public Welfare Institute
Acclaimed Great Success
THE SPEAKERS ARE GOOD
Week of Meetings Closes With
Burlesque Dinner and Elec
tion of Officers. .
The eieghth annual Public
"Welfare Institute closed its ses
sions here Friday night and end
d what has been termed the
most successful institute ever to
be held at the University.
At the final meeting Dr. P. H
Fleming, of Alamance, was elect
ed president of the North Caro
lina Association of County Su
perintendents of Public Welfare,
He succeeds K. T. Futrell, of
Pitt. J. B. Hall, of Halifax was
elected vice-president and Miss
Lucile, M. Eifort, of Moore, sec
retary-treasurer. '
At the Thursday . meetings
Dr. George Preston, Director of
the Children's Clinic of Rich
mond, Virginia, spoke to the del
egates on different phases of
child psychology.
In treating the field of child
training, Dr. Preston pointed
out the dangers of being incon
sistent; giving too many direc
tions and being inconsiderate of
the child. Turmoil in the fam
ily, he said, multiplies these
other factors several times,
"If a boy steals and has
father and mother, it is their
fault," said Dr. Preston. "We
are born liars and acquire a
sense of truth later, and it is
first of all up to the parents to
train their children."
"If a child is termed disobe
dient, one should remember first
that it involves another person
the one giving the orders," he
continued. If a child is given
an order every five minutes,
naturally he can't obey them all,
and if a three year old child is
told to do something impossible
as sitting still for half an hour,
disobedience will surely follow.
It is just as wrong to be incon-

Year Ago.

their' work, was 852. This is
30 more than the registration

According to University offi
cials, the first term, which end
ed with a total registration of
1684, superseded all others not
only in the numbers enrolled but
also from the standpoint of aca
demic and professional training.
"The administrative officials,"
said Dean N. W. Walker, Direc
tor of the Summer School, "are
highly satisfied with the manner
in which the Summer School has
been conducted and in the
smooth manner in which it ran
off. It has been an outstanding
summer school from" the stand
point of selectness of students,
strength of faculty, and lack of
necessity for disciplinarian ac

The Summer Attractions pro
gram for the second term of
University Summer School pre
sented the Elena de Sayn String
Quartet here last night as the
opening number. , c
A large audience greeted the
musicians and the company com
posed of Miss de Sayn, first vio
lin ; Lynch Luquer, second vio
lin; Miss Lydia Brewer, viola;
and Ludwig Manoly, cello, gave
them a program that from all
indications thoroughly , satisfied.
The program was a model vio
lin recital. Using representative
composers from four different
countries,, the group expressed
much of the soul of Holland, Bo
hemia, Russia, and Norway in
the performance.
V
The . violin was the base on
which the whole concert was
built, and in Miss de Sayn's
'hands that little instrument
made a decidedly good impres
sion. Through the whole pro
gram there was a pleasing ele
ment of refinement, and listen
ers were always conscious of the
fact that they sat before four
artists of a quiet musical nature.
A warm musical feeling and th
clear singing tone of the string
ed instruments filled Memorial
Hall.' .... . . , .. .
SECOND SUMMER
SCHOOL OF LAW
The Second Session in the His
tory of the School Has
Sixty Students. v
The second Summer Law
School in the history of the Uni
versity has a registration of
sixty, this being five less than
the total number of registrations
for the first term.
Like the first term, this sec
ond term will place the empha
sis on regular work for a law
degree rather than on coaching
classes for the bar. examina
tion. '. During the term that has just
closed there were 65 students
registered for work in law, these
came from eleven states as fol
lows : North Carolina 46, South
Carolina 4, Mississippi 1, Okla
homa 1, Virginia 4, New York
2, Florida 3, Texas 1, Louisiana
i, Tennessee 1, and Georgia 1.
Sixty per cent of this number
had already received their col
lege degrees, and there were
three M. A.'s and one Ph. D.
among the lot. It s believed
from the experience of summer (
law schools elsewhere, .that in
the future some members of the
bar may desire to spend some
vacation time studying subjects
of special interest to them here
at the summer school.,

Two Summer Plays
Twice as Many Women as Men
Attended First Summer School
The number of women attend
ing the first term of the Univer

WARREN'S VICTORY
ENTHUSES STUDENTS
Talk of the Dempsey-Sharkey
contest, which had been the top
ic of conversation among fight
followers, was put in the shade
Friday night, when news reach
ed university students here that
K. O.. Warren, junior national
champion of the United. States,
had knocked out the big Indian
army fighter, Chief Mayle, in
the second of what was to have
been a four-round bout at Fort
Bragg.
. The University boxer return
ed to the Hillr late last night,
looking none the worse for the
encounter, except for a slight
cut on the upper lip. The knock
out came in the first minute of
the second round when Warren
hooked a left to the jawt follow
ed by a crashing right which
stretched the Indian on the can
vas for the count.
"Now that I've knocked out
Mayle," Warren said, "I'm going
to put my time into getting in
shape for football in the fall."
Warren, playing at tackle last
year, was one of the outstand
ing linesmen on the University
eleven.
Daniel Carl Page, 35, carpen
ter forman for T. C. Thompson
& Bro., engaged in erecting Uni
versity of North Carolina build
ings, died at the University
infirmary Monday ; morning
about 7 o'clock, a few minutes
after he had been struck and
dragged 42 feet on East Frank
lin street in Chapel Hill by a car
driven by J. E. Masness, 53, of
West Durham, cabinet maker
for the University's building di
vision. Mr. Mansess was on the way
from his home to his work in
Chapel Hill about 6:50 o'clock
when the accident happened. Mr.
Page had parked his car about
halfway between the Graham -Memorial
building and Battle
dormitory on Franklin street and
had started across the street
to go to the post-office. He
halted about the middle of the
street ,f or another car to pass,
then took a step or two, when
he realized that the Mansess
car was approaching. Thinking
evidently that it would pass in
front of him, as the other had,
Mr. Page . stepped back. Mr.
Mansess, thinking Mr. Page
would continue toward the side
walk, swerved toward his left.
The man and car apparently
dodged back and forth tvo or
three times before the car
struck. The impact broke Mr.
Page's neck near the base of the
skull and both of his shoulders,
the examination showed. The
radiator cap on the car was
was broken off and the radiator
dented in so the fan would not
run, it was shown.

HONOR STUDENTS '
FROM ENGLAND TO
STUDY AT U. N. C.
This Institution Among the
Few Which are Chosen
v for Graduate Work.
Our idea of an optimist is the
guy that goes straight home
when he knows his family knows
he has flunked three courses.
The University of North Car
olina is among the few institu
tions in the country chosen by
honor men graduates of British
universities in which to contin
ue their studies, according to an
nouncement made in London re
cently of the award of Common
wealth Fund fellowships a
mounting to $125,000 to twenty
honor graduates of British uni
versities who are to come to the
United States in the fall fpr two
years' study in American uni
versities. '
The awards this year, as pre
viously, were made by a com
mittee of leading British educa
tors, with the Prince of Wales
as honorary chairman, and Sir
Waltere Buchanan-Riddell, Prin
cipal of Hertford College, Ox
ford, as chairman.
The Commonwealth Fund was
established by the late Mrs. Ste
phen V. Harkness in 1918 as a
philanthropic foundation "for
th'e welfare of mankind." Any
one of the 26 institutions belong
ing to the Association of Amer
ican Universities may be select
ed by a successful candidate, but
ordinarily not more than three
scholars in any year's quota may
choose the same university.
