May we ever be Thy servants in circulating the high ideals and true spirit of democracy that exists within Thy walls. STATE NORMAL SCHOOL T the session of the state legislature held two years ago, President Millspaugh and many others made earnest efforts to have established here a teachers ' college in connection with the Normal school. These efforts failed. They may yet result in success; for there is wide agreement that the coast should have an institution for the special training of teachers comparable with those connected with Colimibia University and Chicago University. A part of President Millspaugh ' s argument, his statement of some of the functions of such an institution, has permanent validity and we reproduce it here. 1st. The teachers college is needed to furnish the elementary teacher an opportunity for study and instruction in every branch of knowledge that has educational worth, more thorough-going and advanced than that which the normal schools can furnish. The normal school may succeed in providing the grade teacher with equipment sufficient for the usual demands; it does not go far enough to meet the needs of the teacher who is assigned to de- partmental work; of the special supervisor of elementary instruc- tion; of the school principal; of the school superintendent; of the teacher of commercial branches; of those who are to direct the instruction of students in the practice departments of normal schools; of the specialist in industrial education; of the director of physical education; or even of the scholarly teacher who desires merely to increase his own knowledge and culture that he may have a richer life to share with his students. 2nd. The teachers ' college is needed also to furnish that higher knowledge which has special interest for the teacher only, as a member of a distinct profession. If teaching is ever accorded high rank as a profession, it will be when it rests upon foundations established by science. Educational measures, if successful, must be in harmony with nature, as it is manifested through the human organism, physical, intellectual, and spiritual. Acquaintance with that organism, acquired partly by experience and observation and partly by the aid of such sciences as physiology, embryology, psy- chology, and history, is absolutely essential to any intelligent and far-sighted direction of educational movements. Comprehension of public education, as an agency developed by society for the at- tainment of its most beneficient purposes, implies intelligent and intimate knowledge of the organization of society itself; an ac- quaintance with its problems and needs, its governing motives and aspirations, its purposes, and the goals of its endeavor; and it also implies a sympathetic appreciation of the relation of educational measures to the other social forces whose aim is human betterment. 3rd. The teachers ' college is the appropriate place also to obtain preparation to teach those arts and sciences and occupa- tions which recent experience has shown to have large educational as well as utilitarian value. With greatest cordiality we must wel- come this extension of educational effort to include the physical as well as the intellectual being; to train for practical efficiency and self-support; to develop the productive as well as the reflective capacities of the student. But is there possible danger that this splendid movement may lose its educational significance and de- generate into a project for the further exploitation of human be- ings for commercial ends? This nation cannot afford to quit the business of making men in order to make even intelligent factory hands and mechanics. Carpentry, masonry, metal working, agri- culture, sewing, cooking, and many other applied arts, as school subjects, have great social value, provided that their educational aspects are not lost sight of or disregarded; and provided that they serve to vitalize the educational curriculum, not to supplant it. To avert such a possibility, teachers of industrial subjects should receive their training in institutions which clearly comprehend the double function of such instruction and by their organization and administration give ample assurance that the utilitarian shall be fostered and that the human and the cultural shall not be neg- lected. 4th. Once more, the college for teachers is needed to serve as a place for the experimental study of teaching. Upon the develop- ment of this most important field of inquiry will, in large part, de- pend the rapidity and soundness of our educational progress. Some discoveries of great value to teaching, like many of our most im- portant inventions, have been, and will continue to be, made by accident. But really great contributions in this realm as well as in that of science and invention have been the result of persistent and patient study and rational experimentation. Unscientific empiricism has always been the bane of education. The time is ripe for the careful testing of newly discovered principles of teaching, for ascertaining which of them have practical value, and for the development under proper conditions of teaching methods based upon them. This is the sphere of the teachers ' college. No work more needs to be done; no other institution could do it so well. In a word, the teachers ' college should be the educational clearing- house of the State. 5th. Again, there is need of a careful study and a practical working out of the whole problem of rural life and rural education. This involves the related problem of how to make country life — not country life as it is lived on the great landed estates and in the great orchard districts, but on the small farm where the vast majority of farmers live — how to make country life there more economically profitable and more humanly interesting. All through the southern states public schools are found now trying to bring about the solution. Through the agency of the public schools it has been reached already in many of the Mississippi Valley States. It will be reached wherever and whenever through intelligent leadership and assistance, such as it is the mission of the teachers ' college to furnish, rural communities are awakened to the possibilities, social, economical, and educational, which lie undeveloped right at their own doors. The agricultural colleges of the country are doing a great work; but they are really touching only the high spots, and fail utterly to reach the masses of the farming world. Until the gospel of agricultural freedom reaches the farm through the public schools, it will fail to reach them en- tirely; and it will not, therefore, fully emancipate the millions who are now deprived of the full richness of life possible to them, in the very places where life should be richest and most abundant. 6th. Another much desired result which may be confidently expected to follow the establishment, on an efficient basis, of a col- lege for teachers is a marked increase in the number of young men who will be willing to enroll in the ranks of teachers — and this will mean an increase in the strength and virility of public instruction. We know that young men will not, as a rule, take the courses of study which the normal schools offer. Less than three per cent of all the normal school students of California are men. The reason is plain: It is because the normal school graduate is without hope of promotion beyond the graded schools. To get into the high school teaching service, he must graduate from the university and then spend a full year in post graduate study. The high school graduates, therefore, who think of making teaching their profes- sion—and on leaving the high school the number of these is greater than is commonly supposed — must enter the university in order that they may be prepared to teach where salaries and conditions of service are attractive. But from the moment of entrance to the university, the influences surrounding him all tend to run in other directions than teaching. A score of avenues open up before him, each one of which leads to goals more attractive, socially and finan- cially, than the profession of teaching. So when next we hear from the young man whose original purpose was to become a teacher, we find him preparing to engage in the practice of law or medicine or journalism or pharmacy or politics or engineering or commerce. But now, make it possible for the youth whose high school course has given him a taste for teaching, to enter an insti- tution all of whose influences and occupations tend to foster and strengthen his original purpose instead of quenching it; then ac- cord to that institution support and dignity comparable to that which is granted the university, and not only will the youth stick to his choice of profession, but he will be proud of it and loyal to it. The report of the Bureau of Education for 1911 shows that at the Teachers ' College at Cedar Falls, Iowa, there was one male student for every five female; at Terre Haute, Indiana, one for every five; at Emporia, Kansas, one for every three; at Kirksville, Missouri, one for every two — these are all colleges for teachers. In Cali- fornia, whose normal schools prepare teachers for graded work only, the proportion of male to female students is one to thirty- four. I cannot take time to explain in detail many other valuable functions which it is the business of a teachers ' college to perform; but may I add a single word? We are just beginning to under- stand something of the relation of the physical to the intellectual and the moral, to know that the discovery and correction of bodily defects and abnormalities in the pupil are often prerequisite to the effective application of any of the principles or methods of teach- ing whatever. Like the sanitary prevention of disease, this cor- rective work, when tactfully and intelligently performed promises to become one of the most important and interesting applications of modem science to human welfare. The model school and the de- partment of practice of the teachers ' college would form an ideal laboratory for observation and study in this field, and the results obtained would give new meaning and vitality to educational ad- ministration. Lack of space also forbids me to explain the part which a teachers ' college would have in the development of a true concep- tion of the social and educational value of play and in the training of efficient playground workers. For well trained leaders in this movement there is an increasingly large demand. I may take time only to mention the work which such an in- stitution should perform in extending to teachers in actual service throughout the state the benefits of graduate instruction. The ex- tension work of the university represents some of its most im- portant effort. For such extension work, to be given by the teachers ' college and aiming especially to serve the needs of those who are engaged during the academic year, there is at the present time a very strong appeal.

Wealth, family or position, which play a large part in many schools in obtaining special honors, are here ignored. Our offices are filled by young men and young women who have proved their worth. A rumor has been circulated that many students have ob- tained an office because they are members of a certain clique. This is not true. In every school, one will find a few live, thinking members, whose interest is shown, not by criticising, but doing. As the old saying goes, Birds of a feather flock together, but in this case, they flock together because the welfare of our school is of vital importance to them. Naturally, when it is necessary for some one to be selected to fill a responsible position, that some one will be a person who has toiled while others slept or criti- cised. The possibilities and hopes for the growth of the Los An- geles State Normal School into a Western Teachers ' College, may fitly be described as the great beacon light of our genera- tion. The President and his assistants are working as they have never worked before, publishing bulletins on the Teachers ' College bill presented recently before the State legislature, and consulting with legislators and educational authorities through- out California. The faculty is none the less active. Each member is doing his best to make the classes under his instruc- tion so thorough and scientific, that little enlargement would be necessary should college courses be defined. The officers of the Alumni Association are organizing movements among the grad- uates of the school for the furthering of the progress already made. And, most of all, each student is doing his part by prov- ing, through conscientious work and earnest endeavor, that the school merits this honor. At the presenting of the Teachers ' College bill before the last State Legislature, an excellent bulletin written by President Mills- 11 paugh was issued from this school. Extracts from the pamphlet are printed in the present issue of the Exponent. The President deals with the question as no one else can, deploring the fact that so many ambitious Normal School grad- uates are compelled to go to the State universities for the com- pletion of their pedagogical training. There, where the subjects are scarcely ever taught from the educational standpoint, the student often loses his desire for the teaching profession and di- rects his study and energy along different lines. The lack of high school training schools is one of the greatest drawbacks to the university training, for theory, without practice, fails to meet the requirements of any successful profession. Underneath all the logic and scholarliness of the president ' s discussion, runs an undercurrent of consuming desire for the progress and advance of Normal School students — of us. Many years may roll by before the attainment of this great desire, but those years of waiting will be active ones filled with the service of a devoted student body, which is resolved to make each under- taking play its part in the great progress of the school. 12 FACULTY JESSE F.

MALONEY |ESTERDAY, a child in t he street implored me to buy some pansy plants. I told her that I did not have time to buy one — that I had to hurry home to write the past and future history of my class. But the child in the street would not be refused, and looking into my face with great earnestness, she said, Oh! lady, please take a plant. They are pansies and they ' re for thoughts. The cleverness of the remark and the simplicity with which it was said, prevented further resistance, and with a thrill of pleasure I said to her, What a thoughtful child you are! No wonder you have pansies to sell! Since thoughts are in season, I will take one of yours. Can you pick out a plant for me that has both past and future thoughts? Her little face brightened as I spoke, and quickly examining her Thoughts, she exclaimed: Right here ' s one! See! It has two blossoms. One ' s already full blown and the other is scarcely unfolded. One has yesterday ' s Thoughts, and the other, the Thoughts of tomorrow, and you can have them both for today. Smiling, I took this little clod of thoughtful earth from the child in the street and went home, carefully guarding niy Thoughts. I placed them on the window-sill and, with pen in hand, sat down carelessly on the side of my chair to write my story. For several minutes I sat there with blank paper and blank mind. My brain was empty — not even a cobweb adorned its walls — for with that I might have woven something. My only thoughts were on the window sill. A limp, blank attitude possessed me for a long time, when finally, lifting mv eyes to the window-sill, I beheld my Thoughts. And they, attempting to escape from my gaze, jumped into my brain-box, 44 adorning its gray walls with splashes of purple and gold. Suddenly, my Slough of Despond was transformed into a carpet of flowers. I discovered my plot, — a garden plot, and the gardeners were my classmates, and the flowers were the children to whom we have devoted two years of service, and the school was the garden wall, and its spiritual strength was the sunlight. Two years ago next September, Mother Nature felt that her children needed more care than she had been able to give them, so she looked aroimd for apprentices for the occupation of gardening. A band of over six hundred answered her call and struggled up the cement stairs to the garden on the Fifth Street Hill, — those stairs, whose only solace for their villainy was that they were geological and mineral cabinets. Nature was surprised at such a response. Why did so many wish to become gardeners? Perhaps there is a fitness in getting near the earth which has nourished us so long. Perhaps we saw the flowers holding up their sunny faces and clapping their green hands, asking us for help. Burs have clung to us in friendliness. We would spread life. How marvellous to see a tree grow from a fragile chip, — to see the round of the seasons at a single glance when the full grown tree stands up before us, — to shake out a speck of yellow dust in which is the potentiality of a thousand plants! Consider the delight in beholding in a little nut the possibility of a tree — the father of a forest! Is there anything more enlivening than to plant a seed, and, in a few weeks, see a faint crack in the ground and a little green sprout looking for the light? On that first day we wandered around examining each nook and cranny until we were banded together and divided into groups. Then we set about selecting the tools which we wished or did not wish to learn to use. Each group was placed in charge of an experienced gardener who was to look after our tools and help us to understand the language of the flowers. During the first year, we did not actually work with the flowers. We learned laws of growth, and the use and misuse of important tools, and armed ourselves with weeding hook and grubbing axe against the enemies of the flowers. 45 Toward the end of the year we went out into the garden with our teacher- gardeners and watched them use the tools and unfold the secrets of the mysterious mission. Here, on this breathing hill, this lung of the city, we passed many a pleasant hour. How many garden part ies we had! And then towards the end of the year, what excitement prevailed during election week! We, the junior gardeners, were particu- larly interested in the march of events, for the candidates for the Student Body and Student Government officers were all members of our class. With flying banners we paraded up and down the garden paths, until the trees seemed to hasten to one another, and to shake their green heads, debating how to bar the way of the strange apparition. But the apparition was not in vain, for, in response, the class, out of its great heart, gave eight of its best members to the cause. Those elected to fill Student Body positions were: President Dorothy Thickett Vice-President Lottie Barrow Secretary Ada Weems Treasurer Alena Henderson For Student Government: President Margaret Menardi Vice-President Fannie Hoffman Secretary Eunice Hallman Treasurer Edna Loomis It was just a year ago, that, with heavy hearts, but with merry muscles, we went down the steps leading from the garden for the last time. Nature had prepared for us a new garden — nearer to her heart, around which she was building a substantial wall. She laid it in the arms of the foothills, over whose shoulders the fatherly mountains keep their everlasting watch. But we have not forgotten the old garden on the hill, for memory, the greatest of the fairies whose touch of the wand brings happiness, treasures the happy days and the beauties of the old-fashioned garden. Then, in September, we ventured forth from the cloister — the city of brick and stone, and followed the trail to the hills which led to our new garden. And the mountain and the plain, 46 and the trees and the flowers greeted our awakening, as they did years ago when man first came forth from the gloomy crypt in which he had been slumbering. Here, we found the well-built garden wall, next to which we were going to raise the flowers, for a wall keeps out the weeds and flowers from the next yard and protects the plants from the wind. Just outside the wall there is a little pond, which, fearing it would lose itself on its way to the sea, decided to stay where it fell at the foot of some stately eucalyptus trees. Grant the splendor of the mighty sea, but who has gathered all the dreams of a pond? That little clump of trees is forest enough for a lifetime. The time had arrived for us to spend our first day training and cultivating the fiowers. How afraid we were of the innocent, harmless plants! The hands of the clock seemed never so lazy, and space itself, though more boundless than ever, seemed stif- ling. We were like ripe fruit — filled with the dread of falling. All went well after our first week of gardening. Through us, the spirit of the school — a clear, warm, penetrating light, was reaching the rootlets and bulbs in the damp ground, and quicken- ing them. The seed, which had lain for years on some gardener ' s shelf, began to flower as heartily under our care as if it had just fallen from its capsule into Mother Earth. We built the trellis for the Grape Vine, trained the creeping Ivy, trimmed the indis- creet Begonia, transplanted the modest Violet from the shade to the sunlight, thinned out the Johnny-Jump-Ups, separated the strong from the fragile, but cultivated all. And so, for a year, we have worked together with the young plants, and have grown up with them and to them. Nature is now ready to set us free as full-fledged gardeners. She is ready to see us, mellowed with experience, fall from the tree like ripe fruit and discover our destiny. The diet of my thought is changed. My eyes seek the win- dow-sill, and, behold! the full-blown Thought hangs limp and shrivelled for everything has flown from it. It no longer has a voice, it no longer has images, it no longer tells me anything, for what was present is now past. The other pansy, the unfolding Thought, is now full-blown. It has something to say to me, for what was future, is now present. I see a bimdle of papers before me. I will open them. 47 EXPERIMENT STATION RECORD NO. 30 MUSHROOM INFORMATION The members of the Sr. A 5 group have decided which mushrooms are poisonous and which are not, by eat- ing both kinds very successfully.

As soon as the library is complete the farm will become a profitable investment. Upon one occasion when it was evi- dent that the hay should be cut, the hay book could not be found. When it was found, it was too late, and in consequence the whole crop was spoiled. The special weakness of the group is eggs. There is always an egg from China to be found in every nest. The peaches would be a comfortable success if the swallows would swallow turnips, but they won ' t — hence the difficulty. IDEAL FARM YEAR BOOK, VOL.

EXPERIMENT STATION RECORD NO. 44 SEED IDENTIFICATION The members of the Special De- partment groups of 1915 have been giving special attention to the iden- tification of seeds. If you have mixed seeds, and wish to plant flowers of the same kind in the same place, plant all the seeds so that you can tell which is which. The bundle of papers slips from my fingers. Again I appeal to the window-sill, but no thoughts are there to meet my eye. My last Thought hangs lifeless on its stem. This little plant had given its whole self that this class might have a history and a prophecy. These two flowers on the window-sill were as self-ade- quate as the noble bush with its cloud of blossoms. Now they have already begun to decay, — but Nature beautifies even decay, for decay is the herald of the harvest. Our race has but few ideas, and though it has not harvested quite all of them, every once in a while somebody wakes up and discovers for himself what a flower thought out long ago. Then Nature laughs. Why, the world is only a seed, ripening and shrinking that it may flower anew into sun-flames. A seed! Existence in a nutshell, Nature ' s greatest sermon and an epitome of her kindness. 50 JUNIORS OF SEPTEMBER 1915 Over four hundred strong they were — bewildered, scatter- brained little freshmen. The great, new school was rather awe- some. To them it seemed impossible that anyone could wear such a complaisant air as did the seniors. Even the faculty had a worried look as they herded the September crop into the Assem- bly Hall. Being duly ticketed and numbered, on the newcomers were rushed — Theirs not to make reply — Theirs not to reason why — Theirs but to do or die — Noble four hundred. It was quite a contrast to the first year ' s enrollment in the old school on the hill. There were just sixty in that little band and the greater portion of them entered as seniors. At the rate of increase since 1882, how many freshmen will enter in 1982? But of all the motley throng, the class that entered in Sep- tember of 1915 must, in the words of the great poet, be strictly there. When can their glory fade? Oh! the wild charge they made — All the school wondered Honor the charge they made — Honor the bright brigade — Noble four hundred.

The great and steadily growing demand for teachers prepared to •|T ■ •?j| take classes of one or more grades and to teach all K k pK subjects accounts for this. There are certain basal ' . Bj courses which all students enrolled in this depart- ment must take, but aside from that, they are free to choose their electives. These are generally selected from the special departments, as the Fine Arts, Manual Arts or Home Economics. The General Department includes such courses as psychology, education, history, science, English, mathematics, geography and methods in various subjects. The courses in nature study and agriculture are splendid and offer great opportimities to those who are able to take advantage of them. In fact, there are so many good courses offered that it is impossible to take as many as desired in the two years and many students return for post- graduate work. The problem of preparing teachers to assume the responsi- bilities that come with teaching is a very great one and the courses of the General Department are planned with this point in view. When the Normal School opened last September, the General Professional students were very happy to find that their new home was to be in the largest and most imposing building on the campus, Millspaugh Hall. With eager enthusiasm they entered into the spirit of the school and made Millspaugh Hall the center of the school life. The students of this department so far outnumber the other departments that it is not surprising most of the student body and class offices are filled by them. They endeavor to maintain the standard of their department in their discharge of the duties of the various offices, and their enthusiasm and staunch support of all school activities wins for them the hearty admiration of everyone in the institution. 57 THE KINDERGARTEN DEPARTMENT HE Kindergarten Department was organized in the fall of 1896, and is thus the oldest of the special de- M T partments of the school. For many years it was the •? 53|only kindergarten department connected with a Rb lQpi {[i State Normal School in California. Now there is ' ' one at San Jose, organized last fall. All of our graduates are members of the Kindergarten Alum- nae Association, which has been the means of binding into a whole the members of the different classes and keeping alive their interest in their Alma Mater and the Kindergarten De- partment. It is to the interest of this association that the depart- ment owes its charming bungalow home. When the new Normal School buildings were planned, a committee of the Alumnae waited upon Dr. Millspaugh and received his consent to the erection of a separate building. Their interest did not cease after the build- ing was secured, but each class contributed to a fund for furnish- ings. The pretty alumnae room, the curtains, rugs, and those things which serve to make the building so homelike were their gift. The department this year is larger than ever before. One hundred-thirty students have registerd; five were graduated in December, four in March, and forty-five will leave in June, the largest graduating class so far. But, in spite of the large classes, we are not able to meet the demands for kindergarten teachers. The kindergarten movement has had a new impetus the last two years. New kindergartens are being opened in al- most every city and town of Southern California. We are proud, however, not so much of our members as of our growing departmental and school spirit. The kindergarten girls will be found as members of almost all school organizations, and are loyal supporters of both the student body and student government organizations. This does not weaken in any way their enthusiasm for their own kindergarten club. This club meets once each month for social purposes and for the further- ance of kindergarten work. At times, it combines with the Alum- nae Association so that graduate and under-graduate members of the department are brought into touch with each other. 58 The aim of the department is to train students that they may go out into the kindergarten and first grade work well equipped to teach little children; that they may understand thor- oughly the principles and methods of our great leader, Froebel; that they be well grounded in present-day psychology and peda- gogy; that they may appreciate the best and truest that is being done in education today, and, be sensitive to truth and open to the light. But, above all, our emphasis is placed upon woman- hood, upon character, upon the development in the student her- self of those ideals which make her a fit leader and guide for little children, a child gardener in the truest sense. We believe there is no higher work for women than child culture and that the girl who will work earnestly, faithfully, and joyfully, at this task will find her reward in deeper womanhood, widening vision, and richer life. ELIZABETH J. MASCORD. 59 ■ i I Hp S ' MBP fg BB CHARLOTTE MERRILL HILDA MUTTON VANTIA WELFER HILDA MUTTON THE SPACE ARTS IN EDUCATION I HE call to fuller living in an age tending toward intense specialization and narrow interests, is essentially a challenge to the public school, since it is her function to make possible for each indi- vidual a complete realization of life, spiritually as well as materially. If, as some one has said, It is the spirit in which life is lived that determines its quality and value, then surely, whatever makes for the growth of the capacity to meet the needs of a higher life should receive, at least, equal consideration with those which pertain to material needs. The opportunity for such development exists, in particular, in those subjects of the school curriculum included under the head of Fine Arts. These differing in their modes of expres- sion and in their tone of appeal still have one aim in common. Therefore, what might be said of the value of one, applies, in like manner, to the others. Let us turn, in particular, to that phase of art which deals with the world of form and color as expressed in architecture, sculpture, painting and the crafts grouped under the general term Space Arts. It is the purpose of this article to indicate, briefly, the place of the Space Arts in education, and the aims and methods as exemplified in the highest educational thought. Acknowledging that man does not live by bread alone we see in art its own excuse for being. Everjrwhere, under all conditions, art has been the manifestation of the creative forces of life, the aspirations and hopes as well as the imperfections of humanity. Life and art are inseparable. The fineness of one attests to the worth of the other. But, unfortunately for many, the true significance of art has become perverted. For these, its name suggests various things, all deviating from the true path. For some, it may mean an indulgence, conditioned by wealth, for connoisseurs and artists to enjoy; for others, the discussion of isms within a circle of the club; and finally, to those others, hardly less unfortunate, how often is its meaning restricted to an object of art reserved for the front parlor as a testimonial of taste and refinement. To allow such misconceptions to exist is to deprive humanity of 61 the exercise and enjoyment of its rightful inheritance. The injustice of such a condition makes more urgent the need of spreading broadcast through the medium of the public the true gospel of art. The causes for such misconceptions may be found partially in that system of art teaching which chooses drawing as its title, attempting to justify that designation. Such teaching, mistaking the means for the end, thus emphasizing the mere representation of nature, is best expressed by what Mr. Dow calls nature imitation or analytic art study. This system left out of account the most important factor in all art expression, the expression of the individual ' s feeling or emotion through the creation of harmony. Consequently, drawing tended to appeal in particular to those with special aptitude in reproducing forms. It became essentially undemocratic in character, a closed book for many. Such a system could not go far in developing the individual ' s capacity for interpreting the facts of nature in terms of beauty and applying to his life. To counteract the effect of the analytic system it becomes obvious that the aims and methods of sound art teaching must be based on a different thought. Art study, if its aim is to develop higher efficiency in the individual, must awaken his vision to the beauty underlying all life; and since expression is essential to the individual ' s develop- ment, art study must also work for the growth of his capacity to take the materials of nature, and with these create such harmony that the world shall become a better place in which to live. The form of art training which is today working for the realization of these ideals is called Synthetic Art Study. As its name implies, it approaches the subject from the creative side, having as its principal aim the development of Appreciation, the ability to perceive the beautiful and to enjoy it. Existing potentially in all, its capacities for growth are infinite if given the proper incentives and guided along the right paths. Synthetic Art Study is not bound by rules or formulas. It does not wait for accumulation of facts. It regards technic as a means, a by-product of expression, and not an end in itself. Believing that appreciation and creation go hand in hand, it begins at once with creation, or individual expression, using the simple elements of the space arts which are line, dark-and- 62 light, and color. Guided by these important principles, Propor- tion, Subordination and Rythm, Synthetic Art seeks to create harmony or beauty. These may be obtained through the spacing and grouping of a few lines, or in the arrangement of a color scheme. The exercises or steps in the creative study of art, sequentially arranged, gain in complexity and widen in scope parallel with the ever increasing capacity of the individual for appreciation and creation. At the same time the study of repro- ductions of world ' s masterpieces in architecture, sculpture, painting, and the crafts gives new impetus to creation and clarifies idea s. Through it all, the ability to criticise, to choose, and to explain such choices is made an important factor. Finally, since knowledge stopping with theory is at best half knowledge, the application of it to the needs of life is made clear and definite. The great revelation of Synthetic Art Study is this, that in as far as we are able to create harmony we are in that degree artists. We may not design a wondrous cathedral, nor carve a statue, nor paint a picture. It may be so simple a thing as the arrangement of a bowl of flowers, or the planning of a room, but the beauty which we may create with these means is one with the beauty of the Parthenon. He who comes to the realization of this truth is enabled to penetrate to a deeper understanding f the creative forces underlying art and hence to a more profound appreciation of beauty. Art education for the public will have fulfilled its function when it shall have given to all the understanding that, art applied to the demands of everyday life, and wrought by heart, and mind, and hand is the greatest and truest art. VICTORIA AVAKIAN. 63 STUDENTS ' CRAFT WORK 64 HANDY CRAFTSMEN The long slanting rays of the setting moon threw the graceful shadows of the arches across the corridors. The locked doors of the Manual Arts Building swung silently open, and the weird shapes of a bone folder, sliding smoothly along; a ball-mill, revolving with monotonous, noisy jar; a planishing hammer, rapping the head of a stake with unerring precision; a motley hued dye pot; and a wobbly basket, leaning on a broken reed, crept stealthily forth. The pallid light, reflected from the hammer ' s shining face, revealed a small leather purse already perched against the pillar of an arch, anxiously peering into the semi-darkness. Oh, sighed the hammer, releasing for a moment the abused and battered stake, How sweet is the night silence! AH day long my ears ring with the endless jar and clamor until I fain would let my face tarnish from idleness. I am called upon to produce desk sets, bowls and lamps until, in vengeful rage, I turn in my captor ' s hands and cut moons in his copper. I work amid saw-filings and acids, on solder and beeswax, in an infinite variety of ways. The clang of the mallet and shaping hammer vie in strident tones to drown the melody of my voice, while the whirring buffer sings in a monotone. Without me the cases would be void of interest, for, until I have vested each piece with the charming reflection of my face imprinted upon its surface, it is unworthy of display. Indeed! You esteem yourself too highly, my arrogant friend, cried the ball-mill, turning over with a clatter. My glazes are what make the cases worth while. Though shaped with fine feeling and fired with care, who cherishes plain biscuit ware? I embellish its figure and lend it the grace of my exquisite color and sheen. Of course, the kiln helps me by blending my elements, but I am the power that draws the admirers. My placques and my vases are charming to see, and my finely glazed lamps lend their beauty to your shades. You ' re both wrong, wavered the basket, staggering weakly on its broken spoke. My department attracts all the young pedagogues. Model villages, with churches and groceries and Eskimo villages placed side by side with the brown, rolling prairie, whose sheep ranch spreads out over the mesa into the 6S infinite distance where herds of clay lambs gambol in tissue paper grasses, are the real attractions of the department. On the shelves range a serried rank of multifold paper forms while, from the deck of an ocean liner, and the seat of a birch bark canoe, small figures look out over a sea of baskets woven from grasses, reeds, and what-not, large and small, while the Normal Lights gaze in awed amazement and glory in the perfection of their products. Everyone knows me — none can escape the terror and exasperation of my splintered stake! I am a night- mare to every General Professional. But you ' re not so important as I, whined the bone folder, as a damp glue-spot on its side hirng tenaciously to the cement. My department has grown so extensively that we have over- flowed into the basement of the Library. Choppers, cutters, benches and backers, together with a stove and a sink, so clutter the bindery that we must resort to storing part of our equipment in the hall. I am always on the spot where the rub comes, and never a box or a portfolio, pad, or book, is turned out but has felt the cool touch of my firm pressure. In the commercial book- binding, I am constantly at hand, and I have even been known to cause a split in the board. I did such marvelous work that it was exhibited in the Library for all to see, and next year I have been promised a chance to learn the finishing processes. But he forgot me, came a shrill tone from between pursed lips. Why, without him, my very existence would be impossible. In no other school is such beautifully finished leather work produced. Every edge is skived clean and true, and mounted with skill and precision, but the bone folder turns down my corners and rubs my neat gussets until I become as a commercial product, with the added charm of good materials, harmonious colors, and lovely proportions. Oh! we are all so worth while and each answers a purpose which no other can fill with such perfection, murmured the generous purse, that to quarrel bemeans us. We are all of a kind and the products of the best known department of the school. Best known? whistled the night wind as it swung back the heavy doors. Surely, responded the purse, for don ' t we make the most noise? 66 THE MANUAL ARTS DEPARTMENT SHOPS Perhaps in no other department of the State Normal School have such marked improvements been inaugurated as in the Man- uel Arts shops during the past year. These shops are now equip- ped to produce anything from a toy wagon to a boat motor. Ma- chine design and pattern making have become live problems in the department, and the work done by the students under capable instructors not only affords valuable practice and experience for the students, but has a commercial value to the State in the furnishing of the school shops. Patterns for drawing tables, tool cabinets, and lumber stacks set up in the Manual Arts shops will not only provide Normal School equipment, but will serve to fur- nish equipment for other schools. Small orders for unusual or im- proved equipment that no manufacturer can afford to accept can be filled here and will develop the trade side of the Manual Train- ing movement. Those students who entered the Manual Arts Department of the Normal School at the old camping ground on Grand Ave., and who expected to graduate from the new school this year, have waited very patientlv and uncomplaininglv for that great event. The equipment of the old school was very i ncomplete and unsatisfactory, but this year the department is housed in one of the most perfectly appointed buildings of this beautiful new school. By way of introducing you into the secrets of Manual Train- ing, suppose you make a visit to the Shops and see for your- self what the students are doing, and why they have received so much of practical value from the course. The draughting room is the logical starting point. The drawing tables and drawing boards were designed and constructed by the students in the shops, and it is to this room that the shopmen come to plan and draught their work. If blue prints are needed, the printing room, especially fitted for this part of the work, is but a few steps away. Next you would go to the stock room, where you will see the lumber neatly stacked in the racks. The frames of these racks are made of three-inch wrought iron pipe, and were designed and constructed by the members of the department. The work was 67 hard but the result was worth while. Let us follow a piece of lumber from the stock room to the finished product. First it is taken to the swing saw, where it is cut to the approximate lengths in the rough. . Next the board goes through the planer, over the jointer and finally to the buzz saw, where it is cut to the exact size required. Now if you have been a careful observer and watched the process closely, you have seen that the operator was able to do his work without making an extra step and without a moment ' s loss of time. Why? Because each piece of machinery was defi- nitely located for the purpose of saving the workman steps and enabling him to do his work in the minimum amount of time. The locating of these machines, the lathes, the mortising machine, and the sander was planned on paper, under the direction of a most able instructor, long before the equipment had arrived. Occasion- ally a few minor changes were made in moving a machine a few inches to a slightly more advantageous position. The machine shop is at the north end of the shop building. In this room the same careful planning and locating of a large amount of fine new machinery for the purpose of economizing in labor and time is readily seen. All machines are carefully guard- ed and protected, and all possibility of accident is eliminated ex- cept from pure carelessness. This course is a very practical and valuable one from the beginning of the first term until the close of the last term. The Junior C classes are required to make a simple problem which will give them the necessary acquaintance and familiarity with the equipment and tools. As they become better acquainted with the work and accustomed to what is seemingly a noisy class with- out a purpose, they are absorbing a large amount of information, very little of which will ever be forgotten. At the beginning of the second term they are ready for almost any problem, from taborets, tables and chairs to complicated problems in pattern making. When a student graduates from this department of the Nor- mal School he feels that he can go into any school and take charge of the classes in a workman-like, business-like and teacher-like way. Practical work will be demanded of him all the time in any school, and with the practical experience in the shops to back him up, he should meet success wherever he goes. 68 S f m L - J V flVHMfei Bi .

This year, for the first time, a course in Bacter- iology has been offered. The common bacteria of the household is emphasized and, in this way, the importance of household sanitation is distinctly demonstrated. There is also a course in General Organic Chemistry. This is a foundation for courses in the study of foods and their manufacture, chemical composition, and the reaction. The work of this course is closely corelated with the classes in Cookery I and II, the same material being studied in both classes at a given time. Besides Organic Chem- istry, a course is given in household chemistry. The course takes up fuels, water, cleansing agents, and the removal of stains. Each girl is required to take four semesters of sewing and one of millinery. Here, she is taught not only the making of clothes, but economy in buying, the choosing of proper apparel for different occasions, and the necessity of submitting to her individual needs. In Cookery I, II and III, various food constituents are studied along with the principles and methods of the cookery of each class of food stuffs. In the advance classes, marketing is taken up, also the planning of menus, the preparation and serving of meals, and the management of school cafeterias. The course in dietetics affords the application of physiology facts, as well as the study of the principles of cookery. Food values, food requirements, individual dietaries, and family diet- aries, constitute the materials used in this class. With such a complete course as this, the Home Economics Department should be most successful in accomplishing their aim,— to send into the world efficient Home Makers. -1 SPECIAL MUSIC DEPARTMENT BOUT five years ago, before the dream of this institution as it now stands had dawned in the minds of its promoters, changes and progressive ideas were flourishing in the old building on Grand Avenue. Under the directorship of Mrs. Jennie Hagan Goodwin the idea of a Special Music Depart- ment, for the training of Supervisors of Music, was advanced and carried out successfully. Since that time the growth of the department, both in numbers of students and in the significance of its work, has demonstrated the determination of the department to meet the demand in the educational world for teachers of this subject. In the old attic quarters of the music department, in spite of crowded conditions and insufficient equipment, the students of the department were ardent in their work, and, with the enthusiasm of pioneers, ignored these minor difficulties and gained the respect and admiration of the school for their co-operative spirit and the enthusiasm that they brought to any venture in which they took part. The last year was filled with anticipation of the comfort and opportunities of the coming vear, when, in the Fine Arts building of the new Normal School the Music Department would go upon its way with new life and vigor. In September, 1914, these anticipations were more than fulfilled. From quarters consisting of four small rooms, with a limited supply of music books and pianos, the department found itself luxuriously housed in the lower floor of one of the seven buildings of the new school, with spacious rooms having the most modern equipment and an outlook on the green fields and shelter- ing mountains that make the location of the school such an ideal one. With the change in environment came another change, which, though replete with opportunity for the department, was received with regret by all who knew and loved Mrs. Goodwin. Mrs. Goodwin, having retired from the directorship of the department, her place was filled by Miss Frances A. Wright, up to that time. Supervisor of Music of the city schools of Des Moines, Iowa. Miss Wright ' s work there and in other large 72 cities in the east, has attracted wide attention among musicians at large as well as those interested in public school music. She has brought to the department an executive ability and a genius for organization which has not only held the department up to the high standard of excellence expected of it, but has advanced this standard, and at the same time has presented to the students the various viewpoints on the subject of public school music gathered by her in her wide experience. Fired with enthusiasm for the value and importance of the work for which Miss Wright has given so much of her energy and genius, the students of the department entered into their work with a spirit of co-operation which has characterized all of the activities of the department. The year 1914 saw the development of manv new organ- izations, planned on a working basis. The Girls G-lee Club, already an established factor, at once began practice. The orchestra, str ing quartette, and Mens Glee Club were formed and at once began work. These organizations have all at different times during the year given excellent programs in the assembly. A new feature in the department under Miss Wrierht was the regular department meetings which are held everv Monday at the ninth period. These meetings were devoted to the discus- sion of topics of general interest, to the practice of new songs, and, the latter part of the term, to rehearsals for Miss Melodicus, an original operetta written by a member of the department, which was given by the music department on June tenth. As a result of Miss Wright ' s efforts, arrangements were made for members of the music department who were qualifying for secondary certification to cadet in the high schools and intermediate schools of this city. Of the seventeen candidates for graduation, eight were able to take advantage of this oppor- tunity which has never before been given to the students of this school. Notwithstanding that work ' s the thing the social side of life has not been neglected. The Get-Acquainted party given by the Seniors, the Christmas party given by the Juniors, and the luncheon given by the department in honor of Miss Wright are among the festive gatherings enjoyed during the year. 73 The music department is particularly fortunate in the members of its faculty. Miss Myrtle Blewett, who needs no introduction to the students of this school, is herself a graduate of the Los Angeles State Normal School. She is doing work of a character that endears her to all who come in contact with her and makes her classes a joy. Miss Suzanne Gough, who is also a graduate of this school, supervises with Miss Bamhart the music in the Training School. She is ever helpful to all who have the privilege of teaching under her direction. Miss Mabel Barnhart, who has only been a member of the faculty for a little more than a year, is a graduate of the Illinois Wesleyan College of Music, and has taken work in public school music at the University of Illinois and the Institute of Musical Art in New York. The quality of work done by Miss Barnhart has made her a very popular member of the music faculty. Miss Frances Wright, Director of the department, is well known and loved by the entire school. She is a graduate of the Lincoln Normal University and a post-graduate of Grinell College. She has taught in Evanston University and also in the Chicago and Boston Summer Schools for Music Supervisors. For a number of years she held the position of Director of Music in the public schools of Des Moines and also in the music depart- ment of Drake University. This is a brief summary of some of the changes which have taken place in the evolution of the department. It is to be hoped that in the coming years even more and better things may come to it, so that it may constantly grow in aims, ideals and efficiency. THE CAFETERIA UST beyond the Kindergarten building, and across from the shops stands our cafeteria. The build- ing is white and of the same general plan as the Kindergarten, making a pleasing contrast to the more somber iDrick buildings that house the larger part of the Normal students. The interior arrange- ments are very modem and complete. The large dining hall, running the full length of the building, is as well equipped as any cafeteria in the city. An atmosphere of cheer and comfort pervades the cool white room, where three hundred and fifty people can easily be seated at one time. Since the Normal School is so far removed from the center of Los Angeles, the cafeteria is a very necessary feature of our school. Great care has been exercised in the selection of a per- fect equipment for the kitchen as well as the dining hall. Every precaution has been taken to secure the best, and the plant is a model of its kind. It has many visitors, experts from various parts of the state, and professionals from the city, as well, come to study the arrangement and equipment installed here. It will perhaps be interesting to know that approximately three thou- sand dollars have been put into the kitchen equipment alone. The main object of the cafeteria is to serve hot lunches, clean, well cooked and nourishing, to the students at the lowest price possible. In a school that requires hard, rapid work, and earnest study such a lunch is very necessary. Mrs. Shoe- maker has devoted her time and thought, as well as her ingenuity, toward the preparation of foods that will meet the requirements of every teacher and student in the school. The lunch hours are from eleven o ' clock to one-thirty. However, the management of the cafeteria wishes to accommodate all members of the school in any way possible, and for those who have no time for lunch or who wish a piece between meals, sandwiches and pie may be obtained at the back door of the cafeteria at almost any time of the day. There are others whose lunch hours are too short to allow them time to go to the cafeteria, and it is for these especially that the lunch counter in the Training School arch has been estab- lished. Here, sandwiches, fruit, pie, cookies and candies are on 75 sale. This lunch counter has proved to be very popular, espec- ially with the Training School children, who much prefer an all- day sucker to a sandwich for lunch. This preference has been quite actively discouraged, however, and the children are learn- ing to appreciate food values in the choice of their lunches. All foods prepared in the cafeteria are made from the best materials that can be purchased in the markets. There are no adulterations whatsoever, and monev is not spared in securing the very freshest and best. After the food reaches the cafeteria it is well handled and kept in a strictly clean, sanitary condition in the storeroom until used. Foods are never kept over very long, for Mrs. Shoemaker believes in buving close. Varietv is the snice of life, and you will alvravs find a wide varietv of foods on the counter from which to choose. There are certain standard dishes which may be obtained everv dav; for example, there is always one hot soup, a choice of at least two meats, always hash, potatoes, vegetables, macaroni or beans, sandwiches, salads, three to five kinds of x ie. three other kinds of dessert, three kinds of ice cream, buttermilk, tea and coffee. Possibly it would interest vou to know that one-half of those who eat at the cafeteria take soup; one-half take macaroni or beans, one-third hash, one-third salads, one-fourth a ten-cent meat dish, one-half dessert, three-tenths vegetables, and one- tenth take tea or coffee. The average price paid for a meal at the cafeteria is fourteen cents per student. But that is really not surprising if you know how to select a lunch. It is quite easy to select a well balanced meal for ten or fifteen cents. I have frequently heard girls say, I can ' t afford to go to the cafeteria, so I bring my lunch from home. The trouble with these girls is that they do not know how to buy a lunch. There is no single article sold for over ten cents, and many articles may be had for three or five cents. To prove that one need not be wealthy to patronize the cafeteria, here are several sample menus, at dif- ferent prices, which are types of good wholesome lunches. There are many combinations other than these which would meet the same requirements. SAMPLE MENUS Ten- Cent Lunch 1. Hot soup and a sandwich. 3. Hash and a fruit pie. 2. Sandwich and a fruit salad. 4. Meat pie. 76 Fifteen- Cent Lunch 1. A meat dish, potatoes, dessert or salad. Eighteen- Cent Lunch 1. Hash, hot rolls and butter, pie a ' la mode. 2. Baked beans and brown bread, baked apple or salad, pie or ice cream. Twenty- Cent Lunch 1. Meat pie, baked apple or salad, any dessert. 2. Hot soup, salad, sandwich, ice cream. In selecting your lunch do not repeat food values; a glass of milk, hot cornbread and butter, and a baked apple, is a perfectly balanced meal. If you take milk do not take meat, or vice versa; if you take cheese dishes no meat is required, but rather a salad or a dessert. Every one is welcome at the cafeteria. If you prefer to bring your sandwiches from home, you will be welcome to come to the dining room to eat them, provided that you buy at least a five- cent dish at the cafeteria. This will pay for the handling of the dishes which you use. There has been a rumor whispered through the school that the cafeteria is owned by Mrs. Shoemaker, the competent man- ager, but these rumors are absolutely ungrounded and should be stamped out. The cafeteria is owned by the state; it was built by the state, and its equipment purchased by Mrs. Shoemaker for the state; therefore, it is a part of the Los Angeles State Normal School and belongs to us. However, the plant must be operated out of its income, and should the students and faculty fail to sup- port it, the cafeteria would be forced to close as there is no pri- vate fund to maintain it. The cafeteria is operated as a professional plant with a staff of paid help working on full time. Besides the regular force, there is an opportunity for students to make a little money at noon. Mrs. Shoemaker pays the girls twenty cents per hour for their time. This is paid in money and not in lunches. Dishes, silver, glasses and trays are rented at reasonable rates to the students for their luncheons and parties. In addition to this the cafeteria will give any organization which buys through it the advantage of wholesale prices. Considerable cater- ing for organizations and class lunches has been done. 77 J THE LIBRARY HE Library is a friend in need, and A friend in need is a friend indeed — especially when one is attempting to make up fifteen weeks of overdue . - — reference work in one. This is not the only purpose •i 53| for which the Library is used. f||PSI Hidden away on numerous shelves are over twenty-five thousand books. There are reference books, literature, supplementary and children ' s books, bo nd periodicals, current magazines and pamphlets. The demand for these is so great that it is necessary to employ two librarians, regardless of the fact that twenty-five students are enrolled in the Library class. A room is set aside for the children, and, to make the use of the Library less difficult for them, many classes are devoting some time to Library work. The ninth grade literature class spend one hour a week in the building. There, they learn how to use encyclopedias and dictionaries, besides the classification of books. At present, each student is making a bibliography on some subject of interest to him. It is greatly due to the untiring efforts of Miss Fargo and her assistants that the Normal School is able to boast of an especially fine School Library. PAINTING IN OIL BY LORITA BATES WORK DONE BY B 7 BOYS, UNDER SUPERVISION OF MISS LORITA BATES 79 DEPARTMENT OF PRACTICE TEACHING To the north of Millspaugh Hall, stands a large and pictur- esquely situated building, known as the Training School. From the archway of this building is seen one of nature ' s beautiful pictures, — a picture of palms, eucalyptus trees, wild flowers, roll- ing hills and lofty mountains. Could anyone not enjoy teaching in a building situated so charmingly? Mr. Everett J. Shepardson, assisted by Miss Bertha Wells and Miss Helen Matthewson, supervise the department of Prac- tice Teaching. Miss Kate Osgood is principal of the Training School and has a large staff of efficient teachers. The work done by the pupils in the Training School is most interesting. It is marvelous to see the progress made by the little first graders. In the second grade some splendid work in freehand paper cutting has been done. Over the blackboard in the large room may be seen a frieze representing the Pied Piper of Hamlin. The third grade children completed a very interesting prob- lem in clay modeling; an old medieval castle with turrets and moat, a tournament in progress, the particulars of which were knights mounted on noble clay steeds. The fourth grade made several studies of the missions of California, some of which were worthy of exhibition. The fifth grade were hosts to their mothers for one whole day. Classes were conducted in much the same manner as when there are no visitors. An operetta, Christmas at Sea, was given by the sixth grade. This operetta was one of the most successful and remu- nerative entertainments given by the kiddies. The seventh, eighth and ninth grades form an intermediate high school. Languages and ancient history, besides the cus- tomary subjects, are taught. In former years, the student teachers received all of their training in teaching in the Training School, but the enrollment of students has greatly increased and several schools are now used as supplemental schools, while many students are sent out to do cadet work. 80 PRINTER ' S INK FIRST PRIZE To print nothing of a man which he did not say to his face; to print nothing of a man in malice; to look well and think twice before consigning a suspect to the ruin of printer ' s ink. — Henry Watterson. The first thing Brian Peregrine did after his hopeful entry into Los Angeles, was to find the nearest motorcycle store and inspect the salesman ' s stock of second-hand machines. Brian was a budding young newspaper man with a Latin cognomen hardly worth mentioning and a sturdy Anglo-Saxon Christian name which represented quite all of the admirable qualities of his nature. After puttering for half an hour over several makes, Brian bought the best first-class second-hand machine in the shop. His reasons for this purchase were two-fold, first, he would need a motorcycle if he secured a newspaper position; and, second, he would need one if he didn ' t, for with the addition of a portable delivery box and a side wheel, Brian expected to resort to the altruistic occupation of accommodating the public by de- livering groceries personally to them. Before he set about the more serious business of landing the city editors, however, Brian rode out to the auto-park and made a trial spin with his new machine. After the wind had blown his brains clear, he returned to the business district and applied for work at the editorial rooms of the largest newspaper in town. He ended by resorting to the smallest, and at the end of that time awoke to the realization that not one of the city editors had consented to the matter of being landed. For the next few days, Brian occupied himself with spins on his motor, spare lunches at the Three Comrades Restaurant, and frequent visits to the press rooms, where he hopefully waited for something to turn up. The remainder of his time he spent studying the best text on journalism to be had at the public library. And, because he was determined not to waste a minute even though he had many to waste, he formed the habit of prop- ping Essentials in Journalism on the sugar bowl and reading while he digested his meals. 81 He was starting the chapter entitled The Structure of the News Story one noon, when a long thin arm reached out and unceremoniously grasped the book. Brian turned quickly and looked into the face of a brusque, thin man who asked him curtly if he was in the newspaper business. No, answered Brian, but I expect to be before the week is out. Then, for the sake of conversation, he pointed out a few statements in the book which pleased him, and finished his pork and beans in silence. The thin man thumbed the pages of the book carelessly for a few moments, then nodded briefly and left. The next morning Brian received a notice to report at the edi- torial rooms of the largest newspaper in the city. He reached there in ten minutes and was given his first assignment by his thin acquaintance of the Three Comrades Restaurant. Brian felt a particular attachment for his old friend, Es- sentials in Journalism, which he considered had brought him his position, and, with his first week ' s salary, bought a clean, new copy. He remembered that Horace Greeley had once declared that the only way to become a successful journalist was to sleep on a newspaper and eat ink. So Brian kept the book under his pillow at night and by the side of his typewriter by day, and, in six weeks had risen to take the most responsible reporting posi- tion on the staff. His copy was always run clean and his as- signments covered the most important local items of the day. Ever since his engagement, Brian had been curious to know how the city editor had found out his name and address and one morning inquired for himself. We newspaper men learn to save our breath for necessary questions, Mr. Fiano replied shortly and went on drawing thick blue lines through the modifiers in a choice specimen of long- winded copy. The next minute, Brian could have pinched him- self for being so thick-witted. Mr. Fiano had seen his name on the card in the pocket of the library book, of course, he thought sheepishly. One morning Brian was sent for by Fiano and given the big story for that day. It was an interview with the defendant in a sensational divorce case which was rocking the city with its suspense and melodramatic testimonies. Remember the public wants sensation, said Mr. Fiano meaningly. 82 Brian reached the court room some time before the witnesses were to be called, but the galleries were already filled. In the jury room behind the bench, he found the defendant, a despond- ent, heavy-hearted woman who looked as if she anything but welcomed the notoriety of her position. Even during the first few days of the trial, as a result of the opprobrium attached to her name, she had received showers of fruit, flowers, and letters of sympathy from a condoling public, who were chiefly occupied in drawing quick conclusions from visionary and unsubstantial sources. Although nothing definite had, as yet, been revealed, the newspapers of the city were publishing enough circumstantial evidence, hearsay, and positive proof to convict a regicide of a complexity of crimes. Brian sat down and opened the conversation with a few di- rect questions which the defendant promptly refused to answer. You newspaper men have no honor, she said pitifully, biting her lip to keep back the tears. I try to say something to the people simply, and you quote me as having made a sensa- tional disclosure. You print pages of facts that are utterly fa se. all because a few of you men are willing to sacrifice honor for the sake of a feverish public. If you have any remnant of respect left, you will not force me to say anything which will increase my misery. Brian forgot to take mental notes. He was consumed with a great sense of shame that he had ever consented to go on such an errand. You needn ' t be afraid, he said, reaching out his hand, I will tell them at the ofl ce that you have refused to be inter- viewed. Brian did not wait for her to answer, but left hurriedly, with the desire to save her the pain of losing her self-control before a man — and a journalist. In the time that he made his way back to the office, as is the way with minds, his thoughts raced on at lightning pace. Out in the open, away from the pleadings of the sad-eyed defendant, his sympathy was replaced by a realization of the glorious possi- bilities of the scene he had just witnessed. With a few little em- bellishments, he could make that interview the sensation of the trial and the fortune of the paper — his paper. All newspapers stretched a point — it was part of the game. And after all, the 83 public wanted sensation, sensation, sensation, the word had divided itself into syllables and was beating time to the rhythmic throbbing of his motor — the motor without the portable delivery box, thought Brian strangely, just as if that had anything to do with the question at hand. At the office excitement was high, for a new clue had been discovered and conclusions and positive statements were being ticked off, both wholesale and retail, by energetic and imaginative reporters. Got it done already? yelled Mr. Fiano in the midst of the clack of the typewriters and the rumble of the big presses under the floor. Brian shook his head. Well, what ' s into you? vociferated Mr. Fiano, trying out for the position of umpire at a baseball game? Brian leaned close to the editor ' s ear and replied, with a vivid picture of the portable delivery box appearing suddenly in his mind, There isn ' t anything to say. The jury has not given its decision and we have no right to print news on the basis of con- jecture. Mr. Fiano looked at him with a dazed expression and then rose. Do you see that door? he snarled. Now get! Brian took his hat and went out. He felt unusually calm considering the imminence of the delivery box, and rode his motor around the race track all afternoon. He went to bed that night in full possession of both his senses and his self respect, and positively refused to hang himself on the chandelier for the sake of fresh sensation for the morning papers. The next morning he sat in his own place in the park and read The Essentials with great interest. About noon he bought a choice sausage for a fagged dog which had appealed to his sympathy because they both seemed to be out of a job. The dog followed him when he rode out to the tracks later and raced energetically at Brian ' s side when he started on his first revolution around the field. But the spe ed of the motorcycle soon proved too great, for the dog fell behind resignedly and trotted back to his starting place, where he waited patiently for the return of his new master. Time after time he repeated the same performance, watching the swift turns of the machine with tense muscles and excited eyes, dashing out after it with fresh ardor when it came opposite him, falling back when the speed 84 proved too great, and returning to take his old stand with the same patient resignation. It never occurred to him to cut across the field or to follow the machine along an inside smaller circle. A set of muscular reactions once established, no matter how unsuccessful they proved, it was impossible for his dog- nature to break. After an hour of this performance, Brian slowed up and looked at the dog contemplatively. Poor old fellow, he said thoughtfully, you ' re in a rut, and then, just because he was out of a job, circled the field slowly, snapping his fingers and whistling to the dog. The collie, overjoyed at this unexpected attention, raced delightedly at his master ' s side, barking and making frequent excited jumps into the air to show his general appreciation. Anyone else might not have seen the similarity between the dog and the man, but Brian did. We ' re two of a kind, he said suddenly, for I don ' t seem to know how to light out into anything new any more than collie here. He bought another sausage for the dog before he left for San Francisco next morning. He arrived there just twelve hours before the first shocks of the greatest calamity of its kind in the history of the country shook the earth. It is a newspaper man ' s most compelling instinct in times of great national import, to get the news of the important event to his own paper in time to secure for it a scoop over all the rival publications of the city. A loyal reporter will perform this service of journalistic patriotism no matter what the danger to his personal comfort or safety. With the first severe shocks of the earthquake, Brian stag- gered down the reeling stairs of his hotel to the street, and jumped across a rift in the sidewalk three feet wide on his way to the telegraph office. When he arrived there, he ran into the telegraph operator coming out. The wires were down and no connections could be made. Brian thought quickly, then started to the ferry on a dead run. Once he saw a street car sink into a gap in the street as if it had suddenly grown tired and laid down to rest. He boarded the ferry with a crowd of men, women and children w ho were impelled with the one idea of flight, without distinctly knowing where to fly to. When he reached the Oakland shore, he rushed into a telegraph office and sent the 85 first message which left San Francisco informing the world of the great catastrophe. It was addressed to his paper and read, Great earthquake in San Francisco. Rush somebody up quick. In half an hour he received the brief reply, Get busy yourself — Fiano. For the next three days, Brian worked exhaustively, putting up temporary shelters in Golden Gate Park and helping with the dynamiting along Van Ness Avenue. If the public wants sensation I can surely give it to them now, said Brian to himself, and wired such accounts of death, suffering and devastation as the world had never read before. Early one morning, after the fire had subsided and relief work had been organized, Brian looked out from the top of a hill over the ruined city and wired to his paper the single sentence, And San Francisco was. Those four words, so expressive of destruction and desola- tion, were printed at the top of Brian ' s paper in large type, and copied the next day by nearly every newspaper in Cali- fornia; they were spoken by heart-broken daughters whose parents had perished; they were read by thousands in the horri- fied East; they were sounded as the cry for the organization of great relief movements all over the country. They are considered now as composing the greatest sentence in journalism. Brian became special correspondent for his paper — it would spoil the story to make him editor. Altho ' yellow journalism did not suffer a speedy death, his influence was felt to such an extent that sensation in newspaper writing, for his paper at least, became confined to fact and not fancy. And to this day the portable delivery box with the side wheel remains nothing more than a shadowy phantom haunting his dreams and lurking in dark corners. ANNETTE GLICK. 86 THE DARK CHAMBER Second Prize Never having come in contact with the ethereal things called ghosts, I had an insane desire to do so. Old people, in the country round about, told many different stories concerning an old mansion which stood in the heart of a little pine wood. But on one thing they all agreed, that the room they called the Dark Chamber was haunted. No one had lived in the old house for two decades. The reason, people said, was on account of the haunted room. Men talked in whispers when they passed near the old manse, but none of them would set foot inside its por- tals. Even in the daytime, the pines would sigh and moan rest- lessly. The very air of the place suggested ghosts and one could almost see the white-robed spectres peering from bhind the half drawn blinds. Denouncing all this as mere humbug, I decided that I would spend a night in this Dark Chamber, and prove that ghosts were merely products of the imagination. The country folk tried to persuade me to give up this mad idea, as they termed it, but I would not listen. I knew I was sound in body and mind, and as for ghosts — bah, such things did not exist. The next night I made ready to go to the manse. As I walked up the long drive to the door the pines moaned forebodingly and nodded their heads, seeming to say, It ' s of no use, it ' s of no use. A great key hung by the huge oak door challenging unbelievers to enter. I put the key in the lock, but scarcely had I touched it when the great door swung back slowly as if invisible hands pulled it from behind. I had no sooner stepped over the threshold, when a great gust of wind blew the door shut with a loud bang. There I was, left alone in the long, dark, shadowy hall of a deserted house. As I thought of this I was seized with terror, and began to tremble from head to foot. When I recovered from the first fit of terror, I looked about me, and behold— I was in the Dark Chamber. Yes, there were the black draperies, the symbols of death. The shadows of the trees outside danced on the wall, and looked as if they would leap down and seize me. My brain was in a turmoil, I uttered a piercing shriek and — when I opened my eyes there were still the black hangings. Oh, the horror of it! I tried to calm myself, but could not. I was seized with terror 87 so great that I fled from the room, down the broad stairway and out of the oaken door, never stopping until I reached my own dwelling. I know not how I opened the great door, and I remem- ber nothing of that mad flight; all I see is the black hangings of that black, black room. It was three days before I came out of my delirium, and then the country folk asked me if I agreed with them that the house was haunted. Yes, said I, but not with ghosts. It is the great demon that holds sway over the old manse. AGNES KRAEMER. MONOTYPE BY KATHERINE PRATT 8S SOCIETY Georgie Dearest: It is so jolly writing to a girl with a boy ' s name, one gets all the soupcon (which means thrills) of excite- ment with none of the necesssity of discretion. I felt positively sick when I read your last epistle. I thought of all the time I had spent constructing beautifully worded, newsy letters, not to mention the perfectly good paper I used, and to think you haven ' t received any of those twelve letters, well, maybe it was only seven, and now you want me to take a trip along memory lane and write a book upon what happened months ago and all because you persist in poking around in the darkest of obscure holes in smelly old Japan and consequently get my first letter last. I expect pretty soon it will be the Perils of Georgie we shall all see. But you know it is scads of fun to think over all the parties, so I might not mean all I say (it wouldn ' t be natural unless I did a little bit of crabbing). I want you to understand that I am taking this precious time from G. Stanley Hall ' s noted books, and I will be minus an outline for Mr. Root ' s class. Well Georgie, we had a perfectly scrumptous year. Some- thing wildlv exciting all the time. Everyone seems to have been inspired with some unique idea of fun and the nice part about them is they all seemed to get it over. Now, I call that pretty good, don ' t you? Of course this season was formally opened with the Faculty Reception for all the charming young junior debutantes, when every one blossomed out in new frocks, smiles galore and a perfectly new set of manners befitting a prospective educator. The Faculty made charming hosts and hostesses so that we all went away eager for the next day when we might meet these lovely people again. Do you remember how eagerly we used to wait for the announcement of the Student Body parties, and how we whiled away three long periods before it finally came off? ' Twill ever be the same, Georgie dear, and no wonder, they are such jolly affairs. If I were inclined to be poetic I would recoimt all these parties in glowing terms but, as it is, I can only say we had a wonderful time. I do wish you could have stayed for this first Student Body party because it was just more fun. We had the grandest time and danced till the stars came out and a knowing one made us depart for home and sustenance. You know we are just bubbling over with talented people and at every party we have a new set of stars — rather like the Orpheum circuit — and our first set came from the Faculty. My, but they can be undignified when they want to. We simply roared at Mr. Hummel in his clever impersonation of a deformed would-be agent who who wished to beautify all humanity, especially girls. Nothing pleased our young debutantes so well as the charming negro songs sung by Dr. Miller to the tune of his old banjo. After the Faculty had so delightfully entertained us we danced for their amusement, but Georgie, I fear we chose an inopportune time; they didn ' t seem to appreciate it because no more one-steps were to be had. Can ' t you pick up a hint or an idea for some new dance from the natives and introduce it over here? It would make you famous. Yes? No? (Miss Baughman). Be sure to learn the Fox-trot before you come home, each and every step; everyone does it. You know Georgie, it is mighty nice to have the distinction of being original, and I fear a certain department has gained that reputation and all due to the jinks they gave in the gjonnasium. Conventional garb was discarded for that of the boot-black and the newsie who sold evening Heralds, and you never saw such a frisky boy as Marie Prendergast made. The clowns flirted and played tricks on all the Cy Perkinses from Perkinsville Center, and the Susie Joneses who were sitting demurely by the wall. But if you could have seen our dear teachers doing chorus stunts in quaint old peasant costumes you would never go into Miss Seamen ' s or Miss Collier ' s classes with fear and trembling. I had to admit they put to shame the front row chorus girls of any musical comedy for grace, and ability to keep together. Georgie, don ' t forget to bring me one of those little bronze elephants. ' You know I love such things. That reminds me of the circus a certain group of young women of a righteous cause gave. It was a jolly affair even if most of the zoo did escape to Santa Ana for the week end, only the monkeys and the fat women remained to amuse us. I had a suspicion Elsa Waite, surrounded by pillows, was the fat woman, but someone said it was Lottie Barrow and I guess I agree with them. Anyway we had a lovely time eating peppermint candy and playing about like children. 90 Many groups have been so full of the joy of living, that the desire to give vent to their feelings has resulted in the most enticing signs, simply hiding the color of the bill-board, so numerous were they. One group had a boating party with a picnic luncheon, another took a mountain hike and still another gave a party in the gymnasium, — so you can see one can ' t remain a stranger for very long with all these chances to become acquainted. Dr. Miller believes in these get-acquainted-parties as he usually has a few excursions, which are really jolly picnics, at his delightful home in the Arroyo. The Glee Club were fortunate enough to have a party given just for them, by Dr. and Mrs. Miller. I wasn ' t there, naturally, but I heard they had the loveliest time singing and listening to the birds. Before I tell you of the other affairs, and there are many more, so don ' t get tired yet, I must tell you of the various youths who help make our parties a success. You asked about all the girls but next time do not forget the men; they are getting to be very important. You remember Bobbie Hixson, don ' t you? A party wouldn ' t be a party without Bobbie — and Harold Desmond always comes, but he seems to be satisfied in merely smiling at the giddiness of it all, sort of an older brother air, you know. Is he shy? I don ' t know, he never dances but if he doesn ' t the others make up for it. Then there is one tall, dark, self-possessed youth whose name is something like Morman, or Norman, but just because his name suggests Mormonism, to you, do not think he is frivolous for he really is adorably shy and blushes so easily. Some of the girls are horribly popular and have more suitors, but that doesn ' t spoil our party, we girls have the best time dancing together, altho ' we will admit it seems more like a real party with all the boys there. If you can ' t find an elephant you can get one of those pink silk tea robes the Japanese women wear, I think they are so attractive on a dark haired person, don ' t you, Georgie? But to go back to my story of the social events. We all went to the second Student Body Party expecting to have a grand time — and we surely did. More stars ! At every party, we, the common horde, feel our unimportance when we view such talent, yet we strive, but in vain, to be recognized as a second Pavlowa. Ellen Galpin charmed us with her graceful dancing — she is on her 91 road to fame — and Dr. Howe trod on more than ten toes with his entertaining, yet stinging, bit of poetic ability, and I ' ll wager at least two girls tried all of one day to cultivate a Jane Cowl voice. Well, we had a wonderful time dancing all the latest dances. By the way, we have the best music at these affairs even if Mr. Violin Man does t)lav a one-step instead of a hesitation. He is a big fair haired Saxon and plays with such a nonchalant air. After this party we all rested until after Christmas, when we had some plays and affairs in the Assembly for which little green and blue tickets were sold. About every week I was waylaid in the halls and made to buy a ticket. I even sold them myself for our party. Haven ' t I told you about our party ? You know, Georgie, I hate to boast, but honestly, our Exponent party was the most successful one of the season. Ruth Boyer and I had more fun getting it up and selling the tickets for it. After digging around we unearthed a bunch of talented people such as Marie Randall, Dorothy Day, and Lenore Allen. The party was absolutely a howling success because of the original stunts and the interspersing of the program with dancing. The Autumn dance by Marie Randall was adorable and the exhibition of society dances made a hit. We felt mighty proud of our party. After this, things came pretty fast as it was almost June. The Carnival was a most impressive affair, Lucile Spenser making a very beautiful and compelling queen. I always said she would get to the top, didn ' t I? If you could only have been here for Senior A Day and the class party, I should have been perfectly happy. Our Day was a glorious one, yet I couldn ' t help but feel sad as we marched from one building to the other. To me it meant that all our good times were about over. The girls looked very pretty in their white dresses. In the evening we had a reception, when the Alumni welcomed us into their fold. It was a lovely day, Georgie dear. I don ' t believe a class ever had such a ripping class party as we did, tho ' . It was a masquerade and you know how gay peo- ple can be with a little piece of black cloth over their eyes. We had it in the gymnasium which was strung with Japanese lanterns 92 and decorated so that you wouldn ' t have known it was the same place where we used to hear Forward-March! To the Rear — Halt! The eats were great, the music greater and everyone in for a good time — why say more? The last big affair was the Faculty Reception. It reminded me of the one they gave when welcoming us into the school, only now they were welcoming us as sister and brother pedagogues. My, but I felt big that day. Georgia, this is getting horribly long so I shall wait until next time to tell you of our graduation which was held outside just at sunset. Doesn ' t that sound enticing? Alright, answer this soon and you shall learn about that wonderful day. I hope you aren ' t bored with all my rambling around but I know you couldn ' t be. I have been writing just as if I were talking to you, and I wish you would do the same and tell me all about Japan. Don ' t bother about sentences and punctuations when you have so much to say. With much love from PATRICIA. P. S. — The elephant just now came, many thanks. It is a perfect dear — PAT. 93 vSTVDENT BODr Dordl lljickett Fresideijt ' Lotiie Be Vice-Presideijt ' ;evrrow AdevWeens Alepa Hendersor?

Presidetjlr Vice Presidei f ' STUDENT BODY ASSOCIATION The purposes of the Student Body Association of the Los Ansreles State Normal School are as follows: To create a school spirit, to better conduct our interest in all lines of student activity, to stren hen the feeling of interest and good will amon ourselves, to take charge of all clubs and organizations. Every student in attendance is a member of this organization. The official committee of the student bodv is called the Executive Committee. It has the power to enforce laws and assume general oversight over all activities. This committee has charere also of the Book Store, Outlook (the school organ), social affairs, athletics, and all business matters. The executive committee is composed of representative members from the groups. The work this year has been successful in all lines and many precedents have been established which will make for the srood of the school. This has been due largely to the ability of the officers and the co-operation of the students. Dorothy Thickett, the capable and enthusiastic president; Lottie Barrow, vice-president, who has unusual ability to oversee all school activities; Ada Weems, secretary, who always has something interesting to record; and Alena Henderson, treasurer, whose shrewdness and ability as a financier we all take pride in, have been the officers of this most successful year. 95 2 O O O CO CO Q O CQ H 2 Q CO STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION The Student Government Association is composed of all the students of the State Nonnal School, but the executive power rests with the Council. This Council is composed of the Presi- dent, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer of the Student Body Government Association, two faculty advisors who are appointed by the President of the school, and one representative member from each group. The officers are elected the first Tuesday after the first Monday in May by the student body at large, and hold oflBce for one year. Petitions for nominations must be signed by twenty-five members of the student body. All prospective candidates must be voted upon by the faculty, who consider their qualifications and general ability for holding office. A primary election, conducted according to the Australian ballot system, de- termines who may run for office. The conducting of the election is in charge of a special committee appointed by the President of the Student Government. A plurality of the votes cast effects the election of any officer. The primary is held at least three days before the final election and must be advertised for a week. The three members receiving the largest number of votes be- come candidates for the future election. The new officers begin their duties at the bes-inning of the term following their elections. Each council member, elected by tbis representative group, takes office immediately after his election, and serves for two terms. The purpose of this Association is to control the manage- ment of all matters concerning the conduct of students in their school life which is not reserved for the iurisdiction of the fac- ulty. The Council meets every Thursday during Assembly period to discuss problems of school conduct and to formulate rules. Among the many problems with which the Student Govern- ment Association has to deal are the following: The formation and the enforcement of rules. Attendance in classes and in Assembly. Cases of plagiarism, cheating, and theft, not directly under the jurisdiction of the faculty. General appearance of the buildings, courts, and locker rooms. Lost and found articles. Revision of the Student Government constitution. 97 Receiving, assorting, and distributing of mail. Bulletin boards. Lockers and locker keys. Individual cases of students reported by Faculty. The council has also participated in social activities. Its members entertained the Student Body with a Council Vaudeville Show and dishes for the Tower room were purchased with the money derived from the sale of the tickets. The coun- cil party also was an event not soon to be forgotten. Much is due to Margaret Menardi, President, and to Fanny Hoffman, Vice-President, who have, during the year, worked un- ceasingly and conscientiously to raise the standards of the Stu- dent Government Body. The school feels that none has ever suc- ceeded better in holding it to high ideals. The Student Government officers and those who assisted them in the work have gained executive experience and have ac- quired a wide knowledge of the school problems which confront administrative oflBcers. They have met with many difficulties and have had many serious problems to work out, many of which are still unsolved. It remains for the succeeding officers to com- plete the unfinished work. The present officers wish them suc- cess in their endeavors. The Los Angeles Normal School is to be congratulated upon its choice of officers for the coming year. Such a force cannot help but succeed. It will be an asset to our school to send forth into the world good, earnest, efficient citizens, and will make our Alma Mater the leading teachers ' school in the United States. 98 THE NORMAL OUTLOOK Perhaps no one school organization has done more for the progress of the school than the Normal Outlook, enlarged last September, to a weekly publication. Under the editorship of Annette Glick and her capable staff of reporters, the Outlook came to have an unbounded influence in school affairs. The ad- ministration awoke to the realization that the student ' s publica- tion was the most effective way of communicating with the en- tire student body at large and organizations arrived at the point where they were willing to fight for space in the paper ' s printed columns. The first term ' s editorial staff worked against incalculable difficulties, lack of credit for reporting work, and the discourag- ing skepticism of manv students, who believed that a regular weekly publication without a definitely organized journalism class was next to impossible. But the editor and her assistants quickly overcame both difficulties by securing credit for all jour- nalistic work done by reporters. For the second term, William Bell was elected Editor-in- Chief, but soon resigned and was replaced by Loraine Handyside, the present capable editor. Her chief assistants are Al Blanford, Managing Editor, and Howard Franklin, Business Manager. Without a doubt, the success of the Normal Outlook, is in great part due to the great encouragement given by the Faculty Advisor, Miss Baughman, who was occupied chiefly in letting the staff manage its own affairs and profit by its mistakes. As a re- sult of her wise supervision, many are now pointing to the Out- look as a proof that students of the school can and will organize and conduct their own affairs as systematically and efficiently without, as with adult supervision. 99 THE BOOK STORE Marrie Harris, Manager. Miss Sander and Miss Violet Mitchell, Assistants. The management of the Book Store is one of the most im- portant activities conducted by the Student Body Organiza- tion. Here, in the store room in the basement of the Library, a large stock of new and second-hand books and students ' supplies of various kinds is disposed of every year. Approximately five hundred volumes are exchanged yearly by the students through the medium of the Book Exchange. The students have two great ambitions for their store. They are anxious to have a better location and a larger stock of sta- tionery, pins, pennants, seals, and all the various accessories that a student ' s heart requires. As to immediate hopes for the Book Exchange, its manager and her assistants have set their hearts on a larger counter, more book-shelves, and a cash register. 100 YOUNG WOMAN ' S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION The body at its best and the mind at its highest, still fail to make character. The completion of life requires the spiritual as complement to the physical and mental. This three-fold personality has a three-fold relationship, inward, one ' s self; outward, society; upward, God. The Young Women ' s Christian Association endeavors to meet this trinity of life in as large a way as possible. The social phase of the organization includes the welcoming and serving of refreshments to the new students, going on hikes and houseparties, giving spreads and jolly good times to all students who wish to attend. Through the Social Service Committee, the association reaches life outside the school. The girls who have the oppor- tunity of teaching women and girls of other nationalities and of sharing with the sick and those in need at Christmas time, gain even more than they give. Then we must not forget the beautiful big room in the Gymnasium and the little office where our Secretary, Miss Gorden, is always glad to share in our joy and help in solving our troubles of all kinds. The devotional meetings of the Association have been especially helpful. Praise services and talks by thinking men and women help to enrich our lives. But perhaps the best hours of all are spent together once a week in Mission and Bible Study Classes where we come to know and understand religion as well as life. All the Association activities merge into one purpose: to make possible for each girl the fullness of the abundant life brought to earth by our Lord. 101 CLUBS GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB Miss Blewett, Faculty Director. Marion Turner, President. Margaret Hovey, Secretary. Clara Johnson, Treasurer. Maude Ellis and Dorothy Bivby, Librarians. It is said that members of the Girls ' Glee Club must cer- tainly be happy since they are so largely occupied in giving happi- ness to others. Music hath charms — but it is not necessary to finish the quotation. The Girls ' Glee Club has fulfilled its trust in an especially commendable manner during the past year. Under the direction of Miss Blewett, it has been more active and enthusiastic than ever before. The great success of the numerous school and outside enter- tainments and engagements of the club have been due to the fact that they were always preceded by energetic preparation and earnest work. Ideal musical production is the great standard set for the club members by Miss Blewett and her co-workers. Many of the girls reach the goal. The hard work has been more than made up for by the fun of the parties given by Miss Blewett, Marion Turner and Dr. and Mrs. Miller, culminating in a wonderful house party at Santa Monica, at the home of Maude Ellis. SOCIAL SETTLEMENT CLUB Dr. Fernald, Faculty Member. The Social Settlement Club is like a modest person — there are too few of them. The school would be ostensibly improved with a few more club members like the Social Settlement work- ers, performing quietly, modestly and well, the most vital and praiseworthy of duties. The school does not hear as often as it would like about the activities of the Social Settlement Club, for the simple reason 103 that its members do not often talk about themselves, yet week by week in the foreign settlements and the Juvenile Courts, this organization is helping the world go round for those who (as its constitution states), do not receive the fundamental and neces- sary rights belonging to them. The Club members are composed largelv of girls interested in Social Settlement work through the Psychology I, II, and III classes. They receive their inspiration from Dr. Fernald, Miss Sulli- van and, also, from the prominent social workers who address their meetings from time to time. A large part of the activities of the club are centered in the supporting of legislative bills for social betterment. Individual cases of children in and about Los Angeles are also considered and help given to such extent that the good performed will probably never be entirely known. One of the most active members of the Club is the wife of Dr. Waddle, who has brought the organization in direct contact with the Housing Commission. THE SOCIAL EFFICIENCY CLUB Four years ago, the Social Efficiency Club was organized for the following purposes: to render all service possible to teach- ers and students during enrollment season, to carry out tasks as- igned by the officers of the Student Body, and to further a social spirit among the students. This club is composed of girls whose standard of scholarship is high and who have proved themselves to be socially efficient by volunteer work outside of any official capacity. A standing committee from the club is always on the outlook for girls who are not officially engaged and who come up to the above standard. The club has accomplished much for the betterment of the school. MATHEMATICS CLUB The Mathematics Club was organized this year, as a supple- ment to regular class work for those majoring in mathematics. The club meetings are of three types. The business meeting is given over entirely to an outside speaker, who talks on current 104 day or business topics of interest to the club. Mr. H. Duryee spoke on Child Labor Bills and Mr. Honneywell on bonds. The student meetings are full of live, practical discussions and talks given by the members on subjects dealing with the study and teaching of mathematics. The social meeting is one spent in games and jolly good times. THE KAP AND BELLS CLUB President Franklyn Skinner Vice-President Alma McEntee Treasurer Harriet Blake Secretary Ella Donovan Costume Mistress Katherine Stone Stage Manager Frank Y. VanValin Director Miss Theresa Cogswell The Kau and Bells C ub has the honor of being the first dramatic club ever organized in this school. It was started last September bv a few proffressive students who felt the need of a dramatic organization under the supervision of an expert di- rector. Since that time it has grown in importance, until it now stands among the foremost organizations of the school. The members are selected on the basis of dramatic ability alone and, during the past year, many active and talented stu- dents have been admitted. The unprecedented success of the club is due both to the ex- cellent qualitv of the direction given bv Miss Cogswell, and to the active interest of each member in the study of the drama and in the professional-like production of good plays. During the year, the following plays have been given. Ris- ing o ' the Moon, Gringoire, Nance Oldfield and David Garrick. The cast for each play was as follows: RISING 0 ' THE MOON (Lady Gregory) Sergeant Julius Lehman Policeman B Alfred Rosenthal Policeman X Paul Schmitt A Ragged Man Murl Maudlin 105 GRINGOIRE (Arthur Shirley) Louis XI, King of France. . . Katherine Stone Limon, a wealthy draper Vesta Clements Gringoire, a poet of the people May Heintz Oliver le Daim, King ' s barber. .Fanny Hoffman Jeanette, Simon ' s daughter Vera Henshaw Nicole, Simon ' s sister Emily Spaeth NANCE OLDFIELD Nance Oldfield i Eugene Bean JNance Uldneld Harriet Blake Alexander Oldworthy Winifred Olmstead Nathan Oldworthy Emily Spaeth Rusau Margaret Beaver DAVID GARRICK (T.

Whadyamean stories? Gee, don ' t you know, Pete? The Story Lady, she comes every Tuesday and Thursday down here to the school and tells us the swellest stories, regular stories about kings and hunters and engines and things. Comalong with me ' n hear ' em. Uhuh, I ain ' t going to no school. I don ' t need no more ed- jucation. Aw gee, come off, Pete. Honest you ' ll have a better time than at Dreamland. Why, every kid in our gang goes, ' s even more exciting than shootin ' craps. Come this onct and see that what I ' m tellin ' you ' s true. Auright, this onct, but never again. But Pete did go again and again, until he was there promptly every Tuesday and Thursday night; and so was Toney Pints and Quan Letsky and Maurice Goldstein and Mike ' Toole and several dozen other boys of as many nationalties and names. The man who kept the poolroom over the saloon down at the corner wondered where the gang was. Mike ' s mother wondered why he said please and thank you now. Tony ' s mother won- dered why he hadn ' t come home with a black eye for so long, and the Story Lady began to notice that the boys wanted differ- ent stories, that their tastes were changing. First, they wanted only comic stories, then ones of adventure, and finally they asked for the big things, though they did not say it that way. The Story Lady told the big things, the hero tales, King Arthur legends, and many of the other old and good stories that, without labeled morals, teach lessons of courtesy and honor. With each passing week the audience of boys grew larger and more attentive. Who is the Story Lady? She is a member of the Normal School Storsrteller ' s Club. The Club meets every Thursday in room 114, and anyone who goes once becomes a member. Some people even sav that it is one of the most popular clubs in school because attendance is not compulsory and only those who wish join and come. It was partly through the efforts of this Club that we were 108 enabled to hear that delightful storyteller, Seumas McManus, and the Club has also been instrumental in bringing many other well known storytellers to the school. The oflBcers are: President Marjorie Obear Vice-President Marie Pendergast Secretary Lora Clark Story telling is not only one of the oldest arts, but one of the most effective tools of the teacher. Realizing this, the Story- tellers have several meetings each term devoted to actual story- telling by its members to children invited from the training school, while the other programs consist of advice and stories by well known, successful storytellers and teachers. THE PUSH AND PULL CLUB The Push and Pull Club was first organized in September, 1914, by Fanny Hoffman, who was also its first president. The club, then composed of fifty active members, was organized for the purpose of encouraging school spirit and offering service to our Alma Mater. These two purposes were to be accomplished through giving and participating in a,thletics, through the com- position of school songs and school yells, and through aiding the school, the faculty, the individual, and the student body at large, whenever and wherever possible. The club has enjoyed many social affairs. It has played an active part in nearly all student activities. At a Friday morning assembly, the Pushers and Pullers gave a successful miscel- laneous program for the student body. They also enjoyed many hikes, wienie bakes, boating-parties, and an initiation party. Both the boys and the girls have worked hard to make the club what it is. In token of its esteem for its Alma Mater, the Push and Pull Club has presented to the school a large purple and gold Normal School pennant. The organization now comprises seventy -five members, and under its able president, Mary Bucklin, is bound to progress during the coming year. May you all become Pushers and Pullers, and push and pull together to make the Los Angeles State Normal School, the biggest, best, and broadest school in the land! 109 MEN ' S GLEE CLUB During the past year about twenty men of the school, in- spired by a yearning for a broader musical education, formed the Men ' s Glee Club. Their work has been very successful and this is largely due to the ardent efforts of Miss Wright and several student directors. The Student Body has been entertained several times by the Club and their programs were heartily appreciated. MEN ' S GLEE CLUB THE NEWMAN CLUB The Newman Club was founded in 1910 by Rev. Thomas Conaty, D.D., of the diocese of Monterey and Los Angeles. The club has pursued its course quietly and unostentatiously, until now it has taken firm root and is a flourishing organization of the Normal School. The club, as the name would suggest, is a literary one, named for one of the brilliant lights of English literature, Cardinal John Newman. no The object of the club is to promote such social and intel- lectual intercourse as is desirable and proper, and to ciiltivate and foster a true literary spirit in its members. The club meetings are held on the first and third Wednesdays of the month, the first being a business one, the second entirely devoted to the literary field. From time to time, speakers are invited to address the club on subjects of general interest. It is our aim to realize in its membership the highest ideals of womanhood, to establish exalted standards of social eSiciency, and, through loyalty to their aims, to inspire its members to exert an influence, not only in Normal School, but also in broader fields into which their activities may lead them. GEOGRAPHY CLUB The Geography Club seeks to extend the classroom work by stereopticon views and lectures given by people who have trav- eled in our own coimtry and abroad. The club meetings are open to all who wish to attend. Many very interesting and helpful lectures have been given. Dr. Bailey of U. S. C. gave a very excel- lent description of Central America in his lecture on A Trip to the Tropics. A most practical talk on Map Making was given bv Dr. Snvder of Hollvwood. Other lectures have been given by Miss McClellan, Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. Long. The opportuni- ties offered by the club are well worth while to every student of the school. HIGH SCHOOL CLUBS The graduates from various high schools who are now attend- ing Normal have formed clubs that they might better keep in touch with the activities of their Alma Mater and uphold in com- mon fellowship the spirit of their respective schools. Pasadena High School is represented by the Pasadena Club, South Pasa- dena by the Copa de Oro and Hollywood by the Hollywood Poin- settia Club. Ill THE STRING QUARTET Miss Bamhart, Director. Laura Farrington, First Violin. Elizabeth White, Viola. Dorothy Clark, Second Violin. Dorothy Kirkland, Cello. The String Quartet stands among the first of those organiza- tions which, although formed only last September, have already made themselves prominent in school affairs. The Quartet is under the direction of Miss Bamhart, who has been keeping it busy during the past few months in thorough study and practice. Public performances have consisted of con- certs in the Normal School Auditorium, and in outside societies and churches. The attempt has been made this year to make the String Quartet a permanent organization of the school. Miss Bamhart and the four musicians under her direction, feel that, through conscientious study, hard practice, and love of their instruments, they have not only made the String Quartet a permanent organ- ization, but a vital one. STRING QUARTETTE NORMAL MENS LITERARY CLUB February, 1915, was a Red Letter month for the men of the school. At this time, twenty of the men students organized a club known as the Normal Men ' s Literary Club. Now, over one- half of the men of the school have become members. The officers for the past term were: President Alfred G. Rosenthal Secretary Robert Eads Treasurer Harold Desmond Business Manager Franklyn Skinner The program committee, which has been, in a large part, re- sponsible for the outward success of the club was composed of: Vincent P. Mayer, Chairman; Leonard Collins and Alfred G. Rosenthal. The programs presented by the club have all had a literary, musical or social value. Several mock trials have been held, which were instructive as well as amusing. Debating has, perhaps, been the most successful activity of the club. A very thrilling debate between the seniors and the juniors was held in June. The members of the club have established a precedent for future members to follow; an annual banquet was held on May twelfth at Christopher ' s, to which all the men teachers of the faculty were invited. Everyone participated in school songs and all familiar melodies. A number of those present gave clever toasts. No doubt the members of the faculty who were present are looking forward with pleasure to the next one. During the few months the club has been in existence, it has proved worthy of its name, because of its genuine literary endeavors. 3 ATHLETICS NORMAL ATHLETIC CLUB BGSTtJiETrrrTipj; PAUL SCHMIDT EARL EASTHAM NORMAN WHYTOCK M. L. DARSIE The year of 1914-15 has been a most successful era of athlet- ics for the Normal School. This success has been largely fostered thru the control of the Normal Athletic Club, an organization formed in September, for the purpose of promoting athletics in the school. After a constitution had been drawn up as a working basis for the club, the following officers were elected for the year: Earl Eastham, president; Norman Whytock, vice president; Paul Schmitt, secretary and treasurer. Mr. Darsie, as athletic coach, has been behind every club movement, and is largely responsible for the upward trend of athletics in the school. In governing school athletics, the club decided to award the Normal Athletic Club monogram to participants in a majority of 114 u O H - 22 a i-fe U W 2oo 1 H w W GO a Q X u 2 c J 2 Q games played. During the year, letters have been won by Blan- chard, Eastham, Pine, Samis, Van Valin, and Whytock for bas- ket-ball. In baseball, the following won letters: Pine, Neher, Blanchard, Rabinowitz, Coombs, Samis, Hixson, Compton and Sims. BASKET-BALL The record attained by the basket-ball team during the 1914- 15 season places the school, which this team represented, among the front ranks of participants in this branch of sports in South- em California. Much of this success is due to the efforts of Coach Darsie, who manifested a keen interest in the development of the team from the first, and Manager Skinner, who looked after team affairs and secured games. With Pine, Samis, Eastham, and Whytock of last year ' s team as a nucleus, and an abundance of new athletic material to pick from, a winning team was assured at the outset. As an opening game the Normal men journeyed to Hollywood High, and decisively trounced this combination of basket shoot- ers. In the next game on the Normal court, the Los Angeles Col- lege of Osteopathy was taken to count, and the following week the Normal Athletic Club team returned from Lincoln High with another victory to their credit. By this time the Normal team was in excellent condition, and effectively trimmed the Los An- geles Junior College aggregation, and again administered a deci- sive rub-down to the Los Angeles Osteopaths in a rough game on the latter ' s home court. The only defeats of the season came at the hands of the noted Los Angeles Athletic Club. Both games were played on the opponents ' court, and were hard, fast contests throughout, with the victory in doubt until the final whistle ended the fray. THE PLAYERS Forwards Pine, as capain, played a brilliant game at center and for- ward throughout the season, showing himself adept at every phase of the sport. Samis, playing forward, proved to be a won- der at basket throwing. His ability to lose the best of guards marked him as a sure point winner in every game. Van Valin, although not a participant in every game, demonstrated that he was a consistent forward. His experience of this season assures 116 him a berth on next year ' s team. Blanchard, entering school in the winter term, immediately went out for the team, and for the remainder of the season played a star forward. Pine, Blanchard, and Samis in co-operation with one another, proved a wonderful offensive unit in all the later games. Guards Eastham held down a guard position in steady form, and at no time during the games did he permit his opponent to depart from his tender care, Whytock, the other guard, played a reliable game at all times, and proved especially skillful in smearing his adversaries. Eastham and Whytock, as guards, made an im- pregnable defense throughout the season. Schedule Normal Athletic Club, 36; Hollywood High, 13. Normal Athletic Club, 26; L. A. College Osteopathy, 13.

An abundance of material from former high school, club, and college teams turned out, so that, by March, baseball prospects were bright. After a few brief preliminary practices. Pine and Rabinowitz were elected, respectively, cap- tain and manager, suits were decided upon, and Coach Darsie began to drill the players into shape. The success of the team throughout the season is rather to be wondered at than criticised, for the Normal men were ham- pered in every game with lack of practice, due to heavy school courses. Too, the high school teams against which the Normal Athletic Club played were the best in the region, yet, in spite of this, any defeat which our men suffered was by only a small score, proving that no team was vastly superior to the Normal aggregation. This season of baseball has earned the Normal Athletic Club 117 Q O a 2 5 J J O r z «2 ?■ ( fa?

His hitting featured many games. Compton filled in the position of catcher for most of the sea- son in a steady manner. He was most efficient in batting and base running. Rabinowitz played shortstop, and filled in at the receiving md of the battery when called upon. He proved especially strong in grabbing infield hits and wielding the stick. Sims pitched in big league form during most of the games, and, for the remainder of the time, played in the outfield. He, too, was a star hitter. Neher was a steady occupant of second base all season, and figured prominently in nabbing base runners. Blanchard starred on third base, and at all times proved to be a most reliable fielder and sure hitter. Coombs played in the outfield, where his work in grabbing flies was errorless. Hixson, another fielder, was especially efficient in spoiling home runs. Samis played both in the field and at shortstop. His long suit was to bat the ball out of the baseball lot. Frampton, a late arrival at the school, fitted in readily at first base in veteran style. Newbold, Head, and Holmblad were good al l around players, and, as utility men, had frequent occasion to show their skill. 118 THE BRIGHTER SIDE OF LIFE Paradoxies of the Pedagogies. Pres. Millspaugh: Miss Dunn Miss Porter: Miss Matthewson: Dr. Howe says: Mr. Chamberlain: Miss Fargo: Miss Seaman: Mrs. Beck: Miss Collier: Mr. Root says: Miss Blewett: Miss McClellan: I firmly believe that it is all wrong to bet, — but if you don ' t bet, you are no better. Nothing can be complete without being dunn, — so don ' t do anything or you will be dunned for it. I don ' t comprehend the fact that, when a let- ter is too heavy, putting on another stamp will make it lighter. I believe that when the heat is turned on, win- dows should be kept down as ordered, for it is good for the students to get used to hot places. That whenever any members of his classes go to sleep he will wring his hands to awaken them. This, that, the other thing, or what-not, is al- ways happening, somewhere or somehow, in my room. To prevent further loss of books, students are to discontinue using them for any purpose whatsoever. ■Pacon is too indigestible for me. I prefer lamb. Tbere is positive proof that Mt. Wilson is get- ting lower, for every one who goes up there takes two feet away. The deportment of my students varies in- versely with the square of the distance from my desk. That he has discovered a new test for the im- agination, — to read some one else ' s notes. We use a piano stool on glass insulators to prevent the audience from getting shocked. A new discovery! The foot of Niagara Falls is green because it has just come over. Are you sure you see it? 120 Dr. Waddle believes: That memory is what we forget with. Dr. Miller: A centipede with corns suffers more than a giraffe with sore throat. Miss HoUister: Some of us have more sulphur in our bodies than others. That is why some make better matches. Miss Keppie believes: That our expression shows the vast knowl- edge we ought to have. Mr. Darsie: C ' idren ' s education != ould make them ver- satile. Take the Amoeba, for example, — it turns into a stomach when it wants to eat and into a leg when it wants to wa k. Miss Wiebalk: Rvervone who teaches in the lower grades should have re(a)d Freckles. Mr. Macurda coined a new definition: Everyone who professes to know everything is a Professor. All Normal students will have degrees. Mrs. Gaines: You will never be hungry if you have an un- limited supply of dates. Mrs. Hunnewell: You can tell the kind of wheels a person has in his head bv the kind of spokes that come out of his mouth. Miss Osgood: Everything is successful merely because it exists, — a fool is successful in being a fool. Mr. Austin: The Italian svstem of penmanship should be used in administering corporal punishment, for the heavy strokes are upward and the light ones downward. Miss Sullivan: All consciousness is motor, except in case of a motor accident, when it becomes un- conscious. Mr. Drisko: Your assignment is, — do, and pass in. (But most of us pass in, and do.) Miss Handy: It is easy to tell a foreigner, but you can ' t tell him much. Dr. Fernald believes: That spelling reform is foolish, for reform isn ' t very hard to spell. 121 Miss Richardson has discovered a discrepancy in nature: That the best time to catch soft water is when it is raining hard. Miss Gere (Describing art picture) : The fact that Italy passed through a famine makes the Tower of Pisa lean. Miss Jacobs has decided: That most people don ' t really believe that life is not worth living when they say so, for then she concludes, murderers would be given medals, and doctors would be called in when people are well. N. B. This is an advertisement, liut tells important truths which everyone, and especially teachers, should know. Stammering, one of the serious afflictions of civilization, is fostered by the educators by requiring oral work of the stammerer. The stammerer would outgrow his impediment if he steadfastly refused to stammer — he can make signs or write or keep quiet. But when he is required to recite orally, the embarrassment makes him stammer; so. in- stead of outgrowing the trouble, he has it fastened on him. The oral recitation for the stammerer is useless anyway; for he cannot say what he wants to, so he is discredited; and he is so unnerved by dread of the recitation and by humilitation after it that it should-be abandoned anyway on the score of justice and humanity. Then why blight the life of an innocent pupil to preserve a barbarous custom? Rather, relieve him from all oral work, and do not permit him to stammer; have him calm himself and say what he wants to say or write it. If all teachers will do that, stammering will disappear from the face of the earth. If he wants quicker relief, he can obtain it at Los Angeles, No. 320 West Bfghth Street.
