In Intra-Mural Sports
Speaks at Chapel
Tuesday night, January 26, saw the
opening of Coach Kaiser's intra-mural
program for the year. If the interest
shown at these games continues, the
Coach may expect many other intramural successes later in the spring.
Realizing that there were many fellows at school who could not come out
for basketball, but who were interested
in the game. Coach Kaiser decided to
give these fellows a change to play. At
the end of the flrst semester, he had
those who were interested sign up for
intra-murals. The fellows were only too
glad to have a chance to learn about and
play basketball.
About seventy-flve
boys, comprising about half of the men
students in the school, signed up. From
these Coach Kaiser organized eleven
teams—five in the National League and
six in the American League.

The Y. M. C. A. has engaged Mr. A. J.
(Dad) Elliott as a speaker on the campus
for Wednesday, February 17, 1932.
Mr. A. J. "Dad" Elliott is an associate
national secretary of the National Council of the Young Men's Christian Association ol the United States.
"Dad" spends most of his time on college campuses, talking with college and
university students about the individual
and personal problems that face them.
He is a graduate of Northwestern University and represented his school on
the football team as all-western end in
1901.
"Dad" Elliott, with his dynamic personality, will without doubt meet with
great favor from the student body. He
is a great footbaU enthusiast, and would
like to talk to the athletes and footbaU
men as a group. Not only does he desire
to talk to the student body as a group
but wishes to have personal interviews
with the students. Mr. Elliott will spend
four or five days on the Penn State
Campus, talking to students before coming to our campus.

In t h e National League a r e Hoy's

Dr. H. F. Weber Speaks
On Oberammergau Play

In chapel Wednesday morning Mr. Ira
O. Fleming spoke of Western Pennsylvania's points of historic interest identified with George Washington's life. Mr.
Fleming's talk was especially fltting
since this year is the bi-centennial celebration ol the birth of George Washington, and since Fort Necessity, where
Washington visited in Pennsylvania, will
be dedicated on July 2, 3, and 4.
In order that the significance of Port
Necessity might be better understood,
Mr. Fleming outlined two of Washington's visits during his surveying career
which brought him to the western part
of Pennsylvania. George Washington,
while checking upon this particular part
of the state, erected Fort Necessity at
Great Meadows along the National Pike.
Great Meadows is unlike its name; the
territory is not level but like a gigantic
bowl with sloping sides and a swamplike vegetation.

In the intra-mural games played on
Tuesday, February 2, every game was
featured by flne shooting and guarding
on the part of every player.
In the 7:15 games Shishak's Majesties
bowed before the smooth-functioning
Cream Puffs to the tune of 23-30; t h e
Marvels surprised Dettrey's Cremos by
taking t h e m 33-30. Hager was high
.scorer for the Marvels with 15 points,
while Stehman led the Cremos with 12
points.
The last two games of the evening saw
something happen which should be news
to Ripley. Both games required two
three-minute extra periods before the
winner was decided. Fresh from their
victory over the Marvels, Monti's Roamers initiated Weipsic's Friendly Five into intra-murals with a 34-30 win. At
the end of forty minutes play the game
stood at 27 all. Three extra minutes
were played and the score stood at 30-30.
In the next extra period, Densham, playing for t h e Friendly Five, made a foul,
making the score 31-30. In the next two
minutes ol play, Burkhart and Monti, of
the Roamers, scored two double deckers
making the score 34-31.

The fort is being reconstructed according to the original lines of structure,
which lines are so accurate, that, in 1931,
by digging down nine or eighteen inches,
they are found and used.

Miss Himes Speaks on
Kindergarten Education
(Continued from page 1)
of the state a r e conscious of this deficiency and a r e taking steps to rectify
it, Miss Himes read a summary of the
address delivered by State Superintendent of Public Instruction, J a m e s N.
Rule, before the Kindergarten-Primary
group in Pittsburgh. In this address
Dr, Rule proves that he recognizes the
fact that Pennsylvania children are inadequately provided for and shows that
this inadequacy is due to the present
difficulty in raising financial support.
Because of the present system of assessment, of taxation and of inequality of
state aid, the larger cities can and do
support kindergartens while the smaller
and poorer communities are at a distinct disadvantage and are unable to
support such schools. Until state aid can
be equalized, it is the policy of t h e state
department to prepare teachers who will
be able to offer efficient service in the
kindergartens as soon as more are established.
In discussing the status of kindergarten education in our own school Miss
Himes told of the new kindergarten
maintained at the Penn school and the
splendid co-operation which marks its
relationship with the parents of t h e children.
In conclusion Miss Himes said that
our Superintendent plans to give the
children and t h e young people of Pennsylvania as great educational opportunities as any state in the union can
afford. It is for us to support him and
his work with the finest type of loyalty.

A new play concerned with pioneer
life in the early West is the subject of
much comment on New York's Rialto.
The play is Dan Totheroh's "Distant
Drums" and stars Pauline Lord, famous
as the creator of O'Neill's "Anna Chris34 tie."

Washington enacted a parley proving his
keenness of mind. He agreed to leave
the fort under the condition that his
troops march out with all the honors
of war. This sustained the morale of
the troops, prevented captives from being taken, and allowed Washington to
return with recruits. It is interesting to
flnd that despite the wilderness, news
of this siege was published in the South
Carolina papers just two weeks later.
In the Museum near Fort Necessity,
today, there is a wide collection of interesting historic relics which is being
enlarged every year. Souvenir hunters
are forbidden to remove anything found
around this historical place under penally of law.
Mr, Fleming spoke also of the following places which are familiar to many.
Among them are: Braddock's Burial
Place, Washington's Crossing near Pittsburgh, Franklin, and Cambridge Springs.
The dedication of Fort Necessity is
signiflcant to Mr. and Mrs. Fleming since
Mrs. Fleming's father, a member ot the
State Legislature, was instrumental in
bringing about the dedication.
He
brought this historical point of interest
to the attention of the State House of
Representatives and Senate, who later
favored the securing of the property.

According to an account in the New
York Times of a recent survey, education
is one of the few major activities that
has remained unimpaired by present depression. Most signiflcant is the fact
that states have been able to maintain
their financial support in the face of an
economic crisis. Maintenance of flnancial support, consequently, has stimulated effort, and with tangible results.
The qualifying standards for teachers
have tended to rise; educational opportunities are approaching equality; r u r a l
education has been improved; the study
of educational problems has been facilitated.
The situation in our school supplements the finding of this survey in the
respect that the qualifying standards for
teachers are being raised. The increase
in enrollment this year is the result of
the desire and necessity for more adequate preparation for the teaching profession.
An observation of the local country
which brings to light intensive effort on
the p a r t of superintendents to introduce
a m o r e enriched course of study in r u r a l
schools proves how authentic is this
statement concerning rural education.
These expressions of the present status
of education published by this association will be encouraging to those who
have of necessity observed the less profound effects of the depression but who
a r e ultimately true apostles of education.

Exchange
students at Fresno State Teachers
College, California, were recently asked
what books they would choose if they
were marooned and their choice w e r e
limited to two. A practical-minded
freshman preferred "Robinson Crusoe"
and the Boy Scout Manual, and a sophomore chose "The Biography of Helen
Keller." Other selections ranged from
the Bible and Shakespeare to a chemistry text book and "Alice in Wonderland."
Although Bucknell University was
originally established as a Baptist institution, both the Methodist and Presbyterian denominations a r e greater in
number than the Baptist group of students, according to recent religious census statistics released by Registrar H. W.
Holter. Among the thousand students,
twenty-five different religions are represented.
From "The Bucknellian" exchange
column we learn that at least some college students are not so hard hit by the
depression. The students at St. Thomas
College, St. Paul, Minnesota, take out insurance policies against being called upon in class. Having previously deposited twenty-five cents as down payment,
they may collect five dollars if the professor calls their names.
According to an interesting editorial
in "The Winonan," the publication of the
State Teachers College at Winona, Minnesota, a quotation taken from the "Winona Republican Herald," the youth of
the United States is for peace. In a secret straw vote by more than 24,000 students in 70 American colleges, 92 per
cent favored armament reduction and
63 per cent believed that the United
States should set the example by further
reduction without waiting for the other
nations. One third favored complete
disarmament if all nations agree, fourfifths opposed military training in colleges, and three-fourths wanted the
United States to join the World Court.
