The Year Book 1920 Published by the Senior Class Salem State Normal School Sumner Webster Cushing. When influences try to come into your life that tend to prevent the development of a sound body, a clear mind, and a noble character, you will say with the immortal brave, They shall not pass . Sumner Webster Cushing Mr. Cushing was born in Norwell, Massachusetts, December 30. 1879, the son of Webster A. and Amanda Cushing. He was graduated from the Brockton High School and the State Normal School at Bridgewater. In 190:3, after a two years ' course at Harvard University, he received the degree of B. S. He then taught, in successive years, the subjects of science, mathematics, and physical geography in the high schools of Wakefield. Waterbnry. Connecticut, and Providence. While in Providence he studied for his master ' s degree at Brown University, which he later received. In 1907 he became the head of the geography department at the State Normal School, Salem. In addition to his classes in geography in the normal school, he super- vised the work in the training school, made out a course of study for the guidance of the student teachers and the supervisors of the grades, and kept in close touch with the work of the children. His field trips and excursions to industrial plants added greatly to the interest in the subject both to the children and to the students in the normal school. His students will never forget the delightful trips to Devereux Beach, nor the more strenuous excursions in tracing the course of Forest River, He was un- tiring in his plans to present subjects of general interest to the entire school by lec- tures, lantern slides, and motion pictures. In every possible way he strove to make the subject of geography alive and to show its importance in understanding the trend of civilization in a country, and he succeeded in an unusual degree, for his students speak of him as a wonderful teacher. In addition to his work in his own department, he was actively associated with many phases of the school life, especially with the men ' s athletics and with their fraternity — the Kappa Delta Phi — of which he organized the Salem chapter. While he was carrying on so successfully his teaching at the normal school, he did a great deal in scientific study and in teaching elsewhere. In 1907 he attended the summer session at Harvard. The next summer he spent in research work in the Central Plateau of France under the direction of his former professors, W. M. Davis and D. W. Johnson. He devoted the following summer to a study of the coastal feat- ures of Maine, covering about fifteen hundred miles. His statement of the results of his work before the Geological Conference at Harvard led to his securing a Sheldon traveling fellowship from the Harvard Graduate School, so that in 1910-1911, on leave of absence from Salem, he was able to do research work in India. He spent some months in investigation of a special problem in the region of Madras. His report was recog- nized as superior to any previous description of the region, and it was published in several technical bulletins and journals. It gave him an assured position as a profes- sional geographer. In the autumn of 1912, Mr. Cushing was an invited member of the transcontinen- tal excursion of European and American geographers, given by the American Geograph- ical Society of New York. For several successive summers he gave courses in geog- raphy at Columbia University, the University of Illinois, and Miami University at Ox- ford, Ohio; he conducted winter courses at Wellesley College in 1911 and 1912. In 1913 he married Miss Frances B. Deane, who had been closely associated with the normal school, first as secretary and then as teacher of history. The marriage brought to him the devotion and aid of a woman of superior ability. With her help, he not only carried on his work with even greater efficiency, but he Avas able to estab- lish a home whose generous hospitality and inspiration were the joy of many friends. Mr. Cushing served in the Avar as captain in the Military Intelligence Division of the General Staff in Washington from July. 1918 to July, 1919. He assisted in the preparation of military handbooks and monographs giving geographical information for the use of the American Expeditionary Forces in France, and he served on various government committees. These documents were designed to give to the commanding officers all available data concerning their field of operations so that they could lay sound strategical plans and order successful tactical movements, and to assist the offi- 5 oers in the administration of oeeiipied territory, Mr. Pushing showed unusually expert knowledge of the regions occupied by the troops, and he was therefore able to give invaluable assistance in the preparation of the pamphlets. His scientific training and his clearness and conciseness in writing make his work highly important. Upon his return to Salem in September, he resumed his school duties and was also occupied in the preparation of two textbooks. — Human (ieography for nor- mal schools and colleges, and Commercial and Industrial (ieography for junior high schools, in association with Dr. Huntington of Vale: in the supervision of a wall map of Europe, in association with his former teacher. Professor Davis of Harvard; and in the writing of a report upon the teaching of geography in the normal schools of the United States, which was completed for the St. Louis meeting of the Association of American Geographers in December. After a brief illness of two months, which terminated in broncho-pneumonia. Mr. Pushing died February 2! . 1920. Mr. Pushing was a man of a type of which the world will never have too many. He possessed all the instincts of a scholar and a scientist, and he was a teacher of ex- ceptional ability. These facts are too well known to require comment. In a few years, through his untiring devotion to the work to which he gave his life, he had won a national reputation. But those of us who knew him best valued him most highly as a man. He was always and everywhere a gentleman: his politeness was the natural outcome of a kind heart. He was an optimist; he always looked for the best in people, and he never failed to find it. He invariably sought to promote harmonious relations among his associ- ates: he always stood ready to carry his full share of the common burden — and more; he never spared himself, and he never failed to respond to a call to service whether ii were personal, social, or patriotic. He was a man of faith, and his faith found expres- sion in his personal life, in his relations with men. in his works. Counted by years, his was a short life, yet it w as a life of wonderful completeness and of large service. We who were most intimately associated with him have lost a friend, bul he has left us a valuable heritage. — precious memories, an inspiring example, and an influence which will go on in ever widening circles. It is through such lives as his that the teaching profession is dignified and enriched and life itself exalted. Prom -I. Asburv Pitman The number of trained geographers is small. Mr. Cushing combined to an ex- ceptional degree a truly scientific spirit and much experience in studious travel, with a pleasant clearness as a writer, unusual expertness as a teacher, and a warm-hearted sympathy as ;i companion. Prom Professor William M. Davis, Harvard Mi-. ' n-dnng was the most valuable of the members of the staff of the Monograph Section of the Military Intelligence Division. He had an ideal training in all phases of geography. There was no member more faithful and earnest or more ready to do mimic than his share. He was easy to work with, helpful, and inspiring. Prom Ellsworth Hitntinoton, Major, U. S. A. As we review the life of Mr. Pushing, one thing is ill all our thoughts, the com- pleteness of his life, more than is given to most lives to accomplish in twice the span al- lotted him. Education to which under the blessing of this country the paths lie open before lis all was with him constantly sought and freely added upon. Travel ' s op- portunities and eyes of wisdom and appreciation for the great wonders of the many parts of our country and lands far away and different from our own. - travel not for pleasure merely but in search of knowledge. There was thus another satisfaction in the completeness of his experience, the pursuit of scientific truth, then contribution o f it. and a position of recognized worth in the field which he had found so pleasant. As he pursued truth successfully, so he imparted if with skill, in the classroom and on tin 1 printed page, guiding, influencing, molding the minds of the young persons who should j o forth to influence other lives. Added to these accomplishments was the great satis- faction of service for his country. With an intensity of interest in her welfare, he gave unstintingly his all — his very life. In all the ways of life of these few years, he showed the zest thai life may have when lived to the full. Not only was there completeness of experience, but completeness of character,— integrity, high ideals, a belief in the place of religion in life, faithfulness of living, cap- acity for friendship, graciousness of manner, and heartiness in life ' s work and play which betokened the right, clean, loving heart. In his life was unselfish and consecrat- ed devotion not only to the cause of science and of his country, but to the immediate and most intimate relationships of life. So we may say, Here was a man!

The little leaves keep you company, And the birds go singing by. The Lady Moon, in her long white robe Shines a soft Good-night to you; And the star children, all tucked in their beds Wink out from their coverlet blue. II. Rock-a-bye, birdies, up in your cradles, The soft wind will lull you to sleep. Night ' s mantle ' round you. The stars up above you, Mother guarding your slumber so deep. III. Come, little stars, come home, come home, The day will be breaking soon. Come and let mother rock you to sleep In your cradle of the moon. The cradle ' s lined with silver thread And glistens in the sky. Come now, and mother will sing you to sleep With a gentle rock-a-bye. IV. When it is almost supper-time (Li winter long before) The skymother gathers up the sun And gently shuts the door. She wraps him in a blanket cloud And tucks him in so deep; Then kisses him a good night kiss And off he goes to sleep. V. Swinging and swaying, all misty with sleep. The Dream Angel gathers us up with a sweep. And off avc drift to dreamy-land low, So softly and gently we go. Bertha W. Browne, ' 20. 7 Class Officers President. Priscilla .M.

And it is not from strikes, Bolshevists, nor the high ccst of living. It is a danger which threatens not only this generation but future gen- erations in such a M ay that it is a menace to the unusually high standard of our coun- try. The greatest danger comes from lack of teachers! Never has the need of teach- ers been more imperative than it is now. The situat ion has been serious for some time and promises to become worse unless something is done to stimulate interest in the teaching profession. Last year twenty-two per cent of all the teachers in the United States resigned. Ten per cent of those who remained are below standard. Recent figures compiled by the National Education Association indicate that there are one hundred thousand teaching positions without teachers or else supplied with teachers who are not qualified to teach. The situation is bad for the children and equally hard for the teachers now employed. Classes have been doubled up, giving the teach- ers a larger number of pupils than they can attend to, and giving the children only one- half of the instruction and attention that they should have. In New York State alone for some time fifty thousand children were sent home every week because there was no one to teach them. Since the schools opened last September, nine hundred ninety- three teachers have resigned. In New York city, there are two hundred thirty-two thousand children in the elementary schools on part time or double-shift. In Phila- delphia, twenty thousand children are reported to be constantly on half-sessions and a changing group of five thousand were last year without teachers. What is to be done? Measures have already been taken to remedy the situa- tion, but more must be done before we can really accomplish that to which we are now looking forward. Teachers ' wages have been increased and the outlook for a still greater increase is very bright. Teachers are soon going to receive for their work sala- ries in proportion to those received for other kinds of work. Our normal schools are ready to receive students eager to enter the teaching profession, and the schools can al- most positively guarantee positions with a salary comparing well with that in other oc- cupations. The normal school does more than prepare a girl to teach. All of the finest quali- ties a girl possesses are brought out in the course of the work. She gains confidence in her own powers, learns to know children, and becomes a successful leader of groups of children. All these things and more will the normal school do for the girl who wishes to make the most of herself and to choose the finest things in life. 9 r The project method is a phase of work now being tried out extensively in the schools. Professor William II. Kilpatrick. in his pamphlet entitled The Project Me- thod. - ' says that a project is a purposeful act. that is, a scheme or plan of a practi- cal nature which appeals to the doer as worth while. The child ' s school life is to he connected as closely as possible with his life outside the schoolroom, lie may be led to see that, if he has a worthy purpose, he may carry out a worthy project. That is what comes to our minds when we think of a project. First, have we a definite purpose; then, is it worthy of careful thought and planning? In all of our projects, we must note the presence of a dominating purpose and work toward it. Illustrations of individual I projects are making a dress or a bookcase, getting out a school newspaper, or making a business proposition of a garden. In the household arts course, when the project giv- en is the making of a dress, the purpose is to make the dress as well as possible so that it may be a source of satisfaction to the wearer. The child will thus realize that it is worthy of thought and doing. The next thing to be considered is the child ' s motive for producing a well-made dress. Some children may be interested in the process, but many may think of the project merely as a task. Motives which would appeal to chil- dren are il) to have the class vote for the neatest and best looking dress in the class; (2 to produce a dress that could be displayed at an exhibition to be given at the end of the year. In planning the projects for the school, we have to deal with different types of children. Some will carry out the project merely for the sake of being credited with the work, others for the product, while others will work because new problems will come up which will require reason and skill. Then as difficulties are overcome, the chil- dren will present new ideas and problems, which may develop into original projects. Group projects are as valuable to each child as are individual projects. The chief benefit is the training for co-operation and leadership. The child learns to work with others, to take orders, and perhaps to give orders. As a leader, the child learns to take the initiative; to find out what is to be done, and to see that it is done. As a member of a group, he learns to combine his ideas with those of others, using the ma- terial besl suited to the purpose of the project. In group projects, such as presenting ' a plav or organizing a baseball nine, the motive may be competition of several groups, the choice of the best group, and the presentation of the work by thai group. In the course of this book, we have given an account of several projects on the subject of book-making for flic children in Ihc grammar grades, or the junior high school. The first thing to do is to gel the children ' s interesl ; and then to have the chil- dren obtain information concerning the subject, to make their plan, and to work out the project; in general, to arouse the children to self -activity. If the children feel that they are doing the work themselves, the interesl will be much greater and the finished product of a better quality and a source of greater satisfaction. The members of the editorial staff wish to thank the teachers and the students for giving their time and valuable assistance to help make the Class Book of L920 a success. Special mention should be made of the hearty cooperation of the under- graduates. Never before have the members of the other classes supported the senior class so generously in literary contributions and subscriptions. in J Class History 1918 September 9.

Director of Elementary and Secondary Education and Normal Schools of M assachusetts. Dear Friends at the Salem Normal School. Since I came to Cambridge in October I have continued some writing begun during the summer, and, in addition, have been doing research work in educational measurements under the direction of Professor Dearborn of the Department of Educa- tion at Harvard. It has been interesting to follow the later developments in this field. At first there was a good deal of injustice done by rating the work of classes irrespec- tive of the native intelligence of the children. A teacher who was doing superior work with a slow class would be ranked lower than a teacher who was doing compari- tively poor work with a class of children who were unusually bright. To do away with this injustice, the movement is toward measuring the achievement of pupils in the light of an intelligence test which gives the mental status of the pupils. The first experiments in scientific measurements naturally laid the emphasis on mechanical accomplishment. Another improvement is the broadening out of the field so as to include appreciation in the tests. For example, I came across a test the other day in the appreciation of poetry. Each part of the test consisted of several stanzas. One stanza was taken from a great poet. The other stanzas gave the same thought and imagery, but worked them out in different ways. One stanza was over-dramatic, an- other had a rhythm too marked for the thought, and another was too commonplace in its meter. The stanzas were so cleverly written that it took close thinking to select the one that was really the best. I thought of you girls and wondered how many of you had developed the tine discrimination necessary to pass the test. 1 have no doubt that most of you have. Many of you will soon be teaching. You are undoubtedly looking forward to it with high hopes. I do not need to say that I wish you all success in your work, and much richness of experience and happiness in your lives. Sincerely yours. - Cambridge, Massachusetts, April, 192U. Harriet E.

Miss Y ;.ki diately before our eyes but in Miss Harris, The Glee Club The Glee Club was first organized about eleven years ago. for the purpose of giv- ing those students who bad special musical abilities an opportunity to get additional enjoyment, training, and inspiration from singing with a chosen group under the leader- ship of Mr. Archibald. This year the Glee Club held its first meeting on October 16. 1919. and the fol- lowing officers were elected: Marion D. Flanagan. Treasurer: Gertrude M. Webber, Sec- retary; Dawn E. Seavey, Librarian; Naomi Atkins. Assistant Librarian. Preparation was begun at once for the joint concert with the Framingham Glee dub, given in Salem. To help meet the expenses of this concert, the club held dances and in other ways raised some money. The concert, given March 19. proved a great success, through the help of Mr. Archibald, director of the club, and Mr. Allen, bus- iness manager. The Glee Club is a valuable organization. It furnishes music for the school ' + graduation and on other special occasions. It helps its members cultivate an apprecia- tion of good music and gives them training- which will help them in conducting chorus work in the public schools, and all the advantages of singing under the direction of Mr. Archibald. Socially, it helps the students to get acquainted with one another, and through the annual concert with Framingham. to meet the members of the Framing- ham Glee Club. 39 The Art Club The Art Club is one of the oldest organizations formed and supported by the stu- dent body of the Salem Normal School. It had its inception years ago among a group of pupils who were anxious to pursue the study of art to a greater extent than that which the regular course in the school afforded. The organization and by-laws then established have continued to the present time, and the interest and enthusiasm among its members remains unabated. The work of the club has been varied from time to time. In the past, papers were written by members of the club, on different artists, periods of art. art projects, etc. Work along some advanced line of art study has always been a major feature. A trip to Boston with visils to the .Museum of Fine Arts, studios, galleries, and the Normal Art School, has been an annual feature. During the past year our organization has been most prosperous and our work most satisfactory. Our officers are Miss Elisabeth Burnham, president: Muriel G. flick- er, vice-president; Rachel E. Muffin, secretary and treasurer. ur Art Club Bulletin in the west corridor gives weekly a new inspiration. Th is year the course offered in- truded lectures by Mr. Whitney on Indian Lore, A Study of ( ' asts and Pictures in Our Building, and Harmonious Color in Dress and in the Home. Mr. Frederick W. Reid pave a lecture entitled Craftsmanship in Summer Schools. Others scheduled are The Art of Seeing Pictures, Mr. Herberl T. Kenyon; Rambles in Italy, Miss Gertrude B. OoMsmith ; Illustrations of Children ' s stories. Miss Amy Rachel Whittier; and Art in Public Prints by Mr. .lames Frederick Hopkins. Our excursions have been sketching trips to various picturesque spots, a stroll about historic Salem, a visit to the Institute, and the annual outing at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Whitney. Our social functions included a tea by Mrs. Whitney, Miss Well- man, and Miss Goldsmith in February and another tea by Miss Rollinson, Miss Sper- ry and Miss Flanders. The Library Club also gave a tea to the faculty and members of the Art Club at the close of Miss Whittier ' s lecture. The projects thus far this season have been : the first, the making of books involv- ing color study, design, leather tooling, and book-binding; the second, Ihc binding of pamphlets, catalogues, etc., using the cobbler ' s binding; the third, serving trays of fiat splints and glass; the fourth, design and color projects on fabrics in batik. We appreciate this opportunity of learning some of the fundamental and under- lying qualities of the great works of art; something of their history, and relation to de- sign and construction even in the most familiar objects by which we are surrounded; of the value of harmonious color, form and design in our homes and schools; and of the help we have gained toward better taste and discriminating judgment. All of the benefits which we have enjoyed we owe to the efforts of Mr. Whitney, the director, who has always guided us in our work and been our source of inspiration.

Donlan Club -3N5 Our School Orchestra We speak at times of the musical clubs of the Salem Normal School. Sometimes, because the Glee Club is so prominent, we forget about its sister organization, the or- chestra. At other times, particularly at concerts or dances in the training school hall, we are justly proud.. Just as Thursday afternoon means (dee Club rehearsal to some of us, to others, Friday afternoon means Orchestra practice with Mr. Archibald. It takes all kinds of people to make society, and all kinds of instruments to make an orchestra. At present the instruments in our orchestra range from violin, tlute, and clarinet to piano, drums, and bells. We have been somewhat handicapped, how- ever, because of the lack of players on the viola, violincello, cornet and drums. The members of our orchestra are— First Violin, Phyllis M. Coane, Hazel Killam; Librarian, Ingrid Liukkonen ; Flute, olive G. Hodgkins, Leader; Bells, Wilhelmina M. Crosson ; Second Violin, Madeline Littlefield, Rose L. Standley, Rovena M. Sylvester; Piano, Emeline V. Holohan; Clarinet, Lyman R. Allen. Beta Chapter The fraternity has felt keenly the lack of men in the school this year. It ap- peals to its graduate members to increase the loyalty of young men for their alma ma- ter. During the year the organization suffered the great loss of one of its loyal mem- bers, Mr. Cushing. 1920 J. Asbury Pitman, Honorary Member. Walter H. Donahue Leo R. McKinnon Richard A. McCarthy Maurice A. Twomey Leverett T. Holder, Fndergraduate 41 The Dramatic Club The Dramatic f ' lub was reorganized tliis year under the direction of II. Pearl Brown. The purpose of the club is to give several dramas during the year and in this way bring the students together and create a social atmosphere. Seniors and middle year students are eligible for mem hership in the club. The officers lor the year are Hazel A. Clerke, President; Dorothy ( ' . Pease, Vice- President; Elizabeth .lames. Secretary; Eunice S. Higgins, Treasurer. Elizabeth James. ' 120 Parliamentary Law Club The Parliamentary I, aw Club was formed by the Commercial Seniors in tin ' late fall of l!H!i under the supervision of Mr. Sproul. The purpose of this club was to gain knowledge of parliamentary law and skill in the application thereof. Meetings were held weekly. Officers were elected for a period of five weeks; thus every member had an opportunity to hold some office during tin- year. Alter the regular business had been disposed of, a period of parliamentary prac- tice followed Each person had to take the chair for live minutes ami conduct the meeting. In this way knowledge and skill were acquired, so thai when occasion de- mands, tin ' members will he able to COlldud assemblies according to parliamentary rules and usages. 12 The Tennis Club The Tennis Club closed the season of 1918-1919 by a tournament on Class Day. The final players were Almina Knowlton and Elizabeth Cogswell, and Mr. Whitman was the referee. After a close game, the loving cup was given to Elizabeth Cogswell. Early in the fall of 1919 the Club reorganized with the following officers: Eliza- beth Cogswell, President; Naomi Atkins, Vice-President; Dawn E. Seavey, Treasurer; Leah E. Bennett, Secretary; Doris E. Woodbury, Keeper. Much interest has been shown in the organization, and a total membership of ninety-two was secured, composed of teachers and students. It was in our gym period that we had the most lively lessons in Normal, jumping, dancing, laughing, — all good fun, and then a shower to refresh our spirits, and make us ready for the next period. The shower was necessary! Of course our gym lesson was not all play. The work was two-fold; first, to develop in the student a sense of correct posture. Miss Warren ' s greatest concern, and to arouse a general enthusiasm for wholesome bodily activity; secondly, to train the student to encourage the development of growing children. We enjoyed our gym, and it was necessary to make the children in the training school like the work as well as we did, for this was Miss Warren ' s aim. Every morning before school, some of us taught either gym exercises or games to the children. We grew more interested in children than we otherwise Avould have been, because we saw them under less restraint. We played volley ball with them, captain ball, and German bat ball. Every game was full of life and activity. Learning to hold a bat, throw a ball, and serve a volley ball are some of the greatest delights of gym work with the children. Practice with the chil- dren leads to an appreciation of the pleasures of teaching them. Leah E. Bennett, ' 22 Physical training in the schools is a recognized means of educating school chil- dren for upright citizenship. Vigorous men and women are the nation ' s greatest asset. A Physical Education Bill has been passed by many of the states, making compulsory the setting apart of a definite amount of time for physical activities, as well as for thorough instruction in hygiene in every school of the state. According to this bill, only a limited amount of time is given to formal gym work. Rhythmic exercises, folk dancing, games, and athletics have a special place in the weekly program. Making each one of the various kinds of work effective necessitates a thorough understanding of prin- ciples on the part of the teacher, and sympathetic leadership of children. We got this training during our two years ' course at the normal school. 1 gaze in the Crystal and what do I see? A bunch of fine girls. S. X. S.. Senior Three.

Mr. Whunf.y. 4 4 The side and bottom edges of the book were next deckled. We placed the book in a vise and filed the edges with a coarse tile. The top edge we cut smooth in the cutting machine. In the next few processes it was necessary to use glue, a fact we are not likely to forget; for the glue had a decided tendency to stick to us more often than to the book. It had to be heated before using, also, and this made its odor one never to be forgotten. We rubbed the glue into the back of the book, making the signatures adhere firmly together; and we then put on our super , allowing an even margin on each side and rubbing in more glue. The super was then slit, and the tapes slipped through as in illustration six. We prepared the cardboard for the tapes by cutting and slitting an opening for them, as in illustration seven. We then poked the ends of the tapes through, and glued them down to the cardboard, as in illustration eight. We next made a design for each one of the leather corners. This design had to be made in the unit of a triangle, smaller than the corner itself, in order to have a space of silence and some leather to turn under in putting the corner on. We also tooled a design with similar units for the back of the book, as in illustration nine. Then we scived the leather. In this process, we thinned down the leather on the wrong- side with a very sharp knife, so that it would turn easily. After measuring on the card- board the right placing of each corner, we glued each one on firmly. In order to make them adhere more thoroughly, we placed the book in the press for a short time. Then the pieces of leather that protruded beyond the book were turned under and glued. The leather for the back was put on in the same way, and turned under at the top and bottom. The book then looked like illustration ten. Lastly, we cut some oak-tag to cover the parts of the cardboard showing, as in illustration eleven. This was to give a foundation to the butting of the vellum. The vellum was cut in the same way, using the oak-tag as a pattern; then both vellum and oak-tag were pasted to the book. The protruding edges were turned under and pasted. Finally, we covered the first page of the book with paste, smoothing down the super at the same time; and closed the outer cover firmly for a few seconds. We opened the cover, made sure the lining was smooth, and then put our finished book into the press. 51 A VISIT TO THE SALEM NEWS Wo were interested in the subject of printing ' , but we could not clearly under- stand the technical terms and processes described in books. Therefore we decided to visit the Salem News establishment to sec some of the things we had read about. Those in charge of the various departments at the News were very cordial. We were first conducted through the composing room. The manner of operation of each type of machine and the results were carefully and interestingly explained to us. and we un- derstood, even through the noise and grumble in the room. The manager showed us the evolution of printing from job cases to the complex linotype (long i. please). In the stereotyping room, we saw how the cast type is made into half cylindrical plates for use in the printing press. To see how these plates were used, we went down to the press itself. It was a massive, complicated structure, but its operation was made very clear to us. We saw a great roll of heavy white wrapping paper go under and over huge cylinders covered with the plates and conic out printed, cut, and folded, a newspaper ready to be thrown down at our doors. With this personal experience added to our reading, we had a wider view and better conception of the subject of printing. When we came to report on our subject, we were able to present it more effectively. We saw. also, what a class of children would get through a trip of this sort. In order to help us in our study of book-making, we made a visit to the Athe- naeum Press, the publishing plant of (Jinn and Company, on First Street. Cambridge. The trip had been arranged by .Miss Kicker, a member of our class. Although we had made books in our art work, largely by hand, of course, we had no idea of the many complicated processes through which a book must go before it reaches the reader. Among these processes were the setting of type, making of plates, printing of the sheets, folding and cutting of the sheets, assembling and sewing of the signatures, pasting the binding, making and stamping the covers, and lastly pressing the book it- self. The purpose of projects in the schools is to give the child a chance actually to do things that seem to him worth while. In all human beings there seems to be an im- pulse to construct. From the time the child begins to pile up blocks till men con- utrucl houses and bridges, the constructive instinct is prominent. The child delights in action. Moreover, if properly taught, he forms certain habits, as neatness, accu- racy, power to judge and concentrate, and he develops the constructive and aesthetic traits. The close relation between printing and bookbinding and color study, design and space divisions must be kept in mind. The following are a few of the many pro- jects which might be used in the upper grades in printing, bookbinding, and wood- work.

B. Explanations used in printing improved during the English period. Note: If the children find difficulty in making clear explanations of the proc- esses because of the technical terms, training in explanation of terms, or definition, may be given in the English class; or if the process is not clear, explanation may be made through co-operative exercises with outlines on the board, followed by oral or writ- ten explanations according to the outlines.

Book-making. Publishing a school paper in grades I elow the seventh, preparatory to publishing a magazine in the seventh and eighth grades. A Study of a newspaper: (1) discussion of various sections, as news, advertise- ments, editorials, etc.; (2) research work: how material is obtained, how the news- paper is put together, and a general idea of business management ; (3) comparison with magazine and book as to purpose and caie; (4) practice in writing simple news articles, advertisements, etc.; (5) printing of news sheet. Aim: to lead the children to understand and appreciate the amount of thought and work put into a paper; later, to learn how to read a newspaper. B. Research work on book-making. (Topics enumerated elsewhere) Aim: to give training in gathering and organizing material, and in speaking before an audience. ' . Publication of a magazine. 1. Discussion of plans: (a) Aims: (1) to keep parents and friends informed concerning what the school is doing along athletic, literary, and social lines: (2) to give to pupils of each grade an idea of what the rest of the class is doing; (b) Con- tents: the class tell what they would like to have the book include, and what it must contain to interest others, in and outside of school, thus deciding on sections; (c) Price: reasonable, yet sufficient to cover cost: how proceeds to be raised and used (chance for practical arithmetic); (d) Frequency of publication: reasons. This gives pupils training in expressing opinions, and forming judgments. 2. Choosing of editor-in-chief, staff, artists, business manager, and reporters. Aim: to have as many of class as possible connected with the work, so that interest and co-operation of all may be enlisted. Directions for writing manuscript: deciding how it is to be written (on one side of paper, in good form, clearly, etc.): planning and comparing the variou s articles; writing the articles in manuscript form for printing. 4. Proof-reading: Children do their own proof-reading, perhaps examining work of other pupils, to whose mistakes they are more sensitive. If the boys do the printing, girls may do part of the reading of proof. The teacher is a guide and checks up the work. RESEARCH WORK AND TAEKS (For an eighth grade) The children should receive training in the lower grades so that they are fitted for simple research work and the giving of instructive and entertaining talks when they reach the junior high school. They must learn how to gather material, sift it. organ- ize it. and present it. Beginning with the kindergarten the children have practice in telling and drama- tizing stories, singing and dancing before the class so that they gain a certain degree of confidence and ease. In the fourth grade, the paragraph idea and simple outline work begin, and this training is continued through the grades. The children are trained to find facts in geography and history first in one book; to help form a simple outline of main topics on the board; and to tell what they know about a topic in his- tory and in geography, hygiene and nature study. Occasionally a child gives a special talk on some topic with which he is familial 1 , but which is new to the class. In this way. then, the children learn to enjoy their talks and feel at ease in presenting them. In the junior high school, the children are prepared to do very simple research work. Given a subject, such as the making of a book, they can gather materials from all valuable sources, organize it. and present it to the class. After the children and the teacher have brought in different sources of material, as books, magazines, and information from relatives and personal experiences, they may need help in using the material to the best advantage. If, for instance, they 55 want to gather information about the paper which is used in the making of a book, and one child suggests looking in the geography book to find this, the teacher may tell all the children to take their books, ask them where they are going to look, and show them the use of the index. When they have found the material and have read it. the ■ lass may need further help in selecting the details which are most closely related to the subject ami in deciding which arc the most important, Selecting details and weighing their relative importance require the exercise of the child ' s judgment, and a great deal of practice in doing this is necessary. By giving the class paragraphs containing information on a certain point in the making of a hook, or in history, science, or geography, and asking the children to pick out the details bearing directly on the point, they will gradually gain power along this line. At first these exercises should he co-operative, hut later, individual. After the children have selected their material they will need help in organiz- ing it. The children give topics on book-making which they have found individually and these are placed on the hoard. After they have given all the topics they have Pound, the teacher may ask what new points they need to look up. As they are given, the teacher writes them on the hoard, and then asks the children to arrange the topics in a logical form. Here again, they must use their judgment in deciding what topics may be combined or omitted, and their relative importance. At first this work in or- ganization is class work, hut after each one has looked up material on one of the new topics, he will he expected to organize ii individually or with others in the class who arc working on the same topic, and contribute his points to the outline which the whole class is preparing. Such a scries of topics as given below might he the result of this co- operative work. The child, having gathered the material for his talk and organized it. must real- ize that it is his problem to present that material in such a way that the class will en- joy it. Ask the child how he is going to do this, lie will probably say. although not in these words, that he must have an interesting beginning to his talk, a definite cen- tral thought logically and clearly developed, that he mus1 connect his sentences and paragraphs, use special devices to make the lalk interesting, and must have a suitable ending. If all these points are not given, the teacher can gel them by asking questions. It will he necessary to discuss in connection with the firsl topic, ways of beginning, as stating what you are going to talk ahout. asking a question, and making a striking state- ment. By studying the beginnings of different paragraphs in hooks, these ways will be brought out. Then ask each child to decide how he is going to begin his talk. The class must also consider ways of making the talks clear and interesting, as arranging the facts in a logical order, using pictures, diagrams and other special devices, and Inning a good ending. The children cannot he expected to grasp all these points at once, hut one point must he taken ami established, before considering the others. In order to show thai the pupils have profited by giving their talks and receiv- ing helpful suggestions, they may w rite an account of one phase of t he subject . This tin me is an exercise in penmanship, typewriting, or printing, The class may appoint a committee to collect these papers, make the necessary corrections with the teacher ' s help, and arrange them in hook form, as a permanent record. Such questions about the essentials of a booh as the index, the introduction, dedication, illustrations, title page, table of contents and the cover must he decided, and different groups may he appointed to plan these details. As an illustration of research work in hook making for an eighth grade, let us take one topic, hook -binding Having approached the subject through the modern bind- ing, its use as protection and a source of p ' easure, the teacher may lead the class to an interest in the origin of the custom id ' binding records. By reading and inquiry, they may discover the following steps: (1) wooden tablets covered with wax ami fasten- ed with leather thongs or hinges; (2) tablets fastened with leaden rings; (3) rolls of papyrus, vellum, or paper, kept in cylindrical cases of vellum, one kind first indicating pages h ' ld together by thongs; | i) boards placed on each side of pages, pages stitched at back over leather strips, one long piece of leather placed over the back and overlap- 56 ping the edge of the boards; (5) and finally strips at the bark covered the boards en- tirely in mediaeval times. The development of binding in different countries is also interesting, chiefly for differences in materials used and in ornamentations. The study of the modern process may be partly through actual work in binding in the schools and partly through visits to a modern press and binding establishment. In a similar manner, the following topics may be finally developed and presented to the classs by groups: (1) use of covers; (2) early efforts for protection ; (3) ef- forts for ornamentation; (4) differences in value of certain materials, as leather, cloth, paper, vellum, for protection and ornamentation; (5) modern processes by hand and by machinery; (6) proper methods of handling a book; (7) study of bindings from point of view of utility and art.

It was formed for two purposes: first, to increase the interest in hooks in the normal school library and other libraries: seeondly— that ' s a secret at present to non- membcrs. The club paid an interesting visit to the State Library, where the members were kindly received by the State Librarian. The Boston Public Library was visited by the clnb on the same ' day. The members were received in the Trustees ' Room, by Mr. Bel- den, the Librarian, who gave an exceedingly interesting talk on library work. Dur- ing the visit of the club to the Boys and (iirls Bookshop on Boylston Street, a reading by Henry B. Beston was heard from his book. The Firelight Fairy Book; also a reci- tation by Abbie Farwell Brown. On April 21. the club spent a delightful hour entertaining the members of the Faculty and the Art Club at tea in the school library, where an exhibit of beautifully illustrated books for children had been arranged.

In the history of the Stenographic Art there have been just three ideas that have attracted more than mere passing notice and that are in any sense alive to-day. I. The Gabelsbergerian Idea. This is the German idea. Its graphic basis lies in the elements of longhand script. It prevails widely in some European countries, and attempts have been made to adapt it to English; but up to this time it has not made a dent on the shorthand consciousness of the English-speaking world. You may as well forget all about it. II. The Duployan Idea. This is the French idea. It is the shade-Zess, position-Zess idea, with its encumbrance of joined signs for vowel-groups and not enough consonant-signs to go ' round. Persistent efforts have been made to adapt it to English by a long- line of inventors — Pernin, Sloan, Malone, Gregg, Mosher, Lichtentag, etc.. but it remains the same old nanus system — a failure for any real shorthand purpose. III. The Pitmanic Idea. This is the Anglo-American idea. It is a true phonetic shorthand, with shaded strokes to distin- guish voiced from whispered consonants ; detacht vowel-signs that may be used or not as needed, and position-writing that saves the need of using vowel-signs. Pitmanic Phonography is the REAL SHORTHAND that is used by the real shorthand writers of the English-speaking world today. It is the Big Idea. In the U. S. A. it is written by ' 77.3 per cent of the shorthand clerks in the Government Depart- ments at Washington. 82.6 per cent of the official shorthand court reporters of the state of Indiana. 91.2 per cent of all the official shorthand court reporters of the United States. 98 per cent of the official court reporters of the state of New York. These are official figures and not home-made statistics. Pitmanic Phonography is publisht by The Phonographic Institute Company CINCINNATI, OHIO Benn Pitman, Founder. Jerome B. Howard, President.

Protruding above the top is the inevitable green notebook, containing copious notes on all subjects, a box of lunch, a pocketbook, manicuring articles, powder-puff, hair-padding, curlers, handkerchiefs, rubber bands, erasers, clips, safety pins, odd but- tons. Doner pen-points, gym shoes, bathing caps, neck-ties, soap, cold cream, rulers, pencils, paints, spectacles, paste, plans, gum, movie tickets, car checks, snapshots, precious letters, nature specimens, and red ink. It is not to be doubted that they weigh heavily, for there is hardly room for even germs to move about, and the sa of the shoul- der and the lagging gait tell that they are no light burden. A class assembles and with a bang these numerous bags are dropped on the desks, on the table, and especially in the middle of the aisle, and occasionally some step- (| uick-and-1 tip stumMes headlong and the conglomeration of maidenly possessions scat- ters broadcast on the class room floor, — to the disgust of the faculty member in charge and the reddening embarrassment of the young offender.

C. MERRIAM CO., Springfield, Mass. Better Speech Week One duty lies on old and young — With filial piety to guard As on its greenest native sward The glory of the English tongue! The first week of last November was observed as Better Speech Week. In general, the aims were to emphasize the idea of Better English for better Ameri- cans, to arouse the interest of each student in the effort to eradicate the common er- rors and the slang which have crept into his speech, and to gain power in speech. Under Mr. Whitney ' s supervision, the students in the art department spent their time making posters, which were a source of inspiration, for they presented graphically the value of good English in our evcry-day life, and emphasized common errors. The following song «;is composed by one of the students in the commercial tie pari menl : Mi. people dear and did you hear the news that ' s going round. ' Such words as youril and aint and jesl will soon no more be found, For we are oh a pilgrimage to light imperfect speech And when ourselves we say what ' s right, then others we will teaeh. If we should hear a person say, Them boys will all be drowndcd We ' re all prepared to tell him how illiterate it sounded. And if a word like busted sonic thoughtless one employed. There ' s only one sate place for him and ' hat ' s with Miss Learoyd. It ' you ever hear a person say. I wisht you ' d gimme some, Or even worse, I haven ' t saw. or he .lint go1 no gum, •lust put him in the class with those who eat meat with a spoon. And also those who ride a boss will join the same. And there are also certain ones who punctuate with er, And likewise those who always wish the distance warn ) so fer, While some there are who always start a speceh with well, look, say, And surely they must be looked Up if we would win the day. Now if you know that you are one who says such frightful things, .Just list to us and note results that education brings. 66 NORMAL GRADUATES AND V V 1I1v5 I11|J COMMFRCIA1 TFACHFRS Teachers ' Are in Constant Demand ★ Agency ALVIN F.

At The Faculty Meeting When news of a faculty meet came out. We wondered what it was all about ; When teachers left their occupation. This was our private estimation Of what went on : — Mr. Whitney began by calling the roll. But he noticed the absence of A. II. Sproul : Archi-ba( w)ld, (such a time he did make!) And in every heart was a misciaBl-ake.— They missed him so ! Miss Sperry said she left Miss Crut- Tenden ' to pupils who lessons forgot. Mr. Allen observing a ring near his shoe. Said Well-man. you ' re in luck; it exactly Fitz Hugh! But dissension arose! A Goldsmith among them caused Warr — in a minute; She said it was hers; her initials were in it. The finder decided to be a kind Doner. And with a faint sigh ' twas returned to the owner. Then all went well. Mr. Sproul came at 3.41. .Miss Flanders remarked, You appeaR-all-in, — son; Your Harr-is askew, and where is your Wit-man? Such a way to appear before Mr. Pitman! Thus time went on. Miss Rogers remarked to her friend, Miss Learoyd, .Miss Burah-am anxious that lunch be enjoyed. Said .Miss Badger, Of ••hairs there should be one more. Bui no one is willing to Eaton the floor. Thus endeth the tale. Olive }. EIodgkjns. SENIOR Ft UR ' Tis said among the learned folk Who teach at S. . S.. That Senior Four is very slow, — Slow, even at our best.
