Let's all buckle down and see what we can do. The next vacation will be appreciated more if you work hard in between.

Old Car ver Hall Bell Will Rin g Once More Speaking of the end drawing near , you are all in store for a treat. How many of you know that when our Alma Mater was an academy tho students were summoned by a largo bell which hangs in Carver Hall tower? Well , it all happened in Plistory and Philosophy. The class was discussing early education in Pennsylvania and In connection with this Dr. North mentioned the episode of the bell. Tho class was so surprised and interested that it decided to see whether or not it could be arranged to have tho boll rung on Alumni Day. It Js nil arranged now. If you are on the campus on Alumni Day you will hear , for the firs t time in many years, the peals of tho Carver Hall Bell. Now that vacation will soon be at we will all have plenty of leisure time to "read all the books we've been wishing for, bu t never had the time to read." Sigmund Spaeth — "Music Detective" — takes popular music and detects from what great classic it has been taken. "Stories Behind the World's Great Music" tells the story of such famous compositions as Moiart's Requiem. Dog lovers will enjoy the new little book by Brand Whitock entitled Little Lion." Mr. Whitock once ask ed a friend, "Did you ever notice how much Pekinese dogs resemble little lions?" "Little Lion" may be read in an hour or more and will keep the reader interested and amused with its tender biography of one little lion. Some of the other interesting books are: Schuman Heink by Mary Lawton; Madame Curie by Eve Curie, her daughter; Lest Flight, Amelia Earhart; I've Been to London, Temple Bailey ; and The Rains Came, by Louis Bfofnfield. hand, And So Victoria by Vaughn Wilkins Court intrigues, horrors of child labor, disreputable old English kings, romance , adventure—all are found in this outstanding book. Of Queen Victoria there is practically nothing, for the story deals with the events in the life of an idealistic young Englishman which led up to the successful ascension of Victoria to the throne. Christopher Hornish, the unloved son of a scoundrel of French ancestry and a royal princess of pure English blood, has his whole life influenced by the treachery and scheming of some of the royal family of England in preventing Victoria's ascension to the throne. He, despite the Hanoverian blood in his veins, is an idealist of the first water, and will have nothing to do with their diabolic s chemes , for he sees in young Victoria the beginning of a new and finer line of English monarchs. He, hi mself , can build a new life apart from the degredation of his ancestry, but his youthfully high ideals can not, at the time, permit him to understand the attempt of the woman he loves to build something of fineness and stability out of tho wreckage of her life. In his successful attempt to overthrow the plots against Victoria's ascension, he gains this understanding and realizes Margaret Atchill' s true spiritual purity. Personalities Photo by A.

Ade, Superintendent of Public Instruction, said today that the month of April, which is usually marked by Arbor and Bird Day celebrations in Pennsylvania , c l a i ms among its days the birthday anniygrsaries sf fiye famous naturalists and an equal number of anniversaries relating to natural conservation. The two best known naturalists whose birthdays occur in April are John Burroughts, 1837-1921, bo rn April 3; and John James Audubon, 1785-1851, born April 26. Much of the work of Audubon is associated with Pennsylvania, especially in the area of Philadelphia. Other naturalists of note born in this spring month, Dr. Ade said, are Joseph .T. Rothrock, 1839-1922, John Muir 1838-1902, the founder of Arbor D a y . Rothrock, a Pennsylvanian, was the founder of the State Forest School at Mont Alto and of the Pennsylvania Forestry Association. He served for a time as the first commissioner of the Department of Forestry and as botany instructor in the University of Pennsylvania. ur. Aae pointed to at least nve anniversaries of April which are directly related to conservation. April 1 marks the first day of Conservation Week in the United States. April 8 is the tentative date for the observance of Arbor, Bird and Forest Days in southern Pennsylvania and April 22 for northern Pennsylvania. April 17 is the beginning of the celebration of Garden Week. Many April anniversaries also perFrom Other Campi tain to men and events that have figured directly in education.

Frank Van Devender raced 60 yds. in 6.2 seconds to tie the nationallyknown Ben Johnson's Scranton Armory record and help his team mates sweep honors in the annual indoor invitation meet at Scranton Tuesday, April 12. While the time turned in for the 60-yard dash was such that it placed the event in a feature position on the scorer's sheet, Bloomsburg runners participating in the 880, the mile, and the open 8-lap relay set rapid paces in placing firsts in those events. This was especially true of the relay, In which the Husky combination (Mulhern , Karnes, Zelesky and Van Devender) placed first in 2:33.3, well ahead of the second-place St. Thomas team and the third-place C a r b o n d a l e combination, The Bloomsburg "B" team (Horn , Joy, Stover, Kemple) finished in fourth position. In the 880-yard special race Zelesky turned in a remarkable performance for indoor competition with a time of 2:09, while in the 60-yard event in which Van Devender commanded so much attention Mulhern , Horn and Joy finished on the heels of the leader in that order. The spotlight was on Glenn Cunningham in the feature race of the meet, and the flying Kansas miler raced the distance in 4:32.1 to finish ahead of Bloomsburg's Kemple. Olexy of Penn State , nnmber one man for the State College team in the event, followed Kemple in third position, with Hippensteel in fourth. All runners were given a 100-yard handicap except Oloxy, who ran with a 40-yard handicap.

National Council of Business Education is cooperating with Phi Delta Kappa Fraternity in standardizing the terminology used in the various fields of education. Dean , Harvey A. And russ, of the State Teachers College at Bloomsburg, has been selected as a member of the Terminology Committee by the National Council. All of the curren * terms in the field of education will be defined , compared , and contrasted, so that some such uniformity of practice will emerge from this study as is now found in the Encyclopedia of Social Sciences, which has been in the procees of completion for a number ot years. First Local Commercial Contest Staged in 1931 Beginning in 1931, the State Teachers College at Bloomsburg, acting through the Junior Chamber of Commerce and the Pi Omega Pi Fraternity, has sponsored an annual contest for commercial students from the High Schools of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The number of schools participating has grown from twelve to fifty so that in 1936 it was necessary to divide the High Schools into two classes. These examinations are planned to tes t the st u dent's ability in. performing tasks similar to those required in actual business situations. Out of the experience of the past seven years, has been evolved the true and false-correction test and the problem-point test. One is an improved modification of the two response test and the other offers an opportunity to score figure problems obj ectively on a poin t basis. These new testing media are used in the examinations in bookkeeping, typewriting, business law, and business ari thmetic. ' 'Sufficient experimentation has justified the inclusion of these examinations in the annual bibiographies collected by Rutgers University and the office of Educat ion , Washington , D. C. The faculty of the Department of Business.Education has cooperated in making contests and classroom examinations available for schools in fifteen states in the Union. They have also compiled several civil service examinations for the Unemployment Board of Review, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Certain cities, Toledo , Ohio among them, use these contest examinations to help in the selection of their teachers of commercial subjects . Those examinations have attracted wide-spread interested in newer evaluation devices terested in newer exaluation devices in education and business, The 1938 examinations will be given at the College on April 30 and May 7. Twenty-two schools with 117 students and teachers have enrolled for tho A p r i l 30 examination. Twenty-four schools with 90 students and teachers have enrolled for -the May 7 examination.

Htgh School Pupils Guests of College May "Popular Science" Pri nts Story About Pro /, Keller's Favorite Hobby Narrow Escapes While Training Simba and Other Animals Related in Story by Ed. Teale Again Prof. Keller is lauded on his unique hobby which is rapidly gaining nation-wide recognition. This time it is by Edwin Teale in the May issue of Popular Science. Mr. Teale gives »n interesting account of the "backyard circus" and the "amateur trainer" with professional ability. Many of Prof. Keller's back-yard students are now appearing in vaudeville, circuses and motion pictures. Mr. Keller is continually adding to his collection, releasing his graduates to professional agencies when they have mastered the professor 's prescribed curriculum. Mention was made of the Jungle Farm which attracted some 17,000 visitors last summer. In discussing animal tendencies and natu re, Mr. Teale tells of many nar- row escapes Mr. Keller has had when his animals have turned upon him during a training period. One such inciden t was of Simba , a 170 lb. mountain lion, who, in leaping upon a swaying pedestal and becoming frightened, leaped for the nearest object in sight—Mr. Keller. Its great claws ripped the back out of his leather, j acket and knocked him flat upon the ground. Later this Simba was taught to walk a tight rope— the only animal of its kind to perform such a feat. The article is illustrated with pictures of Mr. Keller and his interesting animals, with which most of us are familiar.
