Pa ul Whitme yer Outlines Relation
Between Teacher and Public
During Assembly Per iod.
Paul Whitmeyer , superintendent of
schools, Shamokin , brought a message
of vital importance to the student
body, when he spoke in chapel , December 8, on the topic, "The Relation That Should Exist Between
Teachers and the Public. "
The State , according to Mr. Whitmeyer, requires certain fundamental
obli gations from teachers. First of
all, the public demands that teachers
have the temper mental, physical, and
intellectual qualities that fit them to
be effective Leaders of child growth.
Another demand important in more
ways than one, requires that teachers
must have a general love for children. Without sympathy, the teacher
is barren. The public also demands
that the teachers of its children must
know thoroughly the subject matter
^
.^itt'their chdsen fields.
' On the other hand , Mr. Whitmeyer
declared , teachers are demanding
certain things from the public.
Teachers are insisting upon a living
salary, one that enables them to live
in respectable society and that gives
them opportunity for advancement in
education and their profession.

A FAMOUS MAN ONCE SAID :
My countr y owes me nothing. It
gave me, as it gave every boy and
girl , a chance. It gave me schooling, independence of action , opportunity for service and honor. In
no other land could a boy from a
country village, without inheritance or influential friends, look
forward with unbounded hope .
My whole life has taught me
what America means. I am indebted to my countr y beyond any human power to repay. It conferred
upon me the mission to administer
America 's respons-e to the appeal
of afflicted nations during the war,
It has called me into the Cabinets
of two Presidents. By these experiences I have observed the burdens and responsibilities of the
greatest ofllce in the world. That
office touches the happiness of
every homo. It deals with the
peace of nations. No man could
think of It except in terms of solemn consecration.
—Herbert Hoover.

The Senior class will entertain us
¦tonight with their annual play, "The
Copperhead. " The play was written
by Augustus Thomas. The fact that
the plot is divided into two epics—
The Civil War Period and Modern
Times, makes it unusually interesting. The name of the play is the
term which was used to apply to
Northern men who sympathized with
the South during the Civil War. It
shows "how war-time hatred may be
carried over into future generations.
Picturesque stage sets and costumes cleverly portray Civil War
time—then forty years elapse and
modern scenes are linked on to conclude the unique plot.

fac ts is bringing about greater understanding.
Such questions as: "Is there anything questionable about the way in
which we acquired the Panama Canal
Zone?" and "Do you think the right
of normal adul ts to vote should ever
be limi ted?" are typical.
In schools pupils are being directed to make a study of their local community , to take excusions to its activity centers, to carry on library proj ects, to utilize their own home resources , and to study intelligently
current topics. To teach a class of
this type is more difficult than to
hear recitations of dates, so that it is
being adopted conservatively.
The par ticipation by pupils in civic
duties as an extra-curricular activi ty
under the guidance of a teacher helps
the pupil to realize that he is part of
a group and the whole problem is
after all one of develop ing largesroup consciousness.
Merely to find one 's self a passive
member of a group is not enough. A
member of a college who does not
participate actively in its affairs remains cold , aloof , unsympa thetic. He
does not fuse with the group. Col*
lege spirit cannot grow in such soil.
The principle is of universal application. The man wheis passively a
citizen of a nation and of the group,
will never attain any vital conscieusness of membership in the group.
To resume our example , a college
student may develop a large degree
of college spirit and yet actually see
and in the flesh perform bu t a very
small portion of the common action.
He may enter in to it all through participating in imagination as he reads
the curren t happenings in the college
paper. So it is with the individual to
the nation and the world. The child
enters into the nation 's activiti es
through reading whereas he performs
bu t a very small part. Yet he is
taugh t the economic , social and political significance of his own small
uni t in the solidarity, of the whole,.
It is every day illustrated to him on a
small scale by group projec ts which
he helps car ry on.
The youngest school child participates in group activities where others
have rights equal to his own. He
must learn to get along in his surroundings. Th us while we do not introduce to him weighty national and
in ternational problems we prepare
hi m to meet these by teaching him to
mee t situations as they arise.
Only by havi ng the child relive the
experiences of the nation ; the struggle of the people ; the growth of the
institutions , and by having him meet
arising problems can we make him a
patriotic citizen.
In study the child must read from
some definite viewpoint or he cannot
relive experiences. More and more
schools arc allowing him to read from
the viewpoint of some other nation
so that he can sympathetically understand its action.
Just as nationalism tempers the
spirit of strife that tends to arise
within the nation , so internationalism
is tempering the analogous spirit of
strife that tends to ariso among membors of the planetary group. It is
this nntional and international consciousness that the schools are helping to foster.

What Other Colleges Are Doing

DR. GARWOOD TO SPEAK
ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON

Bicycles are used in some American universities where students
are forbidden to have automobiles. Bicycle racks for parking have
been provided in these colleges and many students are adopting this
means of locomo tion. Manufacturers of bicycles say there has never
been such a demand for bicycles since 1910 and they are planning a
bicycle show this winter.

"What 's In It For Me ?" Will be the
Subj ect of His Talk.

The Western State Teachers College of Kentucky does not like
the appearance of a huge water tank which improved the water
works but did not add to the beauty of College Heights. For this
reason they are planning to build a memorial tower around the tank
and to make it rise many feet above the tank. A circular stairway,
leading to the top will permit visitors to enjoy a better view of the
surrounding country. A brilliant light at the top is to serve as a
beacon for airplanes. Near the top will be ,a carillon that will be
heard for many miles. There will be a clock with four electrically
lighte d faces. Foun tains and walkways will be placed at the base.
What an improvement this will be over the tank that can be seen for
miles and fails to harmonize with the artistic balance of the other
buildings !
The classes in Contemporary Poetry and Modern Novel will no
doubt be interested to know that John Erskine, the noted author,
took part in the Bimillinium Anniversary of Virg il at Bethlehem , Pa.

talked to an audience which filled the Packard auditorium. At the
end of his speech thunderous applause testified to the popularity of ,
the speaker and the speech.

THE IDEAL ROOMM ATE
"Roomie , are you going out tonight? If you are, my suit just
came back from the cleaners, help
yourself. The last time you wore it
you soiled it with grass stains, but
the tailor fixed it and it only cost a
dollar. There are plenty of cigarettes
in the pockets. Oh, by the way, I
j ust bought a new tie that will go
nicely with it. You can wear it if
you like. I just sent down for some
shoe cleaner and as soon as it arrives I will clean that pair of shoes
for you. I meant to clean up the
room this week , but did no t have
time. Ah, don 't worry old man, I'll
clean it up before you get back. As
you go down the street stop at the
white house nex t to t he feed st ore
and get my date. Here are the tickets
to go to the Country Club. Well,
you are j ust abou t ready to go, but
first you must take this five with you ,
for you may run short. I am having
the garage man send the car up. I
hope he filled the tank for you.
Good-night, old pal. Have a good
time.
