With Spencer Tracy, Gladys George
and Franchot Tone in the leading
roles “They Gave Him a Gun" shows
Thursday and Friday at the Simon
Theatre as one of the more impor-
tant release* from the Metro-Gold-
wyn-Mayer studios.
Franchot Tone deserts
characters to play a "tough
Spencer Tracy deserts the "tough
guy” character for a kindly adviser
of a wayward youth; and Gladys
George, following her success in
"Valiant ‘ I* the Word for Carrie",
plays another valiant role as a war
nurse who marries a racketeer she
fails to save in “They Gave Him
a Gun.",
The picture, based on the novel
by Major William Joyce Cowen and
directed by W. S. Van Dyke II, deals
with the effect Of fcar on the psycho-
logy of youth, tracing the transition
of a kindly young clerk who goes
through war into a dangerous post-
war racketeer.
While war provides the motivation
and central theme of the story “They
Gave Him a Gun” is not a war pic-
ture. Only in the prologue is a glim-
pse of actual warfare. -

“Proof of the Pudding”
It has been said that eating is proof
of the pudding. From that we gath-
er that the cook is either good or
sorry; according to the proof of the
Monday accompanied by Mrs. Eiben, mating.
One wonders if this isn’t also true
of teaching, especially when a teach-
Miss Marie Dallmeyer with a bridge er has taught in the same school
a number of year*. It has been said
that we have just so many new ideas
or expression* and after that we re-
peat ourselves.
Architects have that failing. After
a number of years in one place the
were played, homes designed by. certain architects
can be identified, everyone have that
particular something about them that
sets them aside as his design.
Dentists and surgeon* have their
own individual method of doing the
job and at one glance their work is
identified, as being the work of Dr.
So-and-So.
Ministers who *tay in one place
a number of year* hsve a certain way
of expressing and doing things, that
the congregation knows and feel*
about how, he i« going to say, or do
h'. - - •” ' ' ■-
Politicians have that failing, the
voter* know what he is going to say
before he shake* hands, some mer-
chant* and clerks develop that to
a degree where it sounds funny.
The thought I am trying to get
over is that all these peculiarities and
limitation* are fine and good and
praiseworthy, as long a* the impres-
sion on the youth and public to Con-
structive. Let u* take the tegd>‘ng
profession; that profession. In my
opinion, i* one of the few that can
leave a lasting impression on the stu-
dent, school and community, because
of the fact that the material with
which the teacher works is of the
plastic or impression*! kind, so the
effect is very noticable to the com-
munity as a whole.
One would think that a teacher
who ha* taught mathematic* for a
number of year* say five, eight, or
ten years, could point with pride to
a community of citizen* who could
excel in mathematics, certainly lin
that length of time, the children who
took math under that teacher grew
from children twelve years old to
men twenty year* old, and the reac-
tion to that length of service should
certainly be visible in the knowledge
of young men in that particular com-
munity a* being good mathematici-
an*. But are they?
This is true in every department
of the school and teachers who are
employed term after term because
they fill the bill, or otherwise, should
take an inventory of their effect on
the growing citizen* of the commu-
nity in which they teach. Why not be
fair to themselves, the children andi
the community, and face the ques-
tion, “Am I filling tlye bill?"
Of all the departments in our
school system, English stand* <p>t a
snow capped mountain, for a citi-
zen may be a poor mathematician,
poor speller, poor historian, poor in
geography, and get by and1 put on a
brave front, but he can’t get by the
English, for that is our language, and
good English is the height of cul-
ture and refinement
That is one reason that changing
English teachers should receive ser-
ious consideration, for good English
teachers are scarce, and those who
can get their message over where one
11 school children, as they use it on the
1 play ground, on the streets, and at
I home, is certainly a credit to the
I teacher.
