JUNIOR HIGH SCHOO L ACTIVITIES Members of the Junior High School are planning to launch a Clean Up Campaign in tin near future. They ask the cooperation of the other members of the Normal School in their attempt to keep the campus and halls free from waste paper. Ktvdents of the Junior High School have drafted a City Charter which has met with the approval of their teachers The form of government provided f:ir in the Charter is similar to that now used in the most modern cities. The Charter will soon he subjec ted to th e vote of the Junior High School citizens. The Juni or High School Home Arts Club is active. It has been said that the twelve boy members are especially interested in the construction and consumption of pies. If yon are interested- in scale drawing's don't fail to see those made by the 7A2 Mathematics Class. They have made excellent drawings of the Junior High School to the scale of one inch to eight feet.

Mr. Wyer is identified with the Smithsonian Institution of Washington, D. C. and is employed by the federal government as a consulting engineer. He told some startling, as well as some very interesting, facts concerning this subj ect, illustrating his talk with charts, pictures and drawings. A few of the interesting things which he told us were, that through the energy derived from burning fuel, each family in the United States has an equivalent of 120 gerotntg, on the average. Tho greatest industrial changes have come during the last eighty; years, and the sum total of these changes is very much greater than those in all the pre ceding years in history. The home has not advanced as much as the indus trial work, since it is about fifty yer rs behind. If all the miners in the world stopped working we would be cast into intense confusion and agony , so great is our dependence upon the coal which they mine. He also explained and illustrated how we can obtain still more power and energy from the supply of coal, gas and water which we have ot our command. During the chapel period on Friday we had the pleasure of seeing and hearing Dr. Fisher, who was principal of this institution the three years preceding this one, and who is now principal of Bellingham State Normal School in Washington state He came as far east as Chicago to attend a convention of normal school principals and school superintendents held there, and is now touring parts of the United States and Canada to visit the foremost normal schools of these countries. We indeed feel honored that he rates Bloomsburg as one of the best in the United States, and that He has high hopes for her future. Dr. Fisher entertanied us by telling of the country in which he is now milking his home nnd the normal school of which lie is tho head. If his plans ar e carried out, we are sure that he will make It indeed a very wonderful institution. Pie also brough t us greetings from Bellingham, and invited us to come out nnd visit him. The teas arc proving a great success, as can be seen by the large attendance and tho Interest shown. On Thursday lnst the D's nnd E's wero enterta ined on Thursday all tho F's and G's.

Bloomsbiirg, Po\ FOR WARD Tim e and time again we ha ve heard from tho lips of our Principal and others, of tho progress that is being made by the Bloomsburg State Normal School. We have seon the '"Civic Lea gue" in stalled in the Junior High School for the purpose of .self government in that department. We are aware of the "honor system" that is being intr oduced among the girls of this institution. Furthremore , we know that the girls are conducting a plan of self government. We might mention many other tilings to show the progressive spirit that has, and does at the present t ime prevail in the Bloomsburg State Norm al School. But this is not necessary. Surely enough has been said to convince th o men students of this institut ion of our laxity of progressive spirit and initiative will regard to mutters concerning ourselves. Surely we cannot hut feel behind the times when we know that of the six leading Normal Schools in the State of Pennsylvania Bloomsburg is the only one in which the men stuents do not have student government Are we to conclude that our capacities for governing ourselves are inferior to those possessed by the students of other institutions? Furthermore , are we to consider our qualities of leadership «is inferior to, or of a lower grade th an those of the women students of the institution V If we do, then we certainly are trainiug for the wrong profession, for we are expected to go out into the world as teachers and leaders of communities. How can we expect to lead others if we are not capable of governing ourselves while we are here? But this is not the case. If we are to believe the remarks of men aii'l women, engaged in cducationiil work who have visited our school , we must conclude that the students of this school possess the qualities of leadership necessary for character buildin g . Again , if we are to acquire methods of leading and guiding others, what better trainin g can we receive tha n that of guiding and governing ourselves while we are here ? When some people hear th e words ''Student Government, " they are inclined to think of ft as a government by the students entered upon for the purpose of obtaining privileges. If this were its only function it. may not he conducive to proper school work and some would not reap the full benefits th«t can be had from their training. This is the wrong impression. A Student government Is a government of the students , by the students, for the students ; it is a banding together of the students for the purpo se of adopting, and enforcing, rules and regulations which shall be bot h beneficial and helpful to them in their quest for education ; it: is placing directly upon each student , the responsibility of self government , and of conducting himself in a manner that Is in harmony with the ideals of a good citizen, What better plan can be; found to grudo a man In citizenship thnn to see how he can govern himself? What bettor way of findin g his attitude toward "civic responsibility , " and "dependability, " thnn to observe how a man can accept tho responsibility of governing himself? I believe enough has boon said to show why wo should have Student government In our dormitory. The next question Is , how onn we establ ish Student government In this domitory ? I would suggest this plan : First, obtain permission from our Principa l to cull a mootin g of all men students living In tho dormitory . Let thorn approve the rules now In force In the buil ding, adopt Onntlnund on Pu go ft "When you think of SHOES; think of BUCKALEWS', Bloomsbur g, Pa.

Then submit them to our Principal for approve 1. Have him and a connniUcc of students set « fixed punishment for the viol ation of each rule. When this is done, you have established a bnsis for srJf-govcnuneni. The nex t step would be for the students to elect a council of throe j uniors, three seniors , which council shall be presided over by a senior , who shall be approved by the Principal , and whose dutyi it will be to enforce the laws that have been adopted by the students themselves. In this manner , when a student is guilty of a violation of a rule, sentence automatic ally takes place. .Surely the fairness of this plan cannot be questioned by the students inasmuch as the council when pronouncing a sentence would only be enforcing the rules of the students themselves have formed and adopted. It also places the stud ents on their honor to respect and enforce those law.* I believe that sell!government would increase cooperation between the students and the faculty . Tim problems of self-government would increase our initiative, and in the end will have developed in us those characteristics of "civic responsibility " :ind "depend ability " that are expected of us. Tins article was not written because of any dislike of the present form of government in our dormitory. Neither is it a biased opinion of a few, but is the attitude of practically every student on fourth floor. In general we are satisfied with our dorm life , our officials , and our rules and regulations. But we do feel th-it w ecan achieve greater possibilities if . we are allowed to govern ourselves as we have been doing in this democratic nation. We believe that the lack of self-government here deprives us of the opportunity of practicing civic responsibility and developing the qualities of leadership.' The time is ripe to introduce Student government in the boy 's dormitory. We would like to hea r the views of our Principal, Dr. Hfemer. on this subject. J . E.
