'TURMAN EORGE awoke to full consciousness in a fraction of a second. His sieep-sodden mind did not enjoy the delightful haIf-siuinber that comes between deep sleep and awakening. He was tired. His body ached with real fatigue and was elammy with a Chill perspiration, while his mind seemed unable to exercise its aC- customed faculties. He sat up in his bed, with his head resting on his arms, attempting to clear the cobwebs of dreams and the dust of sleep from his brain. Today was Saturday. Of that he was certain, because he had gone to the dance the night be- fore on Friday. Therefore, today was Satur- day. His weariness was the result of the dance, not of his hideous, horrifying dream. He had taken June to the dance the night before. After it was over he had driven out into the country for a few miles. He had not spoken much on the way out, but had listened in speechless contentment t0 the songs J une had sung. Her alto voice had the strange Vibrant sound of a Violincello and its soft music had quieted his excited mind. Then for long in! tervals both had been silent, listening to the gentle purr of the motor as they rolled over the smooth, White roadway. At last he had turned the ear and had started back. From the hilltop they could see the twinkling arc-lights 0f the city far below. All the rest of the landscape was dark, spotted in a few places with lighter patches, where the full moon shone on the fields of silver wheat and oats. The breeze was heavy with the sweet perfume of locusts, for it was spring and the roadside was bordered with the locust trees with their clusters of waX-like blossoms. They had come back to the city quickly and he had left her at her home. That had been Friday night. 'After he left her he went to his home and in a short time had fallen asleep. Then had come that hide- ous nerve-raeking dream. It seemed as if he had gotten up the next morning, had gone to school, to make up some work and was coming home. He had stopped at the garage where the family car was kept. As he had entered the place he saw the pro- prietor reading the noon extra. The man had called, as George approached him, 4tGreorge, have you heard that June killed herself W Too stunned to reply, George had dropped down on the running board of one of the ma- Chines, gazing at the proprietor in mute agony. He had taken the paper and had. read the meager account. Then he had asked the pro- prietor to take him home. As they sped home George had been silent. His intellect refused to credit the awful report. Surely the paper had been wrong. What rea- son would June, his June, have had for doing such a thing? Why had she not taken some- thing swifter, less painful than acid? George had thanked his friend, as in a half: dazed way one fuliilis the nieeties of courtesy without retaining any knowledge of having done so. He had gone into the house and had gone, without a word to his mother, to his room, hoping to regain his mental equilibrium and find some small hope with which to com- bat the haunting fear in his heart. Hours passed while he sat there gazing at a picture of J une, thinking of her as he had seen her last, as he had seen her at dances, pica nics, at school, and at home. Doubts and hopes tormented him. Why had God allowed it, if it were true? No God of love and mercy would have suffered this thing, surely there THE NORMAL ADVANCE 3 was no God. If it were not true, if he were harassed by a vivid night mare, would he never wake up? Then a message from Juneis parents had called him to their home. They had asked him if he knew of any cause for her act. He had sadly replied that he did not. Then they had said J une had quarrelled with her mother over some trivial matter. That had been their only explanation. Then he had gone alone into the room where June lay dead, with the roses faded in her cheeks, the sunlight vanished from her eyes, and the bubbling music of her laughter stilled for eternity. For the lirst time grief touched him. Before, he had been too stupified to realize. that June was dead. It had seemed as if he were asleep and would wake up, or that he were being made the Victim of a ghastly practical joke. He had wanted to tell them all that the jest had gone far enough7 but now it all seemed real, he was alone. What should he live for? After sometime he had left and had gone home again. Exhausted by the wild outburst of emotion and the sustained mental strain, he had gone to bed. Now, in the bright light of day the dream seemed infinitely less terrible than when he had dreamed it. George was unspeakably relieved to thing it was merely an empty phantom re- sulting from an over-tired mind and body. He decided he would tell J une of it when he saw her the next evening, because this day was Sat- urday and he would be too busy to meet her. None of the household was up when George went downstairs. He carried down the text- books for his Saturday morning recitations. He left them on a table and stepped out on the porch to get the morning paper. As he leaned over to pick the paper up, the words, ciSunday Comic Supplementf, met his horrified eyes with all their hideous meaning. ttTemperance is a bridle of gold; he who uses it rightly is more like a god than a many eBmeton. 4 'THE NORMAL ADVANCE mime 33021115 PROF.

It is our earnest hope, as we presume it has been the hope of all our predecessors, to make this the best year of all the years which have preceded it. This means a great deal, because there have been some very successful years in the history of the paper. , The students of I. S. N., however, should keep one thing in mind; namely, that this can- not be a successful year for the ADVANCE unless they make it so. THE NORMAL ADVANCE is the school paper, issued for the benefit of all worthy school interests and enterprises, and as the school paper, it must rely upon the student body for support. The paper can be only what they make it: First of all the ADVANCE needs material for each and every issue. We would like to have ADVANCE 5 every student in school feel that he is cordially invited, even urged, to submit to the editors any article he would like to have published. We do by no means guarantee that every article submitted will be published, but we do guar- antee that it will receive proper consideration, and if it is of standard quality it is certain to be seen in print. The other important avenue in which the ADVANCE needs support is in subscriptions. The paper, as a student organ, endeavors to support the best interests of the student body as a whole. Is it then asking too much of the stu- dents when we request that every one support the paper by subscribing for it? The sub- scription price of the entire eight issues from October to May inclusive is but seventy-iive cents, so there can be no complaint registered because of the high price. If the students of I. S. N. will but take these two things into consideration-the handing in of good material for publication, and the sub scription habit, there can be nothing that will be able to prevent the twentieth year of THE NORMAL ADVANCE from being the best ever. Is there not a large number of things which one can think of doing at the beginning of a term? The term stretches away so far ahead, and seems to be such a long time, that one is tempted to think that it will be possible to do everything that has been planned, and still have a very good margin of tinie left. The most natural course is to take this margin of time at the first of the term rather than at the last. It is owing to this fact that one sees so many students taking things easy at the first of the term, and then sees the same persons going the proverbial sixty-miles-an-hour gait during the last two or three weeks. If it were only possible to overcome this repugnanee for work toward the first of the 6 THE NORMAL ADVANCE term7 how much easier it would be for every one at the last. PLEASE TAKE NOTIOE. A11 Normal students should realize that busi- ness relations are reciprocal. There are busi- ness men in Terre Haute Who will under no consideration, support any Normal publication or enterprise, consequently you have not the time to call upon them. Contrary to this class are many dealers who are always loyal to the school and to student enterprises; their ads Will be found in the AD- VANCE. It stands to reason, that if you are an honest, appreciative student, you Will observe it as a duty to trade With these men entirely. Also kindly mention Where you saw the ad. In this issue of THE ADVANCE Will be found an article, itThe Lost Day;7 by Arthur F. Turn man, Which was written While Mr. Turman was a senior in the Normal Training High School.

By a recent ruling the state of Indiana was divided into three sections, under the super- vision of Purdue University, Indiana Uni- versity and the Indiana State Normal School, respectively. Each institution appoints a rep- t resentative to go into the schools of the state to assist in any way possible the teachers in their domestic science instruction. Miss Conmy represents the State Normal in thirty counties of the state. At the opening of the spring term she Will take up active work in the Domestic Science Department.

THE NORMAL ADVANCE 9 3m memoriam ROBERT PARSONS. 4cHow Long IVe Live Not Years, But Actions Tell?7 Robert Parsons, son of President and Mrs. W. W. Parsons, passed away in his twenty- first year on July 23, 1914. Robert began his student life at the age of siX in the Normal Training School and con- tinued there until he was graduated from the high school four years ago. He then entered Wabash College, where he distinguished him- self in scholarship, winning the Rhodes scholarship in his junior year and Phi Beta Kappa in his senior year. In college, as in the Normal School, he endeared himself to his teachers and associates by his gentleness of spirit and unfailing courtesy. It is the regret of all who knew him that this life of such great promise did not bloom into its full maturity; and yet few men of three score and ten have lived so full a life as Robert did in his twenty-one years. To President and Mrs. Parsons in their great sorrow, the faculty and the student body extend their warmest sympathy. CAPTAIN TVILLIAM H. ARMSTRONG. In offering this tribute to the services of Captain William H. Armstrong as member and President of the Board of Trustees of the In- diana State Normal School, it is fitting to reo- ognize not only his valuable work and the fidel- ity and zest with Which it was always per- formed, but also the uniform courtesy and kindly spirit which accompanied it. This edu- cational service was only a small part of that larger field of good citizenship in which these same qualities were shown. To indicate the liberal equipment he brought to his service upon the Board, brief reference, is made to his life career. Captain Armstrong was born near the town of VVigton, Cumberland County, England, May 14, 1844, but when three years of age came with his parents to Knox County, Illinois, and from 1847 to 1863 he was receiving an education from this new, strange environment, from his home life and from the country and village schools. He thus received the. influences of two nationalities. At nineteen years of age he entered the Federal Army, and served until March, 1866, thus taking up into his educa- tion the great and enduring influences of the Civil War. At the close of this service, he en- tered upon the business of real estate and col- lection of government claims, in Paducah, Ky. In 1869 he received from the government an appointment in the Internal Revenue Service. Later, he removed to Terre Haute, entered upon the business of druggist, identified himself with the general interests of the city, serving with credit a term as Mayor. About 1885 he re- moved to the larger field of Indianapolis, and established himself as the head of a firm en- gaged in furnishing druggistsi supplies and ap- paratus. In all these forms of activity he was a conspicuous representative of good citizen- ship. He filled with credit his place as a house- holder, as a churchman, and as a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, and its allied organizations. It was his characteristic to en- ter with strong and constant interest and zest into the affairs of each organization with which he was allied. In 1892 he was appointed a Trustee of the Indiana State Normal School, and became President of the Board. In his long and valuable service of more than twenty- one years, he manifested in a marked degree, 10 THE NORMAL ADVANCE that courtesy and kindly spirit, that strong stantial worth of the school, and to enhance its and steady interest, and that capable activity usefulness to the state. that always characterized him in the aifairs of We extend to his bereaved family our recog- citizenship, church, and the military organiza- nition of his high-minded services to society, tions that arose to commemorate the trials and and express our sincere sympathy. valor 0f the civil war.

Louthain, 0f Logansport, was elected president of the Board :to succeed Captain WV. H. Arm- strong, deceased. Mr. Louthain was originally appointed a member of the Board by Gover- nor Durbin in 1903. He .Was afterwards re- appointed by Governor'Hanley, at the expira- tion of this term was re-appointed by Grover- nor Marshall, and was re-appointed for the third time by Governor Balaton. Mr. Louthain is the proprietor and editor of the Logansport Pharos, one of the leading newspapers in Northern Indiana. He stands very high in the state as a citizen and editor, and is a man of the highest personal character and integrity. BENJAMIN tF. LOUTHAIN h. 12 THE NORMAL ADVANCE THE NORMAL LECTURE COURSE.

TTHOW slow the time T0 the warm soul, that, in the very instant It forms, would execute a great design? eThompson. THE NORMAL ADVANCE 13 gthleticg HE outlook for I. S. N. basket ball this fall is especially good. Besides nearly all of last years squad, a wealth of new ma- terial has entered school this fall. Of last years varsity squad, those who returned to school this fall, are: Capt. Knauth, Schench, Swanagan, forwards; Stifller, center, and Wann, Boyer, guards, also Shriner, the regu- lar sub 0n the team. Only one man is gone, Clark. But to make up for his loss7 there is Leech from Vincennes, and Burnett, both old play- ers; Robinson, a good candidate for guard; Mandeville, of last years Normal High School team; Claylton, member of last yearas 1911 varsity and Hoggart, a candidate for center. Coach Westphal is certainly feeling very 0p- timistie over the outlook. He gave the followe ing statement: ttVVhile old men are apparently in good shape, they know that they have no snap in holding their jobs for there are cere tainly some good, new men? So far as schedule is concerned, we are as- sured of some good games. We have been of- fered games with Indiana and have a tentative offer with Purdue, although nothing has been done definitely. The annual cider meet, which Professor VVestphal inaugurated when he took charge of Athletics at I. S. N., will probably be held in two or three weeks. This is an inter-elass af- fair that has added quite a little to the inter- est in Athletics and should continue to stimu- late interest. Coach Westphal is certainly do- ing his part to get out a splendid basket ball team and with the material from which he has to choose, there is no doubt that I. S. N. will again rank high in the athletics of the state. Last year we did splendidly, but this year we all wish to do, and. there is no reason Why we can not do, better. 011 Tuesday afternoon, Oct. 21, a mass meet- ing was held in the chapel for the purpose of electing representatives from the various classes to the nominating committee. Prof. Gillum was in charge and started the meeting enthusiastically by calling for some school yells. ctFaW Miller, our old yell-master, ren- dered some valiant service in helping to stir up athletic spirits. Prof. Gillurn then sepa- rated the classes for the purpose of electing their various representatives. were: Those chosen College Course, Messrs. Sehenck and Shriner; seniors, Messrs. Stiffler and Pyle; juniors, Messrs. French and Merchant; sopho- mores, Messrs. Brewer and Perry. Credit must be given the students of the College Course for the enthusiasm shown, perhaps due somewhat to the fact that they number the yell-leader among them. When all classes were through, Professor Gillurn again called the meeting to order and the nominating committee was announced. Professor Gillum then announced a meeting of this committee to nominate the Athletic Ase sociation oilicers. He then gave a short talk in which he urged that every one, students and faculty, alike, help support the Athletic Asso- ciation. He spoke of the difference between I. S. N. and other colleges. At some of the colleges, the association fee is higher, $10 or $15, while here it is only $3 per year, or $1 per term. At other schools it is compulsory, here it is entirely arbitrary with the student. Talks were also made by Rightsell, the President of last years association; Miller, last years yell leader, and by Sigler, the President of the Y. M. C. A. By this time Professor Laubach had come in and he was called upon for a talk. He united with the others in urging that every- one join and take upon himself a responsibility 14 THE NORMAL ADVANCE to help the Athletic Association. It makes the the life of the school, and like almost every- thing else in this world, cannot exist for any length of time without funds. While the fee is not large, if every student becomes a mem- ber and pays his fee, it is amply sufficient for the expenses of the Association. Let us all help and take a personal interest and pride in the achievements of our I. S. N. athletes. There is no better way of showing this inter- est or pride than by becoming members of the Athletic Association.

HE organization meeting of the Oratori- cal League was held Monday, October 19, in room B 11. Professor Bacon called the meeting to order, after which the officers were elected as follows: Robert LaFollette, presi- tlent; Norma Wilson, Vice-president; Hilda Hathaway, secretary, and George Cromwell, treasurer. The president brought up the discussion of the subject for the inter-society and inter-state debate. Of the three subjects placed before the league, the following was chosen: ttResol'Ved That the United Stated Should Establish a System of Ship Subsidies. With the Purpose of Building up the American Deep Sea Mer- chant Marine? Much interest in the coming debates was evidenced, and the subject chosen gave general satisfaction. ALETHENAI. ITH eight active members the Alethenai Literary Society has begun its work With prospects for a very successful year. The first meeting of the society was held on Saturday, October 10, to discuss plans for the year. It was decided that the study of pres- ent day writers and their works should. be taken up, together with music and Current events. The following oflieers were elected for the term: President, Grace Golay; Vice-president, Olive VVOOd; secretary and treasurer, Helen J ones; editor, Louise McDonald; artist, Edith Riner. The pledged members are; Misses Axel, Patterson, Beck, Coffey, Fisher, Campbell and Reece. . The society was Visited Saturday, October 17 , by Misses Provines and Campbell. OIOEBONIANS. With the opening of the fall term, the Cicer- onians, with their usual energy and enthus- isam, have begun their plans for the coming year. The outlook is especially good was a large majority of the older members have returned to school this fall. At the firstregular meeting, held October 8, at the city library, the fol- lowing men answered to roll call: J Olin Koch, W. O. Shriner, Otho Shaw, Lawrence Scheid- ler, Robert LaFollette, C. E. Melton, C. E. VValk. Since then C. H. Buckles, O. R. Nees, Carlos Dunagan and William M. Frushour have been elected to membership, and it is expected that a full membership will be obtained soon. These men are all thoroughly imbued With Ciceronian spirit, and without a doubt the coming year will be a most successful year in Ciceronian history and the Ciceronian Society will again maintain its position in debating Circles of I. S. N. S. Already great interest is being shown by the members, and as school work straightens out of the customary dis- order at the beginning of the school year, bet- ter results will be obtained at the weekly meet- ings of the society. DAEDALIAN. The Daedalian Literary Society met for the first time Wednesday, October 7, to plan for the years work. Although only the five 01d members, Miller, Knautih, Pyle, Paddock and Sigler were present the meeting was an inter- esting one and several names were presented to the society. Since then three new men, Dome, Schenek and Byrne, have become members of the society. The officers this term are Miller, president; Pyle, vice-president; Knauth, secre- 16 THE NORMAL ADVANCE tary; Dome, treasurer; Paddock, parliamen- tarian7 and Sigier, chaplain. The society meets every Saturday morning at 8 07010011 It is the intention of the society to do more debating and introduce music. As yet no arrangements have been made for any social functions, but no doubt the Daedalians Will do their part in the social line. Every member is earnestly endeavoring to maintain the high standard of work Which has always been characteristic of the Daedalian Society. Although few in number they are great in spirit and are looking forward to a very suc- cessful year. Everyone is in good working condition and is proving himself to be a capable and tactful speaker in debate. The question cTiesoly'ecil, That there should be provided, by state or national legislation, a social insurance law pro- tecting the individual against old age, prema- ture death, sickness, accident and involuntary unemployment,77 was debated by the society at its regular meeting Saturday, October 24. Much interest was manifested in the debate and the talks showed careful preparation. Itis the desire of every Daedalian to support and promote the interests of the society in such a way as to meet the approval of the former members and make them feel that their pre- cepts have been carefully observed. E OLE CT! 0. The Eclectic Literary; Society held its first meeting of the year, October 8, 1914, to re-or- ganize after the summer vacation. The OHieeI's elected for the fall term were: ' President, Hildagarde Maehling; Vice-presi- dent, Gladys Grey; secretary, Beulah Dunn; treasurer, Maize Jane Elliott; artist, Hazel Taylor; parliamentarian, Edith Price. The society is fortunate in the return of thirteen 01d members, Who are already show- ing much enthusiasm in the work. The program committee 'has shown much originality in the course of study chosen for this term. The plans are to study each week the life and works of a diiferent author, each author being of a different nationality. Three new members have been admitted into the society, Misses J ewel Beaver, Audry Slink- ard and Marie McRoberts. FORUM. At the first meeting, Oct. 19, the Forum started its work for the coming year, Rightsell and Dobbs acting as Chairman and secretary. Messrs. Andrew Mercker, Luther Troutman, Raymond Rightsell, Charles Dalton, Clifford Blackmail, Charles Burton, and George Hahn answered the first roll call. At this meeting the following officers were elected for the com- ing term; treasurer, Mercker, program commit tee, Blackman and Hahn; historian Hahn. Although the Forum was considerably crip- pled by the loss of a number of its old mem- bers, Who are either teaching or in school else where, it started the working machinery to move at the first call. Each and every member of the society is doing all in his power to pro- mote the welfare of the organization.

THE NORMAL ADVANCE 21 QEIass QBrganiaatiuns COLLEGE 00 URSE. 0 YOU students of metaphoric natures, can you not realize that the College Course is the ttDemingit of the Indiana State Normal School? The College Course is still in the growing stage as is proved by the gain of ten per cent in numbers over that of the fall term of the preceding year. The College Course can boast of being almost to the two hundred mark. On October 14, the College Course held a meeting for the election of oflicers. The result was as follows: J. M. Koch, president; Maize Elliot, Viee-president; Minerva Peyton, secre- tary; Andrew Merker, treasurer; Robert La F oHette, and Richard Sigler, members of the Oratorical League; Heinie Knauth, Athletic Captain; Walter Shriner, Class Editor; Mr. Gunn, chairman of the social committee; Ralph Schenck, member of the Board of Control. The present issue of importance is the pay- ing of the twenty-five cent dues to the Treas- urer, which make the coming ctBig Social Stuntf possible. Not wishing to take the Normal Courses by surprise this means is taken to warn them that wheh any feats of valor come up the College Course shall be there. SENIORS. Pursuant to call for a meeting, about fifty members of the Senior Class met in Room B 12, Wednesday, October 14:. The meeting was called to order by acting Chairman, Chas. E. Melton.

M., and the following otiicers were elected: Walter R. Brewer, president; Robert McKig, Vice- president; Edgar L. lVIOrphet, seeretary-treas- urer. Merl Perry and CroHord H. Buckles, were elected to represent the Sophomore Class at the Oratorical League, the other oiiices being left vacant until a future meeting. A class banquet is being planned. A large attendance is expected as the Sophomores never fail to come. The Sophomores are certainly a lively bunch, as every one knows, and that is why they all come to the banquets. Have you ever noticed the number of Sophomores this term? Watch them start something. 22 THE NORMAL ADVANCE ,7, 39. m. ant 309. am. at. a. 17.111. 0.11. HE prospects for a successful year in the 'Y. M. C. A. work are very favorable. To each of the meetings held thus far there has been a large and enthusiastic attendance. Light refreshments were served at the first meeting on October 13, and on the following meeting Professor Rettger gave a lecture on ttThe Different Phases of a College Educa- tion?, On Friday evening, October 16, a joint re- 'ception was held in the association rooms, given by the Y. W. and Y. M. C. As to the student body and faculty, a tri-annual event, which has become historical in the annals of the In- diana State Normal School.' Y. TV. 0. A. The work of the Young Women7s Christian Association has been continued this year with the following students as oflieers: Margaret Gillum, president; Hazel Sehaper, secretary, and Minerva Payton, treasurer. A vacancy has been made by the absence from school of IVinifred Ray, who had been re-eleeted vice- president. Members of the cabinet are: I Norma WIilsoneCorresponding Secretary. Grace GolayeSoeial Chairman. Hilda Hathawawaalling Chairman. Clara SasseProgram Chairman. Gladys Gray-tBible Chairman. Bertha Colton-Mission Study Chairman. In the instructions to officers the statement is made regarding membership in the organiza- tion, that ttany woman of the institution may sign an application blank for membership in the Young VVomen7s Christian Association through invitation from the membership com- mittee or through her own initiativej, and of course anyone would be heartily welcomed who is at all interested in the work, since the success of the Y. W. depends upon the interest and personal efforts of the individual members. If you have read the story of ttThe Ship That Found Herselffl you will appreciate the fact that in all great unions of independent things, harmony and service only result when each part realizes that it has its share of responsibility, but that it must work in unity with other parts i of the great whole. DO you wonder at the meaning of this tcpreaehingw It is only meant to hint very gently that with Iive or siX hundred girls in school, there ought to be enough shoulders to bear the responsibility of thirty-six weeks, and make this a glorious year. We have had three meetings, and our only regret is that we still had standing room when the doors were closed. One of those three meet- ings was devoted to reports of the Student Conference at Lake Geneva, to which we sent two delegates, Minerva Payton and Bertha Colton; and their stories of Lake Geneva hap- penings were very interesting; and at our meeting last week Dr. Mark of Centenary Church was the speaker, and if you werenlt there you missed something. I dont need to tell you about the joint re- ception of the Y. M. and Y. W. for I think it advertised itself. There was a large attendance, and we are hoping that as many as possible who enjoyed our hospitality on that evening will understand that we extend as cordial a welcome for every Tuesday afternoon at three- thirty in the association rooms. As one of our learned professors said the other day in dis- cussing another school organization: the meet- THE NORMAL ADVANCE 23 ings are enjoyable and if you dont find your- self interested at times, consider the fact that perhaps the trouble lies Within you, and become interesting yourself. Then y0u11 Iind the meetings are all right. Now, just one more little story and then I7ni through. Last summer I often listened to the trains making their way up the mountains, and as the plucky engines tugged their ears up the steep grade, they pulled out these words With the utmost determination: :41 think I can; I think I can; I think I eanf, and then when they reached the station at the end of the steep climb where they halted for breath, they sang out perhaps breathlessly, but none the less joy- fully, t'tI knew I could; I knew I could; I knew I couldW N OW the incline between the first floor and the association room may be a little steeper than the grade between Tryon and Saluda, but it is not nearly so long, and I111 sure if you just make up your mind, conserve your energy and then let your feet keep time to ttI think I can; I think I can; I think I can? youili reach the top iioor in safety, and your pleasure in your achievement Will only be equalled by ours, as you gasp forth breathlessly but happily: ttI knew I could; I knew I could; I knew I could? lotal ant glumm' Miss Zelpha Burkett, C.

It was evident that those in charge had put forth special effort THE NORMAL ADVANCE 25 to make every one happy. The Normal school, the Rose Polytechnic, and the various High Schools of the city were represented. Upon entering each one registered his name in a book for the purpose and wrote his name on a card and pinned it on his shoulder. thile the crowd was gathering :1 list of Charades were pinned around the wall and each one was given a paper and pencil to write down the names of all the flowers he could guess.

These exchanges furnish most pleasant intercourse with other schools and institutions and keep us in touch with the affairs of our fellow-workers. From these papers we hope to receive many valuable , suggestions for the uplifting of our own paper, and we in turn should be glad if our NORMAL ADVANCE has in any way given help to another. How much easier it is to see the weaknesg in another work than in our own! So, if in this column we call attention to what seems to us reminded of our own shortcomings. If we have occasion to praise the merits of others, tand judging from the papers received we know we shalD may we, too, be commended for the good in our paper. There is an interesting column in the In- diana Student, which is published daily by the students of Indiana University. The head- ing, ttBest Editorials of the College World? reveals the best thoughts gleaned from other papers of the day. We shall give an editorial which was quoted in this paper entitled: chRE YOU EDUCATED?,, A professor in the University of Chicago told his students he should consider them edu- cated in the best sense of the word when they could say tyes, to every one of the questions that he should put to them. Here they are: Has education given you sympathy with all the good causes and made you espouse them? Has it made you public-spirited? Has it made you a brother to the weak? Have you learned how to make friends and keep them? Do you know what it is to be a friend your- self? to be a deficiency in another, may we also be Can you look an honest man or a pure woman in the eye? Do you see anything to love in a little child? XVill a lonely dog follow you in the street? Can you be high-minded and happy in the meanest drudgeries of life? Do you think washing dishes and hoeing corn as compatible with high thinking as piano playing or golf? Are you good for anything yourself? Can you be happy alone? Can you look out on the world and see any- thing except dollars and cents? Can you look into a mud puddle by the way- side and see a clear sky? Can you see anything in the puddle but mud? Can you look into the sky at night and see beyond the stars? The Racquct, which comes from the State Normal at La Crosse, Wisconsin, calls for let- ters for publication. These letters are to be written by students expressing their Views on diEerent phases of the school life. ttYou may express in strong, nay, even fiery words, your opinions, sentiments, doubts, and desires on any and every subject touching this school. The Racquet room sits with open doors, the letter stand with empty arms, and the staff llits about with eager hands. Do help us and give vent to your feelings? Why would this not be a good idea for us to copy? The same paper also earnestly advocated that the students patronize the advertisers of the school paper. Its idea was that if you pour your money into the coffers of the friends of the paper, advertising in the school paper will be a paying investment, and the advertising manager will be pursued by would-be adver- tisers. Do we at home know who our adver- tisers are? If so, do we patronize them?

Methought I beheld a boy and a man stand- ing in a shady glen named ttHomeYl The man7 whose name was Proud Parent, spake thus to the boy: t4My son, go ye forth upon this Highway of Education, on which we stand. You have trodden its easier mazes and have come through the immense Forest of Common School, and now have overtaken me, your father, who be- gat you. I am ambitious for you and wish to send you on from here into the still more dif- ficult paths of the Wilderness of High School. There are four paths through this wilderness, each more difficult than the last. At the end of each path are four golden apples. Go you forth each day until you have brought the sixteen golden apples. But beware of one thing. Near each golden apple is concealed a goose egg. Unless you obey the instructions you re- ceive along the road, you will bring home goose eggs instead of golden apples and then you will, perforce, tread the same path agaih. Take this spotless mantle of Reputation and bring it back to me as clean as you take it. Heed my warnings and go with Godspeed and my blessings? Average Boy, tfor such was his namel em- braced his father and with many promises started along the pleasant road with a joyful heart. He was joined by many other youths, each, like himself, intent on pursuing the paths of Education to the end. They made goodly speed through the gently sloping fields of Resolve, and soon came to a stream. The water was muddy and the cur- rent was swift. The band halted in surprise at the sight, and deemed the stream impassable. As they gazed, a prosperous looking man ap- proached. He had a bland countenance, but his eyes seemed evil and resembled the eyes of a reptile. ttWhatls amissW he cried out from a dis- tance. ttVVe have set out to find the golden apples of wisdom in the Wilderness of High School, but we cannot lind the Bridge of Entrance EX- amination on which to cross the River of Dis- qualification? answered Average Boy. ttCertainly not? replied the man, whose name was Labor Agent. ttAnd if you did you would only fall in the river and have great dif- ficulty in getting out, for the bridge is by far too frail for such fine fellows as I take you to be. But if you will come with me down this path you will find the short road to Success, for at its end is the Grove of Wealth, when you may pick all the golden apples you wish?7 When the youths heard these words, many began to run down the path, leaving only half a score. These said: ctOur fathers have pursued that path all their lives, and have told us that you lie. We know that the path of Manual Labor and that the THE NORMAL ADVANCE 31 best trees in the Grove of WVealth are reserved for those who have come there by the more dif- ficult Road of Education?, They began anew the search for the Bridge of Entrance Examinations and at last it was found. They discovered that they had been hunting for it on the Bluff of Haste, while it could only be seen from the sloping Bank of Patience. The bridge was indeed frail, being only a plank laid across the stream. As they went across, five fell into the water and swimming to the bank from which they had come, they began to follow the path of Manual Labor, de- claring that they would not try again lest they fall once more. After Average Boy and his friends had crossed the bridge, they found themselves at the base of a very high hill called the Hill of Discipline. Deep ravines cut the slopes into a mere thread work. A straight and narrow path led over the hill. The youths started up the path gaily, but soon they walked with la- boring steps, for they found that try as they would, it was impossible to keep from falling into the pits which lay on either side of the path. First, they 'fell into thispering Abyss, all save Conscientiousness, who never let his eyes stray from the path. They slid down the steep precipice to the bottom. When they had crawled out, they found that Conscientiousness was far ahead so they mended their pace, and began to overtake him rapidly. ttFriendsllt cried Average Boy, ctwhat has befallen us? Behold, we each have marred our mantles of Reputation W 4The sooner we have them entirely black, the sooner we shall cease to become worse;7 an- swered a youth whose name was Ttu, and whose countenance fitted his name. So saying he began to strike the boy before him, who in defense turned and gave tit for tat. They lost their balance and slid down into Rowdy Pit. The sides were much steeper in this ravine than they were in Whispering Well, and the three left on the path had good cause to fear for the lives of their companions. As they listened for a sound, of life, they heard far away the accent of a sermon, which seemed to issue forth from the depths of the pit. When Tuny and his companion crawled out of the pit they affirmed that those on the path had judged aright the direction from which the sounds had come. By this time, Conscientiousness was out of sight; so the four hurried on with no change in their appearance, save that Taffy and Weak Will now had two stains on their Reputations, while Average Boy and Sneak had only one each. These events were sufficient to cause Average Boy, Sneak and Weak Will to keep their eyes on the path, but not so with Tuffy. At last he fell into the Abyss of Impudence. As the three watched for his return they saw a huge can roll out of the Grotto of Expel and as it made its way swiftly down the hill and out of the Wilderness of High School they heard tta wailing and. gnashing of teeth?7 Now they began to descend the hill. At the bottom they saw a large barn. Approaching, they found a sign on the barn advertising liv- ery accommodations. Before the barn was a man, who on seeing them, began to coax them in every manner to rent beasts to hear them the more quickly to their destination. On in- quiring the boys were informed that ponies were the only animals kept at this stable. ttLet us rent some, for they will rest us, and we shall overtake Conscientiousness, and laugh his sprightness to scorn;7 said Sneak. ttWe cannot? answered Average Boy7 ttfor in this wilderness each man is supposed to make shift for himself. Only an ass would ride a pony, and that were an unseenly sight? ccAnol who will know that we have ridden ponies? Sneak is right? said Weak Will; so they procured ponies at the barn, and rode rapidly away. They very soon came to an immense bog called the Slough of Latin. There near the entrance they saw Conscientiousness, complete- ly swamped in Preliminary Readings. The 32 THE 'NORMAL ADVANCE ponies being light and sturdy, crossed this part of the swamp easily, the youth not failing to jeer at their more honest companion. The Easier Chapters of land being passed, they emerged from the swamp, only to find themselves at the base of the great Algebra Hill. Here once more the ponies were of great service. Th next thing that lay before them, was a great forest. The trees grew in such great numbers that the roots interlaced in such a way that it were easier to step from root to root than to step between them. The youth had become so accustomed to riding that they did not wish to dismount. The ponies, however7 seemed to be infuriated at the sight of the wood, and began to back, pitch and jump, and to perform all manner of evil pranks which a bad dispositioned pony could. Still the youths were determined, and by dint of many lashes they forced the ponies into the wood. The wood was pleasant to pedestrians, but to those whom laziness prompted to ride it was a night-mare. After a long struggle, they reached the open fields again. ttVVhat is the name of that forest, anyhow? asked Weak Will. They all turned back. There amid the roots of the trees they beheld wild flowers growing. Beautiful birds of many colors, and rare species flew from tree to tree. A whole menagerie of the forests animals were skipping about. 4cThe XVood of Biology W they gasped. tcWe are dolts to have wasted our opportunity like this?9 exclaimed Average Boy. 6Now we are tired and exasperated, while if we had fol- lowed the example of Conscientiousness, we might have been resting, and the wiser for our pains. As it is, we have labored the hard- est, and have nothing to show for it? cW'Vhat you say may all be true? answered Sneak7 ttbut since we have ridden this far, let us ride the rest of the way? ttYesfl said Weak Will, ttSneak speaks with wisdom., So Average Boy decided to do what the Bunch did. Only then did they notice that they were standing at the base of an almost perpendicular precipice. They attempted to force their ponies up, but it seemed that they must fail. The English Precipice seemed too steep. Sand covered the rocks wherever it could lodge, and on this the ponies slipped and fell time and again. The sun was just sink- ing as they reached the top. ttIf it had not been for the sand, we would have gotten up here sooner; gasped Sneak. Average Boy looked ruefully down the hill. Then he sprang to his feet. ttSand nothinglll he cried. ttThose were Pearls of Thought, and they were 4;cast before swine?7 If we had not followed your advice, we could have gathered them at our leisure for future use, but now we are tired and unfit to swim the River of Examinationsf, Sneak and Weak Will looked in the direc- tion toward which Average Boy pointed, and there they behold a river thrice as dangerous as the River of Disqualifications at which they had blenchecl in the morning. ttVVellfl said Sneak, 4tit you have followed my advice this far, you might as well follow it a little farther. XVhat is the use of trying to cross the stream? Let us give up? ttThaHs what I thinkf said Weak WVill. tiCowardslla cried Average Boy, ctsuit your- selves;7 and he jumped into the stream. On the opposite bank there were two land- ings, one directly across the stream and one a bit down stream. Being tired by his ride, Average Boy was unable to reach the landing directly across the ricer. When he did land the sun had set, and he had to feel his way. He struck his head against something hard. On investigation he found that he had struck a bag in which were four hard objects. He knew that his fate rested on what was in the bag; so he looked about for a light by which he might see what the fatal sack contained. Through the trees he saw a glimmer. He hur- ried toward it and found that it came from the home of his father, Proud Parent. He halted in doubt. He feared his fatheris anger should THE NORMAL ADVANCE ' .33 there be no golden apples in the bag, and his conscience told him that there were none. Fin- ally he got up courage to enter. t4My son? said Proud Parent, cthaveiyou brought the golden apples?7 IVithout a word Average Boy opened the bag and out rolled four goose eggs. Proud Parent was sorely vexed at his son, but he did not lose his temper. Instead he be- came sorrowful and his eyes filled with tears. ctMy sonf, said he, t4you have shaken my trust in you. No doubt evil companions have been your undoing. But I will give you another chance on the marrow?7 At these words Average Boyls conscience overwhelmed him and he promised in tears to do better the next day. Then methought I beheld that shady glen once more, where but a day since I had seen Proud Parent and his son. This morning Proud Parent did not speak at- length to his son, but pressed his hand and whispered: ttRemember your promise? Average Boy went on his way, not heeding the groups of youths going in his direction. He determined to avoid all company, for he thought in this way to avoid all evil friends. At the River of Disqualification he met Labor Agent who accosted him, saying: ttYou see I did not speak an untruth. Now you have wasted Twenty-four Golden Hours of Opportunity and have gained nothing but goose-eggs. Imagine for yourself the riches your friends, who harked to words7 must have gained by this timeft Average Boy debated thus with himself: t4Labor Agent speaks truly. I might have laid thrice sixteen golden apples at my fath- erls feet instead of four goose-eggs, had I fol- lowed this mants advice. But I am better late than never. I will go now.,, So Average Boy left the Highway of Edu- cation and hurried down the Path of Manual Labor. He ran an hour before anything was apparent. Then he saw a tree, which seemed to be dead. Quickening his pace, he found that the tree had been literally torn to pieces. Not a trace of an apple was left. He hurried on, passing many who did not have his endurance. He passed many torn down trees, and at last, about sunset he reached a high hill. On the other side he be- held a crowd running wildly. With a shout of hope he sprang down the hill, only to find that the throng was so great that he would have no Chance to get any of the apples. He passed several trees where the crowd seemed forbid- dingly large and at last halted before a tree, where, on the topmost bough hung a huge golden apple. He dashed into the struggle, and after a long Fight made his way to'the tree. Despite the elforts of those around him he Climbed up the tree and for a moment Average Boy Possessed a golden apple. He saw that it would be almost impossible to fight his way out of the crowd, but he resolutely started down. Every man in the throng who could, laid his hands Violently upon Average Boy, so that by the time he reached the outer part of the crowd, he held only the stem of the apple. It was too late in the day to go further; so he started sadly home mournfully eyeing his trophy. ccAt least I may show my father 'a bit of gold, however small? he thought. Just then his eye caught a brassy look about the stem, so he tasted it and found his souvenir to be solid brass. ttVVoe is me Pl he cried, :41 have betrayed my fatherls trust again, and wasted my own time to the end that I might have a worthless brass trinket, a bauble of no worth! 0 my shame W IVhen he reached home he threw himself at his fathers feet and told all that had hap- pened. ttMy son, I still have faith? said Proud Par- ent, ch will give you a third trial before I cone demn you? Again at morning, Average Boy started on his way. This time no one gave him a God- speed. He was neither gay nor sorrowful, but 34 determined. At the river, he met Labor Agent, who, in a sneering manner said: 4tYou are a pretty fellow. J ust because you did not .get the hrst apple you laid your hands on, you are discouraged. If you were made of the right stuff you would go back and try again? . Without heeding these words Average Boy went straight to the Bridge of Entrance EX- aminations, and having safely crossed, he be- gan to climb the Hill of Discipline. He found that by keeping his eye upon the path, after the manner of Conscientiousness, he could walk the ttstraight and narrowti without falling by the wayside. Elated by his speed in climbing the hill, he quickened his pace, passed the livery barn, and left unheeded the man, who praised his ponies to the skies. Entering the Slough of Latin he found, to his surprise, that there seemed to be a Iirm foundation gradually forming under his feet. After a time he arrived at the base of A1- gebra Hill. His heart sank at the thought of climbing the hill, but he set resolutely about the task. Much to his amazement he found that the hill was not utterly barren, but was covered with bushes called Problems on which grow much Food for Thought. He partook liberally of this fruit as he walked along and found that it eased his path by one-half. The hill having been passed, he entered the Wood of Biology at a rapid pace, and was so in- terested at the many curious things there found that he was at the base on English Precipice before he realized it. The afternoon was not far spent, so he took his time in climbing the Cliff, utilizing his op- portunity by gathering many of the Pearls of Thought lodged among the rocks. Not being fatigued on reaching the top, he plunged directly into the River of Examina- tions and with a few powerful strokes swam across to the landing opposite the spot where he entered. There before him he saw a bag handing on a limb of a tree. He placed it THE NORMAL ADVANCE across his shoulder and started on. Soon he began to recognize the land through which he was passing and at sunset reached his fathers house. c4XVhat have you done with your last oppor- tunity?7 asked Proud Parent. 441 have turned it to best account? answered Average Boy, and with those words he poured four golden apples upon the table. Next morning as Average Boy started along a new path, he looked sorrowfully at the stains on his Reputation. g4Must I be marked forever for the sins of my nrst weakness?7 he asked himself. Look- ing before him he saw a storm approaching rapidly. For a few moments he was com- pletely drenched by the Storm of Forgiveness, but when the tempest was passed he found his Mantle of Reputation to be almost as spotless as when he hrst entered the WVilderness of High School. The River of Examinations did not extend to the new path, so Average Boy had no obstacle to pass until he reached the Hill of Discipline. The hill at this place was quite as steep as he had found it before, but the path was wider. Noticing this, Average Boy presumed upon his liberty, and failed to pay close attention to the path, with the natural result that he fell in the Spit-Wad Pit. To his surprise he fell on something soft, but he shivered when saw that he was on a green carpet. Not daring to move, he looked around him. The place was dark save for the light of a smouldering fire. NVhiIe he was thus engaged, came Rebuke, stern and cold. Seizing him by the arm, she hauled him over the coals. After this painful operation, he found himself at the base of the Ladder of Resolution. With its aid, he again reached the tgstraight and narrowf, but he found that he had another stain upon his Repu- tation. Mindful of his accident he now paid strict attention to his walking. The hill being passed at last, Average Boy came again to the Slough of Latin. He found that the foundation had risen so high in this 8 THE NORMAL place, that it was fairly good walking. He even saw a few Gems of Caesar shining through the mud. These he gathered as he passed. Before him rose the giant mountain of Ge- ometry. He tried the ascent, looking as he did so for some of the Food of Thought which he had found on the Hill of Algebra. He found only a few Problem Bushes, but in their stead he found Theorem Trees on which grew Fruits of Practical Value, large and luscious, which, when eaten with the fruit of the Problem Bush formed a food a hundred-fold more strengthening than either fruit when eaten separately. Aided by this, Average Boy soon reached the top. He now discovered that the mountain on which he stood was merely a part of the great Highland of Mathematics. Below him on the one hand he beheld the Hill of Al- gebra, now sunk in insignificance, and the knoll of Arithmetic, while on the other hand tow- ered Higher Algebra, with Giant Trig looming up in the distance. He now descended into the valley. There he found a strange city. The first buildings he saw were of rude structure, standing on poles in a lake. A group of strange looking people were swimming about in the water. On fur- ther he saw an immense pile of stones on one of which was carved in ancient writ, the single word ttMenesW Next was a massive temple be- fore which were two long rows of sphinxes, carved in distinctive Egyptian lines. Between these rows walked a stately procession of priests followed by myriads of cats. Not halt- ing to marvel at this, he hastened on, to View an immense Assyrian Palace built entirely of brick. Next to this stood a building of grace- ful Greek design, before which was gathered a crowd of idlers in Athenian costomes. Before them stood an old man. He was not goodly to look upon, but he spoke with such evident wisdom that none of the throng, many that seemed to disagree, dared to question him? ttThis must be the City of History? said Aver- age Boy, ttfor I think I have heard of this man before, as well as of the one down the street? ADVANCE 35 The last remark concerned a man, standing in a Roman Forum, surrounded by Italians of the last century B. C. 'As Average Boy ap- proached the speaker, a man taller than his auditors, but of rather weak physical makeup, said: ttVeni, vidi Vinci W Passing on, Average Boy approached a pal- ace. It was beautiful to the extreme, still a very ugly scene seemed to be taking place there. Men armed as Roman Legionaries were hurry- ing back and forth. One group on meeting another, would dash furiously into it, shouting the name of their leader. For a moment the Victor was robed in the imperial purple amid the plaudits 0 this followers, only to be slain by another hand. Then bands of tall, fair men dashed into the palace, and after a period of turmoil there appeared one man above the rest who assumed the purple amid shouts of ttCharlemagne ll, This being the outer edge of the town, Aver- age Boy found himself once more before Eng- lish Precipice. The rock had changed. On its ledges were piled emeralds which reflected the sun7s rays, making the rock shine in splen- dor. He took his time up the cliff, and by the time he reached the top he had his pockets filled with stones. The river was somewhat more dangerous than it had been at the other crossing, on former days, and he had grave doubts as to his ability to get across with such a load. He stepped in only to find that, in- stead of a hindrance, the emeralds, seemed to buoy him up. He once more found a bag tied to a tree, and on reaching home poured four more golden apples before his father. Again mine eyes beheld Average Boy setting forth, this time with a light heart. On the way he joined a group of youths, all of whom were about to try the third path. They soon made their way to the Hill of Discipline, but found it ridiculously low. The path was comfortable, and dangerous only in a few places. 36 On passing the hill, they met a kindly apu pearing gentleman named Sympathetic Teacher. 1 ttBoysjl said he, tilt is my business to remove the stumbling blocks from your path, lest ye fall, or still worse, lest ye sit down upon them and idle away your time? ttThank you, sirll answered the youths, tiVVe will heed your counsel? Yet their actions be- lied their words at the iirst opportunity, for they had gone but a short distance when a huge barrier loomed up befor them. Besides it stood a handsome young man. ccThis is the Barrier of Castef, he said. t4Un- less you enter this Glade of Society and make your way through its pleasant paths, you can never get the golden apples, for this barrier is impenetrable? t6It is a lieW cried Sympathetic Teacher;7 with my assistance you can push this barrier aside? cht is impossible,, said one of the youths, named Society Guy, but we may gain our goal easily if we follow this kind gentlemanls ad- vice and enter the Glade Societyfl ttYes, yes, let us enter W cried the rest; so the entire party entered the pleasant vale. Sympathetic Teacher was plainly distressed at this, but he determined to be faithful to his trust, and to follow. First they found them- selves in a cool spot called Class Party. They loitered here until Sympathetic Teacher had to urge them on. ttYou have now had some harmful entertain- ment, and you may even be the better for it, but you would be wise if you returned to the path now. Goose eggs are the portion of those who stay in this pleasant but deceptive dale too long? But the youth seemed infatuated with their pleasures and would hear nothing but of wandering on. They scarcely realized that they were passing over the Slough of Latin and only caught a glimpse of the pleasant house named Home of Cicero. Sympathetic Teacher plead with them continually to return THE NORMAL ADVANCE to the path, but they would hear none of it. They merely skirted the base of the mountain of Higher Algebra, and passed through to the more modern part of the City of History, on pleasant boulevards, which however ran at the back of the house so that they got a very poor idea of the appearance of the place. They found the English Precipice to glow like a iiame because of the rubies lodged upon it. There was a private path, however, from the Glade of Society to the summit along which they walked without exertion, but Average Boy noticed that none of the gems of the Literature were to be found there. Indeed, he saw that they were only to be had in the more difficult places. At the right of the River of Examina- tion they all began to tremble. ttSee to what a pretty pass your advice has brought usft said Average Boy to Society Guy. gtWe have followed your advice and have not heeded the words of Sympathetic Teacher. Now we have none of the fruits of Mountain of Higher Algebra to strengthen our weary limbs, nor the gems which we might have gathered along the way to buoy us up as we attempt to cross the river. ttBostt said Sympathetic Teacher, cthad you followed my advice you would not be in this predicament. But now that you are in trouble I will not desert you. Take as many of these gems which I have saved up as you canfl Then began a hasty cramming. Soon the boys essayed to cross the stream. Then only did they realize their true situation. One by one they floated down stream until only Aver- age Boy was left. He almost reached the bank, and had the golden apples in sight when he gave way. A lucky accident saved him however, for he struck the rock of Past Ap- plication and made the shore in safety. Once more he took the bag from the tree, and hur- ried home to Proud Parent. Again at dawn I saw the youthful traveler setting out. His manner and carriage all said plainly as words: ttLast Trip W THE NORMAL ADVANCE 37 He was jaunty and carefree but seemed anxious to finish his task. He passed quickly into the wilderness of High School at a place where the Hill of Discipline was a mere knoll. There were only a few deep grottos at the side of the wide path. He had reached the top of the rise and was admiring the beautiful place of Virgil below, when he saw coming toward him a beautiful bird of great size which seemed to be domestic. This birdts name was Love. Although he had never seen this bird before, Average Boy recognized it immediately for, while he had never seen it .before he had seen its picture delicately engraved on many of the gems at the English Precipice. He had also heard many tales of heroes who had seized the bird by main force, and had it serve them. In imitation of these he grabbed at it, but to his amazement found himself bound hand and foot. He wished earnestly to return to the path and strove to break his bonds, but he was power- less to do so. ttConie with me,, said Love, ttto my bower, where you may rest without worries. He felt himself in the power of one stronger than he; so he ceased to struggle, and allowed himself to be borne away on the wings of Love. At last he found himself by a clear and pleasant fountain. His inanacles were no longer irk- some but pleasant. In fact he felt himself coming to enjoy his captivity. He lost all reckoning of the time and forgot his journey. Late in the day came Sympathetic Teacher. When he saw Average Boy in the bonds of Love he bade him look in the Fountain of Truth. The youth looked in the fountain and saw things as they really were. Instead of be- ing chained in iron to a beautiful bird he be- held himself fastened to a puppy, by the Threads of his own Desire. This sight s0 angered him that he broke his bonds and east Love behind him. Then facing Sympathetic Teacher he begged him to tell how he might find the Highway of Education once more. On being informed in which direc- tion to go, Average Boy set out at a run. It i , was quite late when he saw once more the Palace of Virgil. He did not have time to pass along its halls and to carefully inspect its treasures as he wished to do, instead he dashed madly through wrenching a jewel from its place here and there. Again he approached the City of History. This time he passed through the English quar- ter. He had no time in which to make careful observations. Only a glance here and there could be spared. He took just a look at Alfred the Great, just a glimpse of Edward the I and Henry the VIII, and then he was off for Par- liament, where he saw only Pitt, Peel and Burke before he had passed the City and was hastily preserving fruit called Results of Tests in a bag. Then he hurried on, saying: ctNow must I pay dearly for my folly, by failing to get the last bunch of apples. I must now leave the Forest of Physics with only a portion of the fruit I should have. He then found himself at the base of English Precipiee. The great Cliff shown resplendent in the last rays of the sun. The diamonds ledged upon it, formed a thousand rainbows. Up the ascent struggled Average Boy, gather- ing as many of the diamonds as he could. With every ellort he breathed a curse on Love and his own weakness. At last, after much toil he gained the summit. The sun was just sinking, but he was too tired to attempt the crossing, so he lay down to rest, and he ttbitterly thought of the morrow? ttNowf7 thought he, ttI have wasted all this time, only to fail in the end. I shall be dis- graced forever. Labor Agent will laugh me to scorn when I turn once more down the Path of Manual Labor and all this because of Love, and Puppy Love at that! O Wroe! Woe P7 While he thus bewailed his fate Sympathetic Teacher overtook him once more. ttVVhy have you haltedW asked he, ttIt is a1 most dark, the river is rising fast, and your gems are rolling down the bank. Make haste 01' you will surely fail lit All that Sympathetic Teacher said was true. 38 It was almost dark, the river was rising at a rapid rate and the jewels Which he had placed in his pockets 'Were, consequently, easy to jar out. Thanking Sympathetic Teacher for his advice, Average Boy plunged into the stream. He struggled and panted furiously, but it seemed that he must fail. The opposite bank had been inundated by the rapid rise so, since it was now quite dark, he could not tell When he was across. At last, something struck his head. He took hold of the Object and, sup porting himself on it began to investigate. He found two bags tied to a limb. Then he was in a quandary as to Which to take. ttI should take the one to the left;7 said he, ttfor it is nearest to my hearteBut no! I have finished With sentiment, I shall take the other, and-why it is made of sheepskin Pl THE NORMAL ADVANCE This decided the issue. He took the sheep- skin bag and went his way.

We refer, of course, to the new Vocational Educational Building, which is soon to become a reality. The Board of Trusteesiheld its monthly meeting on Thursday, November the fifth. It was at this meeting that the Board awarded contracts for the construction of the new Voca- tional Education Building. The contracts as awarded amount to about $85,000. This in- cludes only the construction of the building and not the equipment and other ineidentals which will probably bring the total to about $110,000. The general contract was awarded to the Bedford Stone and Construction Company of Indianapolis. It is expected that work will begin immediately and that the building will be pushed rapidly to completion in order that it will be equipped and ready for occupancy by the opening of the school year in 1915. An announcement like this ought to spread joy to the hearts of every student in school. Do you not think so? THE LECTURE COURSE. It is safe to say, that in the judgment of all those who are attendingythe lectures of Dr. Edward Howard Griggs, the course is 'an un- qualified success. It is just as much to the point to say that those who are neglecting this splendid opportunity for education in its truest sense are not alive to the means by which this is to be secured. It is time that we arouse our- selves t0 the fact that the very best part of an education is derived not from the curriculum, but from contact with our really great teachers, men who are what we desire to be. When an inspiring teacher comes to us to give us the best of his life-long study and self-culture7 the opportunity is not to be despised. Such'a teacher is Mr. Griggs. The nature of his work has been better explained to you than we can hope to do it. Come and get the true conception of education and life as shown by Mr. Griggs to revolve upon the four great pivots of love, work, culture, and religion. The time-honored, hoary excuse, having no time, is so flat and insipid it nauseates one even to mention it. We have still to see the student who will omit a party, dance, or ttmovie fea- tureli on that plea. Be honest with yourself, and if you love yourself, treat yourself to a lec- ture on Monday evening. All we ask of you is to come once, and if that is not sufiicient to make you regular in attendance we are ttneither prophets nor the sons of prophets? Have you ever taken time to notice a certain class of people in attendance at this school, who seemingly take a pride in never knowing any- thing about the different school activities, the 4O THE NORMAL ADVANCE type that ttnever care for chapelfl that ctreally didnt know there was a lecture course? that ttconsider Y. M. or Y. XV. a bore; and whose understanding it was, that the Normal athletic teams always lost? There is, we are sorry to say, such a class of people in this school. This same class is also ever kicking about what a 4tdeadl, place Normal is. What is your candid opinion of an individ- ual who is willing to attend a school for its professional advantages but is too exclusive to associate with the rest of the student body? We withhold our opinion. There is in this issue of the ADVANCE, an eX- ceptionally good and interesting article en- titled gtThe Adventures of Average Boy in the Wilderness of High School? It is an allegory written by lVayne Newton, of the Training High School, on June 1, 1914, when he was finishing his Sophomore year. It is of such a grade that we consider it worthy iof honorable mention. If you have been in the habit of never reading any of the prepared articles of the paper, break that habit at least for this once, and you will, without doubt, be amply repaid for your time. So far this year the students of the High School have been furnishing practically all of the material for the paper in the line of pre- pared articles. We have no objection whatever ttVVho overCOmes by force, hath Milton. .but half his foe? to theseiarticles, and we even suspect that they are much better than many in this school could produce, but we would like to have some articles contributed from our own student body of such quality that they might also be published. If we were to label this, we would call it a gentle hint. CHAPEL TALKS. We have been having during this term what, in our humble opinion, we consider some very interesting chapel talks. We refer to those talks given by certain members of the faculty concerning some experiences encountered and impressions gathered while they were enjoying their vacations. We cannot understand why these professors thought it necessary to apologize for these talks. It is far better to tell about something that is really interesting and that actually happened than to take up the time of an audience read- ing an exciting Climax from the dictionary or something equally captivating. Please remember that you are only doing your moral duty when you trade with our ad- vertisers. There is no student in school who is not at some time called upon to buy some- thing. Then why not buy it of one of our ad- vertisers. It costs no more, and will be of the best grade; moreover you are serving the best interests of the paper. overcome THE NORMAL ADVANCE 41 gtbletius ROM all indications, old I. S. N. S. is in for a banner year in Athletics. The cider- meet held Friday eveninor, Nov. 6, at Parsons Field was only a beginner for the season. WVhile the score was rather one-sided, it did not have a dampening effect on the spirits of the devoted few out to witness the events. In the half-mile run, there were three en- tries, Shannon, C. C., Stiffler, N. Senior, and Carpenter, N. Senior. Shannon came first, then Stiffler, and third Carpenter. Time, 22915. Next came the hundred yard dash and this proved a little more exciting with four entries, Blake, C. C., Leech, N. Senior, Robinson, lT. Junior and Blakesley, N. Soph. Again, the College Course, with Blake as its representa- tive this time, came first, Blakesley second, and Robinson third. Time: 10.3. There were four entries for the broad jump, Hoggatt, N. Soph., French, N. Junior, Clay- ton, N. Senior, and Campbell, C. C. It was won by Campbell, with Clayton second, and Hoggatt third. Distance, 9 feet 5V2 inches. Campbell also won the shot put with a mark of 40 feet 5V; inches7 Clayton, N. Senior, second and Knauth, C. C. third. Stiffler, N. Senior, also entered. For the 220 yard dash, there were four en- tries, Leech, N. Senior, Robinson, N. Junior, Blake, C. C., and Munroe, N. Soph. To put it short and quick, Blake simply ran off from the others. Leech came second, Robinson third. Time: 24: seconds. In the discus-hurl, Knauth, C. 0., came first, Campbell, C. 0, second, and Clayton, N. Senior third. Distance, 93 feet 5 inches. For the running high jump there were more entries than for any of the other events. Hen- derson, Campbell, and Knauth for the College Course, Leech N. Senior with Blakesley and Hoggatt representing the Sophomores. Camp- bell won it with Knauth and Blakesley tied for second honors. Height, 5 feet 2 inches. There were just two teams entered for the mile relay, one for the College Course men, and the other for the Normal Course. It was won easily by the College Course in 4:12. The totals for the various clases were: Col- lege Course, 46; Normal Seniors, 15; Sopho- mores, 8 and J uniors, 2. Only one thing was lacking to make the ttmeeth a most successful affair and that was-sp-eetators. While the fact that it was held on Friday afternoon and so interfered with c4pathetic discussions, and laboratory work kept several away, yet there was not nearly enough of a representation from the student body. This is an inter-class affair and every one who can possibly do so should attend. It will help students to get ac- quainted with the schools athletics and unless you are acquainted with them, the various athletic affairs are not nearly so interesting. In the meet, Campbell and Blake were the stars as can be seen from the scores. Campbell is an all-around man and along with him should be mentioned Knauth, Clayton and Stiffler. Blake certainly gave a line exhibition of high elass sprinting and judging from the way he left the others, he is in a class by himself along his line. Shannon and Blakesley are younger men who give great promise. But the Normal Courses certainly do need to come across with that keg, for the College Course done got the big end of the score and gone with it. Let,s all hope they hurry up with it. . The basketball season will be open soon. Basketball material is certainly plentiful this year and there is no reason why Normal should not have a winning team. There are the old 42 THE NORMAL ADVANCE men, ttStifff ttHienief ttMidgett, Schenek, c4Runt,7 Boyer and SW-anagan. Also ttHapt, WVann will be out soon to work out With the squad. Then there is Shriner, Leech, Burnett, Blakesley, Mark, Lockwood, Clayton, Shaw and Hoggatt. We have the material for three teams and we certainly ought to be able to get one good, winning team from it. All they lack is support from the students. Letts all help them out on the inter-Class games Which Will start soon, probably on Friday, NOV. 13, then Nov. 18th with a possible game on the 17th, and the finals on the 20th. These games are be- tween the four classes and the 64little mentt of last yearis squad are not allowed on any of the four teams. While this excludes quite a lot of good material, yet there is enough left to make the games interesting. Admission to these games will .be by Athletic Association tickets, single admission, 15 cents. Letts have a good showing. Let the class organize, dig up class yells and come out in bodies to support the teams. i Varsity schedule so far includes Merom, Dec. 4; DanViHe, Dec. 11, and Alumni, Dec. 18, and probably Middletown Independents the 17th. These are mostly Normal Alumni, Who are teaching in that Vicinity. Ad: Good Concrete Mixer, sorely in need of work. Apply, R. Schenck.

THE NORMtAL ADVANCE 43 literary QBrganigatinns OIBATOBIOAL LEAGUE. HE members of the Oratorical League have been busy selling tickets for the Edward Howard Griggs lectures, and it is hoped that their efforts will have helped to make the course a success. A social committee has been appointed for the league, consisting of Miss Wilson, Miss Taylor and Mr. Mercker. Watch out for a big entertainment. ALETHENAI. A very interesting meeting was held Novena- her 6. The program consisted of current events by Miss VVOOd; a biography of the life of Edith Wharton by Miss McDonald, and a re- view of ttThe House of Mirth? by Misses Golay and J ones. Music was furnished by Miss Riner. The Misses Zelpha Burkett and Ruth Harris, of West Terre Haute, and Edith Provines, Clinton, were visitors of the society, Nov. 6. UIUEBONIANS. The Ciceronians have settled down to regular work as is indicated by the debates given each week. The Society is unfortunate as yet in not having the full membership and in losing Dunagan, who has accepted a Civil Service position. The best wishes for his success go with him, However, the spirit and determina- tion among the members to retrieve lost honors, is remarkable and one thing is certain, the 0p- position will have to put up a strong team if they carry 011? the laurels this year. While there has been no hurry it is to be hoped that the regular number will soon be secured in order that the wcrk may be more enjoyable and move more smoothly. The new men, Frushour, Buckles and Nees are showing up well in de- bates so far, while the older men are getting well back in form. DAEDALIAN. The middle of Fall term finds the Daeda- lians in fine spirits and doing excellent work. So far, the work of the society has been chiefly debating with one period of each meeting given to parliamentary drill. The debates have been very interesting and the members of the so- ciety have proved themselves to be real Daeda- lians by their careful preparation. The ques- tions for debates have been: 44Resolved, that the U. S. Government should adopt a law providing for ship subsidy to pro- mote the building of a deep sea merchant marine? Resolved, that the present Demo- cratic administration has justified its election? and ttResoived, that the Democratic administra- tion was justified in passing the new tariff law? The society has been challenged by their old rivals, the Ciceronians, and, the challenge has been unanimously accepted. At the last meeting, the society elected to membership, Mr. Lockwood. This makes the total membership nine. The society is not growing rapidly in number, but they are striv- ing to make quality, not quantity, their charac- teristic'. . t On Friday evening, October the thirtieth, the Daedalian Cooperative Society held its fourth annual banquet and business meeting. The meeting was held at Indianapolis during the State Teachers? Association. Those pres- ent were: L. C. Campbell, R. J. Reese, H. E. Childress, T. C. Parker, G. Ray Sharp, Otto V Lidikay, W. W. WTright, R. W. Hyndnian, Glenn Curtis, H. F. Carmichael, A. E. Logan, 44 THE NORMAL ADVANCE Carl N. Miller, Nelson Van Cleave, Hale Pickett, Fred Shannon, B. O. VVeils and J. WV. liloreland. The officers elected for the coming year were: President, T. C. Parker, of Newport, and Sec- retary-Treasurer, G. Ray Sharp, of Lafayette. EOLEOTIO. The membership of the Eclectic Literary Soe ciety in following out their plans for the term, have given three interesting programs. The hrst dealt with the life of Dunbar. Miss Ernest gave an interesting account of his life, and TVIiss Steepieton gave two readings from his poems which were much appreciated. The next author taken up was Kipling. A discussion of his life and works was given by Miss Dunn, after which Bliss Grey gave one of his, thust So Stories? At the last meeting a study Of the life and works of Tolstoi was given briefly, but on ac- count of the many interesting things to be studied it was decided to hold the discussion over for two meetings. On the evening of October 30, the society, in response to Miss Steepeitons invitation, went to the Outland farm, where a delightful even- ing was spent. The main feature of the even- ing was the toasting of marshmellows and roasting of wienies over a large bon-fire in the orchard. The members present were: Misses Gustin, Steepeiton, Overpeck, Maehling, Tay- lor, Maize Elliott, Slinkard, Sage, Ernest, Beaver and Gertrude Elliott. THE FORUZLI. The society has been doing excellent work during the past month. The meetings have shown very much enthusiasm, while the work of the individual members has been unexceiled. On Friday evening, Oct. 30, the Alumni members of the Forum gave their annual dance at Indianapolis in Odeon Hall. Andrew Mercker represented the members who are now in school. At this meeting J ames Mackell was elected president, and Guy Johnson, secretary- treasurer for the coming year. ctBunny77 Glenn D. Brown, a former Indiana University student, has been elected to mem- bership of the society. At this writing the Forum is putting forth its efforts in preparing for the fiGood Luck Dance:7 which is to be given at the Phoenix Club, Friday, Nov. 13. This is the first social affair of this kind ever given by the society. About forty invitations have been sent out to friends. PHILOMATHEAN. At the meeting held October twenty-third, Miss Hilda Hathaway reviewed most enter- taingly, ccThe Egoistii and Miss Hazel Scha- per discussed the life of Meredith. On October thirty-first, Miss Marjorie Guppy told the story of ttDiana of the Crossways, followed by a general review of Merediths works by Miss Lois Shirley. On November seventh, the attention of the members was turned to De Morgan, and Miss Norma Wilson gave the story of his ttAlice- F or-Short,77 in a very interesting manner. The Philomatheans are well pleased with the work that has been done, and the interest shown. Miss Lela Stephens has been recently taken into the society. THE TBOJANS. The Trojans began the year with a rush. A meeting was called the first day of the term, and the following members answered the first roll call: J. R. Shannon, P. W. Merchant, George Cromwell, Fred Strickler, V. R. Gunn, L. L. Standley, C. E. Riehl and C. M. French. The plans of the year were made and a strenu- ous program was arranged for the terms work. Since then the following new members have been taken into the society: N. B. Henson, M. F. Perry, G. T. Tranbarger, Bert Leech and J ohn Henderson. The Trojans were organized during the THE NORMAL ADVANCE 45 spring term of 1914, and each member is doing the work that comes from the efforts of earnest and active workers. Meetings are held each week of the term, at Which the current ques- tions of the day are discussed and debated. The Trojans are doing their utmost to act in harmony With the general attitude of the school, and are trying to boost I. S. N. In this capacity they stand on the same plane with the other societies of the school. They have challenged the Ciceronianks to debate the Inter-state question. DER DEUTOHE VEREIN. The Deutsche Verein whose purpose it is to help its members to a higher appreciation of the German language and country, has again The feature of the tlrst meeting was a Victrola Concert of German resumed its work. Singers. At the second meeting, election was held and Margaret Gillum was made president. The third W'ednesday afternoon was spent in a social hour, in which all the members heartily joined in singing the favorite German songs. At the last meeting Prof. Muttever gave an in- teresting illustrated lecture on German Cities. All the sessions have been well attended and a very successful year is anticipated as the Deutsche Verein cordially welcomes all Normal students interested in any phase of German ac- tivity. ccNor florid prose, nor honied lies of rhyme, Can blazon evil deeds, 01' consecrate a crime? -L07'd B 3150071. u 46 THE NORMAL ADVANCE 0513:: Women? league HE leaders of the various sections who serve as a connecting link between the sororities and the VVomenls League held a busi- ness meeting in the Dean of Women,s office and Miss Louise Gillum was chosen as president of the League. This League consists of all the Sections in school of which nine are now active, namely: Alpha, Athleta, Kappa Kappa, Gamma Gam- ma, Epsilon Deltas, Llamarada, Omega, Mu Zeta and Psi Theta. These sections of the Woman, League, commonly termed sororities, are ctdoings thingsh this term and all have large memberships. It is the purpose of the Womanls League to make college life more pleasant for the young women of the institution. During each term two or three sections enter- tain all the ladies of the school. It is hoped that some social function of this sort may be held before this fall term expires. ATHLETA. The members of the Athleta sorority held the initiation of the new girls at the home of Miss Katherine Arnold, Wednesday, Nov. 11. The home was attractively decorated in autumn leaves and Chrysanthemums.

After walking several miles north of the city, breakfast was made over a bonfire. A number of pictures were taken of the group. Plans are being made to have the initiation party the latter part of this week. PSI THETAS. The past month has been characterized by several social events very interesting and pleas- ant for the girls of the section. On October 24, the initiation party was given by Miss Hilda Zell of North Center. The house was artistically decorated in the sorority colors, pink and blue, also pink rose buds.

THE NORMAL ADVANCE 49 QEIazs QBrganigatinmz COLLEGE 00 URSE. OST noble readers, this is the way it happenedzeFirst, there appeared upon the bulletin board a large sign which read ttCider lVIeetuNoveiilber 6.73 For days the great war cloud was seen to be approaching. Proph- ecies of all shades and styles were heard above the din and roar in Normal Halls. At last the great day came. The nght was on, the soldiers did their best. At times both despair and hope was in the hearts of all. But 10, when the strife was Oter, the smoke all cleared away, the College Course heroes still held the forts. Campbell7 Blake, Knauth, and Shannon were our heroes. It was they, who won for us the sap of that forbidden fruit. But in our eX- ultations let us not forget the Normal Course for they were worthy of our steel. Yea, in- deed did their fallen braves do well to even dare to compete with the formidable College Course. Atheletics, however, is only a side issue corn- pared with the social life of the class. On Friday evening, November 6th, the College Course held their term reception in the Asso- ciation Rooms of the Normal Building. After the students and members of the faculty were introduced, a four minutes7 conversation was compulsory between each boy and girl. When the time was up all were ushered into an ad- j oining room where a motion picture outfit had been established. Two lengthy reels were given entitled, ttCourtshipsjl and ctKielnappeclft and some faculty caricatures were also shown. Several Pantomimes were given by members of the class. After the show was over, according to custom, all were taken to the ice cream parlor. But 10, like Napoleon, the College Course as a class has its enemies. The time for inter class basket-ball games is drawing near. F irst, all 4tLittle Men?7 of which the College Course boasts four have been disqualified from play- ing in these games. Next, the College Course Seniors and the. College Course Juniors and the College Course Sophmores have been joined with their respective Normal classes. Thus leaving the poor little Freshmen to hold up the dignity of the College Course. We do not hesi- tate to call this last act a ttraw deal? SENIORS. The Seniors held a business meeting VVednes- day, October 28. Some of the offices which were not filled at the first meeting were filled and committees appointed to look after the so- cial and other duties of the class. Our athletic captain urged all to come out for the ttcider meet;7 and aid not only by our presence, but by our efforts. A motion was made and carried that a social be given every two weeks; the Iirst to be held on Friday night, November 0. The social was a great event in the history of the class. That it was a success in every way can be vouched for by every member pres ent. Even some of the College Course students deserted their own social and came to ours, probably due to lack of refreshments. We refer especially to the president of oiir Y. M. C. A.

Herman Byrne Reading .................... J. C. Tranbarger Mr. Luch, Miss Zell, and Miss Shirley car- ried off the prizes in the several contests. Mr. Leechs7s announcement, that the Seniors had won second honors in the lield meet, was 50 THE NORMAL ADVANCE greeted with rounds of applause. Other classes may take warning; for this burst of enthusi- asm only shows that the Seniors still have their hat in the ring and that imbued with a spirit of class pride they will sweep things be- fore them. SOPHOJIOBES. TVednesday evening, October twenty-eight, the Sophomores held their second meeting and elected the following officers: Eugene Monroe, class captain; C. M. Burnett, basket-ball cap- tain; TVIarjorie Botts, entertainment leader; Lois Gilchrist, Lena Cook, Genevieve Minne- man, T. R. McDonald and Raymond Blakesley, social committee; Edna Barnard, member of board of control, and Marie McRoberts, class editor. In this election everyone showed the live spirit which is characteristic of the Sopho- mores. We said that we would start something, and start it we did by over one hundred of us as- sembling in the music room, November sixth7 for an evening of hilarity. The room was decorated in pink and white. After the grand march led by Mr. Swango and Miss Patterson, with Miss Smith at the piano, Miss Gilchrist, with Miss Shirling as accompanist, favored us with a Violin solo. At nine otclook Mr. Breitwieser and Miss Gill were united in marriage, by a novel mock ceremony by Mr. Brewer. Before the cere- mony, Miss Shirling played VVagnerts Wedding March. The bride entered on the arm of her father, Mr. Monroe. Miss Reynolds was the bridesmaid. Miss Minneman was the ring bearer, and Miss Cook was the flower girl. The bridegroom was attended by Mr. Newton as best man. The bridal path was strewn with Chrysanthemums. Congratulations were eX- tended by the guests. Mr. Beck took a flashlight picture of the bridal party and the guests. After the ceremony the wedding room was transformed into an athletic field. Four teams supposed to represent State Normal, Purdue, DePauw and Indiana entered into a burlesque field meet. The following were chosen as cap- tains: Mr. Burnett, State Normal; Mr. Swango, Purdue ;, Mr. White, DePauw, and Mr. Blakesley, Indiana. The first event was a standing broad grin. The broadest grin meas- ured four and one-half inches. Would it be fair to tell who won? This event caused a broad grin by all the candidates. The next event was the fifty yard dash with a potato on a yard stick. This was followed by a musical vault. The original yells of the different col- leges were given. Mr. Clayton sang several selections for us which were highly appreciated. Partners were chosen for supper and found that they were obliged to eat with forks tied together. This unique party is only one of the series that we plan to give. We will try to keep the ball rolling. Watch us I Some things are of that nature as to make Onefs fancy chuckle, while his heart doth ache. John Bunyan. THE INORMAL ADVANCE 51 3E. MEI. 6113. Q. HE more, the merrier;7 is what the girls of the Y. WV. C. A. are advocating now. If you are not already a member, you should lose no time in enrolling. Thus far the meetings have been of intense interest and the girls are trying to make each one betterethan the preceding. At each of the sessions, talks are given by some member of our faculty, or by some Citizen interested in the work and in us. Besides this there is a general discussion of the Y. W. work, and an oppor- tunity for the girls to contribute their talent in the way of music, readings, etc. Recently, the society decided to give a series of informal teas after the regular work in order to give the girls a chance to become better acquainted. This organization should be the foremost in the school and it should be supported by every girl for it is an organization, independent of all other societies, to Which every girl in the Normal has access. Aside from its original religious purpose, its aim is to bring the girls in closer contact and sympathy With each other. Certainly there is no better place to establish more fellowship among the students. The meetings are held once a week on Tues- days at 3:30 in theiafternoon, and in the asso- ciation room. As the sessions are for one hour only, every girl can easily afford to take the time to attend and especially to listen to such inspiring talks and readings as given by Rev. Mark, Professors Bacon and Lynch, and Miss Guppy. You Will be amply repaid for your time and you Will be heartily welcomed, so come and help us make the Y. W. a great success. There is this difference between happiness and Wisdom; he that thinks himself the hap- piest man really is so; but he that thinks him- self the wisest, is generally the greatest fool.- Colton.

Though we may not discuss all of our exchanges at one time, let us look at a few of them. As is natural, the pa- pers from other Normal Schools appeal to us very strongly, and we should like to have more of such on our list. One of the most attrac- tive papers, both in appearance and material, comes from the Northern Illinois State Normal School, De Kalb, Illinois. One of the pleasing thing about it is its literary department, full of clever little stories and poems by the stuu dents. tBy the way, does the poetic Muse never hover over our Indiana State Normal studentsQ The Goldenrod from the State Normal School at Wayne, Nebraska, is also an attrac- tive paper, full of enthusiasm, enlivened by two pages of cartoons, but it lacks a literary department. The Trigonian News is published bi-Weekly by the State Normal at East Los Vegas, New Mexico. It also has a good literary department with several bright little poems. The Indiana Boysa Advocate published by the boys in the Indiana Boys3 School at Plain- fielcl7 is good, presenting a clear idea of the life of the boys in that institution. It would be in- teresting to all of us to look over this paper. A publication which should be of interest to us as teachers is the Educational Press Bulletin. It is issued by the Department of Public In- struction of Illinois, to furnish the press, tax- payers, oHicers, and patrons of the public schools facts and items concerning public edu- cation. It deals with points on school law, various teachersa associations, the influence of Universities and Normals, etc. From this paper comes the following clipping: ttTHE PUBLIC SCHOOLS? ch know the public schools, and because I know them, I refuse to be disturbed by those who seek, from time to time, to alarm the nation with gloomy forebodings and dire pre- dictions. For when they tell us that danger threatens the institutions of the Republic, when they warn us that the ship of state is drifting into perilous waters, when the cynic grows faint hearted and the credulous becomes dis- couraged, I hear the bells ringing from ten thousand public schools and my heart grows warm again. i ttI see twenty million children marching into the schools that dot the hills and valleys from Maine to Mexico. I watch them conning their readers and thumbing their histories. I see them being molded into American citizens and I know that America can make no mistake which America cannot rectifyiteaov. Glynn, 0 f N . Y. in American E ducatz'on. Most of these exchanges are placed in the reading room of our Normal library and would be enjoyed by all our students. There is found The Indiana Daily Student from Indiana Uni- versity, which will be found especially interest- ing, coming as it does from a neighbor. Look over these papers and if you have any opinions on them which could be used in this column, let it be known and your ideas will be gladly re- ceived by the editor of the column.

NUMBER. 3 013132 iBazsiun iBIap of QBherammergau By ELIZABETH BUCKLEY HE Miracle Plays, a name given to drama- tized Biblical stories, grew out of the need that the Clergymen felt for making the ceremonies of the church easier to understand. At first they were used to celebrate some cere- mony7 such as the burying of the cross on Good, Friday, and the disinterring it on Easter Sun- day, and was given inside the church. But gradually more complex ceremonies were given, and greater numbers of people attended, until the plays became so popular that they could no longer be given within the church, but were given on the village green. As time passed on, plays of another nature took the place of these miracle plays, and the miracle play itself was forgotten, save that it was one of the sources from which the present day drama originated. Today the most famous production that in any way resembles the mir- acle plays is the Passion Play at Oberammer- gau. This play had its origin in 1633, when the ravages of the Black Death were sweeping Europe. Oberammergau, a little German Vil- lage of about three hundred inhabitants, be- cause of the remoteness of its location, seemed safe from the pestilence. As the disease spread, the larger Cities established a quarantine, very strict in its nature, which forbade anyone to enter or leave the city, and Oberammergau wishing to avoid all contact with danger, adopted a similar quarantine. But it happened that a peasant, whose home was in Oberammergau, but who was working in another city7 being very anxious to see his wife and children, and not knowing what the condi- tions in Oberammergau might be, managed to evade the guards and thus gained access to the city. The plague was already upon him, and in the morning he was found dead, and his death re- ported to the authorities. The disease spread rapidly and for a time it seemed as if the little city would be wiped out of existence. Every precaution to prevent the plague from spread- ing further was taken, but to no avail. At last, so the story goes, the parish priest called together his little flock and advised them to make a vow to God, that if the ravages of the plague would cease, they would in that year and every tenth year afterward, perform a Pas- sion Play. The vow was made, the plague abated, and to this day the people of Oberam- mergau consider it a sacred duty and privilege to carry out the vow they made. The preparations for the Passion Play begin about three years before its actual presentation, when the town council meet to take the vote, as to whether they shall have the Passion Play again or not. This proceeding is only a mat- ter of form, however, for it is an unheard of thing for any citizen of Oberammergau to vote against having the play. After the vote is re- ceived, a committee of the councilmen 0f the town, three men selected from the city at large, and the parish priest as an honorary member, is chosen. This committee has charge of the preparations of the play, including the scenery for the stage, hotels for the travelers, etc., and iinally the most important question of selecting THE NORMAL ADVANCE 63 the characters. The decision on this point is one of personal interest, since it conveys a per- sonal message to every home in Oberammergau, and every boy or girl may have a part in the play. Only married women are excluded. Of the characters selected from among the men, three are eagerly sought for; namely, Judas, John and The Christ, and among the women, Mary Magdalen and the Madonna. In 1900 Anton Lang was Chosen to play the part of the Christ, and because of the simple dignity with Which he impersonated his Divine Master, he was chosen again in 1910. He is a man of wonderful character, for since 1900 he has been praised and honored in every way pos- sible, but he still remains unspoiled, unchanged. His Visitors find him at work in his shop, his hands soiled With dirt, and his beard red With the pottEIJS clay. Alfred Beliinwer, the man who takes the part of the Apostle John, is so much in touch with the spirit of the play, that When he speaks his face lights up in such a manner that one almost feels that it is the Apostle himself Who is speak- ing. The part of Judas is admirably played by Albert Zwink. At first he is represented as a shrewd, careful man, very much interested in business affairs. Gradually, however, his in- terest in mercenary affairs checks his other in- terests, and after a little While he sells his Di- vine Master into captivity for a few pieces of silver. The unexpected consequences Which foie Ioweerucifixion and death-aproduce in him remorse, despair and suicide. Ottowa ZWink, the daughter of the man Who plays the part of the Judas, very aptly plays the part of the Madonna, and Marie Mays, a very talented young girl, touchingly plays the part of Mary Magdalen. The scenery of the play is very beautiful. Surrounded by the Alps it could not be other- Wise7 but in addition to this some very fine paintings are displayed, such as the house of the Roman governor, the house of Caphais and the roads leading into Jerusalem. The music was written by an Oberammergau music master, Roehus Dedler, and is in simple harmony With everything around. The Passion Play itself opens With the trium- phal entry into Jerusalem, and closes With the ascension. As the curtain rises on this first scene, men, women, and children are seen wav- ing palms and shouting ttHosanna,i as the Christ enters the city. Next follows the scene' in the temple, and here is a very difficult part for the Christ to play. One angry gesture, one hasty word would spoil the sublimity 0f the Whole occasion, but Anton Lang seems equal to it all. Slowly, he advances and pushes aside the men engaged in mercenary aifairs, his coun- tenance showing grief rather than anger. The scene of the Last Supper is also a diffi- cult one to represent. Here the prophecy is given that one of the disciples Will betray his Master, and unless the character representing Christ is of a deeply religious nature, the solemnity 0f the occasion would be lost. Next follow the scenes of the agony in the garden, the entrance of the Roman soldiers, and the conducting of the captive to the house of Pilate, the Roman governor. Here is one of the most interesting scenes of the Whole drama. Pilate regards Jesus as an innocent dreamer and Wishes to have him released. But the blood- thirsty mob Will not listen, so to satisfy them he brings forth another prisoner, Barrabas, a noted thief 0f the time. As was the custom, he asks them Which of the two prisoners they Wish to release. Astonishment is written on his face When they cry out, ttRelease Barrabasf, He tries to reason With them, but in vain, and at last he gives way, washing his hands of the ' Whole affair. Next follows the realistic scenes of the sc-ourging at the pillar, the crowning With thorns, the journey to Calvary and finally the climax of the play, the crucifixion. As the curtain rises on this scene, the cross to Which is fastened the crucified One is slowly raised. The realism is terrible. Not a ligament can be seen by Which he is supported, he seems 64 THE NORMALiADVANCE actually nailed to the cross. To all appear- ances the blood stained nails pierce both hands and feet, the crown of thorns still wound his brow and his garments are wet With the blood of scourging. All the details of the gospel are carried out in this scene. He begs his Heavenly Father to forgive the taunting crowd, saying 4Father for- give them, they know not What they do? the sponge is applied to his parched lips, even the awful mysterious words, 44My God, my God, Why hast thou forsaken me? are uttered. Fin- ally it is evident that the end is near. In a loud voice the cries out, ctFather into thy hands I commend my spirit? NOW! the head droops wearily 0n the breast, a look of unutterable patience, tenderness and love overspreads the face, all is linished. The centurion steps forward and pierces the side, and What appears to be real blood flows forth and leaves a crimson stain on His gar- ment. Then follow the scenes of the descent from the cross, the burial, the resurrection and the ascension and the Passion Play is finished. It is impossible to describe the feeling of a citizen of Oberammergau as he watches this scene of the crucifixion. Everything is reality, but reality that is beautiful and dramatic in it- self. Scenes are naturally and simply repre- sented. For instance, the actual breezes stir the mantle of the Madonna as she stands weep- ing at the foot of the cross, and the birds fly back and forth there just as perhaps they did on Calvary, blithely unconscious of human trag- edy and woe. The nature of the people has much to do With the success of this play. They are a me- diaeval people in one sense, and they cling to their religious customs. They are taught to love beauty, and reverence all that is worthy of reverence, from their earliest years. And it is due to this fact, and the fact that every boy and girl considers it the greatest honor that he can attain if he is given a part in the Passion Play, that the play has acquired world-Wide renown. Human happiness is produced, not so much by great pieces of good fortune that seldom happen, as by little advantages that occur every dayeBenjamz'n Franklin. i 41V Uln IVA SHUE'NQRMAE sihB?

That was enough to arouse my curiosity. PM just bet that old box has come and mother has put it in the attic, I thought to myself. I think I shall sneak up into the attic and take a look was my next conclusion. 4:0, yes? I said aloud, ttI know it would be nice to wait until Christmas to open 'the box, but Ilm just crazy to see what she will send me this year? Mother was busy doing the dishes so I wan- dered on into the other part of the house. Betty, my younger sister, had gone back to school, and father was reading. I had twenty minutes before school time, so why not use this time to investigate. I ran up the front stairs and then slowly crept up into the attic. I lis- tened, not a sound could I hear, and then very quietly, I opened the attic door. As I did so, my eyes fell upon a large fancy box, tied with red and green ribbons. ttIVs come, I knew it? I cried, as I danced up and down. ttOpen it? a voice from within seemed to command me. Why donlt you see what she sent you? it urged. Did I dare to do such a thing. Still surely a peep wouldnit do any harm, and besides never a soul would know. Slowly, I lifted my hands to the box, and with trembling fingers removed the ribbons. All that was left now for me to do was to lift the lid. tiGo on, it will only take a second? the same voice again whispered. So off it came and I looked straight at a large beautiful doll with golden curls and all dressed in pink. IO, isnzt she a beauty? I cried, as I took her in my arms. ttI just love pink dresses, and its silk, too,m I said as I fell to examining her. But what was that tied around her neck, a card with Bettys name on it. ttOf I gasped, as I laid the doll down and ran back to the box, to see what she had sent me. There I found a small box with a card at- tached to it7 on which was written, ttFor Ma- rionf, Quickly I opened the box and a bracelet rolled out. ttO, I hate bracelets, and I wont have itW I exclaimed. C4I d0n7t care if Betty is younger than I, I just love dolls, and this one shall be mine? I cried, as I once more took the bundle of fluffy pink in my arms. th know; I shall change the cards and give Betty the bracelet? I said, as I rapidly tore the cards from the two gifts. After I had hurriedly made the change I put the gifts back into the box. ciMarionf called mother, tthurry'or you are going to be late for school? ttYes, mother, Pm comingf I said as I closed the attic door and ran down the stairs. That evening Betty asked mother about the box, saying that she thought it strange, that it did not come. I, too, joined in the conversa- tion, for mother would have thought it strange if I had not done so. I could not sleep after I had gone to bed7 for thinking of what I had done; Suddenly, I heard mother close the attic door and I knew 66 THE NORMAL ADVANCE that she had the box. I waited for her to go downstairs, and then softly crept t0 the landing and listened. In a few minutes this is What I heard. c4Lets change the cards? suggested mother to father. tIMarion is getting too old for dolls, and little Betty Will be terribly disappointed? ttI think it would be betterjt readily agreed father. A lump rose in my throat. I swallowed hard and then I felt relieved, for surely now no one would ever know.

THE NORMAL ADVANCE 6'7 iBussezsiun mbtuugb Zinhihihual labor H AVE you ever been aware of the fact that you appreciated some of your possessions or some experiences a great deal more than . others of an equal value'intrinsically and ed11- oationally? It is apparent that it is a charac- teristic of the human individual that he appre- ciates more fully anything that he obtained through his own eiforts. Take a business man who has begun on the lowest rung of the ladder and step by step has reached the culmination of his desires, a suc- cessful business career. He will never tire of expounding concerning his efforts, and will not as a natural thing conceal his admiration and happiness of his attaining his purpose of life. It has indeed been a joy to see his lifework based upon a small foundation or beginning, and then through his untiring eRorts, care, and endeavors to expand and grow into something valuable and worth while. The same thing is true of a man or woman who overcomes many and great difficulties in obtaining an education. He will appreciate it to his highest ability of appreciation for it has been-his aim and about this aim he has centered his thought, his future happiness and welfare. It is true nevertheless, that we enjoy things that are given to us as gifts or by right of birth, but on the other hand we realize in a higher sense the satisfaction and the beneficial develop- ment of valuable things, when we expend effort to obtain them. Another illustration of this same thought is found in 17th chapter of J oshua. The children of Joseph said to Joshua, 4cVV'hy hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people for as much as the Lord hath blessed me hithertoW Joshua had told Ephraim and Manasseh, the oifspring of Joseph, that they should be great; but they now have but one lot. Why was this when they were great? Their company had increased greatly in numbers and thus they found the territory which they had inherited was not suflicient to afford them a livelihood. They were in need of advice concerning their welfare and Joshua said, ttIf thou be a great people, then get thee up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if Mount Ephriam be too narrow for thee? Joshua certainly spoke wisdom to these people, for if they wished greater possessions they should set about their labors in order to attain their desired end. There was no necessity for them to delay for a better opportunity in order that some other tribe might precede them and overcome the dif- ficulties, thus making the way easy for them. They were capable of fighting their own battles. Thus it was possible for them to attain and ap- preciate the result of their labor. The conquest of this tribe might be compared to that of the individual. Many persons in the world are content to obtain their living from the possessions of others. These people are not capable of working out their own salvation, and might be considered as parasites for they do not contribute anything to society, and the world is not bettered by their existence. Our advancement and our betterment lies within ourselves. We possess a capacity for ac- complishing certain things in life ,and our sal- vation and advancement is determined by our exercise of this gift or capacity. tcThe easy path in the lowland hath little of ground or new, But a toilsome ascent leads on to a wide and glorious view; Peopled and warm is the valley, lonely and chill the height; But the peak that is nearer the storm cloud is nearer the stars of nightit 68 THE NORMAL ADVANCE wranglatiung from 39mm? 493125 I, 9.

OUR 1915 ANNUAL. S is usual the ADVANCE staff Will edit, dur- ing the coming months, a Year Book or Annual, which it Will endeavor to make in as much as is possible, a full and complete history of the years activities in the school. The ADVANCE staff hopes to have this edition ready for distribution by the first week in May. If this is possible, it Will be the earliest date on record in this school, at which such an edition has been put in circulation. And why should not the Annual be in the hands of every one by this date rather than the last week of school When every one is too rushed to enjoy it? There is but one thing that can keep the book from being out by this time, and if every one Will observe the following rules, there Will be no cause for fear but that it Will be in Circulation by this time. First: Everyone must feel entirely free to ask any member of the staif for information at any time. Second: All pictures are to be made at the studio of any photographer Who advertises in the ADVANCE. All pictures to have a dark background. All pictures to be made full cabinet size. Third: All classes should see the business manager, Mr. Henry Knauth, as early as pos- sible, and contract for the amount of write-up space, and number of cuts which Will be desired. tNotey. The officers for each term should have their pictures inserted and the class as a Whole should have its picture taken and inserted. Fourth: A11 literary societies and sororities should see the business manager and contract for write-up space, number of cuts, and number of copies of the Annual wanted. tGroup pic- tures are better in appearance and are more ' economicalj The most important feature is promptness. Get together and have your pictures taken as soon as possible. tNoteQ A11 graduating Seniors receive in- structions under separate heading. 0 FATAL DAY! On Monday, November the twenty-third, in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and fourteen, a terrible calamity Visited the Indiana State Normal, a calamity Which was disas- trous and withering in its results. This sur- mounting disaster crept upon us like a thief in the night, so to speak, and although warn- ings had been sounded many times, yet many unfortunate students were caught entirely un- prepared for such a mishap. The one consoling thought left to the many onlookers is that something like five out of every seven students in school escaped. This large number saved, is due largely to the un- tiring efforts of the faculty, and to them our grateful thanks is herewith tendered. 72 THE NORMAL ADVANCE mm The catastrophe, as every one will recall, oc- curred about nine oblock, and those students whose lives were saved owe it to the fact that an instructive fire drill had just been given, which carried them all out of the burning building into the cool safety of the street and the campus. Those who were ttlostf 4tkilledf or ttmaimedi, should take notice, and hereafter be at Chapel. Y. .W. 0. A. The Y. W. C.

Those Seniors who care to do so may now have their pictures taken for the Annual. The following are the directionszev Have them made at the studio of any pho- tographer who advertises in this paper. Have a dark background. Have picture made full cabinet size. For the ADVANCE secure one glossy finished unmounted print. Hand in the print together with your name, home address, and any other information you may desire to be printed with it, written plainly on a separate piece of paper. tNote. When these directions are written on the back, the print is often spoiledJ If you wish to show up well in the Annual follow directions carefully. NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS. This is the picture of your friend and fel- low student, Mr. Walter Shriner. Mr. Shriner is the circulation manager of the ADVANCE, and realizing the difficulty of many persons in not knowing who or what Mr. Shriner might look like, we thought it advisable to print his pic- ture so that everyone might see it and be able to distinguish him. Mr. Shriner is ready at all times to receive any unpaid subscriptions. Please pay at once. Be prompt. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE. We wish to state to the subscribers of the ADVANCE, one and all, that no advertisement is- a received by us from any time that is not en- tirely reliable, and whose goods are not entirely reliable. It is the policy of the ADVANCE to know, before it accepts the advertisement of any firm, the quality of the goods which that hrm has for sale.

THE NORMAL ADVANCE '73 3m memoriam Universal sorrow was expressed throughout the city of Elwood, Indiana, 011 November the sixth, when the news spread that Miss Josie Dipboye, a former student of I. S. N., had died at the home of her parents, Rev. and Mrs. John W. Dipboye, of that city. Several months ago her health began to fail and in April she underwent an operation at Bluffton. For a time it was thought that this had proved successful, and she returned to E1- wood' where she spent the summer at home seeming gradually to regain her strength. How- ever; only a few days ago her condition be- came suddenly worse. Peritonitis developed and despite the efforts made to save her7 the bright and beautiful life came to a close. Miss Dipboye, who died at the age of twenty- one years, had spent practically her entire life at Elwood. After passing through the grade and high schools there she came here to school. On her return to Elwood she taught at the Coon Valley school five miles south of the city. It was about the time of the closing of school that, her health began to fail, and the opera- tion followed in April. Miss Dipboye is well remembered by many Normal students and her loss is deeply felt. Funeral services were held at the home at two oaclock on Monday, November the ninth. gtbletiw Yea, Normal! Yea, Normal! N-O-R-M-A-L, Normal! WITH the opening of the 1914-15 Basket- ball season the 01d, triumphant yells are again heard about old I. S. N. The inter- class games have been in the lime-light for the past few weeks and a very interesting situa- tion has developed. In the semi-finals 0f the series on Wednesday evening, Dec. 2, the J un- iors and Normal Sophomores won from the College Sophs and Seniors. This result left the Normal Sophs and Juniors tied for honors and the deciding game was played Wednesday evening, December 9. The Juniors won by a score of 28-23. During these class games, Ceach Westphal has been watching each player carefully, get- ting ready to pick his regular squad, and it has been no easy task to pick the twelve best out of perhaps twenty-Five that were playing in extra good form. After the work-out last Tuesday evening, the five ttN. Men,9 of last years team met in Coach Westphalis Office and elected a captain for this years team. The honor was accorded to H. L. Wann. tThis is entirely too dignified except in print. Just make it 4cHapU a senior and a guard on the team last year. ttHapi, is known and liked by every one and should make a successful leader for the squad and his selection should help to make the tcblue and whitei, squad stronger. Another move which meets the approval of every one and is another indication of the spirit which is hovering around old Normal is the ttpeaee paeti, with Rose Poly. As perhaps every one knows, athletic relations between Normal and Poly were broken off a few years ago be- 74 THE NORMAL ADVANCE cause of hostile feeling existing between the students of the two schools. But it seems that this feeling of antagonism has disappeared and we hope that it is gone forever. Credit must be given to Rose for taking the initiative in this action, but the enthusiasm shown by. c4N0rmalitesl, when the proposition was put to them7 shows that we are not lacking in the least in sportsmanship. The move also has the approval of some of the faculty as was evi- denced by the talks of Professors VVestphal, Breitweiser and Sandison at the mass meeting. The resumption of athletic relations will be of advantage to both schools, and, particularly, in a financial way. This also assures two more strong games to the already hard schedule. I. U. has asked for a date, but the terms offered by the management of the I. U. team were such that we could not afford to make the trip with- out iinancial loss. The schedule as arranged by Manager Koch is as follows: Dee. 4wMerom at Terre Haute. Dee. llsCentral Normal at Terre Haute. Dec. 17wMiddletown Independents at Terre Haute. ' De'e. 18-1. S. N. S. Alumni at Terre Haute. J an. 15eEarlha1n at Terre Haute. J an. QQsFranklin at Terre Haute. Feb. IQeEarlham at Richmond. Feb. QO-Butler at Indianapolis. Feb. QGeFranklin at Franklin. March 5eButler at Terre Haute. Two games will be played with Wabash but the dates have not been determined. Two of the games on the schedule have al- ready been played and in each case I. S. N. was victorious by a safe score. The Indiana State Normal basket-ball team succeeded in defeating the Merom College team Dec. 4, in the lirst game of the season 57 t0 7. The Merom players were considerably lighter than the Normal men, and although they played with determination they were not able to overcome the weight and fast passing of the Normal five. The downstate team registered only one iield goal during the game; the other points came by the foul goal route. Normal, notwithstanding the fact that this was the first game of the year put up a splen- did article ofball. The boys were a little slow in getting their stride, especially as several new players were in the lineup during the lirst pe- riod, but when the nerirousness had worn off the goals began to come fast. Near the end of the iirst period Leech was sent in to replace Swanigan at forward. Shriner proved to be the big point getter during the early part of'the fracas, registering six field goals and one foul marker. Knauth waded in with two and Leech and Swanigan dropped. one each through the netting. French made the lone field goal for the Visitors during this period, and H. Mahan added three more points to his teanfs score by foul goals. The score stood 21 to 5 when time was called. At the beginning of the second half Coach VVestphal sent in his regulars. Knauth and Schenek played the forward positions, Boyer and Wann went to guard, and Stiffler took his accustomed place at Center. During this half pretty passwork was in evidence, with the re- sult that 36 more points were added to the Normal score. Stiffler played a stellar game at the pivot position, and registered 10 field goals. Knauth added three more, and Boyer and Sehenek made one each. The Merorn team made only two points during this half, and these were by foul goals. For the Visitors H.

Playing a whirlwind game of basketball with pretty passing and accurate goal shooting the Normal basketball team succeeded in handing the short end of a 41 to 18 score to the Middle- town Independents Dec. 5 at Middletown. The Middletown aggregation is made up of old time Normal players. Coach Westphalls band was expecting a hard battle, and, in fact, the game was a good one from the standpoint of fast playing, and al- though the Middletown five lost by almost a double score, this does not indicate by any means the article of ball that they displayed. In Knox and Fenton at forwards and Williams at guard they have as fast a combination as there is anywhere in this section of the state, and the work of these three was exceedingly good. For the Normal quintet, Schenck and Royer played a stellar game. Schenck suc- ceeded in dropping in siX lield goals, most of which were of the sensational variety. Knauth also made several pretty shots. Royer guarded his man like a veteran and his passing was good. The Middletown team will play a return game with the Normal team Dec. 18, and a good game is expected. The summary : Middletown usy I. S. N. S. OLD Knox ................ F ............

In the second half, when Stiffler came in the Merom fellows looked frightened. Some enthusiastic fan, presumably 0f the fairer sex, called, ttDonlt be afraid. Stiff donat bite? Query: ccHow-ye-know W Something appeared to attract ttHeinielsll aim from the basket. Wonder what it was. ttSchenckiell and ttHap7t certainly pulled a few fast ones when they came in. It wasnlt all ttgrand-stand7l either. Our newly elected yell-leader, ttThe Right- Honorablet, Vic. Utterback, seemed to be the least bit ttshylt in performing before the fair ttfans? At least we suppose that was it. For all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these: ttIt might have been?

A biographical sketch, current events, The Re- cessional, and two readings were given. In place of the regular work November 21, a Thanksgiving program was arranged. Cur- rent events and music were included with uThe First Thanksgiving;7 and a Thanksgiving story. The society was entertained at 414 North Center Street December 2, with a picnic supe per. -A very enjoyable evening was spent. UIOERONIONS. The Ciceronians have settled down to work in grim earnestness. They have challenged their old rivals, the Daedalians, to debate the Inter- state question, and the challenge has been ac- cepted. The debate should be very interesting this year, and at the same time very beneficial, because all three members of the team will be men who have had no experience on inter- society or inter-state teams before. V The society received quite a blow by the re- signation of Mr. LaFollette, caused by very heavy work. The good will and hearty friend- ship of every member of the society goes with Mr. LaFollette, and when work is not pressing so heavily, we hope to have him back with us, for his inspiration and enthusiasm in the work was very helpful. To make up to a certain extent for Mr. La- F ollettels loss, the society has taken in Mr. Everett Rasor. Mr. Rasor comes from War- saw and has had quite a little experience in High School debating. The other new meme bers taken in as well as the older experienced men are getting in form rapidly. DAEDALIAN. The Daedalians are having their usual ens thusiasm and interest manifested at their regu- lar weekly meetings. At the meeting on No- Veniber 20, they had a very interesting debate: tiResolved, that the Democratic Currency Law is J ustifiablef, the affirmative team being Pyle and Lockwood, and the negative Byrne and Dome. Excellent argument was put up by both sides, but the decision went to the aflirs mative. At this meeting the society also authorized Mr. Paddock to express to Mr. Shannon their customary iibox of bricks, as an expression of their compliments and congratulations upon his very happy marriage to Miss J ones of Brazil. They also extend him their heartfelt sympathy. The most important action of the society in the last month has been its unanimous accept- ance of the challenge from the Ciceronians to debate the inter-state question: itResolved, that the Democratic administration has justified its election? Since the acceptance of the challenge the choice of sides has been decided by lot in favor of the Ciceronians. They have chosen the aflir- mative, and the Daedalians are preparing to give them a hard tussle for the honors. The debate will be held sometime in Feb- ruary. EOLEOTIU. On November 19 the Eclectic Literary So- ciety held its Thanksgiving meeting. Quota- tions from Longfellow were given in response to the roll-call. Miss Scott gave a biography of Longfellow. Miss Slinkard told a first Thanksgiving story. Miss Mooney gave a piano solo and also acted as critic. 'k A .I THE NORMAL ADVANCE- '77 On December 3 the life and works of Henry VanDyke were studied. Miss Milner gave a sketch of his life. Two of his best known works were reviewed, Miss Cooper giving the story of ctThe Other Wise Man? and Miss Maize Elliott the story of icThe Mansion? Miss Beaver acted as critic. .The Society was entertained Friday even- ing by Miss Slinkard and Maize and Gertrude Elliott. FORUM. As always, the Forum Society is in the midst of current events, current topics, or in short, it might be said to be in the present day life of the universe. A few of the topics which have been discussed recently are: ttHealth Prob- lemsfi t4Drug Habitsf and itVVarfareFc John Shortwell has been elected to active membershipvof the society. On Wednesday, NOV. 18, Mr. Shotwell was introduced into the society. After the introduction he made a very interesting and instructive talk on ttFraternal Brotherhood? On Friday evening, Nov. 13, the Forum gave their gtGroodl Luck Dancew at the Phoenix Club. This was the hrst social function of its kind ever given by the society. The guests were students of the school and persons who had at some time been connected with the insti- tution. The active members of the society and their guests present were: Messrs. Raymond Rightsell, Andrew Mer- eker, George Hahn7 Rollie Dobbs, Clifford Blackman, Glenn Brown, J ohn Shotwell, Charles Burton and Luther Troutman. Misses Grace Nantz, Frieda Glavecke, Mary Flaherty, Mary Scott, Aldene Richards, Zelpha Burkett and Helena Freitag. . The Alumni members and guests were: Messrs. A. C. Senour, Warner Lowe, Ray Jared, and J ames Mackweil. Mrs. A. C. Senour, Misses Ivah Cox, Hazel Hathaway and Doris Drake. Invited guests: Messrs. Ernest Michael, Harold Swanigan, Wendell Wright, Charles Melton, VViliiam Fitzgerald, of Montgomery, Ind., Oscar Haney 0f Cannelburg, Ind., Ward Byrkitt, Lee Brinton, Arthur Turman, Rich- ard Caldwell, Elbert Allen, Ott Reisman and Keith Offett. Misses Enid Cockrum, Bernice Heath, Nola Noland, Mabel J ones, Helena Casey, Blanche Desmeyer, Bessie Kerber, Cora- del Wade, Beatrice Kester, Margrete Clawson of Evansville, Vallie Runyan, Rachael Sutliff and Catharine Nantz. i Profs. Mutterer, Baxter, Botsford and Rhyan were the chaperons. Raymond Rightsell and Miss Grace Nantz led the grand march, and programs were handed out by Andrew Mereker and Miss Frieda Glavecke. This will probably end the social functions of the Forum for the year 14:. The society has done excellent work throughout the past term, and now with great expectations it is looking ahead to the new year. Thus at the end of the 01d year, the Forum wishes to extend to one and all a Merry Christ- mas and a Happy New Year. PHILOMA THEAN. The Philomathean Literary Society met on Saturday, November 17. Miss Guppy was ill, and therefore unable to give her part of the program. Miss Rippetoe opened the meeting with a piano solo, which was much appreciated. The remainder of the morning was given over to a business meeting. The next meeting was held on November 21. Current events were discussed, and music was given by Miss Burnell. Miss Cuppy discussed most interestingly DeMorganis ttJoseph Vance? The members have taken unusual interest in the work this year, and the next termis work promises to be even more interesting. - TBOJAZVS. The Trojans can express their general atti- tude in the expression ttAll is quiet on the P0- tomaei, for every member is busily engaged in '78 THE NORMAL ADVANCE getting material on the Inter-State Question. Several of the major points of the qtlestion have been debated and discussed. The work of the society is progressing nicely and is well above the reproach that could fall to the lot of a so- ciety that is hardly out of its swaddling clothes. The society is like a healthy growing plant that is constantly spreading its influence upon the members. With the enthusiastic and conscien- tious work that is being done by the members the society is rapidly gaining the characteristics of an old tried machine. GERZIIAN CLUB. On November the eleventh, the ttDeutsche Vereinh was favored by an interesting illus- trated talk by Mr. Mutterer on his travels to the places connected With the lives of German poets. At the next gathering the members en- j oyed a number of Heinrich Heinets poems read most expressively by Mr. Mutterer. The last meeting of the month was omitted on-account of Thanksgiving vacation. At the first Decem- ber meeting Miss Lederer gave a. talk about her trips through the European war zone. Whatts the best thing in the world? June-rose7 by May-dew impearled; Sweet south Wind that means no rain; Truth, not cruel to a friend; Pleasure not in haste to end; Beauty, not self-decked and curled Till tits pride is over-plain; Light that never makes you Wink, Memory that gives no pain; Love7 when so, you,re loved again.

There is in life no blessing like affection; It soothes, it hallows, elevates, subdues, And bringeth down to earth its native heaven. It sits beside the cradle patient hours, Whose sole contentment is to watch and love; It bendeth 0,er the death-bed, and conceals Its own despair with words of faith and hope. If has naught else that may supply its place, Void is ambition, cold is vanity, And wealth an empty glitter without love. eL. E. Landon. THE NORMAL ADVANCE 81 QEIaSg QBrganigatinng COLLEGE 00 UBSE. T comes! It comes! The Christmas Time, and with it, we regret to say, several of our classmates, having finished their work, will leave us in body if not in spirit. To them we give our heartfelt wishes for their immediate success, and we are certain that we will be able with great pride to point them out to our fu- ture classmates as uCOLLEGE COURSE GRADUATES? - ctBut come? the other classes say, 4tVVhat have you done in athletics?7 lTis true that our Sophomore-Freshman team, composed of Archibald, Campbell, Henderson, Mandeville, Rasor, Swanigan, and Shriner7 went down in defeat, but not until they had scalped the only truly Normal Course team. And who is it that could honestly say that the strength of both the Senior and J unior teams was not due to the fact that they contained College Course men. Stop for a moment and consider-ttAd- dielt Bowles and ttFath Miller, tthe senior starsi are C. C. athletes. While the J unior team who won the right to play in the Final Game, is mostly made up of C. Cfs, Capt. Mark, Shaw, Lockwood and Strickler. tIt was Mark, if you remember, who threw the winning goal in the Senior vs. Junior gamei. Moreover, the energy of the Normal Sophs is largely due to the inspiration received from the winsome smiles of College Course maidens. Oh! No! Normal Seniors, J uniors, Sophomores, all; the athletic spirit of the College Course is not dead. In fact, we are sportsmen enough to thank you in advance, and in THE ADVANCE, for that giCiderll which is forthcoming. On N ovember the 18th the College Course held a meeting in room B 12 0f the Normal Building for the purpose of electing a class artist and to discuss the proposed disorganiza- tion of the College Course as a separate class. Miss Katherine Flaherty was unanimously elected class artist. Speeches were made by nearly every member present disapproving the disorganization 0f the College Course as a separate class. The principal reason given for such a stand were: First, College Course stu- dents, as a rule, are in school for the entire year while many of the Normal students are in for single terms. This fact makes it possible for the College Course to reorganize but once a year which is very desirable. This is not the case in regard to the Normal Classes. Second, a separate organization of the College Course will tend to spread the fact that the Indiana State Normal School has a College Course, among the other Colleges and Universities throughout the country. In a vote taken by the class, the proposed disorganization was disapproved by all. A committee, consisting of R. Sigler, chairman; Miss Norma Wilson, R. Rightsell and J. M. Koch, was appointed to inform the Faculty Committee in charge, of the attitude of the class upon the matter, and to use their influence as far as possible against such action. Let us hope that uThough the years may come, and the years may go, the tclassi Or- ganization will go on forever? SENIORS. Although the Senior Class has not been very active in social affairs since our last publica- tion, it has not been idle in other lines, all look- ing toward the advancement of the school. In athletics the Seniors, College as well as Normal, have shown that they are good losers as well as good winners. The first series of inter-class basket ball games resulting in a tie, a double- header was played December 2 and in this the Seniors lost to the Juniors by the close score of 18-19. This eliminates the class from the Championship contest. The date of the next social is set for De- cember 19. This will be held in the gymnasium and will be the first class party given accord- ing to the new rules. THE NORMAL ADVANCE JUNIORS. Although the number of Juniors in school is small when compared with the numbers of. the other classes, they are very much alive and keep the pot boiling all the time. On Friday night, November 20, in the as- sociation rooms was given the first social of the year. As the guests entered they were each given a piece of paper with a name, which identified them with some family. After the head of each family had assembled all the members, he led them to the dining room, where a picnic supper was served. After supper Miss Lois Shirley entertained the class with some vocal selections and was heartily eneored. The remainder of the even- ing was spent in games and fortune hunting, which proved a highly interesting sport. In athletics, too, the Juniors are proving their prowess. The inter-elass games started with the J uniors considered entirely outside the money. The first game was lost to the Normal Sophs, but it proved that the Juniors were fighters and that they were going to fight for every game. Then came the haughty Seniors, eonquerers of the Sophs. It was a good fight, but was the Seniors waterloo. The fighting spirit of the Juniors showed itself in the last half and the final eount showed them to possess the long end of the score. Then came the In- fants 0f the College. Small men, but clever, a fee to be respected. Again it was the Iighting spirit of the J uniors which won; and without the services of Captain Mark, the star center, the scalp 0f the husky babes was taken and hangs airing before the lodge of the Juniors. The game remaining was played and then the mantle of championship rested on the husky shoulders of the Junior athletes. The score was 28 to 23. 301710111013578. The Sophomores held their third business meeting, November the eleventh, and elected Eugene Monroe as yell leader; Mr. J . Clayton, Miss Marjorie Botts and Miss Ruth Miller as yell composers; Miss Stephens, Miss Botts and Mr. Burnett as members of the entertainment committee; Miss Inez Graves, Miss Irene Ap- plegate and Mr. Sehopmeyer as members of the decorating committee. A motion was made and carried to have a class party to be held in the girls, gymnasium on the evening of November twenty. 0n the evening of November twenty about one hundred and twenty-five of us with our guests assembled in the girls7 gym, with Miss Anna COX, Mr. Sehockel and Mr. Breitweiser 4 as ehaperons to see that there was no dancing. The eveningts program was started by the playing of several familiar games. Partners were chosen for the delicious lunch- eon which consisted of fruit jello and nabiseos. The punch bowl was the most popular dish, e11- joyed mostly by a little curly headed college Soph boy.- After playing more games and being enter- tained by some of our talented musicians we dispersed, wishing for the next party time to come. The Sophomores have an undisputed good showing for the inter-elass championship. We are proud of the showing made by the team. Did you ever notice the number of Sopho- more rooters there are at the games? THE NORMAL SOPHS. Say there! perhaps Some one of you chaps Have heard of the Normal Sophs,- You say you did?

VERY man in school is requested to come and be one of the Y. M. fellows, who meet every Tuesday afternoon at 8:30 in the Y. M. C. A. room. At every meeting an inter- esting talk or lecture is given by some member of the faculty or minister of the City. Thus far the meetings have been well attended and let us endeavor to make the'future ones still better. Owing to the fact that many students were compelled to be absent in order to'register and later to vote in the November election it was necessary to cancel several of the regular meet- ings. However, with election over it shall not happen again. A j oint-meeting with the Y. W. was held Thanksgiving week and a delightful and instructive program was rendered. ClaudetFrench and C. E. Walk represented the Normal Y. M. C. A. at the forty-fifth con- vention of the Indiana Y. M. C. A., which was held at Lafayette, Nov. 20, 21 and 22, 1914. The people of Lafayette extended a very cordial welcome to the delegates. The student delegates were entertained in West Lafayette the Purdue Association. The convention was addressed at diHerent times by Dr. VValIace C. Payne 0f Irvington, Ind.; Thomas A. Rymer, State Student Secre- tary; C. D. Hurry, Student Secretary Interna- tional Committee; Dr. Frank H. Burt, Presi- dent Associatien College, Chicago; President W. A. Millis, Hanover College; E. L. Mogge, of Evansville; Dr. George J . F isher, Secretary Physical Department International Commit- tee, and others. All the addresses were inter- esting and full of many good things for the delegates. They all showed the importance of the Y. M. C. A. work in all parts of the world. The delegates were given a Wider View of the by the Purdue Association. The success of the diiferent meetings was due in a large measure to the splendid work of the president, Clarence B. Kessinger, 0f Vin- cennes. The report of the treasurer, John F. Wallick, showed that the association had collected and spent a little over $14,000 during the year. At the business meeting Saturday morning about $4,000 were subscribed for the work next year. W. A. Millis of Hanover was elected president of the association fer the coming year. The members of the convention attended the Pur- due vs. Indiana football game on Saturday afternoon. The address to men in the Victoria Theatre by Henry M. Bowling of Indianapolis on Sunday afternoon was well received by those present. Muncie extended an invitation to the associa- tion to meet there in 1915. On Monday, December 6', 1914, the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet met in Room B 12 for the purpose of eleeting a president to fill the vacancy left- through the resignation of Richard Sigler. Mr. John Henderson was elected.

The Cabinet also took up the matter of changing the membership fee, and it was re- duced from the 01d amount t500 a termy to 25 cents. Come, boys, let,s boost the Y. M. C. A. work for our spiritual development is a necessary element in our education. 84 THE NORMAL ADVANCE latal ant Qlumm' Trainloads of students rushed to various parts of the state to enjoy the annual turkey, and cranberry sauce.

The terms of the agreement are given, chief among which are the protest of J apan against the agreement because J apanese companies wished the right of developing Chi- nese oil helds, and the objections of some of the Chinese people. Finally the benefits which China will derive from the agreement are set forth. The concluding sentence says, igSolwe may say that the establishment of this co- operation between the Chinese government and the Standard Oil Company really marks the beginning of a new era in the development of Chinals mineral wealth?9 An editorial iiEdison and Genius7 from the Interlude, South Bend, tells of a new achieve- ment by Thomas A. Edison. At the beginning of the great war in Europe he was cut off from his supply of carbolic acid. As he needs a ton and a half daily in manufacturing his disks for phonograph records the loss required a suspen- sion of this work. But Edison set to work and evolved a new practical process for producing carholic acid, completed a factory for the pur- pose, and so obtained the necessary supply.

The Inter-oollegiate Bureau of Occupations organized in 1911 by eight large eastern col- leges for women is seeking to aid women who desire to enter into fields of endeavor other than teaching. It collects and makes accessible full information about non-teaching occupations for women, and helps positions and applicants to get together. Women teachers in America fall into three general classes, those who teach until they get married, those who teach because they fail to get married7 and real teachers. The girls of the 715 class are facing the prob- lem of occupying their time in some way next year.

VOLUME XX. 013132 gnaelts Mistake By GLADYS SMITH N the corner of one of the quiet, peaceful streets, in the suburbs of a city, stood a large old-fashioneol brick house. The house, which was a double one, had large square doors, with brass knockers, and porches sup- ported by columns. In the garden, back of the house, iiowers bloomed in reckless profusion, and the lawn, with its smooth turf and rustic seats, was very tempting to the casual passerby. In this quaint old house, lived two families, who had been devoted friends in childhood. The men, as boys, had hunted, fished, played ball, gone to school together, and done all the other things which boys do, and now they were inseparable comrades in business. They lived together in the double house, much as one fam- ily, sharing each others joys and sorrows, both great and small. In front of one of the large rose-eovered windows, placed close enough to catch the deli- cate odor of the flowers, daily lay the little daughter of one of the friends. She was a deli- cate fragile-looking child of about eight years, and the pet and darling of the household. The wind, as it blew back the dainty curtains which screened the window, stirred the golden curls, which lay upon a pillow scarcely whiter than the little face upon it. Her eyes were of that deep ethereal blue, and usually had a thought- ful, dreamy look in their depths. Her delicate little yblue-veineol hand7 rested upon the cover- let, and she lay languidly, as though the slight- est exertion tired her. Here she was compelled to lie, day after day, for little Ellen, as she was called, was a hopeless cripple. When she was a mere infant, a careless nurse had let her fall, injuring her spine, thus condemning her to a life of inactivity. Specialists had failed to cure her, although her loving parents had taken her to some of the best to be found, and their one thought now, was to make her life as happy as possible during the short time she might be spared to them. In spite of all this, little Ellen was never heard to repine or complain. Although her suffering was severe, yet she bore it with a patience that was touching in the extreme, and she was dearly beloved by all who knew her. Many people on their way to work stopped at little Ellenis window to bring her a gift of fruit or flowers. One old man in particular always stopped to receive her cheery smile and pleasant, ttGood morning, Mr. Murray. How are you this morningW Indeed there were very few who would not have sacrificed almost anything to bring happiness to Ellen. The other family had a little boy of about the same age, who was the Constant playmate and companion of Ellen. He was a mis- chievous little fellow, with dark laughing eyes and rosy cheeks, and so active that he could hardly be still for live minutes at a time. Most of his spare moments were spent at Ellenls side, whom he loved with the devotion of a brother. As soon as he was up in the morn- ing, he raced to her rooms attempting to startle her by bursting in suddenly, and then demand- ing, ctDidnat I scare you, EllenW . A STATE N ORM LIBRARY AL THE NORMAL ADVANC 95 iEllen always carried out her part by shriek- ing and pretending to be frightened, which pleased Billy, as he was called, very much. He frequently amused Ellen by playing ball just outside the window, where he was plainly Visi- ble. Little Ellen followed his movements with delight, although sometimes a wistful look came into her face, as though she too would like to romp and play. If Billy noticed this, he was apt to become angry at her inattention, and cry, ttEllen, you are not watching? when she would smile and become, as before, an attentive observer. Billy sometimes became tired of this, and then he would seat himself beside Ellen and say, ttEllen, do you know what I am going to do when I am a man?7 Ellen, of course, could not guess, and then followed wonderous tales of future achieve- ments. In none of these did he forget his little playmate, but always said she should be his lit- tle sister and live with him. Sometimes his program varied and he told her of his experi- ences at school, for Billy went to school and that was the trial of Ellenls life. Once Billy got into a fight with another boy, and nearly frightened Ellen to death by his boastful de- scription, and the sad appearance of his face. How she did hate to see him go in the morning, and how long the hours seemed until his re- turn. From her window she watched eagerly for his return, and when he appeared far down the street, she waved her handkerchief as a joyous welcome. The Village lawyer, a kind, fatherly old man, and an intimate friend of both families, was a constant Visitor at the home, and often helped to pass away a weary hour for the little girl. When she was tired he read to her, but often- times he would sit and talk to her. When Billy came home he perched himself upon the lawyerls knees, and begged for a story from the old man,s almost inexhaustible stock. Tiring of that, he was very likely to seize upon the old gentlemanls walking stick and ride off in triumph upon it, to the amusement of the attentive observers. Thus by constant associa- tion, the lawyer learned to love the children dearly, and indeed few could help doing so. Upon one occasion, however, he was obliged to leave the city upon urgent business. Before going he called upon his little friend, as was his custom. Ellen seemed very thoughtful that afternoon and startled her old friend by the strangeness of her questions. She asked about heaven, and wondered what they would all do when she died. A nameless dread gripped him and a foreboding of evil, and it was with great reluctance that he parted from her, promising to come to see her immediately following his return. It was with unusual tenderness that he took his farewell, not knowing how soon he might be called upon to part from her. In the city he was unavoidably detained for over a week, and it was with a mingled feeling of pleasure and apprehension that he found himself traversing the wellsknown path to the brick house. Upon his arrival he found his fears had been only too well founded, for the funeral proces- sion stood even then in front of the door. With a heart as heavy as lead he entered the house to oHer his condolence to the bereaved parents. Entering the room where Ellen lay, he was sur- prised to iind her lying upon her cot, as usual, sobbing bitterly. To all his startled inquiries she only sobbed, 4cBilly is dead! What shall we do?7 Too much moved himself to attempt consol- ing her, the lawyer turned to the mother of the weeping child, who endeavored through her tears, to tell of the death by accident of the promising little fellow, who had been the pride of his parents. As she ended the sad tale, the lawyer turned away sorrowfully, to seek out the bereaved parents and offer what sympathy and consolation he was able. 96 THE NORMAL ADVANCE $Iippery aim By HILDA HATHAWAY T was in the fall of the year, and the dead leaves lay on the ground in heaps around the lonely house. The bare limbs of the trees creaked in the wind, and stretched out their long arms in a vain appeal. Slippery Jim tip-toed slowly around the house to the lighted windows in the rear. There he halted, and carefully raised his eyes to a level with the sill. The room within was a hall, and the dim light burning in it was evi- dently to be left there during the night. He gave a little grunt of satisfaction, and pushed on the window. To his surprise, it opened. This seemed rather suspicious to him, and he waited a few minutes, but nothing happened so he climbed cautiously into the house. He opened the first door in the hall, and passed into a dark room, probably a library. He drew out his spot-light to make sure, and threw a ray of light across the room. Suddenly he heard a little snap of an electric button and a lamp fiared up near him. His eyes were blinded for an instant, then he looked before him in astonishment. Seated in a large throne-like chair across the room was a huge man, his face partially cov- ered by a long, rough beard, above which his dark, sunken eyes gleamed. On one side of him hung a long bony skeleton, a mute memorial of what had been. On the other side was the cold metal gleam of knives and daggers, ar- ranged in eager readiness. Slippery Jim looked and his gaze was lost in the silent stare of the man. Thus they re- mained. Suddenly Slippery J im thrust out his arm and knocked over the lamp. He held his breath a minute in the darkness that followed, but no sound other than the crash of the lamp reached his ears, so he slowly moved his hand backwards to the door. As he reached the knob, he gave, it a sudden jerk, but the door ' did not open. He tried again, With no more success7 and then suddenly stopped in terror. The figure across the room had laughedehad given one short, cruel laugh. Slippery Jim drew his hand away from the door, and let it fall at his side, nerveless. An interminable sie lence followed, and then, slowly, gradually, as though it grew out of the very atmosphere, a sound came to his ears. The man was rising. Then J im heard a scratch, scratch; and a match flickered and lighted up anew the face of the man. Suddenly another light flared forth, a red light, coming from a lantern closed on one side. The man held the lantern up and let its rays fall on the form of the skeleton. Then he turned it towards the. other side of his chair, and picked out with great care a long knife, resembling both sword and dagger, from a number of such instruments there, emitting, as he did, a peculiar whining grunt. Then he turned the light towards Slippery J im, and let it fall full upon him. Slippery Jim felt weak and trembling, yet it seemed as though he could not sit down. But presently the red light was turned away from him, and he slid to the Hoor, and remained crouching in the darkness. Slowly the light began to move. The mants feet, shoeless, made a itpad, padt, as he started to follow the wall of the room towards Slippery Jim. Slippery Jim, always keeping his eyes on the red light, pulled himself away from the wall to the center of the room. Then the man laughed once again as he had laughed before. He continued to follow the wall of the room, the lantern in one hand, the knife in the other. The light flashed now on the wall, now on the knife, and once in awhile on Slippery J im, who kept his eyes upon it in THE'NORMAL ADVANCE 97 a fixed, almost unseeing stare. And always could he hear the tipad, pad,, of those slowly moving feet on the bare lloor. At last the man reached the place from which he had started, and it seemed to Jim as if the skeleton moved to meet him. The man did not stop, however, but started around again; only this time it occurred to Slippery Jim that he was a little closer. And Slippery J im watched the light gleam now on the knife, now on the wall, and sometimes on himself. And always he heard the ttpaol, pact7 of those feet on the bare floor. At last the man had made the circuit of the room again7 and started anew. And this time J im knew that he was closer. Again he went around, and again, always getting closer to Jim. And always did Jim keep his eyes fixed on the light, gleaming now on the knife, now on the wall, and sometimes on himself. And always did he hear those feet going ttpad, padt7 on the bare floor. At last only one more circuit could be made before Jim would be reached. And now the light gleamed more on the knife, and less on the wall, but still, sometimes, on Slippery Jim7 and the ttpad, padi, of the feet grew louder in his ears. Suddenly the light halted, and the sound of the feet ceased. But now the red rays were upon both the knife and Jim, and not upon the wall at all. And in the dim diffusing of the light could he see the deep eyes of the man, gleaming liereely. The knife was raised above him: and he watched it, not even trembling, so paralyzed was he. In a slight breath of wind from somewhere the skeleton rattled, and then the man laughed once moreea short, cruel laugh. , Of a sudden all the blood in Slippery Jimts body ran wildly through his veins. He opened his mouth and yelled, screamed at the top of his voice; then sank inertly back7 waiting for what was to happen in the glare of that red light. A white light flashed into the room as the door opened, and a tall man appeared in it. With a look of anger he rushed over to the rough bearded man and shook him, long and hard. Then he raised up Slippery Jim and led him to the door. gHds weak, don7t you know? he said, point- ing to his forehead, ttbut he wouldnlt hurt a flea? ttBut the knifeW demanded Slippery Jim. y ttO, pastelooard covered with tinfoil.

Haventt I toP you enough times to put an apron on while youtre atwashint dishes? Now, J immy, quit a ,teasin, the baby! Between you two torments, Itll go crazy, sure as I live W exclaimed Emma Louise, as she worked labori- ously on the pink silk waist that she had bor- rowed from her kind-hearted neighbor, Mrs. Peters. Charles was coming to see Emma Louise that night, and she was going to try to look her best. Unfortunately7 she did not possess a stylish evening dress, as she had always longed to have, so she had borrowed a pink silk waist from one of the neighbors. It had been too large for her, and, after she had persuaded her small sister to wash the supper dishes, she began the work of altering the waist. Al- though she was obliged to stop every now and then to scold J immy and Mary, she Iinally com- pleted her work. ttVVellf, she said, critically, as she held the waist up for a final inspection, ttI guess thattll do. Them roses do look mighty pretty! Now, children, get all your things out of the parlor, because I dont want you a trunnint in there while Charles is here;7 she finished importantly. :41 just feel it in my bones that something aw- fuPs goint to happen?7 So, when Charles entered the house, an hour later, he saw no signs of the Children, but only a radiant Emma Louise, resplendent in the bor- rowed silk waist. With her head held higher than usual, she sailed majestically into the dingy little parlor, with the admiring Charles close behind. She was unusually vivacious, and before the bashful Charles knew it, he was lis- tening attentively to a heated discussion on ttRightsF7 Emma Louise was in her element. She showed her Visitor the mysteries of the family album, at which only her particular friends were ever permitted to 100k. However, Charles did not enter very enthusiastically into this, as he usually would have done, but answered her various questions nervously. He had practiced at home what he was going to say to her, but, somehow, things did not seem to be turning out as he had expected. He had imagined himself entering the room haughtily, and whispering those precious words boldly into her ear. Indeed, he had bought a small pamphlet, entitled, ttHow to Propose Prop- erly? and had practiced minutely every direc- tion given. But, instead, there he was, fidget- ing nervously in his chair, and extremely self- conscious. ttVVouldNt you like to see some pictures of the suffrage parade?tt she asked, with a co- quettish air. Charles straightened up. This, according to his pamphlet, was the eventful moment in which he should begin the ceremony. tcEreEInmy Louise, IeIett he began in a quavering voice. ttYesf7 she broke in, brightly, ftI knew youtd love to see 7em7t Charles drew a deep breath. He straight- ened his tie, smoothed his trousers, cleared his throat, and began anew. The course of true love certainly did not run smooth in his case, at any rate. ttEmmy Louise? he repeated, desperately, ttdontt youeerssee ,t ttOhW beamed she, ttI forgot that youtre an Anti.

He arose hopelessly back in his chair. from his chair, and went over to the table, where Emma Louise was rummaging around for the post cards. tiEm-my Louisef, he said, boldly, for he felt his courage adorning back, gQ7011 know very well what I wantW iiOh, Charleslli she blushingly protestgd. CC 37 Again Fate seemed to be against Charles. Just at this Vital moment, the parlor door was flung widely open, and the irrepressible J immy, taking in the two figures with a grin, sang out, ciSay, Emmy Louise, Mis7 Peterls at the door, anl she just got a telegram from her ma, a, tellinl her to come right home, and she wants her pink silk waist, right away!w Sometime when all life,s lessons have been learned And sun and stars forever more have set, The things which our weak judgments here have spurnede The things oier which we grieved with lashes wet, XVill flash before us out of lifels dark night As stars shine most in deeper tints of blue, And we shall see how all Godls plans are right, And how what seemed reproof, was love most true.

Big Brother, who had evolved. the plan, and had acted as general manager, had taken possession of a pile of long, stout boards, which had been placed in the cellar a short time before, and, with the help of the boys in the neighborhood,' he had built the structure. The starting point was the top of our high back fence, and from there the slide descended in what seemed to us a perilous slope. The car in which we rode was a large wooden soap box, with wooden rudders on each side to anchor it to the boards; and though it stuck sometimes in the downward flight, some- one always gave an obliging push, so that it reached the bottom without mishap. Everything went smoothly at first7 and de- spite the noise and confusion attendant on hav- ing the entire neighborhood in our yard, mother was very patient and lenient. When the boys became more businesslike and dropped their plan of municipal ownership, she willingly al- lowed my sister and me to pilfer her pin- cushions, so that we could pay the regulation fare of three pins for a ride, and when it was decided that the car must be made to glide down swiftly and smoothly, she allowed us to carry away large pieces of bacon to grease the boards. As could be expected, however, her patience finally began to wane, and when Dick was carried into the house one afternoon, after a fall from the car, she spoke her sentiments. F irst she applied court plaster and kisses to his bumps and scratches, and when she was rocking him to sleep in her arms, she called us all in to her. ttNow, children, I haverft interfered with your fun in any way, before, but I cant stand it any longer, she said7 pausing to let the words take effect. Then she continued, ttI don,t ob- ject to your taking every pin in the house to use for money, and I dont object to your hav- ing a good time, but these accidents must stop. Didnit Dolly come in the other day with a bump, which she got by falling from the back fence? Isnit Karlis lip cut' by falling out of the car? And havenit you all torn your clothes on the boards and nails? Now, Dick75 fall is the last bit of trouble I can stand from the slide7 so you had better tear it down? Mother was soft-hearted, though, and after our agonized pleas she conceded a point to us. ttWellf, she announced, ttperhaps you will be careful hereafter, but if anything happens out there again, I shall have to interfere? Of course, the decision hurt business for a day or two, and there was a temporary lull in activities. Being a quiet little girl7 I rather en- joyed the restoration of peace, but Big Brother grew restive. Then one evening he came rushing into the house for a lantern, and explained that Millie and Chookie, the twins, as they were commonly called, had come to play on the slide. . ttWanta come out, kid W he asked condescend- ingly as he hurried through the kitchen, but I shook my head in refusal. ttI dont care, Minnie;7 I explained to the maid, who was generally very sympathetic, tthe charged me three pins for a ride this afternoon, and he let Lela Walker ride for nothing, so Pm mad? I soon regretted my decision, however, when I heard the merry shouts as the ear made a par- ticularly good run. Through the open door I could distinguish their outlines by the dim light THE NORMAL ADVANCE of the lantern. Joe was perched on the top of the fence to hold the car until all was in readi- ness and then start it down the incline, and the girls were enjoying as many free rides as they could wish. lMother came apprehensively t0 the kitchen several times, when a shout sounded louder than usual, but- nothing went wrong, so she finally sat down to her sewing in undisturbed serenity. As for Minnie, she seemed to be in deep thought, and except for and occasional laugh at her mysterious joke, she was abso- lutely quiet. Finally, after she had put away the last dish, she said, ccCome on, Dolly, if you want to go with me? Carelessly picking up a large sheet from the basket of freshly washed clothes, she turned to wait for me, but, pouting still because of my brothers injustice, I again shook my head. ttVVhat are you going to doW I inquired suspiciously, but NIinnie refused to tell. ttJust wait and see? she said teasingly. ttPer- haps 1,11 go over to Aunt Sophielsf9 Being rather slow to comprehend, I naturally supposed that she was going to her aunt7s home, just across the alley, and I was turning toward the living room, when a piercing scream from the backyard almost paralyzed me with fright. I sprang to the door just in time to see Big Brother silently drop down on the other side of the fence. Millie, at the bottom of the slide, was jumping up and down and screaming with all her might, while she pointed to a silent, white figure at'the end of the grape arbor. Chookie had started down the incline in the car, but when she, too, noticed the ghost, she for- 101 got where she was, and, standing up, lost her balance and tumbled to the ground, car and all. ttOh, somebodyls been killed, I knowf cried mother7 as she came hurrying from the living room, followed by father and grandfather. When we reached the twins, Minnie had re- moved her sheet, and was vainly trying to con- vince them that she was the ghost, but instead of ceasing, their screams grew constantly in volume. Heads began to appear above the back fence and anxious voices made inquiries. ttI just knew somebody would be killed on that contraption before it was torn down? scolded Aunt Sophie as she came bustling up to administer first aid to the injured. ttI hope she isnlt killedf, was another personts comment, though, for my part, I thought such an expression wholly unnecessary. After mother had soothed the feelings of the twins and had succeeded in quieting them again the crowd gradually dispersed. qull, Illl never come to play on your slide again? exclaimed Chookie tearfully, as the girls started home, but mother interrupted her. ttNo, Chookief she said solemnly, the light of determination in her eye, ccyou will never ride on it again, because tomorrow morning brother is going 'to begin chopping it up for kindling. I slid my hand softly into Big Brothers in token of my sympathy, but with a boyish gruff- ness he pulled himself free and replied with a shrug of the shoulders, tCShe broke the car when . she fell over with it, anyhow, and besides7 wetre goinl to make a tllyiif jinneyt over in the lot tomorrow? Good fortune attend each merry mants friend, Who doeth the best he may; Forgetting old wrongs with carols and songs, To drive the cold weather away. eOZd English. 102 The Normal Advance DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE INDIANA STATE NORMAL SCHOOL EDITORIAL STAFF.

Entered at the Postoffice of Terre Haute a3 second-class Mail Matter. STOP, LOOK AND PONDER. N this day and age, everything must ad- vance, must progress. If it does not pro- gress, it is retrogressing. To take this fact to heart, and look for an instance right in our own back yard, so to speak, the NORMAL ADVANCE wishes to point with pride to the ever changing nature of the June Annual. In the year 1905 this June issue was composed of the enormous number of forty pages. From that number it has gone to one hundred and sixty, and the number has been as high as two hundred. The former paper back has been replaced by a silk vellum. This J une number has been changing, progressing if you please, in order to keep pace with the changes in the school. THE NORMAL ADVANCE But what of the regular monthly edition of the ADVANCE? Has it changed in any respect? In practically every aspect, the regular. monthly edition of the ADVANCE, this very issue which you are reading, is to all intents and purposes the same as every issue which has been published before it for the last twenty years. This regular monthly issue of the ADVANCE should be changed. It has served its purpose, and all over the state one may see how high schools have modeled their papers after it. In deed we may say that many high schools have in some respects a better school paper than is ours. Now we suggest that the NORMAL ADVANCE be changed into a weekly paper rather than continue as a monthly, for the following rea- sons: First. A weekly paper would be more eco- nomical to edit. It would be possible to use a cheaper grade of paper. There would be no expense for covers or binding. In a weekly it is possible to get more advertisements. Second. A weekly paper could have news printed in it while the news is still fresh. As it is, all news is anywhere from a week to a month old when it appears in the paper. With the present monthly edition it is absolutely im- possible to print announcements. With a week- ly paper7 a regular calendar of announcements could be carried. Third. A weekly paper will arouse more interest than the present monthly. No one can be expected to become interested in reading a bit of something called news which is really an- cient history before it has been seen in print. Fourth. A weekly paper will class the In- diana State Normal School as a college rather than an advanced high school. Let us note some of the other colleges of the state. Indiana University and Purdue, the other state schools, both print daily papers. Earlham, Butler and Wabash all have weeklies. We do not claim to have enough material for a daily, but we do have an ample sufficiency for a weekly. We have now given four good reasons for THE NORMAL ADVANCE 103 W changing the NORMAL ADVANCE from a month- ly to a weekly. Do not make a snap judgment concerning this. Consider the facts as given and see if you do not reach the same conclu- sion which we have reached. THE 1915 ANNUAL. The NORMAL ADVANCE wishes to correct it- self. It reserves the right to change its mind if it so pleases and sees fit. All of those in- terested, however, may assure themselves that having done so once, it will not do so again upon the same subject. In the December issue, certain instructions were given concerning the pictures for the An- nual. These instructions have been revised and are as follows: All Seniors have pictures taken with a light gray background. tNone but light gray back- grounds will be accepted from Seniorsj It is preferred that all other students have their pictures taken on a light gray background, but this is not absolutely required. All prints for the ADVANCE to be full cabinet size, and a glossy finish. The Martin and Eppert Studios only, have full instructions from the ADVANCE art staff. For further instructions tif neededy, feel free to ask any member of the ADVANCE staff or Miss Norma Wilson, art editor. We are ready to accept any pictures at this time. All Seniors who expect to graduate, and who are in school this term, must get their pic- tures in the hands of the editors during the first nine weeks of the present Winter Term. 1 No pictures will be accepted later than this date except from those Seniors who do not en- ter until the Spring term. These late comers will be given two weeks in which to get theirs 1n. Have your picture taken at once and hand the print to either the Editor-in-Chief, the As- sociate or the Art Editor. At a meeting of the College Course Seniors held on Wednesday, Jan. 12th, it was unani- mously decided that College Course Seniors have their pictures for the Annual taken in cap and gown. Caps and gowns will be left at both Martinis and Eppert7s studios. The commit- tee in charge of getting the caps and gowns is Mr. Walk, Miss Reed and Mr. Mercker. This is to introduce you again to Mr. Walter Shriner, our circulation manager. Mr. Shriner not only has as yet a few unpaid subscriptions of seventyiive cents each, held over from last fall, but is also ready at any time to receive subscriptions from anyone for the remaining issues of the paper. The remaining issues will cost fifty cents. Mr. Shriner is wait- ing to see you. Do not disappoint him. All advertisements will be found on the last three pages, and on the cover pages of this issue. The advertisers will all be pleased to have you call on them, and if you are going to buy anything, it will pay you to do so. No advertisements from any unreliable Iirms will be found in this paper. We lose Vigor through thinking continually the same set of thoughts. New thought is new life. That man is idle who does less than he can. -An0nym0u8. 104 THE NORMAL ADVANCE gthIetits HE Opening of the new term finds the I. S. N. athletes and sports ready for the big act in the basketball drama. All the cur- taineraisers and the opening scenes have paSsed. As a curtain-raiser, we had the inter-class games. The Juniors captured the champion- ship of the school by defeating the Sophs Wednesday, Dec. 9, by the close score of 28 to 23. These games have proven very interesting this year, and have developed some coming ma- terial. Among the more promising are Mark, Leech, Lockwood, Mandeville, Clayton, Shaw, Blakesley, Michaels and Martin. Some of these men have made an excellent showing and made 'the varsity men work hard to hold down their jobs. As sort of a climax to this part of the entertainment and a direct result of the ttehestyh feeling 'of the Juniors, there was staged on Monday afternoon, Dec. 21, the farce, ttJuniors vs. Faculty?7 The Faculty had con- sented to participate in such folly only on cer- tain conditionsenamely: m That they be allowed to use any proe fessor, assistant professor, laboratory or oftice helper, or any of the janitors. t21 That they be allowed as many intermise sions as necessary for wind. While these conditions were decidedly uncon- sti-tutional, the Juniors were forced to accept because they wished to use Strickler 0f the Manual Training Department. It was clearly to be seen that the J uniors were not quite so ttchesty,7 0n the fatal afternoon when the Faculty team, composed of Profs. Schockel, Laubach, Higgins, Sing, Breitwieser and West- phal, Bowles 0f the biology department, and ttHeinie11 Knauth7 stepped out on the stage ready for action. Well, who could blame them? The Junior team was composed of Strickler, Michaels, Mark, Robinson, Shaw and Lock- wood. In the very opening scene, Profs. Hig- gins and Laubach, having played basketball be- fore, refused to do as Coach VVestphal ordered them to do, and consequently were ordered to warm the bench. This action simplified mat- ters some. The action all through was fast and furious, and the scene closed with the crest- fallen Juniors holding the small end of the score, defeated probably, as much by Prof. Sinks awe-inspiring size as by the excellent playing of the Faculty team. After the curtain-raiser the scenes of the reg- ular drama followed: ,Scene I. Normal vs. Merom College, Dec. 4. Result: Normal 57, Merom 7. Scene II. Normal vs. Danville, Dec. 11. Result: Normal 39, Danviile 27. Scene III. Normal vs. Middletown Inde- pendents, Dec. 17. Result: Normal 48, Middle- town 16. Scene IV. Varsity vs. Alumni, Dec. 18. Result: Varsity 46, Alumni 19. The Alumni team was composed of Wright, Knox, Sink, Schockel and Byrn, and they put up a good article of basketball. The remark- able thing about their performance was that they were not forced to call time once because of lack of wind. While these scenes of the first act have been very interesting, yet the big act is just opening. The act opens with the stage set for the game With Wabash, Jan. 12. This ended with our first; short score of the season. The Scarlet team proved too fast for us, and the curtain dropped with us holding the short end of the 28 to 12 score. However we have a chance to come back. Then comes Earlham, Rose Poly- technic, Franklin and other strong schools, each in turn to receive their dose of I. S. N. basket- ball dope. These big acts in the drama should prove to be a strong drawing card, and a full house THE NORMAL ADVANCE should greet the actors each night. To those who have seen the opening scenes, there is no use for urging attendance. Those who have not attended these, will be fully repaid for the little time and expense incurred in attending by the excellent quality of the entertainment. A season ticket is only one dollar t$1.00y, and by buying a season ticket one becomes a mem- ber of the I. S. N. Athletic Association. This honor and the games with Rose Poly alone guarantee one the worth of his money. The drama is certain to prove very popular, and without doubt packed houses will greet the players at every performance. Showing considerable improvement compared with the style of basketball displayed in the game with Wabash College Tuesday night the Indiana State Normal five defeated Earlham at the Normal gymnasium last night, 27 to 21. The game was fast at all times and pretty passing and goal shooting was executed by both teams, especially by the Normal men, during the last half. At only one time during the game was the Earlham team in the lead, and that was directly after the first whistle, when lVilson landed a pretty one through the net- ting from about the middle of the floor. En- durance, passing and good headwork soon placed the winners ahead. lVilson made a basket after about two minutes of play and this was followed soon after by a foul goal. Normal began scoring when Schenck registered a goal from a elif- ficult angle and this was followed soon by a goal by Stiffler. A foul marker by Knauth placed Normal in the lead and at the end of the first period the score stood 16 to 12, with Normal on the long end. Schenek and StifHer were the big point getters in this half; while Knauth came in for four foul goals. For Earls ham Winslow made three field goals and Logan registered one. Three foul marker by Morrish completed the scoring for the half. The second half began with both teams showing a considerable amount of speed and 105 close guarding. Earlham was the first to tally, which cut down the Normal lead to two points7 but this was soon increased, however, when StifHer and Knauth in quick succession dropped in a couple of pretty ones. Near the end of the half Boyer of the Normal team was put out of the game on account of four personal fouls, which caused a shift in the lineup. Knauth went to guard and Shriner took the vacant place atforward. The combination worked as well as the 01d, however, and all attempts of the Earlham forwards were smothered. At the calling of time the score was: Normal, 27; Earlham, 21. For the Earlham aggregation Winslow and Logan were the stars, especially the latter, who played the floor in wonderful style. Schenck, Knauth and StiHler played the best for the Normal. The summary: Earlham my State Normal my. Winslow ............ F ............. Schenck Logan ............... F .....

Prof. Sink stood under the J unior goal, held the Ctchildrentl off with one hand, and passed the ball to Bowles and Westphal at the other end. This7 perhaps, accounts for the cthum- blingl, 0f the J uniors. Schenckie has been out of the game with an injured ankle, but is now back in form. ttHeinielt has been playing the part of ttThe Flying Dutchmanfl and has had a heavy part 106 THE NORMAL ADVANCE in several of the acts, particularly with the Middletown Independents and Wabash. ttRuntl, must be keeping in practice for the little girl back home for he ttshorely does hold his man? ttSchenckiel9 is playing a good game, too. Whether the one in the grandstand has any- thing to do with it, we cant say. At 1 P. M., Wednesday, Jan. 13, 1915, a mass meeting was held in Chapel Hall in the in- terest of the Athletic Association, which for size and enthusiasm, surpassed any in the mem- ory of present Normalites. Blore of the fair sex were present, due perhaps to the announce- ments that the ladies of the faculty were to speak. At the beginning of the meeting Prof. Sandi- son made a short talk and presented to Stilfler our mighty center, a picture, entitled 44At His Grandmotherls Funeral? Then Acting President French introduced Miss Rose COX, who made a most enthusiastic talk. She was followed by Miss Schweitzer and she by Miss Moran, who perhaps reached the cliinax of the meeting, when she waved on high a bright, green dollar bill in payment of her fee to the association. Cards were then dis- tributed to those who wished to become mem- bers of the association. Prof. Gillurn then made a talk, comparing our association with the as- sociations of other schools, and struck a respon- sive chord when he proposed that we have a banquet as is done by other schools. Even though we cannot have the banquet let us have more of these enthusiastic meetings, and we Will soon make people realize that there is something doing in old I. S. N. literary QBrganigatinns OIOERONIANS. FTER the joys of Christmas vacation, all the Ciceronians returned for the winter term with the old spirit and determination. While it is true that ten days of rest proved a little disastrous t0 the habits formed during the term, yet these will soon return, and the work will be brought up to Ciceronian stand- ard. The inter-society team has been chosen, and these men, together with the other members, are giving all possible time to the intensoeiety and inter-state question. While there are only a few more weeks to work, it is certain that they are going to make a great elfort to recover the honors lost to the opponents last year. The society still needs one or two men to com- pletely fill the number, some men are under consideration, and it is to be hoped that these places will soon be tilled. The work moves more smoothly and is more enjoyable when the full number are present. EOLEOTIO. The Eclectic Literary Society entertained Wednesday afternoon, Dec. 10, in the associa- tion rooms. Music and games were the diver- sion of the afternoon. Prizes were won by the Misses Wilson, Hamilton and Edwards. Light refreshments were served after the games; the members then took their guests to the Orator- ical benefit show at the Orpheum. The guests were the Misses R. Wilson, M. Davis, Edwards, Brookins, Kasameyer, Swartz, Taggart, Gril- christ, Crawford, White, F . Seever, Hamilton, Tarmohlen, Thomas, M. Brown, Perkins and Mapes. The Eclectics have elected the follbwing olii- THE NORMAL ADVANCE 107 cers for the winter term: President, Gladys Gray; Vice-president, Hazel Taylor; secretary, Maize J ane Elliott; treasurer, Alma Mooney; parliamentarian, Edith Overpeck; sargeant-at- arms, Audrey Slinkard; editor, Edith Scott. FORUM. The first Forum meeting was called to order by Mercker on Friday, J an. 8th. Hahn acted as secretary. The entire meeting was devoted to the general business of the society. Robert Hoffman was elected treasurer for the term. Grim and Hahn are on the program committee. Messrs. Robert Hoifman, Andrew Mercker, Casper Crim, George Hahn, Clifford Blackman, Rollie Dobbs, Luther Troutman, Charles Burton, Glenn D. Brown and John Shotwell are in school this term. PHILOMATHEAN. The Philomathean Literary Society had its first meeting of the new year, Saturday morn- ing, Jan. 9th. Almost all of our last terms membership returned as well as one of our older members, Miss Hazel Davis. We have planned a good program for this termea continuation of the study of the Enge lish novel. Moreover, we are working on our play. Each member is showing a splendid spirit, and beginning her work with enthusiasm. We extend a hearty wish for a Happy New Year to all. TROJAN. The first meeting of the Trojan Literary So- ciety was held Monday, J an. 4, 1915, for the purpose of organizing the work of the coming term. All the members of last term were pres ent. The following offlcers were elected: R. Shannon, president; L. L. Standley, secretary- treasurer; C. French, press reporter; J . C. Tranbarger, corresponding secretary, and J . Henderson, reporter to the ADVANCE. Last term the work of the society proved to be very successful. But this termts work is eX- pected to be even more successful. The society will debate the inter-state question Thursday, Feb. 4, 1915. GERMAN 0L U3. The war has not placed a quietus 0n the German Club7 for it has been conducting meet- ings on Wednesday afternoons as usual. The Fall term Opened with a musical program, and there have been several kinds of meetings. Mr. Mutterer read to the members on a few even- ings; once Bliss. Lederer told of her experiences in Germany this summer after the outbreak of the war, and sometimes the meetings have been devoted to singing new songs. All good Germans know how to celebrate Christmas, and the members desirous of being termed ttecht deutschf had a beautifully deco rated Christmas tree. Christmas carols were sung, and gifts were distributed to the guests. As we read in the society columns of our worthy newspapers, two ttfeatures 0f the afternoontt were a piano solo by Margaret Welte, and a very dramatic performance of ttThe Blue Birdf produced by the following troup 0f accom- plished actors: John Koch, Hilda Hathaway, Inez Kelley, Lawrence Scheidler, Mary Louise J aeniseh, Emilie Zobel and Rachel Schafer. Refreshments were served, and at the close of the meeting it was voted to collect the gifts, and both the tree and the gifts were given to the Social Settlement to help make brighter some other peoples Christmas. The guests were Miss COX, Miss Schweitzer, Margaret VVelte, Gertrude Zobel, Mr. Schockel7 Mr. and Mrs. VVeng, and Mr. Mutterer.

A breakfast was given Saturday morning at the Y. W. C. A. Cdvers were laid for twenty- four. The soft light of the pink candles showed a prettily decorated table in pink and white, the sorority colors. Pink and white carnations completed the color scheme, and were given each member and guest. A delightful time was enjoyed by all. Other rush parties have been planned for the week and a successful and interesting year is anticipated. THE OZIIEGA SECTION. The Omegas celebrated Christmas with :1 de- lightful party given in the Y. W. C. A. par- lors, Dec. 19th. The afternoon was Spent in games and dancing, after which a delicious four course luncheon was served. A feature of the afternoon was the exchanging of gifts among the guests. The dining room was artistically decorated with Christmas colors. The lights were hooded with red and green, and streamers , 0f the same colors were extended from the cen- ter of the room to the four corners of the table. A miniature Christmas tree formed the central ornament for the table. After the luncheon, the remainder of the evening was spent at the theatre. A number of rushing parties are be- ing planned for the coming week. PSI THETA. The members of the Psi Theta Sorority gave a six 0,01,0ck dinner at the Elks Club on Satur- day, Dec. 19.

LAST inontlfs ADVANCE stated that the Seniors had not been very active in social affairs, but hinted that a social would be given in the near future which might cause some sur- prises. And cause some surprise it did! Even the fondest dreams of those most interested in its success were more than realized. More than a hundred students attended, and there is not one but that will say it was one of the greatest functions of its kind in the history of the school. This was the first social under the new rules, and the authorities suggested that the Seniors 4set the pace? From all reports, if the other classes run even a Close second it will take an immense amount of hustling. Of course dancing was the chief amusement of the evening, the program consisting of both the old and the new dances. The ments gym- nasium lloor was in excellent condition, and was comfortably filled. For those who did not care to dance, entertainment was provided in the woments gymnasium. The program consisted of an old-fashioned spelling match, a Yale- Harvard baseball game, and a silhouette contest. In a conspicuous place was an attraction that did not escape the notice of any. This was a great punch bowl, which fairly groaned at the liberality of its patronage. Surely, the red fluid Howed with true northern lavishness. Wafers also were served. It was shown at this social that the students are in hearty sympathy with the new rules on socials, and appreciate the action of the Faculty in granting the concession. If there was a single thing to mar the com- plete pleasure of those present, it was the per- sistency of the clock hands in moving about twice as fast as it seemed they should. Profs. Scho'ckel, VVeng, Sandison, Baxter, Botsford and Miss MoCrum were the chap- erons. THE ST. THOMAS AQUINAS CLUB. During the Fall term, the meetings of the St. Thomas Aquinas Club were very interest- ing, as well as instructive. The Clubs wide- awake gathering of Tuesday, Jan. 12, indicates that the meetings are to be even better this term, and the worthy president7 Mr. Riel, is very enthusiastic. All Catholic students are invited to spend an enjoyable and profitable half hour every Tuesday afternoon at 3 :30, the guests of the St. Thomas Aquinas Club. .VVhen you7ve got a job to do Do it now !

GE. g, 17.111. 0. A. T was on the 12th of Jan. that the first regu- lar Y. M. C. A. meeting of the Winter term was held. No regular speaker was procured for the occasion as the purpose of the meeting was to be a general assembling or coming-to- gether of the new and 01d Y. M. workers. Light refreshments were served and a rousing time followed. An exceedingly large attendance gave great encouragement to the officers of the association. It is safe to prophesy that the present term will be a banner one in the Y. M. work. The membership fee has been lowered to 25 cents, and yet the finances of the associa- tion are about as high as in former times. In the coming term, as was the case in the past term, special music will be a feature in the weekly programs. Every man in school is re- quested to attend the Tuesday afternoon meet- ings, and to help make the Y. M. C. A. a big success. We wish that more of the Faculty members could find time to be with us on these occasions. Y. TV. 0. A. The Y. W. C. A. meetings have' been very in teresting this past term, and instead of depend- ing entirely upon outside speakers, the girls themselves have taken more active part in the programs, one girl assuming charge of the meeting, and then appointing her assistants. Several times light refreshments have been served. Miss Golay directed the Christmas meeting, and there was a musical program, after which Christmas boxes filled with candy and nuts, were distributed among those present. During this last term we have had two very interesting guests in our association, Miss Har- riett Haggard, of Boston, who was traveling in the interest of the Student Volunteer Associa- tion; and Miss Gertrude McArthur, who was for awhile a teacher in the Peeressesi School in Tokio, and who was traveling in the interest of the Central Field Work for Foreign Missions. Miss Haggard addressed the school at chapel exercises, and Miss McArthur spoke at the Y. W. meeting itself, and gave an interesting ac- count of her experiences in Japan, and what that little country needs today. The Normal calendars met with a hearty re- sponse from those people who are interested in the school and its activities, and are proud to show their alma mater. Many of the calendars t were sold, and the cabinet makes grateful ac- knowledgment of the interest shown in them. The Young Womenis Christian Association is open to wall the women of the school, and invites you to attend the meetings on Tuesday after- noons at 3 :80 oiclock.

THE NORMAL ADVANCE 115 Exthangeg A number of exceedingly interesting papers have been received by the exchange depart- , ment this month, among which are several de- serving especial mention, notably, ccThe Stu- dent? from the Eastern Kentucky State Normal School at Richmond, Kentucky, ttThe St. J ohnls Echo;7 from St. J ohnls University, Shanghai, China, and ttThe Central Normal Bulletin; from Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. We feel, however, that no comment on the merits of the various papers are so interesting to the readers of the ADVANCE as are the quotations and extracts of the best that have been gleaned by a perusal of the different exchanges which have been received. The quotations speak for themselves as to the worth of the papers from which they have been taken. The Central Normal Bulletin quotes the fol- lowing: HOW TO KILL THE PAPER. First-Do not subscribeeborrow your class- matels paper. Be a knocker. Second-Look up the advertisers and patron- ize the other fellow. Be a Chump. ThirdeNever hand in anything and be sure to criticise everything in the paper. , Be a Shirk. F ourth-Tell your neighbors you can get more news for less money by buying some other paper. Be a squeeze. F iftheIf you cant help make the paper go, be a corpse. t i Sixtthf all the above fail, go to knocking. The same paper gives this interesting dis- cussion: A new Course of Study Needed. Our schools teach the art of correct speaking, the art of good writing, the art of proper con- duct, the art of right thinking or at least the effect of right thinking. art of good-dressing? To know how to dress properly is not in- stinctive, it must be learned and it should be learned in the right way. And where should we expect to find the proper instruction but in a school where we are preparing ourselves for our life work? Good dressing does not mean to be showin or fashionably dressed, but it does mean that a Why not teach the , person should be appropriately becomingly, and tastefully dressed, with due respect to time, place, occasion, and money. This course should give the student the much needed information regarding the nature and value of fabrics. A piece of goods may look very attractive as displayed on the counter, and without knowing anything of its value one may be enticed into purchasing it, to find later its worthlessness. It is not economical to buy goods that are not durable. So, as a matter of economy we need this course. When we go out into the world we shall be among strangers who can judge us only by ex- ternal, and if we are not appropriately dressed we may not be judged at our proper value. To give a concrete example-If a girl had been correctly taught, she would not wear a com- bination of soiled lace and chiffon in the school room where the plain, neat shirt waist would be appropriate. Size, height, weight, as well as color of hair, eyes, and complexion, all need to be considered to know how to dress becomingly. Then, too, one should understand the effect of a proper combination of colors, and this must be taught. The showily, fashionably, overdressed wom- an will be imitated by the young girl who has had no proper training in the art of proper dressing ,as well as the woman who is quietly and tastefully dressed. 116 THE NORMAL ADVANCE Finally, and not least, it is a satisfaction to a person to know that she is properly dressed, and knowing that her dress is appropriate, she can dismiss any thought concerning it and give her mind to something else. If dress is an im- portant factor in our lives, and we think we have shown that it is, Why should we not be taught the art of good dressing? The following article comes from ccThe Anchor? Holland, Michigan. HABITS OF STUDY AND SUCCESS. There is an old familiar adage, ccAs the twig is bent, so is the tree inclined;7 that is nowhere more applicable than to the relation the life of the student bears to his future success. We would not measure success merely by the finan- cial standardsealthough What we are about to say has to do With them also-wbut by the higher standards of reputation, of service, of man- hood. A young man spends at school the time When his character is in the process of forma- tion; he is then fixing habits of thot, of action that Will fetter or serve him afterwards. The student Who forms indolent habits of study, Who does not work hard While he works, is failing to develop the habit of concentration. The student Who sits With his book before him and allows his mind to wander through the labyrinths of fancy and imagination, Will never succeed as a scholar. Worst of all, that indo- lent method of working Will remain With him and render him incapable of hard consecutive effort. Great tasks demand absolute attention, and the men WhO perform them are those Who are able to fulfill that requirement. The stu- dent has unparalleled opportunities for ecultiva- ting concentration, Which, While not a sure guarantee of success, is an absolute requisite. There is another quality that should mark a students work and that is thoroughness. To the man Who can do the task well is the duty given. The student Whose lessons are marked by carelessness of preparation, will find that the same carelessness Will mark everything he does after graduation. Thoroughness, exact- ness, and faithfulness are necessary concomit- ants of success. The college man, that day by day, conscientiously does his work, Will find himself well equipped for life. It is not the man of the most brilliant intel- lect that renders the greatest service to his fel- lows, but the man that has best developed the God-given capacities for mental effort. Keen- ness of perception, infallibility of judgment are not to be found in text books, but those very text books can best bring out these qualities. The world is recognizing this and is today looking to the colleges to furnish its leaders. The trained thinker finds that his A. B. or A. M. Wins him little consideration; it is the men- tal discipline that those symbols represent that commands respect. The possession of a mind, accustomed to concentration and t0 thorough performance of duty, is the debt that he owes his Alma Mater. eL. Y., 315.

NUMBER 5. guns Eumini 2215 tWith Apologies to Tehnysoni By HILDA HATHAWAY HE aeroplane stopped with a Whirr above . the Dunningjs residence, and Jean jumped lightly to the platform. She ran to the doorway and stepped inside one of the waiting elevators, pushing the button for the tenth floor. In a moment she had descended to her destination, where she found her mother lying down, reading the illustrated newspaper suspended above her head. ttWhereis father it J ean asked her, when she had hugged her once or twice by way of greet- ing. uI think he7s up in the nursery, teaching the baby how to run that miniature biplane I bought her the other day? replied Mrs. Dun- ning. ttI think you had better go up and speak to him now, because I should like to have you run down to Washington with me this evening. The empress sent word to New York for a rep- resentative of the Anti-Trust Club to come down, and they decided to send me? 4tI5d rather not, mother;7 answered Jean, ttI cabled J ack yesterday, when I left Paris7 that Pd be over to see him this evening? ttVery well, then. Jack is a very sweet boy, even though he is a little feminine, and seems to think that the masculine sex should have more rights? itWell, do you know;9 confessed J ean, 44I rather like that in him. I donit know why, but I do. VVouldnit it be strange, though, if men should be as the old legends say they used to be, and women couldntt do anything? ttOh, those stories are greatly exaggeratedft declared Mrs. Dunning. ttMen are not, and never were, capable of handling great matters. I know the men of this generation, at least, would not have the brains to get up and de- mand power for themselves? ttl don7t know about that, mother. If I live to be as old as Sixty there are forty years yet in my life, and think how much can be accom- plished in that time. ttWell, at least nothing Will happen at pres- ent. But look, we have been talking five min- utes. Run and kiss your father, and then get something to eat. Youill have to change your suit before you go to see J ack, wonit you ,i 44Oh7 yes. I shall wear my Wine-colored suit, With the silver buttons? ttYes, that one looks best on you. But I think that suit is a very extravagant one, With silver as scarce as it is? ttI can afford it. I just made about half a million. I won the case for that rich old man, and he thanked me With tears in his eyes? ttWeil, goodbye for the present? said her mother. Jean hurried into the elevator and soon stepped out at the nursery, ten iioors above. , But her father was nowhere in sight. So she started back to the elevator, but suddenly caught sight of him on a platform outside the nursery Window, guiding the babyis aeroplane around by a slender steel thread. Jean stepped to the platform and ran towards him. THE NORMAL ADVANCE 123 As he caught sight of her his sweet face lighted up with a joyful smile, and he immediately landed the tiny machine and ran to her, catch- , ing her in his arms with all the effusion of father-Iove. ttHow I have missed you? he exclaimed, 4tand how good it is to have you back? ttI am glad to be back, father, dearf she re- plied, as she pulled a tiny gold case out of her pocket. She quickly tore a scrap of sanitary paper screening from it, and placed it over her mouth, to kiss him. ttHow well the baby looks;7 she went on, ttI wish I could kiss her too. But I suppose the doctors know best; and when she is six years old, and cannot contract infantile diseases, I shall hug her and kiss her to make up for all the time I have lostf, 4tAnd so shall I? said Mr. Dunning. giSome- times I can scarcely keep from kissing her. But I know we shall be repaid. The scientists tell me she will be very intelligenteI had her head examined just the other day. We were cer- tainly repaid with you?7 , ttThank youfi Jean answered. ttBut I must go, father, I am going to see J ack this even- ingfi c4Groodbye, Jean. P11 see you again before longW 1 ttYes. Ill be down to dinner in ten minutes. 'But I cant wait7 so you must be on time if you want to eat with me?7 She hurried back to the upper fioor, where she had left her aeroe plane waiting. In it she flew to a florists, where she purchased a beautiful bouquet of pale blue roses. Then shereturned home, and descended to the first floor. She glanced over the room in search of her father, but he had not yet come. 4tLate, as usualf7 she murmured, glancing at the watch on her wrist. She seated herself in one of the large cozy-looking chairs standing about the room, and pressed a button in the arm. Immediately a door opened at one end of the room and a serving table ran through on a single track, bearing smoking hot food. It stopped just in front of her, and she ate daint- ily. Before she had finished, her father en- tered, and seated himself near her. ttI did not mean to be late? he began, as his dinner approached. CtThe baby was a little nervous and did not go to sleep at once, as she generally does, I had to sing to her a little while? ttThat was too bad? said Jean. ttDid she ap- pear to be well i ttOh, yes? he answered. ttShe went to sleep as soon as I began to sing? In about iive minutes J ean pressed the button to remove her table, and arose hurriedly, plac- ing a fresh screen over her mouth to kiss her father goodbye. ttI am sorry I cant stay;3 she consoled him, ttI want to get to Jackis as soon as possible? She went up to her room, on the ninth floor, and immediately Changed her suit. Then she ran a noiseless vacuum cleaner swiftly over her face and hands, and smoothed her hair with a self-operating brush fastened to the wall. After examining herself scrutinizingly before the large mirror covering one side of the room, she took the roses and went up to her aeroplane, in which she was soon speeding northward to- ward the Hollinsi residence in Boston. As she 11er through the cool night air its darkness broken by the lights of other private machines, or by the warning glare of the areo-trains, speeding in high altitudes, her thoughts cen- tered on Jack Hollins. t4I dont see why he doesnit want to give up ,the name tHollinsj 7, she thought. it tDunningt is just as well-sounding a name, I am sure. He is so different from other men. He says he loves me, but he wont marry me yet, because I would make him too much of an ignorarnus. But he doesn,t need to know politics and things like thatethey would not be of any use to him. :k $5 1: There is Boston;7 she concluded, as she sighted the lofty station. Dipping down- wards, she gradually slowed until she finally came to a stop above Hollins, residence. She sent her card down a chute by the elevator, and 124 THE NORMAL ADVANCE in a few seconds the elevator door swung noiselessly open. She hurriedly stepped in- side, and was carried down to the third floor where J ack was waiting. He looked very sweet, in an old rose costume, with cream lace frills finishing off the pantalets and the neck, setting off his dark eyes to perfection. His features were clear-cut, and his face had a look of latent strength about it, almost unseeming in a man, yet not unbecoming. As J ean stepped out of the elevator he came forward as though he were going to kiss her, but she held his hands down and kissed him instead. ttDonlt you know that you should let me do that i, she asked him reprovingly. ttNo, I donltxl he answered emphatically, ch dont care what everybody says, I would rather do the kissing myself? She smiled at him. 4cYou are in one of your warlike moods tonight, arenlt you dearestW, 4:You may call it thatsbut I am in them all the time, then. I have something to show you tonight? ccWhat is it? Here is something for you. toofl and she handed him the roses. ttThank you? he said, ttwon7t you please open them ii tWVhy dont you i, she questionedwbut she did as he asked. ttThey are beautiful? he said, as she held them up, 4cwear one7 wonlt you? I711 put the others in water right away? ltVVonit you wear anyW she pleaded. ttIf you will let me kiss you,77 he answered. ttIVhy, of course, if you want to so much as all that? she consented. He put his arms around her and kissed her twice without changing the kissing-shield. 4tThere, isnt that better?7 he asked. ttVVhat would mother say to melt, she an- swered. c4Father would never have the courage to do that to her? 4WVell, isnlt itW he insisted. But she only shook her head. 4tLet me show you what I have for you;7 he went on, after a slight pause. She eagerly as- sented, so he pressed one of the buttons in the arm of his chair, and a table across the room rolled over to him. On the table lay a very queer-looking object. KtVVhat is itW sshe asked him excitedly. ttIt is a book,77 he answered. ttA book! It is not? tCWell, it is what used to be called a book, then. The printing is like that we use now, except that it is not nearly so plain. I found it not long ago in a box of relics. Look? He opened it to the lirst page of the story. The sheets were faded and yellow, and the printing was hard to distinguished. ttThat doesnt look very interesting? she said. ttHave all the pictures been lost?7 ttNo. Look at this. And he turned over a few pages, to a black and white print of a group of people. V itVVhy dont they move? she asked. why is everybody in black and whiter ttThey donlt move because moving pictures in books were not known of when this was writ- ten; and black and white were used because it was too hard then to color everything. You see, I know something, after all. In my read- ing and studying I have come across some things that you have never heard of, as much as you know about law and government?, ttMay I read thisW she asked, feeling, in some way7 as if she had done wrong. ttLet me read it to you. It is called cThe PrincesslsIt is against equal suffrage? ccThen Vvhys-CW tht shows that men should vote, and women should not? Jean laughed. tcSueh nonsenseW ttAnd Jack looked at her for a moment, silently, then took up the book. As he began to read Jean leaned back in her chair luxuriously, and watched him. His face was most serious, yet she could not keep from smiling as through her head ran a ridiculous rhime. VVhence it came she knew not, but she could not rid herself of it: mTwas in the dark of evening, and in her eyes the love-light gleamed in litful flitting THE NORMAL ADVANCE flashes. In the shadows sat the man, and vel- vety his soft eyes seemed ineath luscious 10w- ered lashesf, But as J ack read on she became interested in the story. It was surely topsy-turvy. The Princess was Jack, and the Prince was Jean herself, so it seemed. Which was right, to say that she loved him, or that he loved her? She asked J ack. ' He stopped reading, and pressed one of the buttons in the arm of his chair. A table rolled over to him, on which was a little group of miniature human-like dolls. J ack touched one of the figures. ttHomunculus, here, my special pet, will an- swer youfl he said. He pressed a button on the table, and im- mediately all the little figures began to walk and talk. But soon Homuneulus waved his arms for quiet, and they all seatedthemselves around the edge of the table. Homunculus climbed upon a little platform in the center. In the empty space around the platform a smoky cloud arose, through which the tiny figures was barely Visible, but his Vibrant tones reached J ean and J ack distinctly, accompanied by a monotonous humming from the other dolls. As Homunculus talked, the vapor around him seemed to be alive all at once, and it seemed to J ean as though it filled the room; and the words she heard grew to an intensity that seemed to hold her mind: My thoughts are of the days gone by, And now comes forth a long low sigh, As in the darkness and the gloom, Out Of the spaces of the room, Comthhe ghosts. As in a dream they float on by, Some on low and some on high, In a silent, tuneful song. No what, no how, No then, no now, No when, no whem, All empty air, A nebulous swaying throng. An incense rises in the cloud, And the still melody grows louder than loud, 125 And all intermingled in the vaporous whirl, Are the loving, the living, the dead. ' Love! Life! Death! Mystery ever And naught t0 dissever The invisible thread that binds them to- gether! Homunculus ceased; the clouds faded away, and Jack pressed the button to remove the table. ttWas your question answeredw he asked. But without waiting for a reply he picked up the book and read softly, m in part. It was ill counsel had misled the girl To vex true hearts; yet was she but a girl; Let her make herself her own To give or keep, to live and learn and be All that not harms distinctive womanhood? ,, J ean signed.

And she nodded, 126 THE NORMAL ADVANCE Qtahemit Requirements By J. O. ENGLEMAN A study of the scholastic requirements for admission into the normal schools exhibits the greatest diversity of standards, though in the midst of all the diversity there is abundant evidence of an approach toward a common standard, the college standard, i. e., graduation from a standard high school With a four-year course, as a minimum entrance requirement. In his Report, 1911, vol. I, p. 10, the U. S. Commissioner of Education says: ttThere is a rapidly growing conviction that the entrance requirements for the normal schools should not be lower than that for college. at $ t The conditions in some parts of the country, how- ever, do not yet warrant this change, but the time is rapidly approaching When this require- ment ought to prevail in every state?, In the same report, p. 100, the Commissioner says: ttThere is always a possibility that state normal schools may be made so effective as to defeat the very purpose of their creation, Which is to train teachers for schools outside the cities? These two statements from Mr. Claxton seem to represent, first7 the ideal Which the normal schools must keep before them and towards Which they are rapidly approaching; and sec- ond, the caution necessary to keep them from setting up higher entrance requirements in any given community than the community ideals and the legal scholastic standards for teachers will permit. In other words, While the normal schools ought to be leaders in the creation of public educational sentiment, and educational standards, they dare not set up standards for entrance too far in advance of the legal and popular standards of a community, or they Will find themselves Without pupils, While teachers begin their work Without any normal training Whatever. Higher legal requirements for teachers, and higher entrance requirements for the normal schools must come simultaneously to be most productive of good. Now this study very soon made it apparent that scholastic requirements for admission can- not be considered, in the case of the normal. schools; apart from courses of study, for in a given school there may be a course open only to college graduates, and still another to Which even eighth grade graduates are admitted. Or, more extreme still, many catalogues, after enumerating the entrance requirements for the various courses, expressly state that corre- spondence With the president Will probably secure the admission of a candidate, even if he belongs to none of the eligible classes. Indeed, there are six schools at present, if one may judge from the courses of study for elementary school graduates and college graduates at the same time. However, they can scarcely be blamed more for this than can a college or university which maintains preparatory classes and graduate courses at the same time. In fact, the very glory of one of our greatest state universities is that it reaches out and down and suits its courses to the needs of all the people. It confers its academic honors upon those only Who have entered by the regulation doors, but it holds itself in readiness, and in duty bound, to help any one Who Wishes anything it has to give. This, by the way, seems 1to be the status of the great rank and tile of normal schools today, though in some circles the very policy Which When pursued by a college or university arouses admiration, brings denunciation when pursued by a normal school. But it is clear that. the normal school courses are not yet Wholly standardized. The academic THE NORMAL ADVANCE entrance requirements are therefore not stand- ardized. They cannot be While communities diEer so much in their legal requirements for teachers. So long as a state has a considerable number of teachers legally entitled to teach Without the necessity of first graduating from high school, just so long Will it be worth While for some of the normal schools of that state to 127 Open their doors to teachers of experience, and teachers Who have begun teaching With only one or 110 years of high school training, that they may get additional preparation for their work. Some normal schools Will long need to keep an open door for the teachers of lowest scholastic preparation that Will legally admit one into the teaching profession. N0 law yields a greater benediction to those Who keep it than the law of labor. The idlers are not happy; there is for them little joy of life. They do not know the ltlxury of work, and they cannot, therefore, know the luxury of rest. Only the tired man knows the sweet- ness of reposeeT. W. Handford. THE NORMAL ADVANCE $90833 3t 31 aileh By MARGARET MORGAN GILLUM 4cWouldnit it be fun to spend the night here ' at Bampats P, exclaimed Winifred, suddenly jumping out of the swing. Glancing around the circle of boon compan- ions she could easily read joyful acquiescence in both expressions and actions. J oe was turn- ing a series of handsprings in the soft grass, and Lulu, her eyes tight shut, was sending forth shrill, delighted little squeals. Even timid Polly beamed approvingly upon the sug- gestion. tiDo you suppose your grandfather lud keep us all nightw questioned Mary doubtfully after the enthusiasm had worked its way into quieter channels, but Winifred interrupted her masterfully. itVinegarji as she was familiarly known, was never unprepared. ii ,Course he wouldnlt; but we7d just have to make himf7 she announced. tiYou see, we can run and hide when he begins to put the harness on the horse, and then wait till it gets dark, so that he wont take us home? itBut what if he hunts for usW, persisted Mary, refusing to heed Winifredis crushing look, which told her, more plainly than words, to stop questioning. itThen if youlre ifraid to hide, Polly, we can play be asleep right on the bed, and hell not wake usfl continued the plotter, who seemed well versed regarding tiBampasl, probable ac- tions. But Lulu appeared unsatisiied with that solution. L itBampa can always tell when Pm playing asleep, and then 'he tickles mefl she explained, and then added importantly, cibut if you really want to go to sleep I know just how to do it? At that, everyone became attentive, even J oe, who sometimes pretended to scolf at his big sis- ter7s wisdom. When all was quiet she began impressively, iiDid you know that poppies put people to sleepgl, Not really! The announce- ment brought an expectant stir, and all eyes turned instinctively toward itBampais,l flower garden, now ablaze with color from thousands of poppy blossoms. I iiYesfl continued Lulu, unconsciously an- swering the almost incredulous looks in each pair of eyes, tiMiss White said that the reason people in China go to sleep is because they smoke opium in their pipes instead of tobacco; and opium is made from poppies? o iiOh, lets try it right away quick. If we just smell it, I s,peot itlll be enough? cried Winifred, jumping up, and almost falling over herself in her haste. ciHumph, bet it wont P, muttered J oe in pre- tended masculine scorn, but, nevertheless, he was first in the race to the garden. After permission had been obtained from tcBampvai? to pick as many poppies as they wished, and his curiosity had been successfully evaded, the children took their flowers to the house and tumbled pellmell on the large old- fashioned bed. For a few moments nothing except deep, though spasmodic, breaths broke the stillness of the room, but gradually one after the other grew restless. iiAre you asleep yetW Winifred asked Lulu, poking her to make sure, and Lulu reluctantly admitted that she was not, but added hope- fully that she was getting sleepy. She was wide awake an instant later, however, when Joe7s foot collided rather forcibly with her head. Seizing a pillow, she sent it spinning in his direction, and soon the fight became gen- eral. Shouts of laughter rang through the house as, one after another, the children slipped 01f the bed7 and, finding a pillow, joined in the fun. The merriment was at its height when sud- denly iiBampai, appeared in the doorway. itVVell, kiddies? he said, ctIim already to take you home, so run along and find your hats?

HIS is the last monthly issue of THE NOR- MAL ADVANCE. When the school paper is once more seen circulating in the halls of the institution it will not be the conventional 01d ADVANCE, which has been printed regularly every month for the last twenty years, but the paper which you will see will be in the form of a weekly newspaper. We are taking this opportunity to tell you all about the new ar- rangements. Those who have already subscribed for the ADVANCE for the year 1914-1915 will continue to receive the weekly as they have in the past received the monthly. There Will be no addi- tional ohawge for the weekly. The same thing might be said to the advertisers, for there will be no additional charge for those who have signeEl year eontracts. To those, however, who have thus far not subscribed for the ADVANCE, but who wish to take the weekly for the remainder of the cur- rent year, we wish to say that they may do so by paying the enormous sum of thirty-five cents. tA single issue will cost five centsi. There will be about fifteen issues of the weekly. The first number Will be published by March the ninth. It is the plan of the ADVANCE staff to have the weekly paper in circulation every Tuesday at noon. In order that this may be possible it will be necessary for all news to be written up early on each Saturday morning. No news will be accepted after this time. In another part of this paper you Will find the opinions of a number of alumni regarding the change. Look at this section and see what they have to say. THE NORMAL-ROSE GAME. On the evening of J anuary the twenty-sec- end an important event happened Which is to be recorded in the permanent annals of the In- diana State Normal. The event referred to is the basket ball game between the team of this school and. that of the Rose Polytechnic In- stitute. This game marks the re-opening of ahtletic relations between the two schools. We, of the State Normal, are glad to see that these rela- tions can be carried on without the usual re- sumption of active fistic hostilities. These same fistic encounters were the cause of the cessation of relations four years ago and this game was in a way an experiment to see if such scraps could really be done away with. We are glad to say that the experiment was successful. There is really no reason why these games should not be carried on every year, and there are on the other hand many reasons why they should, chief among which is of course that much more money can be made by both schools 180 THE NORMAL ADVANCE from these games than any other games which could be staged. . i Let us hope that these athletic relations may be continued and that they may remain as they have begun-peaceful. THE 1915 ANNUAL. During all of this excitement about the change of the ADVANCE to a weekly, let no one forget that the work on the Annual is steadily proceeding. The following are a few facts which it will pay every one to remember. All seniors in school this term must have their pictures in the hands of editors during the first nine weeks of the present winter term. If you are a senior and have not as yet had your picture taken, go to the Martin or the Ep- pert studio and have it taken immediately. Both of these studios have full instructions as to how the pictures are to be made. If you are a College Senior make the fact known When you go to these above named stue dios and they will produce for you a cap and gown in which you are to have your picture taken for the senior panels. All College Course senior pictures must be in cap and gown. If you are a member of some school society or an officer of some class Which has not as yet signed a contract for space in the Annual, see to it that you or some officer of the society in- terview either the editor-in-chief or the busi- ness manager, and sign the contract for what- ever space may be desired. Do this at once as all contracts must be made out as soon as possible. Do not put anything 01f until tomorrow. In- stead of that, do it yourself and do it today. THESE EFFICIENCY MEALS. Not so very long ago we were favored by a chapel talk on efficiency and on the cooking of our meals as a means to general all around elficiency. This talk was on an interesting sub- ject and was given from an,interesting point of View. Judging from the dinner which was served by the cooking department of this school on the day of this chapel talk, it would seem that there is a certain department of the school which is trying its. best to adhere to that old maxim which says, iiPractice what you preach? We are glad to see this movement of the cook- ing department towards serving a dinner now and then for two reasons. The iirst reason has been given, namely, ttPractice what you preach? The second reason is that we like the dinners themselves as does perhaps everyone who has eaten one of them. If you have not as yet taken advantage of this excellent chance which the domestic science department is offering you to get a square meal cheaply, do so at your next oppor- tunity and see if you are not amply repaid for your trouble. Every one must be sure to remember that there are quite a number of Terre Haute mer- chants whose ads are always to be found in this paper. When you trade with them you not only beneht yourself, but you benefit them and incidently the ADVANCE is aided. This is what we are wont to call triple reciprocity, and we would that each and every student in the school assist in this move. Take notice and see that you trade exclusively with our adver- tisers. Whether a boy is from farm or city, rich or poor7 weak or strong, talented or not, will and work are sure to win. Wishes fail, but wills prevail. Labor is luckeW'z'lber F . Crafts. THE NORMAL ADVANCE 131 what ZEbep gay E have received quite a number of letters since the J anuary issue of the ADVANCE has been circulated, all of Which favored the change of the paper to a weekly. We are printing some of them here in order that you may judge and see for yourself. One statement Which is given is from a stu- dent here in school. We are putting it with the rest. Feb. 1, 1915. MR. CARL N. MILLER, Editor The Nmmal Advance. My Dear Mr. Miller: Your editorial in the J anuary ADVANCE relative to a change in the policy of issuing the ADVANCE strikes me as being very timely, and the suggestion is not only worthy of serious consideration, but should be acted upOn. Now, that the Annual is firmly established and is published more or less independently of the regular issues of the ADVANCE, it certainly should cause no embarrassment, financially or editorially, to bring out the regular issues of the ADVANCE no longer in book form, but as a weekly paper. The ADVANCE'has served well its purpose as a monthly issue, but convention should not bind it When it is possible for it bet- ter to fulfill the needs of the present day. I am certain that the suggestion Which you make W111 meet With the hearty approval of the entire Faculty and student body. One of the best signs of a progressive little commun- ity is the publication of a live up-todate daily paper, and similarly, one of the best signs of a live college student body is its daily or week- ly student paper, advocating and fighting for the best interests of the institution as well as serving as the medium of exchange of the lat- est' college news. Of course, I am not aware of the present fin- ancial condition of the ADVANCE, but still I shall take the liberty, as a past editor, to sug- gest that the plan of issuing a weekly be tried out at least, and that it be issued a squicient number of times to make sure of its possibil- ities. It should be given at least three months1 trial before a definite decision is made, one way or the other, but I feel certain that once it is given a fair trial, the student body Will never be satisfied With anything less than a weekly paper, and Will support it to such an extent as to permit it later to be issued twice a week. I Wish to congratulate you and your staff for progressive and energetic spirit shown, and it is my sincere hope that the Advance Will soon appear as a weekly paper, representing, as it has in the past, the best interest of I. S. N. Most cordially yours, . WILL E. EDINGTON. 410 E. Central Ave. Editoris NoteeMr. Edington edited the AD- VANCE for two successive years. We are glad to note that he is in favor of the move. Fairbanks, Ind., Jan. 24, 1915. MR. CARL N. MILLER, Editor Normal Advance, Terre Haute, Ind. Dear Mr. Miller: I have just read the Jan- uary number of THE NORMAL ADVANCE and I Wish to commend you for the movement you have afoot to change the ADVANCE from a monthly to a weekly paper. As an alumnus of the I. S. N. S. and one-time circulation manager of the school paper, I am always in- terested in each issue of the ADVANCE. But your editorial in the January number, Which I 'have referred to above, is in my opinion the most interesting article that has appeared in the school paper this year. And it is more 132 THE NORMAL ADVANCE than interesting. It is hopeful. It is true. It strikes a note that I have long desired to hear. This movement should, and I firmly believe it will, receive the hearty co-operation of the entire editorial staff, the board of control, and the patrons of the paper. I have faith enough in the progressive spirit of the Old I. S. N. to believe that the change can and will be made. And once it is made the only question the editors will be called on to answer will be: ttWhy didnlt you think of it soonerW The reasons you have submitted, for the change are good. The argument is sound. The request sane and practical. But there are many good reasons that you failed to mention in your brief editorial. Chief among these are the following: First. A weekly paper could carry a column of positions-to-be-had, and could advertise lost and found articles. Relieve the overcrowded Bulletin Board. Second. An excellent opportunity would be afforded for worthy students of English to get some of their work before the public-a won- derful stimulus for elfort. Third. The influence that a weekly paper would have in developing more genuine school spirit and a Vital interest in the school life would be far reaching. This, I am sure, would be true in regard to class meetings, athletics and the Y. W. and Y. M. C. A. work. I am writing this that you may know my views in regard to the proposed change. Yours very truly, H. F. CARMICHAEL. Indiana Club House, Bloomington, Feb. 1, 1915. Dear Miller: I have just re-read your edi- torial in the J anuary number of the ADVANCE and am hearing favorable comment on it from several alumni here. I think you have itstarted something? Your rea- sons form changing the ADVANCE from a monthly to a weekly are good, and I can see no damaging evidence or any important argu- ments on the contrary. I have been watching the working of the orderly system by which a four-sheet daily is turned out here at the uni- versity by the line co-Operation of students and the English department. If I mistake not7 the English department at I. S. N. S. still oEers a course in which news writing is consid- ered. Such a course, I think, should be popu- lar in this age when the daily newspaper is so predominating an influence in our daily life. It has been my experience that the English department is always willing and ready to co- operate with the ADVANCE staff and I see no reason why English work could not be made increasingly more interesting by requiring feature stories, news stories and the like from classes for weekly publication. Without much thought, I feel sure that great possibilities lie latent along this line, the details of which would of course need to be worked out care- fully. I hope youlll succeed in your plan for a better ADVANCE. I Yours, H. E. STORK. Montgomery, 1nd,, Feb. 8, 1915. MR. CARL N. MILLER; Editor T he Normal Advance, Terre Haute, Ind. Dear Mr. Miller: In the editorial columns of the current number of THE NORMAL ADVANCE I notice that you voiced your sentiments in favor of changing THE NORMAL ADVANCE to a weekly paper. Now, Mr. Miller, permit me to say that I am heartily in favor of such a move and I think that I can speak for a great many others who receive the ADVANCE while out teaching. As you mentioned the news will be fresher and more interesting and at the same time the re- ceipts from advertising and circulation will certainly be more remunerative. But best of all it will go a long, long way toward putting .THE NORMAL ADVANCE 133 Normal where she belongs among the other leading institutions of learning of this state. I should think that the entire student and alumni body should 'be heartily in favor of this move and should support it liberally. Respectfully, J AMES F. MACKELL. Mr. Editor: In looking over the ADVANCE I find many interesting articles and valuable information. Students look and wait impa- tiently for the next issue of the paper. They want the reports of the social functions, of the class games, of the 7varsity games, of the hape penings of special interest that take place in chapel or in the diiTerent class rooms during the month. Plenty of interesting and valuable material is available every day that ought to be before every student before it gets itstalell or ridicu- lously out of order. Now, you know, that our paper tADVANCEl is our only means through which such material can reach the student body. not appear frequently enough. It is as the stage coach of old, which would carry the mail from town to town getting it there as soon as possible, but not soon enough at that. Just think for a moment how such a means had it been continued would have retarded civiliza- tion. J ust so with our school paper. We have a student body which must be united in order to work echient-ly. Now let us have a paper which will give us Our paper is good, as it is, but it does i news of our school at least once each week. I am sure that the circulation of the paper would be increased three fold should such a change be made. Thus by increasing the number of readers the creation of a common school spirit would be inevitable; the student body would become a homogeneous group; their interests in the various school organizations would be increased, and thus a fairer contribution to the same could be expected. My sympathies go out, especially, to new students. Their chances for getting into the spirit of the school and for knowing just what is being done are limited, indeed. Now, every one knows that we need these students in every tissue of the student body. Let us then edu- cate them to be useful members of this body. Put before them a school paper, at least once each week, through which they can introduce themselves at the earliest possible moment. We need them. Sincerely, ANDREW MERCKER. C. C. 1915. We have also received favorable comments from J. O. Engleman of Decatur, Ill., tMr. Engleman was formerly the principal of the Normal Training Schooll, Mr. E. J . Hemmer, last years editor of the ADVANCE, a goodly por- tion of our F aculty, tthose who have been asked about i0, and last but not least, the Board of Control in its February meeting voted unanimously in favor of the weekly.

In the beginning, God so created the world that old I. S. N. must win all the 1914-15 B. B. games, but the one lost to Wa- bash January 12 and since that was played over there and since ttSchenckie7 had a very, very lame ankle, and since welre going to turn the score around when they come over here, and since it was only 28 to 12, anyhow, we wont say any more about that game. It is just a little dark spot, trying to look as large as possible in comparison to the long string of victories to our credit. We certainly proved that we could come back again for on the next Friday night tJan. 15y we handed Earlharn the short end of a 27-21 score. The game was fast and at times rough, but some mighty good basket ball was played. But, Oh, there wasnlt any of them that could hold the floor with that ttPolyl, game! And there weren7t very many floors that would have held Old Normal either after the game was over. Why, one who didnt know would have thought it to be some old-time revival meeting. But I sup- pose some of you want to hear the particulars. Well right off the reel, things looked pretty blue for us, because those Poly boys put one or two in the basket just to show us that they could. But at the end of the first half, the score was 13 to 10 in favor of Normal, but this just indicates how close it was all through. First Normal ahead, then Poly and this kept the fans on edge all the while. And it was just as close in the second half and more than one fan went home hoarse. When the final time of regular play was called Normal was ahead by one point7 the score being 24 to' 237 and the Normal supporters flocked out on the floor to celebrate. However, the referee finally made it understood that a foul had been called on Boyer, and when Hegarty dropped it in the basket, he tied the score, making it neces- sary to play five more minutes. Then things looked ttblue7t for Normal. Poly forged ahead, but tiSehenckieat dropped in a pretty one from the middle of the floor at the psycho- logical moment, again tying the score, 27 to 27. In the second five minutes, Normal led out safely and it ended with a final score of 35 to 30. All that remains is to do it over again next time. The men, position and field goals: Schenck, 3 .......... F. ........... Brown,3 Knauth7 6 .......... F. ............ Barret,4 Stiffler, 3 ............ C .......... Hegarty, 1 Wann, 2 .. .........

The game was played on both sides in the most sportsman-like manner and-none of the old. bitterness was displayed on either side by players nor spectators. Poly put up a classy article of basket ball and their team work far outclassed that of Normal. But we won. Nor have we yet stopped. On Jan. 29, Franklin went home with the short end of a 19 to 10 score. This game was perhaps the roughest played. tiHapl, Wann and itRuntl, Royer alone escaping injury. For the past two weeks, the team has enjoyed a rest. On Feb. 12 they go to Richmond to stage a itboutll with Earlham and after that a southern trip. They have yet to play Wabash, Butler and the return game with Rose at home. But with the laurels already gained we have a mighty good chance for the secondary state championship and ttherels hopingll, 136 THE NORMAL ADVANCE literary dBrganigatiuna ORA TORIC'AL LEA GUE. On the night of Friday, February the Twelfth, the Daedalian Literary Society re- tained the debating championship of the school by defeating the Ciceronian Society in a de- bate on the subject: c4Resolved, that the pres- ent Democratic Administration has justified its election?7 The winners defended the nega- tive side of the question. ALETHENAI NOTES. The Alethenai Literary Society met the first Saturday in the winter term with twelve mem- bers answering to roll call. The following of- ficers were elected: President, Miss Ruth Alexander; Vice-president, Miss Edith Riner; secretary, Miss Mary Reese; treasurer, Miss Milda Axel; artist, Miss Naomi Coffey. A pro- gram committee was appointed, and the pro- grams presented before the society have been very interesting and instructive. At the beginning of the term a theater party was enjoyed 'by the members and their guests F our new members have been added. Miss Inez McClurg, Miss Vivian Benson, Miss Rubie Curry and Miss Irene Ferguson. Miss Zeipha Burkett and Miss Edith Pro- vines, two former members, have Visited the society. OIOERONIANs. The big event is only one week 01f, but the Ciceronians are feeling confident. One of our members, Mr. Melton, has gone to Chicago to accept a position in one of the High Schools there, and while we are lacking his support, in his stead we have the help of Mr. Haney. This Haney is a brother of the renowned Oscar and bids fair to follow in his footsteps. Many of the Ciceronian Alumni will be back for the debate, but perhaps not as many as there would be, were it to be held on Saturday night, instead of Friday night. But while we are not at all superstitious, since Saturday is the 13th day, perhaps it will be better that it is to be held on Friday night. We shall at least feel that way in case I DAEDALIANS. At the beginning of the winter term, the Daedalian Literary Society changed their time of meeting from Saturday morning to Wednesday evening. The first meeting was held Wednesday, J an- uary 13, in the Public Library. All the mem- bers were present. The new officers were in- stalled. Paddock now holds the chair, Sigler leads in the parlimentary drill, Knauth, as chaplain, gives the opening talk, and Lock- wood keeps the minutes of the meeting. The society has again taken up the literary phase of its work. The members of the de- bating team and others have announced them- selves as candidates for the teams of the inter state debate. PHILOMATHEAN. The Philomathean Literary Society has been holding its regular meetings each Saturday morning. The programs have been given en- t thusiastically before a full membership. On Saturday, January 23, Miss Voris gave an interesting review of ttThe Half-way House? On Saturday, February 6, ccThe Queenis Quairf by Maurice Hewlet, was reviewed by Miss Helen Briggs. It was very entertaining. Special music and current events were fea- tures of every program. THE NORMAL ADVANCE 137 THE TROJAN LITERARY SOCIETY. The Trojan Literary Society has been having some very interesting programes this term, but the greater part of its energy has been devoted toward the big debate of the Society to be held on Thilrsday, February 11. TWO new and promising members were added to the Society this term. Both are taking public speaking this term and are sure to be a big addition to the Trojans. They are J . L. Stark and Estel McIntire. GERMAN CLUB. Each Wednesday afternoon finds an inter- ested and select audience to take part in the program for the German Club. Mr. Mutterer entertained the members at his home on the hrst Wednesday of the term, Where a victrola concert was enjoyed. Neutrality has been strictly observed dur- ing the month, since Miss Guppy devoted one meeting to the reading of Alfred Noyesl splen- did plea for peace, ttThe VVine-Pressf7 and Mr. Mutterer read aloud at another meeting some of the types of war-poems that have appeared from time to time in the magazines since the outbreak of the war. The club has taken up the reading of Wagnerls ttTannhauserf, and all members and friends of the club Who are interested in the opera are invited to come to the meetings and hear Mr. Muttererls reading and explanation. Does not all experience show that in the long run it is easier to be than to seem-to acquire power than to hide the lack of it?

For awhile, the fate of the class organization could be compared to a small ship out on the rough sea, surrounded by perils and hardships. But 10, thanks to the ability of her pilots and eaptain, the grand old ship re- turned. Many were the anxious ones, waiting on the shore, hoping against hope that the angry sea would be robbed of its victim. The glad news of the survival of the organization came :to the class at the big meeting held on February the 3rd, in room 13-12. It was there that President John Koch announced that the chosen committee had laid the wishes of the class before the Faculty in such a logical man- ner concerning the disorganization, that that lofty body decided to allow the old ship to sail on its course. Who says that fate is not kind? Certainly not the College Course. The further purpose of the meeting on Feb. 3rd, was the election of the commanders of the vessel for the winter term. The following sailors were Chosen: Andrew Mercker .................. President Maize Elliott ................ Vice-President Minerva Payton ................... Secretary J ohn Hentlerson .................. Treasurer Walter Shriner ...................... Editor Katherine Flaharty ................... Artist Henry Knauth ............. Athletic Captain Hilda Hathaway. . .Chairman of Social Com. Ralph Schenk. . .Member of Board of Control The class will have a social stunt before the close of the term, and the Chairman of the SO- cial Committee predicts a great time and lots of eats, so the Treasurer will have no trouble in collecting the necessary funds. There is no doubt whatever that the dazzling splendor of this coming Exposition will make, the bashful Sephomore, or the proud J unior, or the dignig fied Senior blink his eyes like a toad in a hail- storm. The College Course Seniors have decided to have their pictures for the Annual taken in caps and gowns, which is entirely proper for the future Presidents of our nation and Pro- fessors of our Universities to do. Four years ago these sailors started with the slogan: Itls a long, long way to graduation, But my heartls right there. THE JUNIORS.

A. has been very good but it should be better. Men, you should come out to these meetings because it takes you to make them a success. Boost the Y. M. C. A. Y. W. 0.A. During the past month the Young Women,s Christian Association has held its regular meetings, Which were very interesting, speak- ers were Mr. Richmond 0f the Presbyterian Church; Mrs. J . J . Schlicher, Who gave an in- teresting travel talk illustrated by post card views, Hilda Hathaway, WhO read Henry Van Dykezs story, ttThe Mansionf and Miss Anne COX. The second week in February, our speaker is to be Miss Julia Kipp 0f Aligarth, India. She has spent a number of years there, and though traveling in the interest 0f the board of the Methodist Church, has consented to tell the girls some interesting stories of her eX- periences. She Will exhibit an Indian costume, and Will sing some Indian songs. Friday evening, February fifth, the two as- sociations held their joint receptions in the rooms on the third floor. There was a good at- tendance in spite of the miserable weather, and the various ctfamiliesh had an old-fashioned good time, playing games and becoming ac- quainted. Howe7er it be, it seems to me, aTis only noble to be good. Kind hearts are more than coronets, And simple faith than Norman blood. e-Temzyson. THE NORMAL ADVANCE 143 10ml ant glumm' E. J. Hemmer Visited a ttFriendi, in West Terre Haute Saturday and Sunday, January 30 and 31. i S. Forest Bowers, a student here last term, is now attending the Normal School at Kala- mazoo, Michigan. InformationeNo fight after the first Rose Poly game. E. R. Giltner, 98, is the assistant principal of New York City Teachers7 Training School. He is also teaching history at that place. George E. Burget, C. C. 14:, is a laboratory assistant in the Physiological Laboratory at Chicago University, and is doing graduate work. 7 The Fifth Congregational District Teach- ers, Association will meet in the Normal school building, probably some time the last of Febru- ary. Arrangements may be made for the I. S. N. students to attend some of these meetings. Born, to Mr. and Mrs. Homer Reed of Laramie, Wyoming, recently, a daughter, Kathryn Jean. Mrs. Reed was formerly Miss Anna Cole, 706. Mr. Reed is a professor of philosophy in the University of Wyoming. Edna Barnard spent the week-end, Feb; 5-8, with home folks. C. E. Melton has quit school to accept a high school position in East Chicago. Miss J ennie McMuHin, 705, was married last September to Mr. Glen Turner at Madison, Wis. They are both studying library research work. Mr. Turner is intending to take a law course. i C. Truman Gray, i02, is teaching in the De- partment of Education in the University of Texas, which is at Austin. Victor Miller, 05, C. C. 712, who has been doing graduate work in English for the last two years in Chicago University, will return to Normal in the spring to take up his old position as an assistant in the English depart- ment. Doyne Kunce7 C. C. 14, is now supplying in the science department of Wiley High School. E. H. Drake, ,94, has been superintendent of the Elkhart schools since 1906, and has brought the schools 11p to a high efficiency. Chester Ziaehiel, 708, who was noted for- his singing ability while in Normal and has taught a few years at Anderson, has finished the law course at Chicago University and is now practicing in Indianapolis. Miss Emun Barnes Visited her parents at Roachdale, Saturday and Sunday, J anuary 23 and 24. Joseph Fagan, 97, is serving his ninth year as superintendent of schools at Bedford. He has a number of I. S. N. graduates on his teaching force Miss Cecil Kelso has been out of school for several days on account of illness. The Geography department has recently re- ceived a very interesting set of specimens, showing the development of animal life from the one celled animals of the very earliest times to the development of the human being A committee of the State Teachers Asso- ciation has prepared a pension bill which is now before the State Legislature. The faculty of the Indiana State Normal School is in- cluded in the provisions of the bill. B. F. Moore, i841, superintendent of the Muneie schools and Thomas W. Records, 797, principle of the Garfield High School, Terre Haute, are members of the committee. Miss Naomi Coffey was called home Febru- ary 2, on account of the illness of her father. Lenora .Pound, 537, who has been teaching in Terre Haute this winter, died J anuary 25, at the Union Hospital after a weeks, illness. 144- Miss TeluI-ah Robinson 0f the Training School recently visited the State Legislature. She gave a very interesting and instructive talk to the seventh and eighth grades in re- gard to the sessions which she attended. We believe that the Llamarada should pre- sent Charlie Bell with a gold medal for con- stancy. He certainly is loyal to his sorority. Miss Audrey Baumgardner spent the week- end, J an. 23-24, in Clinton. Misses Elsie Beit and Bess Kerber have been supplying in the city schools. Misses Louise and Helen Cooper visited their home in Logansport, Feb. 6-7. Miss Helen McKeever is teaching at Mt. Rose School in the place of Miss Cecil Unison i07, who has been suffering from a severe at- tack of appendicitis. Miss Edith Provines, i141, spent a recent week-end with Terre Haute friends. Miss Mary Engie, 13, who is teaching the fourth grade at Carlisle, was in this city Satur- day, to do some reference work in the Normal library. We are afraid that most of us do not appreciate the fact that our library is one of the best reference libraries in the Middle West. Beginning Feb. 10, the girls inter class basketball games will begin. The admission is ten cents, and all the girls of the school are 'urged to come. You know, girls, that since the admission to the Varsity gaves has been so high, each of the fellows realizes that to take his best girl to a basketball game in proper style makes a hole in his pocketbook about the size of a weeks board. So if you have not seen a good game for some time, here is your chance to satisfy your longing. We think that Miss Schweitzer should see that Ruth Alexander spends less of her time in the company of Jim tGymi. Miss Dorothy Butler, who has been seriously iii7 is again in school. Miss Bader was unable to keep her physical training classes in the training school and they are now in charge of Miss Louise Giilum. THE NORMAL ADVANCE It sure ttlooked goodii to see Ruth Harrisis ,14, familiar face in the gymnasium the other day. Miss Dorothy Roberts has recovered from a sprained ankle. Mr. Clifford Blackman missed a few days of school on account of illness. Yes, and we must not forget to mention that Charlie Burton had an ttawfuw bad cold. The girls certainly missed them. ,If Prof. Hathaway finds his light bill too large, we might enlighten him. You cannot blame daughters for forgetting 4tsometimes3i Miss Lillian Davis, 13, who is teaching departmental history and physiology at Car- lisle, was in Terre Haute, Saturday, Feb. 6. Miss Myrtle E. Tinkham, 711, now is teaching in Brawley, Cal. Miss Bonsall 0f the Mathematics Department of the Training School was called home Friday, Feb. 5, on account of the illness of her niece. Miss Stibbins, 12, of Monroe City is in Tulsa, Okla, teaching the fourth grade. Miss Daisy Shields spent Saturday and Sun- day, Jan. 30 and 31, in Sullivan . Have you noticed Charlie Burtonis blue shirt. We do not know whether he is thinking of running for office or if it is just because Esther Ray likes light blue. William L. Conner, 14, who is in Crystal F alls, Mich., went out hunting not long ago and met a pack of wolves. Those who know Will best can imagine the details of the pic- ture. Miss Dorotha Coffa recently entertained her mother from Newport, Ind. When a young man in the Practice I Class was asked how many spring beauties he saw on his trip to the country training school one snowy day, he seriously answered, ccOnly onelii Misses Maude Milner and Ethel Meighen went to their home in Riley for the weekend, Feb. 6 and 7. Misses Pfaifenberger and Mac were in Terre Haute, Feb. 6, for the Omega dance. tx THE NORMAL ADVANCE We are afraid that Napoleon Bonapartets namesake, N. B. Hansen, does not tttake afteIJ7 the illustrious F rench commander in his power of observation. Miss Letha Houchin went to Dana. Feb. 6 and 7. t We always knew that Cliff Blackman was a heart smasher, but we never thought he would have the 4tnervett to ask another girl to 145 Witness so gruesome a sight as ttThe Girl I Left Behind Me75 in five parts. ttRead Torots Waldelf7 tfrom Lois J ane Shirleyts note 100010. We wonder if she ever . found the author. Miss Ethel Parker, 713, Who is teaching at Clinton, was shopping in Terre Haute, Feb. 6. Miss Anna Rojahn spent the week-end, Feb. 6 and 7, at her home in Brazil. Father enthroned on High! Humbly Thy children cry, Send Peace on Earth! May Peace, Prosperity, Fill earth from sea to sea, May mankind bend the knee, In fear of Thee! May Earth 110 more rehearse Warhs songs of crime and curse. Oh, make war cease!

Send us Peace W 146 THE NORMAL ADVANCE Exchanges We note with interest that The Anchor, ' Hope College, in Michigan, has recently changed from a monthly paper to a weekly. In reply to an objection offered to the change, the editor says: ttW'e agree that there is now not so much opportunity for the publication of literary material as there was formerly, but we find, on the other hand, that the subscription of both students and alumni has greatly in- creased, since the change, proving that the plan has the desired effects? We wonder if it is really true that the literary department need be neglected. Could not as much good literary material be placed in four weekly issues as was published in one monthly issue CHINA. That the great Chinese Empire has arisen from her long sleep, thrown aside her night robes, becoming to an empire, and has put on her morning garb of republicanism, is evi- denced by the way she is handling her school problem. Compulsory education is being in- augurated. After a new census and a redivision of the school districts all children above eight- years old will be required to attend classes reg- ularly.eEw. From the St. J ohnls Echo we learn also that the Boy Scout movement has begun in China and in a comparatively short space of time has made considerable progress. The School Review gives some directions to high school students for study which may ap- ply even to Normal students. 1. Study away from interruption. Have a definite place for study where you wont be in- terrupted. 2. Concentrate. Put your attention on your work. That is, dont let your mind wander to what people are saying, to look out of the win- dow, to think of other things. In other words, concentration helps study. 3. Get regular study habits. Have a defi- nite time for study. Make up your mind always to have the same time for your work and in the end you will get the habit so that work will be easier. 4. Reason about it. Read the lesson over as a whole, then try to pick out the important points in each paragraph. A well-written par- agraph has one topic. Do not try to learn everything in the lesson, but pick out the chief things and relate the minor topics to them. It is a good plan to underscore the most important sentence in each paragraph, but donlt under- score four or live sentences. Too much under- scored is worse than no underscoring. Next make out a list of the most important topics in the lessons. Then, having Closed your book, try to give the most important facts about these topics out loud, or write out the material on paper. Do not open your book for help if you cannot recall a topic. Do the best you can until you have been over the whole lesson. Then open your bool; and see what you have failed to re- call. y a. Review often. If you can, study your lesson at two dilferent times, that is, study it at night and review it in the morning before going to class. Men who have studied the way the mind works tell us this review helps one to remember. 6. ,Recite and review again. Repeating what you know and review are the most im- portant parts in mastering any material whether a rule in mathematics, a topic in his- tory7 or a principle in science. It is a good plan to review hard topics from week to week. THE NORMAL ADVANCE . 147 7. itWill to learn? Finally, make up your 4 mind that you can learn. It has been found from experience that When people have the 4cWill t0 learnf the mind Will work much-more easily. Do not say, itI cantt learn it. I am not interested in it? When you get this attitude it is almost impossible to do successful work. Most of our exchanges have more 01' less comment to oifer on the war. The following explains the origin: Modem Diplomacy, 07 How they IVar Started. Said Austria: ttYou murderous Serb, You the peace of all Europe disturb; Get down on your knees, , And apologize, please, Or 111 kick you off my front curb?7 Said Servia: ttDontt venture too far, Or 1311 call in my uncle, the Czar; He wont see me licked, Or insulted or kicked, So you better leave things as they are?7 Said the Kaiser: iiPush in that Serbts face, It Wi11.teach him to stay in 'his place; If Russia says boo, 17m in the game too, And right quickly W611 settle the case? The Czar said: ccMy cousin, the Kaiser, W7as always a good advertiser; He7s determined to fight, And insists he is right, But soon hetll be older and wiser.,, uFor forty-four summers? said France iiI have waited and watched for a chance T0 wrest Alsace-Lorraine From the Germans again, And now is the time to advance? Said Belgium: g4When armies immense Pour over my boundary fence, 1,11 awake from my nap, And put up a scrap Theytll remember a hundred years hence? Said J ohn Bull: icThis Iere Kaiserts a slob, And 7is word isn7t worth ,arf a bob, tIf I lets Belgium suffer Pm a blank bloomint duffery So ?ere goes for a crack at is nob? Said Italy: tiI thin 1711 stay out Till I know What the row is about Its a far better plan Just to sell my banan, Till the issue is plain beyond doubt? Said our good Uncle Samuel: ciI swaow I had better keep aout of this raow, For with Mormons and Niggers, And Greasers, I figgers, I have all I kin handle just nowWeEaz. THE PSYCHOLOGY 0F DOING THINGS Somebody said that it couldnt be done, But he, With a chuckle, replied, That cimaybe it couldntt, but 'he would be one, Who WOLildift say so till head tried? So he buckled right in, with a trace of a grin On his face. If he worried, he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldrft be done-and he did it Somebody scoffed: iiOh, youtll never do that; At least, no one ever has done it? But he took off his coat and he took off his hat, And the first thing we knew hetd begun it; With a lift of his chini and a bit of a grin, Without any doubting or quiddit; He. started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn,t be done-eand he did it. There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done, There are thousands to prophesy failure; There are thousands to point out to you, one by one, The dangers that wait to assail you; But just buckle in with a bit of a grin, Then take off your coat and go to it; J ust start in to sing as you tackle the thing That iicannot be done,,,eand you,11 do it. r-Em. a: 148 The following is from an editorial from ciThe Radicalia from the American College of Physi- cal Education on the effect of mental disturb- ances on the body. Now, this body, this machine, is regulated by a nervous system, and that nervous system is by far the most wonderful and delicate thing in the world. It doesnit like to be disturbed, and When it is, the Whole body is thrown into confusion and distress. If you have ever had a dentist insert into some mysterious cavity one of those tiny stilettos that they employ With such easy nonchalance, you have not yet forgotten how sensitive the nerves are. Now excitement, bother, worrye-they act on the nerves in the same way, only they act on a different set of nerves not so closely associated With consciousness. We have all seen a cobweb. Suppose'you catch with a needle point one lit- tle strand of the cobweb and pull it. Then every fibre of the cobweb Will shake. And so it is With the nervous system. If any portion of it is disturbed, the Whole structure is thrown into disruption and the results may be far reaching and disastrous. Any mental disturbance upsets all the tythms of the body and produces abnormalities of function ranging all the way from slight nervousness or headache to sudden death. The only safety is in cultivating the power of calmness. Only When the mind is in a state of mobility can the body be right. The healthy, Wholesome, significant personality is always Work is not manis punishment. THlil NORMAL ADVANCE calm, not because he is healthy7 so much as healthy because he is calm. Once gained, all problems are solved. The cares of every day, the bursts of irritability, the attacks of indigestion, the liurries of anger, envy and jealousywall these you drop as a man throws aside a tattered, outworn garment. You look about you at the crawling, querulous bipeds in their mad, frenzied scramble for peace and pelf-you look at them With a won- dering but kindly consideraton. What is it all about? Supposing the other fellow made that sale, and you close the commission? Supposing hubby lost the commission and you cant have that new gown you have been teasing him about? Supposing the children do get into mischief, and maid goes 0E in the middle of the month? Donit worry, keep your calmness. Make a joke of it. Because if you donlt keep calm, you wont breathe fully and you wont digest your food, and your blood wont go around as rap- idly and regularly as it ought, and it Will get all loaded With poisons too nasty and ugly to be talked about on a polite page like this, and your words Will get j angled, andwwell, a dozen other evil thngs Will happen to the people who dont keep calm. It is all true. Only When the mind is calm Will either the body or the mind do its work prOperly. So, if you would be strong, healthy, Wise, beautiful, or any of the other things that we all want to beadevelop the power of calm- ness.

Slowly. but surely. has the close of another year approached, sending many days of joy. as well as trial and tribulation, into the inevitable past. Nearer and nearer to the goal of our College career we are carried. and though we have enjoyed these days, we would not, if we could. have them return again. We are anxious to go into the future, to solve new problems, to meet new difficulties. and show to the world our true worth and character. To our graduating seniors, we, the remaining members of the class give our heartiest congratulations and sincerest wishes for their future success. They have proven themselves worthy of our esteem and reverence by mastering their school work, Yet, the most important things are not the victories, nor defeats. not the struggles, though not all of these will ever be forgotten, but' the elements of character. the resultant of strong self reliant manhood or womanhood that have been formed, and which will influence the lives of others. We give them our blessing as they go forward into their different walks of life, where they will maintain the standard of the class and their Alma Mater. THE SENIORS. The year 1914-1915 has found the seniors unusually active, not only laboring faithfully upon the tasks imposed by the faculty, but also lending their support to the athletic and social life of the schoolr During the fall term the seniors proved their ability as entertainers at a dance in the Normal Gym. This was the first entertainment of this nature to be given under the new faculty ruling and it was a decided success. Members of the faculty and the other classes were guests. It was during this term that the inter-class basket ball games were played and although the seniors were unable to land first place, the finish found them in the runner-up position. . The winter term found the seniors less inclined to social activity. their minds were busy trying to divine the characteristic step which would enable them to travel safely through the gloomy Wilderness of lesson plans abounding in Practice I and II. The spring came on bringing many new members and likewise many new problems to the class. The whole class entered into the social and political problems, which confronted them, and some of . the debates Which took place brought the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere up to summer heat. The class is now looking forward to the greatest commencement in the history of the. Normal School with a feeling that the best way to show its appreciation of the confidence placed in 1t by the faculty, is to go out into the profession and do something worth while. JUNIORS. The junior class has been the most enthusiastic class in Normal during the past year. they having carried their class spirit with them from the sophomore class of 1914, This may also be accounted for by the spirit shown by the leaders. In the fall term the following officers were elected: Russell Rob- inson, President: Fred Phillipot, Vice-President'Daphne Chunn, Secretary; Napoleon Henson. TreaSe urer: Charles Dalton and Claude French, Oratorical League; Athletic Captain, Fred Phillipot; Board of Control. Paul Merchant. This term the class gave a party and a picnic. In the winter term Luther Lockwood was President: Claude French. Vice-President; Daphne Chunn, Secretary: Evelyn Brown, Treasurer; Ernest Michael. Class Artist. The first annual junior dance was given this term. The spring term officers are: President, Claude French; Vice-President, .Daphne Chunn; Secre- tary, Alfred Myers; Treasurer, Luther Lockwood; Editor, Ethel Ray. The plans for the annual recep- tion for the seniors are well under way. During the entire year the junior class has stood above every other class in athletics, the faculty excepted on account of age, respect, etc. ' SOPHOMORES. During the past year the sophomores have performed their part in the school work loyally, and with a spirit that has won the esteem of the faculty and upper classmen. In the fall term the sophomores were unusually active. Early in the term they proved their political ability by electing competent class officers and by selecting as a motto, 9A Sophomore Class With a Sophomore Spirit? In athletics they ran the juniors a close race for hrst place in the inter-class basket ball tournament. In social aFfairs they distinguished themselves. The class parties, with the faculty and other classes as guests were very successful. At the beginning of the winter term the class increased in size, but maintained the same high stand- ard in the class rooms and in athletics. that was established during the fall term. They maintained their social standing by giving a combined party and dance at which everybody present was entertained. At the opening of the spring term many new faces were seen in the class, and many familiar faces Were absent. Yet the Sophomores were well represented on the track and baseball teams. It can truly be said of the Sophomores that they did their duty to the best of their ability.

W THE ALETHENAI LITERARY SOCIETY. The Alethenai Literary Society was organized in the fall term, 1906.. It was organized as a debating society but its membership and interests have been broadened untll hterature, debating. oratory, and anything which may forward culture, rehnement, and educatlon are now made the linportant factors in its work. The big event of the year was the annual banquet which was given on Saturday night, May 1, at the Hotel Deming. THE CICERONIAN DEBATING SOCIETY. The Ciceronian Debating Society was organized in 1905 by twelve members for the purpose of giving training in public speaking and debating. Choosing always for members young men of high standards, both as to morals and school work, the society has always been an important factor in I. S. N. circles. All are looking forward to Ciceronian night. June 12, at the Hotel Deming, not so much for the feast as for the reunion of old members. DAEDALIAN LITERARY SOCIETY. The Daedalian Literary Society was organized in 1908 for the purpose of making its members more proticient in public speaking, debate, and the use of parliamentary law. It has conducted its work in a most successful manner since that time. This year the society retained the debating championship of the school by defeating its challenger by a vote of two to one. The annual boat ride was held on May the twenty-ninth. PHILOMATHEAN. The Philomathean Literary Society was organized in 11908 by Professor Lardner. Each year some phase of literature and art has been chosen for study. This year the subject was the modern English novel, a continuation of last yearis work. The most important social event of the year was the annual play, TennysOIfs hThe Princess:U During the spring term some of our old members returned and new ones were taken in. They are Nannie B. Dunn, Marie Hazelrigg, Katherine Tracy, and Sylvia Metsker. THE FORUM. The Forum has experienced one of the most successful years Of its history. Six of the 01d members were present at the first roll call and during the year the society elected to membership Brown, Shotwell, Bell, Lapping, Turman, Bailey, Eckerly and White. The society now occupies its clubhouse on North 7th St. It is the general sentiment of the Forum that social affairs be the chief aim of the s0c1ety. The Forum annual banquet will be held Monday evening, June 14th, at the Elks Club. THE TROJAN LITERARY SOCIETY. The Trojans have successfully completed their first year. They were organized for the purpose of developing self-contidence. mental power. and personality. Their work consisted chiehy of debating and parliamentary drill. As a result of their thorough work, they were represented on the Inter-State Debating teams by Messrs. Shannon, Riehl and Leech. The chief entertainment of the year was an elaborate dinner at the Normal Cottage and a theatre party at the Grand. DER DEUTSCHE VEREIN. Der Dentsehe Verein wurde im Jahre 1906 V011 Herrn Professoren Mutterer und Weng und den deutschen Studenten gestiftet. Die Absicht des Vereins ist, die deutsehe Unterhaltungssprache unter den Studenten zu beffirdern. Vortriige nber die deutsche Litteratur, das deutsehe Volk, und deutsche Sitten werden dzmn und wann gehalten. Deutsche Volkslieder werden auch gelernt. Alle deutsche Stu- denten der Schule haben freien Eintritt in den Verein und sind immer willkommen. Der Verein tagt jeden Mittwoch Nachmittag um halb vier Uhr. ST. THOMAS AQUINAS CLUB. The St. Thomas Aquinas Club, which is composed of the Catholic students Of the Indiana State Normal School, held meetings every week during the past year. The Club took for its study K1The Ox- ford Movement,U and gave practically the entire year to it. Some attention was given to current events. The students also enjoyed social events at the homes of Misses Alma Roscoe and Catharine Wisely. Miss Mary E. Moran gave a most interesting talk on the Suffrage Question, explaining that the Catholic Church, 4:. such, does not have an attitude on this question.

The Alpha Chapter of the VVomeIfS League was founded in September. 1899. by Beth Parker, tKidderi, now of Alexandria, La. It was one of the first two chapters to be founded at Indiana State Normal School. ATHLETA. The Athleta Section was founded in the year of 1904, with the following charter members: Myrtle Seybold, Pearl Hilton, Jess Keyes, Jess Brown, Leola Moore, Rena Cating, Elizabeth Garrot, Agnes White, Eva Black, Bess Crawford, Mabel Paine, Clara Lane, Mary Brown. In 1913 an organization was formed by the city Alumnae girls of the Athleta's, which meets once a month. Annual affairs of the Athleta are Valentine Dance, February 14, and Pieme. May 30. EPSILON DELTA. The Epsilon Delta section was organized in the fall of 1910, and since then has been gradually growing. At present there is a strong and active membership of about fifty. The officers for this year were: Leader, Hallie Farmer; Secretary, Blanche Taylor, and Treasurer, Edna C. Taggart. GAMMA GAMMA. The Gamma Gamma section was organized in 1902 with a membership of twelve girls, and has been active ever since, the membership now being nearly two hundred. Mrs. Arthur Cunmngham and Mrs. Allyn Adams are honorary members of the society. The partrons of the section this year are Prof. and Mrs. Louis J. Rettger. KAPPA KAPPA. Here's to the Kappas both near and far. H ereis to the Kappas wherever they are. A number of social events have been given by the Kappas this year and a number of new girls have been taken Into the seetlon. The largest party of the year was given on Valentine's eve at the home of Miss Mildred Hanley of Ohio Boulevard. A number of rush parties were given before each pledge day, and regular meetings have been held every two weeks at the homes of the members. LLAMARADA. The Llamarada section was organized in 1904 by a group of fifteen girls. The section was named by Mr. Wlselyi The section, among various other entertainments, gives a dance each term. MU ZETA. The Mu Zeta section was founded October. 1905, with a membership of eighteen, with Emma Abbett leader, Elisabeth Lindsay, reporter, and Pearl Ellis, secretary and treasurer. At first only girls With musical talent and training were admitted, for that was what the section stood for, but, although it is still a musical section, some are taken in who do not have this talent. At the beginning of the fall term, 1914, there was a membership of six and many new members have been added until now the member- ship is twenty-two. OMEGA. The Omega Section, organized in the fall of 1900, is one of the two oldest sections of the VVOmenis League. The Omega has at presenta strong and active membership and a faithful body of Alumni, who help and take active part 111 all social functions given throughout the year. PSI THETA. The present Psi Theta section, traces its beginning to the sorority known as the Zeit Geist Sorority VVthh was organlzed 1n the Nineties. The name was changed to Psi Theta during the summer of 1907. This section has always been active since its first organization and to this day has kept the high stand- ard which was established when the section was first organized.

S. igasdaet 315311 ROM the outside the season of 1914-1915 does not, appear as suc- cessful as do past seasons, but. 011 a second look, one sees that the Schedule was a very difficult one, as it included games with practically all the secondary schools of the state. and out of thirteen games I. S. N. won seven. Early in the fall the inter-elass games were held resulting in the Juniors winning the vhampionship. But alas for the braggarts! Feel- ing very ehesty over their cham- pionship the Juniors felt them- selves qualified to issue a haughty challenge to the Faculty. The Faculty team. cmnpesed of such physical and mental giants as Sehockel, Higgins, Lauhaeh, Sink, Breitwieser and Wrestphal, and assistant Bowles, humbled those .tGERMANY KOCH Manager But the inter-elass series was a success in every way and much good basketball material was de- veloped. The 'arsity team was already pretty well determined since all the old men, with the ex- ception of one guard, were back in school. But there was a world of material from which to choose u HAPP WANN.Capt. and Royer who had played some Guard last season vas the successful man. This made the line-up: Knanth and Schenek. forwards; Stifflel', center, and XVann and Royer, guards. t For reserve forces there were, Shi'iner, Swanagan, Leech, Robinson, Loekweed and Mark and later in the season, Rutherford. Lollar and Edwards. With this line-up we proceeded to h'wade right iIW from the start. Perhaps the most notable event of the season and the thing most worth I'ejeieing over was the resumption of athletic relations with Rose Polytechnic. This will he an advantage to both schools and since peace agreements were signed by practically 'every student in each wwr imamiu'l'imttintiiiimiriimn chesty little Juniors.

So far as basketball went, both schools broke even. Normal won the first by the score of 35 to 30 and Poly won the second, 29 to 19. The first game was perhaps the closest and most interesting game of the season. It kept a large crowd on its feet with excitement all the time and required two extra five minute periods to decide the tie. This, however, seemed to be the high tide. A week later the Normal team defeated Franklin, but after that things went bad until the finish. This year I. S. N. Will lose three men who have done much for college basket- ball, Stiffler, Knauth and Capt. 117mm. Two of them have played a prominent part for the last three 01' four years and they will be sadly missed from athletic circles. RUNT ROYER Guard Normal 57, Merom 7eDecembor 4.

The varsity nine is the same as last yearls with the exception of Lostutter in center field and Felhny at short. These men, however, played on the summer varsity team and so do not feel entirely like new material. Bayh and h'Itisselmalrdid not enter school until a little late but were in for most of the important games. Before the season opened work was begun towards resurfacing Parsons Field and it has since been in excellent shape. The boys expressed their appreciation of the new conditions by winning the first three games played at home. Right at the start after losing to Franklin 4 t0 8 they defeated Rose Polytechnic 6 to 5. Then they went over to Danville and returned with a nice big victory of 17 to 4. Under the leadership of Bayh, who had been elected captain, they next defeated DePauw on Parsons Field 10 t0 2 and then went over to Greeneastle and by an error in the last inning were defeated by the close score of 3 t0 2. 9 While the boys have been making several errors in fielding, they are making a splendid batting average. Crim, ttHeinieXi Friedman and Los- tutter have especially been batting well and some. of the others are not far behind. Crim has been doing well in the pitcher's box with Nichols to help him out in pinches. Holt is on the receiving end. ttHeinie and Friedman are. in their old places at third and lirst. Mnsselman is On seeond'with liellniy on short. Bayh and Hogue are in left and right tield. and Lostntter in the center. If they can only keep up at the pace they have started 01d 1. S. N. ought to be well up towards the top at the close of the season. The complete schedule and results of games already played is as follows: April Place Opp. I.S.N.

Why they even had to get a new coach to show the boys how, since Coach VVestphal had his hands full with the baseball men. Professor Sink. 0f the Manual Training department. has been coaching the boys and has proven very capable along this line. A practice meet was arranged with Gartield High School just to show the fellows what they were doing. They had only been practicing ebmt a week and not'regularly then. so they made a very poor showing. Blake, our fast colored sprmt :r, did not run in his usual form, allowing Conover to win the 50. 100 and 220 yard dashes, but won the 440 yards in good style. Stokesberry heaved the shot 39 feet 11 3-4 inches and Weathers won the running broad jump on 19 feet, 1 374 inches. A meet with Rose, Polytechnic was held on May 8. A much better showng was made by the boys as Rose won the ineet by only the narrow margin of two points, 49 to 47, and even then on a condition for if Coaehys protest should be. allowed, the meet will be ours by eight points, 52 to 44. Blake, our colored sprinter, was the individual star of the meet, winning out in all four events in which he was entered, the 1110 yards, 220 yards, 440 yards and the half mile. Jones and Stonebnrner pulled a pleasant little surprise by sprintingr into lirst aml second places for the mile after Heetlwohl of Rose had led practieally'the last three laps.

Next steps to the front Rose Cox, whols so jolly, itFair, fat and fortyl, is no joke, tby gollyl, Yet, nevertheless, she can sprechen the Dutch, And loves a big Dutchman, 011 yes, very much. llmiIIuImummmmum.....u.....m Then there is Kelso, Who owns a big Ingersoll, Come to ttmathll late, his guillotine falls7 So let us suggest, that in figures he shines Computes distance to stars, and the fast flight of time. Mr. ttVicl7 Miller, our most ideal blond, Of girls and tan shoes is famously fond, - On big words and English he fairly dotes, A whole dictionary his brain nicely totes. Perhaps, here in order, F. Mutterer should now come, He makes tiApOllol7 look like a ctbumf, His commanding physique, eyes of beautiful black, And his passion for German, cause our poor brains to rack. Not big in circumference, but mighty of mind, 2cBreitwieser Tommyf who leads the poor blind, T0 sense-perceive quickly, bravely and bold, Crying ttthis student is flunkedfl lo and be- hold! Dr. L. Rettger, term after term, and term after term, Says all peruna, all liver-pills, all remedies burn.

Cox thinks farming divine, Loves tttater-bugsfl cut-wornis, ants, coarse and fine; He soon Wlll qult teaching, this life to pursue To get up with the sun, and quit work with the dew. Along comes, little, ttteeny, weenyh Dr. Hyde, On ttstuii'ology, bugologyf heis the finest of guides, Held rather preach about vermin, than ever to eat; Anopholes mosquitoes, he considers :i treat. Professor Stalker, loves in Egypt to dwell. Preaches Chinese and Persian, never hearing the bell. Stormsat the Syrians, their methods, their aims; Declares the ttState Normal is all that is saneW Mr. VVeng sings one song; it is ttsum, es, est:7 And here you will find him, his very best, best; He conquers the Romans; p 'aises Caeser, the Great, Inattention in chapel, he just simply hates. Gillum, on two wheels, is expert, atis true, Goes so fast, never bows, tthow da do,, His problem, in physics, each day of his life, Is perfection in cycling, amidst the mad strife. Little Miss Cox, snappy, witty and bright, Is loved by all students; in fact their dellght, When angry, however, tther size grows by magic, And her Victims come to an end, sadly tragic. Mr. ctAlll Higgins, dreams ttalgbryl, by night, The way he knows ttX,7 is actually a sight, His only fault is his temperament sleepy, This weather, in school, makes his eyes very ttpeepyfl Behold, here, James Baxter, rotnnd and sassy, Whose hat, shoes, and waistcoat, are all very classy; Loves to road trialsf, And with circles and triangles his spare mo- ment beguiles. ttspecialsli 011 ttleetion and The ttcorrectest-correct77 is Mr. Wisely de- mure, Just the right word, and right tense he se- cures; l4Crazy about grammar and typewriting, too; Fingers the keys, till his spirits turn ttbluefl , Frank Smith Bogardus, knows history by heart. Knows every battle, and general, indeed every part, ttLow tariff, free trade, compensation for labor;7 With ttBogyl7 surely, these will find favor. qVilly McBethil 0111' most fatherly teacher. Talks volcanoes and glaciers, just like a preacher, His only complaint, in life, not hard to deHne, Itls the flight of stairs, he daily must climb. gGood bodiestlis Miss Baileyls problem in life. Her 44gymll students run, jump a horse, play a fife; She advocates play, as well as some work, But beware of her wrath, if either you Shirk. Miss Gladys Botsford, our ttdo, re, 1118,, teacher, Above all hates the voice of a low, rasping, ttscreecherf i She has been dieting days and days, Eats prunes and vater, With a bit of may- ennaise. Miss Conmy, in stitches and cooking, is know- mg; Cools her pics, when the north Winds are blowmg, Her only remedy is g4anti-fat 131118,, For these she must give up, her Iive dollar bills. While praising line hams, behold now our tlBaconfl tho reads all ttreadinlf, right from the ttmakinlji In public ttspeakinif our Baconis a Winner, He says a poor reader is worse than a sinner.

After the other teachers in chapel are soutvd. Charman valks in, shoes nicely treated; His practise students are scared of their life; They would rather meet, a big butcher, knife. In itgymll stunts and fil'e-drills, VVestphal ranks high, IVhen we lose a game, he heaves a great sigh, In size and in stature, he is but, small, But his presence is felt, all thru the halls. E. M. Bruce, has really plenty to eat, And his knowing capacity is hard to beat; However, his wife, is a suffraget strong And makes qu. Bruceyll step right along. Among the young pedagogues, Shockel looms bright, Endowed with 21 divine, intellectual light; Long tramps t0 the woods, to him, sure ap- peal. Next day, we must suffer, his cclong-drawn- out spiel?

If Turman has a hobby, on which he must prate, Itls stOrange lountiy, of early years and Of late; ttPul'ple,7 is all to which he is partial, And in praise of this; all his song he does martial. John Jacob Schlicher is English t CO by birth, His pleasant ttphizll always, indicates mirth; IVhen with his Latin, and ttold verbsl7 hels nicely thru, He hurries t0 Roots, for a dinner, true blue. Clippinger composes, while a student clis- poses, He talks of nature, philosophy, Moses, In fact there is nothing, of which hels afraid, Of courage, wisdom and refinement hels made. Miss Schweitzer now, has a job big as any, How many of you want it ;-not many; She approves parties, clubs and every clean sport, Butt 0111' failings and faults she has to re- port. Miss Rhyan loves cooking, sweeping and such, If she had a husband; but, oh my! not much! Her students all love her, a yard and an inch; From her loved lessons, they never do flinch. Mr. Chas. Roll, in voice deep and loud, Can soon hypnotize a history-bent crowd, He and Lynch confer every day, A college for history, theylll open next May. Misses Marshall, Brown, Cunninghamls satellites, and neler do they frown; Four good varieties, thick, fat and thin; At five dclock, mornings, their work it begins. I Dear readers, with patience, my poem for- bear, For with it, my lessons; they had to share With gtpoetic licensell much freedom I took, Grammar and loglc, I almost ttforsook?a Keating, Darrow and But becoming all serious, now at the end, To my last parting words, most kindly at- tend; We consider these, the best years of our life, Spent with these teachers, thru calm and thru strife.
