evening was a gala affair topped off
by a splendid demonstration of the

The team-work of the College was
not as showy as has been in previous

score eleven field goals to ten for Indiana , the majority of the Western
school 's goals coming from the longshot route.
The visiting team 's center, Joseph
Davis , sprained his a'nkle badly in the
secon d half and had t o be carried off
the floor. An x-ray examination was
taken at the hospital to determine
whether his ankle-bone was fractured.
In the first half of the game the
score ended in a 15 t o 7 lea d for
Bloomsburg. Each team had a fine
defense as the low score indicates.
Largely due to work of Studebacher , lanky forward , Indiana scored all

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY
A man 's work is in danger of degenerating when he thinks he has
found the one best way of doing it.
If he thinks that he is likely to feel
that all he needs is merely to go on
repeating his work. The truth of the
matter is that any victory we may
win is never the one we dreamed of
winning. Life in itself is nothing. It
is the dream that keeps us fighting
and living. Dreams that can be completely realized arc not worth dreaming. The higher the ideal tho more
impossible it is to realize it forceably
but it doesn 't follow since this is
true that wo should dream only of
easily attempted ideals. A man who
holds high ideals may not know the
satisfaction of their full realization
but Mb effort iB his buccossI

REV. SAMUEL HARKER
IKES ADDRESS
Reviews Life of Washington;
Stresses Self-Control , Duty and
Faith ; Address Given at Chapel
Monday Morning.

Washington 's birthday anniversary
was fittingly observed by the College
in chapel Monday morning when Rev.
Samuel H arker , pastor of the Presbyterian church of town, spoke to the
students in regard to the fine character of our first president. The studen ts have come to depend upon Rev.
Harker to lead them annually in paying tribute to Washing-ton.
Starting with the universal truth
that human greatness finds different
expressions in differen t ages, Rev.
Harker reviewed Washington 's life
in the light of this truth, stressing
the quali ties that characterized his
greatness and made him rise to immortal fame—the same qualities that
made David , the shepherd boy, rise
t o the head of his p eople , and the
quali ties that pushed Lincoln, the
b a ckwoodsman , into the adoration of
a stricken people.
There were three character traits
responsible for George Washington 's
greatness : self-control, unswerving
devotion to duty, and faith in God.
It is folly to say that Washington was i
the product of social position, wealth
or power. He was not even a genius.
But he was a man. He had-self control. He had a flaming soul, but a
stronger mind. He never was less
than master of himself .
In commenting on Washington 's
dis cipli n e, Rov. Harker told the students of the pressing need today for
more personal fortitude. Our multiplied advantages carry multiplied responsibilities, Furthermore our personal responsibility is the mark of
moral worth. What we as students
need today is harmony of self-control and liberty,
That Washington was faithful to
duty is the proud boast of every idolizing1 school boy. General Washington was the wealthiest man in the colonies. He owned a beautiful home
along the banks of the Potomac.
Yet whon his country needed him, he
left all and followed the dismal camp
life of a soldier. Later , when the

EXCHANGE SERVICE
In continuing to do everything possible in the service of the College
communi ty the Maroon and Gold
staff has arranged with the librarian
to place a number of tho exchange
papers in the library. These will be
found on a table near the magazine
rack , and it is hoped that they will
receive the same considera t ion t ha t
is given to other library material.
The exchange dep artment is too extensive to have each exchange paper
placed in the library every week.
H o we v er , we hope to have tho dilforen t sect ions of t he U ni t ed St at es
represen ted at all times. If anyone
in the College would like to have a
particular exchange paper appear
every week he may send in his request to tho exchange editor of the
Maroon and Gold.
The continuation of this exchange
service rests wholly with the members of tho College community. If
tho papers and magazines are not
u sed , or if they are removed as soon
as they are placed on the table it is
quite useless for us to place them
there.

A number of the men are taking
advantage of their privilege to use
the gym on Saturday afternoons. The
basketball games during that time
may not be any too scientific , but
they certainly furnish a great amount
of pleasure as well as healthful exercise for the participants. It is hoped
that during the -winter season next
year a system of inter-mural basketball for men will be organized.

Mario Nolson, '30, and Winifred
Follmov, '30, are attending University of Pennsylvania in Philadel phia.

WHAT OTHER COLLEGES ARE DOING
Au thorities of most colleges report
that they have experienced an increase in enrollmen t over last year.
These repor ts seem to show that in
spi te of the talked of depression
there are more persons attending
schools and universities than ever bebore.
The honor poin t system is now in
efl'ect in all the New York State Normal Schools. Under this system for
an A three honor points will be given
for each credi t hour; for a B rating
two honor poin ts will be given, and a
C will receive one. A D merely passes and receives no honor points.
Under this system to be graduated a
student theoretically must have as
many honor poin ts as he has credit
hours which means he must maintain
a C average.
The Y. W. C. A. of Loek Haven
gave an All-Nations program in the
College •Audi torium. Sevei-al of the
women students of foreign descent
cooperated in presenting interesting
bits of information , concerning the

girl gave the Lord's Prayer in Hungarian and another read a passage
of scripture from the Swedish Bible.
The women members of the facul- ,
ty of Bucknell University are organizing a basketball team this year, and
as a member of League B, will compete with the co-eds for the championship . This group will play four
games, exclusive of the semi-finals

The nationally known educational
success of Tuskegee has b een built
upon the pioneer method of trade
teaching in which "learning by doing " has been the practice, and correlation of trade and academic work
has been the rule. When Booker T.
Washington attempted to start a
school for the uplift of his race in the
"Bl ack Belt" of Alabama nearly fifty
years ago he was confronted by conditions that were very trying, but
with his determination to succeed and

staunch friends he was able to overcome the early difficulties.

Bloomsburg 's "Campus Crooners,"
Hank Warman , Bud Letterman and
Bob Parker broadcasted for a half
hour over station WGBI , Scran t on ,
last Monday. They appeared on the .
air during the first half of our chapel
period and much of that time was
spent by the students in eagerly listening to the radio in the auditorium.
The interest in, and the popularity
of the broadcast can be attested by
the fact that the telephone was kept
busy with request numbers and congratulations throughout the entire
program. A North Hall group requested , and received the number
"Three Little Words." Another request that was of interest came from
the Teachers College at West Chester
where the progra m was also on in the
chapel exercises. They wanted the
boys to say hello to them.
The prog-ram put on by the trio
was excellen t, and it is possible that
they will soon broadcast regularly.

THE RURAL LIFE CLUB
DISCUSS VITAL QUESTION

FROM THE ART DEPARTMENT

W. C. T. U. CONTEST
IS ANNOUNCED

Stress Insufficient and Ina dequate
Training; Constructive Work
Needed.

Awards Offered Each Year For the
Best Essay on Educatio nal
Topic.

The regular meeting of the Rural
Life Club was held Thursday afternoon. Miss Smith discussed the quest ion "Why the Rural School Does Not
Meet Modern Needs." The following
points were stressed. The large maj ority of secondary schools are small.
Rural secondary schools have as a
class offered training of a narrow
academic type. This training is insufficient and inadequate.
The problem of efficien t instruction
in the rural secondary school is a
difficult one. It is a problem of teachers, teacher training and experience ,
teacher facili ties in the materials and
equipmen t and supervision. One big
problem is that of time. There are
a large number of pupils to be taught
in a short time. There is a lack of
close effective supervision of instruc*
tion.
Miss Smith named three groups of
pupils whose needs should be provided. They are :
1. Those who Avish an introuction
to a liberal training but who will
not continue their education beyond the secondary school.
2. Those who plan to go to colleg e
or some other institution of higher learning.
3. Those who wish to obtain some
vocational training that will help
them to become producers immediately after their high school
work is completed.
She closed her speech by saying
that we must have scientific students
of education who will study, analyze
and diagnose its deliciencies and possibilities and work constructively for
its improvement.
The meeting was closed by the club
discussing in an informal way the
possibilities of educational pictures in
a rural school.
