GROWTH OF INTEREST IN ART
(An Editorial)
| BY DAPHNE PARKS, ’37.
The art of drawing and paint
ing ig one of the olaest arts in ex
istence, It has developed during
all the years and now stands near
the top of the list in imporlan(:e.!
People have taken up art for art’sj
.gake art as a profession, and some |
have diseovered art as a hobby. I
Georgia has produced many art- |
ists during her life time. .The tal-l
ented Georgians of today are to bel
thanked for the pictures showing|
marked artistic skill recently ex
hibited in Chanceltor hall on the
‘university campus. These exhibi
tlons, eight of which have been
sponsored by the Association of|
/Georgia Artists, are an important |
sfeature to the city of Athens and'
wvicinity. Such displays are largely |
responsible for the growth of art.l
They act as a stimulant to those |
who have the slightest interest in‘
drawing and painting, and help)
those who have an undiscovered
Jove for art to find a place for|
themselveg in this field, ‘
The city of Athens is indeed for
tunate in having an exhibition orl
vaintings by such talented Geor-’
glans and among them are five of
‘her own eitizens, . !

© “Opportunities of colleges and |
what colleges are for” was the sub- |
ject of an address Ly Dr. Harmon |
‘W. Caldwell at the high school Fri- |
day, January 22, |
“The reason that sends a young |
man to-college has a great deal to|
do with his accomplishmentg fllnl
«college,” stated the speaker, In!
listing reason for walch most stu-|
dents go to college, some attend%
10 please their parents, to go to the|
same place there friends go, for|
the social prestige gained frnm;
fraternities and sororities and to
Pprepare to make a living. |
Dr. Caldwell stressed the real’
objectg of college training, which
are the discipline of the intellectuar
powers, the cultivation of good
intellectual habits, a knowledge of
literature, and an appreciation of
the beautiful. . g :
“All the intellectual training .you
get is merely increasing your pow
er which may be used for good or
evil,” he asserted. ‘lt depends €n
tirely on the way you use it. Edu
cation consgists not only of intel-
Jectual power but also of character
development.”
The college president emphasiz
ed the necessity of setting before
one's self some high ideal or high
objective, and advised against se-
Jecting an ideal that is impossible.
“Real happiness’” he explained,
“eomes not from the work you do
in this world but in the manner in
which you do it.”
The students were encouraged to
take stock of themselves, to see
how much they can do, to strive
to do the best they can, and to
make the most of their powers,
In closing, Dr. Caldwell said,
“Happiness comes in the pursuit of
a worthy ideal” ‘

We have been looking through
all the books that we could find,
hunting for stories about Nor
way and the Vikings. We enjoy
reading about these bold and
daring sailors who roved the seas
in their stout ships with dragon-
Lshaped prows. The Vikings firmly
believed that the giants wused
[their country as a playground;
that they amused themselves by
pulling ©up the land and letting
the sea into it, and by pelting
one another with the mountaing
and islands. The country looks as
if that might have been true for
if its jagged coast line could be
straightened out into one long
strip, it would stretch half-way
around the world, at the equator.
Fifth Grade
, During the past two weeks
| Miss Mayne's fifth grade has been

that an American can take, but
we know that President Roosevelt
will do all that he promised, and
more. He is a great man and 2

The past summer I went to Sa

but alse got a good scare. One
morning after we had come from
Swimming and still had on_my
bathing suit, Courtney and I got
in a row boat and started down
the river. 4 : _
The tide was going out and
was very swift. I knew very lit
tle about handling a boat, and
soon the current was carrying us
out in the middle of the river
where it was much stronger, and
we went swiftly away from the
dock. I got panicky and could
not think of what to do. I asked
Courtney to let me have her oar,
but she said I would only get us
into more trouble than I already
had; sol I got half-way in to shore
and dropped my oar in the water.
I don't think that I have ever
been so clumsy as I-was then.
I took Courtney's oar this time
without asking and paddled out to
my oar. When we got it we finally
rowed to a dock and tied the boat
to it and walked home from thgre.
That evening Schley rowed the
boat back to our dock. After that
experience 1 never went out again
without someone who knew lots
more about rowing than I did.
