New Plan of Work at
Chapel Hill Increasing
Interest and Raising
Standards
Chapi Hilii N, (i, Jdly lfcth
The atmosphere of the State Stilti
mer School thisr year is decided
ly different from that of previous
years. There 'is a greater spirit
of earnestness and an increased
disposition on the part of the av
erage Buninierite to do conscieu
tious, thorough work.
The cause of this, undoubted
ly, is the innovation of offering
courses giving university credit.
FoY the first time, since its foun
dation under Dr. Battle, in 1877
this is so.
Credit was offered with the
iplea of giving teachers, and oth
ers limited in time, a chauce to
fecffre a degree, when otherwise
they probably would not be able
to do 60. kp;' BUI1 ":J
About 75 have registered for
credit work, over half of them
being university men. The pres
ence of these persons in class
adds a steadying influence, not
only to that clasa but to the
whole curriculum.
Undoubtedly this feature will
be continued antf "enlarged next
year. As it become better known
and ins advantages appreciated,
it will grow in popularity. The
addition of this feature will In
fluence markedly the trend of
the whole summer school future.
We are seeing - history made
here in our midst and its inter
pretation is, Better Education
for the State." We are becom
ing a better workshop for the
training of life architects.

Klamage to crops, especially
corn.
Kesidents of the Bection affect

and said that within a half hour
raiu fell in larger amount than
seen in that section in many
years and corn was swept to the
ground by the force of the wiud.
Also a queer prank of the

PTflnii.leH nf this on'ln Homo
time, was the success of the Mid
Summer Clearance Sale of the
popular Womans Wear Store of
the M., Leigh. Sheep Company
which was heM this week.
Wednesday, the first day of
the sale the tired but happy sales
ladies reported the busiest and
most successful sale that this
store had ever experienced; and
.the business has kept up all this
week.
The success of this sale was
due partly, to being thoroughly
advertised, but no doubtL the
true reason for this huge throng
coming out to attend this sale,
notwithstanding hot weatner,
was due to the reputation of
Honest Advertising, and square
dealing which this store has es
-tablished.
This sale will continue all next
week every woman who can,
will find it to her advantage to
investigate the offerings of this
popular store.
Every word of their advertis
ing can be relied upon. Noth
