Future of South to M.Z.A.
HEAD OF EMORY BIOLOGY DE
PARTMENT INTRODUCED BY
NEW PRESIDENT
Dr. W. B. Baker, Head of the Bio
logy Department of Emory Uni
versity, talked to Mu Zeta Alpha
last Thursday evening on ‘Biologi
cal Research and the future of the
South.’
Dr. Baker was introduced by
the new President, Horton Greene
who sketched briefly his accom
plishments. Dr. Baker took his
Ph. D. from Columbia University
in 1926. He spoke to the Club
last fall on "Significane trends in
field of Biology.”
Dr. Baker began his talk with a
discussion of the present educa
tional system; he explained that
liigher education heretofore had
|>een concerned merely with the ac
lumulation of facts, and these un
-1 pplied facts were unable to pre
entthe economic, social, political
breakdown of the post war period.
He stated that education had not
had time to concentrate on scienti
ic stv.3ies, that we have idealized
he past too much. “We must
Change this” he said,” “we must
l dopt the scientific viewpoint of
i luoation us a means of inventing,
Creating and controling, it is the
L.'sin ess of a scientist to find out
facets and do something about
i*iem.”
** He said that the south was
>1 ounded in culture and it was
f ily recently that the Southern col
\ '■s established departments of
’science. “It is noticable,” he said
“that where the least emphasis has
been placed upon science the in
come and living stardards are low
est.”
He quoted the eminent statisti
cian, Roger Babson, as saying that
the South was making progress
faster than any other region of
the nation. He said that if we used
our natural resources in an edu
cated manner we could develop one
(of the finest civilizations the world
has evr known.

Ingram Writes On Teacher
Training In The Junior Colleges
By PLEDGER CARMICHAEL
President Irvin S. Ingram of
West Georgia discusses in the cus
rent issue (April 1937) of SCHOOL
AND COLLEGE "The Junior Col
lege as a Teacher Training Insti
tution.” After a brief introduction
to the aims of the Junior College
movement he gives a clear sum
marized result of a survey of a
rural community made by mem
bers of the West Georgia College
Faculty.
He said that the aims and pur
poses of junior colleges are being
clearly defined. "Such institutions
as the Universities of Minnesota,
Georgia, Chicago, Columbia and
Florida seem to have very clear
ideas about the objectives of their
respective colleges on the junior
college level. The whole move

SUPREME COURT QUESTION TO
BE DEBATED BY EIGHT
TEAMS
The first state-wide Inter-colle
giate debating tournament ever
held in Georgia will begin Thurs
day in the College auditorium. The
question to be debated is, Resolved:
That it would be to the best in
terest of the Untted States to adopt
the Roosevelt supreme Court plan.
The plan of judging the tourna
ment will be direct elimination,
which was so successful in the in
ter-club debating tournament held
here, Debating Club officials stated.
The tournament sponsored by
the West Georgia College Debating
Club will bring together leading
debate teams from all parts of the
state. Invitations have been issued
to all of the junior colleges of the
state and to the Freshmen and
Sophomore debaters of Senior col
leges, Frank Kelly, president of the
Club stated. The Supreme Court
question that will be used in the
tournament is one that is of vital
concern to all American people,
Howard Handley, secretary of the
Club stated. The out come of the
plan may determine the trend of
democracy, not only in the United
States but elsewhere.
Debating Club officials said that
the winning team would be crown
ed state junior college debating
champions of Georgia and would
be rewarded in a suitable manner.
Each college will have the privilege
of entering two teams in the tour
nament, although one team may do
all of the debating, as sides of sub
ject will be drawn for.
The list of Colleges which have
accepted invitations to participate
is made up of; North Georgia Col-
College at Douglas; Gordon Military
College at Barnesville; Richmond
Academy at Augusta; Mt. Berry
College, at Rome; Emory Junior
College at Oxford; Abraham Bald
win Agricultural college at Tiftort
lege at Dahlohega; South Georgia
and West Georgia College.

of this type of education believe
that an average graduate from
such an environment has a very
general education fortified by a
freshness, spontaneity, and enthusi
asm so necessary for one In any
place of leadership, particularly
the teacher.”
"Due to anticipated changes in
standards for teachers in Georgia,
a person can no longer qualify for
teaching unless he has some train
ing beyond high school graduation.
For this reason the junior college
takes the place formerly held by
the high school—that of preparing
teachers for the less remunerative
positions. In other words: Condi

we need teachers who have a rural
background and who have as much
