During the summer the war became a very real thing to all o f us as the young men o f our community were called to service. From time to time we received letters from those who had expected to be with us indicating that they had been select­ ed for service in the armies that were soon to be mobilized. There was naturally much uncertainty on the part o f those who had not yet reached the selective age since their services might be needed at home to take the place o f older brothers who entered the army. Then, too, it was necessary fo r families to readjust themselves to the changed conditions economically and otherwise. So great was the demand for help that girls who had heretofore not considered the question o f work in factory and mill were induced to accept positions at the high wages offered. In many places girls took the place o f men as wage earners. I f we add to this situation an unprecedented demand fo r teach­ ers,— a demand so great that directors, and even superintendents found it necessary to urge inexperienced. young people to accept positions as teachers,— it will easily be understood that the number o f students likely to enter Normal and prepare fo r teaching would be materially reduced. We are therefore, very much gratified to be able to report that in spite o f the loss o f twenty-five or thirty young men through the conscriptive draft and the loss o f many young women who were in­ duced to take schools instead o f returning to school, we opened with an attendance that approached the record breaking one o f last year. 2 THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD Prom present appearance we shall not be more than 25 students short o f our last year’s enrollment. I want to acknowledge personally my debt o f gratitude to those members o f the Alumni and former students who sent us so many students this fall. It is the personal appeal that counts1 and our growth in recent years is easily traceable to the enthusiasm and earnest personal work o f the Alumni. I want to appeal to all o f you for a continuation o f this interest fo r there has never been a time in the past 25 years when the schools needed the services o f strong teachers as they do now. Teachers will continue to be scarce for years to come and salaries are likely to advance still higher. But o f what avail are high salaries if we do not have skilled teachers to fill the places? There are more un­ prepared young people teaching in the schools o f Pennsylvania this year than at any time within the last 20 years. I f these are to con­ tinue in the work they must receive training and direction. We hope during the next spring term to do the very best work along these lines that we have ever done and we want you to interest your­ selves in having young people come to us. We are particularly anxious also to have you use your influence in urging young people who are now in high school and the ungraded public schools to prepare for teaching. The schools havelosttheservices o f splendid men and women dur­ ing the past year. It is our patriotic duty and privilege to see to it that the education o f our people does not suffer because o f lack o f efficient teachers. Elsewhere in THE HERALD you will find an account o f the meet­ ing o f the superintendents o f this district at Normal School. You will note that our school is about to go actively into the extension and correspondence field o f instruction. We believe the time is ripe for this type o f work and that we are not doing our full duty unless we meet the demand that is now manifested. We shall appreciate your earnest cooperation in' making this work a success. In another part o f THE HERALD an appeal is made to our coun­ ty Alumni Associations to make their meetings this year the most e f­ fective in their history. Some o f these associations are very active. I f your own is not doing all the work that it is capable o f doing, will you not help to make it more efficient? Finally, we want you to keep in close touch with the school. We want to make THE HERALD more helpful in solving the problems that you have to meet. These plans will be definitely indicated in the January number and we believe you will find them most helpful to all o f you. With best wishes for a most successful and prosperous year, I am, Fraternally yours, EZRA LEHMAN, ’89. THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD 3 PRINCIPAL’S LETTER TO ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONS To the County, City and Borough Alumni Associations: My Dear Friends: I want every member o f the associations indicated above to consider this a personal appeal to you. Your organizations have been doing splendid work in the past. Some o f them are strong and vigorous while others have not been nearly so efficient in their service to themselves and the school. Your organization may possibly be remote from the school; its numbers may not equal those o f other organizations nearer Normal, but an effective organ­ ization does not depend primarily upon members near the school. One o f the most effective organizations our school main­ tains is the Pittsburg Association where the work o f splendid men like Edgar McCullough, the late Robert Watson and others like them is shown in one o f the most active organizations connected with the school. Dauphin county is not in this Normal School dis­ trict, but it sets the pace fo r every other organization in the matter o f work and enthusiasm. Other organizations have been most effective, but we appeal to all fo r greater effort at this time. Be sure to have a live meeting o f your organization this year during institute week or at some other time that is likely to be con­ venient fo r a large number o f your members. I hope to communi­ cate with your officers in the near future and to indicate to them a number o f subjects that I feel are o f common interest to all o f us. Among these I am anxious to have you consider the possibility o f extension work in your neighborhood. The newly organized correspondence work will make it pos­ sible for those o f you who wish additional branches on your diploma to find the means o f gratifying your desire. This work should be organized by the Alumni Associations. This appeal is, however, a personal one to you. Will you not make yourself a committee o f one to insure a good meeting in your county or city? Notify all former students o f the school and those graduates who are not teaching and have them come out and meet with you. It is highly advantageous fo r you to come to know one another. Members o f the faculty will meet with you wherever possible. They will be glad to see you and your friends. Sincerely yours, EZRA LEHMAN. 4 THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD A TRIBUTE OF RESPECT WATSO.N. Robert J. Watson, ’ 00, died Sunday, August 12, 1917, at Wildwood, N. J., aged 41 years. These lines from the public press brought deepest sorrow and regret to the many friends o f the brilliant young man who crossed the Great Divide after a struggle to regain his health that had been sapped by years of effort and industry. To the writer o f these lrnes the death o f Robert Watson is a personal loss I S H H B | him almost thirty years ago when he came to the Cumberland Valley State Normal School as a student from Huntingdon county. He was handicapped physically but no one ever failed to admire the brilliant intellect that enabled him to hold a front place among the students of his class. But other students have been brilliant and maintained high class standing. There are few, however, who could approach Robert Watson in geniality and wholehearted helpfulness. He was every­ body’s friend and probably no student at this old institution ever made so many friends as did “ Bob” Watson, but he never sacrificed a principle to hold or secure a friend. He was straightforward and manly in all his associations and every one who knew him rejoiced at his rapid rise in the world. After teaching a year in the public schools he entered the em­ ploy o f the Westinghouse Co., o f Pittsburgh, as a time clerk and in 1909 he was transferred to the educational department. Here e found his life work. He became a member o f the Casino Technical High School, then he was appointed instructor in elementary mathe­ matics and continued in that position till his death One o f his books “ Shop Problems',” is regarded as the finest work o f its type extant. “ Bob ” as we all liked to call him was a most delightful com­ panion. He had enriched his mind by European travel and study and could tell the story o f his travels in such a way as to hold the attention o f large audiences before whom he lectured. We all looked forward to meeting him at the annual banquet o f the Allegheny county students at the Fort Pitt Hotel in Pitts­ burg We all remember his hearty greeting, and his cheery smile. And now he is gone. We shall miss him from the places where we have been accustomed to meet him, but in the larger sense he is still with us. His work remains to bless all those who came m con­ tact with him and whose lives were enriched by his influence. No, he is not dead; he has been called to the larger service to which Bod calls those whose fives blessed and enriched mankind while on this lower sphere. THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD 5 A DONATION The principal wishes to acknowledge the receipt- o f money from two members o f the Alumni Association who do not wish their names mentioned. This money was handed to him during Com­ mencement week with the request that he apply it where he thought it would do most good. It has been turned into the Alumni Fund for the education o f students who need the help o f the school. The spirit prompting donations o f this kind is certainly gratifying. It is not the amount that is given but the spirit that prompts the giver that counts. We regret that mention o f this donation was inadvertently omitted from the July HERALD. SCHOOL OF METHODS Between three and four hundred teachers from Cumberland and Franklin counties assembled at the Normal School Friday and Satur­ day, August 10 and 11, for the School o f Methods which has been organized by Supts. Green o f Cumberland county, and Smith o f Franklin county, in connection with the faculty o f the Normal School. The weather was ideal and teachers from every part o f the two counties accepted the invitation o f the Normal School to share its hospitality. Space does not permit the discussion o f the individ­ ual numbers o f the program. All who were present will agree that the meeting was a very helpful one. The Round Table discussions were participated in by a large number o f teachers and the ex­ change o f views was most helpful. Just before final adjournment Dr. Lehman in replying to the resolution o f thanks that had been passed by the institute, invited the teachers to return next year fo r a similar meeting. The invitation was unanimously and enthusiastic­ ally accepted. A pleasing feature o f the institute not fully indicated on the program was the music which was under the direction o f Prof. H. L. Burkholder. The following program was rendered: Friday, August 10th, 10 A. M. Superintendent Greene, presiding.

The meeting was entirely informal in character,— a fact which probably added to its effectiveness. It was an effort to get together on the part o f the school people o f the district, to discu§B1 the problems that all have in common. . . . „ The following superintendents responded to the invitation of the school authorities: County Superintendent Greene o f Cumber­ land; Kauffman, o f Juniata; Roth, o f Adams; Shambaugh, o f Dau­ phin, and Smith, o f Franklin; Borough Superintendents Gordy, o f Chambersburg; Gortner, o f Hanover; McGinnis, o f Steelton; Reber, o f Waynesboro; Rife, o f Huntingdon, and Wagner, o f Carlisle. Associate. Superintendents Finafrock, o f Franklin, and Shank, o f Adams, were present as were Supervising Principal Shulenberger, o f Shippensburg, and Dr. H. A. Surface, o f Mechanicsburg. The conference on Thursday afternoon was devoted to the con­ sideration of the problem o f securing efficient teachers for the schools and to the possibility o f organizing extension and corre­ spondence courses from the Normal School as a center. The super­ intendents reported that fewer young people from their high schools were preparing for teaching. In many cases those who under ordinary conditions would have entered Normal School, have been induced to take short courses in business schools in order to secure positions as stenographers and typewriters. All united in deploring a situa­ tion o f this kind which is unfortunate not only fo r the schools but fo r the young people as well, in depriving them o f the benefits o f broad education that will be most helpful to them later in life. It was determined to urge high school principals and teachers to set the advantages o f teaching as a profession before the boys and girls in the high schools in order that they might be induced to prepare for service o f this kind. All the county superintendents m \ THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD 7 present stated that they had a much larger percentage o f inexperi­ enced teachers in their ranks this year than heretofore. Those who give promise o f becoming successful teachers will be urged to con­ tinue teaching and prepare themselves properly fo r the work. Dr. Lehman then asked the co-operation o f the superintendents in establishing extension centers in their respective counties. He said that it was the desire o f the Shippensbuig Normal School to come into still closer relation with the teachers and pupils. He be­ lieved the time had passed when a Normal School should confine its efforts to those who were able to enter its class rooms. It should carry its work to the teachers, their pupils and the patrons o f the schools. The Normal School was now ready to offer extension work to young teachers and other persons who were interested in the work. The subjects already arranged fo r were the biological sciences with special attention to their practical side, agriculture, drawing, household economics', community music, history, rural sociology and rural school administration, history o f education, and special methods in various subjects. These would be offered by the school at once. The opinion o f the superintendents was asked both as to the need and the practicability o f a course o f the kind indicated. The subject was thoroughly discussed by the superintendents the majority o f whom believed that there was at present more deinand for instruction in professional and pedagogical subjects than in the purely academic ones. All agreed that the project deserved support and pledged themselves to cooperate with the school author­ ities in helping to organize centers among the teachers. Dr. Sur­ face was invited to address the conference. He set forth very clear­ ly and logically the plan that he had worked out fo r extension courses in the biological sciences. He emphasized the desirability o f having our boys and girls come to understand and appreciate the world about them. He showed how a taste fo r country life could be developed by proper instruction in our schools. Work o f this kind would do much to stem the tide o f emigration from the farm to the city. The possibility o f effective correspondence work in academic and professional subjects was then discussed. Several o f the sup­ erintendents expressed the belief that courses o f this kind would do much to stimulate continued study on the part o f those holding per­ manent certificates or Normal School diplomas. These teachers would be encouraged to add additional branches to their diplomas. The superintendents remained over night at the school and the next morning after visiting some o f the earfy morning classes, all o c­ cupied seats on the rostrum o f the chapel during the opening exercises. By vote o f the superintendents, Dr. McGannis and Associate /Superin-' tendent Finafrock had been selected to address the students on be- 8 THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD half o f the superintendents. Dr. Lehman introducing them told the students that he did not know just why the conference had selected these men: possibly it was because o f their intellectual ability and success, or because they were the handsomest men o f the party, or because the other superintendents were more timid and bashful, but he assured the students they would enjoy the splendid message from both men. The students were not disappointed. Dr. McGinnis won the students with an appropriate story and proceeded to put two questions to them: “ Why are these superintendents here?” and “ Why are you here?” He told them his own experience as a youngs teacher and dwelt upon the opportunities open to young men and women who would consecrate themselves to the work o f teaching. Associate Superintendent Finafrock gave a concrete illustration o f the benefits o f education in clearing away ignorance and super­ stition. He told o f the sacrifice that teachers are daily making and urged the students to continue their studies till they had completed the course so that they might be better fitted for the good opportun­ ities that were theirs. The orchestra then played a selection and won the plaudits o f the audience. The conference reconvened at 10 o’clock and the superintendents were given an opportunity to pass judgement upon the course o f study in the Normal Schools. A lively discussion followed. It was the opinion o f a majority o f the superintendents present that the Normal Schools should emphasize still more the work in the primary grades. Special attention should be given to the teaching o f prim­ ary arithmetic and primary reading. Other helpful suggestions were made by those present. The question o f credit to be given by the superintendents fo r the work done in the Normal School and by the Normal School for the certificates granted by superintendents was discussed at considerable length and a satisfactory working agreement was effected. The question o f standardization of required reading fo r students holding provisional certificates was also discussed. It was found possible to agree upon a system that will give the student credit fo r the work he has passed successfully at Normal School. A general dis­ cussion brought the conference to a close. A resolution was passed by the superintendents thanking the principal, faculty and school authorities for their kindness and courtesy. In response to a wish that meetings o f this kind might be held more frequently Dr. Leh­ man assured the superintendents that another meeting would be called next fall or any time that the superintendents wished to meet at the school. Nearly all the superintendents remained until evening and spent several hours in visiting the classes in the Model School and the regular Normal classes in the administration building. THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD 9 EXTENSION AND CORRESPONDENCE COURSES AT NORMAL Mention is made, elsewhere in THE HERALD o f the extension work that will be organized at Normal during the coming winter. It remains only to make a few specific statements in regard to this work. A c mrse will be established wherever not fewer than ten teach­ ers or other persons interested in educational work, will enroll for the course. It will be necessary to hold the meetings at a place convenient o f access either by rail or other means o f travel. It is suggested that teachers o f a township or two or three townships combined arrange to take work o f this kind during the coming winter. best results are obtained where meetings are arranged every two weeks or, where intensive study is desired, every week. I f desired, two courses can be taken at the same time alternating each week. The best time fo r these meetings will be Friday evenings or Saturdays, but where a center is located near the school it will be possible to select a mid-week evening. The method o f conducting these courses will vary with the subject taught, but in nearly every case it will presuppose the study o f certain assigned work during the week, a discussion o f this work or a lecture upon it with a written report o f the work done from time to time. In some cases demonstration work will form a considerable part o f the course. This is notably true in the pedagogical courses. H The number o f meetings in each branch will vary from six to fifteen according to the type o f work given. It is not possible with­ in the limited space at our command here to give details o f all the work. All persons interested are invited to correspond with the schooi authorities with regard to this work and full information will be given. The expenses o f a course are not high. It will be necessary tor the center to arrange fo r the traveling and local expenses o f e instructor. In addition to this the expense will vary proably from $1.50 to $3 fo r each member. The number o f those taking the. course will enter into the question o f expense. The following courses wifi be offered this season: Rural Sociology, Dr. Lehman; Rural School Administration, Dr. Lehman; Severai courses in Biology with special emphasis upon nature study and the economic value o f plant and animal life, Dr. H. A. Surtace; History o f Education and Mathematics, Prof. Heiges; Aericuiture. Prof. Graham; Drawing and Household Economics, Miss Irene Huber; Courses in Special Methods with demonstration work, H H | Hls*ory„ H S- and European), Mrs. Stewart; Com­ munity Singing, Prof. Burkholder. In addition to these courses others are being arranged and will be given if there is a call 10 THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD for them. Correspondence courses will be organized in such sub­ jects as seem most in demand. The purpose o f the correspondence work will be to enable those who were graduated in the two and three year courses to add additional branches to their certificates by having their study directed while away from the school. It will also enable students who expect to be examined fo r professional or permanent certificates to prepare themselves fo r the examinations. All persons interested in either extension or correspondence courses are urged to communicate with the principal and full infor­ mation will be given them in regard to the work. 8SES8 NEW MEMBERS OF THE FACULTY The older students on returning to Normal missed a number o f familiar faces among the faculty. Among the missing were P rof. C. E. Fanning who has secured a fine position as a teacher o f English in the U. S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md. Prof. Fanning did splendid work in his department and made himself felt in many de­ partments o f school activities. THE HERALD wishes him abundant success in his new field. Miss Macy, who fo r the past three years has been an efficient teacher o f biological sciences resigned to ac­ cept a position in the Johnstown City High School. The other changes were anonunced in the July issue o f THE HERALD. As indicated in that issue, Miss Lillian Trego o f Swarthmore, Miss Marion Conover, o f Madison, Wis., Miss Minerva Adams, o f Ocean City, N. J., and Mr. Robert L. Myers, Jr., Camp Hill, had been elected to positions on the faculty for the coming year. Since that time three additional members o f the faculty have been elected. Prof. S. S. Shearer, who proved himself one o f the most popular and successful spring term teachers that we have ever had was elected to fill the position made vacant by Miss Macy’s departure. No selection could have been more popular with our student body, and the school congratulates itself on the acquisition o f Prof. Shearer to its teaching force. He is a graduate o f this institution, class o f ’07, and o f Ursinus in ’16. Miss Virginia Harlow, o f Auburn, N. ¥., a graduate o f Mt.. Holyoke College, has come to us to take Prof. Fanning’s place as head o f the English department. She has had successful experience in high school work and comes to us with the highest recommenda­ tions from her supervisors. She has already impressed herself upon the student body as a young woman o f much ability as an instructor. She will come into intimate contact with the readers o f THE HERALD as she has assumed the editorship o f this journal apd begins her work with this issue. Miss Trego will be her assistant. We be- THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD w lieve the interests o f THE HERALD will not suffer in the hands o f these capable editors. Prof. H. L. Burkholder, principal o f Bloserville High School for a number o f years and well known to our students as a former spring term teacher, has resigned his position at Bloserville to take charge o f the work in penmanship and manual training. He is well qualifi­ ed for this work and is so well known as a successful teacher through­ out the Cumberland Valley that no further comment need be made on his election. He has made an excellent record for himself as an or­ ganizer o f community singing societies and will continue that work in thé extension courses o f the Normal. RED CROSS WORK The students in the Domestic Art classes under Miss Huber ar going to get their credits by doing Red Cross work. Instead o f 1 making a set o f garments fo r themselves, the girls are sewing for l the boys at the front. At present, they are working on hospital I shirts, each girl making at least one shirt; pajamas will be their next j undertaking; then whatever is most needed by those looking after ft these supplies. The Red Cross Chapter o f Shippensburg is supplying the '"'d material used by the classes. A few girls o f the school are now knitting scarfs and sweaters for the local Red Cross and we are planning to gather together as many girls as wish to do the work, one evening a week, after dinner until study period and teach them to knit surgical sponges or wipes or any other similar pieces that may be needed and that can be used as pick-up” work by the girls while waiting fo r “ bells.” This work we feel will have a double value, that o f using odd moments for others which we hope will grow into a larger com­ munity service. > FRENCH A department o f French offering one course, first year French, as been created. The course is an elective and has been cordial­ ly received by seniors and juniors who alone are eligible fo r admis­ sion. More than fifty per cent o f the senior class have elected french and are meeting in two sections five periods each week. The junior class forms still another section. m ■ 9 work in French, as in any language, deals primarily Witn the study o f grammar. Hnf it lo —„.i H nl . 1. • records in the language are training the ear o f the student 12 THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD to gain familiarity with the Parisian accent. The classes are reading easy French stories and will before the close o f the year’s work read some good literature. The spirit o f the course will seek by recalling French history and teaching the rudiments o f French government and politics, art, and literature to sketch at least rough­ ly the character o f the French people. mssss PHYSICAL EDUCATION V In the department o f Physical Education every girl has been given an examination to determine her particular needs and limita­ tions. Schedules will soon be arranged fo r giving individual cor­ rective work to those who are in need o f it. The classes have been organized. The freshmen and sophomores are being given a regular graded course in gymnastics, games and dancing. The juniors have a course in playing and teaching games and gymnastics. The course for the seniors consists o f folk dancing and the problems o f physical education in the public schools. Hockey, the new fall sport, has already been begun. The game affords opportunity for all the girls in school who care to go out fo r the practice which will be given every afternoon from four until five. Class teams will be organized to play a series o f games fo r the school championship. 8888 FOOT BALL The football situation at Normal is acute. It is impossible at this time to prophesy as to the possibility o f our season being a success. We have suffered greatly by enlistment and draft and can but conjecture as to our comparative strength. However, let us not judge our team by archaic standards. The war in the throes o f its convulsions has changed even the athletic ideaLI No more can a school be proud o f its football team o f eleven ffien only. The call o f the country is fo r more men trained in the school sports. The aim is to have a larger proportion take advantage o f every op­ portunity to secure athletic training. The standard, therefore,^ will not be the number o f games won, but the number o f players trained. Of course the possibility o f victory is greatly increased when the squad is large, but let us put aside as secondary and unpatriotic the ©ole ambition to win games. Shippensburg: Normal September 21, the association held a “ Dog Barty for the purpose o f welcoming the new boys and getting ac­ quainted with them. The entertainment consisted o f initiation, games, music and refreshments. The annual social o f the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. was held on Saturday, September 22. The en­ tertainment was a complete success. The two delegates who were sent to the Blairstown conference roug very many good suggestions and ideas for the carrying on . the work, thereby showing that they had the welfare of. the association m mmd Their entire report centered around the thought o f what the Y. M. C. A. is doing and can do to better the lives o f those who are now or soon will be in the service o f their country. We still have our customary meetings on Sunday and Thursday evenings Our work consists mainly o f volunteer programs, in which everybody wants to take a part. We have found that volunteer work Plays a very important part in our meetings. The attendance is greater,and it seems to put “ Pep” into the meetings.

Blairs­ town is the Northfield for preparatory and normal schools. In the latter part o f June while our country was m the midst of w a r“ : assembled in the quiet town o f Blairstown | northern S w Jersey, for a week’s conference, about three hundred and fifty vounsr fellows from the different “ prep” and normal schools o f the eastern part o f the United States.

M. C. A. We learned that the day o f form­ ality is over and that actuality is what is needed. Again the task falls upon the Y. M. C. A. The speaker included Fletcher Brockman, George Irving, Tom Farmer, Robert E. Speer and others o f wide experience in the work o f the Y. M. C. A. Each one had a message that made a deep im­ prints upon the minds o f the hearers. And after each address, one could hear among the delegates such remarks as,' “ That was the most wonderful address that I have ever heard.” But we believe the greatest benefit o f all was derived from rubbing elbows with other fellows, fellows who hâve had the same problems, temptations, and experiences as we have had. Especially was this true among the Normal group, for the Normal School fellows got together and talked over matters, laid down plans for the coming year, and even planned to correspond so that we might be mutually benefitted. Truly, we can say that the richest experiences which we had at Blairstown were those that occurred in the delega­ tion meetings o f the Normal School group. We have one regret however, and it is that the number from C. Y. S. N. S. was small. I f there is a Blairstown next year, and we trùst there will be, we hope that there may be at least five in the delegation from the “ ivy covered buildings.” S in cerely® HARPER J. WENTZ, JO HAYS, Delegates. EAGLES MERE CONFERENCE On the morning o f June twenty-sixth, five o f our Y. W. C. A. girls, chaperoned by Miss Snively, set out for Eagles Mere. Those who went were Olive Garber ’19, Blanche Heiges ’18, Grace Fergu­ son ’18, Grace Zimmerman ’18, and Esther Secrist ’18. The ride on the little mountain train, which after a hard struggle landed on the mountain top with 175 girls fo r the con­ ference, lingers in the memory. To most o f the girls this was a new experience. The first glimpse o f Eagles Mere was a wonderful sight in the twilight. The lake o f which the circumference is three miles, is situated in the center o f the mountain top. We registered, had dinner, and then retired to our rooms which were cooled bÿ thé mountain breeze. In the morning, at seven o’clock all were aroused, and a half an hour later met in the dining room. At 8:30, the summons to the auditorium fo r assembly hour was answered. Classes o f two kinds— Bible and mission study— 16 THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD were arranged and also studies o f the various Y. W. activities. At S S o these classes were over. One hour o f the af ernoon was de­ voted to quiet and two hours were given to recreation. This » sis ted o f bathing, hiking, tennis and golf. The evening’s service consisted o f lectures and meetings o f the girls in the various .rooms A Sunday at Eagles Mere is never forgotten. Morning watch is the beginning o f the day. Vesper service is the most impressive o the day and church services are held morning and evening. Miss Conde, National Secretary was t h e i e a d e r o f t h e c o n ference and many noted people were there t Ch r i S and ideals carried away were many. Under this perfect Christian atmosphere, every one decided to be reading, and helpfulness to others. ESTHER SECKIbi. c. V. S. N. S.

QUINN, ’18. mi&a NORMAL LITERARY SOCIETY Readers o f THE HERALD and Friends o f Normal : At the begin­ ning o f the year, when everyone is busied with new school and social duties, Normal Literary Society is playing an active part in school affairs. All old members who have returned to us are going to work with a will and determination that marks the road to success. We have had many visitors at our meetings this term and have taken in twenty-six new members. Our Glee Club is doing excellent work and now has a member­ ship o f twenty-four. The Normal Orchestra o f eight pieces is also worthy o f commendation. The Society is well represented in the ranks o f Uncle Sam as the following young men are now in the army : Frank Carbaugh, ’17 ; Harry Taylor, ’18; Monroe Gobrecht, ’ 18; George Epley, ’19; and Fred Lamberson, ’19. To all interested in literary society work and especially to old Normalités we give a hearty welcome to come and hear our society song as it resounds through the hall, for “ Renowned throughout our land Her name illustrious stands, The champions o f the rights o f men, A valiant, chosen band. Then too, a noble train, Of cunning hand and brain, Give story to old Normal, Which ever shall remain. Secretary, Ruth L. Emmert, ’18. THE PHILO LITERARY SOCIETY The Philomathean Literary Society has begun the new year with bright hopes fo r a very progressive and prosperous future. The old members have came back from their summer vacation with renewed interests for Philo. Their efforts were seen when forty new members were received into the society the first few meet­ ings o f the term and we expeet this number to increase. The programs show by their excellency that our members are 18 THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD talented, active and alert. One o f the most interesting numbers on our weekly program in which we are specializing! is (the “ Surprise Feature.” One o f these that received approbation from all who saw it was the Philo Review given very originally by Miss Romaine Nell. A new orchestra consisting o f ten pieces has been organized under the leadership o f Mr. Norman Hetrick. Some o f the players are new members o f Philo and others are old. Among the old students are Rex Clugston, Marguerite Fleschutz, Samuel Shearer, Guy Snader, Ralph Angle, Zenia Miller and John McClay. The Glee Club has become a Philo organization and with Miss Adams’ direction we know it will be more o f a success than ever. Before it simply existed; now it is an organization. Every member is required to pay twenty-five cents. I f a member fails to come to rehearsal he is fined five cents from this fee; if he is tardy, two cents. When his fee is exhausted in this manner he must pay twenty-five cents again. Of course allowance will be made if there is a good reason for absence or tardiness. The patriotic spirit o f Philo was plainly shown when by a un­ animous vote a large beautiful silk flag was bought and dedicated to the boys who represent our school at the front. This flag will float continually from the rostum as a token o f respect to them. Philo invites and urges all former members o f the society and those interested in our work to be present at our meetings, to see the work we are doing, how our ranks have increased and to offer suggestions. We assure you all a hearty welcome. Mary C. Byerly, ’18, Secretary. »8 8 8 SCHOOL NEWS The first reception o f the fall term was held on Saturday night, September fifteenth, in the school parlors.

The receiving committee was made up o f the cabinets o f the two organizations with Prof. Heiges and Miss Snively representing the faculty. By means o f a satisfactory device the new students found themselves grouped with the older students and all repaired to the chapel where an entertainment that was not lacking in variety was presented. First came the “ Ringless Circus” with its clown, hypnotist, strong woman and other far famed characters. Miss Watkeys and Mr. Bolan sang the well known motion song “ Over There” with pleasing effect. The next on the program was the “Mock Wedding” which gave opportunity for every variety o f costume.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD 31 EXTENSION COURSES We give below a brief outline o f the extension courses that our school is prepared to give this year. We recommend this work to ambitious teachers as a most satisfactory means o f systematic di­ rected study. As credit will be given at our school for the work that is completed, it will shorten the time o f attendance required at the school. IT BRINGS THE SCHOOL TO YOU. The expenses are not heavy. It will be necessary fo r the teach­ ers or other interested persons to provide a place where meetings can be held and to arrange fo r the travelling and local expenses o f the instructor. Nearly all the courses are given for a very nominal rate, $50.00 and expenses for ten meetings. The actual expense fo r the instruc­ tion will vary with the number taking the course. I f there are ten members in the class the expense will be $ 5.00 each; if 20, $2.50; i f 40, $1.25, and so forth. In a few cases the expeses are slightly higher. As indicated elsewhere correspondence courses will be offered in a numberof subjects. This work can be taken by students individu­ ally or in classes. This will be a splendid opportunity fo r graduates who wish to add additional branches to their diplomas. It will also be o f value to students who wish to prepare for a professional or pennanent certificate. All persons interested should write to the principal for full particulars. COURSE IN RURAL SOCIOLOGY DR. LEHMAN Ten Lectures— $50 and Expenses. The cost to each person tak­ ing the course will depend upon the number enrolled. Text used: Constructive Rural Sociology— Gillettee, published by Sturgis & Wal­ ton Co., New York. The course will consist o f lectures, assigned readings, discus­ sions and written reports. It will cover the following points: essential difference between rural and city life; tendency o f young people to migrate to the city; cause and cúre; the present con­ dition o f the country home, school and church; the possible means o f improving these. Where desired an intensive study will be made o f the rural schools with special attention to the course o f study and the type o f teacher required. The question o f sanitation and its consequent effect upon the physical and moral nature will be considered. The question o f farm help will also .be investigated. The rural communities need efficient leadership and the part 32 THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD to be played by tbe borne, the church and the school in developing this leadership will be discussed. The rural problem is one involving a socialization o f all forces, economic, educational and religious. An effort will be made to show how this can be effected. NATURAL SCIENCES AND HORTICULTURE 10 to 15 meetings— to be arranged. Expense will vary with num­ ber taking course and number o f meetings. It will range from $3.00 to $6.00. . The Normal Extension Service in Natural Science and Horticul­ ture will be in charge o f H. A. Surface, Doctor o f Science, who has had successful experience in a similar work. It is thought best to offer this as a combination o f correspondence courses and peripatetic teaching. By the latter is meant traveling instructorship, to meet local classes or clubs at such intervals and times as may be found best for all concerned. A class in any community will be supplied with mimeographed lessons prepared expressly fo r the occasion, as­ signed reference literature, and will be met by the teacher once in every two weeks or monthly, as may be arranged at the time o f the first meeting. Among the lessons will be original and simplified analytic -keys fo r determining the orders, families, and common and scientific names o f the objects o f Nature o f various kinds, and all groups be­ longing to the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms found about us. Students will be taught how to make, label and preserve collec­ tions o f Natural History material and domestic products, and special attention will be given to the economic applications o f the subjects or their relations to mankind and human industries. Among the specific courses offered are the following: (1) Mammals; (2) Birds; (3) Reptiles; (4) Fishes; (5) Invertebrate Animals; (6) Insects; (7) The Butterflies; (8) Insects Injurious to Fruit Trees; (9) Insects Injurious to Garden Plants and Flowers, e tc; (10) Our Native Trees in Winter; (11) Our Native Trees in Summer; (12) Native Flowering Plants; (13) The Botany o f Cultivated Plants; (14) Minerals and Soils; (15) Horticulture, or General Fruit Grow­ ing; (16) Agriculture. Applicants fo r this service are urged to select the course or courses desired and write for further information to, Dr. H. A. Surface, Mechanicsburg, Pa. EXTENSION COURSE IN AGRICULTURE FOR TEACHERS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS PROF. E. F. GRAHAM 12 Lessons— $60 and expenses.

Persons taking this course will be required to do much reading and reference work together with as much practical application o f the instruction as conditions permit. The extension school instruction may be supplemented with cor­ respondence work when so desired. Arrangements as to time o f meeting may be made with E. F. GRAHAM, Shippensburg, Pa. EXTENSION COURSE IN HISTORY OF EDUCATION PROF. J. s ; HEIGES 12 Lessons— $60.00 and traveling expenses. The cost will de­ pend upon number enrolled. I f 10, the cost will be $6 each; 25, will be $2.50 each. Text— A Student’s History o f Education— Graves. Recommended readings from other books. Lesson Each lesson will consist o f a lecture by the teacher and 34 t h e n o r m a l s c h o o l h e r a l d a discussion by the class. A few; questions will be given in each lesson to guide the class- For example, on Greece. 1. Note that in education, as. in every great question, Greece was divided into two great rival nations, the Spartans and the Athenians, (a) What were the dominant principles, represented by the Spartans in contrast to the Athenian? (b) Do you think these great social and political principles still affect the educational system o f these states? (c) Can you trace any connection at the present, day between the politca l and social ideals o f a country and its educational system? 2. The Grecians gave much attention to music. In your school work, and indeed in your own life, (a) Have you thought o f the effect o f music upon your life?

At least two illustrated talks will be given in connection with the course. The time for the lessons will be on Friday evenings or Saturdays as the class determines. Any other evening may be selected if the meeting place permits returning the same evening. History o f Education has the power to rationalize the teaching as well as the course o f study. The work o f the whole course will keep this in mind. EXTENSION COURSE IN GENERAL METHODS PROF. J. S. HElGES Cost— 10 lessons for $50 and traveling expenses. The cost fo r each one depends upon number taking. It will cost $5.00 each if 10 take it, $2.50 if 20 take it. Text book— The Teaching Process— Strayer. Some collateral reading will be required. Recitation— Part o f the time will be given to discussion and part to lecture. Opportunity will be given for the asking o f questions rel­ ative to everyday problems. It is well to know whither our education is tending, and to un­ derstand the general principles belonging to the teaching process irrespective o f the subjects being taught. General Methods give this necessary information. Some o f the subjects to be discussed follow : Aim o f education and its realization. Instinct in relation to education— such as play, curiosity. Assignment o f lessons. TBE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD 35 Essentials in “ A Study Lesson.” Lesson Plans. Bringing school and community into close contact. Leaders in community— A. Teachers B.

The needs o f church, school and home are kept constantly m mind. The plan suggested is to enlist the interest o f the ministers, Sunday School superintendents, public school teachers, and other leaders o f the community. The scope o f the work covers the rudiments, drills m scales, time, measure, and enough o f theory to enable intelligent reading by notes. Heading by syllable begins with the first lesson. I f desired, the course of lessons can be arranged to lead up to the public program a t the close. , , I .. Books to be used and other like details can he arranged to suit the individual class. . 3- -3 1 While the number o f lessons can be made to suit the individual •class, it should consist o f at least 15. The place o f meeting is left to each community to decide. How­ ever, experience has proven that the church is to be preferred on ac­ count o f better lighting, heating, seating and size o f room. The expenses, other than books, transportation o f instructor, and car fare, would be a minimum o f $5.00 per lesson. Communities interested in a course o f lessons, as above outlined, should correspond with the school, and arrange fo r a meeting. I •shall be glad to attend any such meeting within return distance o f .the school and take up the work in detail. THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD 41 ARBOR DAY, OCTOBER 26, 1917. In keeping with the governor’s proclamation, the twenty-sixth o f October was observed at Normal School as Arbor Day. The rostrum in the chapel was unusually well decorated fo r the occasion. In the center o f the background C. V. S. N. S. 1918 pennants had been arranged in a huge circle from the center o f which festoons o f autumn leaves were hung extending out to the stage curtain. On this curtain were hung leaf-covered letters spelling the words Arbor Day. The front o f the rostrum was banked with large branches of* beautifully colored oak leaves. The program fo r the afternoon was as follow s: (Procession o f the classes with banners (Selection— Lights Out _______________________________ Orchestra Opening A d d re s s ------------------------------------------------- Samuel Shearer Song— To Thee, 0 C ountry--------------------------------------------Glee Club Arbor Day O ration ______________________________________Jo Haya Selection— Apple B lo s s o m s _____.______________________ Orchestra Recitation------------------------------------------------------------- Esther Kendall Solo— One Fleeting Hour------------------------------------------- Edna Spatb A d d r e s s -------------------------------------------------------------------Dr. Lehman Selection---------------------.------------------ :------------------------------ Orchestra Mr. Samuel Shearer, as president o f the senior class, conducted the meeting and delivered the opening address. He said in part: “ It is well that we should celebrate our Arbor Day thoughtfully f o r within our lifetime the nation’s need o f trees will become serious. The older generation can get along with what it has, though withgrowing hardship; but in our generation we shall want what Nature once so bountifully supplied and man so thoughtlessly destroyed; and because o f that want we shall be reproached, not fo r what we have used, but for the opportunities we have wasted. I f our Arbor Day exercises help us to realize what benefits each o f us receives from the forest and how by our assistance these benefits may con­ tinue, they will serve a great end.” Mr. Hays showed how the other great holidays such as Christ­ mas, Easter, and the Fourth o f July stand for something very definite in our minds, whereas our ideas o f Arbor Day are often vague. To make the conception o f Arbor Day more concrete fo r us, he gave a brief outline o f the history o f the day, telling how in 1872 the idea originated with J. Sterling Morton o f Nebraska. Eleven years later the celebration o f Arbor Day became connected with the schools, and the idea has now spread so fa r that this day is observed once or twice a year by the schools throughout our na­ tion. Mr. Hays Ishowed how every school teacher should do his bit on Arbor Day by planting a tree, by caring for that tree, and by im­ proving school grounds. He said in conclusion: “ We should aim to change the prevailing attitude toward Arbor Day. Let us make it 42 THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD a living day, one that the children will remember, and one that will fill the memory with pleasant and lasting recollections. May we plant a tree; may we care for that tree; may we improve and beautify our school environment and thereby create a greater in­ terest in our schools.” Dr. Lehman spoke commending the seniors fo r the program which they had prepared, and particularly recommending to the whole school the hearty celebration o f this day. He urged the students to go without fail to the further exercises on the campus where the planting o f four trees was to give practical expression to the principles voiced by the speakers. On the campus these four trees were presented to the school by representatives o f the four classes: Mr. Warren spoke fo r the senior class, Mr. Taylor fo r the junior class, Mr. Myers fo r the sophomores, and Mr. Markert for the freshmen. Dr. Lehman ac­ cepted the trees in behalf o f the school. w m % m I “Jot It Down” Have a fo u n ta in pen and n oteb ook handy. M ake your notes in ink so they will be permanently legible.
