VoLXXIX JULY, 1925 No. 4 PR IN CIPAL’S L E T T E R TO T H E A L U M N I Dear Friends: I was about to say “ we have ju st concluded our work” , but the ringing o f the class room bells and the sound of hundreds of voices in the hall reminded me that our work is not concluded: we are carrying on. W e believed that because of the large fall term regis­ tration, the attendance at the summer session would fall off materially, but we were mistaken. A deluge o f day student registrations on the opening days sent the enroll­ ment up nearly to high water and we know that the summer attendance will probably equal that of last year. W e have a strong force o f teachers with us and all in­ dications point to an unusually successful term. Now let me turn back to Commencement. W e didn’t anticipate a record breaking attendance o f Alumni, as we couldn’t offer a fifty year anniversary this year, nor could we repeat the historical pageant o f four years ago. But we didn’t give due emphasis to the fact that the classes 4 THE NORM AL SCHOOL HERALD of ’85, ’90, ’95, 1900, ’05, and ’15 would be on hand for their reunions. There may be another group of six classes that can bring back as large a percentage of its membership, but no group has succeeded in equaling the record made by the classes listed above. No one would have believed that it was forty years since J. G. Glessner, R. L. Myers, S. S. Smith, W alter Webbert and D. E. Zeiter were graduated from the Normal School, if they hadn’t talked about “ ’85.” Our friend Smith, ju st to show how young he is, closed his law office in Abeline, Kansas, gave the clerks a holiday, and came E ast to join his fellow classmates. O f course it goes without saying that the women o f the class were even more youthful than the men. The class of ’90 had a royal time, if you don’t believe it ju st read the communication writtten by one of the members published elsewhere in the Herald. ’95 with W . N . Decker at its head has always been in the forefront, and they came back to tell Shippensburg that they were as loyal as ever to A lm a Mater and to emphasize the matter Rev. J. S. Decker came all the way from Iowa. If any one questions whether the class o f 1900 excels other classes in “ pep” and ability to do things, let him ask J. Edgar McCullough. The fact that Ed. lives in Wilkinsburg, of which Pittsburgh is a suburb, doesn’t interfere with his being in Shippensburg when the class of 1900 needs a boost— and as one calls the roll o f his class we realize that he has a right to boast of its mem­ bership. O f course youthful classes like those o f ’95 and ’ 15 were expected to be here in numbers and there was no occa­ sion for disappointment. W ith classes like these holding the center o f the stage, Alum ni Day was bound to be a big one— and it more than lived up to its promise. The Alumni Parade was fine— bigger and better than ever before. President Decker struck the keynote in his address to the Alumni at the rally and the other speakers joined with him in calling for still greater service and work for old Normal. The speeches were unusually good; they were short— aggressive and entertaining. The announcement that the Normal School would remain at Shippensburg because the people of town and the school board had met the teacher training requirements o f the state was most en- TH E NORM AL SCHOOL HERALD 5 thusiastically applauded by the assembled Alumni who link Shippensburg and the Normal in their memories. The spirit of loyalty could not have been finer. Every speaker pledged his class to support the school in its efforts to enroll three hundred in the entering class in September and to urge members of the legislature to give liberal support to the school. The Commencement Exercises were largely attended in honor of the 208 young men and women who received their diplomas. And now we face the future confident that the past record of the school, admirable as it has been, will be but an earnest of still better and bigger things. W e believe that with your enthusiastic, earnest support, m y friends of the Alumni, the old school will continue to grow not only in numbers but in the finer and better things that make an institution great. Fraternally yours, E Z R A L E H M A N , ’89. TO H IGH SCHOOL G R A D U A T E S Y es, we are glad to say that at this writing we still have some rooms available for students who wish to enter in September. Our advanced enrollment is much larger than it has ever been but we shall have room for at least a hundred more boarding students than we could accommodate last year. W e shall close our high school department, thus giving us room for fifty more students who are qualified to enter the Normal School. The members o f the faculty not con­ nected with the disciplinary or administrative depart­ ments of the institution will all give up their rooms in the dormitory. In this way we will secure accommodations for fifty more students. W e can accommodate an entering class of 300, but we must limit our enrollment to that number. If you expect to enter, we urge immediate registration. Don’t forget that the Normal Schools are now doing the work of Junior Colleges and that students completing the two year course will receive two years credit in the leading Pennsylvania Colleges. 6 THE NORM AL SCHOOL HERALD You will receive free tuition and your expenses will be limited to the registration fee of five dollars, two semester fees o f $7.50 each, providing free admission to games, lectures, concerts, etc. Boarding, in furnished rr. baveur I learned much more than French.

Of ¡| B 9 1 i I B B S m you are g iving seems to meet the needs o f three-fourths o f your pupils This is a majority, will you content yourself with the belief— the ■ B R I 9h a r n,°,^ 0ur?e ° f study Will meet the needs o f a i pupils? Let the sixteen for whom it is not meant ■ M l B to a careful consideration of your own strength and weakness. Listen, “ Thou that teachest another, teachest thou not th y self?” But you will teach other things than the branches of the curriculum. I f you do not, you will not earn the THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD 17 stipend that the state has promised you. Some one has recently pointed out that teachers are now receiving more than a dollar an hour for the actual time that the law requires them to spend in the school room. The critic asks petulantly “ Isn’t this a high price to pay for hearing boys and girls recite their lessons ?” Our answer is “Y es, it is.— And if your teacher is not doing anything else, you are paying too high a salary”— But m y critical friend let me tell you that every teacher no m atter how poorly or how well qualified— teaches many other things besides the lessons in the text books. Every teacher in every school room teaches a code of morals. Legislators m ay vote that moral instruction shall or shall not be given in the public schools. They may it is true decide to require or to prohibit formal instruc­ tion but a code of morals will be taught by every teacher. The common virtues of life, industry, sobriety, honesty and chastity will be taught effectively by those whose lives and conduct exemplify them in action. On the other hand can there be any doubt as to the influence of the teacher who speaks flippantly of great truths that have stood the test o f time, who associate with men and women of loose morals, who violate the laws of the land prating about personal liberty? Such teachers may at times speak with Demosthenean eloquence in praise of beauty and goodness. Their examples speak with a force that their words lack. Emerson was right when he ex­ claimed “ How can I hear what you say when what you are is ringing so loudly in m y ears?”— And the still greater Tarsian preacher thunders “ Thou that teachest another, teachest thou not th y self?” In these days thoughtful men and women are discussing the question whether religious instruction should not be given in the public schools. In a day when the altar is erected in few homes, when the church no longer reaches great masses of our people, it is urged by many thought­ ful people that the public schools should be used to dis­ seminate the central and basic facts of religion. Men and Women of the graduating Class let me say that every one o f you will bring a religious or an irre­ ligious influence into your schools be you Protestant, Catholic or Jew. Every pupil in your school will un­ consciously feel your attitude toward religion by the manner1 in which you read the Bible in the morning service, by your contact or lack of contact with the 18 THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD greatest teacher that ever taught mankind, by your in­ terest in movements that make for the good of the com­ munity. You will teach the citizens of tomorrow in your schools. Our nation has sought to keep out aliens whose theories o f government are hostile to our own— and I have no word of criticism to urge against a policy that would protect the nation from the intrigues of foreign born malcontents but I wish to point out that while it is easy to keep out individuals it is impossible to keep out ideas. Let the nation look well to the men and women who will teach the youth of America. A recent survey o f one of the original thirteen states— a state founded by the most sincere and intelligent o f English emigrants, showed that more than sixty per cent of the men and women who were planning to become teachers were either born abroad themselves or were brought up in homes in which a foreign language is spoken. It is therefore easy to calculate that in less than five years the m ajority o f the teachers of Massachusetts will be either aliens or alien born. I am no alarmist and I would not lay a single obstacle in the path of the alien bom young man or woman who wishes to prepare for teaching. I realize how valuable has been the service of the teachers o f foreign birth in our great cities and in our mining communities in helping to Americanize their fellow countrymen. But I do demand that these young men and women be real Americans. W hat avail are the memories of W ashing­ ton, o f Memorial Day, o f Independence Day and Thanks­ giving Day i f the teachers in our schools do not feel the challenge o f a great past when these days are observed in our schools ? W hat shall we think o f the fitness of any man or woman native or alien born to teach civics to our boys and girls who does not feel a quickening of the pulse when he reads the speeches and letters— yes even when he hears the name of the triumvirate of great Americans, Lincoln, Roosevelt and Wilson. Men and women of the graduating class, when you teach the story of the settlement of the American Col­ onies, o f Valley Forge of the American women that treked across our great prairies to live in the log cabins where she m ight not hear another woman’s voice for m onths; will you be able in imagination to live those days that these makers o f America lived through? W ill THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD 1« vou in short go to school to these men and women and learn from them the lesson of what it is to be an Am eri­ can. If so you will be a true teacher, no matter where you were born or o f what parentage. . The great outstanding need today is leadership: wise __ safe yet progressive leadership. It has been asserted that the past five years have produced more isms than any previous fifty years. If this be true it indicates a revolt against authority and a groping about for light, leadership. This unrest is noticeable everywhere, in church, in political life, in society and in education. There are those who hail this unrest as a fortunate omen as a sign that men and women are thinking for them­ selves, but there are others who regard it as evidence of caprice and instability that bodes ill for the future of the church, the nation, society and our public school system. Let me rather join with those who refuse on the one side to believe that the safeguards that states and society have erected as a result of long years of experience can be safely disregarded but who refuse to see in the hesitation, doubt and unbelief of the present sign of moral and physical degeneration. People are calling for leaders who will lead them into the promised land of a bigger, better, saner democracy and they turn to those who would essay to teach and say “ prove your right to lead and we will follow.” In the face of this emergency I turn to you young men and women and like Pizarro o f old— I draw the line before you. On this side lies ease and pleasure, here you can rest, you are about to be granted a diploma that will give you a permanent license to teach school. You need fear no examination, you can drift along, you can avoid antag­ onizing the people of your community, you can be one of the crowd. Some will be farmers, grocers, druggists, you will be a teacher. You need not continue your studies, you can avoid making changes in your school system that will increase taxes— you can in short drift along spineless, aimless, vegetating rather than living. On the other side lies struggle and hardship nine months of constructive teaching followed by a summer session in school. Active participation in civic and religious organizations that make for the betterment o f men and women; standing firm for the right— for law enforce­ m ent; standing to the forefront when an issue arises in which the issue is the child versus the dollar. You will 20 THE NORM AL SCHOOL HERALD be misunderstood, your motives will be attacked, you will pay the price that every man and woman who has led humanity toward the rising sun has paid; loss of favor of the crowd. But you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you are numbered with the heroic souls who proved their mettle— who kept the faith. Pennsylvania calls on you for service. She needs 5000 new recruits for her teaching army every year. She has pledged herself to give equal educational opportunity to every boy and girl in her borders. To attain to that ideal she must give to the boys on her farm s and the girls on her mountains the same opportunity that she gives the boy and girl o f the city. This will come to pass when farm er and lumberman demand their educational rights. They will do this when a leader arises in their com­ munities who will point the way to the better things of life. Some of you will go out to the farm s o f the Common­ wealth. W ill you stand forth to do battle for the children of your community: Some o f you go forth bearing a special mission as teachers in junior high schools. W ill you do your work so well that every com­ munity will demand that the boys and girls enjoy the privilege of the newer and better things in education? Time will sift the gold from the dross. W hen you come back next year the process will be under way. During the year some o f you will make mistakes, failure will stare you in the face, but if you learn to profit by failure and use your failures as stepping stones you will be better than you were before. W hen you return in 1930, the process of elimination (so rapidly does time work) will be nearly complete. Leaders will have arisen— W ill all who are today classed by the faculty o f this school in the honor group, be there then ? Let me, for once, essay the role of prophet and make this prediction. There will be a marked shaking up in the strata of the class. Some in the lower third will have grown so much that they will have forged to the front. Others in the first ranks resting on too easily earned laurels will have been forced to the rear. Five years will test your moral fibre. It will throw out the student who copies in examination, who got things easily and as speedily forgot them, who bluffed his way through and imagined because he deceived one instructor he could deceive the world. The years will eliminate those, who have completed THE NORM AL SCHOOL HERALD 21 their education and it will advance those who have just begun their real education. Members of the Graduating Class: I quoted the words of the great preacher when I began in an effort to have you realize the greater truth that he who would teach another must not only know the things he teaches but he must actually B E it, L IV E it, IN C A R N A T E it. I close with another message from his lips: “ This one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth into those things that are before.” Y es my friends— forget the past with its victories or its defeats. Let the dead past bury its dead— Live, press on to the heights that must be scaled to the victories that m ust be won. The certificate o f graduation was then conferred upon twenty-one young men and women who had completed the work o f the three year course and upon one hundred eighty-seven who had finished the two year course. The prize offered by the 1908 class for the highest scholastic record made by a four year student was awarded to Russell E. Coover, of New Cumberland. Miss Helen L. Miller of Chambersburg won the 1916 class prize for excellence in Public Speaking with honorable mention of Irene L. Ritter, Loyesville, and Margaret K . Lehman, Shippensburg. Bonnalee S. Mort, 429 Walton Ave., Altoona, won the Myrtle Mayberry Short Story Prize. Olga Sadosuk of M t. Union and Agnes Anderson of Woodlawn received honorable mention. Margaret K . Lehman, Shippensburg and Helen L. Miller of Chambersburg were awarded first and second prizes respectively for ability in the inter­ society debate. W alter A . Strike, Shippensburg was the winner o f the much sought after medal awarded yearly by Mrs. Eleanor Kyner Boots ’89, o f Moore, Pa. This medal is awarded annually to the student who in the judgment of the faculty and student body has rendered most distinguished service to the school. Miss Margaret J. Ickes o f Loysville, Pa., was awarded the medal given annually by the Girls’ Athletic Association to the student who won the highest number o f athletic points. Dr. Lehman in conclusion expressed the gratification of the school authorities over the splendid spirit that had been manifest on Alumni Day. T he. finest spirit of 22 THE NORM AL SCHOOL HERALD loyalty and cooperation was shown by all the classes. The various reunions were large attended. He spoke briefly of the plans of the school for the coming year. Many important and far reaching changes in physical equipment will be made. The unanimous action of the Shippensburg school board in arranging for the introduction of the Junior high school course that will be available for teacher training purposes to the members of the senior class and the fine spirit of cooperation shown by the school board and local authorities insure the retention of the normal school at Shippensburg. The advance enrollment for the fall term is much larger than in any previous year. Everything indicates a still greater era of growth and prosperity for the school. CO M M EN CEM EN T W E E K N OTES The success that characterized the Alumni Rally and Reunion was due in large measure to President W . N . Decker ’95, o f Altoona. Prof. Decker is Secretary o f the Altoona Board of Education and is one of the outstanding men o f the mountain city. He and Mrs. Decker are tireless workers for Shippensburg Normal and the fine spirit that marked this year’s Alumni meeting can thus be easily accounted for. Dr. E. M. Gress ’96, the new president of the Alumni, is a worthy successor to Prof. Decker. Dr. Gress is widely known as State Botanist. He was head of the Science Department of the Schenley Park High School for a number of years. He has been active in the Dauphin County Alumni Association and is now president of that organization. Dr. H. M. Kirkpatrick ’06, o f Harrisburg, the newly elected Vice-President of the Alumni Association, is a member o f the widely known Kirkpatrick fam ily o f Path Valley, Franklin County. Three brothers were gradu­ ated from Normal. Dr. Kirkpatrick is well known to the people of Harrisburg as one of the leading dentists o f the capital city. The class of ’75, numbers only ten survivors. Three of these: Mrs. Zora L. Hollar Gettel, o f Shippensburg, Rev. J. D. W . Deavor of Harrisburg and Dr. T. C. Peter- THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD son, of Spruce Creek, represented the class at its fiftieth reunion. Letters were received from four other members of the class. Dr. Deavor represented his class on the Alumni Rally Program and gave us a fine, inspiring ad­ dress. Two classes contested for the honor o f having a repre­ sentative travel the greatest distance to attend his class reunion. ’85 presented S. S. Smith, Esq., o f Abeline, Kansas, but ’95 put two of its members into the running: Rev. J. S. Decker, of Moravia, Iowa, and Dr. Crist Hanlin of the Philippine Islands. Some one raised the question during the Alumni Rally, “W h a t fam ily has furnished the greatest number of graduates?” Even Miss Horton could not answer off hand whether the honor should go to the Ausherman, Fogelsanger, Gray or Rhodes family. A careful checking up followed and Miss Horton now announces that the Ausherman, Gray and Rhodes families are tied with six graduates from each family. The Fogelsanger fam ily has five graduates to its credit. A s was to be expected more graduates bear the name Smith than any other name, 43 in all. Fogelsanger comes next, 25 in number. One of our friends in New Cumberland informs us that in the course o f a few years he expects to hold the enviable record of father of the largest number of graduates from one family. Last year one of his daughters was gradu­ ated, this year her twin sisters completed the course, and next year the fourth sister will enter the senior class. There are several more sisters and brothers getting ready to come. So it looks as though our friend’s chance of taking first place was well founded. And they are all good students with creditable records. R E U N IO N OF C L ASS ’85. Home of Robert L. Myers, S. E. Corner Market and 24th Streets, Camp Hill, Pa.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD 1890 CLASS— 35TH R E U N IO N The Boys and Girls o f the Class o f ’90 made it lively on the Campus Tuesday, June 9th. They held the center of the stage during the exercises and also m the Alumni Parade. A ll credit is due to the hard and persistent work of the able secretary of the class, John Fogelsanger, o± Philadelphia, who made the reunion such a wonderful success. H e made all arrangements and attended to every detail for our comfort and enjoyment and as usual out of the goodness of his heart and pocketbook remem­ bered each one of the class with a beautiful souvenir. Twenty-three (23) of the Class were present and a happier and more jolly bunch of “ kids” you never saw around a dining room table. George E : Gray’ ^ d ^ of the Class was Toastmaster and presided with the air and dignity o f a Judge. Blanche Kronenberg Wiener read the poem she wrote thirty-five years ago as the poet of the Class. Ralph Jacobs, E sq ., m ade one o f his c h a r a ^ e n s tic funny speeches— same boyish Ralph, the baby o f the class as it were Dr. George Brown, the father of no children, but responsible for bringing hundreds of t h e m m t o t h e world, gave us all a pressing invitation to visit him at his home on the River Drive, near Harrisburg. Preston Eckels, J. Abner Miller and Howard Strickler gave us splendid short talks as did every one present. There are thirtv-five (35) children and six (6) grandchildren of the Class as far as could be learned of those present.

CLASS OF 1895 H E L D R E U N IO N A N D B A N Q U E T The Class of 1895, which has always been the banner class of C. V.y.S. N . S., upheld its reputation on the evening o f June 9, when fifty-three members including wives, husbands and children, attended a banquet in the basement of the new Reformed Church. The ladies of the church had prepared a sumptuous repast and promptly at six o’clock the class members and friends took their places at the long table which was decorated with orange and black candles and bouquets o f daisies, bachelor’s buttons and roses. The walls were hung with festoons o f orange and black crepe paper, the class colors being orange and black. Between courses songs were sung and jokes passed. A t the close o f the dinner toastmaster, Dr. H. H. Baish, o f Harrisburg, called upon many o f the class for speeches, chief o f which were Rev. H. E. W ahley, of Philadelphia, Dr. C. H. Hanlin of the Philippines, Miss Helen Harman, o f W ashington’ D. C., Dr. I. W . Huntzberger, o f Washington, D. C., Rev. J.’ S. Decker, o f Iowa, and the President of the Class, Prof W . N . Decker, of Altoona, Dr. Lehman and wife, Dr. J. S. Heiges and Miss Horton were present and made short speeches. A fte r this Dr. Baish announced that several prizes were to be awarded. The one given to the mem­ ber coming the greatest distance, an American flag, was awarded to Dr. C. H. Hanlin. A string of genuine (? ) pearls was given to the lady member having the largest fam ily and was received by Mrs. Minnie Mock Lackman o f Pittsburgh, she having a “ ready-made” fam ily of seven. Another string o f pearls was awarded to Miss Elizabeth W olff, of Chambersburg, she having taught the greatest number of years, thirty-one. A diamond ( ?) engagement ring was presented to the one and oniy THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD 27 bachelor of the class, Denny Fegan, with the understand­ ing that it be returned at the next reunion if he is neither engaged or married at that time. W e then sang our class song and reluctantly said farewell. W e desire herewith to publicly thank Rev. W etzel and the trustees of the Reformed Church for the use of their church basement and the ladies for our wonderful dinner. R E U N IO N — CLASS OF 1900. A t 5 :0 0 P. M. Tuesday, June 9th, thirty-five members of our class, many of them accompanied by husbands, wives or daughters, bringing the total number to fiftynine, met at the banquet table at the U. B. Church, Shippensburg, where we enjoyed an unusually good dinner, visited with each other and discussed reminiscences of bygone days. W e had as our guests Dr. and Mrs. Lehman and Miss Horton. J. E .

The reunion of the class of ’05 was quite a success for which we give our splendid president, J. M. Uhler all the credit. There were about thirty-five of our class mem­ bers present. O f course the number was enlarged by the addition of wives, husbands, children and other friends. 28 THE NORM AL SCHOOL H ERALD On Tuesday evening we met in the Fort Morris Hotel, Shippensburg, where a delicious banquet was served. J. M. Uhler acted as toastmaster. W e were all delighted to have as our guests, Prof, and Mrs. Rife, Miss Horton and Miss Quigley. These guests all spoke o f their high esteem for the members o f the class of nineteen hundred five. Prof. Chas. Beckley, founder of Beckley Business Col­ lege, Harrisburg, and who studied with us during the first few terms spent at Normal was also present. Lena Dunlap entertained us with several selections given in her own splendid and efficient style. The President called upon each member present, asking them to answer three questions. N am ely: W hat is your present occupation? Are you married? W h y are you married? Very few, if any, answered the last question. Had they done so, I am sure the answers would have been most interesting. Song choruses were enjoyed led by our famous singer Donald Henry accompanied by Mrs. Henry. W e are sorry that more of our class-mates could not be present and renew those wonderful friendships formed so many years ago. W e missed you very much, and we hope you will plan to be at our next reunion, which will be held in 1930. “ Make new friends but keep the old The new are silver, these are gold.” H E L E N G R A Y RQBERTSO N, Sec.

Immediately after the dinner, the class roll was called, each member present responding with a life history since leaving Normal and giving news of the absent ones when­ ever possible. Letters were read from a number of those members too far away to atttend and these were thorouffhlv enioyed by the class. Miss Mary Harris was the oMyyclass dean present, Mr. Wallize H H | sending regrets. Miss Harris gave a splendid little talk, saying that in all walks of life there are high spots and that the class of 1915 was one of the especially marked high spots in her work at old Normal. These talks were followed by the singing of the class song, composed by Miss Grace Workman, and played for this reunion by this same member, now Mrs. Alsberge. Then followed the class yell given with a vim and last of all pealed forth the strains of Alm a Mater. The Legion rooms were decorated with the class banner and pennants, old class pictures, class day Programs, etc^ were about the room, and beautiful roses added a dainty touch to the tables. 1 , A fter such a happy occasion, is it any wonder that the class was unanimous in its desire for another reunion m the near future? Surely ten more years are too long to so THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD wait for another gathering together o f the old friends and classmates of 1915.

I am also enclosing herewith $1.00 for which kindly forward me the Normal School Herald to the above address. So far I have re­ ceived no issue of the Herald this year but I presume it was sent to m y old address at Princeton. I hold both the A . M. and Ph. D. degrees from Princeton. The work for both these degrees was passed with dis­ tinction. The Princeton authorities in accepting my Doctoral Dissertation as a part requirement for the Ph. D. degree pronounced it a very thorough comprehensive and scholarly piece of research work. The subject of this work is “ Regulation of Public Utilities in New Jersey” . A large part of this research work was done in conjunc­ tion with its Public Utility Commission of New Jersey and its corps of experts. I plan to have this work published in volume form at a later date. A t present I am Professor of Economics at W ashing­ ton and Jefferson College. I was sorry not to be able to attend the banquet at Pitts­ burgh, in March, of the Western Pennsylvania A lu m n i Association. I happened to be called out that night to act as judge of a debate. Prof, and Mrs. Stewart I under­ stand represented the Normal School at the banquet. I have also been informed since that they came down from Pittsburgh to Washington the following day, Sunday, to call upon friends. I f I had only known it I would have invited them to take tea with us. I understand Mrs. Stewart’s father was a W . and J. graduate. It m ight also be o f interest to you to know that I was married September last to Miss C. Elizabeth Crapster of Taneytown, Md.

W e know our readers will be interested in reading the following tribute to Ruth Elliott sent us from her home m Raritan, N . J .: A W E L L -S P E N T L IF E . W e doubt if there has been any person in Somerset County who has done more, if as much, for young people, as Mrs. Harvey Wyckoff, whose sudden death a few days ago caused a whole community to mourn. Mrs. W yckoff placed her life unselfishly and completely alongside that of the young girls and boys o f this section and made many o f them feel, for the first time the spirit oi service and the desire for a deeper religious life. Hers was the enthusiasm that has made the South Branch conference such a success as a starting point for m any a file devoted to others and wherever there was this past year a gathering devoted to religious education she was present as the home missionary, who believed in her cause and presented it convincingly. There are those who purchase the perpetuity o f their names by great g ifts o f money and others whose name lives on because of the love and sympathy and under­ standing that they bestow so generously upon young lives that need direction and training in the way of selfexpression. O f the latter was Ruth Wyckoff, whose brief years o f service have built a monument o f memories that ston e°mmand greater resPect than many others built o f THE NORM AL SCHOOL HERALD 41 Rex.

W H E R E T H E SU M M ER SCHOOL STU D E N TS COME FROM It is commonly supposed that the students attending the summer sessions of the Normal Schools come almost entirely from the local districts represented by the schools. While it is probable that local considerations enter more largely into the summer school enrollment than into the regular yearly sessions, it is interesting to note that more than a third o f the counties of the state are represented by students. O f course the counties in our “ service area” furnish more than three-fourths o f the 743 now enrolled, but the distribution is interesting. Mother Cumberland leads with a registration o f 133 but Franklin is a close second with 130. Bedford again 42 THE NORM AL SCHOOL HERATT) holds third place with 92. Dauphin swings into fourth place with an enrollment o f 88. Huntingdon and Perry ivS.1 °i, i s i Pl&ce with 51 each. York sends us 48 and little Fulton eclipses her former records with 45. Adams claims 42. Mifflin and Blair each contribute 14 and Juniata adds 11 to the total. The remaining twenty-four counties send from one to three each.
