Prominent Pennsylvania Educa tor \ "The Copp erhead " Senior Class G'wes Address In Auditorium Play to Be Presente d Tonig ht Pa ul Whitme yer Outlines Relation Between Teacher and Public During Assembly Per iod. Paul Whitmeyer , superintendent of schools, Shamokin , brought a message of vital importance to the student body, when he spoke in chapel , December 8, on the topic, "The Relation That Should Exist Between Teachers and the Public. " The State , according to Mr. Whitmeyer, requires certain fundamental obli gations from teachers. First of all, the public demands that teachers have the temper mental, physical, and intellectual qualities that fit them to be effective Leaders of child growth. Another demand important in more ways than one, requires that teachers must have a general love for children. Without sympathy, the teacher is barren. The public also demands that the teachers of its children must know thoroughly the subject matter ^ .^itt'their chdsen fields. ' On the other hand , Mr. Whitmeyer declared , teachers are demanding certain things from the public. Teachers are insisting upon a living salary, one that enables them to live in respectable society and that gives them opportunity for advancement in education and their profession. Continued On Page Four A FAMOUS MAN ONCE SAID : My countr y owes me nothing. It gave me, as it gave every boy and girl , a chance. It gave me schooling, independence of action , opportunity for service and honor. In no other land could a boy from a country village, without inheritance or influential friends, look forward with unbounded hope . My whole life has taught me what America means. I am indebted to my countr y beyond any human power to repay. It conferred upon me the mission to administer America 's respons-e to the appeal of afflicted nations during the war, It has called me into the Cabinets of two Presidents. By these experiences I have observed the burdens and responsibilities of the greatest ofllce in the world. That office touches the happiness of every homo. It deals with the peace of nations. No man could think of It except in terms of solemn consecration. —Herbert Hoover. It is Expected to Surpass All i MAROON ID GOLD MEN'S GLEE GLOB Former Endeavors ; Dramatic Frate rnity Cast.

The Senior class will entertain us ¦tonight with their annual play, "The Copperhead. " The play was written by Augustus Thomas. The fact that the plot is divided into two epics— The Civil War Period and Modern Times, makes it unusually interesting. The name of the play is the term which was used to apply to Northern men who sympathized with the South during the Civil War. It shows "how war-time hatred may be carried over into future generations. Picturesque stage sets and costumes cleverly portray Civil War time—then forty years elapse and modern scenes are linked on to conclude the unique plot.

KNOW WHAT couldn 't some people be informed ' YOU ARE GOING TO DO. 2. DO , that when they buy a ticket for an IT. fac ts is bringing about greater understanding. Such questions as: "Is there anything questionable about the way in which we acquired the Panama Canal Zone?" and "Do you think the right of normal adul ts to vote should ever be limi ted?" are typical. In schools pupils are being directed to make a study of their local community , to take excusions to its activity centers, to carry on library proj ects, to utilize their own home resources , and to study intelligently current topics. To teach a class of this type is more difficult than to hear recitations of dates, so that it is being adopted conservatively. The par ticipation by pupils in civic duties as an extra-curricular activi ty under the guidance of a teacher helps the pupil to realize that he is part of a group and the whole problem is after all one of develop ing largesroup consciousness. Merely to find one 's self a passive member of a group is not enough. A member of a college who does not participate actively in its affairs remains cold , aloof , unsympa thetic. He does not fuse with the group. Col* lege spirit cannot grow in such soil. The principle is of universal application. The man wheis passively a citizen of a nation and of the group, will never attain any vital conscieusness of membership in the group. To resume our example , a college student may develop a large degree of college spirit and yet actually see and in the flesh perform bu t a very small portion of the common action. He may enter in to it all through participating in imagination as he reads the curren t happenings in the college paper. So it is with the individual to the nation and the world. The child enters into the nation 's activiti es through reading whereas he performs bu t a very small part. Yet he is taugh t the economic , social and political significance of his own small uni t in the solidarity, of the whole,. It is every day illustrated to him on a small scale by group projec ts which he helps car ry on. The youngest school child participates in group activities where others have rights equal to his own. He must learn to get along in his surroundings. Th us while we do not introduce to him weighty national and in ternational problems we prepare hi m to meet these by teaching him to mee t situations as they arise. Only by havi ng the child relive the experiences of the nation ; the struggle of the people ; the growth of the institutions , and by having him meet arising problems can we make him a patriotic citizen. In study the child must read from some definite viewpoint or he cannot relive experiences. More and more schools arc allowing him to read from the viewpoint of some other nation so that he can sympathetically understand its action. Just as nationalism tempers the spirit of strife that tends to arise within the nation , so internationalism is tempering the analogous spirit of strife that tends to ariso among membors of the planetary group. It is this nntional and international consciousness that the schools are helping to foster. t NEW BOOKS IN THE LIBRARY Art Bailey and Pool—Sy mbolism For Artists.

GIRLS ' LOCKER ROOM OFFICERS ENTERTAINED Affair Held at the Home of Miss Ethel Ranson. The officers of the Girls ' Locker Room organization were en tertained at tea Thursday afternoon , December 4, by Miss Ranson and Dr. Kehr at the former 's home on Market Street. Delicious refreshments were serv, ed after which the welfare of the organization was seriously discussed. A meeting of all Locker Room girls to be held in the near future was planned. At this time the projects for the year are to be outlined in detail. The organization is just past the infancy stage, and in spite of the fact that it is suffering severely fr om growing- pains, it is planning to take an active part in all school activities, and to carry out individual projects.

GARWOOD TO SPEAK ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON Bicycles are used in some American universities where students are forbidden to have automobiles. Bicycle racks for parking have been provided in these colleges and many students are adopting this means of locomo tion. Manufacturers of bicycles say there has never been such a demand for bicycles since 1910 and they are planning a bicycle show this winter. "What 's In It For Me ?" Will be the Subj ect of His Talk. The Western State Teachers College of Kentucky does not like the appearance of a huge water tank which improved the water works but did not add to the beauty of College Heights. For this reason they are planning to build a memorial tower around the tank and to make it rise many feet above the tank. A circular stairway, leading to the top will permit visitors to enjoy a better view of the surrounding country. A brilliant light at the top is to serve as a beacon for airplanes. Near the top will be ,a carillon that will be heard for many miles. There will be a clock with four electrically lighte d faces. Foun tains and walkways will be placed at the base. What an improvement this will be over the tank that can be seen for miles and fails to harmonize with the artistic balance of the other buildings ! The classes in Contemporary Poetry and Modern Novel will no doubt be interested to know that John Erskine, the noted author, took part in the Bimillinium Anniversary of Virg il at Bethlehem , Pa. The topic of his speech was "Virg il After Two Thousand Years. " He talked to an audience which filled the Packard auditorium. At the end of his speech thunderous applause testified to the popularity of , the speaker and the speech. A blazer has been designed by a custom tailor for the sole use of Steven students.
