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

PRESIDENT IN INITIAL
RADIO BROADCAST
The übiquitous President of V. et
Georgia, Irvine S. 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.
