NORMAL READY FOK

WEST CHESTER TILT

One of Hardest Foes on Bioom>
burg Normal Schedule.
V.

All the "boys are in good shape
for the invasion of West Chester,
Saturday afternoon. The victory
over Lock Haven has instilled
much confidence into the Normal
eleven and the Maroon and Gold
boys should give West Chester a
great battle next Saturday up on
Mt. Olympus. The team invading
us are almost as powerful in its
thrusts and stunts as anything that
treads on the gridiron. *• This, together with the excellent fo rm displayed by our boys in the first two
games, is evidence enough that
we may look forward to a deadly
combat between two teams that
would die fighting rather than go
down to defeat.
As a traditional battle there is
probably no other game played by
school teams where so much enthusiasm is shown and the outcome will be watched with much
interest. Although West Chester
is one of our hardest foes we hope
to come out victorious and put a
dent in their line large enough for
everyone on "the side lines to go
through. We can do it if we want
to , so let 's keep up the cry of going through the season undefeated
and put them down as we did our
first two victims this season.
The probable line-up for this
game will be:
Left End

Bradshaw

Left Tackle
Left End
Center .
Right Tackle
Right End
Ri ght Guard
Quarter Back
Left Half Back
Right Half Back
Full Back

Austin
Mercalf Swinehart
Hawki ns
Wadas
Fritz
Keller
Sorber
Walsh
McGrath

The West Chester backfield is
very dangerous and is composed
of "Scott, Hopkins , Roscoe and
Adams. Bales, a line man, has
also been featuring.

LIEUTENANT-COMMANDER
R. E. BYRD TO LECTURE
Will Give in Detail Experience oi
Flight Over North Pole.

Mr. Elwell , representing the Kiwanis Club , of Bloomsburg, spoke
to the students asking their assistance in bringing Lieutenant-Commander Richard E. Byrd, U. S. N.,
to our Auditorium on November
30th.
Lieut. Bryd will give in detail
the experiences of his famous flight
over the North Pole. This is certainly a worth-while project but it
also puts forth a financial problem
which can be solved if the Normal
students will cooperate. The response of the students to Mr. Elwell's appeal was very gratifying
in that many have pledged themselves to buy $1.00 tickets. With
the hearty cooperation of the people of Bloomsburg and 'the Normal
students Lieutenant-Commander
Byrd will be with us on the evening of November 30th.

ior High School classes will design
the costumes, and tickets. The
scenery was designed by Anna
Wendel and the cover for the programme was made by Sterling
Strausser.
The programme this year is dedicated ' to the children of the
Training School and will include
many cuts in addition to letters
which have been received from
some of the country ' s leading educators. It is the plan of the Art
Department to print articles concerning the educational advantages of such projects as well as their
direct practical application. Some
of the contributors to this year 's
programme include such men as
Fred erick G. Bonser, Fr ank Alvah
Pa rsons , Cecil B. DeMille and J ohn
Barr ymore. These leaders will
discuss the value of such a project
to their particular field.
Professor Keller states that the
play this year is by far the largest
and best Art Club creation and he
is confident that it will surpass all
previous records.

"Her Son 's Wife ," by Dorothy
Canfield.
For twenty years Mary Bascomb has lived in her own narrow
brilliant world. Since the death of
her husband she had confined her
life to raising Ralph. She idealizes his every being and thinks that
Ralph will always live up to her
teachings. Day by day, she sacrifices and labors diligently to send
Ralph to college. Mary always
lives with the one forward idea,
that Ralph will some day become
a great lawyer.
Near the end of his Senior year,
Mary received a letter from Ralph
of his marriage. "She is not your
kind , mother , but Lattie 's all
right. " Mary Bascomb was stunned , her whole consciousness was
lost in oblivion. All next day she
brooded over her son, but rose
early in the morning only to send
him a telegram to bring Lattie
home. All day, while teaching,
gross thought loomed in her mind
to stunt her work , but she labored
on to the end of the day. Slowly
she went home and upon entering
her only realm of peace was confronted by a gaudy green hat and
a cheap umbrella. In the kitchen,
sailed dishes adorned her ammaculate table. Could her Ralph be
this ? The whole house poured
forth its odor of cheap perfume
and Mary immediately stared in
her brain the ungrateful presence
of Lattie.
Mary lived through the coming
months in darkness, but only to be
aroused from the dilemna by the
birth of Dids. She was the image
of Ralph's father. Her eyes were
the eyes of John Bascomb and to
Mary it created a new life.
For many years Mary had
taught at the same school. Every
one loved her because of her
pleasing personality. At last when
she finds conditions at home would
be better without her she decided
to go to Harristown to leach. It
means larger advantages and a
chance to go to New York each
Summer.
For three years Mary found this
work her only pleasure. One day,
while returning from school, she
meets Dids with a crowd of boy3
and girls. Mrs. Bascomb sees that

her brilliant little Dids is merely
raising herself. She sees she needs
her to help and guide her. Mary
at last finds it is her duty to go
back to Gilmanville and help Dids.
Ralph and Lattie welcome Mrs.
Bascomb to her home. They see
what a great help she really is..
Mary starts immediately to amend
the disorder of the house. Meanwhile, she is planning to get Lattie to believe she is ill. If she
could succeed she could manage
the affa irs in her own way. She
buys Lattie everything which might
add to her comfort. She carefully administers to her every need.
She brings Dids up in her own
need. She brings Dids up in her
own manner and develops the little brilliant mind successfully.
In the end Mrs. Bascomb really
learns to love Lattie. She finds
after Dids leaves for college she
and Lattie are inseparable companions.

FOUR-YEAR COURSE.
Many Inquiries in Reference to
the Four-Year Course.
Many inquiries are coming in tc
the office in reference to the four-:
year course. Young men and
women are beginning to realiz^
that it is possible to secure a college education if they wish to
teach , at a school like ours for
much less money than would be
required at private colleges. At
the same time they have discovered that the work at a school HkJ
ours is on as high a plane and
sometimes more effective than that
at many liberal arts colleges. Oui
school will soon issue a pamphle!
to explain in detail the opportun
ity now offered to prospectivf
teachers to secure a degree here.

The boys from Mt. Olympus
journeyed to Lock Haven last
Saturday and took as their victims
of defeat the Normal gridiron warriors of that town. Still rejoicing
from the victory accomplished
over Freeland two weeks ago , the
boys had shown much more figh t
and spirit- than before, proving
their worth as a gridiron machine.
This most excellent showing was
made in spite of the fact that after a five-hour ride in one of the
local buses, the Bloomsburg boys
had just time to change clothes
and begin play at once.

ed by the information obtained in
the previous step, exploration ,
presents the unit in the rough to
give a bird's eye view of it and its
meaning which occupies about
twenty minutes cf a period ; while
the remaining thirty minutes are
used in testing the understanding
of what the teacher has given.
This is an essay test stressing good
English and form and showing an
understanding of the idea rather
than a verbal account of what the
teacher has just given. This test
is carefully read by the teacher
and those who show an understanding of it may begin the next
step, assimilation , while those who
' have not mastered it are retaught
and retested until they do , unless
th ey show themselves to be "problem cases. "
The third step, assimilation , begins individual study of the unit
guided by mimeographed sheets
which give an organized account
of the unit with references. The
sheet contains two types , minimal
essentials which all are expected
to master and voluntary exercise
for those who have finished these
and can do more before ! the class
is called together for the next step.
Thus all the work is done in school
with the teacher giving 'i ndividual
help as it is needed ; thus insuring
the formation of the right study
habits.
When the class have all completed the minimal essentials material , they are ready to organize
their material which is in the form
of an outline written in class without reference to books or notes.
This is not considered as a test,
though it is a test of a rigorous
sort.
As this point the class is ready
for the recitation which can now
be carried on with interest and
profit. The time consumed in
these five steps is exploration , one
lesson ; presentation, one or more
lessons ; assimilation , probably
twelve lessons ; organization, one
lesson ; recitation, probably three
lessons.
Dr. J. Lynn Barnard, Director
of Socied Studies in the Department of Public Instruction , att ended the confer ence and participated

GIRLS' DORMITORY NEWS.

ORCHESTRA ORGANIZES.

The standards of admission to
the Normal Schools of the State
are higher now than they have
ever been. No student is now admitted unless he has graduated
from an approved four-year high
school or unless he has secured an
equivalent certificate through the
Department of Public Instruction
at Harrisburg. This requirement
of admission is really,higher than
that of many colleges" which stipulate that they will admit students
with fifteen units. It is possible
to secure fifteen units at high
schools that are not approved by
the Department. In fact , it is possible to secure that many units in
three years at some schools where
the pupils are allowed to carry
fiv e units a year. On account of
such high standards of admission
the general tone of this school
should be even better than it was
in the past.
