PAGE FOUR 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. SIDE GLANCES Wo acknowledge the receipt of the following college pop-rs: “The Cox swuiu” from <‘ox College in College Park; “The Collonade” from U. fcb C. W, iu Milledgeviile; “The Alchemist’ from Jlrenau College in Gainesville us additions to those already on the ex change list, of the West Georgian. Orchids to tho “Flights of Fancy” (Alchemist;, “Criticism” (George* Aini('), “A College of Work” (Mount Merry News), “ Friendship” (Collon ade), “Our Pet Theory’’ (Blue Stock g). Tho “Coxswain” brings with it the news that its editor is none other than the sister of Hugh Houscworth, one of West Georgia’s favorito lights. Many Helen Hoop, a Carrollton high graduate, is on the staff of the ‘ ‘ Alchemist.” The “ Goorge-Annc” is found to be ns enthusiastic as ever with the edito rial page being especially good. Tho “Mount Berny News” carries enough good news of the goings-on to make us wish to visit them for a while, while. Tho “Collonade” Ims some splendid features as well as good editorial mat ter. The ‘ * Red and Black” with the “Collegiate Digest” is a splendid ex ample of what n school of journalism can do for a college paper. GLEANINGS “Love is like coffee. If it is too hot, we get burned; if it is too cold, we want it taken away; if it is just right, even the best of us take it with sweetening”—Red and Black. “It is said that only one woman out of a thousand can whistle, but as long as she can talk, who wants to whis tle f ” —Collonade. * ‘ The biggest elephant in the world is not worth one small Einstein.” — Mount Berry News. 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: GALA DAY Boxing (family fued) - “Rosy” Spence vs. Dick Spence. Dancing exhibition (Crapioca)— Louise Pierce and Kress Entrekin. Tumbling—Frances Cruse and Ver dyno McClung. Golf—“ Steady” Dickey. Wrestling— ‘ ‘ Robin Hood ” and Willie Baker. Strong Man Act —Leeman Simonton and Horace Cook. Lessons in Love-Making Billy Thomas, assisted by Mamie Edwards. Tiddledy-Winks—Coach David and Louise Geer. Talk, “My Success Asa Ladies’ Man”—Mayo Royal. Talk, “Gift of Gab,” Lucille Port- t wood. 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 per, Horace Cook, Dick Spmnce, Leila Cantrell, Grace Elder, Kate Whitlock, Haneel Tucker, Luta Herndon, Betty Hopper, Clara Price, Robert Witcher, 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.” CARROLLTON DRUG COMPANY We Appreciate Your Patronage H & T COFFEE SHOP Delicious Meals—Home-made Pies SANDWICHES CARROLL THEATRE WEDNESDAY, NOV. 28 “HALF A SINNER” With Joel McCrea and Sally Blane. THURSDAY—Thanksgiving Day “COLLEGE COACH” With Dick Powell and Ann Dvorak. Thumbnail Descriptions Gracie Wing and Portwood—Two who had happy dreams and the alarm dock failed to go off. Goodree —A singing giggle. Doyle—Tho guy with the chronic stomach trouble. Mr. Strozier —Uami des eleves. Tuggle —Dry ice. Lyman Moore —Neon sign; lots of glare. Any Freshman —Sophomore in the rough. Mr. Gunn —Papa Bear. , Miss Ward —Mama Bear. Dorm. Students —Baby Bears. A freshman is a bundle of mistakes that a sophomore wishes to correct. 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. COMPLIMENTS OF THE HUB
