WASHINGTON. —(AP)— An

to kill the Reece plan for disposal
of Mu.cle Shoals failed today in
the house when-hi:z p-oposed sub

Objection by Represertatixe

that the bill was not germane to
the Reece ~lan was sustained.
The McSwain measure would
have set ur a permanent boa-d to
lease the proect as a unit with its
three members subject to senate
confirmation.
The Reece bill would set up a
tempor~--—- hoard to lease the pro
ject to p-ivate interests. Its mem

Representative LaGuardia, ve

Judge Reed, in Teachers

Urges Graduates To
Become Community
Leaders.
“The greatest task = con’ronting

profession of teaching is Proper
llv:ulm'.flhip. not merely the .me-!
chanics of teaching,” Judge Harry
D. Reed. olumbia, S. C. ormerly |
of Wavcross, told the members of |
.lh«: graduating class of the Geor
gin State Teachers college this
imorning‘ in the baccalaureate ad

- Judge Reed was introduced -by
}l)r- Jere M. PPound,:president of the‘
Teachers college, who said that the
sleaker was a native Georgian |
iund has lived most of his life'ln‘
this state. ‘
“Teachers in the g‘ammuri
grades of the state's public schools
have a big responsibility. In these
grades, which constitute most of
‘the state's school population, im
jpl‘ossiuns given are carried through
life: ang the teacher should be
l])l'epured‘ to give tne rmbpressions
rthat would tend to make the stu
'donts mentally alert, physically and
morally strong,” the speaker de
clared.
Need Cf Leadership
There is greater neeq of leader
inhlp in the state today than in
the past 60 years, Judge Reed as
(serted: Whether the children will
;g-,-ow up with gqualities of leader
‘ship depend largely on the school
|teachers of the state. Some few
istudents will develop leadership
lumler almost any eircumstances,
ihut the most ol them = will need
carefully trained guidance.
! The teacher should net confine
|her leadership to the classroom but
should be a leader in the ecommu
lnity as well, he sad. Older peoble
are only children grown up and
need proper leadership.
The teachers, as leaders
should be interested in getting
the citizens to cast thoughtful and
|intelligcm ballots at all elections.
They should be interested in the
health work of the community and
state, and the governing of the
ginte
! Four distinct qualities given by
the speaker that a 1 ieaGer must pos
sess decided by l:»uding educators
in the country, are: ‘vaith— aith in
one’s own ability, pupils, ang com
munity. Initiative — must think
through own broblems and use im
agination- Judgement — careful
study of work in order to judge
Iqui(-l-;ly and intelligently, and exe
cutive ability—must be able to ex-
Im;u(r tasks and to sce that the
work is carried out.
’ Judge Reed predicted that some
time in the future criminals and

treated as siek people and would
