GOOD OPENER FOR BLOOM
Defeats Wyoming Seminar y 3-1
The first game of the season played on
Seminary 's own field brought out Bloomsbu rg 's hope for a bright and successful season.
Th e boys r an out on the field with all the
form of a team in mid-season and the Maroon and Gold nine jumped ahead with two
runs in the first inning. Seminary unable to
hit successfully against the Bloomsburg defense failed to score till the final inning.
Bobby Wilson got off the first score for
Bloom and Mowrer followed with a three bagger snd came in on the catch after Ichter 's
fly to Stretch at center-field.
The third score of the gam e was made after
Ichter came from a little play of outguessing
the field team. Golder's single carried him
in from third .
Seminary narrowly avoided a shut out when
they managed to bring in a run with two men
oufe.
Though this game was the first on Bloomsburg 's schedule , Seminary had th e advantage
of two games played before.
Omega Chi Makes Whoopee
Beneath a canopy of orange and black
streamers and to the "hottest " strains of
• 'Joe " Alexander 's orchestra the members of
the Omega Chi fraternity entertained their
guests at their annual dance held Saturday
night April 13, 1929, in the college gymnasium. It was strictly formal , the first of this
kind attempted at the college, and from
every viewpoint very successful.
The decorations formed a setting which
probably has not been surpassed by any organization. Orange and black streamers were
suspended from the wires stretched across the
gymnasium above the floor. As a background for the orchestra , stage scenery of a
conventional castle was used and beyond this
the streamers extended to the floor , everything forming a fantastic effect. The fraternity should be congratulated for their competent handlin g of the dance.

HEAR DR. HENRY . H. CRANE AT THE SPRING
OFFICER 'S TRAINING CONFERENCE
Gettysbur g College to be the Scene of Y.M.C.A.
Conference on May 3-4-5 1929
Dr. Henry H. Crane , nephew of Frank
Crane , will be the main speaker at the annual
Y. M. C. A. Sp ring Officer 's Training Conference of Eastern Pen nsylvania to be held
on the Gettysburg College Campus , Gettysburg on May 3, 4 , 5, 1929.
This Conference is primaril y for the purpose of trainin g the newly elected officers
and committee heads in the workings of the
Y. M. C. A. , that they may be more efficient ,
capable , influential men to administer the
duties of the office to which they have been
elected. Also , that their own life may be
gnriehed by the fellowship with men who
have seen the vision , are living the life of
consecration , and are losing themselves in
Christlike service for the Master.
Dr. Crane, who was formerly fro m Boston
is one of the strongest speakers in Pennsylvania. He was born at Dan ville , Illinois and
is now about 45 years of age. He graduated
from Wesleyan in 1913, has taken work at
Boston School of Theology and so\n e graduate work at Harvard . While in college he
was a member of the all American Basketball team , played on the Tennis team , was
manager of the Football team , a leader of
the Glee Club and also was active in College
dramatics. At present he is pastor of the
Elm Park M. E. Church at Scranton , Pennsylvania. He is a wonderful Christian leader ,
full of pep, very original in his delivery , and
any student or professor will be hi ghly benefitted by hearin g him.
The tentative progr am , in brief , for the
Conference follows: Registration in the afternoon of May 3, from three to five in the
Gettysburg Y. M. C. A. After supper , Dr.
Henry H. Crane will speak at the opening
session , followed by an open forum. Saturday mornin g 's session consists of worship
speaker and then a division into small discussion groups , under the direction of capable leaders. The afternoon is devoted to
recreation , probably a visit to the Battle field ,
after a session and open forum. Arthur Rugh ,
together with two foreign students will speak
at the banquet on Saturday evening. A social period follows. Snnday morning, following devotions , a report of the findings of
the discussion groups and faculty group will
be presented. The dedicatory service for
"Service " concludes the conference.
Alpha Delta Zeta Dance
The Annual Spring Dance of the Alpha
Delta Zeta promises to be a rare treat to
those who attend. This dance we are told is
philanthropic (look it up, we had to). Music
will be furnished by Don Hower.
Remember this dance is on April 27.
Watch the bulletin boards for further announcements.
SOTHERN DELI GHTS LARGE AUDIENCE
Retires from Stage Soon
Mr. E. H. Sothern, the great Shakespearian
actor, was our guest at the last of the entertainment courses for this year. He presented as his Shakespearian program, parts from
"Macbeth" and "The Merchant of Venice".
For a man as old as Mr. Sothern, his acting was superb. He has acted for a 'gr eat
m a ny years, and he certainly showed that he
underst ands the plays and char act ers h e is
portraying.
After giving parts fro m those two plays,
he told us something abou t t h e history of th e
stage in the United States. He related many
an ecdotes connect ed with it , and especially
the part his father had played in its development. His father had learned during his lifetime over six hundred parts, while Mr. Soth*
era said he had only learned sixty-five.
Mr. Sothern is the husband of Julia Marlow e, the noted Shakespearian actress who
has played opposite him so many years. She
is retiring , and he doesn 't wish to play opposite anyone else ; so he is retiring.
The entertainment cou rses thi s year h ave
been very fine , and this performance was a
very suitable conclusion to them all, and one
we will not soon forget.

a unanimous vote of the judges.
Bloomsburg's affirmative team consisted
of: Martha Laird , rebuttal ; William Weaver ,

against the present jury system :

IT'S HERE-BOT THEN AGAIN IS IT?
Spring we mean , of course , and with it
comes that tired and yawning feeling. We
take a cut now a nd then (but it is seldom
then). Remember, watch your cuts!
We have a lot of things to think about
n ow: the m es, reports , b aseball , tra ck , tennis ,
d ebates , hikes, orations and exams. If that
laggy, la zy fe eling gets u s w e may b e a m on g
the missing next year.
Let Spring in all its newness challenge us
to a new Pep to regulate our time for the
most beneficial results.
Susquehanna .
At Stevens Tech.
A unique idea in the field of education has
been conceived by the trustees of Stevens
Tech. They are installing a system whereby
a part of the tuition fee will be refunded to
the most proficient students in the college ;
the amount varying with the standing of the
student.
If it were possible to select the best stu-
H. & C. Cut Rate
. dents by grades, a system like this might b e
ad v antageous , but numerical gr ades are n ot
always the distinguishing mark of the student.
The Carnegie tests proved this when they
sh ow ed that th e best ed u cat ed men in colleg e
were by no means invariably near the top of
their class scholastically. Marks are as likely
to throw you off the trail as put you on it.
Course-crabbers rarely find time for anything
but the courses required for graduation.
If the authorities at Stevens held a lottery
and drew the names of the refund winners
out of a hat they would probably come as
close to the truth of the matter. Or , granting that marks make the student , why not
reverse the system and give the refunds to
the men with the worst averages , for they
would then be very obviously the ones who
had gotten the least for their money.

BEAT SHIPPENSBURG
Should any group of people be asked what
they would do if each one of the group should
inherit a fortune , no doubt the answers of
most of them would be that they would travel. Further questioning would undoubtedly
develop the fact that most of their ideas of
travel would be vague and hazy. They would
like to travel—where? Anywhere it would
seem , just to get away from the humdrum of
existence and be "free ".
Well , what is freedom? How many of us
know when we have it or when we do not have
it? Seemingly, if superficial definitions are
accepted , freedom is a something which one
must have before anything worth-while can
be accomplished. "If I were only free , what
might I not do?" Which is tommyrot ! For
the truth of the matter is that the greatest of
human achievements have been accomplished
by those fettered with mental and physical
handicaps and adverse circumstances.
Ca rlyle was afflicted with dom estic di scord
and his own miserable disposition. Beethoven composed the greatest of his symphonies
when stone-deaf. Oscar Wilde wrote the most
powerful of his poems, "The Ballad of Reading Gaol", while behind prison bars. Robert
Stevenson did his best work when dying of
tuberculosis. Edison deaf , Milt on blin d ,
Burns uneducated , Franklin self-taught—all
intellectual giants it is true—but yet not
"free" in the sense that so many of us whine
about.

The Store Where You Save Money
And so we do but delu.de ourselves when
idly dreaming of what we could or would do
"if we were only free ".
Freedom , if anything, is a state of mind,
—a mind that keeps itself free from discontent , that will not allow itself to be defeated
by untoward circumstances. Is it not true
that when we desire most to "get away " from
everything and everyone, we are but fatuously endeavoring to get away from ourselves?
—and th at is impossible. For whether our
mental flight ascends to the heights of heaven
or descends to the depths of hell , we cannot
escape ourselves. The inescapable truth rem ains that when w e realiz e we ar e not all that
we hoped to be, when we feel that we are not
enjoying the pleasures that we believe should
be ours , it is not because w e h ave not been
"free " to do so. It is because we have been
false to our ide als , unworthy of our inspirations , and inferior to our dreams.

LITERARY
Spring Madness
Oh , prithee , tell the Spring World how
You keep your heart stilled silently
Against the trembling song of bird ,
To go your way so quietly,
Unmindful of the early buds
That halt the wayward feet of those
Who thrill to sudden bloom of flow 'r,
Whether dandelion or rose .
Oh , prithee , tell how it will fare
With you wiien Spring nights warm with
rain ,
Creep through your casement window
closed
And let their breath upon the pane.
Intoxicating sweep of winds
That flow through veins with strength of
wine;
Can it nof/ surely touch you wild
And set your heart to music fine?
Margaret Umbewust
Modern Song of Success
Succeed, iucceed , hoard up great wealth ,
Amass great honor for yourself
By chivalry set not great store,
For what you have is what you are;
Fool though you be or idiot too,
With open arms they welcome you
When they but know that you are lord
And by the tons your gold is stored.
So trample , trampl e , push and slay
Them who but dare to block your way,
For they who once kicked you in dust
Will kiss your feet once know they must;
Althou gh your road is rough and hard
Be you led on by your reward .
As good as is to be the king in cloth of gold ,
So bitter 'tis to be cast down—out in the
cold
Caught fast in grey cloaked famine 's hungry
clutch
But bah! away with such
You must succeed!
And when you stand with brandished sword
Atop your golden gleaming horde
Then wiH the hau ghty make retreat
At last to grovel at your feet ,
So carry on , let none impede
You must succeed!

Commuters Entertained by College at Dinner
The night of the "tournament of phrases"
in regard to the abolition of the jury system,
April 9, 1929 , the college entertained the commuters at dinner in the dining roo n.
"Hank" Warman and "Army " Keller, our
well-known "troubadours" entertained with
two humorous vocal numbers. Miss Caldwell sang a soprano solo. Dot Lord and
Hortense Evans sang a duet with ukelele accompaniment. Dean Koch served as toastmaster.
Department of Public Instruction
Harrisburg, Pa., April 5, 1929
To County and District Superintendents:
Within the next month or two you will be
giving consideration to the employment of
teachers and the fillin g of vacancies in your
school districts. Persons elected to teaching
positions m ust be qualified in accordance
with the law to fulfill the duties for which
they are elected. This qualification is set
forth in Section 1301 of the School Code
which in brief states:
" No teacher shall teach in any
p ublic school in this Commonwealth , any branch which he has
not been p rop erly certif ied to
teach. "
In view of the fact that State subsidy is
based , in part , on the certificate which the
teacher holds , the Department must check
every Application for Appro priation against
the teachers certificate to ascertain whether
the teacher is teaching subjects for which he
is legally certified. Normal schools and college graduates must be limited to teach the
fields and subjects indicated on the face of
their certificates.
Normal school certificates which have been
taught on for years must be converted into
normal diplomas to be valid licenses to teach
or must be renewed in accordance with the
law. College provisional certificates which
have been taught on for three years must be
renewed or converted into a permanent certificate in accordance with the law. This also
applies to all forms of temporary certificates.
It is suggested that a copy of this letter be
forwarded to the secretaries of school boards
within your districts that they may be advised
of the importance of determi nin g whether
the teachers hold legal licenses to teach the
subjec ts which they are to be employed to
teach.
Sincerely yours ,
John A. H. Keith , Superintendent

Bloomsburg Wins Dual Debate from Mansfield
continued from page 1
1. There is at present an evolution at work
which is abolishing the jury system and is establishing in its place a system of trial by
j udges.
2. The j ury system is inefficient.
3. The most capable citizens are exempt
from jury service.
4. Justice is being thwarted in making up
of the jury panel.
5. The theory of the petty jury system is
a failure.
6. Justice can be administered by a judicial tribunal of five capable citizens.
7. This system will overcome the fallacies
•
in the theory of the petty jury system and ••
will free the judge trom the duty of deciding
on admissibility of evidence to be broug ht
before an ignor ant jury.
In conclusion they presented a plan of jury
trial to take the place of the present one.
Five men , trained in the law and of the highest intelli gence , were to be chosen to serve for
ten years as junior s, and their ages were not
' to be under thirty years old.
The negative team of Bloomsburg, consisting of: Clarence Wolever , rebuttal ; Jack
. Fortner , first speaker and Grace Calender ,
second speaker, submitted the following points
in favor of the present jury system :
1. Time has shown the necessity of a jury
system.
2. Present jury system is not rendering as
it could.
3. It is the best way to adminster justice.
4. Justice could be more effectively rendered if many of the hindrances and evils
were removed.

Mansfield , though losing both debates by a
unanimous vote of the judges , had very fine
speakers , and though their points were not
strong , they spoke very convincingly.
The plan they submitted was that seven
jurors and a jud ge should appoint the judg e
to control the j urors. The j urors, under the
plan , should be trained in a law college for
four year s before being able to act on the jury.
These debates w ere so fine , that Dr. Haas
is in favor of continuing them , and w e may
look forward to more debates in the near future. As Dean Sutliff said , "The debating
spirit is not dead at Bloomsburg; it is only
sleeping."

Student Council
Whether everyone is aware of the fact or
not , the Social Committee is doing some fine
work around the school. Just at present a
sub-committee known as the Dance Property
Committee is trying to have plans for an orchestra stage , to be placed on the bleachers ,
approved. They have been drawn up and
submitted to the Grounds and Building overseer but no estimate has been given. If these
plans are approved much more apace will be
available for social functions in the Gym.
This stage , in all probability, will be large
enough to comfortably seat the faculty, which
will mean still more space.
Every organization who uses the Gym for
social functions will contribute to this enterprise so it will be possible. This committee
is: Tax Davis , chairman , Ruth Sonner and
Miss Maupin.

Defeats Wyoming Seminar y 3-1
The first game of the season played on
Seminary 's own field brought out Bloomsbu rg 's hope for a bright and successful season.
Th e boys r an out on the field with all the
form of a team in mid-season and the Maroon and Gold nine jumped ahead with two
runs in the first inning. Seminary unable to
hit successfully against the Bloomsburg defense failed to score till the final inning.
Bobby Wilson got off the first score for
Bloom and Mowrer followed with a three bagger snd came in on the catch after Ichter 's
fly to Stretch at center-field.
The third score of the gam e was made after
Ichter came from a little play of outguessing
the field team. Golder's single carried him
in from third .
Seminary narrowly avoided a shut out when
they managed to bring in a run with two men
oufe.
Though this game was the first on Bloomsburg 's schedule , Seminary had th e advantage
of two games played before.
Omega Chi Makes Whoopee
Beneath a canopy of orange and black
streamers and to the "hottest " strains of
• 'Joe " Alexander 's orchestra the members of
the Omega Chi fraternity entertained their
guests at their annual dance held Saturday
night April 13, 1929, in the college gymnasium. It was strictly formal , the first of this
kind attempted at the college, and from
every viewpoint very successful.
The decorations formed a setting which
probably has not been surpassed by any organization. Orange and black streamers were
suspended from the wires stretched across the
gymnasium above the floor. As a background for the orchestra , stage scenery of a
conventional castle was used and beyond this
the streamers extended to the floor , everything forming a fantastic effect. The fraternity should be congratulated for their competent handlin g of the dance.

HEAR DR. HENRY . H. CRANE AT THE SPRING
OFFICER 'S TRAINING CONFERENCE
Gettysbur g College to be the Scene of Y.M.C.A.
Conference on May 3-4-5 1929
Dr. Henry H. Crane , nephew of Frank
Crane , will be the main speaker at the annual
Y. M. C. A. Sp ring Officer 's Training Conference of Eastern Pen nsylvania to be held
on the Gettysburg College Campus , Gettysburg on May 3, 4 , 5, 1929.
This Conference is primaril y for the purpose of trainin g the newly elected officers
and committee heads in the workings of the
Y. M. C. A. , that they may be more efficient ,
capable , influential men to administer the
duties of the office to which they have been
elected. Also , that their own life may be
gnriehed by the fellowship with men who
have seen the vision , are living the life of
consecration , and are losing themselves in
Christlike service for the Master.
Dr. Crane, who was formerly fro m Boston
is one of the strongest speakers in Pennsylvania. He was born at Dan ville , Illinois and
is now about 45 years of age. He graduated
from Wesleyan in 1913, has taken work at
Boston School of Theology and so\n e graduate work at Harvard . While in college he
was a member of the all American Basketball team , played on the Tennis team , was
manager of the Football team , a leader of
the Glee Club and also was active in College
dramatics. At present he is pastor of the
Elm Park M. E. Church at Scranton , Pennsylvania. He is a wonderful Christian leader ,
full of pep, very original in his delivery , and
any student or professor will be hi ghly benefitted by hearin g him.
The tentative progr am , in brief , for the
Conference follows: Registration in the afternoon of May 3, from three to five in the
Gettysburg Y. M. C. A. After supper , Dr.
Henry H. Crane will speak at the opening
session , followed by an open forum. Saturday mornin g 's session consists of worship
speaker and then a division into small discussion groups , under the direction of capable leaders. The afternoon is devoted to
recreation , probably a visit to the Battle field ,
after a session and open forum. Arthur Rugh ,
together with two foreign students will speak
at the banquet on Saturday evening. A social period follows. Snnday morning, following devotions , a report of the findings of
the discussion groups and faculty group will
be presented. The dedicatory service for
"Service " concludes the conference.
Alpha Delta Zeta Dance
The Annual Spring Dance of the Alpha
Delta Zeta promises to be a rare treat to
those who attend. This dance we are told is
philanthropic (look it up, we had to). Music
will be furnished by Don Hower.
Remember this dance is on April 27.
Watch the bulletin boards for further announcements.
SOTHERN DELI GHTS LARGE AUDIENCE
Retires from Stage Soon
Mr. E. H. Sothern, the great Shakespearian
actor, was our guest at the last of the entertainment courses for this year. He presented as his Shakespearian program, parts from
"Macbeth" and "The Merchant of Venice".
For a man as old as Mr. Sothern, his acting was superb. He has acted for a 'gr eat
m a ny years, and he certainly showed that he
underst ands the plays and char act ers h e is
portraying.
After giving parts fro m those two plays,
he told us something abou t t h e history of th e
stage in the United States. He related many
an ecdotes connect ed with it , and especially
the part his father had played in its development. His father had learned during his lifetime over six hundred parts, while Mr. Soth*
era said he had only learned sixty-five.
Mr. Sothern is the husband of Julia Marlow e, the noted Shakespearian actress who
has played opposite him so many years. She
is retiring , and he doesn 't wish to play opposite anyone else ; so he is retiring.
The entertainment cou rses thi s year h ave
been very fine , and this performance was a
very suitable conclusion to them all, and one
we will not soon forget.

traveled. Bloomsburg won both debates by
a unanimous vote of the judges.
Bloomsburg's affirmative team consisted
of: Martha Laird , rebuttal ; William Weaver ,
first speaker and Lois DeMott , second speaker. They put forth the following points
against the present jury system :

IT'S HERE-BOT THEN AGAIN IS IT?
Spring we mean , of course , and with it
comes that tired and yawning feeling. We
take a cut now a nd then (but it is seldom
then). Remember, watch your cuts!
We have a lot of things to think about
n ow: the m es, reports , b aseball , tra ck , tennis ,
d ebates , hikes, orations and exams. If that
laggy, la zy fe eling gets u s w e may b e a m on g

Let Spring in all its newness challenge us
to a new Pep to regulate our time for the
most beneficial results.
Susquehanna .
At Stevens Tech.
A unique idea in the field of education has
been conceived by the trustees of Stevens
Tech. They are installing a system whereby
a part of the tuition fee will be refunded to
the most proficient students in the college ;
the amount varying with the standing of the
student.
If it were possible to select the best stu-
H. & C. Cut Rate
. dents by grades, a system like this might b e
ad v antageous , but numerical gr ades are n ot
always the distinguishing mark of the student.
The Carnegie tests proved this when they
sh ow ed that th e best ed u cat ed men in colleg e
were by no means invariably near the top of
their class scholastically. Marks are as likely
to throw you off the trail as put you on it.
Course-crabbers rarely find time for anything
but the courses required for graduation.
If the authorities at Stevens held a lottery
and drew the names of the refund winners
out of a hat they would probably come as
close to the truth of the matter. Or , granting that marks make the student , why not
reverse the system and give the refunds to
the men with the worst averages , for they
would then be very obviously the ones who
had gotten the least for their money.

BEAT SHIPPENSBURG
Should any group of people be asked what
they would do if each one of the group should
inherit a fortune , no doubt the answers of
most of them would be that they would travel. Further questioning would undoubtedly
develop the fact that most of their ideas of
travel would be vague and hazy. They would
like to travel—where? Anywhere it would
seem , just to get away from the humdrum of
existence and be "free ".
Well , what is freedom? How many of us
know when we have it or when we do not have
it? Seemingly, if superficial definitions are
accepted , freedom is a something which one
must have before anything worth-while can
be accomplished. "If I were only free , what
might I not do?" Which is tommyrot ! For
the truth of the matter is that the greatest of
human achievements have been accomplished
by those fettered with mental and physical
handicaps and adverse circumstances.
Ca rlyle was afflicted with dom estic di scord
and his own miserable disposition. Beethoven composed the greatest of his symphonies
when stone-deaf. Oscar Wilde wrote the most
powerful of his poems, "The Ballad of Reading Gaol", while behind prison bars. Robert
Stevenson did his best work when dying of
tuberculosis. Edison deaf , Milt on blin d ,
Burns uneducated , Franklin self-taught—all
intellectual giants it is true—but yet not
"free" in the sense that so many of us whine
about.

The Store Where You Save Money
And so we do but delu.de ourselves when
idly dreaming of what we could or would do
"if we were only free ".
Freedom , if anything, is a state of mind,
—a mind that keeps itself free from discontent , that will not allow itself to be defeated
by untoward circumstances. Is it not true
that when we desire most to "get away " from
everything and everyone, we are but fatuously endeavoring to get away from ourselves?
—and th at is impossible. For whether our
mental flight ascends to the heights of heaven
or descends to the depths of hell , we cannot
escape ourselves. The inescapable truth rem ains that when w e realiz e we ar e not all that
we hoped to be, when we feel that we are not
enjoying the pleasures that we believe should
be ours , it is not because w e h ave not been
"free " to do so. It is because we have been
false to our ide als , unworthy of our inspirations , and inferior to our dreams.

LITERARY
Spring Madness
Oh , prithee , tell the Spring World how
You keep your heart stilled silently
Against the trembling song of bird ,
To go your way so quietly,
Unmindful of the early buds
That halt the wayward feet of those
Who thrill to sudden bloom of flow 'r,
Whether dandelion or rose .
Oh , prithee , tell how it will fare
With you wiien Spring nights warm with
rain ,
Creep through your casement window
closed
And let their breath upon the pane.
Intoxicating sweep of winds
That flow through veins with strength of
wine;
Can it nof/ surely touch you wild
And set your heart to music fine?
Margaret Umbewust
Modern Song of Success
Succeed, iucceed , hoard up great wealth ,
Amass great honor for yourself
By chivalry set not great store,
For what you have is what you are;
Fool though you be or idiot too,
With open arms they welcome you
When they but know that you are lord
And by the tons your gold is stored.
So trample , trampl e , push and slay
Them who but dare to block your way,
For they who once kicked you in dust
Will kiss your feet once know they must;
Althou gh your road is rough and hard
Be you led on by your reward .
As good as is to be the king in cloth of gold ,
So bitter 'tis to be cast down—out in the
cold
Caught fast in grey cloaked famine 's hungry
clutch
But bah! away with such
You must succeed!
And when you stand with brandished sword
Atop your golden gleaming horde
Then wiH the hau ghty make retreat
At last to grovel at your feet ,
So carry on , let none impede
You must succeed!

Commuters Entertained by College at Dinner
The night of the "tournament of phrases"
in regard to the abolition of the jury system,
April 9, 1929 , the college entertained the commuters at dinner in the dining roo n.
"Hank" Warman and "Army " Keller, our
well-known "troubadours" entertained with
two humorous vocal numbers. Miss Caldwell sang a soprano solo. Dot Lord and
Hortense Evans sang a duet with ukelele accompaniment. Dean Koch served as toastmaster.
Department of Public Instruction
Harrisburg, Pa., April 5, 1929
To County and District Superintendents:
Within the next month or two you will be
giving consideration to the employment of
teachers and the fillin g of vacancies in your
school districts. Persons elected to teaching
positions m ust be qualified in accordance
with the law to fulfill the duties for which
they are elected. This qualification is set
forth in Section 1301 of the School Code
which in brief states:
" No teacher shall teach in any
p ublic school in this Commonwealth , any branch which he has
not been p rop erly certif ied to
teach. "
In view of the fact that State subsidy is
based , in part , on the certificate which the
teacher holds , the Department must check
every Application for Appro priation against
the teachers certificate to ascertain whether
the teacher is teaching subjects for which he
is legally certified. Normal schools and college graduates must be limited to teach the
fields and subjects indicated on the face of
their certificates.
Normal school certificates which have been
taught on for years must be converted into
normal diplomas to be valid licenses to teach
or must be renewed in accordance with the
law. College provisional certificates which
have been taught on for three years must be
renewed or converted into a permanent certificate in accordance with the law. This also
applies to all forms of temporary certificates.
It is suggested that a copy of this letter be
forwarded to the secretaries of school boards
within your districts that they may be advised
of the importance of determi nin g whether
the teachers hold legal licenses to teach the
subjec ts which they are to be employed to
teach.
Sincerely yours ,
John A. H. Keith , Superintendent

Bloomsburg Wins Dual Debate from Mansfield
continued from page 1
1. There is at present an evolution at work
which is abolishing the jury system and is establishing in its place a system of trial by
j udges.
2. The j ury system is inefficient.
3. The most capable citizens are exempt
from jury service.
4. Justice is being thwarted in making up
of the jury panel.
5. The theory of the petty jury system is
a failure.
6. Justice can be administered by a judicial tribunal of five capable citizens.
7. This system will overcome the fallacies
•
in the theory of the petty jury system and ••
will free the judge trom the duty of deciding
on admissibility of evidence to be broug ht
before an ignor ant jury.
In conclusion they presented a plan of jury
trial to take the place of the present one.
Five men , trained in the law and of the highest intelli gence , were to be chosen to serve for
ten years as junior s, and their ages were not
' to be under thirty years old.
The negative team of Bloomsburg, consisting of: Clarence Wolever , rebuttal ; Jack
. Fortner , first speaker and Grace Calender ,
second speaker, submitted the following points
in favor of the present jury system :
1. Time has shown the necessity of a jury
system.
2. Present jury system is not rendering as
it could.
3. It is the best way to adminster justice.
4. Justice could be more effectively rendered if many of the hindrances and evils
were removed.

Mansfield , though losing both debates by a
unanimous vote of the judges , had very fine
speakers , and though their points were not
strong , they spoke very convincingly.
The plan they submitted was that seven
jurors and a jud ge should appoint the judg e
to control the j urors. The j urors, under the
plan , should be trained in a law college for
four year s before being able to act on the jury.
These debates w ere so fine , that Dr. Haas
is in favor of continuing them , and w e may
look forward to more debates in the near future. As Dean Sutliff said , "The debating
spirit is not dead at Bloomsburg; it is only
sleeping."

Student Council
Whether everyone is aware of the fact or
not , the Social Committee is doing some fine
work around the school. Just at present a
sub-committee known as the Dance Property
Committee is trying to have plans for an orchestra stage , to be placed on the bleachers ,
approved. They have been drawn up and
submitted to the Grounds and Building overseer but no estimate has been given. If these
plans are approved much more apace will be
available for social functions in the Gym.
This stage , in all probability, will be large
enough to comfortably seat the faculty, which
will mean still more space.
Every organization who uses the Gym for
social functions will contribute to this enterprise so it will be possible. This committee
is: Tax Davis , chairman , Ruth Sonner and
Miss Maupin.
