of the University presented the
cause of public education in
North Carolina to the members
of the senior high school Parent
Teachers Association who came
together in Greensboro Tues
day evening for their regular
meeting. v
President Graham, speaking
as a representative of the pub
lic education system of the state
gave warning after warning to
the effect that small so-called
economies which strike at the
heart of the education program
form an inexcusable, unsound
and un-businesslike method of
meeting emergencies. The Uni
versity's "president indicated
that a decent salary, is a neces
sary adjunct to the maintenance
of the high standards of ex
cellence in moral and intellectual
training which have led this
state out of ignorance, poverty,
and despair into happiness and
prosperity. This cut is not ob
jected to on the grounds that
the teachers are unwilling to al
low a ten per cent reduction on
their salary but because history
has proved that a decent salary
is a part or the equipment ot
every good teacher and the best
service cannot be rendered with
out it.

over the meeting in the absence
of its president. Following
Bresident ... Graham's ..address
there was'a short business ses
sion. Mr. R. D. Douglas intro
duced the speaker.
President Graham began his
talk by stating that there are
four factors to which the prog
ress of this country are respon
sible; the abundance of natural
resources ; efficient business or
ganization: wide use of labor
saving devices; and an efficient
public school system.
"The calm second thought of
the people of North Carolina
surely show them that there
will not be less public educa
tion but, rather, more of it. The
spiritual and moral resources
furnished by the educational in
stitutions guide every other
worth while activity in the
state. The effectiveness of a
school system is not to be judged
by the excellence of its build
ings but by the strength of its
teaching faculty, the personal
ity of its teachers, and those
qualities and ideals inside the
school," President Graham said
"Teachers would willingly
sacrifice their ten per cent on
the altar of this commonwealth,
if that would be fair. But ex-.
perience has taught that a de
cent salary is necessary for the
better instruction of our youths.
Teaching brings in the smallest
returns of any occupation, and
yet it requires as much training
and ability as any other profes
sion. Many teachers would
work without pay if this were
possible. The failure of the pub
lic to provide a decent salary
scale for teachers has the ten
dency to drive out the best in
structors and to impair the ef
ficiency of those who "remain. -,
"The teachers have not been
on a joy ride and they should

The members of the Univer
sity Masonic, Lodge dedicated
their new temple Monday night
at a meeting attended by Ma
sons from Chapel Hill, Raleigh,
Durham, Sanford, Pittsboro,
Burlington, and many other
nearby lodges. After dinner in
the new temple, they were en
tertained by a musical program
The new lodge is situated on
the corner of Church and Frank
lin streets, and was the old
Baptist church. Recently the
local lodge decided to renovate
the old church which had no
been in use for many years, and
to use it as a place of meeting
Funds were raised and the re
modeling finished last week,
Monday night's meeting was the
first held in their new quarters
When University Lodge was
chartered January 1, 1888,
began to meet in an old brick
building on the site of the pres
ent Baptist church. The mem
bers met there for twenty-three
years, then changed to the
Brockwell building, where they
have met since 1911.
At the time the Baptis
church was built, J. H. An
drews of Carrboro allotted the
land and made a liberal dona
tion toward the expenses of
erecting a church. It was con
structed of brick from Williams
burg, Virginia, the old town
which is now being reconstruct

Carola Goya, who is the first
performer offered on the enter
tainment program to appear in
he new Memorial hall, is ex
pected to arrive in Chapel Hill
shortly before noon, Friday.
In the past the custom was to
ete and entertain the guest ar-
ists extensively when they
came here on their tours. Now,
however, this practice has been
abandoned, partly at the request
of the artists themselves and
partly because of lack of funds.
There will be reserved seats
or the performance Friday
night. Only about one-third of
the liberal arts students who are
entitled to and who have paid
for their tickets, have called for
them. The office of the dean of
the liberal arts school where
these tickets may be secured, is
open from nine in the morning
until five in the afternoon, and
the passes may be received at
any time between these hours.
The program of dances by
Senorita Goya are exceptional,
judging from the comments
made by those who have seen
the performance. The press of
Europe joins in the praise of the
New York papers, in acclaiming
her as one of the sensational
dancers of the last few years.
The Musical American, states :
"Miss Goya's charm lies m
her romantic personality, her
dramatic grasp of a composition,
and intelligent feeling for rhy
thm. She has a splendid body and
a lively temperament which were
best in evidence in a dance call
ed 'Cordoba performed with
poetic feeling. She looked like an
enchantress in some jasmine
scented garden in Spain-
dangerous figure in the moon
light. The audience also greatly
enjoyed her 'Fado the dance of
a Portuguese fisher girl and
'Mi Negrita a Cuban number,
which she performed with such
taste and fire she was asked to
repeat them."
At the meeting of trustees cf
the University presided over by
Governor 0. Max Gardner in his
office in. Raleigh on Tuesday
afternoon, the move of Presi
dent Frank P. Graham in ask
ing for an appropriation of
$875,000 for maintenance and
operation of the University plant
for the next biennium, was ap
proved. The meeting also ap
proved of the motion appoint
ing a committee to appear be
fore the appropriations commit
tee of the general assembly to
request that the sum asked for
be appropriated. .
The bill for the consolidation
of the boards of the three state
maintained schools, the Univer
sity, State College, and North
Carolina College, as one was dis
cussed. Governor Gardner, in
the discussion, intimated that he
planned to send a special mes
sage to the general assembly
urging that body to declare it
self in favor of the proposal,
with the details to be worked out
later. However, the bill for con
solidation has not yet been
drawn up.
This consolidation was one of
the governor's recommendations
to the assembly. It is thought
that it will take some time for
this union to go into effect and
no immediate change will be ad
vocated in regard to the re
appointment of the boards of
trustees for the three schools
during the next' two years.
With the 1933 assembly it is
hoped that the consolidation
plan,- which this assembly will
start, may be completed.
President Graham said that
the University faculty was in
favor of full consideration of
the matter and that no hasty
decisions should be reached. A
faculty committee is now mak-

INDIRECT AID GIVEN TO
FARMERS BY SWAIN HALL
For some time in the past,
Swain Hall has been helping the
farmers indirectly by obtaining
their butter from local creamer
ies. Among the creameries from
which Swain gets its butter are
the following: Durham Dairy
Products : Co., Pet Milk Co., of
Burlington, Mooresboro Cream
ery of Mooresboro, and the Ro
wan Creamery of Salisbury. The
milk for butter made by these
companies is obtained from the
farmers in their respective com
munities. i The Durham cream

NEW BUILDING IS
AB0UTC05IPLETE
Structure Is Finished With Ex
ception of Ceiling and Wall
Painting.
The new auditorium accord
ing to the architect, T. C. At
wood, is now complete with the
exception of the ceiling and wall
painting.
The purpose of delaying the
painting is to give theplaster-
ihg time to dry thoroughly, in
order that the final coat will
be better and more permanent.
When the plaster is perfect
ly dry, a much smoother and
finer coat of paint can be put on
than is possible now.
The architect also states that
the acoustic properties will be
less perfect at present because
of the wooden benehes used in
old Memorial hall. When the
building is equipped with, up
holstered seats, as it was design
ed, the acoustics will be correct
ed. The designer of the acoustics
for the auditorium, Professor
Sabine, one of the nation's most
outstanding authorities on the
subject, figured on the basis of
upholstered seats, Mr. Atwood
said yesterday.-
When the auditorium is well
filled little difference will be
noticed, but with only a small
audience there may be some re
verberation. When other seats
are installed this will disappear.
