No. 1.

The following- article is published by permission of the author, Mr. Georg-e Wert, State
Forester, who is also Principal of the State Forest Academy at Mt. Alto. It was first
published in the G r a n g e N e w s .

dForestrs in tbe South dDountains.
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania now owns between
forty and fifty thousand acres of mountain land in the South
Mountains, near Chambersburg, Franklin County. These lands
are under the direction of the Forestry Department of the State
and have been under forestry management for about five years.
The greater part of the South Mountain Reservation belonged
formerly to the Mont Alto Company, and to the Caledonia Min­
ing Company, about twenty thousand acres to the former and
nearly ten thousand to the latter. These two companies made
charcoal pig iron and held their mountain woodlands as a source
of their supply of charcoal. But their own lands did not furnish
enough coal. They had to buy from individual owners, or col­
liers, and consequently not only the “ company lands’ ’ but all
the neighboring lands producing wood were “ coaled over’’ time
after time. The usual rotation, or period between cuttings on a
given “ jo b ,” was about thirty years, and the “ iron masters,” in
making their calculations placed their estimates at one cord of
wood per acre for each year the trees were old. In other words,
if an acre was cut over thirty years ago, thirty cords of wood,
on the average, could be cut from that acre now.
Add to the above, the fact that about once in every five years,
and sometimes oftener, these lands were burned over, and their
present condition is accounted for. The coaling left nothing,
practically, but the stumps and roots of the former growth. Oc­
casionally a tree was allowed to stand for some unaccountable
reason. Sprout growth alone could follow to any extent and it is

In addition to the 60,000 seedlings planted near Caledonia
last spring, about eight bushels of walnuts and hickory nuts were
planted at Pondtown on the Mont Alto tract. With the excep­
tion of the trees which were bought last spring, all of the planta­
tions made up to this time are showing very good results, in most
cases as high as ninety per cent, of the seedlings surviving the
transplanting.
It is not good policy to allow a product worth something to­
day, but in a state of decay, to continue decreasing in value with­
out some effort to turn it into money as early as possible. From
the very beginning of the forestry work in Pennsylvania, it has
been held that the forest should yield as large a financial revenue
as was consistent with its continuance as a water conservator,
and other indirect economic services. Improvement work was
and is indeed necessary to bring the forest to such a condition
that it may serve any or all of its natural purposes fully. Dead
wood is better out of the woods than in, and during 1905 from
the Mont Alto tract alone about twelve hundred cords of dead
wood were sold. About two hundred cords of green wood
were cut and sold. This came from trees which were in such a
condition that they would never amount to anything else than
fire wood, and they only took up room and food which might be
used by something better. Some chestnut and locust posts, tele­
phone poles and some pulp wood were removed. From all
sources there was received from material on the Mont Alto tract,
which would constantly decrease in value if allowed to remain, a
sum equal to seven and one-half cents per acre. The revenue
will, of course, constantly increase as the work progresses and as
the forest improves.
It ought to be stated here that it is very important for the
people of the state to consider the forestry work as that of hand­
ling a profitable investment. The forests are of value to the
Commonwealth at large because of their influence on water flow,
on climate and health, as well as the source of the raw product
of many of its industries. The raw product, wood, is becoming
scarce and exceedingly high priced. Pennsylvania used to be in
the lead of wood producing states but now most o f our wood is
brought in from other states. Recently a statement was made in
a trade journal that in a certain county seat of our State a num­
ber of contracts for the building of dwelling houses had been can-

celled because the price of timber was beyond the reach of those
desiring to build. In other words the decrease in timber supply
is striking at the root of our nation, which above all others is
made up of home-building and home-loving people. But in ad­
dition to this indirect value of forests, they have a direct pecun­
iary value and when managed properly, if protected from fires
and excessive taxation, will yield a fair rate of interest on money
expended. From this standpoint, it is not difficult to conceive a
condition where to make an investment yield its highest return,
it is necessary to add to the original investment. Such is the
case with the State Forestry Reserves. Because of the indirect
value of forests alone, it is a wise policy for the State to buy
waste mountain lands and to protect them from fires and so make
them serve a valuable purpose again for the State, which they
would never do if they remained in the hands of individuals. But
is there any reason why the government should not receive a re­
turn to its treasury in addition to the other benefits if this can be
accomplished by additional expenditures for the development of
these reserves, the latter expenditure being what is necessary to
yield a return not only on itself but on all that has preceded ?
For example, five miles from a market are hundreds of cords of
wood which are better down than standing, but it costs sixty
cents to have it chopped and two dollars to have it hauled. A t
market it is worth two dollars and fifty cents. There would be
a loss of ten cents on each cord if this were removed as it should
be, or in other words it would cost ten cents for each cord remov­
ed to obtain the improvement and possibility of increased pro­
ductiveness of the forest desired for the future. If, however, in
the course of development of a road system over the reserve, a
good graded road was built to the section in question, transpor­
tation were reduced from a dollar to fifty cents, a revenue would
be returned and the improvement thrown in. This is true in re­
gard to marketing all kinds of forest produce. In addition roads
serve as fire lines and materially aid in suppressing fires, make
the reserves more accessible for those seeking rest, recreation,
natural beauty or health. The matter of roads is one. point.
There are others to be considered but are not relative to this
article.
On the Mont Alto Reserve there was established in 1903 a
Forest Academy in which young men of the State are taught not

only the theory of forestry but the practice as well. They must
work in the woods half their time and so come in contact with
all kinds of work and conditions which they are likely to meet on
a reserve of their own. They gather seeds, plant them and care
for the seedlings and plant them out. They chop wood, make
roads, fight fires, etc. Cast year seven young men were graduat­
ed as the first class and have been placed on reserves.
A Sanatorium for tubercular patients was also established on
the Mont Alto Reserve. In it patients are treated without medi­
cine. Fresh air, good food, and exercise are the prescriptions
which are carried out. Remarkable results have been attained.
This article is too short to mention much about either of these
institutions.
There are two parks on this reserve, namely, the one at Mont
Alto and the one at Caledonia. Both are greatly appreciated by
the people of Southern Pennsylvania and during summer are the
recreation grounds of thousands of our citizens.
As a summary, it may be stated that the South Mountain
Reserve is a valuable one for the Commonwealth, serving as a
reservoir for the head waters of one of the branches of the Sus­
quehanna, a recreation grounds for the southern third of the
State, a location for the restoration of many to health and con­
tinued service, a training ground for young men who will care tor
other reserves, the location of a central forest tree nursery, a
source of a rapidly growing wood supply and already a source of
financial revenue to the state.

D r . S . A . Ma r t in .

This is the age of cheap reading. The overwhelming flood
of papers, magazines and journals of all sorts gives us such an
abundance of good reading matter that the question what to read
is a question of selection only. But it is a very important
question. Time to read is too precious to be carelessly used.
Much that is good reading in itself is very bad because it takes
the time of something better. In this we have an example of the
saying ‘ ‘ The good is the great enemy of the best.” One cannot read
all that is good. ’ ’ To read even a good book when we might have
read a better one is dead loss.
The first consideration then in choice of books is to make
sure that the book we take up is absolutely the best on the sub­
ject, or of the class we wish to read.
This selection of course involves greater knowledge of books
than most of us possess, and here the advantage of having a good
librarian is seen. It is the librarian’s business to know about
books and to direct us in our choice.
There are, however, a few rules which we should follow for
our own guidance. I offer these three :
First: Read the old books rather than the new ones. The
law of the survival of the fittest has been applied to the old
and those that have survived are probably good. Then the old
books must be read before we can fully understand the new, for
the new presume a knowledge of the old; they are full of allusions
and presumptions of knowledge that are confusing if do not know
the older books.
Second: Read books rather than papers or magazines. The
current literature is very tempting, very good of its kind, and
very abundant, but it is not very substantial. It is too ephemeral
to be of much permanent value. The attractive magazines are
doing us much harm in displacing the more solid books, and
even more harm in forming the habit of reading to forget rather
than to remember.
Third: Read poetry instead of novels. The habit of reading
poetry should be cultivated. Dike the taste for good music,^t is
largely a matter of cultivation, and it becomes more and more a
source of pleasure and a means of culture.

Patriotism in tbe public Schools.
J. E . S t e w a r t .
The subj ect of patriotism is one that always needs to be
pressed and advocated and is vitally connected with our'public
school system. In order to teach patriotism our public schools
should be organized on American lines and be instinct with Amer­
ican spirit. Every nation has its peculiar ideal and peculiar
spirit. These stand out in history. The English ideal centers
about liberty. Its spirit is the spirit of brave, liberty-loving men.
Emerson says in his English Traits, “ the English have in seven
hundred years evolved the principles of Freedom. It is the land
of patriots, martyrs, sages and bards, an island famous for im­
mortal laws for the announcements of original rights which make
the stone tables of liberty."’
The French ideal is romantic and chivalrous. Its spirit con­
sequently is military. Under Napolean the Great, France eclipsed
the world in military glory.
The ideal of Germany is in some respects like that of Eng­
land. She stands for freedom but has less passion for man, a
shorter career historically as a united and constitutional govern­
ment, and so her spirit is more reactionary as illustrated in her
present course under Emperor William II.
And what is the American spirit? It never has been better
expressed than by Robert Burns, “ A man’s a man for a ’ that,”
and consequently our national ideal embraces the three points
which were emphasized in the French Revolution only to be cari­
catured and dishonored, Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. This
ideal this spirit should dominate our public schools. They
should be so directed as to realize in our nation liberty, equality
and fraternity in a pracitcal and not merely a theoretical way.
The courses of study should be arranged with a view to develop
a free rational spirit to produce a citizenship of equal rights and
privileges animated by an intense sense of brotherhood. We can
learn from England, whose universities have produced generations
of great scholars and patriots, but which are too aristocratic in
their character to suit our conditions and needs. We can learn
from France and Germany, who lead the world in classical scholar­
ship and in scientific attainment, but which lack the free, humane
spirit which characterizes our country. But we must insist that
%

the whole spirit and course of our school be modern and prac­
tical, free from class and religious distinctions, recognizing the
inherent worth of humanity and tending to general intelligence,
morality and practical efficiency. The population of our country
may be cosmopolitan but the spirit must be wholly and intensely
American. To produce this result our public schools must be a
prominent factor. Their influence up to this time has been
mighty. We doubt not it will be far mightier in the future.
Again, in order to teach patriotism our schools must lay great
emphasis on our own history. Our short but splendid history.
The leading study should be XJ. S. History. It should be ac­
counted a disgrace not to be familiar with the great facts and per-'
sonages of our national annals. It is true that we need mathe­
matics and literature and general history. Every child in our
land should be taught to read well and spell correctly, and speak
and write the English language with accuracy and ease. But
these studies are equally necessary in England. They do not per­
tain especially to these United States. Our whole fabric of in­
struction must be crowned by our own history. The children
must catch the spirit of the men who fought and died for liberty,
not so much at Marathon and Tours, at Bannockburn and Water­
loo, but above all at Saratoga and Yorktown, at Gettysburg and
Richmond. Arithmetic and Grammar, Reading and Spelling,
Eatin and Literature must be enlivened and inspired by the great
characters and the splendid deeds that made and have preserved
our beloved country.
And finally, patriotism should be stimulated and developed
by the use of every outward device that can keep our country be­
fore the minds of the pupils of our public schools. Special days
should be observed such as birthdays of Washington and Lincoln
and Memorial Day. And days commemorating great crises in
our history, such as the surrender at Yorktown and Appomattox
and the Emancipation Proclamation. National songs should be
used freely in our schools and ‘ ‘ The Star Spangled Banner, ’ ’
symbol of our countries’ pride and glory, should float in every
breeze of heaven. It is true that we must not make a fetich ot
our flag. In God we must trust; but in a sense it is true that the
flag represents God. It is a symbol of His blessing upon our
people, His chosen people of these later days; and, while not to

io

Cum berlan d V a l l e y St a t e N orm al S ch oo l.

be worshipped, it is to be held in reverence as a sign of His mercy
and as a symbol of His power. Constantine, at the Battle of Milvian Bridge, saw at noonday a cross in the heavens and upon it
this legend, “ In hoc signo vinceS,” In this sign you shall con­
quer. So we should lift up our flag in the sky and look to it in
all times of national trial and distress as a proof of God’s past
goodness and a pledge of present and future relief and prosperity.
“ F lag of the free hearts hope and home,
By angel hands to valor given,
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
And all thy hues were born in heaven.
Forever floats that standard sheet
Where breathes the foe but falls before us,
With freedom’s soil beneath our feet
And freedom’s banner streaming o’er us.”

JE&itorials,
It is with pleasure that we note large attendance at the open­
ing of the fall term. There are more boarding students enrolled
than for many years. It is certainly gratifying in view of the
fact that the standard was raised last year, and also speaks very
well for the new administration.
We trust that this will be a most pleasant and profitable year
and that in every department of our school great progress may be
made.

The bequest of Miss Anna Jeans of a large sum of money to
Swarthmore College provided that it will forever bar its students
from inter-collegiate sports is attracting much attention in the
educational world at this time.
A t first glance one would think that a large financial bequest
is worth more to any college than any collegiate athletics, for the
rank and file of our American colleges are poor and are constantly
seeking financial aid.
And yet the more we think on the subject the more we see
how serious a thing it would be to deprive the many students
who enter college from contending with the students of other
institutions in athletic sports.

12

C um berlan d V a l l e y St a t e N o rm al S ch o o l. -

Athletics rightly have a most important place in college and
university life, and we believe that the trustees of Swarthmore
would make a serious mistake, if by accepting the remarkably
generous offer of Miss Jeans, who perhaps was unduly prejudiced
against inter-collegiate athletics or else knew nothing about their
beneficial effects, they would forever place the ban on intercollegiate athletics at their thriving institution.
Whatever decision they may reach will be awaited with in­
terest and in the meantime in all the schools and colleges of our
land, those who are interested in athletics will hope that they will
not act rashly and thus strike a blow at one of the most popular
interests of school and college life.

During the past year there has been a great deal of discussion
among school men as to what should be the aim of English in
the Public and Normal Schools.
Stated in general terms we believe that the aim of English in
the Public and Normal Schools is to familiarize the pupils with
the English language and English literature.
This means more than many persons suppose. A practical
familiarity with the English language and English literature in­
cludes:
1. A correct knowledge of the English idiom. This can­
not be obtained by mere theoretic teaching, but by the use ot
good English, by a careful study of the masterpieces of our lan­
guage.
2. A full vocabulary. An increase of culture always shows
itself in a growing fullness of vocabulary. Reading gives this
fullness of vocabulary. The study of formal Grammar will not
give it. It is reading as Bacon says that makes a full man.
3. An apprehension of grammatical forms. The true
English scholar is not the one who can apply rules. the most cor­
rectly in Rhetoric, but he to whom grammatical forms are made
a part of his mind and thought by wide and loving reading of
the great English writers.
4. Ease of expression. Expression may be correct and yet
labored. To speak with felicity one must speak with ease.
This is true of conversation, also of public speaking. The best

C um berland V a l l e y S t a t e N orm al S ch oo l.

13

way to acquire this ease of expression is by wide and varied read­
ing. There is inspiration in a fine style that passes over to the
reader.
5. The power to appreciate noble thoughts and sentiments.
Perhaps the greatest good of our English literature, and this is
true of all noble literature, is that it is the treasury of grand and
uplifting thoughts and sentiments. Fine style, beautiful sentences
and images, melodious verse, faultless rhetoric and all attractive
and delightful to a sensitive and a natural or cultivated taste.
But after all the great good of literature lies in its thoughts and
sentiments, and in this respect no literature, ancient or modern,
can surpass the literature of English speaking people, the liter­
ature of Shakespeare and Milton, of Bacon and Carlyle, of Gibbon
and Macaulay.
6. Power to quote from its great thinkers and writers. A
fine writer adds to the effects of his thoughts and sentiments by
happy use of the words of writers greater and more famous than
himself. Pupils should be compelled to memorize the famous
lines of our great English poets and should be made familiar with
those prose passages which have impressed most deeply the im­
agination and memory of generations of men.

The recent act of Assembly, fixing the minimum salary of
teachers at $40 per month and giving $50 to Normal graduates
after two years of actual teaching and the same amount to
teachers holding professional certificates, cannot help but do much
to aid the cause of education in the state of Pennsylvania.
It will tend among other things to raise the standard of our
Normals. Since the state gives its teachers— and especially its
Normal graduates— higher salaries, it has a right to demand that
its teachers shall be better prepared than heretofore. The Normal
Schools are established primarily to fit young men and women for
the teaching profession and which are aided by the state for that pur­
pose, must do their work thoroughly and well. Their graduates
must be well equipped. None should receive diplomas who are
not honestly entitled to them. Higher should be their motto.
Nothing else should satisfy.

ever known to Y . M. C. A . workers at Normal.
The fellows who were to Northfield are taking special inter­

There are forty-seven enrolled in Bible study. We have
four classes, each of which is taught by one of the fellows who
was at the conference and received special instruction in their re­

W. D. Murray, and the “ Life of Paul’ ’ by Gordner Leacock.
The classes are equally divided, which makes it very pleasant and
profitable for all concerned.
The meetings have been exceptionally good, and thus far
there has been a full attendance of all students.
By the request of Rev. Regal, the Y . M. C. A . held a Northfield rally meeting in the Grace Reformed Church Sunday even­

W e expect to take up Mission study as soon as possible.
W e will study the different biographies of missionaries who have
been prominent in the missionary fields. This will give a broad
field to work on and it will bring out many important and inter­

In the first game of the season Shippensburg Normal made a
very good showing against the strong Conway Hall eleven.
Although the score was 28-0 in favor of the visitors, the coach
and others who were interested in the athletics of the school, were
well pleased with the work the boys did. Shippensburg Normal
has not had a football team for several years, so the men were
nearly all beginners. Only five of the squad had ever played be­
fore and many others had never seen a game.
This fall when the boys asked if they might have a football
team it seemed that their wishes could not be gratified. But they
showed such good spirit and earnestness that efforts were made
by the faculty and trustees to give them a start.
In the first half against Conway Hall our men were learning
the game while our opponents were running up a score of 28-0.
The second half Normal showed more experience and nerve.

They put in practice what they had learned in the first half and
kept Conway from scoring any more points. Only once was our
goal in danger during the last half.
Johnson who went into the game with a badly bruised side
played a very strenuous game. In the second half Cutshall, Craig,
Bair and Berry played a star game. For Conway O'Brien’s work
deserves mention. He figured in the forward pass that completely
surprised our boys in the first half.
The outcome was very satisfactory for Shippensburg Normal.
It was the first game played here for several years, the boys were
inexperienced and with only a week of practice and the score
made against us was made in the first half. As it was the first
game it gave a splendid opportunity to pick out the weak points
which shall be corrected at once.
