Y LEADING EDUCfllOliS SPEAKflIP, 8. E. A.
SESSION AND AT CLINTON COUNTY INSTITUTE
Teachers Hear Three College Presidents, Dr. L. D. Coffman, Dr. M. G.
Brumbaugh, Dr. W. M. Lewis; and Dr. A. H. Keith,
State Superintendent of Schools.

The Annual Conference of the Central District of the State Educational Association terminated its meetings on Saturday morning,
October 12, with 600 teachers in attendance. Dr. J. W. Sweeney,
County Superintendent of Elk County, succeeds Professor Charles Coxe,
of Lewistown, as President of the Conference. He takes office with
Professor C. Victor Erdley, Superintendent of the Hollidaysburg
schools, as Vice-President.
The convention of 1929 was marked by the presence of many
leading educators, whose lectures should prove both a help and an inspiration to those teachers who had the privilege of attending the conference sessions. State Superintendent John A. H. Keith, and others
from the State Department of Public Instruction, brought encouraging
messages of the policies and outlook of the State Department. Dr.
Lotus D. Coffman came as a representative from another part of the
country, as president of the University of Minnesota, bringing many
worthwhile things from his wide personal experience in the teaching
profession.
Other noted speakers, such as Dr. Lytle, of Kutztown and
Colestock, of Bucknell and President Lewis of Lafayette added their
part to the fine programs.
The sectional meetings proved of great interest to the teachers in
their own particular fields. They were lead by experts in the various
phases of the work, whose experience furnished new inspiration to all.
Dr. Lotus D. Coffnian's first lecture
was given during the Wednesday
morning session of the Clinton County Teachers Institute which preceded
the P. S. E. A. conference. He spoke
on the Psychology of Habit Formation.
A question important to students
was answered. When do we do our
best work? Dr. Coffman proved there
is no mental fatigue, that one hour in
the day is as good as any other because it depends on the habit to
which we have adapted ourselves.
There really is no way or place to
study as this too depends on habit.
The main fact is that the work be accomplished in an efficient way. Many
teachers waste valuable time through
inefficiency.
Appeal Through Emotions.
The teacher should act as though
she wanted to like the subject as
children's likes and dislikes correspond with the teacher's likes and dislikes. The emotions reach the children quicker than ideals. In order to
get children to think a resourceful
teacher will create mental disturbances.
This can be accomplished through
a lecture recitation where the teacher

fills the class with an abundance of
information and then goes back into
a shell and stays there. Dr. Coffman
succeeded in doing this in his lecture
as the listeners .seemed to be weighing and considering his statements in
their minds.
Dr. Colestock on History.
Dr. Colestock, professor of History,
Bucknell University, also lectured on
Wednesday morning, using as his subject "The First Day With a Class in
History." Transforming his audience
into a history class, he went through

FRIENDS HOLD SHOWER
BIG IMPROVEMENT IS SHOWN
FOR ENGAGED COUPLE
Last Friday evenmg, at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. J. Caprio, of Lock
Haven, a number of friends held a
shower in honor of their daughter,
Rosemary, a graduate of Teachers
College and Ma.xwell Fitzsimmons,
now a student at the college, who are
to be married in the near future. It
was an event which will long be re! membered by all who were present.
With Sebastian Grieco acting as
master of ceremonies, an evening of
pleasure and enjoyment was begun.
Many games were played during the
course of the evening and these were
the cause of much merriment among
tile guests as each victim was made to
do whatever the Grand Master, Sebastian Grieco, decreed as their fate.
Following the games, a light luncheon
was served which from all indications
was greatly enjoyed by all those present.
At the request of the guests, Leo
Caprio, brother of the bride-to-be,
and one of the foremost violinists in
this section of the State, consented to
play several selections. He received
a round of applause from his delighted audience after each nuniber.
Dancing also proved to be a popular
feature with the guests.
The engaged couple received a
number of beautifu! and useful gifts
as tokens of their friendship and best
wishes for a happy and successful
future. As the hour was getting late,
the guests departed, feeling that as a
hostess, Mrs. Caprio was in a class by
herself. Those present were: Sebastian Grieco, Ralph Lantz, Angelo
Ripoli, Joseph Romeo, Earl Smith,
I Max Fitzsimmons, Fred and Carl
Hayes, Francis Mack, John Duke,
I Victor Piper, Einar Eliason, Kenneth
Weeks, George McMullen, William

Lee, Rowena Glossner, Dorothy Deitrick, Josephine Digeso, Margaret
Laird and Vanetta Mader.

The Maroon and Gray squad, led
by Coach Morgan, journeyed to
Mansfield last Saturday to engage the
leachers' College there in a football
game that, to Mansfield, appeared to
be a walk-away.
With the locals
greatly weakened by the loss of some
of their outstanding players through
.njuries, it was hardly to be expected that they could hold off the powerful thrusts of the fastest, most brilliant conibination that has represented Mansfield in recent years.
Yet the Maroon and Grey so completely out-fought Mansfield during
Ihe game that the latter scored only
by making long runs around the ends.
Ihey could do little or nothing with
our line, which held the speedy Mansfield backfield whenever it attempted
to get through. On the other hand,
the Maroon and Gray, once it got
going, kept battering the Mansfield
line until Red Cowfer, who played a
wonderful game all the way through,
crashed over for a touchdown. The
extra point was missed but the locals,
playing heads-up football, recovered
a funibied kick-olf soon after we
kicked off following the touchdown
and proceeded to march through the
Mansfield line toward the goal line.
Fighting against time, a pass was
trieil, which was intercepted by Mansfield on her twenty yard line. Soon
afterward the final whistle ended the
game.
Locals Show Fight.
The game opened as though Mansfield meant to roll up a heavy score
on the locals when she received the
opening kick-ott' and within five minutes scored a touchdown on a long
end run. P'roni then on, the Maroon
and Gray showed to advantage over
Mansfield until the third quarter
when a long run scored again for
them. This ended Mansfield's scoring and the locals proceeded to take
the play away from Mansfield. Beginning with the fourth quarter it
was all Lock Haven and only the final
whistle saved Mansfield from what
seemed certain defeat. The Maroon
and Gray attack functioned beauti-

contemporary
leaders of American thought, Dr.
Henry H. Crane, of Scranton, and
Dr. Daniel A. Poling, of New York
City, will be featured in a program

the conference will be conducted
largely by young men from the undergraduate ranks of the colleges.
One of the special features of the

I the conference, for thosj attending

ern outlook views education as a constantly accumulating experience. Dr.
Lytle pointed out that education cannot mean the gathering of a few
memory nuggets which will soon be
forgotten, but must mean a collection
of broad, useful knowledge. He explained that the newer conception of
education asked not what a man
thought, but how he thought; not
what he knew, but how well he could
apply his knowledge.
Textbook Should be Guide.
In reference to the textbook. Dr.
Lytle expl-iiuad that while one text
may be the thoughtful, conscientious
viewpoint of one man, it does not
necessarily express the universal
viewpoint, and while it may be suitable for one particular need in a
class it eannot meet every contingency. The textbook should serve
only as a guide to the teacher. Dr.
Lytle asserted that it is the duty of
the teacher to understand each individual pupil, use the textbook as a
guide, and then to, lead her class into
a broader, more extensive field of
learning, by using all available material as a means of advancement.
On Thursday afternoon. Dr. Lotus
D. Coffman, of the University of
Minnesota addressed the opening session of the Central District Convention of the P. S. E. A. on the topic of
"By-Products of Education."
Dr.
CofFman's talk was very spirited and
entertaining interspersed with charmingly told personal incidents.
Dr. Coffman made the statement,
that the efficiency of a school is measured by comparison of one with another in all that the school stands for,
and that pupil-progress is only one of
the important phases of this comparison. Moreover, he said, that if the
pupils mastered only the curricula
•nd fundamental processes, the parents would question the results.
