summer session is a return engagement
of the Frank McEntec Shakespeare
Players, who last summer presented
Barrie's "The Admirable Crichtou" on
tlu' c:impus. For this year the players
have been requested by Mr. Drum to
give, very likely on the campus also,
Eugene O'Neill's prize play of 1921,
"Beyond the Horizon."

CENTRAL STATE'S
CHRISTMAS PRESENT
From the City of Lock Haven is
Greatest Forward Step in the
History of the School
On Tuesda.v nioriiiiig, December 12, all
those seniors wlio were crowded out
of the training school tliis term began
practice teaching in the city schools
of Loek Haven. The authorities of the
public schools and of the normal school
have reached an agreement that is
epoch-making. Under the direction of
the best teachers in tlie elementary
schools of the city, normal school seniors
will receive training in actual classroom work. No normal scliool in tlie
state of Pennsylvania, it is firmly believed, can now offer the amount of
genuine pr.-ictice in teaching under conditions even nearl.v as pleasant as can
old Central State. There is no limit now
to the growth of tlie scliool. On December
11 this agreement, signed b.y Principal
Drum and by Superintendent Benson,
was presented to and accepted by the
l^ock Haven Board of Education. The
next day normal school seniors entered
the elementary scliool rooms of Lock
Haven. Both the city and the school
will soon begin to realize those benefits
which each can obtain from this new
n'l.'itionship.
It would be difficult to exaggerate the
.joy of those friends of the normal school
who have had some inkling of the situation in which the school has been placed
up to this minute. Coming out of the
doldrums of the war, its enrollment
sunk past the danger-point. Central
State has begun a vigorous recovery. In
two years the summer session had increased from 250 to more than 600, with
the thousand mark in .siglit for the coming sumiiier. liw the same two years the

A CAPITOL TIME
AT HARRISBURG
Twenty-five Students Visit the State
Capitol—Witness Football Game
Something unusual occurred December 9; something very unusual; something extremely unusual. Twenty-five
students were allowed to go to see a
football game, and at Harri.sburg, at
that.
They didn't even ask to go. Mr. Drum
suggested that as many as possible take
advantage of the excursion to Harrisburg, carrying the Lock Havenites who
were going down to see the game between Harrisburg Tech and Lock Haven
High. As man.y as were not financially
embarrassed jumped at the chance, and.
as a result, had the most wonderful time
imaginable.
With Mrs. Cresswell and Miss Loekhart as chaps, the excited children took
the train for the capitol. On the train
everyone tried to remember the uiiotficial normal motto, "Make yourself seen
but not heard—it is good advertisement,"
bnt—well, you know children.

iENTRAL State Normal School
I now guarantees to every senior
student what no other Pennsylvania state normal school,
so far as can be discovered, is in
position to offer: two full hours of
practice teaching daily in a regular
city classroom with a full class, under the same conditions that she will
have to meet in her later teaching,
but under the immediate and constant supervision of a competent
training teacher. This is FOUR
TIMES the actual full class teaching
obtainable in some of the state normals, and every hour of it is done at
home, in Lock Haven, without the
annoyances of daily travel or of
hoarding away from the life ot the
school. For this Christmas present,
this evidence of your good will, we
thank you. Lock Haven.

The Pied Piper Up-to-Date
Some time in the stilly n i g h t sounds
of music began coming from tlie center
of the corridor on tlie t h i r d floor—the
thrumming of a ukelele i n t h e hands of
a little person in a vari-colored costume.
From all the doors popped heads of all
descriptions, attracted by t h e Jiauntiug
sounds.
So tantalizing were the melodies that
a couple started to dance. Soon came
••mother, and another, and another, a
crowd, a host; from the second floor:
from the first; all following the sound
of the music. Up and down the halls
they gaily danced, faster and faster as
the strains of the uke grew wilder and
wilder.
Breathlessly^ the dancers stepjied and
whirled, their Grecian garments flying
round t h e m ; they eould n o t stop; while
tliose who were kept from t h e dance by
the limitations of space merrily beat
time y\H\i liands and slippered feet. All
of third floor, all of second was in the
halls; all of first floor on the stops or
in l/ie doorways.
jTi, ten-thirty the city burghers reeo
lected their duty. The ukelele's voice
was stilled. The dancers fled to their
respective floors and rooms, as the Pied
Piper of Third Floor picked up her
chair and silently stole awav.

entering class had increased from less
than 50 to 120, with apparent assurance
of another fifty p e r cent increase in
1923. The training school's numerical
limitations had threatened to gompel
the school to refuse admission to more
than half of the 1923 applications; to
give up all its brilliant prospects of
further growth, because it could not
lionestly take care, in practice teaching,
pf its present e n r o l l m e n t ; and i t was
more than hinted t h a t without a continued healthy growth the school would
be closed. That fear should now vanish;
Lock Haven has removed its cause. Central State can now open its doors to all
wlio apply.
More t h a n that, it seems jiossilile to
say that Central State can now offer its
seniors b e t t e r and more practice-teaching t r a i n i n g than any other luirin.il
school in t h e state. It is known that in
some of t h e schools fonr seniors are
compelled to teach in the same classroom simult.Miieously; that in others
seniors a r e forced to go into neighboring towns to board in order to practice
teaching; tliat in others seniors had to
take daily trips to somewhat distant
towns or cities to reach the schools in
which they t a u g h t ; that in yet others
the teachers have b u t one school iieriod
of actual teaching per day, the rest of
their prescribed time being spent in the
not valueless, b u t far less valuable,
practice of coaching single pupils, of
observ.ation of teaching, of marking paper.s jiroduced by classes which they had
not handled. No Pennsylvania state
normal school, so far as we can ascertain, is in position to offer what Central
State now guarantees to every student
teacher enrolled: two full hours daily
throughout one whole semester of teaching a full class in a regular classroom
situated right in the cit.v in which the
normal school is located, under t h e immediate iind constant supervision of a
<-oiniieteiit tr.aiiiiiig teacher, and in
jiddition ;is much observation of skillful
teaching, individual coaching, etc., as
she can jirofitabl.v carry. This is four
times the actual jiraetice in teaching obtainable in several of tlie state normals,
and every hour of i t is done at home,
in Lock Haven, without the annoyance
of dail.v travel, and without the loss of
any of the enjoyable life of the school.
Working together, meeting the inevitable difficulties t h a t arose in t h e attempt to frame an agreement that would
safeguard the fundamental interests of
both systems, b u t with an evident desire to s t a y together, the city school

this agreement, t h e antagonism which

negligible irritation or a myth. The

The normal school expects to profit
materially by the new agreement; it
cannot help but do so. It is equally certain that the city schools of Loek Haven
a r e to benefit also, through the relief
extended to many over-busy teachers,
through t h e added care in planning
work which tliis time relief makes possible both for the practice teacher and
for the regular teacher, through the increased focusing of attention on modern methods which becomes a daily
necessity, through the financial benefit—
$100 a year—which the teacher will receive, and in other ways unnecessary
to enumerate.
The plan which was ratified at the
meeting is materially as follows;
1. The Central State Normal School
shall be permitted to use the first six
grades iu the elementary schools of the
city to provide practice teaching facilities for seniors of the normal school.
2. Not more than 22 seniors shall be
given such facilities during the coming
year.
3. The Board of Education will furnish all rooms with light, water, heat.

aud the usual school supplies, including
textbooks.
4. Each student teacher shall teach
approximately two hours per day, and
not more than one student teacher shall
be assigned to supervision by the regularly employed teacher at any one time.
5. The regularly employed teacher
will become the training teacher, and
will supervise the work of the student
teacher after the manner used in the
normal training school.
(i. The supervisory relations of the
city superintendent and his staff shall
ill no wise be changed. When the regularly employed te,acher becomes a training teacher i t is mutuallj'' understood
that she thereby accepts a. reasonable
supervision of the normal school supervisory staff of the training given to the
student teachers.
7. Student teachers with classes in
music, art, or physical training shall be

In December's Magazines
Do you believe that too many American young men are going to college?
The president of Dartmouth College says
so. Read the brief discussion in the
.lournal of National Education for December. Ill the same magazine is a
discussion by Katherine D. Blake on
The Revising of the Elementary Curriculum. I t includes "History for Progress," "English for Tomorrow," "Common-sense
Arithmetic,"
and
"Live
(ieography."
In Good Housekeeping for this month
is an article on "Child L.abor Must Be
Stopped," by Raymond Fuller. Read i t ;
it throws a new light on a problem
with which ever.v teacher will come in
contact.
Seniors, especially those on the scrub
faculty, may find something usable in
the Normal Instructor on "Live Lesson
I'lans in Arithmetic."
"Are Men More Intelligent Than Women?" Be sure to read it, girls; it is in
the liist American Magazine.
Current History contains two live articles on current events: "Why the
British Parliament Pell," by Wilmott
Lewis; and "Italj-'s Bloodless Revolution," showing how 100,000 armed Fasciti overthrew the weak Italian government.
"Women have humor," says Elizabeth
Stanle.y Trotter, in an article entitled
"Humor With :i Gender," in the Atlantic Monthly. (Always suspected there
was something funny about them; guess
I'll have to read this).
The article on "Children Who Never
Grow Up," by Alexander Johnson, in
The Survey, is a record of Mr. Johnson's
experiences among the feeble-minded,
entertainingly and informatively written.
Among the short stories, "Retreat," by
W. Joyce, in Harper's Monthly, and
"The Party of the First Part," by Philip
Curtiss, in Scribners, are especially attr.active to our reviewer. The first, girls,
might be re-entitled, "How to Hold Him
When You've Got Him," and the second
presents a man who thought that he
would be liappier without his wife—but
if more were told there would be no
need to road the story.
This is a brief sample of what may
be found in the magazines in the library. Do you read them? If not, why
not?
"Missions in China" was the topic of
the Y. W. C. A. meeting Wednesday
night, December 6. Helen Nace, who
lead the meeting, described social and
industrial conditions in China; Anna
Mae Landis gave the history of the Y. W.
in China; and Euth Summersgill read
"China at the Cross Roads." The attendance was unusually large; why not make
that usual?
The Play Production class, under t h e
.supervision of Miss Gabriel, will give a
Christmas play on December 19 entitled,
"Why the Chimes Rang."

We Start Them Young at C. S. N. S.
The first grade children from the
training school took over the chapel
exercises on Friday, November 24. Each
child wlio wishes to do so mounted the
platform and gave a Mother Goose
rhyme. There was no set program, the
performers volunteering, and giving
whatever rhyme they wished. The variety of bows and courtesies which were
given before and after each rhyme drew
chuckles from so many thoughtless students that only nine performers volunteered. Normal students ought not require reminders that they should refrain, particularly when the lower grades
of the training school are appearing,
from any act which might tend to increase the self-consciousness of training
school pupils. I t is difldcult enough a t
best to p u t on the auditorium platform
normal observations of classroom activities—which are not theatrical performances, and cannot be so regarded by
the observers.

Hunting Season
'This is the hunting season of the year.
Everj-one seems to be hunting or catching something. We should like to be
able while the season is yet season.alile
to give some helpful advice to would-be
hunters.
We know nothing of the hunting of
deer. We know one, but she uses revised spelling; licsides, the season is
closed on licr from .l.anuar.v 1 to December .'.I, and she has some gaine-warden.
We can't tell much of the hunting of
bears, although w^e know one of tlieni
toil. She's a woolly bear, but wc have
had no practice in hunting b e r ; she has
been hunting us, instead.
Our hunting experience has been
limited to small game: bunnies, chickens, and colds. Bunnies are exceedingly
timid small game, with mooii-e3'cs and
nervous twitches; there is no real sport
in hunting them, for there is not much
to one when you catch it. We have been
disappointed too frequently in our
search for chickens to feel that our advice can be of much value; most of the
chickens that have cornered us have
turned out to be eggs. For the purposes
of this article we shall limit ourselves
to colds.
It is not blowing too much to say
that we can speak with authority on
colds and how they ma.v be caught. We
fool tluat we have caught them more
fre(|ueiitl,v, under more widely diverse
circunistaiices, and with, ma.y we say, a
more subtle hunting technique, than any
other known living hunter of this breezy
game. We have, indeed, reached a point
ill the mastery of the a r t of the chase
whereat we can catch them, invariably
and solely, no matter what i t may be we
start out to catch.
It ma.v seem to the unthinking tli.at
it is a simple matter to catch a cold. So
it is, if you are a niarket-hunter priniiirily; b u t if you wish to make the pursuit yield to you t h e last ounce of that
intense satisfaction that only the hunter knows—ah, then you require technique, adroitness, s.avoir faire. Drawing
on our store of hunting experiences, we
have chosen one method to set forth
here, not too difficult for the beginner,
.yet sufficiently open to developments to
interest the professional hunter to whom
it may be new.
Some balmy winter evening, when the
liroper conditions a r e noted—it is difficult to specify all t h e controlling conditions, b u t a layer of snow on the
ground, a full moon, and a contented
feeling are three—go out into the night,
taking the rest of the conditions with
.you. Stand around in the snow with the
other conditions until it becomes slushy
—the snow—enough to penetrate any
leather or boot that has not been waterproofed. When you feel that the first
two conditions have thoroughl.v soaked
into you and the conditions you took
out with you, take them back in again—
the other conditions—pull out two chairs
or one for yourself and the conditions,
and remain seated for an hour or two, or
until .your feet have become thoroughly
d r y ; then send the conditions home, and
go to bed in full confidence that you

have caught the cold you started out to
catch. There is nothing like a combination of wet feet and a motivated waiting spell to land it. As for the rest of
the conditions—well, that is the techni(|iie we were speaking about.

Girls, Watch Your Hats!
On Saturday, November 4, while Marie
Jforaii was in one of our down town inilliner.v stores stud.ving the new st.vles,
the following scenes occurred:
Scene 1. Marie entering t h e store,
takes off her hat, puts i t on the counter,
and walks to the mirror to tr.v t h e latest
st.vles. Enter Grace Russell and Christine Holly.
Scene 2. Enter a dignified, elderly
lad.v, .accompanied b.y her husband. Having spent hours in trying to find a hat
that will be suitable and which will at
the same time bring out the lady's eloquent beauty, they have at last reached
this store.
Scene 3. Same room; beautiful new
hats on walls .and on counters. Clerk
showing the supply to the best advantage. The lady and gentleman decide
upon a small, black turban-like velvet.
Scene 4. Giggles among t h e girls.
Marie decides to wait until a later date
to make her purchase. She walks to the
front of the store; greets her friends;
girls giggle hysterically.
Scene 5. Lady—Yes, I do like this
hat. How much is it? If it is at all
reasonable I think I'll take it. I t really
is a beautiful hat."
Clerk (looking for t h e price)—"Why,
this hat—er—awhere did you get this
hat?"
Lady—"Right liere on tho counter."
Clerk—"Well, I don't
"
Girls laugh frantically and, after hurried explanations, r e t u r n to Normal.
Marie now looks at her little h a t from a
different angle.

Elk County Alumni Banquet

Upon reaching the city the group divided, one group going to the football
game, the other going on a t r i p of exploration around the citj'. I t is unnecessary to decide which group had the
more educative experience. Both groups
seemed entirely satisfied in mind, but
not in appetite, when they reached the

Mr. Drum Finishes Series of Chapel Talks
"How to Study" was the topic of the
last of a five-minute series of talks
given i n the chapel by Mr. Drum, Monday, November 27. The purpose of his
talk was to show how important it is
for every Normal student to eliminate
waste of time as much as jjossible.
He advises more careful study during
vacant morning periods, since this is the
best t i m e of day for concentration. He
told us that the proper temperature for
study was between sixty-five and sixtyeight degrees. The desks should be arranged so that the light will come from
over t h e left shoulder and plenty of
fresh air is admitted.
Two i m p o r t a n t things he emphasized
a r e : (1) to review the previous lesson
before starting t h e new, (2) To mark the
important words, phrases and paragraphs in the new lesson, so tliat thejmtiy be more readil.v found for future
reference.

Keeping Us Up-to-Date

Musical America

Three members of Mr. Sullivan's
sociology class had charge of the exercises in chapel Tuesday, November 28.
Grace Ishler conducted the devotional
exercises, and introduced as speakers
Gertrude Harper and Frederick Hunter.
Miss Harper expressed the opinion
that, since the women of the United
States, have the right to vote, they
should become acquainted with and interested in world affairs, and should
make themselves familiar with tho general duties of the civil positions which
women ma,y be called upon to fill in the
near future. During her talk she paid
tribute to Mrs. W. H. Felton, the first
woman United States senator.
The Ship Subsidy Bill was the subject
of Mr. Hunter's talk. He gave tho facts
upon which the advocates of tlie bill
base their arguments, and then met them
in detail. He concluded liis talk with
these pointed questions; "Having already antagonized a great p a r t of the
public by vetoing the soldiers' bonus
bill and b.v passing the highest tariff act
in history, would it be wise for the Republican administration to antagonize the
public further by the passage of the
Ship Subsidy Bill? Would it not be
better to vote for measures designed to
do the most good for the most people in
the nation than to yield to sectional and
partisan prejudices ?"

On Sunday morning, November 26,
Charles Herbster, accompanied by Kydesky on the uke and Ted Schreiber on
the violin, serenaded Guy Luck for
more than an hour. Herbster raised his
voice in song, while Steve and Ted rendered several touching numbers, the last
of which was said to have been Home,
Sweet Home. Luck, wrapped in slumbers, missed the entire concert. Discouraged by the general lack of api^reciation,
the Catzyowl Trio returned to their
rooms.
Question; What would have happened
if Luck had waked up?
Answer: He would have died, my children, slowlj- and miserably.
Everyone who lives in the dormitory
feels the necessity upon her to let off
ste.am occasionally. We are but young,
you know, and it is difficult to impose
all the suggestions.

Why not have Mr. Sullivan coach a
football team at C. S. N. S.? He seems
to get results in coaching the heirs to
his throne and a few neighboring children in the street in front of his house.

If We Only Could
A truly beneficial lecture was the one
given by Mr. Trembath, of the English
Department, to the students during
chapel exercises on Wednesday, November 29.
Once more we learned that our jiower
of concentration should and can be developed. During the discussion Mr. Trembath gave devices which, if faithfully
exercised, he believes will show an increased ability to concentrate and thereby save time in preparing lessons.
Mr. Trembath's chatt.y remarks are always enjoyed by the student body as a
whole, so, lilease come again.
