Committee Highly Pleased With
Results Of Home And Garden Tour

At 1.-The Pines Mrs. Schiller
was tired but happy at the end
of the day, while Mr.. Schiller
said he had been busy directing
the parking at his place, first
under an umbrella, then with a
walking cane. and finally, with
what looked like a small toma-
hawk.
The winding stairway at Mid
dlecourt brought forth many
"ohs' and "ahs." One visitor ex-
claimed there should always be
a wedding in any family living
there, SO the bride might come
down the beautiful stairway.
The garden of Miss Florence
StubbS was at its peak and very
colorful. Many rare and unusual
antiques We're seen at the Hardy
home, and Norwood, the home
OF the Waverly Putney, Jrs., es-
pecially delighted those inter-
ested in horses.
The old debtors prison and
Longwood Home Management
House were each much enjoyed
in their own way. HosteSses SER
we'd refreshments at the latter,
a fitting end to a memorable
tour.
The committee greatly appre-
ciates the cooperation of Long
wood and Hampden-Sydney Col
leges, the home owners and Of
the various garden clubs which
arranged flowers in the tour
homes.
The Herald area was well
represented among the tour Wis

Expert In Teacher Training
Interim Preside mt Visits CAMPUS
By JOHN STICK

When Fred o. Wygal becomes
interim president of Longwood
College On July l, it simply will
mean a shift Of location, not of
emphasis, for the States direc-
tor of teacher education and
certification.
While President F. G. Lark
ford, Jr., is on a years educa-
tional development mission in
East Pakistan, his replacement
will be an educator who has de-
voted most of his professional
career to one single end
the preparation Of competent,
effective teachers.
Wygal has been with the State
Department Of Education for 20
years, and before that he served
as a public school teacher, prin-
cipal and city superintendent.
LSc OUuIlt NdtiVC
A product Of a Lee county,
Va, farm, the interim president
took his Alb degree from Emory
and Henry College into teaching
in Washington county. Success
sive steps were as a high school
principal at Galax. then as city
superintendent of schools at
Radford.
He went with the State Depart
ment in 1912, and since that
time a succession of Depart
ment posts has been almost a
natural in preparation for his
new duties.
He has served Virginia's pub
lie educational agency as assis-
tant supervisor of Secondary
Education, as chief for adult
director of instruction. He also
took a. leading part when the
State first devised its school
guidance service and program.
He was named director of the
Division Of Teacher Education
and Qualification four years ago.
Works With Colleges
AS chief Of the teacher prepa-
ration division, Wygal has work
ed constantly with all of Vir-
ginia's public and private insti-
tutions in connection with that
phase of their programs devoted
to the preparation of teachers.
All of that effort on a broad,
state scale has been similar to
that attempted by a single insti-
tuition: the development Of the
best programs for a teachers
preparation in such fields as
educational psychology, in sub
ject matter and adequate stu
dent teaching programs.

'Milepost' Board Session
On Com unism Held Here
High School
ss"ist' o To s sss

The decision to teach Virginia
high school seniors facts about
Communism was made by the
State Board OF Education during
its session at LongWood College
Friday.
Mrs. Louise Galleher, of Man
assas, who presided in the alb
sence of board president Leon
ard Muse, called the Friday de-
cision "a milepost."
The instruction is designed to
be fitted into the senior class
government course, Unit Va.
Heretofore, this has been ex-
clusively a course on Virginia
and United States Government.
The added instruction is de-
ylSed as a five to six weeks in
terlude in the government
course, to be presented at about
the midway point of the second
semester of the senior year.
Study of Contrasts
The overall intent of the in
struction is to present the topic
of Communism as contrasted
with the American way of life.
The intent of the whole senior
government course is to help
students to understand better our
complex American structure of
Government and how to preserve
the freedom that exists within
this system.
The study of Communism is to
follow only after the student has
been provided a firmer grasp
and appreciation of our own
system.
Along with the course go :
ahead, the State Board approved
a tentative outline to be provided
teachers of the government
course. The outline is entitled,
The Tyranny Of Communism,
but that title was not chosen as
that to be given the course as
presented in the classroom.
Guide Texts J..
The outline suggests three
books in the field as guide vol
umes. The Menace of Com
munism,' by Colegrove and
Bartlett, Masters of Deceit,
by j. Edgar Hoover, and THE
Russian Revolution by More
head. The board said the biblio-
graphy will be open for inclu-
sion of other works as found
necessary or desirable.
DR.. Woodrow w. Wilkerson,
State Superintendent Of Public
Instruction, said that the State
Department Of Education is ar
ranging summer institutes on the
course for the benefit of teach
ers. There will also be regional
meetings so that every teacher
who will handle the subject can
be trained in advance, DR.. Wllker
son said.
The 13-page course outline for
teachers has sections devoted to
the origin and development of
Marxism; Communist revolution
and rule in Russia; basic goal
spread Of Communism for world
control, and the USSR in contrast
with the USA.
