This project for a police school had been informally and , unofficially discussed" pre viously and on several occasions by Association President Walter F. Doby, chief of police of Dur ham; Past President J. Winder Bryan, chief of police of Raleigh, and various members of the Uni versity faculty and executive staff. ' " - ' This association, open to all paid police officers in the state above the rank of patrolman, has held five notable conventions with unusual addresses and dis cussions by the governor and other state officers, by various chiefs of police of North Caro lina and neighboring states ; has been instrumental in securing the enactment of the North Carolina finger print law, of the act to require the drivers of all vehicles to display lights when on public highways at night, oi the act making it a "felony for any person to use a smoke screen attachment on an automobile, of the act requiring poolrooms or clubs to secure permits from the local city government before state "charters or permits will be granted them, of the act making it a crime to impersonate an j officer of the law; and has other wise shown remarkable vigor and strength for an association of busy mehT The University was very glad to cooperate with the association by undertaking some form of instruction for present and prospective mem bers of police departments, and the extension division at once entered upon plans for this pur pose. ; It was decided, in consultation with the executive committee of the association, to hold a ten day school of police practice and administration at the University August 14-24, 1929, and to plan then and' thereafter, on the basis of the experience gajned, for in- (Continued on page four" Sophomore Meeting Ben Aycock, president of the sophomore class, an nounces that there will bea meeting of the Sophomore Executive Committee this morning at 10:30 o'clock in Dean Bradshaw's. office.

As Dr. Henderson was unable to identify the donor he gave the following statement to the re porter: "Recently some one, whose name has never reached me, delivered at my door a mag nificent wild goose which had been shot only a short time be fore. The goose was left "for Dr. Henderson," but the name of the donor reached me in such an evidently garbled and, to me, unidentifiable form. "Such a gracious gift inspired me to a vivid sense of gratitude, which I have been most eager to express to the donor. But all my inquiries and efforts have failed thus far to identify him. "Accordingly I am giving this public notice, hoping thereby t6 acquaint the donor of my great fdelight in the gift, and to re ceive some communication from him." r FOOTBALL RACE T0 Only Three Teams Remain Un defeated, in Intramural Con test ; Championship Game November 26. The Intramural Tag Football League enters the final week of competition with three unde feated teams 1 competing for honors in the fraternity stand ing while the New Dorms is the only undefeated dormitoryteam, to date. An unusual amount of interest in tag football has been display ed this fall and approximately 350 or more boys have competed during this season, and 'an ex ceedingly small number, of for feits have been given. Aside from the " regularly scheduled games between the fraternities and the ones between the dorjni torses tnere nave oeen many practice games between these teams.

HARD F O R STIFF WINTER SCHEDULE Boxing practice in . the tin can has begun to assume the propor tions of mid-season . activity. Prospects for the coming sea-! son are very bright and Coach Crayton Rowe is well pleased with the turn out so far this fall. The work of the freshmen is particularly promising and an early forecast of the team prom ises to be one of the best on the Hill since the inauguration of boxing several years ago. There are several -men out for each of the weights and practicing with the varsity squad they are get ting in a form that is little short of seasoned scrappers. Many of these boys after little more than a month's experience behind them are slinging their punches like hardened veterans, in fact they are giving the older mem bers all the fight they are look ing for. - In the lighter weights Jimmy Grey and Livingston are mak ing strong bids for positions and should prove good men for the 125-pound class. Livingston, who has seen service before, is one .of the leading men for the weight and been doing some very good boxing all f alC Jimmy Grey has also been doing well, and is improving fast, and indi cations are that he will be a fine man inj his class before long. Both of these boys . are heavy hitters besides being clever at the more scientific end. The 135-pound class has three men who are coming along very well and should make hard hit ters and rugged fighters? Just above in the 145 class Stallings, Jackson and Preston have been showing ud well. Mixing it with varsity men like; Captain Archie Allen and Goodrich, they have progressed rapidly and are both shifty and fast. This is one of the strongest classes and competition for positions at this weight will be keen. The middleweight is slow at furnishing material but has one very good southpaw in Kaugh man, who , has been laying out the last week with a dislocated finger. Men are needed in this class and Coach Rowe is looking for men to show up for the posi tion. " Lightheavy and heavy, has an other southpaw, Miller, who has been doing consistent work this fall, and Hubbafd, who can be used for either weight. Hubbard who has only been out lor a short while is coming along ex ceptionally well and should make a very good man. He. can hit well with either hand and is na turally shifty and fast. Miller, who is doing well in the heavy class, is also shifty and fast for a large man, and packs a hard left. Coach Rowe again is interest ed in getting all men who are coming out for boxing to start training soon, as the season is getting away to an early start and the first meet is only six weeks after the Christmas vaca tion. .-': Phi Delta Phi legal fraternity announces the .pledging of the following men: J. G. Adams, Biltmore ; Travis Brown, Char lotte; T. J. Gold, High Point; D. J. Craig, Statesville; H. N. Woodson, Salisbury; Calvin Graves, Mt. Airy; and A. J. Stubbs, Durham. No Instruction Allowed in Any Class Not Under Control of School of Education Staff. For the past two years seniors in the school of education have been accorded practice teaching privileges in the Chapel Hill high school. This work is very close ly supervised. Six members of the school of education staff act as heads of the six departments into which the high school is di vided. Each man is in direct charge of two high school class es. The pupils in these classes are taught more than half the time by these University pro fessors ; the rest of the time the actual teaching is done by prac tice teachers under their super vision. No practice teaching is allowed in any class , not under the direct control of a member of the school of education staff. Patrons of schools in which practice teaching is permitted are frequently fearful of the consequence ot having tneir children practiced upon by im mature and inexperienced teach ers iii training. Such f ears are justified. Practice teaching in evitably tends towards a lower ing of the quality of instruction. That this tendency is more than offset in the local school through the safeguards provided is proved by the results of the bat tery of examinations given to the seniors in all the high schools of the state last spring. The returns have been tabulated and show that in every depart ment the median score made by the Chapel Hill pupils is greatly in excess of the corresponding state median. The sum of the state medians is 86.9; the sum of the Chapel Hill medians is 136, or more than 50 per cent higher. Further objective evidence having a bearing on the quality of instruction being given in the local, school appears in the re ports of the Association of Col leges and Secondary schools of the southern states. The last report shows that the percent age of failure of XJhapel Hill high school graduates attending , college dropped f rom 26.9 to 10.5 after University professors were placed in charge of the various departments. These data show clearly that practice teaching as it is con-, ducted in the local school has not proved to be detrimental to the interests of the pupils. On the contrary the school of edu cation influence seems to have resulted in a distinct improve ment in the quality of instruc tion being given. OFFICERS ELECTED IN ENGINEERING SOCIETY The University of North Caro lina Society of Mechanical En gineers met in Phillips hall Thursday night. A constitution and bylaws were drawn up and accepted..
