President Ingrain
Speaks at Assembly
Our speaker for chapel on Tues
day, November 12, wus our Presi
dent, Mr. I. S. Ingrum. He was in
troduced by Dr. Roberts, who ex
plained that the week of November
10-16 was American Education
Week.
Mr. Ingram’s subject was "Men
Who Have Influenced Education in
The United States,” He spoke on
concepts of education in the past
and present, of how the past con
cepts have changed, and of great
leaders who influenced these chang
es. Among these people were Ben
jamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson,
Rousseau, Pestulozzi, Horace Mann,
and John Dewey.
Mr. Ingram said that each of us
would have a different answer if
asked the question, "What is edu
cation?” He said we should be able
to give an intelligent answer to
that question.
His answer was that an educated
person is a socially-adjusted person;
one who is adjusted to and can con
tributed satisfactorily to his com
munity.
Mr. Ingram's speech was very ap
propriate for the occasion and chal
lenged the student body to practice
democratic living in this atomic
age. He concluded; “We will live
together in peace as brothers or be
destroyed as enemies.”
Professor Chalker
Guest Speaker
F. M. Chalker, Superintendent of
Carrollton High School, and a mem
ber of the summer school faculty at
West Georgia College, addressed
the faculty and student body, No
vember 15, at chapel.
He chose as his topic for discus
sion, "Getting Along With Other
People.” In getting along with oth
er people, according to Mr. Chalker,
there are four items necessary:
1. Common interests
2. Look for the best in people
3. Loyalty
4. Sympathy
He illustrates these virtues by
the effect that they have on peo
ple, and pointed out that the major
asset that a person can have is the
ability to get along with people.
Distinguished Ed neat or s
At West Georgia
Recently West Georgia was hon
ored with the presence of a' group
of Educators from the National Ed
ucational Clinic, which met in At

Represented here were collegs
throughout th nation; including
schools in Washington, Ohio, Cali
fornia, Michigan, Connecticut, Wis
consin, Nebraska, West Virginia,
Kentucky, Indiana, South Carolina,
Alabama, Missouri, and Illinois.
These leaders had heard favor
able reports about West Georgia
College and they were here to study
the progress and methods used.
Chiefly, they were interested in the
third year work and the rural
schools connected with the college.
Therefore, they were not on our
campus for a very long time, but
were out visiting the schools. They
were seemingly favorably impress
ed with what they found here.
On the night of their arrival
here, November 5, they were served
a buffet supper by Miss Jenkins in
the Home Economics Department.

Miss Woodruff
Opens Music Room
Miss Woodruff has invited us all
down to the music room in R. A. to
listen to our heart’s content to
some of the finest music in the
world. The library is indexed with
;ies so lhat one may select music
irom certain composers; by Idle of
the compositions; by medium, sue a
as piano, violin, vocal, etc; or by
form, such as concertos, symphon
ies, sonata, etc.
The music library has in its files
five complete Operas: Faust, Boris
Godunor, Orfeo ed Euridice, Don
Giovanni, and Aida. There are also
some oratories, and numerous
shorter compositions.
Many of these fine records can
no longer be bought anywhere, for
they are of orchestras that existed
in Europe before the war, and are
now probably disorganized, also of
excelsior chorals which have sepa
rated and their records are no long
er available. There are records in
large numbers of some of the great
est artists in all fields of music.
This is a grand opportunity for
all students to learn about the
higher types of music; music one
will never like or understand un
less he first takes a step toward
trying to learn and understand. It
isn’t every day one is invited to lis
ten for hours to great music with
out being disturbed. And that
means not disturbed for Miss Wood
ruff says it is a rule that there
shall be no talking while the rec
ords are being played.
Although the music room is open
only three nights a week, Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Thursday, from
6:30 to 7:30, students can all find
time to drop by and listen to some
of their favorites once or twice dur
ing the quarter. Miss Woodruff
says also that the music room will
be open on Wednesday morning
during chapel period in order to
give the day students an opportuni
ty to hear this music.
KAMPUS KAPERS
Students at West Georgia are
growing steadily older as “Happy
Birthdays’” roll around weekly for
most of us.

Evidently there’s to be a “Ye

campus to account for all those

One of our biggest pigs escaped
from his pen over on the hill and
cornered two girls down by Aycock
Hall last week. Does anyone know
if they’re still there?
Never sidestep an opportunity to
shoulder responsibility; it will de
velop the only backbone that can
support you in the next world.
THE WEST GEORGIAN
Congressman Camp
Addresses Students
A. Sidney Camp, representative
since 1939 in the lower house, from
the fourth congressional district of
Georgia, and veteran member of
the Ways and Means Committee,
spoke to the student body at as
sembly on October 29.
His opening statement was praise
for the college, "There is no school
in Georgia that is advancing so rap
idly or presenting more opportuni
ties than this college. The whole
state has its eyes on this institu
tion.”
The congressman’s speech was di
rected particularly to the veterans.
He explained the appreciation of
veterans by their high scholastic
and moral standing in institutions
throughout the country and ex
pressed confidence that veterans
would be further awarded for their
endurance, defiance, and loyalty in
time of war.
His viewpoint on relations of our
country and the rest of the world
is "As long as there are heathens
in the world there will be war.
Free relations must be sustained
among the people of the four corn
ers of the earth and all the terri
tory between. In sustaining these
i,ve relations, must act as
a peace missionary to ill-stricken
nations of the world. We must in
telligently, diligently, and conscien
tiously teach these nations the
ways of a democracy such that we
have.
“Before free relations are main
tained, however, we must have suf
ficient military strength to help de
fend the world against aggressive
people. Military training will con
tinue in the sense that we will have
a well balanced Navy and the nu
cleus of an Army composed of a
corps of trained specialists.”
In contradicting the proverb, “op
portunity knocks but once” he said,
“Opportunity knocks continuously
and continually at our door.” He
acclaimed the youth of modern
times and stressed that there is no
limit to the world they can con
quer.
Mr. Camp closed with profound
words of advice to young people of
today: "Strive onward to build a
future security for yourself.”
Early Completion of
Storms Barracks
Congratulations to Mr. J. B. Stal

of the school, excellent progress is
being made. Storms Barracks, one

mentioned a visit to Paris and its
variety of life.
Third veteran to reveal a brief
picture of his memories was Lewis
Adams. He told of life in Iceland;
the long nights and the dashing
colors of splendor displayed by the
aurora borealis. He brought out
the fact that dogs and trees were
absent from this country.
So closed a minds-eye trip to Ice
land. Europe, and China.
