and Sunday of last week. The
main feature of the conference was
to discuss the problems of a college

All Saints Church at All Saints Par­ish
House. Again on Sunday morn­ing
breakfast was served in honor of
the guests. Thru the courtesy of the
Georgia Tech Athletic association the
visiting students were taken to the
Georgia Tech-North Carolina game at
Grant Field.
On Satudray night in a one hour
conference the students studied
Church and Campus, preceded by an

Professors Turn
Students; Attend
Education Talks
The tables have turned! The prof­essors
and instructors at the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute last week be­came
students again and attended
classes as they used to do in their
undergraduate days. Like students
they attended lectures, took notes and
asked questions. These professors
listened attentively to their instruc­tor,
though and none of them slept
while the classes were in session.
Keeping abreast with the times
with regard to the latest discoveries
in the most effective methods of
teaching college students, and in line
with the national movement among
Land Grant colleges in the United
States to improve the quality of the
instruction offered, President Spright
Dowell for the second year has
brought to the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute an eminent educator for the
purpose of delivering lectures on the
latest developments in the .field of
college instruction. This progressive
move on the part of Dr. Dowell has
received the vigorous approval of
the faculty members.
To this end Dr. F. D. McClusky,
associate director of the Scarborough
school in New York gave a series of
lectures during the past week which
was attended by practically the en-

Women Students Invade Co­lumbus
With Boys
WEAR COLORS A N D CHEER
It is quite true that the women stu­dents
are outnumbered about fifteen
to one by the men at Auburn, but
they cannot outdo them when it
comes to spirit and support. We are
al) familiar with the slogan 99 and
44-100 per cent pure as advertised
by the manufacturer of Ivory Soap.
Well, the co-eds were 99 44-100 per
cent present at the Georgia-Auburn
combat last Saturday. On the streets
of Columbia and at the stadium they
proudly wore the famous Orange and
Blue. When the ball went sailing
through the goal posts to make Au­burn's
score of three points the co­eds
were cheering as hard, or perhaps
a little harder than any of the rest.
However*" they did not stop here, for
until the final whistle blew you could
hear the familiar cry. of "eat 'em up,
Tigers," or "hold that line," on the
Rps of every co-ed present. They
returned from the annual battle a
tired but proud group still cheering
and backing the fighting Tigers.
REV. LESLIE GLENN
IS SPEAKER HERE
New York Men Addresses St. Pauls'
Club Monday
Rev. Leslie Glenn of New York
City, Student Secretary of the Na­tional
Council of Episcopal Students,
was the speaker at a meeting of
Saint Paul's Club of the Episcopal
Church on Monday evening October
24th.
Before studying for the ministry
Rev. Glenn graduated from Stephens
Tech and his theme was introduced
with a discussion of applied mechan­ics.
He spoke of the ^nany types of
perpetual motion machines present­ed
for inspection during his engineer­ing
course and of the men who spend
the major portion of their lives try­ing
to perfect a machine that will run
indefinitely without a renewal of any
outside help or influence. Such a
machine is impossible because it is
opposed to the laws of physics and
mechanics.
"It is the same way with spiritual
as well as physical life", said Rev.
Glenn. "There mtfet be something
continually coming in from the out­side
to supply used-up energy. Mar-

CO-EDS UP IN ARMS
AT EMORY RULING
Council Bars Women Student* From
Swimming Pool
Coeds at Emory university are up
in arms because the athletic council
has ruled that they will be barred
from the campus swimming pool when
it is reopened next spring.
So says the Emory Wheel, weekly
student publication, in its current is­sue,
which quotes two of those af­fected.
"Since coeds are not given equality
in such activities at Emory, we ought
to be allowed to go in swimming,"
the Wheel quotes Kiss Frances Cross-well,
freshman, as saying. "Most of
us can swim as well as boys and it is
certainly depriving us of a great
pleasure."
Miss Ella May Hollingsworth, who
entered Emory, this fall as a junior,
is quoted by the Wheel as saying:
"They don't seem to want to give
us equality. I don't agree at all
to the statement that it is unfair to
the boys. It's fair to the girls."
Coincidentally with this outburst,
President Harvey W. Cox has an­nounced
that plans have been com­pleted
by architects for covering the
pool and heating it for winter smim-ming.
STATE METHODIST
PUPILS ORGANIZE
Officers Will Be Chosen at February
Meeting of Delegate*
The Methodist Students Associa­tion
of Alabama met for its second
southern conference at Birmingham
Southern College Feb. 17-19, it has

of the group, which organized
Saturday on the Hilltop campus with
25 representatives present from five
institutions.
The colleges reprsented were the
University of Alabama, Auburn, Ala­bama
College, Jacksonville State Nor-imfPand
Birmingham Southern. At
the conference in February every
Methodist college and state institu­tion
in Alabama will be represented.
The executive committee appointed
to draw up a constitution and pre­pare
a program for the February
meeting, when officers will be chos­en,
is composed of chairman, B. M.
Murphree, of the university; C. W.
Thompson, Jacksonville Normal; W.
T. Edwards, AuDurn; Aloise Hurd,
Montevallo and H. K. Barnes, Bir­mingham

Birmingham Southern following the
conference by a luncheon in the col­lege
cafeteria.
Engineer's First
Issue Of Year Is
Excellent Number
This month's issue of the Auburn
Engineer is one of the best numbers
that has been produced since the be­ginning
of its publication, something
over two years ago. A very interest­ing
article by Edgar R. Hauser, e.e.
'29 on "The Electric Transient Ana­lysis
by Means of Oscillograph", ap­peared
in this issue. It may be in­teresting
to note that this was the
winning article in the Eta Kappa Nu
Slide Rule Contest of last year.
Another article that should be of
particular interest to Freshmen and
Sophomores who plan to continue
military training in their Jnuior and
Senior years, was a sketch of the
R. 0. T. C. camp activities at Fort
Benning, during the past summer.
A technical article on the construc­tion
of Spar Bridges was well re­ceived
by its readers and contains
numerous hints that should prove
beneficial to engineers. "Developing
a Pleasing Personality", an article
Dr. Charters brought out many points
that, if followed, would indeed de­velop
an ideal personality.
Also quite a bit of news about our
Alumni is to be found in this num­ber.
A page under the title of
"Technical Tidbits" contains a num­ber
of short, interesting articles on
the various activities of the world,
and should be of interest to all.
"Campus Notes", is a new feature of
the Auburn Engineer began this
month. A page under this title will
appear each month containing in­teresting
news about the various ac­tivities
going on about the campus.
A very appropriate display of the
Auburn Engineer was put on last
week in. one of the. show windows of
the Student Supply Shop. The pur­pose
of this display-was to remind the
students that Auburn has an en­gineering
mazazine and to urge them
to subscribe to it.
Rings Selected
By Committees
For Two Classes
The senior ring committees of both
the senior and the junior class have
received bids and have let contracts
for their rings. The Senior commit­tee
with Mr. Bolton Shotts as chair­man
has signed a contract with Elliott
& Company of Philadelphia. The
Junior committee has given their con­tract
to Klein & Sons of Montgom­ery.
These companies are now ready
to supply the students and the com­mittees
urge that the rings be pur­chased
as soon as possible.
NOTICE!
All reporters for both literary and
technical societies must have their
articles in no later than 9 a. m. Wed­nesday
preceeding date of issue. No
article will be published which is not
typewritten and double spaced and
signed.
FORTY YOUNG

Forty young Alabama singers, pre­sumably
the best in the state from
more than twenty towns, represent­ing

before the microphone in Station
WAPI at Auburn last Friday and Sat­urday
nights and sang for fame and
fortune in the Alabama State Con­test
in the National Radio Audition
which the Atwater Kent foundation
is conducting throughout America.
Two of them, one boy and one
girl, emerged as state champions to
represent Alabama in the District
Audition to be broadcast over Sat-tion
W.S.B. in Atlanta, November
22 and 23, when they wil lcompete
with champions of the other nine

which make up the audition district
No. three. As state winners they

by the faculty, and will be pub­lished
by the Sigma Upsilon, honorary
national literary fraternity.
Cline and Bailey early this week
will announce plans for a contest, the
object of which will be to select a
name for the publication. Plans for
the comic magazine have been under
way since early in the 1925-26 school

talent been found which could fi­nance
and turn out such a publica­tion.
Editors and members of the
proposed staff are studying other col­lege
comics in preparation for the

FACULTY MEMBERS
DOCTOR THOMAS
Doctor Thomas, our school physician, has made a wonderful record
during his term of office here. He proudly boasts the fact that
his batting average is .666, having to his credit twice as many
. recoveries as fatilities. Doctor Thomas was born in the year 1889,
the same year, you will remember, that Lydia E. Pinkham made
her gift to humanity. He was christened Benjamin Franklin, be­cause
of his tendency at an early age to be a live-wire. He later
proved his name to be well chosen by becoming an adept at the
art of kite-flying. After finishing the grammar and high schools,
Benjie reflected as to his life work. Now all his life Benjie had
been a great whittler, using the pocket knife in a manner that
• would befit any grocery-store artist. On this account he decided
to take up medicine. He entered a well known medical school and
after many years of hard labor he received the degree of M. D.
(Miserable Doctor or Doctor of Misery). He then came to Auburn
where he has practiced (on us) for the last several.years.
Besides his position as school physician, Doctor Thomas is local
representative for the Hacksum Saw and Chisel Company of Lan­sing,
Michigan. He also indorses Parkham's Pink Pills for Pale
People, he himself being a living example of their quality.
The Doctor's younger brother, Victor, is the junior partner of the
firm Crepe and Thomas, local undertakers, who have done a thriv­ing
business during the past several years.
As a side line, the Doctor tries his hand at inventions. He is
now working on a manuscript lie detector, which when placed,over
writing will detect whether it istruthful. This is to be used on the
sick list as soon as it 1B completed.
It is of the greatest interest to our
institution to note the rise and ac­complishments
of an Auburn gradu­ate.
Dr. John B. Clark, a native of
Marion, Alabama and an Auburn
alumnus, has attained phenomenal
success in college educational work.
After an unusually brilliant college
career, Dr. Clarke obtained a B. S.
Degree at Auburn in 1907. In 1910
he received an A. M. Degree at Van-derbilt,
and another at Harvard in
1911. In 1922 he completed his resi­dence
work for a Ph. D. Degree at
Columbia University and in 1926 he
received his Ph. D. Degree from New
York University.
From 1920 to 1927, excepting the
years 1924 to 1926, Dr. Clarke was
head of the department of Econo­mics
at Auburn. During these years
of service to our college, he was high­ly
respected by both the student body
and the faculty. At the beginning
of the present school term Dr. Clark
left Auburn to become Dean and Pro­fessor
of Economics and History at
Judson College.
During the past week his thesis,
written in partial fulfillment of the
requirements for the Degree of Doc­tor
of Philosophy at New York Uni­versity,
was published at Auburn. The
name of this work is "Populism in Ala
fbama" (1874-1896.) The cotatents
of this book may be summed up brief­ly
under the folowingjieads: (1) the

AUBURN TIGERS
DETERMINED TO
DOWN HOWARD
Shotts Not in Lineup On
Account of Injuries
AUBURN NEVER DOWNED
BY TEAM FROM EAST LAKE
Tigers Out For Blood After
Defeat by Georgia
Following the defeat handed the
Tigers at the hands of the strong
Bulldog aggregation in Columbus last
Saturday, Pitts & Co., are deter­mined
to make the count Even Ste­ven;
as far as the Bulldogs are-con­cerned.
The Howard pups are her*
aided as one of the strongest out­fits
ever assembled by any S. I. A.
A. College and boast of the fastest
backfield runners in that class. In­cidentally,
this miracle backfield
goes by the name of "the four B's".
Mr. Billy Bancroft, sprinter, is the
chief threat and has had two pre­vious
chances to pierce an Auburn
line, but has never been able to
stand the gaff in a Tiger affray.
Lets hope he doesn't see the entire
-sixty minutes in this fray.
During the scrimmages this past
week, considerable force was placed
in the backfield. Murray "Biff"
Hoffman, former end was shifted to
fullback post during the absence of
Shotts. He has plenty of beef and
should go well. And with Mike
Fisher and Snitz Snyder ready once
more to carry the oval, a real offen­sive
game should be in vogue. Both
Fisher and Snider were out of the
Georgia battle due to injuries, but
are now on the O. K. list again. Last
year, it was these two lads that
crumbled all hopes the Howard club
ever had of winning whan they were
inserted during the second half.
Howard was then leading 13-7. But
Snitz and Mike thought it a track
meet and ran up four touchdowns so
fast that Birmingham became asham­ed
of themselves. For it seems that
Birmingham is simply living to see a
Birmingham eleven trounce a Tiger
outfit, something that has never been
done. And won't!
Howard's plays were in full force
on Drake field during the past week's
scrimmages and looked fairly well,
but the line got on to them very fast
and succeeded in cogging up all holes
and leaks. The line should be even
more vulnerable this week than it
was in Montgomery against L. S. U.
Spinks is back in the game again and
will add considerably to the strength
He was out the past week with a bad
hip.
Bolton Shotts will not likely see
much action as he is still suffering
from an injury suffered last Satur­day.
But his position is well fortified
with Granger, Sellers and Hoffman
running his post.
The line-up will very likely be as
it was last week-end. The fast backs
have returned and much speed is ex­pected
by all. Let's all be at the
matinee and yell as if we were at
Rickwood Field. Back that Team!

Alabama Schools
Get Check Monday
Railroads Tax Money Goes to U. of
A. and Montevallo
The University of Alabama and
also Alabama College received checks
for more than one-hundred-thousand
dollars Monday afternoon, this amount
represents the appropriations made
by the state for the suport of the in­stitutions
for a period of three
months beginning October 1st. The
University was given $83,151.44 and
Alabama College $46,905.94.
Governor Graves stated that these
payments were possible at this time
because the railroads had paid the
license tax of two and one half per­cent
of gross receipts before it be­came
delinquent.
The Alabama Power Company,
which is required to pay a kilowatt
tax, has not yet made a remittance to
the treasurer. The Frisco Railway
announced that the payment of their
tax which amounted to $22,639.98
was made under protest.

The foundation of any business is hon­esty.
We are judged by our higher points, not
at low tide.
Today's progress is founded on the
triumphs of the living dead.
Exercise those finer qualities in your
character for exercise develops them.
Talent alone is vastly insufficient for
ones success in a profession. There is the
person equation that must be solved after
training has been considered.
From all appearances it is evident that
the co-eds gave bodily support to the team
last Saturday. It is reasonable to suppose
that the enormous wait crushed many
hearts.
The nearest approach to perpetual mo­tion
is when an error is made. It goes
on and on and being blocked by a stronger
force may never be totally destroyed.
IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT:
—The Auburn representatives attending
the Baptist Student's Convention at Monte-vallo
recently are safely and singly back
on the campus again!
An unintentionally overheard conversa­tion
emerging from the Y office Wednes­day
afternoon ran thus: "If somebody gave
me ten dollars I'-d go straight to Monte-vallo."
Why to Montevallo?
The speech of Montevallo's President in
upperclassman convocation Thursday was
greatly enjoyed. In an effort to prove
our appreciation of his appearance here,
we suggest that our students be allowed to
return the favor by staging individual
speeches on his campus!
Some out-of-town observer has been read­ing
the newspaper. He suggests that every
Rat here be sentenced to the penitentiary
for the mild expression of their enthusiasm
just after a recent mass meeting.
Georgia didn't have twelve horsemen,
rather than just four.
We can let bygones be bygones—but
watch out Howard!
There arises a difficult question in the
thought of which course will be easiest to
fail; and too, which prof will have the most
fun preparing mid-semester quizzes.
Pretty soon, perhaps, there'll be a change
in the weather.
Behind the darkest course, there lies a
darker one! Though when it's passed—ain't
it a grand and glorious feeling?
We can hardly find reason for cutting a
"bull session" in order to prepare an ap-
' proaching recitation. Pretty soon we hope
to be given quality points on attending
these expounding parties.
Convocation period is' the life of business
for the magazine dealer.
Groans of complaint issuing from drousy
students are common during lecture periods;
they complain of being robbed of pleasant
sleep by the chatter of the Prof.
The Army football team has suffered
heavy losses this year by losing six men
from the frist string squad because of
classroom deficiences.'
FRESHMAN SPIRIT
Much time has passed since the opening
of college and with it we have lost much
of the freshness and attention to some of
the important, things in our life here. It
is apparent to many of us that the fresh­man
spirit is on the decline. There are too
few rat caps being worn and smoking rules
are not being observed in the stricter sense.
One never hears a 'war eagle' or other
familiar cry now. We realize that those
of the older set are-inclined to believe that
conditions are not what they were 'back
in the .good old days' and we agree that
things are not what they should be. <.
Hazing is one of\the best things that
has ever been introduced into the collegi­ate
world. Like everything else it has
been carried to the extreme in a few
isolated cases. On the other hand it is not
recorded how many men it has made. One
who has been in college for some time can
help but endorse the snobbish eliminator.
Ratting is used by upperclassmen to subdue
the know-it-all attitude of many men that
swarm into our colleges each year. Such
a system is probably the best way to rid
the subject of the superiority complex. It
is regretful that some of the upperclassmen
.cannot be subjected to some of the rules.
Many men come to college with the wrong
viewpoint. They undoubtedly have their
attitude considerably righted by under:
going hazing and being subjected to regula­tions.
It is needless to say that this noticeable
indifference to the rules is the fault of the
upperclassmen. Such a laxness should not
be tolerated. The vigilance committee asks
your cooperation and in obeying these regu­lations
and in seeing that those rules set
fourth by the student body are rigidly en­forced.
CLASS MEMORIALS
At many of the older institutions it has
been the custom for each class to contri­bute
something to perpetuate their memory.
This practice is one that adds materially
to the college andshould be revived here
at Auburn.
During past years certain notable classes
have placed on our campus gifts that have
proven beautiful and useful. This custom
is one thing since laid aside by succeeding
class groups. -
In some colleges it is a long established
tradition for classes to leave an ever pres­ent
reminder to their posterity that the
class as a whole, were interestd enough in
their alma mater to contribute something
to its material wealth and beauty.
A south eastern college has its campus
adorned with several imposing entrance
gates. One post each year has been pre­sented
by the senior class of that year. In
this way no over burden has been placed
on the class treasury. The ceremonies
connected with the presentation and erec­tion
of these memorials are outstanding
campus events and have come to be tradi­tional
in the life of that college.
Some action should be taken by the senior
class in regard to the^ presentation of an
appropriate gift to the institution. It need
not be unduly expensive to be beautiful nor
of large proportions to be effective. Cer­tainly
the time for the presentation of a
suitable mmorial is now and the donors
should be the class of twenty eight.
WASTED GENIUS
One of the great evils of the college to­day
is that the student does not think. This
may be attributed to the heavy duies of
the, student, nevertheless there are a few
who have labored under adverse circum­stances.
Is it that there is too little ori­ginal
thinking in our institutions of high­er
learning today)? Have we departed
from the age of 'studious cloisters'? With
reference to the conditions as they exist
in a number of the higher institutions the
New Student says:
"Have you a solution to the world's evils
against which you rebel?
Are you a genius?'
"If you cannot solve the world's ills, and
if you are not a genius don't rebel. You'll
get kicked out of college, all right, but no
one will crown you, unless it's an offended
president or student.
"The Roundup, of the New Mexico A. &
M. college, has brought the whole problem
of college kick-outs, down to this: 'there is
no advantage in rebelling against the pres­ent
order unless you are absolutely con­vinced
that you have a solution to the
evils against whcih you rebel" and "The
past seems to prove that only genius can
rebel and come out on top. When the aver­age
person is expelled because of dissipa­tion,
lack of interest in things scholastic,
and general flagrancy, it is only best for
the majority, and does not place a crown
on. the victim.'
"The New Student advises all students
considering getting kicked out of college to
take intelligence tests. All failing to score
at least 189 had better go back to the books
and sweat rebellion out of their souls. They
will have to give up hope of joining the
company of Shelley, Locke and Gibbon, et.
al, but that disappointment should be miti­gated
somewhat by the prospects of en-shrinement
with the successes in, Who's
Who."
DISCIPLINE IN COLLEGE
The word "discipline" is defined in the
dictionary as "treatment .suited to a dis­ciple
or learner; training; drill. What is
its application to life at Auburn?
The college was' founded upon discipline.
Through some limitation and extortion an
organization was formed and developed
into what was known as a college or place
of learning, where, by means of discipline
the students were taught a knowledge of
so "mpractical subject. A faculty was or­ganized'
and disciplined, that is the mem­bers
cooperated under certain rules. The
students Came to college and were instruct­ed
by means of regulations which were new
to the student but by no means unjust.
This process has continued to evolve through
the years up to the present date.
• What is the purpose of discipline? From
the "definition we note that it is a "treat­ment
or training SUITED to the learner."
It is not a^law that is unadvisable or radi­cal
but is suited to the learner. Prejudice
for any one person or group of persons did
not actuate its establishment but on the
contrary a motive of helpfulness for the
one osubjected.
Suppose that a child is born into a family
and taught practically nothing in regard to
behavior, politeness or manners. Suppose
he is not taught to receive instructions
from those superior in age. When this ex­treme
protegee meets the world and enters
society he cannot begin immediately to re­ceive
instruction or inform anyone else for
he has had training in none of these prac­tices
at home.
For the same reason a college must have
discipline. Experience has shown that a
man must first be able to receive instruc­tion
or inform anyone else for he has had
training in none of these practices at home.
For the same reason a college must have
discipline. Experience has shown that a
man must first be able to receive instruction
before he can reach a position from which
he can extract any duty from others. Un­less
he can do this he is useless to the
world and humanity, for which man was
virtually created.
i f then the suggestion may arise that cer­tain
functions of the college are governed
under too severe a "law" or regulation we
should but realize that they were created
for the individual benefit of those subjected.
A summation might be: Be able to receive
instruction through a "suitable treatment"
in order to give instruction in later life.
Book Review
CHAINS: LESSER NOVELS AND SHORT
STORIES
In 1926 Theodore Dreiser published An
American Tragedy, which has been con­sidered
as one of the peaks in American
writing. This year he has published a col­lection
of short stories under the common
name of Chains; published by Boni and
Liveright, New York. The name Chains
refers to one of the stories in the collection,
and indicates, also, what Dreiser calls "the
inevitabilities of our fate."
This is not Mr. Dreiser's first venture
into short story writing. Previous to
Chains, he had published Free and Other
Stories and Twelve Men, which had done
much to establish his reputation as one of
the foremost modern writers even before
the American Tragedy won its recognition.
In this latest collection, he continues his
efforts to portray characters struggling
against the forces of life which determine
their existence. As a short story writer,
he is most successful in the plain narration
of the story, least successful when he at­tempts
to draw his conclusions and to be
subtle. His foreword, "The inevitabilities
of our fate are: Love and hope, fear and
death, interwoven with our lacks, inhibi­tions,
pealousies and greeds," is true enough
and, in effect at least, has been said before,'
but after all what does it mean? One
must get the effect of his stories from the
impression created by the whole narrative;
he does not give it by any one well turned
sentence. - •; .."".''..'...''..'
Yet the whole tone and subject matter of
the stories is a result of the conclusions
voiced in the foreword. Although the tone
of the foreword sounds as if the attitude
might be pessimistic and cynical in the ex­treme,
the attitude taken is rather that
these inevitabilities are noth through any
fault of the person; so we must, and he does,
feel a sympathy for those who are unable
to meet difficulties and overcome them,
even though his feeling to make him fail
to see the situation as it is.
He has even more of a sense of the fu­tility
of struggle than has Conrad, and like
Conrad, believes that man's greatness lies
in his struggle to overcome difficulties
which are not to be overcome. One is sur­prised
at the patience with which he re­gards
his people. With all of his fatalism,
he has a feeling of sympathy for those who
are making the struggle which makes us
forget his apparent pessimism and to see
only the greatness of the struggle.
It doesn't do much good to have people
pulling for you when-you have a rope
around your neck.

Reminiscences from the Orange and Blue,
Issue of Saturday, Oct. 26, 1912
Mississippi "Aggies" Defeated by the
Orange and Blue Tigers.
Birmingham, October 25, (1912). In the
annual battle today at Rickwood Park, the
Agricultural and Mechanical College of
Mississippi went down in defeat before
the Orange and Blue Tigers of Auburn, by
the score of 7-0.

Today the mighty Tigers from the old
Orange and "Blue Station meet the Howard
Bulldogs at Rickwood. Their opposition
may prove a bit interesting but of course
the scoring won't be held as close against
us as that quoted above. And we still rem­ember
that Billy is with them this year.
The Plainsman will meet the Miss A.
and M. Aggies in Birmingham at a later
date. We are going good for an even more
decisive victory this season.

Amond the southern states Alabama
has the third highest index number
for farm land values. This is en­couraging
as it indicates that Alabama
enjoys a more stable prosperity than
many of the other southern states.
The index number of Alabama for
1927 is 145, this means that farm land
in Alabama is 45 per cent more val­uable
today than it was at the out­break
of the world war. There are
many reasons why Alabama farm land
has made this rise.
Alabama has entered upon an in­dustrial
era. This makes the land
near the cities, towns and mills valu­able
for truck crops and other things
that the wage earners will need and
want. Cotton has been displaced in
many areas by crops whose market
values are somewhat more stable, and
cotton prices themselves in the main
have been good. Better roads and
schools have also played an important

Auburn is to be a town of green
lawns this Winter. At their weekly
luncheon each member of/the Lions
Club having a lawn pledged himself
to make it green during the Winter;
and Italian rye grass will be planted
for this purpose.
The proposal was made by the city
beautiful committee, of which Prof.
C. L. Isbell is chairman. Milligan
Earnest, another member of the com­mittee,
made the proposal for 100 per
cent green lawns.
At the same time the committee dis­tributed
instructions for planting
lawn grasses, advising that Italian
rye grass seed be planted immediate­ly.
Those who want to plan for lawns
for next Spring and Summer are ad­vised
to use Bermuda. Where there
is much shade, English ivy is recom­mended
in place of Bermuda. Carpet
grass and white clover are also good
Summer lawn plants- where there is
sufficient moisture. In the Southern
part of the state St. Augustine grass
is good.
Prof. M. L. Nichols, chairman of
the committee of education, and Em
mett Sizemore, former president of
the club, discussed the proposal of ob­serving
a week for the blind. They
said that from one-tenth to one-fif-teenth
of the population of the Unit­ed
States and Canada are blind and
that approximately 50 per cent of the
population of these two countries
have defective eyesight. Eighty per
cent of those who are blrhd today be­came
blind after their twentieth birth­days,

The freshmen enjoyed an unusual
program in chapel last Tuesday. The
college presented speakers from most
of the honor societies and fraternities
on,the campus.-
The most interesting speakers were
representatives of the Scabbard and
Blade, Botegha and Spades.
The Spades is an honor society, fos­tering
leadership, scholarship and
personality. Out of fifteen hundred
students ten are selected each year
from the junior class. To be a mem­ber
of the Spades is considered one
of the highest honors conferred on
an Auburn man.
The Botegha is an honor society
fostering leadership and scholarship
in the architectural department.
The Scabbard and Blade is a na­tional
honor society for cadets tak­ing,
military training for three years,
They too must excel in scholarship
and personality.
The speaker for the day wah Mr.
Glenn, he made a humorous talk on
"The Relationship of the Modern Hu­man
Race to Perpetual Motion." This
short talk was enjoyed by all.
Prof. Baughman again stressed the
importance of the freshman working
hard for three years so as to be
eligible for honor societies his senior
year.
Prof. Baughmans talk concluded the
program for the day.
The setting of the sun on Sunday
evening, October 23, marked the

SPORTS Plainsmen Face Howard in
Birmingham This Saturday
GEORGIA BULLDOGS DOWN
TIGERS IN ANNUAL GAME
Ingram's Place.Kick In First Quarter Auburn's
Lone Tally'
After starting out in breath taking
fashion, Auburn's Tigers were crush­ed
in the second quarter when the
four horsement from Georgia ran
wild to score four touchdowns. The
Bulldogs that conquered a strong
Yale eleven were too much of an as­signment
for Boozer Pitts' rejuvenat­ed
Tigers, who had fought L. S. U.
almost to a standstill the week pre­vious
after a most disastrous season's
beginning.
The score is not truly indicative of
the terrific fight over in Columbus
last Saturday afternoon. The Tigers
fought unremittingly against what
many are acclaiming as Georgia's
greatest football team. As a matter
of fact, the Plainsman were leading
until shortly after the opening ofthe
second quarter by virtue of a goal
from placement, booted between the
bars from the 20-yard line. The tally
stood at 3 to 0 until Coach Woodruff
flung his four horsemefiin;
fray andthgy ^jfoceeded to go through
the touchdown act four times, putting
the scttise at 27 to S when the half
ended. ; The Tigers excelled in only
one department, the Bulldogs seem­ing
off color when it came to kicking
the oval. Georgia averaged only 26
yards per boot, which was far below
the mark hung up by Crawford and
Tamplin for Auburn, who toed the
leather a dozen times for an average
yardage of 37.

initial meet of the season, Coach Wil­bur
Hutsell's road runners will take
on the strong University of Georgia
outfit on the campus. This is the
first of a series-of dual meets in
which the Tiger runners will partici­pate
in the near future. The race
will start in front of the Library and
end in the same place. It will be over
a three mile course and will be of­ficiated
by Lieut. Leitch. The char­ges
will be to the satisfaction of all,
no fees being assessed.
The team representing Auburn will
be without the three veterans, Col-lum,
Morrow and Whigham, due to
their graduation and the presence of
Walters will be felt due to his in­jured
leg. As to records made by
runners in the tryous held during
the past week; the runners line up m
the .following order: Captain Dun­can,
Helms, Aldrich, Teague, Mills,
Hicks, McLendon and Morrow. These
trials were run on a regular five mile
course.
Georgia's best bet is Robert Young,
a sophomore who set a record for the
South while in high school. He is
classed as one of the best and should
succeed in bringing up the Bulldog
stock quite a bit. ••

Tulane Frosh Beat
Auburn Yearlings
In Torrid Contest
The Tulane freshmen beat Auburn
Rats 26 to 6 in a hot battle in New
Orleans last week. The heat was
terrific and slowed the game up con­siderably.
,B Tulane displayed a good brand of
conw football, and under the. leadrship of
\Whatley and Bauer, was ever a
stumbling block for the Auburn
yearlings., Tulane's quarterback was
a star, and took advantage of Au­burn's
lack of pep and drive. The
Tigers fought hard in the first quar­ter,
but slowed up in the latter part
of the game.
The four Tulane scores were made
on four plays that might have been
avoided. The first was made on a
fumbled punt, and the second on an
intercepted pass in the last period,
when Whatley caught the pigskin and
ran 90 yards fyr touchdown. - The
Thj-thWpame on a, forward pass,
while the fourth was the result of
a fumble from the line of scrimmage.
Auburn was rather overconfident
when the game started, and slowed up
a time or so, and the result was that
they lost the game. The whole team
showed.however, that they can fight,
and by the end of the season will be
ready and have enough experience to
give somebody a fight for the var­sity
and the coveted "A". They are
just a little inexperienced now.
Bell, Chambless, and Capt. Wingo
played a driving game in the Auburn
backf ield. Bell threw passes and
Chambless caught them. Auburn
gained much ground on passes^Brown
substituting for Armstrong, in the
last quarter made some good gains,
and caught eight passes while he was
in the game. He intercepted a pass
and ran 40 yards for a touchdown, to
make the only score for the Orange
and Blue. .
Harkins and Taylor were two more
outstanding men for the Plainsmen.
Both played a fine game. Dreaden
also turned in a good game until he
was taken out with a sprained arm.

quarter. A pass, Gibson to Dunn, a
reserve, netted the other, score in the
fourth period.
Spears exhibited some beautiful
running, stiff-arming, changing of
pace, and went 77 yards for the
touchdown. A few minutes later he
intercepted a pass, and ran 80 yards
for touchdown. His interference"
was jierfect.
Tulane made two strong efforts to
score, but both were brought to
naught. They carried the ball to
the ten yard line, but were stopped.
Billy Banker, Tulane back, was one
of the stars of the Greenies. He was
not able to get much yardage, but he
twisted and squirmed so much that
it took three Commodores to stop him
at times. He played a great game.
Vandy made many such tackles,
but was slowed up due to hot weather.
The Vandy linemen were faster on
the charge than Tulane, with the ex-ception

MISSISSIPPI A. & M.
The L. S. U. Tigers beat Miss A.
& M. in a spectacular game in Jack­son,
Miss, last week. The score was
9 to 7. Guy Neesom and his educated
toe were responsible for winning the
game for the Tigers. The whole
game was full of thrills.
In the second quarter Godfrey
threw a pass for 15 yards and Brown
caught, the pigs;kin, and ran 40 yards
for touchdown. His interference was
perfect. In the fourth quarter Free­man,
L. S. U. guard, intercepted a
pass, and it was at this time that the
Aggies made the field goal which won
the game for them. The kick was
made by Nesom, and Mason was
holding the ball.
This only made the Aggies fight
harder, for they came back and scor-
!ed a touchdown. This was made on
two long passes, both Chadwick to
McCabe. On the second pass Mc-
Cabe caught the ball on the L. S. U.
four yard line, and ran across for the
touchdown. Chadwick then kicked
goal.
Mason was the outstanding player
of the Tigers, and was always in the
plays. He gave the Aggies much to
worry over. He outpunted Chadwick
on every punt.
In the line Nesom, Tinsley, and
Weaver were outstanding, while Capt.
Godfrey and Haynes played a fine
game.

The Aggies were dealt a hard blow
just J i t the end of the haff. They

the ball to L. S. U.'s eight-yard line,
and had three downs to make it" in.
They lost the ball on their own 24-

GEORGIA TECH
The Yellow Jackets won one of the
hardest fought games ever witnessed
on Grant Field, last week when the '
Tornado beat North Carolina 13 to 0.
"Stumpy" Thomason was the star of
the occasion.
- Georgia Tech deserved every one
of those thirteen points, for they were
gotten by the sweat of their brow.
Twice the Tar Heels got the ball
to the one yard line, but the Jackets
pulled themselves to gether, and held
them for downs, when a touchdown
would have meant a tied game.
Another time in the first quarter,
they held Carolina on the six yard
line. It was a experience that Tech
does not want to go through again.
After the hard fought first quar­ter,
Tech came back in the second
quarter and scored the first touch­down.
In this period Randolph made
two beautiful runs of 25 and 15
yards. Capt. Crowley caught a pass
and went over for the touchdown.
Thomason then kicked goal.
It seemed that this would be the
only score that Tech could make. It
was near the end of the game when
"Stumpy" Thomason broke loose on
his twenty-five yard line and ran
seventy-five yards for the second and
last counter. He failed to kick goal
for the extra point. Up until this time
Thomason had hot gained much
ground, for the Tar Heels were watch­ing
him/
North Carolina outpointed the
Jackets in all the game except three

Notes of the Societies
WEBSTERIAN
The Websterian Literary Society
held meetings the last two Tuesday
nights, " with a good enthusiastic
crowd in attendance.
On the 18th. a very interesting de­bate
was given on the subject: "Re­solved
that Prohibition is a failure."
The speakers on the affirmative
side were' Miss Bertha Dennis and
Rat Beavers while Miss Irene Flet­cher
and Rat Walter H. Smith up­held
the negative. The debate was
vesy interesting and we are glad to
know that it was decided that Prohi­bition
is not a failure since the nega­t
i v e side won the debate.
After the program refreshments
were served in the form of sandwiches
and lemonade which were enjoyed by
all, and a new resolution was made to
make our society take a new lease on
life and live as it should.
On October 25th was the night of
initiation of the rats into our society
with other attractions.
Mr. Hawkins gave an interesting
a talk on Capital Punishment, raising
a question in our mind if it should be.
A very beautiful quartet was ren­dered
by the Mr. Vines, Mr. LeCroy,
and Mr. Tidwell which was enjoyed
immensely.
Charles Rush told us What the Au­burn
Spirit used to/ be, What it is
now, and What it should be. He said
that it seemed that it had almost lost
its fervor at the first of the year, but
that he knew that it was coming back
in full force, for the effect of the L.
S. U. game proved that if you hap­pened
to be on the bleachers that day
in Montgomery. He thinks that the
unrest on the campus is going to die
down and that the same hilarious Au­burn
Spirit of 10 years ago will be
manifested in every corner of the
campus, and wherever a friend of Au­burn
is.
A short business meeting was held
after which the rats were made mem­bers
of our society. These freshmen
enjoyed it all as much as we did, ariS
we know that they are going to be
very loyal members.
A. S. C. E.
The A. S. C. E. held its meeting
Monday night, Oct. 24 in Ramsey
Hall, at 7:00 P. M. Th'e program
consisted of several very interesting
discussions. Mr. "Billie" Bond of
the Senior Class gave us a short
sketch of the lives of two great En
gineers. Mr. W. G. McAdoo, a Civil
Engineer by profession had charge
4>i the construction of a tunnel under
the Hudson river. The construction
of this tunnel was a great engineering
feat of the time. This was Mr. Mc-
Adoo's greatest engineering project,
but he has been very prominent in
political life since that time. Mr. Her­bert
Hoover, a well known character
of today is also an Engineer, however
he is a mining Engineer. Mr. Hoov­er's
greatest engineering work was in
China just before the Boxer rebellion.
Mr. J. L. Wilson of the Sophomore
Class, gave us an interesting talk on
"A Civil Engineer called the Father
of Aviation". The Wright Bros, who
were the first to ever successfully fly
by mechanical means, gave this title
to Mr. Chanute. Not only did they
give the title, but they also gave him
all the credit for the invention of the
airplane. - Mr. Chanute was elected
to the A. S. C. E. in 1868, and was
later elected its president.
Mr. Dean Fowlkes a Senior gave us
a good description of the Cullar's
septic tank.
Mr. A. V. Blankenship, a member
of the Sophomore Class told us about
the famous Menai Straits Bridge
which has been in use for over one-hundred
years and is still in good
condition. It is going to be replaced
by a concrete structure to take care
of the present day traffic whcih re­quires
a larger bridge than the one
which is now standing.
A rising vote of thanks was given
the committee who made possible the
smoker last Monday night. Mr. C.
E. Smith of the Auburn Engineer
staff asked for the support of all en­gineering
and archectural students in
making the Auburn Engineer a mem­ber
of tin C. C. M. A.
There being no farther., business

as much as possible, and to analyze
his plans and. see if he would fit in
them. Summarizing he said, know

for it.
A program was arranged for the
next meeting, by Charles Moore. No

WIRT
The Wirt Society was fortunate in­deed
to have Professor Rutland, who
is an old member of the Wirt, to be
the principal speaker at its meeting
Tuesday night in Wirt Hall.
Professor Rutland told us about
the early days of the Wirt, and of,
the ways in which the work was car­ried
on then. He commended the
Wirt in its work at present, and spoke
of the important benefits that can be
derived therefrom.
Following Professor Rutland's talk
a number of impromptu speeches
were made. Those making these
speeches were: P. S. Alford who
chose "Lindbergh" as his subject;
John Comer, who briefly sketched the
National Dairy Show recently held
at Memphis; and Miss Henry, who
brought out some very interesting
facts dealing with the Greek Drama,
arid who told us of the features by
which it is characterized.
Among the business that was taken
up was that relative to the Declama­tion
contest which is well on the
way. It was announced that the-try-outs
would be held at an early date,

EVANS
The Evans Literary Society should
feed indebted to Professor Daugh-erty
for his talk "How we could make
out society worth our time." He told
us in an unresentful manner that we
were not making our Society what it
should be because we did not show
the preparation in delivering our as­signed
parts. We certainly appreci­ate
Professor Daugherty taking so
much interest in our Society.
Mr. I. C. Kuykendall gave one of
the best talks that has ever been given
at the Evans Literary Society. He
was especially commended by Profes­sor
Daugherty. The subject of Mr.
Kuykendall's talk was "A College Is
No Better Than Its Football Team."
Of course he modified thta statement
somewhat, but he gave a wonderful
comparison to our present situation
on our campus.
Miss Williams gave us a very in­teresting
talk on "News Worth
While." Not only was it interesting,
but it was also educational. It was
followed by a talk on "America vs.
Lindberg," by Mr. B. L. Martin. We
then voted not to have a meeting
next time because "Dad" Elliot will
speak at the same hour next Tuesday
night. We hope that all of" our mem­bers
will be out to hear him.
SOCIAL SCIENCE CLUB
The weekly meeting of the club
was held in the department of econo­mics
Monday evening at seven o'clock.
An engaging program was given
which caused favorable commenda­tions
from a number of the club mem­bers.
"The Social Problems of the
Girls and Boys in 1940," by S. S
Tatum proved most interesting. A.
D. Hoskiris gave the club some ab­sorbing
information on the recent
unearthing of a document, written by
Michael Notre Dema in the 16th cen­tury—
prophesy has proven to be cor
rect in almost every detail thus far.
The truth of the remainder of the
presupposition seems logical.
The feature of the program was
a lecture by Professor England, term­ed
"Where are you going?" He sur­mised
the problems that would con­front
all college graduates when they
graduated:- Where am I going, what
are my plans, and why? The soul?
tion he suggested was for the man to
plan his career before he left college,

The Aub«rn Chapter of the_ So­ciety
of American Military Engineers
held its weekly Meting in the Engi­neer
room on Tuesday night, October
25th, at 7 P. M. The meeting was
called to order by the president -ef
the society, W. D. Alston^ •'After the
reading of the minutes of the*ift*vi-ous
meeting the followinffpTogram
was rendered: .._
Mr. E. L. Landstreet talked on the
construction of quarters for the sol­diers
who are stationed along the
Mexican border. In introducing his
speech Mr. Landstreet told of the
conditions .under which the men lived
on the Bord|ir prior ty 1919. In his
speech he brMjjjMb out the plans which
were carried o»# in constructing these
quarters as*o the distribution of ma
terial and men. " These- houses were
built of adobe brick along modern
lines. Provision was also made for the
sanitary disposal of sewerage from
the constructed houses. It was also
brought out in his speech that these
sanitary quarters^ very materially
raised the morale of the men who
were stationed in them.
Mr. A. M. McRae spoke next on the
Andersonville, Georgia, National
Cemetery. This cemetery is located
between Macon and -Americus, Geor­gia
on one of the principal highways.
In his speech Mr. McRae brought out
It was originally used as a Confeder­ate
prison, in ^vhich a great number of
Federal prisoners were kept. Due to
the very insanitary living conditions
inside the prison a great number of
the prisoners died and were buried
inside the prison, hence the establish­ment
of a National cemetery on this
site. Since the Civil war the site has
been beautified and monuments have
been erected by the various northern
states to the memory of their men
who died and were buried therein.
Mr. J. D. Neeley spoke on the im­portance
of sanitation as is shown by
the important part it plays in the
good health of a city or town. He
also told about how typhoid fever was
prevented during the world war by
vaccination and how this disease was
replaced by an equally undesirable
disease, dysentry. He told about how
this disease lowered the morale of the
soldiers and the manners in which it
was contracted through filth. He
then brought out the three important
elements in proper camp sanitation;
the disposal of human waste and
other sewerage; the protection of the
drtnlcrng water; the protection of the
food. Under the first he told of the
proper methods of disposing of the
sewerage. This was done by observ­ing
strict discipline as to the dis­posal
of the various waste matters.
He next told of how the drinking
water is purified either by chlorina-tion
or" by other methods of like na­ture.
Last he told of how the proper
protection of food was brought about
during the last war by using canned
foods. He also told how the men
who handled the food in the camps
could be responsible for its becoming
full of diseases by being negligent
in their personal sanitation.
Mr. W. R. Kirkwood next told
about the modern mine pumping ap­paratus
which he observed during the
past summer. He told of the auto­matic
features which controlled it
and also of the efficiency of its opera­tion.
He also brought out in his talk
the efficiency which exists in modern
mine operation.
Mr. W. C. Hurt, the last speaker
on the program, told of the construc­tion
and operation of a large gas-electric
bus which has been purchased
by the Chicago and Alton Railroad to
supplement its rail _. service on a
ninety mile route out of St. Louis.
The motor generator set is driven by
a 120 H. P., six cylinder gas engine.
The total length of the bus is thirty
five feet-six inches. The steering and
driving appartus is so constructed as
to permit the entire bus to turn, when
a turn is started. This gives a sohrt-er
turning radius. He also told how
the motors were used as brakes to
assist the air brakes in retarding the
speed of the bus.

Has Al Smith a chance for Presi­dency
in 1928? Let Mr. Hallman
give the answer. "There are two big
items in Al's platform that will either
make or lose him as President, name»
ly; Catholocism and opposition to the
18th amendment. Furthermore, if
Mississippi is an indication of the in­fluence
of Catholocism, Al will not
be nominated. Others think that there
will be a split in the Democratic party
thereby causing his failure of nomi­nation.
Again the opposition of the
Ku Klux Klan will be a big determin­er
of his success or failure. of nomi­nation."

DR. HUTCHINSON
GETS HIGH DEGREE
Former Auburn Man is "Honored by
Spring Hill
FORTY YOUNG PEOPLE
SING IN AUDITION
One of Auburns most noted and
wiley known alumni, is Dr. Miller
Reese Hutchinson who graduated
rom Alabama Polytechnic Institute in
'98 with a degree of E. E. Later the
title of Dr. was added to his name
when he received the degree of Ph. r
at Spring Hill college.
Dr. Hutchinson Came to Auburn
from Mobile. At the time of his en­trance
in the the college he was deep­ly
concerned with the transmission of
sound under water. He did nothing
with this idea, directly but was of
great aid in later inventions. After
receiving his degree at Auburn he
was employed by the Federal govern­ment
in the Land and Forest Depart­ment,
and stationed on the Gulf of
Mexico. There he had plenty of time
to work on his ideas.
Deaf people became one of his hob­bies,
so consequently he began work
to aid their affliction. The result
was the "Ackerphone", which is now
known to the world as the "Acousti-can."
The Queen of England on hear­ing
of this marvelous invention, sent
for him to aid her. The Queen being
practically totally deaf. He proved
himself and his invention to be mas­ters
and in this mannfr he won his
world-wide fame.
Thomas A. Edison being interested
in sound also, called him to his labor­atory
immediately on his arrival back
into the States. From then until the
present time Dr. Hutchinson has been
known as, "Edisons right hand man."
During the war Dr. Hutchinson was
constantly at Edisons side, giving his
expert advice and help to any ques­tion
arising in his mind.
As time went by Dr. Hutchinson
advanced. For ten years he was
president of his own corporation.
The corporation was one, investigat­ing
the inventions of others. If the
inventions were found to be of value
it was financed and given aid in
speeding up the time of production.
On one such occasion-he became in­terested
in the greatest molest to
southern cotton grower, the boll
weevil. Since he has rendered great
assistance toward abolishing this in­sect
pest.
Today Dr. Hutchinson is engaged
as chief of the research and scientific
department of the Acoustics Products
Co. This company was formed by
merging three large companies en
gaged in the manufacture and sale
of musical, recording, reproducing,
electrical and amplifying apparatus

Kappa Alpha fraternity.

A. J. ELLIOT TO CONDUCT
SERIES MEETINGS HERE
(Continued from page one)
The first student conference at
Lake Geneva was held in 1895, at
which time "Dad" Elliot was a dele­gate
from the Grand Prairie Semi­nary
at Onarga, 111. After gradua­tion,
from that institution, he enter­ed
the Northwestern College of Lib­eral
Arts where he played on the var­sity
football squad, and in his third
year (1901) he was named All West­ern
End. "Dad" won an enviable re­cord
as a clean sportman. For two
years he was president of the local
college Y. M. C. A., and was active in
other Christian work on the campus.
His popularity among the students
was attested by the fact that at the
close of his Junior year he was sig­nally
honored by election to Deru, a
senior Wi»i«rary fraternity.
After graduation from Northwest­ern
in^02, "Dad" Elliot won for him­self
a larger field of service by the
success of his program as Religious
Work Secretary of the Brooklyn Chris­tian
Association, and in 1907 he was
given a station in the Middle West
where he has been located since that
time.
The students of America commis­sioned
"Dad" Elliot in 1924 to' carry
a message of good-will and friendship
to the students of the Orient. Visiting
Japan, China, and the Phillippines,
he addressed thousands of students
who eagerly came to hear his pro­phetic
messages. v
The students of Auburn are look­ing
eagerly to the time that they can
listen to and be inspired by this stu­dent
leader, and feel highly honored
that they can have "Dad" Elliot with
them.

told the faculty of some methods to
make classroom teaching procedure
more effective. The improvement of
tests and written examinations was
the subject of his second lecture in
which he pointed out that tests served
better to show how much the instruc­tor
had failed to teach the student
than it did to indicate the student's
knowledge of the subject.. In the
third lecture a good teaching person­ality
was discussed, and on the last
day the improvement of teachers in
service was Dr. McClusky's topic.
"The secret of good teaching is to
keep alive*; and to keep alive one must
constantly grow," says Dr. McClusky.
No'college professor can allow him­self
to "get in the rut" and hope to
interest his students in his -subject.
Constant study and experimentation
with new methods of teaching is es­sential
to the instructor's growth.
The colleges today are endeavoring
to teach too great a variety of sub­ject
matter, is the feeling of Dr.
McClusky. It would be much better

to discard fifty per cent of the sub­jects
we «re now trying to teach the
average student. Then, by a change
of instructional method the remain­ing
half of the college course could
really be learned by the student. In
this connection Dr. McClusky empha­sized
the fact that the success of a
college instructor is measured by the
amount of work and study that he
is able to provoke from his students.
It does not matter what the instruc­tor
dqes so long as he succeeds in
getting his students to work.
The function of our schools, says
Dr. McClusky, should be merely to
equip the student with certain fun­damental
skills such as correct speech,
habits of study and ability to think
in order that he may then educate
himself by his own'endeavor.
