Jade and silver, a sparkling I'ountain, peppy orchestru, clever gowns aud beaming faced were evident the night of May 5th. The receiving line was on hand to give the guests a cordial welcome. Then "The Toreadors" did their bit and the dance was on. Everyone took time out to admire the marvelous effect of the jiide and silver decorations, and especially to gaze wouderingly at the sparlcling louutain beneath the canopy. Catherine Cook and her helpers are to hs complimented on the uniqueness of the decorations. The punch bowl was completely hidden between e v e r y dance for there's nothing like good punch to quench that unquenchable thirst. Directly after the sixth dance the specialty, a skillful feat of dancing by Frances Buckley of Williamsport V, as enjoyed. The only u: happy pait ot the dance was its brevity, but those nine dunces were enjoyed to the full. Three cheert;, too, for the program committee. The new college seal made a big hit. The dance ended, the moon lighted the way from the gym to the blue room, a few moments of parting was allowed and r.ow there's left—the memory. Miss Dixon surprised State Teachers College on April 30 with a very interesting account of the Columbia State Teachers College Convention, which took place recently. The convention took as its theme three significant phases of education, "The Contributions oi American Education", ' 'T tl e Short-coming of Education", and ' T h e R..Kpousibilities of Education." Miss Dixon portrayed these in the fol.owing manner. First, leaders oC education from Germany. Mexico, and France were the speakers upon "The Contributions of American Education". They all expressed high respect for the spirit of democracy iu our schools. America has refustd to be content with traditions. The progress ot our American schools has been the result of a democracy, for progiea.i and public education go hand iu hand. "The Sliort-couiings o C Education" was developed by leaders, not in the field of education, but of industry and science. There is still the feeling of unrest and dissatisfaction which before prevailed. Education i.s the largest Industry in the world. Its purpose is to educate students to apply themselves at all times. There ia too much catering to public demand. The main aim of education is to create self-preservation and selfmastery. It is the responsibility of educators to insist upon adherence to all that is finest and best. Thf schools as a whole have not held up these characteristics to a sufficiently high degree. The last topic, "The Responsibilities of Education" may be summed up in the following points; the development of appreciation of the functions of education; the presentation of the philosophy ot life; the educational objectives; a n d t h e training i n activities other than leadership.
