any educational congress memorable,

fields, a total attendance which came

were among the features of the P. S.

place here October 6-8.

Normal Times
a Weekly Paper
The Normal Times will be published weekly beginning w i t h
t h i s issue instead of twice a
month as has been t'he custom
heretofore.
Tills change will practically do
away with stale news, the chief
criticism of tlie paper previously.
The news and events ot the week
will have been written up and
put into form to go to the publishers on the first of the next
week; and the paper, will, in all
liklihood, be back and ready for
circulation t'he Saturday following.
The weekly i ublication will also malfe it p(jRsible to have in it
more advanced writeups—events
that are going to happen instead
ot those t h a t have happened.
Previously it bas been almost impossible to get a lineup on the
advance news due to the fact
that it was necessary to get it
so far ahead that nothing deflnite
was known concerning it.
The Staff feels that there wtU
be an increase in the subscription list. They are hoping that
these new features of the paper
will meet with such approval of
t h e student body, faculty and
alnnini that they will feel compensated in paying a dollar for
a yearly subscription tn their own
school paper.

There are grey-haired men a n d
women who cannot speak to this day,
without lowering their voices, of the
wondertul night when they heard
Ole Bull play or Patti sing. Such an
experience comes but once in most
lifetimes.
Just such an experience Is coming to Teachers College. Josef Hofmann, the Josef Hofmann,is coming
to our auditorium! A few years back
there were two "greatest" pianists
before the public: Paderewski and
Hofman. The politics of Poland has
claimed Paderewski; now there is
only Hofmann.

him a renowned Russian violinist',

County Teachers Visit S. T. C.

Faculty Returns Intact

T h e Clinton County Institute,
meeting here in October 3-6, and
continuing for the rest of the week
in conjunction with the P. S. E. A.
meeting, brought nearly 200 teachers to Central State, the majority of
them alumni of this school. The program was satisfactory from stem to
stern; Superintendent Brosius was
receiving well-merited compliments
from all quarters on his planning.
Dr. S. C. Schmucker, of W e s t
Chester, gave six addresses on nature study, some ot which are reviewed in another columns Dr. J'.
Freeman Guy, superintendent of the
Belleview schools, created unusual
interest in his talks on mathematics,
reading, the project method, etc. He
was kept busy after his lectures answering the questions of those whose
curiosity he had stirred.

Every teacher on this year's faculty has had his initiation in the
ways of this school. Not a single
teacher is new to Lock Haven. That
is a rare record, one that may never
occur again.
Miss Mabel E. Noel, M. A., who
has replaced Miss Merrells in the
work in psychology, is the newest
member ot the faculty. The returning seniors are just making her acquaintance. She has been on t h e
campus, however, since the opening
of the summer session. Miss Noel
holds her graduate and post-graduate
degrees from the University of Chicago, lived in Buffalo, Minnesota,
and comes to us from the Minot,
South Dakota, teachers college.
Prof. Carroll All has returned to
the music department after a year's
leave of absence, which he spent In
advanced courses in music at New
York University.
Miss Irene Robinson, who graduated last year from Simmons College, is Misa Macdonald's assistant
in the library, and Is the only September arrival on the faculty. She
will, however, do no teaching.
Dr. Armstrong is reported as being very well pleased at the remarkaole faculty situation. An unchanged
faculty tested in service here means
to him a stability In the Instruction,
a continuance of high quality teaching, a quick buckling down to hard
ard good work in all departments of
the scliool.

Dr. Robert C. Shaw, deputy state
superintendent, always a g e n i a l
speaker whose advice is full of horse
sense; Miss Erna Grassmuck in talks
on the teaching of her special interest, geography; Mr. Jonas E, Wagner, of the teacher bureau at Harrisburg; Miss Phillips, Miss Lesher,

Under the name of the Student

college, every effort has been made
to have the rules of a college.
The new constitution will cover a

Student Council under this new arrangement, but lather two distinct
bodies: the Executive committee and

The House committee will control
all house rules and regulations and
will have the authority to punish

The committee on revision is trying to obtain one night a week in

Team Plays
Spunky Game
Outclassed by West Liberty
Lock Haven T. C. dropped the
first game ot the football season,
journeying all the way to West Liberty T. C, West Virginia, to do so.
The score of 39-0 indicates fairly
enough the extent to which the locals were outclassed, but falls to do
credit to the hard battle they put
up against the much heavier and
better opponents.
Outweighed fifteen poun-l« to the
man, and facing a squad wnich unquestionably knew m o r e football,
the locals battled to the finish, battled to the point of complete exhaustion. Coach Dyck feels that
they stacked up against the best
team Lock Haven has met in recent
history. He Is not at all pessimistic,
rather the opposite. With time to
put additional finishing touches on
what he now knows to be a fighting
team, he looks for results against
the balance of the schedule.
Lock Haven was penalized but
twice, both times for being offside.
West Liberty earned an assortment
of penalties, fifteen in number, totaling 150 yards. Sixteen first downs
indicates the strength ot West Liberty's offensive ("The best football
team I ever played against," said
'Deacon' Burd), while Lock Haven
had the ball so seldom that a single first down was the sole result.
Dick Parsons acted as captain,
and played a whale ot a game, despite a broken finger received in the

owe Indiana a heavy debt of Ingratitude: they have beaten us for the

this semester. Miss Rearick has been
meeting her gym classes on the athletic field where she has been endeavoring to teach them the rules

their penalties, such as corner hits,

New Schools Needed
The general theme ot those speakers who confined themselves to educational problems was the urgent
need for new types of schools to flt
the present needs of America, a need
so urgent as to require nearly a complete revolution in subject matter,
treatment, and educational objectives. Complete treatment of the
speeches, because of their signlfioanoe and because ot their impression on the members of the conference, should be given here or elsewhere. Because of the difficulty Normal Times' new organization has had

Miss McDonald Rearranges Library
If you have not been in the library since it has been rearranged,
you will need some directions in
order to find your way about.
To flnd the card catalogue, you
need only to step Inside the door,
turn to the right, and—there it is.
If it is a magazine you are wanting,
follow the same directions with the
exception that the turn is to the
left.
After you have found what you
want, you will perhaps look for a table conveniently near, but you will
have to go to either the sample bookroom or the reading room, as the
two tables displaced by the catalogue
and the magazines have been moved
into the reading room, where students may study without being disturbed by those entering or leaving
the library.

Naturalist Club Hikes with Dr. Schmucker
Dr. S. C. Schmucker, famous naturalist-lecturer, furnished the members ot the Naturalist Club a very
pleasant, aud instructive hour on
Wednesday afternoon by t a ki u g
them up tlie glen on a hike. He had
been lecturing at the County Institute during the week and the outing
Iirovided an opportunity for the Naturalists to become better acquainted
with him.
Dr. Schmucker pointed out many
interesting things and told several
experiences, one of which was an account of how he became lost in a severe snowstorm in the vicinity ot
Pike's Peak. He also told of his personal acquaintance with Enos Mills,
the widely-known naturalist-author.
The short outing was enjoyed by
everyone present and all expressed
their desires of having Dr. Schmucker with them again.
