APRIL, 1923 No, 3 AN ANNOUNCEMENT Last year it was found that the Sock and Buskin Club had grown so large that its original purpose— dramatic study— had become impossible to carry out in practice. Some change of plan therefore seemed advisable to make the dramatic work function more actively in the lives of the students. With the sanction of the alumni on the fac­ ulty, and with the co-operation of both literary societies, an interesting experiment is being tried out. Each society has a dramatic committee, appointed for a semester. In their respective societies these committees, with the aid of the department of English, have charge of all plays presented at society meetings. The committees obtain valuable coaching and executive experience; they select players with an idea of discovering and developing new talent; they aim continually to raise the society stand­ ards of appreciation, plays, and acting. Some worthwhile one-act plays of national fame have been presented, such as: "The Pills in a Bottle,” from the Harvard 47 Workshop plays; “ W hy the Chimes Rang;” "Joint Owners in Spain;” Stuart Walker’s “ Nevertheless;” Yeats’s “ The Hour-Glass.” Since this plan is in an experimental stage at present, no final announcement can be made. It is hoped that the scope of the plan will be broadened and continued progress will be assured. 4 THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD PRINCIPAL’S LETTER TO THE ALUMNI Dear Friends: This number of the Herald will be given over to the Summer School, and to the Department of Health. Much to our regret it was not possible to publish in the January number all the articles furnished by the teachers connected with this department. The responses from many of the readers of the Herald attested the interest felt in health education, and impressed us with the desirability of publish­ ing everything that had been prepared. We accordingly publish these contributions in this number of the Herald. Our work has gone on uneventfully, and, happily unin­ terruptedly. Just at present a .number of students are out of their classes suffering from la grippe which has become an epidemic in many sections. Fortunately, at this writ­ ing all of those who are in the infirmary are recovering rapidly. A number of our faculty suffered from attacks of this malady, but nearly all have returned to their class­ rooms. For the first time in thirty years we shall not have a spring session. The extension of the minimum school year to eight months makes it impossible for us to find sufficient time for a spring term ¿ession. W e have, therefore, decid­ ed to concentrate all our energies on the summer session which opens June 18 and continues for nine weeks. A definite outline of the various courses is given in the follow­ ing pages. Our purpose is to give any teacher or prospec­ tive teacher the opportunity needed for any type of certifi­ cate. Not only will these courses be valuable to the teacher who wishes to secure a partial or a State Standard Certificate, but to those who wish to complete the Normal School course, and to those of you who wish to add special branches to your certificate or diploma, or who aim at the completion of the three-year course for Junior and Senior High-School teachers. I need not remind those of you who have been here that our school is most fortunately located for a summer session.. Its elevation, its wide halls, its campus,— all con­ tribute to make it as pleasant as a summer hotel. The summer school staff of teachers that we have assembled will be the best we have ever had. A glance at the courses already announced will prove our statement. Besides these courses others will be offered as need arises. We invite you to come back and spend the summer with us. If you cannot come yourself, you can unhesitatingly recommend THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD S the course to your friends. If you expect to come we ad­ vise early registration as students are registering at the rate of from five to ten a day at this writing. Everything is ready to go on with the improvements and renovations in the Main Building that we have planned. All the specifications have been drawn and the contract will be let we hope in the near future. Gov. Pinchot has requested all Normal Schools to defer making any changes or improvements until he has had opportunity to pass upon their needs. When the changes and improvements are made we shall have a thoroughly modernized school plant. Finally, don’t forget Alumni Day, Tuesday, June 12. W e are glad to learn that nearly all the five and ten-year classes are planning a big turn-out on that day. Let every­ one come and live over those old days. W e will all be bet­ ter for being boys and girls again for at least one happy care-free day. Fraternally yours, E ZRA LEHMAN, ’89, CLASS REUNIONS ON ALUMNI DAY We are glad to learn that nearly all of the five and ten year classes expect to have big reunions this year. Sever­ al of the class presidents have informed us that commit­ tees have been appointed and that all preparations are be­ ing made. The school authorities are very anxious to help along with these reunions. Miss Horton will be glad to furnish up-to-date class lists to any class committees who may desire them. The following class rooms have been assigned to the various classes for their exclusive use, during commence­ ment wook. W e shall be glad to have committees from the classes bring pennants/ bunting in class colors, etc., and decorate the rooms fittingly. The rooms will be available for this purpose any time during Monday, June 11. Class of 1883— School Parlors. Class of 1888— Room No. 53. Class of 1893—r-Room No. 54. Class of 1898— Room No. 52. Class of 1903— Room No. 61. Class of 1908— Room No. 59. Class of 1913— Room No. 55. Class of 1918— Room N o. 46. Class of 1921— Room No. 29. 6 THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD Of course we want all alumni and former students to come whether they have an official reunion. Come back and meet old time friends and make new ones. NEW MEMBERS OF THE FACULTY FOR SECOND SEMESTER Increase in attendance and the readjustment of the program to meet the requirements of the three year course in the Junior High School group made necessary the em­ ployment of two additional members of the faculty at the beginning of the second semester. Fortunately, we were able to secure finely equipped teachers for these positions. Miss Nora Kieffer was selected to take charge of the classes in the teaching of Arithmetic, and to assist in the Department of Psychology. Miss Kieffer is well qualified for this work. She is a graduate of the Millersburg High School, Millersville Normal School, and of Columbia Uni­ versity. She holds the degree of B. S. in Education and A . M. in Mathematics from the last named institution. She has had a wide experience as a teacher. After teaching for three years in a one-teacher rural school in Dauphin County, she was elected a teacher of mathematics in the Huntingdon High School. The next two years were spent as teacher of mathematics in the Mount Hermon Preparatory School for Boys, at Mt. Hermon, Mass. She continued her career as a teacher of the same subject in the Camden, New Jersey, High School. She has also had invaluable training as Assistant Financial Secretary of the National Lutheran Council in New York City. Prof. L . E . Smith, who has served as Extension Di­ rector, was available this semester for teaching, and will assist in the High School and Pedagogical Departments. He will continue to direct the extension activities of the school, but as this work has been well organized he is avail­ able for teaching purposes. Prof. Smith is so well and widely known that little need be said relative to his work. He was educated in the Public Schools of Franklin County, at the Welsh Run Academy, and was graduated from the Shippensburg State Normal School with a state certificate in 1902. He then entered Juniata College School of Education and received the degree of M. E. Later he spent a year at Cornell University. He was THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD principal of the Greencastle High School when he was elect­ ed Superintendent of Franklin Co., and served fourteen years in that position. During his incumbency the schools of the county de­ veloped rapidly, and the county stands first among tike counties of the state in the consolidation of schools effected during his term of office. Miss Gladys G. Morris of Bloomsburg has been elected Secretary to the Principal to take the place made vacant by the resignation of Miss Edna Pearson. Miss Morris received her training in the public schools o f Columbia County, was graduated from the Bloomsburg High School in the Secretarial Course, and the Tulloss School. She has taken extensive work at the Peirce Busi­ ness College. She was previously employed in the offices of the Magee Carpet Co., of Bloomsburg, Pa., and acted as Secre­ tary to Prin. W . W . Raker of the Bloomsburg High School. She is filling this position being highly recommended not only by the directors of the schools from which she re­ ceived her education, but by the people under whom she was previously employed. Miss Beulah Ankerbrand who filled the secretarial po­ sition for several months has been made Assistant' to the Bursar. THE CAMPUS REFLECTOR The students of the school have shown most comme*dable initiative and spirit by beginning the publication of a weekly school paper, “ The Campus Reflector.” The first number of this new journal appeared on Friday, February 9th. It is a four-page paper brim full of school news and well edited. This weekly is, we believe, the first of its class to be published by any Normal School in Pennsylva­ nia. THE SUMMER SESSION— JUNE 18 TO AUGUST 18 All attendance records for summer sessions will be broken this year at our school. At this writing students are registering at the rate of from five to ten every day. W e are planning to make the large body of students just as comfortable as they can possibly be made for we want the school to be homelike in every respect. W e believe no institution is more pleasantly situated for summer work 8 THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD than the Shippensburg Normal School. Its elevation makes it cool and pleasant on the hottest day of mid-summer; the wide halls, the verandas of the main building, and the open court and alcoves of the girls’ dormitory suggest a summer hotel rather than a school. The Cumberland Val­ ley is always a beautiful region, but it is never quite so beautiful as in mid-summer when the mountains stand out in clear relief. The campus slopes gradually to the town and is suited to out-of-door community sings, vesper servi­ ces under the trees, and social gatherings in the early even­ ing. Expenses The expenses of the summer session are very reason­ able. They are as follows: Registration:— Term fee, including admission to games, lectures, concerts, entertainments, etc. $ 10.00 (In the case of boarding students, this fee must be paid when a room is engaged. Day stu­ dents must make payment on or before the opening day of the session). Boarding, including furnished room, light and laundry, (with nurse’s services when neces­ sary) is six dollars per week; for term.............. 54.00 Cost of books (approxim ately).................................. 5.00 Total necessary expenses of boarding students for summer session .................................................... $69.00 Expenses for Day Students Registration: Term fee ......................... $10.00 Cost of books (approxim ately).................................... 5.00 Total............................ $15.00 Boarding at Normal “ How is it possible to supply good boarding, furnished room, light and laundry at $6.00 a w eek?” is often asked us. Our answer is that by using care in buying in large quantities when prices are low; by raising vegetables on our school farm, and by avoiding waste we are able to set an excellent table for our students. The following menus for two weeks taken at random will bear out our statements. Menus Served During Week of January 9-16 January 9— Breakfast— Apples, Oatmeal, Broiled Bacon, Toast, Milk or Coffee.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ASKED BY PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS W e shall try to anticipate some of the many questions that students^ are likely to ask about the summer session. 1. "Is it necessary for me to come to the school be­ fore June 18?” Ans. “ N o; if you leave home on the morn­ ing of that day, you will arrive in time. The first day will be given up to assigning students to class. Class work will begin Tuesday morning, June 1 9 .” „ What articles should I bring with m e?” Ans. Bring window curtains (if you wish them), bureau cov­ ers, cushions, towels, table napkins, and toilet articles. Your room is supplied with a bed, bedding, bureau, desk, light fixtures, and wash stand.” 3-<( "W ill my baggage be delivered at the school?" Ans. “ If your trunk or suit case is checked and plainly marked with your name and room number, it will be deliv­ ered free of cost on the opening day of school. Those com­ ing after the opening day will be required to pay twentyfive cents for the delivery o f each piece of baggage. ” 4. "I am a graduate of a four-year high school. Can I receive enough credits to enable me to teach next year?” Ans. “ Yes, you will be permitted to carry four branches from the approved list (see page 12). If you pass three of these you will receive a partial certificate entitling you to teach next year at a minimum salary of $85.00 a month under the terms of the Edmonds A c t .” TH E NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD 12 5. “ Will it be possible for a student who does not have 15 high school units to receive a certificate to teach next year?” Ans. “ The regulations require graduation from a four year high school or its equivalent of those who have not taught before July 1, 1922. However, when it is not possible for a district to secure enough teachers having the qualifications indicated above, the board may elect a teacher without such qualifications and on the request of the coun­ ty superintendent, a partial certificate will be issued to one who lacks high school training, but who has taken the re­ quired professional work at a normal school. (A number of counties in this normal school district could not secure enough new teachers with adequate high school training last year. Partial Certificates were issued to students who did not have high school training, but who had completed the summer course satisfactorily). 6 . “ Can I do any work during the summer school that will give me high school credits?”' Ans. “ Yes. Because of the number of mature men and women who have not had high school opportunities we shall give a limited amount of high school work during the summer session. Those who have taught in the public schools may carry two high school subjects in addition to the work needed for a partial certificate; those who have not taught may carry but one in addition to the required professional w ork .” 7. “ Can I receive credit for teaching done during 1922-1923?” Ans. "You will be given four semester hours credit for every year of teaching, for which you received a satisfactory rating, toward the completion of a state stand­ ard certificate. No credit however, can be given toward the completion of a high school course or toward a normal cer­ tificate for teaching done after July 1, 1922.” 8 . “ W ill special courses be given during the summer session?” Ans. "Yes, a large variety of special and advan­ ced courses will be given. (See pages . . . . ) . CURRICULA OF SUMMER SESSION For students who expect to teach for the first time in I923- Introduction to Teaching (required) six hours each week, three semester hours credit. Public School Music, Art, or Health Education (one re­ quired) six hours each week— three semester hours credit. Students must elect one of the following, and may elect two. THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD 13 Child Psychology— 6 hours each week— 3 semester hours credit. Teaching of Reading— 6 hours each week— 3 semester hours credit. Teaching of English— 6 hours each week— 3 semester hours credit. Teaching of Mathematics— 6 hours each week— 3 sem­ ester hours credit. Teaching of Geography— 6 hours each week— 3 semes­ ter hours credit. Teaching of Social Science (History )— 6 hours each week— 3 semester hours credit. Students in this group will be given frequent opportuni­ ties to witness demonstration teaching in the Training School. Discussion of the lesson taught will follow. Students who have taken either a nine weeks spring or summer course (or both) at a normal school will supplement the work previously taken by electing Public School Music, Art of Health Education, omitting subject or subjects previ­ ously passed. They will be privileged to elect any three other courses, including School Efficiency listed above. All the work done at a State Normal School or other institu­ tion of similar grade may be credited toward the completion o f the normal school course. Courses for State Standard Certificate Teachers in service who desire to secure a State Stand­ ard Certificate, will be given the opportunity to carry twelve semester hours toward the completion o f the required 70 •semester hours. Such teachers may elect any professional course not previously taken. W e strongly advise that'Pub­ lic School Music, Art or Health Education be included in the group selected. Courses for State Normal School Certificate Teachers holding State Standard or Partial Certificates who wish to complete the Normal School course are advised that they may be admitted to such courses and given advan­ ced credit under the following conditions: #1. Completion of, a four year high school course or its equivalent covering 15 units. Teachers lacking high school training may offer five years (four will be accepted, if two have been on a Professional Certificate) of successful teaching as an equivalent for a four year high school course. Where a partial or two, or three year high school course has been taken, credit will be given toward the completion 14 THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD of the course at the rate of three units for each year’s teach­ ing. (Such credits apply only to teaching done prior to July 1, 1922). 2. After the high school requirements have been met, teachers may receive a credit of four semester hours for each year of successful teaching, but in no case will more than 32 semester hours of credit be given for teaching. (No credit will be given for teaching done after July 1, 1922). Teach­ ers desiring credit for teaching, will consult Dean J. S. Heiges, relative to the studies to be taken for the completion of the normal course. This cannot well be arranged in ad­ vance as a personal interview is usually necessary. These matters are best arranged after the student has enrolled, and amounting to twenty or more semester hours are advis­ ed to select either the Primary-Kindergarten, the Interme­ diate, or the Rural Group. The completion of the three year Junior High Group involves the mastery of High School subjects and a study of advanced work in at least two fields. Students who have completed a standard high school course may be able to qualify for the course, but not more than one semester of credit for public school teaching can be given in this group. Courses for Normal School Graduates Graduates of the two year course who wish to qualify for Junior High or Senior High School courses are advised; to note that the following courses will be given (an outline of these courses will be found on p a g e .......... ) . College Algebra— Z oology. Trigonometry— World Geography. Advanced English— A dv. European History. Administration or Supervision— Tests and Measure­ ments. ADVANCED COURSES The following special courses will be given if there is a sufficient demand for them. Students who desire to take any of these courses are advised to communicate with the principal as soon as possible, so arrangements can be made for the courses.

School Supervision and Administration The time is not far distant when progressive townships and small boroughs will require the services of a supervisor or "visiting teacher” to help with the work of the schools. Many of our graduates are elected to principalships which involve supervisory and administrative duties. They re­ port to us their need of help in this field. To meet this need we shall offer a course in Supervision and Administration. W e especially commend this to Nor­ mal School graduates who are preparing for or holding principalships or other supervisory positions. ZOOLOGY Zoology I.— General Zoology.
