Two iiiiiiortiint eilueatiiinal eonfereiiee.s
are to be held at this sehool in the near
future.
Iniuiediately after the Easter
vaeiifimi the Round Table Conference
of l'riiiei|inls and Suiierinteiidents cif
Central J'eunsylvania will hold its
spring session here, Ajiril 0 aiui 7 being
the dates set.
At this nieeting the
sehoolinen of the neighboring eouuties
meet to discuss, in au inforinal niiiiiner, the school iirobleins that are affecting them most direetl,y. There is
no hard and fast program; instead,
each niember in iittendance asks fer
discns.sion of any point, important or
nniinportant, on which he wishes inforniiition, and the meeting resolves itself into a clearing house of opinions.
The opportunit.y for general sociability
and relaxation draws ijerhajis as many
superintendents and schoolmen here as
the discussions. The meeting is generall,y ]iroiliictive, because of its very
iiiforinalify, of inueh more genuine help
tluiu iilnuist any other gathering of
school people in the state. Supt. N. V.
Benson, of Ijock Haven, is chairman.
One month later the Central Peuusylvauiii Association of High School
Teachers will meet here for their aniiuiil spring meeting. Principal C. L.
Kopp, of Clearfield High School, is the
assiieiiitioii's iiresident. Normal Times
dose not have a report of what is
]ilanned, but asHiinies that, as usual,
there will be a general session for toiiics
of general interest to nil dejiartnients,
and sectional ineefings for instructors
in the several subjects.

PRAECO 1923 IS IN

I'raeco 192:> is in the printer's hands.
The best book that the school has ever

Dorothy Kessinger, Kathryn Brown, and
Hetty Staver. Those who were able to
appear were entirely too lonesome to
be able to make any noise.
The student teachers who have been
teaching in the Lock Haven schools had
an unexpected holiday on Monday,
March .'3. On account of the flood the
schools of the city were closed. All
resumed their duties on Tuesday, except those who teach at the Penn School,
and they went back the day following.
The age of chivalry is not dead. In
these days men laj' boards across muddy
places instead of coats, a much more effective device, if not so picturesque.
There were some few men who carried
fair passengers across particularly wet
spots, Mrs. Gage says.
The students not otherwise confined to
barracks were allowed to wander a t will
throughout the city, unehaiiped, on Sunday, March 4, in order properly to enjoy the misbehavior of the usually conservative Susquehanna. One met them
on Church and Main Streets. One met
them all along the Avenue, gazing at
the canals down the cross-streets. One
met them on Water Street and at the
bridge, playing tag with the incoming
water. Wading in as far as galoshes
w^ould permit, they wore advance guards
for t h e rising water. There were hordes
of them all over the city, but luckily
there were few of them about when
Mr. Bitter determined to float himself
down Church Street, with a block of ice
as support.

Nothing excuses the well-bred girl, no
matter who or what provokes her from
pushing hor provokers face in, knocking her back loose, and pulling her leg
off. If you had not lead her to believe
the evening before that you wished her
to do so, your alarm clock would not

and now just look at the darn thing.

A Morning Wish
(NORMAL TIMES does not ordinarily
borrow inatcrinl; but the following, by
W. R. Hunt, seems well worth passing
on. Ediforiiilly, we subscribe, "Here
too.")
The sun is just rising ou the morning
of another day, the first day of u new
year. What can I wish that this day,
this year, can bring to uie? Nothing
that shall make the world or others
Iioorer, nothing at the expense of other
men; but just those few things which,
in their coming, do not stop with me,
but touch me, rather as they pass and
gather strength.
A few friends who understand me,
and yet remain my friends.
A work
to do which has real value, without
which the world would feel the poorer.
A return for such work, small enough
not to tax unduly any one who pays.
A mind unafraid to travel, even thougli
the trail be not blazed. An understanding heart. A sight of the eternal hills,
and the investing sea, and of something
beautiful t h e hand of man has made.
A sense of humor, and the power to
laugh.
A little leisure with nothing
to do. A few moments of quiet, silent
meditation—the sense of the presence of
God. And the patience to wait for the
coming of these things, with the wisdom to know how they have come.

Mr. Ulmer Tries Poetry
"I like poetry. 1 cnu't read as well
as some others, perhaps, but I like it.
That is why 1 am going to read some to
you this inorniug." Thus Mr. Ulmer introduced himself to the students in
chapel on Wednesda.v, March 7, before
launching into a group of poems on
nature subjects by Liberty Hyde Bailey.
Dr. Bailey is dean of the school of
agriculture at Cornell Fniversity, and is
all over of nature iu all its phases.
Those of his poems which Mr. Ulmer selected to illustrate Dr. Bailey's ability
to put that love for nature into verse,
aud his source of power over the affections of all nature-lovers, were Tho
Great Voice, Spare Me One Swamp, A
Country School, Discovery of the Silence,
and The Thrush.

The most notable change in the character of the book is that it has grown
lieyond the limits of a senior class
memory book.

The prospects for ii championship basketball team for next year are almost
too encouraging. If all that is said in
the boy's dormitory at this time is going
to come true, but one member of this
year's stellar nggregation will be lost.
The new three-year course for group
three, the boys are saying, will hold
in school one year longer two and perhaps three of those who originally enrolled when only the two-year course
was available. With tho entry here of
several schoolbo.y stars promised, Mr.
Drum has requested th.at the arrangement of a schedule for next winter be
iniuiediately begun, and that, as far as
possible, games be contracted only with
normal sehool or college teams.
Football prospects iire less definife.
There will be a team; that much is sure.
How good that team will be cannot be
liredieted. I t is safe onl.y to say that
nt least a fair team will wear the colors of the school; but a fair team with
a good coach can do much to re-establish the school's former reputation.
A baseball team may start tearing up
the dirt of the old athletic field this
spring. Haney, Marcy, Schrot, MacDonald, ili-Ciirf.v, and Thompson form a
nucleus, arduiul which a fair team can
be molded. Whether it is desiriible for
the school to go into baseball hard iil
this time is debatable; a restricted jirogram yvould seem to be all that the
school could bo properly asked to support. With II beginning at this time, it

A Busy Organization
The Art Club one of the most recent
additioiis fo the rapidly growing number of school organizations, has been
.justifying its creation by the way it
has been entering into the work of the
school, and by the practical assistance
it has rendered up to this time to many
of the other school undertakings. I t

f'liib Hint lilt is not a thing apart from
life, but takes its value from and finds
its inspiration in every-day service to
ever,y-da,v needs. That principle the Art
Club has been living up to.
The scenery for the last dramatic club
plays was produced by the club in resjionse to a definite school need. Most
of the audience took the scenic effects
for granted.
Those who knew, and
who realized the thought, labor, and
care the scenes involved, have had
some realization of how and why the
Art Club exists. That street scene did
not just happen, nor was i t something
that could have been just dashed off at
the last minute. The effective French
doors, together with the big Windsor
chairs and the wicker settee, were also
made b.v the Art Club.
The Art Club also took charge of
milking the posters which announced the
plays to Lock Haven, and they have assumed a similar responsibility for making posters to announce the senior play.
They liave produced the cards which

Jazz, he claims, is almost without exception stolen from the beautiful old
classics and mutilated by a species of
musical v,indiilism.
H e sometimes illustrates how a composition can be

plainly K-K-Katy.
We shrewdly suspect that it is because the success of that wartime song
has earned Mr. O'Hara the popuhir reputation as a professional coworker of
Irving Berlin that he is so bitter against
jazz.
He has, it is true, written a
number of strictly popular songs, m a n y
of them notably harmonious, but liis
strength, in the raind of many critics,
lies in his sacred and serious compositions. "Tennessee, I Hear You Calling
Me," "The Wreck of the Julie P l a n t e , "
"Little Bateese," " I Love a Little Cottage," and "Give a Man a Horse," a r e
among his popular compo.sitions. H i s
renditions of "There Is No Death," " T h e
Hymn of tho Magi," and "There Were
Ninety and Nine," are decidedly superior in theme a u d iu execution.
Mr. O'Hara gives a popuhir concert.
He possesses a number of accomplishments that are more interesting t h a n
instructive, of a sort of vaudeville nature, such as his stunt of catching three
notes whistled by a n y one in the audience, and weaving them into a spur-ofthe-moment composition; but this serves
to keep his audience entertained, while
the rest of his program possesses lasting value.
