Greeting TO I lie faculty, student body, alumni, and friends, the (Mass of 1914 extend greetings This volume. The Touchstone, heralds the coming-out of the “(Mass of 1914“ the lirst class to graduate from Millersvillc wholly under the new course. Judging from our experiences we can readily accept the statement that “The world was made in the last fifty years.” Rapid strides have been made in all lines. There has been notable progress in the fields of science and art, and special mention may be made of the advancement in education. Continued changes have been w rought in school systems and curricula, and changes are still being made in the hope of attaining the standard of perfection. One of the latest changes made in Pennsylvania was the substitution, in the normal schools, of the four-year course for the old course, which required only three years for completion. This is the result of the attempt of educators to adjust the school curricula to new conditions, and is especially true of the normal school, which in the adoption of tin new course, has dropped some branches and added some others that have been found necessary. The tendency in recent years has been to make the normal course more professional and much of the work formerly included in it is now-done in the high schools. As education has advanced, so we, the Class of 1914. have tried to advance and improve on the classes that have preceded us. As the (Mass has tried to improve, so we. the Board of Kditors, have tried to improve on Tiib Touchstones that have appeared before this one. Whether or not we have succeeded, you, kind reader, may judge, but in judging we ask you to bear in mind the fact that this book is the result of the labors of a little band of co-workers, who have produced it by diligent work done in the spare moments of busy school lives. Much midnight oil has been consumed, and many have been the obstacles and problems that have confronted us. but we shall feel amply repaid by knowing that we have left a fitting monument to the “(Mass of 1914.“ We beg to express our thanks in appreciation of the assistance rendered by Prof. Homer F. Dihvorth and any others who in any way have contributed in making this, the sixteenth volume of The Touchstone, a success. — » —
