PRINCIPAL’S L E T T E R TO THE ALUMNI
Dear Friends:
We are in the midst of our Summet School registration
as I write these lineis. We expected 650 and thought per­
chance our attendance might reach 700, but a steady
stream of students has poured in until now our registration
stands at 770 with probably a dozen more to enter;. We
are “crowded to overflowing”—very literally so, for owing
to the fact that our annex to the dining room is closed, it
is necessary for all meals to be1 served cafeteria. We try
‘to arrange matters so that no student need remain in line
more than twenty minutes and that the large! majority will
be in line only ten or fifteen. A plentiful supply of food is
served and Miss McWilliams makes sure that every student
gets all that he wishes to eat.
The old “Main” or “Administration Building” is being
made over during these weeks. Much of our work is being
done to the sound of hammer and saw, but we are all will­
ing to put up with these temporary inconveniences, since
we can look forward to a modern building in the fall,
thoroughly renovated. Fire proof stair towers will displace
the fifty year old stairway, our old chapel will be displaced
by a new one not only more serviceable but one which will
be a joy to every lover of beautiful things. We shall have
an enlarged and better equipped dining room. The recep­
tion room will be completely changed and greatly enlarged.

TH E NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

The Principal’s office will be so changed as to make more
efficient service possible, and the eintire basement will be
renovated. The day students lunch rooms will be changed
from first floor to basement and the first floor rooms en­
larged into fine class rooms. An elevator will be put in
place, modern lavatories will be installed in the men’s side
of the building, and best of all our kitchen will be increas­
ed to double its present size and provided with a thoroughly
modern equipment. This is a big project (speaking pedagogically) to be worked out by September 17, but our con­
tractor has promised us that it will be ready at that time.
Commencement is a memory of the past but we can­
not help saying that it was one of the most pleasant that
we have ever had. The weather was all that could be de­
sired; in fact the weather man could not have given us a
better day than Tuesday, June 12. The Class Day exer­
cises were unusually good, the Alumni parade, though pos­
sibly not as large numerically as some that we have had
during the past ten years, was a fine one. Probably the
fact that our School Concert Band furnished the music may
have had something to do with the fine spirit that was
shown. And what a fine Alumni meeting we had! The
addresses were all short, informal and straight from the
heart. Hon. Quinn T . Mickey, ’83, Pres. George Leslie
Omwake, ’93, L . Dale Crunkleton, ’03, Ray R . Stouffer,
T3, and Garth Kelley, ’21, set the pace for all reunion
Alumni speakers. President G. Will Henry of Penbrook,
made an excellent presiding officer. We were glad to note
that nearly all of the class reunions were well' attended.
I must not forget to mention the short but effective
speech of Mr. Jeff McClelland, an alumnus by adoption, in
which he told of the work of the Metropolitan Alumni As­
sociation in establishing Alumni scholarships. That asso­
ciation has established scholarships to the memory of Dr.
G. M. D. Eckels, and Prin. John F . McCreary. One will
be established bearing the name of Mr. J . A. C. McCune,
for many years the Treasurer of the School. L . M. Shepp,
’96, gave funds for still another to the memory of Dr. Jos.
F . Barton, for many years Vice-Principal of this school..
The class of ’93, under the leadership of Oscar Little, sub­
scribed the funds necessary for another bearing the name
of Prof. J . W . Hughes. Not to be outdone, the class of
’21 established two scholarships to the memory of Dr.
James Eldon.

I wish to thank the generous spirits among our alumni
who have made possible these gifts to the Alumni Fund.
No project lies nearer to my heart than the increase of
this fund. In what nobler way can we perpetuate the
memory of some man or woman who has made life better
and happier for us than by establishing a scholarship bear­
ing his or her name thus forever associating that name with
a most beneficial service to young men and women who
need financial help?
As I write registrations for the Fall Term are coming
in in a steady stream. We have fifty per cent more regis­
trations than we had at this time last year. We are espec­
ially gratified to note so many sons and daughters of the
Alumni n ¡this list. The “some one to take my place” idea
is growing and we are pleased that so many of the seniors
of last year are sending their representatives here next
year.
So present prospects for a happy and prosperous year
at Old Normal next year are very bright indeed. We thank
you one and all for the splendid co-operation that has made
this condition possible.
With best wishes, I am,
Fraternally yours,
EZRA LEHMAN, ’89
DEAN J . S. HEIGES HONORED BY URSINUS COLLEGE
Ursinus College at its recent commencement, gave a
deserved honor to Dean J . S . Heiges when it bestowed the
degree of Doctor of Pedagogy upon him. Dr. Heiges was
graduated from Ursinus in 1898 in the same class with
President George Leslie Omwake and Prof. W . M. Rife.
He has been a member of the faculty of this school since
1902 and has been Dean of Instruction for the past twelve
years. The HERALD extends its congratulations to him.
ATTENDANCE AT SUMMER SESSION
The attendance at the Summer Session has broken all
records at our school. We realize that there will come a
time in the not-distant future when it will be no longer pos­
sible to break records because of physical limitations. We
are inclined to believe that the situation has been reached
in our summer enrollment. 770 students are with us at
the present time. Twenty-four counties are represented
at the summer session. Bedford county with 135 students

6

TH E NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

leads all counties with Franklin as a contender for hon­
ors. The nearest approach to Franklin’s 122 is Cumber­
land’s enrollment of 108. Dauphin swings in line with 74,
a fine body from that bailiwick; Perry sends 65, breaking
all her former records; Adams falls one below Perry and lit­
tle Fulton, but ten below.
Huntingdon contributes 33.)
York^ leads this list with 44. Blair sends 14, Juniata 17,
Mifflin 15 and Cambria 11. Far off Clearfield sends 5 and
the following counties are represented by from 1 to 4 : Al­
legheny, Lancaster, Lebanon, Lehigh, Montgomery, Schuyl­
kill, Snyder, Philadelphia and Westmoreland.
R EG IST E R NOW FOR THE FA LL TERM
Registrations are coming in every day for the fall term.
Last year we announced that our advanced enrollment was'
fifty per cent, in advance of that of any previous year..
We should have been satisfied if the same figures had been
maintained this year, but all records are broken again as
the registration this year is almost exactly fifty per cent,
in advance of last year.
Should the present rate of enrollment continue during
July and August, we should be swamped with registrants.
As matters stand now we have a few rooms available in our
dormitories. These will undoubtedly all be engaged in the
next few weeks. While it is possible for us to board 600
students during the summer term by using the cafeteria
system of serving, we cannot use this plan during the regu­
lar school year. We must provide a place at table for ev­
ery student. We want our regular school life to be as
homelike as possible.
Even though our dining roopi will be much enlarged
we cannot find room for more than 400 students. When
this number of students have paid their registration fees, we
shall not receive any more boarding students. All others
admitted will be registered as day students. If you expect
to be with us next year as a boarding student, don’t delay
registering. Send in the five dollar fee at once so that a
room may be held for you.
OPPORTUNITIES OPEN TO STUDEN TS AT TH E
SHIPPENSBURG STA TE NORMAL SCHOOL
Are you interested in taking a course at a Normal
School?
The Shippensburg State Normal School offers
you the following advantages and opportunities:

TH E NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

7

1.
Four well established flourishing courses: The
Primary-Kindergarten, the Intermediate, the Junior High
and the Rural.
^2. Opportunities to develop musical ability by
joining ^The School Concert Band,” “The Philharmonic Or­
chestra,
The Men s Glee Club,” or “The Girls' Choral So­
cie ty .” Free Instruction is given to the members of these
organizations.
3. Opportunity to do newspaper work as a member of
the staff of the Campus Reflector,” the weekly newspa­
per published by the student body. The Press Club also
gives additional opportunity along this line.
4. Opportunity to develop athletic ability. Because
of the large number of men enrolled as students we can
give opportunity in foot ball, basket ball, baseball and
track and field events. The young women have organized
hockey, basket ball and girls* baseball teams. Eight ten­
nis courts will be available in September. This game is
open to both men and women.
5. An education within the reach of all. Note how
reasonable expenses are: Board, including furnished room,
with heat, laundry and nurses’ services when necessary,
six dollars a week or $216.00 for the school year. The
other expenses are the five dollars registration fee, payable
when a room is engaged, two term fees of $7'50 each cov­
ering the cost of admission to games, lectures, concerts,
etc. Books will cost about ten dollars for the year. Thus
the entire necessary expense for the school year will be
slightly less than $250.00.
A limited number of students are employed as waiters,
caretakers of rooms, etc. For this service students receive
from $ 2 .5 0 .to $4.00 a week. These1 positions are in much
demand. It is always advisable for a new student to be
able to meet all financial obligations for the first semester
as it is seldom possible! to secure a position at the start.
Worthy students \dio are entirely or practically selfsupporting may secure a loan of $100.00 from the Alumni
fund during their senior year. This sum bears no interest,
but is payable one year after the student graduates.
NORMAL LITERA RY SOCIETY PRESEN TS $ioo
FOR PICTURES
The Normal Literary Society commemorated its fiftieth
anniversary with a suitable program, but one of the most

praiseworthy numbers was the one that did not appear oh
the printed programs. Near the close of the play deal­
ing with the past, the society presented a check for one
hundred dollars to Principal Lehman. This sum will be
used in purchasing a number of pictures for the reception
room, Chapel and halls. These will be suitably marked
as the gift of the society.
COMMENCEMENT EX E R C ISE S AT SHIPPENSBITRG
STA TE NORMAL
The Commencement season opened at the Shippensburg Normal School with the senior banquet on Saturday
evening. Miss McWilliams, the school dietitian, had pre­
pared a most appetizing menu for the occasion.
The toasts are always an interesting feature of this
event. Dr. Lehman acted as Toastmaster and introduced
the speakers with stories illustrative of their varied char­
acteristics. Mr. Paul W ert, Arendtsville, the class Presi­
dent, responded to the toast, “The Climax,” and Mr. Mitch­
ell Dreese of Millerstown, to “Reminiscences.” Prof. J .
S . Heiges told about “Things I have Learned,” and Miss
Mary R . Harris, one of the Deans of the class spoke on the
“Door in the W all.” Hon. C. Arthur Greist of Guernsey,
answered to the toast “The Trustees.” Mr. Wert at this
point presented appropriate•gifts to Prof. Heiges and Miss
Harris on behalf of the class in recognition of their servi­
ces as Class Deans. At the close of the speaking all sang
Alma Mater and Auld Lang Syne.
While the seniors were banqueting the under classmen
were given a dance in the gymnasium.
Baccalaureate Services
Sunday evening ushered in the Baccalaureate service.,
The large senior class, 180 in number, marched in to the
music of the old classical hymn “Integer Vitae”. The min­
isters and principal occupied seats on the rostrum with a
large school chorus.
Rev. H. R . Lobb of the Church of God, delivered the
invocation; Rev. J . D . Lindsay of the Presbyterian
Church, read Phil. 2, 1-11 as the evening lesson. A mixed
chorus sang Handel’s “Largo” and Refv. D . J . Wetzel of
the Reformed Church offered prayer.
The Baccalaureate sermon was delivered by Rev. Stew­
art Winfield Herman, D . D ., of the Zion Lutheran Church,
Harrisburg. His theme was “Life as a Masterpiece.” He

TH E NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

9

delivered a splendid message to the young people empha­
sizing the gospel of service. He contrasted the work of
the! teacher with that of the warrior and stressed the dif­
ferent ideals of the two. He pointed out that the elements
that enter into a masterpiece are humility, sacrifice!, appli­
cation and service. He illustrated his theme with practi­
cal stories from life.
Miriam Aurandt played “Ave Maria” as a violin solo
during the taking of the offering. Two fine musical num­
bers by the mixed chorus and the Girl’s Club under the di­
rection of Prof. Slyter came next. The benediction was
pronounced by Rev. H. E . Crow of the Methodist Church
and the seniors passed out singing “Onward Christian Sol­
diers” as a recessional.
Monday’s Program
The music clubs of the Normal School: Philharmonic
Orchestra, Girls’ Choral Club, Boys’ Chorus, Concert Band,
gave a most enjoyable concert on Monday evening. The
program opened with an orchestral selection, “The Golden
Sceptre.” Janet Shearer followed with a solo, "Happy
B ird .” Other vocal selections were “Invictus’ by Harry
Markley, “Carmona,” Ethel McCormick, “Morning,” Marian
Rummel, and “The Wind,” by Mildred Shambaugh. The
Girl’s Choral Society rendered several fine selections. The
Boys’ Chorus sang “Life’s Dream“ and “The Backsliding
Brother” .
The concert band made its first public appearance in
concert and rendered Crosby’s “In a Rose Garden” ana
“Student Sp irit.”
The program was of a high order and reflected much
credit upon Prof. D. 0 . Slyter and his assistants in the
music department.
On Monday afternoon at four o’clock the Arts and
Crafts Club served Tea and Ice Cream in the studios. The
exhibition made up of the work of the art students was un­
usually good, representing as it did every phase of public
school art.
The class of 1922 returned in large numbers for its
first reunion. About 75 members of the class journeyed to
Graffenburg Inn where they enjoyed a fine banquet. At
the close of the banquet a musical and literary program
was rendered which was followed by a dance. Dr. and
Mrs. Lehman, Prof, and Mrs. Krebs were present as the
guests of the class.

TH E NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
Class Day Exercises
Tuesday was Class Day at the Shippensburg Normal
School. The class of 1923 was favored by the weather
man who could not have given the young people a finer day
for their out of door exercises. Though the sun shone
there was enough cloud to break its rays and to make out
or doors most attractive.
Promptly at 9:45 the 180 members of the senior class
came marching down the roadway in front of the main
building and occupied places on the out-of-doors platform.,
Paul G. Wert, the President of the class, then delivered his
oration. His theme was “Paddle Your Own Canoe”—
Watching the other fellow won’t carry you up stream. La­
bor is the source of happiness. There is no substitute for
it. Work never kills; it is care that kills. It is possible to
work and to be happy at the same time. The reason there
is so much unhappiness is that we often do not know what
we seek; or we imagine any other thing conducive to hap­
piness. We are discontented; we are at war with fate and
we need to be turned around mentally. By coming into
touch with the source of all life we increase our courage
and strength.
Mitchell Dreese of Millerstown, delivered the class
oration. He took as his subject “The Game of L ife .” He
compared life to a football game and showed that to be suc­
cessful one must play the game square and play it hard.
iHe must keep his eyes open and try to improve from day
to day. Mr. Dreese has a good carrying voice. He spoke
with sincerity and made a most favorable impression up­
on all who heard him.
The school concert band under the leadership of Prof.
Slyter furnished a selection of music at this place in the
program. The work of the student band and orchestra
called forth most favorable comments from all who heard
them.
Ralph G. Orner of Arendtsville, was Mantle Orator.
Under the title “What’s in a Name,” the speaker pointed
out the elements of true and lasting worth that character­
ize man and nations whose name we cherish. He paid tri­
bute to the spirit of normal and the high ideals for which
it stands. The speaker then with appropriate address be­
stowed the mantle of the class of 1923 upon Reba Shue of
Harrisburg, the representative of the class of 1924. Miss
Shue received the mantle and pledged the best efforts of her
class to carry on, the important tasks left to them .
She

TH E NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

11

spoke of the splendid spirit of co-operation which resulted
in the accomplishment of so many important things by the
graduating class.
Georgia Krall of Shippensburg, traced the history of
the class since it entered the school. She compared the
class to an army whose battles she portrayed in a series of
panoramic pictures ending with the final triumph of the
class over all its enemies. Miss Krall delivered her his­
tory in a convincing and interesting manner.
The Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1923 was
read by Carolyn Cox of Juniata. This number lent a de­
lightful humor to the program. Many excellent attributes
o f the members of the graduating class were willed to the
Juniors and under classmen. Miss Cox showed clearly her
ability both as a clever writer and as an able speaker.
Anna M. Smith of Mechanicsburg, who has entered so
largely into all the musical activities of the school during
the past two years, was the composer of the class song.
Miss Smith also led her class in the singing of this farewell
greeting.
The last number of the program was the Ivy Oration
which was delivered by Bozidar N . Grba of Woodlawn. He
compared the opportunities offered to students at the Nor­
mal School to seeds which will germinate and ripen into
deeds. The young men and women of our schools must
wake the world from its self satisfied slumber and set no­
ble examples.
At the) conclusion of Mr. Grba’s address the class Ivy
was planted near the Training School.
Alumni Day Program
With the concert band leading, the Alumni procession
moved promptly across the campus at 1:30. Nearly every
class was represented in this, the most spectacular event of
the Commencement season. The classes of ’93, ’13, ’21 and
’22 were represented by large delegations. Class banners,
pennants and other class regalia were in evidence and the
procession soon became a medley of color and sound as
class songs and yells mingled as the procession moved on
its way. At 2:30 the reunion classes took their places on
the speakers platform and President G. Will Henry of Penbrook, delivered a short but most timely address.
Dr.
Lehman, ’89, Principal of the school, spoke briefly, welcom­
ing the Alumni and recounting the remarkable progress of
the institution during the last ten years. All joined in sing-

TH E NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
ing “Alma Mater”, after which Hon. Quinn T . Mickey, ’83,
of Shippensburg, Dr. George Leslie Omwake, ’93, President
of Ursinus College, L . D. Crunkleton, ’03, of New Cumber­
land, R a y 'R . Stouffer, ’13 of Hagerstown, M d., and Garth
H. Kelley, ’21 of Bowmansdale, delivered short, spicy and
entertaining addresses.
The executive committee made the following nomina­
tions: P res., Dr. H. H. Shenk, ’94, Harrisburg; Vice Pres.,
Supt. Ralph Jacoby, ’04, Carlisle; S ecy ., Mrs. Myrtle May­
berry Stough, ’07, Shippensburg; Treas., Hon. Quinn T .,
Mickey, ’83, Shippensburg. The nominees were elected
unanimously.
The report of the Treasurer showed that the Alumni
Fund was increased by contributions amounting to almost
six hundred dollars during the past year. Mr. T . J . Mc­
Clelland, of Ardmore, made a report indicating the activities
of the Metropolitan Alumni Association. During the past
year this association has provided for two scholarships and
is planning to give five more. The members of the class of
’93 under the leadership of Mr. Oscar Little of Concord, at
once pledged a scholarship in memory of Prof. J . W .
Hughes. The class of 1923 was then admitted to member­
ship in the Association.
The next event of the afternoon was the annual base­
ball game between the Normal Varsity and the Alumni.,
Though the Alumni team was made up of some of the crack
players who attended Normal during the past ten years, the
superior team work of the varsity team told heavily in its
favor and enabled it to win by a score of 8-1 .
A large crowd gathered at 6:30 for the Step Singing
and Concert. For one hour the band, orchestra and choral
associations furnished a fine musical program.
The Alumni play Rostand’s “Romancers” followed.;
This witty but elusive play was well acted by Nesbit
Stralry as Percinet, William Hudson' as Straforel, Wilson
Dodd as Bergamin, J . Roy Kriner as Pasquinot, Philippis
Mosescu as Blaise and Jean Ferguson as Slyvette.
George Kauffman, Russell Coover, Webster Lehman
and Mary Good played the part of the accomplices. The
play bore testimony to the careful coaching of Miss Parks
of the English Department.
The Alumni Dance and Reception was the closing
event of “A Perfect Day”.
The gymnasium was most
beautifully decorated under the direction of Prof. Shearer.

Commencement Day
The long line of 180 graduates marching down the aisle
of the chapel for the last time was an impressive sight.. All
occupied seats on the rostrum.
The auditorium was filled to overflowing with the
friends of the graduates. After music by the orchestra,
Rev. R . S . Bowers of Memorial Lutheran Church offered
a fervent prayer invoking the blessing of God upon those
who were about to take their places in the world of action.,
Anna Smith of Mechanicsburg, gave a fine interpretation
of Grieg’s composition “To Spring.” Mary P . Goodyear of
Carlisle, read her first hour essay on “Famous Friendships.”
Friendships are among the most delightful things in life..
They are also as Plato says, evidences of men’s greatness.,
History proves this fact by the friendships of Damon and
Pythias, David and Jonathan, Cicero and Atticus, Schiller
and Goethe, Tennyson and Hallam, Garfield and Hopkins
and many others. Miss Goodyear was first honor student.,
Kathryn Wilson of Altoona, gave a reading as one of
the two third honor students. She chose “A Few Bars in
the Key of G .” A young N§w Yorker separated from his
wife, buried himself on an outlying ranch. The mystery
of a postal card message and his blocked efforts to reach
New York by first train form a highly artistic and dramatic
story.
The orchestra again rendered a selection after which
Miss Ruth Goodyear, Carlisle, a sister of the first honor
student, presented her essay, “Dr. Grenfell, Empire Builder,”
She developed the theme that Dr. Grenfell in his work on
the Labrador coast is as truly an empire builder as was
Alexander or Cecil Rhodes. He is buillding his empire,
however, not on conquest nor gold, but on justice, mercy
and reverence.
Miss Florence Davis of Harrisburg who shared third
honors with Miss Kathhryn Wilson, gave a reading “Tricks
vs Trick.” She presented in clear and vivid manner the
humorous situations growing out of the stealing of the
clothes of an enthusiastic Yale boatman at the time of a
Harvard-Yale boat race and the shifting of trick against
trick to a climactic final.
A pleasing selection was rendered by Misses Neusbaum,
Davis, Aurandt, Smith, Steele, and Messrs Maclay and
Snyder.

TH E NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

Dr. Lehman then delivered his address “A Diploma or
an Education.”
Members of the Graduating Class:
tlemen :

Ladies and Gen­

Several weeks ago while thinking of a suitable theme
on which to address you at this time1, I chanced upon an
article by Dean Russell of Teachers’ College, Columbia Uni­
versity in which the following statement is made:
“No two pupils get the same reaction, mental or spirit­
ual from any school exercise. One boy may pick his way
laboriously through Caesar’s Commentaries, and return just
enough to earn a passing mark at the end of the term; an­
other doing apparently the same task may be leading an
imaginary Roman legion in a conquest of the world. The
one is working for a diploma, the other is getting an educa­
tion.”
In a moment I knew that Dean Russell had given me
the catch words that I needed on which to hang the ideas
that had been struggling for utterances during the past
months. “A Diploma or an Education?”
Far be it from me, my friends, to suggest that there is
any necessary antagonism between a diploma and an edu­
cation. The one should certainly be the symbol of the
other, but on the other hand an experience of more than
thirty years in the school room convinces me that there is
no certainty of a harmonious relationship between a diploma
and education; that the difference of emphasis may be so
marked in the attitude of the school, the student, and the
public, that there may be actual antagonism between a di­
ploma and an education.
A diploma is a sign manual that a course of study has
been completed to the satisfaction of the school authorities.
It is sought by the student as a bit of concrete testimony
that he has accomplished a certain task. School authori­
ties have recognized its psychological value and have
awarded it at different steps in school progress.
It is bestowed on graduation from the Grammar or Jun­
ior High School, from the Senior High School, from the
Normal School or College, at the completion of the work for
the Master’s or Doctor’s degree. Technical schools bestow
it just as freely on competition of a course within their
walls. Hence, it has come to be the great desideratum in

TH E NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

IS

school life. It is the magic key that turns all locks; the
open sesame to all closed doors.
This is the golden age in attendance for all schools.,
High Schools are crowded to their doors; few communities
have been able to anticipate and provide adequately for the
demand for secondary education. As a result academies
and preparatory schools profit by the tremendous demand
for instruction in secondary fields: a demand that has al­
most doubled during the past five years. Colleges, especial­
ly those for women have been called upon to meet the ris­
ing demand for higher education. As a result the larger
and more widely known institutions, such as Bryn Mawr,
Mt. Holyoke, Smith, Vassar, and Wellesley have closed
registration lists for at least five years to come, and for
every opening that will occur there will be twenty-five ap­
plicants. It has been pointed out that the over-flow from
these institutions alone would supply twenty smaller col­
leges with 500 students each. Though the number of col­
leges open to men is much greater than those open to wo­
men, so great has the demand been for admission that no
college no matter how poorly equipped in faculty and en­
dowment it may be, need want for students to fill it to sufiocation.
The colleges have raised in most cases their tuition
fees from 50 to 100 per cent without affecting the number
o f applicants for admission.
This demand for college opportunities has not been
hailed as a favorable omen by all students of social growth..
There have not been wanting those who contend that a col­
lege education should be limited to those who are to enter
the so-called learned professions such as the law, the min­
istry, medicine and teaching. These men and women be­
lieve in a fixed static course in Colleges and Universities
based on a thorough training in language, history, mathe­
matics, science and philosophy. They believe that sec­
ondary schools should therefore train the boys and girls of
high intelligence and promise in branches that will fit into
and prepare for the work that is to be taken in college.,
Much of the work pursued in high school such as manual
art, home economics, music, drawing, commercial branches,
is anathema to them, and they have refused to accept cre­
dentials in these subjects as satisfactory for admissiori to
college.

TH E NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

Even though one may disagree with this group in many
particulars he cannot help commending them for the fixed
purpose that characterizes their plan. They have selected
a definite objective; a broadly (or, if you will) narrowly
cultural course of study supposedly beneficial to those who
are preparing for certain professions; not because it trains
them in the professions, but because it makes, them intel­
lectually acute. The course of studies is to be an intellec­
tual whetstone making the mind keen, able to cut the Gor­
dian knots of life. When a diploma is issued by an insti­
tution dominated by these ideals it represents a definite
type of achievement, or education.
All diplomas should
therefore represent so many hours of languages, science,
mathematics, history and philosophy.
To this scheme of education three-fourths of our wo­
men’s colleges are committed; not because women are ex­
pected necessarily to be wage earners, or to enter learned
professions, but because it gives the student a training as
a gentlewoman; makes her refined and gracious in learning;
fits her therefore for a position as wife and mother. If she
wishes to enter a learned profession she must do as men
have done in the past, enter a professional school and spend
three, four or five additional years in specific preparation
for her chosen work.
No one will deny that our colleges with these ideals
have rendered a distinct service and are still doing much
good. But our recognition of this fact must not bind us to
the fact that their course of study is archaic and mediaeval,
rather than modern and scientific.
It is based on the exploded theory of general culture,~
the theory that training in one subject can be transferred to
another subject, that mastery in Latin or Mathematics will
give increased ability in diagnosing the symtoms of scarlet
fever, or settling a mooted legal point.
Secondly, it ignores the great economic,—the industrial
changes that have taken place in the last twenty-five years.
While it graciously accords to its women students the
¡right to rule as queens in the nations households, it fails to
recognize that for thousands of these there will be no par­
asitic life, no courtiers will stand about to do their bidding
or to shield their faces from the rough winds of heaven
that will visit them betimes and all too rudely. Instead, in
the changed industrial life a graduate of these colleges
will be expected to pull a good stiff economic oar in the
household boat. She must know foods and food values,

TH E NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

17

know how to buy to best advantage, how to cook; she must
understand principles of sanitation in the household and be
able to deal intelligently with the problems of dress, and
care and nature of children. As a citizen casting a vote
she must understand the principles of taxation, of the pro­
cesses of government, and of the organization of society.
By all means let progressive far seeing women arrange,
for the instruction of the women of the land, in these and
other matters, but let us frankly admit that the schools and
colleges have failed to give this necessary vital training to
their students.
On the other hand there have not been wanting those
who would cut from the course of study in High School and
Colleges everything that does not directly contribute to­
ward bread winning in the immediate future. They would
eliminate three-fourths of ancient and mediaeval history,
two-thirds of the mathematics, one-half the Ancient lan­
guages; they would cut out the reading of old time English
classics and substitute modern poetry and_ prose. They
would add household arts, physical education, vocational
work, sociology and economics, with more of art and music.
The advocates of this curriculum have captured a large
majority of our high schools. They are storming the gates;
of our colleges, and they have compelled a compromise in
the courses of more than three-fourths of men’s colleges.
State colleges have been captured bodily. They have^ taken
only a few of the women’s colleges but the conflict is still
raging and signs are not wanting that some of these institu­
tions will ere long surrender.
Shall we hail the triumph of the modern spirit in ed­
ucation as something to be fervently longed for; as the com­
ing of the golden age? Well, there is much to recommend
it. It recognizes changed social and industrial conditions,
it give's opportunity for vocational guidance, for specializa­
tion and consequent gain of several years of valuable time.
When one of the- largest manufacturing establishments in
America gives three years credit to those who enter its
shops after completing an industrial course in the high
school of the city, there is a definite economic advantage to
the student that even the dullest citizen can apprehend.
When cooperative courses are established in high school
and college whereby the student becomes a wage earner
while continuing his course, the public hails education as
practical. We might continue to multiply instances to show

18

TH E NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

that such systems tie up definitely with the financial needs
of a community.
But shall we then endorse this educational project whole
hearte'dly and unreservedly? Let us hear the objection to
it. “It is,” says its critics, “a system of training in skills
dealing with the doing of certain things. A diploma grant­
ed under such conditions means one thing for one person,
and quite a different thing for another. It is not the duty
or even the privilege of the public to provide special
training for wage earners. All that the public oan be asked
to do is to give basic instructions in fundamentals on which
special training may be based later in life. It is vicious
and morally wrong to ask the public to pay for this special-,
ized training.”
These and other arguments are urged
against the modern trend in education.
Members of the Graduating Class: I have not forgotten,
you while speaking to the public assembled here or those
who may read these words on the printed page. You are
vitally interested in the conflict that has been joined be­
tween two opposing ideas and ideals in education. You will
be called upon to pass judgment upon the issue involved.
You are soon to receive certificates indicting that you have
completed the course of study established by the State of
Pennsylvania for its Normal Schools. What does this doc­
ument mean when translated into terms of education. It
declares that you are qualified to teach in the publis schools
including in many cases both Junior and Senior High.
Schools. It assumes that you are qualified scholastically,,
professionally and morally for this service. You will all.
receive a diploma from the state conferring with slight,
variation the same privileges. And yet how wide is the
variation among you as individuals! Your scholastic train­
ing has varied so greatly that it is hard to establish a com­
mon standard. Some of you have been trained and well
equipped in large city high schools, by high salaried teach­
ers, while others; have done your academic work in small secondrgrade country high schools where one or two inade­
quately paid instructors taught you in four or five branches.
You have taken courses varying in content from the old
type culture group, through the commercial branches to the
purely vocational subjects. The Normal Schools of Penn­
sylvania, my friends, are very liberal in their interpretation
of a high school education, accepting as they do fifteen units
of work in either academic, commercial or vocational sub­
jects. We have assumed that this preparation, varied as it

TH E NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

19

is in individual cases is nevertheless sufficient, if well done,
as a foundation on which to build two or three years of pro­
fessional study.
The old times conservative college may well stand
aghast at this attempt on the part of the normal schools to
give work of collegiate grade to students whose preparation
has been as varied as yous. On the other hand many of
our younger and progressive colleges and universities _hail
this action as the dawn of better things in the educational
world.
Members of the Graduating Class, as your Principal
and friend I shall say frankly to you that I am still in a
receptive attitude toward our courses of study and their
entrance requirements.
Has your preliminary training been broad enough to
enable you to profit fully from the professional studies
that have made up your course during the past two years?
Did your previous training function in helping you to meet
the new problems of your course? Did it “fit into” the
work of the training school, into tests and measurements,
into the technique of teaching?
I have sought to examine the records of those of you
who have stood forth as the honor students, to ascertain
whether your rank is due to the schools whence you came,
the courses in which you were instructed, to native ability,
to a high I. Q., or to all of these. Here the results are not
definite. Students from city and country high schools,
from academic and commercial courses, crowd _each other
for class honors. It is true that graduates of certain schools
stand out because of the prevailingly high rank of a majority
of its graduates, while other schools have a large represen­
tation in the lower third.
But the line of cleavage is
not clearly indicated.
Is it possible to learn anything definite from this
seemingly inconclusive survey of students of various types
of preparation? Well, there are at least_ a few negative
conclusions apparent. Efficiency in teaching doe's not de­
pend upon the type of school or the course taken, nor_ does
it depend primarily upon scholastic attainment, désirable
as that may be. It seems rather to depend upon the ability
of the student to correlate! the subject matter of the different
branches studied and apply it to the présent day situations.
The student who has been content with the mastery of text­
books who has never challenged the assertions of the printed
page may pass examinations with high grades but he will

20

TH E NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

fail to meet the demands of an age that respects nothing
merely because it is venerable and puts every theory of re­
ligion, law and social life to the test. There are those who
lament that our age has fallen on evil ways. They say that
our young people are intolerant of restraint, pleasure lov­
ing, irresponsible, lacking ability .to concentrate on the task
that must be done. While there are few of us who do not at
times lament the waywardness of youth, we need only read
the Jeremiads of the past to realize that the sins of youth
have been the favorite theme of the fathers, mothers,
preachers, writers and teachers of every age. As I turn to
the weeping prophets of the past, I wonder how it was pos­
sible that so many of us who were young in those days es­
caped physical and spiritual shipwreck.
My young friends, I am not so deeply concerned with
your failure to live up to the standards that your elders
have set up for you as I am in knowing whether you will
be able to interpret life as it will soon present itself to
you. I am not primarily concerned in knowing whether
your preliminary training has been in Latin, Mathematics,
History and Physical Science, or in Modern Language,
English, Social and Biological Science or in Commercial or
Vocational subjects, but I am very much concerned in
knowing whether the courses you took have opened new
possibilities to you. Has your preliminary training led
you to desire to master and rise your mother tongue so that
you can speak clearly and convincingly on the problems
that will confront your respective communities. Has the
mathematical training that you have had whether in Alge­
bra, Geometry or Composite Mathematics given you the abil­
ity to grasp and apply mathematical truths to every day
problems ? As a result of your historical studies can you deal
more liberally with those who hold different opinions from
your own? Do you understand the industrial development of
the nation and its effect upon the home life of our peo­
ple? Has the time you spent in science given you a better
insight into the big problems of every day life, sanitation,
hygiene, food, shelter and clothing? If so, you have been
well educated whatever your course may have been.
You have spent two, three, or four years in this insti­
tution, endeavoring to find a norm or standard that will fît
you for your work.
What will your diploma mean to you? The old time
teacher taught mathematics, grammar, history and other
branches to children; you must teach children so that they

TH E NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

21

will be good and useful citizens, fitted to any sphere of
life. Have you the imagination and judgment necessary
to put yourself in the place of the child and to see things
from his standpoint? the judgment necessary to enable
you to so adapt the work of the school room to the future
needs of the child that he will find himself ready to grap­
ple with every difficulty that besets his path? If so, you
are well educated for the work of teaching.
.You will carry with you a diploma giving you: the
privilege of teaching in the Public Schools of the Common­
wealth. What signifies teaching? Is it hearing lessons,
conducting class- drills, keeping order, recording attendance
and grades? Yes, but these are but the externals,— details
necessary for the real work that you must do. You must
help boys and girls to find their larger selves through the
subjects of the curriculum. That is teaching: all else is
imitation,—If
you are a real teacher of English,
your pupils will find your work so inviting and in­
teresting that they will read the books that you
have read because they find themselves in the lar­
ger life that you are unfolding to them. Are you a
teacher of science? Your pupils will want to know more of
your subject than you can teach them, they will push ahead
into the unexplored regions whose vistas you have opened
to them. Are you a teacher of history? then those who
are in your classes will be students of life, they will read
newspapers and magazines that they may know life bet­
ter. But why continue the challenge? The same princi­
ple applies to mathematics, language, art, music,—in fact
to every phase of instruction. You carry the same di­
ploma, but some of you will go into districts and (at once
identify yourselves with the life of the community, with
church and Sunday School, with Civic Club, with Parent
Teacher Association, with every movement that makes for
the betterment of the community. You will grow contin­
uously. Others will be content with the minimum require­
ment of service, you will ask whether it is nominated in
the bond, you will give six or seven hours of the twentyfour to your work and you will wonder why you are not
appreciated by the communities in which you teach.
Members of the Class of 1923, you are the largest class
that has ever left these halls. I congratulate you on the
fact that you have within your ranks some of the finest
spirits that have been enrolled in this institution. It is
a personal regret that I have not had the pleasure of meetinf, you in the classroom and learning to know you as only

22

TH E NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

a teacher can know his students, but I have been permitted
to watch your onward march as one called upon to review
a battalion. I have not failed to be impressed with the
evidence of leadership that has been shown in your ranks.
There are outstanding characters; fine musicians, writers of
promise, ¡athletes who have won their spurs _ and,—still
more important, young men and women who in the hour
of trial rang true and showed that they have the strength
of character necessary for leadership. But what if there
be numbers of those whose work be felt chiefly in the home
and the local community? "they are needed there, and I
believe that their presence will make life sweeter and hap­
pier for all whom they touch.
You go forth to duty: to a world that needs your ser­
vice . The challenge to an institution such as this, is :
“Send forth the best ye breed.” We shall be judged by
what you are and do. Is the Cumberland Valley State
Normal School efficient? Is its faculty made up of men
¡gnd women of culture, of strong personality, of scholarship,
of character.
You must answer that question.
The
strength of our faculty will be found in every school in
which you teach; and,—would that it were not so— every
false note or jarring chord in our lives will be found repeat­
ed in yours.
It is thus that you are of us. We shall watch you
from the vantage ground of age. When we gaze upon the
conflict and note that some one has done a heroic deed—
a deed that tests manhood and womanhood to the core,—
our purses will bound to discover that that someone
wears the red and blue of the old school.
Young men and women: my last message to you as stu­
dents of this school is this: Stick to your ideas, don'tgive
up no matter how discouraging the work may be at times.
The real test of your manhood and womanhood will come
when instructors and counsellors are no longer with you to
advise you, when no supervisor asks you for lesson plans,,
when no dean is at hand to require attention to hours of
preparation and study. The decisive battle will be fought
when you are alone in some country school, in the room in
the town or city in which you will live next yeaiv When
you must decide between the preparation ,and outlining of
your days tasks, the duty of coming into your school room
on the morrow, alert, clear-eyed, or the opportunity for so­
cial enjoyment, between the rights of the children in your
school and your personal desires: then I pray that the

TH E NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

23

Ideals of your alma mater, the best that has been given
you here may be a determining force in your counsels with
yourself and that you may place service above self. Thir­
ty-four years ago your speaker stood where you now stand.
On the morning of his graduation he received a note from
the secretary of a school board notifying him that another
teacher had been elected to a position he had hoped to re­
ceive. It was a cruel body blow for he couldn’t understand
how any board of directors could be so obtuse [as to pass a
young man with his ability and promise by in favor of an­
other. But a month later he most reluctantly signed a con­
tract to teach a country ungraded school distant from his
home at the princely salary of $33.00 a month. Meeting
the Principal of the normal school some time af­
terward I said .to him.
“Yes, I ’ll have to take
it, but I ’ll give them thirty-three dollars worth of
teaching.” I shall never forget Professor McCrearys's
pained expression as he .said, “My boy: if that’s
the way you feel about it don’t go there. Don’t cheat
the children in that way. Go there, forget your salary,
give them the best that is in you, make yourself indispen­
sable to them.” Those words rang in my ears as a rebuke.
I did go there, under the challenge of the counsel of the
man I loved. I did give them the best that was in me. I
never worked so hard as I did in that country school be­
cause I was under the compulsion of the mightiest force
that can control a man or woman, the ideal of service. In
that country school that year was determined whether I
should be a teacher or whether I should drift along aim­
lessly and finally seek a living in some other calling.
And so today I pass on the message given to me thirtyfour years ago. “Give them the best that is in you”,—yes,
a message given to the world nineteen centuries, ago by the
Teacher of teachers. “He who would be great among you
let him be your servant.” ,
“A Diploma or an Education?” May your diplomas,
whatever preliminary training they represent, be the symbol
of socialized, vitalized instruction, the education of service.
Men and .Women of the Class of 1923 : you go forth to
be the guardians of liberty, the conservators of home and
fireside, and the heralds of that new and still better day
dreamed of by prophets and sung by poet.

ALUMNI PERSONALS
’77 Lillie G. Moore (Wilson) is living at Heber,
California. One of her sons is a missionary in Tabriz,
Persia, and the other one is taking vocational training for
journalism at the University of Oregon. He was wounded
and twice gassed in France during the war.
‘81 Miss Lina Piper of Newville is one of our grad­
uates who has quite ,a record both educationally and polit­
ically. After her graduation in 1881 she taught for 39
years. She was the first woman called to serve on the
Republican Committee in her voting district. She
cal­
led on Grand Jury service in February 1921 ¡and made re­
cord clerk of that body. Miss Piper drives her own auto­
mobile and never misses coming to normal on Alumni Day.
The Herald wishes to add also that Miss Piper never lets
her subscription run out for the Herald. The Normal
School is justly proud of the record of Miss Piper and hopes
she may have many years of useful work ahead of her.
’83. Another old graduate of 40 years ago, is Mr. S.,
E . Harkins of Blain, Pa. Mr. Harkins taught for thirtyone years then farmed for 13 years. He is now living re­
tired at Blain. His son is a minister at State College and
his daughter is a nurse being graduated from the Harris­
burg Hospital. The HERALD extends best wishes to Mr.,
Harkins for many more years of active service.

Dear Dr. Lehman:
That’s real radio stuff you got off in that letter ad­
dressed to my dear friend which I received about a month
ago. When I read it I said the old boy is just as full of
beans as ever:—I can hear him saying it.
A 60 piece orchestra, a choral society and a band!
(I almost wrote the names of these in capital letters) and
then there are Heiges, Stewart and Miss Horton still on the
job. That sounds good to old fellows hoping to get back
some day (I hope to get around about 6 years from date.)
837 students at one time! . (Its nothing but exclamation
points for me) where do you put them? There must be
some new buildings I have never seen or heard of. Hope you
got the 600 all year fellows.
I have joined our local Alumni Association. We have

TH E NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

a perfect record—100 per-cent of all the Alumni in Borneo
belong. Is there any country, state or county that can
equal that?
I have now been 24 years in the Far E ast:—4 years
in Penang and 20 years in Borneo. We went a long way
out but are fast coming back when we first came, we were
somtimes five weeks without mail then it came by a round
about way. Now we have direct boats from Singapore
every 10 days or less. Singapore is five weeks from N.
by the mail line and we are one week from Singapore.
We started in with out a foot of cleared land, now we have
about 20000 acres under cultivation. We are putting in
water works and electric lights. The Govt, has erected a
wireless station about 100 yards from our house, I am man­
ager in charge. We often “listen in” on concerts. If you
want to call me up my signal is V . Q. V . Hows that foi
Borneo? When you get your radio we are ready to listen

interested in the pulic school movement in Philadelphia
We are indebted to Mrs. Hippensteel for many personals
which appear in the Herald from time to time. She always
keeps up-to-date on normal affairs by coming to normal
on Alumni Day and keeping up her Herald subscription.

ter of Garwood, N. J . gave us information that I am sure
will interest the Herald readers. Her oldest daughter
Gwendolyn has had a perfect school attendance record for
three years. She is planning to be a teacher. Her son
Phil has been absent only once in three years. He is plan­
ning to be a Civil Engineer. She said the schools of Gar­
wood are splendid. They have no high school but pupils
are sent to the high school at Westfield, N. J . Mrs. Shus­
ter expected to be present at her class reunion but on account
of illness in the home was not able to be here. She

been conducting a normal school of five girls and eight boys.
He writes further that real conscientious teachers are needed
very badly. The national schools are very bad. He says
their school is the first one to try co-ed, began two years
ago as an experiment. As a result the boys and girls are
as well if not better behaved than in many of the schools
at home. He likes his work and his wife is college nurse
so they are both kept very busy. The past summer which
is our winter was spent in Chili visiting national schools of
all kinds. He sent us his Herald subscrpition so that he
may keep up with normal events even though he is far from
