It may be. a few more or a few less when the roll is, finally made up. I need not say that this is the largest fall term enrollment in our history. The signi­ ficance will be all the more apparent when it is .remembered that we do mot offer any of the special courses such as Music, Health, Home Economics, Art or Commerce. All our students are enrolled in the two or in the four year (B. S.) courses _ While we still believe in the relatively small college as distin­ guished from the larger, we’ll admit that we wished we had addi­ tional room accommodations so that we might have been able to enroll more than fifty students who applied for rooms that were not avail­ able. We were sorry to lose these young people. As it; :|p|more than that number are rooming outside the campus dormitories, but boarding in the college dining hall. It is interesting to note the growth of the four year student body..« Two years ago we enrolled forty six in the freshman class, last year the first year collegiates numbered sixty six, but this year eighty five enrolled. It will bte readily perceived that in a few years 2 THE TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALD each incoming four year freshman class will number not less than one hundred. It is safe to assume that two hundred freshmen will enroll every year for the two year course. This will mean an attendance of approximately eight hundred. We shall try to meet this situation by providing more dormitory accommodations in the main building. The State Council of Education has recently authorized the pur­ chase of the “ Myers property” adjoining the College campus, from the Pennsylvania Railroad. We expect to secure the allocation of sufficient funds during the next year to erect a new and thoroughly modern library ,on this property. We have outgrown our present library accommodations and students and faculty are looking forward to the erection of the library with pleasantest anticipations. Home Coming Day, Saturday,- November 3, will follow very closely upon the appearance of this number of the Herald. As stated else­ where, it was found necessary because of the growth of thé Alumni Association and the popularity of Home Coming Day to divide the Alumni into two groups made up of those who were graduated in the even and in the odd years. This year we will welcome the even year group, .their wives and husbands. Next year it will be the turn of those who went forth in the odd years. We expect a big turnout to the football game with California State Teachers College, to the dinner at 6:30, and to the dance and reception. With the renovation of the kitchen and the installation of new equipment the work on Old Main is complete. It is now a thoroughly modernized building with dormitories and class rooms unexcelled any. where. It is true, that time did not permit the repainting of the kitchen, but this will be attended to during the Thanksgiving holidays. The future prospects of the College are exceedingly bright. We must continue to prepare young men and women for the elementary schools as well as for the junior and senior high schools and for super­ visory positions. We shall continue to welcome students in the two year course. We realize however that the time is not far distant when the best positions, even in the elementary grades will require the servièes of a teacher who has completed a four year coursed Wë are glad to note that many of you who have completed the two year course are planning to return next; isummer to take up the advanced two year course. We shall welcome all those who can arrange to be with us during that session. • H'^g.ain we want to thank all of you for your continued assistance in helping us secure outstanding young men'and women from your communities as students. Our present çrgwth and prosperity attest your interest and help. Fraternally yours, Ezra Lehman, ’89 THE TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALD 3 IT W A S FORTY YEARS AGO (This is the fifth of a series of articles under the above caption that have appeared in the columns of the Herald. The January num­ ber will contain an'account of “ celebrities” well known to students during the seventies and eighties.) When seniors had received their schedules' for the fall term the question heard everywhere was “ What did you get in Model? This being literally interpreted meant “ What class and what subject were assigned to you as a student teacher in the Model School?” We didn’t have much to say about the selection, for it was generally understood that though we were invited “ to indicate any preference in writing” we werem’t likely to get thSclass or subject preferred. The theory seemed to be that since we were soon to become teachers in the public schools we ought to be able to teach any subject. The fact that we wanted to teach a subject was regarded as proof that we ought to be assigned another subject for which we were presumedly not so well prepared. I remember that one of my classmates, as absolute a monotone as .could .i'ftound, fearing that he might be assigned to teach a class in music asked for that subject, feeling sure that that was the surest way to avoid getting it-; But it didn’t work this time, and to his chag­ rin he was notified that he was assigned “ to teach singing to the Seventh and Eighth grades.” There were no victrolas to help out m those days, and even pitch pipes were in an embryotic stage> The young man was however, equal to the emergency. He secured a book that gave all the old time information about the technique of music. He dictated these directions1to the pupils, made them commit them to memory, and when it was necessary for any of the pupils “ to run thilscaieS” he appointed the best' musician in' the class, critic. We weren’t visited very often by the';,one lone critic teacher, but it hap­ pened that she dropped in to the music class, one afternoon after the farce had been in progress for more than a month, and insisted that the student teacher sing certain exercises/.?. The young man speedily developed one of the worst paroxysm s'of coughing that had been heard in that class room for many a day. It is a matter of record however, that the teacher was transferred to another class shortly afterward. I remember my own assignment in “ English and Spelling.” We used Davison’s Spelling Book. I was told to assign a list of words to the class to be studied and spelled. “ Studying” the words mean noting the spelling, pronouinciation (with special attention to dia­ critical marking), and the ¡meaning. I didnt know how many words to assign, but I remember that my early assignments consisted of fifty words, such as these: abraxas, abstinence, academician, acci- I THE TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALD dence. Let it be remembered that cross word puzzles had not yet been invented. Itv is1"interesting to noté, that the constructive criti­ cism I received from the critic teacher was: “ You’ll probably not have time to get over all the words and the pupils won’t pirepare their les­ sons when they know you woiii’t be able to cover everything.” Not a word about the type of words, chosen, or the absurdity of assuming that pupils thirteen or fourteen years of- age could possibly be in­ terested in the spelling, pronounciation, and meaning of technical and seldom, used words. As I look back over the Model School of those days I cannot help remembering the definition of “ model” in the story of the man who boasted that his wife had spoken of him as a model husband. His complacency suffered a shock when his friend called his attention to j 'the fact that one of the definitions o f “ model” was “ a small cheap imitation of the real thing.” Such was the model school of forty years ago. The pupils got their revenge by making the life of the student teacher anything but a round of pleasure. They were-quick to sense the weakness o f the young instructor, they knew how to make undectectihle noises^ and to keep the teachers on the jump, liter­ ally. When it is remembered that the only preparation that the student teachers had made for their work was comprehended in sixteen weeks study of Wickersham’s “ School Management,” no one need be sur­ prised that they were not more signally successful. It is little won­ der, too, that these boys and girls of the model schools, now full grown men and women with children of their own, are not always enthusiastic^ supporters of the co-operative teaching plans now in operation in many towns, whereby the student teachers in Teachers Colleges do their teaching in the public schools of the town. But the student teacher is mow better equipped for his work as a teacher, both by reason of the branches studied and because of the careful super­ vision his teaching receives than are most of the regular teachers who completed their teacher preparation ten years ago. We have pointed out the humorous factors, the absurdities'ianü the weaknesses of the old type model school, but it had some good points. It developed self-reliance on the part of the young teachers. The disciplinary problems made it necessary for them to prepare their work carefully and to be on the alert at all times. The writer is convinced that this training in the old model school enabled him to meet situations a few years later that might have been trouble­ some had it not been for confidence, poise, and judgment secured in the class rooms in what is now Miss McWilliams’ Cafeteria. Some­ how or other the pupils weathered the defective teaching and many of those in the old model school of the eighteen eighties now occupy honored places in business and professional life. THE TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALD 5 CHANGE IN COLLEGE CALENDAR The attention of the Alumni is-ealled to the change in the date of certain events in our College calendar. In order that these may be in harmony with those in other State Teachers Colleges we have made the following changes on our calendar. College will close December -21 for the Christmas holidays insfead of December 14 as fisted iff our catalogue. This'iwill make ifossible the following additional changes. Second Semester opens Monday, January 21. Training School Commencement, Thursday, May 23. Class Day, Saturday, May 25. Alumni Meeting, Saturday, May 25. Baccalaureate Sermon, Sunday, May 27. Commencement Day, Monday, May 27. The dates of the Philo Reunion, March 15; Easter vacation, March 22-April 2; and Normal Anniversary, May 3, remain un­ changed. The date for the opening of the Summer Session has not heeni definitely fixed, but it will be either June 17 or 24. The Alumni will be especially interested in noting the change of Alumni Day to Saturday, May 25. The earlier date should be borne in mind in arranging Class reunions. SECOND SEMESTER OPENS JANUARY 21 This second semester opens January 21, one week earlier than the date given in the catalogue. A t that time we shall rearrange our class schedule so as to make it possible for us to organize at least one new Section for students who will be graduated from high school in January, and who wish to continue their work without interruption. It will be possible for students, who though ready to enter in Sep­ tember were not able to do' so, to begin their work. We shall graduate about twenty-five boarding students at the close of the first semester. This will enable us to admit a number of new students to our dormitories. But the rooms vacated will be very much in demand. For this reason we advise prompt registra­ tion on the part of all who may be interested in coming to us in January. We know that some students who wish to enter will not have completed their high school course at the opening of our second semester. If such students are able to enter not later than February 1 they will be admitted. We shall be glad to have all our readers call the attention of young people of their neighborhood to this opportunity. 6 THE TÊACHÉRS C O lL È G È HERALD HOME COMING DAY, NOVEMBER 3 We had a splendid home coming day last year, but the pleasure of all of us was marred by one unfortunate condition-^-we couldn’t .accommodate all present even though we crowded six hundred into the dining room, filled the cafeteria, and had lines sitting in tablet arm chairs in the hall. We couldn’t admit members of the faculty, nor members of the football squad and there wasn’t room for even the orchestra. The Alumni present frankly recognizing the situation voted in favor of the plan submitted by the College authorities of having every member of the Alumni present once in two years. This year we will invite the members of the classes that were graduated in the evtennumbered years, and next year those who were graduated in the oddnumbered years will have their turn. This will make it possible for all to be comfortably seated in the dining room and to attend thjg reception and dance in the gymnasium. We know that all of the Alumni who are not included in this year’s invitation will cooperate in making this home coming day a success. All Alumni are of course, invited to attend the football game on Eckels field, but attendance at the banquet and reception must be limited to the graduates of the even numbered years, their wives or husbands. Each graduate is in­ vited to bring in a member of the Senior class in a four year high school. Remember the program. Call at the office as soon as you arrive and secure tickets for- the following: 2:00 Football game. Shippensburg vs. California State Teach­ ers College. 4:30 Alumni Tea. Women’s Dormitory. 6:30 Dinner in the Dining Hall 8:30-11:00 Reception and Dance in the gymnasium. Finally don’t forget to fill out your card and mail it promptly so that we may know whether you can be with us. MEETINGS OF LOCAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONS The Cumberland County Alumni Association will hold its annual banquet at the Molly Pitcher Hotel in Carlisle at 12 o’clock Wednes­ day, October 10. The Adams county graduates and former students will meet for a luncheon at the Gettysburg Methodist Church dining hall on Tuesday, November 13 from 12:00 to 2:30. The Franklin County Association will have a dinner in Chambersburg, Wednesday, November 21 from 12:00 to 2:00. Though we have received no official notification we understand that York Alumni have selected 12 o’clock noon Wednesday, Novem- THE TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALD 7 ber 28, as the date of their meeting.We have learned that the Dauphin Association will meet in Harrisburg, October 18, Mifflin in Lewistown, November 8 and Hunt­ ingdon at Mt. Union, October 11. Let all the graduates and' former students of Shippljnsburg in these counties arrange to he present at the coming annual meeting and banquet. ALUMNI REUNION A T STATE COLLEGE The Alumni of Shippensburg State Teachers College, in at­ tendance at the Summer session of Penn State, held a reunion at Laird’s Tea Room, West College Ave, State College, Tuesday evening^ August 7, 1928. There wer'efnineteen present, A short business sçssioini, with H. Edwin Harbaugh ’24 as chair­ man was held. At this time the Shippédsburg—Penn State Alumni Association was organized. John Mountz ’23 and Elma (Enyeart) Laird ’23, were elected president and secretary, respectively, for the coming year. Prof. J. K. Stewart, H. Edwin Harbaugh, ’24 and Edith Oler ’23 are a committee appointed to arrange for a reunion during the next Summer session. During the program Mrs. J. K. Stewart spoke very fittingly on “ Great Teachers.” Each member then brought a short message to the group, telling where each was- located and the type of work he or she was doing. Miriam (Aurandt) Harbaugh ’23 played very effectively two violin solos. Prof. J. K. Stewart spoke in his usual jovial manner and also read a message from Dr. Lehman, after which we gave one of our school yells and one for Dr. Lehman. After an informal social period we sang our Alma Mater and departed feeling that it was pleasant to have' renewed friendships and recalled memories dear to each one. Those present: Elma (Enyeart) Laird ’23 Prof. J. K. Stewart John A. Mountz ’23 Mrs. J. K. Stewart ’93 Eva Robinson ’88 Erma A. Fortna ’24 D. Margaret Wetzel ’24 Christine (Schoch) Cassler ’16 H.

OBITUARY WALTER Dr. John Walter ’86 died August 25, 192§. We take the follow, lfig from a Harrisburg' paper, THE TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALD 17 Dr. John Walter, former mayor and prominent practicing phy­ sician of Lebanon, died Saturday night from diabetes, following a long illness. Dr. Walter suffered a very serious attack of illnifs during his term as mayor and recently he was advised to go to the seashore in the hope that the sea air would prove a benefit to him. Only last week he went to Atlantic City, where death occurred.. Dr. Walter was born at Lickdale, in Lebanon county in 1858 and was graduated from Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia in 1889. For years he was a Democratic leader in Lebanon county, serving a number of terms as county chairman. HAIN Mr. George C. Hain ’92 died August 13, 1928.

NELL Mr. Jacob E. Nell, ’90 died September 15, 1928. Mr. Nell who died on the above date was a teacher in the schools of Steelton, for 15 years, but more recently a salesman for Ginn & Company, book publishers of New York City. He died at his home 434 Hummel St., Harrisburg, Pa., at the age of 62 years. REBUCK Dr. Charles S. Rebuck'’91, died September 9, 1928. We clip the following from a Harrisburg paper: Dr, Charles Stough Rebuck, aged fifty-four, eye, ear, nose and throat specialist and a member of the staff of the Harrisburg Hospi­ tal, died of kidney trouble Sunday afternoon at the Harrisburg Hospital after an illness of four days. Dr. Rebuck became ill Wednesday and was taken to the Harris­ burg Hospital Friday night. He was born in Harrisburg October 18, 1873 and received his early education in the Harrisburg Public school. Later he attended the Cumberland Valley Normal School, Shippensburg, from which he was graduated with the class of 1891. Dr. Rebuek received his medical degree at the school of medicine, University of Maryland. He was consulting surgeon at the Harrisburg State Hospital and at the Annie Warner Hospital, Gettysburg, and eye specialist for the Pennsylvania Railroad. He was a Fellow of the American college of Surgeons and a member of the Harrisburg Academy of Medicine and the Dauphin County Medical Society. Other organizations to which Dr. Rebuck belonged were the Perseverance Lodge, F. and A. M., the Harrisburg 18 THE TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALD Club and the Harrisburg Country Club. He was a vestryman of St. Stephen’s Protestant Episcopal church. During the World War Dr. Rebuck was a captain in the medical corps of the United States Army. THE TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALD 19 Selected List of Books in the Training School Library STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE Shippensburg, Pennsylvania 1 9 2 8 THE 20 TEACHERS COL L E GE H E R ALD FORWORD The compilation of this list of books has filled the spare time of its sponsor for more than a year, and has brought with it the charm of ever-new discoveries, and the keen joy of learning more and more of children’s books that can only come with careful handling day by day. It is oifered, therefore, in the spirit in which it has been made, that of stimulating pride in the habit of reading, and developing a surer taste for the best in children’s literature. That the list is a complete one, the compiler would make no pre­ tension. The collection as it stands now contains more than one thousand titles, and less than half of these are included here. It does, however, represent.certain authors and certain kinds of books that have been read with pleasure and profit by the children of the school, some of them more than once— indeed many times. The publisher is given to aid in establishing a Choice, if the read­ er is considering purchase, and the price is also given with the under­ standing that it is tentative only, and is subject to change at any time, without notice. It is hoped that the list may help to answer questions that often come to the teacher’s mind when demands are made or needs felt in relation to school work or play, and that it may serve to knit closer the tie between teacher and pupils, as well as to remind the former student that his Alma Mater stands always ready to suggest and aid.
