The Last
This is the last issue of The
Gamecock which will be gotten
out by the present staff. The
less said of our successor failure
the better.
To complain of conditions ex
isting would be to imply that we
might have dole better had they
been otherwise. And that is a
question. But there is no apolo
To those of the staff who have
cooperated the editor is thankful.
It is certain however that some
of the members have neglected
an opportunity to increase their
jiournalistic e x p e r i e n c e. To
those in earnest The Gamecock
offers a wide field for newspaper
work. Few give it even cursory
consideration, not even so much
as they were accustomed to give
to the writing of their freshman
themes.
The editor with a thorough
knowledge of the difficulties of
the office offers to his successor
whatever assistance he may ask.
May he find in his .ob as much
pleasure as work!
Busting time is here again.

What has become of the old

Sounds strange, but the coach

In about two weeks many of

proper place for us, anyhow.
Since Secretary Baker's speech
we suepect there are many who
are ashamed of their littleness.
The freshmen should have
utilized the recent freeze to hold

A bill has been introduced in

Now I lay me down to sleep,
Sum, es, est;

I pray the Lord my soul to take,
Eramnus, eratis, erant.

PROF. KEITH OPPOSES
ABOLISHING GERMAN
Prof. O. L. Keith, in com
nenting yesterday on the pro
oosed law to abolish the teaching
)f Germrn in schools and colleges
)f South Carolina, said there is
io necessity for such a law.
"There are communities," he
,aid, "but not in South Carolina,
vhere the law would do a ser
,ice. For example there are
;chools in German districts in
>arts of the country in which all
;he recitations are in German,
;he purpose being to make Ger
nan citizens of pupils. This
)ught not be permitted."
"The German language," said
Prof. Keith, "is one of the great
nodern languages and to stop its
;eaching in South Carolina would
e a shortsighted policy. The
3ermans have not stopped the
itudy, of English, nor are they
ikely to," he soncluded.
January 19 Prof. Victor E.
lector addressed the Kershaw
,ounty Teachers' Association.
)n Saturday, January 26, Prof.
tector addressed the Dillon coun
y teachers and on February 9
he teachers of Sumter County.
