 z The most important single element in the growth of any product is the sower. Almost invariably the planter is responsible for the results in a finished product. The sower gives a seed the proper protection during the first period of life. He also gives it the benefit of his years of experience in agriculture and helps it to mature rapidly in a healthful way. In a child's education his parents and teachers correspond to the sower. It is they who are responsible for his mental, moral, and spiritual development. All too often the child's teachers are blamed for a boy's failure, but seldom are they given credit if superior accomplishments are forthcoming. Athens high students are extremely lucky to have an efficient faculty. Our teachers also have that rare sense of informality which makes a school day something to be appreciated. Combine the efficient informality of the faculty with a satisfied student today and you have wonderful products— a good school, high school spirit, and at lofty position in the community. Fn.r
