled and rocked, and spluttered , well apace ; and then she skipped a lick or two 'twas running out of gas! For Galahadn't stopped for gas at the corner filling station : like all the rest, he thought his car would run on reputation. "What went with all the gas?" cried out this bold procrastinator. With dying wheeze his Liz replied, "I guess the carburate'er." And all the while the dragon came clos ing in behind, and cried, "Outrun me if you can 1 m kin to Billy Bryan. And now the bold Sir Galahad was filled with consternation; in all his clays he'd never faced so stern a situation. One moment sat he motionless one moment he was blank and then he seized his' jug of booze and poured it in the tank. You should have seen that flivver jump, and watched the way she speeded ; I'm sure that little nip of booze was just what Lizzie needed. And she had always seemed to be a right good natured floozy, but her strength was as the strength of ten whene'er her breath was boozy. Her pistons bummed a boozy tune ; her fly wheel flew away, I Durham Shoe Shine Parlor l WE SHINE SHOES FOR CAROLINA BOYS LIKE MANY ATHLETIC COACHES BOB FETZEE IS SUPEESTITIOUS (Continued from page one) ager of the team, felt the need of a dope, and started to go over to a nearby stand. But before he had gone two steps Bill was at his side and forced him back on the bench. "Sit tight when you go on his bench." Anyone who has attended the base ball games in Chapel Hill cannot fail to remember having seen a little nigger Rastus on the bench. He is kept there by Bill for the pinches. In the event of a tie and a needed hit the batsman always spits on his bat and immediately rubs it over Rastus' head. The results are wonderful. Last year it broke up the Trinity game, and the year before the State Championship game The Side of Bob the Public Doesn't See There is one side of Bob Fetzer that the public doesn't see. It is the veteran coach sitting by his fireside reading Shakespeare or Kipling, or bending over the retorts in the University laboratory in an effort to discover some new gas, or in his lighter moments pouring over Motor Life with the enthusiasm of a boy. Before he began coaching he worked as a chemist, and he was just as good in this line as in turning out teams. He worked for the Southern Cotton Oil Com pany. Two cups show the kind of ser vice meted out by him to his employers when he was a District Chemist for this company. During the war he assisted the chem istry department of the government. The Southern Cotton Oil Company re cently tried to engage him as Head of the New Orleans Laboratory. Bill the Silent Bill's the hardest one to make talk. Sometime ago Eddie Brietz wired him for an all state football team. But Bill wasn't putting out. He attended Davidson College for two years 'and then entered professional baseball. He began his coaching career at Fisliburne iu 1005 and has been at it ever since. How They Divide the Work On the football field, Bob has charge of the line and Bill the bnckfield. Bob works up the plays and Bill puts them across to the team, with modifications sometimes. Who hns charge of things during the game is not known, but Bob is supposed to make most of the sub stitutions. Bob is now Director of Athletics, as sociate coach of football and head coach of track. Bil is coach of football and head coach of baseball. Zuppke Asks Bob to Write Book While in attendance at the coaches training school last summer, Zuppke knowing his reputation both as a coach and scholar, asked him to write a book on football. Zuppke is head coach of football and director . of uthletics at the University of Illinois and is recognized as one of the teu best coaches in the country. ' GmP M'?.j mu m. r mi HI 7.'

Meanwhile, the dragon still pursued, his nostrils wide distended, till suddenly he wailed in pain, as if he were offended ; he wept and wiped his bleary eyes as if his heart would break, then cried, "That isn't like the smell my mother used to make." But Sir Knight couldn't wait to hear what 'twas the dragon said, he scarce had time to fill his jug be fore he went to bed. Next day the farmers passing by were much amazed to see a dragon stretched beside the road, as dead as dead could be: while up above, in dragon heaven or call it what you choose the dragon's soul was singing the "Wood Alcoholic Blues."
