W e wish to extend a hearty greeting to all new students
and assure them of their ardent welcome.
W e hope that
their feeling of strangeness may soon wear off and that they
will enjoy us as much as we expect to enjoy them. Former
students and alumni do not need to be told of the faculty’s
interest in them, an interest which continues unbroken
through any changes in personnel. To all teachers in train­
ing or in active service— we hope that this and succeeding
numbers of the HERALD may be full o f help and inspira­
tion.
EXTENSION AND CORRESPONDENCE W ORK
L . E . Smith, Director.
A few Extension courses were given by the faculty of
the institution last year, notably at Duncannon, Middletown
and Boiling Springs.
These classes were well patronized
and a strong appeal has been made for the continuance of
this work.
The Extension W ork appeals particularly, first, to those
.teachers who have been long in the profession and feel the
need of present day methods in teaching and school adminisitfation ; secondly, to those who have not yet qualified to

4

THE NORMAL SCHOOL WPTRAT/n

teach all the branches now in the elementary curriculum;
and thirdly, to those teachers who need additional credits to
enable them to procure a Normal Diploma or State Standard
Certificate before 1927. In fact to all progressive teachers
whether working in the grades or the high school, Extension
work will meet a long felt need in the teacher training sys­
tem of the state.
Our institution offers practically every course in Exten­
sion that is given students in residence..
For the fall term
the following courses are being given:
I
Art,— Music, Drawing.
Education,— Sociology, History and Principles of Edu­
cation, Educational Measurements, Psychology (Elementary
and Advanced), School Efficiency.
English,— Fundamentals, Composition, E x p r e s s i o n ,
'Classics.
. Methods,— In English, History, Geography, Reading,
Arithm etic.
Science,— School Hygiene, Nutrition, Nature Study,
Economical and World Problems in Geography, Elementary
and Advanced Zoology, Elementary and Advanced Geology,
(Zoology and Geology are given at the institution onlyj
classes Saturday forenoon).
Social Studies,— Social and Industrial History, Rural So­
ciology
Mathematics,— Advanced Algebra, Solid Geometry, Tri­
gonometry.
All courses may be counted for credit as resident work.,
Students taking Extension courses in the professional sub­
jects will receive two semester hours credit toward Normal
School Diploma or State Standard Certificate. Students in
academic subjects will receive credits in proportion to the
number of hours taken. Those students who are taking work
for advanced standing and college degree will receive the
usual college credit given for such courses.. W e are aiming
to organize courses in every part of this State Normal School
■District.
W ork has already started in a number o f places
and in others classes are being formed weekly.
It is our
purpose to give two courses of fifteen weeks each during the
present school term. It may not be generally known that
owing to the length o f the school term, teachers will not have
an opportunity, as heretofore, to take work at the institution
during the spring term. To those engaged in teaching, the
summer term at the State Normal School and other nstitutionS of learning will afford the only means of doing resident

w ork. The teacher, therefore, may take Extension work
during the latter months of her school term without inter­
fering with her plans to enter the institution at the opening
o f the summer term. The two Extension courses given dur­
ing the year will enable teachers to increase their credits
materially without interfering with their school work.
In
fact, the work given will function directly in the daily work
o f the teacher in the school room, at the same time, supple­
ment the credits procured during the summer term.
Only a nominal fee is charged for this work. Ten dol­
lars is the cost of a course. The number of students re­
quired to secure a course varies with the expense involved in
paying the instructor and his expenses. The minimum num­
ber of students for class organization is fifteen. The alumni
and teachers o f this State Normal School District are invited
to enter into correspondence with the Director of Extension
concerning this work.
A limited number of courses are offered also to students
b y correspondence. The courses which may be taken in
correspondence are: English, Reading, History, School E ffi­
ciency, Advanced Algebra and Triginometry. Where teach­
ers are working in places too remote from centers where Ex­
tension courses are given, they may arrange for correspon­
dence work by communicating directly with the Department
o f Extension.
PRINCIPAL’S LETTER TO THE ALUMNI
Dear Friends:
I know that you will be interested in learning that once
more we have broken attendance records. W e opened with
more than 500 students in the regular departments. Stu­
dents continue to come to us and all indications point to an
enrollment of 525 for the first semester. This is an increase
o f more than seventy-five over the high water mark in at­
tendance last fall. As we shall limit our attendance to 600
Students, we must restrict the number received during the
year to seventy-five additional students.
W e are especially pleased with the fine spirit shown b y
the large entering class. These students come to us from
many counties of the state. They are well prepared for the
work,— in fact, they are better prepared as a whole than any
previous class. W e have also the largest faculty in our his­
tory . Misses Dyer and Turner have been added to the su­
pervisory staff in the Training School.
Prof. Gilbert will

6

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

be Dean of Men and Assistant in the Science Department.
Miss Heffernan will assist in the Department of Health Edu­
cation and Prof. Burkholder returns to us to take charge of
a new field of work. Prof. L . E . Smith will give all his
time to Extension Work and because of the large enrollment
in the High School Department, Miss Nancy McCreary will
assist in the Latin and History Departments.
The seven
teachers just mentioned are additions to the regular faculty
staff.
Prof. Shearer, who has been absent at Chicago Univer­
sity for a year and a half, returns to head the Science De­
partment. Miss Arnold takes Miss Mayberry’s place as
Dean of Women; Prof. Pennington that of Miss Clever in
English; Miss Cox that of Miss Cullen in Art and Miss Slaven that of Miss Kirk as Assistant Librarian. Prof. Slyter
fills the place made vacant by Miss Adams in the Music De­
partment.
Miss Koehler will be with us as teacher o f
French during Miss Bausch’s leave of absence at Bryn Mawr.
The other regular members of the faculty are with us again.
Perhaps the one outstanding feature in our registration
is the large number of young men enrolled. Nearly onethird of our students are men. Though the school has made
no special effort to secure athletes, it is interesting to note
that a large number of those who have come to us are inter­
ested in athletics. During the first week, fifty responded to
the call of Coach Sharadin to football practice. These men
come to us with fine records from their high schools and rep­
resent. an ardent sincere body of students.
The Trustees are planning in connection with the State
Department to make extensive improvements in the Main
Building. The Chapel will be changed materially and re­
decorated. A new and up-to-date stage will be provided.
Additional office room will be arranged and the parlor will
be enlarged by throwing the front and rear parlors together.
New trim will be provided for the classrooms, and hard­
wood floors will replace those now in use.
The present
stairways will give way to modern fire-proofed entrances.
New and up-to-date lavatory equipment will be provided and
all the rooms in the Main Building will be completely reno­
vated and modernized. This work will require more than
a year for its completion, but when the work is finally done,
the Main Building will be as modern in structure and equip­
ment as any newly constructed building could possibly be.
W e open the new year with the brightest prospects for
the most successful year in our history. I, personally, ap-

predate the fine work that you, my fellow Alumni, are do­
ing to make possible the growth of your Alma Mater.
I
trust we may all meet one another during the coming year
at the various County and City Alumni Meetings. Let us
join one of these organizations wherever we may be located.!
The various Alumni Societies have done fine work during the
past year. Let us unite for still more effective work.
Trusting that the coming year may be a most successful and
prosperous one to all of you, I am,
Fraternally yours,
EZRA LEHMAN, ’89.

MEETINGS OF THE COUNTY AND CITY ALUMNI
ASSOCIATIONS
Dr. Samuel Johnson once remarked ironically, “ Don’t
make the acquaintance of your neighbor. You might like
him if you d id .”
The old satirist probably realized how
much of the real pleasure of life we lose because we do not
come to know the other fellow. In like manner our mem­
ories of school days might be still pleasanter if we know the
other men and women better, especially when they were stu­
dents at the same school, sat in the same classrooms and
were interesting in the same things.
Our County and City Alumni Associations are organized
for the express purpose of bringing all the graduates and
former students of the school into closer fellowship. W e
have found that there is no better way of bringing this about
than to have them sit down to a table for a few hours. All
formality is banished and everyone becomes a boy or a girl
again and lives over the old days.
Some of our City Associations are splendidly organized.
The Metropolitan Association brought together a big lot of
people from Philadelphia and the adjoining counties with a
good delegation from New Jersey.
Dr. S. Z . Shope an­
nounces that he will have a still bigger rally this year and
any of us who know «“ Sam,” know that he will do what he
promises. Pittsburgh has a fine organization and the yearly
banquet is a big event. Westmoreland County, too, is well
organized with a leader like Kell at its head. Dauphin Coun­
ty holds a fine rally every year and Gettysburg has a com­
mittee of “ live wires” to see to it that the old school is not
forgotten. Huntingdon County had a good turnout last year
under Prof. R ife’s leadership. W e trust that with such men

8

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

as Sachs, Wink, Hoerner and others like them, the good
work will be continued.
Juniata, Mifflin and Fulton are
smaller counties, but they have a fine group of graduates.
W e trust they will get together this fall and have good meet­
i n g s P e r r y County should be able to have a still better
meeting than it had last year with a banquet thrown in.,
York County under Supt. Albright’s able leadership has al­
ways had a fine meeting. The two counties, Franklin and
Cumberland, always have a large crowd present, but neither
has yet reached the standard that these two big organiza­
tions should attain.
Well, the list isn’t entirely exhausted for we have two
unorganized districts with a fine corps of graduates and stu­
dents,— Altoona City and Bedford County.
The former
numbers among its people, some of the most distinguished of
our Alumni and the latter sent us about one hundred and fifty
students last year. Altoona and Bedford should both have
live organizations. W ho will make the move?
Let us all get together and make these organizations
sources of pleasure for ourselves and influence for the “ old
school on the h ill.”
EXTENSION COURSES FOR THE COMING YEAR
We esteem ourselves particularly fortunate in being able
to secure the services of P rof. L . E . Smith as Extension Di­
rector. Prof. Smith made a splendid record during his four
terms as County Superintendent. His wide acquaintance
with school officials and his practical first hand knowledge
of the needs of the teachers fit him admirably for his present
position.
He has already organized centers at Everett, Schellburg,
Bedford, Defiance, McConnellsburg, Waynesboro, Mercersburg, Chambersburg, Carlisle, Mechanicsburg, Harrisburg,
Millersburg and Newport. Preparations are under way for
centers the Normal School will give Extension Courses on
Friday evening and Saturday forenoon in the regular class
rooms for all teachers who live within a radius of ten miles
o f Shippensburg.
These Extension Courses will be of the greatest possible
value to all teachers who wish to qualify for credits in the
regular Normal School Course or who wish to Secure a
Standard Certificate or a Partial Certificate for next year.
Elsewhere in the HERALD the work is outlined at greater
length.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE RURAL TRAINING SCHOOLS
When the last Rural Number of the HERALD (April,
1921) went to press, plans for the Spring Session of the Ru­
ral Training School were not definitely formulated. In due
course of time, however, important decisions and plans were
made and through the co-operation of the majority of the
members of the Southampton Township (Cumberland Coun­
ty) School Board and the patrons of Oak Grove School, the
school remained in session until June first.
Oak Grove School— Spring Session 1921
Twenty-four wide-awake, earnest and capable children
enrolled for the session. No tuition was charged as the Di­
rector of Rural Education acted in the capacity of a regular,
teacher and twelve Rural Seniors were directly responsible
for the class work on a one-teacher school basis.
A five
hour day enabled the children to assist with their chores at
home and, at the same time, the Rural Director was free to
meet two Normal School classes daily.
The aim of the Director was to show the Rural Seniors
that vitalized, socialized class room procedure brings^ inter­
est, initiative and rapid mental response from the pupils and
also creates community interest.
The curriculum was organized on the project plan. The
Advanced and Intermediate Groups in Community Civics,
planned to beautify the school building and grounds.
A
rich buff coat of alabastine with fresh paint on the wood
work replaced the soiled wall paper.
This was accom­
plished through the combined efforts of the pupils and Rural
Seniors and the financial support of the School Board.;
Draper adjustable window shades were also purchased by
the School Board.
The Country Life Club of the Normal
School placed standard pictures on the walls, provided bur­
lap for exhibition of expression work and curtains for the
dinner pail shelf. The above mentioned improvements
brought forth most favorable comment from patrons and
friends when they assembled in the school room to attend
a home talent play given by the Lee’s X Roads Grange.
Sanction of the township at large was forcefully expressed
in the fact that the School Board had five additional rooms,
re-decorated during the summer.
The Classes in Civics and English co-operated in prepar­
ing the Arbor Day program.
The exercises were held at
seven o’clock in the evening thus making it possible for the
busy farmers to attend. In addition to the program pre­
sented by the school, appropriate addresses were made b y

The work in oral and silent reading stressed during the
regular school session was continued and standard scores
were attained. Exceptional records were achieved by quite ■
a few. Detailed reports concerning standardized tests and
measurements will be given in a later publication of the Her­
ald.
Rural Training Schools— Regular Session, 1921-22
The Rural Training School work was continued in three
schools and five additional schols were organized. Space
will not permit of a detailed report of the many worthwhile
activities in these different centers. However, the individ­
ual schools deserve special mention.
The following members of the Normal School Faculty
assisted at stated intervals in the Rural Training Schools:
Miss Clare Demaree, Music; Miss Anna Cullen, Art and Pen­
manship; Miss Elizabeth McWilliams, Cooking Lessons;
Miss Grace Kyle, R . N ., Health; Miss Ida Quigley, Librar­
ian; Prof. L . C. Krebs, Geography.
Special aims for the year were: Improved classroom
ininstruction, purposeful seatwork, individual help for slow
learners, creative work for the rapid learners, a more health­
ful and attractive school environment, provision for the sys­
tematic exhibition of school work and the holding of com­
munity meetings.
Southampton Township—Franklin County
Oak Grove School— Miss Erna Leiberknight, teacher.;
Progress made by the Second Year children in reading was
unusual. Three weeks were spent on Silent Reading, devel­
oping a vocabulary from their environment and daily exper­
ience. Intensive, directed study and drill were required be­
fore any oral reading was permitted. The result was evi­
dent, viz., habits, attitude, skill and appreciation were estab­
lished, as well as knowledge acquired.
Clearfield School— Miss Helen Rummel, teacher.
In
this school exceptional progress was made in First Year
Reading.
The children learned to read with a natural ex­
pression, rapidity and understanding. One pupil, a begin­
ner, read with ease and understanding ten primers and first
readers by the first of January.
Mt. Rock— Mrs. Mary Alleman, teacher. Mt. Rock is
one of the three schools under the supervision of the Rural
Training Department since the fall of 1920 v The continu-

ance and growth of the school and community activities
have been uninterrupted. Near the close of the last session
the Terrnan Revision of the Binet-Simon Intelligence Scale
was used by the Rural Seniors. The twenty-eight pupils in
attendance that day made an I. Q. median o f 106.
The
eight highest were as follows: 142, 140, 140, 130, 125, 121,
120 and 119; the eight lowest were: 100, 90, 88, 85, 83, 78,
75 and 59. Seventy-two per cent of the pupils scored a
mental age from three months to five and a fourth years in
advance of their chronological age.
Sunny Hill— Miss Edith Morrison, teacher. This school,
excelled in Arithmetic and Nature Study activities.
The
efficient work of the teacher, the loyal co-operation of the
patrons and the location of the school have been the deter­
mining factors in choosing this school for more intensive Ru­
ral Training School work during the 1922-23 sessions. See
pictures in this number.
The appreciation and support of the Southampton Town­
ship (Franklin County) School Board and the Franklin Coun­
ty Superintendents have been a source of great inspiration
and help to the Director of Rural Education and the teach­
ers.
Southampton Township— Cumberland County
Centre School— Miss Edna Stamy, teacher.
The work
in Geography in this school is worthy of special mention,,
Miss Stamy in co-operation with the State Director of Geo­
graphy and the Director of Rural Education followed the ten­
tative State Course of Study in Geography.
The booklets
prepared have since been used in State and County Institute
conferences and in Geography Methods Classes at the Nor­
mal School. The emphasis upon penmanship in the booklet
work led a number of the pupils to quality for the Palmer
Buttons which they were very proudly wore. The unusual
interest of the children in geography led to a great demand
for supplementary books which functioned in the homes as
well as in the school.
Oak Grove— Miss Jane Allen, teacher. Miss Allen very
creditably continued the “ One Hot Dish a Day Lunch Pro­
ject” started the previous session. The co-operation of the
patrons and the gain month by month of the children as
shown by the weight and height records of the Normal
School Nurse, Miss Kyle, furnished conclusive evidence that

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

13

•one hot dish a day for lunch and a healthful school environ­
ment are well worth the effort.
Lee’s X Roads— Primary School, Miss Jane Rebuck,
teacher. Through the leadership of School Director, J. L .
Highlands, the School Board gave the Lee’s X Roads children
a more adequate and attractive school environment and the
response on the part of the children was quite noticeable in
the quality of classroom work. Near the end of the session
the pupils summarized interesting activities of the year and,
to the surprise of all, they had participated in thirty-five.,
One was the Nature Club through which they became ac­
quainted with their community, expressing their knowledge
in booklet and chart form. Excursions through the coun­
tryside and underground passage ways added adventure and
pleasure as well as information to the adolescent youths who
profited by the fine leadership of their teacher.
Special Exercises for Eighth Year Pupils
Fifteen eight year pupils from Oak Grove, Centre and
L ee’s X Roads Training Schools successfully passed the
Cumberland County High School Entrance Examinations
given by the County Superintendent. This was accepted as
a real achievement for the Rural Training Schools, especial­
ly in view of the fact that the remaining six schools in this
township furnished but one additional pupil.
Special exercises were held in the Lee’s X Roads Church
b y the Rural Department of the Normal School. Dr. Ezra
Lehman, School Director Brady Smith, Rev. J. B. Crawford
and R ev. J. S. Hoffman were the speakers of the evening.
Special music was furnished by the members o f the Normal
School Faculty and students. The certificates were present­
ed by County Superintendent J . Kelso Green. This type of
township meeting was so enthusiastically received that the
adjoining township invited the Rural Department of the Nor­
mal School to assist with similar exercises for their eight
year pupils.
Community Meetings and Activities
The teachers of Mt. Rock and Sunny Hill Schools held
•several Spelling Bees and Community Meetings during the
school term.
Refreshments were sold and different funds
realized to purchase equipment such as a Victrola, records, li­
brary books, pictures, etc. The Rural Department assisted
b y showing lantern slides on a variety of subjects, such as
Yellowstone National Park, India, Birds of Pennsylvania, etc.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

The teachers of Southampton (Cumberland County) or­
ganized in January under the leadership of Mr. Reese Bert,
Mr. Benjamin Myers, and Miss Helen Shoap, for a series o f
community meetings.
It was decided to hold one meeting
every Thursday in one of the nine school centers in the town­
ship. Fortunately weather conditions permitted the carry­
ing out of this program during the entire season without in­
terruption and the respective communities responded with A
good attendance.
The school children furnished a half hour’s program at
each meeting consisting of regular class work, club work,
music, physical exercises, plays, etc. The School Directors,
patrons, ministers of the vicinity, the County Superintendent,
the Assistant County Superintendent, the County Vocational
Director, the Country Life Club of the Normal School and
members of the Normal School Faculty volunteered to assist
the Program Committee when needed for the remainder of
the program.
A community activity deserving of special mention was
the re-grouping of fifty desks at Centre School by School Di­
rectors Handshaw and Smith and patrons, with the help o f
Normal School students and older pupils of the school. This
was no small task but the workers felt fully repaid because
of the benefits derived through the change.
Lee’s X Roads School— Spring Session 1922
Through the co-operation of the patrons and a majority
of the School Board, a spring session Rural Training School
was held at Lee’s X Roads.
The attendance, interest and
achievements in class work, were similar to those of Oak
Grove Spring Session 1921. The English work in charge o f
Mrs. Bernice Shambaugh was motivated through the mak­
ing of a Bird Booklet. The advanced group in History based
their work upon a careful study of inventions which touched
the experiences of the pupils. Charts and booklets were the
types of expression work which summarized their extensive
reading.
The teachers in training joined the children in their Sun­
day School picnic and led in games, story telling and com­
munity singing.
Members of the Normal School Faculty
and students assisted the churches in the community with
special exercises during Children’s W eek.
As the result of community interest in this district, the
Director of Rural Education has been assisting in the inaugu­
ration o f graded Sunday School Lessons in Cleversburg. W e

hope to give an interesting report of this work in due course
of time.
SummaryIn the foregoing paragraphs, the aim of the writer has
:been to give the reader a clearer conception, rather than a
detailed report, of the efforts of the Rural Department in
bringing greater educational opportunities to the pupils in
the Rural Training Schools and at the same time, in giving
the Rural Seniors of the Normal School that training and vis­
ion which will better fit them for leadership in the rural com­
munity schools of our state which are rapidly becoming a
reality under the efficient leadership of Dr. Thomas E . Finegan and his able co-workers.
Many difficulties have confronted the Rural Department
from time to time but the interest and untiring efforts of the
teachers and pupils, the co-operation of the patrons, the un­
derstanding and never failing support of Dr. Lehman and
the progressive members of the School Boards reduced the
handicaps to small proportions.
The Rural Director is especially indebted to the State
Department of Education for their hearty co-operation and
leadership; and also to the members of the Normal School
Faculty who frequently assisted in the work.
The Rural Department most gratefully acknowledges a
gift of Twenty Dollars from Dr. Ezra Lehman and a gift of
Forty Dollars from the Class of 1911. This money is being
carefully invested in equipment for the Rural Training
Schools and a detailed report will appear in the next Rural
Number of the HERALD.
During the coming school term we are hoping to realize
greater and richer opportunities for the Rural Training
Schools and thè large group of Rural Seniors.

THE COUNTRY LIFE CLUB REPORT
The Country Life Club had the privilege of hearing Miss
Adeline B. Zachert, State Director o f School Libraries of the
Department of Public Instruction, give a talk on “ Joy Read­
ing in the Rural Schools.” At a later meeting, Miss Erna
Grasmuck, State Director of Geography, gave a demonstra­
tion lesson in Fourth Year Geography.
During the Spring Session, Mr . W . J. Skillman, Voca­
tional Director of Cumberland County, gave an illustrated
talk on the “ Boys’ and Girls’ Club Work in Cumberland
County.” This was an open meeting to which the Spring
Session Students were invited.
The first public radio demonstration in the Normal
School District was given through the efforts of the Country
Life Club. The following excerpts are taken from thee Shippensburg papers April 5, 1922:

Successful Radio Telephone Demonstration
At Lee’s X Roads
Sunday evening more than one hundred people assem­
bled in the public school building at Lees X Roads to listen
to a radio telephone demonstration by Mr. E . Nott, Gen­
eral Superintendent of the New York Westinghouse Radio
office and R ev. George Linn Kieffer, Statistician and Refer­
ence Librarian of the United Lutheran Church of America,
also located in New York City.
The aerial was put into place in less than an hour b y a
group of citizens. To the surprise of all a 1500 meter radio
zone was reached and all kinds of interesting messages were
received.
After a few minutes of tuning Mr. Nott and the local
committee made a few changes in the aerial. The “ Keeler
Speaker” then amplified the messages so that the entire au­
dience heard distinctly the services o f the Point Breeze Pres­
byterian Church, Pittsburgh, Pa., Rev. P. H . Baker, Minister.
The sermon, the congregational singing, the benediction
and pipe organ postlude were so clear and apparently so close
that the Lees X Roads audience became part of the great au­
dience who worshipped with Dr. Baker’s congregation by
radio, Sunday evening. To illustrate William Jennings Bry­
an spoke in the same church March 12th. Mr. Bryan has
received 4000 letters from 45 states from people who heard
him speak in Pittsburgh.
At the conclusion of the church services, the Westinghouse Pittsburgh Broadcasting Station announced their pro­
gram for the week and said “ good night.”
Mr. Nott then turned the receiving set for Newark,
where a sacred concert was being broadcasted. Vocal and
instrumental solos and duets were heard in turn. At 9:55
the receiving outfit was tuned for the Arlington Time Signals,
after which the official weather forecast for Monday was
heard.
Newark was reached a second time and the audience lis­
tened to the remainder of the sacred concert.
After an informal conference with the radio experiment­
ers about this wonderful product of modern science, the good
people withdrew to their respective homes in the valley con­
vinced that another invention is available to bring the best
o f the city to the country .

LIBRARY PASTE RECIPE
Materials: 3 cups cold water, 3 cups flour, 3 cups boiling
water, 1 teaspoon salicylic acid, 1 tablespoon carbolic acid,
1 tablespoon alum and a few drops of wintergreen.
Mix together the flour and salicylic acid; add cold water
and mix until smooth; add this mixture to boiling water,
which is in the upper part of a double boiler. Cook until
the mixture is clear and of the consistency of cream (adding
boiling water as needed). Take from the fire, strain through
a wife strainer; add carbolic acid and oil of wintergreen and
pour into glass containers. This gives 1 quart of paste which;
will keep indefinitely.
Used, and recommended by the Rural Department.

A SUGGESTIVE DISTRIBUTION OF GEOGRAPHY
LESSONS FOR RU RAL SCHOOLS

These suggestions have been formulated by Miss Erna
Grasmuck, State Director o f Geography and Miss Hannah
A . Kieffer, Director of Rural Education, Shippensburg State
Normal School, with the co-operation and help of the Rural
Training School and the 1922 Spring and Summer Session
Geography Methods Classes in charge of Miss Kieffer.
This outline is merely suggestive and all the geography
periods for any one grade have not been assigned sp that
there will be abundant time for developing and testing the
pupils’ abilities to use the text book, specimens, pictures,
maps, and graphs as means of procuring ideas and also fo r
expressing ideas. Conditions confronting teachers who have
more than one grade represented in their class have been con­
stantly in mind in making the following suggestions. This
applies to those schools where the work of some grades is al­
ternated: for example, fifth year work is taken up with both
sixth and fifth year pupils during one year and sixth year
work is taken up with the same pupils the following year 0

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

This outline deals primarily with subject matter and the
State Course of Study with which every teacher should be
familiar and which every teacher should use as a constant
reference.
Other aims to be achieved year by year are
stated in the complete course of study and should constitute
additional objectives to be achieved. The figures in paren­
thesis accompanying each division of work refer to the num­
ber of lessons suggested in which that particular unit of work
might be treated.

Third Year

LIFE IN THE LOCAL ENVIRONMENT: Food (1 5 );
clothing ( 3) ; shelter ( 3 ) ; travel ( 3) ; communication ( 3 ) ;
clinching all kinds of work (2 ); clinching essential facts o f

these cereals are different from those grown here and why
not grown here (rice) or not prepared here (rolled oats,
grapenuts, shredded wheat, puffed rice, e tc .); work involved
in growing these grains and cereals.
Nuts: Kinds that grow in our district; kinds shipped to
us from other districts; why not grown here.
Beverages: Coffee, tea, cocoa; kind of place from
which each comes and why not grown or prepared in our
district.
Sugar: W hy not raised and prepared in our district;
sources of sugar (sugar beet, sugar cane and maple tree).
Other Kinds of Food: Those grown here; those not
grown here; why not grown and prepared here; work neces­
sary so that we may have this food.
Fourth Year
Two possible methods of procedure are offered: One is
on the basis of occupations or industries whereby the various
parts of the United States and Canada are studied in associa­
tion with these activities; the other on the basis of political
sections of the United States and those parts of Canada adr
jacent. In the latter treatment certain work activities will
be studied in connection with each section. The figures re­
fer to a possible number of lessons to be devoted to the sug­
gested unit of work.
Outline on the Basis of Occupations and Industries in the
United States and Canada
Work activities in our own district will serve as a basisof comparison. This treatment offers abundant use of the
index of the text book.
Agriculture: General farming— grains: wheat and corn
(3), rice ( 3) ; cotton ( 3) ; sugar: cane and beet (3); fruit
farming (1 ); fruit growing: temperate zone fruits (1 ); tropi­
cal zone fruits (1) ; grazing (3) ; dairying (3).

Recreation ( 2) : One or two recreation centers in United
States and Canada with which the pupils have had contacts
by means of post cards or souvenirs sent to them from these
places or through friends who have visited these places, etc.;
Outline on the Basis of Political Sections of the United
States and Adjacent Parts of Canada
While a given occupation is being analyzed in detail with
one of the following sections, care must be taken so that the
pupils fully realize that other occupations are also carried on
in these sections and the pupils must also be led to find other
parts of the United States and Canada where this occupation
is carried on.
Middle Atlantic: Mining, farming and fishing (10); New
England: Quarrying, manufacturing (10); Southern: Cotton,
naval supplies, rice, sub-tropical fruits (10); Central: Cattle
raising, meat packing, automobile machinery (20); Rocky
Mountains: Mining, sheep raising and irrigation (10); Pacific:
Lumber, Salmon fishing, sub-tropical fruits (10); Alaska:
Fishing, mining ( 5) ; Dependencies: Panama Canal Zone—
supplies for ships; Philippine Islands— copra; Hawaiian Is­
lands— Sugar, pineapples; Virgin Islands— coaling stations;
Guam— coaling stations; Porto Rico— sugar (10).
The United States may then be reviewed on that basis
which differs from the one used— that is, either on the basis
of occupations or political sections.

Eighth Year
Introducing Statement: During the year 1922-1923, sev­
enth and eighth year pupils are combined in many rural

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

27

schools. It is recommended that the eighth year outline be
followed stressing the conservation of natural resources as
well as the production and distribution of the resources.
A special plan of work will be prepared for use in 19231924 in those schools where the present seventh year pupils
having become eighth year pupils will then be grouped with
a new class of seventh year pupils.
Stressing the topics offered in the suggestive Teachers’
Guide in the Course of Study, each of the important countries
of the world will be studied. The following will serve as
an illustration. The countries of the continent may be stud­
ied in their order before another continent is studied or
a careful study of one country may be made to serve as a.
basis of comparison for all the continents. France, Italy,
Argentine, China or Japan.
1. Natural Resources: varieties in the field of agricul­
ture, fishing, mining, forest industries, water power, trans­
portation.
Comparison of the amount which France pos­
sesses with the amounts in the possession of the leading"
countries of the world. Policy and method of conservingthese resources.
2. Contribution made by France to other countries: a,
products; b. avenues of transportation and trade centres; c ,
other contributions such as art, literature, educational ideas,
immigrants; d. possible future contributions France cam
make.
3. Contributions which France receives from other
countries : a. products ; b. countries from which these products,
are sent to France ; c. avenues of transportation ; d. other con­
tributions received; e. possible contributions to be received
from other countries. In this study the above facts can be
expressed by filling in outline maps either of the continent
studied or of the world. Graphs, blackboard and wall maps
(outline) are especially helpful in showing transportation,
trade centres as well as producing areas. Graphs are espec­
ially useful in indicating comparative amount of production
of exports and imports. Much emphasis should be placed'
on the relationships of these life responses of agriculture,
mining, etc. of each country and the physical or geographic
factors of that country (climate, surface, soil, mineral depos­
its, position in relation to developed regions of the w orld ).
General idea of the present form of government and the
present as well as future problems of each of these countries
should be introduced at the proper time. The number o f

28

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

lessons to be devoted to the study of life in any one country
■will vary and will depend upon the background of the chil'dren but the teacher should aim to complete this comparative
study of the countries of the world in four months.
Comparative study of Production Areas of the W orld:
Wheat, corn, rice, rubber, tea and coffee, sugar (cane, beet,
maple), fruits, raw cotton, copra, hemp, raw silk, cattle,
swine, sheep, fish, coal, iron, copper, gold, silver, platinum,
petroleum, natural gas; textiles, iron and steel goods will be
•the special topics of consideration. The United States will
serve as a constant basis of comparison.
The pupils will be especially interested in the areas or
•districts producing farm machinery, automobiles, auto trucks
and other labor saving devices.
See Course of Study for a more detailed treatment deal­
ing with producing areas. Also, see Course of Study for
treatment of large non-producing areas. Throughout all the
■work the essential factor of place geography will be constant­
l y introduced and stressed.
General Geography: The “ W hy” of these producing and
non-producing areas introduces the facts of general geo­
graphy which will be clinched at this time. See Course of
Study. The amount of time to be devoted to these comparaUve studies of the producing and non-producing areas will
"be approximately three months. The last month of the year
•can be devoted to a thorough review of those phases of the
■work requiring additional emphasis.

f

Suggestions For Expression Work in All Grades
Introductory Statements— It will be found advisable to
•¡concentrate on one or two subjects or problems in the ex­
pression work rather than to encourage the pupils to spread
their energy over too many topics. The pupils, however, should
always bring contributions in the way of pictures, specimens,
sketches, clippings, etc. that will be useful in the general de■velopment of the geography lesson, even though the mater­
ia l will not be arranged on charts or posters. A workable
plan of assembling all these contributions, individual and
school, in boxes, envelopes, etc., will be very helpful. Much
«of the work can be accomplished during the seatwork period
^following the oral discussion o f the particular lesson in geo­
graphy. Careful planning and at time directed class work
¡sire essential.
In the First and Second Year Group, the nature study

lessons lay a valuable foundation for the later geography
work, since these lessons acquaint the pupil with his environ­
ment and establish useful habits of observation and investi­
gation. The expression work will take the form of weather
records on calendars; flowers, vegetable, tree, bird, animals,
etc., posters and booklets.
Weather Records: The weather calendar may be a
chart to which each of several classes or groups in the school
contribute. Pupils in the Fourth Year should be definitely
responsible for the planning and completing of the record
kept by the First, Second, Third and Fourth Year pupils.]
On the chart will be shown in free hand cutting, drawing and
color, one or more activities suitable for the month. Sym­
bols determined upon by the children are used to express the
condition of the sky, wind direction and types or kind of pre­
cipitation. The Fourth Year pupils will record the temperature m terms of degrees only in those cases where such a
method seems advisable. In the weather records kept by
the pupils o f the upper grades greater accuracy and detail
y il l be required. The use of the graph to represent changes
in temperature and National Weather Report symbols should
be encouraged. All weather records should be filed for com­
parative studies.
Posters and Charts: First, Second and Third Year pupils
wiH make flower, bird, vegetable, animal, etc. charts and posB l ThJs work will be a means o f expressing ideas gathered through observation during the different seasons. In the
Fourth Year charts and posters on such topics as cattle (pre­
sented m series o f pictures, sketches, newspaper clippings,
specimens etc.), various breeds, feed, housing facilities, and
Xt will be an advantage to make the proper
n s e o f oudme maps of the U. 1 and N. A . in this connection. The Fifth and Sixth Year charts and posters might b e
made showing the various animals of a continent such as
Asia, minerals, precious stones, etc.

THE NORMAL, SCHOOL HERALD

See Course of Study for suggestions in reference to essentials
o f a booklet and chart.
In a class booklet the best and most fitting contributions
made by the members of the class are chosen by the pupils.
In the group booklet each member of that group makes some
specific contribution, the various contributions are then or­
ganized into a booklet. In the case of an individual booklet
one child holds himself definitely responsible for the book­
let.
Individual differences and inclinations must be fully
recognized and appreciated by both teacher and pupils.
Purposeful Seatwork: This time will be devoted partly
to the investigation and study of questions raised during the
class periods and partly to the execution of expression work
which serves as a means of clinching ideas discussed in the
class periods.
During the study of Life in the Local District, each sev­
enth year class in 1922 and 1923 is urged to work up a book­
let dealing with one leading occupation or industry in the
home community. This booklet will become a preliminary
part of the school equipment. The class of seventh year pu­
pils in 1923-’24 will work up another occupation or activity,.;

^ GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
The G. A , A . is one of the best organizations of the
Normal School. We are planning to have it the best by the
end of this term.
One of our aims is to welcome the new girls, and to make
them interested in our school athletics. For a beginning w e
had a gym party in their honor. They showed a fine spirit
by the way they entered into the different affairs. We hope
they will continue their enthusiasm throughout the years
spent in C. V . S. N. S.
The heads of the different sports are planning for a fine
season in every way. The hockey players are beginning this
week, while those who play tennis have already showed their
interest by the use of the courts.
The basket ball season is not far off and we hope for a.
big turn out. Don’t let the fine spirit fall.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

on Friday and was taken to the Hahnemann hospital, Phila­
delphia, where she died yesterday morning. She was ad­
mitted to the hospital on Saturday. She had suffered from
diabetes.
Miss Yinger was 16 years of age and was the
valedictorian of the Hallam High school, class of 1922. Dur­
ing the summer she attended the sessions at Shippensburg
State Normal school. The body was brought to Hallam this
morning and the funeral will be conducted on Wednesday

St. James Lutheran church, of which she was a member, will
conduct the services. Miss inger was secretary of the Young
People’s Missionary Society of the church, an active worker
in the church and Sunday School and a talented musician.,
R ife. William Rife, ’93, of Hanover, died September
15, 1922. W e clip the following from an Adams county
paper:
William Rife of Hanover died on last Friday at his home
from valvular heart trouble aged 53 years, 1 month and 11
days. Death came while conversing with members of his
fam ily. He had been recovering from a ten week’s illness
and on day of his death had been sitting on his front porch
for the first time. He was a native of Adams County. He
graduated from Shippensburg Normal School in 1893, taught
school in Adams County for 12 years and had reputation of
being a mathematical genius. 20 years ago he accepted a
clerical position in Western Maryland freight office at Han­
over and in two years time was advanced to position of ticket
agent, which position he held until compelled recently to re­
linquish by reason, of his illness. He was a member of the
Masonic lodge of Hanover. He was a son of Mrs. Mary
Newman Rife, and the late Joseph Rife, who resided near
Cashtown. About 26 years ago h ewas married to Miss Mar­
garet Worch who survives him with an only daughter, Miss
Florence Rife, a teacher in the Hanover public schools. He
is also survived by his mother, two brothers and three sisters;
Charles Rife of Fairfield; Herman Rife, residing with his
mother on the home place near Cashtown; Mrs. John Fritz
o f Cashtown and Mrs. Frank Sterner and Miss Clara Rife of
York. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon. The
body was taken to Flohrs Church where services were held
and interment was made in Flohr’s cemetery. The Rev.,
Dr. M. J. Roth of Hanover officiating.
Worley. Katherine C. W orley, ’21, died July 30, 1922.,
The numerous friends of Miss Katherine W orley were

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

3»

shocked during the summer school to receive word o f
her death. A committee of her classmates was appointed to
attend the funeral, and the class adopted resolutions which
Were forwarded to the family.
Miss W orley was graduated from the Harrisburg High
School before coming to Normal and finished the Normal
course with_ credit in 1921. She was a student at Dickinson
College during last year and would have been a junior this
year.
She was ill for several weeks following an attack o f
pneumonia. Her friends hoped that she would recover as
her illness was not considered serious until very shortly be­
fore she died.
In her death the Normal School loses one of its most
worthy and esteemed graduates and the HERALD joins with
the other friends in expressing sympathy to her parents and
fam ily.
FOOTBALL SITUATION
With a squad of 48 men in training since school reopened
September 18th, the football situation this year seems en­
couraging to thousands of students and alumni who are pull­
ing with might and main for another championship outfit
which last year went through the Normal League race unde­
feated. Coach Sharadin gathered a squad of athletes from
various high schools during the summer who set a wonderful
record on the athletic field and gym. floor within the past
few years, who now are wearing the Red and Blue uniforms.,.
Among the recent addition to our athletic family are Thorn­
ton, Seal and Brougher of Mechanicsburg High;; Firth of
Yeagertown; the Mehring Brothers and Harbaugh of Gettys­
burg High; Sell, a 185 lb. tackle from Roaring Springs High;
Norris and Mann of the champ. Clearfield High team of '20
and 21; Smith, an all round lad from Woodlawn High, which
gave us Capt. Geba and Jones; Gilbert and Orner from Arendtsville Vocational High; Shull and Rice from Landisburg
H igh; Hess of Edison High, Harrisburg; Bob Maclay and
Strike of Shippensburg High; Shuler of Highspire; and
Dreese of Millerstown, who unfortunately is now nursing a
broken wrist.
The schedule for both squads is the heavi­
est combination attempted in years, but with the proper
spirit shown by the squad and student body, we may expect
another record-breaking season. Mgr. Barnhart announces
the following games for both Varsity and Reserve teams:

Ever live to raise the standard
Of her glorious fame.
