ln the fie ld of peda gogy, ·atis[actory sen-ice coupled with char­acter is the measuring stick .

In the ea rl y days of wo rk in the fi eld of preparat ion of teachers, the matter wiis quit e uncertain. 'l'he executives g roped in th e dark . But now t he path is well d efined. Failures are q uickl y cl iscernecl and dropped . '!'h e competition is becoming keener and k een·er.

It is fort unate that Centra l State is one of the Teachers ' Colleges wl1ich is coming through. Placement of graduates is a true index of . e ffectiven ess or ineffcct iY eness of teachc1· trainin g and teaching pro­cedures.

Placements for thi · year arc being made w it h aston ishing rapid ­ity. Placements arc extremely satisfactory both in number and in cope of the f ield covered. 'l'his success has a cause. The cause is the

st raightfonrnrd po licy which is bein g pursued . T he course of train­ing enables t he graduate to hand le hi s position well. As a r esult, the people in cha r ge of hiring teachers always come to Central for more.

Fellow students: Thero has been a lot of discu..,lon in

the ' 'Pointer '' about the tennis e:ltua-­t!on at our College. I'll admit that there were times when tennis conditions were deplorable. I have reference to parti­cipation a.nd not the physical conditions. We all should know that the courts are among the best to be had. ·

At the present time, I think the ten­nis turnout has been very good. I notice in the columns of the '' Pointer ' ' that most of the people using the courts have contributed to the finances of the club.

Let 's boost and ,keep up the good work. We are all having lots of fun and exercise.

THE EBBING TIDE Sorrowful, sad, a nd dej ected he sits Thumbing his withered and warty

ha nds; Yea rs of ha rsh labor, depression, and

loss Have f licked· t he bright coals from his

spirit's brands.

Life -has bee n merciless, pitiless, cruel: Working a havoc in mind and soul ; Th ere he sits wu it ing - nwn iting t he

t ide That eJ,hs wht• re th e b rea kers roll.

Hopeless, forsak en, a nd lonely he sits, Res tless, un f riended, a lone - and wa n, W:t it in g the tide that is foaming in To t:akr him away when it's gone.
