What is the most effective and
beneficial pedagogical method for
professors on this or any other
campus to pursue?
The Daily Texan, which this
year has published its opinion and
the opinion of papers representing
other schools as to the professor
most universally appreciated, goes
a step further in showing the two
schools of philosophy as to teach
ing on this campus.
Professor A "I think that my
lectures, representing research
done during the greater part of
my lire, are good enough as they
are. They won't be changed under
any conditions. They were good
enough for the ones today.
Profe&sor B: "I never intend to
give my classes the same soap
year after year. Of course the roots
of what I shall say will be funda
mentally the same, but the branch
es springing from these roots will
be different. With governments
changing daily, history is in the
making. Why should I close my
eyes to what is happening and con
tinue to give stereotyped lectures
in a fast-changing world?"
There are tha two systems in a
nutshell. "A" is a conservative and
"B" is a liberal. One is pouring out
the same material he poured out to
your father and the same he will
pour out to your son. The latter,
with the more active mind and the
more energetic will, realizes that
"times are transhifting." He does
rot live in the past.
Suppose they were both teaching
chemistry. "A" would .make you
pend two-thirds of the semester
learning' long involved formulae,
equations, and problems. The oth
er would take up chemical bases
of the foods that should be eaten
chemistry s part in building up
stronger bodies and healthier
minds; chemistry's effect on her
edity. Students under A would
forget their formulae as soon is
the final examination was turned
in; students under "B" who would
have obtained material in classes
correlated with actual life would
take away with them something of
value.
Were the two teaching govern
ment, the conservative would stick
to the old forms of government
set down in September, 1789, and
teach year after year the constitu
tional relations of our system. The
liberal would give this constitu
tional framework as a background
and then treat to a greater degree
the administrative side of govern
ment, which is by far the most im
portant in 1934, 145 years later.
In January, 1934, one professor
asked on a history exam this ques
tion: "What kind of a new deal did
the people in the medieval towns
demand ? How did they get it ?
In what ways was it like Presi
dent Roosevelt's new deal?" An
other in a similar course framed
the same question in this way:
"Knumerate the objects of a gild
merchant."
This shows the difference. Which
question necessitated the most ori
ginal thought? Which instructor
had brought the course dos-r
home to the student?
These two schools of teaching
have been outlined. Under which
fvrtcm would you prefer your chil
dren to study ? Daily Texan. j
The Ag-Y boys are really in the
harness this year and are going
piRces. l&si week they had
meeting to wnicn so many men
turned out that they hardly had
room to hold them. Why is this
so.' wen, tor one reason they
take up subjects which are of
great interest to the students and
tor another reason thev have
spirit or feeling of something deep
er which is valuable to a colleee
man who is here in the university
ouujeci ia lempiauons and asso
ciations which are apt to lead him
astray unless he has some one to
set an example and some nno to
nelp him so that he will not feel
out ot place if he does the right
ining.
If you haven't attended these Y
meetings then it is time vou be
gan. They help develop a broad
mind and a true spirit of Chris
tianity without which very little
can be accomplished. The next
meeting will probably deal with
armaments and world peace, so
come out and voice your opinions
on the subject
Last Saturday Professor Brack
ett and a committee headed hy
Vance Balfour did a little survey
ing to see if a level place could be
found where a skating rink could
be made without too much ex
pense. The best that could be
found was a place that had a nine
inch drop in 200 feet. This place
would require lots of water to
bring the level up and in the mean
time would lose a lot of the water
due to seepage. The plot men
tioned was very small and, accord
ing 10 Mr. Brackett. it is not ad
visable to try to do anything with

dents have something to put across

done by starting in the late spring
or esrly fall. Uncertain weather
conditions around this vicinity is
another reason for not spending
loo much on such a project this
year.

t-Xi-Agri-Kun skits are being
rapidly wmppea into shape before
the holiday season begins. A wide
variety of skits will be offered this
year and all of them will be top
notchers as far as side splitting is
concerned. Remember the money
made from these skits is put into
a loan fund so some worthy stu
dent may continue his education
in this university. In what better
way could you spend your money ?

Al Ebers was up last Wednesday
with his male choir. They sang
some Christmas hymns for the
service held at Ag collee-e that eve
ning. Muic lovers really had rea
son to love music when they heard
the soft and perfectly blended
tones Al's choir produced. Al has
done some wonderful work in his
community both before and after
he graduated. He is one of the
best examples we have of a college
boy who went home and made
good.
