' Gathering Expected to Attract ManjrMrst Session Wilt Ite Held in Gerrrd Hall on Thursday Evening, July 1 4.' .' .- - 0 ' With the coming. of July .all of those persons who. are inter: ested in the field of elementary education are turning ' their at tention to the Conference on Elementary Education which will be held here in Chapel Hill on July 14th and 15th. All.in dications are that the attentance at this year's Conference will be unusually large. : This year's Conference will stress the, necessity for, the im provement of instruction in the public elementary schools. The Conference will hold its first session Thursday, July 14th at 8 :00 p. m. in Gerrard Hall. Dur ing this session a study will be made of the techniques of teach ing in the elementary schools. Experimental y data gathered through actual -study of the pub lic elementary schools in North Carolina will be carefully ana lyzed. -: On Friday morning, July 15th, at 10 o'clock the session will be devoted to a study of teacher supply and demand. The inter est of this state in teacher train ing has hinged around the sound notion, generally accepted, that the central problem of education is to get and to keep real teach ers. In North Carolina the short age of well trained teachers is more acute in the . elementary schools than in the high schools. The need for well trained ele mentary teachers is especially great in rural communities; At the present time North Carolina is employing more than 17,000 teachers.; Approximately 23 per cent of the teachers employ ed in the public schools of North Carolina are teaching for theij: first time in North Carolina dur ing the present year. This means that North Carolina is employing nearly 4,000 beginner teachers each year. The total supply of teachers received from higher institutions amounts , to only 1:600 teachers. Because of a shortage of well trained teach ers, , North parolina employed during , the year 1925-1926 ap proximately 2,300 new teachers who held Elementary Bpr low er grade certificates. These fig ures suggest that North Caro lina must immediately assume the, obligation of. enlarging ex isting institutions and establish ing at least one or two addition al institutions. The session de voted to teacher supply ai'd de mand promises to be most inter esting since the topic consider ed is of vital interest to persons interested iri the improvement of instruction in the elementary schools. It it hardly likely that our schools will reach maximum efficiency until an adequate sup ply, of well trained teachers ex ists. : : . ; ' The Friday afternoon session has for its topic, Rural School 1 Supervision in North Carolina. This program was arranged by Mr. L. C. Brogden, Supervisor of Elementary Schools and Miss Maycie Southall,; . Assistant Su pervisor of Elementary Schools. The speakers on this program are persons who are administer ing rural supervision in- a very effective way. Testing programs and surveys dealing with super vision will be described. In ad dition to the more theoretical aspects of supervision, Superin tendent R. S. Proctor, County Superintendent of Craven Coun ty, has agreed to speak on, The Monetary Values of Supervision. On Friday evening at 7 o'clock a liooa-J? eiiowsnip umner win be held at the Carolina Inn. All persons interested in elementary education are invited to attend this dinner After the dinner a short concluding session will be held in Gerrard Hall. On this occasion Dr. A. T.

For the last four days, the editor of the Buccaneer has wept real, honest to Jupe Pluv ius tears for the scheduled sum mer school edition of the Bucca neer is not going to appear This was the information given to a Tar Heel reporter when he interviewed the editOB several days ago. It seems that adver . tising has gone ker-flop, that the editor's little dog has died, that permission from the P. U. Board has not been granted, that the printers are rushed to death, that there is a shortage of ink and that the editor got caught in a rain storm the other night and the result is double pneu monia, gout and influeza.. The campus has been all set and much expecting the Bucca neer and the news will no doubt be sad for, those who have never seen a copy of the alleged comic ; to those who have seen it, this news may bring from them a sigh of relief. Anyway, it is indeed deplor able that we can't have the old Ship with us this summer. There just wasn't enough rain to float it, that's all. The editor also states that no contributions were received from the campus. "Evidently," he says, "no one here, this sum mer is funny enough .or else BAPTIST Eugene Olive, Pastor 9 :45 -Sunday School 11:00 Morning Services 7:00 B. Y. P.

A goodly number of pu T)ils are already receiving in struction in dancing, and the manager states that he is opti mistic over the prospective reg istration for the next month. Miss Helen Johnson and Wray Ward, both of High Point, are the instructors and Mr&. Tom Fetzer is the chaperon. Both of the instructors are experienced teachers, Mr. Ward having re ceived lessons in dancing from a New York dancing expert. Manager Hardee has announc ed ttaV only pupils will be al lowed in the building during hours of instruction. there is a mighty lot of studying going on. And again, perhaps no one wanted the sheet any way." The Tar Heel reporter reports that he attempted to cheer the editor up a little but he seemed lost in a deep state of melancholia. He doesn't know how long it will last but if the worst comes to thet worst, the editor of the Buccaneer says that he prefers roses and bru netts and ice water. What Caused the.Sickness? (Continued from' page one) , food because cases have been re ported to them from various boarding houses about town as well as the down-town eating houses. . ' "' " Those in charge of the filter plant here express their belief that it would be .next to impos sible for a sickness of this na ture to reach local residents through drinking water. Not only is the water .filtered but every gallon of it is chlorinated by an automatic machine. It is also analyzed by the University and by the State Laboratory of Hygiene the University test is made daily and the State Test every three weeks. Special tests have been made this week and no polution could be discovered As yet the wide-spread malady is a mystery. .
