THE NORMAL ADVANCE 3m memoriam Martha Stockinger, whose home was at Batesville, Ind, departed this life July 8, 1911, after a Short illness of peritonitis and appen- dicitis. She had been at home but a few days from Danville, 1nd,, where she was instructor in Primary 1V1ethods in the Central Normal College. She went home to spend the summer with her parents, contemplating further study in Chicago University during the year. Miss Stockinger graduated from I. S. N., 1902, and afterwards attended Columbia University, New York City. Since graduating from I. S. N. she taught, at Frankton, Greenfield, and Danville, Ind. At the last named place she was a teacher in the Danville Public Schools, and instructor in Primary Methods in the Cen- tral Normal College. She was also an author of books on primary teaching. All who ever met Elise Stockinger remem- bered her, for her presence brought sunshine, and her smile was a benediction, and with the lines of the poet Tennyson: tWVhereof the one that with us trod This planet was a noble type, Appearing ere the time was ripe That friend of ours who lives in God, The God which ever lives and loves One God? one law, one element, And one far off divine event To which the whole creation moves? -In Memoriam.

THE NORMALADVANCE 3 determination to Win and to bring glory to his school. He realized the truth that he had a part- to perform, in making his college rank among the best in the land. The honor of his school depended upon his honor and he dared not defile that honor by unworthy conduct. The scholarship of his college was measured by his own scholarship and in order to have his college rank first in that respect he had to make his own of the highest standard. Honest, conscientious work, a Willingness to co-operate with his school in all worthy undertakings, a keen interest in all affairs pertaining to school and a strong desire to promote the welfare of his chosen college had filled his soul With a permanent joy and had endeared the name of his Alma Mater forever. Thus, the F reshnian fOund the true college spirit. AT THE PAETING OF THE WAYS. Day dawns, and just before my eye TWO pathways fork the valley. One turns to Where late dreamers lie, And one where soldiers rally. One slips by easy stages down; One climbs hights Wild and steril. One ends in luxuries of the town; And one in pain and peril. WVhich make I mine? You sluggard dreams His music of sweet slumber To drum-beats of invading schemes Whose feet no man can number. Despoiling good, enriching ill These work Where none suspect them, And make mere slaves of thought and Will That wake not to detect them. Wlhich make I mine? lIn yonder hight Full 0ft, all ease denying, , Oneis only gain is conscious right, Onels rest comes but from dying. But once a prince here died to give His own good spirit to us; And good for Which we, too, would live May work less in than through us. Oh, Who would welcome not a strife Where worth Wins all its glory? Nor waive the roles of mortal life For an immortal story? The bugle calls the hill to storm. 31y body thrills! I use it As due a spiritis uniform Used best by those Who lose it. eRaymondls ttDcmte and Collected Verse.
