CALLCOTT TALKS ABOUT MEXICO Outlines New National Educational System to Euphrosynean Literary Society Mexico, and the new national educational system which has been installed there, was the subject of the talk made by Professor Callcott Wednesday afternoon at the Euphrosynean Literary socienty meeting in the Euphradian hall. Professor Callcott, who has spent much time studying the situation in Mexico, and who has published a book on "The Church in Mexico, 1822-57," gave an entertaining account of some interesting points that he found while traveling in Mexico. 'Mexico is a country of contradiction," Professor Collcott stated, "not only socially and climateically, but educationally as well." He went on to describe the astonishing educational system in Mexico, which includes national universities containing 10,000 students; normal schools which are scattered^ver the nation and which stress manual training, domestic science, home art, and education. Professor Callcott found that attendance is no problem to Mexican school masters, who are worried as to where to put the many eager searchers for knowledge. Among the average people who make up the student bodies in Mexico, Professor Callcott found an immense lack of racial prejudice, which he assigns to the tremendous variety of races that make up Mexico. u. s. c. An orator, warming to his t^sk, took off his coat, which rather disconcerted one of the stewards of the meeting, who thought that a reporter would make a sensation out ol: the incident. Toward the close, he said to the speaker: "I don't suppose you knew, when you removed your coat, that a newspaper man was present?" "Yes, I did," was the reply. "I kept my eye on the coat all the time." f , " V VI\ WALSH TO STUDY " AT OHIO COLLEGE Psychology Instructor Granted a Leave of Absence for Year Professor Merrick Kershaw Walsh, who is completing his fifth year as instructor of psychology at the University of South Carolina, has been granted a leave of absence for one year, to take effect at the close of the present term in June.

Patterson, Jr., of Jacksonville, Fla., i is asking the Board of Trustees to issue a < diploma to his father, Giles J. Patterson, i who died in 1891, and who would have graduated in the class of 1848 had he ; not refused to render the customary ora- i tion required of seniors. i His father entered South Carolina College, now the University, in the fall of 1845, according to Giles Patterson, Jr. He completed all the work necessary for a diploma, and stood eighth in his class, but the trustees rejected his application for a diploma after he had successfully passed his final examinations, because he told them he would not give the required oration. It was in the period of Calhoun, when oratory was highly prized, and the faculty said his education was not complete. He left without a diploma. / The son feels his father was entitled to his degree after meeting the academic requirements, and ho would accept it for his father even at this late date. The present Board of Trustees does not care to reverse the decision of their predecessors of 1848, but are gathering more information concerning the case, with the aid of Dr. E. L. Green of the University. They will act on the request at the next meeting, which will be in a month. u. s. c. Mrs. Chase: You say your new secretary is young and willing? Jack: Well, she's not so young. Judge: Heyl Don't you sec that 'No Parking' sign? John White: Aw, I don't believe in signs.
