Tuesday, July 24, Will Bring
End of First Summer Session
GREAT SUCCESS
Students Have Had Unusual Oppor-tunity
in way of Lecturers
and Instructors
SPLENDID SPIRIT SHOWN
The first summer session will close
Tuesday, July 24, following the larg-est
and one of the most successful
sessions in the history of the North
Carolina College summer schools.
The enrollment, which has reached
well over a thousand, includes stu-dents
from practically every county
in the state and from a large number
of other states. The fact that this
summer initiates the two-term sum-mer
school has in no way impaired
the success of the first term. At the
university the attendance has fallen
off with the adoption of this plan,
but here there has been a gain of a
hundred students if the number who
were last year enrolled for county
institute work, a feature which has
been abolished this year, is sub-tracted.
While this has been the largest
summer session, it has, in many re-spects,
also been the best Those in
authority consider themselves un-usually
fortunate in the faculty they
have been able to secure, and declare
that they have the very best. Num-bers
of students have been to Mr.
Cook expressing their appreciation
for the courses they have had, and
for the instructors under whom they
have had the opportunity of having
work.
The students have had unusually
splendid opportunity of hearing
prominent lecturers, who have
brought them inspiration as well as

CIVIC ORCHESTRA TO
GIVE CONCERT FRIDAY
Orchestra From Winston-Salem
Under Direction -of Mr.
Breech
On next Friday night, July 20, the
Civic Orchestra of Winston-Salem
will give a concert in the college
auditorium. Mr. Breech, director of
community and public school music
of Winston-Salem, will conduct. This
is a rare opportunity for North Caro-linians
to hear an orchestra which
has been playing in Winston-Salem
four nights a week, and which is
made up of men gathered from all
parts of the country.
Those who have charge of secur-ing
the orchestra for this perform-ance
consider that the college com-munity
is peculiarly fortunate in be-ing
able to have them come, and they
hope that the students will avail
themselves of the opportunity of
hearing this orchestra which is doing
such an outstanding piece of work
in the state.
Their appearance here is the
second out of town engagement,
their concert at Chapel Hill Wednes-day
having been the first.
Mr. Breech is bringing with him
one of their very best soloists, an
appearance made possible by the fact
that they are having at their Civic
Summer School of Music artist stu-dents
from many parts of the coun-try.
In order that the expenses of the
orchestra may be defrayed it is nec-essary
to charge the small sum of
fifty cents for admission.
Carnival Offering Wide Variety of Fun
and Entertainment is to be Held Tonight
At eight o'clock tonight with care-free
fun, with joyous laughter, with
wild excitement the Carnival will be-gin,
and for two hours or more
South Spencer lawn will be the scene
of a happy, good time when the stu-dents
and faculty gather for the best
time of the summer session.
The parade, in which all rhose who
are going to be in the various fea-tures
of the carnival ire usked to
take part, will begin at the Y. W.
C. A. Hut and proceed along College
Avenue to the show grounds. All
of South Spencer lawn from the
avenue to Woman's Building will be
used for the stage performances and
side shows. The grounds will be
lighted and decorated in true carni-val
style.
The big features of the carnival
will be held on a stage which will
be erected in the open. At various
times during the evening some per-formance
will be taking place on
this stage. The opening feature will
be a circus, which is likely to prove
a "regular" circus in more respects
than one. Following this will be a
chorus of fifty voices, and then the
Gypsies Festival which will include
a number of caracteristic gypsy ac-tivities.
The next in order will be a
group of Spanish songs, then a wild
west show, after which the "Strong
family will make its appearance
and furnish entertainment for the
crowd. A wax doll show, a silent or-chestra,
and a dancing feature are
other points of interest in the stage
performances. The last feature of
the evening will be the Minstrel show,
which is expected to be the prince
of such productions, A number of
men of the faculty and girls who
have had experience in entertain-ment
of this kind are in charge of
the show.
Besides these features there will
be a large number of side shows.
Booths will be arranged all along the
lawn to accomodate the world's speci-men
of wild animals, snakes and
freaks of all kinds. A hint as to
the nature of these shows them to
be of a superior quality regarding
interest, originality, and the surprise
element. The large number of shows
and stunts planned and the wide di-versity
of entertainment offered in
proof against a single dull moment.
Refreshments of a genuine carni-val
nature will be served during the
course of the evening.
CONVENTION VERSUS
PRIMARY DISCUSSED
Miss Elliott Discusses Merits and
Weaknesses of Each of These
Systems
N. C. COLLEGE ALUMNAE
TO PUBLISH COOK BOOK
On Monday night of this week
Miss Harriett Elliott conducted a
discussion of the primary and the •
convention and the relative merits
of each.
Miss Elliott stated that it is im-portant
and necessary to nominate
the right person, and that a few years
ago many men began to recognize
the fact that the convention was
controlled by the party machine and
did not really express the individual.
In the convention plan the terri-tory
is divided into precincts, coun-ties
and states, with the precinct
meeting, the county and state con-ventions,
each allowed to elect dele-gates.
The difficulty with this plan
is that every thing works into the
hands of the party leader, who
planned that party men should go to
the state convention. A "Slate" was
made out and run through. The
county conventions gradually formed
the habit of sending the same party
back year after year. Some of the
resulting evils were bribery and the
inability to get fresh men.
Precinct meetings were a farce
and were rarely attended. In this
connection Miss Elliott told of the
"famous Raleigh meeting" of a few
years ago, when the woman deter-mined
that the only way to elect
woman delegates was to attend the
precinct meeting, where they knew
the men would not be present. They
did this, forced the meeting to pro-ceed
in a parliamentary manner, and
elected women as delegates to the
state convention.
In the primary plan everyone
registers just as he doea for the
election, and any one who feels so
inclined can run for the nomination.
The objection which the party lead-ers
make to the primary is that it
splits the party, breaks the machin-ery,
is more expensive, and prevents
party compromise. In answer to
these arguments it can be said that
it is worth the split the party, the
break in machinery and increase in
the expenses because it insures indi-vidual
expression; in regard to the
compromise ideas the thought is ad-vanced
that the compromise at the
conventions is not real, but is some-thing
which has been planned by the
Recipes are pouring in on every
mail for the Alumnae Cook Book.
Two weeks ago Miss Byrd, Alumnae
Secretary, sent out letters to all the
alumna requesting their favorite rec-ipes
to go into the making of such
a book, and hundreds have already
been received.
Each alumna is privileged to send
her favorite recipe, and those who
have married are asked to send their
husbands' favorite recipes. Not only
are the alumnae contributing, but

MR. SWIFT DISCUSSES
GROWTHSOCIALWORK
Pays Tribute to Part Played by Dr.
MCITOT in Educational
Work
SOCIAL WORK IS NOW
A MATTER OF JUSTICE
Mr. Wiley H. Swift, chairman of
the national committee on investiga-tion
and legislation in child welfare
work, spoke at the chapel hour on
Wednesday, dealing with the differ-ent
steps in the development of social
work in North Carolina.
Within the last thirty years he
said that there had been three
stages in this development, the first
of which was the charity stage, which
he characterized as being helpful to
the giver, but not the best thing for
the receiver.
"Dr. Mclver did more than any
other man to push back charity as
the means of social service and sub-stitute
for it social service as a
means of upbuilding the state," de-clared
Mr. Swift. "He showed the
economic gain in education, espec-ially
of educating women, and showed
that in providing means for the edu-cation
and development of a girl
the state was serving itself more
than it was the individual girl."
This economic theory of social
service was also advocated by Alder-man
and Aycock the speaker said.
They taught that the way to build
a state was to train its boys and girls
into efficient economic agents. Mr.
Swift said that at the time he
did not approve of this doctrine
of advocating education and social
service solely on the ground of
the economic gain it would furnish,
but that he now saw that it was the
theory which the state was prepared
to receive.
The third stage in the development

"Hiawatha's Childhood"-
Other Programs of Amer-ican
Indian Music
The college chorus concert will be
given next Thursday evening at eight
o'clock. The chorus is composed of
sixty members and under the super-vision
of Miss Alice Bivins has been
working on "Hiawatha's Childhood"
by Bessie Whitely which will be given
at this time.
Mr. Benjamin Bates and Miss
Cleo J. Wales of Memphis, Tenn.,
are the soloists for the occasion and
Mr. George Thompson, organist, and
Miss Olive Chandley, pianist, are the
accompanists.
The evening's entertainment will
be based on American Indian music,
the themes for "Hiawatha's Child-hood"
all being original American
Indian tunes. In order to keep the
continuity of the evening the chorus
concert will be preceded by part one
of the program in which Mr. Thomp-son
will play some of Cadman and
Lieurance, both American composers
who have spent a large part of their
lives gathering Indian themes and
using these themes as a basis for
their music.
Mrs. E. C. Caldwell, one of Greens-boro's
leading contraltos will sing the
group of Cadman songs. To con-tinue
the life of Hiawatha Mr. Bates
will sing one of the solos from Cole-ridge
Taylor's "Hiawatha's Wedding
Feast"
The summer session students are
all urged to attend and grasp this
opportunity of familiarizing them-selves
with Indian music which is
truly American origin.
