“Our brain is, of course, the major
tool we bring to the task of living.
Like good mechanics we profit from
keeping our brains under continuous
study. Try this test on your mind:
First, humanity. A first class mind
is never cock sure; it is always will
ing to admit that it may be wrong.
Second, curiosity. A first class mind
is never satisfied with surface obser
vations. When it admits there is a
question for discussion, it is not sat
isfied with a sweeping judgement but
is willing to ferret out every detail
and see what bearing it has on the
subject.
Third, courage. A first class mind
is marked by a suathe blending of
courage and imagination; it is will
ing to follow a new idea if it is
sound, even if it upsets former ideas
and notions.
Fourth, responsibility. A first class
mind has a sense of responsibility of
handling new theories.
Humility makes open mindness;
Curiosity makes careful analysis,
Courage makes creativeness,
Responsibility makes reality.
In our English department we have
been studying Franklin’s autobiogra
phy. Our attention has been called to
the autobiography of the recent Val
entino, whose excellent record as a
motion picture actor has swept mil
lions of his admirers with 'emotion.
We ask you to notice the relative
amount of publicity aroused by the
simultaneous death of Valentino and
Dr. Chas. W. Eliot, who will rank as
one of America’s greatest products
long after the movie star has been
forgotten. .
“Every day, in every way, I m
growing'belter.” Dr. Emile Coup, the
famous Frenchman, who became the
popular leader of autosuggestion heal
ing movements, died July 2. We per
chance ran upon this information in
a necrology in a magazine. What is
wrong with our modern ideas of lit
erature?
Last Friday we cleared $4.50 from
our sale of candy and lemonade. This
will make it possible to add the Lit
erary Digest to our library.
We were delighted with the idea
that we are to have a spelling tourn
ament in which each of the high
schools shall engage. We will meet
all the other spellers in Trion, Oct. 4.
We wish to modify, readin’ and
ritin’ and 'rithmetic by saying, read
in’, ritin,’ rithmetic’ and be careful
you don’t get a spellin’ lick.!
We started to work for the fair
yesterday. Mr. Thomas has charge
of our boys’ athletics. Miss Hunt our
girls’. Miss Taylor spelling, Miss
Hunt experssion and declamation in
high schools; Miss Echols in the gram
mar department; Mrs. Story and Mrs
Thomas in charge of the exhibits.
Exams, this week! That’s enough.

Chattooga County Spelling League
At the meeting of the superintend
’ ents of Chattooga county plans were
’ made for forming a spelling league.
Spelling matches will be held at the
. five schools having high school de
partments in the order given below.
Each school will send four contest
ants, these to be selected from any
j grammar or high school grade. Con
, testants will be arranged on the
I stage at the school at which the con
t test is held, and the last one to miss
. a word will be declared the winner,
. and honors will go that pupils and
• the school he or she represents. A
t teacher from each school will ac
company the pupils and will assist in
1 conducting the spelling match on the
night of the contest. The "Mastery of
. Words,” Book 11, is the official spel
ler to be used in all contests.
The schedule is as follows:
Thursday night, Oct. 7th, 7:30 at
Trion.
Friday night, Oct. 22, 7:30 at Sum
r merville.
t Friday night, Oct. 29, 7:30 at Menlo.
Friday night, Nov. 12, 7:30, at
} Gore.
I After these schools have been a
[ round we hope to be able to interest
. all the rural schools in similar con
. tests.
f These spelling contests are intend
. ed to stimulate interest in spelling in
the schools of the county, and we
hope that the people of the county
. will take an interest in them and will
help make them a success. From our
observation we find that very few pu
pils in school learn to spell as they
should and we believe that if the
proper interest is taken a great good
i can be accomplished.
After the spelling contests are com
' pleted we hope to form a debating
| league.
It is unanimously agreed that a
i small admission of 10 cents will be
charged at each contest. This money
will go to the school at which the
, contest is held.
