Both girls were seen clambening down over the jagged edges. As Mary stepped to a lower led'ge, she caught her feet in. a. crevice 0f the rocks and fell with Some force. She was up instantly, but a sharp pain, in the ankle she had twisted made her sink back to the rocks. iTve wrenched my ankle? she gasped. iiShall I help you ?ll a'SLk'ed Ruth, anxiously. ttNlo, it will soon step paining me. G0! on to the cave, or the tide will turn and you cant get down. If I sit still, my ankle will be all right, Mary assured her. Ruth loolked dubious, but at length decided that Mary might safely be left, and crept carefully down the uneven rock ridge to the spur which. jutted out over the floor of the cave. From this spur she let herself down, and walked back into the little cave. The walls and reef were dripping with moisture, and covered 'in many places with. seaweed. Ruth. went down on her knees, regard- less of the dampness, and began. looking for agates. She soon found some of the unusual ones. for which. she was searching, and was instantly absorbed in her task. The surf thundered en the reef and r'e-echoed in the cave with a dull meaning sound. which would have alarmed a girl less brave than Ruth. The sound drowned Maryts voice, as. she called to Ruth, haming become alarmed at the length. of her absence.

W ild'ly Mary called, and as she did so, Ruth came in sight. A glance showed her the danger she must face. tTll have to climb up here, she called, indicating the spur above. ttYou cant! screamed Mary. Before she tried, however, she tossed up to- the ledge on which Mary lay the bag in which she had placed her agate'ss. Then in vain she tried to! regain the spur from which she had dropped . t0 the floor of the cave. The under surface of the rock was slippery with seaweed, and she could not pull herself up high . enough to: gain a secure footing or reach a hold for her hands. The waves: were breaking over the end of the ledge, and the side of it was steep and 'slimy. She tried to climb up nearer the end, but slipped and fell.

It is a brick structure, lBy BESSIE BAYSJ With two. stories and an. attic, and was erected by some of the early citizens of the place as a training school for teachers. ,1 At the time Of my lstOiryf the attic, was seldom visited, but those who clamber'ed up. there, when the weather was. fair and settled, could overlook all the surrounding neighborhood. Near this. building, and in this same village, there lived, many years since, a young girl by the name of Gertrude Ro-hr, a student Vonf the Normal. She was a simple, good-natured girl, a kind classmate and a great favorite among all the other students. She assisted them bat their sports, made up good excuses for them when they wished to miss class and told them long stories of ghosts, witches and. goblins. On a fine, sunny afternoon, she could frequently be seen on the campus, surrounded by a group of students, ready to. listen to some story she had heard or imagined. The great error 01 G-eartrudel's composition was an. insuper'able aversion to all kinds of study. She was the foremost girl in all school frolics, but as to getting her lessons she found it im- possible. Her instructor's kept continually dinning in her ears about her idleness, her carelessness and the ttMinus C,s she was W1 getting in every test. One day, after an unusually poor lesson in Technical English, Gertrude was neudluced almost to despair, and to escape her in- structors and sympathizing classmates, gathered her Carsonls H and Book up and started for the attic, determined to conquer , the mysteries of Carsonian:ism. On reaching the attic, she threw herself panting and fatigued 0n the sofa in the Y. W . C. A. room and seen fell asleep. . . She had not been sleeping long when she heard a vome saylng, llGertrude!

Gertrude was somewhat frightenedt, but deCIded to obey this injunction; but, as she was groping 1n the da:I:'knze-ss, trymg to follow the mysterious, figure, she felt herself golng down, down, down, until she crushed her head on the stone walk below and knew no more. On awakening, she found herself in a strange room. She rubbed her eyes. It was a bright, sunny morning. There was a great noise from the street, as of busy bustling and hurrying of many feet on stone pavements and a clang of numerous. street cars. tSurely? thought Gertrude, tTm not dreaming. She re- called the occurrences. before she fell asleep. ttOh! my lessons ! exclaimed poor Gertrude. ttWhat excuse shall I make to the faculty ?,t She looked around for her Carson?s Hand Book, but it was gone. She now hastened to leave the room, which. had the appear- ance of a large hospital. With feeble and faltering steps She reached the street. Here poor Gertrude was brought to a stand- The little Village seemed to! have changed into a. mass of magnify eient buildings, dotted with various signs of life that we're un- familiar to her. n sip: ?Ii-T Wt 4.. d 315.; hi; THIRTY-THREE THE NORM W . . dig?

Gertrude was sorely perplexed; but, seeing a long line of maple trees, she determined to find if they led to! the Normal. . At length she reached the place, but the old red brick building was so changed! It was not longer brick, but concrete, and over the beautiful Gothic entrance was engraved, ttOr'ego-n Normal School 193035 Across the street was an immense building, and over the front entrance Gertrude read: iiNvormal Training School. - She glanced down the street and discovered'that'ishe . 11? ; f. had passed, unnoticed, an elegant building which she now learned W Was the iiAdministr'atioln Building?

She had no courage to ask after any move friends, but cried out :in despair, iiDo you not know Gertrude RohrP, Gertrude Rohr! exclaimed the president. iiOh, to be sure! She attended school here about twenty years ago. One morning she was found unconscious on the pavement, where: she had fallen from the attic window of the old Normal building. She was. taken to Europe to specialists, but her mind still remains a. blank. Not long ago they brought her home, and Professor Evenden, the great psychologist, is going to perform an operation. upon her today. At this critical moment Mary Kelly entered the door, breath- less from running. iiOh, Gertrude, you are safe! How frightened we have been ! The tone of the voice awakened a train of recollections in Ger- trudes mind.Sure1y this was her old school friend, but how changed. It was with extreme difficulty that she was made to understand that it had been twenty years since she had fallen from the attic window and at 1ast,after a successful operation performed by Professor Evenden, her memory had returned.

That morning When J ennie had expressed a desire to go hunt- 'ing with them, they had given her an old gun Wlth one hammer broken off and had placed her on a stand Where they expected no ducks to 11y.

She even openly boasted of her exploits, tho she was cautioned to be careful of What she said and to Whom she said it, for she had hunted Without a license. t $ $ :1: 3k 9? ttHow about this, J ennie?

She was the youngest member of the family and had always. had things. very much her own way. In any dis- pute or controversy she seldom gave in. Defeat was practically unknown to her. If anyone ever dared to play a prank on her, he usually got it back with compound interest.

If there Was any change 'in James feelings, he seemed to admire J ennie even more than before. - ' ' tiWel'l, J ennie, how does it feel to be arrested ? That was what she heard shortly after arriving at the ballroom. Somehow, the matter had not been kept quiet after all. Several times that evening she was questioned about the affair. In reply she only smiled. But all the while her mind was active. She was thinking.- planning. The end was not yet. ' . On arriving home that evening the truth was revealed to her The Whole thing was a j oke. Vic had arranged it all With the a constable. , mm 5' mam! J ennie, of course, was very much relieved.

Some of you, perhaps, have wished that you might be given a message to take to Garcia. Your Wish is now ful- iilled. You are given a message. You are to deliver it to the Garcias among the boys and girls of the schools of Oregon. This message is to put them on the road to better thots and better thinking ; to prepare them for the messages that they are later THE NORM FORTY-Two e i to delive're-to be better home buildensp-bettetr .mothers and 1' fathers--better citizens. There are plenty of Garcias. You have the message. The l '- State has appropriated money to induce competent men and women -' to come here from all points of the compass. These men and women have labored faithfully to put you into possesslon of the missive. Now you have it. You are tO go forward. You are to to 9 find the Garcias. We are to have better homes; we are to. have better schools; - . we are to have better oitizens; We are to have a better state. i! all this we are to have because we are sending you forth from 3 this school.

But thru it all, remember that the Oregon N ormal School is. back of you,ealways ready and willing to help you. But above all re- member; the Oregon N ormal School expects. you to make good. LET US SEE THE LEGISLATURE. Now that the Legislature is in session and since we are so mearreneamer than many of us will be again for some timee would it not- pay us to close the school for one day, and pay. that dignified and much-talked-of body a Visit? Surely it would be a day well spent. To most of us :it would be a day long to be remembered. To many of us it would be a revelation. We have 1 heard and read much. about it ; but to some of us it is. as. remote as the stars. To see it in its. actual working order would make. it clear and simple to understand,-that is, apparently. How much easier and more interesting it would then. be to teach to: a ' class. of pupils. - Speoial rates could be secured and! the cost would be very slight. Then, after returning, to make: the matter more impress- sive and real and interesting, we could organize a legislature of our own among the students. This is an excellent opportunity to i arouse interest and. for a little drill in civics. THE BULLETIN BOARD.

Did it ever occur to, you. that a daily newspaper would soon fall into disrepute if it did not put on a better front than is seen on our bulletin board? Did it ever occur to you that the bulletin board in the hall- is our daily newspaper within the school? Did it ever Occur to- you. that we might make it serve its purpose better, appear better and be more useful in every way by. being a little more systematic in .its. use? Did it ever occur to you that this might be accomplished by having a pension ap- poeinted: whose duty it should be to! look after the bulletin board, to see. that all notices are neatly written on. uniform paper and neatly arranged, and to see that they are removed as soon as the purpose has been served? a . The N 072m moves that a better board be. provided and that. a bulletin editor be appointed to have charge of same. Will some- body second the motion? THE RECALL. A couple of months ago a plaintiff in a. court in Portland was awardedgdamages in the amount of three or four thousand dollars. The attorney. for the defense stated that it was a holdup: the judge immediately added! a few thousand ' to the amount of . the damages. The attorney again began to. protest, and the judge added another few thousand to. the amount. And yet there are persons who: say that the recall should not apply to. judges. A few weeks ago a newspaper in Idaho commented on a certain 'deciSion 0f the Supreme Court of that state. The publisher, the manager and a stockholder of the paper were imprisoned and fined five hundred dollars each, without trial by jury and without recourse to appeal. And. yet there are persons who say the recall should not apply to judges. BAD SPELLING. Incorrect spelling is a7 bad habit. At any rate, it cannot be said to be a good habit. It gives the reader an unfavorable im- pression of the writer. Many an applicant, strong otherwise, has failed to. get an appointmentr-though he never knew why,- because of one 011'. two misspelled words. Yet, many of us are careless in this respect. Evidence of this statement may .be found in the notebooks and examination. papers of almost any school.

What our 'part may signify in the great whole we may not understand; but we are here to play it, and now is our time. This we know: It is a part of action, not of whining. It is a part of love, hot cynicism. It is for its to express love in terms of human helpfulness. This we know, for we have learned from sad experience that any other course of life leads toward decay and waste. MYRA H. BUTLER. TO SLEEP WELL.

JAMESJ SCHOOL GARDENING. In school gardening the: teacher must recognize the fact that the point of View for city children must be different from that of country children. The children of the rural districts are, as a rule, familiar With the fundamental operations of the garden. To attempt, therefore, to! maintain the ordinary type of individual vegetable and flower gardens upon, the grounds of rural schools Would be an. unwise expenditure of time. For city children, however, the application of the simple opera- tions involved in the maintenance. of the individual garden con- taining flowers and vegetables is. most important, since they have no other means of gaining this knowledge. The plan of procedure, therefore, for the teachers in. rural districts should; be quite differ- ent from that followed by those in urban communities. a The teacher :in the rural schools. Will find a moist fruitful held along the lines of laboratory experiments, Which will demonstrate the principles of plant growth, and of plant nutrition, methods of propagation, etc. Instead of the ordinary miniature flower or vegetable garden, it might be better to secure different varieties of grains and grasses for test upon home: plots, encourage pupils to undertake small experiments. which shall have for their chief end the development of the faculties of observation. Many teachers who. go into: the: rural districts plunge into this work of school gardening Without any thought Whatever as to: the 5 needs of the community along this line: and Without carefully con- sidering their possibilities of success. ' The inevitable result of this 5 1s a failure, and both the teacher and school gardening are scoffed at. No teacher should ever attempt more than she can do: and do well, 1n. gardenlng. A most successful garden may consist of a few square feet of good soil, used as a plot for germination, seed testing, identliieatlon of young plants, etc. Indeed, very successful school gardenlng may be carried on by means of Window boxes. . Exeept 1n the elty, the best use of the school garden is an incentive and a gulde to pupils in home gardening. If the childis inetel-Ie'flsfti1 gs; aroused he Will take pleasure in applying the: principles School gardening When prxoper'l . , i . :, y conducted, both enriches the . education 0f the 131113115 and keeps the teacher closer to: the true , principle of his work.

It is a frightful sight to see hundreds of 'tubrercular' children min :5 13., maps on playgrounds situated in the poor quarters of a city. Reports um 3;, 'mwt: tell us that nearly 6 per cent of all the children in New York 31'? Wrap t are suffering from the disease; 27.5 per cent of all the Boston children. Thus it is Ie'videntthat the playground, by allowing the child to breathe the open air for a few hours daily, does. much toward guarding against the inroads of disease, especially against the inroads of tuberculosis. The playground is often spoken of as- a necessary accompani- '7! . ment to the child labor restriction laws, writes a playground ,.

The progress. of the Playground Movement is Wonderful and is. still only in, its infancy. i The Playground Association Books of America tell us the . following facts: In 1912 reports were received from 250 cities. These 250 citied maintained 1000 grounds, employed 4,000 men and women exclusive of caretakers, and expended $2,000,000. In 1910 80 cities. had associations. In 1911 1501 cities had associations, showing an increase of nearly 100 per cent in one year. The grounds are becoming more and more eiiicient, and I venture to. say that if the progress is as great in the coming five years as it has been in the past five, every city in the United States Will be well furnished with play space for their children, v Miss Parrott .ttezlling of the modern drama. in J apam : iiImag- ine Hamlet,- in giving his famous stoliloquy, coming in. on a bicycle With striped stockings !

The excitement over the new boy has subsided since we learned that he will not enroll until February. All students Were nluch gratified to find on their departure for the ChriStmas vacation that the railroad commissioners? prom- isle had materialized, and tickets to all A points in Oregon were on sale. Under the direction of Miss Elva Boone, who was a student here last year and? who is now teaching, the pupils of the Elk'ins school gave an excellent prognam December 20.' The exercises were very well attended. Among the students who were unable to: return after vacation are: Miss Myrtle Cooley, who is ill at Roseburg; Miss Lela Parks, whose mother is seriously ill; Miss Flora Gilliland, whose father has been seriously injured. . Contractor D. Wayman of Portland, with his force of about twenty men, is making good progress on the dormitory. The i brick work, which is so well done, is practically completed, and the other work is keeping pace with it. The contract has been let for the central heating plant and laundry. With the erection of the new building on the campus, the Board of Regents has taken up the plan of improving the campus. With this in View, a survey of the grounds has been made and the plans are in. the hands. of persons. at O. A. 0., who are experts in this line, and we are anxiously awaiting the outcome of this much needed improvement. ' After much debate the Student Body accepted an amendment to the present constitution, changing the method of electing the ofIicers to the present Oregon system. This is a very practical step, as the teaeher Who goes out to! teach civics and the new voter who goes. to the ballot box will have had practice in this work. 5 MUCh interest iS being shown and the campaignwill prove a warm one. . .0 hm!

OnyDecember :20, after the regular chapel exercises, the chil- dren of the training department gave a Chrismas cantata, ttThe 3 Frost King? The children did wonderfully well and the play was thoroughly enj oyed by all who were present. Each student was , presented with a sprig of holly and a card on which was printed ' a Christmas message from our president. Among the social activities of the Christmas Vacation was a watch party at Miss Har'latnhs, on New Years Eve, The members of the Faculty and the students who were in town attended the where they were received by Miss. Harlan. The evening was spent in dancing and games. Several musical numbers were given and refreshments served. Miss Fridd and Miss Davis Spent the vacation in California. Mists Davis returned in time: for the Teachers, Association at Portland. Miss Fridd reached Monmouth Sunday afternoon. Miss Parrott spent most of her vacation at her home in Rolsteburg. The members. of the Faculty whose- homes are in Monmouth were in town most of the vacation. Miss, Butler, Miss Todd and Miss Wilcox went to Seattle. ' The Student Body and the Faculty of the O. N.

On December 16 she lectured in. chapel on i -vs;ma: wii the art of story telling. Mrs. Scott says that, to! tell a story well, one must not only love it, but must live with it until it becomes a ' part of ones self. In the afternoon she told a number of stories, illustrating the principles she had. given. Among the stories, was that of itTTh-e Other Wise Mani, i All were told in Mrs. Scottis own, graceful, inimitable manner. The Student Body election was held Monday, J anuary 20. This is thought to be the first time any such. body has held'. its election according to the state laws. The week following the filing of the petitions was marked by some very active campaigning by the Supporters of the candidates for president.

The many friends of Ruby E. Shearer, in various parts of the state, will be interested in knowing that she has severed her con- nection with the Training Department of the Oregon Normalr School. ' Miss Shearer enrolled here as a student in 1905, having been- graduated that year from the Lincoln High School in Port- land. After two years. in the Normal, she took her degree and began her work here as critic teacher, having fitted herself espe-s cially for primary work. She remained in this position until the school was closed in 1909, when she went to the city schools of Portland, returning again to resume: her place in the training of teachers for primary work upon the permanent opening of the Normal. Since her graduation, she has. been almost continuously teaching, utilizing her vacation time for summer school and insti- , tute work, being employed in this capacity in the,University of Oregon for one summer session. Miss Shearer has left a. deep impress upon the public school in the primary field. While a school publication, then called The The Norm. She has and has. been one of it able suggestions.

We congratulate ourselves upon having such good school papers in our librmary We hope that during the rest of the year our exchanges will increase in number. It is. With gre-at pleasure that we acknowledge. the following . papers Hesperiah, from the Oregon. City High School; St. Helens, from Po-rtla.,11d Oregon; Messengea from Bellingham,Washi11gu ton; Orderly, from Hill Military Academy, Portland, Oregon; Crescent, from Pacific College; Kihm'hz'mch, from Cheney, Wash- . a ingtoIn; Chimes, from Philomath, Oregon; The Crucible, from Greeley, Colorado ;Pacific Stanza, from Mt.

Some we found rather weak in certain departments, but no doubt they are working hardest there in order to strengthen it. Cuts always improve a paper. Original work adds greatly to the in- terest. The high school papers show good work; if they keep up their standard, their papers will lead. We Wish, for all our exchanges a most prosperous and pleasant ' year The November issue of the Kihhihim'ch is a very newsyii school paper.

Dear Sir: I received a copy of, The Norm today and in looking over it I see that Burton is. looking for excitement. NOW has the old school lost all its ambition 01' What? I mean as regards the enter- tainment. of its members. It seems too bad to think it has, for as a. student I remember we had such good times. 4 Here are a, few hints to those WhO' want excitement: . Have a good olld-fashioned chicken feed. Ask the old res1- dents Who furnished the chickensr-they can tell you. Steal the Y. W. C. A. candy. Tha.t,s good sport.

Why do YOU take yourself so seriously? Happiness. is just a habit-cultivate the habit. There is many a dead one who! does the undertaker no good. The man who never made a mistake never made anything. Money is a splendid substitute for brains. in some cases. Smile! Be happy! A grin is worth a hundred sighs on any market. . Dontt brag about yourself. Jolly others into doing it for you. Did it ever occur to you that most of your mistakes are self made.- If we could see ourselves as others see usewe wouldnt be-. lieve it. Never forget that it pays to be politeeeven if you dont mean it. Being in doubt is just like being in deep Vwaterekeep your mouth shut. . What would The N own be if everyone took just the interest in it that you do? With the possible exception of her tongue a woman can usually hold her own. People with lots of determination are likely to be unpopular eand successful. In the little matter of making fools, prosperity can put it all over adversity. When a man starts. down in the world everything seems greased for the occasion. Bear this in mind: Many a person is friendless because he is too popular with himself. Every time a girl sees a handsome young man she wonders whose. sweetheart he is. . One way for a man. to: find out just what a woman really thinks of him is to: make her' angry. The saddest thing we ever saw was a fat man tryiiig to look cute and' the funniest thing was a fat girl on a little piano stool. l THE N ORM Mother Goosicles Up to Date EIGHTY-TWO.
