IS IT WORTH IT?
At this time the question of
going to college is confronting
every graduate of the high
schools and others who are pre
pared to enter an institution of
higher learning. The question
of whether it is worth while,
the money and time that will be
spent in college now looms in
the prospective college student's
mind. .
There are those who will tell
one that college is a waste of
time a four-year loaf and
the breeding place for all the
devilment under the sun. How
ever, we believe that the high
school graduate had best listen
to what those who know have
to say about it. J. B. Duke, en
dower of the Duke University,
describing an education as "a
personal satisfaction," said that
if he had his days to live over
again he "would attend college
for four years and hope to get
as much as the average present
day graduate receives from his
four years experience."
- Making a man broader in vis
ion' and outlook, creating 'a
greater field for future service,
and making one more powerful
by supplying knowledge, which
is power itself these and more
are the results of a college edu
cation,. The United States board of
education estimates that, in the
matter of financial earning capa
city alone, a college education is
worth $150,000 to the average
man. This means that college
prepares him to earn, according'
to the average, $150,000 more
than the average man can with
out college training.
When you are considering
what to do, ask the man who has
been to college or can appreci
ate one, for sound advice.
YOUR UNIVERSITY
As your own high school or
streets is, or are, the property of
you and yours, so is the Uni
versity of North Carolina. Creat
ed, operated and financed by the
people of the state, the Univer
sity is doing all it can with its
resources and equipment to serve
those to whom it belongs.
Carolina is not endowed by
the monies of a single or small
group of. .individuals. Nor is it
controlled by a sectarian organ
ization. The University of
North Carolina is endowed by
over two and a half million peo
ple and by their wealth which
far exceds a billion dollars. Could
an institution be richer.
As a public servant to the peo
ple of the state, the work of the
University can daily be seen.
The mental examinations which
are given to high school stu
dents are prepared by a depart
ment of the institution at Chapel
Hill. Your teachers are proba
bly products of the school of edu
cation ',- here. Any citizen may
take a university course by cor
respondence or by extention in
struction if he desires and meets
the requirements. These are but
a few citations to show how
closely linked the university is
with the people of North Caroli
na. ,
With a background of 139
years, rich in humor and tradi
tional triumphs, the University
of North Carolina now stands
out as one of the leading uni
versities of the country the lea
der long recognized in the south.
He,who chooses, Carolina for
his institution of higher learn
ing will choose well.
MOST SUCCESSFUL SUMMER
SESSION NEARS CLOSE
FREE TUITION IS
AVAILABLE IN THE
EDUCATION SCHOOL
Teachers and Those Planning To
Teach Can Benefit By State
Exemption Walker Explains,
Next Tuesday the most suc
cessful summer school in the his
tory of the institution will come
to a close. Dean TST. W. Walker,
Director of Summer School, and
other administrative officials
voice the opinion that this has
been the best summer session
from the standpoint of quality
of students, general scholarship,
strength of faculty and the lack
of necessity of disciplinary ac
tion. Dean Walker states:
"The Summer School session
of 1927, now coming to a close,
has established several records
worthy of notice. ,..
"In the first place the quality
of the student body is better
than ever before. As evidence
of this fact, the records show
that 32.8 per cent, hold college
degrees; last year only 25.6 per
cent, held degrees. Further, the
summer school students this
year have been very studious,
according to reports from in
structors. The library records
add proof to this statement; par
allel reading books have been
very much in demand.; In the
number enrolled, this session has
also set a record. During the
two terms 2,544 students were
enrolled, the enrollment last
year "being 2,323. The number
of students in the graduate
school ,this session was 485 com
pared with 344 last year. ; The
Administrative Board reports
fewer cases of discipline than
have been reported in any pre
vious session.
"In every particular the af
fairs of the Summer School have
been administered with but lit
tle friction. We feel safe in
stating that this has been the
most successful session in spite
of the enviable records made in
past years." .
The time has now come, to
paraphrase President Harry W.
Chase's opening exercise ad
dress, when the University
should choose men of outstand
ing merit with national reputa
tion for the various departments
of instruction for the summer
school. In short, the University
of North Carolina summer
school should not only be the
best in the south, but should
rank at the top of the summer
sessions of the various leading
Universities in the United
States.
Playmakers Produce
Two One-Act Pieces
With Great Success
The Carolina Playmakers,
overcoming handicaps arising
due to the absence of Hubert
He'ffner,. director, and the inex
perience of the casts, played up
to the high standard set by the
Playmakers in the past, when
they presented The,Scuffletown
Outlaws and In Dixon's Kitchen
before the University Summer
School here last week.
The lion's share of honor for
the success of the performance
goes to William Norment Cox,
of Rowland, author, star, and di
rector of The Scuffletown Out
laws. ,.
The second play on the bill,
In addition to the hundred or
more scholarships which are an
nually awarded, giving free tui
tion in the University to the reci
pients, exemption from.the pay
ment pf tuition may be realized
by those who have taught school
in the state for a certain period
of time and by those who are
going to teach. Dean N. W.
Walker, of the School of Educa
tion, sets forth the conditions
under which a student may avail
himself, or herself, of free tui
tion when registered in that
school. The statement of Dean
Walker follows: .
"The State of Korth Carolina
offers free tuition to students in
the University who have taught
in the schools of North Carolina
for as long as two years.. It of
fers free tuition also to students
who are preparing to teach in
North Carolina. Undergradu
ates in the University who avail
themselves of the tuition exemp
tion under this provision are re
quired, under a resolution of the
trustees, to register, in the
School of Education. The School
of Education is that division of
the University whose major pur
pose is to prepare young men and
young women for teaching and
for other forms of educational
service. Undergraduates regis
tered in the School of Education
pursue the same academic
courses in the various depart
ments of the University that the
students in the other schools
pursue, but their programs of
work are administered by the
School of Education officials, t
"The curricula of the School
of Education are designed to
give students a sound general
academic training such as may
be secured in any good college
of arts and sciences and in addi
tion thereto it gives the profes
sional courses in education and
related subjects that are requir
ed ,of teachers for certification
to teach in the better schools
of the State. Students in this
school are given an opportunity
to begin their specialization,
while undergraduates, in any of
the academic departments in
which they show; ability and
have an interest. The bac
calaureate degree to which the
curricula in the School of Edu
cation leads is that of A.B. in
Education. Graduates of the
School of Education, then, have
a good general academic train
ing plus the professional train
ing required for teaching in the
best schools of this State. Those
who wish to pursue graduate
work are, on graduation, pre
pare to enter any of the leading
graduate schools to begin their
graduate studies in any one of
three fields of learning.
, "High school graduates enter
ing the University this fall who
expect to avail themselves of the
free tuition privilege extended to
those intending to teach must
make all arrangements for this
exemption before registering in
September. Full particulars
may be had on application to the
Dean of the School of Education.
