CRYSTAL ef' 'Na County Clubs In addition to the county clubs which have been in existence for some time at the State Normal, quite a number of purely social clubs have been organized this year, which contribute largely to the social life of the school. Since the Georgia clubs have a purpose we will devote some little space to their cause and creed. Mr. E. C. Branson, former President of the State Normal School, was the instigator of the county clubs. In the winter of 1910 the MGeorgia Clubn was organized for the purpose of knowing the real economic and social condition of our home state. Soon after the club was organized it adopted the following creed: -if ' Obe Ccorgia Club Creed FIRST. We believe that education is a reciprocal union with society. SECOND. We believe that social conditions determine all efficient school function- ing. THIRD. We believe that the output of the Georgia State Normal School should be teachers who are aflame with rational ideals and purposes, but who are also steeped in reality, to their very throat-latches. FOURTH. We believe that the teachers of this faculty should be intimately ac- quainted with the indoor concerns of their departments, intimately acquainted with the best that the great world is thinking and doing in their departments, but also that they should be accurately schooled in outdoor, economic and social conditions, causes, and consequences in Georgia, in direct, first-hand ways. FIFTH. We believe that the school is one of the mightiest agencies of social uplift, and that no teacher can help to make this school such an agency unless he is directly and vitally related to the human-life problems of the community and the State. SIXTH. We believe that a teacher has a right to be a citizen and a patriot, that to be less than either or both is to be a mere teacher, and that a mere teacher is something less than a full statured man or woman-a tertium quid, a third sex, it may be, a neuter! SEVENTH. We believe that this school has betrayed the high calling where- unto the State has called it if its graduates do not set their hands to their tasks as teacher-citizen-patriots, as lovers of their kind and their country, with keen realiza- tion of home conditions and needs, with mighty and mellow sympathy and concern, with growing love for community and county, state and country, and with high resolve to glorify common tasks, common duties, and common relationships in faithful, self-forgetful devotion. EIGHTH. We believe that in the measure in which we and they shall satisfy these ideals will we all love the school more, our home counties more, our State more, and serve them better, both now and in all the years to come. December 6, 19104
