Voi. 32 JULY, 1928 No. 4 PRINCIPAL’S LETTER TO THE ALUMNI Fellow Alumnus: O f course Class Day, Alumni Reunion, and Commencement are things of the past but their memories linger with us— and they are pleasant ones. The weather man made a comprise with -us by giving us a pleasant, bright, clear day for Class Day and Alumni Exercises,..'but he resigned the reins (this pun was really unintentional) to ;|upiterhRhivius on Sunday night and Monday morning. Consequently Baccalaureate Services and Commence­ ment were anything but dry. The Class Day program was unusually good; ailj: the speakers spoke clearly and distinctly so that the '.|||rge out-of-doors assemblage had no difficulty in hearing them. W e have had larger turnouts at the Alumni Reunion, but what the group lacked in numbers it made up in enthusiasm. O f course the program was preceded by the proce§|ion. Forty-three classes were represented. The addresses were exceptionally good, short, humorous and to the point. Some of the class reunions were wellSatbfinded, but taken as a whole, the attendance at these functions; w a p not nearly as large as usual. • Many of the Alumni expressed the opinion that thE| large attendance,,of Alumni on Home Coming Day and the various impromptu reunions that featured that event led to a falling off in 2 T he T eachers C ollege H erald attendance at the June exercises. JgjjNs’ssifelj they are correct in their judgment, but we cannot help expressing the hope that the falling off in attendance at the June exercises may be but temporary and that next year may witnep^one .o;f the largest gatherings in the history of the Alumni. The ¿{tendance on Home Coming Day last fall was most gratifying and the massed Alumni testified their devotion to their Alma Matée in no uncertain tones. But Home Coming Day cannot take the place of Alumni Day with its;' Class Reunions and its get-to-gether spirit. Let us all plan for a big Alumni Day in 1929. The Summer Se|||on of six weeks is now well under way— and we are agreeably suprised at the number enrolled. W e had every reason to anticipate a falling off in attendance. The fact that no high school graduates without teaching experience can isfecur^ certificates Jly ’ attending thj® Summer Session cut off at least one hundred and fifty from our registration. Then, too, nineg| per c e á | o f the teachers in our service area hold Standard, .Normal or College certificates. To our surprise, our attendance isfbnly seventeen below that of.j^ R ^ jfear. ït | j| | most gratifying to®note ; that the large en||llment is due to the presence o f so many of the graduate's, of the two and three year courses: who have begun work on the four year coursé|j|: The increased enrollment of this group oyer that :of last year is almost seventy-five per cent and it is more than double that of two years ago. In a previous issue of the Herald, we noted the improvements and additions to our plant that will' be; made as- speedily as possible after the conclusion of the Summer Session. These involve the complete renovation of the kitchen and its equipment with thoroughly modern cooking equipment, the erection of an extension to the Women’s Dormitory with fire., tower, lavatories, rl|É frootns, R-ítc- ThÉ| change will make it possible for usv td provide rooming accommodations: Tor eighteen more students:; W e expect to ¿secure’ the additional land necessary for the location of the library and recitation" hall. W ork will undoubtedly be started upon thisfjbuilding within the next year. ¿ ’Jjot only '¡igè we able to record these -évidences .of material prosperity but we are glad to record the presence of an increasingly fine student body. p T h e four year course with its collegiate degree appeals to a large body of young men and women. Our graduates in thisjcourse had no difficulty inlilecuring excellent positions in Junior and Senior High Schools. W e shall continue to offer the tw ^ yearg courses as it meets a necessary need in the elementary schools. A t thisgwriting we have rooms; itf our dormijh.ries for fewer than twenty additional students. One of the interesting features of our enrollment is the increased attendance of men. W e shall 3 ™ 8 T eachers C ollege H erald 3 provide rooms in private homes located near the college for the students that we cannot accomodate in our campus dormitories* W e appreciate the splendid .support that you fellow members of the' Alumni have given your Alma Mater. W e bespeak your continued cooperation in making our work still more effective. Fraternally yours, ... E zra L eh m an , ’89. IT WAS FORTY YEARS AGO ( This is the fourth article that has appeared in the columns of the Herald under the abmie caption. Theyf&tobeg number will contain a fifth, which will deal with the experience of the student teacher in the Model S'chhol.ffjl Forty years ago the “organization craze” had not struck normal schools— or indeed any other scholastic institutions. W e had not heard the phrase “ extra-curricular activities” and if it had reached our eafs we would not have understood its meaning. There were no dramatic, arts, and crafts, country life, debating, mathe­ matics or similar clubs. The two literary societies engrossed the attention of the students and incidentally of the faculty. A s the number of students at no time exceeded three hundred, it was possible for a student to know fairly intimately every other student. There were no moving pictures, automobile rides, no football or basketball games—-or indeed any extra-curricular distractions other than the literary societies. So they were the-“ Big Show” features of school life, W e have'spoken in an earlier number o f the Herald of the canvassing; for members by the adherents of the white and blue ribboners, of the verbal attacks made upon the qualities of the programs of the opposing societies, o f theHuestion whether the girls- of Normal were or were not better looking than those of Philo and whether the boys, of Philo were ort were not more intelligent than those of Normal. (It is interesting to note that forty years ago general intelligence on the part of members of an organization seemed to be a desirable asset.) In this paper we ar&TesS concerned with those rivalries than with the type of programs presented by the societies. A s we write, we have before us a number of the programs of both organizations. If imitation be the sinceresjl form of flattery, both societies flattered each other, for the programs resemble each other as: closely as. two- peas in a pod. The acme of perfection had in the judgement of the program committees, evidently been attained for there was little variety and practically no change in the type of programs presented from week to week, fflhis is a sample program of both organiza- 4 T he T eachers C ollege H erat.«' tions “ Calling to order by the President, Reading of Minutes by Secretary, Music by the Glee Club,; Referred Questions— “ What are the Seven Wonders of the W orld?” “ Who Closed every speech with the expression, ‘Carthage must bepdêstroyed- ?” ' (Possibly these were the forerunners of “ Ask me another” ), Recitation (or “ essay” or “ reading” ) by-HH Piano Solo by— , Debate, “ Resolved, that the assassination of Juiius Caesar was justifiable” or “Resolved, that thé South haf| a right to secede from the Union” or “ Resolved, that Grant was an abler general than Lee.” There were usually two affirmative , and two négative debaters. The judges, ¿three in number, were chosen from the student body arid cast their ballots at the close of the debate without corisultation. Then followed" “ General Debate” and if this feature of the program was .’‘‘dispensed with” it was regarded as a sign of “lack of interest in the work of the Society.” Sometimes, these debates were really -spirited and though the arguments advanced would cause a good natured smile to-day, it must not be forgotten that many a man (and woman) prominentSSbusiness or professional life bears testimony to the value of this training, haphazzard though it was. ï® h e n followed music by the willing, if not highly trained, Glee Club. But now came the most interesting part of the program, “ Miscellaneous Business;”« For here it was that new riames were proposed for membership and a worker would rise and announce: “ I take great pleasure in proposing the name of Mary Jackson as a true and active memberpf (Normal or Philo) Literary Society and ask that she be accepted as !'§uch.” . And no one was ever rejected for a roundQof applause bore testimony to; the fact that the motion had passed unanimously. “ Critic’s Remarks” were usually m oreljaudatory than critical for the critic usually commended wherever possible. Criticisms were usually confined to aÿ’statement, that ‘‘the recitation would probably have- been improved if the speaker had been able to put more time to its .preparation.” “ General Criticisms” were frequently omitted, but occasionally some récalcitrant member of the society used the opportunity to castigate verbally the “powers that be (or w ere)” in the- Society. A t times, such criticisms were really constructive and exerted a beneficial influence in toning up and improving the work of the Society. With adjournment there was a rush on the part of the boys to town for the regulations required that all students be in their rooms when the “ten-ten” & ,ë ll rang. Old graduates delight to recount their experiences in coming up the fire escapes after all lights were out and the teacher-proctor fiiad made his rounds. A s we l|dk 'back over the programs of the literary societies,■we realize how crude much o f the work was, but many men and T he T eachers:*College H erald 5 women still recall th C lh rifflo f their iftrst experience in hearing the sound of their own voices, years ago, in the big chapel, “the little Chapel” and the “ Model School.” COMMENCEMENT PROCEEDINGS THE SENIOR BANQUET 'Saturday, May 26; 8 :oo'< P . M. One of the most enjoyable features of the ®mmencement Season is the Senior Banquet. Evej » dy.is in goo^hum orr the examinations are over and Class Day and Commencement lie K s f ahead Saturday evening, May 26, was the date this year and when we say that the banquet was just as enjoyable and the ||speeches just as good as on previous occasions, we have said enough* The menu speaks for itself.

The sun, was warm enough to take all the dampness out qf the air and a fine breeze prevented the day from being too hot for comfort. To the music of the College 'Band, directed by the student leader, Qeorge Light, the two, three, and four year classes marched to the platform erected on the south side of the campus. Just at this point we’ll let the New’s-ChronicLe of Shippensburg tell the story: The Commencement f e e r c i s e s of the Shippensburg State Teachers College opened on Saturday morning, june 2, with the Class Day program. This program was presented on the campus and was one Of the most entertaining Class DayJjin the history of the school., Monroe Gobrecht of Hanover, president of the four year clas|| presided,j while Miss Anna Burkin® Milroy, occupied the secretary’s chair. It was the fifty-fifth annual affair o f the'school. The College Band, which led the students across the campus and which played two numberslSuring the program, wall conducted by the student conductor, George Light o f Millersburg. Other music was furnished by a women’s quartette. Addresses were made by William Stover, Waynesboro, the president of the' three year group and by Miss Ruth . Ebersole, Hummelsto|Vn, president of the tw d jy ea r group, i t f . Stover spoke forcefully on You Have It-^Usejjptt,” his main points being:. Every man should ^succeed ; if he fails he doeflso only because he does -not use the talents that have been given him. Miss Ebersole talkedgm “The Educational Value of Athletics,” she urged the importance of athletics in the form ative'stage of citizenship.

The Last W ill and Testament o f the Class of 1928, in which the graduating group disposed o f their mdst valued?$i|sfessions, was read by MÍ;s| Mary Heiges, Y ork; Miss Heiges displayed a pleasing combination of humor and' seriousness-, Harold Gottshall, Harrisburg, in behalf of the C k| | | oí : 92f passed on the Mantle and the class ideals o f this year’s junior group represented by Miss Alice Beckley, St. ClairsvilJe,' È à y ::®he Junior High School group sang their class song which had been composed by two members of the claifj Miss Pauline Workman, Saxton, and Miss Maude Miller, Harrisburg. T he T eachers Ccjiii.ECE H erald 7 Following the class song the audience moved to the portion of the campus before Lehman Hall, where Miss McFarland, Everett, planted the Chjjlf; Ivy and delivered in a most forceful manner;; the “ Ivy Oration.’L The program concluded with the singing of the Alma Mater. ALUMNI PROCESSION AND RALLY Saturday, June 2, 1:30 P. M. There have been larger Alumni procesfsions than that which fell, in line behind the College Band at 1 ¡30, but if the procession lacked numbers, it did n o lfkck enthusiasm. Though many classes were not represented by large numbers," the actual number of classes in line was larger than usual. The'Rally was unusually'good. It is no disparagement of those who have spoken on previous occasions to say that the speeches this year were the best that have been heard by an Alumni audiehce for years. They were p o rt, “p ep p fl’ humorous,P and enthusiastic. Space does not permit comment on the individual numbers of the program, but all the speakers proved themselves masters and deserved the applause that they received. The program was as »follows: President’s AddresIBFrank Lehman, M.D., ’98, Bristol, Pa. Address of Welcome— Ezra Hehman, ’89, Shippensburg, Pa. Address— Roy M. Taylor, ’03, Shippensburg, Pa. Address— Earl H. Schaeffer, ’08, Camp Hill, Pa. Address— Jo Hays. T8, State College, Pa. Report of Executive Committee. Alma Mater A t the. conclusion' o f his address, JMr. Schaeffer, after reading a series of resolutions passed by his, class): pledging their earnest and most enthusiastic ¡¡support to Principle Lehman and the faculty, announced that his class had doubled the sum previously set apart by his. c la p af|a yearly prize to 'the student having the highest average at graduation. The Executive Committee nominated the following officers for the ensuing y e a r : President, Lenus A . Carl, M. D., ’99, Newport, Pa.; Vice-President, Supt. Ralph Jacoby, ’09, Carlisle, Pa.; Secretary, M rs, Mulford Stough, -07, Catlisle, P a l Treasurer, Hon. Quinn T. Mickey;- ’83, Shi||jbensburg, Pa. They were unanimously elected. The class of ’28 was admitted to member' ship in the organization. 8 T hè T eachers C ollege H erald BASEBALL GAME jfefSaturday, June 2, 4:00 P. M. The game this year was between the hard-hitting Juniata Y . M. C. A. team well known in railroad circles and the local college nine. A s the college season had ended two weeks previously, the locals were Out of practice and two of the regular members Of the team were not available. For the first six innings it seemed likely that our boys would experience their first defeat of the season on the home grounds. Sands, the leftShandedBuniata pitcher, had.' a delivery that our boys were unableMtò solve and though Taylor was pitching a splendid game, the breaks had been with the visitors and the score stood 4-2. in their favor— and there seemed little doubt as to the1 result. But those who left E ó r dinner or to catch the evening trains missed a reahjseventh..inning rally for our boys solved Sand’s delivery in that inning and pushed across four runs. T o show that this performance was not an accident, they added seven more in the eighth. A s the Juniata team went out in order in thè iast three innings, the score was 13-4 in favor of the locals. It was a big day for Bob Luse as he had four hits out of four times at bat. Gotwa.lt came next with three hits— one a three bagger stretched into a home run. Taylor held the Juniata men to five hits. ALUMNI PLAY Saturday, June 2, 8«©o P. M-. W e are again indebted“ to the News-Chronicle this time for its account of the Alumni Play. Play Presented “ The Patsy,” B arry Conner’s three act comedy, was the play presented by Shippensburg State Teachers College students before the student and alumni .bodies on Saturday evening, June 2. Equal honor might., be given to Miss ’Pauline Workman, Miss Isabelle. ¡Rider and Harold. Gottshall. Miss Workman,, as the tearful and quarrelsome Mrs. Harrington, did an exceptional fine bit oji". acting. Miss Rider made., a particularly charming and appealing Patricia Harrington and Mr. Gottshall played a Tony Anderson that made Patricia’s five years of devotion to her here entirely convincing. Monroe Gobrecht, Miss Virginia Davis and John Serif also deserve special notice forftheilfi; acting. Mr. Gobrecht combined the bluster, the humor and the fineness of Mr. Harrington in a manner rather more convincing that interpreta- T he T eachers C ollege H erald 9 tions of the Harrington Qfferedfefy more experienced actors. ^ Miss David as Grace Harrington yielded to the actress’ temptation to soften her presentation; interpreting a character without charm was a new role for Miss; Davis as she carried it through with, credit. Mr. Serff played Billy Calwcll as an impetuous, charming youth ready to dash into matrimony with Grace w ithout' the slighest notion of the .Mags the game held for him. The minor parts- of Sadie Buchanan, Francis Patrick O’Flaherty and “ Trip” Busty playe’d by Miss Mary Heiges, Augustus Dewalt and Stanley Gibbs, were all done with a nautralness and care for detail that assured the success.,of the LiCnil-’ The entire cast; with the exception of Mr. Dewalt, are seniors and- the fact that they have worked together in numerous other presentations, under the direction of Miss Edna Arnold, dean of women and dramatic coach, helped to make a finished production possiflg-J/J BACCALAUREATE SERVICES Sunday, June 3, 8:00 P. M. Never were more impressive baccalaureate Services held in the Auditorium than were those of Sunday evening, June 3. A heavy thunder storm precedecjgthe opening and it is, likely that many who Would otherwise haveiSbeen present were deterred from coming. But the Auditorium was, filled a half hourkbefore eight o’clock. The,class led by Principal Lehman, Dr. Bagnell and the ministers of the town marched in to the slow solemnly impressive Gregorian processional hymn “Integer V itae” which was chanted by the students. V-VThe program was as follow s: Processional Hymn— “ Integer Vitae”— Senior Class . Invocation— Rev, T. Me. Polk Doxology— (Congregation, standing) Chorus— “Were.. You There”—^Ifegro Spiritual arranged by H. T, Burliegh Reading of Scripture^-John 14, Verses 8-24— Rev. W . W . Barkley Prayer— Rev. W . H.

Offertory— Vocal Solo Concluding Hymn- -‘'The Son of God Goes Forth to W ar” Benediction— Rev. F. LaMont Henninger Recessional— “ Onward Christian Soldiers”— Senior Class (Congregation remaining seated) IO T he T eachers C ollege H erald Dr. Bagnell’s sermon was« a masterpiece of exposition and oratory. His theme was “ Personality in the World of .Tomorrow.” The rostrum was deeply banked with cut flowers and potted plants. The "Setting thus*produced was beautiful and effective. COMMENCEMENT .Monday,.Ju.ne’.;^,9 ¡30 A. M. A pouring rain ushereipin Monday, June 4, and there was no let up Jas the hour for the Commencement exercibb§|approached. The parents and friends of the graduates, however, filled the Chapel to overflowing. Promptly at 9 ¡30 thejiprocession moved with the faculty in academic robe and hood leading. The gradu­ ating class occupied seats on the rostrum. A fter the invocation by Rev. W . W . Barkley a chorus sang “A Hope Carol.” Mr. Charles Fitz of Waynesboro, an honor studenf of the two year class, in a delightfully whimsical essay pointed out the necessity of “hobbies” for schobl teachers and suggested various possible “ hobbies or avocations, if you prefer parade terms.'’’ " W illiam 'Stover also of Waynesboro was the next speaker, an honor student of the three year class. His subject was “The Rouble Advance.”;.*,1 He developed the theme* Ihat there must be progress along ethical as well as material lines in both national and individual life. William Dubbs o f Shippensburg rendered a fine piano solo and Miss Mary Heilman of Shippensburg, honor student in the four year .class, gave two well-chosen readings, “The Falconer of God” and “A. Farewell.” The last of the literary numbers-was an honor essay by Janet L ew is!o f Goatesville, a graduate of the two year group. Her subgdt w « M o w i » g the'C row d .” She stressed the present need of leadership. I f America is to continue, to progress; her leaders must; possess initiative, self-reliance and courage. A fter another chorus, “ M oon b eam s,from Victor Herbert; Dr. Lehman delivered the Commencement Address. His theme was “ Testing and Measuring.” He spoke as follows: Members of the Graduating Classes, Ladies and Gentlemen: For the fifteenth time it isj;my. privilege to Address the young men and women of this institution on the occasion of their graduation. In the years, that have passed I chose for my themes matters that seemed pertinentEgven important, but as .1 fe’ok back over those addresS6|^I realize how trite— how outworn, the senti­ ments therein expressed would sound today. Even assuming that there was at least a fair degree of ^Sincerity. and a modicum of truth in what w a | then . averted, I shall be the first to .admit T he T eachers C ollege H erald ii that these themes would not now challenge the attention of men and women in general or of the members ofithe graduating class in particular. The poet was right when 'he,; sang: “Time makes ancient good uncouth; They must upward; still and; onward Who would keep abreast th||truth.” My prSflem then was t^ fin d a theme that' would deal, with modern conditions as these young men and women will find them in a very modern world:-— A world that in spite (A its S ta y o r Thompson’s and other shibboleth making politicians, is .seeking to know th^f truth and ;tl|| realize that a liberal education means freedom from supersititiohp ignorance and prejudice. . These graduates are trained for a specific job. It will not.be theirs to go into the marts o f trade and direct!; the m &em ents o f the world’s bti'siness and commerce, and yet they will be expected to train the generation whose business! it will be to manage the nation^finances. • ¿They will not go into the "shops, the mines, >or the fields and fabricate, delve or toil that latent energy may become potential, and yet it will be theirs so to direct the natural abilities of the boys and girls that they may become skilled artisans and laborers. They will not for the most part'rspeak through t h | 'y | | ! | o r from the pulpit on civic 'and moral questions and ^ 5 they will control the men and women o f the fourth epate and thosefwho will Stahls as guardians of our moral andffijjigious life at a time when nerve energy is most easily directed into habife} of ©ought and conduct. But the world for which these men and women will train its¿citizenry §§:•riot the world with |$pch the faculties; o f our schools and collegdli .are best acquainted— the past generat||n; nor is itgiexcept to a minor extent, that in which these young men and womefif w ill-live during the nejkt. twenty y ea r|S § p | fe instead, that era that stretffheJp|st *§ little Heyond their p tep n t horizon1: they'w ill, we trust, enter into-¿and enjoy it, be able to adapt themselves to its' new and changed demands,; but the utmost that can be granted to those of us who have parsed life’s meridian is a Pisgah like view of . ip a s the shadows gro w , longer"fgward the western ..horizon. My f r i e h t l K l have no desire to indulge iff high flown stjphomoricflariguage on this oceasiOfifiand g | I return to my .'first cast thought— W hat theme ;canJB |elect that :£j;n an occasion such as this will challenge these men and women of the- graduating classes, to -fr keener analysis of their problems as they ¿take up their life yvprk and what can I p a y to yp.Uy their |j|arent% jand friends that may make this last half hour of their college life not entirely valueless ? While looking about for a theme, I happened upon a magazine article plP. Commander Byrd in which he tried; to answerBhe questions as to the. qualifications that he sought in the men whom 12 T he T aechers C ollege H erald he selected for his antarctic expedition. He: set forth clearly the characteristics that make for success in the dash into the unknown, life— challenging regions of the world. Just about the same ¿time I was privileged to be one of a group fortunate enough to hear a great captain of industry speak his mind freely- on the qualities that he and others. of his ilk are seeking for ih the great manufacturing field that he represents. He' said in substance, “ I am beginning to feel fed up on ‘efficiency.’ W e are in danger of making it a mechanized system of cost production, sales distribution, and overhead costs; of- mechaniz­ ing men and women in our employ as well as the machines they operate. W e have been concerned with dividends and we have lost sight of the human equation. I am now looking for men and women with vision and imagination. Vision that will see a five day|> even a four day week in bur industrial | lf e within the next ten years and with imagination that will enable them to put themselves into the places of the operatives, to know in advance how the non-working hours will’1’be spent,— to realize that the short week raises a tremendous new social problem,— Industry cannot shrug its shoulders and murmur, “That is not our concern.^ The speaker did not challenge as he might have with perfect propriety the greatest economic solvent of the age, the public schools— and yes— the private, the parochial schools, the colleges, the universities' of America and ask “ W hat are you doing to meet the changing economic situations that confront us?” George Meredith has spoken of a character in one of his novels “ Who could feel the winds-; of March before they blew.” It is not difficult to understand that there are three types of men and women everywhere in every trade and profession. The first class,, the great majority recognize the winds of March only after they have blown. These'jive in the past, their thought in religion, in politics, in business^ in education, in everything is determined by the past; Their religious beliefs, church membership, attitude oil moral and political questions are determined by those held by their parents and grandparents. Truth is a sealed volume to them. Wej* smile good humorecily at a report of men in the Tennessee Mountain's who are still voting for Andrew Jackson for President or who have | | t heard of the great W orld W ar. But are there not some of us who are. voting for men who bear the label of Jackson— or Lincoln— simply because they bear those labels!/ I§ it not also possible that though we have heard of the W orld W ar we have failed to learn its lessons, to realize th a t. whether we will or not, we are not isolated, free from alliances with, the rest of the world. In an age of aeroplanes, cables, radio, w ith ‘ our position as creditor nation to the world, we still quote George Washington’s farewell address and pride ourselves on being “ One hundred percent Americans”— whatever that may mean today. T he T eachers C ollege H era® 13 The second class are those who realizf||that the winds of March are blowing after they have begun to blow- But in reality we arc often confused- by the rush of the w ind^ w e do' not know from what quarters it comes, why it is blowing, nor .what it signifies. Thé only thing we are really sure of is that it is March, not December or June. W e know that we are in a changed wàld.Youth is not what it . once was. W e’ll agree that for the: most part the young men and women of this and hundreds of other graduating classes in our colleges areKrreverent and daring,— challenging established beliefs and shibboleths; inquisitive, anxious to taste the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil : — to know life through active participation in it. ' But we are not all agreed as to whether youth is to be condemned or éommendeteïor these changed attitudes. W e are not all sure whether the new freedom and daring are signs of a newer and better World: or whether they are the miasmatic heat flashes of a putrid and morally decadent civilization. I f we 'assume thatdfhe signs-Of the times are bad for Sound morality and the future Of therace we do not know whether to blame the young people them­ selves, or to charge the fault to their parents. There remains the smallest group, those who have studied history not as. the record of past- events, but as the key to a changing world; who have studied psychology, wot as a means of classifying the varying phases of mental life, but as an explanation o f human conduct, under the stimulus of passion, desire, or ideals. These men and Women believe that it is possiblê-^yes, necessary— .for history to repeat itself, but they know that conditions at no.time in the history of the world will be exactly the same. They know that as economic conditions change there, will be inevitable changes in social life. These changes will mean a changed emphasis on certain facts, in life, on subjects to be studied in schools, in attitudes toward social questions, toward the value of seemingly well established social institutions. The family, the church, state and national Constitutions will b e . scrutinized with jealous care by those who can feel the "winds of March before they begin to blow and who will have no occasion to feel alarmed when the storm comes no matter hôw strong the gale. My friends, I have no wish to try to speak in parables. I am anxious to put a few very 'practical questions to these young people, and I have, tried at I fear almost wearisome length to present a background before you and them so that the,;,few challenges I am about to put to them may , stand out the more distinctly. I. have tried to stress the fact that the big thing in life today from both the social and the economic standpoint is to be pre­ pared for the job that lies ahead— and that no standardized method 14 T h E T eachers C ollege H erald o f preparation: no matter how efficient it may have been in the past is likely to meet modern needs. Theite men and women have completed'Jfwo, three, and four year courses. Splrey will receive certificates and diplomas: indicat­ ing that they are, qualified to teach primary, intermediate; or rural grades, or in flunior or Senior High Schools. They “have been tested and measured t6f>ascertain their fitness for the Hob they are seeking and yet we realize that all will not be alikensuccessful in their chosen fields. Some, we trust, will pass speedily to the head pj: the j ’column and*':will in. -due time receive a -.captain’s commission. Time will speedily point out with unerring finger those, w ho'are destined to command and as certainly, those who w ill, fail! W'e havefistressed so much in th'esS days the. vaipe of marked natural ability ;.jghat educators are raising the question whether any young man or woman with arti'Intelligence Quotient of.- less than no' should be admitted to our schools and college's: This is not the time nor the place to discuss the value of natural ability tejtspas a determining factor in the admission of students for we are not yet fu.lly:f agreed as to what factp|s|?Should be considered in making up a students Intelligence Quotient but there are certain elements that will make Tpr Shccess or failure ,in the special hne&ypi endeavor. You, my young friends b f ;, the graduating classes, have a definitely assigned job ahead of you. ¿fortunately for you, the world at .‘l arge has .:ch’ai%|fflits point of view as to the nature of this task. Originally the work to be done was very simple: to instruct boys and girls so that they might be able to read, to write: arift to cipher: to read ¿so; that the Bible and the church catechism could be mastered: to write so as to make/One’s thoughts known to those who were remote and to do such sums in Arithmetic as might .enable the head of the family to make certain necessary computations in buying and selling. Other subjects. were added ¿blithe ffipuis||-df '-study as a real or supposed need; Arose. The pastor or the sexton —or in many cases the' precentor, or church musician, wasgSalled upon to give this instruction in connection with the church catechism. When church and school were separated the idea was almost universally prevalent that the only qualifications necessary for teaching was knowledge of subject matter H in d in many casBjfphe knowledge of subjeg matter required was so elementary that it Was little if any in advance of that required.,of the pupil to be taught. Many a boy and girl attempted to teach American History, Arithmetic, GeographyjSand other branches without any other knowledge than that contained in the textbook used in the school. That day is past—4 iut it is only in the Yery remote pastn|;|or there is ndfipne within the ¡sound of my voice of even adolescent age wholdocs not remember it. A few years ago We stressed four T he T eachers C ollege H erald 15 years of high school training as a pre-requisite from the, academic side with at least eight semester hours of professional preparation and now in September of this'-year the; State will require the completion of a four year-high school course and at least two additional years of profesional training including gtudent teaching in the public schools under skilled supervision. W e have gone far within the past ten -years. How far can be perceived only when we look back to 1918. Then a student in the eighth grade could legally teach in the public schools without one hour of professional study or preparation. Now >six # | ¡ ¡ ¡ of preparation beyond the eighth grade. ' Have we gjkie. too■ ,far or too fast ? The question can be answered only when we compare our own progress with that of othertístate.s. -We are Second; in wealth and population among the states of the^uátion. New Y ork leads us slightly but that state now requires the completion of a three year professional course in advaif||||of the four year high school academic requirement. New Jersey, our ..sister state, requires the .same Qualifications thatpwe.' require, but. pays her teachers approximately $200.00 more a year for the same;;,Service under a system of supervision that is a challenge to-our-.own Slate. A s a result, Pennsylvania loSgsiyearly large numbers o f our Aest teachels* to New Jersey,*'who have; served their apprentice period here and are now qualified .tffirender their best service. The New England states equal, us in scholast|| and professional requirements, but they have in a d d iS n a -selective system that requires that, a student shall rank in the upper hal-ti and in one state in the upper third I l f his class: before! he can h | admitted: to training for teaching. But from the far west conics the most advanced demand, Cali­ fornia’s, new re quiremerilMs graduation from a four yeafi course, with Baccalaureate degree from a teachers college for any position in the publfc schools with post graduate "Work |®f one year for high -School-positions and the Masters degree for high school principalship%;®ther western and m§§-western states have fallen . ii£fi| lihe-^ánd it requires no-^ife'cial training ggpia prophet to predict that within the next ten yearM these! qualification^ will be enforced in S u r own State. In fact the tren||teMinevitable, the more progressive communities1 are-i already asking ffór the ■ four year graduate not only in the Junior and'Senior High Schools but in the elementary grades' as well. With these requirements wiwjlpme universally the adoptBn Of. the single salary schedule, whereby every teacher will be paid the same salary— as every ,other teacher with, equal successful exper­ ience and academic and professional training. In other words, we shall pay the high grade primary teacher the|same salary that we pay the high|§chool instructor '‘With the same qualifications. When we realize that' in the very nature of things,: a l'ifge i6 T he T eachers C ollege H erald majority o í the children in our public schools will never pass beyond the. sixth grade, we should recognize how important it is that the teachers in the lower grades |||ji outstanding men and women, with broad vision, great sympathy and the finest teaching ability. Not until we make teaching in the elementary grades just as attractive financially and socially to the finest young women of America as we now make it to those in the upper grades, w ill we give equal educationaiBopportunity tij. ;.th||j children of the Commonwealth, ñor will; we be able to feel the winds of March before they blow- in our political and economic life. Our educational advance has; not .¡been accomplished without a corresponding increase in cost. W e frankly,.accept the challenge put to us in a widely circulated pamphlet entitled “ Sanctified Squander” in which the;'attempt is 1made to. show that money is being squandered on our public schools, ®|| i s .not our purpose to deal with the half truths and the misrepresentations in this and other publications,:' the purpose of which is to prevent educational opportunity being given at public expense to rich and poor á|jke. The .children vgf those, who- are. concerned with these publications will not suffer. Their parents are able to send them to expensive preparatory schools and colleges, but the children o f the nine-tenths|%( our people are those who would suffer if school and college- opportunities at public expense were denied, them. Let us scrutinize with jealous, care alLvfhe overhead expenses of our educational system. Let us. see to it that our tax assessments are fair and equitable, that the cost o f collecting tax¡¡! be ais low as pcjssible, but let us remember that more important than even our splendid highway system are the public schools o f the State, I f wjKwould economize where shall we begin? Shall we cut off educationaligpportunity from the,physically defective) the blind, the deaf and dumb, the maimed? from the mentally deficient? A chorus o f woulffl greet the attempt— for sound business as welLasl philanthropiC;|9pnsideration demands that these be given all therfiéducatio.n possible so as to. make them self-supporting citizens instead of paupers and wards of the Commonwealth. Shall we deny the best in our educational system to the children of our farmers and inhabitants of the villages and small towns ? Shall we make rural life still less attractive and add to the.unrest and discontent that now is manifest among these men and women who constitute, the. backbone o f Our civilization? Too long have the children .of our rural ¡ sections— the deseendents of the finest blood in our State, played the part of Cinderella in our educational life. W e must -give these children the same educational opportun­ ity, including Vocational High Schools at their doors, that we give the children of the foreign immigrant. Shall we depri ve the 'children of our cities and towns of the T he T eachers C ollege- H erald i7 opportunity to secure training cn ■ household arts, in the manual arts, in businesj§lt|in any of the fields now open to them? W e-ask the critics of our 'school system which ¡department do you wish to clpsêliÿ But we are told, by some that': they are not opposed-to the present organization/iff ■ ■ our'tchool system, but they do oppose the policy of the State in providing, free tuition to students|in post high school institutions, . This is- a big question^ It involves the public Junior College, the’ Stale universities/ and incidentally the State Teachers Colleges. A s far as it concerns||he latter institu-./j tions, I do not hesitaJl to say that as long as it i||the policy of pur government, not only to give free tuition, but also to subsidize to the extent of bearing .aill their living expenses, the young men in West', Point and Annapolis who are expectej- to enable the nation to come out triumphant in W ar, it cannot be an unwise poH cyl^r the State to pay the tuition qf men and women whose purpose is to keep us out of W ar and lead usjïnto th ega th s of International Peace and Prosperity. A n il now, my friends, T have tried t'P. show briefly how big the job is that lies ahead offlthesë young pefple and soÇÎ^turn to them in your presence with these final Words o f counsel and advice. Young men and women of the graduating classes of 1928: you are assembled here for the last time as'organized classes. Some of you will be graduated in the two, Offers in the three and a small group in the four year classes. But it matters not in what group vou belong, you are about to be marshalled into the world’s service and the test to which you will be subjected is this “ A re you able to do a man’s work or a woman’s 'work in your chosen field : ¡ A fter you have taken you place the world will not accept the fact that some of you have ¡¡¡ad but two years of training as a reason for your failure tb measure up to the requirement|§of your position. 'Y o u may urge youth, lack of experience or vigorous health, but these will be regarded as unfortunate admis­ sions o f weakness if you are forced to plead them as an explanation for partial or completé failure. Y our communities will "say to you, “W e are. trusting you With the education and guidance of pur boys and girls and we have . a right to expect you to be qualified for your job.” Now I know, that you will make many mistakes for you will meet unexpected difficulties, and problems for which no previous training, no matter“ ;H|w long continued, can adequately prepare you. I wish that you might all be' ■fortunate enough to begin your work under the guidance of an experienced professionally .trained, sympathetic superintendent or supervisor, to whom you could go for counsel and encouragement, j know What such help Would mean to you, how much better i8 T he T eachers C ollege. H erald your teaching would be from every point o f mew. So I congratu­ late those of you who have already secured or who may yet secure positions under such tutelage. But I knowBhat many of you must begin the job alone, out among the hills on Rocky Knob or Pine Barrens or other similarly weirnamed,|©ne-room rural schools; for probably the first time; , in the history of Pennsylvania there are more than enough teachers with standard qualifications to fill every position within its larders* if the applicants1:could be distributed properly. ■ 'Vi wish I could speak to those of you who will fill these positions, two weeks or three weeks after you have begun your work in September, as I have the opportunity of speaking to you now. I know that what I am about to say would mean more— much more to you then than it can po||ibly mean now. The best that I can ask. is that yoii. will then, remember this hour. ¡¡SThe novelty of your position will haye worn off, the lonelinesg’ of the job will haveEntered into your being, you will have been tried as to your ability to discipline if your school is large, and if it is small the backwardness, the lack: of school spirit’, the failure of your first well, meant effort to interest the people of your community will have been bornS?h.ome to you. You- will mis-s the social life to which you have been accustomed— and you may make a social blunder that will prevent your recognition by those whose help and encouragement you need. : ThisSis. the time when yqff- will pass, especially i f . you are a womaff; through one of the Gethsemane’s S l say it reverently) of your life. But if you win and ,come out master of yourself— ‘‘Captain of your unconquerable spul.’f ?i Y o u too',;shall bear the crown— invinctus. In that hour I am anxious that you shall see very straight, that you shall realize how large is your job, whether you have seven, eight or ten or twenty or thirty pupils. You are their teacher, their director, in loco parentis Yes, but larger even than that;— ■ you havfitraining, opportunity, vision that may have been denied t|t the^®arents. Will);you feel the j o y l l f mastery? W ill you enter into, the'lives, of these boys and girlsS-into the homes of the. parentsBinto the community— no matter how dead and insensate.-those may seem to be? W ill you sink yourself into the ■ community and so gain richer, more abundant life# for yourself ? I f youbstand this test and measurement,; you ^effluafified four ■ any job that lies,.ahead of you. Time, m yiypung friends, will not permit of. my, ,gging into further analysis of the positions that will open to you. You will all be tested from three points: of view. ..ffirst ,:SSfchola.stically. You must know what you are expected to teach. ¿This means that you must continue to be students during you r entire life time. Them Pgtor ipr the lawyer who ceases to T he T eachers C ollege H erald 19 study, to keep himself informed on new discoveries in medicine or new judicial 'decisionsjgand new layys. would speedily become a back number. You will just as certainl-flpg ready for the -.scrap heap if», you cease/ tp; grow in everything pertaining 'td1 your profession. "Secondly:— Professionally, You must keep abreastffihe times. You must realize that the curriculum is not a dead, static thing, but .Something to be->revised and changed to meet changing. ;|:pcial conditions. You must know how to teach, but every B in d copyist of devices may meet temporarily that requirement/ but you must know why you teach a subject in one way to the frith grade and still another way to the eighth. You must know not 'only the hiStory of education, but its philosophy^its reason-,for ibemgSas well. You must grow professionally. Thirdly :—-You must have common -sense, pfacticaMdealiSm, in meeting the problems of a work-a-day world. The men and women, the fathers, and mothers of your pupils are for the most part concerned in making a . livin g:— they have houses, "food, and clothing to provide for their children: they have never had time; or opportunity to plan for the. enjoyment of-their leisure, hours. For them a holiday means the gratification of some physical desire. You have go m e into their children’3 live|:>;to instruct them in subject matter, to help them choose the occupationbor profession for which they a rch est fitted, to open a wider horizon to them so that they may understand and enjoy their moral and artistic inheritance. You must have the confidence of parents and children if you are. to lead them along these paths. It is.at this point that the need for a combination of common Sense and idealism arises. Our young people are natural iconoclasts rather than conservators, of the ideals of the past. They are ready p t .scrap the. teachings/ of the past with all its conventions and moral codes. Here is where common; sense isH he greatest need on the part of the' teacher. She must be conservative in dress and behavior, as. long as such attitude implies no comnwiill with the truth. It may be morally right for you young women to smoke cigarettes,, to frequent road houses, to use slangy— not to say profane .language, but I want to say with all the strength at my commandslthat the woman teacher who avails herself ofgsuch opportunity isv/a fool and unfit to hold a position|lwhere example, is-' ten times/Saa important as precept. You men and women may not accept the religious, beliefs that are preached from the pulpits in your communities but until you are prepared to offer a substitute for the decalogue that will make life better and happier, common,isense wiljfgdictate that you do not try to weaken the beli|||§of those; w h « s lill find it a .source of strength and power. I am absolutely opposed to any law that wiM prevent a teacher from teaching .what he believgsito be a 20 T he T eachers C ollege H erald great truth whether in physical or social science, but I am just as much opposed to any young man or woman being allowed to use his position in the public schools for the purpose of tearing down what the ages have built up. . There are those who delight to designate themselves as the intelligensia whose criticism is directed against what they design­ ate as the “ bourgeons— main street” tendencies of American life, with its admitted admiration of public men like President Coolidge, Governor Smith, Herbert Hoover, because their thinking is very much along old-fashioned: lines— who find nothing but anathema in the professions of Rotary, Kiwanis and other service Clubs. One of the most brilliant of this group of critics has had Occasion topament the timidity of teachers, and their tendency to conform to the ideals of the community. W hat would this.i and ot-her critics have ? Those whom they criticise have made a decent lijë respectable, they hâve reared countless homes for the poor, atidpthe down trodden, for orphans; for the blind, and the maimed. This nation has stood forth among the nations of the world.! W ill you young men and women hesitate on which ..side you will ¡Serve? . L ife calls to you to-day. Yours is. thee inheritance'of the ages. The mistakes of the teachers and civilizations- of the past are before you for your avoidance. A ll their contributions that have made the world better are yours. Teachers, ancient and modern, hold up the torch for your guidance«, And let us not forget that towering high above others, pointing the way out of W orld Wars, and conflagrations, toward the day when, nations shall know one another as members! of one common family. “When the war drum throbs no longer And the battle flags are furled, In the Parliament of Man, the Federation of the World,” Stands for your guidance, and inspiration the great Teacher, who taught as never man taught— Jesus of Nazareth.” A t the conclusion of the address Dr. Heiges, Dean the College, presented twelve graduates in the four year course. The degree dfjpachelor of Science was conferred upon them. Thirtythree graduates in the three year course were next presented and received the diploma in that course. The last group to be pre-i sented by Dean Heiges were the 232' graduates of the two year course, who were awarded certificates of graduation. ¡.The follow­ ing prizes were then awardeiSjpleanor Kyner Boots ’89, Distin­ guished Service Medal. This medai is awarded annually to the student who, in the judgment of the faculty and student body, rendered most distinguished service to the College. Monroe S. E. Gobrecht of Hanover, Pa., was the recipient on this occasion. The Mary V . Long iffair ley prize for excellence in teaching T he T eachers C ollege H erald 21 was divided equally between Zora I. Murray, Goodyear, Pa., and William R. Stover, Waynesbotó;, Pà, ; .. : , • : ' Helen Penrod, Windber, Pa., and David Brandt^ Shippensburg, Pa., received first and second prizes, respectively, from Myrtle Mayberry Stough, ’07, for best short story. Honorable mention was given Ruth Brightbill, Harrisburg, Pa., and Louis Knohr, Gratz, Pa. , Mary F. Heilman, Shippensburg, Pa., was awarded the Class of 1908 prize for highest Scholastic standing made by a four year student. Helen M cKelvey, Waynesboro, Pallw as. the winner of the Class of 1916' prize in public speaking. A ljane Stante, Marysville,. Pa., and Bruce Stouffer, Newville, Pa., received honorable mention. The Louise Lehman prizes in debating were awarded as follows: First prize,. Roger Mowrey, Quincy, Pa.; Second prize, Evelyn ■ Stein, York, Pa. This Commencement marks the graduation of the last three year class. Hereafter' students will be graduated in only the two and the four year classes. The growth of the four year course has been one of the outstanding features of the last few yea'rs. • ATTENDANCE OF ALUMNI AT THE SUMMER SESSION The most gratifying feature of the present summer school is the large enrollment of graduates of .the two and three year courses. Practically all of these have enrolled in the four year course:— the majority in the B. S. course that fits for teaching in Junior and Senior H igh Schools, but a considerable number are taking the work for the B. S. course in Elementary Education. There is a growing need for supervisors and principals of school buildings in our larger towns. The demand: for graduates of the four year course is far; in advance of the supply. Superintendents and Boards of Directors have come to realize that the best training that can be given a teacher is that covered by the four year or the advanced two year curriculums. During the next summer sessions the courses will be so arranged as to fit in with the work already taken by students for the completion of the B. S, courses,1 The following Alumni are in attendance this summer: Bedford, M. Ruth, '23, Ship- . Burnshire, Wilma H., ’27,^313 E. Logan Ave., Altoona, Pa. pensburg, Pa.

Last year more than seven hundred graduates, their wives' and husbands crowded into the Main Dining Room and overflowed into the ànbexefçand ëv.en found places on arm chairs in the hall. It Was a most enthusiastic gathering, but the College authorities reluctantly admitted that because of physical limitations it would be necessary hereafter to divide the Alumni into two. divisions, those who were graduated in the even' numbered years.: :and.those who were graduated in the odd yéars, Éfn this Waÿ it will be possible for us- to entertain, all of the Alumni; in a period of two years.

Next year the odd numbered clashes will have their turn. O f course if any of our Alumni of the odd numbered classes are fortunate enough to have married a member of an even year class, he (or she) is “ in luck” for that will mean opportunity to attend the banquet; every year.

Saturday, November 3, and the program— the football game with California State Normal at 2 o’clock and the big dinner at 6 o’clock. “FIRST CALL” TO CLASS OF ’89 To the members of the class of ’89 : It may seem a. far cry to next Commencement, but the months have a fashion of passing quicklye-%Rijd, ere we know it, 1929 and the end of the college year will be here. W e were, the largest class graduated from old. Kormal when we received our diplomas almost forty years ago, even though we numbered only" forty-two. Time has dealt rather kindly with us as only thréërtof our number, Bennie V.ydfloub : Flora Sefton Reading, and J.ohn Myers, have answered the last roll call. W e have reason to be proud of the record of our claisg Though this is not the time -nor place to recount, our individual and collective triumph!/ we may at least sound the first call of “ Get together, Class of ’89” for a reunion that will make all previous forty-year reunions sink into the background (even the celebrated forty-year reunion of the class..of ’86) and that will: set the high water mark for years to come. Let us keep in mind four things : 1. I f we want to have a real reunion, we must begin now to plan’ for it. 2. Let’s make it a hundred percent reunion by bringing back every living member of the cla s|f^ 3. .Let’s first make the arrangements for ourselves (and husband or wife) and then get in touch with the other boys and girls of the class whom we knew intimately forty years ago and see to it that they are here. 4. Finally remember that Commencement comes early next year. The date for our reunion will be Saturday, May 25. Let’s mark it down in red ink and say that means “ I’m going to attend the biggest and best forty-year class reunion ever held at Shippensburg,” .^.'^Fraternally, E zra L eh m a n .

ALUMNI PERSONALS ’78 W e are glad to publish the following letter from Mr. Hunter written to be read on Alumni Day in case any of his class should be here.

Now, according to the record, their remain but seven for sure, as it is known that nine have “gone on before” and two are not to be found. makes me feel somewhat lone­ some as only very few, if any, wjll have a fiftieth reunion in Room 29a on June 1st and 2nd. No doubt that all of us that are left have “ silver threads among the gold” and some are altogether entirely gray but it makes us all feel young again when we think of those happy days, and extremely busy ones too, spent at the old- C.
