THE BATTALION

Modern methods of teaching - have
at last found their way into this he-
man’s school. Yea verily, we have
been needing this for • many moons
and although it is only a minor prob
lem at the present time, these new
endeavors will pave the way for fu
ture developments.
The students in Ag. Engineering
were paralyzed with astonishment
this past week when they were .hand
ed a new “Terracing Song” to be
sung to the tune of “Casey Jones.’ 1
Happily, however, they were not
forced to sing it at that particular
time. The words to the song are very
clever and contain all the latest dirt
about terracing, donkeys, peanuts,
and Federal land banks. It will be
presented in the near future at the
Assembly Hall as an added attrac
tion on the program.
The only fly in the hair tonic now
is this: the “sing-song” method of
teaching (as it probably will be call
ed) needs to be applied to the School
of Engineering so that the ambitious
men studying thermodynamics and
calculus may have a fighting chance.
Then the Aggie brethern could chase
around the campus harmonizing a-
bout “co-sines” and “rectilinear mo
tions:” Poetry could be written, the
music composed, and the finished
song could be sung either as a fox
trot or waltz. The waltz could be
sung by the slow witted students
and the fox-trot by the quick
thinkers. As a result of all this our
collitch would find itself mentioned
in head-lines in all of the daily news
papers. Et tu, Brutus.
Blessed is he who speaketh easy
for he shall be filled.
AG. JOURNALISM
SOCIETY FORMED
New Step in Publication Work A
complished in Institution.
At a meeting Thursday night, The
Agricultural Journalism Society
adopted a constitution and elected
club officials. O. W. Thompson was
elected president of the club and S.
C. Brozeale was chosen as secretary
Specification of the publication of
The Texas Aggie Countryman makes
the life of the club dependent on the
success of the paper and emphasizes
the necessity of the club officials
working in close harmony with T. B.
Ketterson, editor; and P. A. Dresser,
business manager, of the paper.
As a response to the interest
shown by the club, the editorial staff
met Sunday afternoon and made
plans for the distribution of the pub
lication. Copies of the first edition
have been sent to county agents, ex
periment stations, and all agricultur
al clubs have been given special sub
scription rates. Every member of the
faculty has a copy, and student sub
scriptions are being solicited over the
campus.
Great interest has been shown by
students other than the members of
the club and editorial staff. All re
ports and stories of an agricultural
nature are solicited by the editor.
