ADMINISTRATIVE NEWS PUBLISHED AS A SUPPLEMENT TO HIGH LIFE BY THE CITY SCHOOL ADMINISTEATION SUPT. FRED ARCHER VICE-PRESIDENT N. C. EDUCATION ASSOCIATION At the recent meeting of the Ed ucation Association of North Caro lina, which was held at Raleigh, the following officers were elected: pres. Miss Elizabeth Kelly; vice- president, Supt. Fred. Archer; sec retary, Mr. Jule B. Warren. This association represents about twelve thousand of the approximately twen ty-thousand North Carolina teach ers. Through it, matters of pro fessional and practical inter^t to the teachers of the State are devel oped. Following a precedent which has been in operation throughout the life of the organization the vice- president is elected to the office of president at the next Association meeting. This should mean, of course, that superintendent Archer has been chosen president for the year 1924. It is exceedingly appropriate that such a choice has been made be cause of the work of the man so honored. Beginning his school work at Windsor, he so faithfully and successfully performed his duties that he moved on to a better po sition at Winston-Salem High School. From there he took up work in the Wilson High School under Supt Chas. L. Coon. For a number of years he was one of the most active High School prin cipals of the state. While there be was vitally interested in his school and in the welfare of his chosen profession. Moving to Selma he became superintendent and made for that small town one of the most outstanding school systems in the state. The development in equip ment and teaching force during his period of service there was ported by that community that only remarkable. He was so well sup- the urgent call to Greensboro, a much larger field for his rapidly developing educational powers was sufficient to move him. His coming to Greensboro four and one-half years ago began a pe riod of school development une qualed in the history of this city. | Among the most important contri butions to the Greensboro position must be considered his continued, successful effort in raising the stand ards, and consequently the salaries of the teaching force, and his steady, upward building program which is just now culminating in one of the most effective construction pro jects of the state. With the support of his School Board, with which he has been able at all times to work harmoniously, and under the wise counsel of the most efficient experts in America, Strayer and E :glhart of Columbia University,, Mr. Archer has now under construc tion three modern schools for the white children and one for the negroes of the city. In addition to this, definite plans are under way for a modern and thoroughly equip ped High School. These two big programs have been instrumental in developing a strong school system for the city. Throughout his work in Greensbo ro the superintendent has grown in the love and admiration of the people he has served. These same qualities of leadership and interest ill the welfare of the teachers of the slate make him a logical choice as one of its leaders. To Ye Immortals—Ye Teachers of Y outh—Greetings. If an Agassiz finds pleasure in digging among fossils in order that he may interpret the great story of prehistoric life; If a Thoreau by Walden Pond is delighted with his studies of bugs and beetles; if a John Burroughs on his little patch of ground in the valley of the Mohawk, glories in his life among the birds and bees; if a Luther Burbank is enraptured with his work of transforming a worthless desert cactus into an edible fruit, or in producing a sweeter rose or a fairer lily; if these and other workers, whose names are legion, revel in the love of their work—then by what term shall we designate the joy that should be the teacher’s who works not with mere fossils, nor with birds, bees, or flowers, but with the child who is at once the most complex, the most plastic, the most beautiful, the most wonderful of God’s creation. Yes, it’s a wonderful thing to be a teacher; it’s a great thing to teach school. —Frank W. Simonds. ^ RULES GOVERNING THE AWARD OF LETTERS FOR HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS REGULATIONS FOR CLASS ATHLETICS.

Out Where the Big Ships Are Fm tired of sailing my little boat Far inside of the harbor bar; I want to be out where the big ships float— Out on the deep, where the great ones are! And should my frail craft prove too slight For storms that sweep those wide seas o’er Better go down in the stirring fight Than drouse to death by the sheltered shore! NATIONAL RECOGNITION GIVEN THE UNIVERSITY (Since the University is the high est point of the public school sys tem, the high schools—another part of the system, —rejoice in this honor as though it were peculiarly ours. It is a distinction which is a recognition of merit.) Two years ago the State took a long step toward developing its University into’an institution which would stand on a par with the best state universities in the country. A most extraordinary testimony has just been given to the fact that there was no overestimation of the ability of the University to meas ure up to the trust reposed in it. This is the admission of the Uni versity to the “blue-ribbon” class of American institutions—the As sociation of American Universities. Only twenty-five of the five hundred and eighty-six institutions of higher learning listed in the United States are included in this group of insti tutions of high standards and out standing quality. The list includes Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Chicago, Princeton, Johns Hopkins, and such great state universities as Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, and Illinois; insti tutions for the most part much larg er and wealthier than the universi ty of North Carolina. Only one other institution in the entire South is a member, the University of Vir ginia. Virginia, too, was a charter member, so that the University of North Carolina is the only Southern institution ever admitted in the twen ty years during which the organiza tion has been in existence. The work of the University thus receives a definite national recogni tion of which he alumni may well be proud. The University in short, is on the national map; it is giving to North Carolina boys opportuni ties of character that, in the judg ment of the best educational insti tutions in America, are distinctive and outstanding. Surely better proof cannot be asked that the faculty of the University is of unu sual strength, and that it is on the job. I stood in the lonesonme hallway So timid and unawares. Because I was really bashful Before so many stairs. Miss Roach: “Where do the jelly fish get their jelly?’ Jack Everett: “From the currants in the sea, I suppose.” Teacher—Johnnie, what is the femine form of hero, (he-ro) Johnnie—Shero. (she-ro) Teachers and Clubmen Entertained. All teachers of the city school system who have been in Greensboro for more than one year and repre sentatives from, the Rotary, Kawanis Lions and Civitan clubs, were enter tained on Friday evening at a din ner given by Frederick Archer, su perintendent of city schools, at the high school cafeteria. After the dinner an interesting and varied program was carried out. A talk on topics relating to educa tional work by T. Wingate Andrews, superintendent of city schools at Salisbury, was a feature of the en tertainment program. Guy Phillips, principal of Greens boro high school, speaking in be half of the guests at the banquet, made a timely speech in which he thanked Mr. Archer for a delight ful evening and assured him of the loyalty and hearty support of the teachers in the city schools.

This council is composed of Bruce Green, Norman Block, Carlotta Johnson, and Dorothy Albright, representing the students, Miss Mary Morrow and Mr. Chas. W. Phillips, represent ing the faculty. —Dorothy Albright, Sec. School Room Manners I think children should have their best manners in school. First, they should be respectful to their teacher and pay attention to what she is saying. Then they should be kind and thoughtful of their schoolmates. I think if they would keep .the Golden Rule they would always have nice manners. Jane Crabtree—4A
