This morning we have a special
treat for our enemies and creditors.
Have you ever heard tell of the poem
or song which has been barred from
Hungary because of its effect on
people's minds? Quite a few people,
af ter reading it, have co m mitt ed

it wise to bar it. Only recently a
young boy in this country, af ter reading it, hung himself, and a t present
one of the Congressmen is attempting to have it barred in this country.
(No foolin ' now, we can show you
the newspaper articles telling of all
this) Now, will all our enemies go

Dear Editor:
I wrote this letter only after
waiting a week or more in vain jo y
someone else to writ e it. It concerns
discifline — a term with which all
teachers and prospective teachers arc
quite familiar. And it is presented
for publication with the hope of reminding students of — well, whatever it docs remind them of.
To be brief, a person may not
rightly consider himself educated until
he has mastered the art of listening.
Listening is such a big task in itself
that the person who lias mastered the
art is usually unable to combine it
with such conscious motor activities
why don 't yon as editor of the stuas talking.
To be even more to the point,
dent paper, put students to shame by
rcmindinii some of Idem that they
should adap t their behavior to current
situations. Even an audience .can
make or break a progra m. Often the
worth and value of a progra m are
determined by the spirit of mind of
those in the audience.
You lake it up from this point
yourself .
Very truly yours,
II, P, D.

In which an editor answers his
own letter:
Mr, 11. P.n.

Correspondent

Dear S ir

1 thoroughly agree .with yon,
Your use of the words "d iscip l ine,"
"behavior, " " au dience," an d "listening " leave little f o r me to add, .How
ever, I am not in the mood to write
an editorial but shall p ublish your
letter, The value, I' m sure , lies in
t h e rea d er 's ability to read between
the lines.
Yours tru ly,

Students turned out in largo numbers for the first dance sponsored by
the class of 1030, the annual Freshman Hop, hold in tho gymnasium last
Saturday evening, Apri l 18. Music
for the danco was furnished by George
Rohdo and his band, from Hazleton.
The gymnasium was decorated in

Students from tho Orangoville
High School presented a comic opperetta, "Bits of Blarney, " before a
Bloomsburff State Teachers College
audience, last Friday morning, April

member of tho faculty at Orangovlllo ,
and alumnus of tho College. Pian o
accompaniment was by Mrs, John
Yost.

For over a decade commercial cont es t s a m ong the p u blic high schools
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania ha v e been spo n sored 'by on e of two
State Teachers Colleges. At first the
St a t e Teachers College a t India n a ,
Pennsylvania , p rovided an opportunity for students of business subjects
to meet each spring for contests in
bookkeeping, shorthand , and typewriting. With the establishment of
commercial teacher training work in
the State Teachers College at Bloomsburg, the first contest was held in
1931. On May 2, 1936 the Sixth Annual Pennsylvania Commercial Contest will be held. The subjects tested
are : Gregg shor thand , bookkeeping,
typewriting, business . arithmetic, and
business law.
Based on this brief review of contest history in 'Pennsylvania, a retrospective view reveals certain positive outcomes favorable to the progressive movements in the field of
education, for business.
Since there is no rigid ou t line,
course of study, syllabus or control
of the con t en t of vari ous firs t and
second year courses, our present contest examinations presume that students have two* or more years of
trainin g in such skill subjects as
bookkeeping, shorthand , and typewriting. This also avoids certain
eligibility and entry misunderstandings which may arise. The line between first and second year content
is always a wavering one. In a measure a test based on two year 's work
avoids the tutoring of students over
a period of one year by a particular
teacher to the neglect of the other
less promising members of the class.
If t u t oring is done , it must 'be for a
prolonged period of two or more
years. Such a policy tests the juniors
or seniors at a time nearer their
leaving school for a job. In so far
as possible, contests should test the
finished or end product.
By restricting the numbers of students entering the contests, typewriter-transcription in the Shorthand
Contest is possible. The letter or
other message in typewritten form is
the outcome expected by the business
man. This approaches the ideal of
the "testing-as Jbusiness tests." This
test device encourages more shorthand classes throughout the schools
of Pennsylvania to meet in rooms
where typewriters are available.

Waller Hall News

The House Committee of Waller
Hall have announced the "Three-Star
Rooms " of the dormitory. They are
three in number. Their occupants are
456-Sally Davis and Marion Sudimak ;
312^Regina Walukiewlcz; 375-Jessie
Webber.
Waller Hall has had three judglngs
this year. On October 17, they were
judg ed by members of the House
Oommitteo, all students, and by a
committee of faculty. On March 23,
thay were judged by a committee of
the American Association of University Women of the Bloomsburgr Chapter.
The above mentioned rooms wore
judge d attractive rooms toy all three
committees. They were judged on the
basis of: (1) color scheme ; (2)
arrangement of furn iture} (8) neatness; (4) appropriateness—-Is it tho
type of room for a college dormitory ?;
(5) originality ; (G) special features.
All rooms judged attractive :by any
committee rocoivo a star for tholr
doors.

As commercial curriculums are devoting more time to subj ects other
than bookkeeping, shorthand, and
typewriting, the attempt to enlarge
the scope of contest events resulted
in the inclusion of business arithmetic and business and business law.
Contests follow the lead of the curriculum. Other commercial subjects
become contest events when they
create enough interest to warrant
their addition to the -present list of
five.
To avoid making a school award as
the result of the excellent performance of one, two, or three "super"
student s , this year we permit a student to participate in only one event.
Each high school may enter as many
students as there are contest events.
A cross-section of at least five students from a particular high school
is the basis f or making a school
award in the form of a silver loving
cup.
Too many teachers of commercial
subjects are teachers of shorthand,
(frequently of a particular system),
teachers of bookkeeping, teachers of
typewriting, and lack the broad point
of view necessary to be called commercial teachers, since their int eres t s
do not extend beyond one or two subjects in the curriculum. The contest
award to the school from which they
come encourages departmental cooperation and sympathy. This is a
most valuable outcome.
Since a specified course content is
not prescribed and enf orced by st a t e
authority, the sample contest examinations have brien mailed in large numbers. These serve to give an approximate idea of the content of the various commercial subjects. This is indirect supervision for those persons
who, in many cases, have no source of
information as to the content of
courses other than the material contained in the particular text book in
use. To cover the whole of the book
is f requ ently impossible, since the
published wisely gives too much
material rather than too little. We
are sure our contest can be improved.
However, i t is a wor thy projec t in
cooperation and warrants continuance.
Although there are some knotty
p roble m s , the net effect of over a
decade of commercial competition
convinces us that contests are a factor in the forward progress of 'business education.

of guests. But Miss Shaw and her
associates solved this problem .by
gradually building up good social
practices in the boys.
In the ward in which the instructors
were working there were three small
boys who wanted to take part in the
same kind of activities as the bigger
boys. So with the aid of their
teachers they studied and read about
the jungles and the animals. In addition they made clay models of animals
and also posters advertising the play
which the older boys were producing.
Later when the play was given, these
boys were given the parts of little
newsboys who shouted "Extra ! Extra! Stanley finds Livingstone!"
The boys gave two performances.
Their beds were moved close together
at the end of the room and hospital
screens were placed in such a position
as to cut them off from their audience.
The group assumed the name of
"Grasslands Boys Dramatic Club,"
and began their performance by playing an accompaniment to "Pop Goes

The play scored a huge success and
