GOOD SENSE AND SUCCESS.
Men and women fail ;^not because they are without means or opportunity, but for lack of good
judgment. Other men and women succeed at the same occupation and under the same circumstances.
The difference between these two classes of people is a difference in that commodity often called good
sense.
Judgment, wisdom, good sense, common sense, and understanding; these are the Various
names for it.

GET

IT.

"Wisdom is the principal thing therefore, get wisdom, and with all thy gettings, get understanding.’'
"He that getteth wisdom, loveth his own soul.”
"How much better is it to get wisdom than gold.”
You doubtless recognize the foregoing quotations as old friends, but have you eVer applied them
to your own ca.se ? That’s what they are for.
They have come down to us through twenty-eight centuries, and on the way have helped thousands to succeed.
;

HOW TO GET

IT,

You have

observed, doubtless, that those who have the best trained minds, coupled with the
noblest characters, are the persons who win, in these days of competition.
How to best cultivate their minds and build their characters, is the great problem that every young
man and woman has to solve.
Time, means, location, occupation, family, aim all these enter as conditions into the problem
How to do it with economy, that’s the question. Omit a single condition and a faulty solution is the
result.
faulty solution means disaster.

An Opportunity

to secure a Scholarship

>at

a leading

The trustees of the State Normal School, of Bloomshurg, Pa., have decided to invite all persons
interested in securing for themseh'es or others the educational advantages of that institution, to compete for a PRIZE in the preparation of an advertisement. Unlimited care and pains have for more th.an
a quarter of a century been devoted to building, equipping, improving, and perfecting the various deTo the THREE adverpartments of the school, which, now justly enjoys a national reputation
tisements that shall best e.xpress and make known to the public the advantages resulting from all thi.s,
will be awarded PRIZES according to the following conditions:

FIRST PRIZE.
the person who shall write and have printed in a conspicuous position in any periodical published in Pennsylvania, having a bona fide circulation among paying subscribers, the best advertisement of the Bloomsburg Literary Institute and State Normal School, there shall be awarded a scholarship
which shall cover the cost of board, tuition, and all strictly school expenses, for, one year. These expenses include washing, light, heat, furnished room, and tuition in any department of the school, including the Manual Training Department and the Department of Physical Culture, but excepting the
tiepartment of Music.

To

SECOND

PRIZE.

To

the person wha«e advertisement shall rank second in excellence, a scholarship shall be awarded
Which shall cover the cost of board, tuition and expenses as above stated, for one year, in the Department
of Music only.

THIRD PRIZE.
To

the person whose advertisement shall rank third in excellence, a scholarship shall be awarded
which shall cov^er all expenses in any department of the school for one term.

NOTE THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS:

The advertisement

shall occupy a conspicuous space in the paper in which it is published, worth
at schedule rates, at least Five Dollars.
2.
It shall be an advertisement calculated to set forth the superior educational and other advantages afforded at the school, and to influence young people to become students therein.
It shall appear once.
3.
Any person residing in the state may compete.
4.
Any person may write or publish as many advertisements as he may choose, but no person can be
5.
awarded more than one prize.
6.
Any successful competitor may transfer his prize to another if he does not wish to use it himself.
7.
complete prospectus of the school will be mailed, upon application, to all competitors who need
formation in regard to the school, before writing the advertisement.
8.
As soon as the advertisement of any competitor shall have been published, he will clip it from
the paper and send it to the principal of the school, sealed, together with a letter explaining that he is the
author of it, giving his name and address, and the name and address of the paper from which it has
been clipped. At the same time, under separate cover, he shall mail a copy of the entire periodical con1.

taining the advertisement marked.

Competent judges will be appointed under the direction of the trustees to decide upon the
9.
merits of the advertisement, and the best advertisement received each week will be published in a Bloomsburg paper, and a marked copy of the paper will be mailed to the author. In this way competitors may
be able to judge of the merits of their efforts from week to week, but this weekly decision shall not be
binding upon the judges in making their final decision.
to. In order to induce those who engage in this contest to act promptly, and avoid delay, it has

B. S.

S.

QUARTERLY.

been decirled that the judges shall give favorable consideration, in all cases where merit seems to belong
equally to two or more advertisements, to the one published on the earliest date.
11.
It will be assumed by the judges that the advertisement occupying a space worth five dollars,
in a paper in which space is expensive, stands the same chance of winning a prize, so tar as space is con cerned, as the one occupying a five dollar space in a paper in which space is less expensive.
The best
that can be done in the space afforded, is what will receive consideration.
12.
All trustees, instructors, officers and pupils of the school are prohibited from this competition.
But persons whose advertisements shall be written previou.s to the time when they enter as students
may compete.
The contest shall begin on the date of this circular, and be closed August Is*. 1 896
13.
The result of the competition will be published in the August number of the B. S. N. S. Quarterly, a
14.
copy of which will be mailed to each competitor.
An editorial on the school in any paper, writing up the institution in the news-columns, ora display
advertisement will be considered in the competition.
Many business men whose advertising space is paid for by the year, will doubtless divide their
space now and then to give their sons and daughters a chance at one of these prizes. The rules have
been made very liberal so as to give everybody a chance.

The value

of this book rests upon its reeofjnitioii of the- fact that the English Language is living,
changing, anti growing, and must he stiulied by natural and not arbitnuy methods. Its main
]>ointsare;
i.
The understanding that Anglo-Saxon rather than Jreek or Latin is the basis of
till English Language.
2.
The study of the English Language AS IT IS, omitting terms, rules,
exci ptions. and explanations that have no real existence and are merely arbitrary.
The
3.
introduction of sentence study at the very lieginning. 4. The systematic study of the “Parts of
spooili." with analyses and diagrams.

Conference.
In July last, from the 13th to the 23d, a
Bible Conference, under the management of
the State Y. M. C. A. Secretar\% S. M.
Bard, was held at this Normal School.
The delegates to the Conference came
from all parts of the State, and were accompanied by a number of ladies.
The entire
buildings, including auditorium, cla.ss rooms
and dormitories, were turned over to the
use of the Conference, and everything was
under the State Y. .M. C. A. management.

Mr. Housel, and hisefEcieiit help, managed
the dining room and kitchen accommodations, for which the Conference paid a cerAs was to be expected,
tain sum per head.
Mr. Plousel was, on all sides, highly commended by the guests for the good table .set,
and the other comforts of the house provided. The office was in the hands of Asst.
Slate Sec. Shipp
Sec. Bard was also given
an office on first floor. Throughout the
corridors were seen large cards, which
served as guides to the giu-sts to rooms that
had been set apart for various purposes,
such as correspondence, &c.
The long
porch, the grove, and the campus, were
much enjoyed by the visitors.
Each day’s programme consi.sted of an
