THE COMMENTATOR. BY CREIGHTON SAUNDERS But tibi is comparatively unim- ] ortant The thing of import is, how i re we to cultivate common sense? re we to cultivate it by absorbing 1 nowledge, tbit which is believed 1 ruth ? But we must have common : ense in order to know which to ab- i orb. There is a period in life when ’.e are devoid of that much common ! ense. Are we to depend on teachers I о aid us in this cultivation. Most ieacheni are humans on parade, and i here is nothing во idiotic as a hu- i mn up to show. Professor de Launay Heads De¬ partment of Musical Training Again CORRECTION In The Howard Crimson summer edition of August 30, Dr. John Xan, head of new department of dietetics, was incorrectly spoken of as associate professor of Chemistry at Howard. Dr. Xan is a professor instead of an associate professor. The Crimson is glad to make this correction. A state teacher’s certificate in mu¬ sic is now granted students receiving a diploma in music from Howard, ac¬ cording to Prof. Paul de Launay, di¬ rector of music. Credit in the music department also counts toward an A.B. or B.S. degree. In addition to the studio on How¬ ard’s campus. Prof, de Launay main¬ tains a studio in town for the con- venience of thpse who do not wish to come to Eet bake. It is located in the Sefilp' РЦПО Building at 1723 Third Averuie, North. The same , credit isSftven for work done in the | down-town studio. Prof, de Launay also teaches pipe j Fortunately all of them are not p to show. The best of them are ot.

HEAD BIRMINGHAM, ALA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1933 Number 2 • . SPEAKER 'Howard Football Freshman Dies After Practice Game remember this definition of edn- eai ion from a yellow-backed social sci mce bcok that 1 studied when a hij h school freshman. The definition st иск me when first I read it as ch ice. I still think it is. there lire three distinct parts to th t definition. Two of the parts go to make up the third. (Incidentally, I th nk that the first and second parts — tnowledge and common sense — lose m ich of their flavor by becoming the th rd part. In fact, they become non- id entities, and “education,” which has a '.ank of newness that is frankly flat, hi s not the meaning one one of its V rte.) Noot Wilson of Guin Collapses on Field During Practice Game With Varsity and D*«e Shortly Afterward Noot Wilson, Howard freshman, tfied. Jate Tuesday afternoon from in¬ juries received on Berry Field a few moments previously. The accident oc- cured during a practice game with the varsity eleven. Coach Bancroft said that Wilson Howevtr, the definition was hardly H ide for word consideration. It is e ident to anyone that something n ust be done— practiced — to put the h /о parts together to form the third v hole. And heie we come to the bas¬ il ess of the educator. But in the beginning I was looking up the page of tbat yellow-backed, e leap, liiAle book. I still am. I am c invinced that I know what knowl- eige is- I am fairly certain of my f round when I say that I know what c immon sense is. 1 am not going to say wha; I think either is in just so папу words. You would not agree, 1 ecause you vrould not understand j ^•hat I found m that little yellow- j 1 acked liok, a tiling it seems few of I i ly classmates took from it. Per- 1 1 aps I sm wrong. By the standards , < f the i»ychologist -educators, I am. I _ But we are discussing the very j I aing that we set out to see what it i i— common serse. It is just what we 1 ave he:-e before us, the weighing of i less and opinions. You weigh them ii one balance, I in another, some- ( ne else in an entirely different one. ’?ho is right? We all are.

The I players had returned to their positions | for another kickoff and it was then that Wilson fell. He was taken to the Wood lawn Infirmary, where he died on the X-ray table. The cause of Wilson’s death was pronounced by physicians as concus¬ sion of the brain and hemorrhage of an artery. T. V. A.

Morgan, chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority and pres¬ ident of Antioch College, spoke to stu¬ dents, faculty and visitors of Howard College at the opening of the ninety- second year Friday. “The mills of the gods grind slow¬ ly, yet they turn out big grists,” said Dr. Morgan in speaking of the many changes that are now occuring. "It may have taken twenty-five years for changes to occur which have happened in the past six months.” The question, “What are we trying to make happen?, however, is a very important one. What program must be used? People are no longer fol¬ lowing a leader as they once did, but thinking is being done by students of the time.” “Advantages of imitation are that we understand each other,” Eh:. Mor¬ gan continued. “If we did not have capacity for imitation life would be much slower. The habit of imitation is increasingly finding a stronger Mrs. Bertha Severin-F^ost, twenty years ago of Holland and now of Bir¬ mingham, has been added to the How¬ ard College faculty, and will be in- 1 force in human life today.” structor of voice, according to Presi-| _ , _ .... dent T.

Dr. Morgan quoted Sir Arthur Salter of the League of Nations as saying “ninety per cent of our eco¬ nomic resources today are bring wasted.” One purpose of the project in the Tennessee Valley, according to Dr. Morgan, is to set an example for all people to follow and to improve them- feelves by imitation.
