The February issue of tha
North' Carolina Law Review,
whieh is published by the Uni
versity law school four times
during the school year, has ap
peared. Henry Brandis, Jr.,
assistant editor of the Review
and at present a student in the'
school of law at Columbia Uni
versity, wrote the leading article
in the new issue on "Trust Ad
ministration." V
In his discussion Brandis
takes up two types of problems
in the administration of trust
estates. These two are (1) the
problems of principal and in
come arising where a part of
the trust is unproductive real
estate, and (2) problems con
cerning the apportionment be
tween principal and income of
various expenses arising in con
nection with the management of
the trust. Both of these are
thoroughly discussed by the
writer, who gives some of his
views on each of the two.
Some of the other articles in
the February number are "The
Parol Evidence rule in North
Carolina," written by J. H.
CJiadbourn, and C. T. McCor-
mick. Chadbourn is the editor-
in-chief of the Review while Mc-
Cormick is dean and professor
of law here. J. Gleen Edwards,

Less Bad Checks Used
This Year Than Last
A careful record of all bad
checks reported to the Student
Council check committee for the
fall quarter shows that a total
of 367 bad checks were reported
to the committee by the Bank
of Chapel Hill.
wnen it is returned for any
reason whatsoever. The term
fbad" applies to the check, and
not to the intention of the giver.
This fall quarter has seen the
least number of bad checks
since the fall of 1926. During
the same period of time last
year, there were 637 checks re
turned, and 773 the year before.
The total amount of money in
volved this year was $3,348.10
as compared with 4,376.07 last
year, and $6,211.11 year before
last. The number of students
passing the checks was 334 as
contrasted with 292 the previ
ous year and the 315 the year
preceding that. It is believed
that the numerous bank failures
have been the cause for the bad
checks this fall.

One of the colored orches
tras of Chapel Hill has offered
to give its services for a dance
and donate the cost of the or
chestra to the Red Cross. Ar
rangements have not yet been
made to give the dance.
The national fund has reached
approximately $5,000,000. Of
this amount $13678 was con
tributed by North Carolina.
Many of the checks which have
been sent in were accompanied
by letters which mentioned the
appeals given over the radio.
The Canadian net work carried
the appeal to many in Canada
who sent checks. Americans in
Mexico also answered the radio
request. '
Among those who have given
addresses in behalf of the Red

principal from
1919 to 1924. Sir George An
derson. Director of Public In-
struction in the Punjab, said
that Professor McKee's work at
Moga was the "most interesting
and valuable contribution to edu
cational progress in India dur
ing, the last few years." The
same opinion has been express
ed by numerous other Indian
government officials, and the
story of what Professor McKee
has accomplished in the Punjab
is known among the educational
leaders of the world. .
That an Indian publisher
bought a thousand copies of
"New Schools for Young India"
before it had come from the
press is another tribute to the
book's author.
Besides telling of the methods
and results of his educational
work among the lower classes
and outcast boys, Dr. McKee de
voted several chapters to the
history of education in India
and the social and economic con
ditions among the various In
dian castes.
The University Press believes
that the greatest value of the
book lies in its pointing out the
effectiveness of connecting
teaching with practical inter
ests of everyday life.
Since coming to the Univer
sity Dr. McKee has had several
offers from other institutions,
and he recently refused an at
tractive offer to go back to India.

BRADSHAW GETS
DOCTOR'S DEGREE
. Dean F. F. Bradshaw recently
received the degree of doctor of
philosophy. He began his
graduate work at this Univer
sity and continued here after
the war. He also did graduate
work at Columbia University,
beginning in the summer of
1925 and finishing in the spring
and summer of 192S. This com
pleted his year of residence ne
cessary for the degree, which
was conferred in December 1930
from Columbia. '
His thesis is a pamphlet, "The
American Council on Education
Rating Scale: Its Reliability and
Use." The degree was earned
through the combining of three
separate endeavors: namely, the
studies of statistics for the re
ports needed for his office here
at the University, his work on
the committee of the American
Council of Education, and lastly,
the above mentioned thesis.
