A BALANCED COURSE OF STUDY
Eula Kate Williams
Are we failing to give the mem
bers of the younger generation the
education they need to carry them
through a long, prosperous life? Our
educators are continually working on
the question of a balanced curricu
‘jum, What have they accomplished?
1s there room for further improve
ment?
A very great and wise man, who
came to America, was asked what
could be done to get rid of crime
and crimnals, to stop the social evlil,
abolish slums and to clean our
states and cities of poverty.
He said it would take thirty-three
years or one generation but it cer
tainly could be done, if his plan was
followed, which was to enlarge the
public school system until it pro
vides for the free education and eco
nomic support of all the population
under twenty. He said to reforny the
public schools that the children
might he taught how to live, that is
moral character, including honesty,
cleanilness, the value of truth, and
the courage to tell and live the
truth. They should be trained in
politics and the schools should we as
‘democratic as the nation.
.. In conclugion he said, “Jus. ray
attention to one generation of chil
dren and it will save.you i hundred
years labor with adults,”
Many people have said that the
study of Latin, Greek, Geometry and
Trigonometry was entire'ly » wasto
of time, but we 1o not think so.
They think that other subjects which
have more relation to peatical life
shoyld be token. Wnao ahon' ceome
try and triconum:tey for our ongin
neers? Fo: rls, P Cran his
editorial ¢ ! “Food &nl Trigo
nometry,” sovs that the .:iionome
try book should Dbe th*own in the
trash pile and that the young girl
should be instru: 34 in foods. Ile
says that highac mathemntics trein
the mind, but that to acquire a
thorough knowledge of food stuffs
and the art of preparation is just as
good to train the mind.
‘ln our high school, the girl who
takes Latin ana Geometry also has
Sewing or .cooking, hesides the
English, which is and always will be
taught throughout aln - grades in
high Bchool. We have American his
tory and will later take up our gov
ernment.
Regarding Latin, the New York
Herald-Tribune points the following
paragraph: :
“The convincing reason why Latin
must remain in the curriculum s
the fact that it is embedded in the
English language. No American stu
dent who has avoided Llutin can
hope to have a full command or un
derstanding of his native tongue.?’
We have in the English language
80 many words derived from the
Latin language that it is so much
easier for anyone to understand his
own language better and also many
Southern ‘European languages as
French, Italian and Sranish, if he is
familiar with Latin.
We do not think that Latin should
be dropped entirely from the curri
culum but it can be overdone. During
the first year of college, to take
music, one other subject must be
dropped. Should a person take Latin
and neglect music? Should anyone
take Calculus and neglect Cooking
or Manual Training?
Dr. Andrew M. Soule, president of
the Georgla State College or .agri
culture says: “To what finer pur-
Pose can ‘we dedicate our education
al effort than that of: First develop
ing wholesome men and women with
strong and vigorous bodies in which
sound minds may find aecceptable
residence; Second, so training their
minds bodies and souls as to enable
them to function as cvordinate en
tities; Thirq, transforming the in
dividual student into a progressive,
dominating, cultured and scholarly
personality who can utilize to tha
fullest extent all the latent re
‘sources of the commur.iy in which
he lives.
Our educators have planned well,
but their ideals cannot be reached
in a single bound. This fact makes
it rlain that there must be no let
up in the woric of the scho world.
Each pers:: h:s onme you'h 1o live;
every ye:.: a precic neciod of

‘women of tomorrow.

for the holidays .on every train now
from their respective schools. They
are all full of life and ready for a

and riding by the school, blowing
their horns and trying to make us
envy them.

big things from the boys this year.
A second team was organized Tues
lay while the varsity took a day off.
This team is composed of Shorty
Heidt, Ed Powers, Jack ‘Williams,
Edwin Robuck, Lane Childers and
IMfitcheu Rogers. This team has been
giving the varsity some fine practice
lately and if they keep on improving
as they have been Cordele High will

MYSTERY OF THE POWDER HORN

' Mildred Brown
Soon they reappeared calling ex
citedly, ‘‘Father, we have found
brether John’s gold wateh and the sil
ver which we brought from England
and everything,’?
Finally their father managed {o get
the following story from them; :
~ ‘“Well father, when T found old
Uncle Alec’s powder horn, I remember
}ed that he told us long time ago that
jthe horn was charmed and that any
‘body that loaded his gun with powder
from it would never miss g shot. o I’
decided to go hunting right away. ;
I went into the attic to fill the horn
with fresh powder but it seemed to be
filied with something soft like cotton
After predding arcund in the horn T
pulled out this ole’ piece of sheep-skin,
Then T remembered about Unele Alec
burying that ole’ chest wifh John’s
wateh and some valuable treasures‘
that mother could mnot risk with any
one else and how Uncle Alee was found
dead in his bed next morning. I heard
mother say so much of how she told
Unele Alee to make some secret record
of the place where he buried it, yon
know how he could do the Indianl
writing, and not tell any of them gbout
it and time to stay hidden in a chave
while Sherman’s army was that re
gion. They had all heard that Sk
man’s soldiers were torturing people
to make them tell where their treasures
were hidden. Then I thought this must
be the record of where the treasure was
hidden. I wouldn’t tell anybody at
first for fear I was mistaken and I had
‘heard You say so often that if yon
‘could just find the watch grandfather
left brother John you counld get over
his dying while you were away at war.
I walked around out where the eabin
stood and asked you all about the old
quarters and finally figured it this way,
ART IN OUR
EXPRESSION
This big old square thing with the
little round ring by it must have been
Unele Alee’s eabin and the ring was
the well. The three squares were the
Cabins at the turn of the lane and this
little erooked line was the path that
leads to the spring in the woods.
~ You know how Unecle Alec was about
measuring distances by step and then
I thought the tkings that- look like
tracks must have been steps. See?
Twenty to the east, twenty to the natth
and twenty to the west leads (v this
stump with the chest-nut drawn by it.
‘lt was the stump of the old ehestnut
tree killed by lightening. After I final
ly got it measured the stump was al
most rotten and at first T didn’t recog
nize it. I dug away all the afternoon
until I had dug a hole big enough to
bury myself in. Finally when I had
given up hope and started to c]infib{
out I fell back on the shovel and in
the mix-ip T broke off a root from the
old stump. There I saw that the stump
under ground was hollow = T hated: to
give up after working so hard so T
reached my hand into the hollow and
it struck a metal box. T had to come
and get Mary to help me get it and
bring it home as the box was falling to
| pieces ’— ¥
Here Mary who could keep giet no’
longer broke in. ! :
‘And father we had to tie the thing
up in my apron and -- - that old var
nish has gotten ali over it! what will

apron was’ forgotten in the jubilee’
that followed. 7 |
