CURRICULUM GROUP
PRESENTS SYMPOSIUM
PROGRAM WAS PRESENTED
IN COLLEGE AUDITORIUM
JULY 15 AT 2 P. M.
The Curriculum classes present
ed a program Wednesday, July 15,
from 2:00 to 4:45 in the college au
ditorium. The purpose of this sym
posium is to share with the student
body and visiting principals and
superintendents the concensus of
nr'inv'n that hepn f|<*v pinned by
students at West Georgia under
the supervision of Miss Mae Kelly,
the instructor of Curriculum Re
vision.
The program consisted of dis
cussions of different phases of the
Curriculum Revision in Georgia;
of the principles underlying the
scope and the application of the
same. The need for Curriculum Re
vision in the State was discussed.
Another topic discussed is the or
ganization of materials. This was
dealt with from the standpoint of
the unit method versus the textbook
method, with suggestions for de
veloping a unit on a functional
basis with the child as the most
important faction around which
the work of the school will revolve.
A daily program was given
consideration since it is essential
to utilize a changed procedure with
changed Aims of Education. Sug
gestive annotated Bibliographies
for each grade were available to
all students and visitors. Lists
of free material were also avail
able. Illustrative units of work
on each grade level, developed by
students in the curriculum courses,
were explained. Several of the
students gave personal reactions of
the Revision Program thus far
adopted.
The students in Curriculum Re
vision have worked with increased
interest and effort on plans for
their work during the ensuing
year. Interpretation of these plans
were very profitable to the en
tire student body and visitors.
There was an intermission of
fifteen minutes near the middle of
the program at which time punch
was served.

CARROLLTON HAS BIG
JULY 4TH PROGRAM
UNCLE SAM’S 165TH BIRTHDAY
WAS GALA EVENT
The celebration of Uncle Sam’s
one hundred and sixty-first birth
day was a gala event in the city
of Carrollton. Careful planning
and advertising by the Civitans
and Lions Clubs, sponsors of the
celebration, made a happy and
memorable event for the people
of Carroll county.
The business men of the city
were generous in the conti ibu
tion of prizes. A fifty-cent ticket
admitted one to a baseball game
between the Carrollton Farmers
and the Macon Sandlotters, and
also gave one a chance to draw
a prize.
The first event was a bicycle
race, entered by boys of twelve,
thirteen and fifteen years. The
prize was a thirty-five dollar
bicycle contributed by Harris
Hardware Company. The race
track extended from the public
square through the campus of
West Georgia College.
Honorable Abit Nix, of Athens,
delivered the address of the day
before a large crowd in the city
auditorium. He commemorated the
day that is the national holiday of
the American people.
The baseball game at two o’clock
drew a large and enthusiastic
crowd. After a hard-fought strug
gle, the Macon team was victorious.

ed Dr. Harvey W. Cox, president

orchestra.
OUTDOOR EXERCISES
FEATURE OF SUMMER
Chapel exercises on the front
campus after supper, as initiated
here this summer, must have been
an innovation for all the students
and faculty members represented
in the group.
Those who have long wilted in
crowded auditoriums at summer
chapel exercises have now repose
and ease during these evening gath
erings. The informality of a group
forming a circle on the grass has
been a pleasant sight to all who
have participated.
The punch and ice cream that
Miss Ward and Miss Kendrick have
served the group from time to time
have been an added recreational
feature. How different this sit
ting on the grass, singing songs
and listening to a few brief an
nouncements in the cooler part
of the evening, from sitting in a
hot auditorium listening to a form
al program!
When Mr. Ingram asked for a
show of hands to decide whether
or not to continue this plan, the
unanimity of the decision for the
evening exercises left no doubt
in anyone’s mind.
The last sociai chapel exercise
was a watermelon cutting in the
gymnasium.
