Shippensburg State
Normal School
The Shippensburg State Normal School is recog­
nized by superintendents and directors as one of the
leading schools in the country for the education of
teachers. The esteem in which the school is held by
those who are in a position to know of its merits is
the highest possible testimonial that could be offered
in its favor.
Free tuition and the low rates charged for board­
ing make the expenses of a Normal School Course
very low. Young persons looking forward to teach­
ing as a profession cannot afford to miss the opportu­
nities offered them by the Shippensburg State Nor­
mal School, to qualify themselves for effective ser­
vice as teachers.
The Shippensburg Normal School moves for­
ward with the times and those who receive their edu­
cation in it are certain to be up-to-date in their know­
ledge and methods. Students who are ambitious to
come in contact with the latest approved ideas and
methods in teaching will find their desires fully met
by the opportunities offered by the Shippensburg
State Normal School.
The Winter Term' opened January 4 and the
Spring Term will open April 11 , 1904 . A n y persons
thinking of taking a Normal Course should write im­
mediately to Dr. G. M. D. Eckels, Shippensburg, Pa.,
for a catalogue and other information of the school.

“ In respect of education, as of everything else,.’«says
Compayre, “ the higher spiritual life of modern nations has been
developed under the influence of Grecian antiquity.”
Although the Greeks were far behind us in mechanical arts
and inventions, yet we may look with profit at the educational
ideals of the greatest speculative thinkers the world has ever pro­
duced. The Greeks were the first to reduce education to a
science; the law-givers, like Lycurgus, put their educational sys­
tems into actual practice, while the philosophers, like Socrates,
Plato, and Aristotle, evolved theoretical systems best suited to
solve the problems of civilization, as they understood these
problems. There was a conflict then, as now, between theo­
retical and practical educators; but then, too, as now, this con­
flict produced widely useful results in educational practice.
Greek pedagogy was deeply rooted in Greek soil, in Greek
institutions, and in the mental habit of the people. Institutions
stand only so long as a people remains true to the ideals and
traditions upon which these institutions were founded. A recog­
nition of this principle, at least in part, greatly hampered the
free development of the educational ideals of the practical re­
formers, and conditioned those of the theorists. Lycurgus, for
example, well knew that a dead-level uniformity of the people
was necessary, if his socialistic laws were to be successful; the
theorists, like Plato and Aristotle, recognized full well that their
systems were suited only to a city State like Sparta or Athens,
whose citizens lived within the walled city, or near it. This idea
of the limited size of the Greek State was so firmly rooted in the
Greek mind, that the strictness on the increase of population,
even in such an advanced thinker as Aristotle, seem barbarous
to a Christian civilization.

THE} NORMAL, SCHOOL, HEJRALD

In a short paper like this it is not possible, or even desirable,
to use many direct quotations, but I acknowledge my indebted­
ness to many sources for the ideas here expressed, but more
especially to Mahaffy’s “ Greek Education,’ ’ and Thomas David­
son’s “ Aristotle?’ in “ The Great Educators” series, edited by
Nicholas Murray Butler.
There were two typical methods, two schools of Greek
education, the Athenian and the Spartan, the difference being
one of ideals. • Sparta educated for war, Athens for peace; it was
strength versus wisdom.
In Sparta, the State was supreme; to strengthen the State
was the object sought; to this end the individual was wholly sub­
servient, the mere insignificant unit of a State which could make
warriors but not statesmen. Education consisted mainly of gym­
nastics and music; it was harsh, rigid, even cruel; there was
choral singing of the laws arranged metrically, self-denial of the
appetites, exposure to hardships, and gymnastics for the purpose
of developing strong bodies, without thought of grace. There
was scarcely anything intellectual. A ll the finer feelings, ;%he
poetry of life,” were despised. This vigorous education ex­
tended as far as could be to both sexes; brute strength and not
intellectual attainments were desired. The Spartan system pro­
duced strong warriors and patriotic citizens, but it produced no
men. “ It was greatly admired,’ ’ says Davidson, “ by men like
Xenophon and Plato, who were sick of Athenian democracy;
but Aristotle estimated it at its true worth.” He says: “ As
long as the Laconians were the only peoples who devoted them­
selves to violent exercises, they were superior to all others; but
now they are inferior even in gymnastic contests and in war.
Their former superiority, indeed, was not due to their training
their young men in this way, but to the fact that they alone
did so.”
The Athenian education, while not neglecting the body, was
directed mainly to the mind. The individual’s duty to the State
was emphasized, but only that he might better enjoy prosperity,
and the fruits of an honorable peace. Athens could fight bravely
as shown at Marathon, Salamis, and Plataese, but it was not her
sole aim and desire.
The object of physical training was not simply to develop

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

3

brute force, but to secure health, grace, and strength. The aim
was to secure a due proportion of parts, a harmonious develop­
ment of mind and body.
The Athenians came very near to the true ideal of education,
for their system in the early part of the fifth century, B. C., pro­
duced wise, brave and good men; and this is the end that educa­
tors must seek in every age; it is the problem of civilization that
will be ever present with us,— “ sense at war with soul” as Tenny­
son puts it, with soul or spirit or the Christian virtues triumphant,
if the highest ideal is to be attained.
We may now briefly consider the Schools of Athens, as em­
bodying the highest and best in old Greek education. To again
quote Davidson, “ I f the Spartan, like the artificially trained
barbarian, submitted to living by rule and command, the Athen­
ian, like the naturally civilized man, delighted to live in a free
and natural way, governed from within, and not from without.
To make possible such life was the aim of Athenian education,
which, instead of seeking to merge the man in the State, or to
rend the two asunder, treated them as necessary correlates and
strove to balance their claims.” Athens was careful to educate
her citizens thoroughly in the spirit of her institutions, and sub­
jected all her male citizens to a systematic preparation for civil
and military functions, before permitting them to exercise these.
In this Athens anticipated the highest ideals of the best modern
theorists, however much they may differ as to the methods of
securing these ends in the modern state.
Of course it must be remembered that the one great defect in
all Greek education was that it was based on aristocratic princi­
ples, was confined to the few, and even the ideal systems of Plato
and Aristotle excluded the majority; this was the natural out­
growth of Greek institutions, all of which were founded on a
government not “ of the people, for the people and by the people,”
but a government by the best, by those who had leisure for Greek
culture, and consequently the few.
There were four divisions of Athenian education, correspond­
ing to the four institutions : (i) the family; (2) the school; (3)
the gymnasium or college ; (4) the State.
1.
The child up to his seventh year was a member of the
family, and grew up very much as children do in all ages, play­
ing games, and listening to the stories of Greek mythology.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

2. About the age of seven the boy started to school, and
was trained in gymnastics and music, the latter including the
three R ’s. “ Later on,’ ’ says Mahaffy, “ under the learned influ­
ence of Alexandria, children began to be pestered, as they now
are, with a quantity of subjects, all thought necessary to a proper
education, and, accordingly, all imperfectly acquired.” But
with this perversion of ancient ideals we are not here dealing,
and as to the analogous modern tendency, Herbert Spencer fully
points out its follies.
3. Some time between the-age of fourteen and sixteen, the
Athenian boy was withdrawn from the family side of his educa­
tion, and placed in the state gymnasium or college, where he was
fitted for the duties of citizenship. It is known that only the
wealthier classes were able to send their sons to the gymnasium,
and as a consequence, they alone were fitted, according to the
Greek ideal, to be public servants, and become, in the fullest
sense, the ruling class.
4. Athens was great as a state and a school, so long as she
embodied the Greek ideal of harmony; so long as the power was
in the hands of the best; in a word, so long as she was aristo­
cratic. When she abandoned the ideals and principles upon
which her institutions were founded, Athens perished. It is true
that the democracy produced men like Plato and Aristotle, but
they retained, in a large measure, the spirit and ideals of the old
aristocracy.
I shall not discuss the “ New Greek Education,” the intro­
duction of individualism, the tendency to over-refinement of the
Sophists, the philosophic theorists like Xenophon, Plato, and
Aristotle. But there.is one instance of a great teacher among the
Greeks, which is a continuous source of cheer to the discouraged
modern educators.
* If any enthusiastic believer in the power of education de­
sire to fortify his cause by means of a brilliant example, he will
find none superior to Epaminondas; for there can hardly be any
question that it was the earnest, systematic, religious, and moral
Pythagorian training which he received from the aged Lysis,
whom he treated as a father, that made him what he was, and
enabled him to do what he did,— which was nothing less than to
place Thebes at the head of Greece. Thebes rose and fell wit]h

Epaminondas, but that was not all. It was the example of
Epaminondas that kindled the ambition of Philip of Macedon,
who was educated under his eye, and of his far more famous son,
Alexander, who made all Greece a province of his empire.

S Student’s iRoom.
[Uncorrected theme in middle year.]

The room of a student is of necessity based on somewhat
economic principles, yet so great is the ingenuity of the average
school girl, that a glimpse into one of these rooms discloses a
view at once distracting and bewildering. Here, indeed, every
nook and crevice is utilized, and camera, kodak, paint-brush and
needle have all conspired to transform the place to a veritable
curiosity shop. No room is complete without its “ cosey-corner,”
and this is perhaps the most characteristic spot of the room,
where rugs, pillows, a couch, etc., give the spot that quality of
domestic tranquility implied in its name. Pennants, glaring
combinations of orange and black, green and red, etc., posters of
every description, Gibsons, fairly cover the walls, and it is no­
ticeable that the more vivid their colors, the more conspicuous
their position, and anything bordering on the Japanese or Bohe­
mian order, meets at once with popular favor. Plainly it is not
the artistic effect that is striven for; rather the incongruous and
striking. Here distributed at various places over the room, one
sees the personal belongings of the girl, an array of skates, books,
her guitar, her tennis racquet, her camera, her chafing dish, her
work basket, all revealing hpr interests, her tastes. But naturally
the central figure of the picture is the study table where imposing
rows of books lend dignity to the scene, and give a true index to
the character of the room. Evidently the modern scholar believes
that environment has much to do with successful study.

Editorials.
Character is daily life in toto. One’s character is best known
to himself, and the nobility and integrity thereof are the chief
ends of education. This last statement is the burden of the
present song of educators and teachers throughout the whole
length and breadth of the United States. Every educational
paper and journal dwells upon this theme more or less in every
issue. The statement of this principle is well known to every
teacher who makes any pretension at the profession. Yet how
many of us go on in the same old way of pouring in the in­
gredients of facts and grinding out the sausages of glib learning,
and never have the ghost of a thought of the bed-rock of charac­
ter or the immortal destiny of our students.
Such advice, however, cannot be fully carried out by some
teachers who conscientiously feel like following such a course,
because of their environment— a certain standard must be
reached; examinations must be passed; reports to superintend­
ents must show progress in studies; the rules of curriculum and
deportment must be rigidly enforced, and all this contrary to the
fact that individual personalities must be trained and not classes.
But on the other hand, there are numbers of teachers who have
the powers of kings in their particular realms and too often

THE NORMAL» SCHOOL HERALD

exercise that power as such. In these instances great good can
be accomplished largely by example. Character is not teachable
like Arithmetic, nor is it poured in by long-faced religious in­
struction and moral lectures, but its ingrown root is fostered by
absorption. Men of noble character often trace their beginnings
to the lives of noble teachers. Do not the children in my school
have the possibilities of noble men and women ?
j*
The ignoring of the text-book has come to be a greater
abuse than the former evil of too great dependence upon it. The
method of conducting recitations without the teacher’s having a
text-book in his hand is responsible for much of the lack of in­
terest on the part of pupils in the preparation of the lesson, and also
for much of the lack of definiteness in statement which character­
izes too many of our modern recitations. The teacher who fails
to use the text-book effectively in recitation is very apt to depart
from the content and the order of the text-book used, and unless
pupils have the opportunity to recite lessons in accordance with
the content and order of the text-book used they will soon lose
interest in the close preparation of the lesson. Teachers need to be
trained to use the text-book skillfully, and text-books for use in
the schools should be selected with great care.
The specialization of subjects has led to an imposing of a
vast amount of subject matter upon the students of the elementary
and secondary schools. The mind of the student is capable of
assimilating a certain amount of new knowledge in a definite
period and when more than this amount is impressed upon it the
result is an overloading of the pupil’s' powers. The methods of
the university are often impracticable in elementary and
secondary instruction and it may be a question whether or not
college instruction has been improved by the University method.
The overcrowding of the curriculum in all grades of schools is
due to some extent to specialization. No fault can be found
with specialization, but the specialist’s methods are not adapted
to instruction in the public schools. The multiplication of de­
tails in every department of knowledge has increased the con­
tent of the text-books for elementary and secondary instruction

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

until pupils are no longer able to assimilate all the knowledge
offered them.
The preacher-teacher is a very poor kind of teacher and the
teacher-preacher is not the best style of preacher. The profes­
sion of teaching and preaching have much in common but their
methods of imparting knowledge are necessarily very different.
The teacher aims primarily at the development of mind. And
the method must be determined by the laws of mind growth.
The preacher aims to impart truth for truth’s sake and his
method must be determined by the principles underlying the
logical presentation of knowledge. The teacher who spends the
recitation period in talking his subject to his classes will soon
find his pupils growing lean on the mental fare given them. The
main test of a teacher’s method is to be found in his ability to
question his pupils logically and clearly, and in the training he
gives them in proper methods of study.
jt
If virtue is the basis of good citizenship and the business of
the school is to make good citizens, then the atmosphere of the
public school must be morally wholesome. The teacher himself
must be virtuous and the work of the school must be honestly
performed. Dishonest work in the school is subversive of good
government. While a good school is a great support to good
government a poorly governed school is a menace to our liberty
and to our opportunities as a nation. It is high time for the
schools to awaken to a sense of their responsibility for the con­
tinuance of our freedom. A teacher’s method of control is the
highest test of his efficiency as a teacher. Good order and good
study are only possible in a school that is well governed, and the
effect of good government in school is most clearly seen in the
preparation of the youth of the land for virtuous citizenship.
Skill in governing is the first test of a teacher’s fitness to teach.
The student’s record in deportment is his most valuable as­
set when he leaves school. The deportment of the student is
looked upon by the practical world as the evidence of his charac­
ter. Poor deportment marks stand for poor character. Deport-

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

9

ment marks are not used primarily for the purpose of control.
Their chief value lies in the fact that they are the index to the
student’s character. The deportment marks show the depend­
ence that can be placed on the student’s character as the marks
in the subjects show the dependence that can be placed on the
student’s scholarship. These marks being life records are of
vital importance to the student. I f they are satisfactory they
may assist him very greatly in obtaining important positions. If
they are unsatisfactory they stand in the way of future advance­
ment. Of the two kinds of marks the deportment marks are even
more important than the marks in scholarship.
The end to be attained in education is perfect manhood. The
ideal of the educated man is the perfect man, physically, intel­
lectually and morally. The teacher is responsible for the end in
education, and to some extent for the means, but never for the
material upon which he works. He is simply responsible for
making the best out of the material given. The natural powers
of the pupil are beyond the ability of the teacher to create. He
must be content with such ability as his pupils have been invested
with by nature. It is useless for the teacher to make complaint
of the kind of talent given him to improve. The thing for him
to do is to make the best of it. The poorer the material the
more skill will be necessary on the part of the teacher. The fact
that a pupil is dull is no reason why the teacher should neglect
him. The pupils needing the teacher most should obtain most
of the help he renders.
The foundation of the teacher’s control in the school is the
confidence of the pupils in his ability and justice. Both of these
qualifications must be manifest in the teacher if he is to be suc­
cessful in school government. The teacher’s ability manifests
itself in his power to express knowledge and in his skill to apply
it. An individual may have his mind filled with the richest
knowledge but he will scarcely be given credit for it unless he
have the power to convey it in clear and forcible English, and to
apply it in a way that will convince the pupil of its practical
value. The teacher’s dealings with his pupils must convince

10

THE} NORMA!, SCHOO!, HEiRALD

them that he is endeavoring to be just with them. That justice
to be appreciated must be tempered with mercy. Justice without
mercy is impossible. The prophet admonishes us “ to do justly
and to love mercy.’ ’

The vacancy in the department of Physical Culture has been
filled by the election of Miss Eouisa K . Ruggles, of Wakefield,
Mass. Miss Ruggles is a graduate of the Posse School of Gym­
nastics, Boston. Her record as a student in this institution was
very satisfactory and her experience as a teacher has been en­
couraging. Miss Ruggles came well recommended as a lady and
a gymnast. The department was in excellent shape when Miss
Jones left it and it is to be hoped that Miss Ruggles will main­
tain the high standard of work obtained by her predecessor.
The vacancy in the Model School has been filled by the
election of Miss Am y C. Crewe, of Sparrows Point, Md. Miss
Crewe is a graduate in the classical course of the Geneseo Normal
School in New York State. Her record in that institution was

THE NORMAL, SCHOOL, HERALD

11

very good and she has been very successful as a teacher since
graduating. Miss Crewe will begin her work with the opening
of the Spring term. As Miss Crewe is a graduate of the same
school as Miss Wells, her predecessor, the work in the Model
School will be carried on without any change in the methods or
policy of the school.
Three additional teachers have been appointed for the Spring
T erm : Mr. J. O. Gray, of Marysville, Pa.; Mr. C. H. Gordinier,
of Troy, Pa.; and Miss Hattie A . Wylie, of Middle Spring, Pa.
Mr. Gray is a graduate of the Cumberland Valley State Nor­
mal School, class of ’91. Most of his teaching has been in the
public schools of Marysville, Pa., where he has been principal of
schools.
Mr. C. H. Gordinier is a graduate of Valparaiso College in
the Classical Course, and in the Course of Pedagogy in Alabama
College. He has had fifteen years’ experience as a teacher. His
most recent position has been the principalship of the High
School at Greenville, Pa.
Miss W ylie is a graduate of the Cumberland Valley State
Normal School, class of ’93, and of the Classical Course of W il­
son College. She has had four years’ experience as a teacher in
public school work and one year in academic work.

A small audience was pleasingly entertained in the Normal
Chapel last term by Miss Margaret Barry. Miss Barry read from
H ugo’s “ Ees Miserables.” She had been to a number of places
in the valley before coming to Normal and was very highly
recommended. The excellent rendition of this noble story fully
came up to all reports. Miss Barry held every mind entranced
in every scene. Bourke Cochran says she is a great artiste, and
she surely merits the title. She now has charge of the Depart­
ment of Elocution at Kee Mar College.
The Wesleyan Male Quartette and Miss Juanita Boynton
gave a concert at Normal in February. The Wesleyans have an
excellent reputation, and they sustained it at this time.

The unique Sam Jones, of Georgia, lectured in town in
March. Some of the students accepted the opportunity of hear­
ing him.
The father of Miss Josephine Duke, assistant in the Music
Department, died last term. The H erald extends its sincere
sympathy.
The music department of the Shippensburg Normal School
has reached the highest point in its history. The enrollment of
students in this department exceeds any previous enrollment in
the history of the institution. This growth shows the growing
interest of the patrons of the school in music and is at the same
time a convincing proof of the excellent work being done in
the department. This department is well equipped with new and
good pianos and is up-to-date in ideals and methods. It is a
genuine pleasure to observe that thorough work in any depart­
ment is the surest road to increased patronage.
The students and teachers of the Normal School learn with
regret that Rev. M. E. Swartz, who has been pastor of the Metho­
dist church, of Shippensburg, for the past six years, has been as­
signed by the recent Conference to another charge. Mr. Swartz
goes to Patton, Cambria county, Pa. We congratulate the peo­
ple of Patton on their good fortune in securing Mr. Swartz as
pastor of one of their churches. Mr. Swartz was very success­
ful in his work in Shippensburg. During his pastorate the
church building in which he preached was destroyed by fire, A
new and beautiful church has been erected in the place of the
one destroyed. This new church is a monument to Mr. Swartz’s
energy and wisdom as pastor. His greatest work, however, has
been accomplished through his pulpit and his pastoral visits
among his people.
The State Board examination for the Shippensburg State
Normal School will begin June 20. The persons constituting the

Mifflin Co., Pa. The Senior class numbers about sixty, the Middler class numbers about eighty-five and the Junior class will
number at least one hundred and thirty. In addition to this there
will be a sub-Junior class of from seventy-five to one hundred.
The prospects for a large enrollment of students the coming
spring term are very bright. The ladies’ dormitory for the first
time, will be filled to overflowing. A ll the rooms have already
been engaged. When this building was erected the trustees
thought that many years would elapse before it would be filled
with students. It is less than five years since it was opened for
students, and the indications are that it will not hold all the
ladies who will have applied for rooms when the spring term be­
gins. This condition of affairs is very encouraging to the man­
agement of the school. The attendance of gentlemen bids fair to
almost equal the attendance of ladies.
The Reformed Church of Shippensburg, Pa.>has been fortu­
nate in securing as pastor Rev. John O. Reagle, of Philadelphia.
Mr. Reagle is a graduate of Ursinus College and of the Reformed
Theological Seminary, of Philadelphia. His college and semi­
nary life marked him as a young man of fine promise and his
work in the ministry thus far has justified the expectations of his
educational career. Mr. Reagle is exceedingly popular with his
people and he is regarded by all who have heard him as a most
excellent preacher. We welcome him to the halls of our Normal
School and wish him the very highest success in his new field of
labor.
Dr. J. F. Barton, of the faculty, gave an interesting series of
experiments before the Senior class Friday evening, March 25.
The experiments consumed almost two hours of time and were
very much enjoyed by those who had the privilege of witnessing
them. The chapel was darkened for the occasion and the ex­
periments were in every instance perfectly successful. Most of
the experiments were in electricity and many of them were
beautiful as well as interesting. The Doctor has secured a speci­
men of radium and its history and application to certain diseases
were intelligently given to those present.

was a masterful presentation of the prohibition cause as related
to Christian citizenship. Mr. Wooley was greeted with a fine
audience composed of many of the best citizens of Shippensburg
and a large body of students from the Normal School. He will
be recalled as the candidate for President on the prohibition
ticket eight years ago. He is now editor of “ The Voice,’ ’ a
paper devoted to the prohibition movement in the United
States. His tongue is as ready as his pen and it is within the
bounds of truth to say that the cause of prohibition has no abler
advocate in this country than Mr. Wooley.
The equipment of the drawing room has had a handsome
addition made to it in the collection of “ still life,” purchased
recently form Milton Bradley & Co. This collection consists of
over forty pieces of fine design, handsomely painted. In this
collection the firm of Milton Bradley & Co. has displayed fine
taste and it has placed the art departments of our educational in­
stitutions under great obligations to it. With this collection the
drawing room of the Shippensburg Normal School can make
claim to having as fine an equipment as any other State Normal
School in Pennsylvania. A fine exhibit from this department
has been sent to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St.
Louis, Mo.
A young son has come to the home of Prof. Ezra Lehman,
former teacher of English at Normal. The H e r a l d tenders its
congratulations to Prof. Lehman.
Dr. Barton will spend his vacation in working up his in­
tended tours to Washington and St. Louis. The alumni and
friends of the school are urged to accept the invitation to accom­
pany the Doctor on these trips. Both will be conducted by com­
petent guides, and at the minimum cost. The Washington tour
will be on May 5 ; the St. Louis tour on July 5.

Basftet Ball.
Normal, 29; Dickinson Juniors, 13.
On January 23, the Dickinson Juniors with a strong team
played at Normal. Two weeks before the Sophomores were de­
feated, and the Juniors endeavored to retrieve it. They played a
hard game but the Normal team won out by a large margin.
Mercersbtirg, 44igNormal, 8.
The Normal team traveled to Mereersburg January 30, with
the expectation of having a hard, but not a one-sided game. Our
team was outclassed. Mereersburg excelled in almost every
feature of the game except passing the ball. The defeat was
overwhelming because it was our first for this year. There are a
few reasons for the great difference in the score. The floor at
Mereersburg is bare earth, and rough at th at; the cage in which
the game was played was too cold for comfort, and the baskets
are placed higher than ordinary.

Normal, 26; Mereersburg, 10.
On the following Friday night Mereersburg journeyed to
Shippensburg with doubtless the same feelings that Normal had
the week before. They met the biggest surprise of the year.
The playing of every man on the Normal team was fast and
furious, especially in the second half. Mereersburg seemed dazed.
The ball was always in the hands of some Normal boy. Mercersburg threw only four goals from the field during the entire game.
The result was unexpected, but nevertheless well earned and
deserved.

The Preps with a crowd of seventy-five rooters came to

nip and tuck with the score as anybody’s. But at that time the
Normal team took a brace and finished the game far beyond their
opponents amid great enthusiasm. The line-up:

Friday afternoon, March n , the Freshmen of U. of P. came
to Normal. Bvery one expected a close, hard-fought game.
During the first half the Freshmen played a good game, throwing
goals and passing the ball in professional style. The Normal
team did not work well together, and could not throw goals al­
though dozens of trials were made. A few changes were made
in the Normal team in the second half and they seemed to put
new life into it. A t this stage of the game the Normal team
played all round the Freshmen who seemed dazed, and often
stopped the game to get wind. During this half the Normal
team scored 16 points, the Freshmen none. The line-up:

This was the last game of the season. Our team deserves
great credit for playing clean ball, and practicing regularly.
These are two of the essentials of success. The management is
to be congratulated in having gentlemen for its material. The
season was a very successful one, both financially and in the
number of games won. Out of twelve games played Normal
won nine. The last five games were played with substitutes in
the places of two or three regular players. Below is appended a

Gbe Dice of Uaftinô iFiotes.
Gbe System of instruction, Hfflbicb is '¡Universal at IBarvarö, is
JBIameò for defects in iBöucation.

We know hardly anything more irritating than to find a per­
son you are trying to make understand a simple proposition, in­
stead of attending to you, diving into his pockets to find a note­
book, says the Saturday Review. When it is finally extricated,
he has forgotten all you said, rather never heard it, and you have
to repeat the whole story. He struggles to put it down and loses
the sense doing so. No ordinary being can repress contempt for
his fellow-man when he sees this process going on. * * * *
The fact is, that by this habit of taking notes we cease to be in­
telligent beings. We abdicate from our understandings ; instead
of taking in what is said and making our own minds act upon it

the ; n o rm al , sc h o o l h e r a l d

21

so that it becomes an intelligent idea, we trust to a mechanical
trick to reproduce the words said. If we are for one moment
without the note machine, we are lost; we are helpless babies.
Every day one’s ears are offended by hearing men going about
raving at the loss of their notebook exactly as the man does when
he has lost his key. Naturally, for his written notes are as much
and as literally the key to his intelligence as his other keys to his
drawers. His understanding is fast locked. He has reduced
himself to the pitiable condition of an idiot that has no memory,
or of one who has lost it by disease. The process, of course, is
found in all stages ; some men are just beginning to impair their
memories and intelligence; others have weakened it permanently;
others have almost destroyed it. Surely a habit that leads tp
these results is as truly a vice as cigarette smoking or dram
drinking. Men become the slaves of their notebooks, as of to­
bacco and drink. And, as we especially lament cigarette smok­
ing in babies and drinking in young men, so we resent the sug­
gestion of the note-taking vice to boys and girls at school.
Every schoolmaster and school mistress that trains children to
trust to paper instead of memory for facts and ideas ought to be
publicly prosecuted as a corrupter of youth. There is plenty of
corruption besides the corruption of morals. Writing is a mere
mechanical trick and has no legitimate use but for the transmis­
sion of thoughts to those you cannot get at easily by word of
mouth. For a man to use it as an instrument for conveying his
own thoughts to himself, or those of another which he has heard
from the thinker’s lips, is to debase his natural parts. Every boy
and girl should be trained to spurn the help of notes, pen and
paper, as a device merely allowable at times to relieve excessive
strain on the mind ; a crutch for those naturally deficient or a
stick allowable in steep or slippery places. They would despise
a school-fellow, who, sound in body, became so dependent on his
stick that he could never walk without leaning on it, instead of
treating it as a plaything, a thing, if taken at all, to swing or carry
lightly for nine-tenths of the walk. And as the arch-horror, there
should be put before their eyes the common case of a man who
confesses he cannot string together a sentence, cannot think, un­
less he has a pen in his hand and paper before him ; a melancholy
degenerate, a whole man, sound in limb and wind, who has made
himself unable to walk without a crutch.

Your college course

should be liberalizing, and at the same time
it should fit you in a special way for some

a
