BY AN ALUMNUS MONDAY

SEVERAL OF FACULTY
ATTEND CONVENTION

On Monday morning in chapel Mr.
Snyder of the class of 1901, of Lock
Haven, then a State Normal School,
gave a short, but very inspiring talk
to the students. Mr. Snyder is now a
representative of the MacMillan Book
Co.
His philosophy life seems to be
that all things of any value in any
occupation, especially training, are
ideals, good habits and spiritual feelings; the teaching of subjects is not
as important as the development of
these ideals and good habits. This is
what has made Mr. Snyder a successful man and it would be well for us
to remember his talk.
Mr. Snyder then introduced Mr.

Three of the members of our faculty, Miss Himes, Dr. Armstrong and
Mr. Ulmer attended the Pennsylvania
State Educational Association Convention in New Castle on the 26 and
27 of December. This Convention is
an annual meeting of all the convention districts in the state. It is divided into general and departmental
meetings. Miss Himes represented us
in the Kindergarten group and Mr.
Ulmer in the Science Department.

The local basketball season opened
on Friday afternoon, January 10,
when the Maroon and Gray opposed
the powerful Mansfleld Teachers College quintet on the local court. Although our boys lost by a flnal score
of 29-17, they put up a hard fight
against their taller opponents and at
times flashed a form that promises
much for the coming season. Mansfield's offensive consisted almost entirely of long shots from near the center of the floor, their almost uncanny
accuracy netting them enough points
to secure the verdict.
The game opened with Mack missing a try for the foul line. Mansfleld's offensive got going long enough
to register two double-deckers on
long shots. Bardo scored the flrst
point for the locals when he netted a
free-throw, making the score 4-1 in
Mansfield's favor. The visitors followed with two more twin-pointers
which made the score 8-1. With about
one minute of the quarter left, Coaeh
Morgan sent in a fresh team. The

grades. She spoke of the excellent
results being obtained in the Aliquippa schools and substantiated her
statements with many excellent illustrations.
On Thursday evening in the general sessions meeting, two most excellent speakers were heard: Dr.
Charles Judd, of Chicago University
and Dr. Peckstein, of the University
of Cincinnati. Dr. Peckstein's address was "What May We Expect of

Mieczyslaw Munz well supports the
reputation of his native country, the
land of creative and interpretative
geniuses. At the age of three, in his
home city of Koakow, he began to
play by ear the folk songs of his land.
He was early recognized as a genius
and trained by the best masters. His
first public appearance came at the
age of ten, in Koakow; his formal debut was made when he was still a
youth, before the audience of the
Berlin Symphony Orchestra.
Success followed Munz all over the
continent and finally to his memorable American debut in Aeolian Hall
in the winter of 1922. His recital
here and his performance as soloist
with the New York Symphony Orchestra firmly rooted his popularity
with the American people. His tours
of Japan, China and Australia have
given him world rank as a pianist.
The concert Friday night was another beautiful testimony of the acceptional gift of the man who has
been called "a grand poet, a young
master whose potential and present
powers set him far apart from the
rank and file of many pianists."

Continued From Page One
Newberry who gave a lengthy discussion on the Teaching of Arithmetic
and the selection of text books. Mr.
Newberry had also attended a Normal
School. He told us to note how frequently quantity enters into conversation. Arithmetic may be called a
social subject so it should be interesting to all society. To teach arithmetic there must be certain objectives,
the teacher can not go at it "hit or
miss."
The textbooks should be chosen to'
meet the foflowing objectives he
said:—
1. Familiarize pupils with fundamentals in arithmetic.
2. Familiarize pupils with business principles and rules.
3. Develop certain habits of accuracy.
4. Develop the desire for further
mathematical ability.
Mr. Newberry showed us how to
make arithmetic an inspirational subject.

A PROPHECY
Yes, that was dear old Lock Haven
just as sure as fate. How good it
seemed to see it once more, after
thirty-flve years of absence in exploring the tropical jungles along the
Amazon River. Many things can happen in thirty-five years, and it was in
the year 1964 that I peered from the
cabin of an air liner which flew from
New York to Cleveland, and saw my
college town as previously stated. The
scene below me represented a huge
conglomeration of costly residences
and sky-scrapers extending over a
large portion of the valley.
As we came closer to the earth and
passed over the city I caught a flying
glimpse of a large park, the center of
which was adorned by some sort of
statue. I immediately resolved to
view this masterpiece of sculpture
just as soon as I touched terra flrma
again.

Marriages are made in Heaven, so
they say and it seems as if some girls
expect "Heaven-made-men." At any
rate they have standards or ideals by
which they measure every man. The
statistics which follow are taken from
the results of a questionaire in the
New Jersey College for Women. A
girl may enjoy the heavy line of her
eollege boy escort at foot ball games
or house parties, but there is an altogether different man for her ideal.
Out of 450 women more than 100
cast votes for constancy, loyalty or
faithfulness, which means much the
same thing, and sincerity. Intelligence was listed on flfty-four ballots,
and forty votes each were given for
a sense of humor, personality or ambition.
Ten girls admitted that they were
primarily interested in good looks.
Six listed money as the first requirement, three thought it most vital that
a man be a "good provider" and have
the ability to make love.
Another girl was more concerned
with a man's willingness to earn a living than whether he actually earned
one, and another said she believed
that a man who did not sing while
shaving was to be preferred. A third
asked that her ideal be the type put
out by West Point. Another that he
be a good letter writer.
A few cynics denied that there
could be an ideal man. As one disillusioned freshman wrote, the ideal
man should have "manners, looks, intelligence"—but they don't make
them that way any more.
Upon looking over this list we have
decided that we agree with the majority of tlie opinions from N. J. C. But
there is never a word from the boys
as to their ideal girl. Don't you have
an ideal or is it a dead secret?
Couldn't you write an article giving
us just a little hint?
At the Photographer's.

Mr. Webster tells us very authentically, in his strange book. The Dictionary, that a Resolution is "a flxed
determination" or "a state of being
resolved." As .much as we respect
the Gentleman Etymologist, we must
disagree with him. That is just exactly what a resolution is not. In
making New Year's Resolutions we
can flnd absolutely no trace of fixed
determination or of the state of being
resolved.
In order to meet the requirements
of the deflnition, a Resolution must
stand the test of time. Experience,
our greatest pedagogist, has shown
us that the average New Year's
Resolution will actually blush in the
face of the word "Time."
The average length of a man's will
power varies from flfteen minutes to,
possibly, three months. Beyond that
point we defy any smoker, dreamer,
singer, lobbyist, gambler or saxaphone player to refrain, unintermittently, from his favorite nuisance.
If the kind, but guilty, reader will
pardon the blank verse, we will record a few of the innermost secrets
that give the Evolution of New Year's
Resolution.
I will never smoke again;
I shall not smoke;
I know it's a sin, but
Maybe I'm a bloke, and
Maybe I oughta smoke.

Smokes.
Mothers and sweethearts make bigger prevaricators out of men on New
Year's Eve than the worst presidential election could make out of a democrat.
Women are lesser offenders because most of them can't play saxaphones and none of them smoke.
They just "puff."
A New Year's Resolution is a
ridiculous method of approaching the
problem of making a man out of an
over-grown boy.

The team, in Maroon and Gray, came

At shooting baskets.
The opposing team came quickly in.

crowd screamed their approval—
Lock Haven made a basket!
One Better.

A FRESH START
The Creator in His wisdom divided
our lives into brief days that we might
have the joy of the passing of one day
and the coming of a new one. He has
divided our lives into brief years that
we may have the inspiration of a new
year, the short-comings of the old one
wiped away and the ideals of the new
one entered upon.
Everyone loves new experiences
and looks forward to each new day
with a desire for an adventure. The
teacher must be mindful of the fact
that children are inspired by the coming of a new day. Often they forget:
"No, no. Jack. You don't march in
line today. You stay where I can
keep my eye on you. Don't argue. I
saw you push Billy yesterday." If
you would have a child turn from his
erring ways give him the advantage
of the opportunity afforded by a new
day. If he failed in his lesson just
change his seat telling him he can
now do better; if he has spilled ink on
his blouse give him a clean one. We
are more or less automatons and yet
with the new day, or with the new
year it is surprising what can be done
by a fresh start.
When speaking of fresh starts let's
think of our basketball team. The
flghting spirit manifested by the team
on Friday in the game with Mansfleld
is proof that they have made a new
start in basketball. The part that the

TEACH, SAYS DR. FINNEY
"Education is not like the other
professions but essentially unlike
them," says Ross L. Finney in the
January Journal of the National Education Association as he criticizes the
recent extraordinary emphasis upon
technology in teaching.
Dr. Finney points out that each
profession has a major and a minor
specialty. Its major specialty is that
body of scientific knowledge which it
is the business of the profession to
apply; its minor specialty is the sclentlflc technic of applying that knowledge.
The major specialty of the legal
profession includes law and court
precedents; its minor specialty the
technic of legal procedure.
The
major specialty of the physician includes anatomy, physiology and materia medica; its minor specialty, the
technic of conducting diagnoses, managing clinics and administering hospitals.
Similarly, continues Dr. Finney,
the major specialty of the educator's
profession is the body of knowledge,
skills and ideals to be taught; its
minor specialty is the technic of managing schools and administering systems.
Part Taken For Whole.
"What the educators have done is
to equate the minor specialty of their
own profession with the total specialty of the other professions.
They
have mistaken a part for the whole
and the lesser part at that; with the
result that the lesser part tends to
monopolize their attention altogether, to the neglect and even disparagement by them of the major part. It
is as if the doctors, in their professional education, paid attention almost entirely to the technic of managing offices, conducting clinics and
administering hospitals to the neglect
of anatomy, physiology, pathology
and materia medica."
Dr. Finney calls society the educator's patient, the social institutions
the anatomy he must study, the social processes his physiology, while the
intellectual resources of the social
heritage are his materia medica. The
curriculum is his prescription.

flrst quarter ended with the score
still 8-1 in favor of the visitors.
McMullen netted a long shot from
the side center of the court, making
the score 8-3. Mansfleld's offensive
got going again and stopped only
when the score reached 16-3. Then
Bardo made a pretty pass to Poust,
who netted an easy two-pointer. He
followed this up with a successful
free throw a few second later, making
the score 16-6. A long shot from center by one of the visitors just before
the half ended, put the score at 18-6
in favor of Mansfleld.
It was during the third quarter that
the locals really appeared to advantage, although they held the visitors
even during the entire second half.
Immediately after the third quarter
began, Poust missed a foul try, but
followed this up by making two double deckers in quick succession. Mansfleld called time out and when play
was resumed, Poust continued his
scoring spree by netting another twin
pointer. Plummer followed with a
successful free-throw making the
score 20-13 in favor of Mansfield.
The visitors tossed in a free throw as
the quarter ended with the score
21-13.
The final quarter began with the locals fighting hard to overcome the
slight advantage held by the visitors
but Mansfield resumed its long shooting tactics and held on to their advantage.
Several long shots gave
them a 29-13 lead when Poust again
scored a double decker. He was fouled on the play and both free tosses
were successful, making the score
29-17. Coach Morgan attempted to
speed up the local offensive by frequent substitution during this quarter and the game ended with a long
shot by a Mansfield ;>layer which was
wild. Poust with 13 out of his team's
total of 17 points was easily the star
of the game. The local defense as a
whole, held the Mansfield offensive
and had it not been for the unerring
accuracy of the visitors in making
long shots, a different score would
have resulted, as the local boys outplayed the visitors as far as floorwork and passing were concerned.
With the improvement in shooting
that is bound to come with practice,
it appears that Coach Morgan has put
together a speedy combination which
will give the teams opposing the Maroon and Gray this season, plenty of
trouble. A stiff schedule faces the
locals, starting with Bloomsburg
Teachers College, January 17, at
Bloomsburg.
The cheering of the student body
was a revelation. A capacity crowd
witnessed the game and showed by
their cheering and applause that they
were with the boys. Keep up the good
work and back up our flghting squad
of basketball players. Let's pull together for a winner.

SEVERAL OF FACULTY
ATTEND CONVENTION

ANOTHER SOMETHING
Something there is that doesn't love
a class.
That yawns and throws cold water in
its face.
And straggles laggingly across the
green
Misty campus at three niinutes of
eight
In herringbone plus fours that quake
and shake
When wild the wind veers from New
Hampshire way.
It slumps into a chair beside the door.
Opens its text, and slips anon to sleep
While the professor sadly meditates.
But only says: "Late hours make
poor listeners."

COED TRAGEDY A' LA
E. A. ROBINSON
She never paused to chatter on the
stair.
Or divulge her affairs, but went her
ways
With levelled eyes, as though a golden haze
Made a broad incandescent barrier
Between ourselves and her—a certain
glare
That signifled somehow no blatant
praise
Could turn her head, or gossip lower
her gaze.
Yet we, aloof, adored her and her
hair.
And it was ever always so, while we
Felt vaguely, sharply snubbed, not
having been
Outrightly; and the shining smartclad mystery
Of what she was rebuked our talk of
sin.
But when she flunked her Sociology
We saw Fate slap perfection on the
chin.

Judd talked on "Training Teachers in
the Science of Education." Both addresses were well worth while. After
these two speakers had flnished, the
teachers of Lawrence County gave an
informal reception to the visiting
members of the P. S. E. A. which was
enjoyed by all.
One of the outstanding events of
the convention was the display of
work done by the children in the New
Castle schools. The display consisted
of material from all departments of
all grades from kindergarten to senior high school. The geography and
social studies groups were especially
interesting and many compliments
were heard.
At the business meeting of the
delegates the use of part of the funds
of the Association for the upkeep of
the Lloyd Mifflen Home was discussed. This is a beautiful estate near
Lancaster to be utilized for a home
for retired teachers. Another thing
discussed was the raising of the yearly dues; this was tabled until next
year.
Next year the convention will be
held in Williamsport. This will give
many of us an opporunity to attend
and it will be well worth our while to
do so.

A PROPHECT

large aviation fleld and stepping from
the cabin of the liner I quickly summoned a taxi and was soon driven to
the park. As I approached the statue
which I had seen from my lofty perch,
I was astonished to flnd that it was
none other than an exact image of
Robert Bollinger, one of my old college friends.
Noticing an elaborate bronze tablet at the base of the statue I approached it and thoughtfully read the
few lines inscribed thereon. "Dedicated to Doctor Robert A. Bollinger
in remembrance of his great medical
discovery which at the time had startled the whole world." Being anxious
to know the nature of the discovery I
read further and soon came upon the
following statement: It was in the
year of our Lord, 1955, that Dr. Robert A. Bollinger, a noted medical
surgeon startled the whole world by
his announcement of the fact that he
had made an amazing discovery,
whose aft'ect upon civilization would
be the saving of many lives in the
years to come. So positive was Dr.
Bollinger of the success of his corn
cure, that he challenged anybody with
a large sum of money to come to his
office accompanied by his or her corn
and prove that he could not instantly
remove it.

ART APPRECIATION IS
DISCUSSED BY DR. KIRBY

The next few lines I read fllled me
with the greatest sorrow. This is
what they contained: Dr. Robert A.
Bollinger was found dead in an alley
sevoral days after the announccr.iciit
of his discovery. The exact cause of
his death was not stated, but it was
thought by many that it was the work
of some person who had been treated
by Dr. Bollinger for the removal of a
corn and had by some mistake secured the converse remedy, the result
being that instead of decreasing in
size the corn had slowly expanded
into a bunion.
Suddenly realizing that I had eaten nothing for several hours I proceeded directly to a hotel where after
partaking of a hearty dinner I received an invitation to a reunion of the
class of 1930 which was to be held the
following evening in the New Fallon
Hotel. When evening came the ball
room was a maze of flowers, all the
decorations being in the colors of our
illustrious class. At last the room was
filled with guests. Then the evening
entertainment began by roll-call to
which each member present replied
with a brief account of himself.
Many of the absent members had sent
messages which were read.

Dr. C. Valentine Kirby, Director of
Art in the Department of Public Instruction, gave a very interesting talk
in chapel Tuesday morning on Art
Appreciation. He gave us the high
points of the arguments against the
statement that the American people
are not art minded. He said that the
American people are now demanding
artistic designing of their clothes, artistic coloring in the cloth from which
their clothes are made, and harmonious homes. The demand for beauty
has even invaded the fleld of automobile and telephone manufacture. The

schools are responsible for this urge
for beauty becav.se of their art appreciation courses. Pennsylvania is
one of the leading states in the union
in this matter and Lock Haven State
Teachers College came in for her
share of the praise.
Out of a number of schools visited by Dr. Kirby
only one of the art teachers did not
come from Lock Haven.
We must continue to uphold this
high rating by doing our bit when we
go out to teach to give the children
their share of the love for the beautifuh
