NORMAL TIMES At VOLUME 2 Central State Normal LOCK HAVEN, PA., DECEMBER 6, School 1923 NUMBER 4 ANNUAL KID PARTY A Opponents Win in Final Period University of Michigan Man Puts Over Much in Short Time. Over Battered Team—WinBorrowed From Institute ners Prove Good Sports The Central State football team made the long overland journey to Winburne on November 17, only to meet with defeat. The passing game of the tall warriors on the Cooper High School squad proved too much for Normal's wrecked squad. Up until the injuries to Schrot and Ward at the outset of the last quarter the game had been evenly battled, Winburne shoving over a touchdown in the second period, but being held for the most part with little gain. After those two injuries, however, in the last quarter a succession of forward passes, varied by short runs for little gain, took the Clearfleld Countians over the goal line three times in rapid succession. The four touchdowns represent the entire scoring. Central State being held scoreless, and Winburne failing on all try-for-points. Cooper High proved to have one of the huskiest squads in the state, their tall boys in moleskins outweighing the Normal aggregation about fifteen ])ounds to the man. Also the.y had a mighty good team, one that played the game hard, and that had the forward pass down to a system, too good a s.ysteni from our angle. The Normal School team gave a good account of itself. There was little gaining through the lines or around the ends by sti'aight football. Had the full team been in the full game, it is still likely that Winburne would have won, but the score would have been held to a single touchdown.

The attendance was rather small this j'car, only about thirtyfive of the men of this district being here; but there was no less enjoyment and profit from the meeting for all that. As usual with this gathering, tho meetings were informal, a give and take atmosphere making them as informal as they have always been, and distinguishing this meeting from tho usual stiff conventionality of most educational conferences. The program was published in full in tho last issue of Normal Times. I t is not reprinted hero, therefore. I t is necessary only to note a single change in the scheduled routine; due to the un(Contimioil on page 4) The best chapel t.alk of the year, according to the po]rtilar opinion .about the dormitory, was the talk by Dr. W. D. Henderson, of the University of Michigan, on "The Art of Studj'ing," given in cliajiel on Thursday, November 15. He said, in jiart: "Perhaps fifty per cent of the time spent in studying, actual studying, is wasted, due to ineffective study habits. No two persons study exactly alike, so that it is ditlieult to train effectively in the habits of study. The method that I myself have found to be the most useful is t h i s : First, read the whole thing to be studied over hastily, just to got an idea what it is all about; second, read it over again carefully, seeing how each part fits into the whole; third, close the book aud do something, anything else for a while, to take your mind from the thing; then go back fo i t and see how much you reallj' have remembered. If you come to a part that you really do not know, o]icn the book, take a peep, as short a peep as will bring it back to you, and make sure this time that you do know it. Never be afraid to take a peep—except in examinations." He illustrated his idea of studying by going over this ]ioeni, which he read to the audience three times. He then challenged them to repeat it, which they did, with more or less success. The poem, as the reporter recalls it, follows: I care not for my neighbor's birth. Or how he makes his prayer; I'll grant him a white man's place on earth I'roxided his game is square. If he plays it straight, I'll call him mate. If he cheats, I'll throw him flat. Other rank than this is a worthless lie; For all clean men are as good as T, And a king is nought but th.at. Few sjieakers have been so heartil.y aiiplauded. The students are indebted to Mr. Ulmer for the opiiortunity of hearing this splendid speaker. Dr. Henderson was one of the instructors a t the Clinton County Institute, held here in Loek Haven. Mr. Ulmer had heard him previously, felt that he eould not be permitted to leave Lock Haven without having talked to the school, aud persuaded him to give us a taste of his personality and power.

DECEMBER 6, 1923 Now for basketball. The football season has ended. The school has sounded the well earned praises of the boys who have started the game of football here again. The way in which they went into the games of this season, forgetful of injuries that might have made them ready to quit, had there been any quit in them, has earned them the sincere admiration of the school. But—now for basketball! I n the cage game this school's recent record has been real. Tho team that represents us this year has the incentive of a string of successful seasons behind it. To measure up to other wearers of the Maroon and Grey they will have to go some. Here's hoping they may do it. There is basketball material in the east dorm, and Dick Seltzer may be trusted to bring it out. We will have a good team to get back of; we have the siiirit to iiut back of them; and the student, boy or girl, who stays away from the games, or who goes but doesn't root for her team, will be conspicuously unpopular. Two more, three more, pep meetings before the season breaks, cheer leaders! A Medical Demonstration I t is partially the purpose of the authorities of the Normal School, iu arranging the careful iirogram of medical inspection that is followed here, and in assuming all the expense that goes along with it, to let each student know of his exact physical condition, and to inform the school also of conditions that may exist unsuspected, so that proper attentiou niay be given to safeguarding the health of each student who attends here. It is also the purpose of tho principal, however, to have our students see how medical inspection should bo conducted in the public schools if it is to be of real value. In other words, medical inspection here is intended to be a practical series of demonstration lessons. To insure the efficiency, the physical efficiency, of his sehool, it would be wise for every student to acquaint himself with the Iioints covered in the examination, the amount of time that it is necessary to give to each pupil to have satisfactory results, and the system of following up the reports to get the maximum improvement out of the work. There are no set lessons in this work, and no final examination, but it is a definitely valuable part of each students' teaching knowl Noted Lecturer Gives Ne-tv Views of Cliina Normal students, faculty members, and a number of the people of Lock Haven spent Sunday afternoon, November 11, on a trip through China with Dr. Frederic Poole, the noted authority on Chinese affairs. Dressed i n Chinese costume. Dr. Poole gave a very interesting lecture on the ways and customs of the Chinese, and conducted his audience through much of that vast country by means of many lantern slides taken on liis travels. According to the lecture, there is no student anywhere so keen and intelligent as the Asiatic. Chinese students have come to America, studied the latest ideas here, and on their r e t u r n have revolutionized their country in every way. For three hundred years China has submitted to foreign power; now it has formed a republic, with a government patterned after that of the United States. Changes in costume and in education have taken place rapidly, the spirit of cliange even going so far as to cause English textbooks to be adopted in Chinese schools. In China there are two distinct groups of dialect, the northern and the southern, which are very different from each other. The words in either are pictures, and may have five or more meanings, expressed by var.ving the tone of the voice. In the capital city, Pekin, have been constructed beautiful boulevards and buildings. 78,000 miles of railroad have been built within a very few years. A standing a r m y of a half million is maintained, rapidly approaching the efficienc.v and equipment of that of European nations Dr. Poole believes in the future of China, and believes earnestly that the Fnited States should stay the friend of that young republic. In great part, he sa.vs, the awakening and progress of that cniiiiti'.v has been due to our encouragement, and fo work iu all parts of the countr.v of Ainerican missionaries. In the near future, so carefully are the Chinese cop.ving the ways of this country, in whose friendship they trust, that the United States will be able to look into China as into a mirror, seeing our own reflection. Science Class Plants Bulbs Bulb-planting was the feature of Mr, ITlmer's science classes last Wednesday afternoon. The class, taken over to Mr. Ulmer's garden, lined up, and to each was given a flowerpot. Invited to take hyacinth bulbs to be planted, the class lost itself in argument over the seleetion of colors. Mr. Ulmer settled matters out of hand by marching the class past the sacks, and having each third person take from the same sack.
