J. Ulmer is giving two courses a t Clearfield, one in Nature Study and one in the Teaching of Geography. He is also giving a Nature Study Course at I'liillipsburg. Forty-seven members have already enrolled in his three classes. 0. JI. Sullivan, Miss Ivah Whitwell, and H. H. Gage are running courses in Educational Sociologj', Advanced Music and Juvenile Literature respeetivel.v in Lock Haven. A total of twenty students are enrolled in these classes. A course in Advanced Music is being given by C. R. All at Jersey Shore, and eleven students are enrcdled. All courses with the exee])tioii of one course in Nature Study and the course in Advanced Music are run two hours per week for fifteen weeks. The other two courses are run two and one-half hours per week for eighteen weeks. Training School Programs The training school will participate in the Normal School Chapel program on the dates listed below. It will be noted that all of these are Fridays. On these days the training scliool will be responsible for the entire program e.xee])t the opening and closing liymn. Chihlren from the training sclioul participate in each prograni. For the most ]iart the jirograms jiresent typical classroom activities, although occasional ]>rograiiis may be somewhat more formalized. It is well to remind the school that these jirogr.ains are not entertainments. Please note that; They arc not cnteit;iiniiients. Working nnder abnormal conditions—on the auditorium platforiii, with liundreils of observers looking on —tliese training school children are trying to be as nearly natural as nature will let them. The studenls of the Normal School arc asked to co-operate. I'lease do not api)laud individual performances. Equally, refrain from langliiiig at natural actions, iiarticularly of the little folks. "Oh, isn't that cute?" and "Wasn't tliat FUNNY!" are perfectly ii.-itural exclam,ations, but the.v are entirely out of place. They add to the self-consciousness of pupils, and make some of them acutely miserable. This is especiall.v true wlu'ii the early graders are on the |ihitforiii. It .Vornial School students cannot refrain from embarrassing the little folks, then the Normal School Auditorium is no place for them to appear. Take these performances, therefore, as ;i \'er\- \aluable jiart ol' \'oiii' teaching training. Examine whalever is done to (Continued on pase ^) Marie Tiffany came, saw, and conquered! An audience that filled the auditorium came into it with some skepticism as to whether anything could be offered quite so good as had been promised. They were prepared to be ele\ated, and jirepared to show polite apjireciation in the process. They were not prepared to be caught up and carried awa.y, and that is, precisely and unequivocally, what happened. There was, after the first or second number had created it, a thrill and a tingle in the air of the auditorium more nearly like that felt on a football fleld at an ArmyXavy game than like anything else that this writer, who is not a niusician, can think of. It seemed as though Miss Tiffany enjoyed her audience as much as they en.io.ved her. She could not have been more generous in the matter of encores. She could not have looked more friendly, nor have shown more i)leasure at the pleasure she was giving. It may be that she has sung and nill sing .again to more keenly critical amliences, but we doubt whether she will ever lie able to look back on one whose appreciation was liigher or warmer; we believe that she felt just tli.at tlial evening. Miss Tiffany's voice is glorious. It is so ]icrfectly controlled, so warm ;iiid human, so adajitable to the infinite variations of her prograni. We believe it to be technically jierfect. Wi" know nothing of technique as such, but we do know that we felt at the conclusion of each number that nothing could have liei'u done to enhaiUH' the jileasure it gave us. We have sat and frankly vawiieil through programs selected so that music might ex;ilt tecliiii(|ue; we surremler when techni(iiie subliiiiat<'s the melod\' in which it li.as lost itself. Hi'r voice ;ilone did not win her audi ence, liowever. The richness of her interpretations was even less winning than the perfect naturiilness with which she lent herst'lf to the mood of each selection. "She was acting, 1 suppose, but she never made you notice that she was acting," said one not usnally efflervescent Junior, and that seems to cover the e.Nact idea. And golden voice and perfect ease were rounded out by ;i geniiiue graciousness that made itself felt iiicicasingly as each conclusion gave Ihe audience a chance to express its feel ing. This comment is inadequate. .lust what this Lock Haven audience felt is garbk'd rather t h a n ciimmuuicated through it.

The old adage sa.vs that music hath cluirms to soothe the savage beast so we decided we would tr.y it. As we are not all born naturalists like Carl Schrot, we are apt to take the easiest wji.v to gather our insects. We thought that b.v luring them from their hiding places by means of enchanting strains, would be about the easiest way we could find. Such an assortment of imstruments! A drum, mandolin, violin, Jew's harp, mouth organ and a jazz-ook made our collection. We found a delightful little spot a short distance from the road. There we shitioned ourselves, and began our task. We glued our eyes, so to speak on the surrounding rock, bnt no insects came forth, .4t last we had to give up in despair.

The following discourse on "Campusolog3-" is taken from a Normal Sehool paper: "Ciinipusology" is a science, a regular fine art practiced by every student. No admission credits are required.

TIMES Graduates Taste the World The Working of the Cut System Lives of graduates remind us Teaching is not all sublime. Make the most of present jdeasures; Woes will come to us—in time. The oft-parodied Psiilm of Life gets another lick. The occasion for this brutal treatment is fhe receipt of a letter from one of last year's grads, out in the wide, wide world, and appreciating the change. With suitable abbreviations, the letter follows: Despite the announcement from the platform by Mr. Drum of the rules governing cuts, and of various other interpretations that have from time to time been niiide, many of the students iind some of the faculty seem to be in some doubt as to how the s\'stem works. This explanation may only iidd to the confusion ; still, to put it down somewhere in black and white will make it possible to study out how one's own case is aft'ected. All cuts (and by cuts we mean :ill absences from class, excusable or ine:;cusable) are recorded against each student by each instructor. N'o instructor has the irrivilege of granting the right to be absent from an.v recitation, or of excusing any absence. Every time a student is absent from an.v recitation section for which he is scheduled, he must be given a cut. No attention need be paid by any student to his cuts until the.v are equal in number to the number of recitation.^ he has in one of his subjects. If he wishes to be given credit for the work he missed in those first absences, he must seek out the instructor, convince him that he was absent for good cause, and be given permission to make up the work. If he is willing to take a failing grade for the work missed, he may do so. "I am sending yon a check, for one dollar iind fifty cents for my Normal Times this year. I'm anxious to hear wdiether C. S. N. S. is still on the map since the 192.3 convicts graduated. "Before coming to Smalltown, I had alvva.ys heard that this was a Swedish settlement. So the first da.v I opened school by singing "America" in Swede. The pupils all looked blank, but I thought this •was most likely natural. Then I tried to take their names. Here are il. few of 'em: Marcowiteh, Si.leni, Horalampolus, Matoveski, Derossa, Servedi, and Straneva. No, I didn't try to pronounce them; I just sneezed them. Out of my forty-five cherubs thirt.y-one are Polish, Greeks, or Italians. When I discovered this (that they were not Sw-edes) I dismissed them by howding, "Wuss ko, buddy." The.v proceeded homeward immediatel.y, so it must be that T got the Polish accent half wny right, "I would like a little help in grading oral composition work.

There's onl.v this that gives me sorrow— Sure the ver.v same thing will happen tomorrow. Anna Heiges broke all the rules of etiquette—to say nothing at all about the boards in the floor when she deliberalel.v priived that chairs are unnecessar.v in a dining room. See the prett.v shiner on Haney'a nose; The school is lost! Even our sedate ilarie Cr:iin has had her hair bobbed and gentle little Emil.v Miller. Who can ilarie's poise and dignit.v aecpiire? As soon as a student has one move cut in any subject than he has classes in that subject per week, then he has cause to worr.y. The instructor must (there is no way out of this) report him to the office as overcut. Whether those cuts are excusable or not has no bearing whatever on the instructor's action; he must report the student as overcut. It is then up to tho student to file wdth iliss Ritter a complete statement of his causes of absence, with wdiatever evidence he can secure in tho way of notes from i l r s . Cresswell, excuses from Miss Y'ale or i l r . High, physician's certificates, etc. This statement will be presented to a committee of the faculty late in the term, and that committee will excuse the student or refuse to grant the excuse, according to the nature of the case. The facult.v committee is not disposed to be lenient, it is well to state, ileanwdiilc the student continues to attend classes. If he is absent again he again must explain his absence in writ ing, anil siijiport it by evidence. At tl>e end of the term he will be notified wludher his excuse w;is acceptable. Tf it was accepted, he gets credit for the cniirse. If not, he receives no credit whatever. Until he knows, he continues fo attend classes, and to worr.y—perhaps. Any student at any time, however, wdio cuts classes for trivial reasons causea a reflection to be cast on his professional spirit. While he ma.v not be directl.v punished, ,vet he cannot be regarded as having jiroved himself to bo a dependable teacher, and his undependabilit.v if known is faithfull.y reported to inquiring emplo.yers.

Hazel Northamer, Florence Chastain, and Alice Kunes have given up their classes this seniester and are doing their training teaching in the town schools. After a week of observations, they started their teaching October 1.5. Mar.y Dittmar, of Williamsport, came to C. S. N. S.

Anna Heiges nnd Grace Startzel spent the week-end of October 13 at Jerse,y Shore renewing old acquaintances. One of the three plays for the first performance is "Two Fools and a Lad.v,'' a farce comedy by Doris Holman. The other is to be determined this week, and tr.voiits begun. The Dram.atic Club two years ago (dianged itself from an o]ien bod.v. nonsecret iu nature aud unlimited as to nieinliership, into a semi-secret organization, and assumed the (freek letter name of Chi Sigma Ka]ipa, Membership in this organization has become one of the most sought after hoiioi's in the school. Ver.v few of us know that C. S. N. S. shelters a promising ,\'oiing author in the person of Caroline Weill.
