For this year the players have been requested by Mr. Drum to give, very likely on the campus also, Eugene O'Neill's prize play of 1921, "Beyond the Horizon." Tlie second number definitely engaged will be a decided novelty, a dramatic ;irid musical program of the Far East, liy Mr. and Mrs. Michitaw Ongawa, Japanese actors and musicians. The program for tills second number indicates the introihu-tion of Japanese musical instriiitienls. ilanc-es, and plays in costume.

Superintendent Benson and Principal Drum Perfect Working Agreement CENTRAL STATE'S CHRISTMAS PRESENT From the City of Lock Haven is Greatest Forward Step in the History of the School On Tuesda.v nioriiiiig, December 12, all those seniors wlio were crowded out of the training school tliis term began practice teaching in the city schools of Loek Haven. The authorities of the public schools and of the normal school have reached an agreement that is epoch-making. Under the direction of the best teachers in tlie elementary schools of the city, normal school seniors will receive training in actual classroom work. No normal scliool in tlie state of Pennsylvania, it is firmly believed, can now offer the amount of genuine pr.-ictice in teaching under conditions even nearl.v as pleasant as can old Central State. There is no limit now to the growth of tlie scliool. On December 11 this agreement, signed b.y Principal Drum and by Superintendent Benson, was presented to and accepted by the l^ock Haven Board of Education. The next day normal school seniors entered the elementary scliool rooms of Lock Haven. Both the city and the school will soon begin to realize those benefits which each can obtain from this new n'l.'itionship. It would be difficult to exaggerate the .joy of those friends of the normal school who have had some inkling of the situation in which the school has been placed up to this minute. Coming out of the doldrums of the war, its enrollment sunk past the danger-point. Central State has begun a vigorous recovery. In two years the summer session had increased from 250 to more than 600, with the thousand mark in .siglit for the coming sumiiier. liw the same two years the (Continued on page 4) A CAPITOL TIME AT HARRISBURG Twenty-five Students Visit the State Capitol—Witness Football Game Something unusual occurred December 9; something very unusual; something extremely unusual. Twenty-five students were allowed to go to see a football game, and at Harri.sburg, at that. They didn't even ask to go. Mr. Drum suggested that as many as possible take advantage of the excursion to Harrisburg, carrying the Lock Havenites who were going down to see the game between Harrisburg Tech and Lock Haven High. As man.y as were not financially embarrassed jumped at the chance, and. as a result, had the most wonderful time imaginable. With Mrs. Cresswell and Miss Loekhart as chaps, the excited children took the train for the capitol. On the train everyone tried to remember the uiiotficial normal motto, "Make yourself seen but not heard—it is good advertisement," bnt—well, you know children. (Continued on pagre 6) iENTRAL State Normal School I now guarantees to every senior student what no other Pennsylvania state normal school, so far as can be discovered, is in position to offer: two full hours of practice teaching daily in a regular city classroom with a full class, under the same conditions that she will have to meet in her later teaching, but under the immediate and constant supervision of a competent training teacher. This is FOUR TIMES the actual full class teaching obtainable in some of the state normals, and every hour of it is done at home, in Lock Haven, without the annoyances of daily travel or of hoarding away from the life ot the school. For this Christmas present, this evidence of your good will, we thank you. Lock Haven.

N O R M A L LOCK HAVEN SCHOOLS ARE OPENED TO NORMAL SENIORS (Continued from payfo 1) entering class had increased from less than 50 to 120, with apparent assurance of another fifty p e r cent increase in 1923. The training school's numerical limitations had threatened to gompel the school to refuse admission to more than half of the 1923 applications; to give up all its brilliant prospects of further growth, because it could not lionestly take care, in practice teaching, pf its present e n r o l l m e n t ; and i t was more than hinted t h a t without a continued healthy growth the school would be closed. That fear should now vanish; Lock Haven has removed its cause. Central State can now open its doors to all wlio apply. More t h a n that, it seems jiossilile to say that Central State can now offer its seniors b e t t e r and more practice-teaching t r a i n i n g than any other luirin.il school in t h e state. It is known that in some of t h e schools fonr seniors are compelled to teach in the same classroom simult.Miieously; that in others seniors a r e forced to go into neighboring towns to board in order to practice teaching; tliat in others seniors had to take daily trips to somewhat distant towns or cities to reach the schools in which they t a u g h t ; that in yet others the teachers have b u t one school iieriod of actual teaching per day, the rest of their prescribed time being spent in the not valueless, b u t far less valuable, practice of coaching single pupils, of observ.ation of teaching, of marking paper.s jiroduced by classes which they had not handled. No Pennsylvania state normal school, so far as we can ascertain, is in position to offer what Central State now guarantees to every student teacher enrolled: two full hours daily throughout one whole semester of teaching a full class in a regular classroom situated right in the cit.v in which the normal school is located, under t h e immediate iind constant supervision of a <-oiniieteiit tr.aiiiiiig teacher, and in jiddition ;is much observation of skillful teaching, individual coaching, etc., as she can jirofitabl.v carry. This is four times the actual jiraetice in teaching obtainable in several of tlie state normals, and every hour of i t is done at home, in Lock Haven, without the annoyance of dail.v travel, and without the loss of any of the enjoyable life of the school. Working together, meeting the inevitable difficulties t h a t arose in t h e attempt to frame an agreement that would safeguard the fundamental interests of both systems, b u t with an evident desire to s t a y together, the city school board, the city superintendent, a n d the normal school principal "done themselves noble." And. not the least pleasing feature attending the creation of this agreement, t h e antagonism which tradition has had i t prevailed toward the school has proved to be either a negligible irritation or a myth. The desire to co-operate manifested throughout the creation of t h e new plan augurs well for t h e future. I t is more than likely that, in the first working-out of the new relations, certain strains upon each system will a r i s e ; b u t the same sjiirit of mutual helpfulness that has b r o u g h t t h e a r r a n g e m e n t into existence T I M E S WM.

The normal school expects to profit materially by the new agreement; it cannot help but do so. It is equally certain that the city schools of Loek Haven a r e to benefit also, through the relief extended to many over-busy teachers, through t h e added care in planning work which tliis time relief makes possible both for the practice teacher and for the regular teacher, through the increased focusing of attention on modern methods which becomes a daily necessity, through the financial benefit— $100 a year—which the teacher will receive, and in other ways unnecessary to enumerate. The plan which was ratified at the meeting is materially as follows; 1. The Central State Normal School shall be permitted to use the first six grades iu the elementary schools of the city to provide practice teaching facilities for seniors of the normal school. 2. Not more than 22 seniors shall be given such facilities during the coming year. 3. The Board of Education will furnish all rooms with light, water, heat. aud the usual school supplies, including textbooks. 4. Each student teacher shall teach approximately two hours per day, and not more than one student teacher shall be assigned to supervision by the regularly employed teacher at any one time. 5. The regularly employed teacher will become the training teacher, and will supervise the work of the student teacher after the manner used in the normal training school. (i. The supervisory relations of the city superintendent and his staff shall ill no wise be changed. When the regularly employed te,acher becomes a training teacher i t is mutuallj'' understood that she thereby accepts a. reasonable supervision of the normal school supervisory staff of the training given to the student teachers. 7. Student teachers with classes in music, art, or physical training shall be under the direct supervision of the city supervisor of the subject. 8.

In December's Magazines Do you believe that too many American young men are going to college? The president of Dartmouth College says so. Read the brief discussion in the .lournal of National Education for December. Ill the same magazine is a discussion by Katherine D. Blake on The Revising of the Elementary Curriculum. I t includes "History for Progress," "English for Tomorrow," "Common-sense Arithmetic," and "Live (ieography." In Good Housekeeping for this month is an article on "Child L.abor Must Be Stopped," by Raymond Fuller. Read i t ; it throws a new light on a problem with which ever.v teacher will come in contact. Seniors, especially those on the scrub faculty, may find something usable in the Normal Instructor on "Live Lesson I'lans in Arithmetic." "Are Men More Intelligent Than Women?" Be sure to read it, girls; it is in the liist American Magazine. Current History contains two live articles on current events: "Why the British Parliament Pell," by Wilmott Lewis; and "Italj-'s Bloodless Revolution," showing how 100,000 armed Fasciti overthrew the weak Italian government. "Women have humor," says Elizabeth Stanle.y Trotter, in an article entitled "Humor With :i Gender," in the Atlantic Monthly. (Always suspected there was something funny about them; guess I'll have to read this). The article on "Children Who Never Grow Up," by Alexander Johnson, in The Survey, is a record of Mr. Johnson's experiences among the feeble-minded, entertainingly and informatively written. Among the short stories, "Retreat," by W. Joyce, in Harper's Monthly, and "The Party of the First Part," by Philip Curtiss, in Scribners, are especially attr.active to our reviewer. The first, girls, might be re-entitled, "How to Hold Him When You've Got Him," and the second presents a man who thought that he would be liappier without his wife—but if more were told there would be no need to road the story. This is a brief sample of what may be found in the magazines in the library. Do you read them? If not, why not? "Missions in China" was the topic of the Y. W. C. A. meeting Wednesday night, December 6. Helen Nace, who lead the meeting, described social and industrial conditions in China; Anna Mae Landis gave the history of the Y. W. in China; and Euth Summersgill read "China at the Cross Roads." The attendance was unusually large; why not make that usual?

The variety of bows and courtesies which were given before and after each rhyme drew chuckles from so many thoughtless students that only nine performers volunteered. Normal students ought not require reminders that they should refrain, particularly when the lower grades of the training school are appearing, from any act which might tend to increase the self-consciousness of training school pupils.

We know one, but she uses revised spelling; licsides, the season is closed on licr from .l.anuar.v 1 to December .'.I, and she has some gaine-warden. We can't tell much of the hunting of bears, although w^e know one of tlieni toil. She's a woolly bear, but wc have had no practice in hunting b e r ; she has been hunting us, instead. Our hunting experience has been limited to small game: bunnies, chickens, and colds. Bunnies are exceedingly timid small game, with mooii-e3'cs and nervous twitches; there is no real sport in hunting them, for there is not much to one when you catch it. We have been disappointed too frequently in our search for chickens to feel that our advice can be of much value; most of the chickens that have cornered us have turned out to be eggs. For the purposes of this article we shall limit ourselves to colds. It is not blowing too much to say that we can speak with authority on colds and how they ma.v be caught. We fool tluat we have caught them more fre(|ueiitl,v, under more widely diverse circunistaiices, and with, ma.y we say, a more subtle hunting technique, than any other known living hunter of this breezy game. We have, indeed, reached a point ill the mastery of the a r t of the chase whereat we can catch them, invariably and solely, no matter what i t may be we start out to catch. It ma.v seem to the unthinking tli.at it is a simple matter to catch a cold. So it is, if you are a niarket-hunter priniiirily; b u t if you wish to make the pursuit yield to you t h e last ounce of that intense satisfaction that only the hunter knows—ah, then you require technique, adroitness, s.avoir faire. Drawing on our store of hunting experiences, we have chosen one method to set forth here, not too difficult for the beginner, .yet sufficiently open to developments to interest the professional hunter to whom it may be new. Some balmy winter evening, when the liroper conditions a r e noted—it is difficult to specify all t h e controlling conditions, b u t a layer of snow on the ground, a full moon, and a contented feeling are three—go out into the night, taking the rest of the conditions with .you. Stand around in the snow with the other conditions until it becomes slushy —the snow—enough to penetrate any leather or boot that has not been waterproofed. When you feel that the first two conditions have thoroughl.v soaked into you and the conditions you took out with you, take them back in again— the other conditions—pull out two chairs or one for yourself and the conditions, and remain seated for an hour or two, or until .your feet have become thoroughly d r y ; then send the conditions home, and go to bed in full confidence that you have caught the cold you started out to catch. There is nothing like a combination of wet feet and a motivated waiting spell to land it. As for the rest of the conditions—well, that is the techni(|iie we were speaking about.

Enter a dignified, elderly lad.v, .accompanied b.y her husband.

Mr. Drum Finishes Series of Chapel Talks "How to Study" was the topic of the last of a five-minute series of talks given i n the chapel by Mr. Drum, Monday, November 27. The purpose of his talk was to show how important it is for every Normal student to eliminate waste of time as much as jjossible. He advises more careful study during vacant morning periods, since this is the best t i m e of day for concentration. He told us that the proper temperature for study was between sixty-five and sixtyeight degrees. The desks should be arranged so that the light will come from over t h e left shoulder and plenty of fresh air is admitted. Two i m p o r t a n t things he emphasized a r e : (1) to review the previous lesson before starting t h e new, (2) To mark the important words, phrases and paragraphs in the new lesson, so tliat thejmtiy be more readil.v found for future reference.

TIMv:S Keeping Us Up-to-Date Musical America Three members of Mr. Sullivan's sociology class had charge of the exercises in chapel Tuesday, November 28. Grace Ishler conducted the devotional exercises, and introduced as speakers Gertrude Harper and Frederick Hunter. Miss Harper expressed the opinion that, since the women of the United States, have the right to vote, they should become acquainted with and interested in world affairs, and should make themselves familiar with tho general duties of the civil positions which women ma,y be called upon to fill in the near future. During her talk she paid tribute to Mrs. W. H. Felton, the first woman United States senator. The Ship Subsidy Bill was the subject of Mr. Hunter's talk. He gave tho facts upon which the advocates of tlie bill base their arguments, and then met them in detail. He concluded liis talk with these pointed questions; "Having already antagonized a great p a r t of the public by vetoing the soldiers' bonus bill and b.v passing the highest tariff act in history, would it be wise for the Republican administration to antagonize the public further by the passage of the Ship Subsidy Bill? Would it not be better to vote for measures designed to do the most good for the most people in the nation than to yield to sectional and partisan prejudices ?" On Sunday morning, November 26, Charles Herbster, accompanied by Kydesky on the uke and Ted Schreiber on the violin, serenaded Guy Luck for more than an hour. Herbster raised his voice in song, while Steve and Ted rendered several touching numbers, the last of which was said to have been Home, Sweet Home. Luck, wrapped in slumbers, missed the entire concert. Discouraged by the general lack of api^reciation, the Catzyowl Trio returned to their rooms. Question; What would have happened if Luck had waked up? Answer: He would have died, my children, slowlj- and miserably. Everyone who lives in the dormitory feels the necessity upon her to let off ste.am occasionally. We are but young, you know, and it is difficult to impose all the suggestions. Why not have Mr. Sullivan coach a football team at C. S. N. S.? He seems to get results in coaching the heirs to his throne and a few neighboring children in the street in front of his house. If We Only Could A truly beneficial lecture was the one given by Mr. Trembath, of the English Department, to the students during chapel exercises on Wednesday, November 29. Once more we learned that our jiower of concentration should and can be developed. During the discussion Mr. Trembath gave devices which, if faithfully exercised, he believes will show an increased ability to concentrate and thereby save time in preparing lessons.
