PRINCIPAL’S LETTER TO THE ALUMNI
Dear Friends:
We are now under full headway with the work of the
first semester. Every room in our dormitories is full,
and forty of our young women students are rooming in
the Viener Apartments which the school authorities
rented to take care of the overflow students who could
not be accommodated in our campus dormitories. The
contemplated renovations in the Main Building have been
completed and we can devote all our energies to the
regular school work.
Miss Horton submitted to me the other day, a list of
students, one or both of whose parents are members of
the Alumni. I wish it were possible to publish this list,
since it attests most strongly the loyalty of the Alumni
and their confidence in the old school. Hardly less in­
teresting is the list of graduates who have brothers or
sisters with us. Students are coming to us in increasing
numbers from the fartherst counties of the state. This

4

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

list has been increasing in numbers every year, and we
hail it as a splendid illustration of “Shippensburg spirit”.
Three letters have ju st been received from presidents
of county and city Alumni Associations telling of their
plans for the alumni meetings and banquets to be held
in the near future. I wish it were possible for me to at­
tend all of these gatherings. I’d like to chat with all of
you for a while and to have the privilege of telling you
about our plans for the future. But since this is not
possible I’ll sketch briefly what we would like to do. I’d
like to ask your continued active help in getting proper
financial support from the next legislature. All of the
Normal Schools must have this support if they are to
do the work th a t the state has a right to expect of them.
Our own institution has grown so rapidly th a t we must
ask for larger appropriations in order to carry out our
plans for the future. We are asking for an appropria­
tion th a t will enable us to complete the renovation of our
dormitories in the Main Building. We want to complete
the renovation in our dormitories in the Main Building
and to modernize these rooms in every respect. We need
additional library facilities, a science building, and most
of all a new training school (including a Junior High
School) large enough to accommodate twelve hundred
pupils. Of course we cannot expect large enough appro­
priation from the next legislature to secure all these
improvements, but we should get enough to make a good
beginning. You can help by “selling” the idea of bigger
and better teacher training institutions to the public and
to the members of the next legislature.
We want your continued help in sending us strong
young men and women from your neighborhood. Won’t
you help us secure ambitious young people who have
qualities of leadership, latent or developed ? It is not too
early to begin to talk Shippensburg to these students.
The time has come when Pennsylvania must join the
procession of progressive states th a t have raised their
Normal Schools to the rank of Teacher’s Colleges. When
the course in the Junior High School group was
lengthened to three years, many persons supposed th at
the enrollment in this group would fall off. Just the
reverse has happened: It has grown steadily and is now
one of the largest groups in our school. These young
people are interested in having the course lengthened to

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

four years so th a t they can secure a baccalaureate degree
in education. Of course the two years course should be
continued until such time as higher salaries in ele­
mentary schools justify a longer period of preparation.
We want your cooperation and active good will in help­
ing to realize these opportunities.
Fraternally yours,
EZRA LEHMAN, ’89.

GUIDANCE SUGGESTIONS FOR RURAL SCHOOLS.
Submitted by the Rural Training School Guidance
Committee, Hannah A. Kieffer, Director. September,
1924.
The rural teachers recognize another opportunity of
service in their efforts to give rural girls and boys an
equivalent opportunity in education, namely through a
guidance course adapted to the rural school curriculum.
Mr. H. L. Holbrook, director of Guidance Work, Depart­
ment of Public Instruction asked the cooperation of the
Cumberland Valley State Normal School Rural Training
Department and County Superintendent J. L. Finafrock in
developing guidance suggestions for the one-teacher
schools, two-teacher schools and consolidated schools.
At the Franklin County Institute a group conference
was held when the following schools were selected to co­
operate in developing guidance plans: Fayetteville Con­
solidated School, Reese E. Bert, principal; Orrstown Tworoom School, S. R. Zullinger, Grammar Grades and Miss
Miriam Wise, Primary Grades; One-teacher Schools,
Sunny Hill, Miss Edith Morrison and Edgewood, Miss Fan­
nie Minnich, teachers.
The teachers met for group conferences every month
during the year when guidance needs were more clearly
defined, books on guidance were read and discussed and
reactions of pupils were related and further plans formu­
lated.
The Rural Director as leader of the Rural Training
Guidance Committee at the close of the first year submits
for the Committee the following report and suggestions:

6

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

The Committee recognizes a real need for this work in
all rural schools.
Due to the present crowded curriculum in the rural
schools, the Committee recommends th a t guidance work
be correlated with subject instruction, with all school
activities and with visits to the homes of the children.
The cumulative envelope has a very definite place in
the guidance program in the rural as well as the city
schools. Rural teachers are urged to use the envelope
whenever possible to commend pupils for the right at­
titude toward the school, the home, associates in school
and outside. These envelopes should also contain the
self analysis record of the pupil, the teacher’s estimate,
record of home visits, health record, record of group tests
and achievement records of desirable habits of pupil.
Every teacher should have a list of habits which
children should form during the elementary school period.
Dr. Agnes Rogers has prepared a very practical list of
habits to be established early in school life, which may
be secured from Teachers College Publication Bureau, 525
West 120th St., New York City, N. Y.
Guidance in the elementary grades of the rural schools
will give the children an idea of the activities of people
in the city and the country as to difficulties to be met,
qualities of character needed to be happy and successful
in the work, etc. Geography, arithmetic, civics, history
and English offer splendid opportunities for guidance dis­
cussions.
Children with certain characteristics and aptitudes may
be directed in watching people of their acquaintance who
are successful in different activities and discuss the
reason “why” with the different individuals and teachers.
Thus at the end of the eighth year they will continue their
school work more intelligently or if obliged to go to work,
they will develop into more efficient workmen and citizens.
All teachers who read this article are urged to get in
touch with Mr. H. L. Holbrook, Department of Public
Instruction, Harrisburg, Pa. Mr. Holbrook will send
bibliographies and outlines and whenever possible will ar­
range for group conferences with teachers, directors and
patrons interested in Guidance.
Among the books on Guidance which teachers will enjoy

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

reading are the following:
Allen—A Guide to the Study of Occupations.
Brewer—The Vocational Guidance Movement.
Brewer—Material for the Class in Occupations.
Davis—Vocational and Moral Guidance.
Gowan & Wheatley—Occupations, revised by John
Brewer.
Weaver—Profitable Vocations for Girls.
Weaver—Profitable Vocations for Boys.
Bulletins from Department Public Instruction, H arris­
burg, Pa.
The Rural Training Department will continue their
guidance study during the present school term 1924-1925,
and will submit a more detailed report a t a later date.

SURVEY OF RURAL GROUP GRADUATES
The Cumberland Valley State Normal School organized
a rural department September, 1920, with twenty seniors
who were eager to study rural schools and in a most un­
selfish way to adjust themselves to difficult situations
in order to put the rural department on a sound working
basis.
During the four years 1920-1924, ninety-six
students have been graduated by this Normal School with
special training in Rural Education.
The achievements of the rural department have been
summarized yearly and published in the Herald, the same
has been circulated widely through the State and the
United States. The expression work of the children in
the rural training centres has been exhibited at the
Normal School and at County Institutes as well as being
used in the Normal School classwork and extension
courses.
“Do the rural training departments in the Normal
Schools function?” “Do the rural graduates remain in
the field?” “Do the rural seniors grow professionally in
service—in service in the rural field?” To answer these
and other questions the Rural Department submits the
following summary of the placement of rural graduates
for the school year 1924-1925:

Since all previous training was largely of th at type
which emphasized city advantages, the Director of Rural
Education believes th a t the year and one-half of concen­
trated thinking and training for rural schools is func­
tioning in a most satisfactory manner. A later edition of
the Herald will summarize achievements of the rural
group seniors in the field. Eliminating the two graduates
who are not able to work in either rural or city and the
one graduate who is preparing for rural work while
teaching in the city, we find our number of rural gradu­
ates in the rural field to be approximately ninety per
cent of the number graduated in the Rural Group.
The Rural Department of the Cumberland Valley State
Normal School is proud of its representatives in the field
and urges each one to read with interest the advance­
ment different members have made since graduation.

THE SUMMER SESSION COUNTRY LIFE CLUB
The twenty-fourth of June, about one hundred students
met and organized the 1924 Summer Session Country Life
Club. Five meetings were held during the summer; all
the club members were expected to attend at least three
meetings.
The main purpose of the club was a better understand­
ing of rural schools and rural community problems.
Lectures and demonstrations on radio were given by
Messrs. Bert and Schuman and Miss Kieffer. Dr. Ezra
Lehman addressed the club on “Rural Education from a
State and National View Point.” Prof. S. S. Shearer gave
a very interesting illustrated lecture on his trip in the
Rocky Mountain Region. Mr. Robert C. Shaw, Depart­
ment of Public Instruction met the club members in “The
Township School” and discussed the improvement and
equipment of one-teacher school buildings.
The club members are keeping in touch with the winter
club by correspondence and visitation. If you are in­
terested in country children and understand country life
problems, we invite you to join our club.

RURAL PLAY DAY
The first Play Day contest was held in three of the rural
training schools the middle of April, 1924. Under the
direct supervision of Harry D. Smith, Rural Senior, the
playground activities were made a more interesting part

10

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

of the teacher training work. Indoor and outdoor games
of different types were organized.
Only the children who had the consent of their parents,
participated in the running and jumping contests. At
first it was thought best to have all the children assemble
at a central school for the final Play Day. Various
problems arose and the plan was abandoned for one which
proved to be very satisfactory.
The following sheet was prepared by Mr. Smith and the
contests held in each school separately:
Annual Play Day Contest Record Sheet

“Each school shall have their meet on days suitable to
the supervisor and the teacher. Time shall be kept of
the jump and dashes and after all schools have had their
meet, the school having made the best time and distances
shall be given first place and a total of three points for
each jump or race. Then a grand total will be made and
the school having the most points will be declared winner
of the first play day.”
Mt. Rock school made a total of 12 points; Orrstown
111/2 points and Sunny Hill 6 i/2 points. The singing
games by the little children were greatly enjoyed; as were
also the organized games for the older children during the
entire session.
The report is given to encourage teachers in one-teacher

schools to begin the play day activities if necessary in
this way and as public interest and cooperation grows,
township and county play day events may be held a t a
central place.

PURPOSEFUL SEATWORK
Submitted by Hannah A. Kieffer.
Modern classroom procedure recognizes individual dif­
ferences in children and provides for a variety of ways
by means of which all the children may clinch subject
matter, drill on difficulties and new material, and develop
original ideas.
The one-teacher school is so organized th a t one group
of children may have one to two hours of the teacher’s
time, the remaining hours of the school for each group
should be spent in study and purposeful seatwork activi­
ties.
Purposeful seatwork activities are those activities
which aid in searching for data, selecting and organizing
useful information as well as clinching ideas gained in
the study and discussion periods of a unit of subject
matter. The expression work when completed may be
for the individual or if assembled by the cooperative
efforts of the class, the booklet or poster may influence
many individuals. The parents, directors and superin­
tendents will study and review all expression work from

22

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

the point of view of achievements. Purposeful seatwork
is so planned by trained teachers th a t the slow learner
responds to the minimum requirements; the average
learner has an opportunity to reach more than minimum
requirements; while the rapid learner has an opportunity
of doing more creative work and extensive supplementary
work.
At all times the trained teacher is placing children in
th a t environment th a t calls for good habits of work and
thought (skills in handling tools to acquire knowledge).
The following suggestions on purposeful seatwork are
submitted by the writer after twenty years of careful
study and class association with one-teacher schools.
Acknowledgements are made to all the teachers who have
been associated with the writer in practice and thought
reading. Special acknowledgement is due to Miss Nora
A. Kieffer for assistance with Arithmetic suggestions
and Miss Erna Grassmuck, State Director of Geography
for revising suggestions on geography.

Standards for good oral reading should be formulated
by the class and definite preparation to th a t end made.
Individual and class records on rate and comprehension
should be kept.
Reading Clubs should be formed and individual files
assembled giving titles of books read, author’s names,
date read and things th a t appealed to reader should be

By careful supervision of all writing lessons a t the
desk and well planned instruction, little children will de­
velop desirable habits of writing from the beginning.
WRITING—GROUPS C., B., A.
Blackboard writing for form should be encouraged.
When individual pupils grasp the idea of arm movement
then as the form of letters and words are clearly in mind,
the pupils should be required to practice several periods
a day.

Drill charts on equivalents in fractions, decimals and
percentage are an essential part of the seatwork.
Charts giving examples of all types of numbers includ­
ing fractions, integers, mixed numbers, decimals, etc.,
should be assembled and used for drill work on term i­
nology instead of definitions.
Pupils may assist the teacher in preparing drill ex­
ercises for Group D.
Review questions as seatwork exercises are excellent.
ARITHMETIC A.—GRADES VII., VIII.
When Group A has missed forming the habits developed
by devices suggested for the preceding grades, it is ad­
visable to have them react to all suggested, beginning with
fundamental combinations.
In addition they should participate in all types of intui­
tional and experimental mathematics. Suggestions for
such work may be found in any good book on Junior High
School Mathematics.
There is an informational side of business activitities
which can best be taught in Arithmetic. This work can
best be developed in booklet form after reading, excur­
sions and discussions with the mathematical process in­
volved understood.
One real problem on each subject should be secured by
the children directly from the farm and every day life.
These when approved by the class become a part of the
permanent school arithmetic file.
W rite to the State Director of Arithmetic for further
information.
NATURE STUDY—C., B., A.
School collections of flowers, insects, trees, seeds, etc.,
should be assembled on charts, in booklets, in boxes and
cabinets. Example—Leaf Booklet containing pressed
leaves from the different trees in the neighborhood. Give
name of tree, where found and date. Poems and titles of

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

boiling water, 1 teaspoon salicylic acid, 1 tablespoon car­
bolic acid, 1 tablespoon alum and a few drops of wintergreen.
Mix together the flour and salicylic acid; add cold water
and mix until smooth; add this mixture to boiling water,
which is in the upper part of a double boiler. Cook until
the mixture is clear and of the consistency of cream
(adding boiling water as needed). Take from the fire,
strain through a wire strainer; add carbolic acid and oil

EXTRA-MURAL COURSES, L. E. SMITH, DIRECTOR
We shall continue our extension courses in the pro­
fessional subjects this term and the correspondence work
in the high school studies; a course in penmanship, lead-]
ing to a teacher’s certificate is also offered in corre­
spondence.
Last year extension classes were conducted in the fol­
lowing places in this Normal school d istrict: Harrisburg,
A rt and Penmanship; Newport, Educational Sociology;
Chambersburg, Health Education; McConnellsburg, Art
and English Fundamentals; Newville, Teaching of
English. Two courses, Educational Psychology and Pen­
manship, were given in the city of York by members
of our faculty, under the direction of State College. We
have been associated with this college in our extension
work for two years, and find it much to the advantage
of our institution and to those of our patrons who are
looking toward the completion of a college course. Prac­
tically all our courses carry college credit to the same
extent th at they carry normal school credit, and with
little additional cost to the student.
We are looking forward to adding an additional feature
to our extension service by offering the teachers in service
an opportunity to obtain credit for practice teaching while
engaged in teaching in our Normal school district. This
is not an experiment but has been carried on successfully
at other institutions. The main features of the scheme

34

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

are, first, to have one qualified in supervision visit the
teacher in her school room at different times during a
period of weeks; second, to have those enrolled in the
course meet the supervisor on Saturdays for a two hour
conference, thus giving the teacher an extension course
at the same time. This course affords an opportunity to
do actual work in the school room under expert super­
vision and will be accepted by the institution in lieu of
the work in the training school. Teachers interested in
this course will confer directly with the Director of Ex­
tension, who will give more detailed information on this
course.
Extension courses in the professional subjects will be
offered this semester in any part of our Normal school
district where an enrolment of fifteen or more teachers
is secured. Applications for an instructor should be
made to the Director of Extension.

RADIO ITEM
In response to a demand, a special opportunity has been
provided for the students of the Normal School to learn
more of the widely discussed subject of Radio. The
course takes the form of an organized club. The subject
is being taken up from its scientific and practical stand
point, the latter being stressed.
A few suggestions here may be of interest and profit
to the reader.
The radio is a product of science, governed by definite
laws of nature, and must be handled with the same care
and appreciation as any scientific instrument if best
results are to be obtained.
In purchasing radio instruments or parts, first know
what you want very definitely, then purchase only from
concerns having a high reputation and who are willing
to stand back of their product for satisfaction.
The price and number of tubes may tell very little about
a receiver. It is the circuit, the arrangement of the in­
struments, the suitability of the instruments for their
work in the circuit and the workmanship th a t make for
efficiency.

36

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

It is better to build your receiver if you understand
radio as a science, otherwise do not attem pt to build it.
Instead, purchase a widely used outfit from a reputable
dealer.
Beware of the “Just as Good” instruments at one-half
price.
Insist upon a demonstration in your home before
buying. It may save regrets.
Persons who wish to learn more about the subject will
find interesting and profitable reading in the several
authentic radio magazines, (See Magazine list) and books
on the subject of Radio. A very good book is the one
put out from the Government Printing Office, Washing­
ton, D. C., on “Principles Underlying Wireless Communi­
cation”.

FOOTBALL—1924
H. N. Bentz, Coach.
With the return of but seven letter men from last year’s
varsity team, and with the necessity of breaking in much
new material from the entering students, the outlook
for the season was not all th a t might be desired. The
installation of a new system made the situation doubly
difficult. Thus far, however, the outcome has been en­
couraging, and we are able to report the following games :
Mercersburg—October 4th.
Our boys played excellent football considering the fact
that this was the first game of the season, and that they
were working on a new system. The first half ended
0-0 with Shippensburg having 7 first downs to the
Academy’s 2. The second half started off with a rush
in which some of our back field men were injured, after
which Mercersburg scored 13 points.
Alumni and
students were well pleased with the showing. The. final
score being 13-0 in Mercersburg’s favor.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

37

Dickinson Reserves—October 11th.
The Dickinson Reserve game is always a good game at
Shippensburg. The husky bunch of boys from Carlisle
made it hot for our team the first half. A fter the whistle
for the second half blew Shippensburg came back with
a better looking offence rolling up 17 points in the third
quarter. In the last minute of play Dickinson intercepted
a wide forward pass and got their lone six points. Craig,
Hockersmith, and Bailey afforded the excitement for the
spectators. Final score was 17-6 in favor of Shippens­
burg.
Massanutten Military Academy—October 18th.
Our boys journeyed to Woodstock, Virginia, with the
determination of avenging the two defeats handed C. V.
S. N. S. in the last two years. The Normal started off
with a rush and carried the Military Academy boys off
their feet in the first half for 30 points. In the last half
the second team was sent in to relieve the varsity and to
save them for the coming games. Massanutten in the
second half started an ariel attack which took Captain
Hockersmith’s boys a while to solve, but when Normal
received the ball, they showed improved strength on the
offence. The stars of the game were Captain Hocker­
smith, Craig, Bailey, S. Gilbert. The final score was 37-6.
Revenge was sweet to the older boys.
Shepherdstown College—October 25th.
With the Shepherdstown, West Virginia team our boys
had another victory of revenge. Shepherdstown was
represented by a fast, well drilled team, but our offensive
and defensive were too much for them. The game was
very hard fought but our team won by the use of hard,
straight, clean football. Long runs by Barth, Craig, and
Bailey, the line plunging of Captain Hockersmith, and the
defensive work of the line deserved commendation.
Shepherdstown obtained their lone touchdown after the
first team had been almost entirely replaced by second
team men. The final score was Shippensburg 28, Shep­
herdstown College 6.

38

ALMA MATER
In the dear old Cumberland Valley,
’Neath the glowing sky,
Proudly stands our Alma Mater
On the hill top high.
Chorus
Swell the chorus ever louder,
We’ll be true to you,
Hail to thee, our Alma Mater,
Dear old “red and blue.”
Near the waving golden corn-fields,
Just beyond the town,
Tower the ivy covered buildings
As the sun goes down.
When we leave our Alma Mater
We will praise her name,
Ever live to raise the standard
Of her glorious fame.
