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. Anypersons
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.

Mbs a Tteacber Sboulb iftnow Mis Bible.
The teacher, to whom is given the all-important task of lead
ing the undeveloped minds of childhood and youth into fields of
knowledge wholly unexplored by them, of leading them out and
assisting them to accept the truth and reject the error, of so train
ing them that they may become independent thinkers and searchers
after truth, and of posing before them as an example of manly
character such that he need fear no evil consequences to his pupils
by the emulation of his character, needs the very best equipment
possible. The best equipment consists not in an abnormal devel
opment of any one or two sides of his nature at the expense of
another. Indeed, the only true ideal equipment consists in the
full and harmonious development of the physical, the mental, and
the moral nature.
There is a tendency in these hustling times to bend all our
energies toward the attainment of the mental, to the exclusion of
both the physical and moral; not too much upon the mental, but
too little upon the physical, and especially upon the moral nature.
Our system of morals is based upon the Bible ; and if for no
other reason than for his own moral development, the teacher can
ill afford to neglect it ; but there are other and weighty reasons
why the teacher should become familiar with his Bible.
I.
Because of its literary excellence. Among the literary
men of the world to-day and in the past, the Bible has been re
garded as the gem of literature. Multitudes have quoted from its
pages; many have had themes suggested from it for master
pieces, and others have taken their plots and themes directly from
its characters. Men like Matthew Arnold, Dana, Heine, Goethe,
Shakespeare and Milton have quoted from its pages more fre
quently than from any other book. Shakespeare, who stands
head and shoulders above his fellows in English letters, whom not
to have read is an evidence of limited knowledge, and without
2
THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
whom the ordinary high school pupil’s course is not regarded as
complete, has five hundred and fifty references and quotations
from the Bible. He quotes from fifty-four of the sixty-six books
of the Bible, and not one of his thirty-seven plays is without some
reference to it. Michelet, the French author, remarked: “ As
far as I can recollect, the name of God does not occur in Shakes
peare, or if it does, it is rarely or by chance, and unaccompanied
by the shadow of a religious sentiment. ” M. Michelet’s recollec
tion seems to have been exceedingly bad; for William Burgess,
the recent author of ‘ ‘ The Bible in Shakespeare, ’ ’ informs us that
the name of God appears in the various dramas of the great poet
nearly seven hundred times. Thus it is clearly seen that if we
take out of Shakespeare’s works the direct references and quota
tions from the Bible, we rob them of very much important mate
rial ; and if we take from them also the sentiments and principles
which are taken from the Bible’s teachings, we leave nothing worth
reading at all, at least as far as reading for personal improvement
is concerned.
Below are a few references chosen at random, which will show
the closeness with which Shakespeare followed the Bible in his
quotations from it and references to i t :

Milton’s great poems, Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained,
THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

may not be easily comprehended without a knowledge of the source
from which they are taken. Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress also
takes its theme from the Bible.
Even skeptics like Becky, Renan, J. S. Mill'and Strauss,
though they reject the prevalent notions of inspiration, yet ac
knowledge the literary excellence of the Bible.
I f we look at the Bible from either the standpoint of history
or of poetry we shall not be disappointed, but shall find it a veri
table gold mine of information and enjoyment.
It contains the only true history of creation ; for it is the only
hypothesis of creation that is compatible with the later develop
ments of history.
It contains the history of wars, the dealings of nation with
nation, tribe with tribe, and through these we may trace the de
velopment of institutions. The wars of Israel against the inhab
itants of their promised land are especially interesting and in
structive to the student of history.
Adventure makes up no small part of history: This phase of
history comes in for its due share of consideration in the Bible.
For instance, the adventures of Jacob, Samson, Daniel, and
Nehemiah,Tead almost like fiction.
The history of a nation or a people is really but the com
bined biographies of its leaders. As the history of France for 20
years during the revolution was the biography of its one great
leader, Napoleon, so the history of Israel was the biographies of
its noble men, as Abraham, Moses, David and others.
Natural history is not neglected either. Clean and unclean
beasts, insects, fowls, fishes, and creeping things are described
with an axactness that is surprising to us at the present day.
Read Leviticus the eleventh chapter. Neither does it stop here,
but inasmuch as physical man is a part of the order of nature,
much valuable information is given him to aid him to live and
maintain his race in happiness and in health. In the 12th chap
ter of Leviticus it discusses the laws of purification for women
after childbirth, and in the 18th chapter unlawful marriages and
lusts.
History makes up no small part of the Bible record. The
whole of the twelve books following the Pentateuch and the first
five books of the New Testament are wholly historic. In a Bible
4
THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
of twelve hundred pages the historic matter of these seventeen
books covers almost five hundred pages. A teacher can ill afford
therefore to neglect a book which treats so extensively of the
very foundations of all subsequent history of civilization.
Then if we look at the Bible from the standpoint of poetry
we do not find it deficient here. For beginning with Job, which
is one of the greatest dramas, if not the greatest, ever written,
there are five books devoted entirely to poetry covering about one
hundred and fifty pages of an ordinary teacher’s Bible, besides
passage after passage of these poems, especially of the Psalms,
quoted in the New Testament, enriching its historic and epistolary
pages.
Where, in all the literature of the world, do we find such
flights of the imagination as in the Psalms ? Or such wise say
ings as in the Proverbs of Solomon? Or such sermons as in
Ecclesiastes ? Or such songs or ballads of love as are recorded of
the Church to Christ in Solomon’s Songs ?
II.
A second reason why a teacher should become familiar
with his Bible is to be found in the fact that a multitude of our
everyday references are to the Bible and to Biblical characters.
In Mathew 16: 3, Jesus used the expression “ Signs of the
times’ ’ in rebuking the Pharisees and Saddnicees. In Job’s com
plaint of the cruelty of his friends, he uses the expression: ‘ T
am escaped with the skin of my teeth,” Job 19: 20.
“ A bird told me” is a common expression, and is used in
order to hide the true source of information in a revealed secret.
The origin of the expression is found in Ecclesiastes 10: 20.
“ Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the
rich in thy bedchamber; for a bird of the air shall carry the
voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter. ’ ’
We use the expression “ as wise as Solomon” because
Solomon was the young king of Israel, who, when told that he
might have whatever he desired, asked that he might be given
wisdom to rule his people justly. It was granted, and he poses
before us to-day as the wise man of the world.
,
“ As old as Methuselah” is a proverbial saying, because an
antediluvian of the name of Methuselah was permitted to live to a
greater age (969 years) than any other man either before or since.
“ A Jeh u” means a fast driver, because Jehu, one of the
THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
S
Kings of Israel, was sucti a furious driver that he was recognized
at a great distance, at least on one'occasion, by his driving.
Many Biblical characters are the subjects of daily discussion
or reference, such as Moses, the great leader and legislator;
Joshua, the great warrior; Joseph, who, in his youth, was sub
jected to severe trials and great temptations, yet preserved his in
tegrity and received his reward; David, the warrior king ; Daniel,
the brave captive in a foreign court; Judas, the grasping betrayer
of his Master ; Pilate, the cynical judge in the trial of Jesus ;
Stephen, the first Christian martyr ; Paul, the fearless advocate
of the cross among the Gentiles ; and a multitude of others with
whom a teacher should be familiar in order to give them their
proper places in the development of civilization.
III.
The last but not the least reason why a teacher should
know his Bible is, that it is the Word of God.
We dare not overlook the fact of the existence of a first great
cause of all being. This first cause, or creator, is so vitally con
nected with his creation, that to dispense with the creator is to
leave creation without any support, and to attribute many of the
actions of his creatures to blind force.
Lest man should make the fatal mistake of failing to give
Him his proper place in the universe, and fail to render due honor
to Him, God conceived the idea of giving to man a manifestation
of His will in a form that he could not easily mistake or change.
So He gave us the Bible, which is His Word.
The question of inspiration naturally arises for discussion in
proof of the statement, that the Bible is the Word of God || but
within the limits of this article it is not possible to enter into an
extended discussion of the question. So let it suffice to say, that
the internal evidence of the Book itself is ample proof of its in
spiration. “ Holy men spake as they were moved by the Holy
Ghost. ’f§ Here the Holy Ghost moved and men spake ; the two
uniting to perfect the Scripture “ given by inspiration of G od.”
David declares : “ The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me, and his
words were in my tongue.’* Paul refers to some utterances as
his own, though conveying authorized truth : “ My speech and
my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but
in demonstration of the Spirit and of power. ” ‘-‘ If you inquire,
says Professor Fitch, ‘ ‘ in what sense the Bible is breathed forth
6
the; n o r m a l sch o o l h e r a l d
from God, the true answer is: The whole book was prepared by
his direction in subservience to a scheme of redemption through
Christ, which had been planned in his eternal wisdom by men to
whom he gave direct revelation, or imparted necessary wisdom
and knowledge to guide them in their writings ; and that, conse
quently, the whole book has endorsed upon it his name and
authority. While all other books are the books of men, this is
the Book of God. While all others are liable to err respecting
truth and duty, this is infallible.”
The Bible being the only book thus inspired, its influence on
man is different from that of any other book. Even if we did not
know of its effect on the minds, and consequently on the lives of
men, this influence is just what we should expect to emanate from
a book inspired of God. With this expectation so marvelously
satisfied in numberless examples on every hand, we have a very
strong argument in favor of its divine origin.
Most books will bear but one reading; a few may be read
twice ; a very few are worthy of careful study ; but the Bible
never wears out. The more we read it the more we want to read it.
The Bible is worthy of careful consideration, because in it
may be found the way, and the only way, of salvation from sin.
The teacher must take into consideration the fact that human
souls are intrusted to his care. It matters not to what extent
law interdicts the Bible in our public schools, the teacher, who
allows pupils to go from under his care without having at least
made an attempt to influence their lives with the traits of a
Christian character, has not been a teacher in the truest sense of
the word.

]£tutorial.
Headed by Henry Watterson, certain Metropolitan dailies and
magazines, a telling reaction has taken place against the extrava
gant and disgraceful functions which have occurred lately among
a certain class of the rich. It is sad to think that in “ the land of
the free and the home of the brave ” an aristocracy of money
should have gained such a prominence in affairs, and it is sadder
yet to know that many lives endowed with brilliant, God-given
powers are being dwarfed and debauched by devotion to the silly
demands of “ society ” in its meanest and narrowest sense.
But against all hinted at herein, the fact that many people
are living well-ordered lives is interesting and encouraging to note.
Despite the existing facts and happenings in certain quarters,
many persons are ordering their daily living in a manner that
makes for simplicity. Thousands all over the United States are
living simpler in eating, dress and thinking than they were fifteen
years ago. Most o f the men who are carrying on the develop
ments, discoveries and inventions in medicine, mental science,
wireless telegraphy and electricity are living simple lives— models
o f how great minds shun complex living. Then, too, according
to the experience of the best men and the teachings of the greatest
Book, which man is happier, the one who is simple in his manner,
eating, dress and housings, or the one who is complex ?

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
The Winter Term of the Cumberland Valley State Normal
School has opened with more than the usual number of new
students. The number of classes has been correspondingly in
creased, and an additional teacher employed. The outlook fpr
the Spring Term is very encouraging. Already a great many
students have made arrangements to enter at the opening of this
term. Students desiring a choice of rooms will do well to make
application at an early date. A ll the rooms are pleasant and well
furnished, but in every boarding school there is a choice of loca
tion in rooms. The readers of the H e r a l d will confer a favor
upon the Principal by sending him the names and addresses of
persons who are thinking of attending a Normal School the com
ing Spring Term.
The number of students comprising the classes in the Cum
berland Valley State Normal School is kept within reasonable
limits. Whenever in class instruction we lose sight of the indi
vidual the instruction is no longer effective in promoting
a healthy growth in the mind of the student. The best teachers
fail when their classes become too large for individual instruction.
No amount of skill on the part of the instructor can compensate
for the lack of individual teaching which is inevitable when the
classes are over-crowded. In public schools the truth is fre
quently lost sight of that any school becomes a poor school when
ever the number of pupils is more than a single teacher is capable
of taking charge of.
The influence of Normal Schools was never stronger than wefind it to-day. Many young persons in the earlier days, looking
forward to teaching as a life work, hesitated between the Academyand the Normal School as a place for preparation. To-day no
such hesitancy is experienced. The value of Normal School
education for the teacher is so fully proven by the almost univer
sal success of the teaching of Normal School graduates, that there
can no longer be any doubt about the wisdom of young personswho expect to teach receiving a Normal School training. The
present popularity of the Pennsylvania State Normal Schools islargely responsible for the increased attendance we find in them
this year.

The greatest weakness of the public schools to-day lies in the
effort to accomplish too much for the pupil in the time devoted
to his instruction. This crowding of the public school curricu
lum leads to superficial work. In the modern school the pupil
knows about more things than did the pupil of a generation ago,
but he knows less of their relations. Much of the teaching in the
public schools of to-day is memory work, little effort being made
to develop in the pupil the power of independent thought. What
we need is a smaller circle of knowledge and a fuller comprehen
sion of that which lies within the circle. “ To know a few things
well is better than to know many things imperfectly.’ ’
If the schools are to realize their aim in making character
the primary object of their instruction, then character in the
teacher must be recognized as his chief qualification. In schools
devoted to the training of teachers great care must be taken in
securing wholesome discipline for the students. The atmosphere
of these schools must be conducive to the moral growth and de
velopment of those who come under its influence. No amount
of knowledge will supply the want of force of character in the
teacher. To come in contact daily with a teacher of high char
acter is a blessing to students which cannot well be over
estimated.
good teacher will seek to cultivate a fondness for
Nature. Nature is the great text book for all children. The
natural world around us must be studied, not so much for the
material value of the knowledge which comes from such study,
but rather because of the pleasure which a familiarity with
Nature brings to the life of the individual. God has filled the
land with beauty. To discern this beauty and to learn to love it
is an education which is priceless in its value. The reflex influ
ence of this beauty upon the soul of the child is noble and refin
ing in its power. To learn to love the beautiful in nature is to
enter upon the highway to the enjoyment of that which is best
and purest in knowledge.
E very
We must not forget the value of pictures in education. Art
is a universal language telling the same story to all people of all
10
THE NORMAH SCHOOL HERALD
lands and times. Art needs no interpreter for the mind imbued
with a love of it. Pictures speak to the heart as well as to the
understanding. Ofttimes to understand a picture we must know
the history of its conception by the artist. Teachers owe it to the
children whom they instruct to familiarize themselves as far as
possible with the best art. Pictures never wholly reveal their
meaning to the casual observer. The man who takes a hasty
glance at a masterpiece of art will find but little recompense for
his hurried look. To understand a picture it must be studied.
The true meaning of a great picture is not found on the face
of its lines or coloring, but in the profound spiritual truth
which these lines and colors so delicately suggest. To under
stand and appreciate art is an essential qualification in the
teacher.
a*
The true teacher holds his commission from the highest
power in the universe. To hold a commission from such a source
is an honor which transcends the glory of a commission from the
greatest king or potentate of the world. The teacher who feels
that God has called him to his place occupies a position of
highest dignity and worth. The man who is called to his station
in life by the Sovereign Ruler of the universe never fails. Such
a man is moved and sustained by a power which cannot be over
come by the most adverse conditions. When the teacher enters
the school room he should feel that he is assuming authority and
responsibility placed upon him by the Great Creator of all
things, and that he is directly responsible to him for the charac-i!
ter of his service.

■fflormal Society.
We are glad to say that the membership of our society is in
creasing. Although we found it to be in the minority last year,
the number that we have taken in during the fall term, and since
the opening of the winter term, brings it back to its accustomed
place. The interest that has been shown by the persons who
have been on the programme has increased, and the attendance is
much better than formerly. The room is filled nearly every
evening. We have been honored lately by visits from old mem
bers who have given us some good suggestions for improve
ment. We are always glad to welcome old members.
pbilo Society.
The Philomathean Titerary Society is one of the two progres
sive societies of the Cumberland Valley State Normal School.
Owing to the majority of the class of 1903 being “ Philos” the
membership is not so large this year, but the interest has not
been lost. ' Most of the members are zealous workers and many
of them are endowed with good musical talent and excellent
speaking qualities. Those who entered the society last fall as
active workers already show a marked improvement in appearing
before the public. The society in every respect is upholding its
high standard of excellence.

“ The Christian teacher of a band of children,” says Dr. H ol
land; “ combines the office of preacher and parent and has more
to to do in shaping the mind and morals of the community than
preacher and parent combined.” Accepting this as true the Y .
M. C. A . of C. V . S. N. S. has been endeavoring to bring all the
young men to a personal acquaintance with Christ; also to form
the habit of daily Bible study. Marked success has crowned its
efforts. With but a few exceptions the young men in the building
have become Christians.
A little more than a year ago two Bible Study classes of
twenty-five members were organized. The work proved to be
pleasant and helpful as was shown by the fact that this fall two
classes in Bible study were started with an attendance of thirty-

six members. One class, conducted by Prof. Heiges, is studying
“ The Life and Work of Jesus according to St. Mark;” the other
class, conducted by Prof. McCrone, has taken up “ Johnson’s
Studies for Personal Workers. ” The classes convene every Sun
day morning. The attendance is good and great interest is being
manifested in the work.
The programme was arranged by the Devotional Committee
for the Week of Prayer, beginning November 9th. The different
members of the faculty made addresses during the week. A ll the
talks given were on such passages of scripture as to impress upon
the minds of the young men the importance of an upright Chris

held in the various churches of the town. Sixty-seven delegates
were present. Many of these were representatives from the dif

portance to Y . M. C. A . work were discussed. The meetings
throughout were well attended, interesting and inspiring.
The College Men’s Conference was held in the C. V . N. S.

Missionary Work, were freely discussed. Many good sugges

with the importance of a daily study of the Bible. Among the

The earnest work of the active members of the Association
is telling. Perhaps it is not so noticeable here at school, but we
hope and pray that each member may be so influenced that on
leaving this institution she may have strengthened her character
so as to be a blessing wherever she is called.
Our Associate List is becoming smaller, and it is our earnest
prayer that we may soon have all the names on the Active List
as true Christian girls.
A great interest is shown in our Sunday afternoon Bible Class,
both in attendance and prayerful attention. We have taken up
The Life of Christ ’ ’ for our study this term. In the near future
we expect to take up some Mission Study.
Our “ Good-Night Services,” held every eveningat 9.50 bell,
except Wednesday and Sunday evenings, are found to be helpful,
and a very beautiful way to close our evening study.
W e are happy to say that all the new boarding students this
term are Christian girls, and thus add numbers to our Active List.

pat’s plea.
The victory is not necessarily to the wordy. Some three
years ago there was a strike of ore-handlers in one of the lake
towns, and two gentlemen, one of whom was Mr. R. C. Hanna,
brother of Senator Planna, undertook to persuade the men to re
turn to work. They got on very well— chiefly by compromise—
with all except the engineers, says the New York Evening Post.
Finally a merchant of the town was mutually agreed upon as
arbitrator, and it was arranged that both sides should argue before
him the question of an increase in wages. Mr. Hanna represented
the employers, while an engineer, Pat Ryan, spoke for his fellows.
Mr. Hanna made a long, elaborate argument, covering all the
points he expected his opponent to raise. When he finished Pat
got up.
“ Misther R e f’ree,” said he, “ th’ byes wants th ’ raise!”
Then he sat down.
A few hours later Mr. Hanna was telling of this, and had
just expressed himself as certain that the decision would be in the
employers’ favor, when the telephone bell rang. The referee was
at the other end. He informed the employers that he had reached
a decision in favor of the men’s demand for more wages.

Basfeet Ball.
Basket ball is the game at Normal during the winter months.
The sport is thoroughly enjoyed by both girls and boys. En
thusiasm runs high whenever a game is played. Among the girls
the seniors and middlers each have a team, and a good, healthy
rivalry exists between them. A number of exciting games took
place during the fall.
The boys’ team is made up of the same boys who played on
the team last year. The team has been practicing faithfully and
has already played four games. Great things are expected of it,
and we have every reason to think that our expectations will be
realized.
The first game was played in our own gymnasium Friday
evening, November 27th, against the Preparatory School of Get
tysburg College. The game was hotly contested, but our team
easily were the winners by the score of 24-6. Gettysburg had
several good individual players but did poor team work. Our
team worked well together for the first game of the season. The
time of the halves was 20 and 15 minutes. The line-up:

- The trip to Millersville Normal, December 5th, was a very
pleasant one. Those who are connected with the Millersville
Athletic Association treated our boys with the greatest kindness.
We have nothing but words of praise in return for their gentle
manly conduct, and that too, in the face of the fact that theirs was
the losing side.
In the first half our team did not allow them to score from
the field— two points, however, were thrown from fouls. During
the second half Millersville took a brace, and scored six points.
They played an excellent defensive game, but not so good an
offensive one as our team. Both teams are to be commended upon
their fair and sportsmanlike playing. Shippensburg played a
slightly better game all around, and were handicapped by throwing at baskets fastened to the sides of the gymnasium instead of

The Sophomores of Dickinson came to Normal on January
9th. They had several good individual players, but their team
work was very much below par. The Normal team passed the
ball with skill and success. In a word, the College boys saw they
were outclassed, and during the last half of the game played
against time. The score, which was 19—3, does not show the
greater superiority of the Normal team in every feature of the
game. The line-up :

For the first time in the history of the institutions Millersville
Normal and Shippensburg Normal entered an athletic contest at
Shippensburg, January 16th. We sincerely hope that this will
not only be the beginning of friendly athletic relations, but also
in educational lines.
The game from the very start was a hard, fast, hotly-contested
one. In almost every feature.of the game both teams were evenly
matched. Shippensburg had slight advantages in passing the
ball successfully, and throwing from fouls. The score resulted
in favor of Shippensburg Normal 17-12. The line-up :

“ dA Ptoad Man Sharpened, to a 'Point.”
This is the definition of an educated
man as given by a well-known American
educator.
It gives expression to a prom-
inent Ursinus ideal.
Your college course
should be liberalizing, and at the same time
it should fit you in a special way for some
particular line of life-work.
You want to be a cultivated
man or woman, but you want to be something more— a
teacher, a physician, a minister, a lawyer, an editor, or a
scientist.
If you are interested m this theme, procure a

of Courses.
This system has been in vogue at Ursinus for
more than ten years.

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. Anypersons
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.

Mbs a Tteacber Sboulb iftnow Mis Bible.
The teacher, to whom is given the all-important task of lead
ing the undeveloped minds of childhood and youth into fields of
knowledge wholly unexplored by them, of leading them out and
assisting them to accept the truth and reject the error, of so train
ing them that they may become independent thinkers and searchers
after truth, and of posing before them as an example of manly
character such that he need fear no evil consequences to his pupils
by the emulation of his character, needs the very best equipment
possible. The best equipment consists not in an abnormal devel
opment of any one or two sides of his nature at the expense of
another. Indeed, the only true ideal equipment consists in the
full and harmonious development of the physical, the mental, and
the moral nature.
There is a tendency in these hustling times to bend all our
energies toward the attainment of the mental, to the exclusion of
both the physical and moral; not too much upon the mental, but
too little upon the physical, and especially upon the moral nature.
Our system of morals is based upon the Bible ; and if for no
other reason than for his own moral development, the teacher can
ill afford to neglect it ; but there are other and weighty reasons
why the teacher should become familiar with his Bible.
I.
Because of its literary excellence. Among the literary
men of the world to-day and in the past, the Bible has been re
garded as the gem of literature. Multitudes have quoted from its
pages; many have had themes suggested from it for master
pieces, and others have taken their plots and themes directly from
its characters. Men like Matthew Arnold, Dana, Heine, Goethe,
Shakespeare and Milton have quoted from its pages more fre
quently than from any other book. Shakespeare, who stands
head and shoulders above his fellows in English letters, whom not
to have read is an evidence of limited knowledge, and without
2
THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
whom the ordinary high school pupil’s course is not regarded as
complete, has five hundred and fifty references and quotations
from the Bible. He quotes from fifty-four of the sixty-six books
of the Bible, and not one of his thirty-seven plays is without some
reference to it. Michelet, the French author, remarked: “ As
far as I can recollect, the name of God does not occur in Shakes
peare, or if it does, it is rarely or by chance, and unaccompanied
by the shadow of a religious sentiment. ” M. Michelet’s recollec
tion seems to have been exceedingly bad; for William Burgess,
the recent author of ‘ ‘ The Bible in Shakespeare, ’ ’ informs us that
the name of God appears in the various dramas of the great poet
nearly seven hundred times. Thus it is clearly seen that if we
take out of Shakespeare’s works the direct references and quota
tions from the Bible, we rob them of very much important mate
rial ; and if we take from them also the sentiments and principles
which are taken from the Bible’s teachings, we leave nothing worth
reading at all, at least as far as reading for personal improvement
is concerned.
Below are a few references chosen at random, which will show
the closeness with which Shakespeare followed the Bible in his
quotations from it and references to i t :

Milton’s great poems, Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained,
THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

may not be easily comprehended without a knowledge of the source
from which they are taken. Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress also
takes its theme from the Bible.
Even skeptics like Becky, Renan, J. S. Mill'and Strauss,
though they reject the prevalent notions of inspiration, yet ac
knowledge the literary excellence of the Bible.
I f we look at the Bible from either the standpoint of history
or of poetry we shall not be disappointed, but shall find it a veri
table gold mine of information and enjoyment.
It contains the only true history of creation ; for it is the only
hypothesis of creation that is compatible with the later develop
ments of history.
It contains the history of wars, the dealings of nation with
nation, tribe with tribe, and through these we may trace the de
velopment of institutions. The wars of Israel against the inhab
itants of their promised land are especially interesting and in
structive to the student of history.
Adventure makes up no small part of history: This phase of
history comes in for its due share of consideration in the Bible.
For instance, the adventures of Jacob, Samson, Daniel, and
Nehemiah,Tead almost like fiction.
The history of a nation or a people is really but the com
bined biographies of its leaders. As the history of France for 20
years during the revolution was the biography of its one great
leader, Napoleon, so the history of Israel was the biographies of
its noble men, as Abraham, Moses, David and others.
Natural history is not neglected either. Clean and unclean
beasts, insects, fowls, fishes, and creeping things are described
with an axactness that is surprising to us at the present day.
Read Leviticus the eleventh chapter. Neither does it stop here,
but inasmuch as physical man is a part of the order of nature,
much valuable information is given him to aid him to live and
maintain his race in happiness and in health. In the 12th chap
ter of Leviticus it discusses the laws of purification for women
after childbirth, and in the 18th chapter unlawful marriages and
lusts.
History makes up no small part of the Bible record. The
whole of the twelve books following the Pentateuch and the first
five books of the New Testament are wholly historic. In a Bible
4
THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
of twelve hundred pages the historic matter of these seventeen
books covers almost five hundred pages. A teacher can ill afford
therefore to neglect a book which treats so extensively of the
very foundations of all subsequent history of civilization.
Then if we look at the Bible from the standpoint of poetry
we do not find it deficient here. For beginning with Job, which
is one of the greatest dramas, if not the greatest, ever written,
there are five books devoted entirely to poetry covering about one
hundred and fifty pages of an ordinary teacher’s Bible, besides
passage after passage of these poems, especially of the Psalms,
quoted in the New Testament, enriching its historic and epistolary
pages.
Where, in all the literature of the world, do we find such
flights of the imagination as in the Psalms ? Or such wise say
ings as in the Proverbs of Solomon? Or such sermons as in
Ecclesiastes ? Or such songs or ballads of love as are recorded of
the Church to Christ in Solomon’s Songs ?
II.
A second reason why a teacher should become familiar
with his Bible is to be found in the fact that a multitude of our
everyday references are to the Bible and to Biblical characters.
In Mathew 16: 3, Jesus used the expression “ Signs of the
times’ ’ in rebuking the Pharisees and Saddnicees. In Job’s com
plaint of the cruelty of his friends, he uses the expression: ‘ T
am escaped with the skin of my teeth,” Job 19: 20.
“ A bird told me” is a common expression, and is used in
order to hide the true source of information in a revealed secret.
The origin of the expression is found in Ecclesiastes 10: 20.
“ Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the
rich in thy bedchamber; for a bird of the air shall carry the
voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter. ’ ’
We use the expression “ as wise as Solomon” because
Solomon was the young king of Israel, who, when told that he
might have whatever he desired, asked that he might be given
wisdom to rule his people justly. It was granted, and he poses
before us to-day as the wise man of the world.
,
“ As old as Methuselah” is a proverbial saying, because an
antediluvian of the name of Methuselah was permitted to live to a
greater age (969 years) than any other man either before or since.
“ A Jeh u” means a fast driver, because Jehu, one of the
THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
S
Kings of Israel, was sucti a furious driver that he was recognized
at a great distance, at least on one'occasion, by his driving.
Many Biblical characters are the subjects of daily discussion
or reference, such as Moses, the great leader and legislator;
Joshua, the great warrior; Joseph, who, in his youth, was sub
jected to severe trials and great temptations, yet preserved his in
tegrity and received his reward; David, the warrior king ; Daniel,
the brave captive in a foreign court; Judas, the grasping betrayer
of his Master ; Pilate, the cynical judge in the trial of Jesus ;
Stephen, the first Christian martyr ; Paul, the fearless advocate
of the cross among the Gentiles ; and a multitude of others with
whom a teacher should be familiar in order to give them their
proper places in the development of civilization.
III.
The last but not the least reason why a teacher should
know his Bible is, that it is the Word of God.
We dare not overlook the fact of the existence of a first great
cause of all being. This first cause, or creator, is so vitally con
nected with his creation, that to dispense with the creator is to
leave creation without any support, and to attribute many of the
actions of his creatures to blind force.
Lest man should make the fatal mistake of failing to give
Him his proper place in the universe, and fail to render due honor
to Him, God conceived the idea of giving to man a manifestation
of His will in a form that he could not easily mistake or change.
So He gave us the Bible, which is His Word.
The question of inspiration naturally arises for discussion in
proof of the statement, that the Bible is the Word of God || but
within the limits of this article it is not possible to enter into an
extended discussion of the question. So let it suffice to say, that
the internal evidence of the Book itself is ample proof of its in
spiration. “ Holy men spake as they were moved by the Holy
Ghost. ’f§ Here the Holy Ghost moved and men spake ; the two
uniting to perfect the Scripture “ given by inspiration of G od.”
David declares : “ The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me, and his
words were in my tongue.’* Paul refers to some utterances as
his own, though conveying authorized truth : “ My speech and
my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but
in demonstration of the Spirit and of power. ” ‘-‘ If you inquire,
says Professor Fitch, ‘ ‘ in what sense the Bible is breathed forth
6
the; n o r m a l sch o o l h e r a l d
from God, the true answer is: The whole book was prepared by
his direction in subservience to a scheme of redemption through
Christ, which had been planned in his eternal wisdom by men to
whom he gave direct revelation, or imparted necessary wisdom
and knowledge to guide them in their writings ; and that, conse
quently, the whole book has endorsed upon it his name and
authority. While all other books are the books of men, this is
the Book of God. While all others are liable to err respecting
truth and duty, this is infallible.”
The Bible being the only book thus inspired, its influence on
man is different from that of any other book. Even if we did not
know of its effect on the minds, and consequently on the lives of
men, this influence is just what we should expect to emanate from
a book inspired of God. With this expectation so marvelously
satisfied in numberless examples on every hand, we have a very
strong argument in favor of its divine origin.
Most books will bear but one reading; a few may be read
twice ; a very few are worthy of careful study ; but the Bible
never wears out. The more we read it the more we want to read it.
The Bible is worthy of careful consideration, because in it
may be found the way, and the only way, of salvation from sin.
The teacher must take into consideration the fact that human
souls are intrusted to his care. It matters not to what extent
law interdicts the Bible in our public schools, the teacher, who
allows pupils to go from under his care without having at least
made an attempt to influence their lives with the traits of a
Christian character, has not been a teacher in the truest sense of
the word.

]£tutorial.
Headed by Henry Watterson, certain Metropolitan dailies and
magazines, a telling reaction has taken place against the extrava
gant and disgraceful functions which have occurred lately among
a certain class of the rich. It is sad to think that in “ the land of
the free and the home of the brave ” an aristocracy of money
should have gained such a prominence in affairs, and it is sadder
yet to know that many lives endowed with brilliant, God-given
powers are being dwarfed and debauched by devotion to the silly
demands of “ society ” in its meanest and narrowest sense.
But against all hinted at herein, the fact that many people
are living well-ordered lives is interesting and encouraging to note.
Despite the existing facts and happenings in certain quarters,
many persons are ordering their daily living in a manner that
makes for simplicity. Thousands all over the United States are
living simpler in eating, dress and thinking than they were fifteen
years ago. Most o f the men who are carrying on the develop
ments, discoveries and inventions in medicine, mental science,
wireless telegraphy and electricity are living simple lives— models
o f how great minds shun complex living. Then, too, according
to the experience of the best men and the teachings of the greatest
Book, which man is happier, the one who is simple in his manner,
eating, dress and housings, or the one who is complex ?

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
The Winter Term of the Cumberland Valley State Normal
School has opened with more than the usual number of new
students. The number of classes has been correspondingly in
creased, and an additional teacher employed. The outlook fpr
the Spring Term is very encouraging. Already a great many
students have made arrangements to enter at the opening of this
term. Students desiring a choice of rooms will do well to make
application at an early date. A ll the rooms are pleasant and well
furnished, but in every boarding school there is a choice of loca
tion in rooms. The readers of the H e r a l d will confer a favor
upon the Principal by sending him the names and addresses of
persons who are thinking of attending a Normal School the com
ing Spring Term.
The number of students comprising the classes in the Cum
berland Valley State Normal School is kept within reasonable
limits. Whenever in class instruction we lose sight of the indi
vidual the instruction is no longer effective in promoting
a healthy growth in the mind of the student. The best teachers
fail when their classes become too large for individual instruction.
No amount of skill on the part of the instructor can compensate
for the lack of individual teaching which is inevitable when the
classes are over-crowded. In public schools the truth is fre
quently lost sight of that any school becomes a poor school when
ever the number of pupils is more than a single teacher is capable
of taking charge of.
The influence of Normal Schools was never stronger than wefind it to-day. Many young persons in the earlier days, looking
forward to teaching as a life work, hesitated between the Academyand the Normal School as a place for preparation. To-day no
such hesitancy is experienced. The value of Normal School
education for the teacher is so fully proven by the almost univer
sal success of the teaching of Normal School graduates, that there
can no longer be any doubt about the wisdom of young personswho expect to teach receiving a Normal School training. The
present popularity of the Pennsylvania State Normal Schools islargely responsible for the increased attendance we find in them
this year.

The greatest weakness of the public schools to-day lies in the
effort to accomplish too much for the pupil in the time devoted
to his instruction. This crowding of the public school curricu
lum leads to superficial work. In the modern school the pupil
knows about more things than did the pupil of a generation ago,
but he knows less of their relations. Much of the teaching in the
public schools of to-day is memory work, little effort being made
to develop in the pupil the power of independent thought. What
we need is a smaller circle of knowledge and a fuller comprehen
sion of that which lies within the circle. “ To know a few things
well is better than to know many things imperfectly.’ ’
If the schools are to realize their aim in making character
the primary object of their instruction, then character in the
teacher must be recognized as his chief qualification. In schools
devoted to the training of teachers great care must be taken in
securing wholesome discipline for the students. The atmosphere
of these schools must be conducive to the moral growth and de
velopment of those who come under its influence. No amount
of knowledge will supply the want of force of character in the
teacher. To come in contact daily with a teacher of high char
acter is a blessing to students which cannot well be over
estimated.
good teacher will seek to cultivate a fondness for
Nature. Nature is the great text book for all children. The
natural world around us must be studied, not so much for the
material value of the knowledge which comes from such study,
but rather because of the pleasure which a familiarity with
Nature brings to the life of the individual. God has filled the
land with beauty. To discern this beauty and to learn to love it
is an education which is priceless in its value. The reflex influ
ence of this beauty upon the soul of the child is noble and refin
ing in its power. To learn to love the beautiful in nature is to
enter upon the highway to the enjoyment of that which is best
and purest in knowledge.
E very
We must not forget the value of pictures in education. Art
is a universal language telling the same story to all people of all
10
THE NORMAH SCHOOL HERALD
lands and times. Art needs no interpreter for the mind imbued
with a love of it. Pictures speak to the heart as well as to the
understanding. Ofttimes to understand a picture we must know
the history of its conception by the artist. Teachers owe it to the
children whom they instruct to familiarize themselves as far as
possible with the best art. Pictures never wholly reveal their
meaning to the casual observer. The man who takes a hasty
glance at a masterpiece of art will find but little recompense for
his hurried look. To understand a picture it must be studied.
The true meaning of a great picture is not found on the face
of its lines or coloring, but in the profound spiritual truth
which these lines and colors so delicately suggest. To under
stand and appreciate art is an essential qualification in the
teacher.
a*
The true teacher holds his commission from the highest
power in the universe. To hold a commission from such a source
is an honor which transcends the glory of a commission from the
greatest king or potentate of the world. The teacher who feels
that God has called him to his place occupies a position of
highest dignity and worth. The man who is called to his station
in life by the Sovereign Ruler of the universe never fails. Such
a man is moved and sustained by a power which cannot be over
come by the most adverse conditions. When the teacher enters
the school room he should feel that he is assuming authority and
responsibility placed upon him by the Great Creator of all
things, and that he is directly responsible to him for the charac-i!
ter of his service.

was located at Brooklyn, N .Y ., when stricken with pneumonia.
In August he was married to Miss Grace M. Wolfe, ’96, of Ship

to rest, but a relapse set in and his weakened body was unable to
throw off the disease. The H e r a l d unites its sincere sorrow

“ You seem poorly prepared to answer even the simplest
question, sir,” said the professor, sternly. “ Perhaps you cannot
even tell me who wrote Csesar’s ‘Commentaries.’ ”
“ No, sir, I can’t ,” said the student, miserably. “ I know the
name of the man just as well as I do my own, but it’s gone com
pletely out of my mind for the time being.” — E x.

■fflormal Society.
We are glad to say that the membership of our society is in
creasing. Although we found it to be in the minority last year,
the number that we have taken in during the fall term, and since
the opening of the winter term, brings it back to its accustomed
place. The interest that has been shown by the persons who
have been on the programme has increased, and the attendance is
much better than formerly. The room is filled nearly every
evening. We have been honored lately by visits from old mem
bers who have given us some good suggestions for improve
ment. We are always glad to welcome old members.
pbilo Society.
The Philomathean Titerary Society is one of the two progres
sive societies of the Cumberland Valley State Normal School.
Owing to the majority of the class of 1903 being “ Philos” the
membership is not so large this year, but the interest has not
been lost. ' Most of the members are zealous workers and many
of them are endowed with good musical talent and excellent
speaking qualities. Those who entered the society last fall as
active workers already show a marked improvement in appearing
before the public. The society in every respect is upholding its
high standard of excellence.

“ The Christian teacher of a band of children,” says Dr. H ol
land; “ combines the office of preacher and parent and has more
to to do in shaping the mind and morals of the community than
preacher and parent combined.” Accepting this as true the Y .
M. C. A . of C. V . S. N. S. has been endeavoring to bring all the
young men to a personal acquaintance with Christ; also to form
the habit of daily Bible study. Marked success has crowned its
efforts. With but a few exceptions the young men in the building
have become Christians.
A little more than a year ago two Bible Study classes of
twenty-five members were organized. The work proved to be
pleasant and helpful as was shown by the fact that this fall two
classes in Bible study were started with an attendance of thirty-

six members. One class, conducted by Prof. Heiges, is studying
“ The Life and Work of Jesus according to St. Mark;” the other
class, conducted by Prof. McCrone, has taken up “ Johnson’s
Studies for Personal Workers. ” The classes convene every Sun
day morning. The attendance is good and great interest is being
manifested in the work.
The programme was arranged by the Devotional Committee
for the Week of Prayer, beginning November 9th. The different
members of the faculty made addresses during the week. A ll the
talks given were on such passages of scripture as to impress upon
the minds of the young men the importance of an upright Chris
tian life.

The Annual Convention of the Young Men s Christian A s

ber 20, 21, 22. Hon. Jamés L- Young, ’87, C. V . S. N. S., Mechanicsburg, P a l was the presiding officer. The meetings were
held in the various churches of the town. Sixty-seven delegates
were present. Many of these were representatives from the dif
ferent educational institutions in this district. Subjects of im
portance to Y . M. C. A . work were discussed. The meetings
throughout were well attended, interesting and inspiring.
The College Men’s Conference was held in the C. V . N. S.
Chapel on Saturday afternoon. The subjects '-Bible Study and
Missionary Work, were freely discussed. Many good sugges
tions were offered and all in attendance were deeply impressed
with the importance of a daily study of the Bible. Among the
speakers present at the convention were Rev. J. W .Meminger;
Mr. S. M. Bard, State Secretary Y . M. C. A ., Harrisburg; Mr.

The earnest work of the active members of the Association
is telling. Perhaps it is not so noticeable here at school, but we
hope and pray that each member may be so influenced that on
leaving this institution she may have strengthened her character
so as to be a blessing wherever she is called.
Our Associate List is becoming smaller, and it is our earnest
prayer that we may soon have all the names on the Active List
as true Christian girls.
A great interest is shown in our Sunday afternoon Bible Class,
both in attendance and prayerful attention. We have taken up
The Life of Christ ’ ’ for our study this term. In the near future
we expect to take up some Mission Study.
Our “ Good-Night Services,” held every eveningat 9.50 bell,
except Wednesday and Sunday evenings, are found to be helpful,
and a very beautiful way to close our evening study.
W e are happy to say that all the new boarding students this
term are Christian girls, and thus add numbers to our Active List.

Prof. Chas. Edgar Reber, the recent addition to the Faculty
of C. V . S. N. S., comes to us from Palmer University, Indiana,
and is well equipped for Normal work. Prof. R'eber’s specialties
are Pedagogy and English. He received his A . B. degree from
Ursinus College, his A . B. in English from Harvard, and upon
the completion of his thesis he will receive the degree of Ph. D.
from the University of Pennsylvania. He is a strong man, and
will remain with us until the end of the year.

pat’s plea.
The victory is not necessarily to the wordy. Some three
years ago there was a strike of ore-handlers in one of the lake
towns, and two gentlemen, one of whom was Mr. R. C. Hanna,
brother of Senator Planna, undertook to persuade the men to re
turn to work. They got on very well— chiefly by compromise—
with all except the engineers, says the New York Evening Post.
Finally a merchant of the town was mutually agreed upon as
arbitrator, and it was arranged that both sides should argue before
him the question of an increase in wages. Mr. Hanna represented
the employers, while an engineer, Pat Ryan, spoke for his fellows.
Mr. Hanna made a long, elaborate argument, covering all the
points he expected his opponent to raise. When he finished Pat
got up.
“ Misther R e f’ree,” said he, “ th’ byes wants th ’ raise!”
Then he sat down.
A few hours later Mr. Hanna was telling of this, and had
just expressed himself as certain that the decision would be in the
employers’ favor, when the telephone bell rang. The referee was
at the other end. He informed the employers that he had reached
a decision in favor of the men’s demand for more wages.

Basfeet Ball.
Basket ball is the game at Normal during the winter months.
The sport is thoroughly enjoyed by both girls and boys. En
thusiasm runs high whenever a game is played. Among the girls
the seniors and middlers each have a team, and a good, healthy
rivalry exists between them. A number of exciting games took
place during the fall.
The boys’ team is made up of the same boys who played on
the team last year. The team has been practicing faithfully and
has already played four games. Great things are expected of it,
and we have every reason to think that our expectations will be
realized.
The first game was played in our own gymnasium Friday
evening, November 27th, against the Preparatory School of Get
tysburg College. The game was hotly contested, but our team
easily were the winners by the score of 24-6. Gettysburg had
several good individual players but did poor team work. Our
team worked well together for the first game of the season. The
time of the halves was 20 and 15 minutes. The line-up:

- The trip to Millersville Normal, December 5th, was a very
pleasant one. Those who are connected with the Millersville
Athletic Association treated our boys with the greatest kindness.
We have nothing but words of praise in return for their gentle
manly conduct, and that too, in the face of the fact that theirs was
the losing side.
In the first half our team did not allow them to score from
the field— two points, however, were thrown from fouls. During
the second half Millersville took a brace, and scored six points.
They played an excellent defensive game, but not so good an
offensive one as our team. Both teams are to be commended upon
their fair and sportsmanlike playing. Shippensburg played a
slightly better game all around, and were handicapped by throwing at baskets fastened to the sides of the gymnasium instead of

The Sophomores of Dickinson came to Normal on January
9th. They had several good individual players, but their team
work was very much below par. The Normal team passed the
ball with skill and success. In a word, the College boys saw they
were outclassed, and during the last half of the game played
against time. The score, which was 19—3, does not show the
greater superiority of the Normal team in every feature of the
game. The line-up :

For the first time in the history of the institutions Millersville
Normal and Shippensburg Normal entered an athletic contest at
Shippensburg, January 16th. We sincerely hope that this will
not only be the beginning of friendly athletic relations, but also
in educational lines.
The game from the very start was a hard, fast, hotly-contested
one. In almost every feature.of the game both teams were evenly
matched. Shippensburg had slight advantages in passing the
ball successfully, and throwing from fouls. The score resulted
in favor of Shippensburg Normal 17-12. The line-up :

This is the definition of an educated
man as given by a well-known American
educator.
It gives expression to a prom-

Your college course
should be liberalizing, and at the same time
it should fit you in a special way for some
particular line of life-work.
You want to be a cultivated
man or woman, but you want to be something more— a
teacher, a physician, a minister, a lawyer, an editor, or a
