BILL MORAN WAS HURT IN
A FOOTBALL GAME FRIDAY
SUr Half Back Carried Fraa. Field
With Broken Jaw ia Lut Half.
Condition Improved.
William Moran, star half back of
the G. M. C. football team, suffered
a serious injury in the early part of
the second half of the G. M. C.-Riv
erside football game last Friday af
ternoon on Davenport field.
Wee Willie, as he is known by his
mates and admirer.-, was one of the
stars of the game, and his deadly
tackling and terrific drive had been
a main factor in the G. M. C. play.
He had stood out at* one of the
brilliant performers of the game. On
the kick off in the second half he re
turned the ball forty yards and was
only stopped from a touch down by
the Riverside safety man. Although
very light and no match in physique
to the giants of Riverside he had
been v deadly tackier during the
game. His injury came a few min
utes after the brilliant run.
When the limp body of Wee Wil
lie Moran was carried from the field
the grout throng let up a mighty
cheer for thin young lad and every
person on the field, friend and foe
paid him a mighty tribute for his
wonderful playing.
Moran is one of the most popular
men in the school and his ttom mates
have admiration and love for him.
His unconquerable spirit has been
of grea: benefit to the team spirit.
With his jaw crushed and bleeding
Moran never once whimpered or
groaned under the terrific pain. Sev
eral hours lapsed before he was
made easy but he has never said
even as much hs ouch. It takes real
nerve an! grit like this to make

A CHILD WANDERED AWAY
FROM HOME SATURDAY
Located Abnl Taa Miles Away. Haw
Ska Cressad Ocomi a Mystary.
Bobbie Ellen, the little five-year
old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W.
Smith, who live near the plant of
the Oconee Brick and Tile Co., in
the northeastern section of the city,
wandered away from home last Sat
urday afternoon and for several
hour** her whereabouts was of much
concern to her parents and others.
When the child was missed and a
hurried search failed to locate her,
a searching party, which was joined
by Chief of Police Haynie, was or
ganized and the hunt commenced.
The way in which the child went led
towards the Oconee river, and the
crowd were soon making a search in
that direction. She could not be
found, however, and the anxiety of
the serachers increased.
About 10 o'clock in the night a
telephone message was received at
the store of Mr. Grover Adams, that
the little girl was safe and sound
at the home of Mr. Sam Blizzard,
nine or ten miles in the northeastern
section of the county. The child was
on the porch of the houwe before any
of the occupants knew of her pres
ence. An automobile was soon on
the way to bring htr back home.
How the child got across the river
and reached the home of Mr. Bliz
zard is not known, as she has failed
to give an intelligent account of her
wanderings. She is none the worse
for her experience.
The Ford roadster car belonging
to the Georgia Power Company was
stolen early in the night Sunday
last. The car had been parked in
front of the Power office and was
driven off by the thieves. The theft
was reported to Sheriff Terry and
city police headquarters, but no
trace has been found of it.
AN OLD COIN POUND.
In the dirt, which was hauled
from Clark street, near the G. S.
S. W. campus, an old coin bear
ing the name of William H. Har
rison, 1772, was found.
The rare coin is supposed to be
a twenty-five cent piece, but the
age has worn off the marking
showing the denomination.
WEEK OF PRAYER OBSERVED.
The week of prayer was observed
this week by the Woman’s Mission
ary Society of the Methodist church.
An interesting program was arrang
ed for each afternoon.

To acquaint the public with the

ideals, their achievements and their
needs is the purpose of American
Education Week. That this purpose

phasize the seven cardinal objectives
of education which are:
Sound health.
Worthy home membership.
Mastery of the tools, technics,
and spirit of learning.
4. Faithful citizenship.
5. Vocational effectiveness.
6. Wise use of leisure.
7. Ethical character.
American Education Week should
mean:
For Every Child: Appreciation of
his obligation to match the privilege
of free Hchooling with good spirit
and hearty endeavor.
>r Every Teacher: A new and
challenging call to serve the children
of this generation and to' work on
the problems of the profession.
For Every Parent: Fuller under
standing of the great adventure of
parenthood; its duties, privileges and
opportunities, more especially its
part in the education of children.

greatest collective enterprise, the
foundation of our liberties, the pro
tector of the achievement of our
glorius past, and the promise of full-
life for tomorrow.
