Only a minority can claim to any de gree of self-cultivation after their four years’ exposure to the higher principles of learning. Os necessity the amount of ground to ibe covered in those years makes it impossible for any except the most scholarly to acquire a first-class education. Most professors admit that a college edu cation can do little more than awak en a desire for further knowledge, a desire to be satisfield in succeeding years. Faculty More Optimistic Faculty members, themselves, when they write of the college student, or discuss him, are more optimistic con cerning his intelligence and educa tion than i s tne student, one finds. The representative collegian today places as much value on extra-cur. ricular activities aij on classroom work. Among those interviewed were the editors of the campus publications at all four schools, heads of student government organizations, members of whom looked upon their outside interests as an important part of their education. Judging by those who comprised this group, their combination of campus and classroom activities had made them the more alert, poised and self-sufficient. A “Flop Conference” One co-ed at Cornell, active in stu dent government there, when discuss ing a recent student conference with Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, gave a significant summary of the session in these words: “Someone asked (Mrs. Roosevelt how to go about a political career. She tolcT us that politics was not a career and that election to office was the reward of merit. The whole con ference was along the line and was a complete flop.” In considering the practical value of college or university degree, the nature of the school itself is an im portant factor. iSokne ( institutions place greater emphasis on cultural values while others stress the voca tional content of the curriculum. An interesting sidelight on the varied aim s of different schools came from an official at the University of Pittsburgh who, while reviewing the achievements of the institution, men tioned with pride the fact that acer. tain endowment for research had made possible the fabrication of a more adible skin for wieners.

HENDERSON, (N. 0.) DAILY DISPATCH, TUESDAY, JUNE 25, J 935 Heads of State Institutions to Meet Tomorrow In the Sir tVniter Hotel. DnllT Diaonteh Korean. BY .1. C. BASKERVILL, Raleigh, June 25—A meetnig of all the superintendents of the various state correctional institutions and of the Caswell Training School for feeble minded children, will be held in the office of R. Eugene Brown, director of institutions for the State Depart ment of Public Welfare, Wednesday morning at 10:30 o’clock, he announc ed today. This will be the second regular quarterly meeting of the heads of these institutions at which problems relating to delinquency and methods of dealing with problem children are discussed. At this meeting tomor row, Commissioner of Paroles Edwin M. Gill is expected to outline the new parole law, especially as it applies to the paroling of boys and girls in State correctional institutions. Mrs. W. T. Bost, commissioner of public welfare, is also expected to be present at the conference. The superintendents of the follow ing institutions are exxpected to at tend: The Farm Colony' for Women, near Kinston; The Caswell Training School, Kinston; The Stone.wall Jack son Training School for Boys, Concord The Eastern Carolina Training'School Rocky Mount; The State Industrial and Training School for Girls. Samar cand and the Morrison Training School for Negro Boys. Liquor Flares As Statewide Issue (Continued from Fage one.) follow the path of least insistence and not take any sides at all. Temporary restraining orders have been obtained in Warren, Vance, Franklin and Beaufort counties It is expected that Judge Williams will rule on the Franklin county petition for a permanent injunction either to day or tomorrow. But in view of the fact that only ten per cent of the voters in Wilson and Edgecombe* counties indicated opposition to tht> liquor control stores plan and with indications that sentiment in the other counties is just as strong for liquor stores and liquor control as in these two, many doubt whether the various judges (before whom injunc tion petitions are pending will decide to grant permanent orders and pre vent the people in these other coun ties from going to the polls and vot ing their preferences. The prevailing opinion in legal and political circles here is that there are no legal grounds for granting an in junction against the holding of these elections and that »he dry forlces should wait until after the elections aie held and then seek to enjoin the opening of the liquor stores. For the best legal authorities maintain that the drys can seek to enjoin the set ting up of liquor stores, even in coun ties which have voted for the liquor control plan, on the grounds that to do is illegal and an unwarranted ex penditure of public money. Failing in this, they could then have recourse to the Turlington Act and make arrests of operators of county stores or of purchases from county stores on the grounds that the new liquor stores are illegal and that the Turlington Act is still in effect. Reports here from Wilson and Edgecombe counties are to the effect that no efforts will be made in them to prevent the opening of liquor stores although Cale K. Burgess, generalis simo of the United Dry Forces, told this correspondent that he under, stood that an application for an in junction would be brought in both counties at an early date to prevent the opening of any liquor stores. He said that if such moves were made, they would be made Iby local drys within those counties and not by the United Dry Forces. y If the various petitions for perma nent injunctions are denied and the counties go ahead and hold liquor elections and vote to set up county liquor stores and county liquor eon- Clara Visits Mother :; '4 w||bP i§* Jpr Jj jH | % < / SVvi-' ?

NORGE GAS AND ELECTRIC RANGES which any counties that want to may vote to have liquor stores, it is agreed here But ther ecent General Assem bly—or the Senate, rather—refused to pass a Statewide law of this nature because a few wet-drinking, dry-vot ing senators feared the political ef fects of such a law in the Piedmont and western counties. As a result, tho present patch.work liquor law was passed as a last resort. But if all these 18 counties go wet, and with wet sentiment conceded to be increasing over the entire State, some think enough pressure may be brought to bear to bring about a spe cial session to enact a Statewide law Harrison Outlines Proposed Levy On Fortunes of Rich (Continued from rag© One.) said, would begin on net inheritances of albout $300,000, under the tenta tive program mapped out by the ex perts.
