Dear Alumnus:
The college buildings are strangely quiet—all the students have
gone home for the holiday vacation. But when the Herald is in your
hands the first semester will be a thing of the past and the work of
the second semester will be well under way.
The financial depression has been acutely felt in our service
area and the drought has added to the problems already confronting
our people. We have lost a number of promising students because
of their inability to meet even the comparatively low expenses inci­
dent to their course here. We have never appreciated our Alumni
Loan Fund quite so much as we did. this year. It enabled at least
twenty-five students to continue their studies with us. Members of
the Alumni may rest assured t h a t ,their continued contributions to
this fund will be greatly appreciated and in no way can they better
show their appreciation’ of their Alma Mater than by making it
possible for worthy students with limited means to continue their
work here.
Home Coming Day wasmne of the outstanding dates of the first
semester. The weather was fine and more than five hundred Alumni
of the even-numbered years were present at the football game and
dinner. We were glad to welcome a large delegation of seniors from
various high Schools who accompanied the Alumni. The addresses

of Dr. E. M. Gress ’96, State Botanist; Harry E. Gray ’02 of the
Landis Tool Company, Waynesboro; and Clyde Ziegler ’10 of the
William Penn High School, Harrisiburg, were timely and appropriate.
Dads’ Day brought the largest turnout of fathers that we have
ever had. We are all looking forward to Mothers’ Day on a date yet
to be determined but which will be shortly after Easter.
We are gratified to be able to announce that work on the new
Library Building is well under way and we have reason to believe it
will be ready for Occupancy by next September.' We need a new
Gymnasium as we have outgrown our present equipment and a new
heating plant has also been put in our budget for the next biennium.
There has never been a time when the need of a liberal building
appropriation was as urgent as it is now. We are asking the legis­
lature for sufficient funds to erect the two new buildings listed
above. We shall appreciate your influence in helping us secure the
necessary appropriation to meet our pressing building needs.
The work on our new Athletic Field will Upon be under way and
we shall soon have a field suited to the needs of our large body of
women students and the children of the Training 'School.
Our
présent field will then be turned over to the men students.
Remember that our registration for the fall session begins on
January 1. A number are already enrolled and we advise early
registration so that your pons and daughters and those of your
friends can secure pleasantly located rooms. We can always provide
good rooms-;if ;the students will register early.
: Snovv covers the campus as I write and Commencement seems
far off—but the months have a way of slipping by and before we
know it May 23—Alumni Day—will be here. Last year the Alumni
Reunions were especially well attended and interesting. We have
every reason to believe that the classés; of ’81,' ’86£$91, ’96, ’01, ’06,
’l l , ’16,f|<21, ’26, and ’29 will be here in large numbers. My long per­
sonal acquaintance with members of the classes of ’86, ’91, ’96, and ’01
leads me to believe that something will happen when the “boys and
girls” of those yesterdays come back. Dr. Heiges assures me that
’06 and ’l l “were no slpUjeheS,” and I know that the youngsters of ’16,
’21, ’26, and ’29 know ,how to;.,“reune”. .
We give elsewhere the names and addresses of the presidents
and Secretaries ofpthe classes listed above. Arrangements for re­
unions, including place of meeting, etc. should be made at the earliest
dates possible.

Remember the date, Saturday,. M:ay 23, The Alumni Procession
will form on the campusyiat 1:15. At 2 .o’clock the Alumni Reunion
and Business Meeting will be. held. This session will adjourn at
¡§30. Many of the classes will hold their banquets and reunions
immediately afterwards. Shippënsburg has three hotels: the Sher­
man House, the Port Morris Hotel, and the Morrison Hotel and
Restaurant. All of these have suitable rooms for a banquet and
dance. The; Women’s Auxiliary organizations of the Church of God,
Lutheran, Reformed, and Penn Street United Brethren churches will
furnish .meals- in thé “basements of their respective churches. But
don’t forget that the important thing is to make your reservation
early.

trust it will not be too late to wish all Of you a Very 'Happy and
Successful New Year.

A LETTER TO TH E GRADUATES OF TH E TW O AND
T H R E E Y E A R COURSES
Dear Friends: I am anxious that you shall note the opportunities open to you
during our Summer Session. We know that at least half of our
student body during the Summer Session will be made up of Alumni
who are desirous of completing the four year course. The time is
not far distant when graduation from the four year course with the
baccalaureate degree will be required of all applicants for the higher
type positions.

THE

college

s

You are probably iamiliar with the fact that practically every
conference of superintendents and principals held during the pa,st
year has recommended that the two year course be lengthened to
four years. The Board of Presidents of State Teachers Colleges
have recommended that no -students be graduated in the two year
course after September 1935. This' does not mean that the present
two or three year certificate held by .you will be. invalid, but it does
mean th at preference will be given students who are graduated
in the four year-course. Of course the better salaried positions will
demand graduation in one of the four year curricula.
Those of you who are forward looking are undoubtedly planning
to complete the four year course just as soon as possible. You will
note that it is possible for you to secure six semester hours of credit
during the Summer Session. Our courses are tentatively outlined
in this number of the Herald, but it is quite possible that many
other courses will be given, especially if there should be a demand
for them. If you are a graduate of the two year course, you may be
interested in noting that the advanced two year curriculum is being
revised and that a new course, much richer in content than the form­
er one, is about to be adopted.' This new course will ;be especially
attractive to men and women who wish to remain in the elementary
field as teachers,- supervisors, ,or principals.
Undoubtedly the single ¡¡salary schedule will also be adopted.
This will make it possible for a graduate' in the elementary field in
the four year course to receive the same salary th at is paid a
graduate of the same experience in the secondary field.
We are planning to make the Summer Session especially inter­
esting and helpful to all of you, but we can help you much-more if
you will write us indicating the branches in which you are interested.
The April Herald, which will be in your hands not later than
the first of that month, will contain a complete outline of the
branches that will be offered, the schedule of classes, etc., but, in
the meantime, don’t hesitate to write to us relative to the branches
in which you are interested.

courses who are looking forward to the completion of the B. S. de­
gree. We were gratified last summer to note-: that more than onethird of our student body was made up of our forward looking
Alumni. In the light of legislative action in numerous states since
then we feel that the term “forward looking” is peculiarly applicable,
to these students. For a number of states have raised the require­
ment for teachers in all grades to four years of -academic and pro­
fessional training in advance of graduation from high school, and a
group at or near our borders have raised it to three years . 1*The two year certificates held by our graduates will continue to
be legal in Pennsylvania, but when the holder of such ¡certificate
wishes to secure a position in a B a te with a three -or four year
standard, he will find that his tw o,year certificate will not be ac­
cepted. Even in our own state' a large number ,of superintendents
and principals in progressive districts are requiring the baccalaureate
degree or post graduate work in addition to the two year certificate.
Certainly every progressive teacher who holds either a two or
three year certificate should plan to complete the four year course
as soon as possible. The summer course offers: a fine opportunity to
begin or continue this work.
One of the most encouraging features of our work is found in
the fact th at one-third of our present student body is enrolled in the
four year course.
This course should be particularly attractive since the larger
universities have accepted the graduates of State Teachers Colleges
in the four year course as candidates for the Master’s degree. Our
own B. :S. graduates were enrolled last summer in seven of the out­
standing universities as candidates for the Master’s degree. We
believe this is aS it should be. The universities and large colleges
should carry on graduate work in advance of the baccalaureate de­
gree and the Teachers Colleges should give the courses required for
the bachelor degree.
At the recent Educational Congress held in Harrisburg, borough
and city superintendents joined in paying tribute to the work being
done by graduates of the four year course in the State Teachers
Colleges.
They stressed the fact that these graduates were not only well
trained academically, but that they were finely equipped profession­
ally, that they knew how to outline a lesson and to present it to

The

•t

pupils. They called attention to the fact that these graduates under­
stood the technique of teaching and that they had the proper attitude
toward their work. _
This was a fine tribute, especially when we remember that it is
only five years ago that this and six other Normal Schools were
recognized officially as Teachers ¿Colleges.
A teacher with one or more years of experience in the;, public
schools will be able to secure a good position when he or she com­
pletes the four year course. Why not return for the Summer Se.sjg
sion and begin or continue the work needed for this degree ?
We want to offer the courses needed by our graduates. You can
help us if you will look over the appended list of subjects and tell usT
what two subjects you would like to take. Some of these you will
note are Certain to be given. Others will be given if enough persons
elect them. If you will notify us now, which courses you desire To
take, we can arrange to meet your needs, but we may not be able to
offer them if you and others interested do not give us the desired
information. It may seem a long time till June, but'w e must make
our arrangements in the matter of faculty and courses a considerable
time in advance. Won’t you help us to help you by giving the de­
sired information promptly ?
If you want a pleasantly located room, we ask you to send the
ten dollar room reservation deposit as soon as possible. If you ex­
pect to come as a day student, it is not necessary for you to send re­
servation deposit in advance, but we do want to know the subject:*;
in which you will be interested. In any event, fill out the enclosed
registration blank. Don’t hesitate to ask questions about subjects
in which you are interested.

Some one has said the real value of athletics in an institution
is determined by the action of the Student body and the team in
the presence of defeat. It is easy to maintain a fine esprit du corps
when the teams are winning one victory after another, but if there is
weakness 'in the coaohing, dissatisfaction with the organization of
the team, or lack of support by the student body, it will show, itself
when a .series of defeats must be m et.-'
Judged by that test-the football season of 1930 was a marked

“To him, who in the love of Nature, holds
Communion with her visible forms, she speaks
A various language; for his gayer-hours
She has a voice of gladness, and a smile
And eloquence of beauty, and she iglides
Into his darker musings with a mild
And healing sympathy that steals away
Their sharpness, ere he is aware.”

The following plan of Nature Study is carried on in our Train­
ing School and our children are keenly interested in the prob ems
thus afforded. This article is therefore offered to you with the hope
that through these suggestionsJobber children may be helped to feel
and appreciate the interests of Nature and. its problems m thenown environment.
The book of nature lies open before titer-child and he himself is
a part of it; hence we as teachers should use this content as a means
of continuing his growth and helping him to understand and appre­
ciate the meaning and significance of the world about him. ^ He
must be led to fdel the relationship of. plants and animals to him1 H I to each other, and to the world at large. He must also see that
there are natural laws, that affect the growth and development of
these several forms^of lif|f An appreciation of the meaning of
inter-dependence is thus begun in his experience. Since children see
things as wholes at first, it is necessary to teach them to note details
and to find these relationships. Nature Study should therefore:
1.

open the eyes of the child to the wonders and beauties about

2i - d f i ’lop sympathetic' interest in the plants and animals of

his region,
8, give him usable facts and materials,
4. give him a wise use for his leisure time,
5'. give him a basis for understanding other subjects,
6. free him from Superstition and awe,

7. show him that Nature knows no death when her activities
are not interrupted, and above all
.. ' .
8. give the child a reverence for God as the Creator of all life
and the forces that control it.
From the teacher’s standpoint certain steps should be kept 1.1
mind as the subject is taught. These are:
1 . the fact,
2. fhe reason for the fact, (if it can be proved) and
3. an attempt to leave a question in the mind of the child that
will lead,to further investigation.
The following principles should give the teacher in her proce1 . study the thing in its natural envirdnment if possible.
2. select definite problems,
3. select those common to the child’s experience,
4. since children are most interested in the activity side o|

life, make structure incidental to habit,

show the need for adaptability of the plant or animal to its
environment.
6. Let the child have the joy of “finding out”. Therefore do
not tell him things that he can discover for himself.
7. Choose topics in season, and
8. suggest books that will supply further information on the
subject.
My own pupils have found keen interest in trying to find out who
the friends and enemies of their gardens, fields and orchards were,
and so binds, toads, insects, earthworms, and weeds were studied
with' this problem in mind. We tried to give as many contacts as
¡possible through:
1 . observation, >
-2. pictures and sketches,
;3. personal experiences, and
4. through slides and movies whenever possible.
All of these means helped the child to reach a conclusion as to
whether he wanted the free-going plants and animals in his environ­
ment. When studying the earthworm which the /children found
when making their gardens, the problem was raised as to how this
creature could get into the ground. After watching the'worm they
found that its head was pointed, and its body was tubular so that
it could swallow the soil where it burrowed, then carry it to the
mouth of its burrow and deposit it. They came to an appreciation
of why it had no eyes when they saw that it m ust push its head into
the hard soil. They discovered that the worm w a|fdoing many
things that aided the gardener such as loosening the soil, letting air,
water, and heat in to the roots of plants and that this here-to-fore
repellent creature was^of some use, and should be kept in the soil
instead of being crushed or thrown about.
During the winter season the birds that remain with us may.
afford the most likely studies. We began by having the children
name the birds they had seen lately, and by finding their pictures
and placing them on the north wall of the classroom, while the birds
that had gone south were placed on the south wall, Then the (A)
question of why we admire and should protect the birds wasj raised.
The following reasons were brought opt:
1 . Their songs cheer us,
2. Their colors please us, •
8. Their thrift and ability inspire us,
4. Their instinctive faith and adaptation show the power of
Nature’s children to survjvf in the midst of obstacles,

5. They distribute seeds of plants.
6. They teach us family love and care.
7. They feed on the'larvae of harmful-inseç|fe|8ÿ
8. They help the fertilization of flowers.
9. We admire their skill in flying and in nest-building.
(B) The next step consisted of questions for guidance in the
observation of the bird:
1. What is the bird?
2. Where have you seen it? Was it easily seen? Why not, or
■why?
■3. When did you see it?
4. What was it doing?
5. How did it get its food?
6. What food does it eat?
7. Where does it drink?
8. Where doës it stay in winter?
9. How has Nature protected this bird ?
10. From what does it need protection ?
11. What is its song? When does it sing?
(C) What may we do to attract and help the birds?
1. Put out feed. Tray placed high enough so that cats may not
molest. Tie food to tree branches. (Suet, sheaves of grain,
crumbs, or loaf of bread).
2. Put out material for nests.
3. Put out water for baths and for drinking.
4. Be careful not to disturb nests, or scare bird from nest.
5. Build bird houses. ’
(D) Value of birds to crops.
1. The short eared owl’s menu is '75% mice.
2. The rusty blackbird’s menu is 53% of harmful insects.
3. The horned owl destroys gophers and ground squirrels.
4. Woodpeckers feed on tree boerers which are inaccessible to
other birds.
5. ijjphickadees will eat as much as 400 eggs of the apple plant
louse in a day.
(The kinglet, brown creepers and nut-hatches eat this insect
also.)
6. The meadow lark’s diet is 73%vof insects.
7. Half of the robin’s food is made up of animal matter.
8. 'Sparrows eat dandelion seeds. .
(E) Problems for future study.
1 . Organize a bird club.

H IG H SC H O O L SC IEN CE LIBRA RY
The thought of this compilation of science materials for the high
school science library had its origin in the numerous requests that
have been coming in during the past few years for assistance in
getting suitable materials for such library. Since many of these
requests have come very naturally from schools with meager facili­
ties and from districts where newly consolidated schools have arisen
and therefore in communities where the pupils do not have the means
available which are afforded those of the well-organized districts;
that is to say, in districts where there is an attempt to start a library
in general, the plan here presented is expected to be of service to
such school districts in particular, but there is no doubt that all
schools may find something of service to them.
Since these requests have very frequently been made on the basis
of monetary limits, an attempt has been made to arrange the books
in groups according to the means available; the flist* group is the

32

THE

TEACHERS

smallest and least expensive; the second group involves additional
expense; etc. Since the smaller the group the more representative
the types of literature should be, efforts have been made to avoid
duplications as much as is possible in the selection of the smaller
groups. The plan is consequently -arranged from two viewpoints:
the smaller the group the more effort made to avoid duplications and
each group is estimated on somewhat of a definite monetary value.
The cost of the first set or that estimated'under “a” is about
$80; the cost of the second set or that estimated under “a” and “b”
is about $160; the cost of the third set or that estimated under “a”,
“b” and “c” is about $240; the cost of the fourth set or that esti­
mated under “a”, “b”, “c” and “d” is about $300; that of the entire
series, exclusive of the reference books and magazines, is about $380.
It is difficult to get much of a library for less than $80. However,
if the limits ado to be less than that, the first half of the books listed
under “a” will give something to start upon.
It must be remembered that the field of science cannot easily be
divided. There is but one field of human knowledge and any fact
about a part of the field is related to ail the other parts. Subdivi­
sions, therefore, are arbitrary and not at all fundamental but are
used largely for convenience only.
To avoid repetitions, the addresses of the various companies are
given at. the end of the list. These are numbered with the Arabic
figures and the corresponding numerals are prefixed to each book
published by that particular company. There are now a few con­
cerns in the country through which all books published may be pro­
cured. This is a great convenience for the purchaser. A few such
companies are listed at the end of this compilation.
A brief descriptive note of the character of the books is given in
many cases where the titles themselves may not suggest the content
materials. This may assist in making a choice where very limited
possibilities are involved.
Textbooks, unless very suitable and usable for reference, are
not listed. These may be obtained conveniently by teachers gen­
erally.
