These books are remarkable, both for the originality in the
development o fth e subject and for the wonderful skill in simplifying processes and preparing a large number of examples and

In developing the theory, the authors have shown more plainly

every stëp or process. This treatment is better adapted to the
1 practical American spirit, and it also gives the study o f arithmetic
; a larger educational Value. '
In making the problems and illustrative solutions, modern

j are consequently interesting and sensible, and the solutions are
up-to-date. The exercises are well graded and thorough.
On every page of these books is stamped the class-room ex( perience of scholarly teachers and-the methods of practical men

M em bers of t h e C la ss of 1903 :

I come to give my parting counsel to you as a class. My
theme involves an answer to the question “ When is a Man Called
to Teach?”
In selecting this theme I had no intention of slighting woman
as a teacher. Her worth in this field of labor is too well estab­
lished by the facts of history to allow any wilful disregard of her
importance as a teacher. My use of the masculine gender only
is simply for the purpose of avoiding an awkward use of personal
pronouns.
W e can fashion ideals only for those teachers who make teach­
ing their life work. No man is entitled to be called a teacher un­
less he makes instruction the business of his life. This does not
mean that good teaching has not been done by some of those who
have made teaching a stepping stone to some other calling. In
fact the man who makes a success of teaching will usually make
a success of any other legitimate calling in which he may engage,
and frequently his success in teaching is his chief recommendation
for a different kind of labor. Had he been less successful he
might have remained indefinitely in the work of teaching. It is
the successful teacher who is tempted by offers of better compen­
sation to quit teaching and engage in other employments. A
successful teacher assumes a great responsibility when he forsakes
teaching to enter some other calling simply because it offers better
inducements financially. The best fruits of man’s labor are not
always the dollars and cents it brings him. The enrichment of
other lives is a better return for service than the enrichment of
one’s purse.
There are many misfits in life. A great majority of the
failures in life grow out of the fact that there are so many per-

2

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

sons filling places that they were never intended to fill. There
is no more important problem comes before the mind of the young
man for solution than the selection of his life work. There is a
theory of life which ignores this problem. Successful men have
said that a life calling should not be self-selected and that men
should drift into their spheres. This opinion seems to clash with
both reason and experience. That a man should allow circum­
stances to control him entirely in finding his place in life, removes
from life the value of a definite purpose. Experience proves
conclusively that men succeed best when they follow a definite
plan laid down in the commencement of life’s work. Those who
succeed by drifting are the exception; those who succeed by
Studied plan and purpose are the rule. It is a generally accepted'
truth that the ethical end is the true end in education. The
teacher’s fitness for his work should therefore be largely de­
termined by ethical considerations. A teacher can better aflord
to be deficient in intellectual than in moral power. Character isthe supreme test of the teacher’s fitness for his work. The tree
may be strong in trunk and limb, the blossoms it bears beautiful
and,fragrant, but if the fruit be imperfect and bitter the vigorous
tree and the, sweet blossoms are to no purpose. So it is with
man, the body may be strong and the intellect keen, but if the
character be weak the strong body and the bright intellect are
both in vain.
I will now endeavor to answer the question wnich constitutes
the theme of my address, “ When is a Man Called to Teach ?”
i. When he is prepared.
About four thousand persons begin the work of teaching
every year of whom at least one-half are utterly unprepared to do
effective teaching. In none of the other learned professions
would such conditions be possible. No man has a right to as­
sume charge of a school until he has first made preparation for the
work. The results of the teacher’s labor are too important to be
dependent upon the efforts of any one not fully qualified for the
task. The door to every schoolhouse is morally closed to every
man to enter as a teacher who has not first fitted himself by special
training to assume this important responsibility. To begin the
work of teaching without adequate preparation is to invite fail­
ure at the threshold of life’s work.
The inability to interest pupils is due largely to two things*

THE NORMAE SCHOOE HERAED

3

lack of knowledge of the subject and lack of knowledge of the
learner* This knowledge can only be obtained satisfactorily
by a thorough course of training in schools established for the
purpose of educating teachers. The aim of the training of any
one for a legitimate calling in life is first to secure strength of
mind, and second, force of character. Strength of mind comes
from the mastery of a course of study broad enough and suffi­
ciently extended to insure the harmonious development of all the
faculties of the intellect. Force of character comes from the de­
velopment of high ideals in the individual' student and the cul­
tivation of those virtues without which the ideal is almost j if not
altogether, worthless. It is needless to say that both kinds of
strength can be obtained most satisfactorily in schools established
for the special training of those who are to teach the children.
2. When he is ambitious to enter a field of labor which affords
him the widest opportunities of self improvement.
A man’s first concern should be for his own improvement. A
man owes it to himself to continue his mental and moral growth
throughout life. A man who quits school with the idea that his
full development has been secured is laboring under a fatal delu­
sion. The best school in the land can do no more than lay a suffi­
cient foundation for the great-superstructure of life. Teaching
offers better opportunities for a man to continue his development
than any other calling in which he can engage. The teacher has
every stimulus to continue the work of educating himself which
was begun in the schools. His success cannot be secured in any
other way. Those who are responsible for the selection of
teachers for important positions soon discover the difference be­
tween the man who has reached the “ dead line’ ’ and the man
whose strength of mind and heart is ever on the increase.
3. When he believes that teaching will afford him the widest
field for the exercise of his talents.
Every man should select for himself the widest field of use­
fulness which he is capable of filling. No man is making a suc­
cess of life who is doing less than he is capable of doing. He is
like the one talent man burying the gift which his Ford has given
him. Many men shrink from teaching because of its responsibili­
ties and the necessity for self sacrifice which a calling so sacred
always brings. To ignore the call to teach because it demands
the highest service we are capable of rendering is not the action

4

THE NORMAL, SCHOOL, HERALD

of a soul directed by the divine impulse. To be called blessed
by those whom we have taught is a recompense for service more
precious than gold. To be an uplifting influence upon the lives
of hundreds whom we have instructed is power which the best of
earth may covet. But greater than the joy which these rewards
will bring to the faithful teacher will be the joy which the “ well
done of the Master will bring to the ears of him who has ren­
dered conscientious service in the school room as a teacher.
4- When he has dedicated his life to the welfare of humanity.
There is no other calling where the selfish man is so out o f
place as in teaching. Every true teacher is altruistic in feeling.
His heart burns with zeal for the welfare of others. Every great
teacher of the past has been of the altruistic type. Over the tomb
of Pestalozzi is written the inscription, “ A ll for others, nothing
for self.” This is the spirit that characterizes every true teacher
of children. The man whose energies are centered in the promo­
tion of selfish interests is not wanted in the school room as a
teacher. There is no other calling in life where a man can shirk
duty so successfully as in teaching. The physician who fails to
cure his patients loses his practice, the lawyer who loses his cases
soon loses his clients, but the teacher may and often does slight
his task without any one’s knowing it but himself. But the con­
sciousness of this faithless service will burn in his soul and destroy
his self respect until his moral life is almost totally destroyed.
None but he who has consecrated his life to the good of others
can be safely trusted with the education of children.
5.
When he believes that education is the foundation of his
country's greatness and success.
Only patriots are qualified to teach. The loyal teacher is the
best defense against foes within and foes without our country.
So long as the fires of patriotism burn brightly on the altars of
our school rooms we need have little fear for our country’s safety.
-The teacher should be a close student of his country’s history and
of the government under which he lives. No one can appreciate
the blessings of liberty fully unless he is aware of the price at
which it has been secured When we call to remembrance the
struggle of our forefathers in conquering the natives and the for­
ests and afterwards in breaking the chains which bound them in
servitude to the mother country, we have a livelier appreciation
of the value of free government to the citizen. To understand

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

5

the constitution under which we live and to be able to compare
it with the fundamental laws of the other great countries of the
world will give us a keener interest in the preservation of the
freedom which this constitution guarantees to every citizen of
our land. On contemplating the vastness of our territory, the
wealth of our resources, the greatness of our citizenship, the
glory and strength of our army and navy, the universality and
completeness of our educational systems, the marvelous energy
and ability of our free press, the immense sums of money volun­
tarily contributed for benevolence, and the spread of the gospel,
we behold the wisdom of God in planting the Anglo-Saxon race
on the borders of this continent to overrun it and to conquer it
for the founding of His reign. In view of what our country has
done for its own people and for the oppressed of other lands the
American can be pardoned for his pride in believing that he is a
citizen of the greatest nation on the face of the earth, in the
grandest era of the world’s history. The teacher of American
youth, resting his judgment upon the facts of history, should have
a firm conviction that free government is the only true govern­
ment for an intelligent and noble minded people. He should
also believe that this free government can continue only on the
condition that each succeeding generation is educated in a wisely
planned system of free schools. He must believe with all his
heart that free government can only exist in connection with free
schools.
6. When the ruling passion of his life is a love for pupils.
When one of the old Professors of Yale was asked how the
young Professors of this great university differed from the old
Professors, said: “ The young Professor loves his subjects but not
his students, the old Professor loves both.” For the sake of
higher education it is to be hoped that the old Professor was mis­
taken in his opinion of the young Professor. It is to be feared,
however, that with the vast additions which have been made in
recent years to the sum of knowledge in all departments of learn­
ing, the modern teacher may come to have a pride in his at-j
tainments which will crush out any growing desire he may have
for the individual interests of his students. The love for the
student must be the supreme motive which gives energy and
direction to the teacher’s life. Much of the teacher’s success de­
pends on his power to control his pupils. Failing in this he well

6

THE NORMAL SCHOOL, HERALD

nigh, fails in everything else. Without a deep and abiding love
for the pupils it will be impossible for the teacher to control them
in the best way. A forced government may be necessary for a
time but unless it eventually gives place to a System of control
based upon love it will end in utter failure. The teacher whose
power to govern extends no further than the door of the school
room is weak at the most vital point in his qualifications. Unless
a man feels that he is capable of loving every child brought to
him for instruction he is incapable of doing the work of the
teacher successfully.

7 . When the search for knowledge gives him more pleasure than
the search for gold.
Knowledge and gold are not found in the same mifie. The
man whose heart is fixed on the accumulation of wealth will not
usually be much interested in making additions to his sum of
knowledge. His only use for knowledge will be in the service i t '
renders him in his schemes to build up a fortune. This state­
ment must not be construed into an argument against the moral­
ity of the man who honestly makes a fortune and wisely disposes
of it. The individual fortunes of America have in/ured g re a tly / ^
the welfare and happiness of her people.
Neither must the
statement be construed to teach the doctrine that the teacher is
not morally bound to be thrifty and economical in his habits of
living. Teachers as a rule are not as good financiers as they
should be. A poor bank account has destroyed the force and
value of many a teacher’s influence. A teacher owes it to himself
and his influence to save as much of his salary as he can after
providing for those who are dependent upon him and making
provision for his own improvement. In the end, however, his
heart must be fixed on the welfare of the child and not on
schemes for the amassing of a fortune. The work of teaching is
not compatible with a life devoted to money getting. The re­
wards of the true teacher are sure and great but they do not come
in the shape of bonds and securities.
8 . When he believes that teaching is one of the noblest ofcallings.
There are some persons who object to teaching because they
think that they cannot attain a high social standing so long as
they remain in the teacher’s profession. For such persons there
is surely no call to teach. The individual who is ashamed o f his
profession ought not to disgrace it by continuing in it. I f any

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

7

young man feels that his social standing will be lowered by en­
gaging in teaching he must get rid of his false notion or forever
remain outside of the ranks of the teacher’s profession. As civil­
ization advances, however, we are glad to note that the position
of the teacher in society is becoming more secure, and when the
highest civilization reigns the successful teacher will become a
leader in the social circle. But whether he be included in or ex­
cluded from the upper circles of society he must not lose faith in
the nobility of his calling. He must look with favor upon the
teacher’s life and labor and be proud that he is a member of the
teacher's profession. When history gives a true account of the
agencies which have made our country great it will be found that
we are more indebted to the teacher than to the statesman.
9. When he believes that the true man is the gentleman.
The teacher’s desk needs a polished gentleman behind it.
The teacher has often been excluded from society because of his
lack of refinement and want of good manners. Such teachers do
no credit to their profession. The genuine teacher is an orna­
ment to society'and is always welcomed in its best, circles. Many
' pupils are dependent almost entirely upon the example of the
teacher for their lessons in good manners. Rudeness of speech,
awkwardness of position, carelessness in dress and lack of civility
in the presence of pupils are offenses which cannot be condoned
in the teacher. Bad manners have their origin in a number of
causes. Lack of early training, want of thought, lack of ap­
preciation of good manners, and ill nature are each responsible for
many of the examples of impoliteness on the part of the teacher
daily witnessed in the school room. But no matter what the
cause of ill-manners may be, their effect is pernicious in the
lives of the pupils affected by them. It is questionable whether
a teacher can have a higher qualification than that of true polite­
ness. The honor of men is best preserved in those communities
where politeness has its full sway. True politeness is a blessing
as well as an ornament to society.
10. When he is willing to make teaching the chief concern of
his life.
To succeed in any calling so important and difficult as
teaching requires the best energies of men. Singleness of aim is
the password to success in every important enterprise. Many
fail in teaching who would otherwise succeed because of divided

8

THE NORMAL, SCHOOL HERALD

interests. A teacher is the better for recreation and diversion of
thought, but these must not so engross his time and energy as to
enlist any considerable amount of either. Society is the bane of
many a man’s success in teaching. The teacher who spends his
evenings in social dissipation instead of in daily preparation for
his work in the school room will never amount to much in his pro­
fession. Society has some claims on the teacher for its own and
the teacher’s sake, but its demands must not be great or it will
interfere with his fidelity to his school duties. The teacher who
wisely limits his social pleasures will find in the end that he has
been a great gainer in thus doing. By social diversions we do
not mean to include literary clubs and societies. These are help­
ful to the teacher and he is to be congratulated if his lot is cast
in a community where he has the opportunity to be a member of a
live literary circle. Business enterprises often engross too much
of the teacher’s time. Sometimes he finds it necessary to supple­
ment his salary by earnings secured from labor outside the school
room and he is not to be criticised too harshly for this if his
salary is so meager as to compel him to such a course in order to
make ends meet. But even under these circumstances it would
be wiser for him to fit himself for a position where the salary
would be sufficient to furnish him a good living with something
left over for a “ rainy day.” The experiences of life prove con­
clusively that the highest success is gained in teaching by those
who devote their lives to the fulfillment of its duties and allow as
few side drafts upon their energies as possible. Paul’s method of
obtaining holiness is a good maxim for the teacher who desires
success. Paul said of himself: “ This one thing I do.’;’ To be
a successful teacher is glory enough for any life. No one could
seek for higher honor or greater achievement. In order to reach
this success the energies of life must be bent in one direction. Like
the runner for the prize he who would succeed in teaching must
press toward the mark with all his strength. His eye must ever
be toward the goal and with unabated zeal he must press forward
until the mark is reached. There may be no shouting of the
multitude when the victory is won but the prize will be none the
less sure on that account.
n . When he is willing to do more than he is paid for doing.
The faithful teacher measures his service by the exactions of
conscience and not by the amount of his wages. Whether the

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

9

pay be much or little will make no difference in the amount or
character of his labor. The man who never does more than he is
paid for doing will never be listed with the world’s great teachers.
Self sacrifice is the price success w ill'ever demand of a teacher.
Only when the teacher does his best can he hope to succeed. If
he labors without compensation he must yet be faithful to the
interests of those who are given him to teach.
12. He must have faith in the divine nature of the call.
“ My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish
his w ork.” Every man who finds his true place in life is Godsent and he cannot succeed in any other. The last words of our
lately murdered President “ Not my will, O God, but thine be
done” should be the inspiration and purpose of every life. For
a man to feel that he is doing his work with God as his watch­
man and paymaster is the strongest possible motive for his doing
it well. To hold a commission for a special service from the
Lord of all the earth is an honor which should satisfy the aspi­
rations of the most ambitious of men. A commission from such
high authority cannot be accepted without a full apprehension of
the grave responsibility it enjoins, and when once accepted, it dare
not be laid down until life’s work is ended, except for reasons
which are thoroughly satisfactory to a God-fearing man. To be
a teacher in the truest and highest sense is to be a teacher for
life. To enlist in the great army of God-selected teachers means
that you shall bear the teacher’s armor so long as you are able to
carry it. Age does not disqualify for effective service in teach­
ing. Many of the best teachers in the land have passed the
threescore limit of years. In the councils of the nation it has
been found wise to retain the old man and it will be so found in
teaching. The teachers themselves have much to do with the
length of their tenure of service. W e cannot stop the wheels of
time, and the almanac is continually adding to our roll of years.
We may prevent time, however, from crushing our spirits and we
may keep young in thought and enthusiastic in action despite
the records of the chroniclers of the years. As you go forward
to life may it be with the thought that you bear in your hands a
commission with the seal of the great King upon it and that your
service is for Him.
And now I must bring this address to a close lest I weary your
patience with its length and confuse your minds with the multi-

10

THE} NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

tude of my counsels. In saying farewell to you I do it with
the hope that you are seriously impressed with the task that
lies before you and that you are ambitious to acquit yourselves
creditably in the important field of action which you have selected
for your life work. It may be possible that men may some day
cross the sea in vessels so skillfully constructed that the wildest
tempests will not so much as rock the ship in which they sail and
the voyage be made as quietly and peacefully as though they were
seated in the parlors of their own homes. This can never be true
however of the voyage of life nor would it be best if it could be
go. We hope for such a state in the future life but not here.
The storms are certain to rock our vessels and the sun will some­
times be hidden by the ciouds of sorrow which hover above us,
but the storms which threaten us will give us courage and strength
for new trials, and the sorrows which darken our day will mellow
our hearts for more sympathetic service. Wrhen these storms
come may they bring no shipwreck, and when the clouds darken
the sky over our heads may we realize that the sun is shining
gloriously beyond. I wish you success in your undertakings and
may your footsteps ever be led in the paths of the Lord, may the
spirit of the Lord guide you into wisdom’s ways. A t last when
school days and school duties are ended may you enter the great
school which is taught by the Divine Master, where the lessons
are never ended and where the voice of gladness shall never cease.

^Baccalaureate Sermon
(B y R e v . G . M . R e e d , N e w

v il l e ,

P a .)

After words of congratulation, the speaker referred to the
custom of delivering Baccalaureate addresses on such occasions,
stating that it was at once appropriate and suggestive. Appro­
priate because it afforded the opportunity to make emphatic some
of those things that are fundamental in thought, character and
life. Suggestive because of the modest, yet reverential recogni­
tion of that which is essentially Christian in education. The text
selected was Philippians.3: 13-14. .“ This one thing I do,” etc.
After years of patient toil and study you have attained the
goal of your aspirations. You, to-day, stand at life’s outlook.
To you the burdens, responsibilities, achievements, and rewards
of life are largely things of the future. Hence, what more fitting
on this occasion than that we should choose- a theme bearing on
your success or failure in the larger life on the threshold o f
which you are now standing. As we stand in the presence of the
text permit me to say, the spirit of ignoring the past is felt every­
where. Progress is the “ Shibboleth” of the hour. But, what
is true progress ? Is it material progress ? Is it mental culture
alone?' N o ! The only true progress is advance along the lines
of moral and spiritual growth— the heart, the conscience, the
will, must be educated and governed. The chief end of man is to
glorify God, and enjoy Him forever.
This one purpose was the ruling ambition of Paul’s life.
God’s purpose and Paul’s were identical.
1st. The method by which the Apostle’s purpose was ac­
complished.
(a)
Concentration of all eifort upon one purpose. “ This one
thing I do.” Failures in life are caused to a large extent by a
divided purpose. The various callings, or professions in life
teach us by analogy the value of specialized effort. Science, law,,
medicine, surgery and even theology have their specialists.
: (b) Ability to forget. “ Forgetting the things which are be­
hind.” Some one has said of another, “ He had a good forgettery.” This is not only the right and wise thing in our at­
tainment of character but it is absolutely needful. (1) We are
to forget the sacrifices we have made lest we be discouraged.
(2) Failures, blunders, and mistakes. (3) Past attainments. S elf
satisfaction— “ Bighead” has ruined many a man.

2d. Paul s attitude to the future. His purpose was the
highest possible moral ideal. “ I press toward the goal unto the
prize of the high calling of God which is in Christ Jesus.”
(a) Purpose of attaining. ‘ ‘Reaching forth.” Be a student.
Be conscientiously diligent in the use of spare moments for selfimprovement.
(b) Believe in your own destiny. That God has made you,
kept you for a purpose, and has a work for you to do. Make
an immediate endeavor to attain. The Apostle uses the present
tense. “ I press.”
(c) Strenuous endeavor. ‘ ‘I press toward the mark
(d) Hopeful result, ‘ ‘I press for the prize.”
You are to be congratulated upon living in an age and
country of great privileges and splendid possibilities of achieve­

Commencement
The twenty-eight members of the class of 1903 It^-d their
Commencement on Wednesday morning, June 24th. The first
oration was delivered by L. Dale Crunkleton. His subject was
‘‘ Personality.” Mr. Crunkleton showed how Napoleon brought
glory to the arms of France by his great personality. Such potent
personalities in men of the world enlarge the souls of people
with whom they come in contact. A s a noble personality
broadens men, so a shriveled personality makes men shrink into

themselves. These are natural gifts, yet they may be cultivated
by tact, and by bending impulses in the proper ethical direction.
Such personalities become blessings both to the people who
possess them and to the world.
Miss Maud Fulcher recited with effect and tenderness the
beautiful story from the German— “ The Swan Song.|; She'held
the attention of the audience under perfect control.
An essay on the Cambridge Poets was read by Miss Elizabeth
Cunningham. Miss Cunningham showed in her well prepared
essay a very interesting and original account of the lives and the
best works of Holmes, Longfellow, and Lowell.
EXTRACTS PROM T H E COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS BY R E V . HORACE
LINCOLN JACOBS, PASTOR OF R ID G E AVEN U E M ETH O ­
D IST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, H ARRISBU RG , PA.

It is the fancied function of poet and preacher to tell their age
the towering truths of each grand and awful time. To argue in
this presence that our day has its distinguishing duties, peculiar
perils and tremendous tasks is almost a Wasteful effort, doubtless
thankless, too. Lest I prick your curiosity to impatience and
“ draw out the thread of my verbosity finer than the staple of my
argument,” I address myself to the pleasant duty of naming to
you three life forces. Unless I mistake these furnish a complete
equipment for every man in any station in life. Unless history
has no lessons for us this hour, I can assure you they in their
proper relation are the most fundamental, essential and efficient.
One of these is mighty muscle, which I use to denote the
physical power of a healthy body. No state can grow, develop
its resources, maintain its trade, secure respect for its flag and
preserve its power and honor without a strong, vigorous citizen­
ship. For individual success, development, and mental effort,
every man needs a powerful body. How do We level mountains
and pierce the deep with tunnels, subdue to fertility vast forest
lands and promote world-wide enterprises of trade? How do we
defend our borders or complete some humanitarian, chivalrous
errand to an oppressed neighbor island without men of brawn
and sterling strength ? Mark you no brilliant brain works long
or shines often in a weak body, diseased or misused.
Ours is a period of delectable dissipations, under the surface
frequently veneered vices. Pursuit of them is ruinous. Indul­
gence by any whose work and station before society bring deserved

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

17

recognition is inexpressibly harmful to the community. For such
the cup of hemlock is decreed.
The second force that is in my thought is masterful mentality.
An intellect trained rather than learned, disciplined to think, to
reason, to master the laws of operation and make application of
the forces of nature and mind. Such mentality investigates for
itself, comprehends the subjects and applies all its knowledge to
utilitarian and beneficient purposes. The mind that knows the
laws of composition and separation of the component parts of a
dew drop, and all its potentialities, is masterful when it bids it
warm this capacious assembly room in the most biting winter’s
cold, lift your crowded elevator twenty floors, bear the products
of a hundred industries across the continent, screeching victory
on every mountain crest, and in face of contrary wind, tide, and
stream, carry men and merchandise to farthest lands.
Be not disheartened in face of peril, difficulty and big work,
for such mentality equals one plus 999 dull and witless men.
Hence I congratulate the Alumni on their princely privileges of
this institution and upon the work you are called to undertake
for society.
My third force is magnetic morality, which gives inspiration to
head and hand, objective of merit to all effort and crowns with
fadeless laurels the career and fidelity of every man. For body
and mind goodness is indispensable. It is requisite for effective
intellectual effort and life;,- Do you care to think rapidly, easily,
smoothly? to reason correctly, profoundly, closely? to judge with
equity and accurately ? It is never done so well until goodness
graces the life. I contend that no man thinks, reasons, remem­
bers with correctness and rapidity so long as sip poisons the
fountains of his being, a disturbed conscience weighs down, an­
noys, and interrupts the action of the mind and packs the re­
flective moments with fitful fear, loathing and shame.
Such morality is the source and strength of heroism, which is
other than the courage of brute force. To every man there comes
at some moment the call to take and support the right, like
Athanasius against the world, at the hazard of friends, of place,
of goods, of name and all but honor and God. To stand without
flinching in the face of opposition and all designed derision the
common euphoneous sentiments of the solidarity of society and
humanity’s duty are all too feeble to nerve the soul of man. As

I listened to the essayist’s words on Lowell I remembered his linesthat depict Cromwell’s conspicuous courage growing out of good­
ness rooted in God and his word,
“ The fate of England and of freedom once
Seemed wavering in the heart of one plain man ;
One step of his, and the great dial hand
Which marks the destined progress of the world
In the eternal round from Wisdom
To Higher Wisdom, had been made to pause
A hundred years. That step he did not take.”

These rough nuggets and uncut stones I throw in your lap.
for your enrichment. Hold them in working memory. I f you
seek to do much real and substantial good, you must be good in
yourself. Muscle alone is immense power undeveloped. With;
mentality it is used, but too often to destructive purposes. Mor­
ality makes power constructive. And now abideth muscle, men­
tality, morality, these three ; but the greatest of these is morality..

JULY 1903

J E & ito r ia l
With the end of another school year comes the question of an
overcrowded curriculum. President Eliot, of Harvard, said that
it is advisable for a child between the âges of twelve and seventeen
to remain out of school for an entire year. Other men who speak
upon educational matters with authority are repeating the same
thought. The time for a'reaction is at hand, By the method of
cramming which has obtained largely in our city schools, it seems
that such a false analogy as this has been followed : We can now
travel by rail four times as fast as our forefathers, so the child o f
today has four times the brain capacity as the child of the last
generation. Upon reasons, which, if analyzed, would prove
almost as mad as this, school authorities set about to get results.
And what are the results ? Brain-fevers and diseases of the nerves.
Almost any practicing physician will agree that the majority of
the wrecks of today come from nervous strain of some character.
Every boy and girl must be a wonder of mental mechanism ; they
must have prizes, medals, etc., in order to gain the applause of
the crowd. So they are pushed, drilled, and scolded, until their
poor little brains are all afire with things they do not comprehend.
Ten subjects are required when four are plenty. Does our modern
education make men and women ?, Where is the sound mind in
the sound body ? Where is the well-balanced brain and the welldeveloped body to meet the work of the world ?

The Commencement exercises of the Cumberland Valley State
Normal School were never more interesting nor creditable through­
out than they were this year. From the reception to the Senior
class on Saturday evening to the close of the alumni sociable on
Wednesday evening, every feature of the Commencement occasion
was a splendid success. The old chapel in its new dress was a
source of astonishment and delight to the old students who were
revisiting the school. The new library room called forth many
expressions of commendation and pleasure.

Every student of the Ç. V . S. N. S. recommended by the
faculty to the State Board for examination was passed. The
examiners were highly pleased with the excellent work being
done in the several departments, and they were also loud in their
praises for the good order and fine conduct of the students during
the examination.
The Model School entertainment was a gratifying success this
year. Each year the people wonder how this entertainment can
possibly come up to the standard -of the previous year, and each
year the people are agreeably disappointed. It is only fair to say
that the Model School entertainment this year eclipsed all previous
records.
The musical and literary entertainment reflected great credit
upon the students taking part and the teachers under whose
directions these students were prepared. It was the general
opinion of those competent to judge that the music was of a better
class than the music which has usually been rendered at these
entertainments and also that it was finely executed. The literary
numbers were well given and the selections were all of fine liter­
ary merit. Miss Heath, the teacher of elocution, gave several
numbers herself. These selections were well received by the
audience and established for Miss Heath a fine reputation as a
public reader.
The art exhibit was pronounced by those who saw it, and it

22

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

was witnessed by a great many people, to be very fine. The re­
sults in this department have been very satisfactory during the
year. Most of our Juniors have had the privilege of taking draw­
ing lessons every day throughout the entire year. When they
come to teach the subject in the Model School and afterwards in
schools of their own they will be well prepared for their work.

The reunions of the different classes were very pleasant affairs.
The class of 1893 did great credit to itself in the programme
rendered and in the numbers present. The banquet of this class
was very enjoyable, and all left the banquet hall with renewed
devotion to and love for the old Cumberland Valley State Normal
School. Seventy-eight graduates, most of them members of the
.class of -1.901,. received their second diplomas. Many of them
were present on Commencement Day to receive their diplomas in
person. The reunion of the class of 1901 was a fine success in
its every feature. The class left with the school as a memorial of
their devotion to its interests five splendid portraits of American
authors. These portraits were suitably framed and now adorn
the walls of the new library room.
'

The attendance during the year of 1902-03, notwithstanding
the influence of the new course of study upon the size of the
Senior class, reached about the same numbers as were enrolled
the year previous. This attendance is very gratifying to every
person interested in the school’s success. It manifests the great
hold the Cumberland Valley State Normal School has upon the
confidence of the people included in the territory from which it
secures its patronage.
The graduates and students of the Cumberland Valley State
Normal School will confer a favor upon the Normal School of
their choice by sending to Principal G. M. D. Eckels, the names
and addresses of any persons of their acquaintance who are con­
templating a Normal School course in the near future. Any in­
formation they can give which will assist the Principal in keeping up the attendance of the school will be greatly appreciated by
him.

Hlumni privilege ant) IResponsibilitv
(Address delivered by Prof. Lehman before the Allumni Association.)

I feel much pleasure in being permitted to visit again at Com­
mencement time the scenes endeared to me by many fond memo­
ries, and to mingle once more with those whom I knew intimate­
ly as a student or a teacher. I feel honored in being invited to
address my fellow Alumni upon this occasion, and I trust I need
not apologize if I depart in my choice of subject somewhat from
the themes usually discussed upon occasions like this, and ,
Speak instead upon some matters which much concern us as an
Alumni Association.
The month of June is especially devoted to the cause of edu­
cation. Not only does the old order pass and the new begin in
school and college, but the silent, though forceful movements in
educational matters become manifest. They are voiced in the
utterances of College President and School Principal, of graduate
and under-graduate. Undoubtedly the most striking feature of
the Commencements of this year is the prominence assumed by
the Alumni organizations. The cause is not far to seek. New
occasions with their new duties have arisen ; forces are at work
that must be reckoned with in carrying on the work of school
and college. The small college and preparatory school find their
very existence threatened by the growth of the larger universities
and preparatory schools with their immense endowments and
great opportunities. In the hour of peril a small institution has
appealed to its Alumni. The appeal has been heard and college
and school alike report the largest attendance of graduates in
their history. Pledges of loyalty, of greater interest have been
given, and the Alumni have organized themselves for more
effective and systematic work in behalf of the institutions whose
name they bear. This quickening and invigorating of the gradu­
ate bodies mean much for the small institutions. It means in­
creased endowment, but it means more than that. Great uni­
versities may flaunt their millions of endowment, and display
their roll of renowned and titled specialists ; the small college is
secure as long as it has the earnest support of a body of loyal
Alumni.
The existence of our Alma Mater is fortunately not threatened
by any forces from without. Her mission is a unique one, and
so long as she confines herself to it, she will do a work that no

24

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

other school can do. The causes that have led to awaken alumni
interest in other schools may seem to be wanting in this one. It
is the duty of the State to support the Normal Schools, hence we
feel no anxiety along the line of her endowment. The diploma
of the school is made valid by law, and the course of instruction
is uniform in all the State Normal Schools. Why need we concern
ourselves about the matter? We all wish the school well, and
we recognize its growth with feelings of satisfaction and pride,
but we have our positions and need no help from the school; the
school prospers and does not demand our active assistance.
Without arguing the*merits of these propositions, which in
substance obtain with many of us, it may be confidently asserted
that the Alumni of no institution have greater'need for a vigorous,
thorough organization than have those of a State Normal School.
From these walls more than fifteen hundred men and women
have gone forth. Many of these have won high place and position
for themselves. In theory every graduate who aspires to teach
ought to be a leader in the profession of teaching, for with what
other ambition did he take a course at a school whose special
object it is to furnish to the State a band of trained and well
equipped teachers.
Those who have turned to other lines of labor, whether, as in
the case of our men of business or professional careers, or as in
the case of so many of our women, to glorify a home, cannot
cease to feel an interest in that labor in which they were once en­
gaged. In view then of this numerically strong body of men and
women constituting the Alumni of the C. V . S. N. S., we ask,
does it exert the influence of which it is capable ? Does it speak
with the force of fifteen hundred graduates of a School of Daw or
of Medicine ? Is it asking too much of this Alumni body, to ask
that its influence upon educational matters should be somewhat
like that of a similar body of other professional men and women ?
Our influence or lack of influence may best'be gauged by specific
illustrations. The teacher must depend upon the State for much
that belongs to his work. The length of term, the branches
taught, the qualifications of teachers, and even their pay are con­
trolled by the State, subject of course to local modification.
When educational matters are before our legislature, all interests,
save those of the teachers, are represented. It is doubtless wise
that the teacher should not appear as.a lobbyist, but shall he re-

TETE NORMAL, SCHOOL HERALD

25

main unheard, ought he not to speak through an Association ?
Ought not the Alumni Association of this school to speak with
directness to the representatives of the county of this district ?
It goes almost without saying, that the teacher must not hope
to find his entire reward in the salary paid, and it is equally true
that no profession can find favor through legislative enactment||||
but it is even more true that the salary paid to any body of men
and women is a fair index to their appreciation by the public.
The influence of a teacher in a community'is not unfairly gauged
by his salary. A town that pays its teachers practically the same
wages that its citizens pay for domestic labor, need not wonder
why its schools do not advance. I f there is one thing that
should appeal to us as a body, it is the question of salary— not
alone for selfish reasons, strong as these are, but for the general
uplifting of the service. Yet when a bill was before the legisla­
ture at its recent session, those most vitally interested were
silent. The representatives of a county materially prosperous
within our Normal School district announced that though person
ally favorable to this measure, they could not vote for it, because,
though they received many letters from their constituents asking
them to vote against it, yet not one request to vote for it was
received. There are more than three hundred of our Alumni in
that county, and yet not one voice raised in behalf of a bill that
meant so much as a first step.
A ll honor to those who by voice and pen plead the cause of
the teacher. Even if the appeal was made to pity rather than
justice. Hard must be our condition when it moves the pity of
even the Philadelphia legislators, but if we would win victories
we must be aggressive and prepared to rest our appeal on the
justice of our cause.
W e need a more thorough organization to extend the influ­
ence of our school. It is a commonplace that the strength of
any school lies in its Alumni, but the corollary that the value
of the individual diploma in any community is determined by the
influence of. the Alumni body, by the reputation which the
Alumni have made in that community, is often overlooked. Our
organization ought to be so thorough that it would enable the
graduate of ’74 to clasp hands with the graduate of 03 on the
grounds of membership in a common body. We ought to know
one another in order to organize for mutual advantage, zeal-

ous at all times to promote the interest of a fellow Alumnus.
I f our Association has not measured up to the full standard
of its usefulness, if it has not shown the enthusiasm that
it ought to show, let us be careful to lay the blame
where it belongs. It does not belong to the officers; they
have labored faithfully to advance its interests. Their task
has been no light one; they are indeed the kind of officials
of whom Plato and Aristotle dreamed; for the offices have
sought them. Ought it not to be regarded as an honor for any
one to be chosen to the leadership of this body and one worth
seeking? The fault lies with us as individuals, and until we re­
solve that we will make the graduate body of this school the
power that it deserves to be, the officers will be powerless to do
more than they have done. This is not the occasion to discuss
means of making our Alumni Association more vigorous and
effective, but they are not far to seek. It may be said that we
ought first of all to put ourselves in close touch with one another
by supporting the official journal of the school— The Normal
Herald. How extended would be its sphere of usefulness if every
member of the Association were on the subscription list, what a
message it would bring to us ! We need a closer organization of
the classes with historians such as a few, but only too few of the
classes already have. We have had county organizations; they
will be strengthened and enlarged when we feel how helpful they
may be made.
And lastly, closer organization will do much to foster the
days when we were boys and girls within these walls. It is by
no figure of speech that we claim this is the consummation most
to be desired of all.
“ For him in vain the envious seasons roll
Who bears eternal sunshine in his soul.”

This sunshine of youth, when life was fair, when ideals were
high, and the future seemed resplendent with the promise of
hone, is the best antidote to the illusions of the years that have
gone and the disappointments of the present.
Fellow members of the Alumni, if there should seem to be a
dogmatic note in what has been uttered, we must plead that there
is no such intention; if there has been a prosaic presentation of
some matters we must plead a desire to be specific. We do not
wish to be pessimistic, but rather to raise the inquiry whether

there are not better things for us to do. For your speaker may
plead an intense interest in all that pertains to this institution.
He remembers how when sixteen years ago, a boy fresh from the
farm, he entered the old Chapel for the first time he felt that the
greatest honor that could ever be conferred upon him would be
to stand upon that platform and there receive the diploma of the
School. He has not yet changed that opinion, for it was from
this very summit that he first looked into the lands beyond and
felt the desire to know what lay there. No place should be so
valuable, so rich in memories, as that which determined our sub­
sequent life. When this spirit animates us, our Alumni Associa­
tion will be not only numerically strong, but vigorous and active
in all that makes an orginization a force and power.

/iDo&el School Entertainment
S h ip p e n s b u r g N e w s .

The entertainment given in Normal Chapel, on Friday, June
5th, by the Model School, was acknowledged to be one of the
best ever the public witnessed. Too high a compliment cannot
be paid to the faithful teachers, Miss McBride, the principal, and
Miss Burns her assistant, for their perfect work in this depart­
ment of our Normal School. A t the same time too much praise
cannot be bestowed upon the pupils, for the excellent and most
creditable manner in which each and every one acquitted himself
and herself, on this pleasant occasion.
I f we had any fault whatever to find with the exercises, (we
want to be honest, or as honest as we consistently can), it was
that they were somewhat too lengthy. Not so much so, perhaps
for the audience, as it was for those taking part. This indeed
was the only change, or improvement, we would have suggested
had we been catechised, or examined as to thè general make up
and rendering of the exercises.
The opening march and vocal polka with Miss Fthel Middlecoff presiding at the piano, was as pretty a thing as ever wit­
nessed. The sea of beautiful roses and flowers, wreaths and
bouquets, as they looked like a dangling floor above the children’s
heads, were too pretty for a hand and mind like ours to attempt
to describe; while the closing exercise, ‘‘The Vestal Virgins and
Sybil,” was very prettily executed and could not have well been
left off the program, especially, so the audience thought after
hearing it. Without attempting to comment on the different
numbers we give the program as rendered.

Base Ball
The baseball season for 1903 at C. V . S. N. S. was one of the
most successful in the history of the institution. liven the
financial side of the sport has been handled in such a business­
like manner that the year ended with a snug balance as a nucleus
for next year’s athletics.
A grand stand has been built, and the field has been kept in
first-class condition. Our infield is one of the best in the valley.
Both the students and the school authorities have been untiring
in their efforts to contribute toward these ends.
The team has been a winner. Out of the eleven games played
we lost three and those on account of adverse conditions which
cannot be given in detail here.
The first game was at Mercersburg, April 18th. The Normal
team had the game won until the last inning, and then by a misplay Mercersburg second won out by the score of 6-5.
On April 25th we journeyed to Carlisle and played the Pre­
paratory School. Mellinger pitched great ball, and we took the
game by the score of 5— 1.
May 2nd the strong Lindner team of Carlisle came to Shippensburg. We won by 10— 5.
Chambersburg Academy came to Shippensburg May 4th.
It was soon evident that they were not in our class. A few of
our second team were sent into the field. The band played to
the tune of 26— 1.
On the following Saturday the Preparatory School from Dick­
inson came to Normal equipped for a strong game. They suf­
fered almost as much as the Academy. We took them into camp
by the score of 2L—6.
On May 15th the Dickinson Reserves arrived in Shippens­
burg with the determination to end our string of victories
They played a good game but were weak at critical times.

Simpson, a Dickinson ’Varsity player, was batted all over the
lot. They lost to us by the score of 13— 6.
Mercersburg 2nd met the Normal team on the latter’s ground
May 23rd. Mercersburg played fast ball, and being confident
because of their former victory early in the season, they supposed
our aggregation had not reached their standard. The game had
not been long in progress until the fact was evident that it was
ours. Score, 6— 1.
On Decoration Day we scalped the Indian Reserves, and sent
them back to their wigwams. They left the wampum belt as a
token of our victory. The score was 7— 4.
Carlisle High School came our way June 6th. This was the
fifth team which came from Carlisle. They reported the same
tale of woe which the others wailed. Score, 8— 2.
With eight consecutive games to our credit, the Normal team
was stopped in its march to triumph by Waynesboro, June 13th.
We lost by the close score of 6— 5.
On June 17th the Shippensburg Athletics with the aid of
several hired players and two men of the regular Normal team,
defeated our combination by the small score of 3— 2.

3fieR> Sports
Under the direction and perseverance of Prof. Morris, a num­
ber of students were induced to train for putting the shot, running,
hurdling and pole vaulting. The events were run off on Monday

“ Simplicity is a state of mind. It dwells in the main intentention of our lives. A man is simple when his chief care is the
wish to be what he ought to be, that is honesty and naturally
human. And this is neither so easy nor so impossible as one
might think. A t bottom, it consists in putting our acts and as­
pirations in accordance with the law of our being and conse­
quently with the Fternal Intention, which will that we should be
at all. Ret a flower be a flower, a swallow a swallow, a rock a
rock, and let a man be a man, and not a fox, a hare, a hog, or a
bird of prey; this is the sum of the whole matter.”

THE} NORMAL, SCHOOL HERAUD

/Ibotber’s jface
Three little boys talked together
One sunny summer day,
And I leaned out of the window
To hear what they had to say.
“ The prettiest thing I ever saw,”
One of the little boys said,
“ Was a bird in grandpa’s garden,
All black, and white, and red.”
“ The prettiest thing I ever saw,”
Said the second little lad,
“ Was a pony at the circus—
I wanted him awful bad.”
“ I think,” said the third little fellow,
With a grave and gentle grace,
“ That the prettiest thing in all the world
Is -just my mother’s face.”
JZ?

Mben Everything Goes Mrong
It is easy enough to be pleasant
When life flows by like a song,
But the man worth while is the one who will smile
When everything goes wrong.
For the test of the heart is trouble,
And it always comes with the years,
And the smile that is worth the praises of earth
Is the smile that shines through tears.
It is easy enough to be prudent
When nothing tempts you to stray,
When without or within no voice of sin
Is luring your soul away.
But its only a negative virtue
Until it is tried by fire,
And the life that is worth the honor of earth
Is the one that resists desire.
By the cynic, the sad, the fallen,
Who had no strength for the strife,
The world’s highway is cumbered to-day—
They make up the item of ilife;
But the virtue that conquers passion,
And the sadness that hides in a smile—
It is these that are worth the homage of earth,
For we find them but once in a while.
— E lla Wheeler Wilcox.

UPSI NUS COLLEGE
C O L L E G E V IL L E , PA.
(24 miles from Philadelphia)

When Garfield said that “ a log with
Mark Hopkins on one end and him­
self on the other was a sufficient
university for him,” it was not the
logthatwasuppermost in his thought.
He was thinking of Hopkins and
himself. Hopkins was a good teacher and he was a
good learner. Good teaching and good learning are of
primary importance in an educational institution. Equip­
ment, though important, is secondary.
Ursinus has an excellent equipment, but ever places
the emphasis on the teaching and learning. The college
authorities have brought together a faculty of strong
teachers — university-trained men, scholars who are
specialists in their departments. These professors are
doing good teaching every day. In proportion as the
students are good learners will the College send out
strong graduates.
The Cumberland Valley State Normal School can
produce good learners. Has it made a good learner of
you? If so, come to Ursinus for your college course,
and there can be no doubt about the results. If you are
not a good learner, perhaps the College can make one of
you. Good teachers, strong courses, and fine equip­
ment are very inspiring. Write to the President for a
catalogue and get the facts.
