FIRESIDE TRAVEL
Lying back in an old-fashioned sleepy-hollow chair before a cozy
fire, or curled up in a morris chair with a plate o f apples conveniently
near, I become the captain of circumstances. I defy the inclement ele­
ments, I am impervious to the assaults of worry and discontent, and I
conquer the conditions fate has erected as a barricade around me. For
I have my books, which release me from the toils of the day to joyous
romance and stirring adventure, or, best o f all, to journeys by sea and
land to the far corners of the earth.
I have never been across: the ocean, yet I know England w ell— life
in a cathedral town from Trollope’s “Barchester Towers,” the manu­
facturing centers from Bennett’s “Five Towns,” the political arena where
society takes itself seriously, from Mrs. Humphrey Ward’s novels. Kipling
has introduced me to the caste system and the problems of British rule
in the Indian Empire. I have wandered the South Seas with Stevenson,
a far more charming companion than the present popular traveler, Frederick O ’Brien. I Most of all, however, have I visited my kith and’ kin in
Uncle Sam s big family. I can change my climate at will ,from “Alaska
Days with John Muir” to the sunny South of Thomas Nelson Page and
Uncle Remus. “A N ew England Nun” and “Hillsboro People” show me
phases of N ew England life, and I can go “ W ay Down East” to “The
Country of the Pointed Firs” without straying from my fireside. I learn
-from “A Son of the Middle Border” and “Letters of a Woman Home­
steader what our middle-wdstern and prairie states are like, or I fall
a victim to “The Spell of the Rockies.” ,
Let transportation be interrupted by storm and strike, 'let railroad
rates ascend beyond my reach, let my lot be circumscribed by one small
village-r-yet will my horizon ever grow wider, for I am a veteran traveler
through the world of books.

THE TRUNDLE BED
K A T H A R IN E W IL S O N (English Fundamentals)
Being old has its compensations. Perhaps that which affords me the
most quiet happiness is the old black-walnut trundle bed which now oc­
cupies an honorable place in my sacred store-house, my great blackbeamed attic. A s I sit here touching it with reverent and. caressing fingers
I forget the present, and I am again a child on that great plantation in
Old Virginia. I see again my dear Old Mammy, who from my earliest
recollections tucked me away in my trundle bed.
A h ! How I loved my trundle bed; it shared so many of my good
times, especially when company came. Having company on a big planta­
tion was far different from having company in the city. When, on Christ­
mas Eve, Mother asked Uncle Spottiswood and his family to come for
dinner, it was clearly understood that they would stay at our house until
morning, for no one relished the idea of driving miles over an uneven
road through the biting cold. Christmas Eve came, and Uncle Spottiswood
with his family arrived amid a great deal of cracking of whips from the
little darky driving the carry-all. W e all rushed down to meet them,
and immediately little Salina and I planned to sleep together in my
trundle bed.
W e early tired of the merriment and stole up to bed. Mammy had
moved my bed across the hall to big sister Sue’s room, but this did not
disturb us, fo r nothing is more interesting to little sisters than to over­
hear the conversations of their big sisters, especially if those sisters have
been a little “upperty” in their treatment of the younger members of the
family. Salina and I (after Mammy left us snugly packed away, for
“packed” we were in my narrow bed), scrambled out and pushed the
trundle under sister’s big bed.
W ith a great deal of effort we managed to keep awake until Sue and
Rowina (that was Safina’s big sister) were abed. W e heard a great deal
of beaux and more beaux, and after a sincere and heroic struggle to
keep silent we both broke into that meaning “ snicker” so aggravating
to big sisters. Even now, when I am old, I hate to think of what hap­
pened when Sue and Rowina pulled out my trundle. Yes, it was a dear
wise little old bed and shared with me all my joys, and alas all my pains.
Sometimes as I sit here dreaming in the dim light of my dear old attic,
my heart yearns for those happy childhood days when I slept in my
trundle bed.

WHY WE SHOULD HAVE A CLASS PAPER
W IL L IA M A N G L E (Rhetoric)
W e have all been very much interested in the discussion which has
' been going on in our class as to whether we should have a class paper.
I think we should have a class paper.for the following reasons;
First, W e should have a class paper because it would be fine practice

TH E

for us. It would give us experience in writing stories and articles for
magazines and newspapers. Irving S. Cobb got his start by writing for
his class paper, and who knows but that we might have a future writer
in our class who might start by writing for this paper.
Second* I f we do not have a class paper and the other rhetoric
class has one, they will be ahead of us, and we want our class to be the
best one in the school.
Third, The chief opposition to the class paper is that it will be too
much work. This is not true, as the work which we would do would be
assigned as a regular lesson.

A SUGGESTED READING LIST.
[The following reading list is intended to interest people in live books
of American life, and therefore consists largely of contemporary fiction.
Lists from the Buffalo Public Library, the Hotel Pennsylvania, and Bulle­
tin X X I o f the New Y o rk City Association of Teachers of English were
consulted in preparation of the list— Carrie Belle Parks.]

THE SECOND SEMESTER
The second semester will open Monday, February 6, and will continue
for 18 weeks. New students may enter at this time in either the high
school or the regular normal department. Graduates of high schools who
have IS credits, who were unable to enter last September or who have
just completed their high school work, will be given opportunity to take
the work of the junior year. This work will be so arranged that the stu­
dent will be able to complete the course in two years from the date of his
admission. Students will thus gain a half-year by entering at the begin­
ning of the second semester, rather than by waiting until the opening of
the new school year in September. So great is the demand for teachers
that students who will be graduated in the middle of the year will have
no difficulty in finding positions as teachers as soon as they are graduated.
Students who have been graduated from second or third grade high
schools will find it greatly to their advantage to enter at the second
semester, as by so doing it will be possible for them to secure three credits.
In many cases this will enable them to enter the regular normal course in
September. Students who are not teaching this year are urged to spend
the entire semester at normal, so as to receive credit in the high school de­
partment or to complete one semester’s work in the regular normal de­
partment.
A ll students who have 15 or more high school credits will receive
free tuition if they take the regular normal course or the special teachers’

course which will be offered. The tuition in the high school department is
$2.00 a week. The registration-term fee of ten dollars must be paid by
boarding students when a room is assigned them. It must be paid by day
students sat the time of their enrollment. Books may be rented or pur­
chased new or second hand at the school book room. The cost for boarding
including furnished room, heat, light, laundry and nurse’s services when
necessary, will be $6.00 a week. Boarding students who expect to enroll
at the beginning of the second semester are urged to enroll at once as the
number of rooms available is very limited.

COURSES AVAILABLE AT THE SHIPPENSBURG
NORMAL SCHOOL DURING THE SPRING TERM
A ll students who expect to teach next year will be required to take
twenty-four recitation hours’ work per week from the following courses.
These courses are approved by the State and on evidence that they have
been satisfactorily completed a Partial (temporary) certificate will be is­
sued, good for one year. A ll students will be required to elect a course
in school efficiency. This course will cover the ground indicated in the
school catalogue, and will involve observation o f teaching in the training
school followed by class discussion o f the recitations witnessed. A ll stu­
dents will be. required to elect either public school music, art (drawing)
or health education. No student may elect more than two of these
during any nine weeks’ session but all students must elect one unless one
of them has been previously completed.
Students will be required to choose in addition two of the following
subjects: Introduction to teaching; child psychology; teaching o f read­
ing; teaching o f geography; teaching of social studies (history) ; teaching
of mathematics; teaching of English. (Each of the above named subjects
will necessarily involve a study o f the content as well as the methods o f
teaching the subject.)
The courses for teachers who are qualified, either by reason of hav­
ing fifteen or more high school credits or by reason of experience in teach­
ing, to enter the regular Normal course (Junior class) will be so arranged
as to meet the State requirements while at the same time enabling the
teacher to complete the first half of the Junior year if he attends both
spring and summer sessions.
Teachers who are not qualified to enter the regular Norman course
but who desire to teach next year will be given a course covering the
minimum requirements necessary for the renewal of their certificates and
will, in addition, be able to carry several high school subjects, thus en­
abling them to qualify for a Partial certificate and at the same time en­
abling them to secure the needed high school credits for admission to the
regular Normal course.
Normal school graduates who desire additional subjects necessary to
qualify for high school work will be able to secure these branches during
the summer session. Where special work of this kind is desired, the
student should communicate with the principal at once so that suitable
arrangements may be made.

EXPENSES FOR THE SPRING TERM AT NORMAL
The attention of all students is called to the fact that the rates for the
spring term at our school will be very reasonable. The registration-term
fee is ten dollars. In the case of boarding students this must be paid in
advance in order to have a room held. This fee includes the cost of reg­
istration and includes free admission to games, concerts, entertainments,
etc., at normal during the term. The cost for boarding including fur­
nished room, heat, light, laundry and nurse’s services when necessary,
will be $6.00 a week. Those who remain for a shorter time than the nine
weeks will be charged $6.50 per week. Tuition is free to all students ex­
cept those who are in the high school department. Such students will pay
$2.00 a week tuition or $18.00 for the term. Books can be rented at the
normal school supply room at a rate ranging from $1.50 to $2.00 for the
entire term. Thus the entire expense to those receiving free tuition for
the nine weeks of the spring term including registration-term fee, rental
of books, etc., boarding, furnished room, laundry, will be about fifty-six
dollars.
Students are urged to register as early as possible for a room. Pres­
ent appearance indicate that we shall not be able to accommodate those
who delay registering for too long a time. Pleasant rooms with all mod­
ern conveniences will be secured for students at the regular rates indicated.

THE CERTIFICATION OF TEACHERS
Many inquiries are coming to us in regard to the type of certificate
that will be issued to teachers in the elementary and junior High Schools.
The Department o f Public Instruction, after conferences with Normal
School principals, city, district and county superintendents, has recom­
mended a form of certification that has been approved by the State Coun­
cil of Education. Under this system certificates will be of five kinds,
known, respectively, as Emergency; Partial, Elementary or Secondary;
Standard, Temporary or Permanent; Norman Certificates and Diplomas;
College, Provisional and Permanent. Emergency certificates are issued by
the local superintendent for a period not to exceed three months and may
be extended for the remainder of the current term on approval of the
State Superintendent. This certificate guarantees a salary of $75.00 and
is issued by the superintendent only when no applicants possessing a higher
type of certificate are available.
The Partial certificate is issued by the state, initiated by the local
superintendent. It is good for one year in the county or district for which
it is issued and may be renewed for another year on a rating of low or
better if the teacher has taken six semester hours o f additional approved
training. It may be renewed again on a rating of middle or better with
six semester hours of additional approved training. In the case of those
who have not taught prior to 1922 four years of high school training or
its equivalent will be required for this certificate. The minimum salary
paid the holder of a Partial certificate is $85.00. In the case of a student

TH E

NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

11

who has not taught prior to September, 1922, the qualifications are gradua­
tion from a four-year high school or its equivalent plus eight semester
hours of professional study.
The Standard certificate may be issued to teachers who have taught
at least two years and who have had seventy semester hours of approved
training. It is issued by the State for two years and will be renewed once
on a rating of low and subsequently on a rating o f middle or better.
Teachers in service will be permitted to count teaching experience up to
and including the fifteenth year in qualifying for this certificate. I f a
superintendent rates the teacher’s work as “middle” or better, four semester
hours’ credit will be allowed for each year taught. If the rating is below
“middle,” three semster hours will be allowed for each year taught.
The minimum salary paid to the holder of a standard certificate will be
$100.00.
The Normal certificate will be issued to students who have completed
the regular Normal School course as specified by the State. This certifi­
cate is good for two years and may be exchanged for a Normal Diploma
at the end of two years’ teaching on a rating o f “medium” or better.
I f a graduate is rated “ low ” at the end of two years’ teaching the cer-

WHAT NEW STUDENTS OUGHT TO KNOW
Students entering normal for the first time naturally desire informa­
tion on a number of questions. Experience has taught us that these ques­
tions center about certain matters. Last year we answered a number of
these questions in advance and found the method so satisfactory that we
have decided to anticipate the same questions and a few others and to
answer them. Perhaps you will find the answer to the question in which
you are interested.
Question. Is it necessary to pay in advance when I come to school?
Answer. The only advance payment that need be made is the tendollar registration-term fee, which must be paid when boarding students
tificate may be renewed once. The salary paid is the minimum established
engage a room. The remainder of the payment for the spring term, $54.00,
should be paid when the student enters school.
Question. In case my school does not close in time to enable me to
come at the beginning of the term, will I be- charged for the full ninp
weeks?
Answer. I f you come promptly at the close of your school, you will
not be charged boarding for the time you are absent. However, we do
not divide a week. I f you come during the week beginning April 17 you
will be charged for the entire week. If you come on or after April 22
you will not be charged for the first week. Students, however, who are
assigned rooms in the school building will be required to pay for these
rooms from April 17. Where a room is assigned outside the building
by law for Normal School graduates.

12

THE! NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

the student will pay only from the actual date at which the room is
occupied.
Question. Is it necessary for me to come in advance o f Monday,
February 5, (or Monday, April 17) ?
Answer. No. The first day of either term is devoted to assigning
students to their classes. You will be in plenty o f time if you leave home
on Monday o f the week on which the term opens.
Question. W ill my baggage be delivered at the school free of charge?
Answer. Yes, if you come on either the first or second day of the
opening of the term and bring your trunk check to the office or give it
to one o f the school employees at the station. Your baggage will then
be delivered free of cost. It is highly important that every piece of bag­
gage be plainly marked with the owner’s name and with the room number
or private house in which the student will room. Do not give your trunk
check to any taxi driver unless you wish to pay for having it delivered.
Bring your check to the office and your baggage will be delivered free of
cost to you. This regulation applies, however, only to the first two days
of the school term. Students coming later should engage one of the cab
men at the station to bring baggage to the school.
Question. What equipment will the school provide for my room?
Answer. Your room will be furnished with all necessary furniture such
as bed, bedding, bureau, study table, wash stand, bowl and pitcher, chairs
and light fixtures.
Question. What shall I bring with me?
Answer. Students should bring all toilet articles, table napkins, bu­
reau covers, cushions (if desired), laundry bag and a pair of blankets
or heavy quilt (if additional bed cover is desired). Students should also
bring knife, fork, spoon and glass tumbler for use in their room, as these
articles may not be taken from the dining room.
Question. Can I buy or rent the needed text books at the school?
Answer. Yes, you can buy or rent the books you need at the school
book room. You need not look after these in advance.

PRINCIPAL’S LETTER TO THE ALUMNI
Dear Friends:
I am writing this letter in the midst of the holiday season and though
both Christmas and New Year will be memories of the past when you
receive the Herald, I want to take this opportunity o f wishing you all a
very Happy New Year. Opportunities in the teaching profession were
never so good as they now are. The demand for trained teachers is in
excess of the supply. This condition will continue to exist for a number
o f years to come, in spite of the depression in business and the number
of applicants for positions in other lines of endeavor. Several years must
pass before enough teachers can be trained to meet the ordinary every­
day needs of the country. Because of this situation, teachers have greater
opportunity for advancement than ever before. I trust that the New Year
will find you helping to solve the big educational problems that every
community has before it.

'I have been very much gratified to note the fine spirit that character­
izes our Alumni. I have been able to attend eight of the county and
city meetings and in every case it has been most pleasing to note the
enthusiasm and interest of our Alumni and former students.
Members of the faculty who have been able to attend these meetings
have all been impressed with the loyalty that characterizes our Alumni.
The continued and rapid growth of the school attests the interest that you
feel in your Alma Mater.
There was never a time when our Alumni can speak so effectively as
they can now upon a number of important social and educational ques­
tions. I am particularly anxious that all o f you shall speak in no uncer­
tain tones in support o f the educational program that the Department of
Public Instruction, under the leadership o f Dr. Finegan, has instituted.
A great beginning has been made. The school year has been lengthened,
salaries have been materially raised, better qualified teachers assured and
many other far reaching improvements planned. If our state is to ad­
vance educationally we must have closer supervision of our public school
work. It must be standardized in all the counties of the state. To accom­
plish this it is necessary to call into the service of the state the best men
and women that can be secured anywhere, for the best is none too good
for Pennsylvania. It is greatly to be regretted that organizations and
persons who misunderstand the nature of the work being done, should not
hesitate to misrepresent the far reaching educational campaign. Members
of our Alumni should inform themselves thoroughly on all these matters
and should be most active in championing the cause o f education in their
respective communities. Every graduate o f our school should be a leader
in the campaign that must still be waged for better schools and greater
educational opportunities for the children of Pennsylvania.
Elsewhere in the Herald attention is called to the opportunities that
will be open to students in the normal school during the spring and summer
sessions. For the last time we shall be able to give a spring session of
nine weeks. N ext year when the minimum term is made eight months
it will not be possible to have a spring session. The summer session will
then be the only special session that can be given. The work of the
spring term is fully explained elsewhere and we need only call attention
to the desirability o f having all students who are not qualified under the
new requirements, enroll for this session. A ll students who can possibly
do so are urged to remain during the nine weeks o f the spring and the
nine weeks of the summer term. In this way it will be possible to give
one-half year’s credit for work done in any subject or subjects. Those
who remain during but one term will receive one-fourth year’s credit.
Our enrollment for both the spring and summer terms will be very
much the largest we have ever had. W e have room for anly 20 more
students in our dormitories and from present appearances nearly all of
these rooms will be taken at the beginning o f the next semester, February
5. W e hope to. be able to provide for 300 more boarding students by
furnishing them rooms in town and having them board at the school but
we know that we shall have more than 300 applicants and we reluctantly

state that we shall not be able to accommodate those who delay too long
in registering. Though all registrations are filed under date of January i,
a large number of students have already registered fo r the Spring term.
W e appeal to all of our Alumni to keep us in touch with .boys and
girls in the high schools who may be interested in preparing to teach.
Remember that students who will be graduated from first grade high
schools this year will be permitted to teach next fall if they take eight
semester hours’ work at a normal school or college approved by the state
authorities. . These students can come to us during the summer session
and qualify for teaching next year. W e are specially anxious to come in
touch with the young men and women who are prepared to enter the
regular normal course (junior year) next fall. Our courses are so ar­
ranged as to make it possible for all who have fifteen or more high school
credits, no matter in what course they may have been taken, to enter our
junior class and finish the work in two years.
And now don’t forget that Tuesday, June 13, is Alumni Day. It
may seem a far cry to that date, but several classes have already begun
to make arrangements, for their ten-year reunions. W e trust that the ten
surviving members of the class o f ’82 may arrange to have a pleasant gettogether meeting after the lapse of forty years.
W e have a particular reason for wanting the class of 1892 to celebrate
its thirtieth year, and the class of 1902, one of the very large classes,
should be here in large numbers for its twentieth reunion. O f course,
the class of 1912 will hot forget that 1922 marks its tenth anniversary.
W e shall be surprised if the class of ’97 fails to remember that it is twentyfive years old next June.
O f course, we want the members of the other classes to come back,
also. W e cannot: expect to have 6,000 people present this year, for fiftyyear anniversaries do not come every Commencement, but we trust that
all of you who can, get back for a good, big, happy time. Remember that
the latch string is out and that we want to see all o f you here. Don’t for­
get the day, Tuesday, June 13. Make it a lucky day.
Sincerely yours,
E Z R A LE H M A N , ’89.

Alw ays since graduation I have tried to get "the Herald, but because o f distance and frequent change of address sometimes fail to re­
ceive my copy. Has my subscription expired? I f so I wish to renew.
I feel lost without the Herald, it seems years since I heard from old
Normal but am sure all Heralds but the last were received. Please send

a copy of it, if you still have one. I like the change in the paper and
find it o f as much help as other educational papers.
Oracle is Tucson’s summer resort as well as a health resort too.
Elevation 4500 ft., though only thirty-five miles from Tucson. W e have
real oak trees here and snow too, seems like dear old Pa. It is the
most desirable place I have found in Ariz. People are not Mormons, most
are from the East. There are but twenty-five pupils, none above fifth
grade, yet we gave a Hallowe’en entertainment that is talked about all
over the country as the best ever here. Old Normal must be given credit
for that, for it was there I got my ideas. Though because o f lack of
practice when small if has been impossible for me to speak in public,
I like to drill my pupils that they may not be thus hindered.
Hoping to receive a “ Herald” soon at my address, Oracle, and wish­
ing success to all whom I knew and old Normal too, I am,
Yours sincerely,

OBITUARY
Eleanor McKim (B urk), ’99, died November 13, 1921. W e clip the
following account from a Franklin County paper:
Mrs. Eleanor Burk, aged 45 years, died at her home, near D ry Run,
last evening. She had been in failing health for several years and only
a few days ago her case became serious.
She was the oldest daughter of Mervin E., and Elizabeth McKim
and was born at Concord on February 29, 1876. She was educated in
the Concord public schools and taught school for several years. She
graduated with honors from the Shippensburg Normal School in the
class of 1899. A fter graduation she taught school ten years in Path
Valley. In May, 1909, she married John A. Burk, of D ry Run.
Surviving are her husband and these brothers and sisters: Mrs. May
Houghton and Miss Mary McKim, both of Philadelphia; Maurice M.
McKim, of Akron, Ohio; Mrs. Edna Wagner, of Middlespring; James
M. McKim, of Harrisburg, and Miss Lorenda McKim, of Concord.
Cordelia Woods (Eyster), ’92, died July 6. 1921.
taken from the Deer Creek (Illinois) P rogress:

The following is

Mrs. H. E. Eyster passes away after operation in Toledo hospital.
Our people were greatly shocked the afternoon of July 6, when word
was received here of the death of Mrs. Harvey E. Eyster, a former
highly respected citizen of this place. W e learn that she became very ill
the evening before her death. T w o physicians were called and decided
that an immediate operation was hei? only chance for life. She was
taken to a hospital in Toledo and the operation was performed, but she
died shortly afterwards, gangrene having set in, which caused her death.

A year ago Mrs. Eyster and family moved from here (Deer Creek)
to Bryan, Ohio. She was a woman of great social qualities and was held
in high esteem by all who knew her.
She leaves her husband, one daughter, Maree, and one son, Claire,
both at home, besides a large number o f friends to mourn her loss.
The family have the sympathy o f this community in their bereavement.
She was buried at Bryan, Ohio.
Floy Baker (Wonders) died December 19, 1921. Mrs. Wonders
was a former student at normal and her son William is at present a

BANQUET OF ADAMS COUNTY ALUMNI
The Shippensburg Normal Alumni of Adams County met on Tuesday
evening, November 15th, the week of the county institute in Gettysburg,
at the New Hotel Hoffman for their annual banquet. There were about
seventy people present, including Dr. and Mrs. Lehman, Miss Harris and
Miss Kieffer, from the Normal School, and Arthur Greist, trustee of the
Normal School, and Mrs. Greist.
The Gettysburg College orchestra furnished music for the dancing,
which occupied a greater part of the evening.
Luncheon was served, after which Dr. Lehman, P rof. Roy D. Knouse,
o f Littlestown; Misses Harris and Kieffer, Prof. H. M. Roth, o f Gettys­
burg, and P rof. Jeremiah Thoman, of Hanover, gave short talks.
During the business session the officers were elected for the next
year. President, P rof. Guile W . Lefever, of Gettysburg; V ice Presi­
dent, Prof. Roy D. Knouse, of Littlestown, and Secretary, Helen Jane
Scott, of Gettysburg.

BANQUET OF YORK COUNTY ALUMNI
The Y o rk County Alumni o f the C. V . S. N. S. held a banquet in
the banquet hall of the Y . M. C. A. building, Wednesday evening, No­
vember 23rd, at 6 o’clock. So well did the graduates and former students
respond to the call of the committee that nearly fifty Alumni were present.
Among those present were P rof. J. P. Hays, a member o f the class of
1876, two representatives from the Alm a Mater, Prof. Heiges and Miss
Myrtle Mayberry, both former Y o rk Countians, and P rof, Robert A r­
nold, a member of the faculty of the Reading High School.
During the bountiful repast a selected orchestra entertained with in­
strumental and vocal music. A fter the singing of the school song, “The
Alma Mater,” Prof. H. M. Arnold introduced P rof. Charles Albright,
assistant superintendent of the public schools of Y ork County, as toast­
master. Soon P rof. Albright had all feeling in a splendid humor and in

a very pleasing manner introduced the following: Prof. James Ebert,
Dr. Elmer Trostle, P rof. Wm. Fishel, Mr. Chas. Spangler, P rof. J. P.
Hays,$jProf. Chas.Rahauser, P rof. Heiges, Miss Myrtle Mayberry,
Prof. Gilbert Quickie, Prof. H. M. Arnold, P rof. Robert Arnold and
Miss Belle Irene Anthony. The trend of the remarks was that o f love
for the Alma Mater and the pledging of loyalty to her. The whole affair
was voted a success and as an alumnus remarked later, “ W e all felt
at home even if we were among so many strangers.”
The officers of the organization are: President, P rof. Charles A l­
bright; Secretary, Bèlle Irene Anthony. The committee consisting of
W inifred Kauffman, Belle Irene Anthony, H. M. Arnold, Gilbert Quickie
and Harvey Becker, are already planning for the banquet to be held next
year, at which time they want to make the members attending it as
near a hundred as possible.

MEETING OF JUNIATA COUNTY ALUMNI
The A-lumni Association o f Juniata County desires herewith to send
greetings to our Alma Mater.
W e had an organization formed in 1920 but we did not have a suf­
ficient number to have a social • reunion, This year Mrs. Emily Guss
invited us to her home, so quite a number of us went there and had a
very enjoyable time. W e reorganized our Association and the following
officers were elected:
President, Miss Mary Brackbill; Vice President, Mr. W . M. Duncan;
Secretary, Miss Margarette Stimmel; Treasurer, Mrs. Emily McNeal
(Guss).
A committee on arranegments to make plans for an Alumni meeting
to be held next year was also appointed.
W e surely did regret that we could not have held the meeting this
year when Dr. Lehman was with us, but it was impossible to arrange
for it earlier in the week.
W e were very glad to have Dr. Lehman at our institute and enjoyed
his inspiring talks very much.
The Juniata County people are very much interested in C. V . S. N. S.
and we are always glad to hear the news and to note theprogress which
the school is making.

CUMBERLAND COUNTY ALUMNI MEETING
A business meeting of the Cumberland County Alumni and former
students was held in the Opera House in Carlisle on Thursday evening of
institute week. Superintendent J. C. Wagner was elected president; Miss
Ruth Duke, of Shippensburg, secretary and Assistant Superintendent, W.
J. Rice, of Carlisle, treasurer. It was voted to arrange for a banquet on
Friday evening, February n th , at Carlisle. An effort will be made to

make this banquet one of the biggest ever held by the Cumberland
County Association.

NORMAL LITERARY SOCIETY
The vivacity and enthusiasm in Normal Society is commendable this
year. This is portrayed by the splendid attendance and ardent co-opera­
tion o f every member. W e are always true to the Normal standard of
pep and interest and we stand for prompt and loyal work.
W e aim
to carry this spirit through all our school activities, and Normal Society
thus enables us to build a strong foundation for our future work in the
world, which after all is only another big society embodying the ideals
that we strive so hard to obtain in our short preparation here at school.
Our Society is not developed along one particular channel, but very
successful efforts are made to supply our members with that broadening
and deepening training so necessary in life to the success of any indi­
vidual. Our programs are devoted to educational work as well as good
clean humor, and contain both musical and literary numbers. Essays
written by our members, book reviews, plays, current events, all con­
tribute to our programs, to say nothing of the Society’s weekly paper,
“ The Gazette,” which discloses the occurrences o f the school in gen­
eral and of each one in particular. Such material as editorials and poems
also occupy a prominent place. Music is a very large feature on our
programs. Normal Society has always been noted for her fine grade
o f music, and we seem to have even excelled the Normal standard this
year, in vocal as well as instrumental music. It shows that talent for
this particular feature is available in our Society from the new members
as well as from the old. The dances add much to the aesthetic part
of the program and afford joy and pleasure to the Society. They are
both interesting and humorous. Other numbers, which we as members
and others as visitors enjoy, are the special features which always keep
us in suspended surprise that is usually gratified to the fullest degree.
N ot by any means is forgotten that necessary and much needed
training in speaking on one’s feet. Our debates are usually interesting
and supply a desirable source o f information. It is fortunate indeed that
the members of our Society recognize this and manifest such a vital in­
terest along this line o f work. Our last debate, “Resolved, That student
government should be established for the entire student body in this
school,” was vital and very interesting. The debaters deserve special
credit, for their discussions were a product o f purely original think­
ing. The members who participated in the general debate are to be
commended; this is a phase of debate which should not be overlooked.
The officers as well as the members aim to uphold these good records
of the Society so that in the future these facts may still stand true.
Normal Society invites and urges all former members o f the Society
and those interested in our work to be present at our meetings, to see
the work w e are doing, how our ranks have increased, and to offer
suggestions. W e assure you all a hearty welcome,
F R A N C E S M. B R E N N E M A N , ’22 Secretary.

PHILOMATHEAN LITERARY SOCIETY
Philo is growing better day by day. Some o f the numbers on the
programs have been full o f originality and this shows what talent we
have in Philo. Philo Review especially has been presented in several
unique ways, thus making our own paper even more interesting than
before.
Another late feature which was sometthing new for Philo was the
interclass debate between the Juniors and Seniors. The proposition was,
“ Resolved, That the United States shall, within a period of five years,
grant the Philippines their independence.” The decision was rendered
in favor o f the negative or Senior team. This debate was conducted in
the same manner in which the intersociety and interscholastic debates
are conducted and was really1held in order to discover talent for these
annual debates.
Another way in which Philo has progressed is in the omission o f the
long and laborious roll-call. Instead o f this, each member, upon enter­
ing the chapel, places a slip of paper containing his name in a box pro­
vided for that purpose. Philo is ever advancing and striving to reach
a higher goal.
The spirit which Philomathean members are showing indicate that
each one is working hard to live up to the motto o f Philo— “ Be a booster,
not a kicker.”
M A R Y F U N K , ’22 Secretary.

NORMAL SOCIETY GLEE CLUB
Our Glee Club is a prominent feature on the society program, and
it aims to keep in touch with the good spirit throughout the evening.
The programs o f the society have so far been exceptionally fine,
and we feel that our Glee Club has more than done its share to make
them so. Normal has always been praised for her good music. The
selections are o f the very highest type that the director is able to secure.
They have been delightful and have never failed to please. Our visiting
tachers and critics have always given special commendation to the Glee
Club number. W e are sure that this excellent work and fine spirit will
continue throughout the year.
K A T H R Y N D A N IE L S , ’23 Secretary.

PHILO GLEE CLUB
This is one phase o f our society work which demands individual
support. In order to make the society appreciate oUr numbers we must
render them at our best, for, when the same group o f people appears
before the same audience week after week something worth while must
be given in order that it may appeal to the audience. The well-mdered
selection will always carry the greatest appeal and in order to produce
well-prepared selections the individual support o f each member o f the

30

TH E NORMAL SCHOOL

HERAT,n

club must be obtained. With a few exceptions the members of Philo
Glee Club have been giving splendid;¿Support to its director and it is
hoped that this may continue throughout the year. True, after a day of
school work it is difficult to tie one’s self down to a solid practice when
others are outside enjoying the fresh air, but it is for Philo, so why
should any of us murmur? Very, very few do. W e are always glad to
do something for Philo. One can truly enjoy life, only by serving others
and thus strengthening himself.
The Club has tried, so far as was possible, .to suit its selections to
the occasion or the season. A t the Thanksgiving program, the Pilgrim’s
Chorus from Tannhäuser ’ was given and at the Armistice Day program a
patriotic selection was rendered. In the Christmas program there were
two selections. The first was “H a rk ! the Herald Angels Sing,” produced
in a novel way. The second was “ Silent Night, Holy Night,” with a
short pantomime representing the Nativity.

Y. M. C. A.
Xhe work of this Association is upon a firm basis and everything
is going smoothly. The Association as a whole is very much interested
and the co-operation of each member is fine. Partly upon this we are
basing our success as an organization.
Mr. Miller, our State Student Secretary, visited us early in the
School year and helped u| | | | plan and organize our work. W e have
also secured a number of able speakers for our Sunday evening meetings,
among whom are Dr, Grove, o f Harrisburg; Dr. Einebach, editor of thé
Reformed Church Messenger; M r.fColbert Kurokawa, of Dickson Col­
lege, and Mr. Hallingshead, a representative of the National Y . M. C. A.
These men presented questions concerning, not only our lives, but con­
cerning this nation as Well as others.
True to its principles of helping others, our organization has recog­
nized the needs of our brothers in Europe and is planning a campaign
for. the Student Friendship Fund and the Near East Relief.
W e hope that each member will see the importance of the Y. M. C. A.
work and continue to put forth his best efforts in behalf of the Associa^
tion.
A. S T E R L IN G K IN G , ’22,
Recording Secretary.

Y. W. C. A.
The Y . W. C. A. is still following up the aim o f making the new
members feel at home. On October 14th the organization served tea in
the “Y ” room to all the lady members o f the faculty and boarding girls.
The tea was given in honor of Miss Ruth Roch. She gave several talks
to the girls during her stay with us.
Miss Sara Kraber, president of our Y. W. C. A., represented us at

TH E

a conference held in Philadelphia in October. She heard many in­
structive lectures which w ere presented to us. W e are hoping that we
w ill profit ve ry much by them.
_
.
The Y . W. C. A. is now holding evening prayer services m tne
court from ten until ten-ten. Girls who are willing lead each mght. We
are sure that this is of much benefit to the girls, as is shown by the
attendance. Much interest is manifested now especially, as it is near the
Christmas season.
.... .
Another social time is promised to the members by the Y. W. in
the form of the Christmas bazaar on Saturday, Dec. 17th. AH articles
are contributed by the present members and the alumni. W e expect this
year to have the largest and most successful bazaar that has ever been
held. The proceeds will go to the Near East Relief.
W e wish to take this opportunity to thank all members and alumnae
who heartily contributed to the worthy cause.
D O L L IE K IN G , ’22 Secretary.

PRESS CLUB
The members of the Press Club are trying to make the Club a real live
wire organization by giving their interest and their best work to the Club.
This attitude of the members has been shown in several ways, especially
in the attendance and the type of programs given. The following is an
example o f one of our program s:
R ecitation ........................................................................................ Miss Kraber
Vocal Solo........................................................................................ Ml,sa | f H

the faculty, so much interested in newspaper work. Both have given inter­
esting and helpful addresses to the Club. W e are especially glad to have
Prof. Sheradin elected as an honorary member of our Club.
W ith the present interest and enthusiasm continued we can hold high
our motto, which is, “For the good of the school.”

THE GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
The G. A. A. continues with its: usual initiative. The hockey season
closed to the regret of our efficient hockey stars and many hocky friends.
The hike to Chambersburg ended the hiking season of 1921. A large
number of the girls obeyed the rules and received the maximum num­
ber of points, and at our next meeting a large majority of the new girls
will have acquired enough points to join the Association. The cycle squad
reports having had glorious times with Miss Robb on their trips, also.
They advise us to use a bicycle whenever we get the opportunity.
A ll the classes are anxiously looking forward to the basket ball sea-

W e expect a lot o f good times and peppy games.
Everybody is busy now getting ready for Christmas, but when we
come bade from our vacation we are planning on having a vaudeville
show. This is going to mean a good time for all o f us. W e would be glad
to see our ex-members and friends come back to it. The date is not
definitely decided yet; but write us about it and we shall let you know.
The Association hopes you all had a pleasant holiday vacation and that
good luck will follow you throughout the year of 1922.

GIRLS’ DAY STUDENT ASSOCIATION
Eeft-right, left-right, left-right, left! You ought to see the day stu­
dent girls keep step! The other day a girl stooped ’way over and reached
way back in the corner for a piece of old banana skin and carried it over
to the garbage can. This is just an example of the things the girls are
doing to clean up. Even the mirror (however spotted) is cleared of all
the signs of paste— it used to be the bulletin board. W e feel sure that
if everyone continues to pull hard and with just a little more enthusiasm
we shall not need to be ashamed of our little room longer.

ARTS AND CRAFTS CLUB
Although our club is a new organization in the school, the progress
has certainly been remarkable. The work which we are doing at our
meetings is so beneficial to us that we are sorry a club of this kind was
not formed before.
The first work which we undertook was the weaving of baskets from
corn husk and raffia. Several of the finished projects were quite skilfully
woven.
A t present, the majority of the members are doing enamelling work.
W e have made oil cloth luncheon sets, book-ends, shoe-trees, and many
other useful articles. Besides this work, some members are making beads
from permodello. These are very pretty after they are enamelled and
shellacked.
Another feature of our meetings is the discussion of famous Penn­
sylvania artists, such as Violet Oakley and Henry Austin Abbey. These
discussions make us familiar with those people who are great along the
line o f art.
A ll the work of the club has been very successful, and we feel that,
under the able direction of the art teacher, we shall be able to accom­
plish more and more throughout the year.

The Teacher Placement Service will furnish upon request lists of
available teachers to superintendents, supervising principals, principals,
and school boards.
Available teachers may secure positions through the Department of
Public Instruction by registering with this bureau.
This service is without fee of any kind.

The profession of the widwife is at. last being recognized as a legiti­
mate field of woman’s work. This is the oldest profession of women and
in Pennsylvania alone, about one-fifth of the population its foreign born
fraction— seek the services of a midwife. In many of the home lands
the male physician is unknown, and the emigrant husband, as well as the
w ife herself, flatly refuses to have the “ man doctor” deliver the child.
The Board of Directors of the Maternity Hospital, 734 S. 10th street,
Philadelphia, has opened a school for midwives; the period of instruction
to be twelve months and the entrance fee
They state that since
only six pupils will be admitted in any one year, it will be clearly seen that
this course is not intended to materially increase the number of midwives
in the state, but since the life of the mother and child frequently de­
pends upon her skill, it is felt that she should be properly trained so as to
recognize such symptoms or complications requiring the services of a
physician.
The Maternity Hospital of Philadelphia was established in 1872, has
a capacity o f 35 beds, and is one of the leading institutions of its kind
in Philadelphia. Judge William H. Staake is president of the Board of
Directors, and the superintendent in charge is Helen L. Kelly, R. N.

A plate of ice cream may not conceal a stick of dynamite and a glass
of milk may be quite free from a lysol “ kick ” but this does not insure
the safety of either as food and drink. A t any rate with typhoid epi­
demics appearing in various parts of the State, it behooves each house­
w ife to learn the crepe-hanging possibilities of her bill-of-fares.
Milk (including milk products) that have become polltued is a com­
mon source of typhoid infection. There are a variety of ways by which
this happens.

36

TH E

NORMAD SCHOOL H lgRALn

Carelessness in reporting illness in a farmer’s family, the farmer’s
w ife tending both the patient and the dairy, was the simple forerunner
o f one recent epidemic. Milk cooled in a spring o f polluted water, some
o f the water splashing into the cans, started a string o f cases in another
section. A growing dairy business needing more help and a boy who had
had typhoid fever (and who was still a carrier), pressed into service,
was enough to start the undertaker’s ’phone ringing in a third part of the
state.
The State Department of Health steps in, cuts off the course o f in­
fection and eventually gets the epidemic under control. But a local milk
ordinance adequately enforced would have prevented these disasters in
the first place.
It is one thing to read typewritten sheets of typhoid statistics. It is
another matter to visit in an epidemic district— to discover an eight-yearold child trying to care for the four stricken grown-ups in her family;
to find a family of nine all in bed and utterly dependent for their recovery
upon the initiative o f outsiders; to hear the anxious catch in the cheerful
voice o f another patient who knows that she is the only support of her
white-haired blind mother.
State and private nurses are summoned and great is their skillful
service; but it is not only nursing that they do, for their extras range
from chaperoning a burly plumber into a placarded house, “ I’ll go if you
go with me,” he timidly says,— to procuring a minister to baptize a dying
child. The greatest tragedy, though, is to realize that with a supervised
milk supply typhoid epidemics could be avoided.
The other great source o f typhoid infection is polluted drinking water.
This rarely occurs any more with municipal supplies, but the country
well, the brook, and the mountain spring may be contaminated, and farm­
ers, picnickers, autoists and hikers, all are victims. Just because water
has no bad color, looks good and is cold does not mean that it is free
from danger.
Not long ago there was a religious convention in the southeastern
section o f the state. Most of the delegates arrived in automobiles and
they parked their cars in a quarry near the convention grove. There was
a spring in the quarry that the state engineers had condemned except for
consumption by the quarry engine. But the convention delegates were
hot and thirsty and they decided to “ take a chance.” When they left the
convention they took home more than religious inspiration. Here and
there throughout that section o f the state, houses are being placarded and
the Angel of Death does not always “ pass over.”
Dr. Campbell, chief of the Division of Medical Inspection o f the State
Department of Health, has suggested a few simple precautions that will go
a long way towards wiping out typhoid fever.
1 Promiscuous drinking from springs and wells throughout the coun­
try should be avoided. A ll water from untested sources should be boiled.
2— Local milk ordinances to secure pasteurized milk should be passed
and enforced.
