course find it a most interesting one.
STATE AID
State aid may be had for all class
work in the Supervisor’s course, hence
the tuition is small, the private voice les
sons being the only expense to the stu
dent.
A student orchestra is maintained
which meets once a week for rehearsal
under the direction of the head of the de
partment. This orchestra plays each
morning in chapel and for school func
tions. The membership is free and all
music is furnished by the school.
GLEE CLUB
The membership requirement of this
organization is the ability to read ordinary
music.
VIOLIN. PIPE ORGAN, ETC.
For those desiring to study pipe organ,
violin, etc., an instructor is available.
EAR TRAINING CLASS
An entertaining class is held for those
taking the Public School Music course
but each one taking either vocal or in
strumental work is urged to attend this
clciss as much benefit may be derived
from the work done here.
HARMONY
One year of harmony is required for
these courses. The textbook, Emery’s
Elements of Harmony, is completed dur

ORGANIZATION OF THE TRAINING SCHOOL
Owing to the waste in competition
between the Normal Model School and
the Edinboro Public School, the people
of the borough, by a general vote, decided to accept a plan offered by the
officers of the NtSJnal School, for the
union of the two ^hools. The terms of ^
the contract, between the two parties
are in brief as follows:
The Normal School ; pays to the
Board of.; Education, twelve hundred
dollars annually; '^be Board receives all
State money paid tP the school; the
Normal furnishes, free of charge, instruo
THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY
lion for the eleventh and twelfth grades
of the High School; the Normal Instruc
tor in Education has charge of the super
vision of critic and practice teachers of
the first eight grades; and the children of
the Public School are being instructed
at the expense of the Normal in vocal
music, physical training, drawing and
any vocational subjects, that the course
of study will allow for.
In return for the above, the Seniors of
the Normal are allowed to do their
regular practice teaching in the first eight
grades of the Public School; the School
Bosnd furnishes all supplies and books,
employs four critic teachers, and a high
school principal, who has charge of the
discipline of the whole school.
At this writing, the plan has been in
operation for nine weeks, and although a
change of such far-reaching nature al
ways brings more or less difficulty of
adjustment, we consider that it has done
all that the most sanguine exponents have
claimed for it. The Board elected four
critic teachers, the regular public school
teachers for the first six grades, and Miss
Ruby Anderson for the seventh and
eighth grades. For principal Mr. H. H.
Denison, A. B., of Allegheny College,
was elected.
We believe that the Public School
will profit much by the change. Music
is taught, daily, from the primary through
the eighth grade. Drawing is taught
throughout the grades; and the four
upper grades are each given two fortyfive minute periods a week in the gym
nasium. For the jnusic and drawing
instruction Mbs Th^as and Miss
Powell spend a part erf each day in the
Public School building. Mr. Stancliffe
9
supervises the writing. The supervisor,
Mr. Freeland, spends all of his time, ex
cept two forty-five minute periods a day,
in the Public School. With the help of
the critic teachers, it is his endeavor to
employ the most recent and best meth
ods in the teaching of every subject.
The good of the pupils is placed above
the training of the Seniors. It is our de
sire to make every student of the Public
School feel an interest in his work; and
that the school is a place where he can
be happy and have enough work to
keep his growing intellect well stimulated.
Although the school is not called a
model school, we hope to make it such,
that it may serve as a model to all pro
gressive school boards of this section.
The Seniors are made to feel, that in
this work, there can be no slack prepara
tion, for here they are dealing with
human beings. Mr. Baker has explained
to them that their teaching is the first
subject to be considered. By the new
plan, they receive a great advantage, in
being allowed to get their practice in a
real public school, where real problems
of discipline and of interesting and hold
ing the attention of large classes are met.
Every lesson must be planned one week
in advance, and handed in to the critic
teacher in time to be corrected and to
have suggestions made before the lesson
is taught.
Grade meetings are held every
Wednesday morning, in which the
Seniors, together with the critic teachers
discuss the work of the grades in which
they teach, the individual pupils under
them, and whatever is for the general
good of the grade.
The critic teachers are working in an
10
THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY
active and interested manner They all
agree, that while the new work is more
pleasant and allows for the consider
ation of higher educational prob
lems, there is necessity for just as
much or more work than there was
before. The Superintendent wishes
to commend them for the manner
in which they have taken up the new
responsibilities.
Mr. Denison has instituted a chapel
service, which calls for a program from
one room each morning. These pro
grams have become very interesting to
the school, and are of great value to
those who take part.
One feature that makes us feel that
the plan is a complete success, is the
harmony which exists throughout the
whole school. Everybody who is in
contact with the work seems pleased
with its operation, and all are working
together to make the new scheme a
success. There is no doubt that the
Normal Seniors get a great deal of good
from the new plan, and the Public
School is surely profiting by the help
the Normal is able to offer in both in
struction and equipment. This should
be all the more pleasing to the members
of the district, because there are no
extra taxes to pay for all the benefits,
which they obtain. The School Board
has shown excellent spirit in furnishing
everything that is necessary to make the
best school possible, while Principal
Baker has offered us anything in the line
of equipment, books from the libraury, or
assistance in instruction that the Normal
is able to furnish.

THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY
PLAY
[STUDENT EDITORIAL]
People have not always recognized
the educational value of play; they have
regarded it as a frivolous thing and not to
be tolerated in the school room. From
the time of Plato to the present day,
there have been some people who have
realized its real importance. Play is a
natural instinct found not only in men but
in all forms of animal life. Through play
the physical and mental powers are de
veloped which prepare for the great tasks
of life. It also affords rest and refresh
ment for worn out mental powers and re
laxation for the body.
It is a significant fact that as we ascend
the scale of animal life we find the play
period growing longer until in man we
find it the longest. Happily there are
some people who have reached old age
and yet have not forgotten how to play.
It is our business to be glad. Cheerful
ness keeps one out of ruts and in the at
titude of enjoying life.
There are two ways of utilizing play
in education,—by introducing the play
element into work and by using play as
a means of development. Both methods
are natural to us but it is the play ele
ment which is used by the teacher in the
classroom. Since play is a natural in
stinct, it might better be used and made
the best of than creating something new.
The Puritans crushed out these natural
emotions and as a result made themselves
stiff and uninviting.
Schiller has said that a man is fully
human only when he plays and the
teacher who has forgotten how to pfe|^
and who holds his class to close work by
a strict sense of duty, is not dealing justly
with himself and his pupils. It has aptly
been said that the strings of a zither and
the cord of a bow should not always be
taut if the instrument is to retain its use
fulness, and so should there be freedom
from restraint in recitations.
It is for the teacher to decide whether
his class shall be enjoyable and the stu
dents feel free to express themselves. If
he Is in sympathy with the work and in a
happy frame of mind, in other words, if
he has the play attitude, he can get much
better results from the students than if
they are constantly kept at close work
with their nerves at a strain. There is
such a thing as teaching without having
the pupil know he is putting forth effort
to learn. Unconsciously, he is using all
his power and his Individual qualities are
brought out and developed.
All play involves work. One of the
chief ends of education is to develop a
habit of joyousness in work, and the more
one loves play the more likely will he be
to love work. Edinboro Normal stu
dents have fortunately succeeded in com
bining work and the spirit of play, and,

THE GHOST AND GOBLIN PARTY
[JANE RIBLET, '14\
" What are you going to wear," was
the question that echoed and re-echoed
in Haven Hall.
"Something must be going on," you
said.
My dear reader, the annual Hal
lowe’en party was at hand and such a
scurrying as we made trying to find
enough feathers for our hair and brace
lets and "jangles." After we had bothered
everyone else to death about how we
looked we started forth to the gymnasium.
When we had assured the doorkeeper
by our cards, that we were not inter
lopers, we passed on and were given
cards by which we were to find our
partners for the Grand March. After
we had cut all kinds of capers in the
Grand March we found places to sit and
the program began.
From two corners of the "gym" Spanish
dancers skipped out and gave us a
regular Spanish dance. All at once a
Devil appeared in the center of the floor
and we breathed sighs of relief when we
saw that it was not Mephistopheles him
self, but Mr. Hayes. He gave us a
wonderful imitation of a jumping-jack in
the Jumping-jack Dance. From one end
of the gymnasium six gypsies appeared
with their tambourines and the panto
mime was on. All the old lovers of our
childhood appeared and many were the
chuckles caused by Simple Simon and
Jack and Jill. We half closed our eyes
and imagined we were sitting with those
wonderful nursery rhymes before us.
They all turned out to be alive, however,
when the Virginia Reel started. The
Junior class then showed us what a good
class yell and song was and the rest of
the evening was spent in dancing.
Doughnuts, cider and apples were served
to refresh the dancers.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT
[STUDENT EDITORIALS
Self-control is the beginning of right
discipline and the highest form of it, just
as self-development is considered an essential in education. According to the
old ideal, the teacher endeavored to control the pupil but the modem aim is to
have the pupil control himself. The
school should train him to this principle,
for later life will demand of him good
citizenship and self-controlled living.
Every American citizen cannot do as
he pleases and thinks best, for he is
bound by certain laws of state and nation. If he were to stop and consider
the necessity of obeying these laws, he
would realize that through them is secured to him protection of his rights and
privileges. The principle is the same
for a self-governing body of students.
Love of liberty is strengthened and ennobled by a consideration of the rights
of others. A student body is made up
of fair-minded people of great critical
abilities who recognize the fact that certain limitations must be placed upon all
for the general good. A respect for law
and authority is developed, sense of justice strengthened, and a strong school
spirit created.
Self-government appeals to the finest
sides of a student’s nature, to his personal
honor, and loyalty to the honor of his
school. The putting of a student on his
honor must be genuine, there must be
perfect frankness on the part of the
teacher and no sneaking or underhanded
practice or suspicion. Students should
be treated as though honorable actions
only are expected of them. In this way
natural relations are brought about between the teacher and pupil and they
are drawn much closer together. The
teacher wins his lasting respect and attention and becomes a real friend. Moreover, the energies spent by him in discipline may be used in study and better
presentation of the lesson,
The great aim of education and the
end of all discipline is character. Selfgovernment requires good moral standards, brings the individual under the
moral law and the voice of his own conscience. The student is called upon to
formulate his own ideas of right and
wrong. Self-government has been found
to keep examinations clean, this phase of
the plan being especially successful at
Princeton where the student is required
to sign his name to all examination papers stating that he has neither given nor
received assistance,
Self-government should come gradually and not as a sudden change. Pupils should show a tendency toward good
moral judgments and an appreciation of
right conduct before conditions are favorable for its establishment. Edinboro
Normal comes as near to realizing the
benefits of student government as is possible without the establishment of the real
system. The students realize that as
their work will be to control others they
must learn to control self. Moreover,
their efforts to discipline in the Model
School give them a better understanding
of discipline in the Normal School and a *
greater sympathy -h their teacher’s efforts towards this eud.

FOOTBALL
The season of Nineteen Thirteen has
been very successful, the team winning a
fairly good percentage of the games
played. The success of this year’s team
has depended upon the excellent coach

and head work of Captain Creen at
quarterback, and the untiring work of
Manager Hayes in securing games. With
but three of last year’s varsity men to

Coach Hayes has placed a team in the
field that has won every game in which
they were not outweighed, and has made
a good showing against teams that greatly
outweighed the Normal eleven.

EDINBORO—0. FREDONIA-0
The opening game with Fredonia
Normal resulted in a tie, neither eleven
scoring. The game was spirited and
closely contested throughout. Edinboro
kicked off and stoped Fredonia on the
twenty-five yard line. The ball was
played back and forth in the middle of
the field through the first half, Edinboro
having a slight advantage. Both sides
relied mainly on line plunges and end
runs. To lose no chance of victory the
visitor’s coach went into the game at
quarterback during the last period of play,
but this rather questionable procedure
failed to accomplish its object.
The tackling of Goodrich, Gernert and
Harbaugh was sensational throughout.
The back field was sericusly handicap

tained a sprained knee at the end of the
first quarter and was forced to retire at
the end of the half. Green ran the team
with excellent judgment, and coach, cap

for the excellent showing they made
against a heavier and more experienced
team.

EDINBORO-0. FRANKLIN-6
The eleven lost to Franklin High
School on the latter’s field, but made an
excellent showing against that heavier
team. Franklin had an unusually strong
back field and a heavy pair of guards,
one of the latter weighing 245 pounds,
the other 2 I 5 pounds.
The first half of the game was evenly
contested, neither side being able to gain
consistently. Franklin scored their only
touchdown, on a wide end run around
Edinboro’s left end, in the third quarter.
They failed to kick the goal and Edinboro chose to receive. Edinboro rapidly
advanced the ball to Franklin’s second
yard line when time for the third quarter
was called.
The fourth quarter started with the
ball in Edinboro’s possession on Frank
lin’s second yard line but she lost it on
downs. Franklin punted well up the
field and Edinboro worked the ball back
to Franklin’s twenty yard line by short,
consistent line bucks. The play ended
here. Green Shriver and Hood were
making the principal gains.

OIL CITY- 0
The eleven won a decisive victory
over the Oil City High School team on
the latter’s grounds in a clean and in
teresting contest.
In the first quarter
Edinboro kicked off and held Oil City
for downs on the first four plays. The
ball was rapidly advanced to Oil City’s
five yard line, Shriver carrying the ball
over on a split play. Hc'd kicked goal.
21
The second quarter ended with the ball
in Edinboro’s possession on Oil City’s
twenty yard line.
Edinboro received at the beginning of
the third quarter. Oil City did their best
playing in this quarter and at the end of
the period the ball •was in Normal’s pos
session on Oil City’s thirty yard line. In
the beginning of the fourth quarter Do
ing, assisted by splendid interference of
Shriver, circled left end for another touch
down. Hood’s try at goal from a dif
ficult angel, failed. The periods were
shortened to two eight and two ten min
ute periods, in order that Edinboro
might get the 4:03 train for Meadville.
The shortening of the playing time was
a decided advantage to Oil City, other
wise Normal would have run up a larger
score.
The line-up:
R. E., Goodrich; R. T., Coulter; R. G.,
Johnson; C., Harbaugh; L. G. Hayes; L. T.,

EDINBORO- 0 THIEL COLLEGE- 33
The Normal was defeated by Thiel
College at Greenville by the above score.
The muddy field and the unfavorable
weather was very favorable for Thiel’s
much heavier team, which outweighed
its opponents twenty-five pounds to the
man. The lighter men put up a plucky
but unavailing fight. The first half ended
with a score of 14-0. Considerable feel
ing is expressed at the refusal of the ref
eree to enforce penalties at the umpire’s
repeated requests, and dissatisfaction with
several decisions is fully voiced. The
rarity of such expressions tends to estab
lish the fact in this particular case. A

estimating the results of the game.

Plumb; Q. B., Green (captain); L. H. B., Hood;
R. H. B., Patterson; F. B., Shriver.
EDINBORO—7. FRANKLIN—26
The second game with Franklin High,
despite the figures of the score, was one
of the most interesting and exciting thus
far played. Had the Normal team
“ found itself ” earlier in the contest the
result would have been different.
Franklin made two touchdowns around
Normal’s left end in the first quarter and
kicked one goal. They made another
touchdown and kicked the goal, making
the score 20-0 at the end of the half.
Their next touchdown was in the first
part of the last quarter.
Green ran the team well on offense
hut did not have an opportunity to do
much in this direction as the Edinhoro
line was unable to stop the Franklin
hacks. Shriver was the star of the game
both on offense and defense. He scored
Normal’s only touchdown. In so doing
he was pushed into the goal post and his
chin badly cut. Mahan took his place.
Hood kicked the goal. Patterson clev
erly intercepted a Franklin forward pass
at the time when Franklin had the ball
on Edinboro’s fifteen yard line. The ball
was then punted out of the danger terri
tory.
The line-up:
R. E., Goodrich; R. T., Coulter; R. G.,
Johnson; C., Harbaugh; L. G., Hayes, Doing,

EDINBORO—27. PLEASANTVILLE—6
In a hard, cleanly-played contest the
eleven defeated the Pleasantville High
School team on Normal’s field by the
above score. The attendance was much
THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY
larger than usual and the support by way
of songs and cheers was excellent.
Edinboro started in by "talking it up."
This seemed to have the desired effect, as
every Edinboro man put his full strength
and speed into the game with the sound
of the first whistle. Touchdowns were
made in each quarter. Coulter made
the first on a line buck; Green the sec
ond on a split play; Hood the third on a
short end run, and Goodrich the last on
a wide end run. Hood kicked three
goals. The ball was dropped on the
punt out after the third touchdown. In
the last quarter one of the Pleasantville
backs picked up the ball on Edinboro’s
fumble and scored their only touchdown.
The Edinboro line showed a decided
improvement in their playing as compar
ed with the last game. The back field
formed better interference than they had
shown in any other game.
The line-up.

EDINBORO—0. SLIPPERY
ROCK—101
The eleven shared a hard fate at Slip
pery Rock. The latter team shutting
them out by the above score. The su
perior weight of the Slippery Rock team
gave it an advantage that could not be
offset and rendered it invincible so far as
Edinboro was concerned. The Edin
boro men were outweighed forty pounds
to the man, and while they put up a
game fight to the end they were unable
to hold fheir heavy opponents. The
Slippery Rock touchdowns were made on
23
consistent gains of from eight to twelve
yards, once or twice on long for
ward passes, but the Slippery Rock men
depended on their weight mostly and on
their interference, which was nearly per
fect on end runs and line bucks. The
Edinboro men showed their grit and en
durance by holding their opponents to
fewer touchdowns in the last quarter
than in any other part of the game.
The line-up.
R. E., Goodrich, Plumb; R. T., Coulter, Hayes;
R. G., Johnson; C., Harbaugh, Coulter; L. G.,
hdurray; L. T., Blakeslee; L. E., Gvatsovsky;
Q. B., Green (captain); L. H. B., Doing; R.
H. B„ Ghering; F. B., Shriver, Mahan.
EDINBORO—13. CORRY HIGH
SCHOOL-0
Edinboro easily demonstrated her su
periority to the Corry team, winning by
a score of 1 3-0, Patterson was the only
regular back-field man in the game for
Normal. Captain Green, Shriver and
Hood were out of the game on account
of injuries. The line played a strong
game at all times. Considering the inex
perience of the second string men in the
back field, they played a remsnkable
game. Patterson scored both touch
downs on shift plays in the third quarter.
He kicked one goal. The work of the
Edinboro ends in going down the field
under punts was exceptional for a muddy
field; several times the Corry men were
tackled the instant they had the ball.
The game ended on Corry’s forty yard
‘line.
The line-up:
R. E., Goodrich; R. T., Coulter; R. G.,
Johnson; C., Harbaugh; L. G., Babcock; L. T.,

L. H. B., Hayes; R. H. B., Patterson (acting

EDINBORO-6.
WESTFIELD-0
In one of the cleanest, fastests and most
interesting games of the season the home
eleven defeated the Westfield High
School team by a score of 6 to 0.
The home team played a strong and
consistent game from the first whistle to
the last.
The Edinboro goal was never in im
mediate danger as Westfield did not ad
vance beyond Edinboro’s forty yard line.
Westfield made two first downs to
Edinboro five. The tackling of Good
rich, Harbaugh, Johnson and others was
one of the features of the game.
The touchdown came in the first
quarter when Green made a thirty-five
yard run.

The outlook for a successful basket
ball season is unusually good this year.
We have three men out of last year’s
squad to build around, Harbaugh at
center; Shriver at guard, and Hood at
forward. Last year’s class teams should
furnish some good material for the Var

ORGANIZATION OF THE TRAINING SCHOOL
Owing to the waste in competition
between the Normal Model School and
the Edinboro Public School, the people
of the borough, by a general vote, decided to accept a plan offered by the
officers of the NtSJnal School, for the
union of the two ^hools. The terms of ^
the contract, between the two parties
are in brief as follows:
The Normal School ; pays to the
Board of.; Education, twelve hundred
dollars annually; '^be Board receives all
State money paid tP the school; the
Normal furnishes, free of charge, instruo
THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY
lion for the eleventh and twelfth grades
of the High School; the Normal Instruc
tor in Education has charge of the super
vision of critic and practice teachers of
the first eight grades; and the children of
the Public School are being instructed
at the expense of the Normal in vocal
music, physical training, drawing and
any vocational subjects, that the course
of study will allow for.
In return for the above, the Seniors of
the Normal are allowed to do their
regular practice teaching in the first eight
grades of the Public School; the School
Bosnd furnishes all supplies and books,
employs four critic teachers, and a high
school principal, who has charge of the
discipline of the whole school.
At this writing, the plan has been in
operation for nine weeks, and although a
change of such far-reaching nature al
ways brings more or less difficulty of
adjustment, we consider that it has done
all that the most sanguine exponents have
claimed for it. The Board elected four
critic teachers, the regular public school
teachers for the first six grades, and Miss
Ruby Anderson for the seventh and
eighth grades. For principal Mr. H. H.
Denison, A. B., of Allegheny College,
was elected.
We believe that the Public School
will profit much by the change. Music
is taught, daily, from the primary through
the eighth grade. Drawing is taught
throughout the grades; and the four
upper grades are each given two fortyfive minute periods a week in the gym
nasium. For the jnusic and drawing
instruction Mbs Th^as and Miss
Powell spend a part erf each day in the
Public School building. Mr. Stancliffe
9
supervises the writing. The supervisor,
Mr. Freeland, spends all of his time, ex
cept two forty-five minute periods a day,
in the Public School. With the help of
the critic teachers, it is his endeavor to
employ the most recent and best meth
ods in the teaching of every subject.
The good of the pupils is placed above
the training of the Seniors. It is our de
sire to make every student of the Public
School feel an interest in his work; and
that the school is a place where he can
be happy and have enough work to
keep his growing intellect well stimulated.
Although the school is not called a
model school, we hope to make it such,
that it may serve as a model to all pro
gressive school boards of this section.
The Seniors are made to feel, that in
this work, there can be no slack prepara
tion, for here they are dealing with
human beings. Mr. Baker has explained
to them that their teaching is the first
subject to be considered. By the new
plan, they receive a great advantage, in
being allowed to get their practice in a
real public school, where real problems
of discipline and of interesting and hold
ing the attention of large classes are met.
Every lesson must be planned one week
in advance, and handed in to the critic
teacher in time to be corrected and to
have suggestions made before the lesson
is taught.
Grade meetings are held every
Wednesday morning, in which the
Seniors, together with the critic teachers
discuss the work of the grades in which
they teach, the individual pupils under
them, and whatever is for the general
good of the grade.
The critic teachers are working in an
10
THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY
active and interested manner They all
agree, that while the new work is more
pleasant and allows for the consider
ation of higher educational prob
lems, there is necessity for just as
much or more work than there was
before. The Superintendent wishes
to commend them for the manner
in which they have taken up the new
responsibilities.
Mr. Denison has instituted a chapel
service, which calls for a program from
one room each morning. These pro
grams have become very interesting to
the school, and are of great value to
those who take part.
One feature that makes us feel that
the plan is a complete success, is the
harmony which exists throughout the
whole school. Everybody who is in
contact with the work seems pleased
with its operation, and all are working
together to make the new scheme a
success. There is no doubt that the
Normal Seniors get a great deal of good
from the new plan, and the Public
School is surely profiting by the help
the Normal is able to offer in both in
struction and equipment. This should
be all the more pleasing to the members
of the district, because there are no
extra taxes to pay for all the benefits,
which they obtain. The School Board
has shown excellent spirit in furnishing
everything that is necessary to make the
best school possible, while Principal
Baker has offered us anything in the line
of equipment, books from the libraury, or
assistance in instruction that the Normal
is able to furnish.

PLAY
[STUDENT EDITORIAL]
People have not always recognized
the educational value of play; they have
regarded it as a frivolous thing and not to
be tolerated in the school room. From
the time of Plato to the present day,
there have been some people who have
realized its real importance. Play is a
natural instinct found not only in men but
in all forms of animal life. Through play
the physical and mental powers are de
veloped which prepare for the great tasks
of life. It also affords rest and refresh
ment for worn out mental powers and re
laxation for the body.
It is a significant fact that as we ascend
the scale of animal life we find the play
period growing longer until in man we
find it the longest. Happily there are
some people who have reached old age
and yet have not forgotten how to play.
It is our business to be glad. Cheerful
ness keeps one out of ruts and in the at
titude of enjoying life.
There are two ways of utilizing play
in education,—by introducing the play
element into work and by using play as
a means of development. Both methods
are natural to us but it is the play ele
ment which is used by the teacher in the
classroom. Since play is a natural in
stinct, it might better be used and made
the best of than creating something new.
The Puritans crushed out these natural
emotions and as a result made themselves
stiff and uninviting.
Schiller has said that a man is fully
human only when he plays and the
teacher who has forgotten how to pfe|^
and who holds his class to close work by
a strict sense of duty, is not dealing justly
with himself and his pupils. It has aptly
been said that the strings of a zither and
the cord of a bow should not always be
taut if the instrument is to retain its use
fulness, and so should there be freedom
from restraint in recitations.
It is for the teacher to decide whether
his class shall be enjoyable and the stu
dents feel free to express themselves. If
he Is in sympathy with the work and in a
happy frame of mind, in other words, if
he has the play attitude, he can get much
better results from the students than if
they are constantly kept at close work
with their nerves at a strain. There is
such a thing as teaching without having
the pupil know he is putting forth effort
to learn. Unconsciously, he is using all
his power and his Individual qualities are
brought out and developed.
All play involves work. One of the
chief ends of education is to develop a
habit of joyousness in work, and the more
one loves play the more likely will he be
to love work. Edinboro Normal stu
dents have fortunately succeeded in com
bining work and the spirit of play, and,
as a result, studies are not a drag and
recitations a bore, for they work with a
real joy.

THE GHOST AND GOBLIN PARTY
[JANE RIBLET, '14\
" What are you going to wear," was
the question that echoed and re-echoed
in Haven Hall.
"Something must be going on," you
said.
My dear reader, the annual Hal
lowe’en party was at hand and such a
scurrying as we made trying to find
enough feathers for our hair and brace
lets and "jangles." After we had bothered
everyone else to death about how we
looked we started forth to the gymnasium.
When we had assured the doorkeeper
by our cards, that we were not inter
lopers, we passed on and were given
cards by which we were to find our
partners for the Grand March. After
we had cut all kinds of capers in the
Grand March we found places to sit and
the program began.
From two corners of the "gym" Spanish
dancers skipped out and gave us a
regular Spanish dance. All at once a
Devil appeared in the center of the floor
and we breathed sighs of relief when we
saw that it was not Mephistopheles him
self, but Mr. Hayes. He gave us a
wonderful imitation of a jumping-jack in
the Jumping-jack Dance. From one end
of the gymnasium six gypsies appeared
with their tambourines and the panto
mime was on. All the old lovers of our
childhood appeared and many were the
chuckles caused by Simple Simon and
Jack and Jill. We half closed our eyes
and imagined we were sitting with those
wonderful nursery rhymes before us.
They all turned out to be alive, however,
when the Virginia Reel started. The
Junior class then showed us what a good
class yell and song was and the rest of
the evening was spent in dancing.
Doughnuts, cider and apples were served
to refresh the dancers.

THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY
STUDENT GOVERNMENT
[STUDENT EDITORIALS
Self-control is the beginning of right
discipline and the highest form of it, just
as self-development is considered an essential in education. According to the
old ideal, the teacher endeavored to control the pupil but the modem aim is to
have the pupil control himself. The
school should train him to this principle,
for later life will demand of him good
citizenship and self-controlled living.
Every American citizen cannot do as
he pleases and thinks best, for he is
bound by certain laws of state and nation. If he were to stop and consider
the necessity of obeying these laws, he
would realize that through them is secured to him protection of his rights and
privileges. The principle is the same
for a self-governing body of students.
Love of liberty is strengthened and ennobled by a consideration of the rights
of others. A student body is made up
of fair-minded people of great critical
abilities who recognize the fact that certain limitations must be placed upon all
for the general good. A respect for law
and authority is developed, sense of justice strengthened, and a strong school
spirit created.
Self-government appeals to the finest
sides of a student’s nature, to his personal
honor, and loyalty to the honor of his
school. The putting of a student on his
honor must be genuine, there must be
perfect frankness on the part of the
teacher and no sneaking or underhanded
practice or suspicion. Students should
be treated as though honorable actions
only are expected of them. In this way
natural relations are brought about between the teacher and pupil and they
are drawn much closer together. The
teacher wins his lasting respect and attention and becomes a real friend. Moreover, the energies spent by him in discipline may be used in study and better
presentation of the lesson,
The great aim of education and the
end of all discipline is character. Selfgovernment requires good moral standards, brings the individual under the
moral law and the voice of his own conscience. The student is called upon to
formulate his own ideas of right and
wrong. Self-government has been found
to keep examinations clean, this phase of
the plan being especially successful at
Princeton where the student is required
to sign his name to all examination papers stating that he has neither given nor
received assistance,
Self-government should come gradually and not as a sudden change. Pupils should show a tendency toward good
moral judgments and an appreciation of
right conduct before conditions are favorable for its establishment. Edinboro
Normal comes as near to realizing the
benefits of student government as is possible without the establishment of the real
system. The students realize that as
their work will be to control others they
must learn to control self. Moreover,
their efforts to discipline in the Model
School give them a better understanding
of discipline in the Normal School and a *
greater sympathy -h their teacher’s efforts towards this eud.

FOOTBALL
The season of Nineteen Thirteen has
been very successful, the team winning a
fairly good percentage of the games
played. The success of this year’s team
has depended upon the excellent coach
ing of Mr. Hayes, the consistent playing
and head work of Captain Creen at
quarterback, and the untiring work of
Manager Hayes in securing games. With
but three of last year’s varsity men to

build around. Green, Shriver and Hood,
Coach Hayes has placed a team in the
field that has won every game in which
they were not outweighed, and has made
a good showing against teams that greatly
outweighed the Normal eleven.

EDINBORO—0. FREDONIA-0
The opening game with Fredonia
Normal resulted in a tie, neither eleven
scoring. The game was spirited and
closely contested throughout. Edinboro
kicked off and stoped Fredonia on the
twenty-five yard line. The ball was
played back and forth in the middle of
the field through the first half, Edinboro
having a slight advantage. Both sides
relied mainly on line plunges and end
runs. To lose no chance of victory the
visitor’s coach went into the game at
quarterback during the last period of play,
but this rather questionable procedure
failed to accomplish its object.
The tackling of Goodrich, Gernert and
Harbaugh was sensational throughout.
The back field was sericusly handicap

tained a sprained knee at the end of the
first quarter and was forced to retire at
the end of the half. Green ran the team
with excellent judgment, and coach, cap

for the excellent showing they made
against a heavier and more experienced
team.

THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY
EDINBORO-0. FRANKLIN-6
The eleven lost to Franklin High
School on the latter’s field, but made an
excellent showing against that heavier
team. Franklin had an unusually strong
back field and a heavy pair of guards,
one of the latter weighing 245 pounds,
the other 2 I 5 pounds.
The first half of the game was evenly
contested, neither side being able to gain
consistently. Franklin scored their only
touchdown, on a wide end run around
Edinboro’s left end, in the third quarter.
They failed to kick the goal and Edinboro chose to receive. Edinboro rapidly
advanced the ball to Franklin’s second
yard line when time for the third quarter
was called.
The fourth quarter started with the
ball in Edinboro’s possession on Frank
lin’s second yard line but she lost it on
downs. Franklin punted well up the
field and Edinboro worked the ball back
to Franklin’s twenty yard line by short,
consistent line bucks. The play ended
here. Green Shriver and Hood were
making the principal gains.
The line-up;

OIL CITY- 0
The eleven won a decisive victory
over the Oil City High School team on
the latter’s grounds in a clean and in
teresting contest.
In the first quarter
Edinboro kicked off and held Oil City
for downs on the first four plays. The
ball was rapidly advanced to Oil City’s
five yard line, Shriver carrying the ball
over on a split play. Hc'd kicked goal.
21
The second quarter ended with the ball
in Edinboro’s possession on Oil City’s
twenty yard line.
Edinboro received at the beginning of
the third quarter. Oil City did their best
playing in this quarter and at the end of
the period the ball •was in Normal’s pos
session on Oil City’s thirty yard line. In
the beginning of the fourth quarter Do
ing, assisted by splendid interference of
Shriver, circled left end for another touch
down. Hood’s try at goal from a dif
ficult angel, failed. The periods were
shortened to two eight and two ten min
ute periods, in order that Edinboro
might get the 4:03 train for Meadville.
The shortening of the playing time was
a decided advantage to Oil City, other
wise Normal would have run up a larger
score.
The line-up:
R. E., Goodrich; R. T., Coulter; R. G.,
Johnson; C., Harbaugh; L. G. Hayes; L. T.,

tain; L. H. B., Hood; R. H. B., Doing; F. B.,

EDINBORO- 0 THIEL COLLEGE- 33
The Normal was defeated by Thiel
College at Greenville by the above score.
The muddy field and the unfavorable
weather was very favorable for Thiel’s
much heavier team, which outweighed
its opponents twenty-five pounds to the
man. The lighter men put up a plucky
but unavailing fight. The first half ended
with a score of 14-0. Considerable feel
ing is expressed at the refusal of the ref
eree to enforce penalties at the umpire’s
repeated requests, and dissatisfaction with
several decisions is fully voiced. The
rarity of such expressions tends to estab
lish the fact in this particular case. A
delayed train and consequently a late ar

rival must also be taken into account in
estimating the results of the game.
The line-up:

Plumb; Q. B., Green (captain); L. H. B., Hood;
R. H. B., Patterson; F. B., Shriver.
EDINBORO—7. FRANKLIN—26
The second game with Franklin High,
despite the figures of the score, was one
of the most interesting and exciting thus
far played. Had the Normal team
“ found itself ” earlier in the contest the
result would have been different.
Franklin made two touchdowns around
Normal’s left end in the first quarter and
kicked one goal. They made another
touchdown and kicked the goal, making
the score 20-0 at the end of the half.
Their next touchdown was in the first
part of the last quarter.
Green ran the team well on offense
hut did not have an opportunity to do
much in this direction as the Edinhoro
line was unable to stop the Franklin
hacks. Shriver was the star of the game
both on offense and defense. He scored
Normal’s only touchdown. In so doing
he was pushed into the goal post and his
chin badly cut. Mahan took his place.
Hood kicked the goal. Patterson clev
erly intercepted a Franklin forward pass
at the time when Franklin had the ball
on Edinboro’s fifteen yard line. The ball
was then punted out of the danger terri
tory.
The line-up:
R. E., Goodrich; R. T., Coulter; R. G.,
Johnson; C., Harbaugh; L. G., Hayes, Doing,
Murray; L. T., Blakeslee, Rusterholtz; L. E.,

EDINBORO—27. PLEASANTVILLE—6
In a hard, cleanly-played contest the
eleven defeated the Pleasantville High
School team on Normal’s field by the
above score. The attendance was much
THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY
larger than usual and the support by way
of songs and cheers was excellent.
Edinboro started in by "talking it up."
This seemed to have the desired effect, as
every Edinboro man put his full strength
and speed into the game with the sound
of the first whistle. Touchdowns were
made in each quarter. Coulter made
the first on a line buck; Green the sec
ond on a split play; Hood the third on a
short end run, and Goodrich the last on
a wide end run. Hood kicked three
goals. The ball was dropped on the
punt out after the third touchdown. In
the last quarter one of the Pleasantville
backs picked up the ball on Edinboro’s
fumble and scored their only touchdown.
The Edinboro line showed a decided
improvement in their playing as compar
ed with the last game. The back field
formed better interference than they had
shown in any other game.
The line-up.
R, E., Goodrich; R. T., Coulter; R. G., John

H. B., Doing; F. B., Mahan.
EDINBORO—0. SLIPPERY
ROCK—101
The eleven shared a hard fate at Slip
pery Rock. The latter team shutting
them out by the above score. The su
perior weight of the Slippery Rock team
gave it an advantage that could not be
offset and rendered it invincible so far as
Edinboro was concerned. The Edin
boro men were outweighed forty pounds
to the man, and while they put up a
game fight to the end they were unable
to hold fheir heavy opponents. The
Slippery Rock touchdowns were made on
23
consistent gains of from eight to twelve
yards, once or twice on long for
ward passes, but the Slippery Rock men
depended on their weight mostly and on
their interference, which was nearly per
fect on end runs and line bucks. The
Edinboro men showed their grit and en
durance by holding their opponents to
fewer touchdowns in the last quarter
than in any other part of the game.
The line-up.
R. E., Goodrich, Plumb; R. T., Coulter, Hayes;
R. G., Johnson; C., Harbaugh, Coulter; L. G.,
hdurray; L. T., Blakeslee; L. E., Gvatsovsky;
Q. B., Green (captain); L. H. B., Doing; R.
H. B„ Ghering; F. B., Shriver, Mahan.
EDINBORO—13. CORRY HIGH
SCHOOL-0
Edinboro easily demonstrated her su
periority to the Corry team, winning by
a score of 1 3-0, Patterson was the only
regular back-field man in the game for
Normal. Captain Green, Shriver and
Hood were out of the game on account
of injuries. The line played a strong
game at all times. Considering the inex
perience of the second string men in the
back field, they played a remsnkable
game. Patterson scored both touch
downs on shift plays in the third quarter.
He kicked one goal. The work of the
Edinboro ends in going down the field
under punts was exceptional for a muddy
field; several times the Corry men were
tackled the instant they had the ball.
The game ended on Corry’s forty yard
‘line.
The line-up:
R. E., Goodrich; R. T., Coulter; R. G.,
Johnson; C., Harbaugh; L. G., Babcock; L. T.,
Blakeslee; L. E., Gvatsovsky; Q. B., Plumb;
L. H. B., Hayes; R. H. B., Patterson (acting
captain); F. B., Mahan.

EDINBORO-6.
WESTFIELD-0
In one of the cleanest, fastests and most
interesting games of the season the home
eleven defeated the Westfield High
School team by a score of 6 to 0.
The home team played a strong and
consistent game from the first whistle to
the last.
The Edinboro goal was never in im
mediate danger as Westfield did not ad
vance beyond Edinboro’s forty yard line.
Westfield made two first downs to
Edinboro five. The tackling of Good
rich, Harbaugh, Johnson and others was
one of the features of the game.
The touchdown came in the first
quarter when Green made a thirty-five
yard run.

THE OUTLOOK FOR BASKETBALL
The outlook for a successful basket
ball season is unusually good this year.
We have three men out of last year’s
squad to build around, Harbaugh at
center; Shriver at guard, and Hood at
forward. Last year’s class teams should
furnish some good material for the Var
sity. At the present time we have games
scheduled with Westfield High School,
Franklin High School, Corry High
