AN ANNOUNCEMENT
Last year it was found that the Sock and Buskin Club
had grown so large that its original purpose— dramatic
study— had become impossible to carry out in practice.
Some change of plan therefore seemed advisable to make
the dramatic work function more actively in the lives of
the students. With the sanction of the alumni on the fac
ulty, and with the co-operation of both literary societies,
an interesting experiment is being tried out.
Each society has a dramatic committee, appointed for
a semester. In their respective societies these committees,
with the aid of the department of English, have charge of
all plays presented at society meetings. The committees
obtain valuable coaching and executive experience; they
select players with an idea of discovering and developing
new talent; they aim continually to raise the society stand
ards of appreciation, plays, and acting.
Some worthwhile one-act plays of national fame have
been presented, such as: "The Pills in a Bottle,” from the
Harvard 47 Workshop plays; “ W hy the Chimes Rang;”
"Joint Owners in Spain;” Stuart Walker’s “ Nevertheless;”
Yeats’s “ The Hour-Glass.”
Since this plan is in an experimental stage at present,
no final announcement can be made. It is hoped that the
scope of the plan will be broadened and continued progress
will be assured.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
PRINCIPAL’S LETTER TO THE ALUMNI
Dear Friends:
This number of the Herald will be given over to the
Summer School, and to the Department of Health. Much
to our regret it was not possible to publish in the January
number all the articles furnished by the teachers connected
with this department. The responses from many of the
readers of the Herald attested the interest felt in health
education, and impressed us with the desirability of publish
ing everything that had been prepared. We accordingly
publish these contributions in this number of the Herald.
Our work has gone on uneventfully, and, happily unin
terruptedly. Just at present a .number of students are out
of their classes suffering from la grippe which has become
an epidemic in many sections. Fortunately, at this writ
ing all of those who are in the infirmary are recovering
rapidly. A number of our faculty suffered from attacks of
this malady, but nearly all have returned to their class
rooms.
For the first time in thirty years we shall not have a
spring session. The extension of the minimum school year
to eight months makes it impossible for us to find sufficient
time for a spring term ¿ession. W e have, therefore, decid
ed to concentrate all our energies on the summer session
which opens June 18 and continues for nine weeks. A
definite outline of the various courses is given in the follow
ing pages. Our purpose is to give any teacher or prospec
tive teacher the opportunity needed for any type of certifi
cate. Not only will these courses be valuable to the
teacher who wishes to secure a partial or a State Standard
Certificate, but to those who wish to complete the Normal
School course, and to those of you who wish to add special
branches to your certificate or diploma, or who aim at the
completion of the three-year course for Junior and Senior
High-School teachers.
I need not remind those of you who have been here
that our school is most fortunately located for a summer
session.. Its elevation, its wide halls, its campus,— all con
tribute to make it as pleasant as a summer hotel. The
summer school staff of teachers that we have assembled
will be the best we have ever had. A glance at the courses
already announced will prove our statement. Besides these
courses others will be offered as need arises. We invite
you to come back and spend the summer with us. If you
cannot come yourself, you can unhesitatingly recommend
THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
S
the course to your friends. If you expect to come we ad
vise early registration as students are registering at the
rate of from five to ten a day at this writing.
Everything is ready to go on with the improvements
and renovations in the Main Building that we have planned.
All the specifications have been drawn and the contract
will be let we hope in the near future. Gov. Pinchot has
requested all Normal Schools to defer making any changes
or improvements until he has had opportunity to pass upon
their needs. When the changes and improvements are
made we shall have a thoroughly modernized school plant.
Finally, don’t forget Alumni Day, Tuesday, June 12.
W e are glad to learn that nearly all the five and ten-year
classes are planning a big turn-out on that day. Let every
one come and live over those old days. W e will all be bet
ter for being boys and girls again for at least one happy
care-free day.
Fraternally yours,
E ZRA LEHMAN, ’89,
CLASS REUNIONS ON ALUMNI DAY
We are glad to learn that nearly all of the five and ten
year classes expect to have big reunions this year. Sever
al of the class presidents have informed us that commit
tees have been appointed and that all preparations are be
ing made. The school authorities are very anxious to help
along with these reunions. Miss Horton will be glad to
furnish up-to-date class lists to any class committees who
may desire them.
The following class rooms have been assigned to the
various classes for their exclusive use, during commence
ment wook. W e shall be glad to have committees from the
classes bring pennants/ bunting in class colors, etc., and
decorate the rooms fittingly. The rooms will be available
for this purpose any time during Monday, June 11.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
Of course we want all alumni and former students to
come whether they have an official reunion. Come back
and meet old time friends and make new ones.
NEW MEMBERS OF THE FACULTY FOR SECOND
SEMESTER
Increase in attendance and the readjustment of the
program to meet the requirements of the three year course
in the Junior High School group made necessary the em
ployment of two additional members of the faculty at the
beginning of the second semester.
Fortunately, we were able to secure finely equipped
teachers for these positions.
Miss Nora Kieffer was selected to take charge of the
classes in the teaching of Arithmetic, and to assist in the
Department of Psychology. Miss Kieffer is well qualified
for this work. She is a graduate of the Millersburg High
School, Millersville Normal School, and of Columbia Uni
versity. She holds the degree of B. S. in Education and
A . M. in Mathematics from the last named institution.
She has had a wide experience as a teacher.
After teaching for three years in a one-teacher rural
school in Dauphin County, she was elected a teacher of
mathematics in the Huntingdon High School.
The next
two years were spent as teacher of mathematics in the
Mount Hermon Preparatory School for Boys, at Mt. Hermon, Mass. She continued her career as a teacher of the
same subject in the Camden, New Jersey, High School.
She has also had invaluable training as Assistant Financial
Secretary of the National Lutheran Council in New York
City.
Prof. L . E . Smith, who has served as Extension Di
rector, was available this semester for teaching, and will
assist in the High School and Pedagogical Departments.
He will continue to direct the extension activities of the
school, but as this work has been well organized he is avail
able for teaching purposes.
Prof. Smith is so well and widely known that little need
be said relative to his work. He was educated in the Public
Schools of Franklin County, at the Welsh Run Academy, and
was graduated from the Shippensburg State Normal School
with a state certificate in 1902. He then entered Juniata
College School of Education and received the degree of M.
E. Later he spent a year at Cornell University. He was
THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
principal of the Greencastle High School when he was elect
ed Superintendent of Franklin Co., and served fourteen
years in that position.
During his incumbency the schools of the county de
veloped rapidly, and the county stands first among tike
counties of the state in the consolidation of schools effected
during his term of office.
Miss Gladys G. Morris of Bloomsburg has been elected
Secretary to the Principal to take the place made vacant by
the resignation of Miss Edna Pearson.
Miss Morris received her training in the public schools
o f Columbia County, was graduated from the Bloomsburg
High School in the Secretarial Course, and the Tulloss
School. She has taken extensive work at the Peirce Busi
ness College.
She was previously employed in the offices of the
Magee Carpet Co., of Bloomsburg, Pa., and acted as Secre
tary to Prin. W . W . Raker of the Bloomsburg High School.
She is filling this position being highly recommended
not only by the directors of the schools from which she re
ceived her education, but by the people under whom she
was previously employed.
Miss Beulah Ankerbrand who filled the secretarial po
sition for several months has been made Assistant' to the
Bursar.
THE CAMPUS REFLECTOR
The students of the school have shown most comme*dable initiative and spirit by beginning the publication of a
weekly school paper, “ The Campus Reflector.” The first
number of this new journal appeared on Friday, February
9th. It is a four-page paper brim full of school news and
well edited. This weekly is, we believe, the first of its
class to be published by any Normal School in Pennsylva
nia.
THE SUMMER SESSION— JUNE 18 TO AUGUST 18
All attendance records for summer sessions will be
broken this year at our school. At this writing students
are registering at the rate of from five to ten every day.
W e are planning to make the large body of students just
as comfortable as they can possibly be made for we want
the school to be homelike in every respect. W e believe no
institution is more pleasantly situated for summer work
8
THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
than the Shippensburg Normal School. Its elevation makes
it cool and pleasant on the hottest day of mid-summer;
the wide halls, the verandas of the main building, and the
open court and alcoves of the girls’ dormitory suggest a
summer hotel rather than a school. The Cumberland Val
ley is always a beautiful region, but it is never quite so
beautiful as in mid-summer when the mountains stand out
in clear relief. The campus slopes gradually to the town
and is suited to out-of-door community sings, vesper servi
ces under the trees, and social gatherings in the early even
ing.
Expenses
The expenses of the summer session are very reason
able. They are as follows:
Registration:— Term fee, including admission to
games, lectures, concerts, entertainments, etc. $ 10.00
(In the case of boarding students, this fee must
be paid when a room is engaged. Day stu
dents must make payment on or before the
opening day of the session).
Boarding, including furnished room, light and
laundry, (with nurse’s services when neces
sary) is six dollars per week; for term..............

Boarding at Normal
“ How is it possible to supply good boarding, furnished
room, light and laundry at $6.00 a w eek?” is often asked
us. Our answer is that by using care in buying in large
quantities when prices are low; by raising vegetables on
our school farm, and by avoiding waste we are able to set
an excellent table for our students.
The following menus for two weeks taken at random
will bear out our statements.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ASKED BY PROSPECTIVE
STUDENTS
W e shall try to anticipate some of the many questions
that students^ are likely to ask about the summer session.
1. "Is it necessary for me to come to the school be
fore June 18?” Ans. “ N o; if you leave home on the morn
ing of that day, you will arrive in time. The first day will
be given up to assigning students to class. Class work will
begin Tuesday morning, June 1 9 .”
„
What articles should I bring with m e?” Ans.
Bring window curtains (if you wish them), bureau cov
ers, cushions, towels, table napkins, and toilet articles.
Your room is supplied with a bed, bedding, bureau, desk,
light fixtures, and wash stand.”
3-<( "W ill my baggage be delivered at the school?"
Ans. “ If your trunk or suit case is checked and plainly
marked with your name and room number, it will be deliv
ered free of cost on the opening day of school. Those com
ing after the opening day will be required to pay twentyfive cents for the delivery o f each piece of baggage. ”
4.
"I am a graduate of a four-year high school. Can
I receive enough credits to enable me to teach next year?”
Ans. “ Yes, you will be permitted to carry four branches
from the approved list (see page 12). If you pass three
of these you will receive a partial certificate entitling you
to teach next year at a minimum salary of $85.00 a month
under the terms of the Edmonds A c t .”
TH E NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
12
5. “ Will it be possible for a student who does not
have 15 high school units to receive a certificate to teach
next year?” Ans. “ The regulations require graduation from
a four year high school or its equivalent of those who have
not taught before July 1, 1922. However, when it is not
possible for a district to secure enough teachers having the
qualifications indicated above, the board may elect a teacher
without such qualifications and on the request of the coun
ty superintendent, a partial certificate will be issued to one
who lacks high school training, but who has taken the re
quired professional work at a normal school. (A number of
counties in this normal school district could not secure
enough new teachers with adequate high school training
last year. Partial Certificates were issued to students who
did not have high school training, but who had completed
the summer course satisfactorily).
6 . “ Can I do any work during the summer school that
will give me high school credits?”' Ans. “ Yes. Because
of the number of mature men and women who have not had
high school opportunities we shall give a limited amount of
high school work during the summer session. Those who
have taught in the public schools may carry two high
school subjects in addition to the work needed for a partial
certificate; those who have not taught may carry but one in
addition to the required professional w ork .”
7. “ Can I receive credit for teaching done during
1922-1923?” Ans. "You will be given four semester hours
credit for every year of teaching, for which you received a
satisfactory rating, toward the completion of a state stand
ard certificate. No credit however, can be given toward the
completion of a high school course or toward a normal cer
tificate for teaching done after July 1, 1922.”
8 . “ W ill special courses be given during the summer
session?” Ans. "Yes, a large variety of special and advan
ced courses will be given. (See pages . . . . ) .
CURRICULA OF SUMMER SESSION
For students who expect to teach for the first time in
I923-
Introduction to Teaching (required) six hours each week,
three semester hours credit.
Public School Music, Art, or Health Education (one re
quired) six hours each week— three semester hours credit.
Students must elect one of the following, and may
elect two.
THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
13
Child Psychology— 6 hours each week— 3 semester
hours credit.
Teaching of Reading— 6 hours each week— 3 semester
hours credit.
Teaching of English— 6 hours each week— 3 semester
hours credit.
Teaching of Mathematics— 6 hours each week— 3 sem
ester hours credit.
Teaching of Geography— 6 hours each week— 3 semes
ter hours credit.
Teaching of Social Science (History )— 6 hours each
week— 3 semester hours credit.
Students in this group will be given frequent opportuni
ties to witness demonstration teaching in the Training
School. Discussion of the lesson taught will follow.
Students who have taken either a nine weeks spring or
summer course (or both) at a normal school will supplement
the work previously taken by electing Public School Music,
Art of Health Education, omitting subject or subjects previ
ously passed. They will be privileged to elect any three
other courses, including School Efficiency listed above. All
the work done at a State Normal School or other institu
tion of similar grade may be credited toward the completion
o f the normal school course.
Courses for State Standard Certificate
Teachers in service who desire to secure a State Stand
ard Certificate, will be given the opportunity to carry twelve
semester hours toward the completion o f the required 70
•semester hours. Such teachers may elect any professional
course not previously taken. W e strongly advise that'Pub
lic School Music, Art or Health Education be included in the
group selected.
Courses for State Normal School Certificate
Teachers holding State Standard or Partial Certificates
who wish to complete the Normal School course are advised
that they may be admitted to such courses and given advan
ced credit under the following conditions:
#1. Completion of, a four year high school course or its
equivalent covering 15 units.
Teachers lacking high
school training may offer five years (four will be accepted,
if two have been on a Professional Certificate) of successful
teaching as an equivalent for a four year high school course.
Where a partial or two, or three year high school course
has been taken, credit will be given toward the completion
14
THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
of the course at the rate of three units for each year’s teach
ing.
(Such credits apply only to teaching done prior to
July 1, 1922).
2. After the high school requirements have been met,
teachers may receive a credit of four semester hours for each
year of successful teaching, but in no case will more than 32
semester hours of credit be given for teaching. (No credit
will be given for teaching done after July 1, 1922). Teach
ers desiring credit for teaching, will consult Dean J. S.
Heiges, relative to the studies to be taken for the completion
of the normal course. This cannot well be arranged in ad
vance as a personal interview is usually necessary. These
matters are best arranged after the student has enrolled,
and amounting to twenty or more semester hours are advis
ed to select either the Primary-Kindergarten, the Interme
diate, or the Rural Group. The completion of the three
year Junior High Group involves the mastery of High
School subjects and a study of advanced work in at least
two fields. Students who have completed a standard high
school course may be able to qualify for the course, but not
more than one semester of credit for public school teaching
can be given in this group.
Courses for Normal School Graduates
Graduates of the two year course who wish to qualify
for Junior High or Senior High School courses are advised;
to note that the following courses will be given (an outline
of these courses will be found on p a g e .......... ) .
College Algebra— Z oology.
Trigonometry— World Geography.
Advanced English— A dv. European History.
Administration or Supervision— Tests and Measure
ments.
ADVANCED COURSES
The following special courses will be given if there is
a sufficient demand for them. Students who desire to take
any of these courses are advised to communicate with the
principal as soon as possible, so arrangements can be made
for the courses.
THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
15
EDUCATION
Psychology of Childhood.— The intellectual, emotional
volitional, moral, and religious growth.and development of
children are studied to prepare the student for a scientific
approach to and treatment of children.
Educational Psychology.— Such principles and laws
which have been formulated in the study of psychology
which have a bearing upon the learning and the teaching
processes are studied to improve the technique of the teafcher. This course presupposes an elemntary course in psy
chology .
Elementary Course in Educational Measurements.— A
study of the measurement of schoolroom products by means
of standardized tests and scales. The simplest and most
widely-known tests are studied and applied, papers are
scored, results are interpreted, and uses determined. Given
if sufficient demand is made, Fee, $1.00 to cover cost of
material used by the student.
Advanced Course in Measurements.— A study of) meth
ods used to determine intelligence with scoring of papers,
interpretation of scores, and complete tabulation of results;
devising of necessary tests from scales now in use. Ad
ministration of tests in school subjects with training in mak
ing diagnosis of situations revealed. Fee, $2.00 to cover
cost of material used by the student.
School Supervision and Administration
The time is not far distant when progressive townships
and small boroughs will require the services of a supervisor
or "visiting teacher” to help with the work of the schools.
Many of our graduates are elected to principalships which
involve supervisory and administrative duties. They re
port to us their need of help in this field.
To meet this need we shall offer a course in Supervision
and Administration. W e especially commend this to Nor
mal School graduates who are preparing for or holding
principalships or other supervisory positions.
ZOOLOGY

Sometime ago the Herald suggested organizing State
Alumni Associations just as the counties are organized. As
you know this is a large state and would be impossible t®
get together. I have been thinking some of a correspond
ing association, that is to get out a letter once a year t®
the alumni of the state asking for items of interest concern
ing themselves and their work and then send back to each
one a mimeograph copy o f important news concerning each
one.
I am not hunting work but will start this off and give
it a trial if you think it a good thing and will send me a
list of those living in New York State.
Sincerely yours,

THE PHILO LITERARY SOCIETY
“ No Excellence without Labor.”
We wish to say to Philo Alumni that our members,
both old and new, are still upholding all the traditions o f
THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
25
the society this year. It is growing and has advanced even
more rapidly than in former years. Each meeting brings
forth new talent and prospective aids to better our pro
grams.
Our debates in Philo this year have been especially in
teresting, well organized, well prepared, and delivered in
a pleasing and satisfactory manner. They have brought
out much of the true ability and working power in our so
ciety. The question for the inter-society and inter-school
debate is: Resolved, "That the United States should enter
the League of Nations.” The debaters are Miss Florence
Davis, Mr. Mitchell Dreese, Miss Helen Miller, and Miss
Peggy Lehman.
To all former members and to those interested in the
literary work of dear old Philo, we bid a most hearty wel
come to come and see us at any time.
— Beula E . Neusbaum, ’23, Secy.
NORMAL LITERARY SOCIETY
The year’s spirit in Normal may be readily summed
up in the words: “ interest and pep. ” This is shown by the
loyalty, co-operation, and interest of ■ the members,
not in the Society work alone, but also in the work con
nected with it. The almost perfect order is due, we be
lieve, to the interesting and instructive programs that are
rendered weekly.
Our programs are not always along
the same line, but are arranged to suit different occasions.
The Glee Club under student direction is especially
large and well organized. The beautiful numbers it has
given us denote careful selection and preparation.
The hearty anticipation with which the members o f
the society await various plays is proof in itself of the
high type and of the excellence of the productions.
One of the program features which shows the ability
and working material of our society is the debates. The
topics are generally issues of the day and prove most in
teresting. The question for the Inter-Society and InterScholastic debate is “ Resolved: That the United States
must enter the League of Nations immediately.” It wilt
be debated affirmatively by Normal. The try-out for de
baters was held January 31. Those who were successful
in becoming our representatives are Misses Ethel Barr,
Caroline Cox and Katherine Wilson, with Mr. Ralph
Heighes as alternate. W e wish our team the best luck and
26
THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
will be with them whether or not they are victorious.
Among our Juniors and Sophomores as well as the Sen
iors we are gradually discovering much talent. Their
manner of giving orations, discussions, and recitations has
been, on the whole, very pleasing.
The “ Normal Gazette” is the society’s weekly paper.
It reveals the week’s happenings, especially those concern
ing the school activities. It also contains discussions and
other material written by the society, The “ Gazette” is
always read or discussed toward the latter part of the pro
gram .
W e heartily welcome old members and anyone inter
ested in the work of dear old Normal to visit at any time.
— Marguerite C . Quinn, ’23, S ecy .
THE ARTS AND CRAFTS CLUB
This club is doing a very splendid type of work this
year. Miss Cox is directing the block-printing, which is
very difficult. Miss Huber is directing the craft work.
Many of the girls have made beautiful baskets and napkin
rings out of raffia. They have also covered vases and
made baskets with tissue paper rope.
Many articles made at the weekly meetings were very
useful and artistic Christmas presents. W e are now mak
ing heads from clay, which, when they are designed, will
Be very pretty.
This club is not so large as it might be but we hope
that next year it will be still larger and do many worth
while things. More than this, we hope that the boys of
next year will show their artistic ability by joining this
club.
i
—'Martha Bert, ’23, Secy.
THE Y. M. C. A.
We believe that a spirit of good fellowship is gradual
ly binding the fellows closer together in their life in the
dormitory. W e believe that the Y . M. C. A . is the best
approach to the religious life of the fellows, and that this
growing spirit of fellowship is due, to a large extent, to
the work of the Y . M. C. A .
The spirit of the fellows is shown in the enthusiastic
manner in which so many participate in the religious work
of the school, as well as of the “ Y ” alone. The nightly
prayer services that are being held, voluntarily, in some of
THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
27
the rooms, are our pride. Much of the degree to which
the new form of government of the dorm is to be a success
depends, we believe, upon what the “ Y ” is accomplishing.
However successful we may feel, we realize that a great
amount of our work yet lies before us and that we need 100
per cent support to put across a banner program.
We
are confident that we will get this support.
— Oran Hays, ’23.

ATHLETICS FOR MEN
Owing to the necessity of having the copy for the
April number of the Herald in the office of the printer when
the basket ball season is about two-thirds completed, no
detailed writeup of the season can be presented with any
degree of satisfaction. However at the hour of writing
this copy, the Normal Varsity holds undisputed first place
in the Eastern half of the State Normal Athletic League by
virtue of meeting and defeating every team in the two di
visions which were met. If the Varsity is fortunate to re
tain first place an effort will be made to play one game
with the Slippery Rock State Normal five on a neutral
floor to decide the State Normal title for the present sea
son. The Slippery Rock team holds first place in the
Western division.
Altoona being geographically midway
between the two schools and incidentally the home of
Coach Sharadin of the local Normal team, would be am
ideal meeting place for the two teams to meet and decide
the question of supremacy.
The team this season is one of the best balanced com
binations, having both weight and height combined with
teamwork. This was very marked in the Inter-Normal
contests where the speed of the locals bewildered the op
ponents both on defense and offense.
On the forward
stations, Capt. Hays, Craig, Heiges and Smith were the
lads to uphold the colors of the school. On the pivot sta
tion, Grba and Sterner alternated while Jones, Heiges,
Grba and Wert took turns at guard.
Heiges was the
strong man on the fifteen-foot mark with his accurate scor
ing throughout the season.
Credit for the remarkable form of the Varsity is due
the Reserve squad which set a pace seldom equalled im
scholastic ranks for a Junior team, winning eighteen con
secutive victories before defeat was tasted and this defeat
was due to disciplinary penalties inflicted upon three o f the
30
THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
squad members who broke club rules which automatically
dismissed them from the squad. Until this break happen
ed the Reserves had annexed 18 consecutive victories in the
season and a half under the guidance of the present direc
tor. Several games remain to be played before the season
ends.
BASEBALL OUTLOOK
Throughout the Spring term, attention is focused on
the baseball squad.
This season the outlook seems as
bright for another rousing team which must step some to
equal the record established last Spring when C. V . won
the Eastern division title with a perfect record, thanks to
the masterly pitching of Mellott and Shull, and Capt. Hoerner’s remarkable work on the receiving end. Mellot and
Hoerner are not with us this Spring, but Coach Sharadin
has a squad of twelve battery candidates working out daily
in the g ym . since February 19th who are showing signs
of having the goods to deliver when the time arrives.
Among the pitchers in training are Shull, Harbaugh, Miller,
Ulsh, Jones and Shuler, with Southpaws Roddy and Wal
ters. Capt. Hays heads the list on the receiving end with
Sell, Mann and Mountz assisting. Two weeks of prelimin
ary work was done by this squad before the other candi
dates for the infield and outfield were called for their ini
tial workout. With the playing field being considerably
changed for this season, including a grass infield, fans are
eagerly awaiting the first home game of the season.
A schedule of twenty-five contests has been arranged
for the squad with the leading Preparatory, Normal and
College teams in the Valley including several with the Blue
Ridge League teams. The splendid exhibition against the
Chambersburg League team last Spring put the Normal
team in the good grace of a number of College teams which
are on the schedule this year. The following schedule has
been arranged for the Varsity.

FREE EXERCISES
(These articles should have appeared in the January
number of the Herald, but were omitted for lack of space)..
The Relative Value of Free Exercises in the Physical
Training Program.
Let it be understood, at the Outset, that free exercises
and setting-up drills are one and the same thing. It is my
purpose to compare the value which was placed upon this
phase of the Physical Training program twenty-five or
THE. NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
32
more years ago, with the value that is placed upon this part
of the schedule today. In conclusion, I shall give three
model lessons in free exercise, outlined according to the
system of Dr. C. Ward Crampton.
You must acknowledge that in the past, a large major
ity of people, whenever Physical Training was mentioned,
began to fling their arms forward, sideward or upward. In
other words, this was their only idea of Physical Training.
Can you believe that some members of the profession were
possessed of this same idea? Yes it was true, for many
schools having Physical Training as part of their curriculm,
executed daily these very movements and never introduced
Folk Dancing or Games into their program.
Today, the situation is quite different. We are hearing
more and more of the recreational side and some authorities
go so far as to say that this phase should constitute our en
tire system of Physical Training. Is this attitude a correct
one or has the pendulum swung to the other extreme
la
all probability, it has. What we should strive to obtain is
the happy medium.
Let us stop a moment to weigh values. Every Physical
Training program must include three elements; nutritive,
stimulation, psychologic control, and the corrective element.
All of these may be found in free exercises, but only the
first two are included in the majority o f recreational activi
ties. Use this suggestion as a guide; Divide a forty-five
minute as follow s: marching and skipping or running, tea
minutes, free exercises ten minutes, folk dancing games or
athletics for the remaining twenty-five minutes.

PLAY AND EDUCATION
The value of play as an integral part of an educational
system is beginning to receive some measure of the recog
nition that it hasi not had since Greek civilization was at its
height. Theoretically, we all accept the Greek idea of an
educational system that shall concern itself equally with
the physical, mental, and moral welfare of the individual.;
Practically in this country we have ignored the physical,
given less and less attention yearly to the moral, and con
centrated on the mental.
The inevitable results of such a system are already
manifested in America, in a generation of high-strung ner-
34
THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
vous people excelling in scientific genius and commercial
shrewdness, but lacking in physical v ig o r .'
It is a matter of history with which all are familiar
that, while all her people deemed it an honor to struggle for
the laurel leaf, Greece led the world and set a stand for all
time in art, science, and literature. The degeneracy of
Greece came to pass with the degrading o f athletics into
mere professional contests. Greek education first built up
the body. Their physical training system was a perfectly
balanced one, calculated to give HEALTH, STRENGTH,
and GRACE. To accomplish this they made use of athle
tics, apparatus work, dancing, and to a very large degree of
plays and games.
While there is much to be said of the value of play in
the development of mental power, alertness, rapid thinking,
quick decisions are necessary in a good game. There is
still more to be said for the moral value o f it. When there
is selfishness and dishonesty, play cannot continue. The
child who cheats becomes an outcast. The rules of clean
sport are the precepts of right living. How many of the
phrases we use to designate honest dealing comes from
games, as "fair play,” a "square deal,” etc.
To give dares, and to take risks, to strive with all his
might to win a goal develop a boy’s will power, and at
the same time the restraint that he must exert not to play
out his turn, not to start before the signal, and not to take
an unfair advantage of his opponent, must needs develop
self-control.
But the chief benefit to be derived from play, important
as is its value mentally and morally, is in its value as physi
cal training. A game that brings into play all the muscles
of the body, without the player being conscious that he is
developing his muscles, is the ideal form of exercise.

THE INFIRMARY
The Department of Public Instruction provided for the
opening of the Infirmary at the Normal School in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, on September 19, 1921, for the
benefit of its faculty and students requiring medical and
nursing attention.
A visiting physician was appointed and a graduate
registered nurse was placed in charge.
The physician
has a daily office hour and students are allowed to come t»
the infirmary at that time. Other cases of illness or acci
dent occurring at any time, are brought to the attention of
the nurse, who gives the necessary care and^ attention, and
communicates with the doctor at once for instruction and
advice.
Students are urged to go to the infirmary when they
are indisposed and not remain in their rooms in the dor
m itory. Boarding students who are compelled to be out of
38
THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
school on account of illness, are furnished with an excuse
when leaving the infirmary. Day students, on returning
to school after illness, are asked to present a note from
their attending physician and the nurse issues them an ex
cuse for absence from class. Counsel and advice in mat
ters pertaining to health are gladly given.

of 250 children in the Training School, and supervised the
pupil teachers in weighing and measuring the children, and
kcfP mg their weights recorded on class room charts. The
children were very eager to know what they had gained
in weight from month to month and there was keen competition among them to see who could gain the most. Any
child who was as much as 10 per cent below the normal

health habits, such as his hours of rest, exercise, in open

I On invitation of Miss Hannah Kieffer, the Normal
bchools Rural Director, similar work was done in four of
the rural schools. A delightful surprise came at the Commencement exercises, when announcement was made of a
gift of one hundred dollars for the infirmary from the
Class of 1921. W e take this means of expressing our

AN ANNOUNCEMENT
Last year it was found that the Sock and Buskin Club
had grown so large that its original purpose— dramatic
study— had become impossible to carry out in practice.
Some change of plan therefore seemed advisable to make
the dramatic work function more actively in the lives of
the students. With the sanction of the alumni on the fac
ulty, and with the co-operation of both literary societies,
an interesting experiment is being tried out.
Each society has a dramatic committee, appointed for
a semester. In their respective societies these committees,
with the aid of the department of English, have charge of
all plays presented at society meetings. The committees
obtain valuable coaching and executive experience; they
select players with an idea of discovering and developing
new talent; they aim continually to raise the society stand
ards of appreciation, plays, and acting.
Some worthwhile one-act plays of national fame have
been presented, such as: "The Pills in a Bottle,” from the
Harvard 47 Workshop plays; “ W hy the Chimes Rang;”
"Joint Owners in Spain;” Stuart Walker’s “ Nevertheless;”
Yeats’s “ The Hour-Glass.”
Since this plan is in an experimental stage at present,
no final announcement can be made. It is hoped that the
scope of the plan will be broadened and continued progress
will be assured.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
PRINCIPAL’S LETTER TO THE ALUMNI
Dear Friends:
This number of the Herald will be given over to the
Summer School, and to the Department of Health. Much
to our regret it was not possible to publish in the January
number all the articles furnished by the teachers connected
with this department. The responses from many of the
readers of the Herald attested the interest felt in health
education, and impressed us with the desirability of publish
ing everything that had been prepared. We accordingly
publish these contributions in this number of the Herald.
Our work has gone on uneventfully, and, happily unin
terruptedly. Just at present a .number of students are out
of their classes suffering from la grippe which has become
an epidemic in many sections. Fortunately, at this writ
ing all of those who are in the infirmary are recovering
rapidly. A number of our faculty suffered from attacks of
this malady, but nearly all have returned to their class
rooms.
For the first time in thirty years we shall not have a
spring session. The extension of the minimum school year
to eight months makes it impossible for us to find sufficient
time for a spring term ¿ession. W e have, therefore, decid
ed to concentrate all our energies on the summer session
which opens June 18 and continues for nine weeks. A
definite outline of the various courses is given in the follow
ing pages. Our purpose is to give any teacher or prospec
tive teacher the opportunity needed for any type of certifi
cate. Not only will these courses be valuable to the
teacher who wishes to secure a partial or a State Standard
Certificate, but to those who wish to complete the Normal
School course, and to those of you who wish to add special
branches to your certificate or diploma, or who aim at the
completion of the three-year course for Junior and Senior
High-School teachers.
I need not remind those of you who have been here
that our school is most fortunately located for a summer
session.. Its elevation, its wide halls, its campus,— all con
tribute to make it as pleasant as a summer hotel. The
summer school staff of teachers that we have assembled
will be the best we have ever had. A glance at the courses
already announced will prove our statement. Besides these
courses others will be offered as need arises. We invite
you to come back and spend the summer with us. If you
cannot come yourself, you can unhesitatingly recommend
THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
S
the course to your friends. If you expect to come we ad
vise early registration as students are registering at the
rate of from five to ten a day at this writing.
Everything is ready to go on with the improvements
and renovations in the Main Building that we have planned.
All the specifications have been drawn and the contract
will be let we hope in the near future. Gov. Pinchot has
requested all Normal Schools to defer making any changes
or improvements until he has had opportunity to pass upon
their needs. When the changes and improvements are
made we shall have a thoroughly modernized school plant.
Finally, don’t forget Alumni Day, Tuesday, June 12.
W e are glad to learn that nearly all the five and ten-year
classes are planning a big turn-out on that day. Let every
one come and live over those old days. W e will all be bet
ter for being boys and girls again for at least one happy
care-free day.
Fraternally yours,
E ZRA LEHMAN, ’89,
CLASS REUNIONS ON ALUMNI DAY
We are glad to learn that nearly all of the five and ten
year classes expect to have big reunions this year. Sever
al of the class presidents have informed us that commit
tees have been appointed and that all preparations are be
ing made. The school authorities are very anxious to help
along with these reunions. Miss Horton will be glad to
furnish up-to-date class lists to any class committees who
may desire them.
The following class rooms have been assigned to the
various classes for their exclusive use, during commence
ment wook. W e shall be glad to have committees from the
classes bring pennants/ bunting in class colors, etc., and
decorate the rooms fittingly. The rooms will be available
for this purpose any time during Monday, June 11.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
Of course we want all alumni and former students to
come whether they have an official reunion. Come back
and meet old time friends and make new ones.
NEW MEMBERS OF THE FACULTY FOR SECOND
SEMESTER
Increase in attendance and the readjustment of the
program to meet the requirements of the three year course
in the Junior High School group made necessary the em
ployment of two additional members of the faculty at the
beginning of the second semester.
Fortunately, we were able to secure finely equipped
teachers for these positions.
Miss Nora Kieffer was selected to take charge of the
classes in the teaching of Arithmetic, and to assist in the
Department of Psychology. Miss Kieffer is well qualified
for this work. She is a graduate of the Millersburg High
School, Millersville Normal School, and of Columbia Uni
versity. She holds the degree of B. S. in Education and
A . M. in Mathematics from the last named institution.
She has had a wide experience as a teacher.
After teaching for three years in a one-teacher rural
school in Dauphin County, she was elected a teacher of
mathematics in the Huntingdon High School.
The next
two years were spent as teacher of mathematics in the
Mount Hermon Preparatory School for Boys, at Mt. Hermon, Mass. She continued her career as a teacher of the
same subject in the Camden, New Jersey, High School.
She has also had invaluable training as Assistant Financial
Secretary of the National Lutheran Council in New York
City.
Prof. L . E . Smith, who has served as Extension Di
rector, was available this semester for teaching, and will
assist in the High School and Pedagogical Departments.
He will continue to direct the extension activities of the
school, but as this work has been well organized he is avail
able for teaching purposes.
Prof. Smith is so well and widely known that little need
be said relative to his work. He was educated in the Public
Schools of Franklin County, at the Welsh Run Academy, and
was graduated from the Shippensburg State Normal School
with a state certificate in 1902. He then entered Juniata
College School of Education and received the degree of M.
E. Later he spent a year at Cornell University. He was
THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
principal of the Greencastle High School when he was elect
ed Superintendent of Franklin Co., and served fourteen
years in that position.
During his incumbency the schools of the county de
veloped rapidly, and the county stands first among tike
counties of the state in the consolidation of schools effected
during his term of office.
Miss Gladys G. Morris of Bloomsburg has been elected
Secretary to the Principal to take the place made vacant by
the resignation of Miss Edna Pearson.
Miss Morris received her training in the public schools
o f Columbia County, was graduated from the Bloomsburg
High School in the Secretarial Course, and the Tulloss
School. She has taken extensive work at the Peirce Busi
ness College.
She was previously employed in the offices of the
Magee Carpet Co., of Bloomsburg, Pa., and acted as Secre
tary to Prin. W . W . Raker of the Bloomsburg High School.
She is filling this position being highly recommended
not only by the directors of the schools from which she re
ceived her education, but by the people under whom she
was previously employed.
Miss Beulah Ankerbrand who filled the secretarial po
sition for several months has been made Assistant' to the
Bursar.
THE CAMPUS REFLECTOR
The students of the school have shown most comme*dable initiative and spirit by beginning the publication of a
weekly school paper, “ The Campus Reflector.” The first
number of this new journal appeared on Friday, February
9th. It is a four-page paper brim full of school news and
well edited. This weekly is, we believe, the first of its
class to be published by any Normal School in Pennsylva
nia.
THE SUMMER SESSION— JUNE 18 TO AUGUST 18
All attendance records for summer sessions will be
broken this year at our school. At this writing students
are registering at the rate of from five to ten every day.
W e are planning to make the large body of students just
as comfortable as they can possibly be made for we want
the school to be homelike in every respect. W e believe no
institution is more pleasantly situated for summer work
8
THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
than the Shippensburg Normal School. Its elevation makes
it cool and pleasant on the hottest day of mid-summer;
the wide halls, the verandas of the main building, and the
open court and alcoves of the girls’ dormitory suggest a
summer hotel rather than a school. The Cumberland Val
ley is always a beautiful region, but it is never quite so
beautiful as in mid-summer when the mountains stand out
in clear relief. The campus slopes gradually to the town
and is suited to out-of-door community sings, vesper servi
ces under the trees, and social gatherings in the early even
ing.
Expenses
The expenses of the summer session are very reason
able. They are as follows:
Registration:— Term fee, including admission to
games, lectures, concerts, entertainments, etc. $ 10.00
(In the case of boarding students, this fee must
be paid when a room is engaged. Day stu
dents must make payment on or before the
opening day of the session).
Boarding, including furnished room, light and
laundry, (with nurse’s services when neces
sary) is six dollars per week; for term..............

Boarding at Normal
“ How is it possible to supply good boarding, furnished
room, light and laundry at $6.00 a w eek?” is often asked
us. Our answer is that by using care in buying in large
quantities when prices are low; by raising vegetables on
our school farm, and by avoiding waste we are able to set
an excellent table for our students.
The following menus for two weeks taken at random
will bear out our statements.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ASKED BY PROSPECTIVE
STUDENTS
W e shall try to anticipate some of the many questions
that students^ are likely to ask about the summer session.
1. "Is it necessary for me to come to the school be
fore June 18?” Ans. “ N o; if you leave home on the morn
ing of that day, you will arrive in time. The first day will
be given up to assigning students to class. Class work will
begin Tuesday morning, June 1 9 .”
„
What articles should I bring with m e?” Ans.
Bring window curtains (if you wish them), bureau cov
ers, cushions, towels, table napkins, and toilet articles.
Your room is supplied with a bed, bedding, bureau, desk,
light fixtures, and wash stand.”
3-<( "W ill my baggage be delivered at the school?"
Ans. “ If your trunk or suit case is checked and plainly
marked with your name and room number, it will be deliv
ered free of cost on the opening day of school. Those com
ing after the opening day will be required to pay twentyfive cents for the delivery o f each piece of baggage. ”
4.
"I am a graduate of a four-year high school. Can
I receive enough credits to enable me to teach next year?”
Ans. “ Yes, you will be permitted to carry four branches
from the approved list (see page 12). If you pass three
of these you will receive a partial certificate entitling you
to teach next year at a minimum salary of $85.00 a month
under the terms of the Edmonds A c t .”
TH E NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
12
5. “ Will it be possible for a student who does not
have 15 high school units to receive a certificate to teach
next year?” Ans. “ The regulations require graduation from
a four year high school or its equivalent of those who have
not taught before July 1, 1922. However, when it is not
possible for a district to secure enough teachers having the
qualifications indicated above, the board may elect a teacher
without such qualifications and on the request of the coun
ty superintendent, a partial certificate will be issued to one
who lacks high school training, but who has taken the re
quired professional work at a normal school. (A number of
counties in this normal school district could not secure
enough new teachers with adequate high school training
last year. Partial Certificates were issued to students who
did not have high school training, but who had completed
the summer course satisfactorily).
6 . “ Can I do any work during the summer school that
will give me high school credits?”' Ans. “ Yes. Because
of the number of mature men and women who have not had
high school opportunities we shall give a limited amount of
high school work during the summer session. Those who
have taught in the public schools may carry two high
school subjects in addition to the work needed for a partial
certificate; those who have not taught may carry but one in
addition to the required professional w ork .”
7. “ Can I receive credit for teaching done during
1922-1923?” Ans. "You will be given four semester hours
credit for every year of teaching, for which you received a
satisfactory rating, toward the completion of a state stand
ard certificate. No credit however, can be given toward the
completion of a high school course or toward a normal cer
tificate for teaching done after July 1, 1922.”
8 . “ W ill special courses be given during the summer
session?” Ans. "Yes, a large variety of special and advan
ced courses will be given. (See pages . . . . ) .
CURRICULA OF SUMMER SESSION
For students who expect to teach for the first time in
I923-
Introduction to Teaching (required) six hours each week,
three semester hours credit.
Public School Music, Art, or Health Education (one re
quired) six hours each week— three semester hours credit.
Students must elect one of the following, and may
elect two.
THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
13
Child Psychology— 6 hours each week— 3 semester
hours credit.
Teaching of Reading— 6 hours each week— 3 semester
hours credit.
Teaching of English— 6 hours each week— 3 semester
hours credit.
Teaching of Mathematics— 6 hours each week— 3 sem
ester hours credit.
Teaching of Geography— 6 hours each week— 3 semes
ter hours credit.
Teaching of Social Science (History )— 6 hours each
week— 3 semester hours credit.
Students in this group will be given frequent opportuni
ties to witness demonstration teaching in the Training
School. Discussion of the lesson taught will follow.
Students who have taken either a nine weeks spring or
summer course (or both) at a normal school will supplement
the work previously taken by electing Public School Music,
Art of Health Education, omitting subject or subjects previ
ously passed. They will be privileged to elect any three
other courses, including School Efficiency listed above. All
the work done at a State Normal School or other institu
tion of similar grade may be credited toward the completion
o f the normal school course.
Courses for State Standard Certificate
Teachers in service who desire to secure a State Stand
ard Certificate, will be given the opportunity to carry twelve
semester hours toward the completion o f the required 70
•semester hours. Such teachers may elect any professional
course not previously taken. W e strongly advise that'Pub
lic School Music, Art or Health Education be included in the
group selected.
Courses for State Normal School Certificate
Teachers holding State Standard or Partial Certificates
who wish to complete the Normal School course are advised
that they may be admitted to such courses and given advan
ced credit under the following conditions:
#1. Completion of, a four year high school course or its
equivalent covering 15 units.
Teachers lacking high
school training may offer five years (four will be accepted,
if two have been on a Professional Certificate) of successful
teaching as an equivalent for a four year high school course.
Where a partial or two, or three year high school course
has been taken, credit will be given toward the completion
14
THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
of the course at the rate of three units for each year’s teach
ing.
(Such credits apply only to teaching done prior to
July 1, 1922).
2. After the high school requirements have been met,
teachers may receive a credit of four semester hours for each
year of successful teaching, but in no case will more than 32
semester hours of credit be given for teaching. (No credit
will be given for teaching done after July 1, 1922). Teach
ers desiring credit for teaching, will consult Dean J. S.
Heiges, relative to the studies to be taken for the completion
of the normal course. This cannot well be arranged in ad
vance as a personal interview is usually necessary. These
matters are best arranged after the student has enrolled,
and amounting to twenty or more semester hours are advis
ed to select either the Primary-Kindergarten, the Interme
diate, or the Rural Group. The completion of the three
year Junior High Group involves the mastery of High
School subjects and a study of advanced work in at least
two fields. Students who have completed a standard high
school course may be able to qualify for the course, but not
more than one semester of credit for public school teaching
can be given in this group.
Courses for Normal School Graduates
Graduates of the two year course who wish to qualify
for Junior High or Senior High School courses are advised;
to note that the following courses will be given (an outline
of these courses will be found on p a g e .......... ) .
College Algebra— Z oology.
Trigonometry— World Geography.
Advanced English— A dv. European History.
Administration or Supervision— Tests and Measure
ments.
ADVANCED COURSES
The following special courses will be given if there is
a sufficient demand for them. Students who desire to take
any of these courses are advised to communicate with the
principal as soon as possible, so arrangements can be made
for the courses.

and small boroughs will require the services of a supervisor
or "visiting teacher” to help with the work of the schools.
Many of our graduates are elected to principalships which
involve supervisory and administrative duties. They re
port to us their need of help in this field.
To meet this need we shall offer a course in Supervision
and Administration. W e especially commend this to Nor
mal School graduates who are preparing for or holding
principalships or other supervisory positions.

Sometime ago the Herald suggested organizing State
Alumni Associations just as the counties are organized. As
you know this is a large state and would be impossible t®
get together. I have been thinking some of a correspond
ing association, that is to get out a letter once a year t®
the alumni of the state asking for items of interest concern
ing themselves and their work and then send back to each
one a mimeograph copy o f important news concerning each
one.
I am not hunting work but will start this off and give
it a trial if you think it a good thing and will send me a
list of those living in New York State.
Sincerely yours,

THE PHILO LITERARY SOCIETY
“ No Excellence without Labor.”
We wish to say to Philo Alumni that our members,
both old and new, are still upholding all the traditions o f
THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
25
the society this year. It is growing and has advanced even
more rapidly than in former years. Each meeting brings
forth new talent and prospective aids to better our pro
grams.
Our debates in Philo this year have been especially in
teresting, well organized, well prepared, and delivered in
a pleasing and satisfactory manner. They have brought
out much of the true ability and working power in our so
ciety. The question for the inter-society and inter-school
debate is: Resolved, "That the United States should enter
the League of Nations.” The debaters are Miss Florence
Davis, Mr. Mitchell Dreese, Miss Helen Miller, and Miss
Peggy Lehman.
To all former members and to those interested in the
literary work of dear old Philo, we bid a most hearty wel
come to come and see us at any time.
— Beula E . Neusbaum, ’23, Secy.
NORMAL LITERARY SOCIETY
The year’s spirit in Normal may be readily summed
up in the words: “ interest and pep. ” This is shown by the
loyalty, co-operation, and interest of ■ the members,
not in the Society work alone, but also in the work con
nected with it. The almost perfect order is due, we be
lieve, to the interesting and instructive programs that are
rendered weekly.
Our programs are not always along
the same line, but are arranged to suit different occasions.
The Glee Club under student direction is especially
large and well organized. The beautiful numbers it has
given us denote careful selection and preparation.
The hearty anticipation with which the members o f
the society await various plays is proof in itself of the
high type and of the excellence of the productions.
One of the program features which shows the ability
and working material of our society is the debates. The
topics are generally issues of the day and prove most in
teresting. The question for the Inter-Society and InterScholastic debate is “ Resolved: That the United States
must enter the League of Nations immediately.” It wilt
be debated affirmatively by Normal. The try-out for de
baters was held January 31. Those who were successful
in becoming our representatives are Misses Ethel Barr,
Caroline Cox and Katherine Wilson, with Mr. Ralph
Heighes as alternate. W e wish our team the best luck and
26
THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
will be with them whether or not they are victorious.
Among our Juniors and Sophomores as well as the Sen
iors we are gradually discovering much talent. Their
manner of giving orations, discussions, and recitations has
been, on the whole, very pleasing.
The “ Normal Gazette” is the society’s weekly paper.
It reveals the week’s happenings, especially those concern
ing the school activities. It also contains discussions and
other material written by the society, The “ Gazette” is
always read or discussed toward the latter part of the pro
gram .
W e heartily welcome old members and anyone inter
ested in the work of dear old Normal to visit at any time.
— Marguerite C . Quinn, ’23, S ecy .
THE ARTS AND CRAFTS CLUB
This club is doing a very splendid type of work this
year. Miss Cox is directing the block-printing, which is
very difficult. Miss Huber is directing the craft work.
Many of the girls have made beautiful baskets and napkin
rings out of raffia. They have also covered vases and
made baskets with tissue paper rope.
Many articles made at the weekly meetings were very
useful and artistic Christmas presents. W e are now mak
ing heads from clay, which, when they are designed, will
Be very pretty.
This club is not so large as it might be but we hope
that next year it will be still larger and do many worth
while things. More than this, we hope that the boys of
next year will show their artistic ability by joining this
club.
i
—'Martha Bert, ’23, Secy.
THE Y. M. C. A.
We believe that a spirit of good fellowship is gradual
ly binding the fellows closer together in their life in the
dormitory. W e believe that the Y . M. C. A . is the best
approach to the religious life of the fellows, and that this
growing spirit of fellowship is due, to a large extent, to
the work of the Y . M. C. A .
The spirit of the fellows is shown in the enthusiastic
manner in which so many participate in the religious work
of the school, as well as of the “ Y ” alone. The nightly
prayer services that are being held, voluntarily, in some of
THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
27
the rooms, are our pride. Much of the degree to which
the new form of government of the dorm is to be a success
depends, we believe, upon what the “ Y ” is accomplishing.
However successful we may feel, we realize that a great
amount of our work yet lies before us and that we need 100
per cent support to put across a banner program.
We
are confident that we will get this support.
— Oran Hays, ’23.

ATHLETICS FOR MEN
Owing to the necessity of having the copy for the
April number of the Herald in the office of the printer when
the basket ball season is about two-thirds completed, no
detailed writeup of the season can be presented with any
degree of satisfaction. However at the hour of writing
this copy, the Normal Varsity holds undisputed first place
in the Eastern half of the State Normal Athletic League by
virtue of meeting and defeating every team in the two di
visions which were met. If the Varsity is fortunate to re
tain first place an effort will be made to play one game
with the Slippery Rock State Normal five on a neutral
floor to decide the State Normal title for the present sea
son. The Slippery Rock team holds first place in the
Western division.
Altoona being geographically midway
between the two schools and incidentally the home of
Coach Sharadin of the local Normal team, would be am
ideal meeting place for the two teams to meet and decide
the question of supremacy.
The team this season is one of the best balanced com
binations, having both weight and height combined with
teamwork. This was very marked in the Inter-Normal
contests where the speed of the locals bewildered the op
ponents both on defense and offense.
On the forward
stations, Capt. Hays, Craig, Heiges and Smith were the
lads to uphold the colors of the school. On the pivot sta
tion, Grba and Sterner alternated while Jones, Heiges,
Grba and Wert took turns at guard.
Heiges was the
strong man on the fifteen-foot mark with his accurate scor
ing throughout the season.
Credit for the remarkable form of the Varsity is due
the Reserve squad which set a pace seldom equalled im
scholastic ranks for a Junior team, winning eighteen con
secutive victories before defeat was tasted and this defeat
was due to disciplinary penalties inflicted upon three o f the
30
THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
squad members who broke club rules which automatically
dismissed them from the squad. Until this break happen
ed the Reserves had annexed 18 consecutive victories in the
season and a half under the guidance of the present direc
tor. Several games remain to be played before the season
ends.
BASEBALL OUTLOOK
Throughout the Spring term, attention is focused on
the baseball squad.
This season the outlook seems as
bright for another rousing team which must step some to
equal the record established last Spring when C. V . won
the Eastern division title with a perfect record, thanks to
the masterly pitching of Mellott and Shull, and Capt. Hoerner’s remarkable work on the receiving end. Mellot and
Hoerner are not with us this Spring, but Coach Sharadin
has a squad of twelve battery candidates working out daily
in the g ym . since February 19th who are showing signs
of having the goods to deliver when the time arrives.
Among the pitchers in training are Shull, Harbaugh, Miller,
Ulsh, Jones and Shuler, with Southpaws Roddy and Wal
ters. Capt. Hays heads the list on the receiving end with
Sell, Mann and Mountz assisting. Two weeks of prelimin
ary work was done by this squad before the other candi
dates for the infield and outfield were called for their ini
tial workout. With the playing field being considerably
changed for this season, including a grass infield, fans are
eagerly awaiting the first home game of the season.
A schedule of twenty-five contests has been arranged
for the squad with the leading Preparatory, Normal and
College teams in the Valley including several with the Blue
Ridge League teams. The splendid exhibition against the
Chambersburg League team last Spring put the Normal
team in the good grace of a number of College teams which
are on the schedule this year. The following schedule has
been arranged for the Varsity.

FREE EXERCISES
(These articles should have appeared in the January
number of the Herald, but were omitted for lack of space)..
The Relative Value of Free Exercises in the Physical
Training Program.
Let it be understood, at the Outset, that free exercises
and setting-up drills are one and the same thing. It is my
purpose to compare the value which was placed upon this
phase of the Physical Training program twenty-five or
THE. NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
32
more years ago, with the value that is placed upon this part
of the schedule today. In conclusion, I shall give three
model lessons in free exercise, outlined according to the
system of Dr. C. Ward Crampton.
You must acknowledge that in the past, a large major
ity of people, whenever Physical Training was mentioned,
began to fling their arms forward, sideward or upward. In
other words, this was their only idea of Physical Training.
Can you believe that some members of the profession were
possessed of this same idea? Yes it was true, for many
schools having Physical Training as part of their curriculm,
executed daily these very movements and never introduced
Folk Dancing or Games into their program.
Today, the situation is quite different. We are hearing
more and more of the recreational side and some authorities
go so far as to say that this phase should constitute our en
tire system of Physical Training. Is this attitude a correct
one or has the pendulum swung to the other extreme
la
all probability, it has. What we should strive to obtain is
the happy medium.
Let us stop a moment to weigh values. Every Physical
Training program must include three elements; nutritive,
stimulation, psychologic control, and the corrective element.
All of these may be found in free exercises, but only the
first two are included in the majority o f recreational activi
ties. Use this suggestion as a guide; Divide a forty-five
minute as follow s: marching and skipping or running, tea
minutes, free exercises ten minutes, folk dancing games or
athletics for the remaining twenty-five minutes.

PLAY AND EDUCATION
The value of play as an integral part of an educational
system is beginning to receive some measure of the recog
nition that it hasi not had since Greek civilization was at its
height. Theoretically, we all accept the Greek idea of an
educational system that shall concern itself equally with
the physical, mental, and moral welfare of the individual.;
Practically in this country we have ignored the physical,
given less and less attention yearly to the moral, and con
centrated on the mental.
The inevitable results of such a system are already
manifested in America, in a generation of high-strung ner-
34
THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
vous people excelling in scientific genius and commercial
shrewdness, but lacking in physical v ig o r .'
It is a matter of history with which all are familiar
that, while all her people deemed it an honor to struggle for
the laurel leaf, Greece led the world and set a stand for all
time in art, science, and literature. The degeneracy of
Greece came to pass with the degrading o f athletics into
mere professional contests. Greek education first built up
the body. Their physical training system was a perfectly
balanced one, calculated to give HEALTH, STRENGTH,
and GRACE. To accomplish this they made use of athle
tics, apparatus work, dancing, and to a very large degree of
plays and games.
While there is much to be said of the value of play in
the development of mental power, alertness, rapid thinking,
quick decisions are necessary in a good game. There is
still more to be said for the moral value o f it. When there
is selfishness and dishonesty, play cannot continue. The
child who cheats becomes an outcast. The rules of clean
sport are the precepts of right living. How many of the
phrases we use to designate honest dealing comes from
games, as "fair play,” a "square deal,” etc.
To give dares, and to take risks, to strive with all his
might to win a goal develop a boy’s will power, and at
the same time the restraint that he must exert not to play
out his turn, not to start before the signal, and not to take
an unfair advantage of his opponent, must needs develop
self-control.
But the chief benefit to be derived from play, important
as is its value mentally and morally, is in its value as physi
cal training. A game that brings into play all the muscles
of the body, without the player being conscious that he is
developing his muscles, is the ideal form of exercise.

THE INFIRMARY
The Department of Public Instruction provided for the
opening of the Infirmary at the Normal School in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, on September 19, 1921, for the
benefit of its faculty and students requiring medical and
nursing attention.
A visiting physician was appointed and a graduate
registered nurse was placed in charge.
The physician
has a daily office hour and students are allowed to come t»
the infirmary at that time. Other cases of illness or acci
dent occurring at any time, are brought to the attention of
the nurse, who gives the necessary care and^ attention, and
communicates with the doctor at once for instruction and
advice.
Students are urged to go to the infirmary when they
are indisposed and not remain in their rooms in the dor
m itory. Boarding students who are compelled to be out of
38
THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD
school on account of illness, are furnished with an excuse
when leaving the infirmary. Day students, on returning
to school after illness, are asked to present a note from
their attending physician and the nurse issues them an ex
cuse for absence from class. Counsel and advice in mat
ters pertaining to health are gladly given.

of 250 children in the Training School, and supervised the
pupil teachers in weighing and measuring the children, and
kcfP mg their weights recorded on class room charts. The
children were very eager to know what they had gained
in weight from month to month and there was keen competition among them to see who could gain the most. Any
child who was as much as 10 per cent below the normal

health habits, such as his hours of rest, exercise, in open

I On invitation of Miss Hannah Kieffer, the Normal
bchools Rural Director, similar work was done in four of
the rural schools. A delightful surprise came at the Commencement exercises, when announcement was made of a
gift of one hundred dollars for the infirmary from the
Class of 1921. W e take this means of expressing our
