situation of teaching there are given

JOURNALISM COURSE GIVES VALUABLE TRAINING
For five years the Spectator has served as the news organ of Edinboro
State Teachers College. During this time the students interested in the
practices of publishing a newspaper have successfully continued its publi­
cation each year. After a shaky financial start, it was subsidized by the
Student Activity Fund and this source of support plus the usual advertis­
ing revenue has assured its publication financially.
However, finance is only the basis for a successful newspaper. Many
other factors enter into its success among which is the journalistic training
of its news writers and editors. Up to this time, this necessary knowledge
has been allowed to be acquired by a rather hit and miss method at Edin­
boro depending mostly on the individual effort of the interested students.
Little has been done to foster and increase this interest in newspaper prac­
tices.
Yet, further and continued success of the Spectator depends upon
upon
an increased and strengthened knowledge of these newswriters and editors.
Much of this knowledge could be obtained in a regularly scheduled class
in Journalism which would emphasize the methods of organizing and ad­
vising a high school newspaper which many times is the work of our English
majors when they obtain teaching positions. In this way, the Spectator
would continue to grow and Edinboro students would obtain valuable train­
ing in a field that is more and more entering into the extra-curricular ac­
tivity of the modern high school. The continued editorial success of the
Spectator and the opportunity for valuable training on the part of future
teachers of Journalism seem to demand a regularly scheduled course in high
school journalism at Edinboro.
DON’T FORGET TO VOTE IN THE POPULARITY CONTEST

Explains Curriculum Used

In explaining the curriculum used
in the progressive school, Mr. Fink
outlined the various fields into which
the interests of the students, upon
which all study is based, led the class
activity throughout the school year.
Beginning last fall with a study of
trees that had been recently plant­
ed on the Erie Day school grounds,
the students advanced from one topic
of interest to another—all definitely
related until at the present time,
they were studying printing with the
aid of an actual print'ng press in
the classroom. During these several
months’ study, the pupils had contact
as a part of this correlated program
with geography, arithmetic, art, history, and other subjects as these
subjects could be used in practical
applications to this work.
No Textbooks Used

The aet vity school uses1 no text
books. All books with the c..
exception
of a drill book for arithmetic
-.c are of
the reference type.
Much use is
made of all types of reference and

members and suckers for all kinds of

Frank Brown, who has spent most
of his time lately painting scenery
and directing plays, is to be commended for his outstanding work in
the dramatic field. He is a real enthusiast about dramatics and if any­
one should be lauded he should.
Then there is Coletta Burkhardt
who doesn't say much, but “just

She justly deserves the
award she won for her scenery in
"Hunger”. It was a back-breaking
task that took lots of planning and
lots of work.

luncheon in the library and music
hall at noon; presentation of partici­
pation certificates, performances of
individual schools and games in the
gym and at Loveland Hall, in the
afternoon; dinner in the dining room

Mostly Girls’ Sports
By Ruth Diehl
Whether spring is here or not, at
least our spring sports—regardless of
the weather—are here to stay with
lots of activity over around the gym.
The spring sports this year include
archery, mushball, tennis, track, and
bicycling.
Bicycling is our new sport and it
seems to be quite a success.
It’s
loads of fun to watch the girls me­
ander all over the sidewalks. But it
would be even more fun to watch
some of us less fortunate ones who
can’t ride a bicycle at all, that is, if
anyone wished a good laugh.
The old saying is that “in the
spring a young man’s fancy lightly
turns to love”.
But, some of the
girls are taking it more seriously.
About every afternoon they are out
practicing with their bows and ar­
rows trying to hit the target. I guess
they’re tired of waiting on Dan Cupid
to shoot his darts, so they’re taking
up the business for themselves. All’s
fair in love and war.
It seems a
mixture of both, but the girls call it
archery.
Three cheers for our dear old
mushball team. About the same old
crowd is out again this year, with a
few new ones. They’re all up to the
minute in rhythm for they can
“swing” (the bat I mean).

Sport Comment
By Normal Dilley
In response to questions asked
them by Joe Sports Writer, the Red
and White Soxites gladly volunteer­
ed the following information:
Elmo Wolfe: “I still get along
0. K. in athletics, but this Bob Ol­
son is quite a competitor at croon­
ing.”

Champ Young: “Who is the best
ping pong player in Reeder Hall, and
why am I?”
Norm Erickson is too modest, he
won’t talk.
Red Lytle: “Whew, some geography test.”
Don Reichel: “I keep in shape by
merely walking to school.”
King Abrams: “It was a good
fight while it lasted, but it (Golden
Glove Tournament) lasted a little
too long.”
Rupe Witalis: “I eat just like a
bird (a vulture?).”
Nick Demiankow: “ I was speech­
less after scoring two points in the
On Campus versus Off Campus
basketball game.”
Swish Shot Nissen, at the conclu­
sion of a successful basketball sea­
son by the Spectator team: ‘I
couldn’t help being high score man;
my teammates just kept feeding me
the ball.”

So, cut out the individual ballots
that come in your copy of the Spec­
tator, do a mite of serious thinking
which should be absolutely devoid of
friendship oi' prejudice, and then fill

register your choices in this contest.
