GEORGIA PROFS
ATTEND MEETING
IN ATEANTA
Discuss Many Subjects Relative
to Colleges and High Schools.
In the annual conference of the
“Association of Georgia Colleges”
held in Atlanta last Saturday the
following men represented the Uni
versity of Georgia. Dean Charles M.
Snelling. Dr. L. L. Hendren. Dr.
Thomas J. Woofter, Dr. J. S. Stew
art, and Dr. W. D. Hooper. The
program was given to the discussion
of general educational problems.
The main topics presented were:
“The type of Latin best adapted to
our high school courses;” “The com
ing of the Junior College,” and the
"Present system of certification from
high schools.”
Dr. Peyton Jacobs, of Mercer Uni
versity, presented a paper contend
ing that since the vast majority of
high school students continue Latin
only one year, the content of that
subject should look more to the
study of Latin which would prepare
an English vocabulary, rather than
to prepare for Caesar and higher
books. This paper brought forth a
great deal of comment and discus
sion; Dr. Hooper being chosen to
give a brief rebutal. In this reply
Dr. Hooper gave a brief statement
of his opinion, and held more to the
old idea of the cultural and discip
linary value attached to the study
of Latin.
Probably the most interesting part
of the program was that including
the reading of a paper by Dr. L. L.
Hendren on the present status of
the Junior College and its discussion.
It was contended that the Junior
College is a necessary institution;
but that dangers must be avoided
through proper standards enforced,
so as not to permit any weak, and
therefore harmful colleges.
The last part of the meeting was
given over to the business of the as
sociation. It was in this connection
that the topic of admission of high
school students through the present
system of certification; and to what
