Rule paid tribute to the Superintenden t of Public Instruction , Dr . Keith, who was unable to be present at the dedicatory program. Dr. Rule rapid'y sket ched the history of the Teachers Colleges of Pennsylvania, pointing out three majo r trends in the later development of these colleges; first, teaching is no longer the last resort and refuge of failures in other lines of work; second, the preparation of teachers is a State function to be delegated only to its own institu tions; t hird , the Teachers Colleges are the growing point of our State system of public schools and must be developed to meet effectively the development of our public schools.

HUNDREDS 'OLD GRADS' WELCOMED HOME Dedication , Dance and Football Game Pro vides Busy Day For Students. The campus buildings and the business section of Sloomsburg were in gala dress Saturday in observance of the annual Home Coming Day. The Maroon and Gold of Bloomsburg and the Red and Blue of the visiting athletic rivals, Shippensburg, were much in evidence. Boulevard Ji ght standards on Main Street and trees on East Stree t were . used to place the decorations in the business section. A large welcome sign was placed at the entrance to the College and signs with the message, "Wei- ' come Parents—Alumni" were on Waller Hall. The program throughout was one to delight alumni, with the team winning the football game from Shippensburg 13 to 0, and the cross country run by the decisive score of 16 to 39. Bloomsburg having five runners in the first six to finish. The dedication of the new Training School , to be known as the Benjamin Franklin Training School, opened the day 's program, with the dedicatory addr ess by Dr. James N.

When our marks are given out at the end of a six week p eriod , we no t ice many a student with a frown on his or her face. We can-all help to make others happy by being, or seeming to be , happy ourselves. We only make our troubles worse by thinking how bad they are. The troubles won 't last long; courage and determination will soon end them. After graduation, when we en t er upon our teaching career, our most valuable asset will be cheerfulness. Many teachers have made a decided success of their work , simply becau se studen ts like to see a happy face, and are glad that they are being taught by an individual who faces life pluckily and cheerfully , with a smile. The gloomy student looks like the losing one. He is a loser ! The moment you begin to look "down on your luck" the world changes its estimate of you—you are considered a failure by your own confession ! Be a "gloom chaser." Smile ! 5 I- *I* THIS THING CALLED SPIRIT Accordin g to a number of student highlights , spiri t on the campus is waning. If cheering is all of college spiri t they are probably right , but when a football team works all night to build a bonfire ; when North Hall nigh t-hawks stay up all night to decorate the town for Home Coming Day ; and when our fair co-eds do as much as they did to make Home Coming Day a success it is difficult to discover where college sph'it is lacking. Many institutions set up spirit defi n i t ions in the form of a code which gives them something definite to work with. These codes are all the finer compilations of campus tradition in each respective institution. Tho articles in this code ai*o inj ected deeply into the members of the Freshman class just as soon as they set their w illf u l , high schoolish feet on the campus. The duties of these early injections fall upon the shoulders of the cheer leaders who organize the Freshman Class into a cheering body at tho first opportunity and teach them the cheers and songs of the college. They are supporte d by tho upper classmen who make it their duty to have tho Freshmen at the cheering practice. As for the cheering hero , (which seems to bo the biggest leak in college spirit), we only havo ourselves Augustus Thomas ' Famous Play Will be P resented With the Aid of the Dramatic Frater nity. "The Copperhead ," a four act play, tells of an old man , living most of the time alone , and who for the last forty years of his life had been a social ou tcast among his royal neighbors because he was supposed to have sympathized with the South during t he Civil War , whereas his neighbors in this Northern district were fighting for the Federal Union.

Up until the last few weeks we had no cheer leaders; no one was interested and no one thought about it. As for tho rest of the college spirit , there should bo no complaint from anyone. It springs forth in the form of co-operation on every sido and in every activity. Thoroforo wo cannot entirely ngrc c with tho speeches made in chapel , oxcopt tho one Friday night from which tho rost woro copied. Excellent weather and a fine sense of cooperation on the part of faculty and students made Home Coming Day a memorable occasion. That ?s the one day in all the year when we try our best to furnish alumni, paren t s, and friends a chance t o look us i over. That is the day when we want to pu t our best foct forward. And so for weeks we had been preparing for it. Crepe paper twisted and pulled to represent various geometric figures adorned Waller Hall , Carver Hall, North Hall and the athletic field. Freshmen boys led by Al-ex Shepela worked diligently to paint the town of Bloomsburg with B. S. T. C. and S. S. T. C. colors. The gym decorations were exceptionally artistic, being made to represent a red and blue, maroon and gold foo tball field. Even the stalwart football heroes were there to reflect our victory. Throughout the morning there was the general buzz of greeting. Old and new face s blended to make a compact mob in the first floor lobby. The Alumni Trophy Room , a new accomplishment, received many visitors who expressed their wonder and deligh t at the glorifie d room N. It was noted that many alumni from the Class of '29 were here. In the forenoon was dedicate d the new Training School. Dr. Keith was unable to speak, and his posi tion was ably filled by Dr. Rule. Lunch time found many guests outside the dining room doors. Doors were open from 11:30 to 1:30, making possible efficie nt service . Some of our alu m ni , Raymond Hodges, Marj ory Orr , Robert Dew , Earl Farley and Al Kalwei t assisted during rush hours. Bob had the united job of policeman , traffic officer , u sher and bus-boy. At 2:00 o clock in the afternoon Mt. Olympu s becam-e alive with the crowd. Flying banners, waving ribbons and the vari-colored attire made the bleachers a picture for the moving picture camera. Needless to say our boys played a peppy ga me. Furt hermore , they had the support of the student body. Final score was 13-0 in our favor. After the game guests attended the tea in the gym. We hesitate to call it the gym because of the transformation. And then a bigger mob besieged the doors at dinner. As at lunch time the new system worked effiWhite coats and white ciently. smocks rushed from kitchen to table to satisfy the mob. The evening was crowded with events. Dancing to the music made by the Maroon and Gold Orchestra used every available inch in the gym. Sidelines were as ja mmed as the floor space. At 11 :.')0 the dance ended when many alumni retired to Waller nnd North Hulls where they spent the night. Wo would liko to name every individual who helped to mako Homo Coming Day a success ! Our best advice would be to look over the names of nil students nnd faculty mombors in the Business Ofllco. Dr. Haas said that in searching for a name for the new Training School building, sugge stions had been asked for from the faculty and other sources. He said an attempt was made to selec t a nam e, keeping in mind primarily the children. They had desired a name not only identified with childhood bu t one tha t would strike ^ the imagination in every field of learning. The name of Franklin , most generally suggested, was a name of tha t kind , as Franklin has contributed so much to so many phases of human endeavor. Dr. Haas called attention to the inscription over one of the doors of the n ew building which is taken from Franklin 's writings, "Education is the foundation of happiness." ONE OF THE STUDENT COMMITTEES GETS BUSY The Dining Room Committee which is organized under the Student Goun^ cil has been doing many interesting things this year. Their program was opened with the introduction of a new system of seating in the dining room. The responses from every side have been favorable and the new system is to be commended. A series of parties has also been planned. The first two of them have been great successes and the only remarks heard were "When's the ne x t one?" The next one will most likely be November 21—but more will be heard abou t tha t la ter . The committee is also responsible for dining room decorations and did a fine piece of work for Home Coming Day. DR. JAMES N. RULE DELIVERS ADDRESS Con tinued From Page One short time until four years of college training will be required by all who teach in the State. He also pointed ou t that a surplus of teachers is not to be Viewed with alarm but rather as a healthful sign of the eliminating of the unfit. There are three major factors involved in a good Teachers College, Dr. Rule said : 1. A professional program to keep the college in touch with current theory and program. 2. A competent staff of teachers. 3. A good physical plant and equipment. Dr. Rule concluded his address as follows: "In the dedication of this new unit in this college to be known as the Bonjamin Franklin Training School, the State recognizes its obligations to make this and all the other State Teachers Colleges increasingly more useful and efficient in their service to the public schools of tho Commonwealth. Under the leadership of so distinguished and able an educator as your president , tho future of your college is assured. Under such leadership this college will inevitabl y rise to higher and largor levels of achievement.

HASS ADDRESSES BERWICK HIGH SCHOO L t Last Monday members of our College communi ty furnished the Assembly program for Berwick High School. Dr . Haas addressed the school , opening the Education Week program.

The classical League of the Lehigh Valley will sponsor the program which is dedicate d to the memory of a man whose works are read in almost every civilized nation two thousands years after his birth." We want to put Bloomsburg State Teachers College on the map and we 're going to do it. We had a real Student Government meeting Monday. School Spirit was the thing that was up for discussion and criticism. Henry Warman opened the discussion by telling us that school spirit lasted all the year, no t j ust at football games. Good for Hank. He 's riding the football taam hard this year bu t he is not so lop-sided that he can 't see anything else. Mr. Zimolzak voiced his opinion that we could no t have school spirit until we all go t in on it and realized what it was all abou t. School spirit can 't be pu t on the outside by a loader ; it mus t be felt. Ivor R obbi n s, edi tor of "Maroon and Goi'd," told us that other schools were having the same trouble—lack of school spirit.

Bragg, local librarian. Entrance to the library has been limi ted to one door, in front of which is a charging table. At the same time the person at the charging tab!e also has the j ob of seeing that no books are taken from the library unless they are offiically accounted for. By this system Miss Braggs hopes to diminish the number of books lost yearly." — DEDICATION OF THE NEW TRAINING SCHOOL i —. FRESHMEN EARLY BIRDS The Town Decora t ion Commi tt ee, composed of the Freshmen boarding students and headed by Alex Shapela, func tioned very efficiently. The "Frosh" were aw aken ed from their slumbers by "Joe " Yacobonis abou t 4:30 A . M. Saturday and in fifteen minu tes all were in the lobby ready to begin opera tions. The committee was divided into three parts. Morris DeHaven, John Carr and Joseph Gribbin headed the groups. At the command of Mr. Shapela the Freshmen advanced to the town where they began working diligently, and by seven o 'clock most of the main street was decorated. Af ter breakfast they returned to their places and finished their work. This is evidence that the Freshmen went wholeheartedly into making Home Coming Day a great success. The decorations were taken down by the Freshmen Saturday evening. "The Keystone " reports outdoor sports in the evening for Kutz town College students. "This privilege has been possible through the helpfulness of the Leaders Clubs and the Supervision of Miss Stern. Such games as deck tennis, quoits, croquet , obstacl e golf , faba gaba and archery were introduced. This plan has been followed in the belief that this outdoor sport is more beneficial to the students from the standpoint of health and wholesome social contacts than the use of the gymnasium every evening as has been the custom and which will have to be done later on.

The Alumni Memorial and Trophy Room was another place that secured much attention and favorable comment. This room was beautifully furnished by alumni at a cost of $4 ,000. It is located on the first floor of Waller Hall and is an achievement in which graduates of the school can be j ustly proud. It is doub tful if a Home-Coming Day ever attracted a larger crowd and certainly there was never a better progra m offered. Students and f aculty worked tirelessly to entertain the guests and they were very successful.
