Mercer University has been placed
in Class A in the methods of teach
ing journalism, according to a report
made by a student at the University
of Wisconsin recently. The report
was given out at the meeting of the
American Association of Teachers of
Journalism held at Madison, Wis.,
December 27-30. Miss Virginia Gar
ner represented Mercer University
and Wesleyan College.
Miss Garner gave a talk on “The
Methods of Teaching News^mting,"
in which the fact that Mercer Uni
versity is the only institution in
which journalism is a required sub
ject, was remarked upon by the rep-
sentatives from over sixty univer
sities and colleges all overthe
United States. .The talk was illus
trated by copies of the Mercer Clus
ter, editions of the Macon .Telegraph
gotten out by the students of Mer
cer and Wesleyan, and by other pe
riodicals written by the two schdols
of journalism. ' v '•
Big Colleges

versity of Illinois. University of
Wisconsin, University of Kansas,

and many other institutions where
journalism is being taught. The

meeting.

lege, University of Texas and the
University of Louisiana were the
ohly Southern institutions having
representatives there. '' '

IIGIVEN ONCE OVER
Da. Newman Whipped Way to
Big Career.
By A. B. Cochran
“I earned my first dollar making
harness and whips,” said Dr, New
man when asked by the intorviewer'
ns to how he earned his first dollar. r.
Dr. Newman stated that his father
had a harness shop when he was q
.mall boy and in this way made his.
money working for . his father.
When asked where he was born, he
replied that Edgefield, S. C„ was his
birthplace, and that he was born on
August 25, 1852. “When I was in
school most of the boys-called me
Albert, but some called me . by my
second name, Henry,” was his reply
to a question concerning his nick
name us a boy, “I had no nickname'
when I was in college.” This last
statement also holds true as to I)r..
Newman’s nickname as a faculty
member, for investigation shows no
nickname was given him at Mcrfer.
“I guesjj church history is my
hobby now,”i he replied to a question. 1
Mrs. Newman who was also prpjt-
ent stated that Dr. .Newman had ex
pressed his. intention of being a
writer even when a young man be*- •
fore they were married. Dr. New- ‘
mun has been true to this statement,
for he is now known as the Baptists’ ’
greatest historian. He has written
and edited eight volumes . celebrated
in religious history as well as study..
He has taught in several colleges'of •
the United States and has .traveled j
in parts. of Europe. , •‘.. l
Good Paint is Cheap!
The statement that 'Good Paint Costs Nothing" was very strong
• few years ago when lumber was more plentiful than it is to-day
—and of better quality.
In this day when lumber has become expensive and its cost is
constantly increasing, a sentence which expresses the true value of
paint,—protecting and preserving the expensive article on which it
is placed,—would be something like this:
" Good Paint ia one of the beat inveatmenta
you can possibly make."
'Good Paint,' says a leading authority, 'is today the cheapest
■ commodity of daily life. While there has been some advance in
its price over the | asl ten years, owinq to increase in the cost of
raw materials and marked improvement in quality, steel and lumber
have advanced several hundred percent and other articles of
daily use accordingly.'
Compared w ith the materials it is used to conserve, Good Paint
is actually cheaper at present prices than ever before.
' Luca s Paint
Purposely Made for Every Purpose
Is suds to a standard 1 —uniform —of right materials tho
result of 67 years of careful, honest paint making. It
has life alastlcity beauty. It gives your home 6
25 to 50 percent better selling-value—better
LIVING value.

pressive mariner of the death during — ———r——:—=—: ^
the vacation of a former and much
beloved Dean of Women of Bessie
Tift College, Miss Evie Campbell.
Her death was the result of an op
eration.
Miss Campbell was an unusual
woman, strong intellectually and
beautiful in character. She was a
graduate of Bessie Tift College and
later Dean of Women. By her beau
tiful example, influence and instruc
tion, holding constantly before the
young ladies such high ideals and
urgiiig then! to strive for nothing
lower, her life is so irtterwoven with
the college that she will ever live in
the lives of Bessie Tift girls and
many a heart was -saddened by the
news of her death. Her last service
was rendered as Dean of 1 ’Women at
