MAROON AND GOLD
Dr. Wallace C. Petty, of Pittsburg h, in what proved to be the most
outstanding chapel address of the
current year, brou ght to the College
on Thursday morning a message that
will remain long in the minds of those
who heard him as a most friendly and
positive criticism of modern thinking.
Dr. Petty in his stirring address
gripped the audience as few speakers
have done- From the opening sentence to the last word he uttered he
had the audience under sway of his
magnetic personality—laughing at his
pleasantries or absorbing the pathos
of a serious thoug ht. Dr. Petty announced his subje ct as "The Fine Art
of Thinking ," and cer tainly he proved
himself a master of the art. Although
many of his remarks were disparaging to modern America and critical of
institutions and conventions, he had
no contempt or rancor for existing
conditions. His note of cheerfulness
and optimism was the more remarkable as he knows the unfavorable side
of American thought.
Dr. Petty opened his address with
a description of average American
thinking. He pointed out quite plainly that few of us do any thinking ; we
follow crowds. Not many of us are
willing to put forth the necessary effor t, for thinking is hard to do. Moreover it is a dangerous thing to do. If
we think for ourselves politically, we
arc termed "Bolshevik ;" if wo are
broad-minded religiously, we become
heretics ; if we think openly in matters of education the world proclaims
us "cranks. " Unless we can answer
the following questions in the affirmative we can be sure we have not been
thinking : Am I lonely? Is this thinking difficult ; Is this dangerous '.'
The lecturer explained further that
the college student today does little
thinking. Indeed it is the last thin g
expected of him. It has been a practice among teeming youth. Dr. Petty
declared , to view college as a place
whore thought is untrummeUxl and
criticism tolerated. However , let the
student examine his freedom , a n d he
will iind to his sorrow that his hopes
were unfounded. There is no freedom. America is a game where we
shuffl e prejudices.
The question that confronts us all ,
according to Dr. Petty, is this: "Can

Warman , who played as quarterback in the 1930 team, played every

Even in mid-season , wi t h ten men

Warman is the dependable type

He is, ho w ever , smart in the ways of

Before one of the largest crowds
that has found its way into the Pettibone Gymnasium of Wyoming Seminary for a basketball game since
Bloomsburg State Teachers College
played in Kingston last winter, the
Maroon and Gold on Saturday nigh t
administered one *of the worst defeats ever handed to its arch rival in
a court game in the up-river borough.
The final score was 44 to 21.
The victory was the fourth out of
five games played away from liom-e
and its sixth win out of the seven
games this season. The success of
the road trip, during which all the
games were against first class opponents , has stamped the team as one of .
real power.
Joe Yockabonis and Captain Gordon Wanbaugh were the scoring aces
of Bloomsburg, but they would not
have scored the 33 points they did,
except for the fine passing of their
teammates. On Saturday Bloomsburg was invincible and a basketball
machine which Wyoming was unable
to cope with in any phase of the
game.
Captain Davis, one of the big guns
in the Wyoming team, played practically the whole game and scored only
three points, so well did the Bloomsburg defense, built around "Alex"
Shepela and "Frattkie" Golder,
break up the Seminary attack. Another Seminary boy, Collini by name ,
made only two field goals.
Bloomsburg had a fine crowd of
fans at the game and the Maroon and
Gold cheering section , under the leadership of "Dinty " Thomas , was augmented by alumni supporters so that
the Bloomsburg rooters were as great
in number as those of Seminary.

News Fro m You, About You, For You

HAVE YOU PLANNED WELL ?
Few fail to laugh at the traditional

New Year 's resolutions and perhaps

j ustly so. An individual feels a need ,
a remedy is decided upon and then
success or failure rests upon the wisdom of the plan and the observance
of it. Resolutions are worthless unless they are born of purpose and determination.
. This is not the beginning of a new
year but it is the beginning of a new
semester. It is a time when each studen t should respond to his tasks with
the best that is in him. First, impressions are usually lasting ones.
If a student would do himself j ustice
he would not save his best until last.
So many college students are under
the impression that they can slide
through the first two weeks of a new
semester that it becomes a serious
class problem.
Each student asks himself— does
my schedule provide for my all
around development? If it does not ,
now is the time to correct it, If it
does then mnkc plans to distribu te
your time and interests to the best of
your advantage.

DO YOU AGREE ?
Last Saturday mornin g the Etudonts
allowed their appreci ation in many
ways for the privilege of listening to
the talk given by Dr. Petty. Those
who are in charge of the chapel pro-

1 grams should feel justified in arrang-

, ing for more of such inspiring talks
j by men like him. After "thinking of
thinking," "rearranging our ideas, "
or whatever Dr. Petty would like to
! call it, some students, and perhaps
others than studen ts, came to the
realization that almost all of our
chapel programs this year have been
dire ctly connected with some phase
of the teaching profession. Ours is a
teachers' training school and with
this in mind it is obvious that most of
the chapel work should be along that
line , however , unless we wish to become narrow minded , if not bigoted ,
we should bring in more men like Dr.
Petty from other professions and occupations and get their points of
view on our everchanging world.
Teaching is an important occupation
but it is not the only one. If we are
to get a well rounded outlook on life
that is rightfully ours then we must
hear from representatives of these
other occupations. This can be given
in no other better way than in our
auditorium exercises.

"THE TEACHER LAYS THE
FOUNDATION OF FUTURE"

At a special chapel called January
10, Dr. Stratemeyer, a member of the
Department of Elementary Education
of Columbia University gave a potent
address on education. She opened
her talk by saying our country is in
turmoil , crime and disorder , and the
trouble probably lies with our education. Teachers have responsibility in
seeing that such a situation never
:ises again. Prospective teachers
must learn what is involved in teaching today , wha t will be demanded ten
years from now , and what the needs
of education will be fifty years from
now, for the prospective teacher of
today will lay the foundation of
civilization for fifty years from now.
Psychology, Philosophy and Sociology are necessities for the teacher.
The teacher has new responsibilities;
she mus t have social and religious
training; she must be an intellectual
iwd spiritual leader and not merely
a classroom performer. The work of
a teacher is an ar t and not a trade.
Teachers are educa tional statesmen
and must be prepared to meet all situations , even though ridiculous. If
a child come to you as this one did to
his teacher , you must know what to
do. This small boy refuse d to go to
.school, saying that the teacher was
going to throw him in tho furnace.
Upon investig ation it was f ound that
the teacher said she would drop him
from the register if he did not attend
more regula rly.
A teacher must be a leader , a real
le a der , and must be ready to assume
social responsibilities. A loader may
be deli ned as a person who has ninny
marginal values.
The teacher must be recognize d as
the loader ol! the school. From her
the pupils should learn leadership and
tu'suma the duties thereof , some t imes ,
even i n t ho cl assroo m , but not so
ofte n that they lose confidence in
their teacher.
Leadership involves vision , ability
to see into the future.
Childre n
should learn to select loaders . As
citizens of: the state they will voto.

How will they learn to vote correctly
if they do not learn to pick out leaders in school?
The first essential of a leader is intellectual honesty. That is the leader
must not j ust drift with the group ,
but honestly and tactfully assert differences of opinion.
Five re quirements may be set up
for teachers as social "and intellec tual
leaders. They must have a rich scholastic and cultural background. A
teacher may be ever so willing but
if she has no ability her willingness is
void. They need a knowledge of immediate life problems and of how to
think them through. "Do we think?"
is the big question. They must have
a conception of the purposes of education , and an understandin g of behaviour and growth of children, and
last but not least they must have an
inquiring, creative and constructive
altitude.
These things the prospective teacher can get by taking advantage of all
curricular activities possible ; by making direc t contacts with social life
through Paren t-Teachers Associations , Sunday Schools, Community
surveys and proj ects ; by familiarity
with and use of cultural resources; a
study of the community social problems , and by social activities; and
above all , by loyal ty to the cause of
caching.

SECOND LECTURE OF SERIES
GSVEN BY DR. RAGUEL
On January 9, Dr. George Raguel
gave the second of a series of lectures
in the college chapel on current world
problems. Dr. Raguel is an outstanding lecturer and scholar of world affairs. During his extensive travels
he has established contacts with nearly all governmen ts in both hemispheres , so tha t his j udgments are to
be li.ghly valued.
The present unemployment in the
United States has crea ted an emergency that was undreamed of five
years ago. Presiden t Hoover has attemp ted to meet the situation by laying an economic fo undation similar to
the one laid in Russia duiing the War.
The preside nt's plans, however , have
been g iven no considera tion by Congress. Mr. Hoover is so weak as a
politicia n that he is unable to get any
measures adopte d, despi te the fact
that he is the greatest administrator
n the world.
The legi slative branch of the government today has gone far out of
the category o£ Jaw-making intended
by the founders of the Constitution
and has actually usurped the executive powers. Sooner or later some
change will have to come in this policy.
Three things that Mr. Hoover has
done have given him some political
backing in this section of the country.
First , he appointed Doke Secretary of
Labor. In so doing, he roj acte d
G rceno , of the American Fedei'ation
of Labor, While Greene may have
filled this office, Mr. Hoover proved
that tlio president did not accept dictation from tho Labor Federation in
makin g appointments.
In the second plnce , Mr. Hoover
projec ted tho World Court before the
present Congress. Pressure from

j European coun tries was responsible
j for this. Before disarmamen t can be
accompli shed Europe feels the must
j know the attitude of United States
toward the World Court,
In the third place the four trunk
lines in the East outside New England have formulated a plan of amalgamation. This will involve on the
part of the government not the practice of the old policy of "trust-husting r> but trust management.
The entire policy of trust management is really a socialistic scheme of
private ini tiative with executive control. Russia introduced this as a new
economic interpretation , bu t as a matter of fact it actually originated in
the United States.
Tn China there are millions of hun
gry people at the present time. The
United States is cultivating China
as a market for her surplus food products with the hope that she will develop into an even more val uable
' rade asset.
Spain and Rumania are virtually
American colonies economically. Into
the backward nation of Spain have
been introduce d modern scientific inventions until she is fast becoming
Americanized , and of course dependent on United States for her supplies.
Rumania 's greatest wealth comes
from her oil wells, which are controlled by the United States.
Russia must be recognized by the
United States, because not to do so is
dangerous. At the present time the
Russians are undergoing hardships in
order to become established economically. They desire the friendship and
coopera tion of United States. If the
United States ignores this Russia will
some day hold the economic supremacy which she now enj oys.

COLLEGE VARSITY WINS
COLLEGE STUDENTS
FOUR OUT OF FIVE GAMES
PROVIDE TREA T
Bloomsburg defeated the Indiana
State Teachers College basketball five
at Indiana by the score of 24 to 23.
The score is not a measure of our
boys ' supremacy over Indiana. Both
teams played a fine defensive game,
bu t only the frequent shots missed by
our team kept the score close. Wanbaugh played a great, whole-hearted
game and was a big factor in winning
the contest.
The next day the team moved over
to California and defeated them decisively to a tune of 42-30. Yock
started on his scoring spree after two
weeks ' interruption due to an infected foo t. The team worked well both
offensively and defensively, as the
score indicates.
Shippensburg was completely lost
when BJoonisburg broke loose on the
Shippensburg floor. In the preliminary game the Jay-Vees—Junior Varsity—defeated the Shippensburg JayVgg§, easily, 26-17. In the varsity
game our boys passed the ball around
superbly. It was no individual , but
the whole team that was responsible
for the fif th straight victory.
At Stroudsburg the winds tore
loose and , when the game was over,
our boys found themselves in the
lurch , 41 to 29. The game was close
until Wanbaugh was disqualified
from the game by the personal-foul
route in the early part of the third
quarter.

i The annual college night of the
I Rotary-Knvanis clubs was held at
Bloomsburg 1 on Thursday, January 8,
1931.
While the orchestra played a stirring march, more than 400 guests entered the college dining room.
President R. G. Buckalew of the
Kiwanis Club, and president H. Mont.
Smith of the Rotary Club , jointly
presided and Miss Harriet Moore led
in spirited singing. The college orchestra under the direction of Prof.
Howard Fenstemaker, provided a delightful program of music.
After a delicious dinner was served the undivided attention of the
guests was held by Dr. John L. Davis
of New York, a humorist who declared that his mission of the evening was
to drive away depression.
Dr. Davis held the rapt attention
of his audience for an hour and closed the trend of serious thought that
had been woven through his humor
with the declaration that, "He lives
most who thinks most , acts nobles t
and lives the best."
At the close of the program in the
dining- room , students of the college
presented music and a one-act play in
the auditori um. This part of the
evening's entertainment closed with
music by the new college band under
the able direction of Prof. Fenstemaker. All comment was favorable,
and the general consensus of opinion
was that it was the best program that
had ever been given by the college.

THE RENAISSANCE OF
EDUCATI ON IN CHILE
The advance made during the educational renaissance in Chile was related in the college auditorium Friday
evening, January 16, by Dr. Lucy L.
W. Wilson , principal of the S«utb
Philadelphia High School for Girls,
in an address given under the auspices of the local branch of the American Association of University Women.
Dr. Kehr welcomed the guests of
the Association, explained its purposes, and briefl y told the plans of the
Branch. Mrs. Artlmr, of the WilkesBarre Branch, gave greetings from
that Branch. Dr. Garwood , superintendent of the Bloomsburg public
schools , introduced the speaker.
Before speaking of the renaissance,
Dr. Wilson briefly told the connection of the A. A. U. W. with Chilean
educa tion. Through that Association
four young Chilean women are securing an advanced education in the
United States.
Abou t a half century ago Chite became very wealthy from the sale of
nitrates extracted from the soil. A
large proportion of this wealth was
used for the establishment and maintenance of schools and colleges for
the upper classes only , since universal education was still believed to be
impracticable. Representatives were
sent to countries advanced in education to study the school systems there
and bring back the best to incorporate in the Chilean system: All the
wealth necessary, together with the
power to establish institutions conforming to their views, was given
these representatives upon returning.
Under this plan a fine system of
educa tion was being evolved until the
process of extracting nitrate from the
air was commerciali zed in several
other countries. Then an unemploymen t si t ua t ion occurred , which resulted in an uprising of the unemployed
during the administration of a socialist president. Old age pensions, unemployment insurance, and compulsory educa tion of the masses were established. Experimental schools were
begun. Normal schools similar to
ours have been started.
As yet compulsory education extends only through the elementary
grades. One leader stated that only
when the standard of living reaches a
high er level will compulsory education extend through the high school.

DR. WALLACE C. PET TY
DELIVERS CHAPEL ADDRESS
Continued From Page One
we learn to think?" In answering this
question we must remember that true
culture, true thinking, come from the
inside out. Dr. Petty called attention
to the fact that two years ago, when
the thinking men of America predicted that a financial depression was imminent , a j argon of protesting voices
denounced the men as pessimists and
alarmists. He reiterated his statement that it is dangerous to think.
One of Dr. Petty 's strongest statements was pregnan t with warning:
"America doesn 't think, or else America does not believe what she says she
thinks."
The speaker had a word of encouragement for the youth of today who
are seeking new frontiers. There are
more frontiers in America today than
there ever were ; frontiers in science,
in medicine , in social service, in international fellowship .
Dr. Petty reached the depth of his
message and interpre tation of American though t when he said these
words :
"There is no equality in opportunity. There is no equality in war, in
govern ment , in educa tion. We do not
wan t equality . We want to be sui'e
t ha t what w e are , counts , not who we
