What Sort Of A
Listener Am I?
Aliene Harper
Do I do unto others as I would
. , have
them do unto me? D ° 1 ma!<e
a speaker feel more at ease or
confused beyond doing his best?
Dr> 1 so listen tha * 1 Put myself
in his place so as to feel and take
| j n every point he tries to put
over.
Whqn I go to a good movie I
P ut m Y se U in the place of the
leading person, living his life as
the picture puts it.
AVhen I read a good book I place
myself in the story throughout.
On the other hand. I consider
this person very much an asset
to my education. But isn't a help
ful talk or lecture of equal im
portance. Shouldn't I consider the
speaker also an advantage to
education? Such an aid should be
greatly enjoyed.
The speaker, if he sees some
few people inattentive, gets a
feeling he’d better stop short be
cause he's boring. Am 1 in that
hunch? If I'm Burning am I tak
j ng - d all in for future use? Am
too low' in the scale to care. No
man or group of men can take the
law into their own hands without
failing to bring themselves on
or their community into disre
PUte. Where some person is not
living right, mistreats his home,
0r c * oes other disreputable acts is
no reason why any individual or
set of individuals should take the
law in t° their own hands. The
duty and privilege in such oc
casions are to show good citizen
ship by cooperating with law en
forcement agencies. Such persons
are as guilty of law violation as
the person they seek to punish.
No violation can be controlled by
another violation.
“Better Georgia" Goal Is
Announced.
Planning a better Georgia will
be the theme of the sixth Annual
Georgia Progress program to be
held at the Georgia Teacher's Col
lege. Friday and Savurday. April

Uncle Ned and his Texas
Wranglers offer a light-running.
fast-moving and refreshing round

and as a troupe, their entire per
formance is keyed on a whole

terest theme that appeals to ev
ery member of the family.
No galaxy of radio stars in
years has created so sudden a
sensation in radio realms as this
cavalcade of musical broncho
busters. and apacity is predicted
when the Texas Wranglers cut
loose with their high, wide and
handsome footlight prolic in Port- ,

By Aliene Harper
Lecture or Assembly
Absolute quiet and full attention
are due the speaker by those at
tending either.
First persons to arrive should
seat themselves nearest the front, i
so as to avoid late-comers con
fusion. If the audience is small.
go to the front to save speaker
from loud talking that is unneces
sary. j
Stay in seat first choose. s
you
Don't stare at a newcomer, he
hates it and so does the speaker.
Never take outside work to a
lecture, but if so desired take |
notes.
If you have a cold don't go.
Cover any and all coughs.
To be quiet is the very best as
set to well-bred people. On the
other hand, eating, chewing gum. ;
making up and filing nails are
absolutely ill-bred.
You came for a lecture. Don't
leave until it is over, but if it
should become necessary, don't
take this opportunity to make
your presence known.
Push back your seat, leave
quickly and leave no personal be
longings.
When music is offered, stop any
conversation at once.
In the Classroom
Courtesy to teacher is as im
portant as drawing room courtesy.
Unless school rules forbid, say
good morning to the teacher on
entering. A teacher is a business
associate and friend; treat her
with that respect.
When more than usual polite
ness is shown a teacher by a stu
dent, don't be the first person to
consider it a means for higher
marks Often times it determines a
person’s self-will.
Add the teacher's name to re
plies given to general questions
such as: “Yes, Miss Elder” or “1
shall be glad to. Miss Kite”. If
is also correct for boys to say.
“Yes Sir” or “I shall be glad to.;
Sir.”
Rattling of paper, drumming mov-1 on
desk with fingers or pencils,
ing papers, whispering or giggling
mark you as impolite and also
retards progress of class.
Make your time at school yield
to your diploma and your record
in your class-room count toward j
it.
Your Desk
Keep your desk clear of untidy
papers and put away all pencils,
pens and books, making yourself
ready for action.
Throw all waste in waste bas

Dad—“A guest towel, son.”

Teacher has the right to be

Commencement
Commencement time at
school often illustrates sadly the
cost of learning. Many are the
parents who can't afford some of
the social expenditures voted by
the class; therefore great is
courage necessary to prove you
appreciate all they have done by
seeking to repay them.
A diploma represents a great
amount of effort; but don t let
this be a further means of fool

About two months before grad

costumes. Boys often wear dark
shoes and suits. On the other hand
