Dr. Lu miansky received his master's de gree from the university July 24, 1928. His translation is the first of Chaucer done in modern idiomatic English. Chad Walsh, reviewer, said, "Mr. Lumiansky has cleared away the linguistic bariers between Chaucer and the modern reader, so that the superb story teller can be enjoyed as casually as today's best soler. This, in itself, is a very great ac coiplishment and the book is made yet more appealing by the trans lator's excellent introduction and iht iseveral dozen illustrations done in color by Mr. Hoffman." (H. Lawrence). The translation was prefaced by Mark Van Doren and published by Simon and Schuster of New York. Doctor Lumiansky, son of Mr. and Mrs. M. S. Lumiansky of Dar lington, is now a professor of Eng lish at Tulane University. He is a specialist on Chaucer and Middle English and has wirten extensively in the field of English literature. While working for his master's degree at the university, he was a special student of Dr. Henry C. Davis, professor of English under whom he specialized in the history of the English language. He also studied the Anglo-Saxon language and wrote his master's thesis, "George B. Shaw as a Social Critic," under Doctor Davis. SAY...

E. Jaggers, professor in the school of education, in an interview last week. "State institutions will be asked to increase their elementary teacher output to three or four times that of last year," Doctor Jaggers said. He cited a recent national sur vey on elementary education by Dr. T. M. Stinnett, associate secretary of the National Commission of Teacher Education, which points out that colleges in South Carolina last year graduated only one-fifth the elementary teachers needed to meet that year's requirements. At least 800 new elementary teachers will be needed each year for the next ten years in the state to provide for increased pupil en rulitxiesit anid to replaca retiring teachers and emergency teachers, the survey disclosed.

Miss Goodwyn was iia parentage. She has lived t most of her life has been now maintains a studio in Is. She studied at Lucy Cobb Insti tute in Athens, Pennsylvania Acad emy of Fine Arts, and the Univer sity of Georgia. Her membership in professional organizations in cludes Association of Georgia ar tists, Southern States Art League, Southeastern Art Association, and she has exhibited at the New York World's Fair, in the Georgia build ing; at Intermont College, Bristul, Va., Regional show; Alabama Art Association; Nashville, Tenn.; As sociation of Georgia artists; Uni versity of Georgia, and City Li brary, Athens. Miss Goodwyn's pictures are southern scenes and a few por traits, done in a variety of media, pencil, ink, cont6, water color, charcoal, and oil. Familiar to all who have lived in the country are her series of cotton scenes. "Wait ing to Gin," charcoal, has patient mules flopping their ears in the hot sun while their negro drivers sprawl on the loads of cotton that are lined up awaiting their turn at the gin. Freshly ginned bales are piled in confusion in the back ground, until their owners claim them. "Weighing the Cotton," is another charcoal sketch of the same gin, with new bales of cotton being weighed. "Shovelling Cottonseed Hulls," a watercolor, has the grey tints of the cottonseed that has just been removed from the white lint. "Wagon Eleven" is another clever study of a scene near a cotton gin. "Old Slave's Grave," done in cont6, and "Road to Lula," an ink wash, bring out the artist's skillful use of light and shadow. In the "Road to Lula" the dark mass of a water-tower and low hillocks be yond it are balanced by a building and telegraph lines in sunlight. "View from My Window" was exhibited as part of Georgia's dis play in the New York World's Fair of 1989. This ink drawing is in teresting in its treatment of line and detail. Landscapes include "Little Au tumn Scene," in cont4, "April Morning," "Red Earth," "On the River Road," and "Road to the Check Factory," in oil. Portraits are represented by "Fannie Kate and Children" and "Patsy Douglas," studies in Negro portraiture, and "Mr. Irby." "Frances," "Mr. T. W. Reed," and a study of the artist, herself, all in oil. A pencil drawing of "Dearing Street Tree" and an oil "Mr. Thrasher's Mule," show Miss Good wyn's versatility of subject matter and medium. There are several other pictures in the collection, which will be on - display until Feb. 1 in McKissick library.
