Varied Proposals To Open
Big Debating Tournament
.. Most worthy opponents can

lenge you to prove . . ” “No one,
not even our opponents, will deny
that the measures we advocate are
sound!”
The first annual inter-club de
bating tournament on the West
Georgia College campus is expected
to be marked by a vivid display
of wit, sound reasoning, brilliant
oratory and a good deal of bull
shooting.
Out of this mixture of combusti
ble and highly tempermental gas
Professor L. E. Roberts, adviser
of the Debating Club, hopes to un
cover new material for the club
and for the inter-collegiate debates.
I am sure you all will

Pledger Carmichael, who has
charge of the turnament, has gone
about as daffy as Don Quioxte.
“Can you tell me something on the
affirmative?” “Where will I find
material for this debate?” “Please
put my faculty friends on to judge
my debate.”
A squadron of N. Y. A. Assis
tants are being mobolized to chase
down faculty members to serve
as judges. This may be quite a job,
leaders of the squad think.

DR. WELLS SPOKE
HERE LAST WEEK
ON EDUCATION
FULTON COUNTY SCHOOL HEAD
ADVICE TO FUTURE
TEACHERS
Dr. Jerry Wells, superintendent
of the Fulton County Schools,
spoke here last Tuesday at the re
gular chapel hour.
Dr. Wells’ talk was centered a
round the teaching profession.
After defining the term “profes
sion,” he advised students prepar
ing for education work to change
their minds if they were consider
ing teaching as a means of money
making.
Supplementing facts with various
illustrations from actual life, Dr.
Wells said, “The soil, like modern
youth, is the most valuable of Geor
gia’s material sources. Erosion
has been taking away in enormous
quantities fertilized land.”
For example, he cited, “ it is esti
mated that five dollars worth of
good soil is washed away down the
Chattahoochee river, per hour.”
He predicted that fifty years
from now, Georgia would be a
veritable desert if this condition
continued.
The proper use of youth as fu
ture leaders w r ho will be able to
stop such physical tragedies is only
gainable through molding charac
ter and instilling principles of right
with which to guide them.
Dr. Wells stated that if the teach
ers of tomorrow go about their
business from a standpoint of pu
blic service and character building
rather than from a standpoint of
making money, such examples as
the washing away of soil could be
eradicated with the aid and advice
of youth well grounded and educa
ted.

Course In Contemporary
Georgia Upsetting Sophs
Although the Social Science 4
Classes have been in session only
two weeks, the students enrolled
are learing the cold, bare, and
almost discouraging facts about
their native state.
Contemporary Georgia, or Social
Science 4, is, like all social science
studies, a survey course.- The
syllabus in use was written by Dr.
Malcolm H. Bryan of the University
of Georgia.
“The course treats Georgia so
totally different from what I had
always believed about Georgia,”
said one student, “that judging
from the true contents, I am not
so sure about this idealistic motto
of the Georgia Power Company —
‘lt's great to be a Georgian’.”

NUMBER SIX'
CICEROIANH MEET 4-H CLUB
AT 0:40 THIS MORNING
Eleven campus organizations will
begin the first round debate, leav
ing one first round debate to be
battled out Wednesday, January
20, between the Ciceronian Liter
ary Society and the Four H Club.
The debate starts promptly at
9:50 a. m. at Ciceroian’s regular
meeting.
The question for debate is Re
solved: That the General Assembly,
of Georgia should enact legislation
providing for the common schools
a uniform with nine months as a
minimum.
It was announced that between
forty and fifty members of the
student body are now preparing
debates for the first round.
No seeding was done in the
tournament because of the fact
that none of the participants have
debated since coming to West
Georgia.
Members said that one of the
main purposes of the debate is to
discover talent; the other is to pro
mote an interest in debating a
mong the faculty members and
students.
Mr. Roberts ami Carmichael,
tournament directors have decided
to secure disinterested men from
Carrollton to judge the semi-final
and final rounds, mainly to take
the burden off the faculty mem
bers of deciding for or against
some club of which they are
faculty advisor.
The tournament is the first to
be staged on the campus, and
members said yesterday that they
hoped to make it an annual affair.
Mu Zeta Alpha, The Four H Club,
The eleven organizations are:
Ciceronian Literary Society, Le
Cercle Francaise, Men’s Glee Club,
Dramatic Club, Alpha Psi, Vol
untary Religious Association, Chief
tain Staff, Phi Sigma Alpha, and
Women’s Glee Club.
Those participating and for what
organizations are as follows:
For the Men’s Glee Club: Dan
Brewster and Norman Tant.
For the Dramatic Club: Sarah Se

of its truthfulness, Dr. Malcolm’s
syllabus is full of statistics which
mingled with trifles of economic
and social philosophy, fails com
pletely to paint a really pretty pic
ture of the “Empire State of the
South.”
Students admit that after a study
of some aspects of population, and
the materials relating to schools,
public health, and wealth and in
come, something definitely should
be done before conditions become
worse—if they can.
It is apparent when such ques
tions daily shot at Mr. Roberts that
the state’s conditions are worrying
considerably many of the more
serious-minded and less sophisticat
ed Sophomores, and that they are
