OPPORTUNITIES AT THE SHIPPENSBURG NORMAL
DURING THE COMING YEAR
The Shippensburg N orm al School (officially designated the Cumber­
land Valley State Normal School) has just closed the most successful
school year in "Its history. A ll records were broken as 1094 students
were in attendance. O f these 3S1 werè m en:— a remarkable showing.
In order to accommodate this large enrollment o f students it was neces­
sary for three hundred to room outside the school dormitories though
boarding at the stihool. A ll available'lpace, including manual training
and stock rooif s l weré used fo r recitÉaon purposes.
W hile we may congratulate ourselves on this record, we frankly
state our position in regard to the size o f a Normal School. W e believe
the best work can be done in a Normal School when its attendance does
not 'exceed 600 students. It is then possible fo r the faculty to know
every student personally and for the students to know one another.
There is then no overcrowding Of classes with the resulting lecture
methods, o f leaching. W ith an attendance o f 600 it is possible to have
many o f the home conditions*: so necessary to real enjoy m ent® f student
■life, T h eiè is also: present the fine school spirit that should characterize
the w ork o f any institution. As a result we shall try to limit our at­
tendance to 600 during fp e l coining ÿear, so that we may realize ,the ideals
at which we are aiming. W e shall stresS the follow ing points during
the coming year.
T he S ocial L ife of the S tudent. W e have long believed that the
school should be a preparation for the actual every day life into which
the student must go on leaving school. The school, therefore, . should
anticipate these social situations and train fo r them. W e believe in
having young people meet on the campus, in the monthly school socials
that are’ given under faculty supervision and on other suitable occasions.
They must, be trained in the social life o f which they are so soon to be
a part. W e encourage our students to take an active part in the w ork
o f the Literary Societies, in the Y. M. and Y . W . C. A., the Press Club,
the Dramatic Club, the Arts and Crafts Club and other similar organi­
zation's; for in no éther way can they bè trainëw for leadership so success­
fully. Those who have musical ability are invited to join the School
Orchestra, the Girls’ Choral Society (o r the Boys’ Glee Club), the Glee
Club o f the Normal or the Philo Literary Society.
W e encourage clean, athletics as w e have found that clean sport
makes for clean living. We||ave made fine records in fo o t ball, basket
ball, and base ball and w e shall give much attention to track and field
events next year. The girls take an active interest in hockey, basket
ball and girls’ base ball. ThSiGirls Athletic Association is a very active
organization and promotes -hiding, bicycling, tennis ahd other sports.
W e expect to lay p u t fo u r more tènnis courts during the next year. The
effect o f this social life has been very beneficial upon the student body.
Our standards o f scholarship have been raised and a high type o f moral
conduct- developedf : \

R easonable R ateÊÎJî ty e believe especially in times o f business de­
pression that it is our duty to keep our rates fo r boarding, etc. as low
as possible. W e charge but $6.00 a ,week for boarding, furnished room,
-boat, light and laundry, including also the services o f a. trained nurse,
when necessary. The registration fee o f five dollars is payable when
a room is reserved. There are two fees o f $7.50, one payable each
semester, covering the eostedf admission to games, lectures, concerts, etc.
Thus thè èhtirë cost o f all thé above items is $236.00 fo r the school
year o f 36 weeks. W e are able to furnish a high type o f boarding at
this rate.

LETTER TO HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES
Dear Friends'“:
Last year we congratulated ourselves on the fact that our advanced
enrollment contained the largest number o f high school graduates that
we had had in ou r history. But even that record has gone glimmering
in comparison with the present. Everything indicates much the largest
enrollment o f high school graduates in September that we have ever
liad. The Normal School makes an appeal that was never possible
before. Teaching has at last come to its own, for now it may fairly
challenge iepmparison with other occupations in length o f term, salary
paidp and opportunity offered. The public, too, is coming to realize
the value o f trained teachers and will continue to demand them in
increasing numbers.
In times o f business depression the need o f teachers is greater than
ever, for the attendance o f pupils .in the public schools is larger then
than at other times,; hence the teacher is assured o f a permanent
position. Then too, so great is the demand for trained teachers that
we can not furnish Superintendents enough graduates. W e have many
requests that we cannot fill yfor teachers who have taken the primary
and intermediate work. The call for young men who can teach several
subjects in Junior or Senior High School and assist in Athletics is so
great that we can not meet it. W e could place three or fou r times as
many graduates in rural w ork as are available.
My young friends; you have just completed your high school course
and you are looking about for an opening that will pay you a living
wage and at the same time give you an opportunity fo r service, where
can you find a better opening than in teaching? Under recent legis­
lation the salaries B f teachers will go steadily upward. In a large
majority o f cases a ste|i|y increment is assured;' the term has been
lengthened and the work made more attractive. Remember too, that
while business has its periodical seasons o f depression, during which
it is necessary for business firms to lay off thousands o f young men and
women, teaching has no such periods. As the population increases,
more and more teachers are required and everywhere there are splendid
openings to the ambitious, earnest young man and woman.
W e have tried to make it worth while fo r young people to come to
our school. W e have kept our rates for boarding as low as they can
possibly be kept while furnishing good, substantial, appetizing meals.
Remember that $216.00 pays fo r boarding, furnished room, heat, light,
laundry and nurse’s services, when necessary, for the entire school year.
I shall be glad to hear from you if you are interested* in the opportunities
open to you at our school. W e are always glad to have you visit us
and to see fo r yourselves just what we can offer you.

DO MEN GO TO NORMAL SCHOOL?
The above query so often heard causes those connected with the
Shippensburg Normal to smile for to them it would be almost as
pertinent to ask, “ D o W om en go to Normal Sch ool?” Here we take it
as a matter dfts course' that men go. to Normal School. W hy not? 351
men were in attendance here this year as against 204 last year. _ In 1913,
105 men were enrolled, p in e years later the number has increased
more than 300 per cent. The truth is men are coming to us in increasing
numbers. Go into our class rooms, into the literary society, notice the
groups on the campus, and note particularly, the crowds o f men taking
part in athletic sports o f various kinds.
Witlr the great demand for men as teachers— a demand that we can
not meet—we look forward to a still larger attendance o f men at our
sch ooM i

ADVANCED ENROLLMENT FOR 1922-1923
So: great has been the demand for rooms in our dormitories during
the past two years, that we have required the payment o f an enrollment
fee when a. room i s . assigned. A t this writing the rooms in our_ dormi­
tories' are being rapidly assigned and appearances indicate that in spite
o f the larger number that will be available next year, we shall not be
able to accommodate late comers with rooms. The enrollment o f men
is twice as large as on previous years at this date (July 1st). A ll who
expect to 'c o m e to us as-boarding students should send the five .dollar
enrollment fee at once, so that a ' room may be reserved. In case a
student is unable to come, the registration fee will be returned if request
is made prior to Sept. 2nd,- A fter that date the fee will not be returned.

ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES DURING THE YEAR
As noted elsewher|-Jmany changes anjji improvements will be made
during the coming year in physical activities at our school^ W e shall
starSout by adding Miss Heffernan, who made so fine a record during
the spring and summer sessions as a teacher o f health education, to our
teaching staff.
. ..
.
■ . ., .;
Platts are under way to. drain the entire. athletic field so that more
space will be available for games. A running track will be laid out
during the summer or early fall; the fo o t ball and hockey fields will be
¡H arranged»;as not to overlap; at least jo u r new tennis courts will be
prepared; the bowling alley in the gymnasium will be thoroughly over­
hauled,and a number o f other minor improvements made.
P rof. Sharadin believes that he will have a strong foot ball team. He
realizes that it will be hard to replace Hoerner, K ing and Mellott who
were in'the graduating class, but he has learned that a number o f good
men are coming in who have made good records on high school teams.
The girl’s hockey and basket ball teams should be the strongest we
have ever h^i|> Everything points -to an interesting year in athletics.

CHANGES IN THE FACULTY
It is inevitable that there should be changes every year in a faculty
o f forty-tw o members.» Only a few o f the all-year faculty will be
absent next year, but among them will be two whose absence will be
noted with special regret: Misses Mayberry and Clever. Miss Mayberry
after four years o f service retires to go into a home o f her own.

Missi Mayberry has proved herself not only an efficient teacher, but a
sincere helpful counsellor o f the girls o f the school as Dean o f W omen.
W hile w e regret the loss o f Miss Mayberry we wish her all possible
happiness and rejoice that she is to make her home in Shippensburg.
Miss Clever leaves us after three years o f splendid work in English. She
finds if necessary to leave us because o f illness in her home. Miss
Clever has proved herself an inspiring teacher o f her subject:— one who
vitalized the w ork o f composition. A ll will unite in best wishes to her.
P rof. L. W . Rice, who filled P rof. Shearer’s place very_ satisfactorily
during the latter’s leave o f absence, will take special w ork in New Y ork
City during the summer. Next year he will fill the Department o f History
and Civics in the- high school o f Irvington, N. J. P rof. Rice was
married immediately after leaving us. The Herald joins his numerous
friends in extending congratulations and best wishes to him and his bride.
Miss Bausch o f the French Department has been granted leave o f
absence for one year to take advanced w ork at Brywn M awr College.
W e are glad that Miss Bausch will return to us in the summer o f 1923
to continue the work in which she has made so fine a record.
Miss Cullen, Assistant in Art, and Miss Kirk, Assistant in_ English,
leave us with the kindest regards o f all who were associated with them.
Miss Disert who was with us during the second semester and the
Summer session will take a position in the Department o f Education in
W ilson College.
P rof. English o f the Spring and Summer faculty will be in charge
o f the schools o f Royersford, Pa.
Three o f the faculty who were with us during the Spring and
Summer will remain:— P rof. L. E. Smith, who will be D irector o f
Extension work, Miss Loretto Heffernan, who will fill the position o f
Assistant in Health Education and P rof. Levi Gilbert, who will serve
as Dean o f Men and Assistant in Science.
The teaching staff and entire student body will unite in welcoming
back to Normal, P rof. S. S. Shearer, who has made a remarkable record'
as a graduate student during the past year at Chicago University. P rof.
Shearer’s work has attracted the attention o f men from other institutions
and he has received flattering offers from several colleges. W e are
particularly happy because he has decided to return to us as head o f
the Science Department. W e know that his classes will be thronged
with students who have learned how interesting biological science can
be made when taught by a great teacher.
W e welcome to our faculty Miss Edna Arnold o f Weston, W . Va.,
as Dean o f Women. Miss Arnold is a cultured woman o f wide experience
as a teacher. She comes to us well qualified fo r her w ork as Dean,
because o f similar experience in the University o f W est Virginia. Those
who know her are emphatic in their praise. She made a visit to _us
before accepting the position and created a most favorable impression
on all with whom she came into contact.
P rof. Thomas J. Pennington, form erly o f Kansas but m ore recently
o f New Y ork City where he has taken his Masters Degree at Columbia
University, will come to us as a teacher o f English. P rof. Pennington
has been trained in Normal School work and has had a wide experience
as a teacher. H e comes to us with the strong endorsement o f the
Columbia faculty under whom he worked.
In addition to the above named teachers, two additional teachers
will be added to the Training School Department and one in the English
Department. W e believe the faculty o f next year will be found to be
the strongest assembled in the history o f the school.

THE SUMMER TERM
The Summer Session is well under way at this writing. Our atten­
dance will settle somewhere between 560 and 700. The outstanding
faict about qur enrollment is that , nearly ninety per cent o f the students
are, or at least would be under ordinary circumstances, boarding
students, A ll who could arrange to enroll as day students were encOurageffito do so as our rooming and boarding departments were taxed
to their uttermost
Miss McWilliams and her assistants have handled the boarding pro­
position by .'serving breakfast and lunch cafetena fashion and serving
two dinners, at 5 qjclock and 6 o ’clock.
A ll the regular add' spring term members o f the faculty are here
foS.tB e summer term except P rof. Rice and Misses Cullen, Kirk, Robb
and Snively. The Summer Term students are a fine body :— interested
and alert and as a whole one o f the finest groups o f students that have
ever been at Ih.e Normal.

PRINCIPAL’S LETTER TO THE ALUMNI
Dear F riends:
Our Commencement season« was unusually attractive this year; not
only because o f the large class that was graduated, but chiefly, I
believe, because o f the “homey” atmosphere that characterized the entire
week. W e regret that because o f the very large attendance, it was not
possible fo r us to accommodate the graduates m th rooms during their
stay with us. Unfortunately, too, it was not possible to have the parents
o f the g ra d u a flp h ou se with ' us. However, everybody entered goodnaturedly into the spirit o f Commencement. W e were particularly grati­
fied to notice that in spite o f the fact that we had no pageant to
exhibit this ygar and that our exercises;' were o f the common-every-year
type, large numbers journeyed to Normal to take part in the various
numbers o f the program.. The Class Day exercises were unusually
good. In fact, the class could not have chosen better representatives
than those who addressed the large crowds present on Class Day.
The Alumni procession was much larger than we had anticipated.
The only noticeable falling o f f . was in the attendance o f the earlier
classes. Probably not m ore than 100 o f the first seventeen classes
were present, but the class o f ’92, was represented by forty o f its
members and the later classes enrolled a large per centage o f their
membership. I f the procession did pot represent the variegated colors
displayed last year, there was no lack o f enthusiasm. Class yells were
given and class songs sung with a vigor and even a tunefullness that
belied the catalogue statements as to the age o f the shouters and singers.
The reunion classes held their meetings as usual and reports indicate
that nearly all were pleased at the number o f classmates who turned
out at the reunions. Only one o f the reunion classes failed in point o f
numbers and this was due to the failure o f the President to appoint
his committees in time to secure satisfactory results.
During the past year, I have been able to visit a' number o f County
and City Reunions and Banquets. I wish it were possible fo r everyone
to belong to one o f these associations. It is worth while for us to get

the normal, school, herald

*

together frequently and to sit around a banquet table at least once a
year and swap reminisences with our neighbors.
Elsewhere in the Herald the material growth o f our Alm a Mater
has been stressed. It seems hardly possible to those who remember
the school when its attendance was less than 300 to realize that during
the past year 1094 different students were in attendance.
I f any o f us hoped that the Cumberland Valley Normal School
would becom e. one o f the large Normal Schools o f the State, that
ambition has been more than realized. But I trust you will ^agree with
me that there are more important things fo r us than growth in numbers.
W e are anxious to have 600 strong young men and women with us
during the coming year. The eight month school term makes another
Spring Term o f nine weeks impossible. This will avoid the coming^ in
o f large crowds for the nine weeks spring term and will make it possible
for us to keep the school at the six hundred mark. W e want all o f you
to continue to help us secure strong and efficient young men and women
from your community. Y ou can render no better service to us and to
the State than to use your influence in pursuading those whom you
have reason to believe would make satisfactory teachers to come to us.
W e shall try to make them feel at home with us and to convince them
that they have made no mistake in coming to the school that you
recommended. W e realize that the continued growth and prosperity o f
the school has been made possible through your unfailing loyalty. W e
want you to keep in close touch with us in every possible way. I f we can
serve you in any way in helping you get a better position, don t hesitate to
call on us. W e want you to inform us o f your work from time to time,
so that..we may share the good news with your friends through the
Alumni column. The teacher is at last coming to his own. Let us prove
that it was worth while for the State to raise the standards and increase
the salaries o f teachers, by making the com ing year the best and most
successful year in our history.
W ith best wishes, I am
Fraternally yours,
E Z R A L E H M A N , ’89.

Commencement Season at tlie N orm a l
SENIOR BANQUET
The 1922 Commencement season at Shippensburg Normal opened
with the banquet to the senior class by the faculty and board o f trustees.
Miss McWilliams, school dietician, arranged an unusually inviting menu
for this occasion. A t the conclusion o f the banquet Dr. Lehman acting
as toastmaster introduced the speakers who responded to the following
toasts: “The D oor to Success is Labeled ‘ Push’,” Chas. Warren, Pres­
ident o f class; “ The Third Rail,” R oy Dibert, class orator; “ N ow and
Then,” P rof. L. C. K rebs; “ Personality,” Mary Snively; “ Ships That
Pass in the Night,” ': Myrtle M ayberry; “ The Trustees,” Hon. Quinn T.
Mickey. A t the conclusion o f the toasts all joined in singing “ Aimer
Mater” and Auld Lang Syne.”

BACCALAUREATE SERVICES
The baccalaureate services were held Sunday at 8 p. m. The class
occupied the front part o f the chapel and the ministers o f the town with
Dr. Lehman had seats upon the rostrum. The invocation was given
by Rev, R. S. Bowers o f the Memorial Lutheran Church; follow ed by
scripture reading, Joshua 1:1-9, by Rev. H. E. Crow o f the Methodist
Churchy after which the Girl’s Choral . Society rendered Rosini’s
“ Charity.” Rev. H. D. Emmert o f the Church o f the Brethren, offered
prayer and a quartette consisting o f Messrs. Hoerner, Schwartz, Means
and C roft sang “ The Glory o f His Name.” The baccalaureate sermon
was delivered by Rev. Robert Bagnell, D. D., Ph. D., o f Grace Methodist
Episcopal Church, Harrisburg. His theme was “ God’s Call to Heroism.”
The address was an earnest, inspiring message to the young men and
women. The speaker emphasized the difficulties as well as the op­
portunities that awaited the graduates. H e stressed also the heroism
o f private life as manifested in the uncomplaining ability o f men and
women to play a man’s or a woman’s part in the work o f the world. The
hymn “ Onward Christian Soldiers,” was used as a recessional and the
benediction was pronounced by Rev. J. B. Crawford o f the Middle Spring
Presbyterian Church.

CLASS DAY ADDRESS
Monday at 10 a. m. P rof. L. C. Krebs delivered his address to the
senior class. His subject was “ The T elescope.® A t the conclusion o f
his address the president o f the class called P rof. Krebs and Mary
Snively, the class deans, to the front and presented them with suitable
tokens o f the regard o f the class for their services.

MUSICALE
The musical program rendered Monday night was one of. the finest
ever presented at the Normal School. Miss W right’s students furnished
the m ajor part o f the program. The vocal and instrumental selections

th e:

were pleasingly interspersed. The follow ing persons were on the pro­
gram : Zota Rice, Garnette Frye, Hazel Frye, Mary Nesbit, Laura
Weibley, V iola Shuler, John Neill, Kathryn Hazelet, Marian Rummel,
Janet Shearer, Orville Fox, Harry Markley, Mildred Shambaugh, Maude
Nesbit, Ira Knepper, Mildred Smith, Eleanor Addams.

CLASS DAY
The big event o f commencement week is Class Day. Tlie exercises
were largely attended by the friends and relatives o f the graduates who
came from all parts o f the State. Updegrove’s Orchestra furnished the
music. The exercises opened with the presidents address by Charles
Warren o f Shippensburg. A fter a few words o f welcome Mr. Warren
mentioned the many advantages which the school had offered fo r mental,
physical and moral development. H e said that opportunity did not come,
but had to be sought and that what to one person might appear to be an
utter impossibility and unsurmountable difficulty, might to another be
looked upon as a great opportunity. The man who waits for opportunity
to find him is usually a failure, while the person who makes his oppor­
tunities is on the road to success.
R oy Dibert o f Pavia, delivered the class oration. His theme was
“ Democracy.” The speaker said “ The old idea had prevailed in Germany,
Austria and Turkey that kings possessed a divine right to rule. These
countries fought the battles o f imperialism and lost. Let us hope that
out o f the present w orld contentions there may come a greater conscious­
ness o f the value o f dem ocracy; a realization that democracy is a thing
born, not out o f the struggle o f opposing interests and clashing pre­
judices but out o f the body o f common opinion and mutual feelings.” ,
Mildred K. Warncke o f Treichlers, Pa., was class historian. She
brought out in an interesting manner the most important accomplishments
o f the claass since they enrolled as freshmen fou r years ago. The history
was presented in fou r chapters, each including the most important events
o f a school year. The class had been unusually successful in many
lines o f endeavor and the history revealed a marked degree o f growth
from beginning to end.
The mantle oration was delivered by W imbert Neely o f New O xford,
Pa., who spoke on “ The Value o f an Ideal.” A high ideal is essential to
success in life. America has always been faithful to her ideal o f liberty
and justice. A t the close o f his address the speaker presented the mantle!
o f the class o f 1922 to M ary Goodyear o f the junior class. Miss
Goodyear, in accepting, spoke o f the responsibilities symbolized by it and
pledged her class to carry on the work and ideals o f the school.
The class will was read by Catherine W eaver o f Macungie, Pa. Miss
W eaver’s bequests departed somewhat from the conventional type us­
ually found in class wills. H er handling o f the theme showed that Miss
W eaver appreciated and took advantage o f all the humerous possibilities
open to her.

The class song was then sung. This was the composition o f Charles

ALUMNI RALLY
The alumni procession is one o f the important features o f the com ­
mencement season. Though the attendance this year did not compare
with that o f last year when 6000 persons, including more than 1000
alumni were present to commemmorate the 50th anniversary o f the laying
o f the com er stone o f the main building, there was a fine turnout o f
representatives o f all classes. The classes o f ’82, ’92, ’97, '02, T2, and
’20, held reunions follow ed by banquets.
Dr. Lehman, principal o f the school, welcomed the Alumni. He
spoke o f the remarkable growth o f the school during the past 10 years.
In 1912 there were 250 students in attendance. This year 1094 were
enrolled. H e also spoke o f the contemplated improvements which will
be made during the coming year. H e called upon the Alumni to rally
to the support o f Superintendent o f Public Instruction Dr. Thomas E.
Fin'egan in the work that he is doing. H e characterized the Finegan pro­
gram as the most far reaching piece o f educational work that had
ever been attempted in Pennsylvania, to put first among the states o f the
union. He showed how little had actually been added to the financial
burden o f the people in carrying out a program that will give equal
educational opportunity to every child in Pennsylvania.
Other speakers on the program were Dr. J. C. Devenney, ’82, Har­
risburg; Supt. J. C. Wagner, ’92, Carlisle; Paul B. Faust, T2, Harris­
burg, and S. W . Shearer, ’20, Lewistown.
The follow ing officers were elected for the ensuing year. President,
G. W ill Henry, ’99, Penbrook, P a.; V ice President, S. M. Stouffer, T2,
Hanover, P a.; Secretary, Myrtle Mayberry, ’07, Shippensburg, P a.;
Treasurer, O. C. Bishop, Oberlin, Pa.

ALUMNI PLANS
A large, standing room only crowd was present in the Normal
School chapel to witness the tw o plays— “ The Traitor” by Percival W ilde
and “ The Old Peabody Pew” by Kate Douglas W iggin on Tuesday evening.
The first o f these is a thrilling one-act play dealing with an event in the
Boer W ar. The cast was made up o f Wimbert Neely as Col. Anstruther,
Ralph Heiges as M aj. MacLaren, Frank Eberly as Captain Grantham,
Louis Dorian as Captain Parker, Hurn Diller as Captain Bates, George
W o lf as Captain Willoughby, and Arthur Easterbrook as Lieutenant
Edwards. The parts o f the orderly and guard were taken by John
Mountz and Charles Pyle.
“ The Old Peabody Pew” is a quaint old talky play but with splendid
opportunity fo r character portrayal. It was in marked contrast to the
first play presented. Maud Keister was the reader and the other parts
were taken by the follow ing persons: Mrs. Baxter by Cleo Conner,

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES
The chapel was crowded to its capacity on Wednesday morning to
witness the closing exercises o f the school year, the graduation o f the
large senior class. Rev. J. D. Lindsay o f the Shippensburg Presbyterian
Church, delivered the invocation after which Mildred Smith sang “ W ere
M y Song W ith W ings Provided.”
The three commencement honor numbers were the recitation from
V ictor Hugo “ Jean Valjean and the Bishop” by Helen Fisher o f Greencastle ; oration “ A great City, Simplicity” by R oy Dibert o f Pavia, and an
essay “ Alice Freeman Palmer and the Higher Education o f W om en”
by Mary Funk o f Shippensburg.

PRINCIPAL LEHMAN’S ADDRESS TO GRADUATES
The commencement address was then delivered by the Principal Dr,
Ezra Lehman. His subject was “A t the End o f the Rainbow.” Dr.
Lehman spoke as follow s :
Ladies and Gentlemen :
F or a number o f years past I have been privileged to address the
graduating class at this institution on various subjects. I find that these
have all been o f an entirely practical character, dealing with the work
o f the teacher, his duties and his privileges. On this occasion, however,
I have determined to give myself thé privilege o f speaking on a subject
that has at least a poetic connotation especially when compared with
most o f the subjects upon which I have addressed previous classes. So
I turn from such prosaic themes as “ Campaigning fo r Pennsylvania” and
“ What a Teacher has a Right to Expect from a Community” to the
m ore poetic one “A t the End o f the Rainbow.” I chose this subject not
because I deem this class less poetic than its predecessors and, therefore,
more in need o f idealistic appeal but because I realize that in times like
these the members o f the class will have the practical considerations o f
life thrust upon them before the sounds o f farewell from school and
classmates have died away from their ears. It is my hope that the
rainbow ideals that they have cherished may not be too abruptly dissi­
pated by the glaring light o f actual life.
Members o f the Graduating Class : D o you remember when you first
saw the rainbow spanning the sky and were told by someone that if
you would but journey to the end o f that bow you would find pots o f gold,
great sums o f money,— in short untold wealth?— or perhaps she who told
you the story o f faring forth may have said, as her clear eyes seemed
to glimpse something beyond the ken o f ordinary men and women.
“ Y ou will find happiness at the end o f the rainbow” and did you then

14

TH E

NORMAL

SCHOOL

H ERALD

venture forth through the long lush grass while the rain was yet falling
to be firsflfat the end o f that elusive bow— only to have it vanish from
your sight with its end unnoted and its treasure uncharted ?
D o you remember, tod, that when you were just a little older and
were handling some o f the seemingly commonplace things o f life in the
physics or chemical laboratory, suddenly some o f the secrets, the very
arcana o f life, were revealed to you. Then you discovered that when
you took a triangular shaped piece o f glass and allowed the sunlight to pass
through it, a rainbow was born and its end lay at your feet. The im­
possible had come to pass 1 The rainbow was smaller, it is true than the
one whose end you had . sought as it Ktretched across, the clouds,
but just as perfectly form ed in its prismatic colors.
Perhaps then you realized that every myth, every fairy story,—yes,
every fable, was gloriously true when the mists and fogs were cleared
away by thé sunlight o f God’s universe. D id you also realize that the
treasure, the success, the happiness for which you had longed lay at
your feet?
And so, my young friends, on this your graduation day, I want you
to believe that every wish you have formed and every hope you have
entertained is already fulfilled or will be, when you realize that the end
o f the rainbow is even now where you are— and what is still more important— the end o f the rainbow will move as you move and will be
wherever you are. Y ou have a right to everything that you find at the
end o f the bow. There will be no question o f disputed possession, no
court will issue injunction proceeding against you, provided—one thing
only—you can bear the weight o f thei||reasure on your own shoulders.
W hat could be fairer than that— and yet let me warn you that thousands
of;im en .and ; women have failed to enjoy the treasure that they might
have had because they were either unable or unwilling to carry it
■themselves.
It is a commonplace o f psychology that every conscious act or en­
deavor originates in a desire for the possession o f something—be it
money, pleasure, power or fame. It is also a truism that the thing shall
be sought for its ability to bring happiness to the possessor.
A few ■yëàrs ago you had completed a high school course here or
in some other place. The goal toward which you had been striving
had been reached, but the rainbow beckoned you and again you set forth.
I know not what you sought at the end o f the bow. It may have been
merely a desire to do something,— to go on because you had not arrived
at a stopping place that appealed to you. Thus you may have come to
this school because it offered the path o f least resistance. It was the
nearest school to you and you. could attend it with least expenditure o f
time and effort o r it may be that you drifted into this institution because
father, mother or brother o r sister were graduates or form er students
or perhaps free tuition and lower rates made a strong appeal to you.
I f thesjjlwere the animating purposes o f your course you; have at­
tained them. Y ou have been spared the expenditure o f large sums o f
money—you have kept what you might have expended under other con-

U

ditions. Y ou are about to be graduated from the institution that enrolled
your friends and relatives. Y ou have your desire; you are at the end
o f the bow. But let me remind you, members o f the class, that there
has been nothing particularly noble in your achievement. The strength
that comes from the exercise o f mental and moral muscle is wanting for
the fiber o f our inner being is toughened and strengthened by use just
as is the fiber o f our physical being. A member o f the faculty o f a large
eastern college has made a careful study o f the lives and records o f its
graduates. It finds that only ten per cent, o f those alumni who lived
within a radius o f ten miles o f the college distinguished themselves in
after life. On the other hand, twenty per cent, who lived within the
next ten mile radius attained distinction. So in like manner he shows
that as the distance that the student lived from the college increased,
his chance o f success increased, until at last he found that the percentage
o f students living more than 300 miles from the college who won places
fo r themselves was seventy-five. H e also shows that another important
factor to be considered was the wealth o f the student; the poorer the
student the greater his chance o f ultimate success.
I am well aware that a record o f this kind is fair game for the
columnist o f the newspaper and that any one will be able to show that
many other factors contribute to the apparent result. But I can not help
pointing to the fact that there is nothing strained or unnatural in the
conclusions reached. I have often wondered whether a survey o f this
school would not show that the student who was compelled to make
financial sacrifice, who was compelled to make his own way, who travelled
nine or ten miles every day, who chose to come here in the face o f real
hardship— had attained place and position not secured by the mass o f
those to whom attendance at school meant little sacrifice and practically
no hardship.
But now the prize is yours, the end that you sought has been attained.
Y ou all receive the same certificate and yet you have paid different prices
for it. Y ou r certificate o f graduation may resemble that given him or
her who sits beside you and yet the two will not be identical— one
has woven into it high endeavor. Into its fiber has gone the tested and
tried web o f mental growth the other is sham and shoddy, it represents
work done by others, it is made o f the pretenses o f life rather than the
realities. On its face it declares that its holder is a true man—■
a true
woman, but its deceit will soon be revealed. Don’t deceive yourselves,
your diploma is worth just as much as you are— not a whit more. The
seal o f this institution placed upon the bit o f paper that you receive may
help you at the beginning to secure place and position but it won’t keep
you there. The world was never so critical as it is now. It was never
so willing to pay for real worth, nor so unwilling to pay fo r sham.
A t the end o f the rainbow you bear away just as much treasure as
your physical, mental and moral being can carry—not one scruple more.
Perhaps some o f you looked forward to a season when you could
earn more money as a teacher than you were earning. Y ou believed that
a time would come when the teacher should receive a salary more nearly

1«

THE

normal school, herald

comparable with that received in other lines o f endeavor. Y ou hoped
possibly rather than believed that this would come to pass at the end o f
the bow. W ell it has come to pass. Y ou r salaries will be larger than
they ever were before. Y our communities will pay more in teachers’
salaries than they have ever paid. Tlie teacher is beginning to be paid
■yvages: more nearly commensurate with those paid in other callings.
But the public will measure and test yesji as it never tested teachers before—
and it is right that it should do so. I f it pays journeyman’s wages it will
not be satisfied with an apprentice’s work. Yougfi&ve been trained to
look upon teaching as a profession for which four years of. high school
study follow ed by at least two years o f special training may properly be
required. Y on have been encouraged to regard it as a calling, demanding
continued growth and development. Y ou have been instructed that your
work will not be confined to your school room but that it will take in
everything that makes for the good o f your community. Consequently
we expect to find you active in the work o f the Church, the Sunday school,
the Y. M. or Y. W . C. A., the Civic Club and every organization that
makes for the good o f the community. I have .found that usually when
a community is opposed to an increase in the salary o f teachers its op­
position is based on the notion that it will be required to pay a higher
salary for the sainé type o f teaching that it received when it paid a lower
salary. Much o f this opposition is therefore understandable, but higher.
Salaries are justified only on the ground that to get better teachers we
must pay better salaries— such salaries, as will attract strong men and
women. W e believe that our boys and girls are entitled to the best
teaching that can be given them— that the boy and the girl in the country
are entitled tp educational opportunities equal to those assured the pupils
in the schools o f the town. I f you are not better teachers than the men
and women who did not have your educational opportunities, you do not
deserve the salary that you find awaiting y o u ; but if you are live men
and women, striving to make your communities better, to bring sweetness
and light into the lives Of your pupils, you will find that your record
will be known in other places and that you will receive a compensation
suited to your service.
Much o f the unrest that has lately been so marked in teaching circles
has been due to the fact that the community has been striving -for a
better or at least a different type o f service. Boards o f directors have
not always chosen wisely or w ell; they have sometimes dismissed a super­
intendent or teacher because he had the courage to oppose tendencies
that he believed unwise and to advocate progressive though unpopular
policies.
The harm to the superintendent or teacher is temporary, but the loss to
the district is hard to remedy. It is my belief that every really strong
teacher eventually advances to the position for which he is qualified.
You, my young friends will find just as much money at the end o f the
rainbow as you are able to carry,— in short, as you are worth.
Did any o f you hope that you might find a magic wand at the end
o f your journey? A wand that would draw men and women to you;

TH E

NORMAL. SCHOOL

H ERALD

17

that would make you respected, loved and sought after—that would in
short make you a leader? W ell—wonderful to say^—it is found in the
treasure chest that is yours— It is a wand that is always found at the
end o f every physical, intellectual or moral progress. On it is graven
“T o him who can.”
M y friends, there has never been a time when the w orld did not
need a leader;— the vast majority o f men and women are sluggards in­
tellectually and morally. They do not want to think for themselves;
they will sweat under burdens well nigh intolerable and will follow in
the beaten' tracks o f form er times rather than make new roads for
themselves. They await the coming o f the man or woman who will
speak with the voice o f authority or— alas that it should be so— o f pre­
tended authority. It listens to every one who speaks confidently or
forcefu lly; hence the crowd is as likely to follow the pretender and
the demagogue as the real leader;— perhaps even more likely because
the form er speaks with the utmost confidence on all matters, no matter
how little he may know or how poor his judgment may be. Not even
the wildest vagary in politics, education and religion has wanted for
followers when a loud mouthed agitator appeared to advocate its adoption.
But the fickle crowd usually turned upon its leader when it detected
the unsoundness o f his position. H ow different is the world’ s treatment
o f the real leader. It refuses at first to follow him since he speaks with
modesty and deference. H e holds out no promise that the thing that
he advocates will be the golden panacea fo r all the ills o f life. He does
not flatter the crowd. He utters certain necessary truths that are often
galling to the pride o f the community. The presence and voice o f the
real leader invariably awakens the demagogue, who denounces the plans
that would make for the betterment o f the community—o f the race. He
flatters the voice o f the crowd,— and the crowd denounces the man or
woman who would lead it along the paths o f progress. It attacks him
cruelly, vilely. It insults him by questioning his honesty and sincerity.
It ridicules his motives. It seeks to exile him, to drive him from public
life— and when its passions are allowed full sway it sends him to death.
Call the roll o f the w orld’s great intellectual and spiritual leaders,
Savonarola, Luther, Wesley, Robert Emmet, Wendell Phillips. A ll suf­
fered from the hatred o f the mob. But the years pass and the men
who hurled the stone or lighted the torch see with clear eye and undimmed
vision the real worth o f the leader they denounced and they erect mon­
uments in his honor and hail him as one o f the immortals.
A nd now my young friends, I want to pass quickly from these gen­
eralizations to a few specific applications to modern times. D o you aspire
to leadership? I trust you do— for unless you want to stand in the
front o f your communities, you are not worthy the recognition that will
soon be conferred upon you in the name o f the state. There are just a
few qualities tha||you must have: a backbone, not a mere collection
o f vertebrae strung together; a mind o f your own not a phonograph
reproducing impressions received from others; a will that is the captain
o f your soul. Y ou must add to these good humor, tolerance for the

opinions o f others, tact combined with firmness in asserting what you
know to be right. Y ou w i l need all o f these to keep your poise when
you are misunderstood, attacked, ridiculed, repulsed, but not defeated. ^
Y ou have been enrolled in an army where every soldier is on picket
duty; where you must work in many lef p H 'separate and apart from

You must be leader|| You must not- be narrowly partisan, but you
must be in politics for the good o f the children o f the state. Y ou will

affairs in Pennsylvania. Political demagogues have talked to them about
rCat expenditures o f money for education, but they have not explained
that the total spent for our schools in 1911 was 26.2 cents out o f every
dollar o f the general appropriation and in 1921, it was 26.3 cents. Cer­
tainly an increase o f 1-10 cent in ten years, to give longer school terms,
fietter qualified teachers, to raisll Pennsylvania from its position o f
twenty-first among the States o f the Union, is not an extravagance.

T o you men and women, citizens o f this sovereign state, I also appeal.

that has not been said on occasions like these to other classes ? Class suc­

certificate carrying certain privileges, just as did those who occupied
your places on this rostrum in the years that have passed. Y et in this
seeming similarity, the members o f the faculty, who have watched the
classes come and go, will be able to point out striking diversities. Every
class has a personality o f its own— and 1i f recognizing this fact, I were
to characterize you as you appear to me, I would say that while you may
not have furnished as many honor group students as some other classes
or as many outstanding young men and women in various fields o f en­
deavor, your teachers will watch your progress with great interest because
you number among you .a? group who have learned to think fo r them­
selves, who have initiative and a type o f executive ability that should
enable this class to furnish the world with leaders o f whom this institution
may be proud in thè years to come. W e shall watch your progress. Y ou
have been given more professional training than other classes and it is
fortunate that you have been thus trained for the world will demand
more o f you than it has demanded o f your predecessors. Y ou step 'into

seemingly unappreciated. Let me say to you that at such times, I trust
the ideals o f the old school, the teaching o f the class room—but still
more the lives o f the men and women who have been your councellors
and advisors may appeal to you and cause you to live worthy o f the best
that is in you. Don’t give up your ideals even if you go into the most
backward school o f your county. Remember that in the score o r more
o f children who gather around you there are potential leaders groping
toward the light. Be it yours to raise the curtains that shut out life’s
wide stretching horizon and to bring that message greater than any
radio call from the clouds, the sympathetic appeal o f an earnest sincere
man or woman to the best instincts and the noblest impulses in the hidden
recesses o f the child’s brain.
In conclusion, don’t fail to continue to be students. Know books—
and men and women, keep in touch with the work that great teachers
are doing. And above all don’t fail to sit at the feet o f the Great
Teacher— who taught as never man taught; who glorified childhood and
gave a splendor and a meaning to life that has lifted the labor o f the
teacher above that o f any craftman or artificer.
Do-you seek the-treasure at the end o f the rainbow?
Behold it is here !”
Dr. Lehman’s address was follow ed by the commencement chorus
“ Daybreak” after which certificates o f graduation were awarded to 123
members o f the graduating class.
The winner o f the 1908 prize for the highest scholastic record o f a
four year student was Frances Brenneman o f Mechanicsburg, with
honorable mention o f Ralph E. Heiges o f Shippensburg. The winner o f
the 1916 Public Speaking Contest was Maud P. Keister o f New Cum­
berland, with honorable mention o f Mary C. H oover, Harrisburg, and
Harold G. Ritz, Lashley.
Prizes o f books for excellence in debating were awarded Wimbert
Neely, New O xford, and Florence Davis. Harrisburg.
The prize offered by the Girl’s Athletic Association for the greatest
number o f credits earned by a girl student was won by Grace Henry o f
Clear Ridge.
Dr. Lehman reviewed briefly the work o f the past year with its
record breaking attendance o f 1094 students. He spoke o f the improve­
ments that will be made in the athletic field, that will result in the ad­
dition o f a number o f extra tennis courts, a running track, the re­
arrangement o f the baseball, football and hockey fields, the equipment
o f a new bowling alley in the gymnasium, the building o f a large school
garage and the introduction o f a number o f improvements in the
dormitories that will add much to the com fort o f all students.

PRESENTATION BY CLASS OF 1920
A pleasing number o f the Commencement Exercises was one that
was not listed on the program. Mr. S. W . Shearer the President o f the
Class, presented a gift o f one hundred dollars to the Principal on behalf

o f his class. The only stipulation in connection with the gift was that
it be spent in further equipping the Infirmary.
The class o f 1920 is to be especially commended for collecting this
sum and thus making it at once available.
When the money pledged by the Classes o f 1918 and 1919 is received,
the Infirmary will be equipped in a manner that will make it among the
finest in the State.

TRAINING SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT
The Training School Commencement was one o f the pleasing events
that marked the close o f the school term. N o prouder class ever received
diplomas than the twenty-five young people o f the ninth grade, and
hardly would any one venture to say that any class was more deserving.
The Normal School chapel was beautifully decorated and filled with
admiring parents and friends o f the graduates.— A lso with the directors
o f the training school who gave so richly o f their time, and patience for
these young people witnessed the event with much real jo y and satis­
faction, and not the least was the pleasure o f the student teachers who
fo r the first time had the experience o f seeing the graduation o f boys
and girls whom they taught.
A very appropriate program was very beautifully rendered. The
stiltedness and accustomed formalities not to say the sameness so much
in evidence in the usual graduation exercises were pleasingly absent.
The occasion was fresh with originality and ideas intended to instruct as
well as to entertain. The commencement address was made by P rof.
J. K. Stewart o f the Normal School. P rof. Stewart in his own clear and
forceful manner spoke on the subject; “ Things that Count” . His ad­
dress was full o f wholesome suggestions and good advice. It was es­
pecially pleasing also to have Dr. Lehman with us to present the diplomas.

Als||bv her parents, two .sisters, Sarah and Louetta, and two brothers,
Oliver and Scouller, all o f Newville. The funeral was held Monday

sympathy o f the entire community is extended to the bereaved survivors.”

Miss Belle Stewart Filey was an employe o f the normal school for
more than 35 years. W e print the follow ing tribute to her written by
Mrs. Stewart:
NEW MAN
The friends o f P rof. Newman were much distressed to learn o f his
death at W est Chester. P rof. Newman was a form er teacher at normal
and was loved and respected by both teachers and students and his
death comes as a loss to us.
W e have the follow ing account from a W est Chester paper:
“ A t his home on South Walnut street, P rof. J. Frank Newman, dean
o f the W est Chester State Normal School, slept hi.s life away, about 10
o’clock yesterday morning. He was in his 44th year, and fo r about four
years had been suffering from diabetes.
On the opening day o f the Summer School fo r grade teachers, in the
High School, about two weeks ago, he was present, but since then he
had not been strong enough to ieave the house. One week ago today
he was down stairs fo r the last time.
Through all his illness, although he realized it was a losing fight,
he displayed the greatest courage and continuous cheer. H e continued
his work in the Normal School office daily, and was greatly interested in
doing everything possible for the students. A t home he studied much and
at odd times amused himself with handicraft, being an adept with tools.
H e made wren boxes fo r his son, and many knick-knacks about the
house. A s long as he was able to g o about, he continued his work,
dictating correspondence, until within a day or two o f his death.
H e had been a member o f the faculty here for twelve years, teaching
sciences, and for the past eight years had served as dean, making out the
piogrammes fo r the students and helping the Seniors to find situations.
H e was born in Fayetteville, Franklin county, and received his
preparatory education at the Chambersburg Academy, afterward at­
tending Gettysburg College, where he received the degree o f Master o f
Arts. Later he attended the University o f Pennsylvania, where he would
have received the degree o f D octor o f Science, in geography, geology and
education in a short time, if his health had permitted. H e belonged to
the Episcopal Church and to the Blue Lodge, F. & A. M., in Shippensburg.
H e is survived by his mother, who has been making her home here
fo r some time, and also a brother, William Newman, in Waynesboro,
and a sister, Mrs. Horace Harbourt, o f Titisville, Pa.
H e married Miss Maude Baldwin, o f Harrisburg, who has been a
wonderful help to him in his work, taking up his teaching when his work

as dean demanded all his time, and then doing his work as dean when he
became too ill to. look after the details himself. H er devotion and ability
have given her a high place in the estimation o f those who know her.
They have one son, Franklin, a bright lad o f four and a half years.
Classes in the two Summer Schools will be suspended ^during the
hours o f the funeral.
It has been arranged that the funeral services shall be conducted by
Rev. Edward C. Ninde, pastor o f the Methodist Episcopal Church, in the
absence o f Rev. John Mills Gilbert, pastor o f the Church o f the H oly
Trinity, who is out o f town. Acting pall bearers will be P rof. Charles E.
Martz, P rof. C. Edward Hausknecht, A rja Hawley, John A . Kinneman,
George S. Roberts, Trevor Roberts, all o f the Normal School, and thé
other male members o f the Faculty will serve as honorary bearers. These
arrangements have been made after consultation with Dr. Andrew Thomas
Smith, Principal o f the school.
RHEA
Mrs. Martha Rhea who has been fo r the last year matron in the
normal dining room died on July 3, at the home o f her son in Harrisburg.
Mrs. Rhea had been in failing health fo r some time but only recently was
she compelled to give up her work at the normal. H er many friends
will miss her very much.
H A IN
The normal friends were shocked last week to learn o f the death o f
Ethel M. Hain o f Newport, who had been a student with us during last
year. Miss Hain was with some friends near Carlisle and fell from
a-cherry tree and fractured her spine. She was taken to the hospital
and everything possible was done for her but nothing could save her
and she passed away the next day.
IN M E M O R IA M
“ A fter a year o f suffering from tuberculosis, Belle Stewart Filey
passed quietly away on last Thursday morning in the old home o f her
father and mother just north o f Shippensburg. Only tw o o f the Filey
family now are living, a brother and sister in Mt. Holly, Pa., Cumberland
Co. Every one is born into the world to do some specific thing and do
it better than any one else. Bell Filey was born to serve others. She
began her domestic career in the home o f Gen. M iddlecoff and served
him as long as he lived. She then came 'to the Normal School and
fo r over 35 years was a faithful servant to this institution. She had
various positions in the school, worked- in the laundry, in the kitchen,
matron to the girls; always at the post o f duty, early in the morning!
through rain, snow, heat, ever patient to the girls in sickness and health,
carrying their meals and helping them generally. Many a girl that
graduated in the past years will rise up and call her- blessed. The fine old
type o f faithful service is fast disappearing and with the death o f this old

A delightful feature o f the closing o f the w ork o f the first semester
in the training school was an exhibit in which the w ork o f the various
subjects that were taught during the semester was placed on display in
the different class rooms. Many ideas in teaching were expressed in the
different specimens exhibited. Art, Arithmetic, Geography, History, Eng­
lish, Spelling, Writing, Hygiene, General Science, and Latin all had a
place in the exhibit.
The exhibit was held) on Thursday afternoon, February 2 ; at twothirty the doors were opened fo r visitors and over 200 parents and friends
passed through the building and observed the w ork on display. A t three
everybody gathered in the Assembly room, where a short exhibit was given
in physical training under the direction o f Esther Smith and Grace Henry.
This was follow ed by an address to the patrons by Dr. Lehman, who
spoke very appreciatively o f the type o f work that is being done in the
training schools and pointed out advantages which our boys and girls have
which are not enjoyed by children o f other schools. Each visitor was
served w ith'cocoa and w afers by a group o f teachers.
There was a three-fold aim in an exhibit o f this kin d; first, it offered
an opportunity for motivation in the classroom ; the children worked a
number o f weeks preparing fo r the exhibit and were anxious to make a
good showing;, In the second place it afforded an opportunity fo r the
teachers to bring their w ork together at the close o f the semester, and
present it fo r inspection. Another worth-while purpose o f the exhibit was
the bringing o f the parents together in a community meeting to inspect
the w ork done by their ch ild re ^ H
The follow ing is a brief description o f the w ork in Art, as exhibited.
E X H IB IT IN P R IM A R Y G RO U P
The exhibit o f the lower grades showed a wide range o f subject
matter and different media fo r expression. There was drawing first by
means o f splints in which the various activities o f children were repre­
sented in the simplest manner possible, follow ed by pencil drawings o f
the same and! this by the “filled or massed in’’ drawings o f the same
activities, and these, in turn, were follow ed by freehand cut-outs repre­
senting the same activities, w hichK icluded games and sports and chil­
dren’s chores about the home. T o draw is almost as natural fo r a child as
to eat; by the above means the children are taught to present their ideas
in a fa ir ® intelligent manner.
The exhibit showed a correlation with other school subjects; fo r
example, art was combined with hygiene in the small poster showing the
happiness o f Carrots, turnips, pumpkins, potatoes, when the children ate
them ; these vegetables were represented with happy faces, arms and legs

historical episodes were illustrated with drawings and cut out illustra­
tions. Special days as Hallowe’en and Thanksgiving Day w ere remem­
bered. Baskets and bowls o f fruits were some o f the Puritan pictures
worked up in colored papers were made in connection with stories told
about the origin o f Thanksgiving Day. The seasons were represented with
colored crayon pictures in some grades and cut-out pictures in others,
the one in second grade being used as a calendar mount.
W ork in construction was represented by paper toys, wagons, sleds,
drums, candy baskets, many o f which were employed as Christmas tree
decorations. In these rooms were also shown the window decorations
which the children made and with which all o f the windows in the entire
building were decorated throughout the month o f December.
Booklets were constructed and decorated. The contents were designs
from circles, squares, triangles, and combinations o f these forms. Snow­
flakes, designed and cut out, form ed another booklet. G ood form s fo r
mugs and bowls were represented with cut-outs from colored paper, sim­
ply decorated. A n example o f the study o f worthwhile pictures was ex­
hibited in two o f the gradés by means o f the sm all. picture, 3x3^4 In
second grade, 55^ x 8 in third grade.

Fourth Grade
The art work o f the fourth grade was a very interesting feature o f
the Training School exhibition. The mounted w ork filled the entire front
wall. Those who saw it were very much pleased with the w ork done by
the little fourth-grade children.
T o those who were not here perhaps a conception can be given by
describing the work. It can be divided into fou r distinct parts, cut-out
work, crayon and pencil drawings, picture studies, and construction work.
The cut-out w ork was chiefly poster work. The aims in this work
were always double. They not only teach the pupil to become more
efficient and neat, but teach stories o f history, etc. Some o f the sub­
jects o f the posters were as follow s : A n A rbor Day poster,” “ Prevention
o f Forest Fires,” a Hallowe’en poster, the “ Landing o f Columbus,” a cut­
out to teach design, showing one end o f a room containing a chair, win­
dow, table with lamp and bowl o f fruit artistically arranged; there was
also a bowl and vase cut-out, special care having been given to the tops
and bottoms o f the bowl and vase, a study in ellipses. There were two
other studies, a “ Fall Hat Sale” and a “ Forest Friend” poster.
In the crayon and pencil drawings the pupils made drawings o f trees
and o f “ stick” figures representing action. They also made a pencil draw­
ing o f the landing o f Columbus.
In the picture studies the children mounted thé small Perry pictures
and studied them. The teacher, by questioning, helped them to get a clear
meaning o f the pictures. The stories o f the lives o f the artists and o f the
pictures were also studied.

Then in the construction work the pupils made pen wipers, blotters,
napkin rings, paper cutters, and flower sticks. In making the napkin rings
the pupils learned how to use raffia. They drew, painted, and cut out the
birds for the flower sticks. The paper knives were whittled from pieces
o f wood and after being symmetrically shaped were sand-papered and
enameled and small designs were painted on the handles.
In all the work special attention was given to artistic arrangement
and harmonizing color schemes.

F ifth Grade
The art exhibit fo r Fifth Grade was one main feature in the Training
School exhibit. One end of the Fifth Grade room was taken up with the
art display.
The work exhibited consisted o f construction work, as card boxes
made o f oak-tag paper and decorated with cut-out designs; accordion
books fo r post card views o f Shippensburg; pen-wipers made from card­
board which was covered and decorated with contrasting cut-out designs;
and calendars fo r 1922, which made use o f the small size o f the P erry
pictures. The pictures were ‘The Children of the Shell,” by Murillo.
Posters made from a color study were both painted and cut out.
The study was that of bowls with oranges and apples well grouped.
These were very attractive and added a great deal to the exhibit. Blotters
were made and decorated with a painted design with the word “ Blotter”
painted in the center.
There w as an interesting correlation of art and English exhibited in
a booklet the contents of which was a Hallowe’en story worked out in
the English class with an appropriate cover worked out in the art class.
Those who saw the exhibit thought it a credit to the grade.

Sixth Grade
The art exhibit in the Sixth Grade was a feature so outstanding that
one’s attention was drawn to it involuntarily. The display was varied in
kind. O f constructive work there were two pieces of work, a stamp-case
or book and a sandwich tray. The stamp-case was made from two tones
o f tan construction paper,, cleverly decorated with cut-out designs. The
sandwich trays were made o f cornhusk twisted and sewed with raffia
There were pencil studies o f various trees on the campus; these were well
grouped and attractively arranged fo r pictorial effect.
The crayon studies in still life were attractive because o f harmony both
in form and color. One was an arrangement o f peppers, red and green,
with a brown stewing kettle, the other, apples shading from yellow to a
rich orange with a bowl of two tones o f blue.
The grade made its first acquaintance with water-color, employing it
as a medium fo r Hallowe’en posters which were creditably executed fo r
a first attempt. Color charts followed. Another attractive poster was one
advertising gold fish; this was executed in colors with cut paper. Thanks-

after, ° bserving the grocery stores in town, decided that
they would like to make a grocery store. First we took a wooden box
and made it into the shape o f a store and covered with light brown paper.
Shelves were placed
in the back and counters in
the front covered with
white paper. The children brought different vegetables from homethey used these vegetables g | m o d e ls and made similar objects out o f
plasticine. Some of the vegetables) made were peas,, beans, apples
peaches pears, potatoes, etc. One o f the boys suggested that they would
like to have a candy counter and at once chocolate buds and bars were
made A little girl asked one day i f it would be all right to make hams
and frankforts and have one com er o f the store fo r a meat market,
bide meat and whole beeves were very cleverly shaped and hung on
nooks made o f wire.
A fte r the vegetables were made the children discovered they had
nothing m which to put them. One o f the pupils suggested making bar­
rels and boxes from oak-tag paper. Different kinds o f cereals and
canned goods were made in forms o f little cans with advertisements from
magazines posted on to represent real cans.
Everything was arranged except the prices. A ll the children tried
to find out at home or in the stores at town the prices of each vegetable
and o f the canned goods. The store was arranged on a table with a
foreground where a man was bringing a load o f vegetables to the store.
A fte r all was complete the teacher introduced the toy money to thé class
and the children bought and sold the different articles. The price o f
various articles was placed upon the tags and the tags used as an adver­
tisement. There were more real fractions used in the second grade in
this work than are found in many lessons on fracitons from a book.
Other projects in the second grade: Time tests every d ay; Armistice
Day posters; Christmas gifts fo r mother—bags; Christmas gifts for
father—calendars and match scratchers; hygiene: drills and gam es; vege­
table poster and a new rhyme composed to suit the poster.

These fine vegetables came out one night
And joined in a frolic o f great delight.
Friend potato headed the band,
Followed by squash who counted the time
And watched that the crowd all marched in straight line.
Carrot, turnip, and onion, too,
Marched in line as all good vegetables do.
The children cried with great delight,
“ You’re our friends forever after to-night!
We’ll raise you or buy you and eat you fo r food,
Which helps to make all children healthy and good.

The sand table used as a project fo r geography and history in third
grade proved very successful. During the first two weeks in December
the children, when studying the “ hot lands,” worked out the desert scene
very well. Palm trees and animals were made from oak-tag and manilla
paper; colored crayons were used to touch up the cut-outs. The children
brought moss, small pebbles, and sawdust to represent the oasis on a
desert. A s the Christmas season was near at hand, the children decided
to portray the story o f “ The Three W ise Men,” and with little extra
work, such as making more animals, wise men, and town o f Bethlehem,
the work proved a success and was much enjoyed.
First grade children are particularly fond o f paper-cutting. In con­
nection with the hygiene taught in this grade, the pupils worked out a
health booklet. A s the lessons were developed, the children- cut out
the letters V , M, and T. Eater, these were mounted on gray paper and
under each letter was pasted a picture, a s :
V-^yegetable, beat and potato,
M—milk, milk can,
T —toothbrush and paste.
On the last page, children placed a cut-out o f Wee Willie Winkie
going to bed. The outside cover of the booklet was decorated with stick
jprinting.
The following rhyme was learned by pupils:
“ V is fo r vegetable better than meat,
M is for milk, both wholesome and sweet,
T is fo r toothbrush used after each meal,
Go to bed early, fo r on the morrow you’ll feel
That all these health stories are as good as can be
F o r each little child, like you and like me.”

The children o f the first grade are very fond o f the Mother Goose
stories and especially do they like to dramatize them. W e discovered that
only a few owned any kind o f story book, so each made a Mother
Goose Story Book. We made the books as large as a printed book so it
would be pleasing from the start. A large white goose was cut out
and placed on the front cover. The children then cut from colored
paper the pictures or cut-outs o f Ja c k B e Nimble, Ja c k and Jill, Little
Bo-Peep, H ickory Dickory Dock, Higgeldy Piggeldy and Little Miss
M uff et. These were pasted' attractively and the pages tied with raffia.
The finished book was a surprising product from a first grade.
In several grades personal story books were made from old readers
and magazines. A whole story was collected and put together with an
outside cover decorated in an appropriate w ay and tied or clipped securely.
Again, a story and one or more pieces o f poetry the child had learned
to like in an old reader were made the contents o f another boy’s story
book. Each child made his own book, cut out the letters to show the
name o f the book and sometimes decorated it with a magazine picture.
The pleasure was in being able to read confidently every story and having
a book o f his own.
Some o f the current stories o f the day may be preserved in this way.
The third grade is making geography and history story books by cutting
out some related stories from newspapers, old books, etc.

CLUB W ORK IN THE INTERMEDIATE GRADES
Last year during Better English Week, the children o f the sixth grade
in the Training School found out that English Clubs had been formed
in sixth grades o f other towns. They imitated others and did likewise.
Throughout the year club meetings were held and attractive programs
given by the pupils. This year those children became Ju nior High people,
and are continuing the good work o f the club.
Several weeks had passed at the beginning o f this school year when
the children o f the sixth grade asked fo r a club similar to the one o f
last year. The outcome o f it was the organization o f “ The Good Citizens’
Club.” This motto was chosen : “ Speak Correctly Each Day.” A com­
mittee o f three drew up the following Constitution, which was adopted
by the club :
C O N S T IT U T IO N
A R T IC L E I
This society shall be called the “ Good Citizens’ English Club o f the
Sixth Grade.”
Its motto will be “ Speak Correctly Each Day.”

and there have been no fines. The money is used to help beautify the
“ dub room.” F o r instance, potted plants were bought to make the
school room more attractive.
A s the pupils were very much interested along the line o f good
dtizenship, a “ Good Citizenship” program was given at a public meeting
o f the club. The guests were the fourth and fifth grade pupils and
teachers. The following are the minutes o f the meeting :

The club work that has been done and that w ill be done in the future
by these children surely w ill help them to take their part in public lifd
and to contribute to the various social and political activities o f their
communities and country.
Let us not think that club work is possible in only a few schools.
E very school, whether rural or town, can be organized into a club. We
as teachers can do much in training children to be good citizens through
these real life organizations.

CURRENT EVENTS CLUB
Both history and civics demand the most accurate study o f the affairs
o f today. It is through the study o f the events o f the present, that the
past made be made real to the pupils; that the pupil is given an insight
into history in the making and is able to correlate present day problems
with the past.
A study o f current events gives excellent training in acquiring
knowledge.
It creates and sustains interest in history w ork; it gives op­
portunity to evaluate a magazine or newspaper article and decide upon
its true worth; it develops in the pupils the power o f expression and the
ability to make themselves clear and interesting to companions; and
finally after thorough training in current events work, the pupils will as
citizens take an increased and active interest in civic and political affairs.
With the hope o f realizing at least some o f these objectives, the
seventh, eighth, and ninth grades o f the Junior H igh School have each
organized a Current Events Club. The meeting is conducted entirely by
the officers, who are elected by ballot. The teachers o f civics and history
serve as advisors. They do not act as censors, but, as leaders who are
interested in the work o f the club, attend its meetings, and help plan and
execute the work.
A t the beginning of the semester the advisors gave the members of
the club lessons on “ The Newspaper and What It Contains,” and “ How
to Read a Newspaper.” They urged the pupils to subscribe fo r in­
dividual copies o f a small periodical on current events. They also
secured the cooperation o f the teachers o f the art department in having
the pupils make filing cases. These consisted o f four large; envelopes

sewed together to form, a book, which was bound with covered and
decorated cardboard back.
A simple filing system was devised.' The pupils printed on each
envelope a distinct label, “ Local and State A ffairs,” “ National A ffairs,”
“ Foreign A ffairs,” “ Miscellaneous.” When they had collected a number
of clippings the advisors gave a lesson on filing. The pupil was told to
write the source and date upon the clipping. A ny article relating to
national affairs was placed in the envelope containing that label. Each
article was numbered in the order o f entry and filed by printing the
number and title upon the front o f the envelope.
Sometimes these clippings were removed from the filing cases and
pasted in history or geography notebooks following any notes which were
entered upon the topic.
The clubs meet once a week. The President calls upon each pupil in
turn. The pupil called upon rises, addresses the President, passes to the
front o f the room, and reports upon a topic. The other pupils are
encouraged to ask questions or add further statements from other clip­
pings upon the same topic. A fte r all reports have been made, the pupils
vote fo r the best current event. I f it is a clipping, it is placed on the
bulletin board.
The meeting is closed by a brief report by the critic, who has taken
notes upon the work accomplished.

BETTER ENGLISH CLUBS
These organizations emphasize the work in Oral English. The meet­
ings are held every two weeks at the time o f the class period. This club
elects whatever officers it deems necessary, usually president, vice-president,
secretary, and critic. The programs are planned by a committee o f pupils
in conjunction with the practice teacher, both under the general direction
o f the supervisor, who indicates the type o f program to be given.
The following are the types o f program which were given in the
seventh grade during the first half of the first semester:
First Meeting— (a) Telling the Most Interesting Experience o f M y
Summer Vacation; (b) Discussion o f Plans fo r Bettering Our E very
Day English.
Second Meeting—Columbus Program.
Third Meeting—Nature Discussion; (a) W hy Should We Shoot the
Squirrels and Rabbits? (b) Discussion o f Game Laws.
Fourth Meeting—Dramatization o f a Thanksgiving story.
The special reason fo r having used the first type of program was for
the purpose o f acquainting the teacher with the pupil’s interests which is
so essential to the successful teaching o f English, and fo r the creating

o f the proper social atmosphere. There has been in each o f these groups
o f four programs one which gave full opportunity fo r the expression of
real experiences. One o f each group has been biographical. The ninth
grade has had some very interesting programs on the lives of Kipling,
O. Henry, Helen Keller, and Robert Burns. These programs were
culminations o f units o f which in literature which were correlated with
their work in composition, thus making the entire English] program
function. Others have been based upon interesting phases o f science,
invention, history or some other subject o f the curriculum. A few given
in the seventh and eighth grades were upon the legendary lore o f various
countries. The legends were told and their relation to the characteristics
o f the people of the countries from which they come was made clear,
thus correlating with geography and history. In the ninth grade myths
have been treated in the ‘ same way. The latter gives an appreciative
background fo r later studies in literature.
A special feature o f this club work which proved very beneficial to
the pupils was the way in which the eighth and ninth grades assisted in
the sale o f Christmas seals. The pupils prepared from three to five
minute speeches intended to arouse interest in the Christmas seal cam­
paign among the pupils of the Training School. The Better English Club
meeting was a try-out fo r the selection o f the best speeches. The best
eight speech-makers were each assigned to one o f the grade rooms to
launch the drive fo r the sale o f Christmas seals. Some o f the ninth
grade girls showed unusual ability in adapting their speeches to the inter­
ests and appreciation o f the primary children.
In "the eighth grade club, another special feature o f interest was
carried out in connection with the reading o f the K ing Arthur stories.
The club was organized into a Round Table. A K ing Arthur was elected.
The boys assumed the roles o f certain knights o f whom they had read.
The girls were the fair ladies who figured in the stories. In the composi­
tion classes stories o f adventure were written by the knights, one of the
fa ir maidens helping to form the plot. These were based upon things
which knights could do to-day. “ H ow Knights W ere M ade” was dis­
cussed. The vows and pledges were memorized. Then a.t a meeting
o f the club, one pupil gave an account o f the) origin o f K in g Arthur’s
Round Table. K ing Arthur and one o f the knights enacted the taking o f
the vow o f knighthood. A scene showing a meeting o f the Table Round
was given. A t this time the knights told the stories o f adventure which
they had written. The one which was voted best received a Medal o f
Honor.
