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.
