AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK
To learn our school needs and to
meet them with constructive programs
is the basic purpose of the _American
Education Week. The institution of
this week into our nation is atv under-
taking fostered by the American Le-
gion, The National Education Associa-
tion and the United States Bureau of
Education. This week has been set
aside by the nation and for the nation
to observe. Its importance, especially
at this time, to the teachers of this
state, is of greatest moment. A bare
resume-of some of the work that has
been accomplished during the week and
of what is being worked for should be
of interest to every schoolman of the
nation.
The week as outlined by the organi-
zations instigating the move is as fol-
lows : Sunday, December 3, For God
and Country Day; Monday, December
4, American Citizenship Day; Tuesday,
December 5, Patriotism Day; Wednes-
day, December 6, School and Teacher
Day; Thursday, Illiteracy Day; Friday,
Equality of Opportunity and Saturday,
December 9, Physical Education Day.
Figures on illiteracy among the en-
lightened nations of the world show
this striking fact: The United States
American citizen? Shouldn’t every for-
eign-born resident be given a fair
chance toward the first steps of Ameri-
canization? Shouldn’t the opportunity
to learn to read and to write be guar-
anteed to all American children irres-
pective to where they happen to live?
Shouldn’t to all resident children be ex-
tended a free and equal opportunity to
gain that education upon which the
very life of this, our great democracy
is dependent?
The answers to these questions are
self evident. Yet, what is to be done
to remedy the matter? One of the fac-
tors striving for the betterment of edu-
cation in the United States is he Am-
erican Education Week, first initiated
in December 1921. With its institution
this year the American Legion is per-
forming one of the greatest services it
could render to its country. It is urg-
ing to give “special and thoughtful at-
tention to the needs and the aims of
the public schools.” It provides for the
consideration and the study of the Am-
erican people of our most pressing
school problems. Illiteracy, American-
ization of the foreign-born, the rural
school—these and many other outstand-
ing educational problems are listed for
consideration.
Not only is the Education Week a
local, county, or state matter. It offers
an opportunity to bring clearly into
view the educational questions that are
of National concern.
How much thinking about these
things have you done? What is your
state and community doing to help our
immigrants to become Americans? Is
your state guaranteeing to every Am-
erican child a strong body, ready to
answer the call of peace as well as the
call of war? What is your community
doing to insure its most precious nat-
ural resource— its children—well-train-
ed and competent teachers? What is
your state doing to guarantee to all
the “unfettered start and a*fair chance
in the race, of life?” What have you
done individually? How much have
you even THOUGHT along these lines?

ED. KALLINA
“Kallina, the right tackle for the Nor-
mal, was the outstanding star of the
game. Time and time again this tow-
ering forward broke through to down
runners, bat down forward passes and
block punts. He figured in both the
passing ,and receiving end of the over-
head game, and scored a touchdown
when he recovered a blocked punt be-
hind the Dallas U. goal.”
The above excerpt from the write-up
of the Dallas U. and Bobcat game,
written by William Ruggles, Sports
Editor of the Dallas Morning News,
has embodied in it the outstanding fea-
tures of Big Ed’s football ability. Not
only can the above be said of Kallina’s
playing in the Dallas U. game, but of
all the games in which he has partici-
pated since he has been playing under
the maroon and gold. He came to the
Normal year before last from the
Huntsville Normal, where he was a
letter roan in football and base ball,
and under the careful guidance of
Coach Strahan, he has proved to be
one of the best linemen the Bobcats
have ever had.
In many games, and especially in
the Dallas U. game, he would _ sweep
his great left hand over the entire left
side of the opponent’s line and say in
a loud voice to his fellow Bobcats and
to the opponents, “I’ll take care of this
side of the line,” and proceeded to
do it, leaving the other Bobcats on his
side of the line with nothing else to
do but plunge through and smear up
plays. Ed. could always be depended
upon to open up holes for the backfield.
Kallina is a base ball man too. He
made a letter here last year in the
box. He also swings a wicked pole,
and oftentimes parks the pill for a
homer. He will be with the Bobcats
in base ball in the spring. He has
two more years in the Normal, and
we expect even greater things of him
in the future.
* * * *
MAX HARRIS
Max is one more happy Bobcat this
year, for he has made his letter. He
was a Bob Kitten last year, and played
in a good many games, but was not
quite enough to make a letter. Max
made an excellent left tackle this year,
and' in every game in which he played,
he acquitted himself as a he-Bobcat.
Max is also a baseball man, having
made a letter last spring. Yes, he is
a Southpaw Twirler. He will be out
on the diamond as soon as base ball
season opens, and we are sure he will
show some good stuff. He has three
more years with the Normal, and in
all probability he will make these count.
* * * *
EMMETT SHELTON
Emmett is another man who made
his first football letter with the Bob-
cats this year. He comes to us from
the Austin High School. During his
first year here it became evident that
Emmett had the qualities of a good
football man in him. He worked faith-
fully as a Bobkitten last year, and this
year he has done the work in a man-
ner which will net him the “T”.
Like the other two men mentioned,
Emmett excells in another major sport, j
namely track. His record last year
on the cinder path was an enviable one.
On the basketball court. too, Emmett
has done a good deal of work. He’ll
make some old Bobcat scratch for a
job on the basketeer squad this year.

Max and Emmett.)

S. W. T. N. STUDENTS FOR-
TUNATE IN OPPORTUNITY
FOR ENTERTAINMENT
If the student body of S- W. T. N.
is fortunate in anything it is in its ex-
cellent opportunity for variety of enter-
tainment. The lyceum course offered
by the Normal is one of the best of its
kind. The picture plays brought to
this town by Mr. Zimmermann, mana-
ger of the Palace, are some of the very
latest and best. Mr. Zimmerman is to
be complimented on his success and
his willingness to accomodate students
with the best that is obtainable. If
you will retail it, students, you will
note that the programs at the Palace
have been up-to-the-minute. The Tex-
as-A. & M. game for instance, was
brought to San Marcos before it was
shown in any other city in Texas. The
securing of the Harold Lloyd comedies
is another instance of Mr. Zimmerman’s
lookout for somethong good for the mo-
vie-goers of San Marcos.
“Foolish Wives”, a Universal produc-
tion is coming to the Palace Saturday.
AH the glitter and glamor of Monte
Carlo are depicted in this picture. The
thought of the play is the realization
of an American woman that American
men are ideal husbands for American
women.

This is the text that Mr. Boucher
talked on at the regular meeting of the

Boucher is from Missouri, he consid-
ered the mule as the animal which
possessed life most abundantly.

state that this is a standing invitation
to all men in the .College and High
