She says that she has found in the library much valuable material in. her work. She paid special tribute to Dr. David H. Brings of Mary ville, Tenn., who was one of the visiting faculty in the psycho logy department, for his as sistance in the field of adolescent psychology and guidance, and to Dr. Wiley F.

SUBSTANTIAL A survey made by the Federal Trade Commission indicates that most American industries are making a higher return after taxes on stockholders invest ments than it did before the war J The survey, based on a compari son of the rate of return of more than 500 identical manufacturing corporations in 1940 and 1047, shows that in all but three in dustries of the 25 represented, rates of return for 1947 were higher than for 1940. For twenty industries, the rate of return was "moderate to very substantial." Since 1940 the number of milk cows in the country has in creased 1 per cent. At the same time, the population has increas ed about 10 per cent. ?

Dr. Smith said. He told the graduates that they are going out into the world as agents of democracy. "If you go into your school this year with a clear idea of what your behavior should be; if you devote your time to your boys and girls and try to get democratic be havior practiced not only in the school' but out in the community, you will do your part. But, if you go into that school as a mere keeper of school, a mere hearer of lessons, as a mere classroom teacher and not a com munity teacher, you will fail as democratic agents", he said. "What about the college ? What is Appalachian going to do about democracy?". Dr. Smith asked. "If this college can build an educational program that is genuinely designed to create and build and save the democratic way of life, it could send teach ers into the field who would save democracy in every comr munity in this country." Dr. Smith said that educators are the people who should study democracy, analyze it and define the behavior patterns in our minds and they are the ones who should portray it so clearly that the people will know what it is to accept it >?nd cherish it and live it. Educators are the ones to help build a way of life, he said, in which tha modes of behavior are so clearly depicted and so thoroughly taught and so genuie ly accepted and lived in the school room and community that our people and the people of all the world could not fail to know that our democratic way of liv ing is the best way of life. "If democracy fails". Dr. Smith stated, "you can blame the schools and the educators." "I would like to leave a chal lenge with you graduates". Dr. Smith said in closing. "Why don't you young people who are finishing right here in this class Start this move among the teach ers in the community where you are going next fall? Why don't you start a move to put into our classrooms a program of educa tion that is in itself the demo cratic way of life? Why doesn't this college sound a call to the educators of the South? Here, sitting on top of the world, look ing down on the plbins and the valleys, why don't ' you call a great convention of Southern educators and start the move ment to unify in a program of democratic education that will save America? I leave this chal lenge with you, as you go out as teachers and as democrats. I leave this with the college, not only as a challenge, but as a dare!" Forty of the 76 students finish ed their work in the high school field, sixteen in grammar grade education, and nineteen in pri mary education. Every member of the class has accepted a teach ing position for the coming year. 'I'M THE LITTLE GIRL WHO HAD NO APPETITE" Mr*.
