Over Battered Team—WinBorrowed From Institute
ners Prove Good Sports
The Central State football team made
the long overland journey to Winburne
on November 17, only to meet with defeat. The passing game of the tall warriors on the Cooper High School squad
proved too much for Normal's wrecked
squad. Up until the injuries to Schrot
and Ward at the outset of the last
quarter the game had been evenly battled, Winburne shoving over a touchdown in the second period, but being
held for the most part with little gain.
After those two injuries, however, in
the last quarter a succession of forward
passes, varied by short runs for little
gain, took the Clearfleld Countians over
the goal line three times in rapid succession. The four touchdowns represent
the entire scoring. Central State being
held scoreless, and Winburne failing on
all try-for-points.
Cooper High proved to have one of
the huskiest squads in the state, their
tall boys in moleskins outweighing the
Normal aggregation about fifteen ])ounds
to the man. Also the.y had a mighty
good team, one that played the game
hard, and that had the forward pass
down to a system, too good a s.ysteni
from our angle. The Normal School
team gave a good account of itself. There
was little gaining through the lines or
around the ends by sti'aight football.
Had the full team been in the full game,
it is still likely that Winburne would
have won, but the score would have been
held to a single touchdown.

Round Table Conference
Holds Annual Meeting
The sujieriiitendents and princijials of
the schools throughout Central Pennsylvania met in the Normal School on November 16 and 17 for thoir annual round
table conference. The attendance was
rather small this j'car, only about thirtyfive of the men of this district being
here; but there was no less enjoyment
and profit from the meeting for all that.
As usual with this gathering, tho meetings were informal, a give and take atmosphere making them as informal as
they have always been, and distinguishing this meeting from tho usual stiff
conventionality of most educational conferences.
The program was published in full in
tho last issue of Normal Times. I t is
not reprinted hero, therefore. I t is
necessary only to note a single change
in the scheduled routine; due to the un(Contimioil on page 4)

The best chapel t.alk of the year, according to the po]rtilar opinion .about the
dormitory, was the talk by Dr. W. D.
Henderson, of the University of Michigan, on "The Art of Studj'ing," given in
cliajiel on Thursday, November 15.
He said, in jiart:
"Perhaps fifty per cent of the time
spent in studying, actual studying, is
wasted, due to ineffective study habits.
No two persons study exactly alike, so
that it is ditlieult to train effectively in
the habits of study. The method that I
myself have found to be the most useful is t h i s : First, read the whole thing
to be studied over hastily, just to got an
idea what it is all about; second, read it
over again carefully, seeing how each
part fits into the whole; third, close the
book aud do something, anything else
for a while, to take your mind from the
thing; then go back fo i t and see how
much you reallj' have remembered. If
you come to a part that you really do not
know, o]icn the book, take a peep, as
short a peep as will bring it back to
you, and make sure this time that you
do know it. Never be afraid to take a
peep—except in examinations."
He illustrated his idea of studying by
going over this ]ioeni, which he read to
the audience three times. He then challenged them to repeat it, which they did,
with more or less success. The poem, as
the reporter recalls it, follows:
I care not for my neighbor's birth.
Or how he makes his prayer;
I'll grant him a white man's place on
earth
I'roxided his game is square.
If he plays it straight, I'll call him
mate.
If he cheats, I'll throw him flat.
Other rank than this is a worthless lie;
For all clean men are as good as T,
And a king is nought but th.at.
Few sjieakers have been so heartil.y
aiiplauded. The students are indebted to
Mr. Ulmer for the opiiortunity of hearing this splendid speaker. Dr. Henderson
was one of the instructors a t the Clinton County Institute, held here in Loek
Haven. Mr. Ulmer had heard him previously, felt that he eould not be permitted to leave Lock Haven without having talked to the school, aud persuaded
him to give us a taste of his personality
and power.
You nia.y locate Esther Agnew's desk
without difficulty at any time. The one
up front in the day room, covered with
books and trash, belongs to her.

Scores of eighteen year okis deducted

knee length dresses, gingham aprons,
and the like, went over to the gym to

regarded as an annual feature of C S.

Now for basketball. The football season has ended. The school has sounded
the well earned praises of the boys who
have started the game of football here
again. The way in which they went into
the games of this season, forgetful of
injuries that might have made them
ready to quit, had there been any quit
in them, has earned them the sincere
admiration of the school. But—now for
basketball!
I n the cage game this school's recent
record has been real. Tho team that
represents us this year has the incentive
of a string of successful seasons behind
it. To measure up to other wearers of
the Maroon and Grey they will have to
go some. Here's hoping they may do
it. There is basketball material in the
east dorm, and Dick Seltzer may be
trusted to bring it out. We will have a
good team to get back of; we have the
siiirit to iiut back of them; and the
student, boy or girl, who stays away
from the games, or who goes but doesn't
root for her team, will be conspicuously
unpopular.
Two more, three more, pep meetings
before the season breaks, cheer leaders!

A Medical Demonstration
I t is partially the purpose of the authorities of the Normal School, iu arranging the careful iirogram of medical
inspection that is followed here, and in
assuming all the expense that goes along
with it, to let each student know of his
exact physical condition, and to inform
the school also of conditions that may
exist unsuspected, so that proper attentiou niay be given to safeguarding the
health of each student who attends here.
It is also the purpose of tho principal,
however, to have our students see how
medical inspection should bo conducted
in the public schools if it is to be of real
value. In other words, medical inspection here is intended to be a practical
series of demonstration lessons. To insure the efficiency, the physical efficiency, of his sehool, it would be wise for
every student to acquaint himself with
the Iioints covered in the examination,
the amount of time that it is necessary
to give to each pupil to have satisfactory
results, and the system of following up
the reports to get the maximum improvement out of the work. There are no set
lessons in this work, and no final examination, but it is a definitely valuable
part of each students' teaching knowl

Noted Lecturer Gives
Ne-tv Views of Cliina

Normal students, faculty members,
and a number of the people of Lock
Haven spent Sunday afternoon, November 11, on a trip through China with Dr.
Frederic Poole, the noted authority on
Chinese affairs.
Dressed i n Chinese costume. Dr. Poole
gave a very interesting lecture on the
ways and customs of the Chinese, and
conducted his audience through much of
that vast country by means of many
lantern slides taken on liis travels.
According to the lecture, there is no
student anywhere so keen and intelligent as the Asiatic. Chinese students
have come to America, studied the latest
ideas here, and on their r e t u r n have
revolutionized their country in every
way. For three hundred years China
has submitted to foreign power; now it
has formed a republic, with a government patterned after that of the United
States. Changes in costume and in education have taken place rapidly, the
spirit of cliange even going so far as
to cause English textbooks to be adopted in Chinese schools.
In China there are two distinct groups
of dialect, the northern and the southern, which are very different from each
other. The words in either are pictures,
and may have five or more meanings,
expressed by var.ving the tone of the
voice.
In the capital city, Pekin, have been
constructed beautiful boulevards and
buildings. 78,000 miles of railroad have
been built within a very few years. A
standing a r m y of a half million is maintained, rapidly approaching the efficienc.v and equipment of that of European
nations
Dr. Poole believes in the future of
China, and believes earnestly that the
Fnited States should stay the friend of
that young republic. In great part, he
sa.vs, the awakening and progress of that
cniiiiti'.v has been due to our encouragement, and fo work iu all parts of the
countr.v of Ainerican missionaries. In
the near future, so carefully are the
Chinese cop.ving the ways of this country, in whose friendship they trust, that
the United States will be able to look
into China as into a mirror, seeing our
own reflection.

Science Class Plants Bulbs
Bulb-planting was the feature of Mr,
ITlmer's science classes last Wednesday
afternoon. The class, taken over to Mr.
Ulmer's garden, lined up, and to each
was given a flowerpot. Invited to take
hyacinth bulbs to be planted, the class
lost itself in argument over the seleetion of colors. Mr. Ulmer settled matters out of hand by marching the class
past the sacks, and having each third
person take from the same sack. Blue,
white, and pink flowers were thus equally and equitably distributed.

After the bulbs had been potted seperately, bulbs and pots were buried in a
ditch dug for the purpose by the boys.

Jo nearly stood on her head in tho process. After a consolation prize petting
party, k i t t y seemed soothed, so they put
him out, and retired for the night.
A pair of liours elapse; then—"Jo! Jo,

in bed, looking like a negro seeing the
Ku Klux Klan. Then the thing moved,
seini-circularl.y, in the nice, warm blankets, and a throaty m e o w came fortli.
Kitty was back.
It is hard to stay warm hearted under
those circumstances. Buth picked kitty
up and threw him from the window.
You can't discourage a cat like t h a t ;

he came to the window ledge, and for
the rest of the night complained a t intervals of the treatment he had received.
Ma,ybe he had some notion that he was

doing so deliberatel,y. At any rate he
succeeded, until Jo finally arose in her
wrath in the wee small hours, and
pushed him from the ledge, slamming
the window after him.

Orchestra Possible
The organization of a bo.vs' orchestra
has been undertaken by Miss Whitwell.
So far six of the boys have joined in.
Elbridge AVoodward is playing the cornet; Lciii Snieltzer, the violin; Paul
\'onada, the trombone; Christian Feit,
the banjo; Jack Follmer, the traps, and
B.vron Blackford, the piano. An orchesfiii iiiipeming ncciisioiiall.v in chapel, the
