Literary.
The program of the Boys Literary
society for Friday night consisted of
a mock trial. William Kaylor was
endeayoring to obtain his release from
an insane asylum after he had been
declared insane by a committee that
had been appointed to investigate his
mestal condition. The state was rep
resented by Luther Byrd and Norman
English, while Henry Dorman and
Theodore Levie argued for Kaylor. Al
ter twenty-five minutes of deliberation,
the jury declared him to be insane
Prof. ]. w. Cole served as judge, and
was a good one The trial consumed
three hours, and some say that it was
one of the best ever presented at this
school. Messrs. Clinton Gay and Fritz
Dockweiler amused us with jokes
while the jury was out. MIR. Collum
made an interesting talk. We were
glad to have visitors with us. aid trust
that we may be so honored again.
Athletics.
A great deal of interest in athletics
is being shown by practically the en-
tire student body. We are to take part
in the High School contests to be held
here, and expect to do some good
work. If practice makes perfect, we
should have some perfect athletes, be-
cause they practice enough. We will
be represented in practically all of the
athletic features in the contest, and
intend to do our part we'll
The present outlook is that we will
put out the best baseball team this sea
son that has ever defended the glory
of odd Aggie," on the diamond. The
team has been organized, and Ted LIE
vie was made captain, while Henry
Dorman is the manager. We have
plenty of material, and it is hard to
decide who will be the regulars. We
viii have plenty strong substitutes, so
there is no danger of the team losinc
cut because of the insufticiency Oh
men.
Practically a full schedule OF games
has already been decided on, and We
look forward to a very bright and sue
cessfui season.
The Teachers and the Summer School.
The great majority of Georgia teach
ers are now beginning to consider the
aGvisability of attending Summer
School during the summer OF 1917.
Some very interesting observations
have been made by the county super
of schools and by the city
in which they nave
come to the conclusion that the quail
itv of work and enthusiasm of teach
ers wbo have attended summer schools
has SHOWN noticeable Improvement.
This is to be expected and but ac-
centuates the ideals which the summer
schools are trying to maintain; name
!, TO give to the teachers high stan
dard of work and at the same time OF
fer recreation and fellowship. 1t IS
hoped that an even larger number u
Georgia teachers than ever before Will
attend summer schools this coming
