Season’s Forecast
Coach Page Saunders hopes that
his squad will improve this year’s
basketball record over last year’s,
and if a couple of last year’s
standouts are able to play the
second semester, he thinks that the
Broncos will finish pretty strong
even though “we are going through
rebuilding stage” says Coach
Saunders. He is looking for a lot of
help from his freshman crop which
includes a trio of good ballhandlers
and playmakers. a •
Aggies Down Broncos

game, but once the Aggie sharp
shooters found the range, they be
gan to pull away to victory.

ious Aggies were Co-captains Hugh
Evans and Henry Marshall with 21
and 14 points respectively, and
Powell with 21 points.

How You Can Be
Truly Popular

a new and interesting friend. A
smile and a pleasant disposition
are important assets to everyone.
BE TRULY OPEN-MINDED AND
FAIR. “There is no prejudice
more unjust than blind prejudice.”
When you disagree with someone,
be kind enough to listen to his
side of the story. There may be
some merit in what he believes.
Furthermore, he will think more
of you and will be more willing
to listen to your views.
The world loves a trustworthy
and fair person. Be fair to every
one. It has been said that no
little good that you do, goes un
noticed. If being fair and doing
good to the best of your ability is
the way to be popular, then you
will surely not be unnoticed.
FREDERICK BIBBY MAKES “2”
Bulls Romp
Over Broncos
The Johnson C. Smith Bulls,
playing one of their finest games
of the season rolled past the Bron
cos by a 40-6 score. The speedy
backs of the Bulls and the precis
ion blocking supplied by the fast
charging line, plus the expert play
calling of the quarterbacks were
just too much for the Broncos to
cope with, as the well-disciplined
Bulls team scored in every quar
ter. The most exciting play occur
red in the third quarter when the
right linebacker of the Bulls,
James Walker, intercepted a Bron
co pass five yards deep in the end
zone and rambled 105 yards for a
score.
The Broncos’ only tally came in
the third period when quarterback
George Wilson, executed a perfect
bootleg play around his left end
for 44 yards.

there, though no microscope wUl
detect it, or identify the EngUsh
reading from the French reading
cells, in one who can read both
languages, but yet there it must
be, or an injury could not destroy
it.
Professor Hinshelwood, of the
University of Glasgow, published
the case of a highly educated man
who was brought to him for an at
tack of ordinary word-bUndness.
The patient had learned Greek,
Latin and French in addition to
his native English. Upon examina
tion the patient displayed the abiU-
ty to read Greek perfectly. He
could read Latin better than Eng
lish but not so perfectly as Greek,
whUe in French he made more
mistakes than in Latin, but still
read it a great deal better than
he could his native Englsih. The
explanation was that the injury to
his brain matter nearly ruined the
English shelf, then damaged to a
less extent the French, and stiU
less the Latin shelf, whUe the
Greek shelf escaped entirely.
When the man separately studied
those three languages, in addition
to his chUdhood’s speech, his con
sciousness and his wiU certainly
co-operated in prolonging exercise,
until whoUy distinct portions of his
gray matter were fashioned, one
for Greek, another for Latin, and
another for French words, each so
divided from each other and from
the earUer English stratum, that
they were respectively differently
affected by the damage which in
volved this world area.
This leads to the principle that
a stimulus to nervous matter ef
fects a change in that matter by
calling forth a reaction to it until
by constant repetition a perman
ent alteration in the nervous mat
ter stimulated occurs, which pro
duces a fixed habitual way of
working in it. It, therefore, follows
that the brain must be modified
by every process of true special
education.
ChUdren under ten years of age
acquire languages by the ear very
easily because the gray matter of
their word centers is very plastic
and can soon be fashioned for that
purpose. But what is gained easUy
is lost easily, for if a child at that
age be removed to another coun
try, where he no longer hears the
language which he has learned, he
generaUy forgets it totally in less
than two years.
One of the properties of the per
sonal human will is that of being
a specific brain stimulus, more po
tent than all the afferent stimuli
together in producing changes in
brain matter, by which the brain
acquires, and by it alone, entirely
new powers of functions not possi
ble in any other animal brain.
We need to attach more impor
tance to inhibition. Without inhibi
tion no organization of a nervous
system would be possible. A mere
animal cannot be held responsible
for anything for it is so fully the
creature of the mechanical affer
ent that it has no true power of
choice. But man CAN always do
or not do as he chooses, or, in
other words, wills.
The will has the power to alter
the brain in such a way that in
time the brain thinks only accord
ing to certain habitual ways. This
is the substance with which we
must deal in learning and in teach
ing.
