DR. WELLS SPEAKS
Continued from Page One
in the state are under pur in their ed
ucational requiremenU; -•’> per cent
of the rural teachers in the nation ure
in the same condition educationally.
There nro many teachers in these sec
tions that have little or no high school
training.
Dr. Wells says that he believes that
every teacher should have at least two
yeans of college work before he is al
lowed to teach. In the future the re
quirements should bo raised to four
years of college work.
Dr. Wells outlined a program that
he thought would be necessary for the
proper teacher tmiuing for the new
civilization. As to this subject matter:
thore should bo social science courses
to make the prospective teacher fa
miliar with the problems of the world,
especially with the problems that will
confront the people that ho will teach.
There should be science courses to
show the relationship of science to
this present day and ugo and show' how
the present economic situation is due
largely to scientific knowledge and
the lack of adjustment to this situa
tion.
There should be cultural courses
that would fill out the life of
the teacher so that he could give the
proper interpretation to art, beauty,
{minting, sculpture, and the like that,
ho will meet in his daily life. He
should be able to help his people to see
these things in their right light.
There should be courses that lead to
a more refined person. Instruction in
the “leisure arts’’ make a person more
able to pass his leisure time profita
bly, for himself as well as others.
Physical education should have a
very important part in tho new pro
gram. A teacher cannot be well round
ed or successful if he has not tho
health that will make him a person to
be depended on to hold out until tho
end. Physical education trains for
recreation if the proper type is given,
surh as the program of physical tsudoa
tion that is n<>v\ being offered at West
Georgia College.
Last, he said that the technique is
the most important phase of the teach
er training. “We know in order that
wo may do.” This is entirely in line
with tho methods courses that are
now being offered at tho college. The
child centered curriculum that the
teachers that are now in training for
will make the school of the future a
place of training citizens instead of
the old method of “fact-getting.’’
In a teacher training institution
there mirst be a democratic student
body and faculty. There is as much
gained from the students as there is
gained from tho instructors. The school
must be a co-operative enterprise be
fore ttfe teacher training school can
be successful in preparing teachers for
this new need in the schools of today.
1 In closing, Dr. Wells gave the well
known quotation frem Horace Mann:
“Let hot unskilled hands play upon a
harp that the music remains forever
in the strings,” showing that the teach
er must be well prepared to bring out
the hidden harmonies in the lives of
the people that lie will teach.
Cotton —What made you quit your
jobf
Kitchens —Well, the boss called me
in one day last week and said that he
was going to fire me. Then, he fired
me a couple of times. The next day
there was a man in my place; and then
I got mad. That was too much; I
handed in my resignation.
Rabbi —You say that you used to
make whaling trips with your father?
Alec P. —Yes; to the woodpile.
Norwood —I only say what I know.
Fanny' —Oh, one of those big, strong,
silent men! y'
Beverly —lf I am going to teach you
to play tennis, I’ll have to talk to you
like a brother.
Blanche —Oh, no, you won’t! I
wxm’t have any of your cussing.

EXAMINATION BONERS
Muny startling things were discov
cd by the instructors when they read
the mid-term exam papers. We really
have some budding theorists in West
Georgia College. Consider:
“English drama began in 400 B. C.
in Greece when they worshipped the
god Dionysus at Easter and Christ
mas.”
‘ ‘ The trancendentalists believed in
the Utopian Church and not the Trin
ity.”
“Pageants was a kind of drama that
the Trade Gills -went about the town
acting.”
“Next we have the church in the
shape of a cross where the angels and
monks dramatize the death of God.”
“ Trancendentalism was the belief
that the soul was born with an inert
knowledge.”
“ Disen tat ion on Roast Pig. ”
“Disitation on Roast Pig.”
“Disapation upon Roast Pig.”
“Arabaham and Issac.”
‘ ‘ Weather profit. ”
“Brook Farm was the birth place of
Shakespeare.”
(In tho early religious plays) “there
were three popes to represent the three
Marys and choirs to sing the words
of the angels.”
“Joseph Andrews was the man who
corrupted Haldeyburg.”
“An essay are usually short.”
“All verterbrates feed their young
by nursery glands.”
Some of the amazing spellings were:
cederabrated, supersittution, lititure,
resserection, selebration, winders, fis
ticious, blesson (blessing), pereue (pur
sue), stepts (steps), chareter, gard,
(guard), idear, ehnrecterazation.
Bill Brown described an old servant
in a French home as a housekeeper or
overseer that every French bachelor
kept, in his home to direct it and look
after his children.
Weaver —I’ve been waiting here a
whole hour for a hamburger.
Waiter —What would you like on it?
Weaver —My teeth.
THE WEST GEORGIAN
West Georgia Giants Defeat
Shorter Shorts, 2 1 /* To Narn
Through the courtesy of the Anti- j
Zilch Beer Corporation wo are able tu
bring you a play by play description
of the game between these heretofore
undefeated teams. The day is ideal
for football; the temperature is nigh
on to zero and the field is sweltering
under a blistering sun though rain is
beating steadily upon the field. Capt.
Gunn (dean to you) matched for
Shorter and they lost according to his
report. Everyone trusts the dean so
there was no argument.
FIRST QUARTER
Capt. Muko will kick off for Short
ers’ Shorts. The bull is kicked —a
beautiful one —und Otis, West Georgia
drawback, returns it six and seven
ighths inches, l’rof. Howell, Giant
quarterback is calling signals. “ Une
er-uh-cr-uh-ono-uh.” The Giants draw
a penalty for too much time. Prof.
Strozier ripped through the Shorts
and the Shorts call time out. Substi
tutions: Glue replaces Paste for Short
er. On the next play Goober, West
Georgia’s center, smeared Glue all over
tho field and Prof. Roberts mustache
got stuck just as the first period end
ed.
SECOND QUARTER
The ball is in the Giants possession
on their own two-inch line. Squire
Lavender fluked on the next play and
lost his right leg. Then came the most
spectacular play of the day, Prof. Wat
son ran seventy-five yards for a drink
of water. Dr. Boyd stumbled over the
Shorts and lost ten yards. Coach Bras
well dropped back in punt formation,
he misesd the ball, however, and kick
ed Otis out of the stadium. Prof. Hart
tried a pass to Prof. Ingrain who be
came so excited that lie swallowed liis
third and last penny pencil. Miss
Jenkins, Giant rooter, fell through the
south-stands just as the second quarter
came to a close.
THIRD QUARTER
Fertilizer comes in for Shorter. On
the first play, Dean Gunn drew a fif
teen-yard penalty for grabbing holds
on his opponents. The penalty was
formerly the loss of two honor points.
The game was delayed at this point;
Miss St. Clair, cheerleader, stumbled
over the water bucket and overturned
the bench which was seating two fa
mous substitutes, Kress Entrekin and
Bill Trent. Goober fumbled and Fer
tilizer fell on the ball. Otis returned
from Bowdon, where ho was so untime
ly kicked.
FOURTH QUARTER
Dr. Boyd made eyes at a blonde and
was smiten across the dome with a
blunt instrument. Squire Lavender
- found a hole in the Shorts and gained
seven yards. Prof. Watson lost his
temper and threw Muke up iu the sta
dium. On the next play, Prof. Strozier
lucked a field goal. The ball, how
ever, -was punctured and the referee
penalized West Georgia three-fourths
of one point, making the score to
narn. One got away in the North
stands and the crowd rushed out, end
ing the game.
The following program was seen on
the bulletin board one day recently.
It was not our privilege to witness
this unusual event, but it must have
been most entertaining:

W. G. C.’S FOUR EYES
Would you believe it i Out of two
hundred and seventy students at West
Georgia, there are sixty who belong to
the “four-eye” group. Tho inquisi
tive reporter has been on tho alert for
the last week and has seen these peo
ple wearing glasses, or to be more
specific, spectacles: Doris Wiggins,
Helen Hayes, James Roe, Emmie Lou
Bell, Ray Dean Watts, Monteen Price,
Fielding Towns, Norwood Floyd, Kress
Entrekin, Raye Cahppel, Walter Ab
ney, Katy Overby, Mayo Royal, Bever
ly Campbell, Elizabeth Hood, Hugh
Houseworth, Dora Cartledge, Novyce
Simonton, Cricket Rogers, Mable Har

Kd Neclv, Bill Trent, Roland Harris,
Reese Ragsdale, Earl Brown, Edwin
Puckett, Freeman Warren, Jane Luck,
Rabbi Weiss, Katherine Bass, Edna
Fuller, Virginia Colquitt, Elizabeth
Burnham; and then most of the fac
ulty: Misses Carpenter, Weaver, St.
Clair, Jenkins, Ward, Downs, Callaway
and Messrs. Watson, Gunn, Strozier,
Braswell, Tlart and Ingram; the men’s
dorm hostess, Mrs. Strozier.
Tf glasses mark the more studious,
we certainly have a goodly percent of
scholars at West Georgia. If we left
you* out, you are too private with your
glasses. Tf we found you out, that is
the job of a snooping reporter.
A rathen amusing incident comes to
my attention at this moment. Pro
fessor Strozier was directing the try
outs for Christopher, the leading male
{.•art in the new play. One fellow re
marked to the very modest Billy Thom
as that he had plenty of competition
for the leading vole. ‘‘ Why those guys
have no chance at all; the here lias to
be good-looking,” replied Thomas.
“Furthermore, we don’t need all you
fellows; give me a good-looking girl
and I’ll show you a real Dramatic
Club,” added the humble one.
Thomas Jefferson Harding, absent
minded Douglasvillian, still contends
that there is a flower called “pop
eyed Susan.”

A freshman is a bundle of mistakes

The twist of fate is often a cork
screw.
Some of these days is none of these
days.
The datest fad seems to be “dining
ala pm jam as.” Eleanor Hobbs is said
to have originated the idea. Either the
alarm clock failed or the “long-hand
les” weren’t sufficient to combat Sun
day’s fallen mercury.
We wonder why Billy Baker waits
until every one goes to bed to do his
shaving?
The hardest thing about being good,
or smart, or young is to keep up the
good work.
The following is the biggest problem
ever to confront me. Billy Thomas
wants certain young ladies to think he
is twenty years old. Now, just be
tween us, can’t you tell by that infant
face that he’s seventeen? It seems to
me that most fellows like to stay
young; besides, seventeen isn’t too
young to court. “Honesty is the best
policy.” Don’t blame the showers,
Thomas.
