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. (Continued On Page Three) W. GA. GRADUATES 49 STUDENTS JUNE 4 The third annual commencement exercises of West Georgia College were held in the city auditorium of Carrollton on Thursday morning, June 4th. President I. S.

Music was furnished by Hal Mayfield and his 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. BE A BOOSTER FOR W.G.C.
