of the gratifying signs of the times
the eagerness manifested by the young
people of our state to grasp the educational
opportunities lying before them.
In consequence of this the liberal provision of
laboratories, material equipment and teaching force, made by the Bloomsburg Normal School far in advance of the temporary
demand has brought' its logical result, and
every department of the school will have a
full quota of students during the coming
term.
The prospective teachers of our state are
evidently well aware of the advanced position taken by our school in preparing for
the work of the new course long before the
necessity of doing so was fully apparent.
While other schools have been obliged to
use valuable time in equipping laboratories
and developing courses of instruction, the

one of our largest and handsomest trees.
Its regular shape, abundant foliage, thick
broad, nicety shaped rich green leaves

straight-grained wood, and the thick, long,
straight stem give it value as lumber.
Late in May and early in June the twigs

blossoms of a greenish yellow color on the
outside, a deeper yellow within, edged at

Such a teacher would throw all the equipment of our great educational plants in the

From Socrates to Jesus, from Pestalozzi
and Froebel to the days of Horace Mann,
and the many noble souls who have since
lived and thought for the children, this has
been the history of schools and education,
that the teacher, the man, has been more
than facts, more than method, more than
book, and routine grind because by him
the soul of the pupil was fed, not on the
husks of a subject, facts not needed in his
stage of development, but by the vital material that he did need ere the next step in
his growth could properly be taken.

funeral took place Thursday, Feb.

following from a local paper.
Robert Buckingham was loved by his
friends, admired by his associates and feared by his antagonists.
As a friend he was ever sincere and always faithful as a lawyer he was able,
conscientious and untiring in his efforts to
serve his clients, and his large clientage,
which he had to the last, speaks volumes
for his ability, integrity and popularity as
a practitioner; as a politician he was honest, sagacious and courageous.
During all
his life he exerted a powerful influence in
the politics of the Democratic party in this
Nature had gifted him most adcounty.
mirably for political leadership. He relied
for success always upon the sober reflection
and judgment of men and the justness of
the cause he espoused.
He was decisive
and firm in battle he was generous and
forgiving in victory, and he was undismayed and undaunted in seeming defeat.
He was a generous, whole-hearted man.

Buckingham, as his friends loved to call
him, will live in the minds of all who ever
associated with him for he left his impress
unmistakably upon all. But it will live

who knew him best, and cherished him for
what he was a generous, honest, sincere,
manly man.

Dickinson made blit one first down
game. In offense the line plunges
were full of dash while the end plays were
clean in formation and gave excellent help
and protection to the runner.
Dickinson kicked to McAvoy who ran it
back thirty-five yards. Veith then clipped
off twenty-five around right end.
Taylor
added twenty around left end. After trying the line a few times Ruloff was shoved
over for the first touch-down and also
kicked the goal.
On the kick-off Wolf of Dickinson secured the ball and advanced twenty yards
but the ball was lost on the next three
downs. On five more downs Ruloff again
crossed the line and kicked the goal.
Veith had the honor of the next touchdown which came soon after Dickinson had
lost the ball on a fumble, Church securing
it for Normal.
Rooke was the next man
to score, while McAvoy and Taylor also
each secured a touch-down before the whistle blew and the first half ended 34

Ruloff twisted his ankle and Shellenberger

In the next series Normal kicked the ball
and soon had Dickinson on her five yard
line where they tried a kick. The ball hit
the goal post and Capt. Putnam promptly
lit on it for five more.
To cap the climax Dickinson next kicked
off and McAvoy, behind good interference

tackles as has ever been seen here, ran the

Koerber and Mooney played the best game
for Hazleton.

Hazleton on downs gave the

In three downs Normal had the ball

If the sponge- farms were

growth were met, these pieces grew double
the size of the cutting in a single year and
at the end of five years were ready for market.
The Dalmatian fishermen were hostile

the eagerness manifested by the young
people of our state to grasp the educational
opportunities lying before them.
In consequence of this the liberal provision of
laboratories, material equipment and teaching force, made by the Bloomsburg Normal School far in advance of the temporary
demand has brought' its logical result, and
every department of the school will have a
full quota of students during the coming
term.
The prospective teachers of our state are
evidently well aware of the advanced position taken by our school in preparing for
the work of the new course long before the
necessity of doing so was fully apparent.

the work of the department in an attractive manner and outlining a previously developed and highly successful course of instruction.
Such repeated demands have
been made upon the school authorities to

of conducting physical culture

are now in training for these positions.

one of our largest and handsomest trees.
Its regular shape, abundant foliage, thick

straight-grained wood, and the thick, long,
straight stem give it value as lumber.

blossoms of a greenish yellow color on the

Such a teacher would throw all the equipment of our great educational plants in the

material equipment.
From Socrates to Jesus, from Pestalozzi
and Froebel to the days of Horace Mann,
and the many noble souls who have since
lived and thought for the children, this has
been the history of schools and education,
that the teacher, the man, has been more
than facts, more than method, more than
book, and routine grind because by him
the soul of the pupil was fed, not on the
husks of a subject, facts not needed in his
stage of development, but by the vital material that he did need ere the next step in
his growth could properly be taken.

funeral took place Thursday, Feb.

following from a local paper.
Robert Buckingham was loved by his
friends, admired by his associates and feared by his antagonists.
As a friend he was ever sincere and always faithful as a lawyer he was able,
conscientious and untiring in his efforts to
serve his clients, and his large clientage,
which he had to the last, speaks volumes
for his ability, integrity and popularity as
a practitioner; as a politician he was honest, sagacious and courageous.
During all
his life he exerted a powerful influence in
the politics of the Democratic party in this
Nature had gifted him most adcounty.
mirably for political leadership. He relied
for success always upon the sober reflection
and judgment of men and the justness of
the cause he espoused.
He was decisive
and firm in battle he was generous and
forgiving in victory, and he was undismayed and undaunted in seeming defeat.
He was a generous, whole-hearted man.

Buckingham, as his friends loved to call
him, will live in the minds of all who ever
associated with him for he left his impress
unmistakably upon all. But it will live

what he was a generous, honest, sincere,
manly man.

The work at first will necessarily go forward slowly because the Chinese are slow

it with a fervor that is characteristic of few

Dickinson made blit one first down
game. In offense the line plunges
were full of dash while the end plays were
clean in formation and gave excellent help
and protection to the runner.
Dickinson kicked to McAvoy who ran it
back thirty-five yards. Veith then clipped
off twenty-five around right end.
Taylor
added twenty around left end. After trying the line a few times Ruloff was shoved
over for the first touch-down and also
kicked the goal.
On the kick-off Wolf of Dickinson secured the ball and advanced twenty yards
but the ball was lost on the next three
downs. On five more downs Ruloff again
crossed the line and kicked the goal.
Veith had the honor of the next touchdown which came soon after Dickinson had
lost the ball on a fumble, Church securing
it for Normal.
Rooke was the next man
to score, while McAvoy and Taylor also
