Prof . Keller Delights College
Fratern ity, To Organize Saturday
With Story of "Lobo"
Gives Startling Proof of Friendships Between Man and Beasts ;
Tells of Domesticated Wolf and
Bear.

"Stands our College, dear to students "

Those who heard our own Prof.
Keller last Monday in his entertaining chronicle of animal friendships—
man for beast ; beast for man—an d
responded to the charm of his dramatic power cannot fail to appreciate
the fact that our chapel programs are
getting better and better.
With the possible exception of Dr.
Petty, no speaker has warmed the
student body to as high appreciation
of the potency and magnitism of the
human voice as did Prof. Keller in
his brave confessions as a lover of

animal life. We of callous nature
feel a twinge of regret when we think
of our narrowness in contrast with
the primal felicity that distinguishes
Prof. Keller 's understanding of natural life. To those who never have
had love for the denizens of the wild
the talk came as a pleasant surprise.
After a clever in t roduct ion tha t
hinted of t he tex t t o follow , Prof.
Keller with the aid of slides brought
to the minds of the students the story
of "Lobo ," the wolf that he had reclaimed from native savagery. In
somewhat of a heightened tone, he
told how he took the young wolf cub,
a very dog-like creature with its savagery still dormant , in t o his love and
protection ; how he tried to curb the
wolf' s na t u r al inst inc t s and ins t ill in
their stead a friendship for man—
the Wolf' s et ern a l enemy ; ho w t he
young wolf grew up to be very amic able , yet always cautious in the
presence of Prof. Keller, his mast er ;
how Lobo became the fond pet of
everyone on the college campus; how
Lobo successfully played the role of
wolf in the dramatized story, "Little
Red Riding Hood ," and as a consequence became widely advertised
throughout Pennsylvania, bringing
fame to his master; how like a human , the wolf cherished a faithful
love for his mate ; and , how when she
was taken from him and sold, he pined away—turned from his master
who had betrayed him and for whom
ho had renounced his native wilderness—and , in the frenzy of venjy ence, assumed his heritage of ferocity, and with consummate precision
slew one of the hated man 's doga ;
finally, how with a laden heart the
master was forced to kill the once
loving Lobo, the pride of the college,
the challenge of domestication.

Kappa Delta Pi is a national honorary educa tional fraternity.
Its
purpose is to foster high professionperiod of prepara tion for teaching
al and scholarship standards during a
and to recognize outstanding service
in the field of education. To this end
it maintains the highest educational
ideals and fosters fellowship, scholarship and achievement in educational work. Membership consists of
Juniors and Seniors , bo t h men and
women , with general scholarship requiremen ts of a grade in the upper
quar tile of the institution and the
completion of at least six semester
hours of work in education for Jun.iors and twelve for Seniors. It is
both a graduate and undergraduate
fraternity and has the unique distinction of a laureate chapter composed of ou tstanding educators
throughout the world, the intention
being to make this in essence an academy of education similar to the academy of science or the academy of
fine letters. To date the number of
laureates is near twenty-nvo. There
are seventy-four active chaptei's.
A convocation of the fraternity
meets biennially. A quarterly, The
Kadelphian Review, is published at
Men ash a, Wisconsin. The key is a
scroll and stylus.
Kappa Delta Pi grew out of a local
society, the Illinois Education Club ,
founded at the- University of Illinois
in 1909. Later, June 8, 1911, it was
incorporated under the laws of the
state of Illinois as the honorary educational fraternity, Kappa Delta Pi.

In this age when we are endeavoring to become educational -minded ,

it might also be worth while to make

They take classes here , they .stay in
the dormitory , bu t are livin g back

a problem in psychology or some
other curricular subject , are deeply
involved in Old-IIome-Town affairs.
When the lust class is over on Saturday they hurriedly leave the campus
only to return on Sunday evening, or
in time for class on Monday morning.
The saddest part of all is that these
people do no t realize that one of the

SNOWFALL IN THE CITY
Soft, white, glistening snow
Covers the sleeping land
Gently it falls, forms a blanket
as yet
Untouched by a human hand.
Golden red sun illumines the earth
The snow now ceases to fall.
Bright diamonds dance and catch
the sun 's rays
As morn reveals beauty to all.
Low spreading branches covered
with snow
No longer bare, brown and old ;
Housetops all white with the beautiful gift.
The scene portrays beauty untold.
Whistles, horns, voices—people
awake.
The snow is soon soiled by the
smoke ;
Cars make unlovely marks in the
white,
'Twas beauty—'till people awoke.
—Miriam Hartt.

FROM THE ART DEPARTMENT

PARTIES HELD IN THE
TRAINING SCHOOL

On Friday , February 13, the training school children celebrated St.
Valentines Day. All the grades had
their parties after which they heard
an interesting talk about animals
given by Mr. George Keller in the
auditorium. The grades have made
many original and attractive valentines during the past week.
The second grade, under the supervision of Miss Moyer, has undertaken a "mail project " which holds
educational merit. After a trip to
Bloomsburg's railway station where
they watched how the mail was
brought in , the second grade visited
the town post office where valuable
information concerning the regulation of our mail system was given.
Miss Eyerly later explained to the
pupils the handling of our mail in
the College Post Office. After this
the children actually experienced
what they had seen by having a rural
and a town mailbox in their school
room in which they deposited their
letters and valentines. After they
elected their postman, who took his
place behind the barred window of
their post office , he appointed mailmen who distributed the letters and
valentines through the different
"street rows. "
The children in the sixth grade
wrote letters to Admiral Byrd , with
the understanding that the best letter should be sent. Fred Gilmore 's
letter was considered the best and
was mailed on February 1.

THE RURAL LIFE CLUB
DISCUSS TRANSPORTATION
The Rural Life Club has been doing
some splendid work in discussing
problems of rural life and workin g
out helps for the teacher in the solution of those problems.
Thursday, Februay 12, Miss Bangs
discussed Transporta tion to and from
the Rural Schools. She said , "transportation has been a great hold-up in
consolida ting rura l schools. " Years
ago children were taken to and from
school in ox-carts. In the winter it
was impossible to get the children to
school. Today , in many places children are taken to school in all kinds
of weather by buses. These buses
must be well ventilated , well lighted
and weather-proof , and driven by a
driver who can be relied upon. Less
time is spent on the road and more
time at home. The children can help
with the chores about the farm in the
morning and evening.
Miss Fahringer sent the members
away feeling happy by telling joke s
about some of the members of the
club.

Miss Harriet Moore of our faculty

and worthwhile. A large attendance

PHILOSOPHY CLUB NEWS

DANCE CANCELLED

The newly organized Philosophy
Club is having some in teresting times.
Dr. Kehr is discussing and explaining
some of the problems of life. Visitors are always welcome and so if
Life is too much of a mystery , come
and help solve it in Room J at 4:10
on-Tuesday.
Some of the problems brought up
for discussion are : The Nature of
God , of man , of the universe ; the relation of man to God of man to man ,
or man to the universe ; the purpose
of life and how to be happy in life ;
as well as the problems of thinking,
reasoning and logic.
The two kinds of reasoning were
discussed and some amusing illustrations of some people 's reasoning given , such as:
"All men are liars ; Mary is a liar ;
therefore, Mary is a man. "
"Nothing is better than bread ;
empty space is nothing ; therefore,
emp ty space is better than bread. "

Many students note with regret
that the cabaret dance which was to
have been sponsored by the Y. W. C.
A. of the College has been defini tely
called off. A combina tion of circumstances made it necessary for the
girls to cancel all arrangements that
had been made for the evening and
give up all hopes of handling the
event at this time. They believe,
however , t ha t at a more favorable
da t e , later in the year, they may be
able to handle the dance under more
favorable conditions. The event is
one of the most enjoyable on the
school calendar , and should not be
eliminated unless absolu tely necessary.
