' 7' PRESIDENT E. L. HARDY STATE NORMAL $CHOOL, SAN DMD, CAL. JUNE. I91 I COMMENCEMENT NUMBER Aims of the Administration BY PRESIDENT E. L. HARDY Frankly, my aim, as president of the school, is first to cultivate such relations with the faculty, together with the alumni as the sons and daughters of Alma Mater, and the body of students as her children, that we shall be all one body, dominated, as teachers and student-teachers, by one ideal of personality. For personality. as I suggested in a recent message to the alumni, is the greatest gift to man, and our school should grow in stature and in grace of personality, as it hopes to grow in size and in usefulness to 'the State. Our conceptions of this ideal of a personality that shall make us all one body should be very clear cut. Just as we may say that our school colors, white and gold, symbolize, the white, truth, and the gold, worth, so that together they mean that our school stands for True Worthtt, so our ideal of the personality of the school should so definitely figure forth truth to type and social worth that we may say that our school stands for true culture and worthy craftsmanship. During the coming summer, a prominent normal school president will discuss, at a great meeting of teachers to be held in our own State, the problem of the relations of academic work and professional work in normal schools. There can be but one relationship,eit is that of soul to body. We can sum it all up in a very liberal paraphrase of one of the sayings of So- crates, by declaring that wherever there is teaching, there will -be teachers, -that wherever there may be, of social and personal worth1 something to communicate, there will be the communicating teacher. Our grand aims will be, then, to assure ourselves of what we have been pleased to term the literacy of intrants ; to give them a year of work in the definite blocking out of ore-bodies in the vast mine of knowledge; and, finally, after they have passed the scrutiny of the faculty as to fitness for teaching, to put them into the training school Where they may learn to smelt and mint this ore into current coin. The time seems too short. Would it not be well if the State were so to legislate that the diploma of the Normal School would entitle a graduate to teach as a cadet or an apprentice for not more than two years, returning thereafter for a hnal year of professional work before acquiring the right to hold a permanent certificate to teach in an elementary school? Let us consider again what Socrates said: Did ever any man believe in horse- manship, and not in horses? or in flute-playing, and not in iiute-playerst , or, tso We can easily imagine him saying ttin teaching and not in teachers . 6 WHITE 'AND GOLD Truly, all of us must admit that while we have had faith in teaching, we have not had that full faith and confidence in teachers that we would have if we knew that their professional attainments were based' upon a novitiate thoroughgoing in fundamentals followed by a period of real apprenticeship in the public system, and concluded by a year of study of the problems and methods of teaching done in the light of a real and responsible teaching experience. Modern society pins its faith on teaching, on the educative process. Society will have an equal faith in teachers, as the conductors of that process, when it is sure that they have something to teach and a truly professional skill in teaching it,-when it is reasonably assured that the teacher is not only a master of arts and letters, but equally a master of life. Since the foundations of life are physical, it should be the aim of any school dedicated to the training of teachers, to give an adequate physical education to all of its students, particularly to the pupils of the training school. In that school, at least, the whole conception should be, as nearly as possible, right, from the beginning. For this reason, adequate facilities, tincluding lockers and shower bathsl for playground work and athletics Will be installed on the campus for the training school, and proper, system- atic, physical education will be given to the children of the elementary school as well as to the students of the normal school. The giving of assist- anCe in the direction of this work will be an invaluable experience to the future teacher. Other new projects to be undertaken by the school are: the installation of a department of elementary agriculture, with especial reference to the work of the rural school; the equipment of a laboratory for work in edu- cation; an increase in the amount of training in rhythmic movement, oral expression and dramatization of history and literature in the elementary school; properly graded instruction in sex hygiene in the upper grades of the training school and full discussion of its problems in the student-teach- ersl conferences ; the olfering of one hundred hours of elective work in the upper division of the senior year, together with other developments in curri- culum and administration that cannot be here set forth for lack of space. You will pardon me, if in conclusion, I reiterate the thought that the day is past when the relation that a Normal School bears to the people can be narrowly formal and institutional. A school for teachers must be a living part of the Whole social body. As such, the more it has of distinctive social personality and the less of the spirit of the bureaucratic functionaire, the more will it be' able to foster for State service the loyalty and enthusiasm that have, in these latter years, been invoked by the ideal of service for one is city. It was this thought that led ex-President Black to declare, at a dinner in San Diego at which the leading men of the city were present to do him honor, All that I am, I owe to California. Our response to this pledge is instant, for all that we, as men and women in public service, are and can be, we will gladly owe to California. WHITE AND GOLD 7 Joumeyings WW BY FORMER PRESIDWI' 8. T. BLACK ' Leaving San Diego on the morning of September seventh, 1910, we travelled by train to Seattleastopping 0135 for a few days in Oakland and San Francisco to say good-bye to friends and relatives. Then up the gorge of the Sacramento, round the base of majestic Shasta, on through the States of Oregon and Washington, clothed in autumnal tints, we journeyed pleas- antly enough. We boarded the good steamship iiMinnesotaii at Seattle and began our westward voyage, sailing westerlyealways westerly-towards the east. In two weeks we reached the other side and were in the Orient- Japan! What a wonderful countryeinhabited by an equally wonderful and intensely interesting peopleI-in many ways the most interesting of all the many peoples we have met. They are bright, courteous, honest and cheerful. The streets of their cities literally swarm with merry, well-be- haved children, who were as much interested in us as we were in them. We spent three most delightful weeks in travelling through the country. One is impressed everywhere with the efficiency of the J apanese They are quite cap able of taking care of themselves and can hold their own with the most advanced western nations. After a week in Yokohama, and another in Tokio, the capital twhere it rained all the timeD, our steps then turned southward to Kyoto, the ancient capital, where we met friends Whom we had known in California thirty, years ago and more. We visited schools, shops, tea houses, parks, private residences, castles, and royal palaces. Only in schoolhouses did we find any furniture. Even the palaces are destitute of furniture. The iioors are covered with rich matting, and the walls are adorned with specimens of Japanese art. The natives use their feet for chairs, and the matted iioors serve both for tables and beds. We could not catch the sitting art, so we just lolled around as best we could-much to the delight and amusement of our hosts. After seeing J apanese women and girls load our steamer With coal at Nagasaki, we turned to the south for three days, and entering the Yang-tsi-Kiang River, we dropped anchor at Shanghai. Foreign Shanghai, that is, that portion made up of concessions to foreign nations, is a beautiful, up-to-date city, with all the advantages of the most modern civilization-churches, schools, clubs, parks, athletic grounds, beautiful homes, splendid equipages drawn by spirited horses and driven by gorgeous coachmen. The honk, honk of the automobile is as familiar here as among western nations. Electric cars are as common as in the United States. The jinrikisha and the wheelbarrow of the native may also be seen ming- ling with the modern means of locomotion. Shanghai is one of the wealthiest of oriental cities, and is generally known as the Paris of the Orient. But there is another Shanghai, inclosed by walls and inhabited by natives. It is char- acterized chiefly by its bad smells, its narrow, dirty streets; its beggars, jugglers, and thieves. 0 yes, we visited it, in charge of a guide, and then took a bath. Hong Kong was our next stopping place. It is an English city, and therefore clean and well governed. It consists of an island mountain--the ' streets zig-zagging across its face up to an elevation of some 2000 feet. Its electric-lighted streets present a charming sight at night from the ships anchored in the bay. A very pleasant day was spent here. We went up to iiThe Peak by ,ricksha and funicular railway, whence we had a gor- geous view of the bay, the China sea, the ocean, and some ttback country. After leaving Hong Kong we ran into a typhoonethe real thing. The least said about our experiences there the better. We don,t often think about it. 8 WHITE AND GOLD It consisted chiefly of waves and circular wind blowing at the rate of 110 miles an hour. This so far was our only bad weather. Leaving it behind, we soon anchored in the equatorial city of Singapore, where we were wel- comed by Miss Harriett Read, a graduate of the NNormal on the Hill . Miss Read 1s doing a grand work here. She has charge of the primary grades at Oldham Hall-a large missionary school. We can never forget the pleas- ure of that day. After visiting the school we took a long irickisha ride through a cocoanut plantation-and later an automobile ride through the city and out to a rubber plantation, where we learned how rubber is ex- tracted from the trunks of the rubber tree. In the evening we waved good- bye to Miss Read and her friends from the deck of the ttYorck as we sailed away, and turned northward towards Penang, where a day was pleas- antly spent among the beauties of a tropical island. Five days more and we landed at Colombo, Ceylon. Our stay here was altogether too short- only one day. But we crowded into that all that was possible. A party of us hired a carriage, and we kept it going through tropical forests and native villages till sun-down. The natives of Ceylon are a most charming people-happy as the happiest of children. In fact they are children, and their little thefts are those of little childrene'that is, not thefts at all. It was here, or perhaps, elsewhere, that natives in canoes crowded 'round the steamer crying ti ten cent, fire away, all the time. And if a ten cent piece was thrown overboard a dozen semi-naked brown-skinned natives leapt from their canoes, and, soon, one of them appeared on the surface with the coin in his teeth, and ,clambered into his canoe ready for another dive.. Leaving Colombo we started westward on an eleven-day voyage through the Indian Ocean and Red Sea to Port Said in Egypt. This was the most delightful part of our sea experience. The weather was not oppressive, but one did not need much clothing either day or night. Many of the passen- gers were English. There were also a Prince de Bourbon and an Austrian Baron. The Prince was a. gentleman. We all know the English to be lovers of all kinds of sport. Under the leadership of the English governor of Borneo, a series of games was organiZed, with prizes for the Winners. Twen- ty one prizes were offered for the various contests, and eleven of these were won by passengers from Southern California. What do you think of that? We arrived at Port Said on Thanksgiving Day, and took the train to Cairo, where we spent nearly four weeks among the pyramids and other antiquities of an ancient civilization. We crossed the desert tin a rain stormi on the hurricane decks of donkeys followed by yelling donkey boys on foot. At the end of the journey, the donkeys were removed from underneath us, and there we stood as stiE as theSphinx itself for some minutes until circulation was restored. Then we moved slowly and sadly on to a place of refresh- ment, where we rested for some time. Those days in Egypt were full of interest. We visited a university which is simply a great hollow square Without a roof. Groups of students from thirteen to sixty years of age tall malesi, led by teachers, were scattered all over the place, sitting on their haunches, memorizing the Koran in a kind of sing-song tone. Seeing that there were over a thousand students, it is easy to imagine the effect the noise and confusion had upon the nerves of Western teachers. We visited the Arab quarters of the city Where the bazaars are located in which thousands of artisans are engaged in all kinds of useful and decorative arts. The streets are all narrow tsome of them narroweri and dirty, with the ever-present Oriental smell that a westerner can never get used to. This smell is found from Japan all along the line to Northern Italy. One can never forget it. New Cairo is a well-laid-out and beautiful city. But Eng- land has a great problem here, as she has all over the Orient. Its solution is in the remote future. F 44. -;-. - 44 WHITE AND GOLD 9 Leaving Cairo by rail we embarked at Port Said for Naples, where we arrived on the afternoon of a cold Christmas day. Fifteen days were spent here-mostly cold and rainy. We had an opportunity to see the beauties of the matchless bay, to attend the Grand Opera, and to walk through the silent streets of Pompeii-this last sight alone being worth almost all it cost to get there. We saw smoking Vesuvius, but did not ascend to the crater, as the last 2000 feet of the ascent was covered with snow. We, however, did enter a crater at Pozznoli, where smoke was issuing from a score of crevices warning us of the uncertainty of the ground over which we were walking. Seven weeks were spent in Imperial Rome-in many respects the city of greatest interest in all the world. We visited the chief objects and places of interest many times, so that the Palatine hill, the Forum, the Coliseum, the Pantheon, St. Peters, the Vatican, St. Paulie without the walls, the cata- combs, the leading art galleries, etc., etc. are quite familiar to us. One of us was present at an audience given by His Holiness, the Pope, and received his blessing. We visited the house in which Keats spent his last days and saw where Herminius held the bridge. The old Roman baths are full of interest to all travelers: They must have been immense affairs, and really social clubs instead of mere bathing places. From Rome we passed on to Florence, the center of Italian art, and saw it all, but fear we did not appreciate it as Miss Lamb or Mrs. Coldwell did while they were there. We stood on the spot where the immortal Savonarola was burned for consciencei sake, and visited his cell--a dingy place-re- markable chiefly for its want of ventilation. Several visits were made to the great Duomo, the UHizi gallery, and Ponte Vecchio, which is lined with goldsmithst workshops-a quaint old bridge over the Arno river. We toured the heights surrounding the city, where magniiicent. views may be obtained. An intensely interesting day was spent at Pisa, where we visited the magnificent cathedral and climbed to the top of the leaning tower. From Florence we proceeded to Venice, the horseless city, with its nar- row streets, its canals, its gondolas, and its bad smells. We visited its beau- tiful cathedral, the Doge,s Palace with its Bridge of Sighs, and its an- cient prisons; we fed the pigeons at San Marco; and we made several trips to adjoining islands, on one of which we did see a few horses and one car- riage. Here, too, we saw the German Emperer pass along the Grand canal in a boat rowed by sturdy German bluejackets. From Venice we passed westward to Milan with its beautiful cathedral glistening in the sunnthat is, when the sun shines. It did not shine while we were there. In fact, it snowed during the night before we left, and one of the pilgrims saw snow falling for the first time. After a five daysi visit we departed for the Italian Lakes. The ground was white the whole distance with snow, which at Como was a foot deep, so instead of stopping there we continued our journey to beautiful Lucerne in Switzerland, the country in Which there are no beg- gars, where all earn an honest living. What a relief ! After leaving J apan we had found them everywhere until we crossed the Alps into this little republic on the roof of Europe. While at Lucerne we ascended to the sum- mit of the Rigi by funicular railway, finding at the top the snow was three or four feet deep on the level-that is, where there is any level. What a grand panorama from the peak! To the east, to the north, to the west and the south, rose the scores of white-capped peaks-many of them piercing the clouds thousands of feet above the surface of Lake Lucerne. We cir- cumnavigated the charming lake, visited all the many points of interest, then passed on to Lausanne on beautiful Lake Leman. HHow the little lake shinesP, Around the lake, stopping at the Castle of Chillon, made famous by Byron's Prisoner of Chillon , where we saw the pillar to which the prisoner was chained for four years. What a pity that such barbarity :0 WHITE AND GOLD could ever have existed on this-one of the most beautiful spots that God ever made! A day was spent at Geneva on the southwestern extremity of the lake. What a beautifullcity! I wonder if San Diego will ever equal it! It has nearly, if not quite, all the possibilities of the Swiss city. Lausanne is a unique city, built along the face of a mountaine its streets meandering back and forth and winding their tortuous way from base to summit, with here and there a funicular railway running straight from the waters of the lake to the summit. The trip from Lausanne to Paris oifers nothing of striking interest. But Paris itself is a city of. striking beauty. Its broad and well-paved ave- nues and boulevards-lined and double-lined and quad-ruple-lined with stately shade trees; its clean streets, its hundreds of open spaces, its hand- some buildings, make it one of the handsomest, if not the handsomest city in the world. With these and its scores of historic places and buildings its interest for many people ends. We visited beautiful and historic Versailles with its fine chateau and surrounding gardens. St. Cloud, too, if possible, still more beautiful, otfered another day,s interest and pleasure. But we were longing to hear the English tongue, and eat an English breakfast; so at the end of two weeks we started for London , arriving here on the evening of May 3rd after a dirty trip of four hours across the channel. And here we are in the heart of this great noisy, bustling city of more than seven millions. Friends met us here, who have made our visit so far very enjoy- able. We have visited the Bank of England, where we saw tons of gold bullion stored in the vaults like so many bricks, and boys printing bank notes in denominations of five to one thousand pounds sterling. We have been to the theatre, seen the King and his family, visited St. Paulls, and spent a. Saturday at Windsor Castle, twenty-one miles west of London, where we were privileged to see all the royal apartments, and to drive through the beautiful grounds of the park and forest. We also visited Eton one of the most noted boys' public schools in England. We saw the bOYSw ranging from twelve to nineteen years in their black clothes, white collars and silk hats. The junior boys wear tiEton,, jackets-a short, rather tight- fitting garment that comes down to the waist, while the larger boys wear long coatSL-but all wear the high hat. They were an interesting looking set of boys, and are fairly representative of the English HPublic School boys. We have got to journey through England and Scotland, and perhaps Holland, Belgium, and the Rhine country. And then across the Atlantic, the United States, to our well-beloved and best-beloved California. London, May 14th, 1911. THE TWO PILGRIMS. SAMUEL T. BLACK.

TALKS AND EDUCATIONAL TRIPS MADE BY THE FACULTY Mr. Skillng and Mr. Crandall made an extensive examination of the work 1n agriculture in the Los Angeles County high schools during the fall term This work was done in order that new ideas might be incorporated into the extensive improvements that are anticipated in our own develop- ment of a course in agriculture. On Monday, Dec., 19, President Hardy spoke to the City and County Institute of San Diego upon tiThe Progressive Movement in Education? On Tuesday, Dec. 20, Mr. Crandall spoke to the Orange County Insti- tute, held at Santa Ana, upon uLife in the Open Sea . In December, Mr. Bliss, Secretary of the Faculty, spoke before the mem- bers of the Chamber of Commerce and our representatives in the Legislature concerning the material value of the Normal School to San Diego. He presented facts and figures that elicited much interest, and aroused enthusiasm which has resulted in more active co-operation in the needs of the school. Several of the teachers attended the Southern California Teachersi Association held in Los Angeles, Dec. 22-24. Those present were President Hardy, Mrs. Coldwell, Miss Davis, Mr. Skilling, Mr. West and Mr. Crandall. President Hardy and Mrs. Coldwell attended an institute held at Es- condido, March 10. Mrs. Coldwell spoke on Domestic Artsii and President Hardy upon The Equipment of the Rural Schools . On April 14, President Hardy, Mrs. Coldwell, Mr. West, Mr. Shilling, Mr. Young and Mr. Crandall spoke to a Teachersi and Parentsi Meeting at El Cajon. The speakers had a most enjoyable time and the townspeople greatly appreciated the visit. President Hardy has made several trips to Sacramento in the interests of the school and of normal school legislation. Mr Hardy and Trustee Senator Ward attended the Joint Board of Normal School Trustees meeting in Chico. Much business of a vital nature to the normal schools of the state was transacted. On the return trip President Hardy and Dr. Millspaugh of the Los Angeles State Normal were treated to a unique entertainment at the San Jose Normal. Dr. Dailey had prompted the student body and the visitors were greeted with ttimpromptu songs, of Which the following is a specimen: ttHams any one here seen Hardy? H-a-r-d-Iy Has any one here seen Hardy? Can,t you see him smile? For he is jolly through and through And surely he must be true blue, Has any one here seen Hardy- H-a-red-y ? , i l WHITE AND GOLD 13 Both President Hardy and Dr. Millspaugh spoke to the San Jose stu- dent body and expressed their appreciation of the good school spirit shown. Mrs. Coldwell addressed the Federation of Womenls Clubs at Long Beach on Saturday, May 13, on Domestic Science. Mr. West spoke, on May 11, to the Chamber of Commerce, County Board of Supervisors and Merchants Association concerning the Normal School, and secured their assistance in making this number a success. The graduating class of the Ramona High School was addressed on Commencement night, May 22, by Mr. Crandall, Who spoke upon The Agricultural Movement in our Public Schools . F ACULTY BULLETINS Among the educational publications announced for the summer trade by the American Book 00., is a book on liHistory in the Elementary Schools by W. F. Bliss, Head of the Department of History in the Normal School. This work will be of special importance to all the alumni of the school as well as to all teachers of history in the elementary schools of the State, since it contains the well-known course in history from the first to the eighth grades which Mr. Bliss has been conducting for many years in our train- ing school, including a complete outline of American History based on McMasteris uBrief Historyii, the present California state text book, for the use of pupils of the seventh and eighth grades. In addition the book contains thorough discussions of methods in the various grades, extended bibliographies, giving authors, publishers, and prices of all books mentioned, and several original plays and stories that have been worked out in our training school. The work is intended to be a complete manual in history teaching for the use of teachers. It is expected that the pupilsl outline of American History will be published in cheap pamphlet form so that it can be placed in the hands of all pupils of the seventh and eighth grades at a nominal cost. The book Will be published about July first. One of the features of the Training School during the past year has been the correlation of the work of the departments of history and manual training in the primary grades under the supervision of Mr. Bliss and Miss Lamb, heads of their respective departments, With Miss Gertrude Laws in immediate charge of the work. A bulletin is in course of preparation by these departments, Which will be profusely illustrated, giving full directions for carrying on this very important work. The bulletin Will be issued be- fore next year. A teachersi manual in geography is being prepared by Mr. Skilling and Miss Greer. Its purpose is to enable teachers, With the aid of a small geo- graphical library, to put into practice the methods employed in our training school, which emphasize extensive reading in the subject. It is hoped to have the manual ready for use early next year. During the first semester of the year beginning Sept, 1911, the Normal School expects to issue a bulletin Which will give a bibliography of all books recommended for teachersi reading by the several departments. 14 WHITE AND GOLD Alumni Qt ALUMNI ASSOCIATION During the County Institute last winter President Hardy issued a gen- eral invitation to all Alumni to attend an informal reception at the Normal School. Some fifty or sixty of us were present and spent a delightful hour with members of the Faculty and in renewing old acquaintances. At the suggestion of President Hardy a temporary organization was formed and temporary officers were elected. The writer was made temporary President, Mrs. Della Chase was elected Vice-President, and Miss Ruth Guild was elected Secretary-Treasurer. These officers were in- structed to prepare a constitution and by-laws for the government of the Society. This Committee wishes to submit its suggestions at this time and earnestly hopes that the results will meet the approval of the members of the Association. In passing, it may be well to add a word that may be of interest to all those who have at any time been in attendance at the San Diego State Normal School. A few years ago we used to meet during the Institute week and have dinner together informally. These meetings served to do more than to bring us together. We met as a family of brothers and sisters; we exchanged experiences; we planned on future good things, we put aside our little worries for the time ; we became as students again and enjoyed to the full the hour we spent together. There we met, as friends, the members of the Faculty; we took the opportunity to tell them how much we appre- ciated their advice, so freely given, so often neglected; we received again their encouragement and helpful advice. We went out from these meetings with full hearts and vowed that another year would see the same thing repeated. This custom has fallen by the wayside now. The little tree we planted then has withered, and is all but dead. Shall we let it die altogether? Our school still stands. Its halls, now longer grown, are as inviting as ever they were in times past. The faces of the faculty light up as ever when some of Hthe old students call. The welcoming smile, the hearty hand- shake, the air that makes you feel at home still emanate from every door and window and room. A few things have changed, perhaps-the genial face of our valued friend, Mr. Black, is no more seen there ; but his place is filled by another Who is just as genial, and Whose hand-shake carries With it just as much of welcome, and just as much of invitation. Shall we not, then, show something of our own feeling towards the school that has done so much for us by meeting within its halls at least once during each year, thus showing that our loyalty still stands? There is another thing that should appeal to us also. The change in leadership brought about by the advent of President Hardy has of necessity changed, at least in some measure, the policies of the school. The infusion of new blood is always a good thing in any organization; the new ideas are an incentive to closer investigation, keener insight, and higher ambitions. What is true of individuals in this respect is also true of institutions. The attitude of President Hardy, and the Faculty under his leadership, is to- ward a broader usefulness of the school to its graduates. To this end every avenue has been explored to find ways and means to interest the students and others in the workings of the school. The needs of the immediate com- munity, the needs of the State and not less the needs of the nation all enter in the solution of the problems that are before this corps of most earnest workers. May not we lend a hand? Our counsel has been sought,-shall WHITE AND GOLD 15 we give it grudgingly? Innovations are about to be announced. Some have already been introduced. In furthering these we can be of inestimable value. We can encourage the Faculty by our words of commendation, we can help by giving a word of advice as to conditions here and there, we can spread the news of the good things coming among our neighbors and associates and by so doing reap a two-fold benefit ourselves. The building up .of our school during the next few years means more to us than to any one else. Its name will be a name to conjure with in a few years. We are proud to say that we are its graduates now. We will be more so in future years. Shall we not then be BOOSTERS for OUR school? We shall reap benefits from its advancement,-1et us repay in kind.

The school may not hope for its best development, no graduate may hope for her greatest success, unless there be some bond between the two. This Annual is printed in order that Alumni and Normal School may be brought into closer union and that mutual assistance may be increased. m Knowing that many of the Alumni are graduates of the city or county schools or of the various local private schools, or that, since graduation, they have been employed by these schools, we have made the Annual broad in its scope. The various contributed articles give an idea of the advances made during late years in the educational facilities of this locality. m We are glad to note that the new administration believes in progress. This is evidenced by the helpful aids for the Alumni. The most important of these are the Appointment Bureau and the editing of several helpful bulletins. W A student body which knows itself rightly is a joy. We understand a that next year the various parts of. the school government and activities will be controlled entirely by the students. We know they will do their duty and do it well. It Will be a pleasure to turn over the Annual to them as a means of providing an outlet for exuberant spirits. M We wish to thank the Chamber of Commerce, Merchants Association, and the County Board of Supervisors for their spirit of co-operation. The school and community have much in common, and mutual aid will redound to the credit of all. M The Normal School, being desirous of obtaining the present addresses, news notes, etc., concerning Alumni, sent out a circular early. in the spring, but many graduates have not returned the data requested. For your own good, Alumni, and for our help in completing the files, Do It Now. 20 WHITE AND GOLD The StateNormal School as a City and County Asset Much has been rightly said about the value of the City and County to the State Normal School, but few probably have thought of the variety of ways in Which the Normal is constantly aiding this locality. In the com- munity life of the city the Normal School is every year becoming a more important factor. Considering it as a. business asset, some very interesting facts are discovered. The expenditures during the last two years are as follows: Appropriations for Sixty-fltst and Sixty-second Fiscal Years Salary Fund ............................................................................................ $33,750.00 $33,750.00 Support Fund ................................................................................. 3,500.00 3,500.00 Library Museum and Scientific Apparatus Fund ......... 1,000.00 1,000.00 Care and Improvement of Grounds Fund ........................ 1,500.00 1,500.00 $39,750.00 $39,750.00 March, 1909-Specia1 Fund for Additional Equipment ........................ $5,000.00 July, 1910-Contingent Fund, balance on hand ........................ 16.10 September, 1910-Proposed Deficiency Appropriation ........................ 3,000.00 Total of special funds ............................................................... $8,016.10 TOTAL AMOUNT FOR THE TWO YEARS ...... $ 79,500.00 TOTAL AMOUNT SPECIAL FUNDS ........................ 8,016.10 TRAINING SCHOOL ..................................................................... 50,000.00 GRAND TOTAL ..................................................................... , .......... $ 137,516.10 There are seventy 001 students Who either board or maintain light housekeeping rooms. These Will expend on the average about $5.00 per week. For the school year of forty weeks, this will mean an additional $14,000.00 coming into San Diego through the channels of business. Graduate students of our universities, who are to become high school teachers, now spend six months of their post-graduate work in our school. This means at least $300.00 per student saved to the community, and also gives additional prominence to our school. We now have from eight to ten of these students every year. Of the twenty-fwe people on the regular payroll, we find that eight own homes, While twelve own property in San Diego. The training school building furnishes accommodations for three hundred and twenty city children, and the academic department of the Normal School for one hundred high school students at a very slight expense to the city. Thus we assist materially in relieving the crowded condition of the city schools. Moreover, about 20 per cent. of the students in the profes- sional work have been accompanied here by relatives, many of whom have bought property and have become permanent residents because of the school. The school has become the center of one of the best resident districts in the city, and the values in its locality are due largely to its presence. In addition to the regular contributions of the school, we must add the work of the summer session. At least 150 students, together With many of their relatives, come to San Diego for the summer. For six weeks, the various resorts and the city receive a large amount of advertising, together with an additional income of some $4,500.00, during the slack season. WHITE AND GOLD 2r No advertising matter of a general nature leaves San Diego that does not contain a picture of the State Normal School building, and no tourist is shown the sights about the city without especial attention being called to this building. But not only is the school a great financial and advertising asset, but it also stands out prominently as a social factor. Teachers, graduates and students are actively associated with the life of the community. All the clubs, churches, philanthropic societies and civic organizations, etc., have one or more members who have been or are connected with the Normal School. The City and County schools are supplied largely by our graduates. As an educational center, the Normal School is growing in iniiuence in the community. Members of the faculty cordially respond to frequent calls for addresses of an educational character at home and abroad. Bulletins ai'e issued that are of real value to large numbers of teachers. Noted lec- turers are brought from the outside. Student performances, such as the May Day pageant, add much to the pleasure and enjoyment of the community. Thus, briefly, we hope that we have shown that the Normal is an insti- tution that stands for the growth, development and betterment of the com- munity, and should, therefore, be accorded a warm spot in the hearts of the residents, since it merits their earnest support and constant co-operation. New State Laws AEecting Schools Several radical changes in the school laws of California have been - made possible by the signature of Governor J ohnson. Some of those affect- ing the teachers are: Assembly Bill 1086-Trustees are empowered to elect teachers for the next ensuing year on and after June 1st. In case the trustees fail to elect a new teacher tor fail to notify an old teacheri between June 1st and June 10th, the old teacheris contract automatically goes into effect for the next year. tThis law does not go into effect until July 1st of this yearJ Assembly Bill 108-County superintendents of schools may call a trusteest institute. The expense of this institute is to be borne by the un- appropriated county school fund. Senate Bill 290-300-C0unty superintendents may call local institutes in various parts of the county and abandon the annual teachersi institute. Assembly Bills 307-368-The school census is abolished and the school funds are to be distributed on the basis of the number of teachers employed and the average daily attendance. Assembly Bill 24wThe age of compulsory school attendance is raised from 14 to 15 years. Senate Bill 655-Vaccination of school children is made optional with the parents. However, during epidemics, children not vaccinated cannot attend school. Assembly Bill 1080-Sch001 shall continue in session on all holidays except New Yearis, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving and Christ- mas. However, the board of trustees are empowered to declare special holidays. Assembly Bill 1034eSchool districts must pay six UWH per cent on school warrants from date of collection until actually paid. Bills which were of great interest, but failed to receive the signature. of Governor Johnson, were the teacherst pension bill and industrial educa- tion bill for the public schools. 23 WHITE AND GOLD Public Schools San Diego High SchOol BY ARTHUR GOULD. PRNCIPAL One has only to look back to the general condition of the schools of the City of San Diego in 1905 to realize that in the years that have elapsed since that time the system has been practically made over. The great expansion has been shown in the increase in the teaching corps, the additional enrollment of students, the expansion of the course of study and the new buildings with their modern equipment. Nowhere is the cityis remarkable growth more clearly reflected than in the High School. The annual report of 1905-6 shows an enrollment for the year of 468 pupils with a teaching force of 17 and a graduating class of 47. The report for this year will show an enrollment of 1056 with 36 teach- ers and 92 graduates. These figures mean an increase of 125 per cent. in the number of students, 112 per cent. in the teaching force and 96 per cent. in the graduates. More significant than these statistics are the new building in Which the school is housed, the ample equipment of it, the new courses oEered and the plans already under way for polytechnic buildings. In 1906 the school was existing in an out-of-date structure, built in 1882 to accommodate half of the number of pupils enrolled in the former year. Two bond issues aggregating $225,000 made possible the present magnificent structure, costing $180,000 and in its equipment costing about $45,000. New courses in drawing, leather and metal work, science and other lines have been made feasible with these added accommodations. An additional bond issue of $200,000 was voted in December, 1910. This money will be used at once to make the San Diego High School a really cosmopolitan institution. To supplement the academic courses, which are now so carefully worked out, training in all polytechnic lines will be offered with accommodations for 2,000 pupils. Domestic science, wood-working and metal-working will be correlated with the study of English and mathe- matics. It is hoped that a few more years will see work of the first two college years a part of our school curriculum. The high school will thus be in reality the peoplets college. The Elementary Schools of San Diego BY WILL ANGIER. PRINCIPAL LINCOLN SCHOOL Says, Mr. Dooley: To my mind, Hinnissy, we,re wastin, too much time in tachini our young, ani thryini to larn thim in school what they oughtn,t to know whin theylve growed up. Since the honored American educator wrote this celebrated argument some five or six years ago for training our youths for the iistrangle hold, and for a finer control of the Tspit ball and other things which he considered that they needed more in life than a knowledge of Greek tor Englishi grammar, San Diego has been making great strides in modern education. During these six years a systematic endeavor has been made to inaugurate training along several lines of manual and household arts, and this effort has produced results which are quite abreast with those of the progressive cities of the West and which are helping to build up a school system for our fair city to which our people can point With just pride. Well equipped rooms for the very latest training in woodwork and in domestic science and household arts have been placed in each of the five WHITE AND GOLD 23 Todafs Opportunity i in San Diego County wisz Every Newcomer Should Read Every Word of This San Diego has to import carload after carload of farm products. including poultry. eggs, vegetables, fruits. berries. meats, dairy products, etc.. from a distance. The consumers have to pay the freight. This all adds to the high cost of living. Such conditions exist because there are not a sufficient number engaged in farming in the immediate back country to supply the local market. A number of professional and business men and bankers realized the urgent need of encouragingintensihed farming, right at San Diego's back door. and the famous Chase Rancho comprising hundreds of acres of rich. level land right in the heart of El Cajon Valley-one of the most fertile valleysin Southern Cali- fornia-was purchased. This immense tract was bought for the sole purpose of supplying this present day need by subdividing it into 5- and IO-acre tracts. On account of the large. whole purchase. it can he sold at reasonably low prices and on easy terms. puttingit with- in the reach of men of small means. This location was selected on account of its proximity to San Diego. being right on El Cajon Boulevard, its accessibility to railroad trans- portation, the fertility of soil and the abundance of water, all of which are most important factors in successful farming. Call atour Office, ground floor, Timken Building, Cor. 6th and E Streets, and we will accompany you on one of our tours of El Cajon Valley and give you facts concerning this opportunity. which cannot fail to interest you. At the present low prices you can take the land, cultivate it in such a way as to derive a good yearly income, and at the same time enhance its value to $600 or $l,000 an acre, the present price of im- proved land in the Valley. This proposition will certainly appeal to your good judgment and foresight. GOING 8K MOLLISON SALES MANAGERS SAN DIEGO SUBURBAN HOMES CO.

In the lower grades cardboard work and raiiia weaving are given to all, and as each school has its garden, there 13. some development along agricultural and horticultural lines. In addition to the well-established rooms for instruction in these departments an experiment is being tried in some of the fifth grades. With a device for intro- ducing woodwork into the class rooms It consists in part of a board cover for the pupil s desk which contains a small clutch or vise and a set of tools for the work. Its operation is bemg watched With interest. In all the above lines special supervisors Who are we'll equipped for the work are provided, as well as in the departments of music, drawing and physical culture. In two of the schools there have been established ungraded rooms, where some of the very best work in the system has been done. Here skillful coach- ing has made it possible to promote considerably more than fifty more pupils per term, besides aiding a dozen more to advance a grade during the same term. Probably the greatest good arising from these rooms has been the in- spiration to the ambition of the pupils of the school as a whole in the desire to be thought worthy of special help. In Mr. Marston,s letter to the press of' the present month in relation to the establishment of municipal buildings, the statement is made that the values of realty have doubled during the past five or six years. The school statistics show thatthe enrollment in our schools has more than doubled in that time. As a consequence the Board of Education has had to be very much alive to the situation in order to keep the buildings and the equipment in line with this very rapid growth. During these years several small schools and two tine modern structures have been erected. These latter buildings, the Lincoln and Florence, compare very favorably with any grammar schools in the West. Another feature in which the schools have made great growth has been in the lines of playground development. The tiuncovered schoolroomi, with a good spirit of zeal and fairplay is recognized by every principal as very valuable. It is not alone the school ground where pupils and teachers are uwaiting for school to be called, that is valuable but also the one where something is doing, and where lessons are learned which are quite as useful in forming character, and in the preparation for good citizen- ship as those learned behind any of the doors. For six years the prin- cipals of the ward schools have conducted the athletic sports in an organized and systematic manner, and by keeping the contests as general rather than as specihcally between any two schools, have prevented the bitterness Which sometimes arises, and have secured a very good spirit of cheer for the Winner. In most of the large schools good play- ground apparatus is found in the yards. The departmental plan of teachers devoted to special topics has been in vogue in the grammar schools long enough now to have passed the experi- mental point, and is considered an undoubted success by the people of the schools. There is a growing sentiment looking toward a division of the course of study in such a way as to make it possible to have some election of subjects as low as. the seventh grade, and thus provide a much fuller course for those who choose along the line of manual training and household arts. With this splendid equipment of up-to-date buildings and with a corps of teachers of whom the Superintendent has said in one of his reports, that they are unusually strong, loyal, and conscientious, and faithful, splendidly trained men and women earnestly working for the welfare of our boys and girls, San Diego may expect a future citizen with a iine appreciation of tilife more abundant.

BALDWIN During the past five years remarkable advances have been made by the schools of the County of San Diego. Discussing this subject from the standpoint of the suburban schools, the remarkable change of front in education during this period is as apparent in the interior to the close observer, as in the finely graded schools of the city. To those unable to visit the interior, one of the best demonstrations of progress can be ob- served by the teachersi institute programs. It Will be observed that the major part of the time and the emphatic portion of the program are given to the physical welfare of the children, manual training, domestic science, and to the ethical and social side of the childis life, all of which indicates the developing of the school system and the expanding of its mission, so that it reaches to the home on the one side, and to the activities of life beyond on the other hand. The teacher is also observed to be in possession of a higher class of training, culture, and adaptability for the serv1ce. It is observed that there is more sacrifice of time in the administration of school boards than ever before, and the selection of teachers is far more cautiously done than heretofore. In the examination of the schools of the interior one Will observe the wonderful strides made in the science of health on the part of the children, sanitary instruction being far beyond the thought of the possible mission of the schools a few years ago. No more do we see the common drinking cup in any of the schools of this county, and in many places individual towels are provided, either by the school boards or by the parents. The outbuildings and toilet systems in many of the interior schools are of the most improved sanitary construction, and many of the schools of to-day have water under gravitation. Windmills are being erected in a great many of the school districts, not only for the purpose of having water under pressure for drinking purposes, but also for agriculture uses, as all of the schools in the County of San Diego now have their school gardens. Within another year Windmills, Where gravity water cannot be otherwise supplied, Will be erected, and water under pressure Will be conveyed not only to the schoolhouses, but to all parts of the school grounds. Another pleasing marked feature is that the increase in salaries in the last five years is over twenty per cent. The school system of this county, by the united action of the school boards and the office of the superintendent of schools, has an absolutely free textbook system. This is one of the most popular features of the schools and meets With the hearty support of all the people. In conclusion, the marked features of advance made by the schools in the County of San Diego are: the care given the health and physical welfare of the children; the establishment of the out-door school; the touch of domestic science; the greater capacity of the teacher; the higher apprecia- tion of service by better compensation; free text-books, and an appreci- ation by the graduates of the grammar grade schools of the high school opportunities, Which has been brought about through the teachers efforts in charging our students with the great mission of the high school. THE WILD FLOWER EXHIBIT On the first of April of this year there was inaugurated what will, in all probability, become an annual exhibit of our wild flowers. The exhibition served several useful purposes, among them being the stimulation of interest among the pupils in the study of Wild fiowers, Which forms an important WHITE AND GOLD 27 HHI Hill NEEDS THIS PIANO That plrlor thll has been empty or in which has set a silent piano seldom. if ever played, needs the FAIRBANKS PLAYER PIANO, which any one can play and need never be silent We take your old piano as part payment.

Then, too, an op- portunity was afforded the people who, as a rule, know next to nothing of the names of California liowers, to make the acquaintance of some of them. For several weeks before the exhibition, the children throughout the city were busy pressing and studying flowers. More than a thousand pressed specimens adorned the walls of the library. These represented about one . hundred varieties. A number of flowers had been potted by the children in cans and boxes, and added much to the show. The most attractive feature, however, consisted of the vast profusion of cut flowers, artistically arranged by committees of teachers and pupils. Our own school sent down an express wagon-load of fresh flowers picked the day before by the children. Quantities came from the schools at La J 0113., Ocean Beach and other outlying schools. The Dulzura Stage brought many rare ferns and moss. These were sent in by Mrs. Dana, one of our former students. Six or seven automobiles equipped each with a driver, a chaperon tone of our girlsl and a crew of youthful flower pickers, searched the back country from Del Mar to Chula Vista, and brought in loads of luxuriant blossoms. All of these Howers, both the fresh and the cut specimens, were labeled withtheir common names, the pressed specimens having also their scientiiic names. Committees of children with reception badges gave valuable assist- ance in showing pe0ple about among the flowers, and by answering questions. Looking forward to a similar exhibit next year, We have already secured permission to use the Palm Court of the Grant Hotel. Pedagogical Proverbs I. Levity is the soul of learning. II.

These fulcra are, a serviceable culture, an applicable theory, and a ttpraeticaltt practice, and they function, severally, through the academic, the pedagogical and the practice-teaching work of the school. On the academic side, the subject, strange to say, that most needs de- velopment in the student is English. Of all human creatures, the teacher, most needs facility in expression,-to be able, Without too much prompting, to take a speaking part. On this obvious count, the school must stand in- dicted, unless it bends its energies, first of all, to develop in the students a genuine 1iteracy,-a literacy, Which, curiously enough, is not always found in the student entering our classic portal. But it is our own fault if we admit the illiterate one. Basing its eEort upon literacy, the first duty of the school, through the departments of history, the languages, music, the sciences, physical culture and the manual arts, is to give the aspirant to the profession a something to teach shot through with the burning conviction of salvation by a truly humane culture. To enable the teacher to meet modern human vocational needs, development is planned, particularly in agriculture and household arts. To further develop the ehiciency of the department of education, which has always been conducted upon the idea of a socialized educational prin- ciple, it is proposed to add an education laboratory through which some ad- vanced work may be done, particularly by candidates for the high school certificate. The problem in the training school is that of maintaining such condi- tions that the practicing teacher may work, particularly during the latter part of her training, in a class room not essentially diiferent, in the prob- lems it presents, from the average public school class room. The school must be so conducted that its boys and girls live in the atmos- phere of a schoolenot of a studio or a elinicr-and the student- teacher must, from the beginning, anticipate the hour when, in her prac- tice-teaching, she is to be cast largely upon her own initiative and resources. To this end it is highly desirable that the teachings be so administered that each student may have some experience in teaching grades as well as sub- jects, and that a closer aih'liation of the work of the training school with the schools of the city, by means of a system of cadet apprenticeship, be developed. As so many of our graduates take schools in the country, it is important that we begin now to plan the presentation of our need of a. model rural school to the legislature in its next session. Household Arts The Household Arts Department was housed in very inadequate quar- ters during the first three years of its existence; therefore it was With con- siderable pleasure that we approached the summer of 1910, when the east wing of the main building became available for our purposes. We have utilized the assembly room, formerly used by the training school, for the kitchen. This room is equipped with the usual furnishings- WHITE AND GOLD 3! .

Since moving into the new kitchen laboratory the equipment has been enlarged. Table linen, table china, and a iirst-class tireless cooker, among other things, have been added. The small room formerly used as a training-Iehool library is now the storeroom. The office next to it is un- changed, and is used as a fitting room in connection with the course in sew- ing, as well as for the Household Arts Department office. The former second grade room and the adjoining hell were remodeled into one room, making a. good-sized, sunny classroom, used by all the sec- 1 tions of the department and by the girls from the grammar grades of the training-school. The former first grade room and the adjoining office have been thrown together, making a room of admirable shape for sewing, the Windows, being on the north side, producing an excellent light. The sewing machines are in good light and have ample space. The walls here are to be tinted and the floor covered with linoleum. y On the opposite side of the hall running north and south, which gives entrance to the Household Arts Department, is a large room which was formerly two rooms, used by the third and fourth grades. This room is to be used as a student 3 rest room. The floors are to be covered, the walls tinted and the windows curtained. Comfortable chairs and other furniture will be procured. The passage between the sewing room and kitchen laboratory is to be made into a kitchen to be used exclusively by the students in connection with the rest room. It will contain a sink, gas stove, dishes antii such other furniture as will add to the comfort and enjoyment of the stu ents. Training School Notes The new concrete Training School Building is a source of satisfaction to the teachers and pupils. The building is equipped with class rooms tor the eight grades in A and B sections, library and assembly rooms, and commodious basements. The heating arrangements have been unsatisfac- tory, but this defect will be remedied next year by the establishment of a new heating plant which will heat both the Normal and Training School buildings. Miss McLeod, who has rendered very e$cient service as Principal of the Training School for eleven years, plans to take a well-earned leave of absence next year. The principalship will be taken by Mr. C. L. Phelps, Di- rector of the Training School at the Tempe Normal School, Tempe, Arizona. Alumni of the Normal School will doubtless be interested in knowing that three of their number are now teaching in the Training School. Miss Gertrude Laws, class 1908, acts as librarian and critic teacher in drawing and geography and nature study. Miss Edith C. Hammack, class 1906, and Miss Alice Greer, class 1909, are critic teachers in the primary de- partment. In pursuance of a plan to secure more tine for. elective work, only five teacphings Will be required next year. Greeter opportunity for special- ization in the primary or grammar grades will be given, and, in general, the fiexibility of the professional course will be greatly increased.

The boys of the Training School entered a team this year for the gram- mar school track meet, which was held in Athletic Park, Saturday, May 13. Students in the Normal School attended the meet in large numbers, and gave the team their heartiest moral and vocal support. Considering the fact that the number of boys in the Training School who are available for athletics, is so small, the team did well, since, as President Hardy aptly stated, Hthey did not come out last . They brought home 9V2 hard-earned points, and the training was a valuable experience for them. Moreover, the school spirit and the feeling of unity which were developed by the meet in both Normal and Training Schools will remain a permanent possession. The apperceptive process continues to go! on in the minds of pupils in the Training School in the same unruly fashion as of old. One pupil, after giving a description of a town as having no saloons and five churches, said, ttI think this speaks very well for the mortality of the place. An- other pupil, after making a study of the picture HThe Gladiators Con- demned , wrote a moving interpretation of the same under the caption HRadiators in Rome . That the pupils have no monopoly of faulty apper- ception is shown by the following: In writing a composition on the sub- ject A View from the Wharf , one pupil used the expression tithe terterous ocean. The correction of the student teacher was as follows: Nothing in this description gives the idea of a traitorous ocean. Special Certihcates At a meeting of the San Diego County Board of Education on May 6, 1911, the question of high school certification for graduate students of the San Diego State Normal School in the subjects of domestic arts, music, drawing and manual training was presented by Miss Lamb. The Board adopted a resolution that recommendation by a head of de- partment, together with that of the President of the Normal School, would be accepted, and high school certification granted.

Gaston-Borch Normal School Students In the afternoon was given the May-day Pageant. As the prologue, written by Mr. Bliss of the Faculty, and spoken by the herald, was com- pleted, the procession of the various participants of the afternoon was seen coming from the west wing of the building. In royal array came Queen Elizabeth and Sir Francis Drake attended by their ladies and esquires. Then came the various costumed dancers, each preceded by a group of standard bearers, and finally the main body of students in their white dresses each with a pennant showing the colors of the school. After the procession had formed in front of the grass plot, the cere- mony of knighting Sir Francis and crowning the May Queen took place. Mr. Philip Morse, of the Board of Trustees, then read a poem on The Awakening , which he had composed for the occasion and which Will be found elsewhere in this journal. The students not taking part in the dances then marched up and sat on the steps, forming a solid bank of white and gold. The special dances, given by specially drilled students, were four in number,-a Spanish dance, by four of the young women of the school costumed as senoritas; an Indian dance by twenty boys of the Training School; a Dutch dance of boys and girls in the quaint garb of Holland; a jolly sailorsi hornpipe by fourteen of the girls of the academic department; and, to conclude the dancing, the pretty winding of the May-pole by twenty of the young women of the normal department. In all of these dances, careful training was evident, and the costumes were correct and becoming. At the completion of the dancing all of the participants were massed on the steps and the school song was sung. The success of the afternoon per- formance was due to the untiring eiforts of Miss Worthen in training the students in the dances so that no delays occurred. About two thousand people enjoyed the pageant. The only complaint to be heard was that the seating accommodations were poor. However, it is to be hoped that another year will find the school better equipped to handle such a large body of spectators.

A variety of circumstances lent unusual interest to the Senior Address at this anniversary. The Address, as is well known, has become one of the traditions of the school. The first one was given in 1902 by Miss Flora fW'aters. Since then Senior Speakers on Dedication Day have been as ollows: 1903 Miss Flora McFadden 1904 Miss Nettie Lee 1905 Miss Ethel Loveland 1906 Miss Olive Somers 1907 Miss Imogene Stone 1908 Miss Elizabeth Rhoades 1909 Edgar Beidleman 1910 Miss Gertrude Irey This year the honor fell to Miss Ruth Price, who has been in attendance at the normal school since 1900, when she entered the third grade of the Training School. We regret that lack of space prevents the printing of the complete text of her unique and admirable address. THE SPIRIT OF PEACE. uPeace is not quitting The busy career; Peace is the fitting Of self to ones sphere. These lines of Goethe quoted at the opening of the address, furnish the keynote of the theme. In a beautiful introduction, breathing the very spirit and poetry of the May-day season, the speaker delivered an ode in prose to the peace and harmony and joy displayed by pulsing nature on every hand, concluding with this exultant strain: ttThe harmony of joy, was there, and the deep joy of harmony also; ih the quiet undertones of nature as well as in the exultant strain of bursting song, in the rushing torrent, or the tendless chromatics1 of the mountain brook, or the rhythmic beating of the purifying rain as it fell from the Wind-blown clouds.

SAN DIEGO W CALIFORNIA m 4.4 WH ITE AND GOLD the tossing billow, or the mighty solemnity 0f jagged, towering peak, man Will ever turn to find his peace with the Creator. ttNor has this long harmonious note in nature failed to evoke, at least, an echo in the heart of man. To-day is indeed the peace time of the world; its great pulse throbs not to beat of martial drum or tramp of measured marching, so much as with prosperity in commerce, industry, and wealth. After citing many examples of the spread of the spirit of peace and of the activity of men and women :in its propaganda, the essayist took a glance at the savagery and brutality of past ages, Hwhen man killed man to test which had the stronger arm , and briefly traced the development of civilization until ttmenis spirits become tamed and checked in their fiendish lust for wealth, the world begins to shape her roughhewn edges, and to develop an inward power which promises to rise to heights before untold. HMen declare, said the speaker, that all art, all life confirms the argument that war is inevitable; that even if it were not so, war has been the theme and the inspiration for the best we possess in poetry, in sculpture, in painting and music. But have not such products of the ages, rich in their contributions towards culture, been inspired by the idealisms of war, the stamping of plumed horses, the strain ,of martial music lifting itself above the shouts of victory and triumph,-rather than by the agonized groans of the dying on the battlefield, by the cursing of the millions at a loss far beyond mania poor power to repay, by the horrors of hospitals and prisons, or by the squalor and poverty of homes left destitute? Have the pleasures of a triumph of Alexander been worth the sacrifice of life and love? Was this Godls plan,--that man kill man to test which in His sight had righteous power? Rapidly the young apostle of peace took up and answered the various outworn arguments in favor of the maintenance of martial ardor and the perpetuation of the spirit of militarism, turning then to the consideration of the various factors which will be prominent in the promulgation of peace theories and practices, citing the public school system, commerce and journalism as the most important agencies in this great work, closing with an inspiring appeal to her hearers to enter into this splendid service of spreading the doctrine of Peace on earth, good will towards menil We are met here to-dayfl she said in closing, to honor the dedica- tion of this, our school. May we not also, with the love of service in our hearts, with minds and souls open to the harmony of life and beauty in the spring, the here dedicated to the great task before us,-that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedomj and, going forth into the world of active men and women consecrate ourselves to the highest and best in life, that the spirit of peace may become a. universal and perpetual reality. A Foreword on May Day May-day was upon us. The uPageant was the word. The manual training room was one promiscuous heap which for days had consistently accumulated, and that to the acute distress of all those to whom order in this region is a joy. Those sensitive to ttcleanth and annoyed by its ab- sense evacuated their domain. Then came an invasion of such as hailed one another over the tumult in voices of athletic firmness, of disciplinary commendation, or of unliterary petulance, and with them a number who would have been glad to help if only certain well-drawn hooks on the blackboard of Room Twelve did not beckon so alluringly.

The wreaths cannot be finished until Monday, they would Wilt; save all the good branches for them. Well use everything else for the garlands. Let me do it While you rest. In response to the gentle summons a Whole band attacked the greenest part of the heap. You have seen a fire scoring its first success with a building? You have seen it break through the roof in a dozen places, tear away the sides, expose the timbers, eat them to a mere skeleton, then With an exhausted and victorious chuckle leave that Which before had form and substance, a mound of fine dust? So the heap melted-resolved itself into dust and garlands. So, too, sound accompanied the work of demolition, and like the industrious hum of firemen plying their pleasant practice, words began to disengage themselves,-to become intelligible. ttWho has the shears? HI dub thee Knight, Sir Francis Drake . ttThe girls have to splice theirs before they can beat us . ttHerets an extra piece of string that We shouldntt waste. uCould someone lend me one leaf?

So the heap melted, untl the veriest leaf became invaluable, until one sought among hammer-handles and stray ten-pennies for any blade of green; and men, summoning their courage, faced the powers of earth and air and even robbed the garden. And out of such struggle came a garland- wreathed portico, door-lintels gayly festooned, nay even orange trees bursting into red-geranium bloom. And May-day was adorned.

Owing to the increased enrollment most of the affairs have been given by the professional and academic departments separately. The Junior Bts were welcomed during September into the school by a reception and dance which was enjoyed by all. The preparatory students, during the first semester, gave two dances, which were well attended and at which all had an excellent time. i Midsemester was fully occupied by the preparation for and giving of the Kirmess, the most successful one ever undertaken by the school. I Just before the holidays the school was entertained by a thrilling melodrama entitled nThe Dumb Waiter? The cast, selected frOm among H the Glaucus girls, was carefully chosen and the play well acted. Everyone y forgot the cares of the term and went home for the holidays in a happy A frame of mind. i ' t given, in which every department of the school participated.

An excellent musical and literary program was rendered, while between the various numbers favors were distributed and refreshments served. The aEair was most enjoyeble and is to become a feature of the school year. May 13th a Fancy Dress Ball was given in the gymnasium. Many beau- J tiful and interesting costumes added to the pleasure of the evening. 1 May 26th the girls of the school held a High Jinks program. ttNo men allowed signs were placed about the building, and stunts followed by a dance were enjoyed by the girls of the school and the lady members of the faculty. ' May 30th was given over to the annual school picnic. About two hundred students went to La Jolie and enjoyed the bathing, climbing of the cliffs and the luncheon.

W. C. A. The Y. W. C. A. has been one of the most active associations during the year. Miss Barnes, Miss Salisbury, Rev. Charles Barnes, Rev. W. B. Thorp and many others have addressed the weekly meetings. In March the Misses Gartzmann, Price and Bottum attended the general meeting held at Capitola. TENNIS Three decomposed granite tennis courts now afford ample opportunity for those who enjoy the recreation that tennis affords. More and more of the students are finding them a place for pleasure and exercise. During the year two tournaments are held. In the fall tournament Miss Flora Clark won at singles and Miss Flora Clark and Miss Bertha Tracy were victorious in the doubles. Championship ribbons were given them for their prowess. As we go to press the spring tournament is in progress. Numbers of the students are watching the contest with interest, and everything points to the continued popularity of the game. BASKET BALL Basketball for boys was taken up this year for the first time in the history of the school. Practice began in October with two teams in the lield, made up in part of boys from the Training School. Eight games were played during the season, five with the Y. M. C. A. League, the others with teams from outside points. Three of the eight games played were won by the Normal boys. The result, as shown by thetscores, was not in favor of the Normal School, but when conditions are taken into consideration it is evident that a good showing was made. This was the first attempt to introduce the game into the school, and some of the Normal boys had never seen a game, while many of the opposing teams were made up of experienced players. The boys were further handicapped by being obliged to play in heavy baseball suits for a part of the season. The Normal girls enthusiastically supported the boys in their basket- ball experiment. This support was given not only at the games, but by means of candy sales funds were raised to purchase new suits for the team. With this new equipment and the experience gained this year pros- pects for success during the coming year are very good. THE ROWING ASSOCIATION The Rowing Association was organized in February 1899, and it has had a fiourishing existence ever since. It is true that we find upon looking back over the records that certain crews have suffered extinction; a heavy loss at graduation time has been known to send a crew tottering to an untimely death. Sometimes a group was held together by one strong personality, and when this leader left the rest were scattered; but very rarely has uncongeniality been met with among the members of the different crews. Each forms a unit in itself, the girls being bound together in that intimate friendship which is based upon similarity of tastes and dispositions and which is made even more steadfast by the sharing of their pleasures as well as of their work. And what an inestimable amount of good is derived from the close bond thus formed! The girlsi lives are made richer for having WHITE AND GOLD 5: A Perfect DOMESTIC Combination Domestic Science at S.

Not only does strong unity exist among the members of each crew, but more than this there exists an ttesprit de corpsll binding the several crews together. They have many things in common, whether in the form of a fancy dress ball, a. simple dancing party, a grand banquet or a little spread. On all occasions the walls of the boat house have rung with hearty laughter. The new boat house has been found to lend itself most readily to these good l times, equipped as it is With a spacious reception room, the walls of which are hung with pennants of all kinds and colors. If a supper is to be the order of the day, ttsnuggled away in one corner may be discovered a little kitchen, where coEee may be boiled and dainties may be prepared. Adjoining are the dressing rooms, suiiiciently ample in size to accommodate a full crew. In another corner is the little engine room, which contains a two-horse power motor. The girls wonder how they ever tugged at the ropes, as now they stand with folded hands listening most eomplacently to the chug-chug of their busy little demon. Another thing all of the girls have in common is their barge-their faithful servant, which does them service six days out of the week. It is now in splendid condition; rickety seats have been repaired and those hope- lessly mained have been replaced by new ones. What is more, a. new set of oars has been ordered. The whole boat has had a ugoing over , both inside and out, and with its new coat of paint has almost the freshness and beauty of youth, notwithstanding its long years of devoted service. All of this improvement was made possible by the Kirmess. Two hundred and ninety dollars were taken in-a. sum Which meant a great deal to the Rowing Asso- .' ciation. But let it be reiterated,-the Kirmess did worlds of good in a way quite apart from that already mentioned. It brought the girls together; it developed a spirit of camaraderie amongst them; it fostered a keener interest in the rowing, but greater than all, it aroused enthusiasm and school spirit. Long live the Rowing Association!

But dawning civilization saw Desire and Satisfaction vying with each other in enlarging the interests of mankind, and the necessity of hav- ing some means of dividing the day became apparent. The sun-dial, the symbol by which the senior class has chosen to be re- membered, has, for three thousand years, recorded the passing hours and has inspired the pupils of Plato and Pestalozzi alike to the Wise use of Fleet- footed Time. The place chosen for the gift of the Senior class of 1911 is just Within the circular lawn directly in front of the main entrance. The pedestal is a miniature Doric column of the Roman period, supporting a square plinth upon which rests the dial itself, bearing the legend, uLux me regit et 111x est umbra Dei tLight rules me and light is the shadow of Godt. The only wish of the senior class is that this gift shall be a source of inspira- tion and pleasure to the school for the years to come. The Senior Class The Seniors who in February, 1911, sprang into being as a class, like the Goddess of Wisdom full-grown, will soon bring their eventful career to a close. There have been NupSi and downs but on the whole class life has not been more strenuous nor more trying than is to be expected when important matters are to be decided quickly. The spirited discussions concerning dress, gloves or no gloves, the cap and gown problem, the question of the four thls , Hpresent, pin, play and poverty , and other weighty matters are finally forever disposed of, though their ghosts will probably rise to haunt the classes of 1912. By virtue of their superior mental endowment, and on account of ad- vanced educational attainment, they condescend to leave their successors a few words of advice. Early organization of classes tends to promote class spirit and school spirit as well. The first semester, when students rank as Junior Bls , should produce strong class organization. By thus working together for a longer time, efficient leaders are developed, less friction is manifest, and, best of all, a class enthusiasm which must be the product of time and devotion is developed. Nothing so quickly touches the heart of the new student as the sense of tlbelonging somewhere. The first days in school are likely to be lonely days, and class leaders will do well to nline up prospective members, with a view to having each student in his class organization. Notes The Seniors are a hardy crowd this year, and many plans for June llhiking parties are under way. For the first time in several years the conventional cap and gown will be dispensed with, the class having recognized the fact that cap and gown really belong to those who are candidates for a degree. The decision was reached after considerable heated discussion, but in the end almost every one agreed that dainty white dresses are prettier, after all.

Across the face of the pin, partly upon the columns and partly upon the background, are the all-important letters S. D. N. S. ' The Senior Play Dashing dowu quiet halls, in breathless haste, disturbing peaceful stu- dents in their drowsy cogitations, alarming the beloved faculty by unpre- cedented concentration on a mystical subject, this nerve-racked senior spends her last sweet days in these corridors of fame. The anxious loving student eyes the honored senior with amazement, for never have such mum- blings of learned phrases, such dramatic expressions of face and body been known since that eventful day when it was learned that an association known as ltThe Illiteratesll had been organized,eand the trouble is all this: Class day is coming, and so is the Senior Play. Mr. Bliss has given up all lines of class and research work that he may give his undivided attention to the composition and rehearsing of this play. The lines are exceedingly clever, and the seniors are putting all the pent! up emotion of the past two years into the dramatization. Faculty members are advised to be absent. The only fault that could possibly be found with the play lies in the fact that its name is so short-JThe Chronothonatoletron! -a machine which kills even time. The success of the play depends, now, on the dexterity with which Mr. Crandall pulls those curtain strings-for there- by hangs a tale of great disaster.
