lands off the Carolina coast, and
of his school days in Charleston
and Baltimore.
As a bachelor planter, he tells

forest into a profitable plantation
and gives a step-by-step account
of rice culture and harvesting.
A sportsman, Mr. Alston takes
the reader duck and deer hunting
on the Waccamaw Neck, fishing
on the Pee Dee River, and bird
hunting in the Appalachians.
He records his personal observa
tions of the destruction wrought
by Sherman's army and of the Re
construction days that followed.
Mrs. Childs is dean of women
and professor of history at the
university. She is editor of the
"Private Journal of Henry William
Ravenel" and co-editor of "Mason
Smith Family Letters."

From the days of chicken co<
raiding to the more recent pan,
raids, the pranks of Carolina st
dents have added color to its hi
tory, though the honor of some
them may bear questioning. It
evident that many of these pran1
resulted from the lack of sufficiei
outlets for the youth's exce
energies. The coming of sporl
student organizations, and oth
entertainments have lessened t]
prankishness.

In the old days, the fowl hous,
and gardens of professors we

Shortly after President Hen

the following morning, he notic4
several dogs suspended from oi

was a practice to march on Colum

Teachers Will
Meet Here
This Weekend
About 30 university field teach
ers will meet here this weekend
at the School of Education, W. H.
Ward, director of the Extension
Division, has announced. 4
The purpose of the reeting is to
discuss methods of improving the
training program for teachers
through extension work.
A feature of the program wi
be a lecture on reading by Dr.
Helen Robinson, director of the
Reading Clinic at the University
of Chicago. She will discuss ways
to cope with problems that arise
in teaching a person to read.
Field instructo'rs will have an
opportunity to talk with university
professors who are teaching the
courses that they are teaching
throughout the state.
A discussion of certificate re
newal requirements will be led by
S. C. Hawkins of the State pe
partment of Education.
Dr. W. H. Callcott, dean of the
graduate school, and Dean C. C.
Travelstead, dean of the School
of Education, will explain the
developing graduate program for
teachers, which will include a
doctorate in education.
Instructors will be asked to make
reports on the work that they have
been doing.
to attend chapel and often when
they (lid attend on April Fool's
Day, not a single student answered
when the roll was called. When
the chapel had wooden steps, it
was a favorite jest to remove them
and in concealment watch the fac
ulty devise a method to enter.
A plank was frequently employed
for this accomplishment.
At South Carolina College, the
professors undertook to catch the
instigators of monkeyshines. Per
haps, one of the most told is that
of Professor Francis Lieber. The
German-born professor fell over
a pile of bricks while giving chase
to a student who leaped byer
them. With bruised skins, he got
to his feet muttering, "Mien Got.
All dis for two tousant tollar,"
while the escapee chuckled in the
background.
