The Very Idea! By BURTON E. SnooK The influx of high school studen., always a cheery sight, has not lost its flavor as is evidenced by the amount of interest which has been taken in the activities of our visitors. Carolina stu dents now feel that High School week is as much a University activity as the regularschool work, and certainly mo:" agreeable than some of the ro; tine work. High school stu:lents who are pla:.::ing to go to college next year might do well to look over Carolina ar.d invest gate its curriculum, its social advantages, and its varied extra-curricula opportuni ties. Carolina has much to offer. The University hopes to welcome many of the presel.t visitors next fall students. * * * * * * * * The writer's theory that open poli t:cs should be introduced on the can pus seems not to have been received with much favor if the freshman elec tion is to be taken as indicative of he trend of campus thought. While somewhat disappointed that open politics were not introduced at this election, I cannot but congratulate the class on its choice of president. A leader in several lines of student acti vities and the possessor of ' a great deal of wit and discrimination, he should be a credit to the Vass which has elected him. * * * * * * * * The response of the campus to the lxtension department's request for rooms for the visiting high school stu dents has been very gratifying and has greatly helped those in charge. The fact that no appropriation was made by the legislature for the con ducting of High School week has pre sented almost insurmountable obstacles to the Extension department and the successful handling of the situation re flects much credit or. )r. Babcock and his all too few assistants. Incidentally it might be remarked that the Extension department is run ning on exactly nothirg per year and is 'terformting a great service for the state. The only danger in the economical runnirg of the depart n+ent is that the gentlemen who hold the strings of the money bags might conclude that soni other departments of the Universit. might be run on the same basis. Carried to its conclusion, this coursc might eventually mean free educatior on a scale never before attempted maybe, just maybe. STAGE SOCIETY PRESENTS LITTLE FOLKS PLAM (Continued from page one) at the Town Theater this year and im one of the most appealing production presented. It is indeed surprising ho children of that age could( perfect th( dances and pantoine as they did. The Ballet is as follows: In a to mtart are many marvels of mechanica diolls.

So, when gentleman, his wife and dlaughter comn litto the shop they are pleased wvit1 the fairy dolls and choose one of thenm The shop keeper insists that thtey tak both of them but to no avail. Very soon the' ladly comies back ti the shop andl very' indignantly inforn the shop keeper that (loll is out of fix Tie then tells her that the pair o dIolls was mlade so rearly like livini creatuires and that their hearts ar brtoken b)y the separation. The lad> agrees to buy bo0th of them and th dolls are- found to b)e again ill perfec order and .they (lance beatutifully a bhef ore. Part II is a scene of revelry.

Dear Sirs: I am a prodigal son. I began pipe-smoking with Edge worth. But after a while I began to wander, trying other tobaccos, experi menting to see if there were any better tobacco for the pipe. I have tried most of the best known brands and a number of the more ob scure, both imported and domestic, but they didn't suit. So now I have returned -I am using Edgeworth again, satisfied that no better tobacco is made. "And the prodigal son partook of the fatted calf"; I bought a new pipe when I returned to Edgeworth.
