W HAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO T H IS FALL?
- M y young friends:— I want to ask you a personal question:
"W h a t are you going to do this fa ll? ” Now, ju st wait a moment
before ypu answer, fo r your answer is going to have a most im­
portant bearing on your future career.
You can get plenty of
"jo b s ” at higher wages than any one dreamed a few years ago
would ever be paid to young people. There has never been so great
a demand for labor as there is now and wages have risen propor­
tionately.
Before you decide what you are going to do, please note just
a few things: All kinds o f “jobs,” positions, etc., may be divided
into two classes: those that are permanent and those that are
temporary.
The first class includes those that are not dependent upon the
war and the conditions growing out o f it. To this class belong the
professions, skilled mechanical labor, etc. All of these involve care­
fu l preparation on the part of those who go into them, but they offer
steadily increasing salaries and opportunities fo r advancement.
The second class includes the “ blind alley jobs,” which lead no­
where and which will come to an end as soon as the unnatural con­
ditions o f the present day come to an end. These jobs require little
preparation. All that is needed is a three months’ course at a busi­
ness college where typewriting and a smattering of bookkeeping and
shorthand are taught. Then the misguided young man or woman is
able to secure a position in a bank, an office, or with some contractor
employing thousands of workers.
These young people lack proper
education to write a good letter, their employers complain about
them, but they must keep them in their employ because they cannot

THE

NORMAL

SCHOOL

HERALD

now get competent help. A s soon as the wax ends and business be­
comes normal, thousands of these poorly equipped young people will
lose their places. W hat will they do for a living?
They have
negleeted their opportunity when they could have been preparing
fo r some of the big openings ahead, and must suffer the consequences.
Another type o f blind alley job is the position in factory,
store or other place that now pays attractive wages, but which
does not and cannot lead to positions worth while. It is most un­
fortunate that thousands of young people are blind to the great op­
portunities that will be open to the skilled, educated young man and
woman at the close o f the war. Never have the openings been so
numerous as they will be when peace comes. Thousands o f o »r
voung men are on the firing line; they are sacrificing their chance
o f getting an education in order that the nation may be preserved.
Those who remain behind owe it to the nation and themselves .to
prepare for the big part that they should play when peace comes.
O f all these professions, none offer and will continue to offer,
greater opportunity than teaching. The national government is
about to grant federal aid to all the schools in the interest o f greater ■
efficiency, for education has now become national in its scope, itns
movement means longer school terms, better salaries, and higher
qualifications on the part o f the teacher. The public is aroused to
the need o f all of these. Teachers were never so much in demand
as they now are, and it will be at least ten years before the demand
for trained teachers can be met.
M v young friends, consider the opportunities open to you as a
teacher: permanent position, nine to ten months' term in the near
future attractive and constantly increasing salaries, and the finest
opportunities in the world for service. Can any profession be more
attractive? W ill it not pay you to prepare fo r teachmg this tall?

SUMMER SESSION ANNOUNCEMENT
The Cumberland Valley State Normal School will open its SUM ­
M ER SESSION, Monday, July 1 ,1 9 1 8 . The first day will be devoted
to the enrolling of'students and the arranging of classes. Recita­
tions will be begun on Tuesday. The school will continue m session
fo r six weeks, five days each week, closing August 9th.
The summer! term idea should appeal to teachers employed in
the winter who desire to make a profitable use o f their summer vaca­
tion by shortening their course or adding new subjects to the dip­
loma now held by them. When the surroundings assure comfort and
conveniences, making the school work pleasant and profitable as
they do at the Shippensburg Normal School, this Summer School
should be especially attractive.

THE

NORMAL

SCHOOL

The Summer School Especially Attractive
First. To the teacher holding a provisional certificate whowishes to prepare for the ne?t higher grade certificate or eventually
to finish the Normal Course and become possessor o f a Normal dip­
loma, or to become a more efficient teacher without obtaining a
higher grade certificate.
Second. To high school graduates who expect to teach but who
have not had satisfactory training in the methods^of teaching and
organizing a school.
Third. To those1 persons who intend to take the examination
for the Permanent State Certificate. They can secure the review
needed as well as do advanced work.
Fourth. To the graduates of the second and the third grade
high schools. They can thereby shorten their Normal Course by
working off branches not included in their high school work.
Fifth. To those teachers who expect to enter college, or secure
advanced standing in college to the extent o f a yar’s work.
Sixth. To those students in the regular Normal; Course, who
may be deficient in one or more subjects and wish to enter the next
.year's work unconditional.
Location
Shippensburg is located in the heart o f the beautiful and fertile
Cumberland Valley. It is forty-one miles from Harrisburg, with
which it is connected by two railways, the Cumberland Valley and
the Philadelphia and Reading. It is connected with the towns to the
South by the Cumberland Valley and thé Western Maryland Rail-,
ways. Shippensburg is a town of about five thousand people, re­
nowned fo r its churches and its prohibition.
The School buildings are situated on 'an eminence overlooking
Shippensburg, giving a delightful view of the surrounding country.
The mountains to the North and to the South add much beauty
to the scene. The Normal grounds, embracing a broad expanse o f
cumpus, much of which is shaded, make outdoor life pleasant and
render this school a most delightful place for summer study.

RECREATION
The tennis courts, athletic field, and gymnasium are at the dis­
posal o f the Summer School students. The campus affords other
opportunities for recreation.
The beauty and picturesqueness of the surrounding country,
the numerous sparkling creeks add much enjoyment to the number­
less interesting walks. A few moments’ stroll will bring one in close
contact with nature.

ADMISSION
Admittance to the course offered in the Summer School depends
not on any specific previous preparation nor upon examination. The

THE

4

NORMAL

SCHOOL

HERALD

candidate must, however, satisfy the instructor that he is fitted to do
the work o f the course which he desires to enter.

Strong Faculty
The instruction in the Summer Session is given by the heads of
the departments of the Cumberland Valley State Normal, and others
o f equal teaching ability.

Organization
While the~ organization of the work is favorable to rapid pro­
gress the ruling idea is thoroughness. Each course is to be entirely
practical and helpful, especially I this true of such courses as that
o f Agriculture and Pedagogy. Students wdl be required to d o jh e
same work and will be graded according to the same standards as in
the regular Normal Work.

Library
The Library and Reading Room are open every day during the
Summer Session from 9 o’ clock A . M. to 4. o’clock P . M. Being com­
pletely catalogued and indexed, the books on all subjects axe easily
accessible. While the Library contains a large number of boohs on
every subject, it is especially rich in pedagogical material.

Books and Supplies
All books and supplies can be procured at the Normal School
’boo'k room at usual prices. The books may be rented fo r a small
rental.

Credit
Any work done will be credited toward the regular Normal
Course, providing examinations are taken at the end o f the course.
Nearly all courses offered may be so completed as to be counted
toward credit in the Normal School.

Boarding
Rooms in the building, completely furnished, and board will cost
$4 per week when two persons occupy a room, or $4.50 for a single
room. Boarding alone by the day will cost 75 cents, by the meal 25
■cents.

Tuition and Fees
Before entering the classes,

students

must register

at

the

Dean’s office and pay their fees.
The fees a re : Registration, $ 1 ; tuition for one course, $ 5 ; for
two courses, $ 1 0 ; for each additional course, $2.50 up to four
courses, the limit permitted to any student.
For each laboratory
course charges covering material actually used will be made in

THE

NORMAL

SCHOOL

HERALD

Chemistry, Agriculture, etc. The entire term, therefore, need not
cost more than $40.
(A course consists of one hour daily fo r the term.)

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
Each course of instruction offered in the Summer Session repre­
sents thirty hours of class room work.
Students are not permitted to register for more than four
courses.

Provision will be made for instruction in courses not included in
the following list, if sufficient number of students apply for same.
Tutors will be provided for pupils who may desire private in­
struction at seventy-five cents per hour.
Pedagogy
Course I. Special course for High School Graduates, and
others who expect to teach this fall.
Many young people who have just been graduated from High
School will teach this fall for the first time. These young people
need special instructions in how to teach, how to organize the work
o f a school, and how to meet the conditions found in rural schools.
The Course we offer gives the following advantages :
A class o f boys and girls will be taught by Miss Harris and
other skilled teachers, in the presence of the prospective teachers.

The conditions of the rural school will be reproduced, as to length
of recitation, number Of pupils, etc. A fter the recitation is ended
the lesson taught and the methods used will be thoroughly discussed.
Opportunity will be given in the second half o f the Course to
students who desire to do' practice teaching.
Charter’s “ Teaching o f the Common School Branches” will be
used as a basic reference work.
Students taking this course should take the courses in the
common school branches in which they are weakest. Credit will
be given in the work o f the Junior year fo r all branches satisfact­
orily completed by students in this course.

Course 2. General Methods— Teaching is now recognized as
both a science and an art. A s a science the teacher must know the
laws underlying the growth o f a child’s mind and the principles o f
mental developm en t,H en ce discussion in applied Psychology will
accompany the regular work in Pedagogy or the art o f teaching.
This course deals with the aim o f education, the process o f
teaching, the teaching plan, etc.
I f time permits attention will be paid to a number of systems o f
instruction such as the Montessori system, the Batavia'system , the
Gary system, etc. This course should be taken by all teachers, as it
is o f the greatest practical value to all who wish to understand the
modem trend o f education.

SPECIAL FEATURES
Chautauqua
The Shippensburg Chatauqua will be in session fo r seven days
in July.
Owing to the high grade o f talent which appears
on the Chautauqua platform it is o f decided educational advantage
to the Summer School students to have the opportunity of attend­
ing. The sessions are held in the afternoon and evening.

Lectures
Among the special features of the Summer school will be a
course o f lectures, which will be free to all members o f the school.
These lectures will be delivered by prominent educators who have
had experience in all phases o f school work.
s ™
You realize of course that there are magnificent opportunities
lying just ahead, When the war ends there will be an unprece­
dented demand for trained young men and women. W hat are you
doing to meet this? Are you likely to be lured away into a “ bund
alley” occuation simply because it pays well now? Just ask your­
self whether it is likely to be a good occupation or profession for
you in ordinary times.

PR IN C IP A L’S LETTER TO T H E ALUM NI
Dear Friends:
You will be gratified to learn that the prospects for our spring
term are exceedingly good. W e feared that the war conditions
might affect our attendance as it has affected the enrollment in most
institutions. It is consequently very gratifying to be able to report
that at this date (March 14) the prospects fo r a large attendance
are very good. W e have the largest advance enrollment in our his­
tory. Our advance registration o f new boarding students fo r the
spring term is now 128 and every day is bringing new enrollments.
I f the attendance oT'day students is as large as it was last year we
shall equal, i f we do not, surpass, the record-breaking enrollment of
that year.
This situation is particularly pleasing to us because it indi­
cates that the young men and women are alert to the opportunities
open to them in teaching, and that they are not being swayed by the
appeals to enter short-cut business colleges or to drop out o f school
in order to earn the high wages now offered in every line of effort.
W e have already begun to organize fo r the work o f next year,
and I appeal to you individually to help us maintain our attendance
in the fall. The temptations will be many to young people, especi-

10

THE

NORMAL

SCHOOL

HERALD

ally those graduating from high schools, to take short-cuts in edu­
cation or to enter some o f the “ blind alley” occupations that will
last only during the war, or at best till business resumes its normal
course. You will be performing a public service if you will lend
your influence to inducing young people to continue their work in
the 'high schools instead o f dropping out, and still better to induce
high school graduates to prepare themselves for teaching. I need
not emphasize with you the necessity o f keeping our schools up to
their highest efficiency in times like these. This can be done only
by inducing strong men and women to prepare for teaching. The
teacher has at last come to his own, not only in public estimation,
but in so material a matter as that o f salary. Salaries will con­
tinue to rise, as the war has brought home to the public a realiza­
tion o f the value o f efficient school work. A t this time I am going
to ask you to constitute yourself a committee of one to induce at
least one young man or woman to come to us in the fall. Elsewhere
in an appeal t* the young people, I have tried to show the oppor­
tunities that we Shall be able to offer next year.
I f you are interested in changing your position I shall be glad
to have you write to me telling me the kind of work you desire, the
lowest salary you will accept, etc. The only payment we shall ask
for this service, aside from your good will is that you enclose the
necessary postage to make possible the correspondence that is in­
volved in our efforts to secure good places for our graduates.
Lastly, I want you to remember that Tuesday, June 25, is
Alumni Day. I should like every reader o f THE H ERALD to turn
to the letter to the classes o f ’78, ’ 88, ’98, ’ 08 and ’16 and to regard
the invitation thus extended as a personal one to all o f you. While
we are especially anxious to have the Alumni attend the reunions o f
their classes, I am also very anxious to have all o f you come back
to us fo r Alumni Day. W e need to take counsel together in these
times fo r we shall be better able to bear the weight o f the war and
its added duties and perplexities as a result o f our coming together.
Let us have a good, big Alumni Rally. W e shall miss many a
familiar face, but we shall join in paying tribute to those o f our
number who are enrolled in the armies o f the nation. W e want to
have the Alumni Procession with the stars and stripes at the head
o f the column, signifying our devotion to those who are in the ranks
and our own consecration to the work that remains fo r those o f us
who are in the second line of the trenches engaged in “keeping the
home fires burning.” So let us come back on Tusday, June 25, and
live over the days that were the happiest and pleasantest o f our
lives.
Fraternally yours,
E ZR A LEH M AN, ’89.

TO TH E CLASSES OF 7 8 , ’88, ’98, ’08 AND ’ IS
M y dear friends:
I want you to regard this as a personal letter to every one of
you. I am writing to remind you not to forget your reunion at the
Normal School on Tuesday, June 25. These are indeed the times
that try the souls o f men and women. W e are called upon to sacri­
fice and to give our best that the nation may win in the titanic
struggle in which it is now engaged. I certainly would not counsel
you to any line o f action that would interfere with the duty we all
owe to the government. But I feel that as the'song puts it we need
to “ keep the home fires burning” now as never before. W e need to
cultivate new friendships and renew the old ones, to lend our best
efforts to have boys and girls remain in school and so fit themselves
fo r the great work that is before us as a nation. W e can do this in
no better way than by coming together, renewing our allegiance to
the old school, and doing everything in our power to assist in main­
taining the high standard that it 'has set before the public.
So we want you to come back on Tuesday, June 25, and renew
the old acquaintances, to be boys and girls again. You will go away
from these meetings stronger and better fo r having been here.
I believe that the classes should hold their usual banquets, but
I should like to counsel all to use moderation befitting these times
in the prices charged and the type o f menu served. I would sug­
gest that the menu be o f the simplest kind possible and of the type
that will represent a real conservation of food. I believe that fifty
cents should be the charge fixed for these banquets under the con­
ditions that we are now called upon to face. A charge of this kind
will make it possible fo r all the members of the classes to come to
the banquet without being forced to realize that they are prevent­
ing the Red Cross or other organizations from receiving their due.
Please remember that the doors o f the old school are open to
you and that your welcome will never be more cordial than it will
be this year. Come back with husband or wife, if you have one, and
bring the boys and girls along, i f you have a family. W e shall be
very glad to co-operate in every way with you and your class officers
in making the coming reunion What it ought to be, a joyous, happy
occasion.
Don’ t forget, finally, that i f you want to have a successful re­
union you must begin to work at once. I f the President of your
class has not begun to work, write to him and stir him to action.
Let every one make himself or herself a committee o f one to induce
all the other classmates to come. Don’t forget the date, TUESDAY,
JUNE 25.
Fraternally yours,
E ZR A LEHMAN.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF A HIGH TYPE OF CHARACTER.
W e believe that the development o f Christian character in our stu­

by the church, the Sunday-school, the Y . M . and Y . W . C. A ., and
especially by the influence o f men and women of high character is
thrown around our students.
THOROUGH SCHOLARSHIP. W e believe in small classes (35
or 40 students) so as to make personal contact between teacher
and pupil possible. W e avoid the evils of the lecture method in
this way.
DEVELOPMENT OF THE STUDENTS’ SOCIAL LIFE.
We
believe the school should take the place of the home and should re­
produce its training for social leadership.
Nothing is more unr
fortunate than to teach certain branches of knowledge and ignore
social training so necessary to complete manhood and womanhood.
THE LO W E ST RATE S POSSIBLE. In times like these when
every dollar is needed for a useful purpose, we believe in keeping
our rates as low as possible fo r boarding, furnished room, heat,
light and laundry. Fortunately we are in a rich agricultural district where prices for food and service are not as high as they are
1 most places. This has made it possible for us to charge but
fo u r and a half dollars a week for boarding, lodging, etc., during
the past year. W e shall continue to keep our rates at the lowest
^possible figure so that no student need be kept away because o f
the cost.

TH E SUMMER SCHOOL
July I — August 9
The six weeks’ session of the Summer School at Normal, which
begins July i promises to be one of the most helpful sessions we
have ever held. The school recognizes that hundreds o f young men
and women just out o f high school will enter teaching this fall.
These young people will be earnest and enthusiastic, but they will
labor under many disadvantages when they begin their work. Many
o f them have been brought up in the town or city and are accustomed
only to the organization o f the city and town schools. They know
little or nothing about the conditions in the rural schools. Others
m ay be familiar with the work o f the Country schools, but as three
o r four years have elapsed since they have attended these schools,
o r since they have studied the common school branches, they are
naturally “ rusty” in these subjects and cannot do the best work.
W e shall meet these conditions by organizing a school which
will be attended by boys and girls from our Model School. W e shall

THE

NORMAL

SCHOOL

HERALD

reproduce the conditions o f the ungraded country schools, both as to
length o f recitation periods and general conditions surrounding the
administration o f the school. Students who are preparing to teach
will be given the opportunity o f observing skilled teachers from our
faculty teach the common school branches to the boys and girls. A t
the conclusion of a period o f teaching the students will discuss with
the member o f the faculty in charge, the methods that were used
and the reason for their use. Toward the end o f the term those
students who so desire, will be given the opportunity to do prac­
tice teaching.
Young teachers will recognize the value of this kind of training.
It will give them confidence in themselves and will show them how to
meet the situations that obtain in the country schools. This course
will also be open to other prospective teachers besides high school
graduates.
A complete outline of the work o f the course is given in another
part of THE HERALD. The course should appeal specially to those
who are preparing for the examination for a State permanent
certificate, or for a professional certificate.
All students
will receive credit in the regular normal departments for the work
that they take at the summer term.
The rates are low : $1 registration fee, $5 for one course, $10
fo r two, $12.50 fo r three, and $15 fo r four courses. For boarding
students the rates for boarding, including furnished rooms, are
$4.50 per week. The summer course offers a splendid opportunity
to Normal School graduates who wish to have additional branches
to their credit. Don’t hesitate to write fo r further information
about the course. It will cheerfully be given.

There is such direful lack o f efficiency and reliability m the

OBITUARIES
KONH AUS. Mrs. Margaret Bishop Konhaus, ’ 74, died. Febru­
a ry 3, 1918.
W e are indebted to a Mechanicsburg paper for the following
account o f Mrs. Konhaus’ death:
“In the 77th yeah of her age, Mrs. Margaret Bishop, wife of
Harry M. Konhaus, fell peacefully asleep at her home on W est Main
' street at 5:3 0 o’clock Sunday evening, after a brief illness.
She
was confined to her bed but a few days before her death. The de­
ceased was an estimable resident o f Mechanicsburg and her death
was sorrowful news to her large circle of friends.
“She was born in Monroe township and spent the earlier years
of her life in that locality, She was one o f the first graduates o f
the Shippensburg State Normal School and fo r a number of years
was one o f Cumberland county’s most efficient teachers. She never
lost her interest in the schools and was always an interested at­
tendant at county and local institutes. She was present at the ses­
sions o f the institute held at. Carlisle the first week in December.
“ She was a close student o f passing events, an interesting con: versationalisti a devoted wife and mother and a kind and obliging
neighbor. In all the circles in which she moved she will b e . greatly
missed. She so lived that fo r her to die was gain.
“ She is survived by a husband, one son Frank B. Konhaus, of
Monroe township and several grandchildren, and in this hour of
their deepest bereavement they have the sympathy o f their many
friends.”
HILL. Miss Alice M. Hill, ’ 85, died February 20, 1918. W e
have the following account from a Franklin county paper:

18

THE

NORMAL

SCHOOL

HERALD

“ Miss M. Alice Hill, who had been an invalid fo r the past three
years, died at 8 o’clock last evening at her home at 537 E ast King
street. She was born in Path Valley, the daughter o f the late James
J. Hill, who formerly resided about two and one-half miles north o f
Richmond. She was a graduate trained nurse and practiced her
profession for many years in various places throughout the State,
including York, Altoona and Johnstown.
She formerly lived at
Greencastle, but for the past several years since her health began
to fail, had made her home here with her sister, Miss Flora E .,
who survives her as do also one other sister, Mrs. Nancy J. Flickinger o f Malvern, Kansas, and one brother, the Rev. John W . Hill,
o f Midland, S. D. Another brother, James M ., died last summer."

DEATH OF JOSEPH F. BARTON
BARTON. When word reached the Normal School that Dr.
Jos. F. Barton had died in Yakima, Washington, most o f us were
inclined to discredit the report. W e had heard o f him not long
before as well and vigorous. In fa ct he was planning a visit to his
friends in the East. But the bad news proved only too true. Dr.
Barton died at the home of his sister, Mrs. W . M . W att, on Friday,
February 15, after a short illness thought at first to be due to in­
digestion, but which later developed into a cancerous affection.
Few men connected with the Normal School were more widely
and favorably known than was Dr. Barton. In his early manhood
he came to the Normal School as a student and was a member o f the
first class, that o f 1874. He was elected county superintendent o f
Fulton county in 1881 and served two terms. A t the expiration o f
his second term he was appointed teacher o f science at the Normal
and held this position until 1906, when he resigned to go to Hamlin
University, as an instructor in physical science. A fter a few years
he left for Yakima, Washington, where he identified himself with
the business interests of that city. Three years ago he was elected
mayor and had just finished his term when he became seriously ill.
Thousands o f our students came into intimate personal contact
with Dr. Barton. He was genial and approachable, and o f a warm
hearted, sympathetic nature. He appreciated especially the strug­
gles o f the country boy and girl to get an education, and helped
many a young man and woman financially in the struggle to secure
an education.
He is gone, but his work remains, and those who were privileged
to know him will join in loving regard to his memory.

One of the most gratifying matters connected with this year’s
work is the fact that we have so large a percentage o f boys. Our
registration shows that by the end o f the spring term we shall have
between 130 and 140 young men. Many normal and training schools
are complaining of the loss of young men. It is therefore exceed­
ingly gratifying to us to note that in spite of the number that we
have lost to the army, we have so large a registration o f young men.

BASEBALL
A t the present time there are eleven games of baseball scheduled
fo r the ensuing season. There yet remain two open dates which will,
in aU probability, be filled by local teams. W e play two different
Normal Schools, Mercersburg Academy, Gettysburg High School,
Wyoming Seminary, and the Carlisle Indians.
Owing to inclement weather conditions the opening game of the
season on”April 13 had to be canceled. The weather has also inter­
fered with practice and so fa r the team that will represent Normal
on the field this year has hot been picked. However we have some
very promising material from which to select the team. They will
surely give a good account of themselves when called •upon to
defend the record o f C. V . S. N . S. on the diamond this year. It is
o f the utmost importance to the team to have the hacking or the

games and encourage every play that the team makes. It is urged
that allcandidates report regularly fo r practice, whether they are
on the first team or not, as all will get a fair chance, and a good
second team is what makes a good varsity.

The past season has been a successful one. In this term and in
the coming year we ask the boys to support the new cabinet as
loyally as we have been supported.
Y ^ a t are we doing? Joint meetings have been held. Systema­
tized Bible readmgs are being carried out. Captains have been appomted on each corridor to remind each boy every night to read his
Hible. Marked changes have been the result. Less swearing, and
better attendance at the meetings have resulted and beyond all doubt
the roots o f spiritual growth have taken a firm hold. Among the in­
teresting topics we have discussed have been, “How Can I Serve
* “£ Uai.ding the ToD^ ue’ ” “Rieht Living,” and “My Responsi­
b l y to M y Parents.” The fa ct that these and the other topics dis­
cussed were planned and speakers appointed at the beginning o f the
term gave us more vital subjects and also better prepared subjects
than we have had fo r years. A t some o f the meetings as many as
seven persons have spoken after the leader has finished. W hat are
the programs like? Here is one that was held in the middle o f the
¡¡¡jig
Sin£mg, Reading o f the Scriptures, Prayer, Boys’ Chorus,
A ddress: “Every Man’s Natural Desire to be Someone Else,” Guitar
and Mandolin Music, Recitations, Singing, and Closing Prayer.
That “ God works in a mysterious way” has been brought home
to the mind o f every boy in school this year. When the fall term
opened; the outlook fo r effective work fo r His kingdom seemed wellnigh impossible. O f the strong workers in the Y . M. C. A . ranks

many had been graduated or had been compelled to drop out to earn
money, others enlisted or were drafted.
But He raised up
new workers in His cause.
Boys rose to the occasion and
developed an earnestness unlocked for. The work prospered beyond
anything anyone could, expect. New leaders came to the front and
assumed command. Among these was our President, Mr. Jo. H ays,
to whom we owe much o f our success as an organization. His spirit
was contagious and others came to help. A s a result of the year’s
effort the manly spirit has reached out and touched many lives.
The earnest desire of the old cabinet, so soon to surrender the
leadership, is for the continued success of the organization. M ay
the growth be many-sided and may the influence for good be stronger
as the days and years go by.

The cabinet leaves with you its prayers and best wishes.

Y. W. C. A.
There has never before been manifested such interest in Y.W .C .A .
work in this school as has been shown during the past term. W e
believe this interest is due to the discussion of present-day topics
at the various meetings.
.
W e consider the attendance of the Sunday evening meetings re­
markable. W e do not over-estimate when we say we have present
at each meeting ninety-five to one hundred girls.
Miss Piper and Miss Zimmerman were appointed delegates to
the Student Volunteer Conference held at Bethlehem in February.
The reports brought back by these delegates convinced us o f the
great work which is being done by missionaries and forced us to the
realization o f the part which we as an organization and as indm dUalS Miss^ Harlow, who is a member o f the Adyisory Board, attended
a convention at Harrisburg and brought back to the girls the plans
fo r the campaign o f North American Students Mobilizing fo r Chris­
tian World Democracy. About eighty-five girls have taken up this
campaign by forming groups for the study and discussion o f C hnstianPprinciples as outlined in “ Student Standards o f Action, for we
h “ e a firm conviction that the teachings of Christ offer the only real
hope in the present world o f strife and the only solution of all in­

BOYS’ BASKET BALL
The close o f the basketball season reveals that once again we
have completed a period that has been very successful.
It has
been a season o f which our coach and players may well feel proud.
We do not reckon success entirely upon the number o f games lost or
won; other factors to be considered are the number o f men trying
fo r the teams, the attendance at games, the spirit manifested and
the confidence o f the school in the teams even in their darkest hours.
This year, especially, when the number o f boys enrolled is not so
large as usual, we think that having enough men attending practice
to make at least five teams is our first claim to success.
All the
games have been well attended and the spirit manifested in the yells,
songs, and cheering for the good plays o f the visiting team as well
as the home team concludes our proof that the season has been suc­
cessful. Although we lose two fa st men, Hays and Preisler, we
look fo r an unusually successful season next year.
W e are proud o f the spirit o f our second team, but even prouder
o f the spirit and record o f our first team.
The members o f «the first and second teams have worked hard,
and without any exception, have pulled together.
They have the
right spirit; they like to win, but they are clean players and good
losers. The following players upheld the second team: Alleman,
Captain; Mellinger, Monn, Myers, Ashway, Horton and Heefner.

Possibly the most interesting and certainly the most exciting
and intense game of the season was the one played with our rival
Normal School, Millersville, Saturday, March 9. Both teams went
into the game confident of victory and in general they seemed well
balanced, as both sides scored quite regularly and each at different
times during the game was in the lead by a small margin.^ The
climax of intensity was reached when two and one-half minutes be­
fore the conclusion of the game, “ time out” was called, and the score
was 24-22, in favor of the opponents. The home team rallied and
scored three points before the close of the game, at which tune the
score was 25-24, in favor of Shippensburg.
. The boys deserve much credit fo r their excellent playing and
everyone was pleased with the type o f game played.

GIRLS’ BASKET BALL
Never before in the history o f the school has girls’ basketball
been so popular and successful. A splendid spirit has prevailed
among the girls throughout the season and the persistent and faith­
ful work o f Miss Conover, together with the introduction o f girls
rules, has added zest and interest to the sport.
^
A regular schedule o f practice was carried out, allowing each
girl two practices a Week. There was a large representation o f
girls from each class. In order to become a player on the first
team, each girl was required to meet the following requirements : 1 ,
health; 2, scholarship; 3, spirit; 4, playing ability.

TH E PRESS CLUB
Having come to the end of another term, the members o f the
Press Club have concluded that this period has been successful.
The meetings have been made very interesting by the addition o f
musical numbers to the program. An interesting and helpful talk
was given by Mr. D. C. Roiar, o f the Shippensburg Chronicle. His
subect was, “ The Making o f a Newspaper.” W e all feel that mem­
bership in this organization is o f great value to us, as it keeps us
in touch with the newspaper world. W e expect that the spring
term o f 1918 will be a very busy one fo r the Press Club. With the
opening o f this new term we look forward to the return o f our former
members and thus to the growth o f the organization.

NORMAL LITER ARY SOCIETY
Normal Literary Society, true to its standards o f ^‘ Science,
Friendship and Virtue,” is fa r more progressive than ever. During
this, the winter term o f 1918, we have indeed surpassed even our
fa ll term of this school year. As usual we have received many
new members, and yet we have suffered a loss, of winch we are
most proud: two o f our senior members, Mr. Chas. Mower aad
Mr. Paul Keggeris, have answered the call to national service.
The various departments o f the society have all contributed
their work. The literary parts of the programs have been excellent. ,
The debates have been exceptionally well given and have been par­
ticipated in by girls and boys alike, and by members o f the lower
classes as well as by juniors and seniors. The recitations, orations
and plays have all merited the praise accorded them.
The musical numbers, always so delightful, have never fade
to please. New books have been purchased, and these, coupled with
earnest practices, have raised the standards o f our musie until we
have surpassed all previous results. Literary and musical values
have been combined in these numbers this term, by having the
selections prefaced by interesting stories o f their origin
The or­
chestra selections, frequently given, haVe also added materially to
0111 From time to time we have had as visitors many old
Normalites. They commended our work highly, as have all our
visiting teachers.

Our message to you old members is to come and see for your­
selves what a marked suceess Normal Society is, and what she is

PHILO LITER ARY SOCIETY
To-day, there is a spirit of unrest pervading the whole country,
demanding new inventions and new happenings, which brings forth
new expressions o f thought and action. So we find this new spirit
m Philo.
.
Throughout the past term we have always been on the alert to
satisiy these cravings by variations in our programs. W e have been
having literary programs, patriotic features, dances, and an unnsual display of musical talent: vocal, piano, and excellent
violin music.
W e are always willing to receive suggestions and to carry out
those which will be helpful to the society. Early in the term it was
suggested that we dispense with roll call, putting the students on
their honor to attend. A fter a month’s trial we decided to go back
to the old way, which we believe to be the better. Lately we have
been criticised about our Review, and it is now the aim o f every
Philo to raise the standard o f our Review during spring term. Dur­
ing this past term our student critic’s work has been o f great value
to ns— in that we have received both destructive and constructive
criticisms.
Our debaters for Inter-society Debate were Miss Romaine Nell,
Miss Esther Secrist and Mr. John Maclay. This year the girls have
been proving their ability as debaters, as was shown clearly by this
selection.
W e are all co-operating to make Philo the camp where we re­
ceive the training to bring forth ability to express our thoughts
in Public.

TH E PHILO GLEE CLUB
I Philo Glee Club is continuing enthusiastically in the good work
it nas begun The roll in spite o f all losses consists o f thirty mem­
bers. The Glee Club is always a prominent feature on the society
program and aims to keep m touch with the spirit o f the evening,
whether it be a patriotic or literary celebration. In this way we have
honored Bum s, Poe, Kipling, Lincoln and Washington during the
terra.
Owing to the untiring efforts o f Miss Adams, the quality o f the
singing is greatly improved. Another happy feature is the fact that
the masculine element of the Glee Club has increased lately. Our
boys, though few, are loyal and faithful.
■
Although the deep-toned voices o f many o f our former members
are now heard m the training camps o f Uncle Sam, any feeling o f
selfish regret for their loss is surmounted by our feeling o f pride.

ville, at which the score was 34-21 in favor o f our opponents, was
not a discredit to the Normal team. Although the game resulted in
a defeat, the team played well. The referee allowed rather rough
playing, and this, combined with the fa ct that the Millersville team
was heavy, put our boys at a distinct disadvantage.
February 13— The Faculty Club met on Wednesday evening
and discussed Moody’s dramas, “ The Great Divide,” “ The
Faith Healer,” and “ The Masque o f Judgment.”
February 18— “ The Romancers” was presented by the Devereux
players in the Normal School chapel, Monday, February 18,
at 3 P. M.
The play is a three-act comedy, which might be
adapted to any time and country. The events of the play take place
on the grounds of two neighboring estates, where the lawns are
divided by a stone wall. The two gentlemen who own the estate pre­
tend they are bitter enemies. The one man has a daughter, Sylvette;
the other a son, Percinet. Both these young people are very ro­
mantic. Consequently their fathers, acting on the principle, that
people are most likely to do that which they are forbidden, strictly
forbid them to have anything to do with each other. Sylvette and
Percinet meet at the wall, fall in love with one another, and meet
every day after secretly. The fathers wish their children to be
married and thus join the estates. In order to appeal to the young
people’s love o f romance, they plan a scene in which Percinet may
rescue his lady from kidnappers, and at the same time the fathers
seem so affected by the event that they become reconciled and con­
sent to their children’s marriage. The wall between the two estates
is tom down and the estates are joined.
The fathers, however,
when they are brought in such close contact with each other, cannot
agree.
A t length it is revealed to the children that their romantic
love affair has all been arranged beforehand. The children, disap­
pointed by this dispelling o f their romance, break their engagement,
and Percinet goes away. Sylvette, through an adventure with an
actor, finds out that romance is not what it seems and that a simple
love affair may be best after all. In the end of the play, when
Percinet returns home ill and broken in health, they become recon­
ciled.
,
The play is simple and charming, and quite suited fo r an
audience of Normal School students. The interest in the play was
lessened slightly by the fa ct that, one o f the players being sick, the
part o f Percinet had to be read. Otherwise the parts were well
taken. The player who took the part o f Percinet’s father was
especially good.
Those who went to the play fo r the purpose o f getting a great
moral lesson were perhaps disappointed, but those who went merely
fo r the purpose of being entertained came away satisfied.

The Devereux Players presented “ Ghosts” to an appreciative
audience in Normal Hall on Monday evening. Owing to the illness
o f two o f their players, they were unable to present “ The Bishop’s
Candlesticks,” as was previously billed. The play was written by
Henrick Ibsen. Like many o f Ibsen’ s plays, it ends tragically.
Some people criticize “ Ghosts,” in that it is morbid and has a rather
too high color. The players performed their parts so well that one’s
interest and attention were held until the curtain fell.
No em­
barrassment nor confusion was shown by any player over the
cramped conditions on Normal’s small stage. Zenita Graf played
the part of the heart-broken, sincere mother, who had the mental
strength to endure suffering and even blame ,without flinching. She
played this part so well that she had the sympathy o f all. Clifford
Devereux, as Oswald the son, had a very difficult part to portray.
Oswald, a young artist, is forced to live a blighted life on ac­
count o f inheriting the infirmities of a dissolute father.
He per­
formed his part so dramatically that it was impossible not to be
convinced o f the awfulness of immoral living.
There was a large attendance in the evening, and all were! so
well satisfied with the play, that it is hoped that the company may
return next year.
CLAIRE FRYSINGER, ’19.
February 23— Economy and good fun are consistent virtues—
the Junior prom has proved it. The class o f 1919 was most un­
decided about the proper course to be chosen fo r its Junior dance.
There were those who argued that the war demands Such a rigid
economy that an expensive class dance is inconsistent with patriot­
ism, and* on the other hand, there was a general feeling that the
Junior boys might be called later to national service and that while
they are with us we ought to give them the most enjoyable time
possible. A middle course between dispensing with the dance
altogether and having the customary expensive entertainment was
chosen. It was decided to have the prom without the elaborate supper
which has been a feature o f previous Junior proms. The class o f
1919 generously voted the money, which under ordinary circum­
stances would have been spent for the supper, to the Red Cross.
This money, which is an annual donation to the Junior class from
the trustees o f the school, amounts to about $125. The spirit o f
patriotism was carried still further by the girls, who voted to select
inexpensive dresses fo r the dance.
The receiving line formed at seven o’clock in the school parlors.
These rooms had been made even more pleasant than usual by the
pretty bowls o f carnations which were in various parts o f the room.
Those who received were Supt. and Mrs. Smith, representing the
trustees; Dean and Mrs. Heiges; Prof. Shearer and Mrs. Stewart,
class deans; and Mr. Charles Taylor and Miss Rillie McMillen, the
class president and secretary.
Having passed through the receiving line, the juniors and their
guests went to the gymnasium, where Naugle’s orchestra furnished

THE

SCHOOL

excellent music fo r the dance of the evening. The gymnasium was
decorated with quantities o f laurel and with flags— the class flags on
the side walls and large American flags at the ends o f the room.
The laurel, and the gray and blue class flags made most attractive
decorations. These, together with the light dresses o f the girls,
made the dance one o f the prettiest ever given at Normal.
The evening was such excellent fun that the absence o f refresh­
ments was hardly noticed, and when the end o f the program was
reached as the clock traveled toward twelve, everyone who attended
the dance could feel truly glad that the class of 1919 had chosen to
have a Junior prom which was consistent with a spirit of sincere
patriotism and good fun.
February 28— Dr. C. H. Gordinier, formerly o f the Normal
School faculty, was a visitor at Normal.
March 1— The last public speaking recital fo r the winter term,
given under the direction o f Miss Trego, was held March 1 ,1 9 1 8 . This

body. Miss Jeannette Hoffman presided at the meeting.

‘ ‘Cleopatra’s Needle,” given by Miss Venita Young, in which she
impersonated an Irishman, who mistook this granite column fo r a
sewing needle. Miss Edith Weigle then read a paper: ' “ Life of
Bernard Shaw.” This paper was prepared by Miss Helen Jarrett,
at the time when the Devereaux Company had intended giving1 one
o f Mr. Shaw’s plays, but as this play was not presented,
the paper was not read until the recital.
Last, but not
least, was a playlet— “ The Retaining of the' Shrew,|| by John W .
Postgate. This one-act comedy was based upon Shakespeare’ s
droll farce and was considered a success by all. The characters
were:
Petruchio— a mad-eap ruffian tamed by marriage— Miss Mary
Frantz! Angelo— stem magistrate softened by matrimony— Miss
Mildred Cessna; Duke o f Illyria-— sentimental lover turned meek
husband— Miss Olitipa Keebaugh; Othello— fierce black general
under sway o f his wife-—Miss Xenia Miller; Macbeth— Scottish
chieftain fond of the “ Barley Bree”— Miss Blanch Heiges; Grumio
— reformed servant of Petruchio— Miss Miriam H om ing; Katherine
— leader in Woman’s Rights’ Movement— Miss Grace Zimmerman;
Viola— patience on a monument prior to her marriage— Miss Myrtle
H ege; Desdemona— become suffragist after eloping with the Moor
— Miss Esther H auser; Lady Macbeth— strong-minded, caustic wife
o f witch-ridden Macbeth— Miss Kathryn Askin.
March 1— The faculty and student body were sorry to lose
P rof. Robert L. Myers, Jr., even to the army o f the nation. Prof.
Myers proved himself an efficient teacher and coach. The foot­
ball situation was not at all encouraging last fall, and several times

his strongest men were summoned to the army just when he needed
them most. He persevered, however, and succeeded in rounding
out a winning team that closed the season very successfully. P rof.
Myers also did fine work with the basketball squad, and the boys
gave a good account o f themselves throughout the season. Though
all were sorry to see Prof. Myers leave, they realized that he was
obeying what he recognized as his duty in enlisting in the aviation
department o f the army. The students and faculty united in giving
him a rousing send-off. The best wishes o f all go with him.
March 2------- The Normal School basket ball team revenged
itself upon the Forestry Academy by winning the second game
o f the series in the home gymnasium on Saturday evening.
The
score was 37-18. It was one of the cleanest and most interesting
games played in the school gymnasium this season.
March 3— Dr. and Mrs. Lehman returned from Atlantic City on
Sunday evening. The sessions o f the National Education Association
were probably the most interesting and important ever held by that
organization. Far-reaching changes, will undoubtedly be made in
the course o f study in various schools of the country.
March 4— Dr. Lehman addressed the Civic Club in Chambersburg on Monday afternoon. His theme was, “ The Problem o f the
Boy-and the G irl^§||:;|5i;ii
March 5— Prof. Stewart addressed a meeting in Newburg,
called by the Committee o f Public Safety on Tuesday evening, and
P rof. Heiges addressed a similar meeting at Jacksonville on W ed­
nesday evening.
March 8— The Junior girls won an interesting and exciting
basketball game from the Seniors in the gymnasium. The score was
17-15.
March 9--------One of the closest and most exciting games of
basketball ever played in our gymnasium was played with Millersville. The Millersville team had won from our boys and came de­
termined to add a second game to its credit.
Our boys went into
the game with a rush and scored 8 points before Millersville had
made a single point. Unfortunately this good beginning led our
team to let up in its play and the Millersville boys came up with a
rush, scoring repeatedly on fouls. They were soon trailing their op­
ponents very closely. The first half closed with the Shippensburg team
one point ahead. During the second half the Millersville team be­
came stronger than ever and nosed ahead o f our boys. With less
than a half minute to play they were two points ahead. Our team,
however, made a determined rush that brought its score to a tie
with but five seconds’ play. Our opponent^ made a foul, from
which Taylor scored, thus winning the game by a score o f 25-24.
In justice to Millersville it must be said that they played a remark­
ably strong game, but they scored 20 of their 24 points from fouls.

March 15— The gymnastic exhibition given by Miss Conovers
classes was a most successful one. Especially good were the folk
dancing of the Model School girls and the contests in marching,
butterfly dancing and volley ball between the freshmen and sopho­
more girls. The latter won by a few points. The obstacle race be­
tween two teams of boys was a most exciting and amusing feature.
March 16— The debate between the Normal and Philo Literary

«question debated w a s: Resolved, That Universal Military Training for
Boys Should Be Substituted for the Present System o f Athletics in
Our Schools. The affirmative, represented by the Normal Literary
Society, was debated by Jo. Hays, Ruth Emmert and Harper W entz;
while the negative, represented by the Philo Society, was debated by
John Maclay, Esther Seerist, and Romaine Nell. The judges were
Supt. U. L . Gordy, Chambersburg; Dr. W . A . Hutchinson, o f Car­
lisle, and Prof. Wilbur Norcross, o f Dickinson College, Carlisle. They
decided in favor of the affirmative and awarded the first prize to Ruth
Emmert, and the second to Esther Seerist. The societies are now a
tie in the inter-society debates, as both have won two debates. The
orchestra played two pleasing selections under the direction o f Miss
Adams, and a male quartette consisting o f Richard Horton, Wilbur
Thrush, Marcus Markley, and Harold Mowery sang a negro melody.
While the judges were making their decision, a glee club made up
o f members of the two societies, sang America’ s Message, to the
accompaniment o f the orchestra. In one ¿sense the debate was a
a try-out fo r the inter-normal school debates that are to follow.
The Normal Society will meet the Normal Society o f Millersville at
Millersville, in a debate on the same question, Saturday, April 20,
and the Philo Society will meet the Shakespeare Society in a similar
debate at Shippensburg on Saturday, April 27.
April 2— In addition to the spring term teachers pre­
viously mentioned, Misses Carrie Kitzmiller and Florence Clippinger are teaching at Normal this spring. Miss Kitzm iller. is a
graduate o f Normal and has had a wide and successful experience
as a teacher.
Miss Clippinger is also a graduate of the school and m addi­
tion completed a course at Lebanon Valley College. She has taught
successfully in the schools o f Franklin and Huntingdon county. A
few years ago she taught during the spring term at Normal and
has now returned to help with the spring term work.
April 4— The spring term opened on Monday.
All day new
students arrived by auto and train. The former means o f convey­
ance seemed to be the more popular and very often nine or ten cars
were standing in front o f the entrance at Normal.
The evening
trains brought the former students and the members o f the faculty.
Work fo r the former students began on Tuesday morning. The new
students were classified and by Wednesday morning everything was
under full headway. The week’s registration leads last y e a r s reg­
istration of new students by 20. Students will continue to enter
during the next five or six weeks and from present appearances, the
record breaking attendance o f last year will be equalled, if not surpassed.
The only event that marred the pleasure o f the spring term
opening was the departure o f Prof. E. F . Graham from Normal.
P rof. Graham has attached himself to the students and faculty at
Normal, all o f whom were sorry to see him leave, even though his

38

THE

NORMAL

SCHOOL

HERALD

departure was caused by his desire to take a place in the National
army. Prof. Graham has done splendid work in agriculture during
the past two years at Normal. He has won the confidence o f the
farming community o f the entire valley, and has been active in all
agricultural work. He early made up his mind to stay at his work
until the call to service should come, willingly foregoing his chance
o f securing an officer's commission. Even when the call came, he
could have been exempted or placed in the deferred class! because
o f his work in agriculture. Though very desirous o f finishing his
work at the school, he felt that he could not conscientiously take ad­
vantage of the opportunity fo r exemption. Prof. Graham left early
on Tuesday morning. The best wishes of the school and faculty go
with him in his army service.
Fortunately it was possible to secure a successor to Prof.
Graham on short notice. The principal learned that Prof. L. E.
Baird, a graduate of the department o f agronomy of State College,
who had been teaching agriculture at Mattewan, W . Va., was avail­
able because o f the closing o f the W est Virginia schools for lack o f
state funds. Fortunately Prof. Baird is a baseball man and has
coached teams. Dr. Lehman got in touch with him at once over the
long distance phone and was able to have him report on Wednesday
at Normal. Mrs. Baird accompanied her husband to Shippensburg
and will remain here during the spring term.
April 5— Dr. Lehman delivered the Commencement address at
Abbottstown on Friday evening. This will be the first o f a series o f
fifteen addresses of a similar character that Dr. Lehman will deliver
this commencement season.
April 5— The Senior class met to elect its officers Friday after­
noon. The following were elected: President, Kenneth Preisler,
New Bloomfield; Vice President, H arper Wentz, East Berlin ; Treas­
urer, Esther Secrist, Duncannon; I v y Orator, Chester Myers, Siddonshurg; Musician, John Maclay, Shippensburg; Historian, Ruth
Emmert, Hanover; Class Orator, Jo. Hays, E tters; Class Will, Lela
Pettigrew, Everett; Secretary, Esther Nell* Harrisburg;; Mantle

The faculty announce the following honors for Commencement
D a y : First honor, reading, Mildred Crook, WiUiamstown» second
honor, oration, Lawrence Warren, Shippensburg; third honor, essay,
Dorothy Feeser, Chester. Honorable mention was made o f Erma
Rolar, Shippensburg; Romaine Nell, Mt. Holly Springs; and Grace
Zimmerman, Allentown.
Dr. Lehman, accompanied by Mrs. Lehman, motored to Abbotts­
town Friday afternoon, where Dr. Lehman delivered the Commence­
ment address. Samuel Johnson, ’16, is principal o f the high school
at Abbottstown and is doing splendid work.
Dr. Lehman attended the Schoolmens’ Week exercises at the
University of Pennsylvania April 11-13. Dr. Lehman is a member
of the executive committee this year.

A t the National Educational Association at Atlantic City
everybody woke up to the fa ct that education has become a
national matter. It is no longer primarily a matter o f County or
even state concern. The federal government plans to make direct
appropriations to the schools to enable them to pay better salaries
to teachers. In order to receive these salaries the teacher must
be highly efficient. W hy not get ready now for the big positions
that will soon be open?

ssssm

JUST A M ATTER OF A R ITH M E TIC
Elsewhere in THE H ERALD attention is called to the desira­
bility o f young men and women avoiding “ blind alley” occupations.
W e wish at this time to utter a note o f warning against another
tendency on the part of young people. A t the present time all young
men and women can secure positions at what appeals to them as
high wages, Young men will drop out o f high school to take positions
in factories and young women will seek employment in offices and
stores instead o f completing their education.
W e find a tendency on the part o f students in a normal school
to accept positions as teachers instead o f returning to school to
complete the work. It is easy fo r any one who can pass the county
superintendent’s examination, to Secure a position as a teacher, and
young men and women are very likely to allow themselves to be
persuaded by friends, boards of directors and others, to give up>
school and to teach. W e do not here refer to those young people
who have been sent to normal by superintendents and others who
are interest! d in having them prepare fo r teaching next year. These
young people have been, and are now preparing for next year’ s work,,
and are to be encouraged in carrying out their plans.
The class to which we refer includes those who have been taking
the regular normal course and who will be ready to enter the sopho­
more, junior, or senior class next year. It is to these that we wish
to present a problem in arithmetic. The problem is th is: “ Will it
pay you to drop out o f school in order to secure a position paying
$45 a month fo r 7 months?”
I f you accept a position, you will be able to earn $315. In two
years, $ 630 ; in three years, $945. A s your tuition will cost you
nothing at the normal school, the only expense to be considered is
your boarding. But under present conditions your boarding will cost

40

THE

NORMAL

SCHOOL

HERALD

you just as much in other places as at the school, so it is a fair
proposition to deduct the cost o f boarding at the school, $190
from the $315 received, for, whether you actually pay this cost to
others or board at home, the actual cost either to you or your
parents is the same.
You will therefore have earned $125 each year in excess o f your
boarding or $375 in the three fe a r s. Considered from any stand­
point, $375 is not a large sum to earn in excess of one’s boarding in
three years.
Let us now assume that a student just completing the freshman
work hesitates whether to return to school or to take a position as a
teacher. I f he returns to school he fails to earn $125 in excess of
the cost of his boarding. Will it pay him to continue in school and
lose this sum? I f he completes the course the lowest salary that
he can be paid legally is $55 a month, but during the past three
years the average salary received by our male graduates has been
$70 a month, and by our girls, $60. Thus during the first year
after graduation a young man will earn $560 (for 8 months is the
average length o f term for normal school graduates) as against
$315 earned by the young man who did not stay to graduate. I f
we deduct the cost of board, $190, he will have $370 remaining as
against $125 earned in excess by the non-graduate.
But our graduates will, during the next three years, receive
salaries much in advance of those paid during the past three years.
$85 or $90 is likely to be the average paid during the next few
years to men, and $75 the average paid to women. In other words,
a conservative estimate is that the young man who finishes the
course at normal will average between $650 and $700 during his
first year, as against the $315 earned by the one who did not com­
plete the course. Looking at it from another angle we may put it
this w ay: in one year the young man who has been graduated will
earn more than the non-graduate will earn in three; that is, he will
save as much in one year as it is possible fo r the non-graduate to
save in three. Hence it follows that from the purely commercial
standpoint it will pay a young man about to enter the freshman
class, to remain in school until he has finished the course. It will
pay him because he will be getting 60 per cent, value on the money
he has invested in his education.
With still greater force it can be urged that the young man
who has but two years before him ought to remain until the work
is completed. A little arithmetical calculation will show that it
would pay him to borrow money and pay 70 per cent, interest
rather than to leave school and teach in order to earn the necessary
funds.
In a similar manner it can be shown that a young woman will
earn 40 per cent, on all the money she must invest in order to
complete the course if it is necessary for her to spend three years

THE

NORMAL

SCHOOL

41

at normal. I f she must spend two years it would be a wise invest­
ment fo r her to complete the course even though it be necessary fo r
her to pay more than 50 per cent, on the money she needs.
A s indicated, this is purely a problem in mathematics thus far,
but there is another side that cannot be measured in dollars and
cents. The young man or woman who has had the opportunity o f
securing a normal school education enters upon the work o f teach­
ing with the consciousness that he is fitted fo r the work. H e will
avoid the mistakes that others will make. He knows that he is
ready fo r any good position that is ahead o f him. W e have said
“ he” but in a day when women are stepping into the places
formerly held by men, when they are becoming principals o f high
schools and grammar schools at high salaries, it must be under­
stood that “ he” is a generic term and in a very real sense includes
women. Teaching never offered so many splendid openings to the
ambitious, earnest young man and woman as it now does. Let us
hope that the young men and women of to-day will not be blind to
the opportunities that are theirs.
