The <3 Gil California VOLUME II FRIDAY, JULY IB, 1923 NUMBER 3 INTRODUCING- (By Ruth Canary) When first I saw Miss Fannie M. Kerns she was marshalling a parade into order. And such a parade as it was! First there were some roaring lions, followed by a clown and his inevitable balloons (yes, it was a circus parade); then came the kangaroos, >ome stalwart prancing horses, a hungry tiger, and a pert little monkey. A long file of elephants preceded the brass band, which rode in state in a most up-to-date automobile. More clowns, dancing girls, and finally the Queen of the Circus herself. By that time 1 had followed the parade to the circus grounds and, sure enough, there was the big tent with the Hying banners, the bright-colored ticket office, the red, roaring “barker,” and even the men who sold the pir.k lemonade and peanuts. Side shows? Of course, and the display of curiosities was most unusually complete. Did I say there was a ticket office ? Well, I neglected to mention that it was purely ornamental, for the parade and circus featured Admission Free! Think of it, in this day and age! WThat you needed to enjoy yourself was not worldly wealth at all, but just simply a wealth of imagination. You see, Miss Kerns and her ait class in public school methods were just having a little fun playing that they were “kidstf again and were having an unusually good time at school drawing what they had seen at the circus last week. Miss Kerns, who is supervisor of the art work in the Pasadena Public Schools, has some very novel ideas that she is presenting to her summer pupils as to how children should be taught to draw. She believes that art training in most schools nowadays is too often limited to just “drawing, and that children are not taught principles of composition so that they may arrange their drawings into a definite project. Miss Kerns said: “This parade and circus that you see illustrates how students may take their individual pieces of work and arrange them in an artistic way into a complete project. Children love to study form; they like to draw animals and people, but they usually have to be taught how to group figures artistically. That is a point that is too often forgotten by art teachers today.” Miss Kerns is an advocate of simplicity in art work, and says in that connection: “I always try to impress upon my small pupils the beauty of a simple drawing. Gradually their appreciation can be developed and as they grow older they will be able to understand more complicated things, but while they are still young they are best taught to understand the elementary principles of art through the simple drawing. But drawing and composition must go hand in hand. Children learn words, but they must then be taught to arrange them into sentences. Just so in art. We teach them to draw the single figure or object which in itself is quite meaningless, except as a study of form, but it is through the principles of composition that we teach the association of artistic elements into big, definite projects.” If you are up in the Annex some day drop into the art rooms and take a peek at Miss Kern’s lovely little “Circus in Silhouette.” DR. W. P. BURRIS OF CINCINNATI CHAPEL SPEAKER RACE BETWEEN EDUCATION AND CATASTROPHE, SUBJECT OF SPEAKER Dr. W. P. Burris, the speaker of the morning at the Tuesday morning chapel, who was introduced by Presi- BOOK BY BAILEY ON CALIFORNIA GEOLOGY READY FEATURE ARTICLES BY U. S. C. PROFESSOR PUT IN BOOK FORM “California, a Geologic Wonderland,” by Dr. Gilbert Ellis Bailey, A.M., Ph.D., at the University of Southern press. This new book of the scenic marvels of California was published by Dr. Bailey in response to a widespread demand for a book containing Dr. Bailey’s feature articles which have appeared in the Los Angeles Times. I£ Many avenues of thought are opened by automobile trips through the deserts and mountains, which are answered in this first book explaining the geologic marvels of California. Among the oft-repeated questions which Dr. Bailey’s book answers are: Is it true that California has living glaciers ? Why do the coast ranges contain “liquid gold” (oil), while the Sierras contain only metallic gold ? When did the Rancho la Brea animals live, and under what conditions? How was Death Valley formed ? What makes volcanoes. Will Mt. Shasta ever wake up ? Is our coast rising? Why the desert? In a western hotel the other day there was a reunion of world war heroes, when the head clerk, who was a first lieutenant called the porter, who was a captain, and the head wai ter, who was lieutenant-colonel, and had them throw out a former general who was cluttering up the chairs in the lobbv. dent von KieinSmid, is the originator ^ California, has just come from the of the case method for the study of teaching. In presenting the speaker the president said that it was only fifty years ago that the first Teachers’ College was founded. One of the oldest of these colleges is the Teachers’ College connected with the University of Cincinnati. Dr. Burris has been connected with that college for a great many years, coming out here for the past several summers. Dr. Burris* subject, “Race between Education and Catastrophy,” was originated by the writing of H. G. Wells in his Outline of History. Wells turns from historian to prophet in his thought of the future of nations. Today we do not know what the future has in store for us. Many things may befall and ruin us. More and more comes the question of the race between education and catastrophe, or to express it in the words of the writer, he “sees the need of a league of men— not nations.” This league should be based on a common religion, democracy, education, and no distinction between poor and rich. If this does not happen, men will annihilate themselves by their own inventions. Dr. Burris elaborated on the thought of the author. This thought is only a socialistic idea and utopian dream held by a few, but everyone believes that a sound education is the best safeguard against catastrophy. Figures show an immense increase in those attending colleges and high schools. Twenty-five years ago only one in five hundred and thirty-three attended college. Today one in two hundred and thirty-four are in the institutions of higher learning. Thirty years ago there were 200,000 in high schools, and today 2,000,000. These figures show America’s answer to the question of the race between education and catastrophy. Men today have changed their minds about the League of Nations. They see that the people are not ready for a step that far in advance. Rather have men’s energies been turned to the mobilization of religion and education against the oppression of war and destruction. The next war wrould mean destruciton of terrible proportions, affecting every class of people. For the first time war is being looked upon as a crime. The conference at Washington w’as an event of first magnitude in this great step. This conference was probably only a forerunner of many which will follow. In the past dueling was outlawed; why cannot the nations make war unlawful in the same way? It is the duty of the college student to keep the nation from catastrophe. He can help to make elections a thing of choice for the best man and aid in a measure in the education of political government. The student may also be of benefit against propaganda—“propaganda is worse than the demagogue of the early days.” Dr. Burris ended his speech with, “let us run the race before us, looking always to God.” Air has always been free, but we couldn’t appreciate it until auto tires were invented. DR. E. MIMS IS GUEST LECTURER AT BRANCH TODAY VISITING PROFESSOR FROM VAN-DERBILT TO TALK AT S. B. U. C. HOLLYWOOD BOWL CONCERT TONIGHT “When we think of the days wre fed rambunctious calves that butted the pails over, splashed milk all over us, tangled us up in their lariat ropes, chewed our apron and others, humiliated and irritated us, we wonder what fun kids have nowadays in organizing their calf clubs,” writes a feminine contributor from Fresno. “Is it that misery loves company, or have the calves reformed?” When it is a great joy to hear beautiful music even in a large, crowded auditorium, think how even more wonderful and inspiring it would be to listen to a majestic symphony or a gay concerto right under the stars, with soft summer breezes playing rival tunelets through the tree-tops and waving grasses on the hillsides. And that is just what you can do when you go to hear the concerts at the Hollywood Bowl. Tonight is University of Southern California night at the Bowl, and, according to advance ticket sale figures, there will be more than three hundred students from the Summer Session present to hear the program scheduled for tonight. The students are leaving at 7:15 from the Hill Street Station, between Fourth and Fifth Streets, giving them plenty of time to get to the Bowl and find good seats before the program begins at 8:30 o’clock. Mrs. Emma M. Bartlett of the music department says: “The trip tonight is intended to show the summer students how they can get out to the Bowl, and once anyone goes he never fails to want to go again as soon as possible. The Summer Session music faculty feels extremely gratified for their efforts in bringing the attention of the students to these wonderful concerts, and we are glad to think that in making arrangements for a special student rate we have been able to bring added support and appreciation to Los Angeles’ supreme musical achievement.” -o- ONE GUESS “How’s your garden getting along, old man?” “Well, if the green things coming up are vegetables it’s fine; but if they’re weeds it’s terrible.” “The Challenge to American Teachers” is the subject upon which Dr. E. Mims will address the student body of the University of California, Southern Branch, this morning at their regular weekly assembly. Dr. Mims is a visiting professor on the University of Southern California campus, being head of the English Department of the Vanderbilt University at Nashville, Tenn., during the regular nine months session. Many students have been attracted to the U. S. C. campus this summer in order to take courses under Dr. Mims. Since Southern Branch, University of California and University of Southern California are so closely related in the matter of distance, both may have advantage of the distinctive professors visiting both institutions. Something of the achievements of Dr. Mims may be seen through a summary of some of the work he has done. The most distinctive work Dr. Mims has done as a writer is as an interpreter of southern literature and life. As writer of the South Atlantic Quarterly for several years, as author of the authoritative life of Sidney Lanier, the foremost southern poet (in the “American Men of Letters” series), as joint author of Southern Prose and Poetry, as the writer of magazine articles for the Atlantic Monthly, the Outlook, World’s Work, etc., on southern writers and leaders, as editor of the volume on Southern Fiction (in The South in the Building of the Nation, a ten-volume work), etc., Dr. Mims has made a place for himself in the role indicated. As a citizen Dr. Mims has been most interested in combating the evil of lynching in the South, having been secretary of the Tennessee Law and Order League for several years; and as a member of the Southern Inter-Racial Commission he has sought to bring about a better understanding between the whites and blacks and to do some really constructive work in helping the negroes to better self-expression. Dr. Mims has delivered important addresses and series of lectures at a good many of the leading universities (Universities of Cincinnati, Chicago, Memphis, Atlanta, etc.) and at the New York Chautauqua, where he also gave courses in English literature last year and two years before. Some of his most important work has been done in the interpretation of English and American literature as a member of the faculty of the University of North Carolina and Vanderbilt and in the summer terms of Johns Hopkins, University of Virginia, etc., etc. Dr. Mims’ attitude to the teaching of literature may be found in the English Journal (Chicago) for January, where there is a copy of an address he delivered at the annual meeting of the National Council of English Teachers, held at Thanksgiving. In a word, he has stood for the vital teaching of literature rather than the extremely technical or philological, and for its spiritual meaning. OLSEN WINS LOVING COP FOR PROGRAM ADVERTISING CLUBS SILVER TROPHY WON BY IJ. S. C. MAN Proudly reposing under lock and key is the silver loving cup won by Emery E. Olsen, assistant professor in economic, University of Southern California. The cup, which stands thirty inches high, was awarded for one year by the Los Angeles Advertising Club to Professor Olsen as chairman of the committee which presented the best program of the year at the weekly meetings of the club. These programs are watched very closely and graded on the following basis: Twenty points for attendance, 20 points for entertainment, 20 points for education, and 20 points 'or general inspiration. The prize winner, which was given entirely by U. S. C. talent, w’as given Tuesday noon, December 19, in the Alexandria ballroom. Below is a summary of the program: 1. President R. B. von KieinSmid— “Christmas and 1923.” 2. Coach “Gloomy Gus” Henderson— “Will It Be a Happy New Year?” 3. Leo Calland, Captain of the Trojans—“Defenders of the West.” 4. Jazz Orchestra, College of Commerce, U. S. C. 5. U. S. C. Glee Club. 6. “East Is West.” “North Is South”—a series of talks by students from China, Assyria, Russia and South America. “The cup has been awarded for eight years,” said Professor Olson. “Last year it was won by J. Whitcomb Brougher, pastor of Temple Baptist church, and the year before by Arthur Loomis, now' president of the Los Angeles Advertising Club. “We are very fortunate in winning this cup,” continued Professor Olson. ‘It means a linking of academic interests with business interests. It shows that our college men are successfully competing, not only with academic ideas, but with business ideas. It is especially w’orth w’hile to our College of Commerce.” STUDENTS MEET FOR FIRST TIME AT RECEPTION Four-year-old Ellen lost her gum in the yard the other day. The next day she flewr into the house in a rage. The neighbor’s cowT, she told her mother, had found the gum and wTas chewing it. Her mother says Ellen can’t pass the cowr even yet without giving her a •mean look. MAW CREEK SAYS “Sisters, if you wish a man to think you are clever, encourage him to talk about himself.” University parlors were the setting for a delightful informal reception held Tuesday afternoon at four o’clock in honor of the visiting members of the faculty and the students of the Summer Session of the University of Southern California. The students and their friends were received by Dr. R. B. von KieinSmid, president of the University, Mrs. von KieinSmid, Dr. Lester Burton Rogers, dean of the Summer Session, and Mrs. Rogers.
