In greeting the high school seniors
who will be guests of Edinboro at
today’s annual High School Guest
Day, Dr. Carmon Ross, president of
the college, offered the following
message:
“Edinboro is happy, indeed, to wel
come our high school friends to the
campus. I am quite sure that stu
dents and faculty alike will make you
feel at home. The proverbial Edin
boro hospitality will be everywhere.
“Naturally, we are anxious to have
you know us—the college, the stu
dents, the faculty.
Those of you
who are planning to go to college
and are specifically interested in the
profession of teaching as a career,
will find much of interest in any
State Teachers College, and in Edin
boro in particular. Those who are
not sure what they want to do next
year, but who would like to secure
several years of general education,
with the possibility that teaching may
be your ultimate goal, Edinboro of
fers you every advantage. The mod
ern education of every teacher is first
of all a thorough general education
in English, Science, History, Mathe
matics, and other academic subjects.
These Edinboro offers to the pros
pective teacher at a very low cost.
“A copy of our new catalogue will
be mailed you. Look it over. Meet
our students, talk to our instructors,
enjoy our friendship and hospitality.
We hope you will consider Edinboro,
but above all, don’t cease your edu
cation. These days, so complex and
so challenging to men and women of
intelligence, require that you take
advantage of every opportunity for
education.
“If Edinboro can assist you in any
way, we will feel this day will be well
spent for you and profitable for the
College.
Best wishes!! Come again!”
Signed: President

Verbatim—Our Problem, Too?
OUR BEST YOUNG MINDS
“Activities are preventing some of the best young minds in the state
from getting an education, meaning by education that understanding, re
finement, tolerance, and appreciation of value to be had from association
with good minds and good books.
“It is the best minds that go into activities. The activity ruts are
so deep here and the empty vial of dubious honor in Innocents and Mortar
Board so often stressed as the proverbial pot of gold that students with
good minds, but as yet little discernment, are drawn into the maelstrom.
“Participation in one activity might serve as relaxation instead of distraction. But there is no such thing as moderation among the more competent students. If they go into activities they have to try to get enough
of them to make Innocents and Mortar Board, and this is fatal. The good
minds and the good books are neglected for activity haunts, outlines of
courses; and cramming. The result is often, as has been the case of The
Nebraskan this semester, ineligibility.
Emphasis Is Misplaced
Educational Comment Old Recitation Hall
To Be Preserved In
By Wayne Hull and John Clark
Dr. Paul H. Wueller of Penn State Memorial Garden
College gave an enlightening hour’s
talk last Saturday afternoon.
He
masterfully abetted the program by
giving practical
suggestions
for
“Equalizing Educational Opportuni
ties for the Rural Boy and Girl by
Adequate Financial Support”.
Following is a brief outline of some
facts that were so convincingly pre
sented by Dr. Wueller:
I Source of money for support of
our primary and secondary
schools.
In the peak year, 1929, $140,000,000 was furnished through local
taxes; $26,000,000 was provided
by the state.
In the year 19:35, $124,000,000
was raised by local taxes; $32,000,000 was provided by the
state.
II Ways to remedy discrepancies
that occur in the distribution,
collection, and results from mon
ey that is supposedly paid for
school support:
1. Establish a centralized organization for collect on and assessment. This would make it
possible to return to the school
fund the salaries of great num
bers of unnecessary collectors
and assessors. A central set
up could attend to this more
efficiently and economically.
2. Establish an efficient intangibles tax.
3.
“The emphasis on activities as a part of education is largely misplaced.
Activities offer not education but the opportunity to apply what is already
acquired. Nor do activities develop personality, because it is the students
with fine personalities, for the most part, who engage in activities. Any
necessary contact with people, so highly lauded by proponents of activity
careers, might better be had with some intelligent conservation over a coke
or in a fraternity or rooming house....
“Why, then, has the harmful tradition of extra-curricular activities
grown up at Nebraska? The spurious honor attaching to Innocents and
Mortar Board is a partial answer. If the sororities and fraternities were
to use Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi as talking points instead of the activity honoraries, it would help—THE DAILY NEBRASKAN.”

More Student Interest Is Needed
The third annual Rural School Conference was held at Edinboro State
Teachers College on last Saturday with many rural educators and directors
from the -immediate vicinity in attendance.
This conference in an entire day’s program again brought to the
attention of those interested in the problems of rural education Several well
informed speakers were brought to Edinboro by the College to present talks
built around the conference theme of “Equalizing Educational Opportuni
ties for the Rural Boy and Girl”.
Edinboro Students Teach in Rural Districts
III
That this problem as well as other problems in rural education should
be of interest to the Edinboro student body is well emphasized by the fact
1.
that approximately seventy five per cent of Edinboro’s graduates teach their
first term in a rural district. Yet, the morning session of the conference
was only fairly well attended and the afternoon program was attended by
only a handful of Edinboro students.
y
2.
Sureiy, if measured by their attendance at a conference especially
arranged for them and which provided a wealth of pertinent information
concerning their future occupation, the interest of this large portion of the
Edinboro student body in their future work as rural teachers leaves much
to be desired. We very much want to believe that the measure of attend
once is not a true measure of the student body's collective interest in rural
education.

Answers Questions
f Concerning Teaching
Graduates Are Placed
In Many Teaching And
Supervisory Positions
many teach in grades
To the young people of Northwestern Pennsylvania who are consider
ing teaching as a profession, Dean
of Instruction W. A. Wheatley has
. issued the following statement in re'
gard to a much asked question:
“ Tn these days of serious unem
ployment, can I get a job teaching
after I spend three or four years in
preparation?’ ”
'
Future Is Promising
“The past year more than twice as
many of our art students as graduat
ed in the Spring (including gradu
ates from earlier classes) secured
teaching or supervising positions. All
of our four-year graduates who pre
pared to teach in the grades and 95
per cent of those who took the then
two-year certification curriculum for
grade teaching got jobs. More than
half of our graduates who prepared
to teach in the high school also se
cured positions. In brief, the future
for prospective teachers looks fully
as promising as for young people pre
paring for any other calling.
“If you are planning to teach in
the grades you should enter this fall
since-those students who begin their
teacher preparation after February 1,
1939, will need to complete a fouryear course, instead of a three-ye^r
course, as at present, before being
allowed to start their teaching.”
EDINBORO ALUMNI DAY
SCHEDULED FOR MAY 21
(Continued from Page One)
alumni who accept the invitation and
return to Edinboro.
Each reunion
class (classes ending in 3 or 8) have
committees that are working hard to
plan special dinners and to make
their members feel especially wel
come. In general the events are as
follows:
“Registration throughout the day,
luncheon in College Dining Room at
noon, President’s Reception—3 to 4,
Special Class Dinners—5:30, Senior
Play—7:15, Alumni Dance—9 to
midnight.
“It is hoped that the members of
the Senior Class will feel themselves
a part of the Alumni and participate
in all the events. All students should
consider themselves hosts and hos
tesses and do everything to make the
Alumni welcome and to make their
v.sit to.: Edinboro most enjoyable.
“Remember it is the ‘Old Grads’
privilege to remind us how much better things were when he was a stu
dent. Some day we may do the same
but-now it is our duty to listen with
Respect and to realize that memory

portance to perhaps commonplace
things.

Day, Dr. Carmon Ross, president of
the college, offered the following
message:
“Edinboro is happy, indeed, to wel

feel at home. The proverbial Edin
boro hospitality will be everywhere.
“Naturally, we are anxious to have
you know us—the college, the stu

Those of you
who are planning to go to college
and are specifically interested in the
profession of teaching as a career,
will find much of interest in any
State Teachers College, and in Edin
boro in particular. Those who are
not sure what they want to do next
year, but who would like to secure
several years of general education,
with the possibility that teaching may
be your ultimate goal, Edinboro of
fers you every advantage. The mod
ern education of every teacher is first

in English, Science, History, Mathe
matics, and other academic subjects.
These Edinboro offers to the pros
pective teacher at a very low cost.
“A copy of our new catalogue will
be mailed you. Look it over. Meet
our students, talk to our instructors,
enjoy our friendship and hospitality.
We hope you will consider Edinboro,
but above all, don’t cease your edu
cation. These days, so complex and
so challenging to men and women of
intelligence, require that you take
advantage of every opportunity for
education.
“If Edinboro can assist you in any
way, we will feel this day will be well
spent for you and profitable for the
College.
Best wishes!! Come again!”

Verbatim—Our Problem, Too?
OUR BEST YOUNG MINDS
“Activities are preventing some of the best young minds in the state
from getting an education, meaning by education that understanding, re
finement, tolerance, and appreciation of value to be had from association
with good minds and good books.
“It is the best minds that go into activities. The activity ruts are
so deep here and the empty vial of dubious honor in Innocents and Mortar
Board so often stressed as the proverbial pot of gold that students with
good minds, but as yet little discernment, are drawn into the maelstrom.
“Participation in one activity might serve as relaxation instead of distraction. But there is no such thing as moderation among the more competent students. If they go into activities they have to try to get enough
of them to make Innocents and Mortar Board, and this is fatal. The good
minds and the good books are neglected for activity haunts, outlines of
courses; and cramming. The result is often, as has been the case of The
Nebraskan this semester, ineligibility.
Emphasis Is Misplaced
Educational Comment Old Recitation Hall
To Be Preserved In
By Wayne Hull and John Clark
Dr. Paul H. Wueller of Penn State Memorial Garden
College gave an enlightening hour’s
talk last Saturday afternoon.
He
masterfully abetted the program by
giving practical
suggestions
for
“Equalizing Educational Opportuni
ties for the Rural Boy and Girl by
Adequate Financial Support”.
Following is a brief outline of some
facts that were so convincingly pre
sented by Dr. Wueller:
I Source of money for support of
our primary and secondary
schools.
In the peak year, 1929, $140,000,000 was furnished through local
taxes; $26,000,000 was provided
by the state.
In the year 19:35, $124,000,000
was raised by local taxes; $32,000,000 was provided by the
state.
II Ways to remedy discrepancies
that occur in the distribution,
collection, and results from mon
ey that is supposedly paid for
school support:
1. Establish a centralized organization for collect on and assessment. This would make it
possible to return to the school
fund the salaries of great num
bers of unnecessary collectors
and assessors. A central set
up could attend to this more
efficiently and economically.
2. Establish an efficient intangibles tax.
3.
“The emphasis on activities as a part of education is largely misplaced.
Activities offer not education but the opportunity to apply what is already
acquired. Nor do activities develop personality, because it is the students
with fine personalities, for the most part, who engage in activities. Any
necessary contact with people, so highly lauded by proponents of activity
careers, might better be had with some intelligent conservation over a coke
or in a fraternity or rooming house....
“Why, then, has the harmful tradition of extra-curricular activities
grown up at Nebraska? The spurious honor attaching to Innocents and
Mortar Board is a partial answer. If the sororities and fraternities were
to use Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi as talking points instead of the activity honoraries, it would help—THE DAILY NEBRASKAN.”

More Student Interest Is Needed
The third annual Rural School Conference was held at Edinboro State
Teachers College on last Saturday with many rural educators and directors
from the -immediate vicinity in attendance.
This conference in an entire day’s program again brought to the
attention of those interested in the problems of rural education Several well
informed speakers were brought to Edinboro by the College to present talks
built around the conference theme of “Equalizing Educational Opportuni
ties for the Rural Boy and Girl”.
Edinboro Students Teach in Rural Districts
III
That this problem as well as other problems in rural education should
be of interest to the Edinboro student body is well emphasized by the fact
1.
that approximately seventy five per cent of Edinboro’s graduates teach their
first term in a rural district. Yet, the morning session of the conference
was only fairly well attended and the afternoon program was attended by
only a handful of Edinboro students.
y
2.
Sureiy, if measured by their attendance at a conference especially
arranged for them and which provided a wealth of pertinent information
concerning their future occupation, the interest of this large portion of the
Edinboro student body in their future work as rural teachers leaves much
to be desired. We very much want to believe that the measure of attend
once is not a true measure of the student body's collective interest in rural
education.

Answers Questions
f Concerning Teaching
Graduates Are Placed
In Many Teaching And
Supervisory Positions
many teach in grades
To the young people of Northwestern Pennsylvania who are consider
ing teaching as a profession, Dean
of Instruction W. A. Wheatley has
. issued the following statement in re'
gard to a much asked question:
“ Tn these days of serious unem
ployment, can I get a job teaching
after I spend three or four years in
preparation?’ ”
'
Future Is Promising
“The past year more than twice as
many of our art students as graduat
ed in the Spring (including gradu
ates from earlier classes) secured
teaching or supervising positions. All
of our four-year graduates who pre
pared to teach in the grades and 95
per cent of those who took the then
two-year certification curriculum for
grade teaching got jobs. More than
half of our graduates who prepared
to teach in the high school also se
cured positions. In brief, the future
for prospective teachers looks fully
as promising as for young people pre
paring for any other calling.
“If you are planning to teach in
the grades you should enter this fall
since-those students who begin their
teacher preparation after February 1,
1939, will need to complete a fouryear course, instead of a three-ye^r
course, as at present, before being
allowed to start their teaching.”
EDINBORO ALUMNI DAY
SCHEDULED FOR MAY 21
(Continued from Page One)
alumni who accept the invitation and
return to Edinboro.
Each reunion
class (classes ending in 3 or 8) have
committees that are working hard to
plan special dinners and to make
their members feel especially wel
come. In general the events are as
follows:
“Registration throughout the day,
luncheon in College Dining Room at
noon, President’s Reception—3 to 4,
Special Class Dinners—5:30, Senior
Play—7:15, Alumni Dance—9 to
midnight.
“It is hoped that the members of
the Senior Class will feel themselves
a part of the Alumni and participate
in all the events. All students should
consider themselves hosts and hos
tesses and do everything to make the
Alumni welcome and to make their
v.sit to.: Edinboro most enjoyable.
“Remember it is the ‘Old Grads’
privilege to remind us how much better things were when he was a stu
dent. Some day we may do the same
but-now it is our duty to listen with
Respect and to realize that memory
