When Says Curriculum To Be Years Ahead of That of Most Tech nical Schools. '- ulmieatioii Of Year's : .udy Says-IL -B. Mouse Tar Heel Passes IS FIRST YEAR AT N. C. itr The curriculum of the engi neering school at Chapel Hill is, in the opinion of .many, years ahead of the curricula of most technical schools in the amount of its liberalizing content," stat ed Professor George F. Bason, head of the electrical engineer ing department of the Univer sity, in an article appearing in the Charlotte Observer last Sun day. . When asked what was the standing of the University engi neering school among men who employ graduating electrical engineers, Mr. Bason stated that men from North Carolina are far better equipped to enter their field than the graduates of the majority of technical schools. xProf essor Bason in his article goes on to say that at the pres ent time the demand for engi neers is for those who have had liberal work in addition to the strictly technical instruction. The University pfNprth Caro lina is filling thill ed;f or men with other than. tScnical train ing, and consejqtuejIyHt occupies a high posititfwKh those who are in a yo i judge a sr.hnnl from4$ sitr-l fcdint of the ftraining Ivn itL gfaduatgs; Not only is the school of engi- neermg praisea oy rroiessor Bason, who came here this year from Cornell where he was head of the department of electrical engineering, for its liberal work but the mathematical work pre sented to the students also comes in for its share of praise. Where as the average student comes to the University with less mathe matical training than is required for admittance to most techni cal schools, the graduate leaves more than ordinarily well equipped with this valuable tool of the engineers' technical equip ment. A " large part of the strictly manual trammer courses which are given at most technica schools is not included in the curiculum at Carolina, and the time'given to this subject is de voted to so-called liberal courses ThprA has been a Arrowing he left Dartmouth college, where sentiment that universities have he had delivered a series of lec- an obligation to fulfill in help tures, Professor W.

Ixecutive Secretary of Univer sity Speaks To Freshmen At Chapel Exercises. BRADSHAW TELLS OF GERRARD HALL R. B. House spoke to part of the freshman class on the gen eral theme of studying Tuesday morning when chapel -was re sumed in Gerrard hall. f .Dean Bradshaw opened -the exercise by describing his mem ories of chapel in Gerrard hall - when he entered the University as a freshman. He announced that chapel will continue to meet under the present arrange ments while Memorial hall is undergoing repairs. . Mr. House took the greater part of the chapel period to dis cuss some of the difficulties that have confronted the freshmen in their academic work. Speaking first of the student's attitude toward examinations, he said that examinations should be re garded as a very essential part of college work as they represent what the student has accom plished.' "While examinations stand as the culmination of the student's study, studying itself is the ac tual problem," Mr. House re minded the freshmen. "Some men think themselves lacking in ability in certain fields when in reality their difficulties are cer tain fallacies in their methods of studying. These fallacies may lie in their attitude toward the work or in their efforts toward concentration and practice." In regard to attitude toward work, Mr. House urged the freshmen that in spite of dislike for and I the difficulty of certain courses they determine to master them. He told them that it .was within the ability of any one to pass col lege work, passing being merely a matter of day by day work. Recommending practical helps for studying, Mr. House said that one should remember at all times to concentrate on the work in hand. He declared, that little of the time a student spent studying was given to earnest concentration. Last of all, he said that a student should make the information he gathers a fixed part of his knowledge by constant repetition and practice. To be liberal is as important to a college student as to be hon orable." or square,' or on the "up and up," according to' the presi dent of Oberlin college,- Dr. Ern est Hatch Wilkins. -,V ' v ' Meyer Names Six Keys Of Success Yesterday evening, before a large and distinguished audi ence in Goldsboro, Professor Harold D.
