BOOKS OLD
AND NEW IN
SHORT REVIEW
"The Harvester" is one of the most
hiimiiii iind interesting of Gene Stratton
Porter's books. It is alive with the ap]ireciiitiou of nature, and includes a
charming romance. Ruth Jameson, driven b.v poverty, marries the Harvester,
David Liingston, for whom she has no
affection, with the agreement that if,
after one year, she comes to love him,
she will live with him. They go to his
home, a farm of mediciuiil herbs, in the
heart of a dense forest; ii medley of
characters, good and biid, come into the
story; and, at the end of the year, she
is returning in full the Harvester's love
for her.
" well worth reading by anyone who likes
a good, clean, wholesome western stor,y.
It is written of the time when the Indians were far from friendly to the
white m e n ; there is plenty of gunfire
iind iiction; the heroine has a facult.v
for getting into situations from which
she must be rescued; a t the end of the
story he marries her, to keep her out
of further trouble, we suppose. That's
t h a t ; it isn't deep stuff, but it is good
entertainment.
"The Last of the Mohicans," by James
Fenimore Cooper, suffers the penalt.v
of fame; few people read it, because
they dread the thin entertainment of
the sort of stories highbrows praise. It
is a story of the warfare in Northern
New York during the struggles of
France aud Enghind for the possession
of the New World. Major Duncan, of
the (iOth, and the two daughters of
Colonel Munro, traveling to meet their
father, iire lead into the heart of the
country of the treacherous Mingo Indians by the vilhiinous Magna. Niitty
Bumpo, the first aud best of nil the
scouts iu fiction, whose adventures run
through the Leatherstockiug Tales, of
which this story is one, and his friends,
Chingiichgook and Uncas, of the friendly Deliiwares, pilot the three English
folk to their destination. Their niiiny
escapes from the dreaded Mingoes, the
horrors of Indian wiirfare, the resourcefulness of Ilawkeye and his Indian allies, give a fresh thrill in every chapter.

TIMES
C. S. N. S.

Dear Mabel:
I am sending you a copy of Normal Times, which comes out
every two weeks. By the way, 1 wi'ite to you iibout every two
weeks, don't 1? My dear Mabel, I wonder whether it is a wise
step for me to send you Normal Times; iifter you get that, what
will there be for me to say to you? I was going to tell you
that Sib Breth is sick—it is in the jiaper. Then there is that
debate your old friend Guy Luck was interested in—that's in
the paper. I might have told you about the hist snowstorm aud
the fun we had out of it—but I know at least two junior girls
who wrote that up for Mr. Trembiith's composition class, aud
that means thiit it will be in the paper too. Mabel, old dear, I
am ill desiiair; if 1 send you the piiper, there will be no news
for me to write .vou—Normal Times gets it all. What would
yon do iu a case like that?
Hopelessly,
BETTY.
Get her to subscribe, Betty, and let it go at that.

US A N D O T H E R S
Blanchard Gummo, 1921, iind at present a student iit Y'ale, Wiis ii Siiturdaj'
night visitor here recently.
Blanche Smart, confined to her home
for some time since Christmas by illness, has returned. Her name indicates
her hereditary triiits so well that it will
not be so hard for her as for most of
us to niiike up the work she liiis missed.
Mariiin Wilson, iibsent for a few dii.vs
for the same reason, had such ii longing
to see the rest of the da,y room gang
tluit her recovery' wiis rapid.
Oliver Fore iind Lawrence Miller of
Kersey spent Sunday, the seventh, here.
Don't you rcall.v know why?
Hilda Lciithers absented herself recently long enough to niiike ii business
tri]) to Bellefonte. FuU of business all
the time, that Hilda.
Ijcila Anderson iind Sylvia Breth, both
of Clearfield, hiive been home ill since
the holidays. Post-Christmas colds, perhaps, iifterniiiths of too much skating
and dancing.
Betty Gates has deserted the dayroom
gang, and taken up her abode iu the
dormitory.
Anne Kennedy is iicting iis .sub-scrub
faculty nieinlier in Sylviii Broth's place.
This accounts for the dignified way in
which, you may have noticed, Auiie has
been carrying her head lately.
Estella McClintock, the jiride uf Mill
Hall, has been conviilescing so rapidly
from her recent siege of pueumonia that
she was able to visit us on Tuesday, the
ninth.
lone Giirbrick has been confined to
her home during and since the holidays
by an attack of tonsilitis. If she had
only managed to start her illness iifter
the holidays had ended, it might have
caused her less annoyance.
Oret Williams was held up for a few
da.vs in the same way. The popularity
of that aflliction earns it few friends.
Mary Brosius, ii Jersey Shore High
School student, visited her sister, Kathryn, .lanuiiry eighth. The dii.v room girls
ardently wish her to come often; she
can keep Kathryn cpiiet.

OFTTIMES A
NAME SOUNDS
NOT THE SAME
Leila And 'er son, Howiird, usnally
spend their Summers in Sommerville.
With them tlie,y take Wil's sons, Burt,
Russell and Fritz Zimmerman.
One diiy the boys went on a trip. They
had to Howe across il river. When they
ciima to the place where Yiile wiis located Howard s.aid, "Landis here."
After landing they found they hiid to
Walk. They were all very tired when
they came to a Net White house. They
Furst oiieucd the Gates and went into
the yard where they saw the Giirduer
cultivating the sv\'eet Williams by ]K)uring Aslie(s) iit their roots. He yelled,
"Sta(i)man!" "Shaw," they .said and
piissed right on.
"What il queer place!" said Burt, as
they went up on the porch iind opened
the front Doerr. They saw before them
a long hall. In the distance they lie.ard
il bell ringing. They, thinking they
would like to explore, walked down the
hall and opened the Doerr at the end.
Bea hold! They saw before them n
curious sight. A Cook, whose spectacles
made her look Wise, stood in the small
kitchen with a bell in her hand. Liddle
Fritzie said, with a Dutch accent, "Iss

in a lusty voice, "When Gabriel toots
his Horn, Tra, la, la, la," as she went
to the Mantle and placed the bell on it.
They would like to have Custer.
She then leisurely began to make Coffey. Next she took the Ryan from ji
piece of ham which looked as tough as
Lciither. As she seemed to ignore the
visitors, who were not at iill abashed,
tlie.y looked for something else more interesting.
In il dark corner they noticed a niiin
with a sprig of Holly in his buttonhole,
who seemed to hiive very low Morall(s)
as he Wiis shooting Dice. Beside him
was il big, Skinney, Cawle.v dog, who
had il card around his neck on which
was written, "Marcy, property of Gret
Williams." He, too, ignored the boys.
It seemed useless to reniiiiii here so
the boys retniced their steps through
the hall and Wiilked ujistairs. At the
toj) they saw ii not her Doerr which they
ojieneil. It opened into ii High, Brown
room whieh had nothing in it but a
Wardrope. Was it Watson who opened
it's door? I have forgotten. But iiny
Howe, inside they found a Skelton. They
became so frightened that they lost
their Breth. Rushing down the stairs,
they ran out the Doerr, through the
Giirden and the Gates, sciired Green,
until they got home.
"Oh, Lord! What Luck," cried their
iiiuHier as she clasped them to her bosom
while they told their strange story. Ghid

JANUARY 17, 192;J

The Melting Pot
Young Americans, here at an American school, with American people all
iiround you, did you ever stop to think
just how you haijpeiied to be here?
It's not like the story of "out of yesterdiiy came you here," b u t it's a much
more serious story of just what kind
of "stuff" are you really made.
n has been many years since the
first peojile lauded on this side of the
eontineut, but in those years just think
of the thousauds; .yes, millions of people
thiit have siirung up since thiit first
liinding. They have come here from
nuiiiy, many different lands; they have
spoken luiiny different languages, and
they have had many different ways and
customs; but when they have all been
put in "The Melting Pot," ou this side
of the ocean, tlie,y have come out Americiins.
Of course, like all clicniicals there is
a wiiste and some may be ini'ludcd in
that waste, but the niajorit.v is good
usiible "stuff," iind it is with this "stuff"
that wc have to deal.
You have your opinions iibout the way
things are going on this side and that,
and on this hand and the other hand—
well ciiuiigh, but don't tell everybiid.y—
it's not all opinions that we want. Be
satisfied that you are ii product of the
Melting I'ot, regardless of what went
into it, and do yiiiir share tu make yourself one hiindreil ]icr cent. Ainerican.
^'on have made a step forward Avlien
.you want to further your education.
Make good use of what you learn, take
iu all yon can get ami, if prolitabli',
jiass it on to some one less fortnnali'
than yourself.
Do all you can for .yourself anil fur
others, but think of "the others" first,
last, and always, and you'll be glad in
the end you've been through the "Melt
ing I'lit" and have turned out a t riic
blue American.

gymnasium of the Y. M. C. A. Triiining
School at Springfield, Massachusetts.
A demand had arisen for a gaiiie for
the gymiiiisiuni class which would break
the monotony of the long winter months,
fake the place held by baseball iu spring
and football in autumn, and not be too
rough to be played indoors. Naismith
rose to the occasion, creating the giime
iu almost identically its present form.
The idea of the game Wiis first published in the Triangle, the school piiper,
in 1891. It was 1902 before the gama
really began to spread beyond the wiiUs
of the scliool, but from thiit time on its
spread has been rapid. It has increased
from an insigniflcaut pastime to an intercollegiate aud almost an international game of importance I t has become
the most poiiular indoor giime of America, for women as well as for men, and
has spread to England and elsewhere.
At this time there is hardly a town, village, or school that is not supporting
enthusiiisticiilly at least one biisketbiill
team.

Vacations
Can anyone fully describe or measure
the joy with wdiicli we express the word,
vacation? Without even stopping to
think, we enjo.y the very physical effect
which the sound of it produces. To stop,
to leiive our daily routine for something new, something different, is liapliiness in itself. Aud then, there is that
mental relief so necessary in the life
uf a student. To let oneself turn from
the vociition to the avocation, sleep, laziness, or whatever it may be, for a few
days, just for the sake of variety, is
what the .youth most desires'. If it Wiisn't
for vacation, how stale we'd grow, and
how tired we would become of each other! What fun it is to come biick, eiicli
with a different story, and how glad
we are to listen. Oh, wouldn't it be terrible even to dream there were no vacations!

TIMES
NORMAL TI.MES has a want ad
outside her door. Ninety Juniors,
equipped with pencils and paper
ready for duty, are requested to apply at once. Applicants must show
some signs of intelligence, need not
be good looking, hut must be clean
cut. They must be sincere and willing to work two days a week, the
minimum time it takes to complete
their assignment, and any additional
time they desire to spend. NORMAL TIMES wants material for publication.

mighty scarce." Ain't it the t r u t h ?

PRESIDENT'S ELECTION
NOT TO BE CHANGED
(Continued from page 1)
and that the new President and the new
Congress should go in a t the same time,
so that the President should not, as is
now the case, be left without a Congress for nine months.
Miss Hoover summarized her own iind
Mr. Luck's positions by saying:
"The method of selecting the President and Vice President proposed by
the amendment would not be sufficiently dift'erent from the jiresent system to
make it of value, for the political bosses
would still be left in control of the selection of all candidates.
"The six year term proposed is so
long as to be undemocratic.
"Advancing the inaugural of the
President and the opening of Congress
to January would result in holding the
inaugural at an unfavorable time and
in over-hasty and injudicious legislation."
The shortness of the chiipel period
Ciiused the rebuttal arguments of Mr.
Hunter iiiiil Jlr. Luck to be postponed
to the chapel period on Thursday morning, when the debate was com))leted.

New Teaching Assignments
The student teachers who i-uinpose the
scrub faculty of the Junior High School
are being changed at this time ou account of the large number of seniors
who must teach this year. Some of the
teachers who iire teacliing now will drop
all of their subjects, while others will
be permitted to finish out this semester
ill one of their subjects. The change is
being iiiadi' grailnally so that the eifect
may not be tu n]isi't the work of any of
the training school grades.
The new facult.v is as follows:
]\fiitlieiiiatics—Gertrude lliir]ier, ibibel Horn, May Green, Genevieve Hicker,
and Catherine Cnojier.
llistorj-—Williiiin Skelton, Glenn Miller, Cliireiice Tlioiniisun, Nellie Johnson,
Gu,y Luck.
Science—Glenn Miller, AVarreii McCarty, and Nellie .Idhnsun.
I'eiiinanship—Genevieve Kicker, ilay
Green.
Mnsii—Cleta Wheeland.
Knglish—Grace Ishler, Evelyn Fritz,
Louise Kintner, Theodore Schreiber.
French—Bernice Lord.
Latin—Mabel Horn, Wilma Ingulsb.v.
I'liysical Training—Mabel Horn, William Skelton.
These seniors began observation on
.laiinary 10, pre]iiiriitury fo teaching on
Jauuiiry l.'i. Tlicy will continiie teaching for iit least nine weeks, many of
them longer.

Chapel Attendance
Jliss Yale—says she will iilways be

Edith IMorrall—i-an't remeinber the
number of her seat.
The Boys—cut because it makes them
blush to walk past the girls to the front
seats.

rack provided fur her coat and hat—she
never gets there early enough to leave
them where tlie.y belong.
Jlr. Tremliiitli—takes this opportunity
tu gather material for the joke department of the Normal Times.
Mr. All—Nothing could go on or out

If niiiny more society, sorority, organization, or frat pins iirrive in the
West Dorm, some uf fhe girls will have

their dress frunts. Two or three of
them look like ilexicaii generals.

WHEN WE WERE A
"PASSEL" OF KIDS
When you look out of the window,
these afternoons, at the bare trees and
the snow, do you ever think of the time
when you were alioiit seven years old?
Oh, take me back to my tom-bo.y days
when all of the year seemed like summer, and when in my bare feet I'd start
out across the field to go swimming,
fishing or picnicking. If I didn't have
my brother or sister or playmate I'd
take my dog along and he would rub
his cold little nose on my liare legs
when I stepped ou a bee in the clover
patch.
Do you remember the afternoon that
you and your side kicks had the show
down in the old barir? "Admission, six
safety pins, one good sized cooky, seven
nails, or ii jiiece of gingerbread." It
Wiis (|uite a problem to drag all those
old comforts out of the attic, without
mother seeing you; but a stage curtain
Avas an essential part of the show. Old
barrels, soap boxes, wooden buckets, the
old broken churn,—all uiaile excellent
seats.
When the iifternooii arrived, such excitement in the neighborhood, my,
everyone was afraid of being late.
When you think uf all these old familiar jdaces, the hapiiy carefree iur of it
all, doesn't it make you feel funny inside.' Well, let's iiiiss by the regrets
and imagine ourselves young together
again.
As AVO look back over the audience
Ave see little Skinney Avitli her long red
hair hiinging in beautiful shiny curls,
and sure enough she has on a little blue
apron, and as she sits there on top of
that old barrel swinging her bare feet
she looks as happy as possible, but Avhy
not,—isn't she eating a big piece of bread
and butter and apjile sauce? Beside her,
yes, on the barrel, too, is little Buthie
Langsford iu rompers. She's regarding
her friends quietly, but now Ave know
thiit she must have been thinking a lot.
In the front ruw un the old churn
are Katherine anil Marcy. Katherine
has been crying 'cause her mother made
lii'r wear her shoes and stiickiiigs. And
sure emiiigli, there are the red headed
('iipiK'isniith sisters iiccupying the old
soap bux.
Ah! the sliiiw begins.
".\ Scene iu Africa" says the stage

Magazine Articles of Interest

In the library there is quite a novel
collection of books listed to be read by
persons betAveen the ages of twenty and
forty-five. They have been selected by
il committee of ninet.v-six educated men
and women, all of whose names Ciin be
found in "Who's Who in America."
There are one hundred books in the list
and they are arranged iu the order of
their popularity with the members of
the committee. Here is the list of the
first ten Avitli the names of their authors:

The boys' biisketbiill teiim defeated'
tannery team of the Community League
for the fourth time this season in a
practice game played in the Normal
Gym on January 4. This was the first
practice for the boys since (Christmas,
but they showed the samo old speed
by doubling the score on their opponents, tho final result being 40-20.
Coach Dick Seltzer is very ciirefully
avoiding anything that might lead to
early-season overconfidence. He is far
from convinced that each man on t h e
team has as yet begun to play his best
game; but it is easy to see t h a t ho is
reasonably iileased with the spirit Avith
Avliich the boys are working, and thiit
he will be disiigreeably surprised if this
season's record does not turn out to be
a highly creditable one.
The amount of practice that the team
has been able to get from the various
teams that compose the Community
League has been exceedingly helpful.
Pla,y has been faster and more siiirited,
and the opposition encountered far stiffer tliiin if the tciim hiid had to depend
on going u]i against any possible Norniiil second team. No Normal team has
had lietter or more solid, valiiiible practice than this one.
At the time this article is written,
Ivenovo High School, our first opponent,
has not been met; but we opine thus
early that they will have no cause for
rejoicing. If Normal does not put a
stoji to their unliroken string of seven
victories this sei(son, Coach Seltzer aud
the folloAvers of the team will be somewhat disappointed. That is how confident the school feels that the bo,ys who
Avill Avear fhe Maroiin and Grey this year
