IHE CUMBERLAND VALLEY STATE N O R M AT,
:
SCHOOL by the high standard ‘of its work and the
success of its graduates has won a place second to no
other Normal School in the Cojnmonwealth. Students seek­
in g for the best advantages in Normal School instruction
will not be disappointed in selecting the Shippensburg
Normal School in which to take their Normal Course.
Every department in the Cumberland Valley State Normal
School is in charge of a teacher especially qualified for his
line of work. Students in the Preparatory and Junior classes
are not placed in the hands of inexperienced teachers but
are given the advantage of the instruction of the best
teachers in the school. The beginnings of a course are
always the most important and the student should have the
benefit of the best teaching ability in this part of his course.

The Cumberland Valley State Normal School invites
correspondence with all persons interested in Normal School
education. The three years’ course will be fully established
with the beginning of the coming year’s classes. We hope
the friends of the school will send to the Principal the
names and addresses of all persons; of their acquaintance
who expect to enter upon a Normal course at the opening of
the coming Fall Term. The Fall Term will open the first
Monday in September.

Ube lEtbics of School Sports
AM ES such as football, baseball, basketball and field sports,
are a necessary adjunct to a well governed and well
directed school. This truth is now so generally recog­
nized that it needs no proof. The school that is entirely without
such sports is out-of-date, and its annual lists of students show a
steady decrease in its enrollment. These sports furnish a health­
ful and adequate outlet for the ■ excessive animal spirits found in
every normal boy. They also serve to break in a pleasant way
the monotony of the daily round of studies and of school duties.
The increase in the number of games indulged in by our modern
students» and the intense rivalry aroused between contesting
teams in all branches of athletics has, naturally enough, resulted
in abuses, and many questions of right and wrong in school sports
are crying for our attention.
Most of these questions are the outgrowth of competitive
sports between different schools. The keen desire to .win that
seems to be characteristic of the American boy has sometimes
caused him to do things that are questionable. Since this is so,
an easy solution would seem to be reached by confining the con­
tests fo members of the same school. But this plan would, I be­
lieve, take away from our sports an element without which they
would be tame indeed— the element of school pride. If these
games were confined to members of the same school, even though
some rivalry might be stirred up between the different teams,
there would not be. sufficient incentive to make our boys strive
for perfection. While some of the objectionable elements develop­
ing out of the rivalry between schools would be removed, a care­
less style of play and a habit of regarding success and perfection
with indifference would inevitably follow. This we cannot afford
to have. Our boys must be taught to strive for accuracy and ab­
solute perfection in their sports as in their studies, so that to work

B

towards these ends may become the fixed habit of their lives.
This is difficult without the incentive furnished by inter-scho'
lastic games.
Although it seems necessary and advisable to have contests
in sports between different schools of the same class, there is no
necessity of permitting certain abuses that grow out of the sys­
tem.
The desire to win, and to win always certainly does result in
many unpardonable wrongs. Many schools and colleges are
guilty of securing players for their teams in unprincipled ways,
and not only of playing men on these teams who have no right to
play, but of playing the same men for an unreasonable length of
time. When all is said, there is but one standard for the athletic
teams of every university, college, and secondary school in the
country. Every member of every team should be a bona fide stu­
dent, one who gets no remuneration of any sort for his participa­
tion in athletics— other than the praises of his fellows and the
resultant self-complacency. Every possible, means should be
employed to prevent any one’s attending a school for the sole
purpose of engaging in sports. A ll schools should adopt rules of
the kind in force at the large universities, requiring members of
teams to carry so many recitations, or so many hours, a week.
There should also be a time limit to an athlete’s participation in
games. In the universities and colleges this has been widely
fixed at four years. In Normal and other schools of the secon­
dary class it should be three years. It is manifestly unfair for
players of greater age and experience to be matched against
young and inexperienced ones from schools with stricter eligibil­
ity rules.
Instances of flagrant violations of this code of ethics for
school sports are numerous in our own state. Certain schools
situated in towns supporting athletic associations, besides high
school and Y . M. C. A . teams, are tempted by their dreams of
championships and national reputation to make up their teams
from town players. As these men live right there, their services
are available for an almost indefinite period; One who reads the
accounts of base ball and foot ball games in the daily newspapers
will find in the line-ups of a certain school in Pennsylvania the
same names repeated year after year. This school, although in
the secondary class, defeats colleges, nbt occasionally, but fre-

quently, and has done so for some years. Such things are sus­
picious indeed and the fraud is soon found out by many. Unfor­
tunately, however, a very great number of people have not the
opportunity to learn of the deception and are duly impressed by
the remarkable record of this green team. This is the shame of
such schools, that they really do gain reputation and patronage
by such unfair methods and sometimes force other schools into
adopting the same methods.
A generally known and condoned offense of many Pennsyl­
vania schools and colleges is that of offering inducements in the
form of money, or, more often, its equivalent to the athletically
inclined to enter their portals. This offense has become so gen­
eral that but a few schools have had the courage to take a stand
for athletics of the simon-pure variety. We do not wish to draw
the line too sharp. It seems to us a perfectly legitimate thing for
school authorities to keep track of good athletes and to try by all
fair means to secure them as students. But no school should al­
low itself to be drawn into thinking that a reduction in the tuition
fee or the bill for board and washing is anything else than an of­
fer of money for the athlete’s services. Another evil of the same
sort is the playing of coaches, gymnasium instructors, and em­
ployees of the school who are hot students in any sense of the
term. Nor should the fact that any such man takes a few branches
of study in a perfunctory way be allowed to gloss over his ineli­
gibility.
There is also, despite the general acceptance of the systemf
some doubt as to the advisability of schools’ hiring professional
coaches. Of course, as perfection is the one great ideal in spprts
as in other things, this seems to be the short cut to that end. The
professional is not usually, however, a man of immaculate char­
acter and habits, and his influence is often most pernicious. It is
certainly best to have one coach for all branches of sport, and
that he should be a member of the faculty. This system will
prove the best, I am positive, in the long run.
Another sort of evil in our sports demanding our attention
has to do with the conduct of the teams and their adherents dur­
ing contests on the athletic field. Here it is that the American
boy’s overzealous desire to win crops out and causes us much
trouble. Many of our schools seem to forget entirely the courte­
sies that are due to a visiting team, and lose sight also-of that

spirit of fairness which is strong in all right-minded persons when
they are not under tlie influence of great excitement. Some
abuses of this kind are those of “ gu yin g ” the visiting team,
cheering with the sole purpose of disconcerting the opposing
forces, partial umpiring, and rough or ruffianly tactics on the part
of the players themselves. '
The first of these is altogether out of place under ordinary
conditions, although I have observed instances in which the
“ guying” of a player was salutary and served to work a reform
in his style of play. The second is evidently not considered so
obvious a breach of courtesy by most students. It is on this ac­
count the more to be guarded against. In recent years an impor­
tant baseball game was lost by one of our college teams because a
usually skillful player lost his head on account of the terrific
“ rooting ” of the friends of the home team, which was clearly
indulged in for that very purpose. Was this a fair test of skill ?
And does such a victory carry with it any real satisfaction ?
My view is that the only cheering that is legitimate is that
elicited by a good play on the part of either side. There is no
real objection to concerted cheering and school yells, if they are
used on such occasions only. But recently a tendency to cheer
for the purpose of causing the signals, as in a football game, to
be indistinctly heard, and of inducing a case of “ rattles ” among
the visiting players, has become marked. This sort of cheering
cannot be too severely condemned.
Foul or rough tactics can hardly be excused on any plea and
stringent measures should be adopted to prevent their use. This
is one of the ways in which many professional coaches exert a
baneful influence, as they frequently advise just such tactics.
Many games result unsatisfactorily because' of partial umpir­
ing. The danger of dissatisfaction with the outcome of a game
is not slight even when the official is neutral. This difficulty is
rather hard to remedy. One thing is certainp-the system of hav­
ing one official from each school is rarely advisable. An effort
should be made to have neutral officials of high standing. In
any event every effort should be made to have this important
feature of the game conducted in a way satisfactory to one’s op­
ponents.
The standards set forth in this paper are doubtless in some
instances ideal. We will all find ourselves transgressing some of

6

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

the rules of this code— at least under the excitement of a close
contest. But a sincere, concerted effort on the part of schools and
colleges to live up to the Golden Rule in athletics will bear rich
fruit. “ Pure athletics— always a fair trial of skill ” should be
our motto.

/"TpH E Cumberland Valley State Normal School enjoys the
-L
distinction of being one of the best disciplined schools in
the country. Visitors never fail to speak of the fine order
and decorum of the students. It is easy for a student to behave
himself properly and very hard for him to misbehave in this
institution.
¿*
The respectful and mannerly bearing of the students of the
Cumberland Valley State Normal School is a strong indication of
the genuine worth of the institution. Politeness and courtesy
are always recognized among the better classes of our citizens as
among the best fruits of a true education.
Jt
The spirit of the teacher is the real foundation of his success.
Earnestness and strength of spirit are among the leading results
which the Cumberland Valley State Normal School seeks to rea­
lize in the development of its students. Genuine education is a
spiritual process.
The steady growth of the Cumberland Valley State Normal
School is due largely, to the superior manhood and womanhood
represented in its graduates. For this the school is entitled to
great credit and a liberal patronage on the part of those who are
preparing to teach.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

More ladies are in attendance at the Cumberland Valley State
Normal School this term than ever before in its history. This is
an indication of the healthy growth of the school. It is, also, an
indication of the increased proportion of ladies entering the
teachers’ profession each year.
The new Chemical Laboratory is quite an attraction for our
students in the Scientific Departments. The classes appear to be
much interested in the work, and good results will undoubtedly
be realized in this line of instruction.

The new drawing room, with its fine equipment of desks and
chairs, is a great advancement in the art facilities of theschool.
The desks were purchased from the Washburn Shops of the Poly­
technic Institute, Worcester, Mass., and are the latest improve­
ment in this kind of desk.
Quite a number of graduates have entered this term on the
additional work necessary to complete the new three years’
course. We are glad to notice this move as it is a move in the
right direction. The old graduates who finish the new course
will be ready for the best public school positions in the state.
jt
The friends of the public schools should allow no man to be
elected to the next Legislature who is not in favor of free tuition
in the Normal Schools of the state. The good work begun in
the last Legislature in this direction must be continued if the
Normal Schools of Pennsylvania are to keep pace with the Nor­
mal Schools of the other leading states of the union.
The coming year will test the effect of the new course of
study on the attendance of the Normal Schools of the stateThere are no indications at present that there will be any decrease
in the attendance. We would kindly request the readers of this
issue of the H e r a l d to send to the Principal the names and ad­
dresses of any persons of their acquaintance who are thinking of
entering a Normal School next Fall Term.

lEomunO $. dfccGune, Diet» dftarcb 26, 1902
/ I M3E death of Mr. E. J. McCune, Secretary of our Board of
Trustees, was a great shock to all who knew him. He had
been ill at the home of his daughter in Wilmington, Del.,
but was brought home the first week in March. It was generally
known that he was confined to his bed, but a fatal termination of
his illness was not expected. On the day of-his death he was
seemingly on the road to recovery and in good spirits. His
daughter, Mrs. Harper, who had been nursing him in his illness,
left the sick-room for a few minutes and on her return found him
dead. Death was due to heart failure and had. evidently come
instantly and painlessly.
Mr. McCune was born in 1836. He received a liberal educa­
tion. In early life he was occupied with business pursuits, but
in 1875 began the practice of law. Although he entered the legal
profession rather late in life, lie became one of the best lawyers in
this part of the state. He was one of the attorneys for the Cum­
berland Valley Railroad.
Mr. McCune was connected with the Shippensburg Normal
School from its inception. He was a trustee almost continuously
from the founding of the school to the time of his death. He
gave much time and attention to the affairs of the school, and
was a very important factor in its success. The school has sus­
tained a very great loss in the death of so able a director and ad­
viser.
The H e r a l d desires, as the representative of the school and
its Alumni, to express its deep regret at the death of Mr. McCune,
and to extend sincere sympathy to the bereaved family.

Militant ftt. Hamilton, '91, ©teO 3Feb. 13,1902.
Mr. W ill Hamilton, who had a very wide acquaintance
among Shippensburg Alumni, died on the day mentioned above
at the home of his father in Shippensburg. His death was the
result of organic heart trouble which began in his infancy. He
had been traveling for several years for a wholesale drug firm. A
few months before his death he returned home in a weakened
condition. After spending some weeks recuperating, he started
to report for work, but on reaching Philadelphia became sick and
returned to Shippensburg. His death occurred about a week
later.

12

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

Mr. Hamilton, after his graduation, entered the Altick Drug
Store in Shippensburg, later taking a course at the Philadelphia
College of Pharmacy. In his work as a salesman he ranked at
the very top in the estimation of his employers. His genial dis­
position, ready conversational powers, and bright mind, enhanced
his success in his field of labor.
The loss of such a young man as Mr. Hamilton is always
keenly felt. He was kindly disposed to all, was never known to
speak harshly of others, and had friends among all classes, young
and old. T h e H e r a l d deplores his death and sympathizes with
the parents and other relatives who are thus so sadly bereaved.

Joeepb Z. 38after, '97, ©icb ffeb. 15,1902.
It was a somewhat strange fatality that caused the death of
Mr. Baker but two days after that of Mr. Hamilton, described
above, for both were graduates of our school, served apprentice­
ships in the Altick Store, and attended the Philadelphia College
of Pharmacy. Now they lie buried in adjoining graves. Mr.
Baker was in his first year in the School of Pharmacy. He was
smitten with typhoid fever, and after fighting bravely against the
disease for some weeks finally succumbed, his death occurring at
the German Hospital in Philadelphia.
Mr. Baker returned to Normal after graduating in the Ele­
mentary Course, and completed an advanced course. He taught
school one term and then took up pharmacy. Mr. Baker was
a diligent student and an earnest worker— one who gave much
promise. He was always affable and courteous, a perfect gentle­
man, of noble character. That he should be cut off just as he
was nearing the beginning of his life work is indeed lamentable.
We extend the hand of sympathy to the bereaved mother, sister,
and brother.

Baseball
HE baseball season has begun with some promise of suc­
cess. Through the kindness of the Philo and Normal So­
cieties in contributing the receipts from their ‘ ‘ plays ’ ’ to
the athletic association, we have been enabled to purchase new
suits for the team and to get on a fairly good basis financially.
The suits consist of light gray pants, caps of the same material

with a small “ s ” in dark red silk, dark blue jerseys with a large
red “ S, ” and blue stockings. They are not showy but pleasing,
and the team looks well when on dress parade.
Beacham, ’02, who was a likely candidate for second base,
severely injured his thumb in a practice game and a rearrange­
ment of players was necessary. The bulk of the pitching will
probably fall on Mellinger, ’03, although Gray, ’04, may be called
upon for some work in this position.
The first game was played on the home grounds April 19th.
The Dickinson Prep team opposed our boys and gave us a great
scare in the first half of the game, but finally succumbed with the
score 12—11. After our boys got warmed up they played well.
The batting was better than was expected, but the fielding left
much to be desired. The Carlisle boys had an Indian pitcher
who did well, but Mellinger was a shade better, as the following
score will sh ow :

For the Spring Term work there have been added to the
faculty three instructors. Miss Ida B. Quigley, ’77, has been a
member of our teaching force during several Spring sessions and
needs no introduction to our readers. Mr. A . A . McCrone, '95,
and Mr. H. J. Ehret are the new teachers. Mr. McCrone is a
member of this year’s graduating class at Dickinson College. He
has taught in public schools and in the York County Academy.
Mr. Ehret is a graduate of Ursinus College in the class of 1900,
and has been for two years a student in the Ursinus Theo­
logical School at Philadelphia. He has taught in public schools
and in the Academy connected with Ursinus College.
A section of the Middlers is working in the new chemical
laboratory. The others have taken up German instead.
The Senior theses are in and corrected. They only await
the final copying. This work was begun and finished this year
much earlier than usual, so. that the Seniors might have their time
freer for the urgent work of the Spring Term.
Two sections of the Senior class are reading in advance of the
required Eatin, having begun the second book of Caesar.
A delegation of Seniors went to Chambersburg on Wednes­
day evening, April 16th, and enjoyed a lecture on i' Eiquid
Air ” with illustrative experiments.
We note in another place the marriage of Prof. Charles E.
Barton and Miss Edith M. Brandt. The ceremony took place at
the home of the brideat Newport, Pa., at 8.300’clock, Wednesday
evening, April 2. The wedding was a quiet one, only relatives
being present. The bride and groom took a short wedding trip
and returned to Shippensburg in time for the opening of the
Spring Term.
The bride is-a daughter of Mr. P. K. Brandt, cashier of the
First National Bank of Newport. She was a popular member of
the Class of 1900 at Normal, and is a talented young lady.
Prof. Barton has for some years been an efficient instructor in the
school and is very widely and favorably known among Shippens­
burg students. He has been the business head of the H e r a l d
for several years and has been wonderfully successful in putting
the paper on a sound financial basis.
The editors of the H e r a l d extend to Prof, and Mrs. Barton
congratulations and best wishes.

A joint reception of the Y . M. C. A . and Y . W . C. A . to
the new students was held on Saturday evening, April 19thAfter the invited guests had been received by the officers of the
two associations, entertainment was provided in the shape of two
games. In the first, blank books were given to all, and fifteen
minutes was allowed in which to collect autographs. Miss
Bower, of the Senior class, secured seventy-five and won the prize.
The books were tastefully designed and will make nice souvenirs
of the occasion for those who did not secure the prize. The other
game consisted "in the guessing of advertisement pictures. Miss
Potter, of the Senior class, won with twenty correct out of a pos­
sible twenty-tour. After these games refreshments were served
in the dining hall. The reception was, as usual, a complete
success.

The Philo Reunion will take place on May 9th. The pro­
gramme for the occasion has not yet been fully arranged. Prof.
M. L- Drum, now of Bucknell University, has been chosen to
preside.

Talk happiness. The world is sad enough
Without your woes. No path is wholly rough;
Look for the places that are smooth and clear
And speak of those to rest the.weary ear
Of earth, so hurt by one continuous strain
Of human discontent and grief and pain.

H E Woman’s Aid Society in New York has done great
work in helping the poor. Like all charitable organiza­
tions, it has to contend with ingratitude, stupidity and
willful improvidence.- The Commercial Advertiser relates one
instance that is amusing to read of, but must have been a trifle
discouraging to the society.
To a poor woman whose husband was in jail they gave*some
clothing and ten dollars in money. Thinking that she would
know best what she wanted and so spend the money more wisely
than they.
A week after the gift had been made a deputation of mem­
bers called at the squalid home to see the results of their assist­
ance. They found no improvement in the condition of the family.
“ Well, Mrs. Nolan, ” asked one of them, “ how are you get­
ting along? ”
“ Fine, ” said Mrs. Nolan.
“ Did the clothes fit and did you find a use for the money ? ”
‘ ‘ Sure the clothes fitted fine and the childer looked so nice,
I had all their pictures took wid de money ye gave me, an’ I ’m
goin’ to have me own took this week to send to the old folks in
Ireland. m B Youth's Companion.

If I were you, and you were I, Mamma,
You’d be allowed the crust of pie, Mamma,

You liked to play, or kites to fly
I’d like them, or at least I’d try
And lessons should be bye-and-bye.
I’m sure you wouldn’t ever cry
If I were you and you were I, Mamma.
If you were I, and L were you, Mamma,
I’d ask you what you wished to do Mamma ;

ANNOUNCEMENT OF COURSES

T

H E courses of instruction offered by Ursinus College
are organized under the Group System. A ll courses
lead to the degree of Bachelor of Arts.

I. THE CLASSICAL GROUP.—This is a course in the liberal arts
with special emphasis upon the Latin and Greek languages.
It is especially adapted to fit students for the theological
schools and for general work in the teaching profession.
II. THE MATHEMATICAL-PHYSICAL GROUP.—This group affords
the opportunities of a general culture course supplemented
with advanced courses in mathematics and the sciences. It is
designed for students who wish to teach these subjects, or who
wish to pursue courses in the high-grade technical schools.
III. THE CHEMICAL-BIOLOGICAL GROUP.—This group is designed
primarily for students who expect to enter the medical pro­
fession. Graduates are admitted without examination to the
second- year of medical schools. It is well adapted also for
teachers who wish to become specialists in chemistry and in
the biological sciences.
IV.

THE HISTORICAL POLITICAL GROUP.—This group offers, be­
sides the fundamental subjects, advanced courses in history
and political science. It furnishes thorough preparation for
the study of law, and enables students who expect to teach to
become specialists in history, economics, political philosophy
and public finance.

V. THE MODERN LANGUAGE GROUP.—This group emphasizes
the work in English, German, French and Spanish. It affords
1special advantages to students who expect to enter the field
of literature or who desire to become specialists in teaching
the modern languages.

Full information is contained in the general catalogue
of the College which may be obtained on application.
