CARROLLTON. GEORGIA
Dr. John D. Campbell of Atlan
ta, Georgia, was the guest speaker
at the Fourth District meeting of
the County Teachers which met at
the West Georgia Colleeg auditor
ium, February 16.
Mr. J. Carson Pritchard intro
duced the speaker after the regu
lar business meeting was conclud
ed. Rather than making a speech,
Dr. Campbell asked fo rthe teach
ers to tell of some problems of
their classroom, and he would ex
plain the origin and cause of the
particular problem. Several teach
ers gave Dr. Campbell interesting
cases in which their problems
were concerned.
Dr. Campbell graduated from
Baylor Medical College in Dallas,
Texas and interned in Houston,
Texas. He was in General Practice
four years and specialized in psy
chiatry. He was in the Navy four
years and the psychiatry branch,
and has been in private practice
in Atlanta since then.
About his work Dr. Campbell
said, “I’m anxious to see that edu
cational heads and teachers be
come conscious of the practical
applications of psyciatry. As time
goes on, people will learn more
about psyciatry. We are gratified
that the public is recognizing the
fact that the earlier they come to
the psychiatrist with their prob
lems, the more we can do for
them.”
“I like to visit places and see
what people are interested in. I
have visited West Georgia Col
lege before and think it is a won
derful institution.”
