But when the Herald is in your hands the first semester will be a thing of the past and the work of the second semester will be well under way. The financial depression has been acutely felt in our service area and the drought has added to the problems already confronting our people. We have lost a number of promising students because of their inability to meet even the comparatively low expenses inci­ dent to their course here. We have never appreciated our Alumni Loan Fund quite so much as we did. this year. It enabled at least twenty-five students to continue their studies with us. Members of the Alumni may rest assured t h a t ,their continued contributions to this fund will be greatly appreciated and in no way can they better show their appreciation’ of their Alma Mater than by making it possible for worthy students with limited means to continue their work here. Home Coming Day wasmne of the outstanding dates of the first semester. The weather was fine and more than five hundred Alumni of the even-numbered years were present at the football game and dinner. We were glad to welcome a large delegation of seniors from various high Schools who accompanied the Alumni. The addresses 2 THE TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALD of Dr. E. M. Gress ’96, State Botanist; Harry E. Gray ’02 of the Landis Tool Company, Waynesboro; and Clyde Ziegler ’10 of the William Penn High School, Harrisiburg, were timely and appropriate. Dads’ Day brought the largest turnout of fathers that we have ever had. We are all looking forward to Mothers’ Day on a date yet to be determined but which will be shortly after Easter. We are gratified to be able to announce that work on the new Library Building is well under way and we have reason to believe it will be ready for Occupancy by next September.' We need a new Gymnasium as we have outgrown our present equipment and a new heating plant has also been put in our budget for the next biennium. There has never been a time when the need of a liberal building appropriation was as urgent as it is now. We are asking the legis­ lature for sufficient funds to erect the two new buildings listed above. We shall appreciate your influence in helping us secure the necessary appropriation to meet our pressing building needs. The work on our new Athletic Field will Upon be under way and we shall soon have a field suited to the needs of our large body of women students and the children of the Training 'School. Our présent field will then be turned over to the men students. Remember that our registration for the fall session begins on January 1. A number are already enrolled and we advise early registration so that your pons and daughters and those of your friends can secure pleasantly located rooms. We can always provide good rooms-;if ;the students will register early. : Snovv covers the campus as I write and Commencement seems far off—but the months have a way of slipping by and before we know it May 23—Alumni Day—will be here. Last year the Alumni Reunions were especially well attended and interesting. We have every reason to believe that the classés; of ’81,' ’86£$91, ’96, ’01, ’06, ’l l , ’16,f|<21, ’26, and ’29 will be here in large numbers. My long per­ sonal acquaintance with members of the classes of ’86, ’91, ’96, and ’01 leads me to believe that something will happen when the “boys and girls” of those yesterdays come back. Dr. Heiges assures me that ’06 and ’l l “were no slpUjeheS,” and I know that the youngsters of ’16, ’21, ’26, and ’29 know ,how to;.,“reune”. . We give elsewhere the names and addresses of the presidents and Secretaries ofpthe classes listed above. Arrangements for re­ unions, including place of meeting, etc. should be made at the earliest dates possible. THE TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALD 3 Remember the date, Saturday,. M:ay 23, The Alumni Procession will form on the campusyiat 1:15. At 2 .o’clock the Alumni Reunion and Business Meeting will be. held. This session will adjourn at ¡§30. Many of the classes will hold their banquets and reunions immediately afterwards. Shippënsburg has three hotels: the Sher­ man House, the Port Morris Hotel, and the Morrison Hotel and Restaurant. All of these have suitable rooms for a banquet and dance. The; Women’s Auxiliary organizations of the Church of God, Lutheran, Reformed, and Penn Street United Brethren churches will furnish .meals- in thé “basements of their respective churches. But don’t forget that the important thing is to make your reservation early. . . Though 1931 will be well under way when this reaches you, I trust it will not be too late to wish all Of you a Very 'Happy and Successful New Year. Fraternally y o u r|f||| Ezra Lehman ’89.

A LETTER TO TH E GRADUATES OF TH E TW O AND T H R E E Y E A R COURSES Dear Friends: I am anxious that you shall note the opportunities open to you during our Summer Session. We know that at least half of our student body during the Summer Session will be made up of Alumni who are desirous of completing the four year course. The time is not far distant when graduation from the four year course with the baccalaureate degree will be required of all applicants for the higher type positions. THE teachers' college herald s You are probably iamiliar with the fact that practically every conference of superintendents and principals held during the pa,st year has recommended that the two year course be lengthened to four years. The Board of Presidents of State Teachers Colleges have recommended that no -students be graduated in the two year course after September 1935. This' does not mean that the present two or three year certificate held by .you will be. invalid, but it does mean th at preference will be given students who are graduated in the four year-course. Of course the better salaried positions will demand graduation in one of the four year curricula. Those of you who are forward looking are undoubtedly planning to complete the four year course just as soon as possible. You will note that it is possible for you to secure six semester hours of credit during the Summer Session. Our courses are tentatively outlined in this number of the Herald, but it is quite possible that many other courses will be given, especially if there should be a demand for them. If you are a graduate of the two year course, you may be interested in noting that the advanced two year curriculum is being revised and that a new course, much richer in content than the form­ er one, is about to be adopted.' This new course will ;be especially attractive to men and women who wish to remain in the elementary field as teachers,- supervisors, ,or principals. Undoubtedly the single ¡¡salary schedule will also be adopted. This will make it possible for a graduate' in the elementary field in the four year course to receive the same salary th at is paid a graduate of the same experience in the secondary field. We are planning to make the Summer Session especially inter­ esting and helpful to all of you, but we can help you much-more if you will write us indicating the branches in which you are interested. The April Herald, which will be in your hands not later than the first of that month, will contain a complete outline of the branches that will be offered, the schedule of classes, etc., but, in the meantime, don’t hesitate to write to us relative to the branches in which you are interested. A D V A N C ED COURSES FO R T W O A N D T H R E E Y EA R G R A D U A T E S D U R IN G T H E SU M M ER TER M The six weeks Summer Session opens Monday, June 22. Present appearances indicate that at least one-half of the stu­ dent body will be composed of graduates of the two and three year 6 THE TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALtl courses who are looking forward to the completion of the B. S. de­ gree. We were gratified last summer to note-: that more than onethird of our student body was made up of our forward looking Alumni. In the light of legislative action in numerous states since then we feel that the term “forward looking” is peculiarly applicable, to these students. For a number of states have raised the require­ ment for teachers in all grades to four years of -academic and pro­ fessional training in advance of graduation from high school, and a group at or near our borders have raised it to three years . 1*The two year certificates held by our graduates will continue to be legal in Pennsylvania, but when the holder of such ¡certificate wishes to secure a position in a B a te with a three -or four year standard, he will find that his tw o,year certificate will not be ac­ cepted. Even in our own state' a large number ,of superintendents and principals in progressive districts are requiring the baccalaureate degree or post graduate work in addition to the two year certificate. Certainly every progressive teacher who holds either a two or three year certificate should plan to complete the four year course as soon as possible. The summer course offers: a fine opportunity to begin or continue this work. One of the most encouraging features of our work is found in the fact th at one-third of our present student body is enrolled in the four year course. This course should be particularly attractive since the larger universities have accepted the graduates of State Teachers Colleges in the four year course as candidates for the Master’s degree. Our own B. :S. graduates were enrolled last summer in seven of the out­ standing universities as candidates for the Master’s degree. We believe this is aS it should be. The universities and large colleges should carry on graduate work in advance of the baccalaureate de­ gree and the Teachers Colleges should give the courses required for the bachelor degree. At the recent Educational Congress held in Harrisburg, borough and city superintendents joined in paying tribute to the work being done by graduates of the four year course in the State Teachers Colleges. They stressed the fact that these graduates were not only well trained academically, but that they were finely equipped profession­ ally, that they knew how to outline a lesson and to present it to The teachers coLLe CE herald •t pupils. They called attention to the fact that these graduates under­ stood the technique of teaching and that they had the proper attitude toward their work. _ This was a fine tribute, especially when we remember that it is only five years ago that this and six other Normal Schools were recognized officially as Teachers ¿Colleges. A teacher with one or more years of experience in the;, public schools will be able to secure a good position when he or she com­ pletes the four year course. Why not return for the Summer Se.sjg sion and begin or continue the work needed for this degree ? We want to offer the courses needed by our graduates. You can help us if you will look over the appended list of subjects and tell usT what two subjects you would like to take. Some of these you will note are Certain to be given. Others will be given if enough persons elect them. If you will notify us now, which courses you desire To take, we can arrange to meet your needs, but we may not be able to offer them if you and others interested do not give us the desired information. It may seem a long time till June, but'w e must make our arrangements in the matter of faculty and courses a considerable time in advance. Won’t you help us to help you by giving the de­ sired information promptly ? If you want a pleasantly located room, we ask you to send the ten dollar room reservation deposit as soon as possible. If you ex­ pect to come as a day student, it is not necessary for you to send re­ servation deposit in advance, but we do want to know the subject:*; in which you will be interested. In any event, fill out the enclosed registration blank. Don’t hesitate to ask questions about subjects in which you are interested.

Opportunity will thus be afforded for student teaching in all grades to a limited number of students. As it will not be possible to accommodate all applicants,, those who wish this: opportunity are urged to apply at once, indicating the group or grades in which student teaching is desired. Such persons will be informed whether it is possible to give them the opportunity sought.

Two types of class and study programs will, be used—the typical program for one teacher schools and the Shippensburg Adaptation of the Better Teaching Unit and individual help program in one teacher schools. The latter will be of interest to experienced teachers who are; eager for new ideas. .This work will be. in charge of Miss Han­ nah A. Kieffer, Director of Rural Education. EX PEN SES FO R T H E SU M M ER SESSION Tuition is free to all .¿students1; from Penngflvania. living outside the state must pay $35.00 tuition. Students; The expenses to boarding students from Pennsylvania are the enrollment-service fee of SI 5.00 and $48.00 for .board, furnished room, laundry, light and nurse’s and doctor’s services in the infirmary for a period of three days or less. A deposit o ften dollars is required so that a room- may be reserved. This. is. credited toward the payment of the enrollment fee when the student enters. •. 12 THE TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALD The charge to day students is the registration and service fee of $15.00 for the session. Books and supplies can be secured at the supply room. The cost of these items should not exceed seven dollars. All fees and expenses must be paid before the student will be admitted to classes. If a student is unable 'for any reason to enter College for the Summer" Session, the $10.00 reservation deposit will be returned provided notice of inability to enter is given not later than June 2. No reservation deposits will be returned after that date. Attention is called to the catalogue regulations: “Students will not be allowed to board outside the building except with parents or near relatives”. By “near relatives” is meant brother or sister, un­ cle or aunt, or grandparents. As all boardingj'i|tudents can be ac­ commodated in our dormitory during the Summer Session, this rule will be strictly enforced. R E G IST R A T IO N F O R T H E FA L L TER M The Fall 'Session (First Semester) will open Tuesday, September Registration of boarding students; will begin January 1, and rooms will be assigned at a later date strictly in the order in which applications were received. All applications for a room must be ac­ companied by an advance reservation deposit of ten dollars. This sum will be deducted from the first payment when the- student enters in September. 8. In case a student is- unable to enter as orginally planned, the advance reservation deposit will be returned if notice is sent to the President of the College not less than three weeks prior to the open­ ing of the semester. ^ • We urge a prompt reservation of rooms. This year a large group of boarding students were unable to secure rooms in our campus dormitories and are rooming in private homes in Shippensburg. They take their meals in the college dining hall and have all the privileges accorded students who room on the cam­ pus. Every indication points to a still larger number of students next year- who will be compelled to room off the campus. THE TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALD 13 All students seventeen or more years of age, who are residents of Pennsylvania will receive free tuition if they sign a statement indicating that it is their intention to teach a t least two years in the public schools of the State after graduation. The necessary expenses, exclusive of books, supplies, etc., are: Enrollment and service fee of $20.00 for each semester. This fee includes registration and keeping record of students, library, athletics, lectures, entertainments, student welfare, health service (including services of registered nurse and physician and use of in­ firmary for a period of three days or less), laboratory fees and the college weekly paper. Boarding, including furnished room, laundry, heat and light costs $288.00 for the college year of thirty-six weeks. The total necessary expense for the items listed above is $328.00 an­ nually. Day students will pay an enrollment and service fee of $20.00 a semester.

Forty members were present with a number from Mifflintown and Newport affiliating. A |l this annual ggi-together, Blair S. Hess acted as president and toastmaster and extended a heartfeltj greeting. He stated that they had met to unite:-;in a common determina­ tion to increase the good will between their “Alma Mater” and them­ selves and also that they were earnest in their desires to give the best that was in them for Shippensburg. Charles Coxe, superintendent of LewistSwn schools, was the first speaker and extended his appreciation for the opportunity of beirig with the 'Shippensburgers., He said “More of our students go to Shippensburg and more of our teachers come from there”, mention­ ing the many principals.! fpund supervising in local schools and the splendid services of the college. Mr. Coxe’s remarks were followed by the humors of Dr. Carl of Newport. Dr. Carl’s remarks brought much cheer and a 100 per cent Shippensburg spirit. In his closing remarks, he spoke of the re­ sponsibility which the Alumni members dare not shirk, to be exam­ ples to train the young so they will be a credit to the community, to the State and to the: nation. “The future of Shippensburg depends^ entirely upon the kind of men and women we are in our home com­ munity. Outsiders will look upon that institution and rate it accord­ ing to the kind and class of work we do. Let us Aver liye and work that we will place a credit on our Alma Mater”, he said. William Lynn made some very interesting remarksy :stating that he was a 100 per cent for Shippensburg, because Shippensburg did' a lot for him. Paul Shull and Paul S. Lehman responded to their introductions. Dr. Heiges brought greetings from, the Alma Mater and Dr. Ezra Lehman. He spoke of the warm spot in his heart for the asso­ ciation in the Juniata Valley. “The young men and women of this ass sociation speak well for the institution in what they do and say. The Shippensburg students know what they are doing, how they’re doing it, when they’re doing it and why they’re doing it,” he declared. This year %ere graduated 260 odd students, ,51 in the four-year course, with B. S. degrees the first four-year class. In closing he stated that he was always delighted to be with the boys and girls who have been in his: classes. “You are welcome, thrice welcome, to come back to see us, home coming being November 18, this being the even year classes.” 16 THE TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALD Prof. Shearer brought ¡greetings and remarks dealing -with the changes of our ideas of y.outh, ideas of work, ideas of obligation. “Our college has been increasing in progressiveness and building programs, because our high school, preparatory schools are increas­ ing. “We are improving the qualifications of our teachers’ staff each year. In closing, I don’t want to become an after dinner speaker, but a good teacher someday for the way we teach is the way you will teach when you go away from us.” The banqueting was closed with the singing of the “Alma Mater”. A short but important business meeting was held. It was decid­ ed to change the name of the association from Mifflin County to the Juniata Valley Association and an Alumni fund was started to send a worthy boy or girl to the college who might not have the finances to go. The following officers were elected for the coming year: Presi­ dent, Calder Geedy, Lewistown; Vice-President, Paul Shull, Lewistown; Secretary and Treasurer, Mildred Beshore, Mifflin. Following the business meeting, dancing and card playing was enjoyed. Music was furnished by Leopold’s Ambassadors. Perry County The annual banquet of the Perry County Alumni Association of Shippensburg State Teachers College was held on Tuesday, December 2 in the social rooms of the Methodist Church at New Bloomfield, Pa. There were more than fifty persons present to enjoy the fine repast which was served by the ladies of the church. Those persons in attendance manifested a great deal of enthusiasm and were-much interested in what was going on at the “Old School”. Prof. Robert C. Coyle, Principal of the Marysville Schools, and President of the Association, acted as Toastmaster. After a few remarks he appropriately introduced the following persons who re­ sponded with short speeches: Supt. D. A. Kline, Albert E. Deckard> Dr. J. S. Heiges, Dean of the College, Miss Ruth Cunningham, of the Training School and Miss Eleanor H art of the Sihippensburg Public Schools. After election of officers, the Association adjourned with a de­ termination in the minds of all to work for a bigger and even better meeting for the year 1931. THE TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALD 17 York County The York County Alumni Association held its meeting Tuesday evening, November 25. The meeting was one of the most successful ones in the history of the York County Association. This was due to the splendid leadership of Mr. George Kauffman. The business and entertainment followed a dinner that was served at the. Young Men’s Christian Association. Thé business of the evening centered about the: scholarship fund the group is "trying to establish. Hon. James G. Glessner is very enthusiastically leading the Alumni in this. During the dinner Mrs. Robert Graybill and Miss-Helen Miller provided juvenile entertainers. Mr. Krebs showed the Alumni moving pictures, he had taken at the college. With Dr. J. S. Heiges’ address and Mr. Krebs’ pic-tures the group was greatly inspired. The officers who were -elected for the coming. year were. .Presi­ dent, Miss Helen Miller* ’25; Vice-President, Mr. Edward Maxell, ’30; Secretary, Miss Dorothy Rawhouser, ’30; and Treasurer, Miss Eva Senft, ’30. The meeting was closed by singing “Alma Mater . A T H LET IC S Some one has said the real value of athletics in an institution is determined by the action of the Student body and the team in the presence of defeat. It is easy to maintain a fine esprit du corps when the teams are winning one victory after another, but if there is weakness 'in the coaohing, dissatisfaction with the organization of the team, or lack of support by the student body, it will show, itself when a .series of defeats must be m et.-' Judged by that test-the football season of 1930 was a marked success for, though the team suffered more defeats than has|jfalien to the lot of any other team representing the institution for years.;: the spirit of the student body, the conduct and bearing of the player.*,, and the support given'the management could not have been better. The score in every contest except one was: close and our team lost in several cases by failure to kick goals;; The breaks of the game went against our-boys;in a number of games, but the men-came back for 18 THE TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALD the next contest ready to do their best and Coach Dresser closed the season with the enthusiastic support of the team, the student body, the Alumni, and the townspeople. When athletics are being criticised and assailed becaused of their commercialism, and the demand for victory at any cost, it is pleasing to record so fine a record at Shippensburg. RA Y M O N D G.

All of these means helped the child to reach a conclusion as to whether he wanted the free-going plants and animals in his environ­ ment. When studying the earthworm which the /children found when making their gardens, the problem was raised as to how this creature could get into the ground. After watching the'worm they found that its head was pointed, and its body was tubular so that it could swallow the soil where it burrowed, then carry it to the mouth of its burrow and deposit it. They came to an appreciation of why it had no eyes when they saw that it m ust push its head into the hard soil. They discovered that the worm w a|fdoing many things that aided the gardener such as loosening the soil, letting air, water, and heat in to the roots of plants and that this here-to-fore repellent creature was^of some use, and should be kept in the soil instead of being crushed or thrown about. During the winter season the birds that remain with us may. afford the most likely studies. We began by having the children name the birds they had seen lately, and by finding their pictures and placing them on the north wall of the classroom, while the birds that had gone south were placed on the south wall, Then the (A) question of why we admire and should protect the birds wasj raised. The following reasons were brought opt: 1 . Their songs cheer us, 2. Their colors please us, • 8. Their thrift and ability inspire us, 4. Their instinctive faith and adaptation show the power of Nature’s children to survjvf in the midst of obstacles, 30 THE TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALD 5. They distribute seeds of plants. 6. They teach us family love and care. 7. They feed on the'larvae of harmful-inseç|fe|8ÿ 8. They help the fertilization of flowers. 9. We admire their skill in flying and in nest-building. (B) The next step consisted of questions for guidance in the observation of the bird: 1. What is the bird? 2. Where have you seen it? Was it easily seen? Why not, or ■why? ■3. When did you see it? 4. What was it doing? 5. How did it get its food? 6. What food does it eat? 7. Where does it drink? 8. Where doës it stay in winter? 9. How has Nature protected this bird ? 10. From what does it need protection ? 11. What is its song? When does it sing? (C) What may we do to attract and help the birds? 1. Put out feed. Tray placed high enough so that cats may not molest. Tie food to tree branches. (Suet, sheaves of grain, crumbs, or loaf of bread). 2. Put out material for nests. 3. Put out water for baths and for drinking. 4. Be careful not to disturb nests, or scare bird from nest. 5. Build bird houses. ’ (D) Value of birds to crops. 1. The short eared owl’s menu is '75% mice. 2. The rusty blackbird’s menu is 53% of harmful insects. 3. The horned owl destroys gophers and ground squirrels. 4. Woodpeckers feed on tree boerers which are inaccessible to other birds. 5. ijjphickadees will eat as much as 400 eggs of the apple plant louse in a day. (The kinglet, brown creepers and nut-hatches eat this insect also.) 6. The meadow lark’s diet is 73%vof insects. 7. Half of the robin’s food is made up of animal matter. 8.

BOOKS A N D PER IO D IC A LS FO R T H E SM ALLER H IG H SC H O O L SC IEN CE LIBRA RY The thought of this compilation of science materials for the high school science library had its origin in the numerous requests that have been coming in during the past few years for assistance in getting suitable materials for such library. Since many of these requests have come very naturally from schools with meager facili­ ties and from districts where newly consolidated schools have arisen and therefore in communities where the pupils do not have the means available which are afforded those of the well-organized districts; that is to say, in districts where there is an attempt to start a library in general, the plan here presented is expected to be of service to such school districts in particular, but there is no doubt that all schools may find something of service to them. Since these requests have very frequently been made on the basis of monetary limits, an attempt has been made to arrange the books in groups according to the means available; the flist* group is the 32 THE TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALD smallest and least expensive; the second group involves additional expense; etc. Since the smaller the group the more representative the types of literature should be, efforts have been made to avoid duplications as much as is possible in the selection of the smaller groups. The plan is consequently -arranged from two viewpoints: the smaller the group the more effort made to avoid duplications and each group is estimated on somewhat of a definite monetary value. The cost of the first set or that estimated'under “a” is about $80; the cost of the second set or that estimated under “a” and “b” is about $160; the cost of the third set or that estimated under “a”, “b” and “c” is about $240; the cost of the fourth set or that esti­ mated under “a”, “b”, “c” and “d” is about $300; that of the entire series, exclusive of the reference books and magazines, is about $380. It is difficult to get much of a library for less than $80. However, if the limits ado to be less than that, the first half of the books listed under “a” will give something to start upon. It must be remembered that the field of science cannot easily be divided. There is but one field of human knowledge and any fact about a part of the field is related to ail the other parts. Subdivi­ sions, therefore, are arbitrary and not at all fundamental but are used largely for convenience only. To avoid repetitions, the addresses of the various companies are given at. the end of the list. These are numbered with the Arabic figures and the corresponding numerals are prefixed to each book published by that particular company. There are now a few con­ cerns in the country through which all books published may be pro­ cured. This is a great convenience for the purchaser. A few such companies are listed at the end of this compilation. A brief descriptive note of the character of the books is given in many cases where the titles themselves may not suggest the content materials. This may assist in making a choice where very limited possibilities are involved. Textbooks, unless very suitable and usable for reference, are not listed. These may be obtained conveniently by teachers gen­ erally. INTRODUCTION: 21 a The Wonderful Story of Science, by Inez N.
