and keeping it up to the end. Remark

Jzllng mass of trick plays, Georgia
' Tech . today won the annual battle
here from its traditional rivals from
I South-Carolina by a score of 34 to 0.
From - the opening scrimmage . the
ultimate result 'was plainly indicated.
The Clemson forwards, although pos
sessed of a slight advantage In weight.
apparently were unable to solve the
Yellow . Jocket plays quickly enough
to break them up. Five touchdowns
were made by Tech, goals being
kicked from four of them.
The weather was unsually warm
and this, to a great extent influenced
the game. Tech employed many sub
stitutes, while Clemson to a great ex
tent was forced to employ its tired
players throughout the game.
Tech began its scoring earlyi after
Clemson fumbled in the first -scrimmage
and a ..Yellow Jacket player fell
on the ball. A trick formation netted
Tech 20 yards and Cook was sent
around left end for a touchdown. A
few minutes later Tech's : second
touchdown resulted from a double
pass to Montague. A gain in the sec
ond quarter Tech advanced to within
striking distance of the goaf by a 30
yard forward pass. Fielder then being
sent around left end for a touchdown.
Jn the second half the brilliant brok
en field work of Fielder was responsi
ble, for two more touchdowns. In the
third quarter the fleet. -Yellow Jacket

manufacturers who had failed in an
effort to foist on his department "just

of the Teachers' Assembly and a vast
audience of , citizens generally heard
with great pleasure and approval the
annual address of President A, 1C.
Reynolds, of the assembly, tonight on
"A Professional Body of Teachers and
How to Secure ' and Retain Such a
Body."
He Insisted that there must be such
high and uniform requirements for en
tering upon this work and protection
of those engaged in it as will induce
men aad women of proper, capacity
and training to take up the work as a
life profession instead of as a stepping
stone to something else. The home,
school and special training best cal
culated to develop teachers really
worth while, were traced forcefully,
the speaker declaring that none should
teach except those who really inspire
in the children a desire for knowledge
and who have an attractive personality
that will command respect, along with
nobility of. character. ?
He said the present system of ex
amining and licensing ' high ' school
teachers has provided a f neucleus on

the State : Department of Education
has already r prepared, -1 to - be pressed
upon - the next . Legislature - for enact
ment, a bill for bringing teaching up
to a professional ' standing and that
will, give opportunity for those now in
the service who are deficient to bring
themselves up to the required stand-.
ard,those failing to qualify iniproper
time to be eliminated from teaching
service. Along with raising tne stand
ards of 'equipment there must, he ar
med, be advancement in compensa
tion to attract and hold the best men
and women for their life work.

the holder of a ETeat office. . We see
in him the aspirations and ideals of

It is not only his expressed declara

so much because of the large amount '
