3fool TMflass of Spelling.
“ P s y c h e ; what a fool way to spell fish,” exclaimed a sixth
grade school boy, and we all laughed at his mistake. But after
all, why should we laugh? Are we not teaching our pupils to
spell many words with combinations of letters that have little
more similarity to the sound of the word than psyche has to fish?
Phthisic or phthisis, for example— these, of course, are extreme
cases, but there are hundreds of words disguised and disfigured
by doubled consonants and silent letters that have no part or
value in the sound of the word, and these lawless absurdities are
the bane of our spelling.
A few very bad spells of phthisic or phthisis might be sur­
vived as other diseases are, and excused on the plea of their
foreign birth, their very oddity making them easy to remember,
but to be constantly tripped up by lurking double consonants,
silent letters or a misleading final e is exasperating and discour­
aging.
Our spelling is in the main phonetic. W e ordinarily expect
to find the sound of words fairly represented by the spelling.
Children begin to spell with a sort of tacit understanding that
spelling is the putting together of those letters whose combined
sounds will equal the sound of the word. In most cases this is
what is required, but there are so many exceptions that the
child soon loses all confidence in any judgment he may form as
to how a word ought to be spelled. He starts with jam, ham,
Sam, dam, slam, and has no difficulty. But he no sooner begins
to feel some assurance as to the connection between the sounds
of words and the sounds of the letters used to spell them than he
is called down for spelling lamb lam, or calm cam.

*

TH E NORMAL* SCHOOI* HERAED

This being learned by sheer effort of memory he starts again
with bed, red, led, Ned, fed, etc. His hope revives, but is soon
cut off by the demand of head for hed and said for sed where the
same sound is represented by totally different letters.
It is but natural that he soon becomes suspicious of any spell­
ing that seems simple and easy, and makes desperate attempts at
all kinds of strange and grotesque combinations, hoping by some
good luck to strike the right formula for the given word. It is
quite natural that after being corrected, and probably laughed at.
for spelling his thumb thum and his toe to and his head hed and
his limb lim, he should hesitate to spell his leg by anything so
simple and reasonable as leg. He is dumfounded and found
dumb.
Our spelling is to the learner like one who generally tells
the truth, but about one statement in ten is a lie; consequently,
he is never believed. No one can guess how a word is spelled;
he may judge how it ought to be spelled, but that will not help
him, more likely mislead him.
The only way to learn to spell is to grind, grind, grind at
the spelling book; load the memory with arbitrary lists of letters
which current usage has adopted to represent the words. This
is slavish work, and endless, for not one man in a thousand can
write on an unfamiliar subject without consulting his dictionary
to see how to spell some of the words.
But the most serious objection to our spelling is that, tho
acquired at so great a cost of patient labor, it is of no value when
achieved. It adds nothing of value to our store of knowledge; it
cultivates no mental faculty; it gives no grace or refinement to
the soul. The only possible advantage which can be hoped for
is the slight and inaccurate indication of the etymology furnished
by the spelling. This is slight, because only a small number of
words indicate their etymology by their spelling that do not indi­
cate it quite as clearly by their sound; and inaccurate because
many words indicate an origin that is false— as island or rhyme.
Moreover, the indications are so obscure and uncertain that no
one can trust them, but must consult the dictionary to confirm
his judgment. So that the practical value of spelling as an index
of etymology is reduced to the small and doubtful office of a re­
minder of what we have elsewhere learned.

The hardship of our spelling is the more grievous because
for the most part it is easily remedied.
The suggestions of the Simplified Spelling Board are reason­
able, moderate and practicable. They would lighten the burden
of spelling by at least two-thirds of its weight. They are not so
radical as to render words difficult to recognize, nor so numerous
as to require much time to learn them.
For those of us who have learned to spell according to pres­
ent usage it may be hardly worth while to change, but why should
we persist in teaching such ‘ ‘fool ways of spelling” to generation
after generation of innocent children who have done us no harm?

Editorial.
It is generally agreed, by school men that the best work of
the year is done in the fall term. Various causes tend to produce
this result, but it is not our purpose to analyze them. The great
majority of teachers and students get down to hard work at once
and the importance of the fall and early winter work can hardly
be overestimated.
These are the days when some students insist on getting
homesick and want to go home. Some of them go. “ Be you
ever so homely, there’s no place like home.” We have sym­
pathy for the homesick boy or girl, but we have much more ad­
miration for him that grits his teeth, swallows hard and sticks
it out. Thousands of young men and women in this country
have missed a liberal education by yielding to the longing for
home. Show your nerve and stick it out.
jt
These are also the days when many a district teacher feels
that she can never go thru the term. She wants to go home.
W e know what it is to teach miles and miles from home in a
neighborhood where we do not find people very congenial. But
it is never quite so bad as we think it is. There is at least one
redeeming feature if we will look for it— often several and the em-

ployment of will power is of great advantage. Frequently one
gets into a slump thru lack of physical exercise, and in such a
case there is nothing better than a good hard tramp. The slump
will generally have disappeared by the time we get back.
j*
Practically every up-to-date teacher now takes a course in
professional reading thru the school year— two or three books
and a school paper suited to her needs. A most excellent plan
is to take the paper to the school house and read it at odd inter­
vals. Even if nothing “ practical” is found, the inspiration will
be of great value. The Normal graduate must not feel that the
professional training received at school is sufficient. Regardless
of previous preparation, the teacher that does not spend some
time on educational literature will soon get into a rut and teach
along year after year in the same old way. I f comparisons were
not odious, it might be interesting to consider the question as to
who shows the greater professional spirit— the teacher in the
public schools or the teacher connected with Normal School,
Academy, College or University ?
j*
The question of educational literature brings to our attention
the fact that a new school paper has been launched in Pennsyl­
vania, The Teachers’ Friend, “ an up-to-date school journal of
practical work,” published monthly at Eewisburg, Pa., J. E.
Mumma, editor and publisher. The first number has just ap­
peared, and among the contributors are the editor of the H e r a e d
and H . Z. Goas, a member of our last year’s faculty. The paper
is especially intended for the public school teacher, and contains
many useful methods and suggestions. There is room for just
such a paper in this state, and we wish for it a long and useful
existence.
During the past three years we have had the opportunity of
coming quite closely in touch with educational matters in Mary­
land and find much to admire. Dr. M. Bates Stephens is a most
successful and popular state superintendent. The men at the
head of county affairs are wide-awake, energetic and efficient.
Judging the teachers from the view point afforded at county in­
stitutes we have only words of commendation. Their county

system seems to work out advantageously and in some respects
is superior to our township, borough and city systems. Their
nine-month minimum term is a credit to the state. The literature
issued by the state department and put into the hands of every
teacher is helpful, stimulating and inspiring. The Normal
schools demand high school graduation for admission, or a twoyear preparatory academic course at the Normal. Taken alto­
gether, Maryland is to be complimented on its educational stand­
ing.
It is not too early to again begin agitation of educational
matters in Pennsylvania, looking to the passage of a new school
code, at the next session of the legislature. Took at the states
that bound us north, east, south and west and we find a longer
Tninitnnm term. But of course we can’t afford more than seven
months and the boy in the country has no right to demand as
good an education as his cousin in the city. We have no wealth,
not much coal or iron or petroleum or timber; not many rich
agricultural counties, not many industrial centers. And look at
the state debt— just none at all. W on’t some kind-hearted soul
give us some money that our boys and girls on the farms may
not have a five-month vacation each year ? Of course, we have a
real nice capitol and it is undoubtedly better to spend our money
that way. For post cards with views of the capitol are just too
sweet, and at the close of a seven-month term every boy and girl
ought to be given one. Tet them take them home and let father
and mother do some thinking.

and Quebec the early part of August.
Prof. Heiges and family spent most of the summer at the

Prof. Stewart, after a few weeks at home, put in about a
month in the interest of the school, following chiefly the main
line of the Pa. R. R. and breaking into some new territory.
He reports a pleasant and succesful canvass.
Since the last issue of the H e r a l d , Miss Hartley’s resigna­
tion has been accepted. We understand she will be a member of
the faculty of Irving College this year.
Dr. Eckels, of last year’s faculty, is now comfortably settled
in his new home at Easton, as a member of Lafayette faculty.
Miss Noble has begun work in the Norristown High School.
Prof. Goas is busy in the Orange High School and Prof. Cure
has a responsible business position in Wilkesbarre.
Miss Alice Huber returned the first week of school from a
delightful trip thru Germany. W e have not heard her say, but
take it for granted, she has learned to eat pretzels, sauer kraut
and limburger and to drinkSer— appolinaris.
While still an unmarried man, Prof. Newman was an able
representation of the school in several counties adjoining Cum­
berland. Prof. Newman has demonstrated his ability as a studentgetter, and is gaining an enviable acquaintance thronghout this
section of the state.
As newly married people are a rare thing in this faculty,
some preparation was made to show appreciation of the fact.
The rooms occupied some years ago by Prof, and Mrs. Heiges
have been thoroughly overhauled and with new floor, new walls
and new furnishings are now the cheerful abode of Prof, and
Mrs. Newman. The neighboring suite forms the abode of a
lonesome bachelor, but he has not yet given up hope.
Mrs. Wolff, our efficient matron, and daughters, Misses
Gertrude and Dorothy, spent a few weeks during July at their
old home in Franklin county. Eater the kiddies took a trip all
by themselves, visiting friends in and around Harrisburg.
Miss Horton, our popular and able preceptress, was at the
Normal most of the summer, making a few flying visits in the
interest of the school. A t the beginning of vacation she bought
a hammock. Query— Did she use that hammock selfishly, or
did she share it ?

where she has won a most excellent reputation as teacher of elo­

completed the three-year course in these subjects. Miss Liver­
more receives a hearty welcome here and we hope she may long
find her work and home with us.
Prof. Channing E. Sweitzer, who made a host of friends last

flower cards. Special features of the program were a fantastic
band, a pipe organ of eight girls, playing various tunes, and
most pleasing to many, a representation of each member o f the

been so well studied that no label in any case was necessary.
After this social converse was indulged in, to say nothing of

On the evening after our arrival an “ open air” reception
was given on the campus, and while seated under the trees we
were given a very helpful address by Miss Harris.
On the following Sunday evening a “ Conference Echo” was

f . /ID. The prospects for a good year in the Y . M. C. A . never
were brighter. On Saturday evening, Sept. 18th, a joint Y . W .
and Y . M. C. A . reception was held, which was very successful
and did much towards getting the new students acquainted. W e
are rejoicing now because of a Bible Study Rally which was held
on Sunday evening, Sept. 19th, at which time nearly all the boys,
new and old, signed up for Bible study.
There will be six classes organized using the following
courses:
1. Life and Works of Jesus, by W. D. Murray.
2. Life of Paul, by Leacock.
3. New Studies in Acts, by Dean Bosworth, of Oberlin Col­
lege.
The last-named study is particularly adapted to seniors. The
rest may be either juniors or middlers. When we stop to think
of the great truths and precious promises contained in that grand
old Book of books, we will not be sorry because of our efforts to
get every fellow enrolled in Bible study.
We have also organized a Y . M. C. A . chorus, which will
help us out greatly in our meetings.
Let us remember that “ United we stand, divided we fall,”
and let us all pull together with a will and realizing that Christ
demands it; may we also do our utmost to further this work here
below, and to make this the banner year in the Y . M. C. A .

Colleges ©rabuallp adopting tbe aiutbe«lear
•fltounb Abea.
The leading universities of the United States are gradually
drifting toward an all-year term and the adoption oi the German
system, by which a student may take his degree whenever he
shows himself worthy, regardless of the length of time spent in
preparation. The tendency is constantly to broaden the scope of
university influence and make it possible for ambitious poor men
and women to take college degrees as well as the sons and daughof the rich.
A few years ago everything was done by rule. There were
nine months of college and three of vacation. The exact work
of each student in each course was regulated, and if the student
could not, or would not, take the course exactly as regulated he
would not be allowed to attend the university at all. He could
not by extra work take his bachelor’s degree in three years, nor
if a trifle backward in some studies, would he be allowed to
spread the course over five years. The change from these fixed
rules that has taken place at the University of Pennsylvania is
typical of the progress in all the leading institutions throughout
the country. The first step was the establishment of a com­
mencement in December, at which those who were not quite
ready to take their degrees in June were allowed to graduate
without having to wait until the following June.
In 1902 came the first big step in the line of this progress.
In all the classical courses in that year the strict, absolute re­
quirements were abolished, and a system was adopted by which
half of the course was mapped out by the faculty, but the student
was left a large range of choice as to the balance, taking those
subjects which he most fancied. It was also provided that a
student might divide his required work between the various years
as he chose, making it possible for a very bright and industrious
man to take his degree in three years, for a slower one to extend
it over five years.
Johns Hopkins, Yale, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Chicago, in
fact, almost all of the leading colleges of the country, have in re­
cent years established summer schools. These were originally
intended as a help to those students who failed in their spring
examinations, so that they might make up the deficiencies and go

IS

ahead with their regular classes in the fall. So many outsiders,
especially teachers, however, grasped the opportunity of thus get­
ting a smattering of college learning that the original object was
soon lost sight of. A t Pennsylvania, for instance, the summer
school has had such a remarkable growth that now it presents
practically all the courses given during the regular winter term.
Night schools have also sprung up, enabling young men who
cannot spare the time to go to college in the daytime to round out
their education by working in the evenings. The night school
connected with the Wharton school, of the University of Penn­
sylvania, has been well attended and very successful.
As yet these summer and night schools are not connected
directly with the regular curriculum, and while the same courses
are presented it is not yet possible to attain the regular college
degrees by work in them. The tendency to make pure merit
rather than time spent in preparation the test for the degrees is
progressing rapidly, and it is only a matter of a short time until
the German system, by which a man enters the university and
gets his degree whenever he proves his fitness for it, will be
adopted. Then work in the day, the summer, and the night
schools will all be on a par, and the poor youth fired by ambition
may give himself a college education and receive as a symbol
thereof the collegiate degree by studying in the summer, at night,
or whenever he is able.
A t Pennsylvania at last there is a strong sentiment in favor
of doing away with the summer as a time for total vacation and
having college in full blast all year ’round. With the buildings
and equipment worth millions of dollars, it is pointed out that it
is sheer waste of money to have them shut down for three months
each year. I f this plan should be adopted, the college year would
be divided into four terms. Students and professors alike would
be given one term’s holiday each year, but some would take it at
one time and some at another, keeping the University in full
swing all year. A student would be allowed to enter at any term
and would be graduated whenever he had completed his work,
regardless of the time spent in doing so.
Advocates of this system point to the success of the summer
school as proof that the students are willing to work in the hot
weather, and claim that if this work were allowed to count toward

a collegiate degree the number would be much increased. The cur­
riculum of the University of Chicago is further advanced along
these lines than that of any other American institution. It al­
ready allows a man to graduate whenever he has completed his
work; but it has not yet arrived at the all-year college. Philadet

of beads, and at the same time proudly showed him a bead which
she had kept as a memento of a white man’s visit a half century
before. “ A h ,” said Cooky, “ The Venerable Bede.” A t this

the lady laughed long and loud, at the same time displaying two
more tu sk s; but as she was still wearing them Cooky made no
attempt to negotiate a deal.
They fed him on blubber until he was ready to cry, and on
being urged to eat more, sternly refused the delicacy. Evidently
he hurt the feelings of the young girl that offered it, for noticing
her emotion he witnessed a marvelous physical change— she had
turned to blubber.
In the evening the man of the house brought in some seal
skins, tied them up, dropped some candle fat on the silk thread
and impressed his seal upon it, remarking in a friendly way,
“ Thus we seal skins.”
Looking around Cooky remarked,
“ Don’t you need to ceil your house?” “ N o,” was the reply,
“ but we do need to house our seals.” Cooky wanted to make a
purchase for his wife, but feared to do so, lest it should prove a
skin game, and he wasn’t game enough to try it.
The next day Cooky started for the Pole with two gentle­
manly guides, Durtsum and Nowash. He gave them each thirty
pounds of gum drops, for he said he thought that would make
them stick. Also two sticks of gum, for he thought that would
make them stick, too. After feasting on Downey’s gum drops
Durtsum tried the gum, some of Beaman’s finest. But after
wrestling with it for an hour he spat it upon the ground, re­
marking to Nowash, “ Did you hear that gum drop?” “ The
latest quotations mention no drop in gum ,” replied Nowash po­
litely, and the incident was closed.
The next morning Nowash reported a dog gone— eaten by a
whale. “ Dog-gone the lu ck ,” said Cooky crisply, but a sea­
horse near by whinnied “ N eigh.” “ Our best dog, our star
dog,” moaned Durtsum. “ But you still have the dog star,”
suggested Nowash, whereupon hope revived, though Durtsum
said in a fierce tone, “ I ’d like to get a sight of that whale. Was
he a big one?” “ No,” was the reply, “ small, but with a very
dogged air.” “ Don’t air such puns on me,’ ’ groaned Durtsum,”
“ I did like that dog.” “ So did the whale,” was the peaceful
reply and another incident was closed.
A t last they reached 90° N. latitude, but found no pole.
But Cooky, a man of great resources, took from his pocket
pencil and paper and drew a long dash, calmly remarking,

18

TH E NORMAL, SCHOOL, HERALD

“ That is my dash for the Pole.” The next day they whittled a
pole out of ice and placed it at the end of the dash. That night
Cooky slept with his head to the Pole in order that he might
have the world at his feet.
The next day in order to get warm they threw some iceballs at the Pole, Cooky remarking he would show them some
curves; but not being able to get anything but a straight, he
recalled the fact that at the Pole the curve is less than farther
south. He then entertained his friends with a glowing account
o f our great national game. “ Don’t suppose you have any nines
up here,” he remarked to Nowash. But the latter replied,
“ Yes, we have some good canines, and in everyone a fine south­
paw; but now they are all turned north.” “ Ever make a home
run?” asked Cooky.
“ N o,” but one summer the sun got
pretty hot and made my home run.” A t this play on words, a
very bald play, Durtsum giggled. “ What position would you
prefer, shortstop?” “ I ’d like short stop here,” was the reply.
“ Perhaps you would prefer a home run.” “ No, I ’ll be satisfied
with a home ride.” “ What base would you prefer ?” “ Base of
supplies.” “ That is all I can stand,” said Cooky, and sat down
on an ice cake.
The next day they saw a bear advancing toward them. “ I
don’t see how he can bear to walk on this ice in his bare feet,”
said No wash. “ Oh! forbear!” exclaimed Durtsum, and they
started for bear. He saw them coming and bared his breast to
the attack. Nowash made a pause at the end of the claws, but
Durtsum apparently thought a dash would be better. The bear
bore forward and offered a hug, which the men barely escaped,
and being satisfied with this, forbore to longer care for bear.
That afternoon Durtsum was throwing gum drops at the
Pole. A waggish dog caught all that came his way and when
Durtsum came to pick them up found they had all landed in
A-merry-cur. He comforted himself with the remark that he
didn’t care a continent-al where they landed— there was no con­
tinent to sea. That night at supper Nowash offered Cooky some
sugar, stating it had been tested with a pole-airiscope, which he
had obtained from a priest the summer before, who wore a
pole-air-ice-cope.
Here the narrative suddenly endeth.

M r s . Mame W e t z e l (Queen), ’96.

We copy the following from a paper sent us :
Mrs. Mame Queen, wife of J. I,. D. Queen, of Wheeling,
W . Va., died in the hospital at Relay, Va. Death was due to a
tumor on the brain. Deceased was about thirty years of age and
a former resident of Carlisle and a popular and successful school
teacher. She was a daughter of the late Joseph Wetzel.
Mrs. Queen was a member of the Lutheran Church and was
greatly esteemed and respected by all who knew her. A very
large circle of friends sincerely mourn her untimely death.
She was married about six years ago to Mr. J. L. D. Queen,
who is a well-known and successful contractor.
Those who survive are her husband and one child, two
sisters and three brothers.
The H e r a l d extends its sympathy to the friends.

Inasmuch as the fall exchanges have not yet appeared, the
new editor of this column has nothing to say in this issue, but
will appear in full form in the January number.
A s there is an item of general interest to add to the Abnormals, and as the forms are now closed for that department, we
will insert right here the fact that we had a picnic on Saturday,
September 25, 1909, A . D.
The students, about a hundred and twenty-five strong (and
weak), started in the morning, and by means of train and trolley
arrived atM t. Holly Park in time to take a walk before dinner.
The latter was served in various forms, styles, places, and to
varying degrees, but everyone had something. In the afternoon
dancing, boating, strolling, etc., were indulged in according to
the various tastes. We believe some also fished, and a few at­
tended the big football games in Carlisle. Left the park at 7.30
and arrived home before 9 o ’clock tired, but happy. The out­
ing was a decided success and sets a precedent which we hope
will be followed by our children and grandchildren in the years
to come.

Ubc Oift of forgetting.
A few years ago— the fad has now run its course— various
“ professors” went touring the country, teaching people how to
remember. But the true benefactors are those who can teach us
how to forget.
To forget our sorrows, letting them slip away from us as
snows in the spring slide down from the mountain side, leaving it
free for new garlands of flowers.
To forget old wrongs. The men who wronged us have
done their worst. It is over. But every time we recall an in­
jury and, recalling feel embittered, we wrong ourselves quite as
truly. We do well, then, at once to shake ourselves free from
all thronging memories of injuries done us. For they strangle
our souls.
To forget old humiliations. These are the hardest of all to
forget. These are the memories that cling to us most burr-like.
Let us brush them away.
T o forget old regrets. Many a man squanders in vainly re­
gretting, the energy that, otherwise directed, might carry him
forward in long, swinging strides to glorious new fortunes.
Press onward. Have done with ghost dances.
There is no truer truth than th is: A man’s success, a man’s
strength, a man’s gladness abides not so much in the things he
remembers as in the things he forgets.— The American.

I f you are tempted to reveal
A tale someone to you has told
About another, make it pass,
Before you speak, three gates o f gold.
Three narrow gates —first, “ Is it true? ”
Then, “ Is it needful? ” In your mind
Give truthful answer; and the next
Is last and narrowest, “ Is it kind? ”
And if to reach your lips at last
It passes through these gateways three,
Then you may tell the tale, nor fear
What the result of speech may be.
