Students were gathered in twos and threes over ' mill: 9 B the campus, talking about the ceremonies of the i an - preceding day. The excitement had not en- t ; tirely subsided; every one felt a little bit tired. t hulk Something seemed to push me forward-no, something light 6.

Somehow I couldn't help feeling sorry for him, be- cause he had not seen our beautiful May Queen and the delightful ceremonies and sports of the day before. Again I felt the same strange spell. I could go no farther, so I sat down by the old tree. As I gazed into the strong green branches so far above me, they seemed to nod and bow ,in a most confidential manner. 'Don't pity us, they said. i'We are so contented now. See our new green tassels we've just hung out! All the other trees in this row have so much work to do. We have to protect the other . trees of the grove. Even if we can't see, all the others see we love to help them. ' Indeed, I felt this was true, for just then each bow seemed to say with a gentle rustle: , i'This is my work, my blessing, not my doom. The Old Tree continued, 'The wind does blow and the storms beat hard, but someone must be on the outside row. You should consider the advantages of this position. We get the sunrise first and likewise enjoy the sunset longest. And, oh, the little stray sunbeams and fragrant breezes which come to us, that the other trees know nothing about. The birds love to build their nests in our branches, because they sway and rock so gently. But it doesn't matter so much which row you are in, if you can j ust re- member: , . 'The world is full of roses, And the roses full of dew, , And the dew is full of heavenly Love that drips for me and you. a. My eye wanderedlfrom row to row as I thought of what the Old Tree had said. Yes, the trees were located very much as our positions would be. Some, those near the tennis courts and other favorable locations, were like the schools in the larger towns and cities. I wandered how many of us had considered the advantages of being on the outside of the grove. As I looked at: the trees nearest the Normal Building, I noticed the campus was deserted-Aevery one had gone to lunch; When I rose to go I couldn't resist giving the Old Tree an affectionate pat as I said, nWell, if I have to teach on the 'Outside Rowf more's mine. And I'll think of. you, dear Old Tree, whenever I'm lonesome or dis- couraged. JO w; in! W W. we! 1 r.- n mm; 5 4 '1 ill :x' W. n;- 1'1 1h norm- .3 '11 1W3 :1. , 1 3 ??mm In A EH.

The child- K K9 ren were more than usually restless and un- manageable, but four otclock came at last and, With whoops of joy, the unruly youngsters raced from'the building. The teacher breathed a sigh of relief, and settled back in her chair for a min- . ute,s rest before beginning her nightly round of duties; The Lizard Flat School'of Podunk county did not boast of' a janitor. I ttWhat do you suppose we pay a teacher fifty-five dollars a month for anyway? . To set in an easy chair and hear lessons from nine till four? P11 tell you the rest of us work for all we get and therets not any sense in hiring a janitor to split a few kind- lings? That was What one 'of the directors had said when ap- proached on the subject, so the matter had dropped. Miss Smith rose wearily, swept the floor, put the room in order, split some kindlings and wrote her assignments on the board. At last the Work was all done, and, pinning on her hat, she started toward her boarding place. It was getting cooler now, and when she reached the strip of woods that separated her from her destination she sat-down on a log to rest. She imagined even at that distance that she could hear the screaming and quarreling of the children, and the scolding voice of her landlady. Tonight, more than ever, she shrank from the disagreeableness of it all, and leaning her head on her hand, she began to think. Just nineteen 'years ago today she had been graduated from the Oregon Normal School. She remembered now her pride in her diploma, her faith in her chosen profession and her high hopes for the future. Time had wrought many changes since then. There had been years of plenty, it was true, but now it, seemed as though the years of famine had come. TWELVE THE NORM ' Her motherls illness had taken almost all of her savings and at her death, Miss Smith had found herself ill and nervous. Va- cations were endless stretches of time and she felt that she was an unwelcome Visitor in the homes of her married brother and sisters, although she had tmed to bridge the gap between them and had worked harder than she was able. Finally, the day came when the City superintendent had told her that her services would not be needed the next year. They Wanted younger teachers, he said, with mOre health and Vigor. That had been a year ago, and now as she sat thinking there ' came to her mind a sentence, tiYou have great hopes now, but if you could only meet yourself. as you will be at forty you would stop to think. Mr. Gentle had spoken with the assumption that they were all twenty. She had, been twenty then. It seemed even now she could'vhear that kind voice, half earnest, half serious, as he talked that morning to his class. She had laughed then, but how different things looked now! Here she was, teaching school in an out of the way district for fifty- fiVe dollars a month and in another year she would meet herself at forty. Startled by the gathering darkness, she arose and hurried homeWard. At the door her landlady met her with, tiWell, this is a pretty time to be getting in to supper. Things have been cold for an hour. iTm not hungry, thank you, she answered, and slipped up stairs to be by herself. The little room with its wooden bed stead and tin wash pan set on a soap box Seemedshabbier than ever. She put up her one window and, drawing up a chair, leanied her head on the window sill. Out in the yard, the daughter of the household was entertaining company? The voices floated. up and, in. spite of her self, Miss Smith found herself listening. iinee ! Pm weary tonight.

Through these two years we have spent here, we have seen our' sister classes'leave tokens of love to their Alma Mater. We have been looking forward with pleasure tothe time when , we might have the privilege of showing our ap- ' preciation for the many benefits we have received. We have enjoyed this period of growth and development and as we begin our life of service, it is our wish to make :it posSible for others to enjoy like privileges. In order to make this possible we have decided to give a sum of money to the Student Loan Fund which Will insure to other students the same opportunities which we have enj oyed.

Dainty Sue Vernon stood looking down the corridor after the timid little girl whom the matron was ushering to a room. What do you suppose they let her come here for ? Pm sure I donit knowii responded her chum, iiBut I suppose her money is as good as anyoneis. iiPerhaps so, but there are other things that count at Greyson Hall besides being able to pay your board, and Miss Masters will Ma? KJ'INPi ,soon find out that oil and water wonit miX. Well, talking wonit help matters. Come on, Helen, taking her chum by the arm, tlet,s go down town before dinner. In room sixty-five, the innocent cause of all this discussion was quietly putting her things in order, stopping now and then, with a little sigh to look out of the .window, over the town and the meadows, to the hills beyond. Ever since her mother had died, ten years before, Merl Grey had lived in large, old-fashioned, country house with an eccentric maiden aunt. There had been but few Visitors and the two had seldom gone out even to call upon their neighbors. Naturally quiet and reserved, in this re- tired life, Merl had become even more shy and serious, but when she reached the age'of twenty, she had expressed a desire to go away to school. At first, her aunt had objected, but at last, yield- ing to the girls pleading, she had consented. Merl had been very happy in the thought of going to the Academy, for surely, in that larger world, she would find someone who thought and dreamed and felt as she did. But now that she was in Greyson Hall everything seemed so strange and the girls did not seem friendly. When the bell rang for dinner she hesitated to go down, but THE NORM 61 O thatis the new girl, is it? Did you ever see such , THE N ORM FORTY summoning all her courage she walked bravely into the dining hall. When that first meal was over she drew a sigh of relief for in the gay chatting and laughter, she had felt strangely out of plaoe, and she did present a contrast to the girls in their ,pretty stylish dresses, who were gathered about the tabltesf Her maiden aunt did not believe in following the caprices of fashion and had very rigid ideas about. the attire of a young girl. MerPs hair was neith- er crimped nor fluffed but was brushed to satin smoothness and confined to tight braids, wound about her well shaped head. Her dresses, although extremely neat were those of a girl of ten or fifteen years ago. ' The next few weeks were lonely ones for the timid girl. She had tried to make friends with the girls, but, although a few had been kind in a condescending way, none had shown any real friend- liness. Often she had wished herself back at home with her old tutor, but, not for worlds, would she have suggested to her aunt that she was not satisfied. It seemed to her that the climax had come when one evening late in April she had attended a concert at the church. Helen Bradford sang. N ever had she looked more beautiful or sang more sweetly. To Merl she seemed almost a ' goddess. She tried to express her appreciation of the song after- ward but had been met with a cold, tiThank you? and left stand; ing alone. That night she had cried herself to sleep. She almost resolved to go back home and to give up all her cherished plans. The night before May Day was a busy one at Greyson Hall for it was a custom among the girls to hang May baskets at the doors of their friends. In Helen Bradford,s room, two baskets were in progress. One was a dainty white affair filled with roses, in the center of which was tucked a box containing a beautiful ring, for the next day was Sue Vernonls birthday. The other was merely a paper sack holding a few withered leaves. iTm going to hang that on Merl Greyls door? Helen said to herself, itjust to show her what we think of her? J ust then the lights flashed and Helen slipped out to hang her basket before they should be turned on again. 7 ilHow strange? thought Helen the next day, tlSue has not said a word about the ring.

ONE hot summer afternoon a man with a slouch hat and ragged clothes was walking up the road. He saw a farmhouse ahead and said to himself. iiI wonder if this diggins is as tight as all the rest of the places around here. . Here goes for a try for something to chew. When he reached the yard gate he asked, i Lady, can you give me something to eat. 9 ' The woman hesitated a moment then said, iiSit down and we will see what can be done for you. J ust then the men came in from the field and Mrs. Fletcher told her husband about the tramp. He agreed with her that it would be well to feed him. So after supper was announced and the family was at the table the tramp, whom I shall call John White, was taken a large plateful of food iiThis chewing beats anything Iive had for a month of Sun- days, ii said White. iiGlad I spunked up and invited the dame to give me a party. ii Before White had finished his meal, the men came out and stopped to speak to him. At first they discussed the present crop but the conversation drifted from one topic to another itill finally White was led to tell the story of why he be- came a tramp. This is his story: i i iiWhen I was a kid, about Six years old; my mother died. and I was left for the old man to take care of. He was kind enough, but he had a fierce temper and the least thing I did would rile , y him so that he wouldbeat me until I stood up for meals for a week. . a One day he gave me a whaler. I was sixteen, and decided then and there to beat it, so I wadded up' a few clothes in a bundle and started out. I didnit know where I was going to or what I was going to do when I got there, but I had not gone very far until :g'f E .j C I 314M ' I :er Ni V 9,3131; W 3.33! v!

Heaps of folks live by tramping; and I can too; I can anyway see lots of country. I dont know what else to do and PH try it? I started out, and tramp, it has been ever since? ttDo you know where your father is now ?ii one of the men asked the tramp. - o - itNo, I ainit heard from him since that day I beat it? .As the conversation drifted from one topic to another, Mr. Fletcher became very much interested in John and at last asked him if he would help him with his harvesting the following day, since one of his men had taken ill and would be unable to help. The tramp was silent for several minutes but thoughts of the bountiful supper and pleasant evening he was having came to him. At last he said, iTll try, if you donit expect too much, for I ainit. . never done much work. This willing reply pleased Mr. Fletcher for he was in need of a hand badly. When bed time came the tramp was allowed to sleep in the 'barn, at his request. Bright and early the next morning John White was up ready for work. He was put to shocking grain. Several times that day he wished he was on the road tramping, then, suddenly he would think of the hospitality he had received at this home, and struggled through till the end of the day. Mr. Fletcher was not a little surprised to find his new employee still with him at the close of the day. . When night came Mr. Fletcher asked John if he would work for him the rest of the summer. J ohn gladly accepted this offer in spite of the hard work he would have to do, for he was becom- ing very much attached to this comfortable home. So all the re- mainder of that summer he worked hard and earnestly on the farm. . , Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher had two children: a daughter, Metta, and a son, Carl. Both were high school graduates and both were planning to enter college the following year. JOhn learned a great deal from these two children. Often in the evenings he would hear them read interesting stories or hear them talk of their high school experiences and plan for their college days. J ohn began to realize how much he had missed in life and he began THE NORM, FORTYTFOUR THE NORM also to see. how much happier one is when he has some definite work to do, and best of all how much a good home means. At length harvest was over and winter was coming on, so Mr, Fletcher had no more use for J ohnis labor on the farm. It Was a sad day for all when J ohn left, for he had proved himself to be a worthy man. . John did not leave the Fletcher home with the same VleW of life that he had when he came, for he had profited greatly by , having worked on the farm. He had grown to love it and its work and it was not very long after leaving Fletcheris that J ohn purchased a farm for himself on the installment plan. He made good and was moderately successful after a few years of work. There was one thing, however, that J ohn did not like to do and that waseto keep house. Often in the evening when he sat alone he thought of his father and then he would think of the happy Fletcher family and wish that some day he might have such a home. , John had made the acquaintance of a family by the name of Lewis, who lived some miles away. Lewises would often invite- John to Visit them for they found him very pleasant cOmpany. One of these Visits he made the acquaintance of Mrs. Allen, Mrs. Lewis,s sister a widow witha young son. Mrs. Allen had come from the East to visit her sister and expected to stay for some time. After her arrival John made his visits to the Lewis home more and more frequent until the neighbors began to notice his ab- sence and wondered why he was away from his farm so much. One day their wondering ceased for John brought home a . wife. His wife was Mrs. Lewisls sister. . The neighbor women were somewhat provoked with themselves that they had failed to guess that John was going to be married, for hadnlt' he been fixing up his house, painting and plastering it, and hadnit they seen him bring some new furniture home? The years that followed were happy ones for John and his family. He grew to love his step-son as if he had been a child of his own. Then, when Earnest, for that .was the boys name, grew to be a youth, John thought how much he would miss him if he should ever leave home. These thoughts would make him think of his own father and how his father must have felt when he ran away. He so often wished he might find. out whether his father 3.

As years went by he I thought more and more about his father. One day John drove to a city some twenty-five miles away from home. As he entered the 'city he saw a run-away horse. The horse was hitched to a delivery wagon and an old man was inside who could not guide the horse. As the horse neared John, it turned a Corner and upset the wagon. The old man was thrown to the pavement. At first he was thought to be dead. John rushed to the scene as soon as possible. When he looked at the old man he turned as white as death and said, iiOh, Father! Father! I have found you at last! Oh, Father, are you dead? Answer me, Father? It was soon discovered that the accident was not a serious one, for in a few hours the father regained consciousness. When the father realized that his lost son-was found he was overjoyed. He cried, itMy son! My son! How happy I am to see you on'cei-mzore! I have prayed night and day that we two should meet each other again? The physician told John that his father could leave the hos- pital the next day. John was very glad to hear this. The next day John took his father to his home to live with him and his family.

It was always a pleasure to go there on a Visit, but on this particular oecasion I looked forward to it with more than ordinary pleasure, . for I was the proud possessor of a brand new Winchester rifle and Uncle Amos had promised. that he would take me on a deer hunt if I came. f ' A few days after my arrival Uncle Amos announced that on the following day We would start on our hunt. Bob Turner and his father were going with us so Bob came over to help pack up. After this was completed and I had shown Bob how easily and rapidly I could load, fire, and reload my iiLittle Daisy? as I had named my new gun he went home promising to be up and ready early the next morning. . When we arrived at Mr. Turneris the next morning, he and Bob were ready. They climbed into the wagon and we were off for the mountains on a hunt.

That night we camped in a pretty grove near a spring of cold water. The next morning we were up bright and early. With breakfast over and horses fed we were ready to start on our hunt. Mr. Turner was as famous hunter and knew of a place where deer were usually found, 'so we started for that place, watching care- fully as we went.

Mr. Turner and I had come quite close together, as we climbed a ridge between two canyons, just in time to hear a itthudll thud 'of feet and catch a glimpse of sev- eral deer as they passed around a. point a little farther up Mr. Turner suggested that I go on one side while he took the 7 other, hoping by this means that'one of us at least miight again see the deer and get a Shot. Old J ack had followedeme that morn- , ing and as we now moved slowly and cautiously along he kept sniffing the air and occasionally uttering little short whines; when all at once he bounded forward and, barking fiercely, made for a small animal looking much like a small hog. The animal, a bear cub, went nimbly up into the branches of a small fir tree. Anxious to try my new gun I drew upandnfired, just making, as we found afterward, a small wound on the fore leg near the body. It caused the cub, however, to cry out with pain, when all at once out of a thicket near by come the old mother bear in'a perfect frenzy of rage; seeing old J ack she made straight for him. He, however, surprised by the suddenness and fierceness of the at- tack dropped his tail between his hind legs and made for me as fast as he could make his short legs go, with the old bear only a short distance behind. Watching old Jackls predicament for a few moments I did not think of myself ; then realizing my position and the extreme dan- ger in which I was, I raised my beautiful 30-30. to my face, and, drawing between the eyes of the fierce beast, rapidly approach- ing, fired. Her head suddenly dropped, her nose caught in the brush, and she rolled over on her back stone dead, not thirty feet from where I stood. . Mr. Turner heard the'shooting and came rapidly over the ridge between us, expecting at any moment to see the deer. Im- agine, however, his surprise when he saw that large bear lying there dead. Uncle Amos and Bob also had heardlthe firing, and thinking that Mr. Turner had brought down a buck, came around I to where we were. In the meantime old J ackis courage had grad- ually returned as he cautiously approached and sniffediat the dead bear, for he was now barking furiously up the tree in which the cub had taken refuge. After Uncle Amos and Bob arrived, the .story of the killing had THE NORM FORTY-EIGHT THE NORM d the big bear examined'and admired. d his hand upon my shoulder and said, iiThat was a lucky shot, Bennie, for if you had missed a dead shot at that distance, the old bear would certainly have killed you. Mr. Turner with his hunteris ax managed to cut down the tree in which the cub was and we captured him. The old bear: 'Was skinned, and with the skin on a pole carried by Uncle Amos and Mr. Turner we proceeded down the mountain to camp. Bob and I managed the captured cub, while old J ack scampered around and sniffed at the bear skin on the pole or cautiously investigated the cub. v a ' Arriving at camp .we went through the usual duties of camp life, while I told again and again of the exciting moment when old Bruin was coming: for me with such ferocity. The next day we returned home with our prize. Although in theeyears which have passed, I, as a hunter, have had many thrilling experiences, and passed through many dan- gerous places, I think that day when I stood with my bright new gun in my hands and the big bear dead at my feet, was the proud- est moment of my life. to be gone over again an After this Uncle Amos lai Eu :1 Nnrmal $irl Believe me, if all those fetching young charms, Which my longing lamps gaze at today, Were to change Iid say ilKiddo please flee from my arms, Beat it dearest, oh fade, fade away?

Minerva stepped down from her pedestal, and walked across the stage. The snake which had been about her feet slow- ly uncoiled, and slid noiselessly to the floor. The figures at the east end of the roOm became active. Washington and his soldiers dropped their oars, and jumped nimbly out of their boats. Even Caesar and Shakespeare roused themselves and called to Washington to take them over to the stage, where all were gather- ed. When they were comfortably seated in the faculty chairs, ' with Washington as president, the meeting began. wListen, people? said the president, liyou have heard it an- nounced in chapel that tomorrow is the last day the class of 14 is , to be with us. ' In the evening they will hold their graduation ex- ercises, and then we shall never again see them all together. I believe it would be only fitting that we express in some way our appreciation of their conduct during their stay with us. I should like to hear your opinion on this subject. - At this, Caesarls well defined mouth broke into a 'smile.' iiIn- I deed? he said, iiI have grown quite attached to this class during . the many days I have seen them in faithful attendance at chapel. I move that we try to express our appreciation of them in some way? itSecond the motionfi-snapped Shakespeare.

Now, Shakespeare, its your turn? Shakespeare threw back his curly locks. iiI cannot give them my gift of writing, he said. But I can give them something greater than this. They shall have the power to see into the characters of their fellow-men, and find out the good in each one. Caesar now arose. il1 do not wish these Seniors to become generals of war, such as I have been. They shall be leaders. of men in all movements of peace and right? .

As future teachers, full of hope, inspiration and enthusiasm, we can not but wonder why the first motto, taken liberally, is not enough to insure success and if the latter will not eventually change us from trolleys to trailers in whose minds the words: ' liNew occasions beach new duties, Time makes ancient good uncouth, They must upward still and onward Who would keep abreast of Truth? have no significance. Be that as it may, observation has convinced us that all suc- cessful men do move forward; but further observation has also revealed the fact that they have been treading warily, all the time. J. G. Holland says: ilHeaVIen is not reached at a single bound. But we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, And we mount to the summit round by round? But? someone says, why is it that some teachers havesa perfectly straight and safe ladder to climb while so many others have wabbly ones which often break before the tops are reached. ?

As 'everyone knows, who has had any experience on a school -v .Lv is...-.- V- . paper, there is always some material which cannot be published, either for lack of space or for the reason that it does not fit in at . i just that particular time. There are several good things which could not be published in this issue of ttThe Norm two especially which deserve special mention: ttAs We Like It? Book II by Agnes Harris, and ttBerlin, by Miss Agnes Campbell, an alumna of this school. We take this opportunity also of asking a request of our con- tributors. Please write on only one side of the paper in writing up ttNormii material. It isn,t the fact that it troubles us so much that we ask itabut it is the greatest trial on earth to the printers. So if we want to keep their good will we must send in material which is written on only one side of the paper. 9?: Why not a Printing Press? Varied and many are the advantages found in the Oregon Normal School, but to the writer it seems best that there A PRINTING PRESS a should be added one more and that is a printing press. The diffi- culty of printing the N ormal invitations, announcements and so on, has proved to me that this would be a great advantage, not only to us, as students and faculty, but to the state at large-because the expense of publishing the Norm and other printing which cannot be done at. the state office, would be greatly lessened. Many valuable lesson plans would be printed and outlines made, thus sav- ing much of the drudgery of note book work. The students could do the work that they are now paying an enormous price for. They would also derive a great benefit from this, in that they would get the experience in this particular line of work. At almost all of the advanced schools in the state they have their school paper and with the training here the students could assist in the work more intelligently and see that it was carried out properly. THE NORM FIFTY-EIGHT The establishing of a press in the Oregon Normal School WQuld be a nucleus of the schooPs publishing its own text books as well as those of the state. . . . This is the vision of one of the Board of Regents and a Vlsion that is practical and one that I sincerely hope may be realized in the near future. The state at large would receive a great benefit, in that it would have the work done where the school training is carried on, The cost of publishing school material would be greatly lessened, for the students, as a Whole, could assist in the work. In View of these facts what are the objections to establishing a printing press at the Oregon Normal School? R.H.B. i? A corps of teachers having varying methods is working at a disadvantage both to the teachers themselves and t0 the school in their charge. . From-the trained teacheris standpoint, this condition is of , ,vital importance. If a Normal trained teacher goes into a school AN IDEAL SITUATION v I having a standard of work differing from his, especially if the. others are working along lines long approved by the people of the ; district and if his predecessor has been popular, it is not unlikely; that the new methods Will not meet With entire approval. It is true that correct teaching Will Win in the end, but With a lone teacher among a group having different ways, results cannot be gained rapidly. Suppose the trained teacher takes a room in the ' middle grades; then probably most of the pupils coming to that . room W111 be poorly prepaned in ways of thinking as compared to pupils in a place Where all the work in the lower grades had been . in the hands of properly prepared teachers; and a considerable part of ones success depends upon the material With Which he works. . ' This difference in preparation is certainly as important to the pupils, and t0 the people, as to the teacher. Therefore, it seems ,that this is a strong argument Why school boards should, if pos- sible, select their entire corps from professionally trained teach- ers. Indeed, even. another step in advance might be taken, that 3m n m 3am u u m 1 3m 33' MC pm; W M mt rr- W h: u. a MMi-uh 5M 1am. am a Q. IN XII bag 33' .4th 0: s. K 4433...; Winn ' .

I THE NORM 7 would make conditions as nearly ideal as .is at present possible The plan is to select, a year or even a half year in advance, a fac: ulty from the Normal School; each especially adapted to his de- partment; whose work and talents will supplement one another in building up the various activities, music, athletics, rhetoricals, etc.; whose temperaments are congenial. Give them as much informa- tion of the school as possible. Organize and train that faculty at the Normal School with especial reference to the place they are to occupy. Let them plan their course of study, outside activities to be taken up, etc. for that community. What teacher could fail to make good under such favorable conditions? What school could fail to be roused to highest effort and enthusiasm by such a battery? What school, under such a guidance, could fail to stand a living beacon to light other schools to a like path; to be a guiding star, directing the live teachers of the surrounding country to O. N. S?

D. I well remember how I wondered what T. D. could mean, but, being extremely fortunate in having a brilliant chum , I had soon solved the difficulty. The building itself appealed to me as perfectly harm- less, for had I not gone to high school for three whole years in a building just like it and lived? Next came ob- servation in the T. D. Teaching must be a snap, for didnit every- thing run as clock work for the critics? The desire to get into the game myself grew with every lesson. Finally, the day arrived when I-even I-was to write lesson plans. After several unsuc- cessful attempts, I slipped through the back gate and on bended knee begged for my neighbofs discarded manuscripts. The wish was granted and the plans written. The Sunday night before I began teaching is unforgetable. I taught diligently all night and received criticisms good, bad and indifferent. The following three weeks were a bitter trial to my family, for they heard lesson plans and criticisms and lesson plans. If I .wasnlt talking them, I was thinking them and in consequence was as glum as could be. At the end of this time, I was informed I had served my term, and, such being the perversity of woman, I was indignant and unhappy , that, my lot had been only three short weeks in the notorious Training Department. From the above, I am fearful you may get the impression that I am unconscious of the benefits of the Training School. It is a place where we are given an opportunity to test the many theories glven us in the Normal classes. We are told of our peculiarities and wherein we may improve along all lines. Not only this, but we are glven suggestions that are most helpful in meeting all 0 x smmm THE NORM situations. After all is said and done, the sleepless nights and busy days caused by the T.

There were those in the class who longed to be excused from this course because of their knowledge of the subject; there were those who longed to be eX- cused lest they betray a lack of knowledge of the subject; and there were many who felt that a compulsory subject with infrequent recitations was a thing to, be endured but never to be enj oyed. ' How quickly we readjusted our views when the work began, for it has been pleasant and profitable from beginning to end. Early in the year came a vigorous drill on the purely technical side of English, in order to weed out our favorite errors, to clear up any difficulties which troubled us and to put our knowledge of English in general working order. This drill was followed by theme writing that We might apply the knowledge revived org acquired. .. Throughout the course the work was carefully motlvated for - us as teachers. The written work included news items of school affairs, expository themes on professional subjects, letters of ap- . plication and of reference, and-crowning effort-a chapel talk. How we did agonize over those Chapel talks! We lay awahe nights pondering over a subject. We selected one and immediately 1ts importance was monumental. We haunted the library tifrom early morn till dewy eve. We boned our friends to the limit of their THE NORM, ijg scheduling for class work the Seniors were cone SIXTY-FOUR THE NORM endurance. We looked ourselves in from a careless and unsympa- thetic world; and, finally, we emerged triumphant with eight neat- ly written pages to lay before our instructor. Out of the prepara- tion of these chapel talks came three big, useful things-the abil- ity to find and select reference material, the definite knowledge of one current or professional subject and the thrill of honest pride which comes from doing onels best on a piece of work. This written work work did not monopolize the entire course. for the oral work was equally helpful and interesting. At one recitation the class would assemble as a debating club; at another it would have all the earmarks of a teachers, institute; while at another it would be transformed into a live- parent-teacher organi- zation deep in the discussion of public affairs. Perhaps we enjoyed most of all those days when essays or short selections were read to us. Their strength, their beauty, their aptness ofexpression will linger long in our minds. Our pure enjoyment of the course in Technical English has been due to Miss Kiennonls originality of thought and expression, to her unfailing sense of humor, to her patience and sympathy when we were in the throes of producing a chapel talk, and to her friendly, genuine interest in the work of each student. , igzyrhnlngg C.

The reasons for which she failed to see or to know. - Fortunately for her and the children psychologists were at that very time engaged in the study of the causes of her troubles. They felt that the needs and desires of the child must be studied to meet these requirements; that he must be studied mentally or psychologically. It was found that the child passed through four well determined stages before he arrived at maturity; that at each stage certain mental and physical conditions were exper- ienced. This then was established as a basis and upon it were built up certain laws or principles. Thus through the study of psychology, teaching the child has been developed from a haphazard art into ' an artful science, where all the devices and means possible may be utilized to the best advantage. The stages of development have been classified as follows: ffEarly Infancy, from birth to about two and one half years; iiLater Infancy? from the end of the first period until six or seven; ' Childhood, from six or seven until twelve or thirteen; ffAdolescenceXi from the end of childhood until maturity. These periods of development though distinct are not sharply separated, but are continuous and overlap. Though the teacher has nothing to do with the child in the first stage, and not until far'into the second, yet a knowledge of the child through these stages is very necessary. . . The first period is one of beginnings. The child is largely con- cerned with the mastery of the fundamental physical co-ordina- tions. His play is more physical than intellectual. In this period he acquires experiences which serve as the basis of the dawning imagination. His control over objects grows in proportion as he remembers the results of past experiences and utilizes them in further manipulation. Though the child in Later Infancyii is getting a freer use and control of the larger and some of the finer muscularzco-ordi- nations it is pre-eminently the golden era of the imagination. In this period the object is reduced to a subsidiary position, and play is more the response to images in the mind. The chair is . not pushed to and fro merely for the sake of pleasure, but it has become a train of cars or a stage coach. The child is a stage THE NORM SIXTY'SIX driver, an engineer, or a king in some fairy story. . This period, therefore and much of the next is the ODPOTtPn'e t1me for 16.3!er stories and myths. And we should feed the mlnd on those things which it craves, for it will only too soon leave them for others. During the third period or childhood, the Imaginatlon ceases to be so blindly impulsive, and images serve to gulde .and dlrect 'activity through a series of steps. The image 1s becomlng: a syme bol. The conscious distinction between means and ends 1nvolves the symbolic function of the image. This is the most significant characteristic of this period. Yet this must be arrived at through' :9 concrete rather than theoretical situations. In this period the '- boy wants to make things, to use tools; the girl desires to cook, ' to sew, etc. They desire to see concrete results. Naturally this is the psychological time for manual training, domestic science, etc. The fourth period is one of rapid growth. More significant than this however, is the coming to consciousness of new instincts. g. y, The youth realizes that childhood has come to an end. Thinking . 2 which followed concrete situations gives way to more reflective , thinking and to reasoning. It dteveIOps greater power of under- ' standing abstract laws and principles. The teacher who attempts to teach without some knowledge of the development of the child through the different periods given - here, is certainly making a grave mistake; , , Psychology occupies the same place in the training of teachers 3'5! 53mm ; that physiology does in the education of a physician and surgeon. 2; 7;: 1: twin: my We would most emphatically refuse to allow a person to per- mm- m. had form an operation upon us who had not studied physiology and a izrfmn W: 3 anatomy; and why should we not just as carefully select those :mm M'mae 9... who are to operate upon the minds of our children.

Arenit you glad you took that course undcer Miss Butler, under .whose capable management it has reached its present efficiency? A letter from Margaret not long ago, said that they were put- ting into the school in which she is teaching, for the first time the Domestic Science and Art courses and she had full charge of the planning and buying of all the necessities for that department. I imagine she is glad she had her training in the Oregon Normal School. ' Domestic Science or Home Economics is gradually becoming a part of the curriculum of almost every school and so it is that the teacher must be able to teach this work just as surely as she ' must teach the formal studies. We are fortunate in coming here where we are taught the fundamentals along these lines and the ways and methods of presenting them to children. Then too, we have the opportunity of doing practice teaching in these subjects in the Training Department. This year Miss Butler has divided the Domestic Science classes 'into groups of four. Each group has given either a dinner or a luncheon. We have been allowed ten cents per guest for the lunch- :eons and fifteen cents per guest for the dinners. , , Yesterday my group gave a dinner. I am sure you will be ,in- terested in knowing about our decorations, and the menu, which we managed to cut to twelve cents a guest. We used pink and green as our color scheme. And, oh, my dear, you should have seen our table! For favors and place cards we used little pink pa- per baskets with the different 'names on the handles and a little pink brier rosre bud peeping out from the side. The baskets were filled: with pink and green mints which we made. We used pink brier roses for a center piece and a basket of pink roses on either end of the table. And now for the menu. Salad, lettuce, egg and asparagus tips, with French dressing ; meat croquettes with green peas, mashed potatoes with cheese, orange marmalade, Parker- house rolls, coffee with good cream, fresh strawberry wh1p and lady fingers with after dinner mints. All the guests said it was a great had to say that. The other dinners w Some even more so-I know I have to success but they knew they ere equally as elaborate and say that. SIXTY-EIGHT THE NORM However it shows What can be done With cutting expense so that the money will. go farther and the higher things in life may be included. ' The Domestic Art student teachers this year have aroused such! an interest inthe Training Department that even the boys are learning to iitat and crochet. The girls in the higher grades have made their own work bags, have dressed dolls, crocheted lace for trimmings and made aprons for themselves. So you see What a wonderful opportunity along these lines these girls will have when they get into their own schools. I hope that every Oregon teacher if she has not already had her training 'in the Oregon Normal School Will someday come here, . if youilli pardon the vernacular, Where, the right goods are de- livered in the right manner.

The first division might be called an introduc- tion to the machinery of the library, consisting of a careful expla- nation of their classification of books, followed by actual practice in classifying and locating the books in the library according to the Dewey Decimal system. Lessons are given on the various dictionaries with discussions on the merits and demerits of each. We are taught how to use reference books to the best advantage. This is especially beneficial to those who write Chapel Talks. Lessons are also given on the use of the card catalogue which is of great service to us in locating books, and the Readers Guide which assists in finding material in the periodical literature. The second division of work is planned more specifically to be of assistance to us as we go out to take charge of the libraries in our own schools. It included lessons in the choosing and ordering i of books, classifying, accessioning and cataloging them; the work of the Oregon State Library, with a study of the publications that will be helpful to us in teaching; also practical work in cleaning, mending and the general care of books. The last division and in a great many respects the' most im- portant, is a knowledge and love of childrenis literature. We are taught how to discriminate between the right and wrong kinds of books. Huxley wisely said that to teach boys and girls to read without any provision for what that reading shall be, is as sense- less as to teach them the expert use of a knife, fork and spoon, With no provision for their physical food. A large collection of the best books for children is reviewed in class by the different members ; this is followed by a class discussion in which the pur- pose of the book is brought out, its literary characteristics, and what interests in childhood it ministers to. Thus we students become acquainted with scores of good books which we shall not hesitate to recommend to any child to read. . A To create a taste for good reading is a greater problem than to furnish the books themselves. We honor those whose money w11i build and supply libraries, but the teacher is the greater bene- factor if she can create a lasting desire for good reading in the lives of the children. Our State Course of Study repeatedly says, iiGuide the reading of the pupils, and this course in Library Methods at the Oregon Normal School is one of the surest ways to learn how to do this successfully. 'SEVENTY THE NORM gmrinlngy atth .Gliniw By, T. C. WHE course in Sociology and Civics is one which 6' K should appeal to every teacher or prospective ' teacher in Oregon. its professional value a better preparation for performing the duties of citizenship. Following! along this line of thought to become more effi- cient one must constantly bear in mind that seven-eighths of our American children get all their preparation in the eighth grade schools. Out of these come the future citizen 1 who will and must exercise all the duties of an American citizen. Hence the necessity of the teachers being prepared to interest the pupil in a larger and broader view of his relation and duties to his country and fellow citizens. Furthermore we have the daily re- ports on current events given by members of the class. These are very Valuable assets as they bring out the big things. The leaders in the activities of the world are discussed in class, bring- ing the problems of the day before each member of the class and showing the direct connection with past and present condi- - tions. This makes it possible for the teachedi or student to in- ' terpriet correctly the problems before him and to develop the ability to see the important things of the day as they are present- , ed by the press, one of the greatest factors in civilization. The value of this knowledge to the teacher in the school room is not to be questioned as all appreciate how essential it is that the teacher have the subject matter which he is going to teach well in hand. Our youth should be especially instructed in such things as pertain to their duties toward government and their fellow men. If we are to keep our name 'as a progressive nation it is by the proper and wholesome instruction of the tiAmerican Youth? up- on whom the responsibility of government will soon devolve. In fact how many of us can square up before the political issues of the day and answer a majority of them in an intelligent and proper way.

Mr. Ostien, the head of the department, of- . , fers the following courses: Algebra, Plane and Solid Geometry, Academic and Professional Arithmetic. The work in Algebra, Geometry and Academic Arithmetic gives the teacher a broader knowledge of the subjects while the course in Professional Arithmetic not only does this but it gives a knowledge of the best methods by Which the subject can be successfully taught. The great aim in all this work is to make prominent the parts or topics Which are practical in mathematics, thus bringing the work of this department in line With the present day trend of: education. - Certain days are set aside on Which the classes visit the train-' ing school and there make systematic observation ,of- the work done.

Long before the people began to arrive students were seen hurrying to a and fro, practicing, decorating and doing a hun- dred other things. But at last all was ready. Q d The seats were filled and overflowing and the campus dotted here and there with groups of friends and out of town people. The music started and the parade began. First Come the Seniors dressed as sweet peas. As they. danced along they made a very pretty picture. Next came the Juniors, who had worked out a very striking pageant showing an incident in the life of Joan of Arc. Miss Edwards on a large white horse made a very beautiful Joan. The warriors in the white and gold of the class, and the peasants gaily clad added a pleasing touch of color to the scene. And last came the Sophomore-Freshman classes marching t0 fOrm a beautiful chariot decked in white and blue flowers. The marching was so well done and the colors so light and spring like that the effect was beautiful. ' The herald of the day announced the coming of the Queen, Miss. Edna Phillips, the itSpring Songi, was begun and the Queen was' seen approaching. Nothing could have been more beautiful than the Queen, the attendants in the flower bedecked robes and the little flower girls. ' The Queen took her place on the throne, the different classes .were presented to her, and the festivities of the day began. The May pole winding was especially beautiful. The poles with the bright colored streamers and the waving flowers on the tops, the girls in their white dresses and wearing the colOrs of their classes, made a true May Day picture. After all the poles had been wound the herald dismissed the' crowd for the noon hour. .Promptly at one thirty. the crowd was gathered to see the ten- SEVENTY-FOUR . THE NORM nis game which was won by the J unior team. After this, the folk dancing, the club swinging, the volley ball game, the relay race and the bat ball game were given. . . The audience seemed especially pleased w1th the folk dancmg The different groups dressed in unique costumes were indeed a novel sight. . . , ' The boys volley ball game was very exciting and full of mterest as were the relay race and the bat ball game, The herald then bade all the classes gather around the Queen and the results of the day were announced and the prizes given. The Seniors received the cup by a margin of two points over the J uniors. The crowd was then dismissed and all went away feeling that this May Day was the finest ever spent. Had anyone present '- been asked why it had'been so good he would have answered, ttBecause it was the Oregon Normal School that did itf? . S. M. H. ,15 QUANDARIES OF THE EDITOR.

Miss Duncan made everyone feel that the teacher has a great influence, not only in the school, but in the com- Cl cheer. - The faculty and students of the Normal and the high school and training school pupils enjoyed a rare treat Wednesday, April 10, by having the Training School Orchestra give two numbers at chapel. The class of music was such as to do credit to an orchestra of adults. Much credit is due Miss Hoham for the splendid pro- gress that the orcheStra is making. Friday afternoon, April 3, was class day for the J unior class. At the chapel time they sang-a jolly song of the circus to which invitation the entire student body, faculty and many others, responded. At one oiclock the parade began in the gymnasium. There were camels, giraffes, elephants and everything one would expect to see at a circus. The special features of the day were a mock chapel exercise, a minstrel show and various wonders in side shows. T0 the J unior class belongs much credit for working out such a unique class day program. Friday morning, April 24, Miss Taylor of the Physical Edu- cation Department represented the faculty at chapel. She gave a very interesting talk on the iiOrigin of May Day. .It was espe- cially interesting for it came as a preparation for our annual May Day Festival. ' Good Roads Day was observed in Monmouth and the Normal School showed its interest in the movement. Every male member of the school worked hard all day on the roads. At the noon hour, ' they were served a luncheon in the Domestic Science rooms by the Normal girls. munity.

Mrs. Myers, the president of the Par- ent-Teachefs Association of Portland spoke at the chapel exer- cises on the subject iiThe Purpose of the Pareht-Teachefs Assoei- ationf, Mrs Myers is interested in the Normal and has watched its growth with interest. We would be pleased to have her Visit us again. ' Miss Hoham represented the faculty in the chapel talks, Fri- day, March 27.. She entertained the students with several folk songs and made suggestions as to how to select songs for school use. The students wish that Miss Hoham may again give a iichap- e1 talk? a Miss Crouter was the second Senior to appear at chapel this semester. The subject was tiMusic in the School. Her talk was instructive as well as interesting. After telling of the development of music, Miss Crouter emphasized its value in the school room. The Delphian Literary Society gave its annual Cotillion in the Normal gymnasium April 18. The figures formed the first part of the program which was well carried out. Some attractive fig- 5,; . .

On March 20th, Mr. Kuntz, superintendent of the Salem schools, talked to us in chapel. Although he had no set theme, he made very plain to us what a city superintendent expects of a teacher. Superintendent Kuntz told us that Salem is looking to the Normal for her teachers. ' I Miss Kennon represented the faculty in chapel on March 23. Her subject was iiLife. Miss Kennonis personality; added much to her talk. As Mr. Ackerman suggested, our work for the week went off much better for the cheer with which Miss Kennon start-- -, ed us.

The Senior class was represented in chapel on April 21st by Mr. English, who took for his subject, iiA Plea for the Short Ballot. Since a number of the students of the school are voters, this talk was very instructive. - Mr. Ostien took us with him 011 a trip through YelloWstone National Park; this with the aid of the lantern and slides. His illustrated talk was made exceptionally interesting by a summer's study of the park. Coming, as it did, on the night before Easter vacation, everybody went home with new inspirations. Miss Caroline Luther represented the Senior class on April ' ' 28th. Her subject was, itVQcational Training for Women. This paper appealed to the majority of the students and faculty for reasons very evident. The Senior class held a reception for the faculty and student body on May 9. Mrs. Todd, president of the Portland Shakespeare Club, gave us a number of Shakespearean readings. Miss McDaniel, accompanied by, Miss Grout, rendered several . beautiful selections on the Violin. Original entertainment oc- cupied the remainder of the evening. Mr. Rutherford, city superintendent of the McMinnVille schools, talked to us in chapel on May 14. This was an exception- ally delightful talk and we all join Mr. Ackerman in hoping that Mr. Rutherford may come again. Y. W. C. A.' Convention. Great interest was shown in the cabinet ecOnference of the Western State Young Womenis Christian Association which was held at the Oregon Normal School on' April third to fifth. A total number of seventy-one Visitors was present, among whom were: Miss Butler of New York, National Secretary of the Y. W. C. A. and Miss Fox, Field Secretary of the Northwest.

The Sen- iors of .the Vespertines gave a parliamentry drill, after which Miss Kennon spoke on the society work of the semester. A'vote of thanks was extended to Miss Kennon and t0 the president, Miss Henderson, in appreciation of their untiring efforts in behalf of the society, much of the success of which has been due to them.

Those of us who have been With the Society for the past three years unhesitatingly declare this'year to have been best of all. ' i If the society has been the medium by which many of us, have become able to stand before an audience and express. ourselves freely and intelligently, it will have accomplished its primary ob- ject. In this respect good work has been done. Many of us who, at the beginning .Of' the year, stood before an audience with Fear and Trembling personified can now face an assembly and say what we wish to say in the way we wish it said. This means much in- deed to those who had little or no previous experience in public speaking. Then, too, particularly during this semester, iiParlia- 1W1 EIGHTY THE NORM mentary Order has been strictly enforced. . The knowledge and skill gained along this line by all cannot fail to help us Immensely. We doubt that if ever was J ohn Marshall more serious and digni- fied in rendering decisions than has been our. worthy President when telling us j ust what Mr. Roberts meant when he wrote his notable work on Parliamentary Law. Often, when we were swamped in Parliamentary Waters, the Chair, armed with both the Law and the Gavel, came gallantly to our relief. However, on one of those eventful occasions, certain iiregretsh which to this day have not been recovered, were lost. Soon will be forgotten what we said here, but never will be forgotten what we did here. We are largely indebted to our critic, Mr. Butler, for the profitable and enjoyable work that has obtained during the year. Much of his philosophy of Life is contained in the word iiModerationfi He has shared our joy and mirth as well as our serious and deliberative work. We who have been with him longest love him best. Mr. Ivan Wood succeeded Mr. C. E. Cady, who has a good posi- tion in the Falls City schools, as Secretary. Mr. Cady was one of . our ablest membersehis loss was keenly felt. On the evening of May 22 the Normals participated in the final joint meeting of the three societies for the year. Our quar- tette, which has done splendid work during the semester, was a big feature of this meeting, ' To our nine members who now graduate and enter into their lifeis work, we extend an affectionate farewell.

The Story Telling Contest, for a prize of five dollars, given by. the critic, Miss Parrott; was very interesting. Each of the A 1 three upper classes was represented by two members. Miss Mitch-i 3 e11 and Miss DeVore upheld the reputation of the Senior class; . Miss Mitchell won the prize with the popular folk-tale, itEast oi the Sun and West oi the Moon? and with Miss DeVore's assistance won the honors of the contest for the Seniors.

The Seniors entertained the faculty and student body at a reception. given in the Normal building on May the ninth. The, main feature of the evening was a Shakespearean reading given by Mrs. Todd of Portland. Interesting games and stunts caused much enjoyment and laughter. Altogether, the evening Was voted a grand success. The Senior class this year intend to give Shakespeares iiAs You Like It? in the grove, for their class play. Several members of the Senior class have already secured good positions for next year. Among them are: Miss Emily De- Vore, at Medford; Miss Lyda Bell, at Oakland; Miss Nelly Darr, at Athena; Miss Iza Constable, Miss Kate Henderson and Miss Elda McDaniel, at Forest Grove; Miss Agnes Harris, at'Oregon City; Miss Mable Gayne, at Tillamook.

This committee was again divided, so that each of its members-became the head of a sub-committee, to one Of which each J unior belonged.

On acount of the small number in the Fresh- man Class, they joined the Sophomores on May Day and Class Day exercises. As a result of this union and the originality of the Sophs, our class won first place in the May Day parade and scored high in other activities. On May Day evening Miss Taylor entertained the class at her home. During the course of the evening the Juniors returned the call given them last semester. Just now every Sophomore is busy preparing for Class Day. We regret that we cannot tell you about it in this Norm, but no doubt you will read in the daily papers of the fine rendition of the Bridge of the Gods given by the Sophomores of the O. N.

M. . - . .NE of the most'interestlng and helpful events in W 5 Y. W. C. A. work this year, we feel, was the cab- inet conference of the Western States Young Womenis Christian Association which was held in Monmouth April third to sixth. AmOng the total number of seventy-one Visit- ors were: Miss Butler of New York, ,National Secretary of the Y. W. C. A. and a sister to President Butler of Columbia University; Miss Elizabeth Fox, Field Secretary of the Northwest; Miss Enid Bell, and other prominent workers. Miss Butler, who was the principal speaker and, with Miss FOX, leader of the convention, is a woman .of charming personality. Her inter- esting talks held the attention of every one and gave to the girls a wider Vision of their work. . Some of the features of the conference were the informal re- ception held'in honor of the guests and the Summer Conference i Banquet, in the dining hall of the Dormitory, at Which Mrs. Ger- linger of Dallas presided as toastmistress. The meetings were all well attended and the Y. W. girls, espe- cially those of the new cabinet, feel that the conference has been a great help and inspiration to them. All the girls are looking for- ward to the Summer Conference'at Cohasset and are planning to send at least two delegates. . K The informal meetings held at the various homes have been. continued and have been a means of bringing the girls much closer together. The next meeting will be held in the county. The sub- ject is, itGod in Nature? ' This year has been a every successful one. A large number of new members have been'added t0 the association and have proved themselves .loyal workers. The new cabinet is enthusiastically plan- ning the work for next year. ' The Y. W. C. A. is already a very important factor in the school, but we hope to make it of even greater importance next year. There is j ust one'thing that we regret in looknig forward to our next years work and that is that we shall not have our advisor, 1314M Liz; V1213. Alutf'ihl 1!; pnmr : LM'V?

Miss Davis, with us. She has been so helpful, so enthusiastic in her wOrk, and such a friend to every girl in the association that 'y her loss will be greatly felt. We feel that our success has been ' due, in a large measure to her help and it is hard to realize that we shall no longer have her with us. The girls are planning several little entertainments in her honor. Every Y. W. girl wishes to express her love and appre- ciation for all that she has meant to our association and to wish for her all the happiness possible.
