Public Administration School Will Train Students For Office-Holding -O : Dr. Walter C. Jackson, Former Head of North Carolina College For Women Appointed by Board of Trustees to Head New Department Installed in University. The school of public admin istration, newest of the Univer sity schools, is founded on the conviction that governmental of ficials require a definite scholas tic preparation for their respon sibilities. As an instrument of the state university, it aims to serve the state by training fu ture office-holders of North Car olina and the nation. When the board of trustees decided last June to create this graduate school at. the Univer sity, it appointed Dr. Walter Clinton Jackson, vice-president of North Carolina College for Women, as dean of the then theoretical school of public ad ministration. Dr. Jackson im mediately made a survey of the courses offered by the Univer sity and formulated a plan of study for his school. Course of Study But one new course has been organized for the school, that in Public administration, which is offered by Dr. Jackson in the winter quarter. The balance of the courses are to be had else where in the University. De partments which are now con tributing subjects to the new school include psychology, com "Y" DELEGATES GO TO HI-Y CONGRESS Governor Gardner, Senator Bailey, And President Graham to Speak At Meet in Raleigh. Almost a score of delegates from the University of North Carolina will attend the Caro lina's Hi-Y congress beginning today at Raleigh. The delegation will be headed by Ed Lanier, self-help secre tary, Harry F. Comer, general secretary of the "Y," and Bill McKee, president of the "Y." The majority of the delega tion comes from the Freshman Friendship Council with eight delegates and two advisors. Many interesting speakers have been engaged for the two day session by Lex Kluttz, gen eral secretary of the Raleigh "Y,"-and Herbert Upchurch of Raleigh president of the con gress. Among them will be Sena tor Josiah William Bailey, Gov ernor O. Max Gardner, and Dr. Frank P. Graham, president of the University. In the two day session many problems concerning Y. M. C. A. work will be discussed.

Scouts to Meet The Chapel Hill and Carrboro troops of the Boy Scouts of America will assemble at a Court of Honor in Gerrard hall Friday night, October 14, at 7:30. merce and economics, sociology, rural-social economics, engineer ing, government, and law. These courses are, in the main, deliv ered by professors already asso ciated with the University. Thus, the school, consists in reality of a careful selection and coordination of many types of study, all of which are necessary to the instruction of public ad ministration. As the school de velops in importance and size, it is expected that other courses will be added to the curriculum. School's Purpose Dean Jackson justified the school's existence by stating "The reason that so many gov ernmental officials fail in their tasks lies not in the fundamental dishonesty of all politicians, but rather in the fact that most men are elected to administrate an office the duties of which they are quite ignorant." Therein is the purpose of the new school: to train competent, intelligent men to perform public duties ef ficiently. The establishment of this school places the University in company with eight other uni versities who maintain such an (Continued on last page) I ' - 1 i. .i GROVES HAS NEW BOOK Ml PRESS Dr. Ernest R.

Odum, also of the University, is the editor. ' For College Students The new volume is intended primarily for college men and women, and it attempts to an swer the many pertinent ques tions that are-so often asked by young people, those questions about marriage and family life. The book is in a large measure an outgrowth of conferences and researches in. connection with the course on marriage and the family given especially for sen iors here in the University, and is also an outgrowth of Profes sor Groves' researches in the in stitute for research in social science. The opening chapter of the new publication deals with the social changes influencing mar riage and the family, and gives some very interesting1 informa- jtion in regard to the change of motives, amount of family life, family relationships, and social attitudes. The correlation of science and marriage is dis cussed in the following chapter (Continued on page three) BAGBY ADDRESSES FRESHMEN UPON JIABITS OF STUDY Dr. English Bagby Says Students Must Decide Question of Outside Activities. Dr. English Bagby of the psy chology department, addressing freshman assembly yesterday on "The Methods of Study," de clared that the majority of fail ures were due to lack of study and tnat the probable reason for not studying was the lack of in terest in the work. The stu dent, he said, is not in a position to judge what is doing him good and what is not and for this rea son should do his best in what he is taking. The student can always find a place i of quiet to study at the library if his room-mate is a saxophone player, he said, and should never use this as an ex cuse for not studying. Dr. Bagby stressed the distri bution of time in studying. He said that only one-fourth of the time should be spent in reading the assignment and three fourths of the time should be spent in recitation. The time just before class should be spent in studying. He said that fiye minutes studying at this time was worth ten at another time because the thing learned is fresh in the mind. Math Hardest The mathematics course, which most freshmen consider the hardest, should be studied excessively at first to get a good foundation. The foundation in math tends to make it easier , (Continued on last page) j KOCH AND BOGGS TO ATTEND FAIR University Professors Invited by Cherokee Indians to Attend Annual Tribe Fair. Professor F. H. Koch, director of the Playmakers, and Ralph S. Boggs, professor of folklore in the department of romance lan guages, left yesterday afternoon to attend the Cherokee Indian Fair which is being conducted October 4, 5, 6, and 7 at the Cherokee Reservation on the edge of the Great Smoky moun tains. At this fair there will be dis played samples of their arts and handicrafts, and besides these and other exhibitions the Chero kees will play their own native Indian ball game from which the American sport of lacrosse evolved. Koch Presented Mask On his visit to this annual harvest festival of the Chero kees, Koch will extend a formal invitation to the Cherokees to bring to Chapel Hill their color ful Green Corn dance. He has visited this reservation before and on his last trip was present ed with an ancient wooden mask carved from the trunk of a pop lar tree and used for many years in their dramatic dance cere monials. He has added the Cherokee mask to the dramatic museum in his office. In 1927 when a group of. Hopi Indians came to Chapel Hill on an educational mission to demon strate their celebrated Snake Dance, Professor Koch was hon ored by being adopted by them into the Hopi tribe. Since that time Mr. Koch has visited the Hopi reservation in New Mexico several times on his way to Cali fornia.

Teachers Urged To Abstain From Drinking, Smoking, Or Card-Playing r O Article Appearing in October Issue of the "High School Journal" By George Howard and J. S. Fleming Says School Superintendents Desire Model Teachers. o Teachers going into certain districts of the state will be wise to abstain from drinking, smok ing, dancing and card-playing if they wish to hold their position. This information is the result of inquiry blanks sent to 195 sup erintendents of county and spe cial charter school systems by George Howard, professor in the University education school and J. S. Fleming, superintendent of Warsaw schools. Their findings have been compiled and pub lished as an article, "Adminis trative Practices Applying to the Selection of Teachers in- North Carolina Public5 Schools,"' ap pearing in the October issue of The High School Journal. The facts secured pertained to educational requirements, ex perience requirements, employ ment of married as teachers, home talent, age of teachers, church membership, the advisa bility of employing teachers who dance, smoke or play cards, and the form of application. Varied Regulations The article reyeals a wide di vergence of opinion on these points. However,, the majority of the answers showed that a liberal attitude was directed to WILLIAMS PAINTS DARK PICTURE IN KIWANBADDRESS Dr. Horace Williams Makes Strong Plea for Sanen Inter national Relations. Pleaing for international vis ion and good-will, Dr. Horace Williams, professor of philoso phy of the University, yesterday addressedthe Durham Kiwanis club at their morning luncheon. "There is no place in modern life and civilization for war reparations and the sooner the United States comes to the con clusion that international debts must be forgotten the quicker the nation will recover from present distressing conditions," he -said. He told of conditions existing in various countries of the world because of the World War and of staggering debts under which they are laboring. He offered the soft-pedaling of reparation efforts as . the pana cea for the condition. The place the United States has held since the war was dis cussed by Dr. Williams, in com paring the changeof the na tion's status before that great conflict. Whereas prior to the war this country was paying 34,000,000 pounds to England annually in the curtailment of her debts. Great Britain has since the war paid 200,000,000 pounds annually in interest to this country. The picture presented of Eng land was one of bankruptcy. Her people are taxed anywhere from twenty-five to ninety per cent on their property. The fact that such a great country should go off of the gold standard was of fered by Dr. Williams as evi dence of the seriousness of the situation. The condition of America was stated as that of business chan nels clogged up with no hope of circulation until the trouble is removed. Every nation, he said, (Continued on page three) ward the teachers. Most of the systems will employ married women as new teachers. Local residents are preferred in a large number of county systems, but are not so favored in the special charter division. Only a small percentage of schools have any maximum age requirement1 for new teachers. Church membership of instruc tors is not considered in many systems, while a slight number forbid dancing. Few maintain rules prohibiting smoking or card-playing. Replies to the questionnaire furnish ample evidence of the varying limitations placed upon members of the public school fa culties. The subject of marriage brought from one superintend ent the statement, "Qualifica tions being equal, probably it would be expedient to select as new teachers those who are un married." In the teacher's con tract of one of the leading cities of the state is written: "Your marriage will automatically can cel the provisions of this, con tract."
