Shippensburg State
Normal School
The Shippensburg State Normal School is recog­
nized by superintendents and directors as one of the
leading schools in the country for the education of
teachers. The esteem in which the school is held by
those who are in a position to know of its merits is
the highest possible testimonial that could be offered
in its favor.
Free tuition and the low rates charged for board­
ing make the expenses of a Normal School Course
very low. Young persons looking forward to teaching as a profession cannot afford to miss the opportu­
nities offered them by the Shippensburg State Nor­
mal School, to qualify themselves for effective ser­
vice as teachers.
The Shippensburg Normal School moves for­
ward with the times and those who receive their edu­
cation in it are certain to be up-to-date in their know­
ledge and methods. Students who are ambitious to
come in contact with the latest approved ideas and
methods in teaching will find their desires fully met
by the opportunities offered by the Shippensburg
State Normal School.

The Fall Term opens September 5, 1904. A n y
persons thinking of taking a Normal Course should
write immediately to Dr. G. M. D. Eckels, Shippens­
burg, Pa., for a catalogue and other information of the
school.

XLbe ©rowtb of public Education in tbe IRew Century.
My theme has to do with the future and not with the past.
It is prophetical and not historical. There is, however, no way
of reading the future for the uninspired mind except as we read
it in the light of what has already transpired. The ideal has no
other basis upon which to rest save the real. To deal intelligently
with the future of public education implies a full knowledge of
its history. The chief value of history lies in the fact that from
it we are able to project with reasonable certainty the future.
The men who point the way of education are of more service to
their country than the men who make the way. To write in plain
characters the book of the future is the most valuable contribu­
tion a man can make to the literature of his time. To throw aside
the curtain which hides the great realm that lies beyond the
present and to permit the world to view its grandeur is a service
which cannot be too highly appreciated.
T h e N ece ssity

Grow th.

That there is a real necessity for the improvement and growth
of public education no one familiar with present conditions can
doubt. There are diseases in the body politic that must look to
the public school for remedy. The corruption in the administra­
tion of city government is a menace to the welfare and security of
our great cities. Almost every great city of our great Union has
in recent times had some great stain placed upon its government
which casts a shadow upon its future. The corruption and igno­
rance in the exercise of the elective franchise are menaces to our
free institutions that cannot be viewed by the patriotic citizen
without exciting alarm. We must look to the public school for
help in improving the purity of the ballot. The time was in the
history of our country when the will of the people was more hon-

2

estly expressed by the verdict of the polls. We boast a great deal
of the splendor of our achievements in recent years, but we lose
sight of the agencies that are at work on the foundations of our
government undermining our liberty. The purity of the ballot is
the only safeguard of human freedom. When the ballot no longer
expresses the will of the majority the end of free government is
plainly in sight. What folly to boast of our material achieve­
ments when the very pillars upon which rests the structure of
universal liberty are rocking on their foundations because of the
pollution of the ballot. “ The mills of the gods grind slowly, but
they grind exceeding fine.” Just as certain as the rise of to­
morrow morning’s sun will our government come to an end un­
less a check is placed upon the use of money at the polls. Young
men of honor and intelligence have their ambitions crushed when
they see written over the door which admits to public position,
You cannot enter here without paying tribute to the men who
stand with drawn swords ready to strike down anyone who en­
deavors to enter without their consent.” A country has little to
boast of which does not hold out equal chances to its young men
to achieve success in the field of statesmanship. A country is
great in proportion to the opportunities it offers to every citizen
to achieve success in any field of lawful enterprise, public or pri­
vate. Even public education itself has felt the influence of politi­
cal scheming and corruption. Positions in teaching are not by
any means always given to those who are fittest. Our courts
have recently been charged with the duty of trying men for cor­
ruption in the election of teachers. While these cases have been
few, no one believes that a tenth of one per cent, of those who
have been guilty of like offenses have been brought to the bar of
justice.
In addition to the lack of honesty in administering the public
schools, there is a wonderful lack of wisdom manifested in their
management. School directors are no longer uniformly selected
rom the class of men best qualified to serve in this capacity. In
the early days of the public school system in Pennsylvania the
best and most influential men of the districts were found on the
school board. While in many districts the same class of men are
to be found serving as directors to-day, yet this condition of affairs
is not by any means universal. Many men are now serving on
school boards whp are not by any means the fittest men in the

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

district for this important place. If the public schools are to im­
prove, it will not do to have the men who have charge of them
selected from any but the best class of citizens. The public
schools must broaden their influence so that it will be impossible
for men to be elected as school directors who are not morally and
intellectually the peers of the best men in the district.
There is a wonderful lack of disinterested patriotism among
the people. By disinterested patriotism I mean a patriotism that
will lead men to a faithful service of country without direct com­
pensation. In one sense all patriotism is interested patriotism.
No man can long remain loyal to a country that does not give to
him, or promise to his posterity, much more than his own services
have ever been worth to the government under which he lives.
Whenever a government is worth less to its citizens than its citi­
zens are worth to the government, its future is uncertain. A free
government is the most valuable form of government, because its
blessings have the widest possible distribution. And yet a free
government may be so badly administered that its benefits to the
common people will be very much less than they should be.
The men most interested in the primaries and general elec­
tions are mostly of the office-holding class. The men who have
no desire to hold office are often very indifferent in the matter of
elections. A few men with a liberal amount of cash often control
the primaries, and then appeal to party spirit to sustain the nomi­
nations at the general elections. The nominating conventions
bring with them the most important duty of the citizen. Nomi­
nate only good men, and the country will be in safe hands, no matter which way the elections go. It is of but little concern to
the country which party is in power so long as the best men of
that party hold the offices. The history of the country shows that
the contest between good candidates nominated for office is more
spirited than the contests between nominees who are unfitted for
the places they seek to fill. The records of the party, and the
principles for which it stands, ought to constitute the issues of
every campaign. The party daring to present a candidate upon
whose life there rests a moral or political stain should receive an
overwhelming condemnation at the polls. When both of the
great parties present negative or objectionable candidates, the
question for the voter becomes a choice of evils, and the duty of
the citizen is often far from being clear. When both the caridi-

4

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

dates are men of character and intelligence, the issues turn on
questions which are educative and inspiriting. It is to be de­
plored that the newspapers and the political rostrum have so little
influence in the control of our elections. The “ still hunt” has
done much to destroy the power of argument in our contests. It
has furnished the occasion in many instances for corrupt solicita­
tion. A better citizenship must be developed through the schools
and other uplifting agencies. It is folly to berate the infidelity of
public officials. The office-holders are always as good as the
people who elect them. A moral, upright people will always be
represented by officials of integrity and public spirit.
It is to be feared also that there is a lowering of the moral
tone in the social life of our people. The discipline of the home
is not as firm and uniform as it should be. The child has too
prominent a place in its government. The recognition of proper
authority is not manifest in the home to the same extent as in
former days. It is true that to some extent the discipline is more
rational now than ever before, but this advantage scarcely
compensates for the lack of prompt and absolute obedience to
proper authority which we find in what would otherwise be con­
sidered model homes. The good citizen has always learned the
lesson of obedience somewhere. The home should be the first
place to offer him the opportunity to gain this discipline.
The purity of life upon which the security and welfare of the
home so manifestly rest, is not as universal to-day as a generation
ago. There is not that sacred regard for pure morality among
the young that is necessary to give hopeful assurance for the
future welfare of the homes of our land. When young ladies de­
clare that they prefer the society of young men who have seen
something of the world and its iniquity, it is time for us to
consider whether sin is as distasteful to society as it must be to
insure its avoidance. The school must have no such examples of
loose moral ideas among its teachers, if it is to accomplish the
best results in character building.

are not by any means perfect, but they have made very en­
couraging advancement during the century just closed. Indeed,
when we look at them in the light of the obstacles thrown in their
way, their development has been wonderful. But little more
than a half-century ago the people elected in Pennsylvania :a
legislature pledged to the overthrow of the public school system,
which had just then been inaugurated. To-day no man would
dare raise his hand or his voice against the continuance of this
system. Such has been the change in public sentiment in this
short time. No institution is more firmly planted in the hearts
of the American people than the public school. In its discipline,
methods, and courses of study the advance of the public school
has been marvelous. We are yet, however, a long way from the
end of this development. But while this is true, there is no
need of revolutionary action in our efforts to further develop the .
system. What we need is a steady, consistent growth. Not
revolution but evolution. The reformers who come to us with
the cry that nothing short of a complete revolution in our public
schools will make the system worthy of public confidence and
support, do not understand the system or the work it is doing.
That the system needs improvement its friends do not deny, but
they are not by any means convinced of the fact that radical
changes are necessary to accomplish this improvement. The
foundations of the system, are well and securely laid and the
growth has been rapid, considering the conditions. With the
present rate of growth the end of the new century will show a
system which in its completeness and results will satisfy the
dream of the most enthusiastic reformer of to-day.
A wiser public sentiment will dominate the administration
of public schools. Public sentiment is the chief factor in the
promotion of the growth of the system. A ll things are possible
in the way of improvement in the system when public sentiment
is in harmony with the improvement desired. What we would
put into the public schools we must first put into the hearts of
the people. The marvelous growth of public sentiment during
the past century is our chief hope for the welfare of the system
in the new century. We need more teachers who are able to
mold public sentiment so that it will be in harmony with the best
ideas of school management and direction. The teacher’s work
is not limited to the school room. He must be an agent for the

6

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

highest development of public school sentiment. He must have
that broad intelligence and strength of character that will enable
him to become a leader in education in the community in which
he teaches. Growth in the school system is impossible without
the sunlight of favorable public sentiment being thrown upon it.
There is nothing that kills and destroys so effectively all
measures calculated to improve the schools as an antagonistic
public sentiment. In public sentiment lies our strongest hope if
it be right and our greatest fear if it be wrong.
A broader preparation will be demanded of the teacher in
the new century and he will be given greater freedom in his
work. One of the necessities for the higher development of the
schools is a broader scope given to the judgment of the teacher
in the grades. The common teachers cannot be marched in
ranks to their work. They cannot be made to move with the
precision of soldiers in obedience to the command of the super­
intendent. Interference with freedom of judgment and action
on the part of the teachers of the grades is death to progress, but
this freedom assumes the competency of the grade teacher.
Without this competency the freedom of the teacher must be en­
croached upon to prevent his making egregious mistakes. Free­
dom and competency go together. In the absence of competency
absolute freedom is unsafe. The way for the teacher in the ranks
to secure freedom is to thoroughly qualify himself for his place.
The new century will give the teacher in the grades this freedom,
but it will witness the utter impossibility of teachers getting
positions without adequate preparation. The greatest barrier to
the growth of the public schools to-day is the presence of un­
qualified teachers in the ranks of the profession. The new
century will witness the departure of this class from the occupa­
tion of teaching.
A more liberal supervision will be required of superintend­
ents and school officials. The broadening of the work of the
superintendent is an urgent need of the time. The superintend­
ent, more than any one else, should be in close touch with public
sentiment. Here is his greatest source of power and influence.
1 he superintendent of schools does not have much time to de­
vote to the details of school work. This work belongs, to the
teachers in the grades and if these teachers are qualified for their
places they will do this work more efficiently than the most com-

7

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

peten.t superintendent. As a rule the reforms in graded schools
are suggested, not by the thought of the superintendent, but by
the work of some efficient teacher in the ranks. Ofttimes, where
the superintendent insists upon his own ideas being carried out
against the judgment of the teacher in the grade, more harm is
done to the school system than good. The giving of examina­
tions in the grades for the purpose of classifying the pupils, the
dictation of methods to the grade teachers, and the imposing of
particular penalties for particular offenses contrary to the in­
dividual teacher’s judgment, are invasions of the grade teacher’s
province that are of exceedingly doubtful value.

The school grounds will be more attractive and better adapted
to recreation. The environment of the child has much to do with
his after life. Attractive surroundings influence the lives of the
young to a greater degree than most persons imagine. A home
with a charming lawn, lovely flowers and beautiful vines adorn­
ing it, is a more attractive spot for childhood and youth than a
place where these outer adornments are wanting. As you travel
through a country how your eyes linger upon such a home, and
how it ever afterward dwells in your mind as a beautiful picture.
President Roosevelt has said that a school without proper
grounds for recreation is a very poor kind of school. There can
be no doubt of the utility of good playgrounds for children.
Games of amusement constitute an important part of the educa­
tion of every child. Physical development is impossible without
the child’s having opportunity for recreation. Money spent in
this direction is well invested. Every teacher should study the
problems of the playground. The teacher will here find his best
opportunity for the study of child life. The child needs the play­
ground, not only for his pleasure but for his profit. When W el­
lington referred to the playground at Eton as the place where the
battle of Waterloo was won, he paid a high tribute to the dis­
ciplinary value of proper amusements for the young. The school
of the new century will furnish better opportunities for the child’s
recreation than he has in the schools of to-day. It is true that
here and there we find school grounds properly arranged and
equipped for the recreation of the pupils, but these schools are the
exception and not the rule. Before the end of the new century
they will become the rule and no longer the exception.

8

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

The school rooms of the new century will be more artistic
and inspiring. The use of art in education is becoming more fully
appreciated every year. We seldom find a home of any preten­
sions to-day where pictures do not adorn the walls. These pic­
tures not only please the eye, but they instruct the mind of the
child. They not only break the monotony of a plain wall, but,
if wisely selected, become an inspiration to the children. The
youth who has not had his soul touched with the beauty and les­
sons of art has been deprived of one of the most valuable sources
of education. The advance of a nation’s civilization is often in­
dicated by the character of its art. Every teacher should be a
faithful student of art, becoming acquainted with the work of the
masters, in order that he may become a proper instructor of youth.
The use of art in education will always be a tribute to the wisdom
of Greek educators.
The school rooms will be better equipped with the means of
education. The teacher of to-day is hindered very much in his
work because he is deprived of the instruments of education. A
good library must be a part of the equipment of every good school,
and sufficient apparatus should be supplied in order that the best
methods of instruction may be successfully applied.
More attention will be given to the healthfulness of school
rooms. The school room of the new century will be an example
of the application of the best knowledge science is able to give
concerning ventilation, lighting, heating, and the seating of pupils.
T h e P u p il .

The pupil’s attitude toward the teacher will be that of an in­
ferior toward a superior. The proper attitude of the child toward
the parent and teacher is not maintained as it was in a former day,
and this change is detrimental to the best interests of the child.
The pupil in effect says to the teacher, “ Make the subject inter­
esting or I will not study ;’ ’ “ love me or I will not obey you.”
While this is the duty of the teacher to the child, the child has no
right to demand such obligation. The child should be taught to
know his place, and to keep it. It has been found that discipline
in the army is impossible unless respect is paid to rank, and this
principle holds good in the family and the school’ as well as in the
camp of the soldier.
The home will afford better opportunities for the child to
study. The study table will be a part of the equipment of every

THE NORMAL, SCHOOL HERALD

9

good home. There is a great outcry to-day among some persons
against home study, but observation clearly shows that the students
who have made the best of school life have spent their evenings
faithfully in home study, and the home that does not provide this
opportunity for the child is not co-operating with the school in
his education.
A much larger percentage of the pupils will finish the course
of study prescribed for them in the public schools. Too many
children leave school before they are able to appreciate or under­
stand the value of education. It will be a great gain to the citi­
zenship of the country when more of the children remain in the
public schools long enough to finish a prescribed course of study.
One of the great benefits of a course of study is to furnish the
child an end for which he may lawfully strive.
T he T eacher.

The social standing of the teacher will be improved in the
new century. The time will come when he will be as welcome a
guest in the best families of the land as the preacher or the physi­
cian. This time will come only, however, when the teacher, by
his intelligence, refinement and culture, is worthy of such a place.
The average teacher will possess more general intelligence.
The teacher’s lack of influence socially is largely due to the fact
that he is not well informed upon the topics of popular interest.
The teacher must be a wide reader of good literature, and must cul­
tivate the art of conversation so as to make himself an interesting
center in social gatherings. This general intelligence, however,
will not only be available in society, but it will make him a more
interesting and capable teacher.
The teacher will understand the child and child-life better.
Every good teacher is a student of the child. The great interest
manifested to-day in child study will not be devoid of great profit
in public education. While much of this effort may not result in
valuable conclusions, in the end it will be found, however, that
the doctrine of child study is essential for the teacher, and the
fruits of child study will be plainly discernible in the methods of
the new school.
T h e Pa t r o n s .

Parents will come to look upon education as a necessity and
not a luxury, and this will greatly increase their interest m the

10

THE) NORM AL, SCHOOL, HE)RALD

cause of education itself. In an earlier day the parent who did
not teach his child a trade was looked upon as being1disloyal to
the interests of the child. In the future the parent who does not
give to his child a proper education will be regarded as the dis­
loyal one.
A deeper interest will be manifested by paren ts in the growth
of the public schools. It will not be a question of how cheap the
schools can be made, but how good.
The criticisms of parents will be more constructive and less
destructive. It is an easy matter to find fault,-but to criticise in
such a way as to improve that which is criticised requires thought
and an interest in the welfare of the institution under criticism.

The moral tone of the school will be better. There is a con­
census of opinion among educators that the chief aim of education
is the development of character. This fact has not been empha­
sized in the schools thus far to the extent that its importance de­
mands. When we come to understand the value of moral training
in the public schools we will appreciate more the value of char­
acter in the teacher. The personal influence of the teacher’s life
is his greatest power in the development of character in the child­
ren entrusted to his care.
The social life of the school will be more refined. Too little
attention has been paid thus far to the refinements of education.
The social culture of the child is an important part of his educa­
tion. It has even more money value than the three R ’s. The
teacher himself should be a representative of the best social life to
be found in the community in which he teaches. The school of
the new century will guard carefully the tastes and manners of the
child. The teacher’s example in politeness is as necessary for the
welfare of the child s social culture as his example in conduct is
necessary for the child’s development of character. Society is a
great factor in civilization, and the public school must contribute
its share of influence in elevating it.

The members of the class of 1904 must be leaders and not

too few in number. The Normal Schools, to do their duty to

the State, must furnish those who are to lead the thought con­
cerning public education in the new century. I trust that every
member of this class will be ambitious to occupy a leading place
in the profession of teaching. To be a leader you must grow
with the growth of the public school. No one can hope to be a
leader until he has mastered his calling You cannot hope to
launch immediately into the stream of highest success. You
must be content to reach the harbor of success only after making
a long voyage. Too many hope for success without paying its
price in labor and courage.
You must ever remain a friend of education whether you re­
main a teacher or not. You have been assisted to your educa­
tion through the liberality of the State and you owe it to the Com­
monwealth to be true to the cause for which the State has appro­
priated a liberal portion of its revenue. You may not all remain
teachers for life but you can always be a true friend of the public
school.
You must regard opposition to the public schools as treason
to the Republic. A free government without free schools is im­
possible. The safety of the Republic lies in the proper education
of the youth of the land. The man who is disloyal to the public
school is disloyal to the flag which floats over it. To be a friend
to the public school is to perform one of the highest duties of a
citizen.
Your ideal for the pupil must be the ideal citizen. The
public schools have been instituted chiefly for the training of the
young, in the knowledge, duties, and responsibilities of citizen­
ship. The qualities that belong to the ideal citizen must be de­
veloped largely through the training of the pupils in the public
schools. The public school is the only institution which touches
the life of every child of the Commonwealth. Into these schools
gather the children of all classes— the children of the rich and the
children of the poor; the children of the high and the children of
the lo w ; the children of American and the children of foreign
parents. These children are all to be educated in harmony with
the best type of American citizenship.
In a few days you will leave this institution to take your
places among the teachers of the State. You will meet with ob­
stacles in your new life more difficult to be overcome than any
which have confronted you in your school life. You have had

12

your trials here but more severe ones await you in the future.
The useful life must overcome many difficulties and achieve suc­
cess by hard toil and struggle. Although you are entering upon
duties which are more difficult to perform than the duties of the
student, yet you are better prepared for these duties now than
when you entered the institution. You are stronger in intellect
and stronger in character ; you are ready to face duties now that
you could not have faced with arty hope of success when you
first entered these halls as a student. Here you have received
the strength and preparation needed to fit you for successful
careers as teachers. May God bless you in the work you have
undertaken to do and .may this work prosper in your hands.

E&itorials.
The matter of feeling enters all too little into the art of teach­
ing. Or, looking from the other extreme, the matter of feeling
enters too largely into the teacher’s acts of discipline. It is well,
sometimes, for the earnest teacher to lift himself above the petty
occurrences of daily toil, to raise his nose from the grind of ordi­
nary school affairs, and ponder the divine understanding: “ He
knoweth our frame. He remembereth that we are dust.
The
children whom we now have in our charge will rise up and call
us blessed— or the other. The teacher should be the fairest of
judges; the child’s feelings, in the higher Sense, should always
receive due consideration; he stands continuously in the judg­
ment seat and his decisions are always for weal or woe. In the
mistakes and ill-conduct of seemingly so many the teacher is
liable to neglect the feelings of the individual. This is a great
error. W e teach individuals not classes. The defects found in
many pupils are too deeply seated to be reached and corrected
by the ordinary teacher. We often cannot mold the clay we have
into the vessel of our liking, not because the effort is not put
forth but because of the nature of the clay. Tet not the teacher
therefore fret herself because she cannot remove a quality of dis­
position not capable of removal. The attitude of the teacher
should always be positively sympathetic and helpful, yet with a
keen discrimination not to be imposed upon. A conscience void
of offense is a princely possession.

[G e r t r u d e G l e s s n e r .]

The success of the Philo Titerary Society has been partly
shown by its reunion. Mr. Fitting, of Elizabethville, and Miss
Horton, of Shippensburg, were chosen president and secretary.
The president’s address was inspiring and encouraging to all
literary workers, and was attentively received and appreciated by
all present. Applause was not lacking after the delightful vocal
solo by Miss Jones, and the same may be said of the instrumental
solo by Mr. Griffith. Expressions of pleasure were heard from
all sides concerning the recitations of Miss Wier and Miss Ed­
wards. Other delightful and entertaining numbers on the pro­
gram were the oration delivered by Mr. Uhler, and the vocal solo
by Miss Duke.
Although the membership of the Philo Society was not so
large as that of her sister society, yet advancement has marked
her way. Success is not always obtained through large numbers,
but by the steady, zealous work of those seeking this goal.

Every individual and nation have their trials and times of
adversity. The Normal Eiterary Society has surmounted its blow
of the past year, and appeared at the head. Many hard-working,
conscientious students are found within its ranks. Tact and tal­
ent have been exhibited in the excellent programs rendered bythe members of the society this year. Never before has every one
had such a deep interest and well-wishing for the success of Nor­
mal Society. Normal Society stands high as an important factor
of the institution. The president and secretary of the class of
1904 were both chosen from the members of Normal Society.
The present members of the society wish to show to those who
are interested in the welfare of the society that they will be ever

The Y , M. C. A . has been doing excellent work during the
year. The spring campaign has been conducted very success­
fully, and nearly all of the new men have joined the Association.
The courses of Bible study have been completed— ‘ ‘ The Life and
Works of Jesus According to St. M ark,” under the direction of
Prof. Heiges, and ‘‘ Dr. Johnson’s Studies for Personal Workers,”
under the direction of Prof. McCrone. The latter course was
completed at the close of the Winter Term, and during the Spring
Term the members of this class have been pursuing a course of
Bible Marking Studies.
Mr. Morton, the newly elected President, attended the Presi­
dents’ Conference at State College, and is now planning the work
for next year. He is pursuing this work very earnestly, and if
we give him our support the Y . M. C. A . work next year will be
a great success.
The records show seventeen conversions during this year.
We hope that we may reach every non-Christian man during the
next year.
Mr. Morton and Mr. Shuck were sent to Students’ Confer­
ence at Northfield. The Conference began July ist. The in­
spiration which comes from Northfield is never lost. The benefit
which comes to the Y . M. C. A . cannot be measured. Several
more students would have been sent but for lack of funds,

The work done by the Y . W. C, A . during the year is inter­

delegate to the Woman’s Conference at Silver Bay on account of
our finances. But by hard work we have this year succeeded in
making money enough to send our new President, Miss Emma
Haar. This Was accomplished by subscriptions, by selling candy
and by money taken in from entertainments, and we still have a
nice little sum for a nest egg.
The Conference is a student confederation held at Silver Bay,
from the 24th of June to the 5th of July, for Bible study. One of
the most interesting and inspiring subjects discussed is that in

The Senior class took a very enjoyable trip to Washington
on May 5th, 6th and 7th. Many Alumni and friends of the school
joined the party. Many places of interest were visited. A ride
in a “ Seeing Washington Automobile” was a very pleasant
feature of the trip. Dr. Barton and Prof. McCrone accompanied
the Seniors.
The first of May was celebrated as the fifteenth anniversary
of Dr. Eckels’ principalship of the C. V . S. N. S. On behalf of
the students Mr. Uhler presented Dr. Eckels with several tokens
of appreciation. The Dr. replied by giving a short history of the
school and its remarkable growth.
Dr. Meminger, of Lancaster, gave an illustrated lecture June
3d, in the Normal Chapel, on London, Paris, and Switzerland.
The lecture was given under the auspices of the Athletic Associ­
ation.
Many members of the Senior class have already secured po­
sitions for the coming year.
On Monday of commencement week Dr. Barton gave an
experiment in wireless telegraphy on the campus. The experi­
ment was successful and showed the usefulness of this wonderful
invention.

Commencement Meet?.
Sa t u r d a y .

The exercises of Commencement week began Saturday even­
t s » Juus 25th, with a banquet to the Class of 1904 and the mem­
bers of the Faculty, by the Board of Trustees of Normal. The
tables were spread with an abundance of the choicest delicacies of
the season, and suffice it to say that justice was done. Dr.
Eckels acted as toastmaster of the occasion. Responses were
given by Mr. Bressler, Mr. McPherson, and a number of the
Faculty.
Su n d a y .

On Sunday morning the five classes of the Normal Sunday
School assembled in the Chapel for a closing service. Dr. Eckels,
in opening, presented for a theme “ The Importance of Systematic
Bible Study,’ ’ and Professors McCrone, Heiges, Gordinier and Rife
followed with brief addresses in the same line of thought. The
exercises closed with Tennyson’s “ Crossing the Bar,” a hymn
which became a general favorite during the term.
B accalau reate Serm on.

The chief item of the evening service was the Baccalaureate
Sermon, by Rev. Frank P. Wheeler, of the Presbyterian Church,
Newville, Pa. The text was Matt, x x v i i : 22— “ What shall I
do then with Jesus which is called Christ. ” After a short review
of the life of Christ, the speaker Said in part as follows :
This interrogation stands at the close of the human career of
Jesus Christ. It is at such a time that men are apt to ask ques­
tions. A man whom we knew dies, and although we knew him
well, still his end raises the question, Who was he ? What has
he done? To what purpose did he live? What claim has the
truth for which he lived on me ? Our time this evening is too
short to dwell on processes. We can only indicate results and
note their lessons.
The first promise, that Christ would come into the world, was
4,000 years old when he did arrive in Bethlehem, the miraculous
child of Joseph and Mary. But during these fourteen centuries
God had called to Himself a people whom He educated by prophet
and miracle, symbol and providence, so that the Jews might recog­
nize and accept Christ when He should come. Both His personal
character and the nature of His mission had been carefully re-

THIS NORMAL, SCHOOL, HERAL,D

21

vealed. So strikingly true was this that the Old Testament is a
history of Christ in prophecy, as definite and accurate as that
found in the four gospels, lacking only the details of the latter.
But because Christ did not coincide with their preconceived no­
tions of the Messiah the Jews would not own Him. Christ said,
“ I am the way, the truth and the life.” The Jews would not
follow Him. They said He was in league with the Devil, and
killed Him. But Christ, like other men, was immortal till His
work was done and God’s plan in His life carried out. His life s
work once accomplished, our interest centers in the question of
the text, ‘ ‘ What shall I do with Jesus ?”
Judas betrayed Him. The Sanhedrin condemned Him to
death. But they did not have the power of capital punishment,
and appealed to Pilate, the Roman governor and judge— for Pal­
estine was now a Roman province— to give their sentence official
sanction. Pilate, from the outset, had an instinctive sense of
Christ’s innocence, and felt sure that He was the victim of Jewish
prej udice and hatred. He resorted to every conceivable expedient
to get rid of giving sentence against Christ. Five separate times,
after as many inquiries into the truthfulness of their charges, he
declared to His accusers that he found no fault in Jesus. I f ever
Pilate wanted to do the fair thing by a prisoner, it was now. But
his bad administrative policy among the Jews made him afraid
now to stand by his conscience and sense of justice, and give
Christ His civil rights in the face of the clamoring enemies of
Christ. He was afraid to have his official career reviewed at Rome.
He could not release Jesus and hold his position— so he thought.
A man’s daily conduct often' fits or unfits him for meeting his
life’s crisis. Pilate’s crisis came when Jesus stood before him to
be judged. And so the crucial test of every man’s life is set forth
in the words of the text, P What shall I do with Jesus ?” Pilate
failed. So does every man who sets Christ at naught. When he
offered to release Jesus, his enemies said, ‘ ‘ Give us Barabbas,
and Pilate delivered JesUs to be crucified.
Pilate had conscientious convictions of duty. He knew what
he ought to do with Jesus. He was entreated by his friends to do
his duty. His wife urged him to have nothing to do,with that
'-•■ “ Just Man.” He had the power to do his duty. One decisive
word from him would have scattered the mob and spared Jesus.

22

THE normal school herald

But, alas ! his own former life unfitted him for doing h}s duty.
“ Their own doings will not suffer them to turn unto their God, ”
said Hosea of Israel.
Sin and human nature are the invariable factors in human
life. They are always the same. So like Pilate we may miss
life’s one great opportunity, and make of life, after all, a dismal
failure.
What shall I do with Jesus’ ’ is the voice of Providence
and revelation to each one of you on the threshold of an active
life.
1 . You are asked to consider this question in view of man’s
condition as a sinner. That man’s heart is not right in the sight
of God and that he needs a Savior from the guilt and power of
sin, is confessed by all men. Something has come between God
and men. That something is sin, the only thing in this world
that God hates. God’s very nature compels him to hate sin.
But at the same time he loves the sinner, His creature.
He
hates nothing he has ever made. Man could not in any way save
himself. But God in His mercy has provided a way by which He
can deal with sin as it deserves to be dealt with, and at the same
time save the sinner. He has most effectually dealt with sin in
Christ.
2. You are asked to consider the question of the text in
view of man’s need of a life model that embodies in every respect
God’s ideal of human excellence. Christ is God’s ideal man per­
fected, as well as man ’s only Savior. The story of His life is told
in one word, service. “ He came not to be ministered unto but to
minister.” Salvation alone does not give us an ideal life; but
salvation linked with service for others, does. Some early
Christians made the mistake in retiring from the world. Christ
sent His disciples into the world. The world does not need
monks and nuns, but missionaries— missionaries in the parlor and
kitchen, in the schoolroom and office, behind the counter and on
the farm. Asceticism as a means to an end, when that end is
uninterrupted communion with God, is necessary. But as an
end in itself, it is a sin. It is 'selfish. It stifles the impulse of
benevolence. The “ Let us abide here” idea expressed by Peter
was natural, but it was wrong. The new vision the disciples
just had of Christ was just what they needed for the crisis of the
cross. But to think of remaining in the mount was a mistake.

Monday morning, June 27th. This address is published in full
elsewhere in the H e r a l d . We recommend a careful perusal of
it. The reader will find it replete with profound thought and
excellent advice for those about to enter upon the active work of
teaching. Years of experience in teaching and in the training of
young men and women for teaching have made Dr. Eckels a
wise counselor and a safe guide.

On Monday evening the art exhibit was unusually well at­
tended by graduates and friends of the institution. The excel­
lence of the display reflects much credit upon Miss Rechel who
has had charge of this department for several years. The value
of this work is becoming more and more apparent as the years go
by and the demand for a higher standard of excellence in our
schools makes it necessary for the public school teacher to re­
ceive the best possible training in this department. This exhibit
contained specimens of work from every member of the Junior
Class and thus showed completely the grade of work done. The
department is now doing exactly the kind of work needed for
practical use in the school room. •
The annual musical and literary recital, under the direction
of the Misses Brenner and Harlow, was also held on Monday
evening at 8 o’clock, when an excellent programme was given.
No special comment would need to be made, for the large audi­
ence bore sufficient witness to the growing interest in this work.

SCHOOL HERALD

The first number on the programme, “ Ungarische Tanze, ’ ’
was well rendered and showed careful preparation and reflected
the touch of a master hand in the training. Miss Ethel Myers,
by her reading, “ The Eight on Deadman’s Bar,” delighted her
friends by her grace and naturalness. It was a splendid efiort.
The piano solo, by Miss Nickles, spoke for her no uncertain note
of praise. Miss Emma Haar received many compliments for her
vocal solos. She possesses a voice of unusual compass and
strength. Miss Eva Weir received much applause for the man­
ner in which she gave her reading entitled, “ The Second T rial.’?
Miss Weir possesses considerable power in interpretation and e x­
pression. The two piano solos of the Misses Hazel and Jean
Pearson need no special comment. Their efforts reflected both
careful preparation and thorough training. Miss Lena Dunlap
recited “ The Boy Orator of Zepata City” with the greatest suc­
cess. The splendid reception of her performance, by the large
audience present, is the best comment that can be made. She
possesses considerable dramatic and interpretative power. The
two-piano performance,»“ Spanish Tanzes,” by the Misses
Nickles; the vocal solo, by Mr. Bressler; the dialogue, “ Fast
Friends;” and the double quartette, “ O Holy Father,” were all
very well received, and reflected the highest praise alike upon
performers and teachers.

The exercises of the day began under very auspicious cir­
cumstances. The many friends and relatives of the graduates
filled the chapel, and with expectant hearts awaited the perfor­
mance of the various parts. The occasion is always a very happy
one and no one was disappointed. The class marched in with
dignified steps, clad in fine linen and enveloped by that indefin­
able spiritual something which always surrounds young people
about to leave their Alma Mater and be scattered to the four
points of the compass. The occasion was further enlivened by
music furnished by Oyler’s orchestra of Harrisburg.
Mr. Raymond Bressler, president of the class, delivered a
very carefully prepared address with good grace and manly bear­
ing. His subject was Friendship, concerning which he said in
part as follows : Friendship, sincere, disinterested and true is

THE NORMAL SCHOOL, HERALD

25

one of the most sacred treasures a man can possess. It is too
often used lightly and we call those persons friends who are fre­
quently mere acquaintances. We are not seeking for people who
profess to be our friends as long as we are in a prosperous con­
dition. Friendship, like confidence, is a plant of slow growth.
The two elements that go to make up the composition of friend­
ship are truth and tenderfless. Both are so closely related that
we can detect no superiority in either. The only reward for vir­
tue is virtue. The only way to have a friend is to be one. Be
slow to choose a friend, be careful in cherishing him, and if he
prove true, cling to him.
Robert McPherson, orator of the class, pronounced his
oration on General John Brown Gordon ; and said in substance :
General Gordon so conducted himself during the civil war that he
gained the respect and love of the southerners. After the war he
strove to obliterate the animosity between the sections and gained
the love and admiration of the American people. In some re­
spects his life is'paralleled by Washington’s. The fame of each
rests upon a military career. As a soldier and leader Gordon was
characterized by military genius, quickness of decision, dash,
bravery and faithfulness. . These traits were displayed again and
again on the battlefield. He was devoted to his commissions.
Gordons are needed in the church, politics, and in the school.
Miss Jessie Wright read the class history. She showed in
true colors the weakness and doings of her classmates. With the
illustrious (?) deeds of the class, which will no doubt live in the
annals of future ages, the idiosyncrasies of various of the faculty
were connected.
The Mantle Oration on “ The Ideals of Life” was delivered
by Mr. Roy Starry, who said in pa'rt: Man’s life is what he
makes it. One of the essentials to a successful life is a strong,
healthy body. To the physical add the intellectual ideal. The
intellect is the motive power which impels to activity. Morality
is the third ideal which insures success ; but far above these three
ideals is the religious ideal, the ideal which gives us peace and
hope.
Mr. Bortner of the Middle Class responded as the mantle was
placed upon his shoulders, assuming the responsibility and
dignity which comes to Seniors.
The Ladies’ Class Roll was called by Miss Anna Jones.

26

THE NORM AH SCHOOL HERALD

With bright hits and witty sayings Miss Jones brought out the
most striking characteristics of each lady member of the class.
The Gentlemen’s Class Roll was called by Mr. Ira Yohe, who set
forth the tricks and weaknesses of the gentlemen.
A t this point Mr. Bressler directed a few words of farewell to
the people of Shippensburg, the Board of Trustees, the members
of the Faculty, and Dr. Eckels. The words of Mr. Bressler
showed plainly the tender feeling and high regard which the
students have for Dr. Eckels.
The exercises closed by the singing of the Class Song, which
was written by Miss Maude Mason.

The Class of 1902 rendered a very creditable program at their
reunion Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Frank C. Myers, president of
the class, made the opening address. He handled the subject of
“ True Success” with the greatest ease and, ability. Miss Clara
Potter followed with a piano solo. She played with grace and
precision. Mr. O. M. Billow delivered an oration upon the sub­
ject, “ Know Thyself. ’ ’ He presented his thoughts with clearness
and expression. Miss Minnie McCloskey recited in a very pleas­
ing and touching manner. In the name of the class, Mr. Ralph
Jacoby presented the school, through Dr. Eckels, a donation in
money, to be used in purchasing portraits of well-known men and
women.
The Class of ’94 did not have a regular program. They met
together, however, and had a good time talking over the old days.
The Alumni held their annual business meeting Tuesday
afternoon. Dr. Barton acted as temporary chairman. Mr. I. W.
Huntzberger was elected president of the Alumni Association for
the coming year. Superintendent Roth presented the school, in
the name of the classes of ’87, ’88 and ’89, a handsome portrait
of Prof. John F. McCreary, who was principal of the Normal at
that time. Dr. Eckels received the portrait, and gave a short
history of the noble life and character of Prof. McCreary.
Instead of the ordinary program at the Annual Reunion of
the Alumni, Mr. Spillman Riggs lectured on “ Musical Fits and
Misfits.
Mr. Riggs is a well-known lecturer and impersonator,
and delighted the large audience with his splendid eloquence.

C om m encem ent D a y .

The final and long-expected day arrived on time, with an
evident contest on between Old Sol and Jupiter Plnvius as to
which should control weather conditions.
A t the breakfast table suppressed yawns and a dreamy look
about the eyes indicated that many had, the night before, sacri­
ficed their own beauty sleep, and that of others, upon the altar of
social intercourse, occasioned by the meeting of old friends and
classmates.
Although visitors had been much in evidence during the pre­
ceding days, the list was largely increased by those arriving on
early morning trains, and by a constant procession of carriages
winding up the beautiful drives of the campus, escorted by large
numbers on foot from the town.
A t ten o’clock the dispute between the weather gods had ap­
parently been settled in favor of Sol, and he beamed through the
stained glass windows of the Chapel upon a beautiful and attrac­
tive scene. After the entrance of the Faculty in a body, the
Seniors filed in and took their places upon the stage on the tiers
of seats, so arranged that all could be seen, the beautiful white
gowns of the young ladies furnishing a pleasing contrast to the
conventional black of the gentlemen.
After a very pleasing selection by Oyler’s Orchestra, of Har­
risburg, which throughout the Commencement week furnished
most excellent music, prayer was offered by Rev. J. O. Reagle ;
it was earnest, and especially appropriate to the occasion. After
another musical selection, the oration was given by Mr. D. Leslie
Stamy, the first honor student of the class.
Mr. Stamy had chosen “ Tours ” as his subject, and the line
of thought presented by him showed extensive historical research,
and no inconsiderable amount of original thinking. It was brief
yet comprehensive, well delivered and well received.
This was followed by a ladies’ chorus, “ What the Chimney
Sang,!® which elicited hearty applause from the audience. The
voices of the twenty-four young ladies composing the chorus
harmonized unusually well, and the careful modulations and cor­
rect expression bore evidence of the thorough work of their
trainer, Miss Josephine Duke.
The next number, a recitation, “ The Heavenly Guest,” by

28

THB) NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

Miss Gertrude Glessner, an honor student, received the careful
attention of her hearers, and called forth some very compli­
mentary remarks. The subject was well suited to Miss Glessner’s
voice, her gestures were easy and graceful, and the effect of the
whole was very pleasing. Such selections are much more accept­
able to the general audience than the more pretentious and more
nerve-racking efforts frequently heard on similar occasions.
Miss Mabel Ruthrauff, an honor student, next read a very
carefully prepared essay on William Cullent Bryant. We are
glad Miss Ruthrauff had the good judgment to select a subject of
this kind rather than to attempt to deal with the good old ones
such as Success, Hitch Your Wagon to a Star, Perseverance,
and a host of such to which a long suffering American public has
had to smile approval for these many years, and applaud the
sweet girl graduate, as she told her parents and grand parents
how to win success in life. Miss Ruthrauflf’s paper showed close
study, comprising a brief biography of the noted author, an able
critique of his works, and closing with a high tribute to the great
nature poet of America.
Then followed an overture by the orchestra which was
bound to be pleasing, comprising, as it did, a fantasia of the
popular national airs.
The Commencement Address was delivered by Rev. Wilford
P. Shriner, D. D., of Carlisle, subject, “ The Mystery and Mission
of Rife.” Dr. Shriner won his audience at the start, and for an
hour held their closest attention. What is Life? A question
asked from the beginning, and a valuable one, stimulating
thought and giving rise to many theories. Space forbids a full
review of this most logical and interesting address, but a few
points will be suggestive of the whole. Scientists have theorized
as to the origin of life, but not everything that bears the mark of
a scientist is true. Many men have all kinds of sense'except
common sense. The speaker then attacked the theory of auto­
genesis, and argued in behalf of the Bible statement,— that all
things were created in the beginning by the Creator. He paid a
high tribute to that great scientist, Herbert Spencer, who denied
the possibility of such a thing as a spontaneous generation. He
cited the famous experiment in New York some years ago, when
scientists thought they had produced an artificial egg, or rather
a natural egg by artificial means; they also thought they had

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

29

produced a seed. The egg and the seed stood the close test of
chemical analysis, but unfortunately for the scientists, the one re­
fused to bring forth a chicken, and the other could not be in­
duced to germinate under most favorable conditions. This leads
to but one conclusion— that the only rational account of the be­
ginning of life is that account found in the Bible. Dr. Shriner
then took up the mission of life, which is not to get rich, not to
acquire culture or fame, not to be a good citizen, a good father,
a loving mother or a beautiful child. Why? Because these in
themselves do not go high enough to take in God, who must be
the beginning, the end and the inspiration of every life. We
must understand truth*in its proper relation ; the trouble is, it is
too often taken out of its natural setting. The means must not
be confounded with the end. Man is not born into life to be
only a teacher, a preacher, but to know the correct beginning
and end of life, God. Make the divine the ideal and the stimu­
lus ; our mission is to honor God. The speaker than briefly ad­
dressed the class, congratulating them on the honors achieved,
referring to the effect of influence, and stating that it is more
serious to live than to die. The address as a whole was a
masterly effort, showing an intimate knowledge with the best
literature on the subject, and epitomizing the best thought of the
scholars of all time.
After an overture by the orchestra, Dr. Eckels in a few
well chosen words granted diplomas to members of this year’s
class, and also second diplomas to the class of 1902.
The mixed chorus, “ The Revel of the Leaves,” was of high
order, and its rendition showed the high grade of work done in
the musical department of the Shippensburg Normal.
The benediction was pronounced by Rev. H. A . Straub, and
the thirty-first Commencement of the Cumberland Valley State
Normal School passed into history.
The afternoon was given up to social pleasures, and the
tables at supper showed that many had been compelled to leave
on outgoing trains.
A t seven o’clock a very enjoyable concert was given on the
campus by the orchestra, and national and popular songs by the
students whiled away a very brief hour.
The Alumni Sociable in the evening, under the able manage-

by the beauty and the chivalry of school and town, and continued
