EDUCATOR Relates Birth anff Development Of Educational Constitution. Mr. A. T. Allen, Superintendent of the North Carolina Board of Education, delivered an address at a joint meeting of the Murphey Club and the N. C. Ed ucation Association Wednesday nigm In Penbodv auditorium. Mr. Allen spoke on the "Reorganization of High Schools." Mr. Hampton, Introducing me sneaker, stated that Mr. Allen had had expert advice and consultation, and ask ed that the clubs co-operate with mm in his work. Mr. Allen, in the beginning, related the birth and development of our edu , cational constitution. His speech, in part runs as follows: "Before 1908 there were only rural elementary schools, which were open only ten or twelve weeks of each year. This condi tion existed (until 1905 when the General Assembly passed a measure providing for high schools. In 1907 Mr. Walker, vour own Dean of the School of Edu- cation, was put in charge, and his work is a monument enough for any man. "I think the county 'should furnish a high school with a six months' term to all capable of taking instruction in the schools. This thmg must be done on a uniform basis and all must be pro vided for. Durine rapid growth nobody has eiven much time to high school or ganization. , More attention ought to be given to administration, curricula, ana inside training. "A thorough survey of the high school svfitem in North Carolina has been made, and the tabulation, which is based on facts, deals , with certain phases nf work concerning subjects of fered, assignment of work to teachers, and single or combination wort aone oy teachers. The survey shows that the present high school is not efficient for these reasons: too much work is oiterea in one-tenrher hisrh schools: toofmany units are offered in small high schools; teachers are required to teach in too many fields: and teachers are not em ployed to work in the line of their prep aration. The present system is not economical, because some classes have too few students in them. "My outline of the purpose of reor ganization Is as follows: to enable the Tar Babies Beat Virginia 13 to 0 The Carolina Freshman team overwhelmed the University of Virginia first-year men in Char lottesville yesterday by the score of 13 to 0.

INVESTIGATES LIBRARIES Impressed With Amount of Work Done By University Library. Mr. Frederick Mecher. aMnaging- editor of the Publisher' Weekly of New York City, and a resident of Mont- clair N. J., was in Chapel Hill Thurs day. Mr. Melcher has been in the book busi ness, from all angles, for thirty .years. He has been a book-seller, book-manufacturer: and , magazine editor. The principal purpose of his work on the Publisher' Weekly is, to use his own words, "to keen books moving.'1-' His position is such as to make him one of the leading authorities in the country on the distirbution of books. mv Mplpher knows most of the writers qf both America and Europe, 'and he possesses a very interesting collection of first editions and autographed copies, particularly of American poetry. He is making a ten day tour of va rious southern states to investigate Southern book-stories and libraries. He ,is flndine conditions much better than formerly, since people are becoming more interested in buying books. New book stores in Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and Charlotte received favorable com ment from him. He considers that they are doing a real service in the state m Melcher was here one day, Thurs day, and during his stay on the campus he met manv of the men interested in books and book publishing. He visited the University Library and was very mrh impressed by the size of the work that it is carrying on. He considered the development of the University press ia vorhle. and was interested in the ac tivities of the Extension division in cir- lutinc books in the state. Thnrsdov moraine he spoke to ur. Hibbard's class of English '21 on the subject of "The Making and Distribu tion of Books."

MUSIC CONCERT HERE TOMORROW Miss Rosa- Warren, Durham Soprano, Will Sing. MR. AND MRS McCORKLE Large Number from Chapel Hill and Durham Expected to Attend. Tomorrow afternoon at four o'clock, Hn Mnnri nnmher of the series of Sun day concerts being given under the aus pices of the music department will be presented in Memorial Hall. An especial feature of this entertain ment will be the re-appearance of Miss Rosa Warren, popular Durham soprano. Miss Warren, who is considered the best soprano in Durham won much praise here five years ago .when she il lustrated the folk-music lecture of Dr. Frank Brown of the English depart ment of Duke University. Ever since that engagement the officers of the mu sic department here have endeavored to secure Miss Warren for another appear ance. However, other arrangements have made such attempts unsuccessful. Miss Warren will be accompanied at the piano by Paul John Weaver, versatile and able University musician. Another delightful feature of the program will be a Beethoven sonata in four movements by Mr. and Mrs. T. Smith McCorkle. The former, who is also a University director of music, arid Mrs. McCorkle are very well known as unusually talented violinists. The tech nique and fine understanding of mu sic which Mr. Weaver and they dis played in the concert of last month has talents of the trio. Music lovers of Chapel Hill are in deed fortunate to have the opportunity of attending 'these Sunday programs. Many Durham people will come over for this feature attraction. The appear ances of Miss Warren have attracted much attention throughout the' state. Sinee her visit to the Hill with Dr. Rrown. the gifted soprano has filled many important engagements through out the state. Her return to the Hill for this occasion is expected to draw a large attendance Sunday afternoon. A fair opinion of the quality of the con cert mayJ be gained . from consideration of the program, which is divided into three parts:' "Awake, My Heart, to Gladness" by Densmore. "The Wind" Spross. "Danny Boy" Old Irish Song. "A Sprinir Fancy" Densmore. The above numbers will be rendered by Miss Warren accompanied by Mr. Weaver. The following will be rendered by Mr and Mrs. McCorkle: "Sonata for Violin and Piano, 24' Beethoven. a. "Allegro." b. "Adagio Molto Expressivo." e. '"Scherzo". (Allegro Molto). d.

Period of Silence Begins On Monday at Midnight The Period of Silence, innovation of I the newly adopted rushing system, will begin at midnight Monday when the Old South Bell tolls. At the first stroke of the bell fraternity representatives and rushees must part company.

"-""1' o old men rooming with men expecting bids to move out, and the posting of a hundrer dollar bond as a guarantee of nnd faith is regarded as a mere torm ality. The real thing at stake is not the hundred dollars, but the nonor. Fraternities are beseiging rushees with applications for the final two hours Monday night. The last minute penoa is regarded by many; as the key to success and the "sweet talking" that will take place Monday night between 10 o'clock and the first stroke of the bell in Old South will probably not have been equalled by any such pouring forth of heart and soul since the day that General Davie tied his horse to a little sprig of a poplar in the middle of the campus. Despite the prevalence of mid-term examinations a great migration from the hill is taking place during this week end and trips to beautiful homes, rides in handsome cars, visits to pretty girls, and football games and dances compose the proeram. Rushing is being carnea to foreign fields. If a prize freshman leaves the Hill to escape the rush, the rush persists in following him. If he remains to brave the storm, tne siorm attempts to get the jump on its rival nvrlnnea bv sniritinc him away to a more favorable peaceful stronghold. It is rumored that Virginia speed cops will do big business this week-end if they are on the watch. Monday night it will all be over, all but the rejoicing and the weeping. The increased epidemic of cut-throating and stabbing that is gracing the last days of the 1925 hunting season will soon end and the campus will soon settle again to a state of fagged-out normalcy. liu Bybon White After lookiiiK around, up and down, a co-ed asked the clerk in Foister's yes- terdav mornine. "Where is that wonder ful orchestra that I hear? It's the best I've ever heard." But the sharply ac cented strains of the latest fox trot hit, "Red Hot Henry Brown," were not be fnir nlavcd ' in ' person by Paul White- man's. Bus Orchestra, even though the best of music critics would have said so. Thev were present, all right ; but hid from the public gaze by the cabinet of a literally new and Wonderful phonograph the Orthophonic Victrola. Webster's Dictionary defines "ortho- phonic" as "correct articulation, ' which means havinc exact and scientific acous tic properties. With a radical departure in the stvle of the tone arm, the norn, and the records the new product of the Victor Compuny differs in rendition from the accepted design in reproducing ma chines as much as a childish crayon sketch differs, from the rich, deep colors of the world's greatest palfiting, Michel anirelo's "The. Last Judgement. The fruits of years of labor by scien tific research workers to build a phono- craph which would present not repro duce -all the various types of music for hwers of music the world over were shown at a special pre-sale demonstra tion to a few members of the Tab Heel staff yesterday. The reproduction chamber of the new machine varies from one 20 inches long in the smallest model to one 72 inches lnnir in the larirest. It is constructed like that used in a rare Stradivarius. The flawlessly molded tone arm is so per feet that no . "metallic'', rasping is ever audible. The' new phonograph, in truth, brings the artist though unseen into the room with the audience. ' In Tschaikowsky's "Marclic Slave, ulaved bv the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra, the comparison between the old and the new Victor Instrument is amazing. With the old Victrola the brass instrument of this orchestra, when the piece is played with a full tone needle, sounded cheap and blaring. With the new. the music flows out of the instru mcnt in full, deep and sonorous harmony. The parts taken by the big horns and (Continued on page four) The Tar Heels left last night for Bal-' time where they met the University of Marylund grid warriors today. The game, which was scheduled for the Old Liners 'own field at College Park, has been moved to the big Municipal Sta dium at Baltimore in order to care for the large crowds that are expected to witness the contest. r It was a badly crippled team of Tar Heels that left the "Hill" last night, but they went with a determination to give the Old Liners a real fight. The odds favor the Maryland aggregation due to the flock of Carolina backs out of the game with injuries, but the Mary landers will know they have been in a game. If the Tar Heels play hard and well and lose there will be no criticism from the students) rather praise for the fighting spirit of the reserves. A jinx has been camping on the trail of the Fetzers all this year dealing out blows to the Tar Heels in the form of injuries to the backfield men. Bunn : Hackney was the first to fall out, suf fering a fractured vertebra in practice before the season opened. Then Billy Devin was lost just before the South Carolina game with a case of boils and blood poison.' . ; ' The Duke name was costly because it cost the Tar Heels the services of "Rab bit Bonner, speedy halfback whose wrist was broken in that contest. Ferrell and Shuford, halfback and fullback, sus tained leg injuries in the Mercer game, . and as a final blow Jeff Fordham suf fered a broken ankle in scrimmage on Tuesday of this week. All these injuries have accumulated and piled up on the Fctaerites at one time, and now they face the Old Liners with six first string backs on the hospital list.. Coaches Bob and Bill Fetzer are faced with a problem that would try the football knowledge of even Knute Rocknc, Notre Dame's miracle coach. They must fill the shoes of these backs and send an attacking force on the field today that can hold its own with one of the strongest teams in the South At lantic states, for Maryland in spite of its losses to V. P. I. and Virginia has a strong aggregation. Just who will start the game in the backfield for the Tar Heels is a matter of guesswork, but from the way the team has lined up in the past few days' practices the Carolina coaches will prob ably start Sparrow at quarterback, Young and Underwood at halfbacks, and Jenkins at fullback.

POPULAR COMEDY HERE WEDNESDAY "Two Fellows and a 'Girl" Is Broadway Success. LONG RUN IN NEW YORK Splendid Cast of. Actors Coached for the Redpath Bureau. Never did George M. Cohan, Ameri ca's playwright and actor-manager, give to the public a more popular or pleasing Comedy than "Two Fellows and a Girl." This Broadway comedy-success will be presented here Wednesday evening, November 4, on the local Ly ceum course by a splendid cast of New York actors organized and coached cspeciully for the Redpath Bureau. Everybody knows a Cohan play. Other plays may be witty, clever, thrilling, may wring your heart with pathos or make you catch your breath with sus pense, but a Cohan play does all these things and more it carries the unmis takable and irresistible stamp of the Cohan personality. In this popular play, Cohan, took two fellows and a girl, juggled them togeth er with clever talk and swift action and produced one of themost, delightful comedies of recent years. "Two Fellows and a Girl" was pro- duced by Mr. Cohan at the Vanderbilt Theatre in New York City, where it enjoyed a long and prosperous run. It also played successful engagements in Chicago and other metropolitan cities. This is a "big feature dramatic offer ing of the Lyceum course, and patrons are sure to vote it one of the most note worthy comedies ever produced upon the platform. (5; w- (Continutd on pagt four)
