THE UNIVERSAL
TENDENCY OF MAN
Lecture By Prof. Keller
Today Prof. Keller presents to us
in chapel an all absorbing topic. He
speaks in the manner that only he
can employ of Art and the influence
of Art. His topic is "The Universal
Tendency of Man. "
What is it? The Universal Tendency of man is to decorate the obj ects in his environment. It is demonstrated in all primitive relics. The
cave man , pictures , writing. With
civilization comes building, sculptoring, tapestry, painting. It all shows
this tendency. This tendency is used
to develop the aesthetic appreciation
of art and its products .
What is more important to life,
success and usefulness than self expression. The child is as primitive
man. Taken in this stage, seJ'f expression should be encouraged and
developed. From art this comes.
From Mr. Keller 's abili ty in teaching children he has been able to
collect examples of self expression.
These are "secrets" "i magina t ions ".
These he uses as illustrations of that
significant point of the importance
of self expression.
Art appears in every form of activity. It is noticeable everywhere. It
beautifies .
Art is a potential instrument in
regulating and improving moral conduct. It has a power which no other
thing has.
In conclusion a verification of
these points , Mr. Keller employs quotations from great literature. The
power of Art is felt everywhere.
"Art is power ".
NOVELTY GAME
FRIDAY NIGHT
Comedy To Be
Played
Wit is the soul of humor—originality and initiative are the soul of
art. Those men who are not especially gifted and skillful in the playing of basketball but who have a
. liking for the game and a hunger
for the applause of the multitude of
ladies will appear Friday night in a
novelty basketball game.
It is not j ust that those who are
fast and fairy like , and those who
are deceptive in passing and have a
good eye should enj oy all of the
praise of the fnir. Why not have the
slow and plodding come in for their
share, why can 't brains be recognized?
As a protest- on too greatly centralized applause the Seniors will
meet the Freshmen in a game that
will please the eye and ear, tickle
the funny bone and amaze the crowd
at the display of heretofore hidden
skill.

EDITORIAL
ST U DENTS ON T HE PLA TFORM
It is generally agreed by the faculty and the student body of this
school that student participation in
chapel activities is desirable. The administration expressed itself on this
* subj ect and asked for a means of
keeping the studen ts up with the
world. It was suggested that students
volunteer to cover certain countri es,
events and situations in a short summary each week.
There has been a quick response
to this call for student participation.
On Monday and Wednesday of this
week three members of the Social
Studies Department gave interesting
reports on current , vital topics . The
short reports have been well received by the audience. May we soon
have more.
The first speaker on the Wednesday program was Miss Ceiia Carpenter whose subj ect for discussion was
"Inflation and Deflation ' of Currency ". She spoke of the meaning, the
cause and the effect of these situations. She pointed out what government problem is found in this and
mentioned its appearances in American and European history. She closed b y saying that Inflation and Deflation of the National Currency has
affected , does affect and will continue to affect the history of the
world.
The next subj ect was entitled ,
"France 's Financial Quicksand" from
the Literary Digest. This was given
by Miss Mfary Isaacs. She said that,
altho there is no unemployment in
Franco, and altho business conditions
seem normal, France financially iB in
a precarious condition. Overwhelmin? disaster is imminent. Franco has
attempted sovoral moans of pulling
itself out from under tho pilo made
by extensive rehabiliation , colonial
wars and over depondence on « conquered nation , The French peasant
is hoardin g his scant savings and the
capitalist is investing his money in
foreign cities. Thus it is evident that
Franco has little or no market for
her bonds. Politically France is in
need of a Mussolini. Miss Isaacs extended an invitation to us who feel
the urge to try our hand at saving
France.
These two yo ung ladies are members of Miss Maupin 's Econ omics
Class. They both belong to the Middler group . In the course of comments and discussion , Miss Isaacs
was commended for her pronunciation of the French names.
We hope that this performance is
but the start of a long procession of
similar talks.

The system is divided into four
main headings : Physical Standards,
Motor Ability , Citizenship and Practice Teaching. Physical Standards include posture and health habits. Posture tests will be given and points

tests. Health habits will be reported
by students at the gym office. Motor
ability is divided into two groups :
sports and extra curricula activities.
Sports include basket-ball , hockey,
soccer , tennis , track and base-ball.
For soccer and tennis, which are
played off in tournaments , the winners receive 5 points and the losers
in *ho finals , 3 points. Everyone playing in the tournament receives 1
point. For the other sports the points
are as follows : first team 5 points;
second team , 4 points ; third team 3
points; and fourth team 2 points. All
out for team practice get 1 point.
Extra curricula activities include :
hiking. (1 point for 5 miles) , skating, skiing and snowshoeing (1 poin t :
for 1 hour) . Citizenship takes in
sportsmanship, class attendance and
costume merits. These are checked
up at the end of each semester.
Points will be given to each person
receiving an A. or B. in Practic e
Teaching of gym.
All girls deserving points for
health habits or extra curricula activ- '{
ities may report at the gym office , ^

STATE EDUCATION
ASSOCIATION SESSION
Report Of Convention
In attending a great convention
like the one held at Scranton one
must select from among the wealth
of opportunities the line of work
•which most early meets his needs. A
comprehensive view is there difficul t .
My first contact was with the Tuesday afternoon meeting of the Department of Colleges and Teacher
Training Schools. Mr. Klonower , ths
Director of the Teacher Bureau in
the Department of Public Instruction
gave an in teresting summary of what
has been accomplished in the Teacher Training Problems in Pennsylvania. The colleges have trained and the
State has granted College Certificates to 5443 candidates during ther
past five years. He spoke of the hopeful outlook for qualified teachers for
the secondary schools.
Dr. Mertz , of State College , took
the position'' that no certificate shuuld
be made permanent. Let Normal
School , College, Standard or other
forms of certificate be valid for a
term of five years. During this period
a certain amount of professional study and training must be accomplished to secure renewal. Professionalized content courses should be offered in extension and in Colleges
and Normal Schools to meet this situation.
Dr . Lehman , principal of the Shippensburg State Normal School, followed with a discussion of the character of the students entering the
Teacher Training institutions. The
present two years course should be
maintained but certificates issued at
th e completian of such courses would
not be certificates of graduation.
Dr. Lehman also stated that he
was ready to aband on the Training
School as now organized upon the
Normal School Campus. Co-operation
wit h t he local schools , and working
in conj unction with the superintendent of the cit y schools, he claimed ,
would give better results.
At four o 'clock the House of Delegates met for its first session. This
meeting was largely for the purpose
of hearing reports, the nomination
of officers for the coming year and
the selection of a place for the next
meeting.
Harrisburg was chosen for the
place of meeting. The candidate , later elected for the Presidency, is Superintendent Dickey, superintendent
of the schools of Alleghany County.
The first general session was held
in the Central High School auditorium at 7:30 P. M . A fin e concert by
the Scranton Junger Miaenlnerchor
opened the session.
President Jessie Gray spoke upon
"The Possibilities of Convention ".
Dr. Haas, State Superintendent , gave
an inspiring address. His subje ct was
"The Great Profession." Senator
George Wharton Pepper gave a
most interesting address on "Echoes
from the United States Senate. "
The House of Delegates convened,
the next morning.
The most vital report was that of
Secretary Baisch on the State Retirement Board. The membership is
now 60,025 , the largest in the world.
The assets are now 34 million dollars, The fund is solvent. The State
has paid in its obligation to date 10
million dollars.
Many other interesting reports
were read. The fact that half a million dollars has been set aside for
an education building at the SesquiCentennial and ton thousand for the
meeting of the N. E. A. in Philadelphia next year was of interest to all
present.
Other high points of the Convention were the College Dinner, ju st
to meet old friends ; the addresses by
Dr. Cutton , Dr. Prank Slutz, Dr. 0.

they will broadcast from station WB-A-Z, Wilkes-Barre.
FACULTY NOTES
The popular craze is real estate
speculation. The Bloomsburg Normal
Faculty has its "Man in the Brown
Derby ". Miss Alice Johnston spending her vacation in Ashville, North
Carolina , was persuaded to buy up
the state. "She buys a rock where
ever she goes."
Miss Pearl Mason travelled north
in search of fun and rest. She spent
her vacation in Adams , Massachusetts.
Miss Jessie Patterson went to Columbus , .Ohio , but she seems glad to
be back. Score on e for Pennsylvania
and Bloomsburg.
Some go far for a rest—and get
tired on the way. Mr. A. K . Jackson
was at home in Menomonie , Wisconsin , over the Christmas holidays. He
brought a radio with him that gives
the boys something to listen to in
the absence of other things.

sive methods of procedure.
The Art Department has been the
scene of much activity in the past
week. The art proj ects of the Seniors are due and the results of many
interesting hours of work are fast
being turned in.
The students selected the subject
"Evolution " as the main inspiration
for this years exhibition. Consequently many of the proj ects relate to this

TENDENCY OF MAN
Lecture By Prof. Keller
Today Prof. Keller presents to us
in chapel an all absorbing topic. He
speaks in the manner that only he
can employ of Art and the influence
of Art. His topic is "The Universal
Tendency of Man. "
What is it? The Universal Tendency of man is to decorate the obj ects in his environment. It is demonstrated in all primitive relics. The
cave man , pictures , writing. With
civilization comes building, sculptoring, tapestry, painting. It all shows
this tendency. This tendency is used
to develop the aesthetic appreciation
of art and its products .
What is more important to life,
success and usefulness than self expression. The child is as primitive
man. Taken in this stage, seJ'f expression should be encouraged and
developed. From art this comes.
From Mr. Keller 's abili ty in teaching children he has been able to
collect examples of self expression.
These are "secrets" "i magina t ions ".
These he uses as illustrations of that
significant point of the importance
of self expression.
Art appears in every form of activity. It is noticeable everywhere. It
beautifies .
Art is a potential instrument in
regulating and improving moral conduct. It has a power which no other
thing has.
In conclusion a verification of
these points , Mr. Keller employs quotations from great literature. The
power of Art is felt everywhere.
"Art is power ".
NOVELTY GAME
FRIDAY NIGHT
Comedy To Be
Played
Wit is the soul of humor—originality and initiative are the soul of
art. Those men who are not especially gifted and skillful in the playing of basketball but who have a
. liking for the game and a hunger
for the applause of the multitude of
ladies will appear Friday night in a
novelty basketball game.
It is not j ust that those who are
fast and fairy like , and those who
are deceptive in passing and have a
good eye should enj oy all of the
praise of the fnir. Why not have the
slow and plodding come in for their
share, why can 't brains be recognized?
As a protest- on too greatly centralized applause the Seniors will
meet the Freshmen in a game that
will please the eye and ear, tickle
the funny bone and amaze the crowd
at the display of heretofore hidden
skill.

EDITORIAL
ST U DENTS ON T HE PLA TFORM
It is generally agreed by the faculty and the student body of this
school that student participation in
chapel activities is desirable. The administration expressed itself on this
* subj ect and asked for a means of
keeping the studen ts up with the
world. It was suggested that students
volunteer to cover certain countri es,
events and situations in a short summary each week.
There has been a quick response
to this call for student participation.
On Monday and Wednesday of this
week three members of the Social
Studies Department gave interesting
reports on current , vital topics . The
short reports have been well received by the audience. May we soon
have more.
The first speaker on the Wednesday program was Miss Ceiia Carpenter whose subj ect for discussion was
"Inflation and Deflation ' of Currency ". She spoke of the meaning, the
cause and the effect of these situations. She pointed out what government problem is found in this and
mentioned its appearances in American and European history. She closed b y saying that Inflation and Deflation of the National Currency has
affected , does affect and will continue to affect the history of the
world.
The next subj ect was entitled ,
"France 's Financial Quicksand" from
the Literary Digest. This was given
by Miss Mfary Isaacs. She said that,
altho there is no unemployment in
Franco, and altho business conditions
seem normal, France financially iB in
a precarious condition. Overwhelmin? disaster is imminent. Franco has
attempted sovoral moans of pulling
itself out from under tho pilo made
by extensive rehabiliation , colonial
wars and over depondence on « conquered nation , The French peasant
is hoardin g his scant savings and the
capitalist is investing his money in
foreign cities. Thus it is evident that
Franco has little or no market for
her bonds. Politically France is in
need of a Mussolini. Miss Isaacs extended an invitation to us who feel
the urge to try our hand at saving
France.
These two yo ung ladies are members of Miss Maupin 's Econ omics
Class. They both belong to the Middler group . In the course of comments and discussion , Miss Isaacs
was commended for her pronunciation of the French names.
We hope that this performance is
but the start of a long procession of
similar talks.

Sports include basket-ball , hockey,
soccer , tennis , track and base-ball.
For soccer and tennis, which are
played off in tournaments , the winners receive 5 points and the losers
in *ho finals , 3 points. Everyone playing in the tournament receives 1
point. For the other sports the points
are as follows : first team 5 points;
second team , 4 points ; third team 3
points; and fourth team 2 points. All
out for team practice get 1 point.
Extra curricula activities include :
hiking. (1 point for 5 miles) , skating, skiing and snowshoeing (1 poin t :
for 1 hour) . Citizenship takes in
sportsmanship, class attendance and
costume merits. These are checked
up at the end of each semester.
Points will be given to each person
receiving an A. or B. in Practic e

STATE EDUCATION
ASSOCIATION SESSION
Report Of Convention
In attending a great convention
like the one held at Scranton one
must select from among the wealth
of opportunities the line of work
•which most early meets his needs. A
comprehensive view is there difficul t .
My first contact was with the Tuesday afternoon meeting of the Department of Colleges and Teacher
Training Schools. Mr. Klonower , ths
Director of the Teacher Bureau in
the Department of Public Instruction
gave an in teresting summary of what
has been accomplished in the Teacher Training Problems in Pennsylvania. The colleges have trained and the
State has granted College Certificates to 5443 candidates during ther
past five years. He spoke of the hopeful outlook for qualified teachers for
the secondary schools.
Dr. Mertz , of State College , took
the position'' that no certificate shuuld
be made permanent. Let Normal
School , College, Standard or other
forms of certificate be valid for a
term of five years. During this period
a certain amount of professional study and training must be accomplished to secure renewal. Professionalized content courses should be offered in extension and in Colleges
and Normal Schools to meet this situation.
Dr . Lehman , principal of the Shippensburg State Normal School, followed with a discussion of the character of the students entering the
Teacher Training institutions. The
present two years course should be
maintained but certificates issued at
th e completian of such courses would
not be certificates of graduation.
Dr. Lehman also stated that he
was ready to aband on the Training
School as now organized upon the
Normal School Campus. Co-operation
wit h t he local schools , and working
in conj unction with the superintendent of the cit y schools, he claimed ,
would give better results.
At four o 'clock the House of Delegates met for its first session. This
meeting was largely for the purpose
of hearing reports, the nomination
of officers for the coming year and
the selection of a place for the next
meeting.
Harrisburg was chosen for the
place of meeting. The candidate , later elected for the Presidency, is Superintendent Dickey, superintendent
of the schools of Alleghany County.
The first general session was held
in the Central High School auditorium at 7:30 P. M . A fin e concert by
the Scranton Junger Miaenlnerchor
opened the session.
President Jessie Gray spoke upon
"The Possibilities of Convention ".
Dr. Haas, State Superintendent , gave
an inspiring address. His subje ct was
"The Great Profession." Senator
George Wharton Pepper gave a
most interesting address on "Echoes
from the United States Senate. "
The House of Delegates convened,
the next morning.
The most vital report was that of
Secretary Baisch on the State Retirement Board. The membership is
now 60,025 , the largest in the world.
The assets are now 34 million dollars, The fund is solvent. The State
has paid in its obligation to date 10
million dollars.
Many other interesting reports
were read. The fact that half a million dollars has been set aside for
an education building at the SesquiCentennial and ton thousand for the
meeting of the N. E. A. in Philadelphia next year was of interest to all
present.
Other high points of the Convention were the College Dinner, ju st
to meet old friends ; the addresses by
Dr. Cutton , Dr. Prank Slutz, Dr. 0.

FACULTY NOTES
The popular craze is real estate
speculation. The Bloomsburg Normal
Faculty has its "Man in the Brown
Derby ". Miss Alice Johnston spending her vacation in Ashville, North
Carolina , was persuaded to buy up
the state. "She buys a rock where
ever she goes."
Miss Pearl Mason travelled north
in search of fun and rest. She spent
her vacation in Adams , Massachusetts.
Miss Jessie Patterson went to Columbus , .Ohio , but she seems glad to
be back. Score on e for Pennsylvania
and Bloomsburg.
Some go far for a rest—and get
tired on the way. Mr. A. K . Jackson
was at home in Menomonie , Wisconsin , over the Christmas holidays. He
brought a radio with him that gives
the boys something to listen to in
the absence of other things.

The Art Department has been the
scene of much activity in the past

interesting hours of work are fast

The students selected the subject
"Evolution " as the main inspiration
for this years exhibition. Consequently many of the proj ects relate to this
