Dr. Lester K. Ade, Superintenden t

of the State Council of Education ,
announced that effective February 1,
1942, four years of academic and
professional preparation will be the
prescribed minimum education for
, elementary teachers us well as all
other teachers.
Some school districts in Pennsylvania now require four years of preparation of their elementary teachers
and the Department of Public Instruction requires at least this much
training for teachers in schools above
the elementary grade.
Teachers in service who hold per- c
manent certificates, Dr. Ade explained, will not be affected by the new
regulation, although it is expected
that many teachers in the elementary
schools who have not completed the

Mr. Carl N. Stiber of the Grit Publishing Company, accompanied by Mr.

Obiter staff Wednesday afternoon
when the final layout of the '38 Obiter was decided. The standard 180
page volume will be used again this
year and George Sharp and John
Hendler have selected the decorative
motif in a delicately scrolled B to be
executed on a cream page in dark
maroon. At the same time the editorial staff turned over the recentlymade group photographs to be finished into copper engravings. Several
new campus views have been decided
upon and a color rendition of division
pages as an innovation has been instituted. The 20 page snap shot
section is near completion, but people
having interesting snap shots are still
asked to show them to George Sharp.

Which Are You?
Are you a victim of flustered haste?
Are you one of those students who
are invariably seen hurrying to the
next class, who are seen cramming
for an examination , who arrive
breathless at a club meeting? Can
you do your best when you are pressed to the extreme for time ? Time,
we know, halts for no one. But
does it mean that one must always be
a step behind in everything that is
to be done?
Look about you and notice the students who stand high in their scholastic work. Not one of them is a
constant slave of time. Though each
does exceptionally well in his line of
work , he does it in a calm and ordered manner. Rarely do you see one of
them scurrying through the hall .
Each one knows what he is to do
next, and is ready to do it without the
burden and pressure of hate. And
strange as it is, the indi vidual who
is always pressed for time is the fellow who is usually looking for something to do in order to kill time.
Courtesy
To be courteous at all times and in
all situations is truly the mark of an
educated person. I say this because
it has been proven that without social
education a knowledge of book content and subje ct matter is as nothing.
One who is successful in life did not
attain his position merely because he
had an extensive understanding of
his particular vocation , but rather ho
developed his success by his ability
to contact people, make friends and
conduct himself properly while in
the company of others. Without being courteous and polite the realization of those three characteristics
would be impossible. Men who have
become successful in our modern
world without the aid of influential
friends and associates, nre the rare
occasion.
Wo are fortunate in having a wonderfu l opportunity to cultivate while
wo are hero at school, those characteristics which will cause us to be
known as gentlemen and ladies. In
our profession , probably more than in
any other, courtoousnoss is one of ouv
best stocks Jn trade. Wo should start
by being courteous to our teachers
and our schoolmates with whom wo
coma in contact every day. After
a longthy onough period of practlso
wo will no longer need to remind our-
There are three classes of students
in a school such as this. First, there
are the ones who have no goal in
life, either teaching or anything else.
Secondly, are those who have a goal
other than the teaching profession ;
and in the third class are those students who came here to learn to be
teachers exclusively.
Of the fir st class , there are many
who say, "I don't want to be a teacher. I know I'll hate it." But asked
what profession they would have
chosen instead, they have no answer.
There is no aim or purpose in their
lives; they merely live from day to
day, then cast the day away into the
past without trying to fit it into a
structure for the future. Many and
various "are the reasons that bring
them here: the economy, the insistence of parents, a friend who graduated here, and others as unmeaningf ul. Graduating at an early age,
it is difficult to decide what they
want to do in life. The future seems
so very far ahead at that time. But,
it is surprising how student teaching
changes some of these aimless individuals. They have a noticeable
interest in the teaching profession,
a new faith in themselves, a new
interest in the future. Suddenly,
without half knowing why themselves,
they are striving to become good
teachers. At last they can see a
reason in work , a purpose in days.
All this came about through creative
work—the work of creating out of
the jungles of knowledge and ideas
in a child's mind something definabl e
and useful. The ones who have failed
to recognize an aim or ideal in teaching will go on drifting as before.
Uninspired, they will go out to teach
an eager youth .
The second class, who have an aim
in life other than teaching already
have determination. Even if their
own goal is on ahead, their own ambitions will make them excellent
teachers while they are employed at
it. Consciously they are creating a
future for th'emselves, and they cannot help instilling in others that desire for a higher goal.
The third class, those who have an
ultimate goal in teaching are what
the educators would wish for in every
teacher of modern youth. They
kno w why they want to teach , what
the aims of education are , a n d t hey
have progressive ideas in the schoolroom.
In all of the three classes of students there will be fine teachers—
they will be the ones who have felt
the urge to create , and who have a
vision beyond today or a pay check.
Will you be one of these on whom
our school may look with pride?

Daniel Kemple of Cumbola, was
elected by the lettermen of the
Bloomsburg Harriers as honorary
captain for the past season. His
record is an enviable one, having
placed first in all meets. In the
meet with Indiana S. T. C. he was
one of the three tied for first place.
The other two were Hippensteel and
Lavelle of Bloomsburg. In the West

new course record.

Undiscouraged by the loss of their
first wrestling match to Mansfield
23-13, the Bloomsburg grapplers under Kenneth Horner are preparing
for the return match which will take
place at Mansfield at a date to be
set next week. The inexperienced
Bloomsburg squad put up a strong
fight against the mountaineers, but
experience and longer training made
itself known in the heavier division
matches which eventually decided the
contest. Four college matches have
been scheduled for this year by Dr.
E. H. Nelson, Director of Athletics
at the Bloomsburg State Teachers
College, and the infant sport, very
popular at Bloomsburg, will undoubtedly grow to a larger schedule next
season.
The Bloomsburg State Teachers
College wrestling team will meet the
Scranton Keystone Junior College at
Scranton Saturday evening, Jan u a ry
29. The Bloomsburg varsity recently
lost a hard-fought match to the
strong Mansfield team.
The Bloomsburg wrestlers who will
make the trip include : Francis Early,
Plymouth, 118 lbs; Walter Wytovich ,
Shamokin, 120 lbs; Philip Trapane,
Ber w ick , 135 lbs; Frank Taylor, Berwick, 145 lbs; John Hancock, Mt.
Carmel, 155 lbs; Vance Laubach , Berwick , 165 lbs ; Willi am Reage r, Shamokin, 175 lbs; and Michael Stenko,
Berwick, unlimited.
Mind Your Manners
Basketball season for the co-eds
of Bloomsburg got under way January 6, 1938. About one hundred

Dr. Ade Gratified
During Book Week
Annual Book Week was celebrated
this year from November 14 to 20.
"It is a gratification ," Dr. Lester K.
Ade, Superintendent of Public Instruction, stated, "to realize that during , this week the schools of Pennsylvania are astir with diversified
library activity. Library s e r v i ce
which is the heart of the program of
instruction should be extended to
every child and adult in this Commonwealth."
Book Week, which has been observed each year since 1919 to arouse
interest in reading, has become an
annual event in the schools. Through
the activities of this Week, the students acquire an understanding of
world and a new interest in such
aspects of learning as science, the
arts, geography, history,- and government.
"With its emphasis on new trends
in the activities of mankind, Book
Week , provides a factual and historical background for the process
of growing up in the modern world,"
Dr. Ade said. "The modern teacher
conceives of children as people and
makes available to them such books
as reveal wider vistas, and engenders
a freedom and vitality that appeals
to young people."
"The importance of extending Hi
braiy and general reading facilities
to every child and adult is inevitable
in a democracy. While library service is growing rapidly, It has been
estimated that only one person in
three has a good library near at
hand. Of the 46,000,000 people In
America without access to public
libraries, obviously many aro children. Small towns and rural areas %
usually suffer the greatest lack In v

MRS . KELLER IS
CIVIC LEADER
ORANGEVIL LE
Most every one on our campus will
admit that for a college as small as
ours we have quite a few versatile
faculty members—that is, members
of our fac ulty who are considerably
better than average in hobbies they
arc interested in. It seems, however,
that one of these people on our faculty
has been doing quite a bit with her
hobby that most of us know little
about. This particular instructor has
for a hobby, civic improvement. This
migh t seem a peculiar type of hobby,
nevertheless, it certainly has been
responsible for a number of genuine
improvements to the little village of
Orangeville, situated in Fishing Creek
Valley, riot very far from Bl0om§bUFg.
Probably, by this time your curiosity has your brain doing somersaults
in an effort to discover to whom this
article refers. Well, to save you further trouble, it is none other than
Mrs. Etta Keller, that * affable sixth
grade training teacher in our own
Training School.
Some time ago the editor noticed in
the Morning Press an article with regard to a meeting at the new home
of Mrs. Keller of the Orangeville
Civic Club. The organization took
this opportunity to pay tribute to
Mrs. Keller who, inciden tally is president, of it, for her fine work. As a
token of appreciation it presented her
with a beautiful etching entitled "La
Peti te Maison "—by Do Fontaine.
Civic Improvement
The edi tor is quite sure that every
member of the College Community,
stu dents , faculty or otherwise, are Interested in the work of a fellow
member, be it related to the College
or not. He, t herefore , thinks it appropriate that we should bo informed
of the splendid work carried on by
these people. They are to be congratulated for their fine interests and
encouraged to further success.
Under the leadership of Mrs. Keller, wo find that the Civic Club of
Orangoville is responsible for the
splendid library which the little town
of only 500 inhabitants are fortunate
in having. It is situated in the Town
Hall and has been recently renovated ,
being papered and painted throughout. The celebration of the 10th anniversary of the founding of the library was just hold last August and
in the short span of 10 years, wo
find the library growing from almost
nothing to a collection of ovar 2000
books, in addition to 15 regularly
subscribed magazines which the library gets.
Provide Water Supply
In addition to tho excellent library,
Ornngovillo has been fortunate in
having an excellent wutor supply in
recent years, probably unmatched by
any community of Us size in tho
state, Mrs . Keller on her arrival in
Orangevillo was much too progressive
and modern to bo satisfied with tho
ancient system of drawing water
from wells for her household use.
She therefore succeeded in having
tho water piped into her homo. Before long Mrs , Keller was supplying
nil her neighbors with this clean
accessible water supply. Seeing tho
need for a moro oxtonsivo system,
she had tho water piped to tho homo
Rural Life Club
Ends Semester Work
The Rural Life Club , which functions only during the first semester,
has ended its activities for the year.
The club was especially active this
semester and has accomplished some
worthwhile things.
This club is usually chosen by students of primary or elementary courses who expect to teach in a consolidated or rural school.
Cites Aims of Club
Miss Hazen made the following
statement as to the aims of the Rural
Life Club: "We try to promote interest in people living in rural areas
and discuss problems having to do
with the school and with the community • because the rural teacher,
more than any other teacher, has to
be a leader since there are no others
to call upon to be leaders! We
try to discuss problems that are very
inadequately touched upon in college
courses or neglected entirely. Some
problems have to do with health and
personal hygiene of children and we
have actually tried to have a solution for problems of a school from
which the students come or expect to
go as a teacher."
Discuss Libraries
Three periods were spent discussing a library for a rural school. Some
of the problems confronting the club
were: the selection of books, how to
get money to buy books, and how to
develop interest in circulating books.
Two social events were held and
they were a hike and a picnic at
Rock Glen, and Miss Hazen invited
the club to her home for a Christmas
party. She was aided by two rural
training teachers, Miss Bessie Mordan
from the Forks School and Mrs.
Blanche Evert from the Creeks
School.
The outstanding event of the year
was the Second Annual Rural Education Day with an attendance of
abou t 350 rural teachers from the
service area which includes the four
cou n t ies , Luz erne, Columbia, Mont our
and Northumberland. This event
was held November 13, 1937.

Dr. Ade Please d
With R esponse
To His Request
Dr. Lester K. Ade, Superintendent
of Public Instruction in the State,
recently expressed pleasure with the •
reaction among schools to his desire
that National Education Week be
observed by exercises in the schools.
American Education Week this
year marked the sixteenth annual
observance of this occasion, sponsored jointly by the National Education Association, the American Legion, and the United States Office of
Education, and with the co-operation
of many other national organizations.
This great national celebration had
its beginnings after the World War,
which had thrown into sharp relief
certain fundamental weaknesses in
American life and education.
Since the first observance in 1921
this movement has gained steadily
in scope, effectiveness and recognition, Dr. Ade said. During the 1936
observance, nearly 7,000,000 citizens
visited their schools. Scores of millions were reached through the press,
radio, motion picture and other avenues.

new campus views have been decided
upon and a color rendition of division

Which Are You?
Are you a victim of flustered haste?
Are you one of those students who
are invariably seen hurrying to the
next class, who are seen cramming
for an examination , who arrive
breathless at a club meeting? Can
you do your best when you are pressed to the extreme for time ? Time,
we know, halts for no one. But
does it mean that one must always be
a step behind in everything that is
to be done?
Look about you and notice the students who stand high in their scholastic work. Not one of them is a
constant slave of time. Though each
does exceptionally well in his line of
work , he does it in a calm and ordered manner. Rarely do you see one of
them scurrying through the hall .
Each one knows what he is to do
next, and is ready to do it without the
burden and pressure of hate. And
strange as it is, the indi vidual who
is always pressed for time is the fellow who is usually looking for something to do in order to kill time.
Courtesy
To be courteous at all times and in
all situations is truly the mark of an
educated person. I say this because
it has been proven that without social
education a knowledge of book content and subje ct matter is as nothing.
One who is successful in life did not
attain his position merely because he
had an extensive understanding of
his particular vocation , but rather ho
developed his success by his ability
to contact people, make friends and
conduct himself properly while in
the company of others. Without being courteous and polite the realization of those three characteristics
would be impossible. Men who have
become successful in our modern
world without the aid of influential
friends and associates, nre the rare
occasion.
Wo are fortunate in having a wonderfu l opportunity to cultivate while
wo are hero at school, those characteristics which will cause us to be
known as gentlemen and ladies. In
our profession , probably more than in
any other, courtoousnoss is one of ouv
best stocks Jn trade. Wo should start
by being courteous to our teachers
and our schoolmates with whom wo
coma in contact every day. After
a longthy onough period of practlso
wo will no longer need to remind our-
There are three classes of students
in a school such as this. First, there
are the ones who have no goal in
life, either teaching or anything else.
Secondly, are those who have a goal
other than the teaching profession ;
and in the third class are those students who came here to learn to be
teachers exclusively.
Of the fir st class , there are many
who say, "I don't want to be a teacher. I know I'll hate it." But asked
what profession they would have
chosen instead, they have no answer.
There is no aim or purpose in their
lives; they merely live from day to
day, then cast the day away into the
past without trying to fit it into a
structure for the future. Many and
various "are the reasons that bring
them here: the economy, the insistence of parents, a friend who graduated here, and others as unmeaningf ul. Graduating at an early age,
it is difficult to decide what they
want to do in life. The future seems
so very far ahead at that time. But,
it is surprising how student teaching
changes some of these aimless individuals. They have a noticeable
interest in the teaching profession,
a new faith in themselves, a new
interest in the future. Suddenly,
without half knowing why themselves,
they are striving to become good
teachers. At last they can see a
reason in work , a purpose in days.
All this came about through creative
work—the work of creating out of
the jungles of knowledge and ideas
in a child's mind something definabl e
and useful. The ones who have failed
to recognize an aim or ideal in teaching will go on drifting as before.
Uninspired, they will go out to teach
an eager youth .
The second class, who have an aim
in life other than teaching already
have determination. Even if their
own goal is on ahead, their own ambitions will make them excellent
teachers while they are employed at
it. Consciously they are creating a
future for th'emselves, and they cannot help instilling in others that desire for a higher goal.
The third class, those who have an
ultimate goal in teaching are what
the educators would wish for in every
teacher of modern youth. They
kno w why they want to teach , what
the aims of education are , a n d t hey
have progressive ideas in the schoolroom.
In all of the three classes of students there will be fine teachers—
they will be the ones who have felt
the urge to create , and who have a
vision beyond today or a pay check.
Will you be one of these on whom
our school may look with pride?

record is an enviable one, having
placed first in all meets. In the

one of the three tied for first place.
The other two were Hippensteel and
Lavelle of Bloomsburg. In the West

Undiscouraged by the loss of their
first wrestling match to Mansfield
23-13, the Bloomsburg grapplers under Kenneth Horner are preparing
for the return match which will take
place at Mansfield at a date to be
set next week. The inexperienced
Bloomsburg squad put up a strong
fight against the mountaineers, but
experience and longer training made
itself known in the heavier division
matches which eventually decided the
contest. Four college matches have
been scheduled for this year by Dr.
E. H. Nelson, Director of Athletics
at the Bloomsburg State Teachers
College, and the infant sport, very
popular at Bloomsburg, will undoubtedly grow to a larger schedule next
season.
The Bloomsburg State Teachers
College wrestling team will meet the
Scranton Keystone Junior College at
Scranton Saturday evening, Jan u a ry
29. The Bloomsburg varsity recently
lost a hard-fought match to the
strong Mansfield team.
The Bloomsburg wrestlers who will
make the trip include : Francis Early,
Plymouth, 118 lbs; Walter Wytovich ,
Shamokin, 120 lbs; Philip Trapane,
Ber w ick , 135 lbs; Frank Taylor, Berwick, 145 lbs; John Hancock, Mt.
Carmel, 155 lbs; Vance Laubach , Berwick , 165 lbs ; Willi am Reage r, Shamokin, 175 lbs; and Michael Stenko,
Berwick, unlimited.

Basketball season for the co-eds
of Bloomsburg got under way January 6, 1938. About one hundred

Dr. Ade Gratified
During Book Week
Annual Book Week was celebrated
this year from November 14 to 20.
"It is a gratification ," Dr. Lester K.
Ade, Superintendent of Public Instruction, stated, "to realize that during , this week the schools of Pennsylvania are astir with diversified
library activity. Library s e r v i ce
which is the heart of the program of
instruction should be extended to
every child and adult in this Commonwealth."
Book Week, which has been observed each year since 1919 to arouse
interest in reading, has become an
annual event in the schools. Through
the activities of this Week, the students acquire an understanding of
world and a new interest in such
aspects of learning as science, the
arts, geography, history,- and government.
"With its emphasis on new trends
in the activities of mankind, Book
Week , provides a factual and historical background for the process
of growing up in the modern world,"
Dr. Ade said. "The modern teacher
conceives of children as people and
makes available to them such books
as reveal wider vistas, and engenders
a freedom and vitality that appeals
to young people."
"The importance of extending Hi
braiy and general reading facilities
to every child and adult is inevitable
in a democracy. While library service is growing rapidly, It has been
estimated that only one person in
three has a good library near at
hand. Of the 46,000,000 people In
America without access to public
libraries, obviously many aro children. Small towns and rural areas %
usually suffer the greatest lack In v

this direction."
MRS . KELLER IS
CIVIC LEADER
ORANGEVIL LE
Most every one on our campus will
admit that for a college as small as
ours we have quite a few versatile
faculty members—that is, members
of our fac ulty who are considerably
better than average in hobbies they
arc interested in. It seems, however,
that one of these people on our faculty
has been doing quite a bit with her
hobby that most of us know little
about. This particular instructor has
for a hobby, civic improvement. This
migh t seem a peculiar type of hobby,
nevertheless, it certainly has been
responsible for a number of genuine
improvements to the little village of
Orangeville, situated in Fishing Creek
Valley, riot very far from Bl0om§bUFg.
Probably, by this time your curiosity has your brain doing somersaults
in an effort to discover to whom this
article refers. Well, to save you further trouble, it is none other than
Mrs. Etta Keller, that * affable sixth
grade training teacher in our own
Training School.
Some time ago the editor noticed in
the Morning Press an article with regard to a meeting at the new home
of Mrs. Keller of the Orangeville
Civic Club. The organization took
this opportunity to pay tribute to
Mrs. Keller who, inciden tally is president, of it, for her fine work. As a
token of appreciation it presented her
with a beautiful etching entitled "La
Peti te Maison "—by Do Fontaine.
Civic Improvement
The edi tor is quite sure that every
member of the College Community,
stu dents , faculty or otherwise, are Interested in the work of a fellow
member, be it related to the College
or not. He, t herefore , thinks it appropriate that we should bo informed
of the splendid work carried on by
these people. They are to be congratulated for their fine interests and
encouraged to further success.
Under the leadership of Mrs. Keller, wo find that the Civic Club of
Orangoville is responsible for the
splendid library which the little town
of only 500 inhabitants are fortunate
in having. It is situated in the Town
Hall and has been recently renovated ,
being papered and painted throughout. The celebration of the 10th anniversary of the founding of the library was just hold last August and
in the short span of 10 years, wo
find the library growing from almost
nothing to a collection of ovar 2000
books, in addition to 15 regularly
subscribed magazines which the library gets.
Provide Water Supply
In addition to tho excellent library,
Ornngovillo has been fortunate in
having an excellent wutor supply in
recent years, probably unmatched by
any community of Us size in tho
state, Mrs . Keller on her arrival in
Orangevillo was much too progressive
and modern to bo satisfied with tho
ancient system of drawing water
from wells for her household use.
She therefore succeeded in having
tho water piped into her homo. Before long Mrs , Keller was supplying
nil her neighbors with this clean
accessible water supply. Seeing tho
need for a moro oxtonsivo system,
she had tho water piped to tho homo
Rural Life Club
Ends Semester Work
The Rural Life Club , which functions only during the first semester,
has ended its activities for the year.
The club was especially active this
semester and has accomplished some
worthwhile things.
This club is usually chosen by students of primary or elementary courses who expect to teach in a consolidated or rural school.
Cites Aims of Club
Miss Hazen made the following
statement as to the aims of the Rural
Life Club: "We try to promote interest in people living in rural areas
and discuss problems having to do
with the school and with the community • because the rural teacher,
more than any other teacher, has to
be a leader since there are no others
to call upon to be leaders! We
try to discuss problems that are very
inadequately touched upon in college
courses or neglected entirely. Some
problems have to do with health and
personal hygiene of children and we
have actually tried to have a solution for problems of a school from
which the students come or expect to
go as a teacher."
Discuss Libraries
Three periods were spent discussing a library for a rural school. Some
of the problems confronting the club
were: the selection of books, how to
get money to buy books, and how to
develop interest in circulating books.
Two social events were held and
they were a hike and a picnic at
Rock Glen, and Miss Hazen invited
the club to her home for a Christmas
party. She was aided by two rural
training teachers, Miss Bessie Mordan
from the Forks School and Mrs.
Blanche Evert from the Creeks
School.
The outstanding event of the year
was the Second Annual Rural Education Day with an attendance of
abou t 350 rural teachers from the
service area which includes the four
cou n t ies , Luz erne, Columbia, Mont our
and Northumberland. This event
was held November 13, 1937.

neighborhood fire ; brags about hitting
same fireman with snowball three
years later. Remembers hoping to
not remember his first day of school,

Dr. Ade Please d
With R esponse
To His Request
Dr. Lester K. Ade, Superintendent
of Public Instruction in the State,
recently expressed pleasure with the •
reaction among schools to his desire
that National Education Week be
observed by exercises in the schools.
American Education Week this
year marked the sixteenth annual
observance of this occasion, sponsored jointly by the National Education Association, the American Legion, and the United States Office of
Education, and with the co-operation
of many other national organizations.
This great national celebration had
its beginnings after the World War,
which had thrown into sharp relief
certain fundamental weaknesses in
American life and education.
Since the first observance in 1921
this movement has gained steadily
in scope, effectiveness and recognition, Dr. Ade said. During the 1936
observance, nearly 7,000,000 citizens
visited their schools. Scores of millions were reached through the press,
radio, motion picture and other avenues.
