Annual
Conference
Brings 500 Guests
Four Students Enter Senior
Year—Miss Sue Northey New
Member of Faculty.
Central State Normal's new currieuluni, the .speeial third year of training for kindergarten teachers, under
Miss Sne Northey, a new member of the
faculty, began its flrst j'ear of existence this September. This is the special course so much discussed last fall,
whieh is to be operated in Lock Haven
Normal and in Loek Haven Normal only.
In addition to the many kindergarten
teachers now taking tlie first two years
of work, the regular two years of the
Group One curricula, four students have
enrolled as charter members, so to
speak, of the third year. These four
are Vivian Eberhart, Helen Marr, and
Helen Swartz, all graduates of Lock Haven Norm.'il, and Ursula Ryan, a graduate of Slippei'y Rock Normal School.
The work is well organized under Miss
Sue Northey. Miss Northey is a graduate of the Natioiuil Kindergarten College, Chicago, where she received her
baccalaureate degree after four years
of special preparation. She has followed this up with much graduate
study lieyond that required for her master's degree at Northwestern. Her experience has been wide; she has taught
in iSan Antonio, Texas; Youngstown,
Ohio; Washington, D. C ; Cleveland,
Ohio, and in state teachers' colleges iu
Illinois, Iowa, and Ohio.

—and they were those with complicated
credit problems—had to spend much
more time than that after passing the
bursar's table.
The faculty worked at registration
from nine in the morning until six that

year of history begun. Late entrants,
comparatively few in number, were sent

District Convention of P. S. E. A.—Mountain Arts
Join—Two State Superintendents Here
The second annual convention of the
central district of the Pennsylvania State
Educational Association, this year held
in conjunction with the conference of
the Mountain Arts Association, has
brought 500 distinguished guests to Central State. Two state superintendents,
the president of the state educational
association, an ex-governor of Pennsylviinia, and other notables are on the list
of speakers. The Normal School continues in active operation, but the student and the faculty are doing what
can be done to extend the hospitality
for which, it is hoped, this school is
known.
Dr. Cliarles E. Lose, former principal
of this school; Ex-Governor M.artin G.
Brumliaugh, now president of .luniata
College; Dr. Will Grant ('hambcrs, dean
of the graduate school at Penn State
and an alumnus of Central State, and
Dr. Frank G. Davis, of Bucknell's depaitment of educitiou, spoke at the
moiiiing and afternoon sessions on October 7. Dr. 11. B. HoUoway, superintendent of schools of the state of Delaware, was the speaker for the evening
session.
Friday's iiioniiug session brought to
the platform Dr. W. R. Straugliii, principal of Mansfield Normal School; Dr.
I'aul S. Leinbaeh, of Philadelphia, addressing tlic evening session. The afternoon was given to departmental meetings. Saturday morning Dr. Carroll
Champlin, of I'enn State's School of
Education, and Dr. .1. Herbert Kelly, editor of the School .lournal, spoke.
Mountain Arts Sessions
The ilountaiii Arts Association met
with the schoolmen in the general sessions. On Friday afternoon five group
meetings were held: In agriculture, art,
commercial, home economics, and industrial arts, and on Friday evening the
members of the association banqueted
at the New Fallon Hotel.

Superintendent Gu.y C. Brosius, of

STEEPLE-CHASING IS
LOSE TO SMETHPORT
THE LATEST SPORT
IN RAGGED GAME
Long lines of ditches run across the
campus. From the lieating plant to the
training school, from the training scliool
to the main building, run six-foot
ditches, with bunkers of dirt on either
side. Day students and dorm students
clutch their hand-bagg.age, t.ake short,
skippy runs or long, loping runs, according to their nature, and sail gracefully
over, as gracefully as Nature permits.
To date no one has fallen short. I t
would not be wise. Seekers after wisdom are we, bnt nothing can convince
us that wisdom lies prostrate at the bottom of a ditch. We might be wiser
were we convinced; it is lietter that
wisdom lie prostrate there than that we
show it how. Perlunis if one of us could
find wisdom that w.ay tho rest of us
miglit take time enough to go around,
effectively if not athletically, over the
temporary bridges that have been provided. Any student should be wise
enough to know that steejile-ch.asing
ought to argue a horse.
The cause of it all is the determination of the Board of Trustees that the
Normal Scliool dormitories shall hiive
plenty of heat all througli the winter.
There has never been any cause for
complaint in that regard, but the steam
lines, laid a quarter of a century ago,
gave Dr. Armstrong, Mr. Bitter, Mr.
Hursh, and Belvie many anxious moments during the past winter. The sight
of a campus torn up to let a repair
man down to the pipes had occurred too
often to content any one. From now
on tliere will be no trouble.
A series of six-inch steel pipes are to
be laid in each ditch. They are to be
cased in a concrete tunnel, high enough
to permit a man to go all along the
pipe-lines, and to repair any break without delay for digging. The work is being pushed so that the campus may be
restored and ample heat ensured before
real winter weather reaches Lock Haven.
Three large new boilers are being installed in the heating-plant. The increasing size of the Normal Sehool has
worked the former boilers to capacity.
The new boilers, of the Oil City type,
one of them a high-pressure boiler, the
other two for low pressure, will be sufficient to provide steady heat with an
ample margin over any ijresent need.

New Courses Are Offered
Noticeable changes have taken place in
the courses of study offered in the State
Normal Schools. The English requirement in first semester has been reduced
from five to three hours, while iu the
second semester it is increased to three
hours. This makes a total of six hours
for the first year.
These changes also include many new
courses. Among these are English Literature, American Government, History
and Appreciation of Music, Principles
of Edueation, and Technique of Teaching. Many of these courses are required in the last four semesters of the
course of study for Group I I I .
The course in English Literature embraces the study of both early and late
writers. The study of modern authors
is to be emphasized. Much time is de-

drill, smooth play that can come only

not against St. Francis or Stroudsburg,

New Laundry Rises
The new liiiuulr.v building is more
than a promise. The old building, familiiir to miin.y generations of Nnrmal
students, has been torn down. Foundation walls for il new, much larger building of brick have been laid, iind piles
of wood for scafl'olding cover mueh of
the ground in the rear of the triiining
school just be.yond Mr. Htirsh's home.
The new laundry will be half again aa
large iis the old one. The liiundr.v miichinery will all be on the niiiin floor in
one very large room, arranged to save
waste time and steps. Inside the front
entrance will be ' a distriliuting room,
pliinned to serve a large number of students quickly; also an office for records,
etc.
On the basement floor there will be
rooms to which will be moved the steamfitting iind ciirpenter shops, which now
occupy the basement of the main building. During building operations all Normal students' liuiiidry-work is being done
in a Lock Haven Laundry.
Paul Voiiiidii is doing very well with

can speak with authority to this nation
of gabblers."
Art Should Be Expression
Dr. W. (i. Chambers was the first
speaker to be introduced in the Thursday iifternoon session, by Supt. W. A.
Geesey, of Sunbury, who presided in the
absence of Supt. Dunlap, of Lycoming
County. Dr. Chambers' discussion of
"The Value of Art" emphasized its possibilities for developing the duiil nature
of the child simultaneousl,v; his physical or objective nature, and his psychological or subjective nature.
Dr. Chambers criticized the rigid formality of the earlier types of kindergarten procedures; the empliiisis should
always have been, as it increiisingly is
now, on the worth of all processes to
the child. He declared for a, saner use
of iirt in the schools, from the earliest
grades up, with less attentiou to the artproducts and more to the art-experience.
His conclusion wus that the spiritutil
Viilue of the experience in creating something as fiir as possible out of his own
creative spirit was far more beneficial
to the child than mere copying of the
work of another, even though that other
be a teiicher.
Remove Pre-School Handicaps
Miss Jessie Scott Himes, director of
primary education in our own school,
talked on the pre-school child, and gave
iin excellent presentation, very briefly,
of this most recent advent in education. She brought out the Viilue of preschool, kindergarten, training to many
children; to the child who lives in the
neglected home; to the child who enters
the first grade unable to make the necessary social adjustments, due to excessive
timidity, to a language hiiudicap, or to
many other common causes of early
backwardness; she pleaded that these
and other types be given the benefit of
pre-school training, that this glaring deficiency in most of our present school
systems be removed. Miss Himes' talk
received much favorable comment later
in the conversations that went on about
the auditorium and in the halls.
Traces the Guidance Movement
The development of the guidance
movement, an essential elemeut in modern secondary education, wus the burden of Dr. Frank G. Davis' address. Dr.
Davis is a member of the faculty of
Bucknell University's school of education.
Dr. Davis traced the history of tho
guidance iiioveinent, paying tribute to
its pioneer spirits. He wished to expand the concept of guidance beyond
t h a t of vocational guidance, with which
it appears, unfortunately, he said, to
have become somewhat synonymous. He
described briefly other fields in which
guidance is needed and should be afforded; moral guidance, scholiistic guid-

ance, etc. No secondary school system
should neglect its duty of offering to
imniiiture minds such direction iis will

da.v should be right spiritual forces;
for if the forces which aniniate men in
America today are wrong, the progress
of toinorrow for America must be swiftly downward.
Spirited Round Table
Preceding Dr. Straugliii's talk there
was il spirited round tiilile discussion, ii
feature saved from the schoolmen's conference out of which the present stiite
conference has grown. As usual opinions
were vigorously presented, points of view
opposed to points of view, b,y many of
the niembers as the.v felt moved, and
clearer understiiiulings iirrived at, even
though there were few complete iigreeuients. The value of examinations as a
basis for promotion received the variet.v
of opinions natural when contributed
by high school teiichers, large city superiutoii dents, county superintendents,
and others whose experiences varied as
widely. The problem of teacher-triiining for rural schools and the value educiitionally of institutes and association
nieetings both provoked animated discussion.

There can be no effective education,
he said, which is not solidly grounded
on the good health of the pupil who is
Iieing educated. All progress must be
held together and given direction by
faith iind by orgiinized education; lacking either there can be only fiiilure.
Given both, then the school must build
a ladder of good habits. The information which a pupil takes with him
into the world is of unquestionable value
from time to time, but the hiibits of
work, of thinking, of behavior, which
he hiis formed condition the results of
every effort to succeed. The real prodMountain Arts Register

Administrative Problems
The city iind borough superintendents,
ineeting in Room 25, with Supt. W. M.
Pierce, of Ridgway, iis chairman, threw
themselves into a lively discussion of
administriitive detiiils. The length of
the class period which results in most
efficient teaching, the proper size of
cliiss divisions for best results, the maximum length of the school day, the value
of intelligence tests in securing better
teaching, the improvement of tetiching
througii supervision; these were among
the (iuestious discussed by the thirty
who attended the conference.
Few Rural Teachers
Few ruriil teachers attended their sectional meeting, of which Miss Betty
Baird was chiiirman, iiiid Dr. ,L \V. Sweeney, Elk County's superintendent, advisory member. Consenuently the meeting adjourned after a very short session.
The High School Teachers
The high school teiichers met in the
auditorium, Mr, A. M. Weaver, formerly
principiil of Williamsport High School,
whose services to that city were recently rewarded by his election iis city superintendent, being chairmiin, and Dr.
J. N. Rule, of the state department, advisory niember.
There was some sentiment in favor of
milking Liitin a compulsory subject in
high schools, tho consensus of opinion
being, however, that it should be elective, but strenuousl.v urged upon those
who niiiy need it. Opposition was expressed to a course in general langUiige,

course in its present experimental shape.

but that supervision should not approiich complete direction. .Iust what

Demonstration Lesson
Prof. L, J. Ulmer, of the Normal

lesson in community geography to a
seventh grade chiss from the training

Dr. I'aul S. Eeiiibach gave an address
thiit hit hard certain present-day conditions, at the session of Friday evening,
with Dr, (i. D. Robb presiding. "We
should like to say that there is nothing
wrong with America," he said, "but that
is imiiossible to say when one faces the
un]ileiisant facts, and undesirable when
one realizes the gravity of the danger
America faces. The fundamental thing
wrong is the breakdown of the American home, which has substituted "Let's
Go!" for "There's No Place Like
Home."
There will be no improvement, he believes, unless somehow we can renovate
the faniil.v altar. There can be no substitute for religious training in a Christian home if we are to have Christian
citizenship. Wealth without work or responsibility, politics without principle,
pleasure without conscience, edueation
without character, science without huiiiiiiiitj', business without morality, religion without sacrifice or worship; that
is typically American, he asserted; and
in them lie the seeds of personal and
natiouiil degeneration, degredation, ruin.
Informal Reception
The Normal School held an informal
reception to its visitors in the gyniniisium following the general session. An
eight-piece orchestra provided music for
dancing. Refreshments were served in
a large booth partitioned off from the
dancing floor. Autumn leaves and other
fall suggestions were used in a simple
yet effeetive scheme of decorations.
Dr. Haas and President Dickey Absent

The raising of standards of

the legislature, and that will be fair
both to teachers iind to school boards,
and continued strengthening of the retirement s.vstem. The tenure question
was the one to wliich Dr. Kelley gave
major attention, outlining the admitted
evils of the present "hire and fire" system, but indicating the difficulties which
lie in the way of the men who would
draft an e(|uitiilile plan iicceptable to all
concerned.
Dr. Carroll Chiimpliii, formerly of
Californiii State Normal School, who is
Dr. Anderson's successor in the department of education at Penn State,
stressed piirticuliirly the student-iittitude
toward education. There can be no
terminus to the educator's endeavor to
know his own business, he maintained.
It is necessary to know the lifework of
early educators to iipprcciate the continuing work of their contribution to
educatioiiiil practice. It is equally necessary to keep abreast of the latest educational movements, in order to know
how progressive educators are .attempting to keep education breast to breast
with advancing social changes. Search
the old to hold fast to all it has of
good, tr.y the new for value and t r y to
improve ujioii it, and, best of all, try to
be original yourself; this wiis the core of
his message to teachers.
Dr. Pierce New President
The flnal session of the preceding afternoon, a business session, put through
much business in a short space of time.
A formal constitution was adopted to
govern the procedure of the Central
District. Dr. W. M. Pierce, superintendent of schools at Ridgway, was elected president of the association for the

TIMES
Building a Name
When you want to read a good story,
you pick up your favorite magazine, and
then you look for the name of an author whom you know writes good stories.
Or if you want to see a good movie,
you like to get one by an siuthor like
Emerson Hough or Curwood, with a good
actor like Tom Mix or Harold Lloyd—
somebody whose name is a guarantee
that it is all you should expect.
If it turned out to be poor, you'd be
awfully disappointed, and you wouldn't
have much faith in that name again. It
would have cheated you. But it isn't
often that you ever get disappointed in
a name that you have come to trust. The
men or women who have built up those
names so that you look for them as a
guarantee know that you do look for
their names, and trust them, and they
have to keep them up to standard. I t
pays them to do so. You wouldn't go to
see a show by an unknown actor, especially, or read a story by somebody
you'd never heard of. Of course you
would, occasionally—and if you liked
it, you would look for the same name
again, iind pretty soon that would be
another name that you eould trust.

freedom from the early Stone Age until
the present day. "The remiirkable t h i n g
about it," said Miss Dixon, "was the organization.
Everj'thing went along
evenly."
She also visited the educiitional building at the exposition and was interested
in the work done by the Philadelphia
school children along Health Education
lines. She also siiw some clever films
on dental hygiene work, which she would
like to bring here to start a campaign
in that work.

Psychology Clinic Opened
With the designation of Central State
Normal School as the state center for
Kindergarten Education by the Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg,
several new courses are being offered to
meet this post-graduate curriculum. One
of these is the "Measurement and Treatment of Exceptional Children," taught
by Miss Merrills.
The course consists of a study of tests
and sciiles now standardized for measuring the abilities of children from
four to eight years of age. The charter members of this course aro Vivian
Eberhart, Helen Marr, Mary Myers,
Ursula Ryan and Helen Swartz. These
students will administer all typical tests
to the kindergarten group. Careful consideration will be given in order to ascertain early these exceptional children
and to give each special and suitable
care.

Then, because other people knew and
trusted that name, they'd go to that
show, or buy that magazine—and that
man's name has become a thing of real
value. But if he fell down once—no one
would trust him again. That's the way
it is with building a name and a repuA psychology clinic has been fitted up,

classes she was invited to join a class of
teachers who were studying the square

the square dance is the first of its kind

Later in the summer. Miss Dixon visited the Sesqui-Centenuial Exposition
where she saw an immense pageant in
which several thousand people took part.
Three stages were used and the floor of
the stadium was utilized for such things
as chariot races, etc.

traced the development of the idea of

mitories to the central building. Halls
will connect the first and second floors
with the main floor and with the balcony of the gymnasium, and staircases
will lead from all floors of both buildings to a ground-floor exit.
Several improved conditions will result from this addition to Normal's
plant. The gymnasium will be emptied
in less than half the time formerly necessary after a game. Girls coming from
gym classes will not have to pass through
the open air in reaching the dormitory.
There will be no exposure to unpleasant
weather.

NORMAL
Gym Program Is Full One
Athletics for girls iit t'eutral State
Normiil School have received an added
stimulus this year. Under the present
system the Seniors participate in hockey
during every cliiss period, while the
Juniors will have one period a week.
After Thanksgiving the Seniors will start
basketball and the Juniors will begin
volley ball. The Juniors will take up
basketball after Christmas.
By this
method every girl will take part in
some athletic game. The result will
mean more available material, greater
competition, and more general interest
manifested in the various games to be
held throughout the year.
At present the Juniors who have
passed the heiirt test given by Miss
Dixon are learning the rudiments and
rules of hockey in practice held outside

iin enthusiastic bunch of girls are reporting each afternoon when practice is
held. During one period a week the
Junior classes are priicticiug marching
in the auditorium. This is being done
to improve the inarching from chapel.
Posture tests have been given the
Seniors. Corrective work this year will
be taken care of during the regular class
period instead of outside class, as it
was last year. After the Juniors have
had their posture tests, their classes will
be the same as the Seniors.
I n connection with Junior Health Education classes, hygiene is being taught.
The girls are keeping scrapbooks along
with their notebooks. Anything of interest, such as quotations, picture, newsliaper clippings, etc., are used. Later
they will make charts, emphasizing

Ten o'clock! Jerry bad just reiid her

knock sounded at the door and Sal entered with the iinnouncement that the
Dean wished to see J e r r y .
"At this hour! Betty think! W h a t

Jerry spread out a crumpled telegram
on her knee, and Betty read it over her

"William died of an overdose of

"Thomas," explained Jerry, "is my

lived,"

"But why in the world did he telegraph ' " queried Betty.

Jerry Stars in Psychology
Jerry's knowledge of Psychology was
not based entirely on the text, nevertheless her reputation in class was good.
She gained this reputation early in the
course. Professor Miirtin was lecturing
on the subject of sensation. He remarked that a person experiences all
sensiitions during the flrst few months
of infanc.y and that in after life there is
no such thing as a new sens.ation. Jerry
piped up, "Professor Martin, did you
ever shoot the chutes?"
The ice was broken and the class felt
at home. Thereafter Jerry was looked
upon as having a deeper insight into
Psychology than the others in the class.

Library Course Given to Juniors
The Ijibrary course is not a new thing
to students of C. S. N. S. However, the
course is being enlarged upon by the
new teacher. Miss MacDonald,. who is
the school librarian.
Miss Irene MacDonald received her elementary education in Portland, Maine,
getting her M. A. degree iit Teachers'
College, Columbia University. She took
library work at Simmons College. Miss
MacDonald taught at Foxcroft Academy,
and has been librarian at Brockton,
Massachusetts.
The object of giving a library course
to students of Lock Hiiven is to familiarize them with the resources and reference tools of the library, to en.able them
to handle their school work more intelligently and quickly.
The course aims to give the students
a working and teaching knowledge of
the necessary facilities such iis the card
catalog, encj'clopedias, dictionaries, indexes, year books, government documents, inagazines, iind special reference
books. I t also iiinis to instruct them
in the use, care and proper selection of
books.

Church Receptions Given to
Students
On October flrst, three of t h e leading
churches of the city gave receptions to
the students of C. 8. N. S.
Sixty-three young people gntliered at
the Presbyterian church for t h e games,
music iind refreshments which the church
provided. The party began with the
singing of peppy, popular songs, led by
Mr. Fredericks, Miss Ainmou and Reverend Parkhill sang a duet to the delight of their audience. This number
had not been planned for, b u t from all
reports it went over bigger than anything else.
There was certainly no ice to be broken at the Methodist church. Guessing
whether one was ii lizard or a giraffe,
and depending upon the rest of the comjiany to tell, was far from being solemn
and formal. After several exciting circle games the seventy-five Normal students pulled their chairs together and
joined in all kinds of songs, both old
and new. Then followed delicious refreshments, more singing a n d finally
"Good-Night Ladies."
A Backward Sociiil was the drawing
card for eight girls of the Reformed
church. Everything was done backward,
even to the way clothing Wiis worn. A
backw.ard spelling bee afforded a great
deal of amusement. After the serving
of refreshments the party broke up.
The I/utherau church
entertained
forty-three girls and fellows at a social
on September twenty-fourth. Speeches
by Bev. Steiii and Jlr. Shaffer, games,
songs and eats fllled out iin interesting program. Cars were sent for the
girls, and at the close of the evening,
returned them safely to the school.

Juniors Choose Representatives
The Junior Class met on September
21, 1926, for the purpose of electing its
representatives to the Student Council.
As a result of this ineeting, Julia Gibbons iind Agnes Gallagher have assumed
their councilor duties. They were presented to the girls and Mr. Armstrong
at the girls' meeting on Tuesday, September 28.
The duties of the council members are
to see that the rules and by-laws of the
school are carried out and to ;iid in the
discipline and routine of the school.
The entire council consists of the following girls: Eose Bower, President;
Esther Suavely, Vice President; Anna
