EDITORIAL
In assuming his duties as editor of the Normal School
Herald the new editor, who regards his position as a kind o f
unwished-for legacy, would seek the co-operation of all who
are interested in the paper. If any student or member of
the faculty who happens to know of a good school joke or an
interesting news item will write it out and hand it in, the
editor will be glad of the favor. A school paper should re­
flect the life of the school and be a medium of exchange of
personal information concerning its graduates and friends.
The aid of all concerned is necessary for success in this
direction.
The present editor may say that he will not feel that
by virtue of his position he is called upon to give advice to
all the world in general and to the school in particular. For
he has long since found out that those who give advice
usually either have nothing else to give or give nothing
else; that advice is the one thing which every incompetent
always has an over supply o f ; that as a gift it is something
that nobody wants to receive; that the giver is apt to have
a perverted idea about being his brother’s keeper and that
he must give what he has though of silver and gold he has
none; that if a would-be brother’s keeper were to see to it

first that he keeps himself he would be doing somethingsensible ; that a fool is not to be heard for his much speak­
ing even though wise men seem to be listening; that those
whose advice is worth having are not apt to give it for
nothing.
00
An idiot or a genius, each representing an extreme,,
have, so to speak, no associates. These fail, to recognize in.
those they come in contact with, a consciousness of kind
which is the basis of all enjoyable association and of true
friendship as well. It is but natural for one to choose the
company of those of like intellectual qualities or attain­
ments, disposition or occupation. Therefore, lawyers usu­
ally associate with lawyers, physicians with physicians,
teachers with teachers, and students with students.
Among students, however, at least in the beginning of
student life, the recognition of kind may be considered as
being merely in an incipient stage. Nevertheless, the mere
fact of their coming together for study shows the opera­
tion of impulses in common. The tendency of the training,
in whatever institution, is to strengthen this idea or feeling
of like-mindedness during this impressible period of life.
Indeed, so well is this done usually, that at graduation each
student is almost as if fashioned by a common mould. Of
course, some have more power of resistance than others but
in general the conditions under which one lives and the
associates he has tell what he is or what he is becoming.
Although the strong may not be greatly changed, the weak
are transformed. Many a gambler or drunkard, who if at
the parting of the ways, had had proper associates would
have been respectable, if weak, members of society.
Hence the necessity that an institution of learning re­
fuse to tolerate the presence of any student of doubtful or
questionable character, or anything that may militate against the general well being, if it aims to be what it should
be, a living expression of the higher things of the world.

For several years we have heard so much about Mohonk Conferences, Hague Tribunals, Federation of the

THE

SCHOOL

HERALD

ó

World, Brotherhood of Man, Universal Peace, that we
would think the millenium was almost here. The likable,
well meaning propagandists or exploiters of these ideals,
dreams, illusions, have lately had a rude awakening. To the
historian or the social philosopher these phantastic worldarrangers must appear amusing. The fact, however, that
so many men of high position, or of great ability in some
fields, seem to be carried away with these ideas causes
such questions to be considered with respect by men in
general. Nevertheless, it is hardly reasonable to expect
human nature to be changed by a few peace treaties it mat­
ters not how impressive or inspiring the ceremonies of
signing. What has been from the beginning of the world
is not likely to be done away with in the twinkling life of
a dreamer of dreams. When the sun fails to rise wars will
cease.

A LETTER FROM THE PRINCIPAL
My dear Alumnus:
It is very gratifying to me to be able to report that
Old Normal opened the first week of September with a reg­
istration fifty per cent, in advance of that of last fall. Ev­
erywhere there is evidence of the active aid and co-operation,
o f the Alumni. Through the efforts of Supt. Reber, Way­
nesboro High School is represented by nine of its graduates.
Our thanks are due to Supt. Wagner and Principal Briner
for their active support— and we must not forget another
loyal Alumnus, Mr. J. Clyde Zeigler. As a result of their
efforts we have nine graduates of their High school at
Normal.
Prof. Ralph Jacoby sent us four of his gradu­
ates from Mechanicsburg and our Lykens Valley Alumni
sent us five students from that thriving section.
We
want to thank those of our graduates who are far
removed from the school for their interest.
As a
result we have students from the extreme western part of
the State, from Maryland and from Virginia. The Franklin
County Alumni gave a good account of itself by sending us
so large a body of new students that Franklin county leads

4

THE

NORMAL

SCHOOL

HERALD

in the number of boarding students. Adams and Cumber­
land counties are closely grouped for second place, and York,
Dauphin, and Fulton report increased representation. The
Juniata Valley is represented by a number of new students.
Our local Alumni showed their interest by sending us
the largest body of day students enrolled in the history of
the school. In fact we are not only numerically strong, but
we have a fine body of earnest, aggressive young men and
women.
We are already planning for the spring term. We ex­
pect to have a banner enrollment at that time, as a large
number of students have already engaged rooms. We shall
organize new classes suited to the needs of those who wish
to secure a better provisional certificate or who expect to
teach for the first time. We shall also have special classes
for those students who are looking forward to advanced
classification. It will be possible for such students to com­
plete all or a part of the work of the first or second year.
These classes will be almost entirely in the hands of the
regular members of the faculty.
A large number of students will enter at the beginning
o f the winter term. Where it is possible for a new student
to do so, we would strongly urge entrance at this term
rather than at a later one.
Our new model school is now an assured fact. The
contract for completing the building has been let and car­
penters, plumbers, steam fitters and plasterers will be busily
at work by the time this letter is published, getting the
building ready for occupancy on January 1. Not only will
the Model School have splendid quarters butwewill be able to
use that part of the building now used by the Model School
to great advantage. We shall move our Commercial Depart­
ment to that part of the building and will have a finely
equipped place for typewriting, stenography and banking.
I am especially glad to report that there has never been
a time when our graduates have been so greatly in demand
as they now are. I could have used more than fifty male
graduates of our school during the months of June and July
if they had been available for positions in high schools, and

THE

NORMAL

SCHOOL

as high school principals. I am glad to report that a num­
ber of our women graduates have been elected to high school
principalships. There is no reason why those women who
are well equipped by scholarship and experience should not
hold these positions. I hope during the coming year to
come into still closer touch with all of our Alumni so that it
will be possible for me to be of still more material assistance
to you in the future. I hope to see many of you personally
during the year as I shall aim to visit as many of the Alumni
meetings as possible. Elsewhere I shall have a few words
to say to the officers of these Associations about the meet­
ings for the coming fall.
Again thanking you for your work for and unselfish
interest in your Alma Mater, I am,
Fraternally yours,
Ezra Lehman.

A FEW THINGS THAT WE NEED AT NORMAL
We are anxious to encourage debating, public speak­
ing, essay and short story writing at the Normal. To stim­
ulate interest in these subjects we would like to be able to
offer a series of small prizes either in money, medals or
hooks. We take this method of appealing to our Alumni
either as individuals or through the county or class organi­
zations. We shall be glad to receive sums of money from
five dollars up to be used as the donors indicate. A list of
such prizes with the names of the donors will be published
from time to time in the Herald and in the Catalogue. Who
will be the first to start the ball rolling?
There is a fine place for a big clock in the tower of the
administration building. We need a clock that can be seen
at a considerable distance, and if possible one that strikes
or rings the hours. We appeal to some public spirited
Alumnus to give us a clock to be known by his or her name.
We have a fair collection of statuary but there are
many pieces that we should like to possess. Unfortunately
we find the funds at our command rather low. None of our
Alumni need feel at all backward about offering a donation
o f this kind as we shall be only too glad to receive it.

FACULTY NOTES
The Herald regrets to announce that Prof. A. B. Wallize, for the past three years head of the English Depart­
ment, tendered his resignation last July to accept the Head
of the English Department in the Johnstown City High
High School. Prof. Wallize’s resignation was deeply regret­
ted by the faculty and students, but all congratulate him on
his selection as the Head of a department in one of the larg­
est high schools of the State. Not only was Prof. Wallize a
very successful teacher but his influence for good was felt
in all the departments of the school. He organized and di­
rected the work of the Press Club last year, promoted the
study of good literature by encouraging the pupils to com­
mit a section of good poetry or prose every day, and was the
editor of the Herald. He was also very active in the athletic
department of the school and as Field Manager of the base­
ball association last year proved his business ability. Both
Prof, and Mrs. Wallize will be missed in Shipp^nsburg’s edu­
cational and church organizations.. The best%ishes of all
go with them in their new home.
Dr. Winfield H. Collins has been elected as Prof. Wall­
ize’s successor. Dr. Collins is a man of wide experience as
a teacher and has enjoyed excellent scholastic opportunities.
He was graduated at Western Maryland College and later
took a course in the graduate school of Yale University, spe­
cializing in English and History. His work there won the en­
dorsement of Profs. Cross, Cook, Wheeler, Bourne and Sum­
ner under whom he worked. He has taught as principal of
the Frederica, Del., High School, also in the Southern Fe­
male College at LaGrange, Ga., at Liberty College, Glasgow,
Ky., and at Kansas City University. His publication on Do­
mestic Slavery in the South has been highly endorsed by
students of that phase of history. Dr. Collins is unmarried
and will reside in the dormitories.
Miss Ida Sitler resigned her position as Teacher of Bi­
ology to accept the Head of the Department of Biological
Sciences in Lake Erie College, Painville, Ohio. Miss Sitler
proved herself an earnest progressive teacher while at the

THE

NORMAL

SCHOOL

HERALD

Normal and her resignation was accepted with regret by the
Board of Trustees. The best wishes of the faculty and
students accompany her in her new field of labor.
The position vacated by Miss Sitler has been filled by
the election of Miss Cora F. Macy, of Pulaski, N. Y. Miss
Macy is a graduate of the Pulaski High School and of Syra­
cuse University. Her major work was done in Biology and
she is at the present time specializing in that department
for the A. M. degree. So meritorious was her work while at
college that she was awarded the Woods Holl Scholarship.
She holds a first class training school and college graduate
professional certificate issued by N. Y. State. She comes
to us with the highest endorsements from those who have
known of her work and has already made a very favorable
impression upon the faculty and the students.
Miss Ellen P. Hubbell leaves Normal after completing
successfully the unfinished term of Miss Wheeler. Miss
Hubbell was an earnest teacher, always interested in the
progress of her classes.
Miss Rachel Jones comes to us as Miss Hubbell’s suc­
cessor. Miss Jones resides at Scranton, Pa., and is of Welsh
descent and she inherits all the musical ability of her race.
She is the daughter of Prof. WJ. W. Jones, Supervisor of
Music at Scranton and has thus enjoyed exceptional ad­
vantages in music. Miss Jones is a woman of pleasing per­
sonality and has already won the student body to her and
to her work. She is an excellent vocalist herself and has
aroused very much interest in her subject.

NORMAL NOTES
The expectations of the principal, and the faculty as to
the attendance have been more than realized. The regis­
tration of boarding boys is in excess of that expected and
that of girls fully up to the advance enrollment. Especially
gratifying was the increased enrollment of day students
which is the largest for any fall term in the history of the

8

THE

SCHOOL

HERALD

school. Under the principalship of Dr. Ezra Lehman the
school has certainly gained rapidly in every department.
The first reception of the new term was given by the
faculty to the students Saturday evening, September 5.
Games were provided in the parlor for those who did not
care to dance. Flinder’s orchestra from Chambersburg,
furnished the music.
Miss Harris began the new term by doing institute
work. She addressed the teachers of Adams county at
Gettysburg, Pa., on the subject of Primary Arithmetic and
the teachers of York county at York, Pa., on the subject of
Reading and Phonics. At both places she was pleased to
greet many former graduates and assure them of the Model
School’s continued interest in their work and welfare.
On August 22 Dr. Lehman addressed the Carlisle
Teacher’s Institute on the subject “ The Mastery of Eng­
lish” ; the Altoona City Institute, September 3; and the
Greencastle Chautauqua on September 12, on the subject
“ Unused Material in Education.” He also made an ad­
dress at the Harvest Home service held in the Evangelical
church at Jacksonville, September 20; and an address at
the special services at the United Brethren church in Shippensburg, September 27.
One of the students to enroll this year was Miss Helen
Ausherman, of Franklin county. Miss Ausherman is the
ninth of her family to attend Normal. Six of her brothers
and sisters are graduates of the school, and two others were
students here. This is probably the best record for any
one family in the annals of the Normal School.
Miss Elsie Beck, of Camp Hill, a member of the present
Senior Class, was operated upon for appendicitis in the
Harrisburg hospital, September 3. Her many friends at
Normal are rejoiced to know that the operation was suc­
cessful and that Miss Beck hopes to be able to continue her
work at Normal in the not distant future.
Late in August Dr. Lehman received the following
telegram from Superintendent Samuel Hamilton, Carnegie

THE

NORMAL

SCHOOL

HERALD

Institute, Pittsburgh, Pa.: “ Allegheny county needs 45
more teachers at good salaries. If you have any graduates
who want positions have them telegraph me at once.” So
great has been the demand for graduates of the school
this season that the Principal has been unable to furnish
anything like the number required. This record speaks well
for the work done at Normal.
Mrs. Lehman gave an informal porch party to the
faculty of the Normal, September 3.
Prof. Heiges gave two addresses at the local institute
in his home town, Dillsburg, on Saturday, September 26.
Saturday evening, September 12, the Y. M. C. A. and
the Y. W. C. A. tendered a reception to the new students
o f the school. Everything passed off very pleasantly. The
program was made up of acting charades representing book
titles, and a guessing game in which Normal Celebrities
appeared. Miss Jones charmed everybody with her singing.
She was forced to respond to several encores. The most
amusing feature of the entertainment was a skit entitled
“ Way Down South in Dixie” , in which twelve of the girls
appeared as genuine black faced negro mammies who sang
plantation melodies to the gratification of everybody. The
refreshments were of a very high type and were served in
a most appetizing fashion.
Professor and Mrs. Levan spent Saturday and Sunday,
September 19 and 20, with friends near Carlisle.
Dr. Charles Reed, of Towanda, spent Friday evening,
September 25, with Prof. J. K. Stewart.
Eight graduates of the Carlisle High School entered
the Junior Class this fall; and Waynesboro has nine in the
Junior and Senior classes.

A FEW WORDS FROM THE PRINCIPAL
To the Officers and Members of the County Alumni As­
sociations :
I want to congratulate the Alumni Associations on the
success of their efforts for their Alma Mater. We have at
present nine county or city organizations. I hope to be able
to meet with nearly all of these organizations during the
year, but it may be that because of conflicting dates I may
not be able to meet with all of you. There are a few ques­
tions that are of practical importance to all of us that I am
anxious to have considered by the Alumni Associations at
their coming meetings.
The first of these is the question of the abolition of
the State Board Examinations. The Normal School Prin­
cipals’ Association is considering the question of doing away with these examinations. What is your view in the
matter ? Do you believe that the State Board Examinations
subserve any useful purpose? If they are abolished what
do you believe would be a satisfactory substitute for them?
Would inspection by a Board of Superintendents be satis­
factory ?
A second question that I wish you to consider is wheth­
er it is advisable for the Alumni body to adopt a school
badge or pin, uniform for all classes so that it could be at
once recognized whenever seen. We have more than 2500
Alumni scattered all over the country. Some of our Alumni
believe that we ought to have a pin or badge that could be
worn by all our graduates thus enabling them to recognize
one another whenever they meet. Please consider this
question and if possible recommend some badge or device
that you deem suitable. It might be well to appoint a dele­
gate to represent your Association at a meeting to be held
at Normal next commencement.
A third proposition offered for your consideration is
that of raising an Alumni fund, to be used in laying out a
running track on the athletic field. A committee was ap­
pointed at the last commencement to take up this question.
The committee is anxious to proceed but it awaits sugges­
tions from the different Associations. If each Association

THE

NORMAL

SCHOOL

HERALD

H

should pledge a certain amount for this or any other pur­
pose the committee would be able to go ahead during the
year and have everything in readiness for the next Alumni
Reunion.
These are three important questions on which the man­
agement of the school is desirous of having your opinion.
We shall appreciate their action if the secretaries of the
Associations will see to it that these matters are brought
to the attention of the Associations at their meetings.
Finally, I hope that all the Associations may have very
successful meetings and that in those counties where no
such organization exists some of our Alumni will arrange
for a meeting looking to such an organization. If I am un­
able to be with you at your banquets I want you to realize
that I am there in spirit and wish you still greater success
in all your labors.

Y. M. C. A.
We are very fortunate in having all the members of
last year’s cabinet with us this year. Pres. J. F. Slaybaugh, T 6; Vice Pres. Gilbert Quickel, T 6; Secretary Glenn
A. Lehman, ’ 16; Treas. J. Roy Hoke, ’15; Assist. Sec. Harvey
J. Becher, ’16.
The annual informal party was held on the first Friday
evening of the term. The evening was spent in playing
games and hearing addresses by members of the faculty.
After the speeches and games refreshments were served.
The purpose of this reception is to extend a hand of welcome
to all new students.
The first religious meeting on Sunday evening, Sept. 6,
proved very successful. Our President, Mr. Slaybaugh,
gave a very good talk on “ Decision.” Profs. J. S. Heiges
and H. W. Snyder also made some very impressive remarks
on the subject. The meeting was dismissed with prayer
offered by Dr. Ezra Lehman.
The Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. organizations met in joint ses­
sion on Sept. 13. The meeting was addressed by Rev. A. B.

Van Ormer, of the Lutheran church of Shippensburg, who,
as usual, gave one of his very interesting talks. The stu­
dents all are sorry to learn that Dr. Van Ormer has ac­
cepted a call to one of the large churches in Altoona, Pa.
Messrs. Gilbert Quickel and J. Roy Hoke, the delegates
to the Northfield Students’ Conference, made their report
at the third meeting, Sept. 20. It proved to be entertaining
and instructive. By having the report made early in the
year we believe greater interest will be taken in the work,
as the inspiration is before the students for the ensuing:
year.
The two organizations have arranged for the annual
play to be given on Thanksgiving evening. The proceeds
as usual will be used to further the work of these Christian;
Societies.
Glenn A. Lehman, ’16, Secretary.

Y. W. C. A.
The girls who were here last year, returned again this
fall very enthusiastic over this year’s work. They at once
started to co-operate with the cabinet and with Him who
leads us to make this year be successful and stand out from
all the former years.
The attendance at our Sabbath evening devotional
meetings has been very encouraging. The meetings have
been led by members of the cabinet. We have not taken
any particular course of study for the meetings but each
leader selects her topic, and references, and thus individ­
ually enters into the meetings. This helps to make them
more interesting.
We are planning to have the reports of the Eagles Mere
conference given at the meetings during fall term, and to
have one delegate report at a meeting.
We are very glad to say that the chairman of our Mem­
bership Committee has visited all the new girls, and that
she has secured all the girls except four as members of our
Association. We hope that the new members will be inter­
ested in the work, and will do all they can to make the year
a success. ,

Before our Y. W. and Y. M. C. A. reception, the social
committee went to each girl’s room and invited her to at­
tend the reception. This was done so that the new girls
would be encouraged to go and enjoy the evening.
When we returned to school this fall we were very
sorry to find that our advisory board had been changed.
At the same time we were very glad to welcome Miss Wylie,
Miss Jones and Miss Alice Huber on the board. We feel
sure that they will give us many helpful suggestions.
Our Vice President, Miss Ada Lehman, and our Treas­
urer, Miss Maudleen Stevens, could not return to school
this year, so at a meeting of the cabinet we elected Miss
Florence Winterstein, ’ 15, vice president, and Miss Eliza­
beth MeNeal, ’ 15, treasurer.
Now with the help and guidance of our Master, we ex­
pect to have a year’s work that is overflowing with enthusi­
asm and interest.

NORMAL LITERARY SOCIETY
The new school year has begun with renewed vigor
and zeal by Normal Literary Society. One of the strongest
points of the Society is, that every one prepares and renders
his or her part cheerfully and willingly. The attendance is
good and great interest is manifested in the work.
The constitution of the society is strictly enforced, es­
pecially the provision with reference to the one dollar initi­
ation fee. As a consequence there is a sum of money in the
treasury.
The society received a large number of new members
this year. As some of them are very talented, an interest­
ing and profitable year is indicated..
The Normal Literary Society is always glad to have
former members visit it and give it the benefit of anything
they have gathered from their experience and observation
that they may think helpful.

PHILOMATHEAN LITERARY SOCIETY
The school year of 1914-15 opened with the enrollment
of many new members, thus increasing our membership
roll to one hundred forty one members.
We were glad to welcome all the new members and hope
they will find our society not only interesting but also in­
structive.
Our first meeting of the year was held Friday, Septem­
ber the fourth. It was well attended and the spirit was re­
markably good. The work as a whole is comparatively the
same as in former years.
The members of our society are putting forth every
effort to make Philo Society a success. So let us all work
together until we reach this goal of “ Success” not only in
society but in our every day lives.

THE PRESS CLUB
Since we have returned to school, the Press Club has
again resumed its work. With last year’s outgoing Seniors,
we lost several members from our Club. We miss very
much those who were active with us but we hope that the
work will be carried on just as enthusiastically this year as
it was last year. In fact, already, a number of new mem­
bers have been enrolled in the club.
We lost our Club President through graduation. A t
a meeting of the club, held September 11, the following
officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, J.
Roy Mathias, ’15; Vice President, J. Campbell Coons, ’ 15 ;
Secretary, Gertrude E. Brandt, ’15; Assistant Secretary,
Carrie M. Smith, ’15; Curator, Margaret A Lerew, ’15;
Assistant Curator, Verna M. Myers, ’ 16; Reporter to the
Principal, Harvey J. Becher, ’16; and Reporter to the Her­
ald, Walter E. Shank, ’ 16.
Last year Prof. A. B. Wallize was the Club’s advisor
and we feel that although we shall miss him in our work, we
have been very fortunate in having Dr. Lehman to take his

place. Dr. Lehman has always been very much interested
in our work and we are sure that we shall have a most suc­
cessful year’s work with him to guide us.
What are you, Alumni, thinking of us? Do you think
we are self-sufficient ? Well, we’re not and we want your
help. W,e are always glad to receive suggestions from the
outside world and we must look to you for them. In con­
sidering us and your connection with us, do not forget our
motto: “ For the good of the School.”

DEPARTMENT OF VOCAL MUSIC
A number of young ladies have registered to study
voice, others have expressed their intentions of taking up
this line of work later.
Before the final recital in June, these students will be
•given opportunity to appear in public, by taking part in the
monthly musicales given in the parlors.
The Normal and Philo Glee Clubs are doing good work.
In both clubs there are some very fine voices, also good
music readers.' May the interest in this work not only con­
tinue, but increase.
DEPT. OF INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC
The increased number of students in the school this
fall has affected this department most favorably.
Fifty music students have registered in this depart­
ment at this early date.
The first meeting of the Music Club will be held the
second week in October. We hope to have these musicales
regularly throughout the year to afford the music pupils
an opportunity of acquiring ease in playing in public.

aims to be a progressive Normal School, consequently we
note the effort now being made by those in charge of the
athletic activities to arouse interest and enthusiasm in the
track work. Prof. Snyder, the Physical Director, called a
meeting of all the boys to discuss plans for the organization
o f a School Athletic Association and to also create interest
in an inter-class meet to be held some time in October.
Speeches were made by Dean Heiges and Prof. Snyder out­
lining the plans in mind toward greater athletic activity at
Normal. A goodly number of the boys expressed their
willingness to enter events for an inter-class meet. Prac­
tice was inaugurated the following day and the meet is as­
sured. This is to be a preliminary to a more important meet
in the Spring. Prof. Snyder was empowered to appoint a
committee to draw up a constitution and by-laws for an
athletic organization and appointed Grove, Frehn and
Packer from the senior class, Mellinger and Slaybaugh,
junior class, and Wolf, sophomore. This committee will
consult with Professors Heiges and Snyder of the Faculty.
In the effort being made to foster track athletics the
hearty and substantial co-operation of the Alumni is sought
and needed. We appeal to all to get out your bellows and
turn the draft on the embers of your old school spirit and
arouse it into a flaming fire to burn ever brighter before
the Penates of your old school. Everybody push and pull
and we will arrive.
Basketball practice will begin as soon as the track meet
is over. Prospects are exceedingly bright for a winning
team. All of last year’s Varsity are in school as well as all
members of last year’s Reserves. In addition there will be
a number of new members trying for positions so there is
every evidence of a very active and successful season, bar­
ring injuries and sickness. Prof. Snyder will again coach
the team and is also arranging basketball songs and new

COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT
The outlook for the commercial department at this
writing is very encouraging. A number of new students
enrolled for the course at the beginning of the Fall Term,
September the first, and several students from the Normal
Department took up Special Work, Typewriting especially,
and are doing creditable work at the machine. Shorthand
students who enrolled April the first have completed the
twelfth lesson in the Gregg Manual, and are now capable
of writing at a fair rate of speed, and of reading their notes
readily. With the completion of the Model School building,
January the first, giving us increased facilities, we hope for
a larger enrollment, and will use all the means at our com­
mand for placing the department on a basis that will com­
pare favorably with the best commercial schools in the
country.
TO YOUNG MEN
“ If young men could understand what it means to as­
sociate with tactful and resourceful business men, to take
their dictation, to write their thoughts, to think, to work,
to invent, to plan, to execute, in complete accord with that
which is brightest and best in business life, they would not
hesitate to prepare for a stenographic position.
Now for the opportunities. Everyone knows that the
young man who understands shorthand and typewriting
can start out at a salary double that of one who is ignorant
of these branches. And this in only the smallest part of
his advantages. The other one usually has to start as an
office boy or in some other obscure position where he learns
little or nothing of the business; the stenographer invari­
ably does work which if he is ambitious and wide-awake,
will make him familiar with the business in a very short
time,

The young man who imagines that the opportunities of
the present day are fewer than those of other years is de­
ceiving himself. The opportunities are greater than they
ever were. Te conditions only are more exacting. The
world today demands special training; for the untrained or
the unready it has no use. To the young man, therefore,
we say: be ready, learn stenography and typewriting and
then you will be prepared to embrace the opportunity when
it comes!
Our Special Course would make you proficient.
This school promises what it can do and no more, and
then does what it promises. Ask any former student.
Our greatest satisfaction comes from the consciousness
that our school is helping young persons help themselves.

’98. We clip the following letter from Miss Edith
Strite from a Greencastle paper, the Echo-Pilot, as we
think it will interest many of bur readers.
CLIMBED MT. RAINIER
Miss Edith M. Strite Had Interesting Experience in Ascend­
ing Mountain Peak
Greencastle friends of Miss Edith M. Strite, formerly
of town, who has been engaged in teaching in the State of
Washintgon, the past two years, will be interested to learn
that Miss Strite recently ascended Mt. Rainier, the highest
peak in the United States, a feat which has been accom­
plished by few women ; indeed, so difficult is the ascent that
Miss Strite had difficulty in persuading the guides to accept
her as a member of the party.
In writing to her sisters and brother here of her ex­
ploit Miss Strite tells an interesting story of the ascent from
which this paper is privileged to publish the following ex­
cerpts :
“ I just came back from Rainier; it is the most wonder­
ful place in the world and every moment there was exciting.
I really climbed to the summit, a stunt which very few wo­
men have accomplished. We left camp at 11 p.m., four men,
a guide and myself; we climbed with a lantern until 3
o’clock in thè morning when the sun ebgan to rise, and we
continued climbing until noon. As you probably know,
Rainier is 14,408 feet high, the highest peak in the United
States, excepting Alaska.
“ For eight miles we climbed over glaciers, crevasses,
moraines, and rocky pinnacles, every step of the way being
extremely dangerous; a single mis-step or a rolling stone
would have meant a sheer drop of several thousand feet, if
you didn’t drop into a crevasse the first slide. It was cold
and windy so that one had to hold to rocks sometimes to
keep from blowing off.
“ At the very top is the old volcanic crater, which is
still hot and the snow is melted off from it continuously.
It was great fun to lie in the crater for an hour’s rest and

T h R NORMAL SCHOOL Hf i RALD

27

get warmed up. There are spots in the crater which are
so hot that one can be scalded by steam.
“ The guide fitted us out in togs all alike, heavy trousers,
heavy woollen stockings so big I had to wear a No. 7 shoe
to get it over them; the shoes come to my knees and the
soles had calks an inch long to prevent slipping; then we
wore lumberjack coats, heavy gloves and carried alpen­
stocks; our faces were all painted with white paint and we
wore goggles on account of the effects of the sun on the ice,
which is very hard on the eyes and blisters one’s face if not
painted.
“ The altitude and looking down on the snow peaks be­
low usually makes people very sick but I did not even feel
dizzy, though the rest of the party, excepting the guide and
one boy were made quite ill and dizzy.
“ In all that hard climb all that the guide would let us
eat was a hardtack or two, an orange and an occasional sip
from a bottle of weak, cold tea which he carried; and we
were mighty glad when drinking time came, to take turns
drinking from the bottle, just one swallow, when I was
thirsty enough to drink a gallon. He said, however, that
food, at that altitude, would have made us ill, and, indeed,
the little the men of the party ate came up.
“ Taking it all through it was the most wonderful ex­
perience I ever had.
“ By the way, the first day we were at “ the Camp of the
Clouds,” in Paradise Valley, a party of men came down from
the summit, dressed in the climbing togs and we were near­
by watching them wash the paint from their faces when
what was my surprise to recognize one of them as Dr.
Barton.”

us about the schools in that section.
“ Received the Normal Herald and Catalogue today and
was very much pleased to receive them, so much so that we
straightway took the catalogue to the County Supt., Mr J .
E. Young, of Umatilla Co. He was so much pleased witn
it that he asked to keep it for a week, so I just told him to
keep it for always. He was very much pleased with it. So
would you kindly send me another one. You see Mr. Young
was formerly from Penna. He came from the California

Mr. Geiss and I are going to teach has a population of 500;

building to the equipment, a longer course and the new de­
partments, ‘especially Manual Training, show a decidedly
progressive spirit.
The successes of this year’s Basket Ball team show that
the athletic spirit still predominates at C. V. S. N. S. To
be personal I might state the knowledge I gained of that
game stands me in good stead. Last year I turned out a
championship team and to date this year we have won every
game and are in line for the championship of the Big Bend
country.
Last week I received a Life Certificate from the Supt.
of Public Instruction, Henry B. Dewey, based on my Nor­
mal diploma, an examination and successful work done in
this state. Since coming here the Board of Education has
built a new high school building, introduced a science de­
partment, manual training and agriculture||bought new
equipment, and lastly the state has accredited our high
school.
Find enclosed twenty-five cents for a year’s subscrip­
tion to the Herald. Trusting that good luck and progress
will be with Normal always, I am,
Very truly yours,

“ State College Pa., Aug. 4, 1914.
“ Dr. Ezra Lehman,
Shippensburg, Pa.
Dear Dr. Lehman:—
The following is an account of a little reunion that we
held here at State College several weeks ago.
On the second Friday evening of the session the graduats and former students of “ Old Normal” assembled on the
green in front of the beautiful Carnegie Library and spent
a most delightful time together.
There were twenty-one present, and the time was spent
in chatting over old school days, with now and then an im­
promptu speech, or a vocal solo thrown in. Singing the
familiar school songs, and giving yells were also much in
evidence.
The little crowd was honored by the presence of Miss
Laura Staley, an Alumnus, and now Supervisor of Music in
Lower Merion township. Miss Staley is a member of the
Summer faculty here, and is very efficient and popular as
an instructress. She is ever loyal to the “ Red and Blue,”
and kept the meeting going from start to finish.
The shades of night began to fall rapidly, and the time
came for the meeting to be closed. All joined in the singing
of “ Alma Mater” and in the giving of the school yell, when
each went to his abode with many a kindly thought for the
Old School.
With best wishes for yourself and the School, I remain,
Sincerely yours,
J. Clyde Zeigler, ’10.”

where she is teaching: “ I came to Canonsburg August 31
and began to teach the next day in East Canonsburg which
is a foreign settlement. Of my thirty-eight pupils only two
are Americans; the remainder are Italian, Slavish, Russian,
Polish, German, and some half Indian. I have never taught
an easier room. Have fourth and fifth grades. The chil­
dren seem so eager to learn and they are much more easily
controlled than Americans. They are very attractive to
me and I am deeply interested in them. Our building is
outside the town limits— but we have a very nice building.
It is fitted up for teaching cooking and sewing and twice a
week the girls from the fifth grade up are taught domestic
science.”

Dr. Lehman has been forcibly impressed with the ne­
cessity of securing better results in reading in the public
schools. He invited the leading text book companies to send
copies of the various readers and charts published by them.
More than a hundred readers and books on reading have
been received besides a number of charts. These have been
placed in an alcove especially set apart where they can be
consulted at all times by the students.
