S.C. PRESS ASSOCIATION ENDS GOOD MEETING (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.) remarked that he was to ex tend his remarks for as long a time as possible, owing to the fact that Governor Cooper, who was to make the address of the evening, was detained on ac count of sickness. Dr. Currell remarked that Columbia had only the best of everything, and hence had invited the S. C. C. P. A. to hold its meeting here. He gave many reminisciences of his work at college, includ ing the fact that he was found er and first editor-in-chief of the magazine of Washington and Lee University. E. C. Car michael of Wofford College re sponded to the welcome in be half of the delegates. The stu dent body of the college sang their Alma Mater, after which the meeting adjourned. An informal reception was then given in the college parlors. The first morning session of the association was held in the University chapel at 11 o'clock on Thursday morning, at which time talks were made by- Mr. Brian Bell, of the Columbia State. E. D. McKnight of Fur man; R. C. Thompson, of the University, and Carl McMur ray of Presbyterian College. General discussions on the topics introduced then follow ed, after which a short busi ness session was held. Owing to the inclemency of the weather, the association de cided to attend the theatre rather than proceed with the picnic that had been planned. Address by Mr. Ball. The Thursday night meeting was held at Columbia College, at which time Mr. W. W. Ball, editor of The State, addressed the delegates. This was the second time that he had spoken to a gathering of the S. C. C. P. A., the first address having been made at the meeting held in Due West several years ago. Mr. Ball suggested that a uni form system of capitalization and punctuation be used in the various college publications and taught in the English classes at the colleges where it was used. "Such a system would prove very helpful, in that it would start with train ing the freshmen and gradually work them up to the point where they could take over a publication and run it well when they become juniors or seniors," said Mr. Ball. He remarked that the two funda mental requirements for a suc-. cessful newspaper man were accuracy and the power of ob servation, accuracy in everv.. thing and truthfulness in re porting; observation of the smallest characteristic of a per son or thing as well as the larg er. characteristics. "The ideal journalist must have ears to hear, eyes to see and a heart to feel." He recommended news paper work as a good founda tion for any kind of profes sion. After the exercises of the evening the delegates assem bled in the parlors for a short social session. The Last Day. Friday was the last day of the convention. The delegates met in the University chapel to hear talks by Misses Clare Hammond of Winthrop and Eloise Spooner of Converse,, and J. H. Easterby of the Col lege. of Charleston. A business session was then held, at which time Summerland College was elected a member of the asso ciation and Spartanburg chosen as the place for the next meet ing. The afternoon was spent at the Columbia Theatre. Perhaps the most enjoyable affair of the whole program was the banquet given in the Columbia College dining room on Friday evening. Almost 50 couples were present, including Dr.. and Mrs. Pugh, Dr. and Mrs. Currell, Dr. and Mrs. Wauchope and Dr. and Mrs. Peale. H. C. Walker of Clem son College was toast-master of the occasion. The meeting of the associa tion ended with farewells said at 12 o'clock, and Buch anan and Carmichael plodded their weary way toward the city-and sweet memories.
