AND SO TO SLEEP

By Doyle W. Johnson
From my pillow I could see the
front of Mr. Sun's house. It was
veiled in ethereal dusk. But as I
watched , my neighbor opened a cloud
and stepped out, attired in his evening clothes. Casually he sauntered
along the skyway, in cadence with
the flow of star-traffic. The stellar
ladies winked coyly at him. The
brazen wind petted his cheeks until
he effervesced with lunar-light and
the worries of the day were forgotten as he drew back his shoulders and
tilted up his chin. He tossed silver
to tiie urchins of the Milky Way.
It was not long before the moon
had turned the corner of my bedroom
window and I was alone again. Soon,
however, I became aware of figures
appearing on the pane—a mystic
motif of silver silhouettes. Fantastic
flowers and spectral shapes outlined
themselves before my eyes. Fascinating was the design upon the icingglass. Even as I gazed, some elusive
etcher had breathed upon my window, leaving a blue-print of his artifice .

Wha t Goes On?
Have you noticed any queer actions
these past few weeks? I mean like
people cutting models or a complete
outfit of wearing apparel from magazines. It might have been your
roommate or the person across the
hall. Did you see them mail a whole
stack of letters and then run down
to the postoffiee every day with special eagerness to find out what replies
they got? And then what about those
several nights they spent pasting all
this collected scrap into a big book ,
when they should have been doing
school work?
In case these busy people haven 't
had time to explain to you the meaning of this childish looking activity,
here is a bit in their defense. These
industrious students were doing some
school work. They belong to Mr.
Henrie 's Merchandise Information
Class. They have made a series of
attractive and informative merchandise manuals on items of men's and
women 's wearing apparel. You will
have the opportunity to j udge for
yourself whether it was worth all the
trouble when these manuals are displayed at the annual Commercial
Contest to be held on May 3.

Red Cross Proj ects
The pupils of the Benj amin Franklin Training School have participated
in three Red Cross projects this year.
During October , the sch'ool children
collected tooth brushes, tooth paste,
shaving equipment, soap, stationery,
and many other useful articles for
hospitalized servicemen in foreign
countries .
The pupil s contributed a total of
$32 to the Junior Red Cross in November.
For their February activity in this
field of endeavor, the pupils of the
fift h grade made soft toys for the
c h i l d r e n in devastated countries.
These toys were made in forms of
owls, ca ts a n d chick ens .
The children traced on black oilcloth forms from stencils and stitched
the animals with red , yellow, white
and green thread after they had been
filled with cotton. The boys and girls
made thirty-two of these toys.
In the future, the pupils of the fifth
grade are going to make large scrap
books for hospitalized servicemen.

What Other Colleges Are Doing

RUN OVER OPPOSITION
T h e Bloosburg Collegians, composed of Husky players of the past
basketball season, racked u p t w o
more victories recently, winning over
Frey 's, of Muncy, in t h e opening
round of the Gold Medal Tourney at
Milton , and handing the "Scholastic
All-Stars " a 64-27 lacing. The latter
team was made up of Bloomsburg
High School players of the season
j ust finished.
The Stars rolled over Frey's by an
overwhelming 78-48 margin. The issue was never in doubt as the collegians poured in point after point. Ed
Jones topped the point-getters with
18. Johnny Slegeski got 13 and Joe
Chesney and Bobby Kashner each
contributed 11.
In the "high school vs. college " aff a ir , a preliminary g a m e to the
Bloomsburg-Berwick Legion playoff
clash last Saturday night, the college
boys continued to roll up the score
with ease.' Bobby Kashner displayed
some more of his eagle eye shooting
by scoring 22 markers. Paul Slobozien racked up 13 from his guard position. Other players entering the
double bracket included Jones with 11
and Bob Walther with 10.

York University in Schenectady.
The immediate aim of the Work shop is to discover means of implementing, on both elementary and
secondary school levels, a number of
"Guiding Principles" developed by a
Special Committee on Education. The
question asked by the committee, and
expected to be answered by the findings of the Workshop is "What kind
of education does Schenectady need to
fit in with the community of 1950?"
Dr. Alice V. Keliher and Dr. G.
Derwood Baker, professors in the
School of Education at the University,
are joint co-ordinators of this experiment. At present 130 of the entire staff of 550 elementary and secondary teachers in the city are enrolled.
uuisses meet every Monday anernoon from 3:30 to 5:30 P. M. For the
teachers , this is a continuation of
their working day, except that they
then become students. The class discusses parent-teacher relations and
the possibility of substituting personal
conferencer in place of report cards
to let parents know how the children
are getting along.
"The important principle is flexibility," Dr. Keliher points out. "You
should try different methods in different communities. With your particular school you should do the kind
of thing that is suitable to youc particular parents. The 'what to do' depends always on the person and the
circumstance."
The teacher-students give examples of special problems they have
encountered in their work , and review with Dr. Keliher the different
methods oi! handling each problem.
Meanwhile in the large library of
t h e school, Dr. Baker is moving
a b out , leading the discussion of three
small groups of junior and senior
high school teachers. One section is

first side contains an opening
chorus played by Elliot's unusual combination of English
Horn , two clarinets and bassoon
which, when coupled with his
piano introduction , serve to provide a highly arresting mood.
The Lawrence band plays a
listenable type of music , and
through the use of unorthodox
instrumentation and styling, i s

picked up by other bands striving for this mood-type music.

debating the best of planning the
daily program so that the periods will
I be of proper length for cfl'ective
j leaching. After a while , the group
I turns to talk of classroom techniques
of promoting racial understanding.
Joining another unit , Dr. Baker
finds the teachers discussing pupils
participation in planning extra-cur! ricular activities, special classroom
i projects and even the building of a
new school. He acts as a moderator
in a debate on whether the teacher
should warn the pupils in advance
when he sees that their own ideas
; may not work out , or whether she

ing mistakes."
In a separate alcove in the library
a third section of the teachers group
is planning methods to promote mental health of students, an important
i tem in the "Guiding Principles" program. In con nection with this principle , the teachers agree, education
should be directed to "h elping, each
person achieve group acceptance regardless of his capacities or attaini ments."
Through their experiences in the
Workshop, the teachers will learn
teaching methods to give concrete
meaning to other items in the "Guidi n g Principl es " such as education for
soil-realization; for physical competence; for common and divergent
needs; for maximum development;
and education as a continuous process. All of these are united under
the general heading "Education for
personal-social development. "
In the field of education for responsible citizenship, the teachers are
learning methods of teaching young
people to live democratically in the
school; to extend civic activities into
the community ; to develop competence in the study of public prob lems and in political action; and to
use knowledge as a tool of civic competence and responsibility. A major
educational aim is fostering loyalty
to the principles and ideals of American democracy.

Some people have tact , and others
