The program given in the Auditorium by Miss Maupin 's history class was of excellent quality. It was not a long drawn out digcourse of LincohVs life but brought out his greatest achievements without delving into detail. The following program was given : America—School.

The student body received this program with great appreciation. BEAT WYOMING HOW LONG SHOULD TEACHERS WORK? As future teachers the students of :his institution are interested in the question of how many hours a day a teacher should work. Some teachers say that they will not work more than eight hours a day . Their main argument is that people in other positions have only eight hours of work. Why should teachers have to work longer? The question, is: Can a teacher conscientiously fulfill his part of the contract in eigh t hours? In considering this question we should keep in mind individual diff erences and individual abilities. Some teachers can do more work in six hours than others can do in twelve. Some teachers can do their best for about eight hours , but if forced to work longer they lose interest in their work. We know that a disinterested teacher can accomplish little. Another point to be considered is the use the teacher makes of his leisure. The teacher should not try to hold down another job or keep house. The period of leisure should be spent mainly in recreation. ' Another thing to be taken account of is the subj ect that the teacher is teaching, It is a well known fact that it requires more time to present effectively some subjects than others. From th ese observat ions we would conclude that no hard and fast rule can bo m.xclo as to how many hours a teacher should spend on his work. —Selected. Yccabonis was the Joffre who marshalled the quintet of this State Teachers' College when they were on the verge of defeat and led them to a 26 to 25 victory over Dickinson Seminary here tonight. It was the fifth consecutive victory of the visitors and their eighth triumph in eleven games and it was gained because Yocabonis in two minutes scored six points to put his team ahead and then for another two minutes helped his mate's "kill" the ball until the game ended. Bloomsburg was not at its best tonight and a hard battling Dickinson team did some pretty work in the second half to gain a commanding lead. Then Yocabonis and Fischer were inj ected into the Bloomsburg line-up and while the former caged enough points 'o sain victory the latter aided in tightening the defense and keeping Dickinson from adding to its total. Bloomsburg got off to an early lead and held it during most of the first half. They had an 18 to 14 advantage at half time. It was in the second half that Dickinson settled down to business and by a clever passing attack at the start of the third period demoralized the Bloomsburg defense and scored eight points to take an 18 to 14 lead before Bloomsburg resumed scoring. Dickinson held this lead most of the half and apparently had the game tucked away in the victory column when Yocabonis put new life in the Maroon and Gold team and led them to victory. The game was marked by comparatively little fouling . Both teams however , made the best of the shots they had from the foul line, Dickinson making five of six chances good whil9 Bloomsburg caged 8 out of 11. Wadas and Captain McGrath played fine basketball for Bloomsburg while Kolb, Dickinson's fast going guard , rang up four baskets to lead his team. JUNIOR VARSITY DOWNS BERWICK A. C. Maintaining the point a minute rate that has featured the past five games in which they played, the Bloomsburg Teachers' College Junior Varsity five Saturday night on the College floor defeated the Berwick A. C. 48 to 22. The Junior Varsity got off to an early start and were in front 17 to 4 at the end of the first period. They were unable to increase their lead in the second period but continued widening the margin In the second half.
