BY INSTITUTE MEN
NMT" MAKES HIT
Dr. Corson, Dr, Lose, Dr. Slutz
and Mr. Lowe Make Up Corps
of Instructors.
Scottish Singers Please in Good
Dramatization of Burns' Famous Poem.
The Clinton County Teachers' Institnte
held its sessions in our iiuditorium the
week of Novemher 8-12. With the exception of Monday and Friday there
were three sessions d.aily. These were
filled with interesting aud valuable information, which was given in talks by
such capable instructors as Dr. Corson,
Dr. Lose, Dr. Slutz and Mr. Lowe.
Dr. Corson ,and Dr. Lose are no new
comers to Lock Haven, and so large numbers of the students jind the faculty
made use of the opportunity afforded
to hear each man give, in his own way,
the results of his many yenrs experience in the fleld of education.
One li.ad only to hear Dr. Slutz and
Mr. Ijowe once to make a vow that he
would not miss ii lecture by either niiin
the rest of the week.
Miss Whitwell had charge of the
music. Her flrst appearance before the
teachers broke the ice. After that when
it came time to sing every one forgot
themselves and "sang for all they were
worth."
iliss Merrills gave ii very fine talk on
the psycliology of memorizing, Monday
afternoon. Mr. Trembath, Mr. Gage, Mr.
High, Mr. Sulliviin, and Mr. ITlmer had
chiirge of conferences, so thiit everybody
benefited liy having the Institute at Norniiil ; the county teiichers as well as the
Normal instructors and students.
Dr. Corson made all his talks clear
by their very simplicity. He took one
idea and by illustrating it from every
angle, made his point so clear that no
one eould help liut beneflt.
Personality
"The Cotter's Saturdiiy Night" made
the last night of the institute a happy
one. The phiy is based on Robert
Burns' famous poem, and was ably acted by the Scottish Musiciil Comedy Company. It protrayed a typical scene in
the home of a poor Scotch fiirmer tibout
the time of 1700.
Tuesday morning Dr. Corson addressed
the members of the institute on the subject of personality. Personality, he said,
Ciinnot be defined but it is that thing
in a te.acher, or .any person that singles
him out as heing truly great. There
are many qualities that compose it, but
the real heart of personalit.y is a soul
with faith in the Supreme Being.
In the afternoon he developed the subject further by talking on how personality could be cultivated. Since personality is composed of niiiny factors, he
said, we must train each of these if we
are desirous of increasing this great
power. Those requiring cultivation are
self-respect, self-control, self-helpfulness
and self-forgetfulness.
The play opens with Miirgiiret Anderson, the cotter's wife, played by Edith
MacGregor, sitting in the homelj' little
kitchen knitting and singing "John Anderson, My J o . " John enters—Edward
.Vlclliigh—iind tells her of his day's work
behind the plow.

Third Grade Teachers Entertain
Miss Lesher
Miss Lesher was the guest of her student teiichers at a chicken dinner on
Wednesday evening, November 10. After a delicious dinner at Kosters, Miss
Lesher took her eight girls to her home,
where a very pleasiint evening was spent.
The party was a very nice way to close
the flrst nine weeks of work in the
training school and was planned by the
girls as a farewell to those who were
changed to the other grades for the
second nine weeks.
They are expecting their two eldest
children, who work out, and before long
they come.
Jeannie, the daughter,
played bv Margaret Alexander, and the
laird's son, Eobert Douglas, who has oon\eyed Jeannie homo and so receives an
invitation to supper, arrive first. They
sit down to porridge and cheese, iind
.famie, the cotter's son—John K. Daniels, Jr.—comes skipping in to supper,
iidding his tale of the day's doings.
l''iiiiill,y an old neighbor, Tammas C'utlihertsoii, otherwise William Wilson,
Climes to sit awhile. After supper is
over iind the table cleared, the men tell
stories and sing songs while the women knit and listen. Robert tries to
get Jeiinnie to himself, and flnally succeeds while the other folks are gone to
look at the "biiirns." He tells her of
his love, iind his words are received with
shy but favorable reactions.
During the evening niiiny Scotch songs
were aung—"Liuldie, Hurrah for the
Highlands," "Ye Banks and Braes,"
"Scotts Wh Hae," "Annie Laurie," "Bonnie Wee Tiling," "The Auld Iloose."
As it grows late .lohn, the father, tells
Jeannie to bring the old Bible, and
they sing "The Lord's My Shepherd."
When they have flnished the children return to their niiisters and mistresses,
Robert accomiiiinying Jeannie, b u t before they go their fiither gives them
some good advice about obeying their
masters. The scene closes with all singing "Auld Lang Sync."
The play is not a highly exciting one,
but a simple story of a happy evening
spent in the home with all the members loving each other, and it teaches
a lesson of wh.at ii home can be where
love and content are to be found.

Dramatic Club to Present
Three Plays
Very soon iifter Thiinksgiving vacation the Dramatic Club promises us an
entertaining evening. The members are

Albers' direction. Heretofore the plays
given by the club have been gre.at successes and without doubt these will measure up to the same high st The flrst one, a coined}', "M.y Lady's

New Teaching Assignments
Made for Group II
Faculty Visits the Sesqui
Truck Crashes Through Bridge
Lock Haven Normal School wiis represented by Miss Russell, Miss Berrills,
Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Ulmer, Mr. Sullivan
and Mr. High at the Teacher Training
Conference of the Stiite Normal Schools
of Pennsj'lvania, which was held in the
Pennsylvania building at the SesqiiiCentennial Exposition, Philadelphi.a, on
November 11, 12, 13.
The students iire not the only people
enjoying the use of bridges because of
our construction ditch. One-way traffic around the power house takes care
of cars triiveling on Susquehanna Avenue. Cars traveling to and from Girl's
Glen use a one-way bridge just opposite the front entrance to the triiining school.
Although this bridge is constructed
of heavy timber, one of the rear wheels
of the trucks used for hauling building
supplies went througii the floor Mondii3' niorning, November 8. Several of
the men working on the ditch and the
truck driver, after about a half hour's
time had the truck on its way iigain,
undamaged. The bridge was soon repiiired and the floor reinforced, so that
to date there have been no further accidents.
For some time the students have been
triiveling over temporar.v bridges—and
when there hasn't been too much mud
to distract their attention, they have
riither enjoyed the novelt.v. The bridge
between the girls' dorm iiud the day
room is the one most used by the students. I t is just wide enough for one,
but no rules are needed to take care of
extra traffic between classes. When necessarj', two can maiiiige to p.ass one .another ou this bridge without any damiige either to the bridge, the ditch, or
the students—iirovided that neither student weighs more than 135 pounds. The
liridge on the way to the Arbor takes
second place in frequency of use.
A conspicuous part of the progriini of
the conference was the "Little Journey"
at four o'clock e;ich day through the
Sesqui grounds. These were conducted
b.v the Subject Directors of the Department of Public Instructors. The ide.a
Wiis to flnd quickl.v the most interesting
things in the various flelds of the Exposition.
During their stay at the Exjiosition
the teachers saw the Stadium, which accommodates 100,000; the Auditorium,
where large musical events are held;
the Palace of Education, which has exhibits from elementarj' and high schools,
colleges, religious organizations, and so
forth; the Palace of Liberal Arts, which
has exhibits from Japan, Great Brittain,
Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Austria, India, Spain, Czecho-Slovakia, Cuba, Egypt,
Persia and China; the Transportation
building, which exhibits money, stamps,
locomotives (Tom Thumb and the latest
model).
Miss Russell reports that she was most
interested in the Japanese exhibition of
the silk milking process and the sugar
process from the Cuban exhibition.
Mr. Sullivan liked High Street best.
This is a replica of a typical street in
Philadelphia in 1770 with the house of

Science Department Conducts
Junior High Chapel
The Science Department of the Junior
High conducted a series of spectacular
experiments during the chapel jieriod on
Friday morning, October 20. The purpose of these experiments was to arouse
the interest of the Junior High School
pupils by showing them the type of work
that is being ciirried on in the science
classes. The progr.am was entirely in
the hands of those pupils who are studying science. An interesting feature of
the program was the class song (Ki-i-kiikas) sung by the science classes at the
close of the program.
TIMES
Twelve hardy Natuiiilist Club members braved the cold stinging atmosphere, and swallowed hard to keep down
their feiir of the diirk Thursdiiy morning, November 18. At 6 o'clock they
started and accompanied by Mr. Ulmer
and "Bud" made their way up the girls'
glen past the stone quarry and to the
to]) of the hill. There after watching
the da.yliglit come and the clouds go
swirling by overhead they started back
to school to get there just in time to
appease a hunger which seemed unbear
iible.

Fudge Party and Conference
Are Combined
The old nnd now Grade 2 teachers
took part in a very different kind of
conference on Nov. 11. Miss Phillips
had suggested a fudge party as a farewell to the girls who were going out,
and while the new girls were arranging
iissignnients with Miss Phillips the
old girls stirred up two kettles of fudge.
Alice Hesser and Viola Statler did the
mixing, Mary Margaret Adams ran the
errands, and lone Potter was oflieial
"beater."
Choral Club to Sing Cantata
"Ruth"
Three Normal School Faculty Members
in Cast—First Club Appearance This
Season—Miss Whitwell Directs
With Miss Whitwell directing. Professor Patterson iu one of the leiiding
roles, and Mrs. J. D. McCullough, forinerl.y our Miss Harriet Raffle, iinother
of the soloists, the Lock Haven Cominunitj' (^horal Club will make its flrst
aiipearance this season on Tuesday evening, presenting the ciintata, "Ruth," in
the Norniiil School Auditorium.
The Choral Club concerts, always well
worth heiiring, draw large audiences to
the auditorium. The student body is admitted without charge.
The music of "Ruth" is Alfred Gault's,
and is unusually beautiful. The local
members of the Choral Club have been
singing it ever since rehears.als opened,
so many of the movements h.ave so much
melody.
Professor A. D. Patterson will make
his first appearance with the Choral
Club. If there is any niember of the
student body who has not heard him,
that student should be ou deck Tuesday evening. Mr. Patterson is lucky
euough to possess a niiiguifleent voice,
and uses it beautifully. He has been in
steiidy demand in local churches and
clubs since joining our faculty; ou Tuesday evening no one will need to be told
why.
Mrs. McCullough is not making her
flrst appearance with the Choral Club;
jnst her flrst appearance since she ceased
Iieing Miss Harriet Raftte. I t will be
genuinely pleasant to hear her again in
our own auditorium.
Miss Whitwell has directed the club
for three years, and its excellent reputation is in no small part ascribed to
her hard work and knowledge of music.
Mrs. P. R. Kamp, who has helped Normal School organizations many times,
will be the accompanist.
Changes Made in Teaching Assignments of Group One
Great excitement and much consternation reigned among the girls of Group
One when the changes in teaching assignments for the second nine weeks
were posted. Few of the girls desired
a change, but when they consider the
value of a varied experience they may
feel more resigned to their fate. The
changes as posted follow:

Every Man Attends University
Dr. F . D. Slutz, iirinciiial of the Moraine P a r k School, Dayton, Ohio, in his
Wednesday evening lecture on "Everyman's University," stated his desire to
attack two fallacies of education. The
first is the common idea that education and training in the use of the tools
of education are identical. The second
is that education is confined to certain
periods in our lives.
We enter Everyman's University, he
said, when we are born, ;ind we leave it
when we die. We take j u s t four courses
in this university: Things, Other People, Ourselves, and God. A really cultured person in this university must
have native intelligence, und use i t ;
he must be useful; he must be agreeiilile; iind he must have spirituality.
In conclusioii. Dr. Slutz said that we
all inherit mental powers or capacities;
it is up to us to use the tools of education to get the niaximuni product of
those jiowers.

USEFUL INFORMATION
BY INSTITUTE MEN
(Continued from Page 1)
Dr. Corson emiihasized the fiict that
a teacher's success in managing her
school is due to the co-operation of the
majority of the boys iind girls. A teacher should appreciate the fact that her
pupils make her success liossible. Nor
should she hesitate to show appreciation
of work well done.
"That school is well discijilined in

How to Make Better Schools
"Leiiding in sentiment for good
schools is ill! iniportiint fiictor in the
teiicher's business," said Mr. Corson in
his talk, Thursdiiy at 3:20 P. M. First
of all money is needed, then the schools
should bo equipped and made liviible.
After that moral support of the teachers should be given.
A Duty and a Right
In his Thursday morning lecture, Dr.
Corson pointed out the importance of
working together in order to prevent
future disaster in America. He showed
how strife would inevitably come if we
would not work together in settling disputes such as those between capital iind
labor at present. We must learn to
guide our ship of state aright.
The first right is the right to live.
But along with the right to live goes
a duty to live aright. The dutj' to live
aright is of greater importance than
the right to live.
The second right is that of liberty.
Again, the right to liberty depends upon the strict performance of duty—the
duty to obey and enforce laws.
Dr.
Corson told the teachers to teach "reverence for law" in their schools.
The third right is the pursuit of hiippiness. Accumulation of weiilth is not
happiness, but men of means find hiippiness in giving something to humanity.
"The duty to give unselfish service is
greater than the right to pursue happiness."
Education and the Times
Dr. F. D. Slutz, princip.al of the Moraine Park School, Dayton, Ohio, g.ave
severiil very good talks on education
and its inodern trend.
"Get the fun out of the thing while
it is present. The past has some lessons undoubtedly and the future holds
many treasures, but the wise person is
the one who gets the most out of the
present."
This was one of the striking iiitrodiictoi-y stiiteiiicnts Mr. Slutz made in
hi.s loci lire on "Education and the
Times," Wednesday afternoon.
Jle iiointcd out ten chiiracteristics of
the time and how he would dciil with
tlieiii in the scliiiol.
1. Till' cliiinged status for women.
Women liave ii right to enjoy iill the
freedom iiian enjoys; they therefore
have double need to know how homes
can be built.
2. Conducting business at long distances. More credit should be given to

3. The mechanization of life, -with 4,
its crowding out of beauty. For this
condition, love and beautiful things in
music and a r t should be taught.

6. We live in a diiy when the only

7. Doing things by crowds; tho iudividuiil may be lost.

instead of repressive.
10. We hiive come into an era of
natural resources and we are left spirituiilly hungry. Stand for the spiritual
issues in life—service, love, brotherhood,
etc.
Summing up, he gave this simple but
forceful definition of edueation. "Education is something the pupil gets for
himself through the teacher's guidance."
The Schoolmaster and the Twentieth
Century
Looking through the schoolmaster's
glasses, Mr. Slutz sees three distressing
iind three cheerful things in America.
The flrst distressing thing is a weakening of democratic government. There
is a lack of faith, a belittling of the
constitution, and a breakdown of state
powers. Second, there is a reversion
to paganism. In America we worship
things, and there is .a renewal of force,
vengeance, and violence as a cure for
injustice. Lastly, education is not reaching the springs of action. There is too
much lawlessness.
Turning to the cheerful things, he advances the revelations of science. It
hiis developed open-niindedness and a
riitionaliziition of religion. He sees uo
conflict between science and religion.
Religion answers the question, "Who did
it?" and science answers, "How did He
do i t ? "
Next, there is humanizing of education. Third, there is a slow but sure
vision of a world of order instead of
war and conflict.
Mr. Orton Lowe, Director of English,
Department of Public Instruction, gave
a nuinber of flne talks covering the subject of English, literature and history.
TIMES
Is literature as good today as in the
time of Kipling, Hawthorne, Poe? He
answered t h a t literature is as good today as before; but, with all the wealth,
science, and education of tod.ay, life is
different; therefore literature is different.
So we teachers have before us the
problem of guiding our pupils in the
understanding and choosing of the better types of literature.
third, their prime purpose is to serve
humanity; and, fourth, each profession
has a code of ethics that holds the members up to a high standard.
All these apply more or less to the
teiiching profession. There is a hack of
standards in regard to the teaching code
of ethics, however. This is due partly
to the .youthfulness of most teachers,
compared to the members of other professions ; second, the short period of service, aver.aging only six years; and,
third, the sniiill salaries. The increase
in salar.y has done more for the profession of teaching than any other one
thing. It has enabled teachers to dress
appropriately, to have better education,
to travel, to read and own books, to attend theatres, operas, music recitals, lectures and summer sessions, and, flnally,
to become independent in their old age.
In concluding he said, "Our business
is to take the professional attitude, an
attitude of service, of co-operation, of
progress and of pride in our profession.
The work you are doing is the most important work being done in the world,
and you should be proud to be in the
profession."
Child's Mind and Child Study
"Who was the greatest psychologist
of all times?" was the opening question
of Mr. Lowe in his lecture on "Child's
Mind iind Child Study," given Wednesday morning. Mr. Lowe ranked Jesus
of Nazareth first, then Shakespeare, Napoleon, Dickens and Mark Twain in the
order mentioned, as being psychologists
of children's actions. Throughout the
lecture he brought out the fact that
psychology is based on individual differences, interests and experiences.

Why We Need to Read and How to Do It
"Reading is the grciitest intellectual
enterprise in America; nothing else exceeds it," said Mr. Ijowe in his address
on Tuesdiiy morning.
The test of an educated niiin is, "Can
he read books and does he do i t ? " Education is getting a new horizon and
there is nothing else like books that
can broaden the horizon. We must read

A Hawk Hunt
A sharp, whistled tsee, to-e-e, ts-e-e-e,
pierced the air of the spring morning.
Far up in the sky, gliding about in large,
concentric circles, was a hawk, surveying the surrounding country for breakfast. Often she would .appear to cease
her flight, remaining motionless in midair. This must have been at a time
when she sighted her prey, for instantly
she dropped from this position with a
swoop to earth, only to rise ag.ain. Perhiips the mouse, rabbit, or wh.atever it
was, heiird her coming, and escaped bofore her talons caught him up.
Every spring several families of hawks
nested in a woods near our farm. They
were quite destructive to our young
chickens. On this particular morning
the hiiwk's notes reached my ears pleasingly, for I knew th.at somewhere there
was a nest of hungry hawks and I was
only too anxious to get out after them.
The best time to hunt hawks is in
the early morning about dawn, as that
is feeding time, when the old li.awks
very frequently visit the nest and one
can flnd them with little difficulty. During the day time the old li.awks are flying about and very seldom come back to
the young ones. They .also leave orders
with their youngsters not to make a
sound; consequently it is only by luck
that you can run on to their nesting
places.
Another peculiar trait of the hawk is
to re-inhabit the old nest every year
until it is destroyed. I had found several nests the year before and had shot
into them, so no doubt this year there
were new nests built, but I had no idea
where. This only added interest to the
hunt, which I decided would take place
tlie following morning.
The next morning I was up at daylight, and, taking my rifle, I left the

me and so I picked up my rifle and
started in that direction.

Every once in a while I stood still
and listened for sounds. I went cautiously, as I was nearing the spot where
I thought tho hawks came down. No
sound came to my ears, so I stood still,
luimediiitely in front of me a large h.awk
flew from one limb of a tree to another.
Tlie.v hiid heard me coining and were
waiting.
About ten feet to the side of me stood
a tall beech tree with a crotch and two
TIMES
limbs growing out about twenty-five feet
from the ground. There in the crotch,
the characteristic spot for a hawk nest,
was a pile of sticks and rubbish which
I knew to be the home of the h.awk family. On limbs not far from the nest
sat Mr. and Mrs. Hawk, carefully guarding their home.
I stepped out to get .a better view
of the nest. One of the hawks merely
dropped from the limb and swooped
down for my head. I saw it coming
,iust in time iind dropped to the ground,
while the bird flew over without touching me, and rested on a nearby limb.
It eame so close that I could feel the
movement of the air above me. I rose
to my feet to take aim to shoot when
the other hawk went through the same
performance and I dropped just in time
again.
Really it Wiis dangerous, for the birds
knew what I was up to and they were
not attacking me merely for the fun of
it. I could imagine what it would feel
like to have their cliiws fastened to my
scalp and I decided to get behind a tree
as soon as possible.
This I did, I was in such a position
that the hawks could not harm me. I
I'iiised my rifle, took aim at one of the
birds, and fired. It dropped, having
made its last flight a second before. At
the shot of the gun the other hawk flew
away aud I went home, feeling proud of
the fact that I had destroyed one of
the chief neighborhood pests.

Dickinson Runs Up Century

Good and Pensheff Run Wild—Scorekeeper Exhausted
One perfectl,y good scorekeeper wore

Coach Dyek's shattered team. Sixteen
touchdowns, ten goals after touchdown;
106-0. Catastrophe!
The overwhelming rout started with

Good
caught the flrst kick-off and r.an 75
yards for a touchdown. From th.at time
on Normal seemed to have but one
strategic ide.a: to exliaust the Dickinson
players by forcing them to run a fulldistance mar.athon.
Good, Dickinson's flash, scored six
times. He could run, and we could not
tackle. Pensheff was Dickinson's left
bower, scoring 4 times; Nye and Scliugart each crossing the line twice, and
Lindemuth and Bechdel getting ii single touchdown apiece. Hohenshut made
good ten of his 16 extra points.
Normal threatened to score but once,
when Bossert t.ackled one of Dickinson's
many substitutes a, foot from the goal
line, following ii biidly handled punt.
Iminediiitely Dickinson punted out of
danger, the full regular squad came
back into the game, and the track meet
was resumed.

NMT" MAKES HIT
Dr. Corson, Dr, Lose, Dr. Slutz
and Mr. Lowe Make Up Corps
of Instructors.
Scottish Singers Please in Good
Dramatization of Burns' Famous Poem.
The Clinton County Teachers' Institnte
held its sessions in our iiuditorium the
week of Novemher 8-12. With the exception of Monday and Friday there
were three sessions d.aily. These were
filled with interesting aud valuable information, which was given in talks by
such capable instructors as Dr. Corson,
Dr. Lose, Dr. Slutz and Mr. Lowe.
Dr. Corson ,and Dr. Lose are no new
comers to Lock Haven, and so large numbers of the students jind the faculty
made use of the opportunity afforded
to hear each man give, in his own way,
the results of his many yenrs experience in the fleld of education.
One li.ad only to hear Dr. Slutz and
Mr. Ijowe once to make a vow that he
would not miss ii lecture by either niiin
the rest of the week.
Miss Whitwell had charge of the
music. Her flrst appearance before the
teachers broke the ice. After that when
it came time to sing every one forgot
themselves and "sang for all they were
worth."
iliss Merrills gave ii very fine talk on
the psycliology of memorizing, Monday
afternoon. Mr. Trembath, Mr. Gage, Mr.
High, Mr. Sulliviin, and Mr. ITlmer had
chiirge of conferences, so thiit everybody
benefited liy having the Institute at Norniiil ; the county teiichers as well as the
Normal instructors and students.
Dr. Corson made all his talks clear
by their very simplicity. He took one
idea and by illustrating it from every
angle, made his point so clear that no
one eould help liut beneflt.
Personality
"The Cotter's Saturdiiy Night" made
the last night of the institute a happy
one. The phiy is based on Robert
Burns' famous poem, and was ably acted by the Scottish Musiciil Comedy Company. It protrayed a typical scene in
the home of a poor Scotch fiirmer tibout
the time of 1700.
Tuesday morning Dr. Corson addressed
the members of the institute on the subject of personality. Personality, he said,
Ciinnot be defined but it is that thing
in a te.acher, or .any person that singles
him out as heing truly great. There
are many qualities that compose it, but
the real heart of personalit.y is a soul
with faith in the Supreme Being.
In the afternoon he developed the subject further by talking on how personality could be cultivated. Since personality is composed of niiiny factors, he
said, we must train each of these if we
are desirous of increasing this great
power. Those requiring cultivation are
self-respect, self-control, self-helpfulness
and self-forgetfulness.
The play opens with Miirgiiret Anderson, the cotter's wife, played by Edith
MacGregor, sitting in the homelj' little
kitchen knitting and singing "John Anderson, My J o . " John enters—Edward
.Vlclliigh—iind tells her of his day's work
behind the plow.

Third Grade Teachers Entertain
Miss Lesher
Miss Lesher was the guest of her student teiichers at a chicken dinner on
Wednesday evening, November 10. After a delicious dinner at Kosters, Miss
Lesher took her eight girls to her home,
where a very pleasiint evening was spent.
The party was a very nice way to close
the flrst nine weeks of work in the
training school and was planned by the
girls as a farewell to those who were
changed to the other grades for the
second nine weeks.
They are expecting their two eldest
children, who work out, and before long
they come.
Jeannie, the daughter,
played bv Margaret Alexander, and the
laird's son, Eobert Douglas, who has oon\eyed Jeannie homo and so receives an
invitation to supper, arrive first. They
sit down to porridge and cheese, iind
.famie, the cotter's son—John K. Daniels, Jr.—comes skipping in to supper,
iidding his tale of the day's doings.
l''iiiiill,y an old neighbor, Tammas C'utlihertsoii, otherwise William Wilson,
Climes to sit awhile. After supper is
over iind the table cleared, the men tell
stories and sing songs while the women knit and listen. Robert tries to
get Jeiinnie to himself, and flnally succeeds while the other folks are gone to
look at the "biiirns." He tells her of
his love, iind his words are received with
shy but favorable reactions.
During the evening niiiny Scotch songs
were aung—"Liuldie, Hurrah for the
Highlands," "Ye Banks and Braes,"
"Scotts Wh Hae," "Annie Laurie," "Bonnie Wee Tiling," "The Auld Iloose."
As it grows late .lohn, the father, tells
Jeannie to bring the old Bible, and
they sing "The Lord's My Shepherd."
When they have flnished the children return to their niiisters and mistresses,
Robert accomiiiinying Jeannie, b u t before they go their fiither gives them
some good advice about obeying their
masters. The scene closes with all singing "Auld Lang Sync."
The play is not a highly exciting one,
but a simple story of a happy evening
spent in the home with all the members loving each other, and it teaches
a lesson of wh.at ii home can be where
love and content are to be found.

New Teaching Assignments

Faculty Visits the Sesqui
Truck Crashes Through Bridge
Lock Haven Normal School wiis represented by Miss Russell, Miss Berrills,
Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Ulmer, Mr. Sullivan
and Mr. High at the Teacher Training
Conference of the Stiite Normal Schools
of Pennsj'lvania, which was held in the
Pennsylvania building at the SesqiiiCentennial Exposition, Philadelphi.a, on
November 11, 12, 13.
The students iire not the only people
enjoying the use of bridges because of
our construction ditch. One-way traffic around the power house takes care
of cars triiveling on Susquehanna Avenue. Cars traveling to and from Girl's
Glen use a one-way bridge just opposite the front entrance to the triiining school.
Although this bridge is constructed
of heavy timber, one of the rear wheels
of the trucks used for hauling building
supplies went througii the floor Mondii3' niorning, November 8. Several of
the men working on the ditch and the
truck driver, after about a half hour's
time had the truck on its way iigain,
undamaged. The bridge was soon repiiired and the floor reinforced, so that
to date there have been no further accidents.
For some time the students have been
triiveling over temporar.v bridges—and
when there hasn't been too much mud
to distract their attention, they have
riither enjoyed the novelt.v. The bridge
between the girls' dorm iiud the day
room is the one most used by the students. I t is just wide enough for one,
but no rules are needed to take care of
extra traffic between classes. When necessarj', two can maiiiige to p.ass one .another ou this bridge without any damiige either to the bridge, the ditch, or
the students—iirovided that neither student weighs more than 135 pounds. The
liridge on the way to the Arbor takes
second place in frequency of use.
A conspicuous part of the progriini of
the conference was the "Little Journey"
at four o'clock e;ich day through the
Sesqui grounds. These were conducted
b.v the Subject Directors of the Department of Public Instructors. The ide.a
Wiis to flnd quickl.v the most interesting
things in the various flelds of the Exposition.
During their stay at the Exjiosition
the teachers saw the Stadium, which accommodates 100,000; the Auditorium,
where large musical events are held;
the Palace of Education, which has exhibits from elementarj' and high schools,
colleges, religious organizations, and so
forth; the Palace of Liberal Arts, which
has exhibits from Japan, Great Brittain,
Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Austria, India, Spain, Czecho-Slovakia, Cuba, Egypt,
Persia and China; the Transportation
building, which exhibits money, stamps,
locomotives (Tom Thumb and the latest
model).
Miss Russell reports that she was most
interested in the Japanese exhibition of
the silk milking process and the sugar
process from the Cuban exhibition.
Mr. Sullivan liked High Street best.

The Science Department of the Junior

the interest of the Junior High School
pupils by showing them the type of work
that is being ciirried on in the science
classes. The progr.am was entirely in
the hands of those pupils who are studying science. An interesting feature of
the program was the class song (Ki-i-kiikas) sung by the science classes at the
close of the program.
TIMES
Twelve hardy Natuiiilist Club members braved the cold stinging atmosphere, and swallowed hard to keep down
their feiir of the diirk Thursdiiy morning, November 18. At 6 o'clock they

Fudge Party and Conference
Are Combined
The old nnd now Grade 2 teachers
took part in a very different kind of
conference on Nov. 11. Miss Phillips
had suggested a fudge party as a farewell to the girls who were going out,
and while the new girls were arranging
iissignnients with Miss Phillips the
old girls stirred up two kettles of fudge.
Alice Hesser and Viola Statler did the
mixing, Mary Margaret Adams ran the
errands, and lone Potter was oflieial
"beater."
Choral Club to Sing Cantata
"Ruth"
Three Normal School Faculty Members
in Cast—First Club Appearance This
Season—Miss Whitwell Directs
With Miss Whitwell directing. Professor Patterson iu one of the leiiding
roles, and Mrs. J. D. McCullough, forinerl.y our Miss Harriet Raffle, iinother
of the soloists, the Lock Haven Cominunitj' (^horal Club will make its flrst
aiipearance this season on Tuesday evening, presenting the ciintata, "Ruth," in
the Norniiil School Auditorium.
The Choral Club concerts, always well
worth heiiring, draw large audiences to
the auditorium. The student body is admitted without charge.
The music of "Ruth" is Alfred Gault's,
and is unusually beautiful. The local
members of the Choral Club have been
singing it ever since rehears.als opened,
so many of the movements h.ave so much
melody.
Professor A. D. Patterson will make
his first appearance with the Choral
Club. If there is any niember of the
student body who has not heard him,
that student should be ou deck Tuesday evening. Mr. Patterson is lucky
euough to possess a niiiguifleent voice,
and uses it beautifully. He has been in
steiidy demand in local churches and
clubs since joining our faculty; ou Tuesday evening no one will need to be told
why.
Mrs. McCullough is not making her
flrst appearance with the Choral Club;
jnst her flrst appearance since she ceased
Iieing Miss Harriet Raftte. I t will be
genuinely pleasant to hear her again in
our own auditorium.
Miss Whitwell has directed the club
for three years, and its excellent reputation is in no small part ascribed to
her hard work and knowledge of music.
Mrs. P. R. Kamp, who has helped Normal School organizations many times,
will be the accompanist.
Changes Made in Teaching Assignments of Group One
Great excitement and much consternation reigned among the girls of Group
One when the changes in teaching assignments for the second nine weeks

a change, but when they consider the
value of a varied experience they may
feel more resigned to their fate. The
changes as posted follow:

Every Man Attends University
Dr. F . D. Slutz, iirinciiial of the Moraine P a r k School, Dayton, Ohio, in his
Wednesday evening lecture on "Everyman's University," stated his desire to
attack two fallacies of education. The
first is the common idea that education and training in the use of the tools
of education are identical. The second
is that education is confined to certain
periods in our lives.
We enter Everyman's University, he
said, when we are born, ;ind we leave it
when we die. We take j u s t four courses
in this university: Things, Other People, Ourselves, and God. A really cultured person in this university must
have native intelligence, und use i t ;
he must be useful; he must be agreeiilile; iind he must have spirituality.
In conclusioii. Dr. Slutz said that we
all inherit mental powers or capacities;
it is up to us to use the tools of education to get the niaximuni product of
those jiowers.

USEFUL INFORMATION
BY INSTITUTE MEN
(Continued from Page 1)
Dr. Corson emiihasized the fiict that
a teacher's success in managing her
school is due to the co-operation of the
majority of the boys iind girls. A teacher should appreciate the fact that her
pupils make her success liossible. Nor
should she hesitate to show appreciation
of work well done.
"That school is well discijilined in
which the pupils know that they hiive
an appreciiitive teacher."
How to Make Better Schools
"Leiiding in sentiment for good
schools is ill! iniportiint fiictor in the

his talk, Thursdiiy at 3:20 P. M. First
of all money is needed, then the schools
should bo equipped and made liviible.
After that moral support of the teachers should be given.
A Duty and a Right
In his Thursday morning lecture, Dr.
Corson pointed out the importance of
working together in order to prevent
future disaster in America. He showed
how strife would inevitably come if we
would not work together in settling disputes such as those between capital iind
labor at present. We must learn to
guide our ship of state aright.
The first right is the right to live.
But along with the right to live goes
a duty to live aright. The dutj' to live
aright is of greater importance than
the right to live.
The second right is that of liberty.
Again, the right to liberty depends upon the strict performance of duty—the
duty to obey and enforce laws.
Dr.
Corson told the teachers to teach "reverence for law" in their schools.
The third right is the pursuit of hiippiness. Accumulation of weiilth is not
happiness, but men of means find hiippiness in giving something to humanity.
"The duty to give unselfish service is
greater than the right to pursue happiness."
Education and the Times
Dr. F. D. Slutz, princip.al of the Moraine Park School, Dayton, Ohio, g.ave
severiil very good talks on education
and its inodern trend.
"Get the fun out of the thing while
it is present. The past has some lessons undoubtedly and the future holds
many treasures, but the wise person is
the one who gets the most out of the
present."
This was one of the striking iiitrodiictoi-y stiiteiiicnts Mr. Slutz made in
hi.s loci lire on "Education and the
Times," Wednesday afternoon.

Summing up, he gave this simple but
forceful definition of edueation. "Education is something the pupil gets for
himself through the teacher's guidance."
The Schoolmaster and the Twentieth
Century
Looking through the schoolmaster's
glasses, Mr. Slutz sees three distressing
iind three cheerful things in America.
The flrst distressing thing is a weakening of democratic government. There
is a lack of faith, a belittling of the
constitution, and a breakdown of state
powers. Second, there is a reversion
to paganism. In America we worship
things, and there is .a renewal of force,
vengeance, and violence as a cure for
injustice. Lastly, education is not reaching the springs of action. There is too
much lawlessness.
Turning to the cheerful things, he advances the revelations of science. It
hiis developed open-niindedness and a
riitionaliziition of religion. He sees uo
conflict between science and religion.
Religion answers the question, "Who did
it?" and science answers, "How did He
do i t ? "
Next, there is humanizing of education. Third, there is a slow but sure
vision of a world of order instead of
war and conflict.
Mr. Orton Lowe, Director of English,
Department of Public Instruction, gave
a nuinber of flne talks covering the subject of English, literature and history.
TIMES
Is literature as good today as in the
time of Kipling, Hawthorne, Poe? He
answered t h a t literature is as good today as before; but, with all the wealth,
science, and education of tod.ay, life is
different; therefore literature is different.
So we teachers have before us the
problem of guiding our pupils in the
understanding and choosing of the better types of literature.
third, their prime purpose is to serve
humanity; and, fourth, each profession
has a code of ethics that holds the members up to a high standard.
All these apply more or less to the
teiiching profession. There is a hack of
standards in regard to the teaching code
of ethics, however. This is due partly
to the .youthfulness of most teachers,
compared to the members of other professions ; second, the short period of service, aver.aging only six years; and,
third, the sniiill salaries. The increase
in salar.y has done more for the profession of teaching than any other one
thing. It has enabled teachers to dress
appropriately, to have better education,
to travel, to read and own books, to attend theatres, operas, music recitals, lectures and summer sessions, and, flnally,
to become independent in their old age.
In concluding he said, "Our business
is to take the professional attitude, an
attitude of service, of co-operation, of
progress and of pride in our profession.
The work you are doing is the most important work being done in the world,
and you should be proud to be in the
profession."
Child's Mind and Child Study
"Who was the greatest psychologist
of all times?" was the opening question
of Mr. Lowe in his lecture on "Child's
Mind iind Child Study," given Wednesday morning. Mr. Lowe ranked Jesus
of Nazareth first, then Shakespeare, Napoleon, Dickens and Mark Twain in the
order mentioned, as being psychologists
of children's actions. Throughout the
lecture he brought out the fact that
psychology is based on individual differences, interests and experiences.

The test of an educated niiin is, "Can

there is nothing else like books that
can broaden the horizon. We must read

A Hawk Hunt
A sharp, whistled tsee, to-e-e, ts-e-e-e,
pierced the air of the spring morning.
Far up in the sky, gliding about in large,
concentric circles, was a hawk, surveying the surrounding country for breakfast. Often she would .appear to cease
her flight, remaining motionless in midair. This must have been at a time
when she sighted her prey, for instantly
she dropped from this position with a
swoop to earth, only to rise ag.ain. Perhiips the mouse, rabbit, or wh.atever it
was, heiird her coming, and escaped bofore her talons caught him up.
Every spring several families of hawks
nested in a woods near our farm. They
were quite destructive to our young
chickens. On this particular morning
the hiiwk's notes reached my ears pleasingly, for I knew th.at somewhere there
was a nest of hungry hawks and I was
only too anxious to get out after them.
The best time to hunt hawks is in
the early morning about dawn, as that
is feeding time, when the old li.awks
very frequently visit the nest and one
can flnd them with little difficulty. During the day time the old li.awks are flying about and very seldom come back to
the young ones. They .also leave orders
with their youngsters not to make a
sound; consequently it is only by luck
that you can run on to their nesting
places.
Another peculiar trait of the hawk is
to re-inhabit the old nest every year
until it is destroyed. I had found several nests the year before and had shot
into them, so no doubt this year there
were new nests built, but I had no idea
where. This only added interest to the
hunt, which I decided would take place
tlie following morning.
The next morning I was up at daylight, and, taking my rifle, I left the

Every once in a while I stood still
and listened for sounds. I went cautiously, as I was nearing the spot where
I thought tho hawks came down. No
sound came to my ears, so I stood still,
luimediiitely in front of me a large h.awk
flew from one limb of a tree to another.
Tlie.v hiid heard me coining and were
waiting.
About ten feet to the side of me stood
a tall beech tree with a crotch and two

limbs growing out about twenty-five feet
from the ground. There in the crotch,
the characteristic spot for a hawk nest,
was a pile of sticks and rubbish which
I knew to be the home of the h.awk family. On limbs not far from the nest
sat Mr. and Mrs. Hawk, carefully guarding their home.
I stepped out to get .a better view
of the nest. One of the hawks merely
dropped from the limb and swooped
down for my head. I saw it coming
,iust in time iind dropped to the ground,
while the bird flew over without touching me, and rested on a nearby limb.
It eame so close that I could feel the
movement of the air above me. I rose
to my feet to take aim to shoot when
the other hawk went through the same
performance and I dropped just in time
again.
Really it Wiis dangerous, for the birds
knew what I was up to and they were
not attacking me merely for the fun of
it. I could imagine what it would feel
like to have their cliiws fastened to my
scalp and I decided to get behind a tree
as soon as possible.
This I did, I was in such a position
that the hawks could not harm me. I
I'iiised my rifle, took aim at one of the
birds, and fired. It dropped, having
made its last flight a second before. At
the shot of the gun the other hawk flew
away aud I went home, feeling proud of
the fact that I had destroyed one of
the chief neighborhood pests.

Dickinson Runs Up Century
Score
Good and Pensheff Run Wild—Scorekeeper Exhausted
One perfectl,y good scorekeeper wore
out three pencils trying to keep an .accurate tiilly during the horrible beating
that Dickinson Seminary handed to
Coach Dyek's shattered team. Sixteen
touchdowns, ten goals after touchdown;
106-0. Catastrophe!
The overwhelming rout started with
the first toot of the whistle.
Good
caught the flrst kick-off and r.an 75
yards for a touchdown. From th.at time
on Normal seemed to have but one
strategic ide.a: to exliaust the Dickinson
players by forcing them to run a fulldistance mar.athon.
Good, Dickinson's flash, scored six
times. He could run, and we could not
tackle. Pensheff was Dickinson's left
bower, scoring 4 times; Nye and Scliugart each crossing the line twice, and
Lindemuth and Bechdel getting ii single touchdown apiece. Hohenshut made
good ten of his 16 extra points.
Normal threatened to score but once,
when Bossert t.ackled one of Dickinson's
many substitutes a, foot from the goal
line, following ii biidly handled punt.
Iminediiitely Dickinson punted out of
danger, the full regular squad came
back into the game, and the track meet
was resumed.
Why drag out the account?
