Chapel exercises on Wednesda.v, April
29, were devoted to the honoring of the
memory of Dr. .1. George Becht, State
Superintendent of Public Instruction,
whose funeral was held that afternoori
at 2:15 at Williamsport.
During t h e
hour of the funeral all work throughout
the building ceased. Mr. Ulmer in t h e
following speech iiaid tribute to t h e
man he h,ad personally known and admired:
The alumni of this school who live or
teach in Southwestern Pennsylvania
pledged their allegiance to Central State
Normal's new principal at their annual
banquet, held this year on April 18, in
the Fort P i t t Hotel, Pittsburgh. It was
a typical, lively, friendly Pittsburgh affair, with about sixty of the alumni present, representing classes from 1887 to
1924; with Principal John A. Entz, head
of the California State Normal School,
and a graduate of Lock Haven in the
class of 1899, running off a lengthy toast
list in his capacity as toastmaster; with
the new principal of the school making
his first appearance in an alumni group;
and with loyalty to Central State and all
that she stands for running high.
Fred Balfour, 1903, and J. Buell Snyder, 1901, kept the songs going in spirited fashion. Mrs. Luna B. Hill, 1887,
secretary of the Southwestern Pennsylvania Alumni Association, to whom
much of the credit for the success of
the affair is due, acted as a steering
committee in finding place cards and in
getting acquainted. Albert Howe, 1889,
president of the association, ran off the
self-introductions which feature these
Pittsburgh gatherings, and presided at
the short business session, in which L.
G. Chorpenning, 1898, was elected president of tho association for the ensuing
year, and Mrs. Elmer E. Houck, 1905,
was elected secretary.
Toastmaster John A. Entz, one of Lock
Haven's graduates, who profited by her
teaching to such an extent that he is
operating that excellent and (luckily
for us, perhaps) distant rival of ours at
California, introduced in order William
L. Dively, 1921, a senior a t the University of Pittsburgh; Mrs. Marjorie
Sones Boyd, 1919; Mrs. Mayme Straessley, 1903; Fred Balfour, 1903; S. H.
Keplogle, 1895, assistant superintendent
of Pittsburgh's schools; Dean W. O.
Chambers, 1887, head of Penn State's
School of Education; Dr. Dallas W.
Armstrong, Loek Haven's new principal,
and Prof. T. W. Trembath. Each of
them contributed anecdotes of Lock Haven as she has been, pledged hearty
support to her now, or predicted her
rosy future. Master Dean Mikesell gave

Mr. Long's Name Omitted
I n the previuos issue, through an
oversight, Mr. Long's name did not appear with those of the speakers at the
farewell banquet held in honor of Mr.
Drum. Mr. Long spoke of the harmony
which existed between the local school
authorities and Mr. Drum. He said that
that he regretted seeing Mr. Drum leave
and assured Mr. Armstrong of the cooperation of the local school board with
him in anything he may do.
J.
The noblest creature of God's creation is a righteous man or womaji.
Righteousness is the only thing that is
permanent; all other things are bur
temporary. It is the noble man t h a t
the Psalmist referred to when he said,
"Thou hast created him little lower t h a n
the angels." The greatest loss that can
come to the world is when a noble soul
ceases its earthly existence. The greatest heritage that the world has is the
memory of a gre.at personality. Wc a r e
called on this morning to mourn the los'?
of a great man. We also rejoice in t h e
memory of a life that has enriched and
ennobled mankind.

Praeco Goes to Press
C. S. N. S. will n o t need the subtile
workings of Coue on its subconscious
mind to convince itself that "Every year
in every wa.v Praeco gets better and better." Proofs for this stand out in bold
relief and can be stated thus:
1925 Praeeo is bigger—twenty more
jiages than any previous Praeco.
Its art work is unified, representing
the best old fashioned designers would
do for us from cover to cover.
Praeco is origiual in its ideas and execution of them. The school organizations
have put their best into designing their
pages.
Praeco has gone to press and will be
out on time if the Grit Publishing Company's record for efficient service is still
running.
The stjiflf has the nerve to enter it in
an All-American Year Book Scoring Contest; the results of which will be published iu Normal Times next September.
We make these claims for our Praeco
because we have studied, revised, and
studied the material for it until it is
now in the nth degree of excellence. Also because we have the opinions of two
experts in Year Book constitution concerning our own efforts in that direction.
The representative of the Grit Publishing Company who went over the material
before it was released to him considers

Mr. Drum Gives Farewell
Address
Mr. Drum spoke on "Service" on March
30. He discussed it from the teacher's
standpoint, mentioning the diflferent
kind of service different kinds of teach
ers may render. The good that a teacher maj' do is not measured in terms of
her salary.
The more a teacher possesses the more
she can share, so the ambitious teacher
eau give more than the ambitionless one.
Mr. Drum spoke of the advisability of
continuing the course here through a
university until one is granted a degree. I t is the aim of t h e school to instill this desire iu all students.
At no time since Mr. Drum's resignation was made known has its full import
been brought to us as it was on this
morniug.
In closing he extended his
wish for the future success to the student body. The exercises ended by the
singing of "Believe Me, if All Those Endearing Young Charms," requested by
Mr. Drum.
Sixth Grade Hike
Miss Giles took t h e pupils of the sixth
grade on a hike and picnic on Saturday,
April 25. They reported that they spent
a ver.v en,joyable day studying flowers
and birds.
For a third of a century Dr. J. George
Becht has been closely and intimately
associated with the educational activities of Pennsylvania.
No future historian will be able to write the educational history of this period without
prominently mentioning the name of Dr.
Becht. To me, personally, the loss of
Dr. Becht seems very real and personal.
My earliest educational experiences
were intimately and closely associated
with this inspiring man.
First, as a
teacher, then as a County Superintendent, later as a friend and valued counselor, since then he has been associated
with the State Department of Public

Novel Performance in Chapel
The sixth grade gave a new an 1
unique denidiisti-ation of the work that
is being directed by their ofBciciit training teacher, Miss Giles, April 24.
Marion Shaw directed the singing,
which was very well done, despite the
changing condition of the children's
voices. A few of the pupils read some
of their papers which were written in
their various classes. Marjorie Deise
and Joseph Furst read "Why I like
geography." Marjorie Glise's interest
was on English; while Myra Burd's and
Esther Hardy's favorites were History
jind Hygiene. No program would be
complete without the mathematical side;
Its enthusiast was Sheldon Moore. The
papers read gave one many different
views of the children; the things that
appealed to them were plainly seen.
Y. W. Contest
The Y. W. G. A. held a contest in
meetings between the Juniors and the
Seniors. The Seniors' meeting was held
Wednesday before Easter vacation. The
most important feature by the Senior
meeting was a vocal duet, by Etelka
Kiffer and Gertrude McDermott, "My
Task."
The Junior meeting was hold the Wednesday following Easter vacation. The
characteristic features of their meeting
was to pantomino the activities of the
y. w.
The judges of this contest, Miss Roberts, Miss Rowo and Miss Faust, decided in favor of the Seniors. The honor
was given to the Seniors because their
meeting was more of a devotional type.
Miss Roberts, Miss Whitwell and Miss
Alber went to Williamsport March 31,
lo see Jane Cowl play in "Romeo and
Juliet." The little Normalites stayed at
home to study their lessons, and all tho
t i m e regretted the fact that they were
not allowed to go down town to see
"Abie's Irish Rose."
On Receiving Grades for
Sehool Work
1 dii nut know wliether or not it has
e\er been yiuir exjierience, during your
school life to receive good, or perhaps
excellent grades, nor do I know whetlier or not you have ever received any
siiecial cminneudation for your work in
li'diit (if any of your classes by .1 welliiieaniiig teacher. But I do know very
well what the experience of such a iierson is,
1 .'iin not alleitipt ing to give you a dissertati^in upiiii my own jiarticular scholastic jKiwers luir am I tr>-ing to jiat
myself before you in any light other
than my true self. Another thing: I t
is not my belief tliat a student should
nut receive good grades if he deserves
them. Oh, no! Far be it from me to
say or believe such a thing for I wonld
indeed be r.-ither queer if I were to profess such a belief.
Have you ever been asked by sume
friend what grade yon have made in
some phase of your scliool work?
It would indeed be something new if
a student were found who had never
lieen asked such a thing—and have you
ever noticed, in most eases, how you
reply? If I am the one questioned, and
I have made good marks, I answer with
a sort of reluctance, as if I had been
caught at some trick, or as if I were
trying to apologize for it. AVhy do t
think that I have to make excuses for
such a grade? It must be that I fear
the remarks and the thoughts of those,
who asked the question.
What do these jieople say? More than
likel.v something like this: "Huh, I'll
bet you study all night," or "Well, I
could do that good too if I wanted to
spend all my time studying these crazy
books," perhaps "That must be some life
.you lead; nothing but eat, sleep and
study, mostly study." I know because
I've said the same things myself and I
realized while I was saying them that
I jirobably did not have much right to
say such things. I didn't stoji to think
that perhaps that person had studied
some at the right time and I hadn't done
nny studying at all and did not deserve
good grades.
TIMES
iiKii-k?" "Why I never thought that of
you."
What happens if some teacher thinks
that I must be commended before the
class tor some good jiiece of work that
I have done? If I should look around
after the deed is done, I catch a fewsmiles as if their originators wanted to
say, "Very good, Jenny, very good indeed," and jierehance I hear a few supjiressed sounds evidently caused by extreme amusement of a sort that somehow does not produce any similar emotion in me. Now because this happens
and because others feel constrained to
make such coinments I have never enjoyed to its last extreme any public
praise by my teachers, and I do not cry
it to tho four winds when 1 make good
marks. But what do I do if I am distinguished by my indift'ereuce toward
my studies and consequently receive
low grades? Do I keep quiet? Certainl.y not.
I let every one know what a hard
path I must hoe, how badly I am treated
b.v my teachers, and what injustice I
meet at every hand. I am treated w-ith
less resjiect than others. I am don-ii
trodden by my heartless oppressors.
What chance have I with my teachers
working against me? My grades are not
my fault. I work hard, yes, even toil
over my books, and these marks, these
marks mind you, are the result. After I have received such grades for a
while I make light of them and take
a doubtful pride in telling folks I am
careless. It does not concern me—no,
not until it comes time to take home
my rejiort.
And then—here again I make excuses
for my marks. It doesn't seem to matter much whether I stand high or low,
for I feel it my duty to excuse myself
in either case. Why? I do not know.
Concert Artists Secured
The Normal School has been very fortunate in securing concerts and entertainments of the highest grade for the
last few years and is trying to surpass
them for the year 1925-26.

It Pays to Advertise
The inembers of Price Literary Society entertained the "Shake" Soeiety in
an open meeting, April 24. In order
that they might feel more at home the
Shakespeare song was sung.
The main feature of the program was
the various tableaus representing well
known advertisements.
These scenes
took one to sunimer resorts, into tho
home, on the beach. The various ad
vertisements represented were:
AtWater Kent Radio, Suiikist Oranges,
Hawaiian Tourist Bureau, Lux, Chesterfield, Coca-Cola. Those who deserves
much credit for making these scenes a
success are Byron McDowell, Hugh
Fredericks, Janet Campbell, Marian
Bailey, Rita McAlee, K a t h r y n Hasson,
Jo Beaujon, Veronica Joyce, Hettie Holman, Peg Cunningham, Margaret Ulsh,
Betty Shellenberger, Mary Jean Trembath, Margaret Gurrell and Carman
.Johnson.
But advertising was not the only way
of entertaining. Price has some very
talented members, not only in one line
but many. Roberta Wolfe and Hazel
.Moose sang "Dark Brown Is the River."
A reading entitled "Sad and Good Attention," was greatly enjoyed by the
audience as jiresented by Mary Taylor.
A piano duet was played by Anne Ginger and Etelka Kiffer.
Boy's Day Room
The second seniester finds Brown
Bossert hard at work. He has already
limited his visitors (the girls) to nine
a day, no one being allowed to stay more
than forty-five minntes.
His practice
in jienmanship has so stiffened his fingers
that he is scarcely able to manipulate
his fiddle. Go slow. Brown!
Bill Bitner is trying to keep his
equilibrium by placing a girl on each
side of him. He finds that this is an
improvement over the old method which
required only one girl; the only objection is that he must select small ones in
order to keep them in place.
Those
seats in the day room are too darn narrow.
Threats from fair maidens of the day
room caused Fredericks to lose his mustache. When one sacrifices as much as
Fredericks did to have something admirable, why don't the girls admire it?
Praeco Editor for 1926
The editor-in-chief and business manager of Praeco for 1926 are to be chosen
by the Juniors this year.
Previously
the editors of Praeco have been chosen
by the Seniors at the beginning of the
school year. As a result the editor-inchief was rushed into the work without
any experience. According to the new
plan the Junior editor-in-chief will bo
able to get some pointers about the work
from the Senior editor-in-chief.
A committee—Hazel Moose, Eleanor McMaekin, Leonore Sharp—was appointed
tc choose, with Mr. Trembath, those who
are best fitted for the position.
Election will take plaee soon.

still remained in a mail box)—"I wonder

S. S. Wyer Lectures
Samuel S. Wyer, a lecturer of t h e
Smithsonian Institute, visited Lock Haven during the last week of April. I n
his series of talks Dr. Wyer had three
big questions which ho wished to bring
before the American public. This he
thinks can be done through the American Jiublic schools, hence his visit to
Lock Haven State Normal School. The
biggest of these questions, under which
the other two may possibly be jilaced, is
the question of the conservation of our
natural resources. Tho other two were
the rapid growth of civilization and tlie
lack of statistics in the molding of public beliefs.
The former of these last
two Dr. Wyer illustrated by the growth
of transportation, especially the railways, and the latter by .a brilliant diseussion of the Muscles Shoals question.
Dr. Wyer has made a thorough study
of the Muscles Shoals question and gave
great numbers of statistics to show t h a t
its greatness is nowhere near what common public opinion has supposed i t to
be. He quoted newspaptus, magazines,
and men as to the irajiortance of government control of this project. The minimum horsepower of Muscles Shoals is
one hundred thousand, whib? a steam
plant outside of Pittsburgh makes two
and one half times as much electricity,
and Niagara Falls can possibly make two
hundred and fifty times as much. Dr.
Wyer says, "The Wilson Dam is the
longest in the world, and is the biggest
in structure, but this does not necessarily mean that it produces more elec
tricity than any other dam in the world."

TIMES
The Fairy Rose
A playet in song, "The Fairy Rose,"
was presented by the training school pupils of kindergarten, first, fourth, and
fifth grades.
Frederick was sitting alone in the
dense forest pondering over how he
might find the magic rose by which his
grandmother could be healed. Suddenlj'
a little man in green came galloping
through the forest; stopping he inquired what the trouble was and assured
Frederick that he would be given aid.
Sunshine and Shadow entered, dressed
in their robes of the most dainty tints
and somber shades, soon followed by
the butterfly, bird, bug, and firefly, each
singing the message he wished to impart.
The entire company departed into the
thicket, in the meantime the Queen,
surrounded by six fairies, entered. Frederick interrupted the fairy dance, by
clapping his hands, and so was discovered. He told the Queen his troubles,
and with the assistance of the little
green man, gained the fairy rose from
the Queen, whereby his grandmother is
restored to health.
Too much cannot be said about the
pleasing quality of the children's voices,
and their clever original costumes. Miss
Whitwell deserves the applause for putting on such a splendid program.

Mr. Armstrong Leads Chapel
Mr. Armstrong conducted the chapel
exercises on April 20 for the first time
since his arrival. He spoke of several
things among them the use of the new
panic bolts, which have been placed on
the side doors.
He briefly told about the meeting of
the Alumni, which was held in Pittsburgh, April 18. Mr. Armstrong said he
noticed especially the large number of
people who, now that their school days
are over, are just beginning to enjoy the
experiences of the school days.
A request was made that chapel begin and close on time. In order to do
this classes must be dismissed on time.
Reviews Work of Cominittee
Mr. Gage spoke in chapel on April 14.
He reviewed the work of the National
Committee of Modern Foreign Languages, which has the support of the
Carnegie Fund. He then read the resolutions of the committee. All students
who have taken any modern foreign
language will in a short time be presented with a questionare that will try
to determine whether or not any practical use is made of the knowledge
gained from these studies.
The committee is making this investigation in an effort to make the instruction of Spanish, French and Italian
more valuable.

Should Fairy Tales Be
Told to Children
Many people think that fairy tales or
myths should not be told to children.
Some of them object because fairy
stories are not true. They think that
the child will learn to tell falsehoods
or 1^111 got a wrong impression of life
from listening to them. It seems to me
tliat these people luive forgotten how it
feels to be a child. They have forgotten about that active imagination -which
will not lie dormant but which must
be stimulated or stirred in one way or
another. Tliey do not realize that that
imagination must be directed in riglit
paths or it will go into wrong ones.
Just because of this active imagination of children they often tell wild
stories about adventures they have had
or things tliey have done. This does
not show in the child a tendency to tell
falsehoods, but merely shows that this
active imagination must have some outlet.
Then too, think of the romance and
mystery that is added to a child's life
.by his belief in fairies, brownies,
nymphs or sprites. He never knows
where he may see a fairy, or brownies,
or a goblin, in tree fountain or woodland, and so he looks for them and
drinks of tlie beauties of nature. Even
after he is grown how he loves to think
of failles in the woodland, sprites in the
trees and nymphs in the fountain. We
know this because many of our own lives
have been enriched and brightened by
this belief in fairies and myths.
After people say that allowing a child
to believe in fairies, brownies, Santa
Claus, etc., causes him to lose his faith
in his parents or teachers when lie is
old enough to know that they are not
t r u e ; but who of us can say that these
things are not true, not real. To be
sure we do not see fairies, brownies,
nymphs or sprites, but are not the greatest things in life tlie things which we
do not see, the spiritual things.
The
child will see the spiritual meaning of
these things as lie grows older.
A mother told her little boy a story
about the good brownies who are kind
and helpful to people. Ono afternoon
she had a headache and was unable to do
her work, so she lay down for an hour
or so. When she arose she found hev
rooms in perfect order. Her little boy
was as delighted as she was to tell her
that the brownies had been there. He
had been motlier's brownie. No one can
tell what noble qualities and virtues a

cliild may imitate by hearing fairy stories that depict these qualities, or how
his life may be moulded after a noble
mythological character. It is by hear
ing stories of them that he learns to love
or admire them.
If one should try to take from life
everything that is not a literal tniih,
a fact, how bare and empty life wonl.^
seem. It would hardly be worth the liv
ing. Therefore let us, by telling aiiil
reading fairy stories to children, fill
tiieir minds with these beautiful things,
for unless we do, we may be sure •iu}
will be tilled with unwholesome thougi.ts
and deeds, for the fire of imagination
eaiinot be quenched.
On Sleeping Two in a Bed

"Say, you're taking all the covers. All
I have is one end of the sheet."
"Go on, you're the one who has all
the covers. I'm crowded up against the
wall so tight you couldn't find room to
stick a pin in the wall."
"Oh, heck, my feet are sticking out.
Say, you almost pushed me off the bed.
1'here now, you did it. That wasn't a
very easy fall. I'll bet the kids under
us think we're liaving a boxing match."
"Sh! Here comes one of the council.
Well, she didn't catch us that time."
"Well, what if she would! There's
only two in this room."
"Yes, but we're not supposed to make
any noise."
"Quiet girls!"
"Oh darn, now see what you did. Why

"I'd like to know whose making all
this noise. You're doing your share."
"You're pretty good a t it yourself.
Well, what do you call that you're donig now?"
"Oh, go on over to your own bed. I
don't want to sleep with you anyway."
"Girls, you must be quiet. Sh! Let's
go to sleep."
"All right, I'm tired anyway."

To Thine Ownself Be True
Alumni Notes
The Arts 420 class has been doing all
kinds of work. They have made raffia
baskets—all colors, shapes and sizes.
The,y are busily working at towels now.
If you see a girl carrying a towel or
scarf around with her, you will know
that slie is doing lier work for art. Some
of them are hemstitched and worked with
Swedish weaving. Others are worked in
cross stitching. This class expects to
make crepe de chine scarfs and design
them, themselves.
If you want to buy baskets, towels,
dresser scarfs, library scarfs and neck
scarfs see any one of the members of
the Arts 420 class.
The Group I students wlio are taking
art have made some very attractive projects. One was a Peter Eabbit project.
Peter Eabbit was being chased out of
the garden b.v Mr. McGregor. The garden looked like a real one.
Another
one was a grocery store. Little shelves
wore made and on these were canned
goods, cereals, etc. A little counter was
very attractive, having piled upon it
oranges, eggs and lemons. On the floor
were barrels of flour, apples and potatoes. A touch was added to the store
by having a clerk and customers. Another project was a little toy store. Large
windows were made for the front of the
store and all kinds of toys from a balloon to a kiddy car were sold in this
store.
"Say, Sally, do you have your comp
done for today?"
"Why, of course, you know I always
write something for Mr. Trembath,
don't y o u ? "
"Well, I don't have anything for today."
"Why, Anne, I'm surprised, you're the
girl that always has her lessons prepared, aren't you?"
"Oh, yes, but you see, I can't copy
anybody's comp. All my other stuff
comes easy, but comps have to be original."
"Oh, I see, you're playing the game of
truth and consequence, and you've chosen
consequence. Well, I guess you'll get
it at the end of nine weeks."
"Speaking of truth, Sally, do you know
that's where I got the idea of taking
things easy. In my Senior year at high
school, I had an autograph album, of
course.
I asked one of my teachers
to autograph it and she readily assented
by writing, "To thine own self be true,"
and so it follows that you will be true
to others. Immediately I conceived tlie
idea that it would be pretty nice to follow out this plan. Ever since I've been
treating myself pretty nice."
Why not try it?
It's one thing to quote, and another
to interpret. Beware of your reasoning power.
Miss Jean Sisler, of '23, assistant art
supervisor of the Altoona Public Schools,
on March 21. became the bride of Mr.
Fred Kuth, also of Altoona. The wedding took place in Harrisburg.
A flat project representing a circus
was very good. All the things that we
see at a circus were on this project, such
as clowns, elephants, monkeys, balloon
man and a circus tent.
The children from the training school
came over to see these projects, and
they enjoyed looking at them. The children were so interested in them that
when they came back to the training
school they spent some time in talking
about them. So these projects were of
benefit to both the C. S. N. S. students
and the children.

Are we interested iu our Naturalists'
Club? We can say "yes," because the
members who have departed in body
from us are still loyal and with the organization in mind and in heart.
Helen Nace, who is now in Florida,
sent Mrs. Ulmer a letter and a box to
be presented to the club.
Carrying out the request, Mrs. Ulmer
called a special meeting of the Naturalists' Club on Thursday evening, April
2. Every one wns curious to examine
the different species of southern spring
flowers, moss, blossoms, etc., which were
beautifully arranged in the box.
We wish to extend our sincere appreciation to Miss Nace.

Chapel exercises on Wednesda.v, April
29, were devoted to the honoring of the
memory of Dr. .1. George Becht, State
Superintendent of Public Instruction,
whose funeral was held that afternoori
at 2:15 at Williamsport.
During t h e
hour of the funeral all work throughout
the building ceased. Mr. Ulmer in t h e
following speech iiaid tribute to t h e
man he h,ad personally known and admired:
The alumni of this school who live or
teach in Southwestern Pennsylvania
pledged their allegiance to Central State
Normal's new principal at their annual
banquet, held this year on April 18, in
the Fort P i t t Hotel, Pittsburgh. It was
a typical, lively, friendly Pittsburgh affair, with about sixty of the alumni present, representing classes from 1887 to
1924; with Principal John A. Entz, head
of the California State Normal School,
and a graduate of Lock Haven in the
class of 1899, running off a lengthy toast
list in his capacity as toastmaster; with
the new principal of the school making
his first appearance in an alumni group;
and with loyalty to Central State and all
that she stands for running high.
Fred Balfour, 1903, and J. Buell Snyder, 1901, kept the songs going in spirited fashion. Mrs. Luna B. Hill, 1887,
secretary of the Southwestern Pennsylvania Alumni Association, to whom
much of the credit for the success of
the affair is due, acted as a steering
committee in finding place cards and in
getting acquainted. Albert Howe, 1889,
president of the association, ran off the
self-introductions which feature these
Pittsburgh gatherings, and presided at
the short business session, in which L.
G. Chorpenning, 1898, was elected president of tho association for the ensuing
year, and Mrs. Elmer E. Houck, 1905,
was elected secretary.
Toastmaster John A. Entz, one of Lock
Haven's graduates, who profited by her
teaching to such an extent that he is
operating that excellent and (luckily
for us, perhaps) distant rival of ours at
California, introduced in order William
L. Dively, 1921, a senior a t the University of Pittsburgh; Mrs. Marjorie
Sones Boyd, 1919; Mrs. Mayme Straessley, 1903; Fred Balfour, 1903; S. H.
Keplogle, 1895, assistant superintendent
of Pittsburgh's schools; Dean W. O.
Chambers, 1887, head of Penn State's
School of Education; Dr. Dallas W.
Armstrong, Loek Haven's new principal,
and Prof. T. W. Trembath. Each of
them contributed anecdotes of Lock Haven as she has been, pledged hearty
support to her now, or predicted her
rosy future. Master Dean Mikesell gave

Mr. Long's Name Omitted
I n the previuos issue, through an
oversight, Mr. Long's name did not appear with those of the speakers at the
farewell banquet held in honor of Mr.
Drum. Mr. Long spoke of the harmony
which existed between the local school
authorities and Mr. Drum. He said that
that he regretted seeing Mr. Drum leave
and assured Mr. Armstrong of the cooperation of the local school board with
him in anything he may do.
J.
The noblest creature of God's creation is a righteous man or womaji.
Righteousness is the only thing that is
permanent; all other things are bur
temporary. It is the noble man t h a t
the Psalmist referred to when he said,
"Thou hast created him little lower t h a n
the angels." The greatest loss that can
come to the world is when a noble soul
ceases its earthly existence. The greatest heritage that the world has is the
memory of a gre.at personality. Wc a r e
called on this morning to mourn the los'?
of a great man. We also rejoice in t h e
memory of a life that has enriched and
ennobled mankind.

Praeco Goes to Press
C. S. N. S. will n o t need the subtile
workings of Coue on its subconscious
mind to convince itself that "Every year
in every wa.v Praeco gets better and better." Proofs for this stand out in bold
relief and can be stated thus:
1925 Praeeo is bigger—twenty more
jiages than any previous Praeco.
Its art work is unified, representing
the best old fashioned designers would
do for us from cover to cover.
Praeco is origiual in its ideas and execution of them. The school organizations
have put their best into designing their
pages.
Praeco has gone to press and will be
out on time if the Grit Publishing Company's record for efficient service is still
running.
The stjiflf has the nerve to enter it in
an All-American Year Book Scoring Contest; the results of which will be published iu Normal Times next September.
We make these claims for our Praeco
because we have studied, revised, and
studied the material for it until it is
now in the nth degree of excellence. Also because we have the opinions of two
experts in Year Book constitution concerning our own efforts in that direction.
The representative of the Grit Publishing Company who went over the material
before it was released to him considers

Mr. Drum Gives Farewell
Address
Mr. Drum spoke on "Service" on March
30. He discussed it from the teacher's
standpoint, mentioning the diflferent
kind of service different kinds of teach
ers may render. The good that a teacher maj' do is not measured in terms of
her salary.
The more a teacher possesses the more
she can share, so the ambitious teacher
eau give more than the ambitionless one.
Mr. Drum spoke of the advisability of
continuing the course here through a
university until one is granted a degree. I t is the aim of t h e school to instill this desire iu all students.
At no time since Mr. Drum's resignation was made known has its full import
been brought to us as it was on this
morniug.
In closing he extended his
wish for the future success to the student body. The exercises ended by the
singing of "Believe Me, if All Those Endearing Young Charms," requested by
Mr. Drum.
Sixth Grade Hike
Miss Giles took t h e pupils of the sixth
grade on a hike and picnic on Saturday,
April 25. They reported that they spent
a ver.v en,joyable day studying flowers
and birds.
For a third of a century Dr. J. George
Becht has been closely and intimately
associated with the educational activities of Pennsylvania.
No future historian will be able to write the educational history of this period without
prominently mentioning the name of Dr.
Becht. To me, personally, the loss of
Dr. Becht seems very real and personal.
My earliest educational experiences
were intimately and closely associated
with this inspiring man.
First, as a
teacher, then as a County Superintendent, later as a friend and valued counselor, since then he has been associated
with the State Department of Public

Novel Performance in Chapel
The sixth grade gave a new an 1
unique denidiisti-ation of the work that
is being directed by their ofBciciit training teacher, Miss Giles, April 24.
Marion Shaw directed the singing,
which was very well done, despite the
changing condition of the children's
voices. A few of the pupils read some
of their papers which were written in
their various classes. Marjorie Deise
and Joseph Furst read "Why I like
geography." Marjorie Glise's interest
was on English; while Myra Burd's and
Esther Hardy's favorites were History
jind Hygiene. No program would be
complete without the mathematical side;
Its enthusiast was Sheldon Moore. The
papers read gave one many different
views of the children; the things that
appealed to them were plainly seen.
Y. W. Contest
The Y. W. G. A. held a contest in
meetings between the Juniors and the
Seniors. The Seniors' meeting was held
Wednesday before Easter vacation. The
most important feature by the Senior
meeting was a vocal duet, by Etelka
Kiffer and Gertrude McDermott, "My
Task."
The Junior meeting was hold the Wednesday following Easter vacation. The
characteristic features of their meeting
was to pantomino the activities of the
y. w.
The judges of this contest, Miss Roberts, Miss Rowo and Miss Faust, decided in favor of the Seniors. The honor
was given to the Seniors because their
meeting was more of a devotional type.
Miss Roberts, Miss Whitwell and Miss
Alber went to Williamsport March 31,
lo see Jane Cowl play in "Romeo and
Juliet." The little Normalites stayed at
home to study their lessons, and all tho
t i m e regretted the fact that they were
not allowed to go down town to see
"Abie's Irish Rose."
On Receiving Grades for
Sehool Work
1 dii nut know wliether or not it has
e\er been yiuir exjierience, during your
school life to receive good, or perhaps
excellent grades, nor do I know whetlier or not you have ever received any
siiecial cminneudation for your work in
li'diit (if any of your classes by .1 welliiieaniiig teacher. But I do know very
well what the experience of such a iierson is,
1 .'iin not alleitipt ing to give you a dissertati^in upiiii my own jiarticular scholastic jKiwers luir am I tr>-ing to jiat
myself before you in any light other
than my true self. Another thing: I t
is not my belief tliat a student should
nut receive good grades if he deserves
them. Oh, no! Far be it from me to
say or believe such a thing for I wonld
indeed be r.-ither queer if I were to profess such a belief.
Have you ever been asked by sume
friend what grade yon have made in
some phase of your scliool work?
It would indeed be something new if
a student were found who had never
lieen asked such a thing—and have you
ever noticed, in most eases, how you
reply? If I am the one questioned, and
I have made good marks, I answer with
a sort of reluctance, as if I had been
caught at some trick, or as if I were
trying to apologize for it. AVhy do t
think that I have to make excuses for
such a grade? It must be that I fear
the remarks and the thoughts of those,
who asked the question.
What do these jieople say? More than
likel.v something like this: "Huh, I'll
bet you study all night," or "Well, I
could do that good too if I wanted to
spend all my time studying these crazy
books," perhaps "That must be some life
.you lead; nothing but eat, sleep and
study, mostly study." I know because
I've said the same things myself and I
realized while I was saying them that
I jirobably did not have much right to
say such things. I didn't stoji to think
that perhaps that person had studied
some at the right time and I hadn't done
nny studying at all and did not deserve
good grades.
TIMES
iiKii-k?" "Why I never thought that of
you."
What happens if some teacher thinks
that I must be commended before the
class tor some good jiiece of work that
I have done? If I should look around
after the deed is done, I catch a fewsmiles as if their originators wanted to
say, "Very good, Jenny, very good indeed," and jierehance I hear a few supjiressed sounds evidently caused by extreme amusement of a sort that somehow does not produce any similar emotion in me. Now because this happens
and because others feel constrained to
make such coinments I have never enjoyed to its last extreme any public
praise by my teachers, and I do not cry
it to tho four winds when 1 make good
marks. But what do I do if I am distinguished by my indift'ereuce toward
my studies and consequently receive
low grades? Do I keep quiet? Certainl.y not.
I let every one know what a hard
path I must hoe, how badly I am treated
b.v my teachers, and what injustice I
meet at every hand. I am treated w-ith
less resjiect than others. I am don-ii
trodden by my heartless oppressors.
What chance have I with my teachers
working against me? My grades are not
my fault. I work hard, yes, even toil
over my books, and these marks, these
marks mind you, are the result. After I have received such grades for a
while I make light of them and take
a doubtful pride in telling folks I am
careless. It does not concern me—no,
not until it comes time to take home
my rejiort.
And then—here again I make excuses
for my marks. It doesn't seem to matter much whether I stand high or low,
for I feel it my duty to excuse myself
in either case. Why? I do not know.
Concert Artists Secured
The Normal School has been very fortunate in securing concerts and entertainments of the highest grade for the

them for the year 1925-26.

It Pays to Advertise
The inembers of Price Literary Society entertained the "Shake" Soeiety in
an open meeting, April 24. In order
that they might feel more at home the
Shakespeare song was sung.
The main feature of the program was
the various tableaus representing well
known advertisements.
These scenes
took one to sunimer resorts, into tho
home, on the beach. The various ad
vertisements represented were:
AtWater Kent Radio, Suiikist Oranges,
Hawaiian Tourist Bureau, Lux, Chesterfield, Coca-Cola. Those who deserves
much credit for making these scenes a
success are Byron McDowell, Hugh
Fredericks, Janet Campbell, Marian
Bailey, Rita McAlee, K a t h r y n Hasson,
Jo Beaujon, Veronica Joyce, Hettie Holman, Peg Cunningham, Margaret Ulsh,
Betty Shellenberger, Mary Jean Trembath, Margaret Gurrell and Carman
.Johnson.
But advertising was not the only way
of entertaining. Price has some very
talented members, not only in one line
but many. Roberta Wolfe and Hazel
.Moose sang "Dark Brown Is the River."
A reading entitled "Sad and Good Attention," was greatly enjoyed by the
audience as jiresented by Mary Taylor.
A piano duet was played by Anne Ginger and Etelka Kiffer.
Boy's Day Room
The second seniester finds Brown
Bossert hard at work. He has already
limited his visitors (the girls) to nine
a day, no one being allowed to stay more
than forty-five minntes.
His practice
in jienmanship has so stiffened his fingers
that he is scarcely able to manipulate
his fiddle. Go slow. Brown!
Bill Bitner is trying to keep his
equilibrium by placing a girl on each
side of him. He finds that this is an
improvement over the old method which
required only one girl; the only objection is that he must select small ones in
order to keep them in place.
Those
seats in the day room are too darn narrow.
Threats from fair maidens of the day
room caused Fredericks to lose his mustache. When one sacrifices as much as
Fredericks did to have something admirable, why don't the girls admire it?
Praeco Editor for 1926
The editor-in-chief and business manager of Praeco for 1926 are to be chosen
by the Juniors this year.
Previously
the editors of Praeco have been chosen
by the Seniors at the beginning of the
school year. As a result the editor-inchief was rushed into the work without
any experience. According to the new
plan the Junior editor-in-chief will bo
able to get some pointers about the work
from the Senior editor-in-chief.
A committee—Hazel Moose, Eleanor McMaekin, Leonore Sharp—was appointed
tc choose, with Mr. Trembath, those who
are best fitted for the position.
Election will take plaee soon.

still remained in a mail box)—"I wonder

S. S. Wyer Lectures
Samuel S. Wyer, a lecturer of t h e
Smithsonian Institute, visited Lock Haven during the last week of April. I n
his series of talks Dr. Wyer had three
big questions which ho wished to bring
before the American public. This he
thinks can be done through the American Jiublic schools, hence his visit to
Lock Haven State Normal School. The
biggest of these questions, under which
the other two may possibly be jilaced, is
the question of the conservation of our
natural resources. Tho other two were
the rapid growth of civilization and tlie
lack of statistics in the molding of public beliefs.
The former of these last
two Dr. Wyer illustrated by the growth
of transportation, especially the railways, and the latter by .a brilliant diseussion of the Muscles Shoals question.
Dr. Wyer has made a thorough study
of the Muscles Shoals question and gave
great numbers of statistics to show t h a t
its greatness is nowhere near what common public opinion has supposed i t to
be. He quoted newspaptus, magazines,
and men as to the irajiortance of government control of this project. The minimum horsepower of Muscles Shoals is
one hundred thousand, whib? a steam
plant outside of Pittsburgh makes two
and one half times as much electricity,
and Niagara Falls can possibly make two
hundred and fifty times as much. Dr.
Wyer says, "The Wilson Dam is the
longest in the world, and is the biggest
in structure, but this does not necessarily mean that it produces more elec
tricity than any other dam in the world."

TIMES
The Fairy Rose
A playet in song, "The Fairy Rose,"
was presented by the training school pupils of kindergarten, first, fourth, and
fifth grades.
Frederick was sitting alone in the
dense forest pondering over how he
might find the magic rose by which his
grandmother could be healed. Suddenlj'
a little man in green came galloping
through the forest; stopping he inquired what the trouble was and assured
Frederick that he would be given aid.
Sunshine and Shadow entered, dressed
in their robes of the most dainty tints
and somber shades, soon followed by
the butterfly, bird, bug, and firefly, each
singing the message he wished to impart.
The entire company departed into the
thicket, in the meantime the Queen,
surrounded by six fairies, entered. Frederick interrupted the fairy dance, by
clapping his hands, and so was discovered. He told the Queen his troubles,
and with the assistance of the little
green man, gained the fairy rose from
the Queen, whereby his grandmother is
restored to health.
Too much cannot be said about the
pleasing quality of the children's voices,
and their clever original costumes. Miss
Whitwell deserves the applause for putting on such a splendid program.

Mr. Armstrong conducted the chapel
exercises on April 20 for the first time
since his arrival. He spoke of several
things among them the use of the new
panic bolts, which have been placed on
the side doors.
He briefly told about the meeting of
the Alumni, which was held in Pittsburgh, April 18. Mr. Armstrong said he
noticed especially the large number of
people who, now that their school days
are over, are just beginning to enjoy the
experiences of the school days.
A request was made that chapel begin and close on time. In order to do
this classes must be dismissed on time.
Reviews Work of Cominittee
Mr. Gage spoke in chapel on April 14.
He reviewed the work of the National
Committee of Modern Foreign Languages, which has the support of the
Carnegie Fund. He then read the resolutions of the committee. All students
who have taken any modern foreign
language will in a short time be presented with a questionare that will try
to determine whether or not any practical use is made of the knowledge
gained from these studies.
The committee is making this investigation in an effort to make the instruction of Spanish, French and Italian
more valuable.

Should Fairy Tales Be
Told to Children
Many people think that fairy tales or
myths should not be told to children.
Some of them object because fairy
stories are not true. They think that
the child will learn to tell falsehoods
or 1^111 got a wrong impression of life
from listening to them. It seems to me
tliat these people luive forgotten how it
feels to be a child. They have forgotten about that active imagination -which
will not lie dormant but which must
be stimulated or stirred in one way or
another. Tliey do not realize that that
imagination must be directed in riglit
paths or it will go into wrong ones.
Just because of this active imagination of children they often tell wild
stories about adventures they have had
or things tliey have done. This does
not show in the child a tendency to tell
falsehoods, but merely shows that this
active imagination must have some outlet.
Then too, think of the romance and
mystery that is added to a child's life
.by his belief in fairies, brownies,
nymphs or sprites. He never knows
where he may see a fairy, or brownies,
or a goblin, in tree fountain or woodland, and so he looks for them and
drinks of tlie beauties of nature. Even
after he is grown how he loves to think
of failles in the woodland, sprites in the
trees and nymphs in the fountain. We
know this because many of our own lives
have been enriched and brightened by
this belief in fairies and myths.
After people say that allowing a child
to believe in fairies, brownies, Santa
Claus, etc., causes him to lose his faith
in his parents or teachers when lie is
old enough to know that they are not
t r u e ; but who of us can say that these
things are not true, not real. To be
sure we do not see fairies, brownies,
nymphs or sprites, but are not the greatest things in life tlie things which we
do not see, the spiritual things.
The
child will see the spiritual meaning of
these things as lie grows older.
A mother told her little boy a story
about the good brownies who are kind
and helpful to people. Ono afternoon
she had a headache and was unable to do
her work, so she lay down for an hour
or so. When she arose she found hev
rooms in perfect order. Her little boy
was as delighted as she was to tell her
that the brownies had been there. He
had been motlier's brownie. No one can
tell what noble qualities and virtues a

cliild may imitate by hearing fairy stories that depict these qualities, or how
his life may be moulded after a noble
mythological character. It is by hear
ing stories of them that he learns to love
or admire them.
If one should try to take from life
everything that is not a literal tniih,
a fact, how bare and empty life wonl.^
seem. It would hardly be worth the liv
ing. Therefore let us, by telling aiiil
reading fairy stories to children, fill
tiieir minds with these beautiful things,
for unless we do, we may be sure •iu}
will be tilled with unwholesome thougi.ts
and deeds, for the fire of imagination
eaiinot be quenched.
On Sleeping Two in a Bed

"Say, you're taking all the covers. All
I have is one end of the sheet."
"Go on, you're the one who has all
the covers. I'm crowded up against the
wall so tight you couldn't find room to
stick a pin in the wall."
"Oh, heck, my feet are sticking out.
Say, you almost pushed me off the bed.
1'here now, you did it. That wasn't a
very easy fall. I'll bet the kids under
us think we're liaving a boxing match."
"Sh! Here comes one of the council.
Well, she didn't catch us that time."
"Well, what if she would! There's
only two in this room."
"Yes, but we're not supposed to make
any noise."
"Quiet girls!"
"Oh darn, now see what you did. Why
don't you keep q u i e t l "
"I'd like to know whose making all
this noise. You're doing your share."
"You're pretty good a t it yourself.
Well, what do you call that you're donig now?"
"Oh, go on over to your own bed. I
don't want to sleep with you anyway."
"Girls, you must be quiet. Sh! Let's
go to sleep."
"All right, I'm tired anyway."

To Thine Ownself Be True
Alumni Notes
The Arts 420 class has been doing all
kinds of work. They have made raffia
baskets—all colors, shapes and sizes.
The,y are busily working at towels now.
If you see a girl carrying a towel or
scarf around with her, you will know
that slie is doing lier work for art. Some
of them are hemstitched and worked with
Swedish weaving. Others are worked in
cross stitching. This class expects to
make crepe de chine scarfs and design
them, themselves.
If you want to buy baskets, towels,
dresser scarfs, library scarfs and neck
scarfs see any one of the members of
the Arts 420 class.
The Group I students wlio are taking
art have made some very attractive projects. One was a Peter Eabbit project.
Peter Eabbit was being chased out of
the garden b.v Mr. McGregor. The garden looked like a real one.
Another
one was a grocery store. Little shelves
wore made and on these were canned
goods, cereals, etc. A little counter was
very attractive, having piled upon it
oranges, eggs and lemons. On the floor
were barrels of flour, apples and potatoes. A touch was added to the store
by having a clerk and customers. Another project was a little toy store. Large
windows were made for the front of the
store and all kinds of toys from a balloon to a kiddy car were sold in this
store.
"Say, Sally, do you have your comp
done for today?"
"Why, of course, you know I always
write something for Mr. Trembath,
don't y o u ? "
"Well, I don't have anything for today."
"Why, Anne, I'm surprised, you're the
girl that always has her lessons prepared, aren't you?"
"Oh, yes, but you see, I can't copy
anybody's comp. All my other stuff
comes easy, but comps have to be original."
"Oh, I see, you're playing the game of
truth and consequence, and you've chosen
consequence. Well, I guess you'll get
it at the end of nine weeks."
"Speaking of truth, Sally, do you know
that's where I got the idea of taking
things easy. In my Senior year at high
school, I had an autograph album, of
course.
I asked one of my teachers
to autograph it and she readily assented
by writing, "To thine own self be true,"
and so it follows that you will be true
to others. Immediately I conceived tlie
idea that it would be pretty nice to follow out this plan. Ever since I've been
treating myself pretty nice."
Why not try it?
It's one thing to quote, and another
to interpret. Beware of your reasoning power.
Miss Jean Sisler, of '23, assistant art
supervisor of the Altoona Public Schools,
on March 21. became the bride of Mr.
Fred Kuth, also of Altoona. The wedding took place in Harrisburg.
A flat project representing a circus
was very good. All the things that we
see at a circus were on this project, such
as clowns, elephants, monkeys, balloon
man and a circus tent.
The children from the training school
came over to see these projects, and
they enjoyed looking at them. The children were so interested in them that
when they came back to the training
school they spent some time in talking
about them. So these projects were of
benefit to both the C. S. N. S. students
and the children.

Are we interested iu our Naturalists'
Club? We can say "yes," because the
members who have departed in body
from us are still loyal and with the organization in mind and in heart.
Helen Nace, who is now in Florida,
sent Mrs. Ulmer a letter and a box to
be presented to the club.
Carrying out the request, Mrs. Ulmer
called a special meeting of the Naturalists' Club on Thursday evening, April
2. Every one wns curious to examine
the different species of southern spring
flowers, moss, blossoms, etc., which were
beautifully arranged in the box.
We wish to extend our sincere appreciation to Miss Nace.
