  • Jackson Co. Teachers Meet at Cullowhee A two day conference of the elementary and high school teachers in the group centre schools of Jackson County met at Cullowhee Friday and Saturday, November 6th and 7th. The "purpose of this meeting was to observe the instruction being carried on in the Cullowhee Training School and High School ,and to discuss problems of classroom teaching and supervision. Approximately fifty teachers attended the conference from the five group centre schools, viz.: Sylva, Qualla, Webster, Glenville, and Cullowhee. The program was carefully worked out by Miss Tullie Borden, County Supervisor of Elementary Schools and Mr. P. W. Alexander, Director of the Cullowhee Training School. A separate series of observations and follow-up conferences were planned for each group of teachers so that every period of the day was adequately provided for. The visiting teachers were guests of the Normal School at the regular chapel exercise on Saturday, at which time they were extended a hearty welcome in brief talks by Dean Bird and President Hunter. During both days of the conference the mothers of the Community Life Club served delightful plate lunches to the teachers in the Home Economics department in the basement of the Training School building. At luncheon Saturday, President Hunter addressed the visitors with a timely message of the day. He made a strong appeal to every teacher to assist in raising the standards of the teaching profession in Jackson County. He showed that this could be done in two distinct ways: first, by raising their own standards of qualification and service, and second, by convincing the parents and taxpayers of the need of better schools and better trained teachers. County Supt. J. N. Wilson, when called upon, stated that he had only three white teachers in the county at present teaching on non-standard certificates. Much credit should be given to Supt. Wilson and Miss Borden, Supervisor, for the progressive program that is now being carried out in Jackson County schools. _THE_CULLQWHEE Y 0 D E L Are We Going to Let Football Become Passe? The question has arisen as to whether intercollegiate football should abolished, and a large number of college presidents have declared an emphatic "Yes!" "But why should a sport so nationwide and popular be done away with?" you ask. Indeed may one ask that question after viewing an exciting college game and noting the grim determination and loyalty of the players, and the wonderful spirit shown by the cheering squads. But we must look behind the scenes at the bribery, professionalism, fake scholarships, and scouting that are corrupting the true college standards All colleges have the problem of emphasizing athletics proportionately with the rest of the college activities. Articles in up-to-date magazines would indicate that the question of athletics is a critical one today, so that all colleges should have their student bodies take the right stand toward football if they care enough to preserve it. It is a recognized fact that a well developed person needs physical as well as mental development, and, of course, in a college we have some people who bury themselves in books and others who spend all their time on the football field. Naturally, the student who gets the most out of school life is the one who enters into an all round development of both forms of training. One small college was obliged last year to delete its entire football schedule, because soon after the opening of school a scout from a large college came and marched off with the four best athletes. Antioch College, in Ohio, has given the complete banning of intercollegiate football a two year trial and reports that the elimination of football has made possible a normal distribution of interest in athletics among the students. Football is, without doubt, the most popular of inter-collegiats games. Does the sport-loving American football fan want the game condemned by college officials? The game considered unworthy of Americans ? Most assuredly "No!" We can only wonder what the outcome will be and whether America's "young blood" shall ever revive the "true sport," or let it be lost in the mire of commercialism. ;„:••;..;..;..;..;..;..;..;..;..;..;. Erosophian Literary Society There was only one short week i; which the small, yet faithful, group of former members of the Erosophian Literary Society could meet alone. A host of new students were anxiously waiting to be admitted. You might ask just what would lead them to this society. Is it the attitude of the old members, the former record of the society, the congeniality of the group, the programs rendered, or what? Now this is left for the members to tell. Indeed, the society has proved a success in former years. Old members proclaim of what the E. L. S. had done for them. You could not visit our society and fail to feel at home, for we always welcome you either to visit or remain with us. Our programs are not only entertaining, but beneficial. "The Cullowhee State Normal Faculty" as presented by the members of the society seemed to draw special notice. The part played by Miss Mabel Calhoun and Mr. John Arrington impersonating Miss Hearn- don and Prof. Beech, was especially pleasing. The society as a group always keeps in mind the motto "Petimus Alta" (we seek higher things). It is already showing marked progress and will continue to advance with that aim in mind. The following are the officers for the fall quarter: President, Alden Penland; Vice President, Clifford Bailey; Recording Secretary, Lacy Young; Corresponding Secretary, Annie Sawyer; Treasurer, Pauline Hor- ton; Critic, Mr. Allen; Assistant Critic, Mr. Beech; Censor, Ernest Phillips; Chaplain, Evelyn Morgan; Journalist, Beulah Padgett.
