THE JUNIOR NORMAL EXPLORERS We find by reading our histories that explorers have many trials and tribulations but generally in the end accomplish some great deed. Now, it so happens that on Sept. 11, 1918, twenty seven young women met at the Fairmont Normal School, where we started on an exploration of the country, known as Teaching. We were all green as to the mountains and other difficulties we would meet, so we were given a guide (Dr. Turner). He mapped out all of the deserts, rivers, and mountains, we would have to pass over, and some that we could explore if we wished. During the first half of the year, we explored the Great Desert How to Study. We found many wonderful articles here that we never dreamed of being in the land of teaching. One of the most famous rivers, that we explored was the great Psychology of Human Nature. We found this river to be very deep and also to contain many fish. Some of these fish we never heard of before, for ex- ample, Instincts. One night while out exploring we decided to call all of our explorers in and have a merry time (Junior Normal party). We had several games, told stories and sang some of the old love songs. We had quite a bit of fun which stimulated us for further exploration. Each day as we traveled along, we gained new knowledge about this wonderful country known as teaching. We were greatly surprised to learn on February the tenth that we had been exploring four and one-half months, also that we had accumulated so much knowledge. We had four and one-half months more before we would return to our homes, for a short time. Our guide told us that in order to learn more knowledge about Teaching we would have to explore the Great Vaticans ' Psychology of Thinking, and the mountain General Methods. We have put in four and one-half months exploring these great places of interest, but find that we need more time to learn more about them. We had quite a jolly time during this part of our exploration even though we did have to explore the fire-spitting volcano, Psychology of Thinking. During the first half of our trip we met a group of explorers who called themselves the Seniors. They wished to show how they appreciated us, so one evening they gave us a very delightful entertainment. A little later we wished to return the appreciation, so we invited them over to our camp. We had quite jolly times together during the rest of the season. We regret very much that they will not be with us next year. We hope that we are thoroughly familiar with the section of Teaching that we have explored. Next fall this same party is going to explore some more of the wonderful country that we have been tell- ing you about. We hope that by June 1920 we will have a very good knowledge of the Great Land of Teaching. C. H.--20. Twenty
