Scottish Singers Please in Good Dramatization of Burns' Famous Poem. The Clinton County Teachers' Institnte held its sessions in our iiuditorium the week of Novemher 8-12. With the exception of Monday and Friday there were three sessions d.aily. These were filled with interesting aud valuable information, which was given in talks by such capable instructors as Dr. Corson, Dr. Lose, Dr. Slutz and Mr. Lowe. Dr. Corson ,and Dr. Lose are no new comers to Lock Haven, and so large numbers of the students jind the faculty made use of the opportunity afforded to hear each man give, in his own way, the results of his many yenrs experience in the fleld of education. One li.ad only to hear Dr. Slutz and Mr. Ijowe once to make a vow that he would not miss ii lecture by either niiin the rest of the week. Miss Whitwell had charge of the music. Her flrst appearance before the teachers broke the ice. After that when it came time to sing every one forgot themselves and "sang for all they were worth." iliss Merrills gave ii very fine talk on the psycliology of memorizing, Monday afternoon. Mr. Trembath, Mr. Gage, Mr. High, Mr. Sulliviin, and Mr. ITlmer had chiirge of conferences, so thiit everybody benefited liy having the Institute at Norniiil ; the county teiichers as well as the Normal instructors and students. Dr. Corson made all his talks clear by their very simplicity. He took one idea and by illustrating it from every angle, made his point so clear that no one eould help liut beneflt. Personality "The Cotter's Saturdiiy Night" made the last night of the institute a happy one. The phiy is based on Robert Burns' famous poem, and was ably acted by the Scottish Musiciil Comedy Company. It protrayed a typical scene in the home of a poor Scotch fiirmer tibout the time of 1700. Tuesday morning Dr. Corson addressed the members of the institute on the subject of personality. Personality, he said, Ciinnot be defined but it is that thing in a te.acher, or .any person that singles him out as heing truly great. There are many qualities that compose it, but the real heart of personalit.y is a soul with faith in the Supreme Being. In the afternoon he developed the subject further by talking on how personality could be cultivated. Since personality is composed of niiiny factors, he said, we must train each of these if we are desirous of increasing this great power. Those requiring cultivation are self-respect, self-control, self-helpfulness and self-forgetfulness. The play opens with Miirgiiret Anderson, the cotter's wife, played by Edith MacGregor, sitting in the homelj' little kitchen knitting and singing "John Anderson, My J o . " John enters—Edward .Vlclliigh—iind tells her of his day's work behind the plow.

After a delicious dinner at Kosters, Miss Lesher took her eight girls to her home, where a very pleasiint evening was spent. The party was a very nice way to close the flrst nine weeks of work in the training school and was planned by the girls as a farewell to those who were changed to the other grades for the second nine weeks. They are expecting their two eldest children, who work out, and before long they come. Jeannie, the daughter, played bv Margaret Alexander, and the laird's son, Eobert Douglas, who has oon\eyed Jeannie homo and so receives an invitation to supper, arrive first. They sit down to porridge and cheese, iind .famie, the cotter's son—John K. Daniels, Jr.—comes skipping in to supper, iidding his tale of the day's doings. l''iiiiill,y an old neighbor, Tammas C'utlihertsoii, otherwise William Wilson, Climes to sit awhile. After supper is over iind the table cleared, the men tell stories and sing songs while the women knit and listen. Robert tries to get Jeiinnie to himself, and flnally succeeds while the other folks are gone to look at the "biiirns." He tells her of his love, iind his words are received with shy but favorable reactions. During the evening niiiny Scotch songs were aung—"Liuldie, Hurrah for the Highlands," "Ye Banks and Braes," "Scotts Wh Hae," "Annie Laurie," "Bonnie Wee Tiling," "The Auld Iloose." As it grows late .lohn, the father, tells Jeannie to bring the old Bible, and they sing "The Lord's My Shepherd." When they have flnished the children return to their niiisters and mistresses, Robert accomiiiinying Jeannie, b u t before they go their fiither gives them some good advice about obeying their masters. The scene closes with all singing "Auld Lang Sync." The play is not a highly exciting one, but a simple story of a happy evening spent in the home with all the members loving each other, and it teaches a lesson of wh.at ii home can be where love and content are to be found. NORMAL Dramatic Club to Present Three Plays Very soon iifter Thiinksgiving vacation the Dramatic Club promises us an entertaining evening. The members are preparing three one-iiet plays under Miss Albers' direction. Heretofore the plays given by the club have been gre.at successes and without doubt these will measure up to the same high staiiguage Kathryn Weidert Reiiding J a n e t Stewiirt Geogriiphy Science Department Conducts Junior High Chapel The Science Department of the Junior High conducted a series of spectacular experiments during the chapel jieriod on Friday morning, October 20. The purpose of these experiments was to arouse the interest of the Junior High School pupils by showing them the type of work that is being ciirried on in the science classes. The progr.am was entirely in the hands of those pupils who are studying science. An interesting feature of the program was the class song (Ki-i-kiikas) sung by the science classes at the close of the program. TIMES Twelve hardy Natuiiilist Club members braved the cold stinging atmosphere, and swallowed hard to keep down their feiir of the diirk Thursdiiy morning, November 18. At 6 o'clock they started and accompanied by Mr. Ulmer and "Bud" made their way up the girls' glen past the stone quarry and to the to]) of the hill. There after watching the da.yliglit come and the clouds go swirling by overhead they started back to school to get there just in time to appease a hunger which seemed unbear iible. Derbies Beau Brummel is going to school? You're all wrong. Thiit is only the day room boys going through the prelimiuiiries to initiiition to the D. R. B.'s.

Fudge Party and Conference Are Combined The old nnd now Grade 2 teachers took part in a very different kind of conference on Nov. 11. Miss Phillips had suggested a fudge party as a farewell to the girls who were going out, and while the new girls were arranging iissignnients with Miss Phillips the old girls stirred up two kettles of fudge. Alice Hesser and Viola Statler did the mixing, Mary Margaret Adams ran the errands, and lone Potter was oflieial "beater." Choral Club to Sing Cantata "Ruth" Three Normal School Faculty Members in Cast—First Club Appearance This Season—Miss Whitwell Directs With Miss Whitwell directing. Professor Patterson iu one of the leiiding roles, and Mrs. J. D. McCullough, forinerl.y our Miss Harriet Raffle, iinother of the soloists, the Lock Haven Cominunitj' (^horal Club will make its flrst aiipearance this season on Tuesday evening, presenting the ciintata, "Ruth," in the Norniiil School Auditorium. The Choral Club concerts, always well worth heiiring, draw large audiences to the auditorium. The student body is admitted without charge. The music of "Ruth" is Alfred Gault's, and is unusually beautiful. The local members of the Choral Club have been singing it ever since rehears.als opened, so many of the movements h.ave so much melody. Professor A. D. Patterson will make his first appearance with the Choral Club. If there is any niember of the student body who has not heard him, that student should be ou deck Tuesday evening. Mr. Patterson is lucky euough to possess a niiiguifleent voice, and uses it beautifully. He has been in steiidy demand in local churches and clubs since joining our faculty; ou Tuesday evening no one will need to be told why. Mrs. McCullough is not making her flrst appearance with the Choral Club; jnst her flrst appearance since she ceased Iieing Miss Harriet Raftte. I t will be genuinely pleasant to hear her again in our own auditorium. Miss Whitwell has directed the club for three years, and its excellent reputation is in no small part ascribed to her hard work and knowledge of music. Mrs. P. R. Kamp, who has helped Normal School organizations many times, will be the accompanist. Changes Made in Teaching Assignments of Group One Great excitement and much consternation reigned among the girls of Group One when the changes in teaching assignments for the second nine weeks were posted. Few of the girls desired a change, but when they consider the value of a varied experience they may feel more resigned to their fate. The changes as posted follow: Mary Margaret Adams . ..

Story Tellers Celebrate Book Week The story tellers started out early to celebrate Book Week. No doubt they Wiinted the children to appreciate it to the fullest extent. Monday afternoon, November 7, the following girls from the story telling classes entert.ained the little children of the Primary and Intermediate grades with just the stories thiit apjieal to their childish fancies. In the primary grades Edith Lundeen visualized in words, "Why the Cat Washes After Eating"; Edna Workman, "Chestnut Boys"; Helen Shearer, "The Anxious Leaf"; Guinevere Knapp, "Why the Rabbit Has Long Ears"; Helen Anstead, "The Red-Headed Woodpecker"; Ellen Smith, "Why the Birds Sing Different Songs." In the intermediate grades, Margaret Sutton told "The Miller's D.aughter"; Louise Escobar, "The Boy Who Loved F u n " ; Mary Gailey, "The Bride of Niagara," and Aniceta Boyliin, "Why the Sen Is Salt." The classes also familiarized themselves with the recent story books for little children which were on display in the school and city libraries. Us and Others Laura Stuart and Martin Maitland entert.ained their mothers over the weekend of October 24, here in the dormitory. Alice Corby's mother and father came down from .luniata on October 24 to see how she was jirospering thus far in her Senior year. Betty Jordan, Kitty Lynch, Mary Louise Ruddy, .and Mary Dwyer entertained four Theta Kappa Phi men from State on Sunday, October 25.

Every Man Attends University Dr. F . D. Slutz, iirinciiial of the Moraine P a r k School, Dayton, Ohio, in his Wednesday evening lecture on "Everyman's University," stated his desire to attack two fallacies of education. The first is the common idea that education and training in the use of the tools of education are identical. The second is that education is confined to certain periods in our lives. We enter Everyman's University, he said, when we are born, ;ind we leave it when we die. We take j u s t four courses in this university: Things, Other People, Ourselves, and God. A really cultured person in this university must have native intelligence, und use i t ; he must be useful; he must be agreeiilile; iind he must have spirituality. In conclusioii. Dr. Slutz said that we all inherit mental powers or capacities; it is up to us to use the tools of education to get the niaximuni product of those jiowers. Many Misfortunes Come Together Bad news reached several members of this school almost simultaneously. Mary Riiyinond was called to her home in Bellefonte on November 1 by the death of her mother. On October 30, Alice Whitney returned to Austin because of her sister's death. On Tuesday, November 2, Josephine diiiirdine received news of the sudden deiitli of her brother, Anthony, iind left for .lohnstown immediately. Anna Fleck left for Altiiona two days hiter, her nephew having died; iind on the sixth Lena Helsel also went home to Altoona, her griiiidmother jiassing away quietly. This year's Praeco will profit by criticisms. In particuhir, the life of the The school felt the deepest regret, school organization will be played up. and endeavored to express to each the The staff is after All-Americiin honors. sympathy of the student body. NORMAL USEFUL INFORMATION BY INSTITUTE MEN (Continued from Page 1) Dr. Corson emiihasized the fiict that a teacher's success in managing her school is due to the co-operation of the majority of the boys iind girls. A teacher should appreciate the fact that her pupils make her success liossible. Nor should she hesitate to show appreciation of work well done. "That school is well discijilined in which the pupils know that they hiive an appreciiitive teacher." How to Make Better Schools "Leiiding in sentiment for good schools is ill! iniportiint fiictor in the teiicher's business," said Mr. Corson in his talk, Thursdiiy at 3:20 P. M. First of all money is needed, then the schools should bo equipped and made liviible. After that moral support of the teachers should be given. A Duty and a Right In his Thursday morning lecture, Dr. Corson pointed out the importance of working together in order to prevent future disaster in America. He showed how strife would inevitably come if we would not work together in settling disputes such as those between capital iind labor at present. We must learn to guide our ship of state aright. The first right is the right to live. But along with the right to live goes a duty to live aright. The dutj' to live aright is of greater importance than the right to live. The second right is that of liberty. Again, the right to liberty depends upon the strict performance of duty—the duty to obey and enforce laws. Dr. Corson told the teachers to teach "reverence for law" in their schools. The third right is the pursuit of hiippiness. Accumulation of weiilth is not happiness, but men of means find hiippiness in giving something to humanity. "The duty to give unselfish service is greater than the right to pursue happiness." Education and the Times Dr. F. D. Slutz, princip.al of the Moraine Park School, Dayton, Ohio, g.ave severiil very good talks on education and its inodern trend. "Get the fun out of the thing while it is present. The past has some lessons undoubtedly and the future holds many treasures, but the wise person is the one who gets the most out of the present." This was one of the striking iiitrodiictoi-y stiiteiiicnts Mr. Slutz made in hi.s loci lire on "Education and the Times," Wednesday afternoon. Jle iiointcd out ten chiiracteristics of the time and how he would dciil with tlieiii in the scliiiol. 1. Till' cliiinged status for women. Women liave ii right to enjoy iill the freedom iiian enjoys; they therefore have double need to know how homes can be built. 2. Conducting business at long distances. More credit should be given to c r e a t o r thun imitator. 3. The mechanization of life, -with 4, its crowding out of beauty. For this condition, love and beautiful things in music and a r t should be taught. 5 The a n n i h i l a t i o n of distances t h r o u g h the r.adio a n d the aeropLane. We must teach iincient history ten per cent, of the time imd modern history ninet.v per cent. 6. We live in a diiy when the only authority in the world is the truth. Are you making your boys believe that truth is absolutely unimpeachable; that the human voice cannot change it.' 7. Doing things by crowds; tho iudividuiil may be lost. S, The great physical strain of diiily living. 9. Our contemjit for Law. We must teach boys and girls liiw is expiinsive instead of repressive. 10. We hiive come into an era of natural resources and we are left spirituiilly hungry. Stand for the spiritual issues in life—service, love, brotherhood, etc. Summing up, he gave this simple but forceful definition of edueation. "Education is something the pupil gets for himself through the teacher's guidance." The Schoolmaster and the Twentieth Century Looking through the schoolmaster's glasses, Mr. Slutz sees three distressing iind three cheerful things in America. The flrst distressing thing is a weakening of democratic government. There is a lack of faith, a belittling of the constitution, and a breakdown of state powers. Second, there is a reversion to paganism. In America we worship things, and there is .a renewal of force, vengeance, and violence as a cure for injustice. Lastly, education is not reaching the springs of action. There is too much lawlessness. Turning to the cheerful things, he advances the revelations of science. It hiis developed open-niindedness and a riitionaliziition of religion. He sees uo conflict between science and religion. Religion answers the question, "Who did it?" and science answers, "How did He do i t ? " Next, there is humanizing of education. Third, there is a slow but sure vision of a world of order instead of war and conflict. Mr. Orton Lowe, Director of English, Department of Public Instruction, gave a nuinber of flne talks covering the subject of English, literature and history. TIMES Is literature as good today as in the time of Kipling, Hawthorne, Poe? He answered t h a t literature is as good today as before; but, with all the wealth, science, and education of tod.ay, life is different; therefore literature is different. So we teachers have before us the problem of guiding our pupils in the understanding and choosing of the better types of literature. third, their prime purpose is to serve humanity; and, fourth, each profession has a code of ethics that holds the members up to a high standard. All these apply more or less to the teiiching profession. There is a hack of standards in regard to the teaching code of ethics, however. This is due partly to the .youthfulness of most teachers, compared to the members of other professions ; second, the short period of service, aver.aging only six years; and, third, the sniiill salaries. The increase in salar.y has done more for the profession of teaching than any other one thing. It has enabled teachers to dress appropriately, to have better education, to travel, to read and own books, to attend theatres, operas, music recitals, lectures and summer sessions, and, flnally, to become independent in their old age. In concluding he said, "Our business is to take the professional attitude, an attitude of service, of co-operation, of progress and of pride in our profession. The work you are doing is the most important work being done in the world, and you should be proud to be in the profession." Child's Mind and Child Study "Who was the greatest psychologist of all times?" was the opening question of Mr. Lowe in his lecture on "Child's Mind iind Child Study," given Wednesday morning. Mr. Lowe ranked Jesus of Nazareth first, then Shakespeare, Napoleon, Dickens and Mark Twain in the order mentioned, as being psychologists of children's actions. Throughout the lecture he brought out the fact that psychology is based on individual differences, interests and experiences. Pennsylvania, Her Domain and Her People In his speech, Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Ijowe tried to impress upon the teachers in just what a gre.at state they are teaching. He dealt first with the The devotional exercises were conmaterial resources of the state, showing ducted on successive days by Lock Hahow Pennsylvania was blessed with rich ven ministers. inineriil deposits, millions of acres of timber, fertile agricultiiriil land and with some of the most beautiful scenery in the United States.

Why We Need to Read and How to Do It "Reading is the grciitest intellectual enterprise in America; nothing else exceeds it," said Mr. Ijowe in his address on Tuesdiiy morning. The test of an educated niiin is, "Can he read books and does he do i t ? " Education is getting a new horizon and there is nothing else like books that can broaden the horizon.

TORSELL Dickinson Runs Up Century Score Good and Pensheff Run Wild—Scorekeeper Exhausted One perfectl,y good scorekeeper wore out three pencils trying to keep an .accurate tiilly during the horrible beating that Dickinson Seminary handed to Coach Dyek's shattered team. Sixteen touchdowns, ten goals after touchdown; 106-0. Catastrophe! The overwhelming rout started with the first toot of the whistle. Good caught the flrst kick-off and r.an 75 yards for a touchdown. From th.at time on Normal seemed to have but one strategic ide.a: to exliaust the Dickinson players by forcing them to run a fulldistance mar.athon. Good, Dickinson's flash, scored six times. He could run, and we could not tackle. Pensheff was Dickinson's left bower, scoring 4 times; Nye and Scliugart each crossing the line twice, and Lindemuth and Bechdel getting ii single touchdown apiece. Hohenshut made good ten of his 16 extra points. Normal threatened to score but once, when Bossert t.ackled one of Dickinson's many substitutes a, foot from the goal line, following ii biidly handled punt. Iminediiitely Dickinson punted out of danger, the full regular squad came back into the game, and the track meet was resumed. Why drag out the account? Lock Haven Dickinson Creditable work is being done by the students of the .Iunior and Senior Health Education classes. At the present time the Juniors are working on clog and rhytlim dancing.
