PRINCIPAL’S LETTER TO THE ALUMNI
Dear Friends: .
If there i^jbne portion of the .school year that is^jikely to be
uneventful, .it is the first two months of the new ||mester. The
period just closed has been no exception to the general rule; the
opening of the second semester made scarcely affipple on the
surface of. our school work. It is true, that we lost twenty-two
students by graduation (thislargest mid-year class we have ever
graduated), but, their places were filled by other students whose
programs were easily adjusted—and in the course of a few days
everything was moving along smoothly.
We miss- Dr. Ileiges as he is absent on leave to take a post
graduate course at New York University a'nd Mr. Gilbert who
has; accepted a position on the faculty of Girard College. He
will|take post graduate work at the University of Pennsylvania.
As noted elsewhere his- place was filled ,by the selection of Mr.
Grand Beckmyer, head of the science department of the Wayne
High School. ^Miss Ida Brenna of Austin, Texas, also joined the
faculty as an instructor in penmanship.
The outstanding social event of the past three months was the

2

T he N ormal S chool H erald

reception given by the Trustees to the first year students on
Saturday night, February 19. Though the weather man furnished
■ the worst weather of the year, blocking the roads with eighteen
inches of snow, the reception was largely attended.
The months just ahead will be crowded with interesting events,
Thè first of these will be the Reunion of the Philo Literary
Society on ’¿Friday,. April xScònsiderably earlier than usuati;
Easter Vacation wilSpègin April 8, and will end on the nine­
teenth. The Choral Club will give its; annual entertainment on
Thursday evening, April 28, and the Normal Literary Society will
celebrate its fifty-fourth anniversary on Friday evening, May 6.
j§The;;Jhter-County Track and Field meet will be held on Eckels
Field, Saturday, May 14, and then the Commencement Season
opens. The Training School fires the first gun on Thursday
evening, June | | but the Big Day for old Normal follows on
Saturday^-June 4 This will be Cla|s and Alumni Day.
The usual Clas|f!Day Exercises will be held on the Campus at
9:30; lunch follows at 12:00 and at 1:30 the Alumni Procession
will move across the Campus. The Alumni Reunion will be held
at two o’clock and at four o’clock the baseball game between
the Varsity and Alumni teams will be played. Class Reunions will
fill in the time between 5:30 and 8 :oo. Then the Alumni Play
■will hold the boards until 10 :o0 o’clock, after which will follow
the Alumni Reception and Dance. At 11:4 5 the orchestra will
play the finale and the day will be regarded as closed.
The Baccalaureate Services will be held in the Auditorium on
Sunday-evening at 8:00 o’clock and the Commencement Exercises
at 9 :oo o’clock. Monday morning will mark the end of the official
school year.
-. T h e vacation will not be long for on the following Monday the
nine weeks summer session will open and halls and class rooms
will be crowded until August 13.
H f h e perspnnel’iof the summer session student body will differ
rather, markedly from that.' of previous sessions. The majority
of the students! will be men and women of considerable teaching
experience and ability. They will be teachers in service who wish
to secure a renewal of a partial elementary certificate, a state
standard certificate or a Normal School certificate. To these will
be added a large.body of Alumni—graduates of the two and three
year courses...who will return to begin work on the four year
course with the B. S. degree. We* are gratified that so many of
these men and women will return to us. There will be a few
recent graduates of high schools without teaching experience
whose superintendents have requested ¿heir admission because
of the need of their services, but nearly all of these young people
will defer entering until September when they will enroll in
either the two or the four year course.

The enrollment for the fall is the largest in our history. We
shall not be able to accommodate all of our students in the campus
dormitories. I f any of your friends expect to corné to us have
them register at once so that they may be able to secure pleasantly
located rooms. After our dormitories are filled we shall.,secure
rooms for students in private houses in Shippensburg.
The registration in the four year course is most gratifying.
It has passed all expectations and in the near future we<||hall
have as many in the four year as in the two year course.
We appreciate your aid in helping us secure high grade men
and women in both the two and the four year courses. Last year’s
entering class was the finest in our history.
Finally, don’t forget the class reunions. Elsewhere we have
given a b rie f. statement of the plans of the reunion classes as
far as they have been developed. Let us make the approaching
Commencement Season the biggest and the best in our history.
Fraternally yours,
E zra L eh m a n , '89.

THE SUMMER SESSION
Registrations continue to pour in for the summer session and
we realize that the attendance will be larger than had been antici­
pated. Though ninety percent' of the .teachers of our service
area have met the requirements of the State in regard to standard
certification, many of the holders of State Standard-: Certificates
will return to take work necessary for a Normal School Cer­
tificate. A still larger group will be composed of graduates of
the two and three year course who wish iff) complete the four year
course leading to the B. S. degree.
Our program will be especially arranged to meet the needs of
these' students for we are particularly gratified at the interest
shown by our Alumni in the advanced courses:. The day is not
far distant, when the teacher who has completed: the four year
course will have a great advantage over those who were satisfied
with the two year course. We receive requests daily for informa­
tion in regard to the advanced two year B. S. course from our
Alumni. iF 'o r this reason we reprint ail article that appeared in
the October issue of the Herald. Those who wish to take the
course fitting for Junior (or. Senior) High School teaching should
write indicating in what subjects they wish to major. They
should also give .the following information in casei'Jhey have
attended other institutions since- leaving Normal: School at­
tended—date,. branches studied, number of weeks, number of
recitations per week, length of recitation, grade received. I f this
information is given when the student writes to us, it will be pos-

4

T he N ormal S chool H erald

sible to evaluate the work taken and to inform the student how
long it will take him to complete the'desired -course.
We shall offer the courses- listed on pages 7 and 8. These
coursgl will suit the,:needs of aÌT classes of'students?; those who
wish to renew a partial elementary' certificate,. to secure a state
standard, Normal School certificatefor to: take work leading to
the adyancedytwo^yearffl B. S || course or to the completion of
the four year (B. S.) course.
|viPh|:;lattehtionMf students just completing the four year high
school course is again called to the fact that they can be admitted
to the i|summer -slsffon for the purpose of securing a partial
elementary certificate only when written r e q u ill isT;made by a
superintendent for their admission. Such students should consult
the superintendent of the borough or county in which they expect
to teach before registering and ascertain whether in the judgment
of the superintendent their services will be needed as teachers
next year :

2. All-’credits^ for work le || than that required at a State
¿flljifrmal S c h o S for graduation between September 1920,
and September‘ .1926, shafflbe evaluated by multiplying

As far as pofible students shqfid fill out their . programMn
advance of their arrival' at Normal. Thi^fwilL enable thet schooj
authorities to arrange for the required number of ^classes in ad­
vance and thus'avoid overcrowding of classes. It is- ¿specially
desirable that this should be done in the advanced two year course

doubtedly be selected by a large number of students whileTothers
may be taken by . comparatively few. If Dean H sig^ikpow ain.'

SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE SUMMER SESSION
Those who are familiar with the location of the Shipgensburg
Normal School? need not be told that its environment is -all that
could be .desired % aSu d en t seeking pleasure apw ell as instruc­
tion during the summer session.
The buildings, are elevated above the surrounding country thus ■
affording a fine view of the valley. The North and South moun­
tains loom up oil either side of the school.
The rpom pare airy, and comfortable on the hottest days of
midsummer. More than two-thirds of the dormitory rooms have
been modernized, the class rooms have been renovated and the
dining room suggests the comfort and attractiveness of the dining
halls of the best summer hotels. Then too the dining room service
and the food will challenge comparison with the food and service
of institutions whose rates are much higher than those charged
here.
Socialp are provided for the student body,. Vesper services
addressed by outstanding men and women are'held out ofjfjoots
on Sunday evenings'; and four high class entertainments free to
the students are given during the summer session. During the
coming session, V. L. Granville, Gay Zenola McLaren and the
Arion Quartette will., appear. In addition the students willpelect
one number from the .Swarthmore Chautauqua list of entertain­
ments'.,.
Students interested in muSic will-have the Opportunity of play­
ing in the band or orchestra and enrolling id. the Choral Society.
Membership in any of these organizations insures valuable free
musical training. Students who wish to take special instruction
in voice, piano, or violin can doAso at à moderate cost. . Such
students should indicate in advance of their coming their desire
to take this work.
Students interested in newspaper work will be given the op­
portunity to serve on the staff of the Summer Campus Reflector,
the weekly student publication. The Country L ife Club will be
open to all students interested in rural education.
N Tennis courts in sufficient number are available for all students.
Baseball teams will be organized and a series of games played.
The coming summer session bids fair to be one of the most
successful -iii the history of the school.

ENROLLMENT FOR THE FALL TERM
During the past month registration Jfdr the, fall term has been
keeping pace, with that for theKummerpession. . N ever before
have so many firsïjyear students'been enrolled at this season of
the year. Though we shall be able to accommodate thirty more
boarding studentf next year because of the renovations and ad­
ditions to the Main Building, we realize that we shall not be
able to accommodate late registrants' with rooms iti the d o rm i­
tories. For this reason young men and women who desire rooms
on the campus should register at once. The unexpectedly^ large
registration in the four year course is still further indicative of
the conditions that ,wiif confront us. "Fortunately we can ac­
commodate almost five hundred in our dining room. This will
make it possible for us to accommodate a larger group of board­
ing students by securing rooms for them in private families and
having them board in the dining room.
We shall continue to offer the two year courses ’ in primarykindergarten, intermediate and rural work. A certificate is issued
at the close of these courses which after'tw o years of successful
teaching is validated as â life diploma.
_
’
The four year courses with the B. S. degree fit for Junior (or
Senior) High School positions or supervisory places.
It ;is interesting to note that the enrollment of men students has
increased materially since the adoption of the four year courses.
The advanced' registration shows the largesjpercèntage of men
we have ever enrolled.

CHANGES IN FACULTY
As noted elsewhere Dr. J.
Hinges is absent on leave during
the second semester at New York University. He ivill return to
take up his work at the beginning of the summer .session.
Mr. Levi Gilbert, who has been dean of men and assistant in
science since 1922, left us on February ifjjto accept a position in
Girard College. He expect|§to be able to take post graduate
work at the University of Pennsylvania. Mr. Gilber|Jwas ^liked
by the entire student body and all join in best wishes to him in
his new field.
$ « ^ r . Gilbert’s place has been filled by Mr. Grand Beckmyer who
has been ’head o f the science department in the Wayne High
School during the past five years. He has recently received his

“NEWSH” BENTZ WILL RETURN TO NORMAL
IN JUNE
The many friends of genial and popular Coach Bentz will be
gratified to learn that all arrangements have been completed for
his return to Normal. He will receive his Master degree in edu­
cation and has sent word that he expects to find a big group of
men interested in Physical Education at Normal next year. He
believes that the Normal teams will give a good account of them­
selves in the three major sports next year.

CLASS REUNIONS
We are looking forward with much interest to the coming
Alumni Day, Saturday, June 4.
Last year the Class of ’96 came back with a rush. They had
their band-—and besides the band they had banners, class songs,
yells,.and a general assortment of “pep” that made the town of
Shippensburg and the Alumni sit up and take notice. The class
was proud of itself and its members freely boasted that they “had
licked all the other ninety’ classes to a frazzle” as far as at­
tendance at thirty year reunions was concerned.
We shall all be interested in seeing what answer ’97 makes to
their challenge. Superintendent Eisenhart of Tyrone, President
of that class, is on the job. He has written to all the members of
the class and is stirring them up, not only to equal the attendance
of ’96 but to surpass it. He has a job on his hands but those of
us who know friend Eisenhart know that he will do everything in
his power to put across the biggest thirty year reunion ever cele­
brated hergy In the meantime we know that President Gress and
Herman Hege who staged the big come back last year will be on
hand to make comparisons. Go to it, boys!
But why talk about “ infants” wjien we have the class of ’77 on
the job. We recently saw a letter from our friend J. L. McCaskey
the man who put Pittsburgh on the map” in which he is whooping things up for the fiftieth year reunion of his class—and
McCaskey is a hustler. He is planning to round up every living
member of his class for June 4. As usual the fifty and the forty
year classes will be the guests of honor on Alumni Day and one
of the members of ’77 remarked, “ I f ’87 turns out as we are
going to, there’ll be a lot of honoring on that day.” :Well, we
wonder what ’87 will do. We beiieve that Honorable J. L. Young
and Principal C. J. Walter can be depended upon to bring back
the children of ’87 to the fold.
We have heard reports that show that ’92 will be on hand and
we hear ’02 is looking after a place where they may sit down
together at a good meal and talk things over again. We know

T'h#.'N ormal S chool H erald'

that ’07 has not forgotten its twentieth reunion and we learn that
’12 is marking June 4, on its. calendar. ’ 17 was a good class and
we don’t doubt that, there will be a. big turnout from its member­
ship. Though we haven’t heard much about ’22 and 25, we assume
that they’ll be on hand with banners?!songs, and class yells..
Yes, .let us all get back and make it a good day. The Herald
willflbe glad to do all in its1 power to help along with the plans.
The following rooms .have been asigned classes as meeting places
on June 4:

WANTED— A LIBRARY BUILDING
Yes, we have one,-but it is part of the Administration Building
and students^who want to see it must first see our Chapel.
Probably the trip through the Chapel is conducive to a proper
frame of mind necessary for effective reading and study,, but Un­
fortunately :the Chapel is in use two hours every week during

T h e N ormal S chool H erald

25

school hours-;. It p liin constant demarid for rehearsals, meetings,
lectures, concerts;-: etc. During these times it is of course im­
possible for anyone g o use the, .library.
Consequently during
certain hours the library is jammed with a large crowd of students
who 'Mould not Use it during their free periods.
The library H the big laboratory g |f tl|| ¡school and our six
hundred studeng need a much, larger and more commodious build-,
ing for this purpose.
.
I 1 , MR
We have asked the Legislature to appropriate the fundfP § |li
will enable us to house our books so that all will be available to
the students, so that the library can be in use twelve ,hours a day.
Then t<|9 we want our Library to|pe; hotìsed in a building of
which we can all be proud. We have reason to hope that our
request>.for funds will be granted and that next year we may see
a fine library building added to, our campus structures.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL LIBRARY
To show what the library department means to the student
and the teacher is the object of the April number of the Herald.
It is the first number of this school publication devoted wholly
to a discussion ■ oLsuch a topic, and therefore ¡the argument is
clear that a changed attitude exists toward the library. What has
brought it about ?
Nothing more than the usual effect produced by the general
change in educational functioning—an attitude of research,:, of.
delving, of seeking opinions of others, of comparing these opinions,
and forming one-si own. The day o f the carefully. memorized
textbook i l l past, and in its place we are having a richer ex­
perience of real study, of careful questioning, and of reasoning
out the reply. We cannot do this unless: we have plenty of
material to work with, and th|| the library must’-supply. It dOe||
so through a larger and larger selection of books and magazines,
both general and special in character, and made more and more
'¿Accessible, in spite of increasingly crowded conditions. The budget, therefore, is increased to meet the need, the hours
of opening are lengthened, so .that all may have time for study,
boobs are placed B n reserve j r a m a k S aMignmeni^ ;:^aflable
promptly, and trained help is constantly seeking more andj-better
ways of getting the right material in the hands of the worker. In
other words, the library is the king-pin of the school machinery,
the working unit which draws all other departments together, and
upon which they muSt; depend.
/
There are many ways by which the library .seeks to meet the
need of the student, beside the usual method of circulating books
and magazines both in the room and for home Use; The daily

26

T he N ormal S chool H erald

routine of charging and discharging books need not be emphasized,
except to say that statistics’of circulation show a constant, steady
increase;/; Some of thé more-popular features may, however, be
properly dwelt upoh) sp? that the: interest of the former graduate
may be aroused to the growth and change that is taking place in
the school.
In the first place, the library is-far from being a dead place—
it is a live center of interest every hour Of the day. The evenings
too, see an even greater patronage, for it is often, crowded to
more: than capacity, and the overflow are obliged tl|É find seats
outside in the chapel.
The big. bookcase in the middle of the room is: one of thé first
objects to draw attention. Here are'shelved all the small books
of reference, such as Who’s Who, World Almanac, Statesman’s
Yearbook, Index to Fairy Tales, Europa Yearbook, etc. Two
largo encyclopedias also find place here, and that best friend and
true, the Readers’ Guide to Periodical Literature. This central
case' is in order only once a day. The rest of the time it may ap­
peal untidy tó the outsider, ..but not to the librarian or teacher
who realizes that a book has a reason for being only when it is
in use. Questions are answered; by the hundred through this
compact collection of general andllpecial reference material, and
students familiarize themselves with the books most necessary in
forming a school library when they go out to teach.
• Another , collection of a current nature, constantly drawn upon,
is the clipping file. Begun a little over three years ago, it has
completely : outgrown the two large Library Bureau filing cases
provided to contain it. Every sort of scrap material from dis­
carded magazines and newspapers, as well as free material
obtained from traveler’s agencies, mercantile, corporations» and the
like, is gathered together in folders and arranged alphabetically
'under topic. Already over 400 different subject headings are
represented, and in the course of every day, students may be found
eagerly searching for the latest information on geographical,
historical, political, social and descriptive, subjects..
Two or three times, a year this: file is carefully looked over for
material which has been : superseded by later publications, and
this is discarded. In this way, the collection may be considered
fairly up-to-date, and' savèsi much space in the matter of filing back
numbers of periodicals,—a problem of no little seriousness in our
present limited quarters.
Another collection that affords gratification to all classes of
students, but especially to those who are doing their first teaching,
is the picture file. We have at . present nearly :2piiS§; mounted
pictures, and every day new ones, are being added. These are
taken from só many different sources that it would seem impossible
to believe that anything of a “ visual edücation”jS)rder had been

T he N ormal S chool H erald

27

allowed to escape the’ vigilant eye of the* librarian doing the
clipping. In spite of that, however, much duplicate matter i s »
turned over to the pupils, who in their, turn add t,<Di their private
collection' of. clippings, and these Ultimately find their way into
booklets and scrap books of their own.
The mount used, for the pictures, is of lightweight chip-board,
neutral in color, and stiff enough to hold itself up without curling
corners, when on exhibition. Fpr the development of letpg| plans
and projects,; this part, of the library equipment seems to .be in­
dispensable, and the requests that we have failed to answer by this
means have ’been few. The student helpers take great interest
in watching the growth of the collection, and to their neat-. ?
fingered .diligence in pasting and arranging, the library owes its
rapid increase in thisJiirect.ipn.
Another point, of interest :fsft:the new bulletin board. li'e-retofore we have had a small one, hanging oil the temporary partition,
and used’ largely by teachers'for posting lists of references, and
serving a very urgent need, though b y no means an ornament to
the room. Indeed, so little spacefw.as left.-for making public the
various concerns and influences of the library, that the gift of
money from the Girls’ Student Council last year, was. more than ;
welcome in providing a special bulletin'board for library matters,
alone. It has been placed in the chapel just outside: one o f the
library doors, and with its attractive oak frame and glass- door,
makes an appearance of which we may well be proud. Here
appear lists of new books added to the. shelves from week to week,
special review notices of new titles, pictures suitable to certain
days and seasons, and original posters by the students themselves.
This keeps the library well before the, student body, and She
Library Council Committee who have it in charge are faithful to
its care.
.'
>.
Aside from the regular course, in the .useg||pthe library, a talk
is given each year to the outgoing students on how to obtain free
material and books at small cost. This is an important topic
with young people who are making..* first start in their profession,
with often very little to help them either in school or out.
Library facilities in the country especially, are very limited, but
the ubiquitous advertisement is always, with us, and the better
firms have learned so: much of the psychology of advertising, that
the artistic sense may thrill at nothing more than a sfe.aming .bowl
of tomato soup, . Companies are also learning the wisdom ^of
taking the public into their confidence, and the art of answering
the child’s question as to how his shoes are-made, or why ink
is black, may easily be left to the manufacturer who knows:; that
truthful, scientific explanation of his product mean|-,: more in­
telligent customers in the future. The encouragement of travel,
both by sea and land, has also increased the number o f attractive

28

folders issued free by railroad and steamship companies, chambers
of comnjerc|and the like. The clever normal school graduate

the habit of book buying may be made the most satisfying one in
the world, if it is done with caution. To feel that all knowledge

unworthy of any educator. To build up o n e® own library % no
readj-made” job, but a slow process of absorbing interest to
the owner and brings its own reward. It is hoped that this list
will help the young teacher in making an economical choice of
books.
Another feature within library influence ysffthe Readers’ GluB;
I hig. -organization has flourished for ihore than two years and
t as gradually increased it|;s membership with the passing months.
Its object has been to supply recreational reading for those whose
few hoursjSgf leisure lead them naturally to a book. In an en­
vironment wholly jacking in publiqfîibrary opportunity, and very'
little more than an occasional magazine, such a need is keenly
felt. The studentjSthemselves are therefore more than willing
to pay a nominal yearly fee of 50 cents toward the support of
the club, and the faculty members also have the privilege for
y -00' The dues are used to purchase new books for the use of
the members, and the better ;type of fiction, and the finest and
most readable books of non-fiction, argto be found on the shelves.

including everything from “ Microbe hunters” by de K ruif to

dull one- when just; around the corner lies a Readers’ Club membership.
, I'as(oan<l most iinportalit of all, practice work in the library has
been given full- credit as an extra-curricular activity, and between
forty and fiftyggtudents each semester elects to wôrk in s h ift® two
hours a week. Their duties are largely at: the desk and shelves

THE TRAINING SCHOOL LIBRARY
The purpose of a Library is to afford an opportunity to. read
andlftudy for pleasure and profit. 'T he primary function
school library is to establish habits of reading and studying for
pleasure and profit. A Training pffhool Library aims;'to«give
students' practice in using the library in their teaching and to send
them out as missionaries into the much neglected field of library
opportunities o f oür State. ToSrovide for a jjfervice t$cover two
of- these aims, and ultimately the third, requires not only a^ lear
understanding of these purposes and the technique necessary to
realize them, but also an equipment especially selected for 'fl|i:sj
work.
■ t h e changed Conception of teaching from imparting of knowl­
edge and imposing of taskSAupon children to thej|fflp|Sjng of
children’s; interests and activities into channels of physical and
intellectual growth has''èreatéd a new Conception of the work of
the library. In-':additionf ffi providing reference materials;, and
supplementary reading, the- library has, become a necessary part
of the teaching equipment. , Formerly, we collected volumes of
bounijfprinted paper, placed them on shelves and called it a library,
now we select books' and m ateria® which bear directly upon the
life and interests of the children! and usé: them a y a part ofqthfe
school program. The class activities' determine "the nature of
the library work and give the children a purpose for choosing
the books desired for reading. This library service ig| demanded
by little children as well as adults. All who seek help by means

30

T he N ormal S chool H erald

or books, charts and pictures now come to the library to have their
needs supplied.
■ ,. Much attention has. been given to the library needs of adults
but the facilities for little children arei;n.ot Itequately provided
hurmture for children; is gradually:,being made a part of the
library equipment, but . in most cases this’ is adult•iturniture cut
down to the size of children. Our equipment for the children’s
library should make the same appeal as is found in the kinder­
garten. While the beginners are being introduced to the fairies
and the familiar personalities in the nursery literatures, there
should be a real fairyland to which they can go to explore these
realms of the imagination. Picture, books, maps of Fairyland
charts and posters of children’s activities are- just as necessary
tor little children as reference books and encyclopedias are for
adults. This type of interest will not only' enlarge and enrich
the experiences of the children, but will at the ' same time
establish habits: of intelligent reference and research necessary
for school work of the higher grades.
This appeal to; satisfy the needs of children in the primary
grades is no less necessary in all of- the grades of the elementary
ooL In m°St of our schools it is not only a matter of selecting
library equipment, but m orP especially to' select iqiripment that
will serve the different grades.rfg. the- pupils’, development,—equip­
ment that is suited fe the age and' needs of the children. The
hbrarian and cig||room teacher .must have a common objective,
lh e library and the classroom are means of instruction and serve
cor relatively rather than supplementary.
The Training, School Library is now celebrating its third anni­
versary,. Its aim is to afford suitable literature for all children'
of the elementary school, to train teachers to use the library as
a means||if, instruction and to send them out to establish library
opportunities in the communities to which they .go. Our furniture
and equipment have hardly kept pace with our aims and fneeds.
Our latest addition is a reading table containing a map of Fairy-'
land, special picture books, for little children, and appropriate
literature for all grades. Thirteen children’s magazines come
to our shelves, regularly. We have 1500. volumes distributed in
the GampushTraining ;School, the Rural Training- School at
P.easant Hill and the Junior High School of Shippensburg.
Besides the daily readings in the libraries, and the class groups
which have; regular library periods, there is an average circula­
tion Of 300 books per month. These, are boilecjjbns of selected
B ^ m M-any '$ther:4 i% m es are. available; and others are con­
stantly being recommended- for our shelves but must be rejected
because they do not serve our purpose.

HOW TO USE AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LIBRARY
Much has. been written concerning the .pÿganization^^a school
library the selection H material f<jr
the furnituie,
lighting, heating, and general equipment. This brief outline
jlegins where the before-mentioned- topic leaves off, and assumes ,
that .everything has been properly prepared,; and that the library
is in action.
.
,
, ,
What are some of the uses to which it is. to be put, and how
are we t ® make It do its fullest work with its; constituency.
After all it does not differ from any other .library. It is intended
M meet present need$Jïàs they <|gme up from day Q day,- and
prepare the child for an intelligent use of his. community library
when he is through school. It givey, him a sincere appreciation
of the value of books in his life, and therefore makes him willing
'ftp further‘ the library as. a community project, and give it his
moral and.financial support.
,
, , ...
,
The following are . some of t ^ w a y s ; tJjS'jtchQflj libraryg i jeqM.
be used by and for the child:
t Its doors' should be open during the entire .school day, so
that teachers, and pupils alike may have access' to the books for
reference. I f the geography class is not quite sure whether dates
are packed before or after ripening,Tsend some representative to
the library to find out, when interest, in the subject is high and
fix the fact once and for all. IPA,pot w ait. unt|; after^chool,
when everyone is eager to see the ball game.
f ' 2. Children should go- to the library to, draw books out tor
home use, and thereby stimulate their habit of reading for pleasure.
This is, of course the main, object 'o f any library, but it is
peculiarly the privilege of the school library to start the child on
the road to a broader acquaintance with the great literature
-written especially for him, and to help the parent 'solve the allimportant. problem of the use of leisure- time.
H The library should be in charge of some one who has a
thorough knowledge of children’s h<pk|§and how they should be
used with children. A small collection of books will triple m
value if used with intelligence, and a sympathetic effort to get
the right book and the right child together.
4.
The atmosphere of the library should be informal. While,
it should be quiet, i t should not be looked upon as. a study hall,
.and. children should b| permitted to move about as much as they
wish if they are there: for a legitimate purpose. Children .should,
never be sent to the library to study-their regular lessons, or to
puish them for a fault. The child should go to the library because
he wants to, not because he must, and the object of its entire
mission will be lost if it is used for disciplinary purposes,
i. The story hour in the library offers another point of con-

32

yT he N ormal S chool H erald

tact with books.',; Here the teacher troni time to time may gather
her group about her, and the poetry and folk-lore o f the ages
may be made, alive and real. In lour own library, the low; table,
with therirnap of fairy land on top, covered by glas.4, and the
little chairs surrounding; it, offers a charming center for a happv
hour. A well arranged bulletin hoard or a beautiful picture may
also introduce thHtheme òf ' sOmé^pSgial season or holiday, ant
thO|ftory teller need have no fear o f -wandering attention.
6.
Another school problem which the library may have its
part in . solving is thaf. of the-superiorphild. Teâ|hërs know only
too well what it means to have on their hands' ,a boy, who through
superabundance of ability, finishes;: hifèî history-%r . arithmetic long
before^he others, and therefor|| seeks an outlet for hi4§eiiergy
by drawing none too flattering picturèsM l his. teacher for the
entertainment 'of his neighbors! ”; .Permission to go to t$Ê library,
select a bo:pk or magazine: an.®* read quietly there until time for
the,next class period, is a favor eagerly sought Mijljgratefully
acknowledged. The teà'cher’s loadVis lifted- | l r the moment,ìthe
pupil is congenially employed,, and best vlf: all, independent Of
action in chopsing what is interesting ¡¿festered.
The tfibrary may alsofeffer its bestfervices to the child
who fe^naturally ^i^w , especially in reading. The: sympathetic
teacher may realize this by sending the boy or girl Of this type
to the library frequently. In thé. classroom where others may
see and hear deficiencies, the embarrassment of theifsensitive
child is great, but by himself in the quiet of the library, he may
look , .at pictures, browse, through the shelves, anffi rëâd a third
grade, bpok when he belongs in the fifth grade, without any stigma
attaching theretM Gradually he grows more independent in his
rp dinê i!and| f nS - t <? h^s delight that he can readily read without
help, and without hi|j pride ¡being hurt.
: 8, ; The library offers torthe teacher an unusual chance to intro-duc^ the besfe literature to her pupils. Many bcjlfks that lie un­
used on the shelves-because of *a Sack 'd ! understanding||>n the
parffef the child, may need only a word of explanation or recom­
mendation from the teacher to bring it into the front rank of
popularity. Lucas’ ‘The Slowcoach” truly lived up to its name
until one of our bright jfiudent teacher's; read a chapter of two to
her class. .Since then it has taken on the wornMpok o f a much
loved companion. All books do not make the same appeal, but
here is an opportunity to give the “ wall flowers” o f literature a
chance to he appreciated. • This the intelligent teacher always does.

THE LIBRARY COUNCIL
No: longer do stern librarians hold absolute sway over the C. V. ;
S. T. C. Library. Rut rather, the fate, of this “ heart of the
school” , as it has been so aptly called, rests, with the members
of the newly formed- Library Council. It is. from them that^ all
ideas of decoration, publicity, growth and progress shall spring.
And rightly Iso. For, after all, what develops enthusiasm as much
as a personal responsibility and contact, which we hope :thi|| will
prove to be to our students,’ soon teachers and promoters of pro­
gressive educational methods,'?.,
The plans and hopes of the Council, though at present rather
nebulous, are broad and well meaning. The membership is com­
posed of students who have elected library work as their extra
curricular activity, and hence is an interested group. The officers
chosen are Dr. Lehman, Honorary President; David Brandt, Pres­
ident; Helen BarbourÇ Vice-President; Miriam Piper, Secretary;
Ruth Kinsloe, Treasurer, with Miss Y ork,'‘Miss Bragg and Miss
Moore the faculty advisors. An exhaustive constitution has been
adopted, and the various committees are at work. The duties of
the-.executive committee are to aid the officers in carrying out
the aims: of the club; the decoration committee are to keep the
library as attractive as possible with flowers and exhibi||| the
bulletin board committee to keep the library before the public eye
by posting all library news and notes in our own ¡special bulletin
board.
The Council plans one trip a year to a neighboring library, this
year to the State Library at Hargrsburg, in order to enlarge the
field of the members’ library experience and, we trust,¡gheir en­
thusiasm. Mr. Bliss- of the State lib rary has spoken to the club
on County libraries, Mis.sl Zachert, director of. the School
Libraries Division has told us about school libraries in Pennsyl­
vania. Miss Titcomb of the Hagerstown.Public Library has also
consented- to explain the work and purose of the “book wagon.”
I -But neither is the club to be purely “ professional.” Our first
meeting was of a social nature, when, after everyone wns happily
fed, the idea of the Council was introduced by the librarians. It
was at that time th lf. the possibilities of many good timegjwere
discussed, and various studeriSinclude banquets, parties and even
dances in their vision of “what ap b rary club should do.”

BOOKS AT SMALL COST
This list makes no pretension of being complete, for the publish­
ing world is a rapidly growing and changing field. It tries, how­
ever, to include some of the better known editions and series on
the market during the past year. Any publisher will gladly send
lists of his publications upon request.
In regard :to what is sometimes termed “ school” editions,
changes in the original text are occasionally made, especially in
anthologies of poetry. Thist?|thange is generally accounted for
in the preface or introduction, but the teacher is cautioned to
bear this -fact in mind when making a purchase. Untermeyer’s
“ This singing world” is an example; ninety-seven poems that ap­
pear in the original printing being omitted in the school edition.
