The college was assured a portion
of the building funds that have been
granted Pennsylvania by the U. S.
Government, according to the Erie
Daily Times.
Of the $56,700,000 that has been
allocated to this state, $325,000 has
been given to the building fund of
the State’s educational, corrective,
and penal institutions. How much
of the latter sum will be given to Ed

Rockwell Kent
Heard Here
Rockwell Kent, world famed trav
eler, artist, lecturer, and writer, was
the featured speaker on the lecture
entertainment course here on Mon
day evening, February 15.
Kent, who is primarily an artist,
surprised his audience by referring
to art very little in his talk, but dis
regarding this, his hour and a half of
travel talk was highly interesting.
The setting for Mr. Kent’s talk was
laid in Greenland, where he first went
to satisfy a desire to sail across the
ocean in a small boat. Since his first
trip to Greenland, Kent has returned
there several times, always carrying
a motion picture camera as part of
his equipment. After talking for a
short time to give his audience a
background for enjoying his films,
Mr. Kent showed several reels of
movies, all taken on the ice-covered
island of the North.
His talk was interesting and edu
cational, and not a little humorous.
The bathing of Justine probably
caught the fancy of more of his hear
ers than any other single feature of
the talk.
Frances Homer Next
Frances Homer, celebrated Am
erican playwright and actress, will be
the next featured speaker on the Ed.inboro lecture-entertainment course,
appearing here on Tuesday, March 2.
Miss Homer has combined the act
ual acting of plays with writing, and
as a result all of the selections which
she will present here will be from her
own prolific pen.
The lecture scheduled for Friday,
February 26, has been cancelled.
Lorado Taft, famous American sculp
tor, who was to have appeared here
at that time, died late last year.

DEDICATION
We, the students of Edinboro State Teachers College,
dedicate this number of The Spectator to the memory of
Mrs. Carmon Ross.
There are times when words seem utterly useless, when the
clasp of a friendly hand speaks more eloquently than anything we
can say. T1 his afternoon we feel with unusual keenness this in
adequacy of words.
We are all saddened by the bitter loss that
has come to us. This sorrow is deepest, of course, to a few, but
it is deep and real to many of us. All that words can do is par
tially to express any thoughts of comfort that may lift our eyes to
We need a confident
the stars shining through our cypress trees.
sense of the wisdom and sympathy that lie behind even this sad
experience.
We need a reassurance that
Life is ever lord of death,
And love can never lose its own.
Deep in our hearts, to be treasured throughout our remain
ing years, is a beautiful memory. Conceivably we might be reBut
lieved of all our poignant sorrow by the loss of memory,
would we gain oblivion at such a cost?
It is no superficial assurance that
Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.
The life of our beloved friend has given us a memory more
beautiful and more fragrant than the flowers she loved so well.
Beautiful things will always be a little more beautiful to those who
loved her, because she loved them so.
Two or three years ago I overtook an elderly man carrying
a basket of flowers along the highway, and offered him a :ride.
After getting into my car he turned to me and asked why it: was
that in these days when we are warned against picking up strang
ers I should stop for him. Said I: “Whenever 1 see a man who is
interested in flowers I consider him friendly and trustworthy. ”
The friendly soul of Mrs. Ross shone out through her love for all
things beautiful.
The love of flowers is a delightful trait, but far more beauti
ful is love for God's highest creation, our own kind. There is
nothing upon earth more beautiful than the love and devotion of
a wife and mother- In complete and wonderful self-giving, Mrs.
Ross devoted herself to her family. She gave herself unreserved
ly to those whom she loved. Well may these words from the
proverbs be applied to her:
Her children rise up and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praiseth her, saying:
Many daughters have done worthily.
But thou excellest them all.

Funeral Services
Held Saturday
Services for Mrs. Carmon Ross,
who died last Wednesday in the Crile
Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio, after an ill
ness of several months, were held
Saturday, February 20, in a beauti
fully appointed floral setting in the
Ross home. The Rev. R. C. Johnston,
pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church of Edinboro, officiated.
The services, which were private,
were attended by members of the
Board of Trustees and their wives,
members of the faculty and their
wives, the Shadbush and Garden
Clubs, of which Mrs. Ross was a
member, student representatives, Ed
inboro School Board, and the high
school faculty.
Following the services here, the
body of Mrs. Ross was taken to Buf
falo, N. Y., for cremation, and then
to Doylestown, her former home, for
final rites.

courses.
Under the new plan the required
courses for high school are: art, phy
sical education, music, three years of
English, and one year each of gen
eral science and U. S. history. They
may elect courses from the fields of
science, languages, commercial and
technical subjects and mathematics.
Students who fail a course do not
take it over, but are permitted to
select another in order to make the
credit they lost by “flunking”.
Report cards, in addition to the
regular class grades, will carry teach
er evaluation of the pupil’s work in
extra-curriculum activities, as well as
his character traits.
Generally, the teachers are upset
by the new ideas of program, and
parents are known to question its
merits.

The college was assured a portion
of the building funds that have been
granted Pennsylvania by the U. S.
Government, according to the Erie
Daily Times.
Of the $56,700,000 that has been
allocated to this state, $325,000 has
been given to the building fund of
the State’s educational, corrective,
and penal institutions. How much
of the latter sum will be given to Ed

that our school will receive a size

Edinboro are a gymnasium and a

these will be started first is not
known.
Rockwell Kent
Heard Here
Rockwell Kent, world famed trav
eler, artist, lecturer, and writer, was
the featured speaker on the lecture
entertainment course here on Mon
day evening, February 15.
Kent, who is primarily an artist,
surprised his audience by referring
to art very little in his talk, but dis
regarding this, his hour and a half of
travel talk was highly interesting.
The setting for Mr. Kent’s talk was
laid in Greenland, where he first went
to satisfy a desire to sail across the
ocean in a small boat. Since his first
trip to Greenland, Kent has returned
there several times, always carrying
a motion picture camera as part of
his equipment. After talking for a
short time to give his audience a
background for enjoying his films,
Mr. Kent showed several reels of
movies, all taken on the ice-covered
island of the North.
His talk was interesting and edu
cational, and not a little humorous.
The bathing of Justine probably
caught the fancy of more of his hear
ers than any other single feature of
the talk.
Frances Homer Next
Frances Homer, celebrated Am
erican playwright and actress, will be
the next featured speaker on the Ed.inboro lecture-entertainment course,
appearing here on Tuesday, March 2.
Miss Homer has combined the act
ual acting of plays with writing, and
as a result all of the selections which
she will present here will be from her
own prolific pen.
The lecture scheduled for Friday,
February 26, has been cancelled.
Lorado Taft, famous American sculp
tor, who was to have appeared here
at that time, died late last year.

DEDICATION
We, the students of Edinboro State Teachers College,
dedicate this number of The Spectator to the memory of
Mrs. Carmon Ross.
There are times when words seem utterly useless, when the
clasp of a friendly hand speaks more eloquently than anything we
can say. T1 his afternoon we feel with unusual keenness this in
adequacy of words.
We are all saddened by the bitter loss that
has come to us. This sorrow is deepest, of course, to a few, but
it is deep and real to many of us. All that words can do is par
tially to express any thoughts of comfort that may lift our eyes to
We need a confident
the stars shining through our cypress trees.
sense of the wisdom and sympathy that lie behind even this sad
experience.
We need a reassurance that
Life is ever lord of death,
And love can never lose its own.
Deep in our hearts, to be treasured throughout our remain
ing years, is a beautiful memory. Conceivably we might be reBut
lieved of all our poignant sorrow by the loss of memory,
would we gain oblivion at such a cost?
It is no superficial assurance that
Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.
The life of our beloved friend has given us a memory more
beautiful and more fragrant than the flowers she loved so well.
Beautiful things will always be a little more beautiful to those who
loved her, because she loved them so.
Two or three years ago I overtook an elderly man carrying
a basket of flowers along the highway, and offered him a :ride.
After getting into my car he turned to me and asked why it: was
that in these days when we are warned against picking up strang
ers I should stop for him. Said I: “Whenever 1 see a man who is
interested in flowers I consider him friendly and trustworthy. ”
The friendly soul of Mrs. Ross shone out through her love for all
things beautiful.
The love of flowers is a delightful trait, but far more beauti
ful is love for God's highest creation, our own kind. There is
nothing upon earth more beautiful than the love and devotion of
a wife and mother- In complete and wonderful self-giving, Mrs.
Ross devoted herself to her family. She gave herself unreserved
ly to those whom she loved. Well may these words from the
proverbs be applied to her:
Her children rise up and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praiseth her, saying:
Many daughters have done worthily.
But thou excellest them all.

Funeral Services
Held Saturday
Services for Mrs. Carmon Ross,
who died last Wednesday in the Crile
Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio, after an ill
ness of several months, were held
Saturday, February 20, in a beauti
fully appointed floral setting in the
Ross home. The Rev. R. C. Johnston,
pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church of Edinboro, officiated.
The services, which were private,
were attended by members of the
Board of Trustees and their wives,
members of the faculty and their
wives, the Shadbush and Garden
Clubs, of which Mrs. Ross was a
member, student representatives, Ed
inboro School Board, and the high
school faculty.
Following the services here, the
body of Mrs. Ross was taken to Buf
falo, N. Y., for cremation, and then
to Doylestown, her former home, for
final rites.

REVISE CURRICULUM
(Continued from Page Two)
courses.
Under the new plan the required
courses for high school are: art, phy
sical education, music, three years of
English, and one year each of gen
eral science and U. S. history. They
may elect courses from the fields of
science, languages, commercial and
technical subjects and mathematics.
Students who fail a course do not
take it over, but are permitted to
select another in order to make the
credit they lost by “flunking”.
Report cards, in addition to the
regular class grades, will carry teach
er evaluation of the pupil’s work in
extra-curriculum activities, as well as
his character traits.
Generally, the teachers are upset
by the new ideas of program, and
parents are known to question its
merits.
