Miss Lois J. Elder Describes the
Strange Customs of Persian
Peop le; Outl ines Work of Foreign Mission.
In the assembly hour on April 24,
Miss Lois J. Elder, member of the
Forei gn Mission Student Volunteer
Movemen t, sponsored by the National
Y. W. C. A., spoke pleasingly of her
contacts with peoples in remote parts
of t he world , arid delighted the student body especially with her experiences in Persia. Miss Elder was the
guest of the local Y. W. C. A. Chapter , and during the day made many
friends at the College.
Quoting a biblical reference to
prove the antiquity of Eastern customs, Miss Elder recoun ted her experiences with many of the prevailing traditions of that strange people.
One of the first Persian phrases she
learned , she said , was t he t radi t ional
salu tation of that language : "Sawyeh
Shemah Can Neme Shevad. " Transla t ed , it means , "Your shadow, may
it never grow less." This phrase has
its counter statement in the Bible,
where it has refere n ce t o Pe t er 's
shadow falling on the sick, healing
their infirmities and radiating goodness. This biblical connotation is a
fair meaning of tlie modern usage
of the term.
Strange to say, the Persians have
a contempt for American ways. The
natives believe Americans taint
everything they touch. They believe
our shadow is poison to them if it
chances to fall upon their body. Most
of their customs arise from their
Mohammedan religion, said Miss
Elder.
Miss Elder related an amusing incident that arose when an American
girl and a Persian native found themselves confronting each other on a
narrow path made of stones protruding above tho mire of the rain-soaked streets of one of Persia 's villages.
It was necessary for one of the two
to step aside into the mud to let the
other pass. Had both been natives
of Persia, the girl would have given
way to the man , because women in
Persia enj oy vory few privileges.
However , knowing tho disposition of
tho average American lady, the Persian gentleman stopped aside into tho
mire to let this ono keep her skirts
chaste.

Evening, " "The Stoker ," to be
Presented Under Student Direction.
At five o 'clock Saturday afternoon
the members of Phi Sigma Pi met in
North Hall Lobby, whence they jour neyed to Hotel Kocher, Light Street,
to celebrate their first anniversary
by a "Founders Day Banquet. " And
what a banquet it was Dish after
dish of chicken and waffles and all
side dishes were brought on and consumed with gusto.
When every one was so completely
filled that he was forced to quit,
Presiden t Oliver Krapf introduced
Mr. W. H. Bristow, Director of the
Eastern District, who expressed his
pleasure at being present and at the
progress which the fraternity has
made in a year. He congratulated

which their representative, Clarence
Hunsicker , played in the recent convention at Detroit. Mr. C. O. Williams, National Secretary, w as t hen

outlined the achievements of the fraternity since its early beginnings in
1916. He was a charter member of
the Adpha Chapter at the State
Teachers College, Warrensburg, Missouri. He made each fello w present
feel proud to be a member of such a
worthwhile and growing organization.
Superin tendent Evans, the third educator to be taken into the fraternity
as Honorary Members, came in abou t

detained. Dr. Haas was then called

evening, Mr. Henry Klonower, Director of the Teachers Certification Bureau at Harrisburg.
Dr. Haas told of some of the good
old times that he and Mr. Klonower
had together as teachers in their Alma Mater, the Philadelphia School
of Pedagogy, and as co-workers in
different divisions of the State Department of Public Instruction. First,
Mr . Klonower told of the large part
Dr. Haas has had in raising the
standards of the teachers in service
to their present level , from 9,000
teachers without normal school
training in 1909 to only 116 today.
Now our teacher training department
ranks on a par with any in the country, due largely to the efforts of Dr.
Haas. Throughout his speech Mr.
Klonower stressed the importance of
the teaching profession and the responsibility resting on the teacher in
molding the lives of the pupils coming under his influence.

Shippensburg won a free-hitting
baseball game over Bloomsburg Wednesday afternoon , April 22 , by the
decisive score of 12-6. The game was
played under conditions of intermi tt en t rain , cold winds and cloudy
skies ; in t he eighth inning the game
ended when a driving rain began.
Slaybaug h and Creveling were
both hit hard in the first six innings,
but the Shippensburg twirler tightened up in the remaining innings to
hold Bloomsburg to two hits. Creveling lef t the box in the sixth, yielding to Valente , who did no t seem t o
be effec tive either. Slominski and
Sekulski followed Valente, but they
were hit hard as their predecessors.
The sixth and eighth innings were
the big innings for Shippensburg.
Nine runs were scored in these two
frames.
"Jimmy " Davis took the batting
honors for the day with three hits,
a homer and two singles. Rudowski
drove the longest of the four home
runs; the ball was hit far ' over t he
lef t field fence , accounting for two "
Bloomsburg runs.
The local team did not seem to be
at its best in fielding, for t hree runs
were scored on errors.
This is the first victory which Shippensburg holds over Bloomsburg in
its athletic endeavors, bu t the day
was not blue for Bloomsburg in that
the tennis team soundly trounced
the Shippensburg net team and evened things up.
Tomorrow af ternoon the baseball
team journeys to Mansfield to play
the up-state college. A much-improved Bloomsburg attack is expected.

NATtON-WIDE TREND
EN GUIDANCE OF FUTU RE
Talk precedes action. One method
of ascertaining trends and predicting
the futur e is to discover what people are talking abou t, and particularly what are the subjects upon
which they disagree.
There are two conflicting trends in
the matter of who shall do guidance
work. Some people insist that all
kinds of guidance , social , et hical , recreational , heal th , civic, etc., as well
as educa t i onal and voca t ional , should
be given by the same person , and that
this person should be the classroom
or homeroom teacher.
Another
group insists that effective work in
educational and vocational guidance
can be done only by professi onally
t rained couns elors , who give their entire time to this work .
Two other trends deal with the attempt to make guidance more scientific. There are those who would increase the attention now being given
to aptitude tests and cumulative recor ds, permitting vocational guidance
to be given only by fully trained
co un sel o rs , working on an individual
clinical basis. At the same time, others are throwing out elaborate systems of cumulative records and depending more and more upon the giving of information about occupations.—Robei't Hoppock , Field Secretary, National Vocation Guidance

Miss Lois J. Elder Describes the
Strange Customs of Persian
Peop le; Outl ines Work of Foreign Mission.
In the assembly hour on April 24,
Miss Lois J. Elder, member of the
Forei gn Mission Student Volunteer
Movemen t, sponsored by the National
Y. W. C. A., spoke pleasingly of her
contacts with peoples in remote parts
of t he world , arid delighted the student body especially with her experiences in Persia. Miss Elder was the
guest of the local Y. W. C. A. Chapter , and during the day made many
friends at the College.
Quoting a biblical reference to
prove the antiquity of Eastern customs, Miss Elder recoun ted her experiences with many of the prevailing traditions of that strange people.
One of the first Persian phrases she
learned , she said , was t he t radi t ional
salu tation of that language : "Sawyeh
Shemah Can Neme Shevad. " Transla t ed , it means , "Your shadow, may
it never grow less." This phrase has
its counter statement in the Bible,
where it has refere n ce t o Pe t er 's
shadow falling on the sick, healing
their infirmities and radiating goodness. This biblical connotation is a
fair meaning of tlie modern usage
of the term.
Strange to say, the Persians have
a contempt for American ways. The
natives believe Americans taint
everything they touch. They believe
our shadow is poison to them if it
chances to fall upon their body. Most
of their customs arise from their
Mohammedan religion, said Miss
Elder.
Miss Elder related an amusing incident that arose when an American
girl and a Persian native found themselves confronting each other on a
narrow path made of stones protruding above tho mire of the rain-soaked streets of one of Persia 's villages.
It was necessary for one of the two
to step aside into the mud to let the
other pass. Had both been natives
of Persia, the girl would have given
way to the man , because women in
Persia enj oy vory few privileges.
However , knowing tho disposition of
tho average American lady, the Persian gentleman stopped aside into tho
mire to let this ono keep her skirts
chaste.

easier to do this than to prepare and

The program of the Geographic Society was well presented and was interesting to the students; a good example of what can be done when an

evening, Mr. Henry Klonower, Director of the Teachers Certification Bureau at Harrisburg.
Dr. Haas told of some of the good
old times that he and Mr. Klonower
had together as teachers in their Alma Mater, the Philadelphia School
of Pedagogy, and as co-workers in
different divisions of the State Department of Public Instruction. First,
Mr . Klonower told of the large part
Dr. Haas has had in raising the
standards of the teachers in service
to their present level , from 9,000
teachers without normal school
training in 1909 to only 116 today.
Now our teacher training department
ranks on a par with any in the country, due largely to the efforts of Dr.
Haas. Throughout his speech Mr.
Klonower stressed the importance of
the teaching profession and the responsibility resting on the teacher in
molding the lives of the pupils coming under his influence.

Shippensburg won a free-hitting
baseball game over Bloomsburg Wednesday afternoon , April 22 , by the
decisive score of 12-6. The game was
played under conditions of intermi tt en t rain , cold winds and cloudy
skies ; in t he eighth inning the game
ended when a driving rain began.
Slaybaug h and Creveling were
both hit hard in the first six innings,
but the Shippensburg twirler tightened up in the remaining innings to
hold Bloomsburg to two hits. Creveling lef t the box in the sixth, yielding to Valente , who did no t seem t o
be effec tive either. Slominski and
Sekulski followed Valente, but they
were hit hard as their predecessors.
The sixth and eighth innings were
the big innings for Shippensburg.
Nine runs were scored in these two
frames.
"Jimmy " Davis took the batting
honors for the day with three hits,
a homer and two singles. Rudowski
drove the longest of the four home
runs; the ball was hit far ' over t he
lef t field fence , accounting for two "
Bloomsburg runs.
The local team did not seem to be
at its best in fielding, for t hree runs
were scored on errors.
This is the first victory which Shippensburg holds over Bloomsburg in
its athletic endeavors, bu t the day
was not blue for Bloomsburg in that
the tennis team soundly trounced
the Shippensburg net team and evened things up.
Tomorrow af ternoon the baseball
team journeys to Mansfield to play
the up-state college. A much-improved Bloomsburg attack is expected.

The 1931 Obi ters will be delivered
abou t May 15, it was learned today.
This year 's edition of the annual includes many changes in make-up and
organiza tion of material and will
rank with any of the small college
annuals. The Gleeman theme has
been carried out in detail, the staff
feeling that the life of these wandering- minstrels was symbolical of our
life today , our deeds and our
triumphs.
Seniors who wish to pay for their
Obiters now may do so. The price
has been officially placed at $6.50
and by paying the fee now will save
considerable time and trouble when
the books are received. It will be
possible for Seniors to receive a book
on presentation of a receipt for the
total payment. Undoub tedly there
will be confusion in giving out the
books and this suggestion should be
kept in mind.

NATtON-WIDE TREND
EN GUIDANCE OF FUTU RE
Talk precedes action. One method
of ascertaining trends and predicting
the futur e is to discover what people are talking abou t, and particularly what are the subjects upon
which they disagree.
There are two conflicting trends in
the matter of who shall do guidance
work. Some people insist that all
kinds of guidance , social , et hical , recreational , heal th , civic, etc., as well
as educa t i onal and voca t ional , should
be given by the same person , and that
this person should be the classroom
or homeroom teacher.
Another
group insists that effective work in
educational and vocational guidance
can be done only by professi onally
t rained couns elors , who give their entire time to this work .
Two other trends deal with the attempt to make guidance more scientific. There are those who would increase the attention now being given
to aptitude tests and cumulative recor ds, permitting vocational guidance
to be given only by fully trained
co un sel o rs , working on an individual
clinical basis. At the same time, others are throwing out elaborate systems of cumulative records and depending more and more upon the giving of information about occupations.—Robei't Hoppock , Field Secretary, National Vocation Guidance
Association , New York City.
