In presenting special numbers of THE HERALD to the
school and alumni, the faculty are endeavoring to give as
extensive service as possible. W e hope that the alumni^ as
well as present students will put into practical application
these up-to-date suggestions and will file the copies as im­
portant reference material. It is only in this way that these
numbers can be used to their fullest extents
PRINCIPAL’S LETTER TO THE ALUMNI
Dear Friends:
School has just closed for the Holiday Season. The old
building seems strangely quiet. The sounds o f cleaners’
footfalls in the corridors only recently crowded with a busy
throng o f students, suggest solitude rather than life. The
few lights that gleam from the windows at night only serve
to emphasize the fact that we have been deserted b y the
more than 600 students and teachers who ordinarily give life
to the grounds and buildings.
But the Christmas spirit is everywhere present. W e
feel the magnetic waves of joy and happiness radiating from
hundreds of homes where our students are now enjoying the
greetings of loved ones. Truly Christmas is a joyous season
and we are all better and happier for its yearly presence.
It was m y pleasant privilege to write a letter to all o f
you pot long agOjj Many of you were kind enough to ac-

knowledge its receipt and to express in many ways your in­
terest in your Alma Mater. It is particularly gratifying to
me to note that many letters contained generous remittances
to the Alumni Fund. Still others told of arrangements tha£
were being made to remember this worthy cause through
both personal and class remittances. I am glad to receive,
these assurances for no phase of our work is nearer to my
heart than the Alumni Fund. I know how many young peo­
ple are being benefited by it at present and m y regret is
that, because of its limitations, not nearly all of those
worthy applicants can share its bounty.
I sincerely trust that as the years go by we may all re­
member this fund. What better contribution can we make
to the memory of some teacher of the old school than to
give a sum of money to the Alumni Fund knowing, that it
will continue from year to- year to help worthy young men
and women secure a good education?
W e have just completed the necessary arrangements
with the state authorities by which it will be possible for us
to make the very necessary and long delayed improvements
in, the Main Building. W e hope to renovate_this building
during the next two years. When we have finished., w e'w ill
have modern up-to-date office?, a dining room and a chapel'
that will be not only useful, but because o f their beauty.-"a
joy forever.” We will make the old building practically fire­
proof. The dormitory rooms will be modernized and pro­
vided with the necessary equipment found in any high-grade
hoard! g school. It will, of course, take considerable time- to
brb'g about S these changes-. The school will be in session
H H the work is done and though this will necessarily delay
the period of its final accomplishment, we hope to go forward
steadily.until everything has been renovated. ,
Elsewhere we call attention to the nine weeks summer
term, which will open June 18th. As previously indicated
it will not be possible for us to have the usual spring term
this year because of the minimum eight months school term.
W e expect to have a very large summer session.- Many of
you may be interested in the opportunity that will be given
graduates of the school to take work leading to the comple­
tion of the three year course. W e shall offer courses in a
variety of subjects that will probably appeal to many of you.
Our courses will also be especially suited to young peo­
ple who have completed the high school course and who
wish to teach next yea r. They can,- secure the work that
they must have for the Partial Certificate. ThiS- work will

aliso be counted toward either the Standard Certificate or to*

(fHE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

ward the completion of the Normal School Course.
W e have already begun the campaign for “ 600 all-ydar
students” next September. W e believe we will have no diffi­
culty in securing this number, but we want your help to make
it possible for us to secure them. It is through the loyal
support of the Alumni that our school increased from 303 stu­
dents in 1912 to 1094 in 1922. This number will probably be
the high water mark for years to come as we found it neces­
sary to help out the state program by taking many more stu­
dents than it was possible for us to accommodate satisfactor­
ily . Our ideal is 600 all-year students and 800 summer stu­
dents. W e can accommodate more in the summer than dur­
ing the all year session since it is possible to have students
room out of the building in the summer.
Finally, let me remind you again of the coming class re­
unions. No part of the year’s work is pleasav.t r to me indi­
vidually than to greet those of you who come back o .i A urn i
D ay. I realize how much joy and happi ;ess there is in a
good old- fashioned class reunion, but in order to make a re­
union what it ought to be, considerable work must be done
in advance. Committees from every class expecting to hold
a reunion should be at work NOW. (W e are glad to note
that the class of 1903 is already at w o rk ). Letters should
be written to the members of the class callirg attention to
the coming reunion on June 12th. Arrangements should be
made with hotels or restaurant keepers in Shippensburg for
banquets. If you have net heard from ycur President, write
to him and make yourself a committee of or.e to see that
your class has a big reunion next June. The school will
help you in every possible way to carry out your plans. Of
course, we want all of you to come back next June whether
your class holds a reunion cr not. Don’t forget the “ Old
School” and set aside Tuesday, June 12th, as the day when
you are coming back to Normal to live over “ the old school
d a y s.”
With best wishes for a most happy New Year, I am,
Fraternally yours,

SUMMER SESSION AT THE SHIPPENSBURG
NORMAL SCHOOL
(June 18— August 18)
. Because of the minimum eight months school term,' it
will not be possible to have a spring term session at Normal
this y e a r as was the case during previous years. The sum-

1

fHB NORMAL SCHOOL HEftALD

lner session, however, will be more largely attended than
ever before. W e expect to make this the very best summer
session in our history. It will open on Monday, June 18th,
and will continue until Saturday, August 18th, thus covering
nine weeks.
While all the courses to be given have not definitely
been arranged at this writing, we know that they will coyer
the same ground as those offered last year.. The following
have been definitely arranged:
Public School Music
Art
Health Education
School Efficiency and Obser­
vation
Introduction to Teaching
Child Psychology

Teaching of Reading
Teaching of English
Teaching of Mathematics
Teaching o f Geography
Teaching o f Social Science
(History)

All o f these courses will be six hours a week and, there­
fore, will carry a credit o f three semester hours. No stu­
dent will be permitted to carry more than four subjects: i. e.,
twelve semester hours.
In addition to the above subjects, we will offer courses
in the following:
Teaching in the Training School under expert supervis­
ion. (Necessarily the number o f students who can be given
the opportunity to do this work is limited; hence all students
desiring to teach in the training school should make early
application for the privilege) ^
Modern Geography.
Social Science (History)
(These are two content courses and are earnestly rec­
ommended to teachers who have had several years ex­
perience in public school work and who wish to specialize
in departmental work. The Geography and History will
be taught in these courses from the new point of view.;
Many teachers realize that the teaching of these two
subjects has undergone great change. In fact the entire
point of view has been changed. It is highly important
that teachers of these subjects specialize in content as
well as in method. W e recommend these courses strong­
ly to all teachers who expect to do departmental work).
School Administration and Supervision.
((W e recommend this course strongly to principals and
to teachers who desire to fit themselves for supervisory

Work. The time is not very distant when there will be
an urgent demand for township supervisors. Our school
will offer this course in supervision to those who wish
to prepare for this large field that will soon be open)
School Tests and Measurements.
(Special opportunity will be given principals and teach­
ers to study not only the theory o f Tests and Measure­
ments, but special opportunity will be given to apply
these to actual school conditions).
Courses will also be offered in the following:
College Algebra
Trigonometry
Advanced English
i
Zoology
Advanced European History
It is our purpose to offer additional courses if there is
a demand for them. Those interested in taking courses not
listed here are advised to write to the Principal at the earli­
est possible moment..
Students who are graduates from second or third grade
high schools will be given the opportunity of taking high
school work either in connection with the pedogogical work
required for a certificate or as separate courses.
The expenses for the term will not be heavy. Free tui­
tion to those preparing for teaching. The registration-term
fee including free admission to lectures, concerts, games, en­
tertainments, etc., is $ 10.00 and must be paid when a room
is engaged. The cost of boarding, including furnished
room, light and laundry is $6.00 a week, or $54.00 for the
term.j
W HERE DO TEACHERS STAN D?
(This article appeared in THE HERALD for April,
1922. It has been so strongly indorsed by Superintendents
and other persons interested in the welfare of the public
schools that we reproduce it with practically no change.,
If the article had any special value a year ago, it should be
doubly valuable now since the Legislature is about to assem­
ble. If we are interested in the public school program, let
us speak in no uncertain tones. W e should write to and still
better talk to our Representatives and Senators. W e should
call the attention of the public to the importance of sustain­
ing the public schools of the state^ W e all recognize the

8

THIS NORMAL SCHOOL HERALÖ

necessity for economy in the administration of state affairs,
but it will be poor economy that sacrifices the interests of
the children of the public schools. Let us earnestly support
the campaign for still better and more efficient schools).
A prominent politician .once said to the writer, “ The rea­
son you teachers have so little influence in politics is because
you don’t stand together for anything. If an educational
measure that really has merit is introduced into the legisla­
ture, you study it to find out whether it increases your sal­
ary— or that cf somebody else. You can’t get together and
support a measure for the good of the cause. You ought to
take a lesson from policeman and fireman or from the “ Scrub
Women’s Association.” The public—and “ the practical politi­
cian” will soon have opportunity to judge whether the state­
ment quoted above is true. Pennsylvania, under the able
leadership of Dr. Finegan, has taken a long step forward
educationally. Salaries of teachers have been materially in­
creased, school terms in country districts lengthened, the
qualifications of teachers raised and measures taken to im­
prove the supervisio r of the teacher’s work and at how little
cost. In 1911, 26.2 cents out of every dollar spent by the
State were used for education, while in 1922, with all the farreaching improvements in our school system, only 26.3 cents
cut c f every dollar appropriated by the State will be requir­
ed.
An attack has been made by the officers c f an influen­
tial State organization upon the school program. The char­
ges have been answered and refuted by Dr. Finegan. But
in spite of these facts, attacks continue to be made upon the
school legislation by persons who are for the most part mis­
informed or whose prejudices have been aroused by those
who have a very visible axe to grind. What is the attitude
of the teachers at a time like this? Are we, standing to­
gether in defense c f the new educational program? The
State Educational Association and the State Directors’ Asso­
ciation endorse it unanimously. Boards of Trade, Chambers
of Commerce, Civic Associations, Parent-Teachers’ Associa­
tions and Mothers’ Clubs all over the State are speaking in
behalf of the better things in Pennsylvania in no uncertain
tones.
But where do you stand, you teachers in the rural dis­
tricts and in the small towns? What are you doing to en­
lighten your directors, your patrons, the community in gen­
eral as to the real value of the educational program just be­
gun? When an attack is made upon the school system, do

you defend it? Don’t you realize that when the school sys­
tem is attacked it is you who will suffer— you and the chil­
dren of your school whose guardian you are? Where will
you stand when men seek election to the legislature? Are
you concerned as to their attitude toward the public schools?
Was the politician right when he said that the reason teach­
ers had so little influence was because they don’t stand to­
gether for anything? Teachers of Pennsylvania will soon
have the opportunity to show whether they do stand for the
greatest educational opportunity that has come to their
State.

THE TEACHING OF HYGIENE
The real aim of education is to make well-rounded phy­
sical, mental, and moral beings. In order to accomplish this,
Health Education should be foremost.
Let us first consider to what extent health was taught
in past years. The child was given a physiology text book
from which he committed paragraphs pertaining to the
structure of muscles, bones, etc. As a result how was the
health of the nation affected? We have but to note the

10

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALO

results o f the draft during the recent war to answer that
question.
“ A physical examination o f approximately six million
young men who were candidates for military service show­
ed that one third were so unfit physically or mentally as
to be practically useless for service, and were rejected,
shows that most of the defects were removable or prevent­
able, if men had had proper care, treatment, and instruc­
tion while attending sch ool.”
These statistics should convince us that our chief aim
should be to diminish the number o f defects b y proper
teaching of health habits, and to use every means to cor­
rect undesirable habits. This can be accomplished, if hy­
giene is taught in the proper manner.
I shall endeavor to discuss briefly along what lines
our training should be directed. It is quite important to
mention a few facts about the eyes.
It is surprising to
notice the number of people who are troubled with defec­
tive vision. Are the teachers noticing these defects in
children and instructing them concerning the conservation
of vision? Are such requirements as proper lighting, the
size of print, the kind of paper in reading books, and on
which pupils write, being considered?
Another important factor is in regard to heating and
ventilation since the health of the child depends on both
to quite an extent. Is there always a sufficient amount of
fresh air in the classroom; and is there any regulation in re­
gard to the temperature o f the classroom?
There are several precautions and habits which the
children should observe to keep free from disease, and help
prevent the spread of disease. The school should make a
great deal of progress in checking diseases by emphasiz­
ing the necessity of cleanliness, good sanitation, as well
as the removal of diseased tonsils and adenoids, from the
view point of good health.
The hygiene or the science of right living should be a
strong point. W e should direct our energies toward help­
ing pupils to realize the value of rest, recreation, proper
food, and the sanitary conditions of home and school so
that the parents may profit by these ideas which are car­
ried out by the children. What a great deal a teacher can
accomplish if he only convinces the pupil of the necessity of
sleeping in fresh air! Too often we find homes where pa­
rents believe that the air at night is unhealthful. Is it
any wonder that some of the children are pale, sickly» and

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

A*

lack endurance? W e must emphasize the value of fresh
air, and the fact that night air is pure as well as the air in
the daytime. The following would make a splendid pos­
ter :
"The only night air that is bad is last night’s air. Get
rid of it by opening the windows.”
It is necessary to get the confidence of the children,
then bring before their minds the importance of health hab­
its
If this is done there will be a much more decided re­
action from the pupils.
The school system may assist in oral hygiene education^ by instruction and practice in the essential of mouth
hygiene. If we could but establish in the children’s minds
the value of keeping the mouth and teeth clean, we would
be taking a great step toward decreasing the amount of
sickness and death. Since contagious diseases, diseased
tonsils, rheumatism, and heart trouble are often caused by
the germs which grow in the cavities of decayed teeth, ,we
ought to convince the children that it is the mouth hygiene
habit that counts for permanent cleanliness, good health,
and future happiness. The emphasis in the classroom in­
struction should be placed upon the practical affairs of daily
life such as methods and times of brushing the teeth, selec­
tion of a tooth brush, tooth paste, the care of the tooth
brush, etc. Each topic should be related to daily practice.
Stories and illustrations from daily life will add a great
deal of interest.
What we should endeavor to do is to establish good
health habits, with emphasis on the acts rather than knowl­
edge. This cannot be done by learning from text books.
It is true that text books are helpful as guides, and refer­
ences from which reports on different phases of health may
be taken; but in our regular teaching we should not lose
sight o f the practical side.
_ Daily morning inspection should follow the opening ex­
ercises in every school. It takes but a short time and yet
what a great deal can be accomplished if this is carried on
properly. Sanitary inspectors may be chosen to assist the
teacher, and an account may be kept concerning hands, fin­
ger nails, teeth, etc. At this time reports on sanitary con­
ditions and cleanliness in and around the building may be
given. Competition is developed, and in what better way
can the plan of health be carried out? Every child is nat­
urally eager to compete. If part of the children are living
up to good standards of health, the others will not be slow

li

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

to follow . Especially will this be true if the work is made
attractive.
_
,
The study of hygiene may be made quite interesting by
correlation with other subjects. This may be done in the
lower grades by singing, games, drawing, reading, and dra­
matization; also by making posters and booklets. In the
upper grades the sanitary conditions of climate, etc., may
be studied in connection with geography. The pupils may
also inspect bakeries, cold storage, meat markets, etc.,
where food is stored or sold and find out if these places are
conducted according to the laws designed to protect public
health. This, as well as many other interesting problems,
may be taken up in the study of civics. In the study of
the growth of the Panama Canal the problem of making
civilization possible is a general theme for discussion._ The
study of the war on tuberculosis affords an opportunity to
stress the all-important duty of good health habits, and the
necessity of following the rules of the health game.
Everyone will agree that fixed habits are necessary.
The child should know the value derived from clean hands,
etc., which can be learned only by knowledge of practical
facts.
The personality and habits of the teacher very often
influence the kind of habits which pupils practice.
The following is quite true: "In no other subject of
the curriculum does the teacher teach so constantly as in
Health Education. Silently, insistently, whether conscious
of it or not the dress, carriage, voice, manner, and habits are
moulding the lives of the pupils M Therefore the teacher
must practice good health habits, since he should be a liv­
ing example of the type of manhood and womanhood he
expects the children to attain.
A foundation is necessary before anything can be com­
pleted. It is a fact that the foundation of education is
healthy living and habits; for without good health, knowl­
edge will not suffice. The question is— Are we as teachers
going to strive with every effort to make that foundation
firm so that it will not fall? When we realize that the
school children of today are to be our future citizens ^we
should do everything in our power to instill into their lives
the necessity of good health habits in order that they may
become more efficient physically, mentally, and morally.
In this world of ever changing fashions, let us strive
to make health fashionable at all times.

HEALTH CREED AND HEALTH SONGS
I have listed below “ Health Creed” and “ Health Songs"
which emphasize different phrases of health very clearly:
The Health Creed
M y body is the temple of my soul
Therefore I will keep my body clean within and without.
I will breathe pure air
And I will live in the sunlight.
I will do no act that might injure the health of others.
I will try to learn and to practice the rules o f healthy living.
I will work, and rest, and play
At the right time and in the right way-So that my mind will be strong
And m y body healthy;
So that I may lead a useful life
And be an honor to my parents, to my friends, and to
M y country.
The Six Best Doctors
Tune-- “ Yankee Doodle” )
The six best doctors anywhere
And no one can deny it
Are sunshine, water, rest, and air,
Exercise, and diet.
The six will gladly you attend,
If only you are willing.
Your minds they’ll ease
Your ills they’ll mind
And charge you not one shilling.
Little Bo Peep has ten hours sleep
From early night ’till morn.
Little Boy Blue has ten hours too,
Before he blows his horn.
But Simple Simon sits up late,
And so ‘tis plain to see
W hy he is dull and they are bright
And happy as can be.
Scrub
(Tune— “ Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the Boys
Are Marching” )
Scrub! Scrub! Scrub! are words of warning
Keep all the Grinders shining bright,
Use your powder, brush, and paste,
There’s no time to lose or waste,

Keep them clean by brushing
Morning, Noon, and Night
Tune— “ Smiles. ”
There are foods that make us happy
There are foods that make us blue
There are foods that steal away the rosebuds,
As the sunbeams steal away the dew.
There are foods that have a hidden magic
That the eyes of God alone may see,
And the foods that fill my heart with power
Are the foods that God gives to me.
Tune— “ Keep the Home Fires Burning”
Keep the good work going
While we tall are growing,
Though the sun has not gone down,
W e go to bed,
There’s a body growing
Seeds of joy we’re sowing
Keep the good work going on
Till we grow up.

HEALTH EXAMINATION AND HEALTH INSPECTION
IN THE CLASSROOM
Directions to Teachers
“ During the school period the teacher becomes, as an
agent of the State, co-trustee with the parents in the great
task of guarding against injury or loss to those upon whom
the future of the world depends.”
1.
The teacher should appoint each week a sufficient
number of pupils to serve as "health officers” or “ sanitary
inspectors” for the class and class room. With a little care
in the initial instruction, these pupil health officers may
render very effective service and stimulate a real interest
in the better hygiene and sanitation of the school. These
pupil officers may be rated by the teacher for quality of ser­
vice, at the end of each term of office. The duties of pupil
health officers may be:
a. To open windows wide and air the school room
thoroughly every day before the session begins and during
the relief drills.
b . To remove chalk, scraps of paper, and other litter

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

15

from the floor, hallways, stairs, school yard, and side
walk at intervals designated by the teacher.
c. To consult the room thermometer at appropriate in-r
tervals and assist in securing a desirable temperature (be­
tween 65 and 68 degrees).
d. To help in the plans of the school and keep the
school buildings, equipment, and premises clean.
2. The teacher should supervise the selection of pu­
pil officers and direct their activities. Habits o f commun­
ity hygiene will be established in young citizens.
3. The windows of all school rooms that are in use
should be opened daily before sessions, and regularly dur­
ing sessions, especially during the relief drills; when the
weather will permit the windows should be open all the
time. Keep the windows down at the top.
4. Inspect children fo r cleanliness and neatness, signs
o f physical abnormality and injury, or illness.
a. Results in cleanliness and neatness may be secured
through rapid inspection and advice.
b . The experienced teacher is likely to be the first to
detect deviations from the normal in the appearance of
school children. One may thus detect disease and secure
early care with a consequent early recovery or may save or
reduce school room contagion and epidemic through early
and prompt attention.
c . Inspect pupils for signs o f health disorders and phy­
sical defects every day, the first time you see them. Cul­
tivate the habit of rapid general observation of the entire
class. After some experience, these inspections will take
only a few seconds of time. The more detailed examina­
tion is a duty of the physician, not the teacher. Be always
on the alert to detect signs of health disorder. Do not be
afraid to make mistakes. Be quiet about your inspections
and judgments about your pupils. Make your relationship
sympathetic, and confidential. When yon note that a child
is showing signs of disordered health, make your further
investigations o f those signs quietly so that the attention
of the other children may not be unduly drawn to the event..
5. Conditions which call for immediate attention: Chil­
dren showing any o f the signs noted below, should be sent
home by the teacher or principal, and should remain out of
school until they can return with safety to themselves and
their schoolmates. Return to school should be contingent

ing the importance of wise health supervision and the child
should receive such health instruction as may help him take
intelligent care of his body and its organs. Each case should
be followed up, and a record made o f what is done and of
the benefit secured for the child.

noted at home are in general the same as those in group 5 .
Emphasis may be laid, however, upon the following:
Nausea or vomiting; dizziness, fainting, or unusual pal­

SCHOOL BOARDS OF HEALTH
It is advised that every school in Pennsylvania estab­
lish a local Board of Health for its own government, the
organization and administration of such Boards to be pat­
terned after that of Borough Boards of Health. In oneroom schools the Board should consist of five members. In
larger schools the membership may be increased to include
one member from each school room, the term of office,
made in accordance with local expediency, to be not less
than three weeks or more than six.
Membership on the
Board of Health should be a reward of merit. Upon ap­
pointment the Board should proceed to elect a President and
Secretary. Two Health Officers, a boy and a girl, should
be appointed from each room, the Health Officers to be
appointed upon recommendation of their teachers. The
Board of Health should enact ordinances in accordance
with local conditions, no ordinance to be effective without
the signature of the Principal or of the teacher in charge.
“ The duties of the President. The President shall pre­
side at all meetings and shall have general supervision o f
work of the Board.
“ The Secretary shall be the custodian of all property of
the Board, shall keep the minutes, a record of all orders, and
shall make weekly reports to the government head o f the
school.
“ The Health Officer shall make daily inspections of
schoolrooms, halls, and toilets, shall keep a record of the
temperature of the schoolrooms, taken four times daily, shall
call the attention to individual pupils of violations of the
adopted ordinances, and shall make reports in writing to the
Board of Health at their weekly meetings and emergency
reports to the President of the Board at such times as ne­
cessity may require.
“ Meetings. Regular meetings of a School Board of
Health shall be held once a week at the time and place spec­
ified by the governing head of the school.
“ All meetings shall be open to the school but no persons
except members of the School Board of Health may be en­
titled to vote or participate in discussions, except by permis­
sion of the Board.
“ Special meetings may be held upon the call of the
President of any two members. A call for a special meeting
must be addressed in writing to each member of the School
Board of Health stating the purpose of the call, and no other
business, except that specified, may be transacted.

MALNUTRITION IN SCHOOL CHILDREN
' "D r. Thomas D . W ood, Columbia University, states
that 15,000,000 of the 24,000,000 school children^ are suffer­
ing from remedial health defects. Malnutrition is the chief
evil and that is due quite as much to ignorance and neglect
as to poverty.”
The above paragraph which appears in the December
number of the Pennsylvania School Journal has been read
by thousands of Pennsylvania teachers.
"W hat does it
mean?” is the first question asked.
“ What can we do
about it? ” is the second. This article aims to answer both
questions if possible.
Malnutrition is a word that until recently appeared in
but few vocabularies, probably in those of the medical and
nursing profession only.
Since the war, when so many
men were rejected from service because they were under­
weight, and since so many children are found to be so far
below normal, there has been a greater interest in, and a
wider knowledge of Malnutrition. Welfare workers are
bringing the facts before the public, and teachers are begin­
ning to realize that they have a very real opportunity to
help the children to more efficient citizenship by raising
the standard of health.
Call up that lad on the front seat. The children call
him "S k in n y.” No wonder! He is eleven years old and
fifty-five inches tall. According to the chart he should
weigh seventy-five pounds whereas the scales show barely
sixty-five. He is ten pounds underweight, or thirteen and, a
third per cent below normal. If we go back on the chart we
find his development is about that of a seven or eight-yearold b oy . He is therefore physically retarded three or four
years. A record from last year shows that he has gained
but two pounds here he should have gained six.
If we examine further we shall find the protruding
shoulder-blades often called “ angel wings.” His posture is
poor, and he fails to sit or stand for any length of time. His
face is pale, his skin being almost waxen. He is eager to go
to play, but is quickly tired and often becomes irritable and
quarrelsome. Long-continued physical exercise is impos­
sible because of his soft flabby muscles.

n

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

Mentally lie is retarded almost as much as physically
He loses several weeks out of each school year because of
illness, and when in school finds it hard to give continued
attention. Consequently he is two years below his grade
Uuless a rapid change for the better is made he will become
discouraged, leave school at the earliest opportunity, and be
but one more to join the great army of the unprepared, un­
fitted to do a man’s work in the world.
What can we do? A careful physical examination may
disclose the fact that our lad has adenoids, diseased tonsils,
decayed teeth, or astignatism. In the case these exist, a visit
to the surgeon, dentist, or oculist will set him free to gain.
Should none of these be found, we shall investgate the
home, the boy s food habits, and his other living habits.
Dr. W ood says, “ Ignorance and neglect are as often the
cause of malnutrition as poverty.” Has the child three,
adequate meals a day? Has he rest hours enough? It is
estimated that forty per cent of the malnourished children
fail to secure enough sleep.
The teacher may tactfully suggest the kinds of food
needed by children, but a better method is to give the child
himself the desire to gain. Here the play and game, song
and story all have a part. A friendly spirit of rivalry, the
use of health charts where the child’s progress is indicated
by colored stars, simple rewards, and formation of health
clubs, all are excellent means of stimulating interest in th<“
Health game.
Let a considerable part of your time in the Health class
Create rivalty in the drink­
ing of milk, eating vegetables, etc.
If your school children must carry their lunches, do
not fail to serve at least one hot dish a day. Here, too, it is
wise to create the sentiment in the school before you ap­
peal to the home. Very often the hot lunch will be your
greatest aid in overcoming malnutrition, affording an appli­
cation o f so many principles of right living. Even the con­
tents of the lunch box can be brought into harmony with
the hot lunch, if the matter is tactfully presented.
.
There is a wealth of available material at hand, deal­
in g With malnutrition. The expenditure of a few cents will
brin g th e latest information to the teacher, together with
valu able suggestions for presenting the work in the school
and community. Finally, when every teacher has done his
o r her part to remedy this great danger to our nation’s welb e spent on the subject of food.

NUTRITION IN THE NORMAL SCHOOL
In Health Education we believe that we should aim
to establish and maintain the highest degree of personal
health as a part of the required preparation for teaching.
No one can teach successfully what he does not know;
and the teacher of health must himself possess vigorous
abundant health if he is to convince others that health is
a most desirable possession. I f we can make health en-

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

thusiasts of our teachers, that enthusiasm, always contag­
ious, will mean eventually healthier children in the schools,
a healthier community, state, and nation.
Many students entering the Normal School to prepare
for the teaching profession are far below the average in
physical health. It is necessary therefore to help them
make up their deficiencies as far as possible, and for this
reason Nutrition was included in the Health Education
course. One of the clearest indications of physical fitness
is shown by the scales. A condition of seven to ten per
cent underweight is regarded by all health authorities as
abnormal, and requiring special treatment. The student
who is underweight is usually so because he is malnourish­
ed— not under nourished, but badly nourished. This rarely
means insufficient food, but rather food or living hab­
its, poor metabolism, or physical defects that should have
the attention of a physician.
W e believe that by bringing the student up to normal
weight two things will be accomplished. First, the student
will be better able to meet his problems and to maintain a
fair standard of scholarship if his condition of health is
improved. Secondly, when he sees before him the methods
o f dealing with malnutrition, and results obtained, and when
he himself is benefited, he will be trained to deal with the
problem of malnutrition when he meets it in the school­
room.
The first step in sifting out the malnourished students
is to measure and weigh all students during the first week
o f school, and each month thereafter. The actual weight
is then entered upon cards with the normal weight for the
height and age of the indivual. Next all students who are
noticeably underweight are grouped together and offered
the opportunity of securing a lunch in the middle of the
morning, the lunch consisting of a cup of milk or cocoa
and a cracker, served cafeteria fashion between ten o’clock
and ten-twenty of each school day. Most students find it
possible to secure this lunch in the five minutes allowed
for the passing of the classes. It is definitely understood
that to be allowed the privilege of the lunch each one must
obey the rules of the Health Game and that the lunch is not
to be substituted for any other meal, especially breakfast.
Few who are offered this privilege are willing to forego
it after the habit has become fixed, and some are even un­
willing to leave the class after the normal weight has been
attained!

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

For a smaller group the experiment is now being tried
of establishing an underweight table in the school dining
room. The original idea was to give closer attention to
certain individuals than was possible in the larger group.
While this has not been strictly adhered to, the table is
popular because of occasional additions to the regular menu,
r the substitution of an easily digested dish for one more
difficult of digestion.
To all underweight students is offered the opportunity
of consultation with the nurse or dietition in regard to diet,
and the advice is freely offered. All students are urged to
drink milk freely, and to encourage this habit milk is served
at each meal in the dining room. Fresh fruits and vegeta­
bles are served as often as possible, and whole grain cereals
and graham bread are constantly on the menu.
Each month the weight cards of the students are exam­
ined and any unusual loss or increase in weight noted.
At this point it might be stated that the problem of the
overweight student is not overlooked, and by careful atten-f
tion to the proper kind of food a number of overweight stu­
dents have made very noticeable reductions.
Since the
members^ of the Junior Class are given formal instructions
in Nutrition during the first semester their weight cards are
considered and discussed in the class and suggestions offer­
ed as to additional methods of remedying the condition of
underweight, by finding and removing the cause if it is due
to some other reason than food habits. When the student
continues to lose for several months while obeying the rules
of hygiene, an examination by a physician, dentist, or ocu­
list is advised. The cause may be bad teeth, astigmatism,
diseased tonsils, incipient tuberculosis or a number of other
conditions which can be remedied only by medical or sur­
gical attention. One underweight student was found to be
suffering from diabetes, another heart weakness, while a
third who lost steadily for several months was found to
have a large number of badly decayed teeth. When these
were repaired, she immediately began to gain, reaching
normal weight within a short time, although she had been
considerably underweight. A young man who had applied
for admission to a Naval training school and failed to qual­
ify because he was twelve pounds underweight,— made rap­
id gains during his nine weeks in the Nutrition group and
won his admission in October.
During the Summer Session of 1922, the classes in
Health Education numbered two hundred and twenty-nine.

26

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

Weights taken during the first week showed that seventy—
twenty-four men and forty-six women— were eleven pounds
below normal. The group as a whole showed greater eag­
erness to co-operate than any previous group, following
the rules of the Health game as far as could be observed,
and in many cases forming new food habits.
Few had
previously used milk as a beverage, but when induced to
do so, made noticeable gains. The eating of all kinds of
fruits, vegetables, and whole grains was stressed, as well
as regularity in habits of eating.
The morning lunch
was always well patronized, not only by those in the nu­
trition group, but by others who saw the importance of
building up a reserve force in the form of increased body
weight. Despite the fact that these people were working
very hard, that most of them had come to the Normal
School directly from the school or class room, and that
the hot weather made school work especially difficult, the
gains were remarkable. Weights were taken at the end
of the fourth week and again at the end of the eighth
week. Of the whole group under observation not one of
the underweights had lost a pound, although several failed
to make any gains. On the other hand, some who were
decidedly overweight were able to lose a considerable
number of pounds by applying their knowledge of foods
and food values.
The gains and losses when tabulated
showed that the two hundred twenty-nine persons had
made a total net gain of seven hundred ninety-five pounds,
or an average net gain of three pounds, seven and one half
ounces. One young man who was nineteen pounds below
normal had gained the entire amount in nine weeks. The
greatest gain by any young woman was fourteen pounds,
and gains of ten or twelve pounds were common. At the
end of the Summer session thirty-four of the s e v e n ty eleven men and twenty-four women— practically half of the
underweights, had brought their weights within the eleven
pound limit and many of them had reached their normal
weight. The best part, however, was that nearly all were
convinced that malnutrition could be remedied in most
cases by proper foods and right habits of living.
As a piece of follow-Up work the following questionaire was sent to these teachers, and about a hundred and
twenty others who had been in the Health Education
classes in the Spring term, all of whom are at present en­
gaged in teaching.
It was hoped the answers to these

tfHE NORMAL SdHOOl H ER a LT)

2?

questions would show how far the Nutrition course was
functioning in the schools.
Questionaire:
1. Have_ you established the weighing and measur­
ing of the children in your school?
2 . How do you secure the scales for this?
3. What percentage of children 7 to 10 per cent, un­
der weight did you find in your school?
4. What are you doing for these underweight chil­
dren?
5. Do you have a hot lunch in your school?
6 . Was it started this year? How is it financed?
7. Have you started any other new work in Health
Education through the influence of your course in the Nor­
mal School?
From the first thirty-five replies received the reports
were very encouraging. To the first question all but eight
reported affirmatively. Scales were secured in various
w ays: Farmers living near the school lent scales, or the
children^ were taken to a convenient store or mill. Two
communities gladly furnished scales.
In one school
scales had been purchased by the board of education, while
another teacher was collecting money to purchase scales.
The percentage of children seven to ten per cent un­
derweight was variously estimated from eight to forty per
cent. Only one teacher reported no underweight children
in her room. It was encouraging to note that all teachers
were advising the children to drink milk, eat plenty of
eggs, fruit, and vegetables, and were developing the incen­
tive to gain through rewards, games, health clubs, etc.
Eight have either begun, or are planning in the near future
to#establish^ hot lunches. This is a large number, consid­
ering that in many of the schools the children all lunch
at home.
From these few replies received it was evident there­
fore that the Health Education work in the Normal School
is not bounded by the school walls alone, but like the stone
tossed into the pond it is reaching out, in ever widening
circles, into the schools and homes of more distant com­
munities until the waves of good health shall wash out of
existence every force that is now at work to prevent the
child from having a long and useful life, built on sure foun­
dation .

THE GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
This is one of the largest and most active organizations
in the school. We offer seven different sports during the
year and a large percentage of our student body takes part
in several of these. Points are given for active participation
in all sports and the girls work first for their one hundred
and twenty-five, in order to become members, then for their
numerals, later for their official “ S,” and finally for the gold
medal.
— Mary Etta Houck, ’23, President
I shall tell you a few details about the point system.
If a. girl enters Normal as a Junior, she must have “ 325”
points for her numerals and “ 550” points for her “ S” . If a
girl enters as a Freshman, she must have “ 950” points for
her “ S . ” The highest honor is the gold medal which is giv­
en to the member of the graduating class who has the great­
est number of points after her “ S . ”
— Hazel Frye, ’23, Vice President
All the girls who enter sports keep training rules. The
purpose of this plan is to form good health habits and we
consider this of far greater importance than the mere form­
ing of teams and winning of games. Could you keep these
rules without making some sacrifice?
1. Sleep eight hours out of every twenty-four.
2 . Sleep with all windows at least half way up except
in case of storm.
3. Take a full bath daily and sponge off chest and arms
in cold water every morning.
4. Drink six glasses of water daily.
5. Drink no tea nor coffee.
6 . Coco-Cola and sundaes not permitted.
7. _ Eat not more than three pieces of candy daily and
this within one-half hour after meals.
8 . Eat nothing after 8:30 P. M. except on Friday.
— Eleanor Heiges, ’23, Secretary
There are no dues in the G. A . A . and we have no
definite way of making money. Two plans have been tried
in the past and with the co-operation of every girl, have
proved successful. When new members are taken in they
are given fifty cents and are requested to double this amount
within a certain time. The idea is to earn the money, not
give it. The old members have sold candy, cake and ice
cream in the “ Court” on Friday nights. Last year we earn-

ed over one hundred dollars to support a Varsity Basket
Ball Team but this year we have the support of the school.

The Hockey season this year was one of the best we
ever had. Favorable weather conditions were responsible
for part of this. There were over one hundred girls train­
ing for this sport. Three teams were organized with three
reserve teams to act as subs. All scores proved that the
teams were close rivals but the greatest excitement was in
the Junior-Senior series. These teams played two tie
games. The Seniors, however, showed their spirit and abil­
ity by two victories, winning the championship.
— Ethel Coble, ’23, Head of Hockey
The Basket Ball season opened with one hundred and
fifty girls signed up for tryouts. This is the largest repre­
sentation we have on record. Three class teams have been
picked with reserve teams to act as subs. W e expect to
have a “ Varsity” and a schedule of ten games has been ar­
ranged. We play strictly girls’ rules and hope in the near
future that all schools in Pennsylvania will reach this stand­
ard.
— Blanche Meyer, ’23, Head of Basket Ball
In Base Ball season the girls use the small diamond on
the athletic field and play with a larger ball thus avoiding
the use of gloves. The other rules are similar to those used
by the b oy s. Last year there were three organized teams
and this year we hope for a still larger turnout.
— Marie Sleichter, '23, Head of Base Ball
Last year splendid spirit was manifested by the G. A .
A . members in the Tennis season. The most popular hour
was before breakfast and three mornings a week the courts
were crowded by 5 :30. W e could fill a dozen more courts.
The school has promised us several additional ones and this
will enable us to conduct tournaments in both doubles and
singles next year.
— Mary R . Good, ’23, Head of Tennis
The Hiking season reached the climax this year in
both numbers and enthusiasm. There were over one hun­
dred and fifty girls in the squad. The hikes were taken on
Saturdays, before breakfast, after study period, and the
final one to Chambersburg lasted all day. Many girls en­
joyed this activity who were not able to participate in the

S6

more vigorous forms of athletics. Another season of eight
weeks will be conducted in the spring.
— Mary Hoover, ’23, Head of Hiking
Dancing has become an important part of our school
life at Normal. Let it be understood that there are three
distinct types of dancing: folk, aesthetic, and social. The
folk dances of Norway, Sweden and Denmark, are studied
in connection with our Physical Training program.
The
aesthetic dancing adds an attractive feature to our Society
programs, and in May we expect to give a Pageant which
will include this form of rhythmic exercise. The social
dancing is enjoyed in the “ Court”, Friday evenings and at
Our monthly dances held in the gymnasium.
— Kathleen Gibbons, ’23, Head of Dancing.
MEN’S ATHLETICS
One of the heaviest football schedules ever framed
and carried through by the Normal Athletic Department
was completed November 30th in really the best game of
the season when the undefeated Massamitten College team
from Virginia won a 14-13 decision in a gruelling contest
which was not decided till the closing minute of the game.
The season throughout was a splendid success, not
merely because the team won the district title in the Penna.
Normal Athletic League for the second consecutive year but
because of the increased interest shown by the men and
the student body as well. A strong football spirit predom­
inated— one factor necessary to any winning team. Nine
games were played in as many weeks by the Varsity. Six
of the nine were victories. In only one of the three de­
feats was the Red and Blue squad really outclassed; that
was the Gettysburg College Reserve contest.
Indifferent
playing and fumbles were responsible for the other two.
The following record was established for the season:
C. V . 6, Altoona Apprentices 0; C. V . 50, Dickinson
Reserves 0; C. V , 10, Bloomsburg 33; C. V . 6, Gettysburg
Reserves 24; C. V . 46, Millersville 6 ; C. V . 19, West Ches­
ter 6 ; C. V . 1, Lebanon Valley Reserves 0, forfeit; C. V .
18, Altoona Tech. 0; C. V . 13, Massamitten College 14.
Accidents, both temporary and permanent so far as
length of season were concerned, were numerous, due in a
large measure to the heavy schedule.
These accidents
greatly hampered the progress of the squad because the

service of these men was not available. Capt. Gerba,
Hays, Smith, Dreese, Thornton, Jones, Charlton and Shuler
were all more or less deprived of playing at various times
throughout the season.
The Reserve squad under the able leadership of Capt.
George Meredith, completed a schedule of six games with
a splndid record.
Although not all games played were
won, nevertheless the experience gained by the boys puts
them in line for a Varsity berth in the coming year or two.
Sixteen Varsity letters were awarded to the first team and
fourteen monograms to the second. An engraved certificate
was also awarded to each'Varsity player.
The basket ball season is now under full sway. By
the time the Herald is published, several games will have
been played by the teams. From all indications the out­
look for another successful season seems promising.
A
squad of forty candidates was drilled for several weeks in
the gym in preparation for the opening game with Kutztown Normal, although a practice game was arranged with
the Dickinson College Reserves prior to the Qutztown game.
The following schedule has been arranged with a num­
ber of additions to be made later:
Dec. 8, Dickinson College Reserves; Dec. 16, Kutztown
Normal; Jan. 12, at Schuylkill College, Reading; Jan. 13,
