nade, the seven members in vesture and
with lighted candles, came on the stage.
The president, Jennie Harrison, in her
talk stated that the society is a member
of the National Honor Society, Torch
light Society being the local name.

Leadership, Service, and Character,

UNIVERSITY OFFERS
SPECIAL TRAINING
Will Attempt by Rigid Methods
of Elimination to Start New
Quality of Teachers. '
DR. ALEXANDER DIRECTOR
The Teachers’ College of Columbia
university has announced a new course
in teacher's training to open Septem
ber. 1932.
This new course will attempt by
rigid methods of elimination to start
a new quality of teachers. Selection
will be based upon good heaUh, sound
scholarship, desirable personal quali
ties, and promise of unusual growth.
The course will be under the direc
tion of Dr. Thomas Alexander, profes
sor of education at Teachers' collie.
The student body in the first year
will be limited to 100 young men and
100 young women of outstanding ability
and personality.
While preparing these young people
for teaching positions, the new unit,
which will grant the Bachelor of
Science and the Master's degrees,
operate also as a demonstration col
lege in which graduate students
Teachers college ui^iy observe improved
methods in teachers' training.
The length of study in the college
will vary from three to five years ac
cording to the ability of the student,
and will include at least one year spent
in study and travel abroad.
Students will be required to spend
some time in actual work in industry
and business so that when they become
teachers they will have an adequate
conception of the work of the world
into which most pupils who graduate
from American schools must enter.
Actual practice in teaching will be
provided by co-operating private and
public school system.
Cost of attendance at the college will
not exceed .fl,000 a year.
The curricula will also provide
courses in social economy, sociology,
economics, politics, and problems of
civic and industrial life.
MRS. COLTRANE WRITES
FOR‘SCHOOL AND PRESS’
“How to Read a Newspaper” Is Title of
Article Published at W. and L. Unlv.
School of Journalism.
DAILIES SHOW TREND OF AFFAIRS
“How to Read a Newspaper” is tbe-
title of an article written by Mrs. Alma
G. Coltrane, faculty adviser for High
Life. This article appeared in School
and Press, a magazine published by the
r..ee School of Journalism at Washing
ton and Lee university, Lexington, Va.
Mrs. Coltrane says that unless a person
is an intelligent reader of the columns
of news day by day and unless one
keeps informed concerning his city,
county, state, and nation, he should not
exercise the right of citizenship by
voting.
To really read a newspaper intelli
gently, continues Mrs. Coltrane, one
must know and appreuiAto- the energy
and effort it requires to publish a news
paper.
Since the citizens depend largely on
the papere for their information con
cerning political problems, students
should be taught how to be intelligent
“consumers of the news,” says Mrs
Coltbane. She also declares that the
Intelligent reading of the daily new:
papers makes one alert In grasping the
trend of every day affairs, accurate
in expressing those Ideas and careful
111 evaluating them.
Mrs. Coltrane states that civics and
economics can best be taught through
the columns of the newspapers. She
says that the intelligent reading of the
newspapers teaches the sensitiveness of
industry, for industry Is very much like
the human Iwdy—when something af
fects one part, the other parts are
nsnally affected also,

GREENSBORO HIGH
WILL HAVE SOUND
FILMS THIS YEAR
Obstacles Are Encountered in
Obtaining Satisfactory
Educational Pictures.
RICHARDSON IS OPERATOR
Chief Use of Slides Will Be For Screen
Songs to Improve Group
Singing.
There has been some speculation at
G. H. S. this semester about the opera
tion of a moving picture projector. Ac
cording to C. W. Phillips, pictures are
to be procured which will be of interest
to all high school students. Those pic
tures are rather hard to get as the
schools wish to obtain pictures with no
rental fee. The express charges (both
ways) have to be paid.
At the present time a slide attach
ment is being put on the projector by
L. B. Richardson. With this attach
ment slides which are easily made and
are very cheap will be shown. H. Grady
Miller says that the students do not
sing very well while looking at books,
therefore the chief use of the slides
will b for the showing of screen songs.
Mr. Phillips says that this will greatly
improve the group singing at G. H. S.
Last year Holland Sound and Vision
Company of this city installed a double
turnable photophone system, which
makes possible continuous music dur
ing programs. At the present time
there is a move to install sound pictures
for the benefit of the high school stu
dents. The first program, which will
either be screen songs or a picture, or
a combination of the two, is planned
for October 28.
This year Clyde Wooten and Ran
dolph Covington are in charge of the
moving picture performances.
When asked about feature pictures,
Mr. Phillips said:
“Because of the time of showing and
expense involved, no long feature pic
tures will be shown.”

GEO. GRIMSLEY SPEAKS
Parents of students at Senior high

last Tuesday uight and became boys
and girls once more at the first regular
meeting of the Senior High Parent
Teacher association at the school.
C. W. Phillips and the executive
board met the grown-up children at
7:30 o’clock, as they hud admonished
them to be on time since any tardiness
would be punished and the naughty
children kept in after school.
After chapel exercises the parents
stepped into the shoes of their sons and
daugliters for the evening and carried
through a school program in miniature,
each receiving his child’s schedule and
going from room to room for classes.
The periods were 10 minutes each in
stead of the usual hour. In each room
the teacher met the parents.
The regular business and program
of the P. T. A. was carried out at the
chapel exercises.
Mr. George Grimsley, of Winston-
Salem, a former Greensboro superin
tendent of schools, spoke on “The Old
School.” Mr. Guy B. Phillips, today’
superintendent, spoke on “The Present
School and the Educational Situation

people were killed doing acrobatic
clluiblng on Mont Blanc during their
stay there.
Tliey next went to Genoa wliere they
were very disappointed. Carl said the
Italians liad no reverence for Ameri

cat added-to the general Italian odors.
Thfey next went to Naples which
Carl described as a “great place.’' They
couldnf climb Vesuvius liecause it
seemed to ve smoking. The next stop
was Pompeii where they saw the fried
victims of Vesuvius perfectly preserved.

Holland was the only place they-
didn’t like. The people were not up

WILL ATTAIN POINTS FOR WORK
At a meeting of the debating club,
lield Friday, the 9th of October, tbe
question was again brought up about
some recognition of the participants in
debates, such as monograms or pins. A
committee had been previously ap
pointed to look into it, but as yet no
action had been taken. In this con
nection, Mr. Farthing said that he
hoped for the club to join the National
Forensic society. If this is done, de
baters will receive points for their
work, an award being given for a cer
tain nnmher of points.
Then followed a discussion on what
should be done concerning debates with
other schools. Challenges have already
been sent to High Point and Winston-
Salem, but no definite replies have been
received. It was decided that a chal
lenge should be sent to Salisbury, and
letters written to Raleigh and Durham.
The program was a bill of discussion
on tbe subject; Resolved, That Prohi
bition Should Be Repealed. Hilliard
Clein gave the majority report; Ed
ward Cone, the minority. A heated dis
cussion followed, in which Quentin
Dixon, Henry Nau, and Falmadge
Smith took part. A vote was then
taken, which resulted in a tie.
The club held a social, Saturday,
October 3rd. It took the form of a
picnic lunch at Cone Ijike. All mem
bers of the Debating club were invited
to attend.
G. H. S. Gets Half Holiday
In reward for having over 97 per cent
attendance for the past school month,
C. W. Phillips dismissed the high school
at 1 o’clock Friday, October 2. Mr. Phil
lips had announced earlier in the year
that the school would receive a half
holiday on the same conditions that
prevailed last year. Very few half
holidays were given last year, however,
because the attendance was so low.
