Dr. Lester K. Adet State Superintendent of Public Instruction , pointed :
out the relationship of the "new '

spoke to the student body on "New ¦

gram on Thursday, April 7.
;
This new education which is gradually being adopted in schools thruout the nation is based on the theory
of a child-centered school. Marks

"Th e Last Lap"
The "last lap" is finally upon us.
Books are once again opened , the
library is filled and pencils are chewed. Everyone is warming up for
the on-rushing exams. We should
all be in the pink of condition after
the long vacation we had. Let's
all buckle down and see what we
can do. The next vacation will be
appreciated more if you work hard
in between.

Character Analysis
Here is an interesting chart
brought back from the Rainbow
Room by one of the boys who went
to the conference at New York. You
can analyze your friends by it.
GIRLS WITH —
Brown eyes—Are the World's lovers.
Blue eyes—Possess sound j udgment.
Black eyes—Love soft music and romance.
MEN WITH
Large ears . .Are always "regular fellas"
Small oars—Are sot in their ways.
Thick ears—Are always home at
mealtime.
Thin ears—Are light and touchy.

Old Car ver Hall Bell
Will Rin g Once More
Speaking of the end drawing near ,
you are all in store for a treat. How
many of you know that when our
Alma Mater was an academy tho
students were summoned by a largo
bell which hangs in Carver Hall
tower? Well , it all happened in
Plistory and Philosophy. The class
was discussing early education in
Pennsylvania and In connection with
this Dr. North mentioned the episode of the bell. Tho class was so
surprised and interested that it decided to see whether or not it could
be arranged to have tho boll rung
on Alumni Day.
It Js nil arranged now. If you are
on the campus on Alumni Day you
will hear , for the firs t time in many
years, the peals of tho Carver Hall
Bell.

Now that vacation will soon be at
we will all have plenty of leisure time to "read all the books we've
been wishing for, bu t never had the
time to read."
Sigmund Spaeth — "Music Detective" — takes popular music and detects from what great classic it has
been taken.
"Stories Behind the World's Great
Music" tells the story of such famous
compositions as Moiart's Requiem.
Dog lovers will enjoy the new little
book by Brand Whitock entitled
Little Lion." Mr. Whitock once ask ed a friend, "Did you ever notice how
much Pekinese dogs resemble little
lions?" "Little Lion" may be read
in an hour or more and will keep the
reader interested and amused with
its tender biography of one little lion.
Some of the other interesting
books are: Schuman Heink by Mary
Lawton; Madame Curie by Eve Curie,
her daughter; Lest Flight, Amelia
Earhart; I've Been to London, Temple Bailey ; and The Rains Came,
by Louis Bfofnfield.

And So Victoria

by Vaughn Wilkins

Court intrigues, horrors of child
labor, disreputable old English kings,
romance , adventure—all are found
in this outstanding book. Of Queen
Victoria there is practically nothing,
for the story deals with the events
in the life of an idealistic young
Englishman which led up to the successful ascension of Victoria to the
throne.
Christopher Hornish, the unloved
son of a scoundrel of French ancestry and a royal princess of pure
English blood, has his whole life influenced by the treachery and scheming of some of the royal family of
England in preventing Victoria's ascension to the throne. He, despite
the Hanoverian blood in his veins, is
an idealist of the first water, and will
have nothing to do with their diabolic
s chemes , for he sees in young Victoria the beginning of a new and finer
line of English monarchs. He, hi mself , can build a new life apart from
the degredation of his ancestry, but
his youthfully high ideals can not,
at the time, permit him to understand the attempt of the woman he
loves to build something of fineness
and stability out of tho wreckage of
her life. In his successful attempt to
overthrow the plots against Victoria's ascension, he gains this understanding and realizes Margaret Atchill' s true spiritual purity.

Dr. Lester K. Ade, Superintendent
of Public Instruction, said today that
the month of April, which is usually
marked by Arbor and Bird Day celebrations in Pennsylvania , c l a i ms
among its days the birthday anniygrsaries sf fiye famous naturalists
and an equal number of anniversaries relating to natural conservation.
The two best known naturalists
whose birthdays occur in April are
John Burroughts, 1837-1921, bo rn
April 3; and John James Audubon,
1785-1851, born April 26. Much of
the work of Audubon is associated
with Pennsylvania, especially in the
area of Philadelphia.
Other naturalists of note born in
this spring month, Dr. Ade said, are
Joseph .T. Rothrock, 1839-1922, John
Muir 1838-1902, the founder of Arbor
D a y . Rothrock, a Pennsylvanian,
was the founder of the State Forest
School at Mont Alto and of the Pennsylvania Forestry Association. He
served for a time as the first commissioner of the Department of Forestry and as botany instructor in the
University of Pennsylvania.
ur. Aae pointed to at least nve
anniversaries of April which are directly related to conservation. April
1 marks the first day of Conservation
Week in the United States. April
8 is the tentative date for the observance of Arbor, Bird and Forest
Days in southern Pennsylvania and
April 22 for northern Pennsylvania.

Frank Van Devender raced 60 yds.
in 6.2 seconds to tie the nationallyknown Ben Johnson's Scranton Armory record and help his team mates
sweep honors in the annual indoor
invitation meet at Scranton Tuesday,
April 12.
While the time turned in for the
60-yard dash was such that it placed
the event in a feature position on
the scorer's sheet, Bloomsburg runners participating in the 880, the
mile, and the open 8-lap relay set
rapid paces in placing firsts in those
events. This was especially true of
the relay, In which the Husky combination (Mulhern , Karnes, Zelesky
and Van Devender) placed first in
2:33.3, well ahead of the second-place
St. Thomas team and the third-place
C a r b o n d a l e combination, The
Bloomsburg "B" team (Horn , Joy,

Stover, Kemple) finished in fourth
position.
In the 880-yard special race Zelesky turned in a remarkable performance for indoor competition with
a time of 2:09, while in the 60-yard
event in which Van Devender commanded so much attention Mulhern ,
Horn and Joy finished on the heels
of the leader in that order.
The spotlight was on Glenn Cunningham in the feature race of the
meet, and the flying Kansas miler
raced the distance in 4:32.1 to finish
ahead of Bloomsburg's Kemple.
Olexy of Penn State , nnmber one
man for the State College team in
the event, followed Kemple in third
position, with Hippensteel in fourth.
All runners were given a 100-yard
handicap except Oloxy, who ran with
a 40-yard handicap.

GIRLS' SPORTS Baseball .tennis, and quoits are on
the program for all girls of the College who care for outdoor sports.

Dean Andruss Named
Member of National
Terminolog y Comm .
National Council of Business Education is cooperating with Phi Delta
Kappa Fraternity in standardizing
the terminology used in the various
fields of education. Dean , Harvey
A. And russ, of the State Teachers
College at Bloomsburg, has been selected as a member of the Terminology Committee by the National
Council. All of the curren * terms
in the field of education will be defined , compared , and contrasted, so
that some such uniformity of practice will emerge from this study
as is now found in the Encyclopedia
of Social Sciences, which has been
in the procees of completion for a
number ot years.

First Local Commercial
Contest Staged in 1931
Beginning in 1931, the State
Teachers College at Bloomsburg, acting through the Junior Chamber of
Commerce and the Pi Omega Pi
Fraternity, has sponsored an annual
contest for commercial students
from the High Schools of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The
number of schools participating has
grown from twelve to fifty so that
in 1936 it was necessary to divide the
High Schools into two classes.
These examinations are planned
to tes t the st u dent's ability in. performing tasks similar to those required in actual business situations.
Out of the experience of the past
seven years, has been evolved the
true and false-correction test and the
problem-point test. One is an improved modification of the two response test and the other offers an
opportunity to score figure problems
obj ectively on a poin t basis. These
new testing media are used in the
examinations in bookkeeping, typewriting, business law, and business
ari thmetic. ' 'Sufficient experimentation has justified the inclusion of
these examinations in the annual
bibiographies collected by Rutgers
University and the office of Educat ion , Washington , D. C.
The faculty of the Department of
Business.Education has cooperated in
making contests and classroom examinations available for schools in
fifteen states in the Union. They
have also compiled several civil service examinations for the Unemployment Board of Review, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Certain cities,
Toledo , Ohio among them, use these
contest examinations to help in the
selection of their teachers of commercial subjects . Those examinations have attracted wide-spread interested in newer evaluation devices
terested in newer exaluation devices
in education and business,
The 1938 examinations will be given at the College on April 30 and
May 7. Twenty-two schools with 117
students and teachers have enrolled
for tho A p r i l 30 examination.
Twenty-four schools with 90 students and teachers have enrolled for
-the May 7 examination.

May "Popular Science" Pri nts Story
About Pro /, Keller's Favorite Hobby
Narrow Escapes While Training Simba and
Other Animals Related in Story by Ed. Teale
Again Prof. Keller is lauded on
his unique hobby which is rapidly
gaining nation-wide recognition. This
time it is by Edwin Teale in the May
issue of Popular Science.
Mr. Teale gives »n interesting account of the "backyard circus" and
the "amateur trainer" with professional ability. Many of Prof. Keller's back-yard students are now appearing in vaudeville, circuses and
motion pictures. Mr. Keller is continually adding to his collection, releasing his graduates to professional
agencies when they have mastered
the professor 's prescribed curriculum.
Mention was made of the Jungle
Farm which attracted some 17,000
visitors last summer.

In discussing animal tendencies and

natu re, Mr. Teale tells of many nar-

row escapes Mr. Keller has had when
his animals have turned upon him
during a training period. One such
inciden t was of Simba , a 170 lb.
mountain lion, who, in leaping upon
a swaying pedestal and becoming
frightened, leaped for the nearest
object in sight—Mr. Keller. Its great
claws ripped the back out of his
leather, j acket and knocked him flat
upon the ground. Later this Simba
was taught to walk a tight rope—
the only animal of its kind to perform such a feat.
The article is illustrated with pictures of Mr. Keller and his interesting animals, with which most of us
are familiar.
