Dean Koch 's Contacts Class Get Real Pointers on Interviewing For Position ; Interviews Seemed Real to Students. John Dewey 's "Leai-ning-by-doing" theory is being put into practice in Dean Koch's Contacts class. In the last unit, which concerned the technique of apply ing for a position , the students were given opportunity to witness, and take part in, personal in^ terviews with a real superin tendent. Dr. C. H. Garwood , Superintendent of the Bloomsburg Schools, gave his time and services for three successive class periods to helping to prepare the prospective teachers for a most important step in their future career. The first two class periods were taken up by personal interviews. The front of the classroom was converted into an "office " and with Dr. Garwood seated at the desk it had the atmosphere of a real office. The students sat in the back of the room "listening in " and "looking in " on what was going on in the office. Eight studen ts, four boys and • four girls, were chosen to interview the superintendent. Each of the students, as his turn came, en t ered the "office " and presen ted himself as an applicant. In the interview which followed the students were given the opportunity to learn what to do when going before a superin tendent to apply for a position. The interviews seemed very real to the students. Di\ Garwood has had many years experie nce in intei-viewing teachers, the results of which were shown by the tact with which he questioned the applicants. The person being interviewed was immediately put at ease and given a fair chance to "sell himself." During the third period the students were free to ask Dr. Garwood any questions that avoso from the interviews. In answer to a question concerning references ho said that you yourself are your best recommendation. You must come prepared to offer yourself in order to save the superintendent time and effort in trying to discover your qualifications. Your personality is a largo factor. Testimonials do not mean much ; it is the personal interviow which counts. In answer to a question concerning salaries he said that the applicant must take the initiative in suggesting the salary. It depends upon the preparation and service which can be rendered. The applicant knows indi- . . teams during his career as athletic coach. Two of the teams were produced at Bloomsburg. In 1928, the team under his guidance earned the right to the mythical title, "Pennsylvania State Teachers College Champions." This year, he put out what he maintains wag the fastest basketball team he .has ever coached. His statement , with those of various players, will be found on page three of this issue. HANSEL AND GRETEL PLEASES On Wednesday, March 11, the children of the intermedia te grades of the Benj amin Franklin Training School entertained the College assembly at chapel with a presentation of the operetta , HANSEL AND GRETEL. The simplifica tion of the production from Humperdinck 's opera gave the children an oppor tunity to display their individuality and ability. Under Mr. Keller 's supervision the children worked ou t their own stage settings and costumes. A most unique Cookie House was designed by June Neiswender , and w orked ou t by Howard Fenste maker , Anna Muirheave and Robert Sonber. During the scene in the woods, sand men cleverly put the children to sleep and angels (from the fourth grade) gave a beautiful pantomime with blue stage lights. There was also a witch' s chorus , and a chorus of the witch's children. Tho remaining students were grouped off the stage in a singing orchestra. The roll of Gretel -was taken by Sarah Hemingway ; Hansel by Billy Hagenbuch ; Father by Leo Connor ; and Mother by Marjo iy Dillon. Tho Head Witch was Martha Force. The training teachers and tho student teachers of tho grades had an active part in tho success of the operetta. Miss Edna Hassen directed the play with Miss Elizabeth Van Buskirk as stage manager. Miss McCammon directed the dancing and Miss Moore, the singing, Mr, Hartman was the accompanist. We can well be proud of tho pupils of tho Training School, and commend them upon their splendid performance. CALENDAR MARCH 20—27 Friday, March 20: Evening. High School Basketball Tournament.

In what proved to be a very interesting and instructive assembly address Friday, March 13, Dr. Thomas E. Winecoff , of the Bureau of Research and Informa tion , Board of Game Commissioners of this State, told the College of the mammoth strides taken by hig department for the conserva t ion and rest ora t ion of wild life in Pennsylvania. Dr. Winecoff defined the province of the Pennsylvania Game Commis-J, sion and by way of reviewing the past success of the department made a brief summary of existing conditions. He stated that in 1930 alone Penn sylvania killed more bear in its brief hun ting season than there are in the state of Wyoming including the Yellowstone Park, and Wyoming boasts of more bears than any other Western state. Tourists who frequen t the national game reserves of the W est are loth t o believe th at Pennsylvania leads the world in abundance of wild life. Forty years ago people stared incredulously at hunters who dared affirm that they had shot two rabbits in one day in this State. Now the hunters are ashamed to admit such pitiful luck. Because of the vigilance of the Game Commission in this State, w ild deer are now so numerous that we are perplexed with a problem arising fr om the damage done by the deer in destroying farm crops. Something must be done , avers Dr. Winecoff. The deer are increasing every year, although 30 ,000 were killed last season. Never before has a project of this kind brought such startling results. The Pennsylvania Game Board , by reason of its efficiency and results, has achieved international fame. Practically every country in the world has applied to our Game Board for advice concerning the propagation and preservation of wild life. Such countries as Russia , France, Belgium, Alaska, and Siberia have benefited immeasurably from our State in this respect. By way of making its findings available for popular use, the Game Commission issues bulletins on current conservation problems. Dr. Winecoff warned the students that in the near future they would be required by state law to teach such facts as are now printed in the Continued On Page Four » : MAROON AND GOLD >*5^ • aj N. •£« h— mi—Illl—mi—tlll ^— lltl—Mil—IIW—MB—HI— ¦Wh ^Mi -«» I j CLASSR OOM CASES ! j ALUMNI NEWS [ f No. 2--CDMPILED BY " BAKE " «J«ti——D u—hi—»nn—*nn—~nn~-~Nn—nn ^— Rti«—ut ^—an—nn~~>ii« Jt , „ _ >•_¦¦ ¦¦ ¦< M ¦« M MARCH 20, 1931 Published weekly during the school year of 1930 and 3931 by the students of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College EXECUTIV E BOARD Ivor L.

PROBLEM NO. 2 MEMBER PENNSYLVANIA SCHOOL PRESS AS SOCIATION «» :; ; i f ! ;p >ii i|i i|i WHAT OTHER COLLEGES ARE DOING S. L. Householder , secretary of the St at e Placemen t Bureau of K ansas, gave several pointers on placement, when in terviewed by students of Kan sas State Teachers College. The first step is to secure from the placemen t bureau a series of blanks which are filled ou t by the prospective teacher. Those people who are given as references are then sent blanks by this bureau , and are asked to rate the applicant as to scholarship, personal appearance, health , social quali ties, attitude toward work , and probable ^teaching success. The references and slips are filed with the pho tograph of the individual in the office of the Bureau. Poin ts which Mr. Householder stressed during the interview were : 1. Photographs are important and they should be the best likeness possible and on good paper. 2. Superin tendents prefer personal interviews. 3. Taking character and education for granted, it is an individual's duty to sell himself to the superintendent. 4. It is essential that the applicant be at least an average student. 5. Willingness and ability to handle extra curricular activities are essential. 6. Being a success as a teacher rests with the individual. Many eminent persons were speakers at Ypsilanti's meeting of Kappa Delta Pi. The annual address was delivered by Dr. William Lyon Phelps of Yale University. Dr. Bagley, who had a part in organizing the first chapter of the fraternity, was present. It was announced that Dorothy Canfield Fisher, novelist, was received into the Laureate Chapter. The dinner was given under the directi on of Miss Florence Stratemeyer , national vice-president, who is now on the faculty of Columbia University. Members of the Laureate Chapter who were there were Dr. William H. Kilpatrick, Dr. Frank Ballou, and Dr. Charles Judd. This week's VIDETTE (paper of Illinois Normal University) contains an interesting editorial under the heading- "WHAT'S WRONG WITH, "I DIED? " One of the pitfalls of academicians is to accept and expound impractical ideas. The classroom is so far from actual expei'ience that it is difficult to distinguish between the possible and impossible. We wish to present an analogy which may help to clarify the difficulty. In conjugating the verb to die in the past tense it is grammatically correct to say, I died. However, in actual life there would be no occasion for such a use of the verb. So, in life what is perfect logically many times upon experimentation fails. Let us attempt to cultivate that subtle j udgment which enables one to distinguish sound thinking from impractical vagaries. A person has gained his education when he realizes that grammar and logic do not rule the world. FOUR SCHOOLS ENTER SEMI-FINAL GAMES Coal Township, Luzernc, Freeland, and Bloomsbi'.rg End Tournament This Week. COAL TOWNSHIP TOPPLES NEWPORT TOWNSHIP, 33-27 In the first game of the tenth annual interschoiastic high school tournamen t at Bloomsburg, Coal Township High School defeated Newpor t after a valiant struggle to overcome Newport 's lead. Newport led at the end of the first quarter 15 to 3 and continued to maintain this lead at half time , the score being 18-10. Coal Township began its scoring machine in the second half and caught up to Newport in the last quarter. With but three minutes to play McClain of Coal Township cinched the game by scoring two long shots. The final score was 33 to. 27 , Griddon and Ruckel were the stars for Newport as were Shovrinski and McClain for Coal Township. •i? •;? -i. LUZERNE 48—DICKSON CITY 30 Dickson City and Luzerne furnished the fan s with plenty of thrills alt houg h they played a slower game than Newport and Coal Township. Lu zern e took the lead in the first quar ter and held it throughout the game. The half-time score was 2114 in favor of Luzerne. Both teams battled on even terms in the third period but Luzerne ran away with the game in the last quarter. Hughes starred for Luzerne with 18 points while Zenty and Kudj eski upheld Dickson City 's honor. Luzerne showed some fine passwork in the last quarter and won the game by the score of 48 to 30. * * * FREELAND 50—HANOVER 36 On Saturday evening, Freeland and Hanover Township exhibited to the spectators some wonderful basketball playing. Hanover snatched" the lead in the first period and looked to be an easy winner. Balasia, Hanover guard , scored three field goals and when the period was over Hanover led 1G-7. Freeland began making things look brighter in the second period by scoring the same number of points as Hanover. The half time score was 25 to 17 in Hanover 's favor. Freoland staged a great comeback and scored from all angles of the floor in the second half. Hanover still led in the third period 30-29 but it was impossible to stop Yuhas and Johnson , Freeland forwards, who played superbly. Yuhas shot a long shot and gave Froeland the lead 3180. From this time on Freeland wont wild and bowled over Hanover with ease in the last quarter. The final score was 50-36. Yuhas, fighting forward , and his toammato Johnson , led the attack for Freeland. Balasla and Lovendowsky starred for Hanover. BDDK REVIEWS "HEAD HUNTERS OF THE AMAZON " a mark. The effects from loss of blood , however, last for several days. The blood ever clings around the actual wound itself. The blood-sucking vampire, contrary to its practice in the case of men, att acks animals while they are awake. I have seen them on t he backs of bo t h horses and cows at night, t o the grea t dis t ress of the poor beasts. The bats seem to know that the superior intelligence of a man is a source of danger. The vampire bat is for me the most repulsive of the innumerable pests of the Amazon country, a thing which has sent a shudder down my back many a time.

If you want to enj oy yourself to the utmost, get this book today , and live wi th the author in that great Amazon j ungle—that land of white alligators, ants , blowguns, monkeys, gold, and head hun ters! By F. W. Up De Graff It is no t given to many of us to wander through the waste places of the earth , and too often the explorer leaves no written record of his experiences. Mr. Up De Graff led an adventurous life in the region drained by the extreme head waters of the Amazon , and he was a keen observer of all that passed on around him. In his book , "Head Hunters of the Amazon " he gives a vivid picture of his life in the j ungles of South America. He says he is not a trained naturalist and the deductions he draws from some of his observations may be questioned by men whose life work is natural history, but this does no t distract from the value of this book. It is a true account of historic adventure. Mr. Up De Graff 's description of some of the animals and insects encountered in his travels is very in teresting. In discussing the vampire bat, which at t acked him no less than twenty-five times, he s t ates , % $ J;; "In general it resembles an ordinary "BLOWING CLEAR" bat , except that it is somewhat larger.

On Saturday The climax of the first round of the toui'nament was the BloomsburgSwoyerville fray . Fighting hard throughout the game both teams played on even terms in the first half. Bloomsburg held a one-point lead at t he h alf , 16 to 15. However, Swoyersville held on to Bloomsburg like a bulldog and tied the score at 16-16 in the early part of the third period. Largely due to the wonderful shooting work of Hazinski and Nesbitt, Swoyorsville took the lead at the end of the third quarter , 21 to 20. Watts, sterling Bloomsburg guard , dropped in two side shots, to give Bloomsburg the lead again. With but two minutes to play Swoyersville tied the score at 24 all; however, Edwards scored a timely basket to give Bloomsburg II.

In a game marked by close guarding, clever passing, and brillian t shooting, Team 12 annexed the final victory by a score of 12-8. Team 3, the opposing force, gave them no little struggle for the victory, although the members of 12 took it calmly and never seemed to doub t their own efficiency. Teams 7 and 2 who played a full six-game schedule and were tie f or second place also showed fine work during the year and deserve much credit.
