“Nutural resources are some
ning found in nature and ugeful
to aman” said, Mr. E. 8, Bell,
professor of geography at the
University of Georgia and member
of the City Boarad of Education, in
a speech delivered before the
student body, en February 12 in
Mell auditorium.‘ The subject of
Mr. Sell's talk was “Georgia's
Natural Resources.”
“Any nation,” he continued,
“that uses its natural resources
wisely is likely to be a rich nas
tion. In spite of our talk of pov
erty we are a wealthy nation. You
and I live in luxury compared 10
many of the peoples of the earth.
The reason for this is our natu
ral resources which we have used
extensively.”
Professor Sel talked principally
on one phase of Georgia's natural
resources, the fertile soll. .He
compared the . different kinds of
soil in the state. The coastal plain
which econtains the youngest soi)
in the state and which is not as
fertile as some other parts of the
state is approximately sixty mil
lion yegrs old, The next order of
age iy the northern coastal plain,
which is also very sandy. The
next in age is also the most fer-I
tile—the Great Valley, which i
yich in limestone soil.
Mr. Sell stated that in the
Piledmont Belt the soil is probably
as old as any in the world—per
haps seveu hundred million years
old. Due to erosion, the Piedmont
Pelt is not as fertile s 't once
was. ]
The other natural resource that
Professor Sell discussed was the
water power. He told his audi
ence that due to the uniform
ran~fall in Georgia there is re
markable opportunity for water
power development. Quoting Mr.
T. A. Gibson of the Georgla
Power company, .Professor Sell
said, “The potential water power
of Georgia is 1,154,000 horsepower.
The developed water power Is
361,000 horsepower.”
Miss Laura Blackshear, a mem
ber of the arg staff of the Univer
gity of Georgia, will speak at as
‘sembly next Friady, February Z2l.
She will discuss some phase of
ars,
“The Qualities That Make for a
Greater Career As Exemplified by
Thomas Edison,” was the subject
0¢ the regular Tuesday morning
chapel service on February 11,
conducted by Miss Natalie Bo
cock’s homeroom. Howard Guest
presided over the program and
Wheeler Hawkins read the 121st
Pealm and led in the Lord's
prayer.
A short talk on Edison's life
was given by Edna Epps. Follow
ing this, the entire student body
sang “Onward Christian Soldler.”
The' orchestra played the accom
paniment,
Vernon Boatner talked on the
gualities that make for a success
ful career as exemplified in Edison
and his contributions to the
world .
The orchestra closed the pro
gram with Beethoven's Minuet in
a.r
An amateur hour will be featur
ed at the chapel program spon
gored by Miss Frances Moore's
homeroom next Tuesday. R. C.

OPPORTUNITY SCHOOL
This poem was selécted as the
winning .one in a recent school
poem contest and has been adopt
ed as our school poem for the
vear,
1 went to school when I was
young,
But not to study: I went for fun.
And, when | was older and began
| to realize
How much school meant to our
‘ lives,
I knew I had made a ‘great mis
take.
But 1 thought it was too late.
Then 1 weént around with imagi
nation,
For 1 really wanted an education
Then gne day joy came my way.
1 heard of a school where you
didn't have to pay.
And I don’t know why I lingered
| 80,
‘For 1 really knew I wanted to go
Still, it seemed | couldn’t be bold.
But it was for both young and
old,
And itw as with a friend so dear,
That 1 started without a fear.
And from the first 1 began 1o
+ find .
That everyone wa¢ very kind ‘
And I really liked 1o go. 3
There was much I wanted 1o
know, I
And my teachers, they were 80
grand. i
They never refused us a helping
hand; ¢
They were always ready at our
command
To explain anything we didn't un
. derstand.” .
And we have parties and picnice
too.
They always help, us to feel s 0
. new,
And they help us to be more
brave,
And to work harder for the things
we crave;
So, if we can't go and spend the
day,
Still we don’t have to stay away.
And that's what makes our school
so fine,
Becauge we can go at any time.
Our school gives programs over
the radio
And we all enjoy them 0 much,
you know.
We find out who our amateurs
are,
Some <day they might be a greal
radio star.
We are a happy band living in
i&ope;
We are slowly climbing up the
slope.
It's a great opportunity school,
folks, s 0 now,
If you want an education, just
come anyhow.
Still, 1 work from seven 'till three,
Then go to school, happy and free.
And 1 am glad it id in my powyer
To go to school in my spare hour.
Some of my friends seem to sneer,
And ask me if I'm going to school
this year. -
Sure, and I study from early ‘il
late,
And a much better student 1 hope
to make.

impossible, but by saving our pens
nies, selling tin éns, coat hangers |
and ¢lothes and some help from
Miss , Wier and the P.-T. A, wel
have reached our goal. 1
