YESTERDAY* By Barthur Risbane jfo one seems to enjoy summer 8( ,hool more than Mr. Ingram, with a , ]u b formod at his table at the dining ]lfl ]l nnj d him the ring leader in all the ,11,1. There have been fishing parties M . liere Mr. Roborts wore Sunday clothes :ind got mud spattered on them, picnics ! inf l other outings. Some people might think Mr. Ingram is just trying to en tertain the new teachers but anyone who watches him knows that ho’s hav ing the time of his life. He is due a little relaxation after such a strenu ous and one might truthfullly say, successful year. Dean W. Fred Gunn and State Super* visor and Mrs. L. L. Perry left Fri day, June 29, for Washington, D. C., to attend the N. E. A- convention thev( this week. Mr. Gunn will represent West Georgia and Mr. Perry both West Georgia Oollege and the public schools of Northwest Georgia. Every one knows Miss Eberhart by now for her good humor and inex haustible energy. She and Miss Jen kins are very efficiently directing the Wednesday night socials. No one could quite get the low-down on what the faculty was discussing this week-end in the dining hall but it seemed that A!iss Eberhart was looking for some one bv the name of Fred. The indefatigable Miss St. Glair has become self conscious about always reaching the idoor first leaving the dining hall. Consequently now when she reaches it first she stands and waits until someone precedes her. We are betting it won’t ever be Miss Weaver, whose distinctly southern ease in getting about is quite a contrast to her roommate’s speed. If the students are as assiduous in their work as Mr- Watson and some of the other young faculty members are in their play, West Georgia’s sum crop should turn n o+ orno very enviable records- He is almost always seen in the afternoon rubbing his eyes from the nap with a pair of trunks and a towel under his arm. Mr. Hart seems strangely forlorn these days. It may be the summer heat has got the best of him or per haps his classes are larger and more unwieldly than usual. It may be neither of the above things causing his restlessness, but we shan’t venture to guess any further. * The friends of Monsieur Strozier will be glad to hear o T his giving up his French department to become housemother. Miss Ward and Mrs. Strozier must share the honor of “ keeping the flock together” with the former French professor. Since taking up his new duties he has man aged to meet a few French classes (as a recreation), but his chief work is to keep the boys in the dormitory away from “no man’s land” mud to keep the young school teachers in the dor mitory from saying “come up to see me sometime.” So far, so good, but here’s hoping he will mak© a “come back” and teach French next year. Norwood Floyd’s name was called at the picture show on hank night when he would have received seventy five dollars. Another reason to prove that it pays to go to West Georgia. Ossie and Lowell are about the only ones of the old guard left. However, Render Rowe, Barßjsdale, Hicks, Woods (both kinds, little and big) and a few* others are trying to carry on the traditions from the past year. One still sees Chick and Bobby and some of the town hoys around, al though. they aren’t in school this sum mer. We’ve heard of pole sitting contests, skating marathons and other such marathons, but we’ll venture to say that if someone started a piano play lng marathon Anderson would win it the greatest ease.

HISTORY CLASS HOLDS MOCK CONVENTION One of the interesting features in the history 1 class during the spring quarter was a mock constitutional con vention, in which many interesting changes in Georgia’s present constitu tion were worked otvt. Some of the mor,> important changes suggested by the convention were: (1) an unicameral legislative body, (2) legislative term of 4 years, (3) governor’s term of of fice for four years, (4) centralization of executive departments, (5) creation of u civil service commission, (6) re organization of the state courts with a longer and more secure tenure for the judges, (7) reorganization of the de partment, of education, taking the elec tion of the state superintendent of schools and county superintendents out of the hands of the people and putting election into the hand3 of state and county boards, (8) reduction of the number of county administrative units to not more than eighty and requiring county budgets yearly, (9) recall of state and county officers, (10) the abolition of the general property tax as a state-wide tax and levying it ex clusively in the hands of local units of government. The brunt of the work fell upon committees who planned and steered the provisions through the convention. The chairmen of each of the commit tees were as follows: Legislative, James Puckett; Executive, Roy Rodg ers; Judicial, Angoline Griffin; Polit ical and Civil Rights, Virginia Lam bert; Taxation, C. B. Knight; Social Institutions, Mary Smith; County Re lations, Dovce Williamson; Corpora tions and Municipalities, M. L.

Ingram, lias recent ly added a now laurel to the many he has already gained in the field of pub lie speaking. The new adventure was a radio speech delivered from Atlanta over WSB in connection with the Na tional League of District Postmasters held at the Henry Grady hotel June 18. Those who heard the speech assured Air. Ingram that he has the makings of another Graham McNamec, having the same clear, clean-cut pronunciation of all his words. Pooplo arc quite likely to forget that Air. Ingram is both college president and postmaster of the station of Ge noln. However, as a member of this rssoeiation he delivered a paper at the morning session entitled “ l’he Post master Asa First Citizen of His Com munity”. MISS HARPER DIRECTS THE PRACTICE SCHOOL The practice school of West Georgia College is located at Maple Street School. It is being conducted under the able supervision of Miss Harper in the primary department. Aliss Harper has done work in tlih same field at G. S. C. AV. Alias Ivuth Jordan of Dalton has charge of the intermediate department. She has also been affiliated with G. S. C. W. and is continuing to prove very successful in this type of work. These critic teach ers are being assisted by our West Georgia graduates of this year. Mis3 Emma Lou Bell, M’iss Christine Du proo, tend Aliss Ruth JCown ate work ing with Miss Harper in the primary department and Aliss Elizabeth Hol brook is assiting M’iss Jordan in the intermediate grades. There are sixty pupils who are at tending the Summer School at Maple- Street. These pupils are from both the city schools. Their work in the Summer school will enable them to re sunie work in thoir regular class or strengthen thorn in special subjects. The Primary department has choseu ai its project a play house and fur nishings. The entire work is being dono by the pupils. This furnishes a subject for study and teaches the pu pils the lesson of group work. The most interesting project in the upper grades is the Geography and History class. These have been combined and correlated. The pupils are now work ing on posters representing Egypt and , Greece. The West Georgia students are tak ing education courses from the obser vation class. The practice school is opon to observation at any time be tween eight and twelve. The school has now a definite schedule and the observers see how a teacher meets problems in a real school situation.

DEAN GUNN MAKES FINE CHAPEL SPEECH Among the many interesting talks made at chapel during the present session of summer school, none has been more interesting or vital than that made by Air. Gunn, Dean of West Georgia, last, Wednesday. Mr. Gunn chose as his topic a passage of scrip ture from the fifth chapter of First Thessalonians, “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil.” MV... Gunn’s message was especially directed to the teachers of the pri mary grades. He spoke of the un pleasant, aspect of a situation exist ing today, when a man like Dillinger receives the interest, and sometimes even the admiration of the mob. Mr. Gunn laid at the teachers’ door the re sponsibility for the moulding of the opinions of their students. He said that one must practice honesty in ev ery phase of life in order to he effec tive in teaching. The message was of double impor tance because of the work Mr. Gunn lias done and is doing continually to raise both the scholastic and moral tone of the teachers of the western section of Georgia. The attention of the state at large has been called to iiis idea of selecting those of the nor mal department who go with the rec ommendation of Wost Georgia Oollege as teachers. If he accomplishes this aim, he will have made a very roal step towards the raising of education al standards in our state. MRS. HARMAN RESIGNS AFTER SEVEN YEARS The best wishes of the entire fac ulty and student body of West Geor gia College go with Mrs. Zelma Barr Harman as she resigns her position July Ist after having been Mr. In gram ’s secretary for the past seven years. Airs. Harman has also assisted Mr. Tngram in his work as postmaster of Genola. Before becoming secretary here she graduated from the Fourth District A. and M. With the exception of ATr. and Airs. Ingram and Mr. Bon ner she has been here longer than any one on the campus. Mrs. Harman's sunny disposition and pleasant smile will be missed by all the students. She has been pop ular among all of them and the recip ient of many confidences. Mrs. Harman asked the editors to tell anyone looking for her after Julv ■•st that she will be on the front porch of her home near Bowdon, rocking, reading and probably eating peaehea. NUMBER 9
