' INTERESTING BITS OF GOINGS
ON IN ATLANTA AND ELSE¬
WHERE IN THE STATE.
Atlanta, April 3.—The words of the
popular song, “I Didn’t Raise My Boy
to be a Soldier” may he changed in
Georgia. Although Georgians believe
that the threat of militarism is more
than an imaginary danger in the
United States, many of the leading cit¬
izens have urged military training.
Here is what Hon. Nat E. Harris, gov¬
ernor of Georgia, has to say on the
subject:
“In view of the situation in Europe,
1 believe that every young man should
have military training. This is not
an advocacy of militarism, but of pat¬
riotism and common sense. I know of
not better way by which young men
of Georgia can get such training than
through the Georgia National Guard.”
Atlanta, April 3.—Whitfield county
babies are being sung to sleep with
a new-fangled lullaby in which the
’possum has usurped the place of the
time honored rabbit. It follows:
“Bye-O, Baby Bunting,
Daddy’s gone a hunting
To get a little ’possum skin
To rake the rusty money in.”
The lullaby is an outgrowth of the
development of the ’possum industry
as a result of the parcel post. From
the Dalton post office comes the infor¬
mation that several hunters and trap¬
pers of the county are sending off the*
’possum skins and getting .$1,25 for the
best grade.
Recently a bunch of skins arrived
at the Dalton post office for shipment.
The hunter informed the post master
that it was the skin of the last of
“them cats in the Cove” and on this
promise he got it through.
Atlanta, April 3.—Former Governor
John M. Slaton, of Georgia, in a speech
at Boston, Mass., a few days ago, spoke
of the resources of his native state,
which, according to reports, opened the
eyes of New England people. Georgia
has already begun a nation-wide cam¬
paign to advertise its resources, aim
the speech of the former governor has
been recorded as one of the big hits
the year.
A few extracts of the speech carries
information which even Georgia and
her sister states would like to know.
“My state is the largest east of the
Mississippi river,” declared former
Governor Slaton. “It has every cli¬
mate of the United States, save the
Arctic.
“From North Georgia comes the
marble that built the Capitol of Min¬
nesota, the Memorial Hall of Kansas,
the Corcoran Art Gallery of Washing¬
ton, and the Girard Trust building of
Philadelphia.
“In Lumpkin county may be seen
the mines from which the government
obtained its entire supply of gold prior
to its discovery in California in 1849.
“Within sixteen miles of Atlanta is
the largest single mountain of granite
on the face of the earth.
“The United States census accredits
the agricultural resources of Georgia
with being fourth in value among the
states.” The governor stated that
enough cotton was produced two years
ago to allow one bale to each man, wo¬
man and child within the state. Wheat
production has increased in five years
from $870,000 to $5,000,000. The oat
crop alone has trebled from six million
bushels in five years to seventeen mil¬
lion. The Georgia apple took first
prize at the Fair in Oregon. The peach
ranks with the watermelon as the l>est
the world affords and solid trains car¬
ry these products from Maine to Cal¬
ifornia. Brunswick is the largest cross
tie market in the world.”

are obliged to get up often at night;
urine is dark, spots before the eyes,
back aches, puffy ankles or eyelids,
dropsy, rheumatism .lumbago, yellow

Where Teachers Romp
And Play Like Children
wjgjBfljM
Tne games and play of children in
school has come to be considered a
very necessary part of the education
of the child. The teacher’s guidance
of the children in their plays is
scarcely less important than class
room instruction. What to do with
the children during the play periods
has, therefore, come to be considered
an important part of the knowledge
.of the teacher. Play as well as study
must be organized and directed much
of the time, and the play spirit is
invaluable throughout life.
At summer schools the play life of
the child has an important place on
the programs. In fact no part of the
summer school work is taken up with
greater eagerness. That it is highly
enjoyable is readily believed when
one witnesses with what childish
abandon the grown-ups join in the
plays, the games, folk dances, page¬
GEORGIA HIGH
SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT
What the Summer School Means for
the Advancement of High Schools.
The teachers in the high schools of
Georgia generally receive higher sala¬
ries than teachers in the lower
schools, and the terms are longer
than the terms in most of the rural
schools. These high school teachers
should become the leaders of educa¬
tional reforms and activities. They
should patronize more freely the Sum¬
mer Schools, the chief agencies to
put them in touch with modern move¬
ments. There is a great and increas¬
ing demand to re-order education so
that it may minister more directly
to the life needs of the children. This
calls for the vocational trend in new
subjects, and a remodeling of our
older subjects. The following will
give some idea of the courses offered
and the talent secured to reach the
high schools through their teachers
in the Georgia Summer School.
English.
Miss Elvira D. Cabell, A. B. (Chi¬
cago), the head of the English depart¬
ment of the Chicago Normal College
and a teacher of superior reputation
has been secured to give a course in
High School Literature, and a course
in the Teaching of Composition. These
are two most important subjects of¬
ten . not well presented because of
difficulties. Miss Cabell will be a
great help to all English teachers
who come to the Summer School.
English Grammar will be given by
Dr. S. V. Sanford, author of the State
adopted text. Professor Steed of
Mercer University will give courses in
Shakespeare and in the Novel. He
will also give a series of interpreta¬
tions, lecture readings, of great mas¬
terpieces, leading to a genuine insight
and literary appreciation essential to
inspiration in the teacher of litera¬
ture. Dr. Sanford will give a compan¬
ion series on Tendencies of American
Fiction, and Dr. Park one on Literary
Criticism.
History.
With Dr. McPherson in American
History, Professor Payne in European
and Ancient History, and Dr. Brooks
in Southern History and Civics, the
field of history must bring forth good
fruit for high school teachers. In
addition, there will be offered a
course in Geographic Influences in
American History with Old World
illustrations by Dr. F. A. Millidge
(Chicago), now Professor of Geog¬
raphy in the Normal College of
Virginia. Another course especially
valuable for teachers of history and
of geography will be the course on
International Relations. This course
will present an interesting and valu¬
able study of conditions, geographic¬
al, industrial, social, and political in
Latin America, as the basis for furth¬
er extension of principles of interna¬
tional relations. It will be given by
a distinguished man sent by the Car¬
negie Endowment, Dr. J. G. McDonald,
now at Madrid, Spain. We are all so
little acquainted with our American
neighbors that this will be a valuable
course for all.
High School Science.
High School Science has been a
perplexing problem. Dr. Clifton F.
Hodge, of the University of Oregon,
author of Civic Biology, will give a
course based on his book offering a
solution to the problem of first-year
science. Dr. Campbell will give a
course base 1 on Bailey and Coleman,
and an additional course in Biology.
Dr. Hendven will give a course based
on Clark’s General Science, also a
course in Physics and Laboratory
work. Courses in Chemistry, general
and household, will be given by Dr.
White. These indicate how science
will be cared for.
Agriculture.
One other illu.tration will be giv¬
en. Agriculture is one of the modern
subjects calling to the high school for
treatment and sadly in need of teach¬
ers. The College of Agriculture is
responding to the call with courses in
the Sunfmer School for teachers who
should inaugurate this work in many
town and rural high schools. Even
the city schools should have the Na¬
ture Study and Gardening, if not
more.
Professor Fain will give a course
in General Agriculture, Professor
Crabb in Soils and Field Crops, Pro¬
fessor Goodwin in Animal Husbandry,
Dr. McHatton in Floriculture and
Gardening, and Professor Hart in
Manual Training and in Farm Me¬
chanics. This is a new field for the
Summer School, but one whose call
for the needs of Georgia should meet
with ready response from teachers.
Other Courses.
Mathematics, Household Arts, Phy¬
sical Education and Athletics, Draw¬
ing, Psychology, Music, and Foreign
Languages will be as strong as the
departments above outlined.
In High School Administration,
School Supervision, Principles of
Teaching, History and Principles of
Education, Educational Psychology,
and educational conferences, the pro¬
fessional side of the work will be pre¬
sented to supplement the scholarship
work of the other courses.
This story can give only this brief
of what the Summer School is pro¬
posing to do for high school teachers.
These courses nearly all extend into
college fields, carrying the teacher
over and beyond courses as given in
the high school. College courses are
offered, and a series of graduate
courses leading to the M. A. degree.
Adapted to the needs of Georgia and
the kindred South, teachers cannot
get so many valuable courses else¬
where. The strength and richness of
the 1916 Georgia Summer School
should be a source of pride to all
Georgia teachers, and their apprecia¬
tion should be shown in their re¬
sponse to the offerings.
STATE EXAMINATIONS FOR
TEACHER S’ CER TIFICATES
The dates for state examinations
for teachers’ certificates from the
summer school of the University of
Georgia, have been set and are
August 4 and 5. This will be at the
close of the summer school session.
These examinations, of course, are
all that are required of a teacher at¬
tending the summer school, who In¬
tends to teach in the state.
ENTERTAINMENTS AT
S UMME R SCHOOL.
Entertainments at Summer School.
Those who have charge of the sum¬
mer school of the University of Geor¬
gia leave nothing undone to make the
session both entertaining and help¬
ful. Among the attractions announc¬
ed for this summer are the Coburn
players offering three plays; open air
concerts; mountain excursions; local
excursions and picnics; opera con¬
certs; pageants; musicales; games;
swimming; tennis; play festivals;
story telling hours, etc.
THE COVINGTON NEWS, COVINGTON, GA., APRIL 6, 1916.
ants, etc., at a summer school. To
engage again in childhood pleasures
has been the tonic which many over¬
worked teachers have needed to send
them home after the session with a
glow of health and a new interest in
life.
The illustration given herewith is
only one of a number of ways the
Georgia teachers play at being chil¬
dren again at the summer school of
the University of Georgia.
In other recreative ways the tired
teacher is stimulated at the summer
school both physically and mentally.
The swimming pool is intensely
popular especially with the women
who seize the opportunity to learn
how to swim, dive and do aquatic
stunts. The gymnasium comes in
for a share of attention, the tennis
court and twilight games vie with
other in popularity.
