Freshman President States Thanks I should like to express my thanks for the excellent coop­ eration received from the many members of the Freshman Class in making the “Sweetheart” Ball such a grand success. I couldn’t possibly thank each one individually as there were too many, though their contri­ bution may have seemed very small to them, who neverthe­ less made things work so smoothly. Special thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Byrem, who work­ ed especially long and hard. Special thanks also to the num­ erous upperclassmen who help­ ed in decorating, etc. On behalf of the class mem­ bers, I wish to express their ap­ Since a great number of our students are planning to enter preciation for the efforts of the service of teaching, it seems advisable to present the rural their advisors, who did much problem which confronts us today. The majority of our graduates to make the occasion an enjoy­ have entered this side of education; however, at the present, the able one for all. Sincerely, rural schools are really in critical need of qualified teachers. Jack A. Kinney. More than half of the children aged 5 to 17 years in our Tedchers For RurdI Education country live in rural areas. Of that number about 9,000,000 live in the open country. Among the schools for rural children are some of the best in America, but a disproportionate number are of the poorest. The most urgent problem today is to secure qualified teachers for the children of these areas. Even when there was no scarcity of teachers, approximately 60 percent of all the teachers in rural elemehlary schools staffed by one or two teachers had less than two years of training beyond the high-school level. In three-teacher schools, only thirty per­ cent had less than two years of college training.'The situation in rural education was none too favorable, in pre-war days. Since the beginning of the war it has become steadily worse. Rural education has its own distinct problems because the rural environment is largely agricultural. Education should be based upon the environment and experiences of children. Rural teachers need to know, appreciate and love the rural way of life. They should also have all the general and professional education expected of the teacher. They should have special education in rural sociology, economics, in nature study, and, above all, a wide concept of agriculture. They should know how to organize and manage rural educational systems. Their preparation should in­ clude apprentice teaching in rural schools, under competent sup­ ervision. A large part of the beginning teacher's training should have been gained through in-service education, which is largely denied rural teachers. Because of their location, these educators often lack expert supervision, libraries, and access to institutions of higher learning. This is certainly a grave problem as far as teacher development is concerned. A high standard of certification requirements should be de­ manded, and adequate in-service training should be mandatory. Even these requirements are difficult to maintain because too Many Americans are satisfied with the quality of teaching in these schools. A determined public demand (and willingness to pay) for good teaching is the only way of establishing reasonable mini­ mum standards in teacher selection. From the above facts one can readily gather that the rural situation is indeed critical. Something must be done to improve these existing conditions if we are to eradicate illiteracy and to give equality in educational opportunity to all the children of our country especially those of the rural area^. We must take the proper steps to prepare our youngsters for constructive citizen­ ship through the improvement of rural education. —Joseph R. Spence, Jr. (Ed. Note: The above statistical information was compiled by theN. E. A.) * The Pdssing Of A Friend The wave of resentment and indignation which stormed across the campus last week as a result of the death of “George" holds a certain moral significance, it seems to us. When a four-legged Mnimal can walk, uninvited, into a col­ lege building and win the undying affection of its youthful oc­ cupants by simply acting natural he never had the advantage of schooling it is apparent that man still has a measure of that necessary emotional quality we call “heart." If all the persons who once vied with each other for the priv­ ilege of patting George's head are mourned as widely and as sin­ cerely in their turns as George is, they will be counted as excep­ tionally lucky. George gave affection; he received it in return. He gave laughter by sprawling on the floor with his hind-quarters per­ fectly flat and doubtless grinned many times at the fickleness of humanity, 'fhe only unanswered question is whether George showed sufficient harmful tendencies to warrant his being liq­ uidated. In attempting to answer this puzzler. News Editor El Osborne sought out several people who were said to know the story. He turned in several reports which could not be checked because oj the approach of press time. Among the tales: “He (George) snap­ ped at co-eds. He visited Reeder Hall (a breach of college rules — — — — FEBRUARY 26. 1947 ' Females Distort Truth”, Says Masculine Critic By Roving Reporter WALTER MATTSON You can read my name in the by-line at the top of this column. It’s a good Christian name, and it makes me rather upset when someone snaps at it like a piece of fresh steak in the dining room. The question for this time is: “Should we have pets on the campus?” Jean Himrod: “I don’t see why they shouldn’t; other colleges have mascots.” Leroy Peck: “Pets are all right. We ought to have more of them— like blondes and things.’’ William Vafras: “A pet is per­ fectly all right if it doesn’t get out of hand. It’s good for the morale.” William Rhode: “No, I don’t think individual students should have pets; however, mascots could be permissible.” Jim Postlelhwait: “I belive we should have a Scotty for a mascot since Edinboro is Scottish.”' Leland Dorchester: “I believe we should have mascots, but in­ dividual pets can get out of hand.” Virginia Ransom: “I think pets are a swell idea. Dogs------I love em!” Ron Bloch: “Having a pet on the campus is a good idea. It helps the students’ morale. Joe Spence: “Pets are justified on any campus. Here at Edinboro, I believe, the squirrels and chip­ munks give us * something more than ordinary trees do — they tend to liven-up the place. How­ ever, there are extremes as far as pets are concerned — we should realize this as college students. For example, elephants wouldn’t do a bit, considering the housing short­ age. State regulations forbid ani­ mals; so let’s keep on the lawful side of the fence.” Harry Rose: “If we must have pets on the campus, let’s have some that the students can enjoy.” Ted Levi: “A pet is a wonderful satisfaction when you take into consideration that he or she will never deceive you.” In keeping with its ..editorial policy. "The Spectator" is pub­ lishing below those portions of a letter to the editors which, in their judgment, are of interest and value to the majority of the student-body.

Librarian Reveals Rental System By PAT McNARNEY As Francis Bacon once said, “Reading maketh a full man.” Edinboro’s students have the oppor­ tunity to become familiar with the latest works of contemporary authors through the operation of the library rental-collection sys­ tem, it was learned last week in an interview with Miss Mildred Forness, Librarian. When the ESTC library was es­ tablished, no provision was made for the purchase of new books ex­ cept through the state. Because the mechanics of state ordering are so slow, books are often out­ dated by the time they are obtain­ ed. In order to supply students with noteworthy current litera­ ture, a rental collection was start­ ed with books borrowed from the faculty. ^ On an average, six books are added to the rental collection each month. These books—often among the best-sellers—are selected on the basis of their merit and inter­ est to the student-body. When a student borrows a book from the rental shelf, he pays three cents a day, with a minimum of ten cents, for the privilege of using it. After the rental collection of rental fees has paid for a book, it is placed in the general collec­ tion to become a permanent part of the college library. (Note: “The Spectator” stated erroneously in its last edition that “So Well Remembered,” by James Hilton, had been in the library only a short time. Actually, the book was placed on the rental-collection shelf soon after being pub­ lished, although it was not listed in the card catalogue.) Photo Club To Give Demonstration Have you ever wanted to take indoor pictures at night with your own camera? Well, now is your chance to learn how it is done. The Photography Club is going to hold demonstrations, open to the school, in the Auditorium next Monday night, March 3, at 7 P. M. All you have to do is bring your camera, a roll of fast film, and a boy or girl friend of whom you would like a picture. It is important that you bring fast film, such as Super XX. Then the club will demonstrate the correct way to take pictures at night with an, ordinary camera. This little bit of knowledge will be very valuable at that next house party you are planning; so be sure to attend this worthwhile demonstration. At the last meeting the club con­ tinued taking portraits Hollywood style, and the finished pictures have been very satisfactory.

That “night” will forever give rise to fond recollections for Betty because it was then that Allen Lake asked the sixty-four dollar question and received the right answer. Betty received a beau­ tiful engagement ring.

In the second quarter it was a different story, as the Raiders completely out­ played and out-scored Indiana by 20-9, resulting in a 30-19 score at halftime. Flooring a new team, Indiana took command in the second-half. The Edinboro offense was almost completely checked as the Indianaites took over the lead at three-quarter time by scoring twenty-three points to the locals’ nine. In the fourth period In­ diana’s attack continued at a fast pace. High scorer for the game was Stillson of Indiana, who collected sixteen markers.

Deane The Prentice Shop By LOU PLOCH For the second time this season, the mermen representing the Uni­ versity of Pittsburgh defeated the Edinboro swimming team. The local swimmers were swamped 56-19 by Pitt in their home pool on February 15. Pitt received a jolt in the open­ ing event of the meet, the 300-yd. medley relay, as the Edinboro team of Lindburg, Schlindwein, and Abbott took the honors in 3:21:8. The other first place won by the Red and White was the 200yard breast stroke, which was credited to Edinboro’s Schlind­ wein. The diving was a close contest between Bill Cochran of Pitt and versatile Mickey Schlindwein. Cochran won the honors, 188-172. Swimming in his first meet, Schildmacher of Edinboro picked up a point for the locals by plac­ ing third in the 60-yard free-style race. Hard working John Brukner had his efforts rewarded with third place in the 150-yard backstroke event.

Note: After the above story was written, it was learned that Dr. LaFollette's injury was more serious than was at first supposed. In some manner, he ruptured a tendon in his ankle and will not be able to walk upon the member for some time to come. The fresh­ men have expressed regret at this mishap, which occurred in a game played for the benefit of the Freshman Class. N.

The game, which was played at St. Benedict’s High School in Cleveland, home floor of the Ohioans, was a close battle all the way. The Red Raid­ ers held a 12 point lead early in the third priod, but it was shat­ tered by a very aggressive Fenn team in the Saturday night fray. Big “Bubbles” Lloyd paced the Red arid White with his deadly ac­ curacy to accumulate 12 points for the winners. John Lipchik was close behind to be second high with 11 markers. Jones and Pahm led the Fenn team with seven points each. Fenn jumped to an early 4-0 lead, but Lipchik dumped five fouls and Art Strand one to give Edinboro a 6-4 lead after one quarter of play. The State Teach­ ers then out-scored their Ohio neighbors 11 to 3 to hold a 17-7 lead at half time. The third quarter was closely fought,' but the Red Raiders managed to hold on to the lead, coming out ahead 32-21 at the close of the third stanza. Fenn came back strong in the final per­ iod and threatened in the dying minutes, but a determined Edin­ boro quintet held out to win their last road game, 40-27.
