Born i in this Lancaster County farm, Robert became an integral and an important part nf the help from early chiidh 1, Ijecause there were many odd jobs at all times, such as were entirely within the capability of boys of alnmst any age. So urgent, so frequent and so continuous were the needs for the boy ' s services, that he lost nuich (if the schooling that he might have gotten between his sixth and his eigh- teenth birthdays, helping summer and winter in the entire round of farm work as each m nith of the year dis- closed an almost endless list of things that must be done, anil all of which must be done by hand, in most of which the errand boy ' s part was rpiite as necessary as that of the mature laborer ' s. By reason of this, he was able to attend less than four mcinths a year out of the six nmnths during which rural schools were open in his native township, and this total attendance was much broken into b - absence of days and weeks after hav- ing begun school about the first of Xo -ember, so that progress was slow, broken, and the learning very frag- mentary. This loss in cimtinuuus and f(irmal schooling, of course, cau.sed delay in getting started in his life occupation; vet the experience as a whole was invaluable. Speaking of the value of farm life for the young man. Dr. (.;. Stanley Hall, in his ' .Vspects dt Child Life and Education, .says: Nowhere has the great middle class heen so all controlling, furnished so large a proportion of scientific and business leaders, been si respectable, so well combined industry with wealth, bred patriotism, conservatism, and independence, ' llie farm was a great laburatorw tending. perha])s, rather more to ( ' e elo]J scientific than literary tastes, cultivating ])ersistency, in which country boys excel, if at the expen.se of versatility. As all observing and reflecting men know. Dr. Hall ' s statement of the value of life on the farm as a training for the future is not an overstatement, and the (|ualities which that life and upbringing are sure tu e -oke, the youth Ri)])ert de- veloped in a conspicuous degree, as his mature life of efficiency and usefulness attests in full measure. At the age of eighteen, in 1884, the way opened for him to attend a summer school conducted at Rawlins- ville, Lancaster Countw bv Mr. L ' . S. Clark, who was at that time one of the best knnwn teachers in Lancaster County. After attending this summer school tluring ten weeks of two summers, he passed a County Sujierintendent ' s examination, and received an apiiointment as teacher in the schools of Martic township for a term of six months at a salary of $40 per month, . fter two gears ' teaching there, he at- tended the West Chester State Normal School for two years, being drawn hither by the fame of its great teacher in Mathematics, Prof. David l. Sensenig. Graduation from the West Chester State Normal School followed after two years ' attendance, in jSyo. He was then appointed to take charge of the work in English in the College of Commerce. Philadelphia, which place he left a year later to ac- cept the Principalship of the public schools of Langhorn Bucks County, Pa. From Langhorn, after a year ' s work there, he returned to the Normal School, first to pursue anil to complete the Scientific Course, and also to prepare to enter Villano a College. By i8g6 he had earned and received the degree of Bach- elor of Science from the Normal School, lia ing at the same time been an assistant teacher in the depart- ment of mathematics of that school. Two years later, in 1898. notwithstanding that he had ser ed as in- structor in the Normal School with a full cpiota of classes for the entire two years, he had earned and received the degree of Bachelor of .Arts from Villanova College. In 1908, in recognition of Professor .Xnderson ' s work as an author, lecturer and teacher, Villanova conferred upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Science. Since 1896 Professor Anderson has been a teacher in the department of mathematics of the West Chester State Normal School, and since September. 1907. he has been professor mathematics and head of the depart- ment. succeeding tlie late Prof. David M. Sensenig. M.S. Besides teaching- in the Normal ScIkjuI, Professor Anderson, as he still likes to be called, has had charge of the department of niathtematics in the Pennsylvania Miiuntani Summer . ssemhly at Rbensburg, Pa., since lyo6. He has also lectured successfully and accept- ably at institutes, teachers ' meetings and conventions, on his favorite subject and its teaching — mathematics. Professor . nderson has also collaborated with the late David AI. Sensenig in the authorship of the Sense- nig-. nders(]n series of text-books in Arithmetic. The series comprises New Complete Arithmetic, Essen- tials of .Arithmetic. and Introductory .Arithmetic. He has al.so prepared fnr the use of teachers several most helpful pamphlets, among them being • .V Course nf Study in .Arithmetic, and .Answers to Questions on How to Teach .Arillinietic, which are held in high esteem liy echicators. During his entire career as a teacher in the Normal School, Professor .Vndersnn has resi.led in the dormitories. He has thus lived close to the students, and they liave felt free U la - their perplexities, whether (if life or of .school, before him. They reg.-ird him as a trusted and trie l adviser and counselor, 1 here is no problem in the long and varied list of students ' perplexities, from that of raising money to remain in .school, to the restoration to suffrance of i)enilent students who ha e virtually sinne l themselves out of school, which he has n(jt been called up n In help to solve and which he has not helped to solve to the gratification and satisfaction of students and authorities, and has thus rei)eatedl - helped preser e a reputation and to save a character and a career of usefulness and honor. Professor .Anderson has been honored with the presidency ni the .Vlumni .Associaticm of the Normal School, and is most influential in its affairs, a relation which began with his service du the committee to secure its charter in 1897, and which continues by his service on a number ni its most important committees. In the deliberations of the Normal School Faculty also, are Professor .Anderson ' s opinions and judgments given much weight and careful consideration. Professor .Anderson attributes his development into a teacher of mathematics chieflv to the inthi- ence of two persons: first in time, was Professor Sensenig; second. Doctor Philips, Principal of the Normal School. From Professor Sensenig as his teacher and later as head of the department of mathe- matics, he acquired enthusiasm, earnestness, his belief in the necessity for insistence upon clearness and completeness of statement of mathematical tr ' ntli. followed by persistence in learnint;- the truth thor- oughly and exactly. Througln this discipline he feels that he actpiired an early glimpse and a vivid reali- zation of what it means to have power to do your own thinking;. This admirable result of good teaching. — |)o ei ' and consciousness of power in the student, — Professor .Vnilerson takes great joy in making real and vivid to his students, which is one of the reasons why they regard and esteem him highly, and why they take pleasure in honoring him. To Doctor Philips and his influence Professor . nders(in attributes much of his courage and his abilit - to w in in his struggle against difficulties. From this source have come steady support, genuine encouragement, and the timely promotion that have helped to keep alive the spark of hope and ambition during the entire time of Professor Anderson ' s connection with the school, v.diether as student or teacher; and this encouri ' .gement and kindling of ambition he finds pleasure in passing on to receptive students. In December, igio. Professor Anderson married Aliss AIar • ' . E. Shillow , of .Marietta, Pa., a mem- ber of the class of 1910 of the Normal School. Ch. s. a. W. gner.

Florence is an . ryan. Emily Bell Drifton, Pa. There zcas a soft cnnl pciisii ' c grace. A cast of thoiii lit upon Iter faee. Emily is a graduate uf the Free Sand Higli Scliiiol. She is particularly fond of studying Algebra and Botany. Her love of nature results in long walks in the country, and in rambles through the wonds. Emily is seldom ready for break- fast, but she is always ready to respond promptly when called upon to recite in class. She has been very studious, and we all know that next year the halls oi dear old Serpentine will be less musical because of the absence of the pure sweet tones of our Drifton Belle. B f r i VI Ll ' L. lliiiWELl rlinKti;n. Pa. Literature is an a ' t ' eiiiie In t lory. This young lady, having taught several years in the public schools of Wayne county, and being a fine student here, promises to make good as a teacher. Literature, History and Botany are her favorite subjects. That she is a great reader can be easily comprehended after a few visits to Literature class. For Biddy answers questions almost as rapidly as Dr. Green asks them. Gc)ing some. isn ' t it? H. Li.iE BiL.so.N Parkesburs ' , Pa. One of those rare, s ' u ' ccl iiiaideiis. How true! She is indeed cast in heroic mold, and with her slender, queenly grace and dusk ' hair she might well serve as a Shakespearean heroine or inspire a pas- sionate rhapsody. But how unromantic is Hallie — or Harriet. as Dr. Philips designates her — when reciting geometry or drawing its artistic figures in the midst of chalk-dust and spherical triangles. We can hardly blame her for not desiring to teach, and see brie-ht visions for her a few }ears hence at Vassar. Mabel ' . Blew. Abranis, Pa. Xellie B. Bowman .... He Oak. Del. Gold is met witli by luck, a : ood dis- position is found by nature. Mabel always has a bright smile for everyone, and her laugh is often heard by girls who room near her. For the love of Peter! shouts Mabel if by chance yon ask her to go ont when she has German to do. Mebs is a good student and a hard worker, especially on German and Literature, and loves to spend her spare time in writinc up Physics notes, late. A loyal Aryan and an all-round good-heart- ed girl. Florence BotLE. u. . . .North Wales, I ' a. Bright ' ccns her foee zeith smites. This maiden from North Wales is a li ely, good-natured miss. She came to us as a graduate from Upper Swynedd High School, with a liking for Geometry and Latin. Flossie ' s popularity brings many visitors to her room, as well as to her home. Her house parties are jolly affairs. Canoeing is always her delight, but on such (jccaions she is ft)nd of gazing at the stars (basket-ball stars of course). Her ejaculation of heavens! fretpiently attest to this fact. She is so free, so opt. so blessed a dis ' osition. Our Nell is one of the jolliest girls in the class. Her chief occupation is read- ing books. Many times after lights. Nel- lie has been discovered in queer positions trying to finish ' just that one chapter of her book. Her knowledge of books and authors has made her a shining light in Literature class. Not only does she like to read books, but to act them. In many recitals she has figured. She has delight- ed us with her humorous recitations. This training she recei ' ed at the DuPont High School, from which she was grad- uated. May X. Bkadi;ury Beachlake, Pa. To slcc . pcnlKiiicc to (zcakc) — aye, there ' s the nib. With all apologies to William Shake- speare, we have taken the liberty of tam- pering with his great masterpiece in order to make it fit this special case of a mein- ber of the class of igii. There ' s the rub — and it ' s a good hard one, too. for anyone who wakens her, for that is where her good hnmor is very thin (from con- stant nse). Bnt she is a strange creature, for once let her get started on a good ' book and she cares nrjt whether she sleeps at all. Ethvl Belle Braxdt. . . Lewistown, Pa. Bra ' c ' ery lias no laee zeliere it ean aTail nothing. Before coming here she was a graduate of the public schools of Lcwistow-n. of the Lewistown Preparatory School, and spent one year at Wilson CoUlege. WMiether or not her extensive preparation has brought it about, we cannot say. but Ethyl is one of the bravest girls in the class. She isn ' t a bit afraid of worms and bugs in zoology and has a positive fondness for wolves. She expects to specialize in French and German after graduation. Ruth Bkatton Bellewood, Pa. Blessed zeitli f ' lain reason anil sober sense. One of the i|uietest and yet one of the best members of our class, Ruth has forged steadily ahead since her arrival here three years ago. One ' s first impres- sion is of her substantialness, and the scales doubtless bear one out in this, though of course such matters belong entirely to the department of Physical Training, and we do not delve much into that. Although fond of science labora- tories, the best place to find Rufiis is curled up on the bed with soft pillows be- hind her and a good In .ok in front. .j .-MJ - ' -aSSht - Wii.i.ANNA Bkunek. . .Pliiieiiixvillc.

She is one of the two-year students, having gotten excel- lent preparation at the Phoenixville Hi.gh School, where she was graduated. She learned there to be independent of the world ' s opinions, for she always U])holds her own very strenuously. - ' SVi Ethel S. Bulette Delta, Pa.

She is one of the bright and shinino- lights in the French class. She is a hail-fellow-well-met. and we predict a good and prosperous future for her. Bessie L. Hutchinson, Philadelphia, Pa.

And as for kidding! she can say more with a straight face than any other girl in the class. She thinks she has the girls going all the time! She is right there with it, though, when it comes to lessons, for she surely can make a good recitation without having looked inside ♦.he book. 1 ■1 H ■ ' W W m K wf - 3 ■l i w ff t L. REHECC.

Alma is one of our serious maidens, who finds greatest pleasure in her faithful and ener- getic devotion to lessons and other school duties.

She is known b - her friends as Drawin.s; — a verv apt name, if one knew her, for she is extremel ' fond of drawing and painting. I believe it is her desire af- ter leaving school to take up further work in painting. If her wish is fulfilled we all may expect to hear of her some day as a world-famed artist. — a ' W w - 1 -n Gertrude E. Jacobv York, Pa.

North York High School developed in this miss a liking for Mathe- matics and Sciences, but Blondie finds her chief interests in the Moore Literary Society and some of its members. She says talking, with all slang excluded, is her chief delight, but she enjoys playing foot- ball, in pump.s, too; thus showing her love for athletics. Nora E. Kauffm.an. . York Springs, Pa. Resolz ' c never to lose one nioineiit of time. Nora is a quiet girl, but with jjlenty of energy, as may be noted by her recita- tions. She has taught one year and ex- pects to teach after graduation if slie holds to her resolution. Nora is interest- ed in the work of the Y. W. C. A. She seems to have a failing for takin.g long walks, and perhaps, that accounts for her i|uiet nature. Elsie G. Keller West Chester, Pa. Then let Its ii ' r. iiiisceii.  (fr ioii ' ;;.

She was graduated from the West Chester High School, and has completed the course here with the expectation of be- coming a teacher. — at least this is what she tells us. But Elsie ' s tastes are so domestic we are sure it won ' t be long before she is ruling more than a school- room. A1. KV E. Kekk Port Carbon. Pa. Would to God ....

This dainty fussv little maiden who graduated from the Newtown High School, join ed our class in the Fall of 1909 with a determination to teach. Some- times, though. Fate takes things into her own hands, and — oh, phsaw! — there are reasons here, and Shaw is a good one.

This young lady came to us from Not- tingham High School, She intends to make teaching her profession after gradu- ation. There is no fear of Edna becttm- ing wrinkled with the cares of the school- room, even though she is very conscien- tious, for she believes in being bright and cheerful, no matter what happens; and with her little ranks she drives dull care away. As a mathematician there are few to rival her. So it is very plain to see why Mathematics is her favorite study. Marguerite S. Kistiiardt. Hazelton, Pa.

She attended the public schools of Christiana and graduated from her home high school. From there she came to West Chester to spend three years. During her stay amongst us one could often hear one of the Big Six call Merce from down the hall, and her answer of Heavens, which is her usual reply. She is quite fond of algebra and grammar, and some think of psychology and ethics. She intends to teach and con- tinue her study of music, in which she is quite a star. Ask Merce which she would rather do: Visit B-5 at ten-fifteen or fall down the step,s of the Capitol? Helen I. McLaine. , Philadeliihia, Pa. Drcainiii} (rwdkc far more llimi one zl ' Iw sleeps.

She is a quiet, unassum- ing girl who has a host of friends who adore her. Mickie is inclined to be ab- sent-minded, but declares it is not a sign of being in love. She says she is going to teach for years and years, and would like very much to teach in Ohio. Chrlstine McMich. el, Spring City. Pa. Strike, brave boys, ami take your turns. This bright face belongs to Christine, who is as happy and congenial as she looks. What would igi i have done with- out her! She has starred in Mathematics and Science, shone in teaching, and tridy illuminated the Moore Society, of which she was corresponding secretary. Her favorite pastimes, she says, are rowing and walking, and little wonder, for her friends know it would not be possible for such anuisements to be solitary. The only question that puzzles us is Does Christine really intend to teach? M.MdON McF- KL. ND. . . Marsliallton, Pa. Good friends. sz(. ' eet friends. let me not stir you up. No matter what kind of racket may disturb the solemn stillness of the class- rot}ni, no one thinks of looking at Marion for its source, in fact, unless behind her one hardly knows she is there until her voice is heard in answer to some ques- tion.

Little Beatrice frei|iieiitly tiiuls this an expression of her sentiments, for she is about the tiniest creafre in the class. And appropriate for a little girl, she is exceedingly quiet, both in action and speech, or rather the absence of s-eech. She blushes furiously on the slightest provocation, and frequently suffers from home-sickness. .At such times she either pack ' s up and goes home or seeks con- solation in country walks. She has great faith in the benefits of such walks, espec- ially when taken in good comijany. Fraxces Wi.VTHixr.ii am . I X.M (,, Lewes, Del.

Behold one of tlie most clieerful lassies of tile Senior Class! Whenever yon meet Rachel, she always greets yon with one of those bewitching smiles of hers. The truth is, she has never been known to be out of sorts. Perhaps this is due to the fact that she always has her lessons pre- pared. But then, too, Rachel always has such pleasant thoughts upon which to reminisce — some of those riding trips, for instance, or those escapades of West Chester High School. Sophia .MEUKrn . . . . . .

Mary A. Mektz Port Carbon, Pa. ' Tis but a part lee see and not a whole. Vou can never guess how big Mary is by looking at her photo! When she first joined the class we feared she had mis- taken our distinguished institution for the Model School. But the lassie politely- assured us that she had been graduated from the Port Carbon High School and desired to become a teacher. We are now forced to admit our mistake and acknow- ledge that the best goods does often come in small packages. (16 Ruth D. Meyer Marysville, Pa. Like a red, red rose. Rnfus comes to us from Perry county, as a graduate of the Marysville High School. No matter how long one gazes upon her picture, it is impossible to comprehend the full charm of her ruddy countenance, for Ruth has the prettiest rosy cheeks in the class, wearing contin- ually that charming healthy bloom which is the envy of all the fair damsels around.

She is right there w-ith information and questions, too. Her grammar discussions were especially interesting. Maud adores (?) Physics. One might think she liked to work in the laboratory to hear her shout By thump! Her favorite pastime seems to be talking to boys, and last year she found plenty of opportunity to indulge. Here ' s suc- cess to He-haw as her friends call her. Katiiryn L. Obrien Olyphant, Pa. Tlicrc ' s a face tlial Iniiinls iiic n ' cr. Kathryn comes to us as one of the most precious of the black diamonds of Olyphant, Pa. After grariuating from St. Patrick ' s Parochial School, of her native town, she joined our class. Her masterly ad ' ice has helped many an ill- fated culprit of fourth floor ' behind dress- ers and beds at times of unexpected calls from hall teachers; and her Sh — sh has silenced noisy midnight feasters when on account of their nearness to the corner room they have threatened to disturb the slumbers of some pedagogue. All fourth floor girls agree that Kathryn is an excellent girl. M.AUD D. Oliver Chester, Pa. Tlic glass of fasliion and tlic iiwiild of form: Her name is Maud — but she is perfectly harmless. Her worst trait (?) is jollying the boys, as she goes back and forth on the train. Not so bad after all, for Maud ' s favorite occupation is talking. Indeed, she took French this year to get a new supplv of phrases. Just get her to try them on you some time, and you will be surpriserl with her versatility. M.5.RTii. S. P.

But, after all, the commniicst things are often truest, and lodking at this quiet dark-haired maiden one would never imagine how much Trigonometry reposes belimd those deeo-set eyes nor with what ease and correctness geometric truths fall from her lips. But she knjws that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy — and likewise girl — and she wields the paddle of her can:e with the same zest and iiower as she dues a logarithmic table.

It is too bad Nellie is not eoing to make teaching her aim, for she did such fine work in her classes here at school, which goes to show that she would make a success of teach- ing. But then we m ' -!st remember that Nellie would make a success at most any- thing. Ei.iz.M ' ETH C.

Our blue-eyed blonde of Parkesburg is as jolly as she is good-looking, and she really is not a pero. ide blonde either. Elizabeth, commonly known as Skeet. gets along well in all her classes, but her greatest fault is failing to hear the chapel bell. She very often enters Latin class looking as if she had not been awake so very long. Skeet is a Latin shark and looks forward to a college career at some future date. M. Belle C.

Tlie Marcel wave in her hair is the envy of her less fortunate sisters. She was the beauty of her graduating class of the Wilmington High School. We always thought her favorite school was W. C.

Kathryn, or Kits, as she is conniionly known, is one of oiir Lebanon connty girls. She is exceedingly fond of sleep; in fact, spends most of her spare time in sleeping. When she does get energetic and rises early in the morning to study Mathematics, she is so sleepy that she cainiot be qniet. and sometimes receives gentle reproaches from the powers that be.

Under the mask of Ethel ' s demure ap- pearance there is a lot of life. Know her well and find out. And still she studies, and not in vain. Nor does she embroid- er in vain — she is always making some- thing new. Ethel was secretary of the class in her Junior year, and is still mighty pnpular. Her special subjects are Latin. Mathematics and dancing. Ethel says she expects to teach till the end of her life(?). Why does she put the (juestion mark at the end? If you wish to see two cf the most bewitching dimples, provoke this young lady to smile, and you will be rewarded. But. I am sorry to say. she is very fond of sleeping, and indulges quite often, to our loss, for then we cannot see those tantalizing dimples. I fear some day they will be the cause of mischief.

What a number of small packages con- taining good goods are found in our class! Here Ruth is one of our smallest pack- ages, but has the goods in Mathematics.

May she in her starry heights some day throw down to us the fourth dimension. M. HEL I. .SH.A.RP Parkesburg, Pa. Let me dream on. dream on, dream on. A dreamer she, even her eyes show it, and absent-niinded, except wdien gowns or coiffeures are mentioned. Mabel is very fond of ' iretty clothes, and is never hap- pier than when dressing or arranging her hair. . ' s a result she always appears as a finished product of the dressmaker ' s art or as a hair-dresser ' s model. Her Parkes- burg friends frequently add to her adorn- ment with gifts of flowers. Because of her strong alto voice, she has proved a valuable member of the Moore Glee Club. Frances J. Sk.i.er. . . .Paintersville, Pa. There sliididiis Id iiic sit. This is all slie requires to make her happy. She studies by day and by night, and her class work shows it. When Frances is asked a question or has some- thing important to say. she opens her mouth, says it, and closes her lips again as though sealed. Thus they stay until she is moved again to speak. She says little, but back in her brain she has all the laws of Physics and the tacts of His- tory stored away. Edith A. Si.mons Oak Lane, Pa. Slic is young and of a ciiaiiniiig natnrc. Ede or Peter is well-beloved by all who know her. Although of a retiring disposition, she is ri.ght there when any- thing like fire, midnight feast, or poster- .scrap is on foot. She is an enthusiastic skater. A thrilling descent irom the fire- escape at 5 A. M. did she have because the watchman refused to let her out the front door to go skating.

This Jersey sand Miipc is very proud of. her appelation. She rises in arms when any mention of her beloved State is made. For the last three years, she has been the envy of every girl in the Class, because of her snowy cheeks, which are frequently flushed with modest blushes. This little sea-shell is fond of giving forth little contagious gurgles, to the de- light of her usual tormentor, H.

She reads quite a little and plays the piano well, but her favorite pastime is advertising Didcli cleanser. In fact, she will assure you that anything bearing the brand of Dutch is good. She has a wide range of interests, which include Princeton University. But I wouldn ' t have you think she is all jest and jollity, for she is a g:ood student, too. To sum it all up, she is one of those small pack- ages in which pure, good goods always coiues. Muriel E. Stevens. . Uniondale, Pa. But flay and clay dijfcr in dignity. Muriel is rather a quiet girl, but when she undertakes to accomplish anything, yon may be sure that it will be accom- nlished. She is an untiring worker in the Y. W. C.

In a contest given in the Normal gymnasium, for the fastest swimmer, she won a cake, which, by the wav, she shared most liberally with some of her hungry Norma] friends. Her nick- name is Frizzil-toD, and a glance above will tell you why. She is blest, for she does not have to use artificial curlers. Jessie L. Swy.mel. r. . .Philadelphia, Pa. She has a liead to eontrivc, a tongue to persuade, and a hand to execute any mischief. A medium-sized, almost chunky, girl with a merrv face set with two dancing blue eyes, and a mouth which but half discloses the mischief within — that is Jess. Do not be deceived by that de- mure little smile lurking in the corners of her mouth, for sometimes when you are musin.g thus, you will suddenly find yourself the victim of some joke. But a good way to keep her out of mischief is to persuade her to dance — and you ' ll be fascinated. No wonder she is a favorite at all frolics. Janet Cornwall Tait Darby.

Can you not infer from this that Yanet is quite fond of English? Yes. she is. and also quite a writer. When working on themes, she frequently seeks the quiet and peaceful roads (Rhoades). It would certainly be a misfortune for Yanet to lose herself, don ' t you think? For Yanet will make an excellent schoolmarni. Flora M. Tyson. . Norristown. Pa.

Right here we have one who never opens her mouth except to eat or to recite in class. She delights in reading, and from the many books she has read has absorbed much knowledge. I wonder if this wide reading is not the reason for her special fondness for the sciences? Who knows, but that some day we nia - hear of her bringing some new theory in science before the world.

This young lady is a trne represen- tative. One canncjt s?ive her anything but commendations. As a result of her stud- ioiisness, she will make a good, conscien- tious teacher.

She is a mem- ber of the Monre Society. Laura is much interested in Biology and .Astronomy. She expects to teach in Delaware., and will surely bring sunshine to the hearts of the children she teaches. M.MiCUERiTE V. LTON, Willow Grove, Pa. She ' s a winsome lassie. Peg is quite an attractive girl, as I guess you can well perceive. The very mischief seems to be brimming from her eyes. To tell the truth, it is. It ' s this way with Peg: She just can ' t make her eyes behave, and it is the same way with her feet when a tune is struck up. Peg is endowed with lots of jollity, but that isn ' t all— she has lots of good brain-matter which she k]io vs how to use, especially when Geometry is the lesson on hand. She certainly h a shark in this branch of mathematics. Marie C. Wanner Reading. Pa. Siicli ciicliaiitiiiciit. she disf ' lin ' S. Marie and her chum, Bess Chambers, are ahiiDit inseparable friends. You sel- dom see them apart, except wlien ' Bess is real considerate and leaves Marie — not alone, however. She takes great in- terest in the boys ' athletics, as well as in the progress and conduction of the class- book affairs. To say the least, she is a versatile maid; and we wish that all of you might have the opportunity of hear- ing her read Latin.

Louise is so (|uiet that one would hard- ly kniiw she is around, for she studies all the time — morning, noon and night.

She expects to teach after graduation, and will surely succeed because of her pluck and oerseverance. Caroline E. Wedster, Kennett Square, Pa. licclarc. my head seems bursting. It is a known fact in medical circles that headaches follow from overeating, so we are not surprised to find a similar trouble in the head of this young lady, for we who have heard her recite are constrained to think she must ha e swallowed all her text-books.

Mathe- matics is her favorite study, as we all know, since she has been donned with the name of Mathematical Shark. Freda never lets outside matters come into her mind to interfere with her school work. Isn ' t she sensible? She expects to teach ne.xt year, and some time in the near future to finish her education at some college. We will be sure to hear mr)re of her in the future. Clara , . ilh. , is(i. Media, Pa. All rests ti ' i7 i thdse zclio rend. Iky comes to us e ery da ' on the train, and perhaps that is why she so often gives vent to the opinion that every- thing happens to beat the cars. She has given us proof by her work here that she likes best the study of sciences, but for a pastime she seeks easier fields and spends her leisure time in reading to beat the cars. We wish her great suc- cess in the career of teaching, to which she looks forward. Hele.n Wilson Anselma, Pa. Her life serene. Helen is silent, studious and serene. She is one of the shining lights in our Class — in more ways than one. She is a girl of few words, having found that actions speak louder than wc)rds. A girl to be proud of, and ' bound to succeed. She has our best wishes for the future. EiiiLY M. Wilt, . . .Thnmpsontown. Pa. Little, but oh my! Emily lias been here for tlirce years.

For three years Ethel has been with us. and during ' all that time she has been so quiet and busy with her work that we hardly knew she was among our numlier. But she is, and ' we are proud of the fact, for it is hard to find a more faithful stu- dent. Although well acquainted with all of her subjects, she is especially fond of Ethics, and ' tis while Ethel takes her daily walks in the country that she medi- tates over the ethical problems of the day.

But she is naturally quick at everything, in action as well as speech. Her favorite line of work is Mathematics, but from the ap- jiearance of her room one would think she likes housework, too, for it is always scrn]iulously clean. AiniiUK J. Adams Lockwood, N. Y.

A record of our daily work is little needed, for its good results, we trust, will always be seen written plainly on our li ' es; while a history of our merrymakings is still less required, for their bright memories are treasured in our hearts. But for ( ithers who may be interested in us this article is written. The first requisite of a history is truthfulness. With that enil in ie v the writer has examined many original documents and, when ])ossible, has interviewed the participants in the actions herein recorded. Taken as a w hole, we really are a class of which West Chester Normal School may well be proud. Our combined weight is thirty thousand pounds and our combined height twice that of the Washington Monu- ment. .Mtogether we ha e lived more than four thousand years, five centuries of which we ha e spent here in good old Normal. The wisdom accumulated in so many centuries shines forth in our class meetings. Of course this pounds estimate refers to our avoirdupois in flesh and bones, and does not include our gray mat- ter: that is something outside the ])ale of mathematical caluclation. Nor does the announcement as to our lengthwise condition mean more than our physical condition; it is a matter of conimdu re|)ort that intellectu- ally we tower toward realms that aviators have not yet reached. In athletics we iiave gained as many honors as can be expected from a reasonable assignment of time. Space will allow only a summary. Nothing, jjerhaps, re eals the athletic standing of a class so well as the results of the athletic meets. At the field meet in the autumn of icjog. we were two points below the Sen- iors. In the s[)ring of the next year we surpassed them b ' fifteen pnints. Last October ' s inter-class meet closed with a total of sixty points to Nineteen Hundred Ele en and sixty-six to the other classes. We will leave school carrying with us the honor of having set the record of the school fiir the fift ' vards dash. One of our girls tied the world ' s record fur the high jump, and iiur class came within one-fifth of a second 106 of the recdrd for class relay races. Fuur meniliers nf the ' Varsity Basket-hall team are Seniors: so far the team has Ijeeii remarkably successful. ' rurning from the con(|uests of the class in athletics to our victories on intellectual fields, the historian found the most difficult part of his work: for these are ictories that are not iiroclaimed. the result of strug- gles in the quiet i t (nn rooms. . fter much dickering with the Faculty, the various class records were put in the hands of the writer. The marks entered in them are much more interesting that the quotations on Wall Street stock : and the rising and falling in tl ' .em just as sudden. Usually after vacation marks were high, owing no duuht to good resolu- tions, as this was es])ecially true after the Christmas Hnlidays. Then followed a sudden or gradual depres- sion, with here and there a liunk or a take-nxer : and things looked bad for the student, when suddenly the marks rose in an unaccountable manner. This usually took place after a faculty meeting — very strange ! Generallv, one suliject m a student ' s program kept getting good marks while all its companions fared as thev might, well or ill. In this. too. there were sudden changes, all subjects receiving equal attention, till a re- lapse to the old conditions occurred. The purpose of examining these records was to try to weigh the class intellectually by means of the record of its work: but this proved a failure, first liecause the marks ran no higher than one hundred, and sec- ond because it was apparent in many cases that the student had not jnit forth his utmost effort. If in stating the conclusions from this painstaking research the author has not made clear that we are a marvellous class intellectually, he gives it up in despair. Anyway, our genius is in the bud. and who w ' ill attempt to paint the rose l efore it blooms. One of the brightest days in our history — probably the brightest — was that of tlie Middle year play. Then we were not burdened witli the cares and responsibilities of Seniors. Thoughts of a year ' s work well done, a happy vacation and another year at the clear old Normal left our minds in a holiday mood, fit to bring from the past part of Merrie Old England. This will serve to awaken the memory. W ' e will not marr it by further attempt at description. Only remember that Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. 107 ' I ' liis ear came the ' asliin,t;t(in trip, full i f hustle and bustle, with unicli tn see and much U ' learn, a sort of serious jjleasure, -et preparing- us for the kind we must learn t appreciate in the future. The commencement exercises must he included in this list of triumphs and merrymakings; Init it is not for this pen to re ' :nrd the story. The g-raduate may supply it in thought. We can hardly voice our feelings as th(iughts(jf ciiinnieucement come to our mind. Thers has been much hard work, probably many periods of (li.sconragement : Init the rewards of lal)or ha ' e been sweet, the association with our classmates pleasant, and our holida s ne er to lie forgotten. To part from our friends means nnich. hut to part from the iuHueuce of our school means more. We shall al a s he thankful for the professional training recei ed here, but deep- est gratitude shall till our hearts because here we recei ed the germ of culture — that dawning of a wider life — which will win success for us in any field of activity.

At this time, with unusual class s]iirit, we met for organization. The following officers were elected to sei e during Junior ' ear: C arks A. Drake, President: k ' rederick W. Buhi). Vice-President: Ynez Whitney, Secretary; Josephine L. I-iapine, Treasurer. In a follow- ing meeting Clarence S. Powers, Helen G. Inilav and Marion Smith were a])])ninted as the committee to form a Constitution, which we a.dopted . pril 13th. 1810. After carefully considering our attitude to- ward our work during the short time we had been at the dear old Xormal. and the cheerful way in which. we met all discouragements, we chose as our motto. To the stars throiigh difficulties. No other quotation could in an - wa better ajiplv to our determiue l group. We selected as our class flower the La France Rose. For class colors we chose Old Rose and Black, and they are very applicable to our class. Old Rose with us is an emblem of our love for all that is beautiful in nature, and Bihk is a standard color, signifying perseverance. When the State Board of Examiners gave their decision at the end of our Junior ' ear. just as we e. ])ecteil, we found ourseKes anchored safeb ' on Aliddlos ' shore, without the loss of (lue member. It was no surprise to hud that all had passed, because from the beginning, UKun- times we ha e shown exceptional strength in the class room. The majority of oiu class belong to the .Moore and . rvan Societies. In the Societies we have not only been regular attendants, but in every respect stui ' dx- workers. ( )ur athletic career has not been exceptionally brilliant, but when our abilitv in that res])ect is de- x ' eloped. there is no doubt but that we shall ably htdd a jio- ition wortli - of mention. As an e idence of this fact, we were beaten by the class of i )i 1 in two inter-class meets on Wavne Field, but only by a few points. In ;l basket-ball game between our team an l the Senior Reser es. we defeated them by a 116 score of 12-(k Among- the 1)o_vs we have a plucky huncli of atliletes, so l)v persistent effort they will reach the usual standard. We are sure that the history of our class would be very incomplete if we did not insert a few words as to the ability of our girls in athletics. Their attitude in this direction is most worthv of mention. In several basket-ball games they have displaced exceptional skill. The second epoch in our history began in a meeting; of the class, which was held September 25, 1910. Our class is now the largest that has ever been enrolled in the school, numbering over three hun- dred, and we lia e many among ' us who possess exceptional ability in various important lines. fn these few lines we ha e spoken of the most important events in our career up to this time. The part of our history which will be most worthy of mention will grow as years pass. Alwavs keeping in mind the words of our motto, To the stars through difficulties, we shall strive to discover here and there the gaps and defects in our work. ;ind we sh;ill not refrain from attempting something that shall rest on an immova1)le foundation, and which, when put to a test, shall not be found wanting in any nianK- or womanly respect. It is essential to remember That so many sparks will conspire into one flame, so let us work in a wa_ - that e ery little act of our lives shall be instruniental in reaching our Destination. Cl-.

Thonias Slmre acted as chairman. The most important linsi- ness was the election of officers. In later meetings committees were appointed to make recom- mendati(.)ns to the class in regard to colors, llowers, motto, and yells: a cnnimittee was alsd ap- |)oir.ted to draw np a Constitution and Cy-Laws. In the third meeting, the Constitution and Liy- I-aws were adopted liy the class. Owing to the late date at which the class organized, colors, flowers, motto. and yell were not selected, for the Juniors helie e in delierating upon such important matters hefore taking the final step. The class has not yet made a ery brilliant record in athletics, hut the_ - are acti e in all the sports antl give promise of doing some excellent work next ear. We can predict ha ing a ery strong basket-ball team, since the Juniors won a game from the Middlers, after tliat team had been victorious over the Seniors. Our girls on the basket-ball team showed skill in playing, and h pe to do better wurk in their Middler year. So much class spirit is shown by e er - Juninr and such excellent work is done, that their future looks b ight and promising. E. I. Oyler. Juniors little sa® ' ' © tugging couldn ' t Here are the Juniors. See them tugging at the gate. It is a big gate for such little folks to open. Their mammas told them a long time ago to open it. But they couldn ' t remember which way to go. Then the Seniors came and showed them. For a while they pulled and pulled. But they played too much. Now they are bigger. They liave eaten much oatmeal and State-aid. See them lift the latch! Do you think they can open it some time? I think so. NOTE Til THE TKACIIEK.— In arrangins this lesson the autliordid not foiisider it necessary to make Senior one of thu sturty-words. as the normal child is familiar with it by the time he reaches this lesson.

Two score years have passed since the organization of the societ -. Tiie first action was to decide upon a name for the society, upon colors, and a nioito. In honur nf Dr. W ' ni. E, Moore, the society was named the Moore Literary Society. 1 r. . hiore was at that time President of the Board of Trustees of the scliool. The collars chosen were garnet and .gold. Scire est rci crc was chosen as a miitto. Nine ears after organization the society was granted a charter, making it the only incorporated Literary Society in Chester Countv at that time. Since then our average memhersl.ip per year has grown rapidlx ' , and with it the influence of the society. The meetings of the society are held e ery other Saturda}- e ening, alternating with those nf the sister society. Idiese meetings afford to all the members of the society the opportunity of bettering the brain and lifting the life. The means of doing this are the debates, orations, and essays, affording splendid training in speaking, and reading forcefully and vith ease of position. The society paper, The Moore Gazette, is read at each meeting, and re iews freely the eyents of ihe inter- vening weeks. Musical ability is not left nnik ' velo])ed. for indixidual work and chorus work in music always has a large part of the program. At the 1)eginning of each term of the school year, the members arrange for and present an entertainment of high literary type. These special meetings bring out the best of the society and give de -elo])nient to the members, bi.ith performers and the listeners. The Anniversary brings together every year hundreds of the society to spend an exening with a distinguisheil and tal- ented person as entertainer. At these anniversaries one may see lecturers, educators, lawyers, business men, and doctors, who have returned to spend an evening with their society. One of the best features of our society is our annual debate with the Lock Haxen Xonual Schnol. Si. debates were held this year ]jreliminary to the Contest Debate, and in each deliate the three best deliaters were retained. These again debated against three of their o vn division. The final three compose the team, together witH a fourth debater as alternate. The cpiestions debated have all been such as to l)e of bearing on current events. The - were as follows: Rcsolird. That the teaching of agriculture in all the rural schools of PennsyKania is desiralile and jjracticable. ' That President Taft ' s administration deserxes the hearty support of the American iienple. That Socialism is the best remedy for the economic problems of to-day. That State Boards of .Arln ' tration with compulsory powers should be appointed to settle disjiutes l)et een eni])loyer and eni]:)liiyees. That the general government should grant financial aid to ships engaged in our foreign trade an.d owned by the citi- zens of the United States. That .social functions are occupying a iilace so im])iirtant to-day in the minds and li es of our citizens as to be detri- mental to the well-l)eing of our people. C. R.

It has been the aim of our society this ear to afford her m ;nihers an excellent o]i|iortnnitA ' for the training of the cajiital of the orator. Tlie Boys ' and the ( iirls ' Oratorical Contests ha e resulted in a marked success and ha e pnned ery bene- ficial to all those who participated. The Hstener has ]irobabl} ' discerned that our meetings ha e been musical as well as literary. This has added nnich to the esthetic side of cjur programs. Consciously or uninnsciously its influence has been e.xerted. The wurk of the . ryan ( )uartet is especially commendable. In fact the present ear has been a most successful one for the . ryans in all lines of work. ' e have constantly increased in numbers and ha e raised the standard of literary culture by the excellent programs ]5resented. ' flie executi -e staff for this ear is certain that these faxorable conilitions were only hrought al.iout by the wil- lingness and the earnestness with which the memhers undertook their work. We realize now That the end crowns the work. ; nd a feeling ' of satisfaction dwells in oiu ' hearts as we leave our fellow . ryans and our beloved institution. The influence of our societ - does not die with oiu- retireuK-nt from acti e membership. The few ears we have been here are years of impression onl ' .

We have been favored and our interest in departmental work heightened b} ' visits from sec- retaries of the National Board and Territorial Committee. This year we have been fortunate in having from these ranks. Miss Wilbur. Miss Butler, and Miss Sheppard, to tell us of their work. We are always well represented at the Summer Conference. The Conference this year was held at Denison University, Granville, Ohio. Those attending as delegates were, Miss Elsie Bull, Miss Margaret Derricksun, Miss Mabel Yearsley, Miss Mary Kerr, and Miss Naomi Geesey. The funds used in sending delegates are secured largely through a bazaar. The bazaar this year, given as The County Fair. proved not only a source of revenue, Ijut socially, was enjoyed by all participants. The .Association holds its weekly religious meetings from si.x to seven o ' clock Thursday evenings in the chapel. These meetings are usuallv led by the students, wlm are thus trained and developed for Christian service in the community to which they may go. Occasionally joint meetings are held with Young Men ' s Christian Association, which give splendid opportunities for hearing some of the best Bil)le students and foremost Christian workers in our country. The business of the Association is transacted in the monthly cabinet meetings. The caliinet consists of the officers of the Association, together with tlie chairmen and secretaries of the various committees. These cimimittees as they now stand are Committees on Membership, Bible Study, Missi(jnary Work, Inter-Collegiate Work and Systematic Gi ing for Missions. The Missionary Department is stronger this year than at any other time in the history of the Association. There is now, a Mission Study Class of fifty members, leil by Mrs. F. H. Starkey, and also three Reading Circles, led by various mem- bers of the missionary committee. Thus the work of the Association moves steadily onward, ever aiming to guide the girls to noble living and true success • — success oljtained not by might, not by power, but Iw My spirit, saith tlie L(.iril of hosts.

Talbot HE ALL ' MNI ASSOCIATION of the West Chester State Nurmal School was organized mi the e ' ening of lune 23, 1875. by the members of the classes of 1874 and 1875 — twenty-eight people ill all. The membership is now nearly three thousand. Mr. George G. Groff, ' 74, was elected [ ' resident, and a Committee on Constitution and B ' -laws appointed. At the meeting of June, 1876, the Constitution and By-laws were a(U)pte(l, which governed the Association until 1887. when they were revised. For many vears it was the custom of the - ssociation to hold a private session, followed by a public meeting, at which members previously appointed, presented a prograuL The public meeting was a fea- ture of Commencement week until 1893, when it was thought wise to discontinue it. Always there was the all-important banquet. In early years each memlier was taxed a small sum to defray expenses of the l an(piet. which was ordered and arranged by a committee apjiointed by the President. Sometimes a bal- ance from the necessary expenses was sufficient to buy a small souvenir for each one present at the banquet. In the pri ' ate meeting of 1896 the committee on festivities, of which Supt. Addison L. Jones was chairman, suggested that it would perha])s be lietter to dispense with the sou enir and use any monies remaining fmm the cost of the l)anquet toward the estalilishiiig and maintaining of a Scholarship, or loan fund, for those 140 who have not the means oi omipleting their ccuirse of study. This siiggfestion met with such hearty ap- proval that suhscriptions to such a fund were at once made ; and from this suggestion grew our present Ahmiui Loan l ' in l. At the meeting of 1897, the committee on the Loan Fund reported that one hundred fifty dollars had been loaned during the past year, and Mr. A. V. Potter, ' 75, suggeste l that as the . ssociation now holds propertv and Inans mone - it sin mid becume an incurpi irate body. . Accordingly a cnmniittee was ap- pointed to secure a charter from the Courts of Pennsylvania. This was done in 1898, and the same year the By-laws were revised. Since 1898 the Trustees of the Normal School have given a lianquet to the Alumni Association, ami the dues, cullected from e ery one wlm attends the lian(|uet, are de iitccl to the Loan Fund, which has grown largelv, and u]) to the present time nearly a hundred students have been lieljied by it. The money is loaned without interest. From i8()3 until 1910, Miss Susan C. Lodge, ' . w.-is the alile and efficient Secretary of the Associa- tion. In 1910 Miss L(j(lge declined re-election, as ( tb-v onerous duties occupie l her time. Eliz. beth F. Criley, p-- ( -.  Cbe Htnukt Staff A(I-c ' isoy Board — Dr. G. M. Philips Dr. F. H.

All of the team of ' 09- ' 10 were included in their number. A glance at the schedule is good evidence that Normal did something. They forgot that Manager . twell was as capable as ever in coach- ing and drilling a team. They didn ' t think Denworth and Teamer w ould becnme fast floor men, and that Taylor and Diem would assume the defensive and play fast at guard. They didn ' t knuw that Mantz was coming to do the shooting. However, the quintette if this vear, although light and inexperienced, succeedeil in cumijleting a hard sched- ule with a good record. In addition to the ' Varsity, Normal bad a strong Reserve team, which competed successfully with the best teams of their class in this section of the country. wo Senior Basket Ball Ceam Manager Homer ' .

Without barring ' Varsity men, the Senicirs were the undisputed champions, so to add to the interest of the contests all ' Varsity men were disquali- fied. In the struggle for second place, the Juniors, with Mantz doing their star work, won over the Middlers by a small margin. . ' .ll the teams did creditable work, and the playing of some of the under-classmen was very commendable. Mana.ger .Atwell watched the contests with an eager eye, and is elated with the prospects for next year ' s team. When school opens next fall he will proceed at once to drill and coach his new ' team, and doubtless, we returning as alumni for the opening game of the seasnn. will be made aware of the fact that we are has beens. 154 Base-Ball NtJRMAL ' S goud standing in base-ball will be well Misiaiiied this spring.

As into the basket went the ball with a hound. Let us go back to the days of yore. When our team was given a place on the floor. When we as Middlers won our first game. And how from then on we arose in fame, ' Till at the end of the season we put up a score ()f having won every game we played on the floor; With what pride we displayed our N of dark blue. Which .so nobly we won as we put the games through. This year when as Seniors we stood on the floor. We made up our minds to be Champions once more. So nobly we practiced, each one in her place. That the first game we played was won with good grace ; In the rest of the games we showed no retreat, But finished the year without a defeat; Then 191 1 went up with our N, And we completed our work in triumph again. Come, let us drink to the bloomered girls, ith their flying middies and tousled curls; They who have played two years at the game. And won for themselves a worthy name ; They who in playing only victory knew, Under the Sable and Turquoise Blue ; Three cheers for the Seniors who have faithfully striven As basket-ball players of 1911. 163 The loJel School Ifij motto ' How far tliis little candle sheds its lio ' ht.

He is hrni in his belief that the time has come when the United States should form an alliance with those other states be- -ond the sea and plan for preserving freedom on the great- est ocean of the world. He said We may escape the Yellow Peril by recognizing China and telling the truth about her, liy teaching Chinese history, and by sending capa- ble men tcj China to rei)resent us. ■■RASCALS AXD SALVTS. Dr. E. A. U ' iii.diil . The veteran educator brought home to us some of the most important (piestions of humanity. He said, Pri- marily, a rascal is the other fellow. The saint is yourself. The saint is measured by what he does for the sinner. R er - l)o - should be taught something by which he can earn his livlihood. ■■LIFE IX A GERM AX UXIi ' ERSITW ' Proro. ' ;! Edgar F. Siiiitli. I ' rovost Smith told us in a mo.st familiarizing way about three vears of his life, spent in one of the oldest and liest known of the German Universities, that of Goettingen. He said, While things are not what could be wished for in the German Univertities, I believe my three years were well spent and that any young man who goes with earnestness of ]iurpose can get much in knowledge and experience at a moderate cost. 175 C rner Stone l.ayinii 376 Laying of the Corner- stone X a meetins:; ' held liv the Senior Class it was deemed prtjper for the Class of 191 1 to dedicate and to lay the cornerstone of the Boys Dormitory which is l)eing ' erected. The class unanimously decided to do this as a token of their love for the school. The proper steps were taken, and a massixe stone of Avondale marble, hearinn- this inscription, Class 191 1. was secured. On Saturday afternoon, December 13, 1910, a goodly numlier of the members of our class, faculty, and their friends wended their way out to Wayne Field to participate in the ceremony. , t 2 o ' clock our state]} ' banner was placed into position. C)ur President then extended a cordial wel- coiue to all those present, and briefly ex])lained to them the order of the exercises. The presentation of the stone was made liy Robert S. Gawthro]5, Esq., District Attorne} ' of Chester county and a Trustee of the ' est Chester State Xornial School. In an excellent address he stated the hiinor afforded our class of joining; in the exercises and of laving ' the cornerstone as the foundation for the beautiful new building in its permanence. Mr. Gawthrop said. ' T am sure and I am firmly convinced that the only thmg to be striven for by all and the only way to Iieconie young men and wonien, is to lay the cornerstone of character. The man who rises in the world and in the estimation of his fellow-nien has a strong character. Air. Gawthrop then presented the stone to Dr. Philips, who recei ed it in be- half of the school, asking him as he did so, To rememljer the class of 191 1 as a class that holds the interest of the school at heart and that will continue to have the interest in vou and the institution for which you have done so niuch. Dr. Philips then accepted the stone, and in part said: I appreciate your loyalty and faithfulness to duty to the school, because it is faithfulness to duty in which you all honor yourselves, your class, and your school. I thank you for the appropriate gift and I wish for you an abundance of those thing ' s which are really worth while. The bo.x containing the class roll, the Middle year number of The Amulet. 1911 class pennant, a Local Xcws of date, and the roster of oiu ' officers was then placed into its resting place. After this had been sealed, the exercises were over and the class felt as though it had done something worth while. The sincere hope of the class is that this beautiful building ' will be forever permanent and that it will endure for generations. But if the time shuuld e ' er come in the nature of things, when the building must give way, and future generations find this stone, they will know and feel that there was here a class of young men and women earnest in the endeavor to succeed in the world and to take a place in the citizenship of this great country of ours. J. B. O. Seniors at M ' ashiiii loii Cbe Ulasbington Outing Arlington Hotel, Washington. D.C., Feb. 24. 191 1. De. r Betty: — It ' s long after Xi)rnial lieil-tinie. Init we ' ve just come from the theatre, and it ' s ntterh ' inipussible to go to sleep. There ' s been one grand rush since we arrived, but such fun! To-morrow we e.xpect to tour the Treasury, the State. War and Navy Building, and Corcoran Art Gallery; meet Secretaries MacVeagh and Meyer, and attend a reception by President Taft in the White House. W ' e are all luuking forwanl in the trip t(.) Alt. Vernon (by boat if the weather permits) in the afternoon, after which we will go at once to the station and start for home. But I should have be- gun at the first day ' s occnrrences rather than the last. When we reached Washingtim. we marched in double-(|uick time to the Capitol, where we were shown almut In- guides, and endea ' ored tn absurb e erything we heard and saw. thmugli wide- open mouths, eyes and ears. Strange to say. no one incpiired whence we had come; we were highly gratified at finding that we looked the indifferent, all-knowing Washingtonian tii such an extent. The whispering gallery delighted all, especially the girls, who rexelled in it as the chance of a lifetime to do two shares of talking at one time, . fter the rece])tion by Vice- President Sherman, we witnessed the opening of the House of Representatives. Senate and SupremeCourt ; our entrance to the House was publiclv announced bv L ' ncle Joe Cannon, who nodded his head and waxed his hand in acknowledgment of our presence, though, unfortunately, the business of the House prevented him from greeting us individually with a hand-shake, or e en from looking our way. Senator Beveridge. of Ohio, delivered a pcjrtinn of his eloquent appeal to the Senate, for our benefit, and Supreme Court very accommodatingly, tlmugh bashfully, fnr fear of causing adverse criticism on our part, w ' ent through its whole process of opeifing session and taking up the day ' s work. The Library of Congress was a niarx ' el to all ; as far as I can see, ice nfight just as well lay aside our pens and paint brushes, for there isn ' t an inch of s])ace left unadorned l)v the work or names of distinguished men, fortunate to have lived be- fore our fame reached the ears of the world. The automobile tour of the city was very pleasant, and started out as such things often do. with a break-down in one of the foremost cars. The gossij) we heard dui ing that ride surpassed all I ' ve e er heard, 1T9 with the sole exce])tiiin (if Nornial, and what wasn ' t tdld nf diir men of state was apparently not worth telliny, nnlcss it he that (lur g nide ' s lireath tailed tn keep pace with l.is imagination. At 8.45 we left the table (don ' t think we got there at 5.30, please) and started fiir Congressional Library, arriving there in time to receix ' e (|uite a reminder of bed-time by the lights going ont. This A.M. we hastily isited the Bnrean of Engraving and Printing, Smithsonian Institute and Old and New National Museum. Some of the party went to the Fish Commission Building, but the rest of us preferred to spend most of our time in a rather minute inspection of Washington Monument. The inscribed slalis at every landing were z ' cry interesting, the climb to the top. pleasantly lengthy, and the view from that height, magnificent. After lunch we went through the Post Office Building, and then visited Arlington Heights. The grounds and view are beautiful, the former so particularly so, that the majority of the crowd were seen surreptitiously carrying a portion of it away with them on their heels or wherever else it would be least noticeable. We rushed through clinner and. as I said, went to the theatre. The Belasco, where Every Woman was being played. I ' m decidedly tired, but am anticipating an interesting day to-morrow, and then the ride back! b ' roni the appearance of things now, there will be rather more excitement than there was coming down, when the only commotion was a discussion as to whether it was the Atlantic Ocean or Chesapeake Bay we were crossing. Dr. and Mrs. Philips have certainly been good to us, and it ' s a trip wdiich we ' ll not forget in a lifetime. I ' ll have to close now, but will tell you about it in detail wdien I see you during vacation. Affectionately your friend, Crecy. P. S. — I forgot to mail this this morning. I just want to say that we met Admiral Dewey, too, and the trip to Mt. Vernon was glorious. The train is going to start in a few minutes.

The afternoon of the Twenty-Second, following a scrumptious dinner, found a cheerful company gathered in the library building, where guests, after pay- ing their respects to Dr. and Mrs. Philips, Mr. and Mrs. Starkey. and Miss Elvira Speakman, the receiv- ing line in the rotunda, proceeded to the north reading room and took part in a Presidential Levee, held by President Washington and his official household. Many nutaljle personages in powder and lace stepped out of the past and joined the gxjodlv company. President Washington (Class President Hollenbach ) was accompanied not only by Lady ' ashington (Miss Larzelere, Class Secretary), but her granddaughter, Nellie Curtis (Miss McFee, Class Treasurer), presided at the Colonial tea table, while his -enerabIe mother, Mary Washington (Miss Kidney), beamed with pardonable pride on her illustrious son. Joh.n Adams ( Vice-President Adams ) and that talented lady, Abigail, his wife, and their young son, John (Juincy. soon to follow worthily in his father ' s steps, were also in line. Tliomas Jefferson was there witli his daughter Alartha, besides his political rival, . le- ander Hamilton, and his high-bred lady. Benjamin h ' ranklin with his good wife, Abbie. and the great Quaker financier, Koljert Morris, and his helpmate. Nor did some of Washington ' s Generals disdain to be present. Anthony Wayne and Richard Henry Lee served as efficient aids in presenting the company to their President, and General Green and his lady were in attendance. The wives of some of the worthies who were themselves detained by state or private business, added grace to the occasion. The fascinating Dolly Madison, stately Madame Hancock, Mrs. Monroe and Mrs. Jay, charm- ing Peggy Chew, as well as the plainly-garbed l)ut bright-eyed Phoebe Cox and Elizabeth Billerby, first teachers in XA ' esttown Boarding School, and mrai}- another pretty maid and matron of the far-off day tripped about in cheerv friendliness. . t intervals, a statel_ - minuet, such as Washington ever enjoyed, was danced by sc.ime of the gracious personages.

Miss Groome ' s genius had again materialized some of the attractive pictures which had been in the recent exhibitiun, only this time they were a little better than the real thing, because they came out of the Class of 1912. As the afternoon aned and the merrv company reluctantly drifted apart, the prevailing remark heard was: What a good time we had! I am so glad that this year there were no serious cases afflicting 191 1, so that it had to be sent home before Washington ' s Birth lav Reception ' . nd then they all went to pack their suit-cases for the Washington trip ne.xt day. C. E. E. 181 Art Exhihflio Stlltri Auniml lExlitbtttnu of ...Painting and Sculpture... HE class of igi i were nidst foi-tunate in being- aliie during their Senior year to see an exceptiinial exhibit of Paint- ings and Sculpture by the foremost American artists, held in the Library Gallery during January. The fact that the State Normal School of West Chester is the only one in the country to hold exhibitions of this character should be a source of pride for ' the student body here. Fullerton L. Waldo, an art critic and associate editor of the Phila- delphia Public Ledger, sent us his heartiest congratulations on ha ing assembled here such a highly creditable and interesting collection of paintings and sculpture. Mr. W. W. Thompson, editor of the Local News, and himself an artist, after visiting the exhibition writes us in the highest terms of the works shown this year. In re ie ing this exhibition one feels at a loss to know where to begin, but since Wm. M. Chase is acknowledged as one of the foremost American painters, we will notice first his two small, but charming landscapes, a Still Life, and his Ijest work sent. The Little Red Box. which is a portrait of his daughter in Japanese costuiue. By artists this is considered his masterpiece. Robert Henri ' s Happy Girl and The Blue Kimono, the latter having been awarded the gold medal at the Art Club in Philadelphia last year, were not only strong in painting but interesting in the extreme. We were fortunate, through the courtesy of John Frederic Lewis, Esq.. of Philadelphia, to have the portrait of Mrs. Lewis and son. painted by Cecil Beaux, who is considered one of the great- est women portrait painters in America. Another portrait which w as greatly admired, and deservedly so. was that of Mrs. C. Shillard Smith, of Haverford. by Hugh H. Breckenridge. Lillian Genth ' s charming paintings, so full of sunlight, and Martha Walter ' s Wood Market and Wayside Inn. painted in Dalmatia. both rich in color and interesting in composition, were seen in the exhibit. Wni. T. Smedley ' s White Gldve. Mrs. Chas. F. Prizer ' s portrait of her daughter Bettv, anil W. W. Gilchrist ' s portrait of his father were all strong and interesting. Amiing the landscapes the Road to the West, b_ - Chas. H. Davis, and The Old Barn, by Edward W. Redfield, stand out most ])roniinently, but among the others which deserve especial notice are those by Childe Hassam, Mary Bntler, Chas. Morris Young, S. Edwin Whitenian, Adolphe Borie, Chauncy Ryder, John Weygandt, Carleton Wiggins, Edward Dufner. Leslie Thompson, Elmer McRea, John Stone and Samuel G. A. Rogers. Mention must be made of tlie beautiful moonlight scenes l)y Albert G. Groll. Chas. Warren Eaton, Birge Harrison and Paul Connoyer. A trio of Baltimore artists who sent charming studies of children were Camelia Whitehurst, Mary Krenielberg and Emilie Hergenroeder. The Marine Paintings by Paul Dougherty and Alice Kent Stdddard were fine examples of their work. Among the noted water color and pastel painters were Alexander Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. Colin Campbell Cooper, Clara Maderia, Frank R. Whiteside, Richard Farley, Mrs. S. C. Schmucker, Alexander Hoyle and Paula Himelsbaugh. E. M.

Accordingly, after a number of preliminary meetings had been held in aiKancement of this ])roject. the Trustees were em- piciiiMiiuiiN iiiecuHL s iiau ueeii iicnt iii an aiR enieiu ui Llll |tiojceL, uic i i limcc wcic em- powered by an Act of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsyhania to sell the ])rop- ertv of the . cademv at private sale, and the ])roceeds of this sale, amounting to some twenty-eight thousand dollars, were devote l to the building of the Normal School. The cornerstone of the present main building was laitl Se])tember 14. 1870. by the State Superint dent of Public Schools. Dr. J. P. Wickersham. In the following February a])plication was made to Ci.. , i.

A committee was ap])ointecl therefore which visited the buildings on February 22, and having reported fa (irablv. the Su])erintendent thereupon issued a proclamation declaring the insti- tution a State X irnial .School for the b ' irst District. On May i, 1871. the stockholders met and elected a board of trustees, consisting of the following persons: Dr. Vm. W ' orthington, W ' m. S. Kirk, R. T. Cornwell, John G. Robinson. Vm. E. Moore, Marshall B. Hickman. Wm. I!. Waddell. Evans Rogers and Josiah Hoopes. The organization of this Board was effected May 6, 1871, with Rev. Win. E. Moore. President; Capt. R. T. Cornwell. Secretary; and Thomas W. Marshall, Treasurer. The first act of the Board was to elect a Princi])al, Prof. Ezekiel Cook, of Madrid. Maine, and the school opened September 25. 1871, with the very gratifying number of over one hundred boarders and thirty day students. Prof. Cook resigned the Principalship in 1872. and Prof. Wni. . Chandler served as Principal for the winter term. an l. in the autmnn of 1873. Prof. (leo. L. Maris, of Kennett Scpiare. Pa., was elected til till the ;ic;int ]ilace. I ' rtjf, Maris remained at the head nf the schiml for eight years, leaving it in i88i to take a professorship in Swartliniore College, while later he hecanie rrinci| al of George School, at Newtown. Pa. From iSSi the Xdrnial School has l)een under the able and efficient leadership of Dr. Cieo. Morris Philips, to whose remarkable executive ability and fine scholarship it owes, more than to an - other one ■cause, its foremost ])lace among the Normal Schools of the State and of the country. Dr. Philips is w idely known as one of the leading educators of the United States, and has occupied positions of honor and responsibility, and refused many more. As the years rolled on. various other buildings were added to the school plant. In iSjSand r88j. the north and south wings were built: in 1885-6 the dining-room, chapel, etc. The g) ' nmasium was built in 1890, and the Principal ' s house and the infirmary in 1891-- ' . In due succession came the reci- tation hall in i89_ ' -3, the model school building in 1899. ' fl the lilir;iry in 1903. and at the present writ- ing, the enlargement to the dining-room, the new kitchen, and the d( rmitor ' for l)o s are in process of erection.

September 29. 1871. the JMoore Literary Society was organized, and Rev. Wm. E. Moore. President of the Board of Trustees and pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of ■est Chester, became its first iJresident. Its nuittn. Scire est n i;i-n and its colors, GarncI and Gold, are known tn all. 1 he sister society, the . ryan, followed se en years afterwards in, 1879, having for its colors. Light Blue and Gold, i ui inv its mnUn, Finis coroiiat opus. These two societies have done much for their members in training them along the lines of public speaking, debating, and parliamentary order. Many nf those who have gone forth fmm these halls ha e said that the training recei e(l in the acti ' e participation in the meet- ings of these two societies has been quite as valuable to them as that of the class-room itself. For a long time it was the custom on the anniversaries of the.se societies to present ' ery creditable papers. The Moore Literary Gacette. and Tlie Aryan Reriew. Init in Noxember. 1891. it was decided to merge the two into a nmnthly periodical, named I ' he Amulet, which is still living and flourishing.

Reid and Mrs. Richard Darlington started a branch (if the Woman ' s Christian Temperance L ' nion in iSSo, but in iS8S onr society became a part of the Christian lemperance League, because of the desire to remain non-partisan. The organization still ex- ists, with Mrs. Geo. Morris Philips as its president, thoug ' h in the multiplicity of other s(.)cieties it is not so |)riiminent as of old. The ' oung Men ' s Christian Association was begun on October i6, 1890, and the Young Women ' s Chris- tian . ssociation on September 24, i8t i. Prof. Green was the first president of the former, and still holds that otfice. Miss Eloise Mayhem was the first president of the latter; she was succeeded by Miss Mary .A. Cnmmings; then came Miss Sara S. Kirk, whom so many of us still remember with love and appreciation; and at the present time Mrs. F. H. Starkey most systematically and efficiently carries on this great work. The faculty of the schoiil has always stood for the highest scholarship, and it is to them, with the prin- cipal at their head, that the success of the schijol is due. Each year adds to their efficiency, and many of them have a rei)utation as educators that is not confined to the limits of our own state. Dm ' ing the summer acation of 1X77-1878. a summer school, one of the first of its kind in the country, was held under the auspices of the Normal School, and although it seemed successful and was quite well at- tendeil, it was discontinued. Now, however, after the lapse of all these years, we are again to have a sum- mer .school: and as several members of the faculty are the ])rime movers of the scheme, it will, no doulit, l e successful and lasting this time. This will add one more to the many channels of infiuence which makes the school so effective and so useful. Thus through the changes and chances of the years, has the school advanced. Contr;,st the one hundred of its first enrollment with the eight hundred of the present one, the ten meml)ers of the first class graduated witli the two hundred fifteen of the last, and these, with other evidences of strength, must make us prouil to be memliers of the Iwst Normal School in Pennsvlvania.

The essay following received first prize: WASTE or MILITARISM. R is a priidiict of savagery. Before men had pnwer ti discriminate right fnim w rung, war was necessary to secure food. When men were heastial it was also a defense. Tiien fighting is a brutal iniierite l instinct, a rehc of the time when man ate iiis fellow beings, an instinct that civilized men should be ashamed to possess. . mong rude nations war was conilucted b}- tumultuous hosts wdio suddenly congregate, ami after the ictor or defeat as quickly disappear. Wars of ci ' ilized nations are conducted b_ - armies well trained and disciplined; by means of fleets at sea as carefully prepared as the armies on the land. Here preparation for war requires not onlv the forming and training of armies, but also vast pro ' isions of the means and material of war. . liarbarous war costs only the lives of those who meet face to face in the conflict. . war carefully planned and con- ducted by the skill and wisdom of civilized men destroys with greater cunning and treachery than the Indian, and because of the bonds of civilization every citizen of the nations engaged feels the loss to industry, finance and cix ' ilization. Wars of any great length of time seriously affects the whole ci ili.zed world and causes untold sutYering, especially to the poor. h ' ifteen billion str(.)ng active men have been killed in the wars of civilized nations. These wars meant a direct loss of more than one hundred billion dollars and twice as much by cessation of industry. The nation ' s actual exjienses for arma- ments are two billion dollars, while their debt for militarism is three and one-half billions. In the nineteenth century, during which two hundred disputes were settled by arbitration, fourteen million men were sacrificed in war. , 11 these estimates of death do not include those who were crippled or who died of disease or exposure. In our own countr - more than a million ha e lost their li es in war. and the cost has been billions of dollars. Aside from this we have spent three billion dollars in pensions and twi; billions more are to be paid. Two-thirds of our annual income is spent on militarism, even in time of peace. 193 I ' hree million dollars is the cust nf nr.e tirst-class battleship, which lasts milv lifteeii vears. With tins siun, huildings for a larg-e university could be built that would last for centuries. One shot of a cannon, which costs seventeen hundred dol- lars, would pav ff)r a four years college course at four hundred twenty-five dollars per annum. After sixty shots the cannon which costs one hundred thousand dollars is worn out. Each year we build more liattleships, larger and uKjre deacllv than any that have yet been constructed, to he cast aside in a few years as out of date. Battleships are worthless without cruisers : cruisers are worthless without toriiedo boats ; torpedi_ boats worth.less without torpedo boat destroyers: all these worthless without colliers, ammunition boats, hospital boats, and repair boats. And all these need men. with thousands of dollars for training. Our na ' is third in the world. Whenever we strengthen our na v Cireat Britain strengthens hers. Weaker nations f illow suit, and so the mad rush for supremacy ' continues. Great Britain is now able to compete with any possible combina- tion of nations, and strives to compete with the impossible combination of all. How foolish to dream of this! And what if some engine of war yet to be invented would make all these battleships and guns useless? Would that the brotherhood of men might be the means of making these preparations useless! Yet the financial cost is least. The men selected to be killed in war are the strongest and bravest, the on.es least able to be spared from the home and the nation. The poor soldier who leaves his family, without a protector, to unknown dangers and certain poverty is not the one wdio declared war. The only question that confronts him is, Since war is declared shall I de- fend my own home or cowardly let another do it? When nations are committing a crime which citizens would shudder to mentiijn is it strange that morals are lowered in all walks of life? When some industries are entirely closed and all com- merce is checked is it strange that men become discontented and pessimistic? When engaged in the work of killing each other do men put their highest thoughts on the elevation of their fellow men ? I low can we appease our conscience with the slaughter of millions when it is wrong to kill one? We s;iv wc are opposed to killing our neighlxirs. but when the word war is breathed b ' anv one. all who hear take it up. Pu,giiacit ' is born within us. and when public opinion is aroused, reason fiees. Public o])inioii produces a public sentiment for war, and it reaches such a high pitch no ruHng ixnver can quiet it. . fter seeing ll ' ar, war. 7var in the papers for three months, the President gave in to our demands, and the sf|ualid war with Spain in 189S was the result. We seldom speak of ])eace except when we are expecting war. and the elaborate jjreparations for war means we want war. 194 wild wants war? Nut the |)ooi- man.

X ' ot the rulers. Xo, not al heart. It is the military man who- e ])r.ifession is war. Ilis life has hecn centered on it and how can he h e without it or, at least, the prospect of it ? He considers war as a mystical p ' ower and as a permanent human ohligation. He can always see the possibility of war and the great necessity for fighting, exen for ac(|uisition of land. He influences the ignorant and the susceptible men to believe that though it is wrong for one man to take another ' s pr(.)perty by force, it is right for nations to do it. Wars aid military men. and them onlv — these few who can -.tir u]) the belligerent instinct and arouse iwblic sentiment in faxiir c if war. They say fortifications are made to secure jieace. l!nt the more tliev fortifv the more they fear. Thev have hallucina- tions of foes. To appease these few of fear we cri])])le the nation with del:! making gi;ns for ])cace. The old adage is true: Militarism is a costly disease. So long as we have a military class we will have wai LUit nnist we have a militar_ - class? We do not foster anv other barbarc)US trait. hy nintiu ' e this d.eadly vice at so great co--t in monev, men, and morals. If these preparations of war yer2 usetl for peace think of h iw nuich goorl could be accomplished w ith such large armies of men an l such vast amounts of money. Tuberculosis has killed more for any civilized nation than pestilence an l war, but the amount spent to remedy this evil is insignificant in com])arison with the cost of one liattlesliip. How advantageous if we had_ an orgar.ized band ready to help in tires, floods, and earthquakes. Though the profession of soldier and sailor has alwa s Ijeen hor.orable how nnicli more noble it w ould be if its piu ' pose would be to help humanity by fostering invention, solv- in g the labor problem and teaching useful arts to all w ho desn-ed. How much more etTective it would be if we spent on pres- ervation of forests, on irrigation, canals, roads, bridges, and on ' ■nring cancer and rabies, the millions we spend on annexatior and the billions we waste on gigantic armies that do not hel]i humanity at all. This wnnlil be human, moral and helpful, while wai ' is cruel, immoral and brutal. Because men ha ' e ceased In iinililale tlie Indies of the dead, liecaiise we now .i;i e ([iiarter wlien asked ior. and because some restrictions have been made, they say war is civihzed. War is not civihzed, and never can l)e. Men still murder each i ther with jealdus rage. Nations still go to war with the same brutal desire — tu kill as many as possible of the enemy. In the na ' al battles of th.e Russo-Japanese war, half the bodies could not be recognized, many could not be found and the loss of life was enormous. War cannot be ameliorated. We have restricted it. Why not prevent it by some means? We trust men and nations in all (itlier affairs. L ixilizatinn demands it. Will nations trust our terms of peace, when we come witli weainnis behind nur backs. ' ' Every dollar we spend fen- militarism hinders peace. Animals do not kill each ither except for food and protection, and the simrn to contend with their inferiors in strength. We, a highly civilized nation of the most intelligent race, have fought with hut one superior.

We do not realize how much we could accomplish for Innnanity with the time and money spent on war. . rts and industries would be improved and the human race would be elevated.

' ■ ' Twas many years ago when Mistress Ann entertained her callers in this old room. I was here then, l.)ut I was quite young. Mistress . nn had a very strict fathei ' , who had the iild-fashic med idea that ' one shouUl go to bed ith the chickens. She also had a lover wliose ideas on that matter were altogether different from those of his prospective father-in-law.

Seen From My Window Far out from my window, on the slope of a green hill, lies a small gra -e-yaril, the white headstones standing out clearly from the green backgrounil, ith here and there a splash of brilliant color, where lu ing hands have planted shrubs and flow- ers in remembrance of those dear ones who have gone on before. There is no sadness or melancholy about the picture, for it is all so peaceful and quiet, with the cheerful September sun beaming down from above, and the trees waving their lisping branches to and fro in the breeze, that no gruesome idea of death connects itself with the scene, but a sort of yeanfing, wistful mood comes upon one when gazing out there, and the long- ing words of Tennyson ' s poem come to mind: — But O tor the touch of a vanished liand, Atid the sound of a voice that is still.

In the milk-house, amid bumping and clanking of pails and buckets, the men are cooling the milk for the night, while two plavful kittens cease their antics to dive w ith all fours into a pan of fresh milk poured from the big bucket by the chore boy.

An October Day The lung, slanting ravs of the afternoon sun seemed to beckon us from our comfortable chairs indoors, to go out and admire the beauties of autumn in array. . 11 day the weather had been fine, with just enough wind stirring to send the new- fallen leaves hither and thither, over iiaxement and street, in a vain attempt to find a place of rest. And now. as we strolled slowly about in the glow of the afternoon sunshine, the leaves yet remaining on the trees showed to the best advantage their beautiful coloring, which varied from palest yellow to deepest crimson. A few leaves yet green made a delightful contrast with the nun-e brilliant ones, and gave to the landscape a quiet dignity that would not have been apparent without them. . t the close of day the beautiful sunset, which marked the ])assing of the sun lielow the western horizon, .seemed a lit- ting end to a perfect October day. Hei,en E. Goss. 800 X3bc Declaration of Independence of tbc Class of 1911 III-IX, in the cuurse nf Imniaii e ents, it liecmnes necessary for one liiuh- ni students to lliruw off the tyrannical bonds which have held them in subjection, and to assume, among the rest of the world, the independent and equal rights to w ' hich the laws of nature and of nature ' s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of the higher authi.rities here at school, re(|uires that we shall declare the causes wliicli drive us to this end. W ' e hold these truths of be self-evident, that all people are created somehow: that the ' are endowed by their parents with an encouraging prospect for a future mind, in which, lying in microscopic form are common sense, knowled.ge, and the germ of the Almighty Dollar. That to develoij and enlarge these microscopic forms. State Normal Schools are instituted among men, drawing their sustenance from the pocket-books of the patrons; that whenever the rules at that school become too tyrannical, it is the right of the patrons to alter or to abolish them, or to place their prodigies in some other institution, laying its founilation on better principles, and organizing its power in such a fc.irm as to them shall seem most likely to enlarge their microscopic brains. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that the State Normal Schools long established have manv desirable and undesiral)le (pialities; and, accordingly, all experience hath shown, that mankind is more disposed to suffer, whiFe e ils are sufferable, than to take the trouble to abolish the impending e il. But. when a list of rules three feet long is tacked on the doors of fi -e hundred rooms, stating only what the inmates are allowed not to do, evincin,g a desi.gn to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty to throw off such government ami to provide new guards for their future betterment. Such, has been the jiatient sufferance ot the members of the class of igi i for three whole years, at the W ' est Chester State Normal School and such is now the necessity which constrains them to attempt a change in their fdniitr s stein of gi eniiiient. The histdvy of this State Xnniial School is a history of repeated detentions, and sus- pensions, all ha ing, in direct ol)ject the (hstress and suppression of the whole student hody. To pnne this let facts be sub- mitted to a candid world : — We liave been refused the use of the surrounding Country, whose Ijroad tiekls antl bright skies wcjuld bring us good health. ' idle Authorities have forbidden us to keep appointments of immediate and pressing importance, made with the opposite sex, unless the meeting is to be held in the reception room with a teacher as chaperon, and, when such has occurred, we have been utterly unable to attend to the pressing business. We have been refused large rooms for the holding of social functions, unless those people attending the gatherings would relinquish the right of representation co-sexual: a right inestimable to social lieings, and fcjrmitlable to children, only. We have been called together in class-rooms bare, uncomfortable, and distant from all inspiring atmosphere, for tiie sole purpose of fatiguing us liy learning things of no conseciuence w hatever. Midnight meetings ha ' e been dissolved repeatedly, during the wee hours of the night, on account of arousing teachers who are not able to sleep. We have been refused the use of the halls after ten o ' clock for the having of class rushes; and when the hall teachers, in- capable of preventing the aforesaid, have reported us to the head authority, we h.ave stood trembling, in fear of questions whose answers would e xpose us to dire punishments and shame. The instructors have endeavored to prevent the organizing of clubs and secret societies; for that jjurpose obstructing gatherings in certain rooms, refusing to countenance their organizations and assuring immediate disbanding of the same. They have obstructed the tendencies of human nature, 1)V refusing their consent to allow the young men and young women to walk to and from classes together and take twilight strolls across the campus. They are erecting a multitude of new buildings, and will send into them swarms of pupils to be packed away in the small rooms, and there digest knowledge at a ravenous pace. They have dropped in upon us, in times of revelry, with chilling words, without the consent of the re ' elers. They have affected to render our say uninfluential and worthless in unbearable grievances. They have combined with Mthers to sii ljject us to a iurisihctii n foreign t i all tliat is rigiit, an l nnatknnwleilged by any human laws ; giving their assent to acts (jf pretended justice : l (ir cutting off our trade with Tally ' s during study periods: ] ' ' or depriving us in many cases of needed nourishment obtained fri)ni Tally ' s du the sly: For transporting us to the h lysian b ' ields of writing in the Black Linnk for pretended offences; r- or taking awav iiur chafing dishes, thus aliolisliing inr s, ilo Impe of sur i al, and star ing fnndanientallx ' the whole student body : For suspending some I )f the heart-smitten members of our class on account if trying to assert their feelings, and ile- claring themselves onlv invested with such possibilities and the right to ha e any cases whatexer. They have given us unendable. unpenetrable, and unthinkable examinations : devastating our brains : destroying all hope of future genius: and finallv ilriving us to total insanity. The - are at this time contemijlati ng a new school code to complete more thoroughly the work of distraction, deso- lation, and tvrannv, already begun, with unreasonable re(|uirements f jr Physical Fitness examinations and the like scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unwrntliy the bead of a civilized school. They ha e allured our fellow classmates, taken in the bud of all their innocence, to assemble in one large class-room for instructions in Physical Culture, which is in reality Physical Torture. In every stage of these op]jressions we have asked for redress, in the most humble terms: our repeated tpiests have been answered only bv repeateil injury. A school whose character is thus marked b - so many faults and failings should at once go through a reformation. Nor have we been wanting in res])ect for our teachers. We ha e obeyed them, time after time, in matters that were not wholly to our liking. We have reminded them, also, of the reason of our coming here. We have appealed to their better sense and justice, and we have repeatedly requested them tr.om ]iure brotherly love to lessen the restrictions which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They, we are afraid. ha e been deaf to the voice of jus- tice and of 191 1. We must, tlierefi.ire, ac(|uiesce in the necessity which demands nur separation, and hold them as we hold all school in- structors, enemies while at school, out of school, friends. We. therefore, the members of the Senior class of the West Chester State Normal School, in one common accord, ap- pealing- to all that is right for the rectitude of our intentions, do in the name, and by the authority of 191 1. .solemnly state and declare that the members of this class are, and of ri ht ought to he graduated from this State Normal School, that we are free from all rule of the authorities here, and that all contentions or ill feelings between us and the ruling powers is. and ouoht to be totally vanished, and that as free, independent men and women we have full power to talk with whom we will, go wdiere we will, make friendships, even seek a home, and do all other things that we have ever wished to do here at school, but never been allowed. And for the support of this declaration, witli firm reliance on tiie report of theStateBoard of examiners, we finally declare to one and all, our independence, our teaching abilitv, and our due respect for all meml ers of the faculty.

On the horizon appeared tall, massive pillars, gleaming white against a dark background of trees. Something on the track caused our delay and troubled us lest dark- ness should fall before we could make our pilgrimage to the National Cemetery on the opposite bank of the Po- tomac from W ' ashingtrin. An elderly lady dressed in soft lavender, which hrcjught out the snowy whiteness of her hair, sat in front of us. Her eyes were fixed upon the hill of Arlington. Longingly and sadly did she gaze. Tears started to her eyes as she drew in her breath with a deep sigh. Thinking to free her from her dark thoughts, we timidly offered her a magazine. She turned. The tender sadness of her blue eyes and the (|uivering of her lips as she looked at us, commanded our sympathy and attention. Girls, w ould you like to hear a story connected with that house? came in soft, appealing tones. Was there ever a child, large or small, who did not love a story? I whispered, a love-story? The old lady ' s eyes twinkled as she nodded, yes. Then she began (we were f.rst held and delighton on by the melodious richness of her voice ): It was m March, in the year 1861, wdien Robert E. Lee returned to that mansion on the high bluff in the distance. When he would return home after a long absence, it seemed to him that each of his seven children had undergone some physical and mental change, 30 that it was necessary to get acquainted with them anew. Likewise to the children he was a wonderful person wdio could be terrible in war, and yet gentle and loving in his family circle. As was customary on large plantations, the doors were always open to guests. Never was hospitality lacking and visitors were delighted to bask in the bright warmth of this merry household. Lee ' s home-coming meant the arrival of many distinguished personages. On the 17th of April, a large assemblage took possession of the ancient halls. All was happy and gay within the main building. Just behind the mansion, tO(3, in the long, low negro |uarters, came sounds of ' the old banjo, accompanied l)y liilarious sounds of sweet, untrained voices. The eclio in the surrounding woods took u|) the strain, 207 until the whole place seemed ali e with song- and merriment. It was a glorious night, ' i ' he moon was clear and bright, and .sent playful lieams for a game of hide and seek in the newly awakened verdure. Near by in the underbrush, a bird sang in tiiken of his joyful return to his summer Imme. Later a girl and a man stood on the i)ortico. In front of them was the wide stretch of a park, which sloped gradually for a half mile, until it met the river, three hundred feet below. They were looking across the Potomac, who.se dark waters now suggested some hidden horror. Then their gaze rested on the large obelisk dazzling in the sihery light which stood as an advance guard, to the large white stone buildings beyond. The gaiety in the house, as in the servants ' quarters, seemed to have died awav. There was an ominous silence. The girl shuddered. The man noticed the tremor and his lips straight- ened in a determined line, while his eyes showed the reflection of an inward tire. He shaded them in his eagerness to scan the ( jpposite l)ank. ' Elaine, we are on the brink of a terriljle chasm. Some will go fruni this l)ank and others will leave from the opposite bank. The_ ' will meet in the hungry, angry flood below. It will not be the peaceful Potomac of to-night. l ut a stream of blood. Bnjthers, fathers, uncles and cousins niav be on opposite banks. This sea of blood will be the only means by which the curse upon this land will be wi])ed out. Now is the time when men must decide which side they think right. It is a matter of conscience, ' he said. ' My conscience leads me to my dear Southland: to the scenes and familiar faces that have made my life happy, to the institutions which Avere sacred to ni - ansectors. No matter wdiat may ha])pen, my heart is with the cause of the people on the southern bank of the Potomac, ' she said, w ith eyes flashing and a nerx ' ous gesture of her hands. ' But, Dick, nothing has been decided yel. e erytlhng is peaceful, the black clouds ma blow awaw ' Again she trembled as if the dami ness of the night were creeping into her bones. He encircled her with his arms, as if to shut out the cold and the gloom that c ppresse l them. For one brief moment all was forgotten except the personality and deep affection of one for the other. ' ' hate ' er happens, Elaine, remember I love you. ' The trembling of her heart and liody was answered by the quickening of his pulse. In animated tones he began again. ' There is only oue wa - out of this litticulty. — that is war. dark, dreadful war. Mv position is on the northern bank. My conscience says we must be one nation and not a number of small nations. read to flv at each others ' throats, and 208 an easy prey for the watchful, alerr European monarchies.

' . he hnike awav fmni his protecting- arms, an angry flush spread over her face, her lilue eyes grew black with wrath, her breath came in spasmodic gasps. ' Harriet Beecher Stowe s novel expresses only an accidental case. Then, too, if any State is aggrieved and its institutions molested, it is the right of that State to withdraw from that bmid of union, and set up a government fnr its own pnitectiim and welfare. ' Idiat nature says that all men are created ei|ual, ' is false. Never will all men be created equal. Some ha e wealth, social prestige, grace, beauty, brains and health, everything that ont desires, while others ha ' e po -erty, ignorance, social banishment, awkwardness, affliction and disease. Are they born equal? Of C ' lurse not I There are certain institutions which are made nur right by heredit - and the sanction of ciur noble ancestors. 1 he North has benefited by this obno.xious institution as much as the South. Would the South have been the large cotton-rais- ing section it is to-day if there had not been these persons who were adapted for the work? Would the North have lieen the large cotton manufacturing section, if it had not received the cotton from the South so easily and cheaply. ' . s she paused for breath she looked at his white drawn face, his tall form, which was straight and cold as the pillar by which he stood. He spoke slowly and deliberately. ' You would have a landed aristocracy, a caste .system, in this free country. It is wrong, we must not receixe such things bv birth. We must make i ur own name, show by our own s])eecli and actions what we are WMinh. and not dejiend upon the past glories of our ancestors. It is a time of the present. We must live ni , and not in the past. ' Her quick retort was : ' It is a s|)len lid thing to Ije born well. It is our first great asset in life. I am proud of the blood which flows through mv veins. M - ancestors were 1)ra -e soldiers as well as keen statesmen. I honor the institutions that were dear to them, anrl the people who fight against them fight against me, hence are my enemies. ' A sound struck their ears. It was the rhythmic beat of the horse ' s hoofs. Nearer and nearer approached the .sound, through the woods and now up the broad dri -e vay. Recognizing the man. the stranger whispered a few hurried words, and v,-as again engulfed in the darkness. The man turned to her saying: ' To-morrow will dawn on an openly divided nation. ' He took a step toward her, but .she shrank at his appioach. She gasped, ' Go, before I despise you! ' Drawing himself to his full height, his shoulders squared, his head high, he gazed at the glorious constellation. My clouded vision clear. Please God show me the right; Protect this one whom I hold dear, Though on her side I dare not fight. Then searching her face as he ha l tlie stars, h continued : Elaine, I love so well That neither tongue nor pen can tell How deep this well of love may go. But duty calls, dare I say no? Far more there is than love in life. When justice calls me to the strife. The girl remained passive as a statue. A whistle from the river warned him. With a mihtary flourish of his hat and a low bow, he dashed down the slope toward the river. An owl in the dark woods tooted a dismal prophecy. He reached the e( ge of the water and boarded his craft. Soon he was in the middle of the river of shimmering silver. He looked long and intently at the white columns bathed in the pale moonlight, but he failed to see the passionate, eager face of a girl liidden in the shadows. When the boat had disappeared, she slowly entered the house. The next day caused unusual e.xcitement at Arlington. Mr. V. P. Blair ])rought to Lee an offer of the command of the U. S. Armies. Elaine watched the proceedings with intense alarm. She was not the only one who had great interest in the decision of Robert E. Lee. It was no small care to Lincoln as well as to many Southern legislators. Between the i8th and 20th of April Lee had a touching scene with Scott, when he resigned the Colonelcy of the First U. S. Cavalry, which had been conferred upon him March i6th, 1861. Although he had set his slaves free, his conscience would not permit him to fight agamst his State and the people he loved so well. On .April 23rd he received the Major-Generalship of the Army of Vir- ginia. Then Arlington was seized by the North in order to protect the National CajiitoL Later in the war it was used as a National Cemetery. Here, as we are doing, th.ousands of persons come to honor the dead, and to inspire patriotism in the living, hor what nobler purpose could the mansion of this great man be used? It is a perpetual homage to his exemplary life. tio So interested were we in the iiarratixt- that we taileil tii mnicethat we had reached mir destinatiini, Silenth ' we wcn led _iiir wav thniugh the rows of gra es. hat a desulation and gi oin perxaded the deserted servants ' quarters and silent rooms. But the view across the Potomac was glorious, and was indeed as Lafayette had thought, the most Ijeautiful iew in the world. As we returned to the car, we saw our lady in lavender stooping over a grave. She drew back into the shadow as people passed. We observed lliat lier eyes were moist. C uld she be the repenting b ' laine who had come to isit the final resting place of her brave Richanl ? Our last sight of this wonderful i)lace was from Washington. The sun was setting and had left in its wake a glorious profusion of colors, which were fast blending, changing and melting one into the other. This mass of color hovered above the dark woodland surrounding the mansion. It was a fitting frame for the picture of this Grecian temple. The jiurple deepened into black night and folded from iew the heroes aslee]) on the bluff of Arlington. Our feeling of hero worship was satisfied, and we sighed contentedl_ -, . dieu.

Much anxiety has lit-en manifested during the day on account of the frequent recurrence f examination questions nn the blackboards (if the various class-rooms, notwithstanding the efficiency of our janitors, and to-night a heavy pall hangs over the buildine. But the indications are that this will gradually lie lifted as the (■xamiiiation papers arc rrtorneil. NEW DEPARTMENT ESTABLISHED SENIORS ANTICIPATE SCHOOL CODE STATE BOARD APPROACHES.- OF LEARNING. -REVIVAL Much apprehension is felt among the stu- dents as the ordeal of State Board looms he- fore them, and unprecedented efforts are be- ing made for a grand display of knowledge ' in the early days ' ' ' AGRICULTURE ADDED TO CURRICULUM. Dr. Schmucker Turns Over His Garden to Enthusiastic Class. Dr. Schmucker has been nuticing an in- creased verdance about his lawn and garden since the Seniors have been using them as school gardens — especially from 7.45 to 9.30 in the morning — which would seem to indi cate that much practical work is being done The zeal of the students, coupled with their abundant (?) knowledge, serves to keep him very busy directing operatiens. and we only hope his altruistic spirit will not be dampen- ed by disappointment when he comes to har- vest our crop. It is believed that this co- educational work along agricultural lines will be of great benefit to the future of the State — not only to institute practical instruction in the school, but also in the home — for many farmers ' wives are being germinated, and fair promise is given that at no distant day the Home Garden with its cabbages and turnips will t e as popular as the present golf- links, that anxious wooers will no longer be found in the parlor perusing post -card al- bums, but helping pick strawberries down by the garden gate. TESTS FOR LUNG-CAPACITY. Kxaminations are being made every Satur- day afternoon in the gymnasium or on Wayne Field. The students are reouired weekly to test their lung-capacity by giving the follow- ing exercises: — Boom a laca. Boom a laca. Bow! Wow! Wow I Chic a laca. Chic a laca. Chnw! Chow! Chowl Boom a laca.

In endeaviiring to show a use of the sub- .juiictive ninde the teacher asked why this sentence should be in the subjunctive: Would that I had a million dollars! The student seemed to see the point immediately and ex plained: Contrary to fact. One of the cone-problems was especial- ly hard and success would not come. We just reason in circles, ' ' said one youthful mathematician disconsolately to the other. After a moment ' s deliberation she replied gravely, Well, you see, it ' s a circular cone. LOST — FOUND.

Well, tliink a minute and see if you remember what K| happened nine years ago to-day in old West Chester Normal. Just contrast the two days. OyJ Xine years ago this morning we stood in a large congenial class, bound fast by ties of friend- ship and common interest. And, oh. how we hated to separate! To-day we are scattered in all directions, pursuing different lines of work and having dift ' erent interests. Thanks to Uncle Sam ' s efficient mail service, we are not quite isolated from all the friends of lyii. I have been somewhat interested in following out the different lines of work taken by dift ' erent mem- bers of the class, and unless you have changed since I saw you in camp. I am sure you will be interested, too. Speaking of camjj — I can hardly wait until time to go again. 1 think it was a bright idea that originated the 191 l Camping Club. It certainly seems like old times U spend those few weeks with the bunch of boys and g ' irls from school. But I started to tell you about some of the class gossip I have chanced upon. In looking over the morning paper I came upon the names of two of our class, one as a promising young surgeon and the other as a newly-electeil memjjer of the New York State Legislature. The surgeon was Homer W. Teamer, the fellow who used to play center on the basket-ljall team ; and the other was Arthur Adams. He evidently has lost none of his old-time popularity. ' The society notes fre(:|uently gi ' e the names of the girls wdio used to be Betty Holmes, Edna Foster and Gertrude Welsh. They are all young matrons i n society now. Just a short time ago I read of Edna ' s being a member of a box party at grand opera. The stars of the evening were Caruso II, who proved to be no other than our own Leon lanrer, and the Ijudding prima-donna, Mercy McGowan. Quite a number of the class have followed out their original plans of teaching. Anna Michener is 215 at the head of a very select school for girls, and Evelyn Saylcir, her chum at old Xornial, is still her close associate and fellow-worker. Last month ' s issue of The Amulet says under the Alumni Notes: Roger Hummel, of the class of 191 1, is teaching with great success in l enver, Colorado. ' Air. . lHson and Grace Kidney have gone back to West Chester, he as instructor in Chemistry, and she is Elementary Mathematics. I wonder if Mr. . llison is still Dad to the hoy there now. I learned through Sophia Greenburg, who is secretary at the Law ScIukiI. L ' niversity of Pennsyl- vania, that Toe Ouig is now Prof. Joseph B. Quig, instructor in history at Lafayette, and Edgar Bye is Professor of Modern Languages at Haverford. Hugh Denworth has recently been chosen president of Girard College to succeed Pres. Cheesman A. Herrick. He surely has a great institution under his care. . short time ago 1 went o er to New N ' ork to attend a l)ani|uet at Teachers ' College. During the course of the evening, I met the head of the Department of Physical Training. It cau.sed considerable merriment when they went to introduce us, for the exclamation, Well, Peg Alorrison, I didn ' t expect to see you here, proved that no introduction was necessary. Elma Mill has been very successful in man- aging a large kindergarten in I ' ieading. Jessie Swynielar conducts a select dancing school on Chestnut street, here in the city. Do you remember John Tavlor? We used to call him Johnny-on-the-spot at the basket-l all game.s. Well, while not e.vactly teaching, he is carrying out the same idea, for this last annual confer- ence ordained him as a Methodist minister. And Phoebe Smith has been in South . merica as a mis- sionary for about a year now. The medical profession seems to have claimed several of the class. Frank Hartung ' s name appears among the medical graduates from Johns Hopkins University, and a letter from Helen McFee says that Louis I osser is gaining quite a reputation and practice as a physician in his own city. Muriel Stevens recently received her diploma from the Woman ' s Medical College, too. In looking through a scientific magazine for material for some of my own classes. I found a splendid article by the liotanist, Harrison Arnold. You know he had more botany specimens than any one else in the school, nine long years ago. Roy Diem has become (|uiet a literary critic. The Literary Digest fre- quently contains articles written by him on The I-atest Productions in Literature. Irene Childrey is 216 a jijunialist of some note, too. and I tcunid a cry pretty little poem by Lucelhi Drake in the last issue of the Saluniax Eirniitj Posl. Some of the .trirN have evidently develo])ed the talent displayed at school I met Bess Chambers the other day on her way to the home of the tjirl whn used Ui be Marie Wanner. Slie was going to entertain at dinner that evening in hiinur of the poetess, Ellen Morris. Elmer Fickes is still debating. He has l)econie a |)rominent lawyer, having won several important cases. His chum, Charles Hollenbach, President of 191 i, is now an artist of some repute. One of his profhictions received a medal at tlie - rt Exhibition in Xcw York this spring. Beatrice Minnick has some cry clever sketches in some of the leading magazines, and Jessie Dunwoody is one of the instructors in . rt at Ir ing College. You remember how well Betty Robinson and Marie Lambert useel to play the xidlin and ])iano to- gether? Well, Betty is now first violinist in a concert company bureau, and Marie is an instructor in the Broad Street Conservatory of Music. When we were in school I tin night Mabel Yearsley would teach either music m- drawing, but she has married a minister instead. I think she is ery well fitted for the position, for she was always active in the ' . . C . . . work and a verv good girl while at school. The last I heard of Jessie .Anderson, she ha l gone in company with Janet fait t(i Scotland, Jessie to visit relatives and Janet to see her birthplace. . nd yt)u could guess what Naomi Geesev is fining — managing a poultry farm. She used to say she was going to be a nurse, and she knew so much of do- mestic science, we thought that would surely he her work, but here she is making a success at raising chickens. I sujipose it is needless to say that most of the girls 1 ha e nut mentioned are enjoying double team work. Jane Detwiler makes the happiest little wife you could imagine on a splendid big farm about forty miles from this city. Warren Smith has at last realized his dreams of the West. .Adeline Lar- zelere, the class secretary, Anna McCay, Helen McEain, Edna Attix and lively Georgine Murphy have all changed their names and gone into homes of their own this spring. But I am sure you are weary of this, although one does like to hear of old friends. Any news that hasn ' t been written will have to keep until we get to camp. Sincerely yours, One of the Cl. ss of igri. The Health Club (?)
