Second Session, July 21.
Many Courses Added
andlmprovementsMade
The forty-second annual Summer School sessions will get underway at A. and T. College on June
9 and continue for two six weeks'
sessions, it was announced yesterday by Director of Summer
School, W. T. Gibbs. Registration
for the second session will begin
July 21.
The schedule, Dean Gibbs pointed out, will provide for more
courses this year than offered previously in a single session. It will
include a large number of courses
suitable for raising or renewing
teachers' certificates. In view of
the fact that the North Carolina
State Department of Public Instruction has extended the time for
teachers to secure Class A certificates until 1939, these courses
will be of great interest and advantage to many persons.
The regular college offerings
win De laiger ana more vaiicil.
These will include courses in agriculture, business administration,
home economics and vocations and
the sciences. They will be open
to teachers who are interested in
completing graduation requirements as well as students who
wish to earn college credits.
There will also be new courses
in physical and health education,
a special course on administration
of such institutions as the North
Carolina County Training School,
and one on the location and arrangement of the school buildings
and grounds. These courses are
designed especially to meet rural
conditions.
The regular college faculty and
a number of teachers who are experts in their special fields will be
in charge of the instruction.
The accommodations at the college have been greatly improved
during the present scholastic year
by the installation of a new cafeteria, making possible for persons
boarding on the campus to secure
meals according to their individual tastes.
More than eleven hundred students were enrolled in the two
sessions last Summer and judging- from the number of applications already received, these sessions will be even larger.

CIPA To Meet
At Hampton
March 25-aL
Goffney Will Present
Plaque To Stimulate
Better Journalism
Lawrence J. Goffney, former
business manager of THE REGISTER and founder of the Colored
Intercollegiate Press Association,
the first organization of its kind
among Negroes, has informed a
representative of the organization
that he will present a plaque to
the newspaper which has been
adjudged best at the annual convention of the C. I. P. A. at Hampton Institute, March 25 and 26.
The Goffney Plaque, as it will
be called, will be presented annually to the best college publication represented in the C. I. P. A.
and it is believed by its donor that
it will stimulate a higher type of
journalism among the various colleges.
The meeting of the Association
at Hampton will be the first meeting since its conception at A. and
T. last Spring and every institution represented is expected to
send delegates.
The program for the convention
has been made attractive and interesting by the selection of prominent journalists and educators to
take part in and lead many of the
discussions of the group.
The officers of the C. I. P. A.
are: President, Robert C. Grier,
at the time of his election, of
Hampton, now of Columbia University; Wiliam K. C. Lyles, vice-
president, Teachers' college, Winston-Salem; W. H. Gamble, Sec-
Treasurer and T. J. Sellers, Union
University, corresponding secretary.

Years.     Schedule Is
Announced
It has been said many, many,
too many times, that when a dog
bites a man, that is not news, but
when a man bites a dog, that is
news. That was true several
years ago, before the human publicity mongrels really went out
and started the science of dog biting.
Here is a story that is news:
The A. and T. College debating
team lost. Yes, really. Knoxville
College got a decision over them
in the first debate between the two
institutions on March 7 at Knoxville. The question was: "Resolved, That the National Labor
Relations Board Should Be Empowered to Enforce Arbitration of
All Industrial Disputes." And K.
C. defeated the best A. and T.
