Education an£> 3Ltfe.
Address o f P rincipal G. M. D. Eckels to the Class of 1901.

A /f EMBERS of the Class of 1901, I appear before you this
]
morning to deliver my last message to you as a class.
With this occasion comes my last opportunity to speak
to you as an entire body. My first impulse is to ask myself the
question ‘ ‘ by what authority do you speak ?’ ’ Surely my commis­
sion is not one which I have issued to myself. On an occasion
so sacred as this I would not dare to speak for myself alone. The
message I bring you I sincerely trust is the message our Father
would have me speak. As a faithful embassador I rejoice in this
opportunity to speak to you concerning the things which belong
to your peace and success. I have chosen for my theme “ Educa­
tion and Rife. ’ ’ The subject itself is one of very great importance
to every individual and it is of tremendous importance to the
teacher. Nothing could be more sacred than a human life, and
that which bears upon life so closely as education does must like­
wise be sacred. It is not too much to assert that the character of
a man’s education determines the worth of his life. The stream
of life rises no higher than its source, which is education.
The first step toward determining the relation between concepts
is to know fully the concepts themselves. The concepts involved
in the theme to be discussed are ‘ ‘ Education ’ ’ and ‘ 1Fife. ’ ’ What
is Education is-the first question to be considered. Spencer, the
greatest English writer on education in the nineteenth century,
defines education to be that which “ prepares us for complete liv­
ing.” The activities involved in complete living are, according
to this author, first, the activities of self preservation; second, the
activities employed in obtaining the necessaries of life; third, the
activities which fit for parenthood; fourth, the activities which
prepare for citizenship; fifth, the activities which look to the cul­
ture and gratification of the aesthetic feelings and taste.

Kant, the great German philosopher, says: “ Man can become
man only through education; he is nothing but what education
makes him, and he can be educated only by man.
Behind edu­
cation lies hidden the great secret of the perfection of human na­
ture.”
Kant lays most emphasis upon what the man should become.
Spencer lays most emphasis upon what the man should do. If
what a man does is of less importance than what a man is, then
Kant’s idea of education is better than Spencer’s.
“ Education in its broadest sense is the training of all the pow­
ers that go to make up the man.’ ’ To get at the true meaning of,
education we must have a proper conception of the ideal man.
The so-called practical idea of education which makes education
to consist in fitting a man for his calling in life, is false. To be
a lawyer, to be a mechanic, to be an artist, is not the chief end of
man. A man must first be a man and then a mechanic. They
found out in England years ago that to make a man a better mechanic
they must make the mechanic a better man. The education which
forms the ideal man is the education which leads to the growth
of the human family. To know what education is we must know
what education should produce in the individual man. We are
therefore confronted with the additional question, “ what consti­
tutes the educated man?”
Plato defined a man as a two-legged animal without feathers.
Diogenes plucked a cock and brought it into the Academy ex­
claiming, “ This is Plato’s man,” on which account this addition
was made to the definition,— “ with broad, flat nails.
The defi­
nition as amended read, ‘ ‘Man is a two-legged animal without
feathers, having broad, flat nails.” But Plato’s amended defini­
tion of a man is valuable as a description of what he is not rather
than what he is. Evidently Plato’s man was not the man for
whom Diogenes made search with a lighted candle, in broad day­
light, The “ philosopher of the tub” was after a more worthy
specimen of the genus.homo than the one represented by Plato’s
definition. Plato’s men crowd the streefs of every city, and-a
man does not need a lighted candle in daytime to find one. But
real men are somewhat rare and we may look into many faces be­
fore discovering the face of a true man.

Antony speaking over the dead body of Caesar said,
“ This was the noblest Roman o f them all;
His life was gentle, and the elements
So mixed in him that Nature m ight stand up
And say to all the world “ This was a man.”

But Caesar will not answer for our ideal. With all his greatness
he was far from perfect. Our ideal man must be as near perfect
as the mind of man can conceive. Man is not a God, however,
and on the other hand he is not a machine. Every man has a
spark of divinity in him which if kindled at the altar of God’s
love will make him more like God than any thing else which God
has created.
The Psalmist has given us a truer conception of man than that
Which has been given us by any uninspired philosopher. “ What is
man,” he exclaims, “ that thou art mindful of him or the son of
man that thou visitest him, for thou hast made him but a little lower
than the angels and hast crowned him with glory and honor. ’ ’
The Psalmist has. given us a true picture of man as God intended
him to become. Next to the angels who minister to man stands
man himself in the nobility of his life and character. God’s in­
terest in man is manifested by the fact that He has given both
glory and honor to him. God has honored man by inviting him
to become a co-laborer with Him in promoting his kingdom. He
has given glory to him in making it possible for him to become
the son of God. “ He that overcometh shall inherit all things;
and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.”
A man’s faith is the most important factor in his life. What a
man believes is of more importance than what he knows. Belief
in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man is the force
which is lifting humanity from one stage of exaltation to another
until finally the world shall be redeemed from the thralldom of
sin, and the power of Christ shall be revealed in the complete
evangelization of the whole human race. “ When the kingdoms
of this earth shall become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His
Christ,:’:’ ‘ “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evi­
dence of things not seen, ’ ’ and ‘ ‘hope is an anchor for the soul both
sure and steadfast. ” To win life’s race without knowing what is
at the end is a cheerless task. Without hope there can be no
noble effort. To hope for the best is an incentive which quickens
the energy and increases the endurance of man.

“ And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three, but the
greatest of these is charity.” Love is the greatest thing in the
world and nlost worth our seeking. There is a story of a German
prince who with his company was retreating from Moscow. A t
the close of a bitter cold day the prince with his soldiers lay down
for the night. As the soldiers looked upon their prince wrapped
in the blinding sheets of snow their hearts were touched by the
scene. They took their blankets and threw them over the body
of the prince. In the morning the prince opened his eyes to find
his comrades frozen stiff, and he alive only because of their love
for him.
When Gladstone announced to Parliament the death of Princess
Alice he told this beautiful story of thè cause of her death. The
little son of the princess was seriously ill with diphtheria. As
the little fellow tossed on his couch in the delirium of fever his
mother touched his burning forehead with her hand. Soothed by
the touch he opened his eyes and asked his mother to kiss him.
Love could not deny this request. She kissed his lips and became
a victim of the dreadful disease. Who can condemn the love
which led the mother tp risk her life in expressing it. ‘ ‘ Greater
love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his
friend.”
Man is the noblest work of God. Formed in the image of his
maker, he is to be admired above everything else that the Creator
has made. His nature is three-fold, physical, intellectual and
moral. As the intellectual nature is higher than the physical, so
the moral nature is higher than the intellectual. It was in charac­
ter that the Teuton excelled the Greek, and because of his superi­
ority in moral worth, the Teuton led the world’s march to a
higher and better civilization than humanity had hitherto known.
Man, then, in his ideal state must be all that his possibilities would
make him physically, intellectually and morally. It is the func­
tion of education to bring man as near to the realization of his
possibilities as conditions will allow.
What is life is the last question to be determined in the dis­
cussion of my theme. Aurelius says, ‘‘As for life, it is a battle,”
and surely when we look at the struggles incident to most human
lives we are inclined to agree with him. Every successful life
has encountered bitter contests. It is the conflicts of life that de­
velop strength. Without battles there can be no victories. The

T H E NORMAL; SCHOOL, H E R A L D

S

soldier in life’s warfare must not expect to be always victorious.
He must sometimes trail his banner in the dust of defeat. Our
defeats have as much to do with our ultimate success in life as
our victories. W e must learn to rise from our defeats with in­
creased wisdom and courage to engage in the next conflict.
Carlyle speaks of life as a gleam of time. “ One life— a little
gleam of time between two eternities.” When we consider the
opportunities of life we are amazed at the work which lies before
us and the “ little gleam of time” given us in which to perform
our task. The worst waste in the world is a wasted life. Every
moment is laden with opportunity, which if allowed to escape us,
will be beyond all hope of subsequent recovery.
Shakespeare speaks of life as a voyage.
“ There is a tide in the affairs o f men,
Which taken at its flood leads on to fortune,
Omitted, all the voyage o f their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.”

In every life there is the ebb and flow of the stream on which
we sail. We must take advantage of every gale that blows and
of every swelling of the tide in order that we may reach the harbor
we desire to enter. One of the most helpless things in the world
is a stranded vessel. It matters not how fine its construction
when landed upon the rocks and shoals it is only a question of
time when its ruin will be complete. Helpless and hopeless as
is the stranded vessel, a stranded life is a thousand times more
pitiable. The vessel is rushed to its destruction by no thought
or volition of its own, but the stranded life owes its destruction
to dangers which forethought might have avoided. No life can be
wrecked unless it be willfully wrecked.
Life is spoken of as a school. True it is we must always be
learners if we are ever to be leaders. W e step out of these halls
of learning only to enter the higher school of life. Experience,
example, labor, trial, necessity are all divinely appointed masters
from whom we must daily take our life lessons.
Our conception of life must be ideal, if our life is to advance.
It is the ideal in life which constitutes its basis of progress. It is
true we have the Christ life as our perfect pattern, but many do
not believe in Him as the Son of God and consequently lose the
power of His example. For those who believe in Him as the
Son of God and the Savior of men, His life becomes a source of

6

T H E NORMAL, SCHOOL H E RA LD

power for their uplifting, “ And I, if I be lifted up, will draw
all men unto me.” Christ says, “ I came that ye might have life
and that ye might have it more abundantly.”
Life is the product of which living is the process and man the
power. Education determines the extent and character of the
power. Life is the manifestation of a force which can be felt but
not seen. Life may be high or low ; it may be true or false.
Life takes its coloring, whether bright or dark, from the character
of him who lives it. The aim of life should be as high as heaven
itself. “ He who aims beneath the stars aims too low .” “ Not
failure, but low aim is crime.” “ Hitch your wagon to a star”
was the counsel which Emerson gave, and the old Yankee farmer
added the sage advice “ and grease your wheels before you start.”
Many fail in life because they start before they are ready.
Thorough preparation is the watchword which greets every suc­
cessful man as he steps upon the threshold of life. What is life ?
It is living the best life which we are capable of living. Any­
thing lower than this is existing but not living. It is the dedica­
tion of our powers to the work which God has committed to our
care. It is living in full view of eternity. It is taking our stand
where God has placed us, and having conquered self and the
world, to stand fast though the storm should break in fury over
our head and the very earth should rock beneath our feet.
“ Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God that ye may­
be able to stand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”
Life is a gift of God. The value of the gift depends upon the
use we make of it. May we, like P a u l , p r e s s forward toward
the mark of the prize of the high calling as it is in Christ Jesus,”
and in the end be able to say like Him, “ I have fought a good
fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith hence­
forth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the
Lord, the Righteous Judge, shall give me at that day ; and not to
me only, but unto all them also that love His appearing.” For­
bid that any of us should have the lament of Wolsey when he ex­
claimed, “ O, Cromwell, Cromwell, had I but served my God
with half the zeal I served my king He would not now have given
me over in my gray hairs. Howbeit, this is my just reward for
my pains and diligence, not regarding my service to God, but only
my duty to my prince.”
The starting point of life, and likewise its completion, is in

education. The child comes into the world helpless and weak,
but with the germs of power which, when developed, may make
him a ruler over his nation. The development of this marvelous
power awaits the magic touch of the teacher. That which is to
be worked out in the life of the child must first be put into his
education. The kind of lives we have in the world depends upon
the kind of men we have in the world, and the kind of men we
have in the world depends upon the kind of education they have
received.
Do we want thoughtful lives in the coming generation ? Then
the children must be trained to think. Much of the work of
the school is wasted, because it does not tend in the right direc­
tion . The minds of the children are daily being stuffed with a
mass of undigested stuff, which, instead of promoting thought,
hinders it. The question is the great instrument in the hands of
the teacher to quicken thought. Not only must the teacher be
taught to question properly, but the pupils must learn to question
themselves.
Do we wish men of ingenuity ? Then we must lay the founda­
tion for this power in the school-room. It is the ingenuity of
men which distinguishes them more particularly from the lower
animals. It is the ingenuity of the Anglo-Saxon race, developed
under adverse circumstances, that has made them the leaders in
the world’s march of progress.
Noble living is largely the result of inspiration. The teacher
who has the power to inspire his pupils with high aims is after all
the true teacher. The pupil who has had his ambition aroused,
his energy quickened, his enthusiasm awakened and his soul filled
with hope and courage by his teachers, owes them a debt of grati­
tude which can only be paid in the blessings which a soul thus
educated brings to the people coming under his influence.
The spirit of progress animates all successful living. The
wheels of progress move slowly because there are so many dead
weights to them. The teacher who inspires his pupils with the
spirit of the age, who fires their souls with a burning zeal for bet­
ter things than the world has yet known, is the great teacher.
The world owes much to the men and women who have moved
the car of progress into the midst of those who were satisfied to
let things remain as they found them.
It was the boast of
Caesar Augustus that he found Rome brick and left it marble.

THE} N O RM AL SCHOOL H E RA LD

The spiritual must be emphasized over the material. When
Kipling, the author, was shown the high blocks of houses, the
immense factory buildings, and the stockyards of Chicago, he
cried, “ Shame on you if these are the glory of your city.” It is
the spiritual element in man which gives him his crowning glory.
It is in the unseen that the world’s greatness must be found. The
teacher who touches the spiritual life of the child has kindled a
flame which will give both light and life to the world. Ideas
move the world. It is related that in the second Messenian war
the Spartans, obeying the Delphic Oracle, sent to Athens for a
leader, and the Athenians, in contempt, sent them a lame school­
master. But the school-master had within him the spirit of song,
and he so inspired the Spartans that they finally gained the vic­
tory.
It is impossible to form character without effort that is often
painful. The interest which is born only of pleasure is not the
sole interest the child must find in his training. The noblest
things we do in life will often cause us great sacrifice and suffer­
ing. Duty as well as pleasure must be the incentive of the child
in the school-room if he is to be fitted for any great and noble
work in life. The child that has been permitted to walk in the
pathways of his own delight will be a weak character when he
comes to compete with the men who have been trained in the
school of hardship and self-denial.
And now I must stop speaking lest I weary you with my
speech. What I have said to you has been spoken from a heart
yearning for your success. My interest in your welfare will not
die out with this occasion. I will go with you in your fields of
labor for the coming years, ready to cheer you in every victory
you honestly gain, and to weep with you in every misfortune that
may overtake you. As the shadows come and go in your path­
ways, may the last shadow be followed by a light that never
faileth.

livered before the class, and also changed in a few particulars. T h e general outline,

Commencement.
SENIOR RECEPTION.

H E first event of the Commencement season was the recep­
tion to the Senior class by the Faculty and Trustees on
Saturday evening, June 22. The usual inviting feast was
spread in the dining hall. After this had been disposed of, accord­
ing to time-honored custom, the president and orator of 1901 were
called on and responded on behalf of the class in very happy style.
After them the different members of the Faculty were called on
in turn and expressed their good wishes for the class and gave
their parting words of advice. The usual fun was not missing
and the time to sing “ Auld Fang Syne” and depart came all too
soon.

■

THE BACCALAUREATE SERMON.

Sunday evening at 6 o’clock the Baccalaureate services were
held. The sermon was preached by Rev. Luther A . Oates of
Falling Spring Presbyterian church, Chambersburg, on the text,
‘ ‘Take heed unto thyself.” Dr. Diffenbacher and Rev. Gossard
of Shippensburg, Dr. S. A . Martin, president of Wilson College,
and Dr. J. Morgan Reed, of Atlantic City, assisted in the services.
The music for the occasion, besides the hymns by the congrega­
tion, consisted of a duet by Miss Julia Weaver and Mr. Howard
Bollinger and a chorus, “ The Recessional,” by students under the
direction of Miss Katherine Weaver.
The discourse of the evening was an admirable one, delivered
in a simple but impressive style. The theme was “ Character.”
The following is an epitome of Mr. Oates’ sermon:
‘ ‘Take heed to thyself. ’ ’ This is the terse but pregnant advice
of an old man to a young man whom he was anxious to see stand
in the front rank of influence in the church and in the world. It
proceeds on the assumption that personal worth is the main thing
and that everything else rests upon that. When self is made
right everything will be right— doctrine, thought, conviction,
purpose, aim, reputation and influence. In other words, the
main thing for man to look to in this world is his own character.
That is the supreme thing. Character is a Greek word and means
a sign— a cutting— an impression— as of a die in wax. It stands
for the thing itself. A man’s character is not what he seems to
be— that is his reputation— but what he is.

10

T H E N O RM A L SCHOOL H E RA LD

What are the chief points to look after in the effort to build
up an enviable character ?
I put down the first and foremost— nothing without effort.
There is nothing remarkable in that statement. It is true of
everything worth having. Everything worth having costs.
2. Positiveness— self-assertiveness. Pet there be no doubt
about yourself. Let no man discount your selfhood. It is a
mistake to expect all good men to be alike but each must be
himself.
3. The man who would make the most of himself must make
the right choice of the right thing and he ought to begin doing it
early. Here is one point I would impress upon you young people:
There is such a thing as a wasted life, and a life wasted cannot be
gathered up. Nothing a man or woman has is so easily wasted
as himself.
4.
No character is what it ought to be without the flower of the
Christian grace.
5.
There can be no true character without the contemplation
and service of Jesus Christ and His truth. Christ is the model.
He is the North star.
PRINCIPAL’S ADDRESS.

Monday morning, Dr. Eckels delivered his address to the
graduating class. The address is published in this issue of the
H e r a ld . The theme was a practical one, and the thoughts pre­
sented will be helpful to the graduates in their life work.
MUSICAL AND LITERARY ENTERTAINMENT—ART EXHIBIT.

On Monday evening there were two attractions, the exhibition
of the Art Department and an entertainment by the Music and
Elocution Department. The Art Exhibit gave evidence of very
thorough class-room work, and was very favorably commented
upon by all who saw it. The entertainment of the evening was
a superior one— spoken of by many as one of the best ever given
at the school. The program was as follows :

The program was of unusual excellence, and was made more in­
teresting by the introduction of several new features, notably the
Mantle Oration and the Class Roll. It will be noticed that the
Prophet, Poet and Presenter have been dropped from the list of
class officers. Program :

REUNION OP CLASS OF ’99.

The Class of ’99, many of whose members were here to
receive their second diplomas, held their reunion on Tuesday
afternoon, at 2 o ’clock, at which time the program given below
was carried out, and afforded entertainment to a good-sized audi­
ence. An important feature was the presentation to the school
of about fifty volumes for the library. These consist of the com­
plete works of Cooper, Irving, Prescott and Ruskin. About sixty
members of the class were in attendance, and the reunion in every

REUNION AND BANQUET Of CLASS O f ’91.

In the afternoon at three o’clock the Class of ’91 celebrated
its decennial by an informal meeting in the Model School Room.
Here twenty-odd of the original eighty members of the class
spent a delightful hour together. In the evening at eight o’clock
the class and some invited guests enjoyed a banquet at the
Sherman House, Shippensburg. Prof. Rife, president of the
class, acted as toast master and filled the position extremely well.
Mr. J. S. Omwake responded to “ The L aw ,” Prof. G. H.
Eckels to “ The Teacher,” Prof. C. E. Barton to “ Fulton
County,” Prof. J. O. Gray to “ Perry'C ounty,” Prof. J. S.
Heiges to “ York County,” and Mr. W . H. Kissinger to “ The
Merchant.” Mr. G. Wilson Swartz, Esq., of Carlisle was called
upon to respond on behalf of the visitors. The toasts were very
well received and the banquet was voted an entire success by all
present. The class prepared a letter of greeting to their class­
mate, Mr. James M. Hoover, who is a missionary in India.
ALUMNI REUNION.

Tuesday evening at 8 o’clock the Alumni Association gave a
public program that caused much favorable comment. The ad­
dresses by Mr. W ickey and Mr. Omwake were of unusual merit
and the entire program was excellent. It was as follows:

COMMENCEMENT.

A t 9.30 Wednesday morning the Class of 1901 appeared for the
final exercises of Commencement Week. A departure from the
usual order was noticed here. Instead of a large number of
orations, essays, etc., from the students, the class was repre­
sented only by an oration, a vocal solo and a recitation. These
numbers, however, deserve great praise, and reflect much credit
upon the class. The main feature was the Commencement A d ­
dress, by Dr. George Edward Reed, President of Dickinson Col­
lege. Dr. Reed took as his subject ‘ ‘The Coming Age— Its Char­
acteristics, and the Duties of Men and Women ,” His discussion
was both humorous and forceful. Dr. Reed said that the coming
age will be phenomenal for its material development, for its in­
tellectual development, and for its altruistic tendencies. There
will devolve upon men and women the duty and responsibility of
seeing that we shall not fall into a selfish materialism, to the det­
riment of the intellect and the spirit. The address was a masterly
one, and held the closest attention of the large audience for more
than an hour.
Besides the diplomas to. the regular graduates, eighty-nine
second diplomas were granted to graduates who have taught two
years successfully in the common schools since graduation.
Teachers’ State Certificates were granted to George E. Zerfoss,
Coudersport, Pa. ; D. M. Hetrick, Mexico, Pa., and Bruce I.
Myers, Shirleysburg, Pa. The program follows :

ALUMNI BUSINESS MEETING-ALUMNI DANCE.

A t 2.30 Wednesday afternoon the annual business meeting of
the Alumni Association was held. The Class, of ’01 was regularly
admitted to membership. The report of the Obituary Committee
as it appears in this issue of the H e r a l d was accepted and the
committee continued. The treasurer’s report was also found ac­
ceptable. The following officers were elected for the next year:
President, Mr. W. N. Decker, ’95; vice-president, Mr. Miles A.
Keasey, ’00; secretary, Miss Ada V . Horton, ’88; treasurer, Dr.
J. F. Barton, ’74p>'executive committee, Mr. S. S. Rupp, ’81, and
Mr. G. E. Omwake, ’93. In the evening the annual Alumni
Dance was held in the large chapel. This function closed the
Commencement Week in a very delightful manner. Excellent
music was furnished for this as well as for all the commencement
exercises by Oyler’s Orchestra of Harrisburg. Students, grad­
uates and,visitors departed with the conviction that the 28th
Commencement of the Shippensburg Normal Was the most suc­
cessful in the history of the institution.
TO A BUTTERFLY IN THE CITY.
Adown the blistering lanes o f sculptured stone.
Whose towering fronts mark out the Midas bowers,
Through sun-baked highways in the noontide hours,;
O’er glare o f pave where jostling thousands groan
For silent stretch o f woodland shade, alone,
Or quietude of nook where brooklets sing,
Thou flutterest, beauteous, on inconstant wing,
Whilst commerce rales in hoarse, unchanging drone.
O, lost on Trade’s uncouth, far-reaching strand—
That knows not banks a-flower, nor ripened bough,
Nor wind-blown reach where all is fair and free—
Bright symbol o f the poet’s thoughts art thou,
Bearing to men engrossed in merchantry
Enchahting hint o f far Elysian land.

H E H erald has now completed its fifth year. We have
reason to believe that it is fulfilling its mission wherever
the Alumni are interested enough to subscribe. The
school which we represent has had a very prosperous year and
the future will be bright if the new three years course shall prove
a success. The H e r a l d will try to do its part toward making
the new course popular. We bespeak your help for Volume V I.
We regret that we are not able to give our readers a cut of the
faculty as promised. It was impossible to get pictures of certain
teachers in time for this issue. A cut of the Class of 1901 appears
in this number and will no doubt be of interest to many of our
readers.

J. ROY MOHLER, ’96, DIED MAY 29.1901.

H E death of J. Roy Mohler occurred on the date mentioned
above. He was not yet 25 years of age, but consumption
had for some time been sapping his strength and his death
was not unexpected. He was a very ambitious young man and
intensely interested in his" profession. After his .graduation from
Shippensburg he devoted all his time to teaching and was emi-

nently successful in his work. While at school here Mr. Mohler
had the highest respect of all who knew him. He was a bright
and industrious student, a manly man and worthy. His early
death is much lamented by his schoolmates and teachers. The
H e r a l d sympathizes deeply with the parents and relatives of the
deceased.

H E Anniversary of the Normal Society was celebrated on
April 26th, and, as announced in the April H e r a l d , the
program was given entirely by members of the societyl S
either active or honorary. Mr. J. S. Omwake, ’91, presided, and
Rev. M. E. Swartz, of the Methodist Church of Shippensburg,
delivered the address of the evening in able style. The remainder
of the program consisted of music and recitations.
The Philo Society held its Reunion on the 17th of May, and
the program was also given by members exclusively. Mr. Ray­
mond Gettel, ’98, as President, opened with a neat speech. Miss
Eva Duke, of Shippensburg, gave a vocal solo ; Miss Ethel
Smiley, ’97, recited. These and similar numbers made up an
excellent program. Both societies are pleased with the departure
from the custom of paying an entertainer to that of an entertain­
ment by local talent.
The Model School entertainment was held this year on the
31st of May. It consisted of a rendition of the beautiful operetta,
“ Snow-White.” The Model School sustained its well-earned
reputation for giving excellent entertainments. The operetta
itself has a very pretty story, and the parts were well sung and
acted. The proceeds, about ninety dollars, will be devoted to
the Model School library.
Dr. Eckels delivered the address to the graduating class of the
High School at Chambersburg, and also at Strasburg, Lancaster
county.
On the 18th of May the annual recital of the pupils in the
Music and Elocution departments was given. The entertainmentwas a success, and reflects great credit upon Miss Weaver and
Miss Fitch, the heads of these departments.
The State Board of Examiners began its work on Monday,
June 17th, and announced the results Tuesday evening, at 6
o’clock. A ll the Seniors were passed. One hundred and ten
persons were passed into the Senior year, and about twenty into
the Middle Year of the new course. The Board was made up of
the following : Henry Houck, Deputy Superintendent Public In­
struction ; J. P. Welsh, Principal Bloomsburg Norm al; J. Anson
Wright, Superintendent Bedford county; W . W. Rupert, Super­
intendent Pottstown; Daniel Fleisher, Superintendent Columbia;

J. W . Cooper, Superintendent Shenandoah; J. C. Houser, Super­
intendent Danville; H . V . B. Garver, Superintendent Dauphin
county ; and G. M. D. Kckels, Principal of the School. Dr.
Eckels was also on the Board at the California Normal School.
Miss Katherine Weaver, teacher of Music, has resigned, and
goes to Boston to continue her studies. Miss Edith Baldwin,
teacher of Drawing, has accepted a similar position in Lebanon
Valley College. Each of these teachers was very good in her de­
partment, and the school is sorry to lose their Services.
The C. V . R. R. has erected a very neat structure at the edge
of the campus bordering on Normal avenue that will serve as a
Station at the beginning and close of each term, at which times
trains stop at the school. This will not only be a great con­
venience, but an ornament to the campus. It has been favorably
commented upon on all sides.
Jugt a few weeks before school closed the project of having
Field Day on Monday of Commencement Week was set on foot.
By faithful practice the boys got into as good condition as was
possible in the time left, and the sports proved a great success.
The contest was between the Seniors and Juniors, the former win­
ning by 59 points to 27. The Juniors were unfortunate in having
three or four of their best men leave school before the day set for
the sports. First place counted five points; second, three points,
and third, one point. The winner of each event was presented
with a school pennant made of silk. These were the handiwork
of a number of the young ladies. The results were as follows :
16 -Pound Shot Put—Fortna, ’02, 29 feet 8 inches; Shaeffer, ’01,29 feet
6 inches; Cook, ’01, 28 feet 11 inches.
, . 60 Yards Dash—Hager, ’01; Weaver, ’02; Noll, ’02. Time, 7-| seconds.
Running Broad Jump—Widney, ’01, 16 feet 6 inches; Fortna, ’02, IS

Relay Race—W on by Senior team, Williams, Barrick, Briner, Widney and Hager.

These records will stand as the school records in these events
until surpassed. It is purposed to do more and better work next
year. The records made are, however, very fair, considering the
conditions. The time in the 6o-yard dash and 100-yard dash was
especially good, as these events were run on a rather poor grass
course. The baseball throw was good also. None of the results
is without promise.

Baseball.
H E baseball season opened this year with poor prospects.“'
The season was late, because of the frequent and heavy
rains— especially so with us, as our field had just been
plowed up and leveled. Not a single player of last year’s team
was available. Yet the season was fairly successful, and the
team played some creditable games. Five games were played
and three won.

ISO UINKINDNESS INTENDED.

UDGE RICE, of Novena, is perhaps lacking in a sense
. of humor, but he is the most punctual man in the State.
When made superintendent of the Sunday-school, he at once
set about reform in the matter of attendance and punctuality. It
was impossible to resist the Judge’s benign persistence, and the
list of tardies and absences, read out by him impressively every
Sunday, has steadily decreased.
A few Sundays ago he had the pleasure of making the follow­

WHAT AILED TOMMY.

At A H E ins and outs of Thomas McGregor’s case are thus set
forth by the Cleveland Plain Dealer. He had not been at
school for several days, and at last the teacher said :
“ Can anyone tell me why Tommy McGregor is absent ?”
A little girl raised her hand.
“ Well, Mary, you may speak.”
“ Please, ma’am ,” said Mary, “ it’s ’cause he’s got ‘measles
inside.’ ” The source of Mary’s information may be easily
guessed. She had read the contagious disease card that was
tacked on the outside of Tommy's house.— Youth's Companion.

How much energy, vitality, effort, is being expended every
day fruitlessly because of the want of intelligent application!
Even among students of college there are some who, though they
are sincerely studious in their daily work, pass through their
course without having attained the best which their opportunity
affords and their efforts seem to deserve.

Duty is a power which rises with us in the morning and goes
to rest with us at night. It is the shadow which cleaves to us

light of lifz.%f-Gladstone.

‘ ‘Sad will be the day for any man when he becomes absolutely
contented with the life he is living, the thoughts he is thinking,
and the deeds he is doing; when there is not forever beating at
the doors of his soul a great desire to do something larger which
he knows he was meant and made to do. ” -—Phillips Brooks.
