Sv. little Glame Ein Ee NCE upon a time, a long, long time ago, before even you or I were born, perhaps, there was a beautiful young girl attending this school. She was as lovely as the Sleeping Beauty or Cinderella, and was called The Princess by her fellow students who loved her well. One day when the sun was shining bright, the birds were twittering and sing- ing gairly, the girl went for a long walk. A path ran beside the road and under some large fir and poplar trees for a mile or more north from the village, which was known as Lovers' Lane. This was a favorite walk among the students and the one chosen by the girl. She walked along slowly. A small bridge known as Proposal Bridge was just before her. She was wondering if she should cross the bridge or turn home- ward, and had decided to go home, as it was late in the evening, when she heard a clanking of chains, and upon turning to look, she beheld a man approaching on a bicycle. He rode to her side, dismounted, doffed his cap, smiled, and said pleasantly, How charming to find you hereg you know you are to go for a ride with me? The girl glanced about, then looked up to him and asked, Where? Oh, right out on this road, where else would l wish to take you? he answered knowingly. The girl pondered. She looked wistfully back at the school, then out on the long stretch of road before her. The man gazed at her scrutinizingly. Then, I will go, she said simply. The man's face brightened as he led her from the path to the road and gently placed her before him on the bicycle. As he did so, he remarked with an air of authority, This is your last walk out this path. When evening came the girl was missed by her friends. No one knew where she might be found. Two persons had seen her going out towards Lovers' Lane, but no one had seen her return. The news that the girl could not be found spread rapidly as evening deepened. ' Anxiety crept into the minds of the Faculty and students. Several search parties were formed by the students, but their search was unsuccessful. The following day she was still missing. The search was continued, the girl's relatives were notified, but no trace of her could be found. The days grew into weeks, the weeks into months, and then the discussion of her disappearance gradually ceased, as other things of importance filled the minds of the studentsg but it was by no means forgotten by them. As the months grew into years this incident still remained a mystery and was related with great and numerous variations to the new students of each year. 10 5 THE NORM D At first no girl would, under any circumstances whatever, even think of walking out this road. A mystery seemed to shroud the place, but as time passed this wore away and Lovers' Lane again became a favorite walking place. After school hours and on Sundays, one could walk out that way and meet numbers of happy-faced students enjoying the shade of the overhanging boughs and the old novelty of crossing Proposal Bridge. But this privilege is enjoyed no more. At the beginning of this school year, a young girl entered the office to register and asked to have a private interview with the President. After she was shown into his office, she handed him a message, which she said had been entrusted to her by her great-grandmother to be delivered to the President of the school. The President thanked her and she was dismissed. After several meetings of the Faculty and Student Council, a special bulletin was posted, which stated that the Council had deemed it wise to fix the city limits as the boundary for students walking to the north and east of town. One may walk now only to the edge of town, where the large white sign boards mark the city limits, and before him lie the beauties of this favorite haunt, but no longer can he stroll out the shady path, or cross old Proposal Bridge. Everyone soon knew that the message which had been handed to the President that first day of school was the solution of a dual tragedy: the disap- pearance of The Princess at Lovers' Lane and the restriction made upon present students. I did not hear just exactly what the message said, but it told how this girl had been taken by the man, how she had been made a willing captive by him. She thought it her duty to warn the President, that, if he wished to keep the girls at school for the purpose of educating future youth, and wished for their welfare in this profession, not to let them walk out this road, as the same fate might befall them as had befallen her. The Faculty and Council considered it, that there truly was a possibility of another such loss, that of the number of charming young girls and the danger of the road east of town. Hence the rule was made. lf one watches, he may see a few girls walk slowly out to the large white sign board, gaze with eagerness out the forbidden path, then turn and walk back. Submissively, they choose the walks south and west of town. -D. P. ll 5 THE NORM 3 Seninr iqiatnrg N N 1911 a most remarkable bunch of Freshies in clean, new bibs and tuckers ij presented themselves at the Registrar's office in the Oregon Normal School. Such an intelligent, wholesome looking company could not but attract much comment, and various upper-classmen were seen to tremble at the thought of the probable defeats in store for them. Well they might tremble. This same innocent looking group of Freshmen has developed through four years into a class the like of which has never been approached in former years. As Freshmen and Sophomores we spent much time in the important work of learning what not to do as juniors and Seniors. As juniors we accomplished great things for Monmouth. Realizing the dearth of proper amusements in that town we organized and carried to a successful finish a circus. So much for our junior Class Day. This same year we rescued the Seniors from defeat on Nlay Day by just two points. individual members of the class have distinguished them- .selves in tennis, basketball and oratory. The Class of '15 has ever been actuated by a true spirit of generosity and unselfishness, which we strongly advise other classes to emulate. This developed most noticeably in our Senior year. After playing two tie games of basketball with the juniors our team nobly sacrificed the third game because of the true Christmas spirit. Sundry other contests have further proved that this spirit rules us. We are told that a broadminded person is open to conviction and easily led. If this be true, as Seniors we have proved over and over that we are broadminded. One need only look over the records of our class meetings to see how many times we have reconsidered every motion passed. Only six of the fair Freshmen who entered in 1911 remained to become Seniors. This can be explained by the fact that it was discovered that the schools of Oregon needed leaders. True to its mission the class surrendered many of its best to fill the need. Although, as you have no doubt discovered, we are a quiet, unassuming bunch, when our compressed and bottled-up energy bursts forth in effervescent myriads of accomplishments then shall we prove ourselves worthy of mention on the immortal pages of History as establishing lasting fame for O. N. S. -E. D. and M. S. I2 Qllztss glflufner gmarenlqal Heil Qflmse ' Clllass fffufnrs lgnllnfn zmh white Qlrvvh nf 0112155 nf 1915 CUE BELIEVE in professional teaching and in the profes- sional teacher. We believe that the boys and girls of Oregon should have the best of training in order to prepare them for the great work which awaits every citizen of our rapidly developing state. We believe that knowledge gained from books is insignvfcant in comparison to the knowledge gained from contact with a great teacher, such as the standards and ideals of our Alma Mater develops. We believe that the school should be a place of culture and refinement as well as a place of discipline and instruction. We believe in the Parent- Teacher Association, which is unit- ing the home and the school. We believe in the Oregon Normal School, its Faculty and its President who advocates these ideals. Cbiftatnrg CUE, THE class of June, 1915, living in a practical age, 1 recognize the importance of the Student Loan Fund in the Oregon Normal School, established by our worthy predeces- sors. In keeping with this precident the Senior Class has depos- ited the sum of one hundred dollars toward the enlargement of this fund. We have presented it as a small token of the love which we hold for our Alma Mater and with the hope that we may, in a small degree at least, help to further the u'ork of the Oregon Normal School by making it possible for other students to enjoy some of the opportunities which it has been our privi- lege to enjoy. 011215525 -I- f Dnsmsseol CALL MR., Q 0 .

We are a band of twenty enthusiastic workers. When the May Day plans were begun and the historical pageant for each class decided upon, we concluded to co-operate with the Freshman class for this eventful day. The combined classes presented English history in America, showing the landing of the Pilgrims, their homes and industrial life, and the first treaty with the Indians. Our success was made possible by the splendid team work and spirit of the two classes. May twenty-first was another happy day for the combined classes. On this glorious class day, we held sway over the Normal. Admission tickets were sold in the Normal Hall and promptly at two o'clock our play began. The Normal orchestra favored us with several pleasing selections. Again our success was due to class spirit and the help of our class advisors. -WREPORTER.

Hisomck ERHAPS the greatest problems affecting the success of a teacher or principal are those pertaining to the organization and administration of the affairs of the school. With this idea in mind, the president makes it his personal business to see that this department shall not be found wanting. The work is taken up by the student following that in the course of study, also given by the President, and the difficulties with which a teacher must deal from the time the contract is signed till the first year's work is completed are taken up as far as possible in a concrete manner. A workable program is out- lined and some of the many and more difficult problems of city and town organ- ization, administration and supervision are set up for solution. All students wishing to graduate take this course and it is safe to say that of the scores of men and women who go out from the Normal every year, there is not one whose work and abilities as a teacher are not personally known to the President. Not only is he able to know the work from the reports of other departments but more intimately still from this personal contact with the students themselves in daily classroom work. The aim is to give to the future teacher a clearer conception of the work, not only from his own point but from the standpoint of trustee, patron, and pupil, and in general a better understanding of the true function of the school and its proper relation to those other institutionse in that complexity which go to make up community and state. This, together with the molding of higher ideals and the creation of the right attitude toward the profession, is the hope of the department. lt goes without saying that to successfully present this most important phase of teachers' preparatory work requires a man, first of all, with a broad vision of educational affairs in general, a first hand knowledge of the details and problems of the professiong a man whose theories have been tested by years of practical application and proven sound by a record of past achievement. Such a man is President Ackerman. 53 G THE NORM 35 iirnfraainnetl Qiatnrg BY Bsssie IMMEL H' ISTORY is the onward march of the human Q spirit. This is the definition given us by Mr. Butler at the beginning of the Profes- sional History work and in all our discussions we are led to see that this is true. In this class history is not so many dry, hard facts and as many more battles and tiresome dates to be memorized but it is a comprehensive view of all that is happening about us. We see that history is being made today as well as thousands of years ago. During the semester each member of the class prepares at least one lesson plan and teaches the class for one day, having entire charge of the situa- tion for that time. Of course Nlr. Butler is always close at hand to help and save us from chagrin or embarrassment when some inquisitive boy asks a question that we cannot answer. On February twenty-second President Ackerman gave the chapel period over to us that we might use the time in appropriate exercises to commemorate one who did so much for our country when she was just beginning to make history for herself as an independent nation. The program consisted of music, readings, dramatizations and an excellent talk by Mr. Butler. ln our instructor-we have an example of the ideal teacher and every hour spent with him is a help and inspiration. No question raised by any member of the class is too much trouble to be considered and explained in such a way that all feel that it has been very worth while. The greatest care is taken that no point, however small, is left cloudy in any mind. Surely, after spending a semester in such a class no teacher will ever dislike history and he will find a great deal of pleasure in it for his own classes. J. B. V. Butler 54 G THE NORM :O Bepurtment nf Ehumtinn BY CORA L. TURNHJGE F ALL the departments in the Normal School perhaps not one is full of such deep interest to the student as the Department of Educa- - tion. It is here that he knows he will find that scientific knowledge upon which the successful use of subject matter and methods learned in other departments is to be based. And if we were to single out the particular study of greatest worth from this department, we should undoubtedly select Psychology. No student in the school is permitted to graduate until he has completed a thorough course in this subject, which is considered of fully as much importance to the teacher as the understanding of the compass is to the sailor. Here is a study calculated to call for the , most earnest consideration by the student. What is mind? How is it developed? What effect has environment on the child? To what extent does that environment depend on the teacher? Upon what principles of Psychology are our present stock of methods based? These and other practical questions will naturally arise as to the development of the human mind is followed carefully in its various workings. By acquainting the student with the effects produced by certain stimuli, psychology fits him to better adjust his own life to any set of conditions, either without or within, To be conservative we might estimate that life has taken on a triple value and pleasure to that one who has made the truths of this subject his own. To Mr. Evenden, Head of the Department of Education, whose unflagging zeal, enthusiasm and sympathy has ever been an inspiration, a hearty vote of appreciation and thanks is respectfully tendered by the students, through these lines. ' E. S. Evenden 55 Cf THE NORM Q Eepatrimvnt uf Art BY L. D'L. RT in the home, as a reflection of the happiness which comes from apprecia- tion of beauty in color and arrangement, is far from being universal. The picture of a man who fails to house himself simply and beautifully seems appalling to people who believe that beauty is life. We cannot all be artists. Some of us have very little creative power or talent along artistic lines but most of us desire some knowledge of art. How often have we mar- velled at the barrenness of the homes of some of our friends. How much a well chosen, simple decorative design, a soft-toned picture, or a bit of furniture, would have added to the pleasantness of their surrounding. lf we live within an environment that is not harmonious we, very soon, become accustomed to it and are not aware that colors clash and decorations lack harmony, rhythm and balance. It veri- fies the statement that simple habits dull the sense of finer feelings. lf this be true then we are under even greater obligations to influnce and train these habits in the right direction. Every public school system is confronted by this same problem. This semester a greater number of students than ever before have availed themselves of the courses offered in Art I, Il and Ill. A new class in Mechanical Drawing has been added and is conducted in connection with Art ll. Under the able direction and supervision of Miss Alberta Greene the students in Art I have made many very effective program covers, booklets, pictures from nature and cut out stories. The methods for using this material in the first four grades have also been given. The methods for the use of the next four grades have been worked out in Art II. Community posters, drawings from nature, line figures and charcoal studies are a small number of the interesting things this class has enjoyed. The Applied Arts Design Class have been concerned with the very practical things. Posters, advertising cards, calendars, mottoes, stencils, tooled leather and book binding have been their special problems. Excellent results have been achieved this semester in all three classes. The large attendance and enthusiastic efforts of the students prove the genuine interest and pleasure that they get from the work. If this interest in the work is continued how long will it be until the schools, rural, as well as city, will reap the benefits of this training? When this is accomplished, will it, then, be such a great step from the school to the home? 56 Alberta Green 5 THE NORM :O Eepartntent nf mathematira Efrarhing Arithmvtir 'BY CLAUDE A. Amar-:ART HE object of this department is to assist I teachers to more mature power which gives means to an end and makes steps in response to needs. In arithmetic, as in any other subject, the teacher must observe critic- ally and practice steadily before she can gain those finer qualities of balance and resources of interpretation that are needed to' get the best results. She must assume that pupils, like the race, must be inventors and must put before them means by which they can create subject matter for their needs. Number and operations upon number do not exist ready formed, but are mental products. The teacher must use methods whereby her pupils find it necessary to respond to a need in actual situations. She should not wish her pupils to study the varieties ready formed and to memorize set definitions, but she should have them find the varieties for themselves and make definitions in terms of development. Her plan should be definite and each step a logical one. She should know exactly what she is going to do and exactly how she is going to do it. This plan is not to be written out and forgotten, but the formed steps are to be in the teacher's mind as a guide. The teacher who will work out such a plan or guide will do much better work than one who does not. The work of training teachers in the method of teaching arithmetic is based on the belief that the primary and most important aim in the study of the subject is fly to attain accuracy and reasonable rapidity in the handling of numbers, integral and fractional, in the fundamental operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and Q25 to use correctly this knowledge in the work- ing of such number problems as may arise in the various activities of life. To assist in the first the work must be carefully graded, must be pursued with proper logical sequence, and pupils must be given constant and varied drill so that accu- racy and rapidity may become a habit. To assist in the second the various topics studied should be given their proper social and business setting. In order that the teacher may help most in this phase of the work she must ever be alert to discover how the efficient man handles the arithmetic work in his particular line of business. H. C. Ostien 57 5 THE NORM TD Eepartmrnt nf Engliah HE English courses given by Miss Parrott, I head of the department. have two distinct aims-a cultural and a practical one. These two, however, are so closely related that in the hands of a skilled teacher the cultural becomes practical and the practical, cultural. and so it is at the Oregon Normal. These courses include the Sophomore I. and ll. course in Story Telling and Drama- tization. ln this course stories selected from the list given in the Course of Study are told for each of the eight grades. The junior l. and ll. course in Nineteenth Century Poets and Prose Writers surveys a field most often neglected in high schools. but most vital to the student. While this course is paramountly academic, yet it is tinged with a professional flavor that spells Normal rather than College. The junior ll. or Senior I. courses in Professional Language and Professional Gram- mar prepare the students to teach these sub- jects in any of the eight grades. The work is eminently practical as the actual lessons as they would be presented to the children are presented to the class by the students. The Senior Il. course in Professional Reading and Current Literature are two dis- tinct courses. The Professional Reading, which is given during the first ten weeks of the semester, prepares students to teach reading in any grade above the Fourth. Much attention is given to thought getting and expression as developed through book dramatization. The Current Literature which is given during the last ten weeks surveys for the student those Twentieth Century writers that critics are standardizing. Some of the usable plays are staged entire and scenes from others are given. Those Twentieth Century Productions recommended for telling in the course of study, such as The Blue Bird, Peter Pan, Chanticleer, The Hour Glass, The Pot of Broth, A Message to Garcia, etc., are presented. The object of the entire English Course is to make the students efficient teachers and through them to make the children of the state efficient in English. 58 Rosa B. Parrott 5 THE NORM eg Eihrttrg 1' N ACCORD with the modern notion that the jj library is not a department of itself but an active organization that touches all depart- ments, the Oregon Normal School Library plans to meet the practical needs of instructors and students in all varieties of work. Its aim for students is help, both immediate and future. The library rooms are constant centers of eager stu- dents reading widely, doing reference work and availing themselves of the educational opportu- ' nities of the passing hour. Library work is con- tinually emphasized in all departments of the school, as well as in special courses designed to acquaint students with problems of school librar- Mable G' West ies, such as book buying, classification and knowledge of children's books. The equipment of the library is increased each year by at least a thousand dollars, so that the users are able to find fresh material and modern thought as well as standard works. Next year the material equipment will be largely increased by the creation of more commodious quarters in the Normal building and the provision for more adequate facilities for training school libraries. Thus, the efficiency of the whole library system will be greatly increased. The librarian, Miss Mabel G. West, who has practical supervision of the library and offers excellent courses in Library Methods, is largely responsible for the increased appreciation of good books and magazines as well as for the growing ability among the students to use a library exhaustively. These are good things which the students gain through the helpful guidance and sympathy of a trained librarian who emphasizes the living q'ualities of the modern library system. 59 5 THE NORM 3, Bepartment nt' ignuarhnlh Ernnnmira BY ORRIE E. STEINBERGE HALL we teach Household Economics in our schools? This is the question asked by normal school presidents, superintendents of schools and teachers. In America, at least, the home is the most important of all institutions. ln the little world of the home children are born and reared. In it they grow to manhood and womanhood. From it they go forth into the larger world and form their own home in which they grow old and die. The children receive the most important part of their education in the home. The character and the teaching of the home determines in a large measure their attitude toward all the other institutions and toward all the rela- tions of 'life. For most people the home is the beginning and end of life and all their activities proceed from it or return to it. Therefore, of all the arts those pertaining to home making are the most important and of all the sciences those which find their application in the home, making us more intelligent about the home and its needs, are the most significant. If the schools are to help us in the life we live they must provide for instruc- tion in these arts and sciences. Lately educators and teachers have become con- scious of this need and gradually the schools are being readjusted to fill the necessary requirements. The Normal is helping fill this need by offering two courses in Domestic Science. The first course embraces the classification, composition and properties, nutrition value, production and manufacture, adulteration and cost of the different food principles. The preparation and serving of simple, practical and economical dishes is one of the main features of this course. 60 Myra H. Butler 5 THE NORM TD In the second course more advanced work is done along the line of fancy cookeryg canning, preserving and pickling come in season. The management of the household as a whole, including proper architecture and furnishings of houses, household budget and laundering is emphasized. Dinners and luncheons which conform to a given cost and meet requirements of a balanced meal are served each semester. The largest dinner given this semester was in honor of Hon. H. C. Hawley, who did so much for the Normal in the last Legislature. The accompanying pictures show Nlr. Gentle in the act of decapitating the chickens and Miss Butler and the girls in the class making preparations for the same act. The Domestic Science Course is filling a long-felt need in that it prepares the students to handle the warm lunch problem of the rural school and gives them a general knowledge of the cooking and serving of foods. l l 6 l G THE NORM YD Hhgaira BY NELSON Rooms HE instruction in the science department of the I Normal is along the most practical lines. In Agriculture, Botany, Chemistry and Physics the non-essentials, or non-usable, facts are passed over with mere mention and the entire time is devoted to the things that will be of use to the teacher when he or she gets out of Normal and comes face to face with the practical, every-day world. Especially is this plan carried out in the teaching of Physics. There are parts of elementary Physics that can be used by the teacher almost every day, even in a rural school. Say, for instance, in the teaching of Geography and Agriculture, the teacher should know the laws of heat and light. Again, in this electric age, every teacher should know something of the laws of elec- tricity. Everywhere we turn we are compelled to deal with electricity in motion. The seventh and eighth grade boy or girl is none too young to begin to learn the elementary laws for handling it. In teaching electricity at the Normal very little time is given to the study of static, while the elements of electricity in motion are drilled and re-drilled until firmly fixed in the prospective teacher's mind. This is an industrial age, and to teach anything that is not in keeping with the times is a waste of time and energy. Elbert Hubbard has said a great deal in these few words: To carry brick from one side of the street to the other is not industry, because it lacks intelligent purpose. To think and make no headway is simply to carry brick back and forth. In the Physics department two days each week is given to laboratory work and each student is required to work twenty experiments a semester. This arrange- ment allows two hours for each experiment. The student assembles necessary apparatus, works the experiment and writes it up in his note book independent of the class. This method not only teaches the student to think independently but gives him the initiative to go ahead and do for himself as he will have to do the first morning he steps into his first school. Again, in the laboratory as well as the recitation, only the practical is empha- sized. A number of special experiments in electric work are given, laying stress on household electricity, such as the wiring in of lights, bells, etc. At the rate electricity is coming into general use, it will be but a few years until almost every home will be heated, as well as lighted, by electricity. It is also replacing steam on every hand. To prepare for this, every teacher should be more or less acquainted with the rudiments of electricity, is the belief of the head of the science department. 62 L. P. Gilmore G THE NORM 33 Erpartmrnt nf illluair MONG the most enjoyable and develop- mental courses which every Oregon Nor- mal student chooses, the course in Sight essential principles of music are worked out Reading and Methods is to be numbered. Here, in the Sight Reading class, the fundamental and in such a manner that every member is thor- oughly familiar with these basic facts. Then the reading of the do, re, mi's begins and this work acquaints us with the songs best adapted for grammar grade pupils and why. So, knowing the subject matter and the means of obtaining it, the methods ship is launched with Miss Hohan still its able captain to direct the how of teaching it. Every student teacher learns to feel the importance and influence of musical training. Along with this work a few weeks is taken for the study of orchestral instruments and for conducting at orchestral practices. In organizing an orchestra in onefs own school co-ordination and a keen sense of pride in their community is developed in the children which could never be taught from books. Thus, through personal enjoyment, some of the big lessons may be taught in this way by those teachers who have been so fortunate as to have had work along this line. While training the teacher leads on to training Oregon, still it is the daily chorus work done in chapel that extends music into all Oregon schools. There are some students who leave O. N. S. without having the above-mentioned courses, but there is never a student who leaves without having participated in the chorus work. While it seems rather a difficult task to organize a student body into a chorus, the results justify the labor. Three chapel periods a week are devoted to chorus work, after the exercises are finished. The very best of music is studied and it gives the teacher herself an idea of better and bigger things. A bit of sight reading is involved, also, and the old folk and patriotic songs, which everyone should know, are sung and re- sung until they are very familiar. In studying the more difficult numbers we first learn the music and then discuss the message which the composer wished to con- vey. Then in rendering it we endeavor to express these thoughts. So even the untrained music teacher has a great number and variety of songs at her disposal for use in her own school. , Mary Hoham l Which is the properest day to sing? Saturday, Sunday, or Monday?

So why should I name but one day? -HELEN OGSBURY. 63 5 THE NORM Tj Aaatatant in English ff HE NORMAL is considered by many people to I be a huge mill that takes in normal human beings and turns out austere and terrible per- sons whose whole aim is to feed unfortunate pupils on impossible-to-understand ologies and isms. But not sog the departments of science and method have their place, but do not crowd out literature. The literature of a nation is the gems of a nation's thought preserved in the most pleasing man- ner. The emotion of the romancer, the beauty, the joy and pathos of the poet, the wisdom of the essayist, are but reflections of the lives of the nation's people Laura Hall Kennon and find a chord of harmony in the mind of the present generation. In this day of the sensational nev.spaper and the oftentimes trashy best-seller, many children do not have their attention directed to sweet, wholesome, worth-while reading. To instill in the minds of those children an appreciation of literature is one of the pleasant privileges of the teacher. To present literature in an inviting way and to interpret the fine thought of authors, one needs to have studied them individually, in comparison with their contemporaries and in relation to public questions of their time. Such a study is offered in the Department of English and American Literature under the direction of Miss Kennon. Students leave the course with a feeling of kinship for the writers and a taste for pure, inspirational reading that is a splendid equipment for the instructors of children whose reading habits may be largely formed by the grade teacher. Technical composition and thought organization receive attention through theme-writing and students are given opportunity for oral expression through five-minute talks on selected topics. 64 5 THE NORM YD Tlhe ifftnral :Svrhnnl Eepetrtmrnt BY D150 COOPER HE American rural school is coming to be recog- I nized as the key to a very great social and eco- nomic problem. How to produce enough to clothe and feed the world, how to keep the manufac- turer busy, the merchant employed and making a profit on his goods, how to keep all of the industries alive and all labor employed, how to guarantee that the town's people may be happy and well fed and the country people happy, progressive, and contented, are all questions that are in the thinking of priest and poli- tician, publicist and banker, railroad president and sociologist, all people, in fact, who think while they M. S- Pittman labor, who study the past, measure the present and dream of the future. The more one thinks the more one must feel that a great productive, intelli- gent, progressively contented rural citizenship is necessary. That this rural citizen- ship may be guaranteed a suitable rural school must be guaranteed. This is the belief of Mr. M. S. Pittman, head of the Rural School Department, and he is giving himself in unstinted fashion to the study of this question. He believes that a teacher who understands her problem, and who is prepared to cope with it, is the solution to the problem. With this in view he offers work of three types during the second half of the Spring semester and the Summer school: First, a course in rural sociology and economics, that the teacher may see the social and economic situation before her, second, a course in rural school problems and methods to prepare the teacher for the everyday tasks of the school room, third, 21 course in rural supervision that the teacher may have a professional helper to assist her in mastering her difficulties and grow in her work. 65 5 THE NORM 5 filling Bag BY MARGARET I-IALVORSEN AY DAY is indeed a gala day in the Normal School history each year, and May l, 1915, was no exception to the rule. This day is always the biggest event of the year, for it is the time when class spirit runs highest and every effort is put forth by each class to win President Ackerman's beautiful loving cup. The work of the Physical Education Department, under the able supervision of Miss Taylor, is best ex- emplified on May l, for this is Gym Day, as none other during the whole year. For weeks beforehand numerous notices of meet- ings and practices, read from the chapel platform, indi- cated that every class was doing its best in prepara- tion for the great day. The faculty magnanimously gave way for one period each day, during the last week in April, in order that the practices might go on systematically. Even up to the last moment Friday night and early Saturday morning last preparations were being made. May Day morning, Freshmen, Sophomores, juniors and Seniors were all out early, putting on the finishing touches for the day's events. Promptly at 9 A. M. the various classes assembled to march around the campus to the tennis court, where they awaited the coming of the May Queen. Miss Beatrice Chaney, who was elected by the Student Body some weeks before, was a very beautiful queen with her elaborate ermine robes and pretty flowing hair. As the queen approached the throne, the Girls' Glee Club sang the Spring Song, her attendants danced before her and everyone bowed in homage as the ruler of the day ascended to her throne. Following this the court was cleared and then some of the Training Depart- ment children gave a very pretty drill. The Training Department greatly added to the morning's program by the execution of several attractive drills throughout the morning. Next came the usual May Day festival event, winding the May Poles. This is always very spectacular and as each class was costumed in its own colors, it was indeed attractive. Each class had its own pole, which was wound with the 66 Laura J. Taylor May Day G THE NORM TJ colors of the class, the Soph.-Fresh., green and yellowg the juniors, blue and white, and the Seniors, yellow and white. ' Following this, the usual parade was supplanted by the newer idea of the pageant. The Seniors very effectively represented the early history of Spain in America, the Juniors, in a series of three pictures, or scenes, first showing Cartier claiming the new world for France, next, the work of Marquette and the fur- traders, and lastly the life in Acadia, very cleverly and beautifully showed the early colonizations and explorations of the French. The Soph.-Fresh. closed the morning's events with a very pretty representation of early English life in America and the herald dismissed the assembled crowd until 1:30. Opening the afternoon's events came the tennis tournament. The game was a good one, and viewed with the keenest interest from start to finish. The junior team, Clarice Oakes and Ellen McDonald, carried off the honors for tennis. Following the tournament came volley ball, club swinging, folk dancing and relay race, all of which were well executed and showed admirably the work which has been done by the Physical Education Department. ' Late in the afternoon, when all of these events were over, the May Queen bestowed the honors of the day. The first place for the pageant was awarded to the juniors, and the other honors were awarded in such a way that, for the first time in the history of the school, there was a tie for the cup, the Seniors scoring thirty-three points and the juniors scoring thirty-three points. Under these cir- cumstances, the cup remained in the care of President Ackerman and each class alike could boast of its success. City Superintendent Elliot, of Salemg Miss Fanny Porter, of Portland, and Miss Charlotte Lewis, of the Department of Physical Education and Athletics at O. A. C., acted as judges, and they indeed had a very difficult time deciding between the classes, as each one carried out its part so well. ' The Polk County teachers had been invited, as well as the people of Mon- mouth and vicinity, and the crowd that assembled in the Normal Grove made one think of a Fourth of july celebration. A great deal of credit is due to everyone who helped to make the day the success which we all feel it was, and to Miss Taylor, who gave so generously and willingly of her time and energy, not only May Day, but also in preparing for the day. and helping to make it the best ever in the history of the school. 157 5 THE NORM D Bnrmiinrg T THE beginning of this semester the girls met and elected officers. Ethel Klann was chosen President, Belva Flanagan, Vice - President, Merle Stearns, Secretaryg Florence Fieldhouse, Treas- urer, and Augusta Kantz, Reporter. The office of Sergeant-at-Arms was left vacant, as we found no one big enough for the position. The new girls voted to abide by the so-called stern rules of this institution. As our dining-room always looks more attractive when we have fresh flowers on the table, the President appointed flower committees to attend to them during the rest of the semester. The names of the committees were posted on the bulletin board. Some of our girls have not been able to appear in public of late, owing to that dread affliction, mumps. Thanks to the faithful care of our matron, Miss Todd and their roommates, they have recovered. Since February our otherwise peaceful existence has been interrupted by changes of cooks, each of which has inflicted on us his peculiar hobby in the line of edibles. We are very much pleased with our latest ones and hope they will stay with us. The dormitory has sheltered many distinguished guests during the semester. The Ways and Means Committees of both the House and Senate lunched with us while considering the new Training School. Congressman C. W. Hawley lunched with us after delivering a splendid talk in chapel. The girls from Washington High School were very much pleased when Principal H. H. Herdman visited the school. Upon his arrival they met on the stairs and sang, Washington, My Washington. We all rejoiced, and our consciences were greatly soothed, when, in his talk in chapel, he said, Rules were made to be broken. One of our most delightful visitors was Mrs. Olson, of Portland. We greatly enjoyed the songs she so gen- erously sang. The most distinguished visitor we have had was Mary Antin. Her earnestness and vision appealed to all who came in contact with her, and we are glad to have had her with us. The time is near at hand when we shall have to part, some to return another year. What happiness for those who will return and greet again the old familiar faces, and strengthen the comradeship of this year's life! But with us who shall notucome back will be always the dear memory of the home that has played such an important part in our life at Normal. 68 jessica Todd Our Dormitory D J. HH WHON Q G THE NORM QD Elie Eiraiuiug Erpartmrnt ANY peo- ple out- side of a NormaISchool do n o t understand the use of a training depart- ment. Some of us who are on the inside, are not always clear in th e matter. There are heads of Normal d e- partments w h o do th e i r work wholly without any use of the training depart- ment. Still others make a l m o st constant' u s e of it in conducting their work. What then is the train- i n g department in a N o rm al . School? What is its work? How does it do that work? Does it p e r fo r m any of the legitimate work in teacher training? Might it be dispensed with without missing anything Thos. H. Gentle really worth while? Let us point out what appears to be the unique function of this department. We shall limit ourselves, to three factors of that function. 70 5 THE NORM 3 The training department of a Normal School bears the same relation to the whole institution that the hospital does to the medical schoolg or that the farm bears to the agricultural schoolg or the mock court bears to the law school. That is to say, the training school provides the opportunity for the student to realize some of the educational doctrine taught him elsewhere and in many cases to acquire some degree of skill in its use. In order to assist students in bringing their ideas of teaching and managing children to fruition a corps of critic teachers is provided. These are people who are more or less expert in the application of educational theory to the instruction of children. They also understand in addi- tion to the latter how to aid others in their work of teaching. They know how to criticize the work of the young student so that the student comes to realize his theories with the least loss of time and effort. That is, the critic safeguards both the student and the children under her charge. It will thus be seen that the critic teacher in a training school requires more training in order to do her work and must cover a wider field in her art than any other person in a Normal School with the exception of the President. Possibly no other persons so color the reputation of the Normal School as do the critics in its training department. They leave an indelible stamp upon the student, whether it is their will so to do or not. The training department has another function. This one, however, is not so thoroughly accepted as the one just pointed out even by Normal School people themselves. We have alluded above to the teaching of educational doctrine or theory by the professional departments of the Normal. lf rightly used, the train- ing school may, and in the Oregon Normal School does, serve an important end. Theory which a student grasps or extracts from actual school practice is thought to possess a greater value to the young teacher than theory presented to him orally or dogmatically by his instructor. So instead of telling his classes how to teach the instructor either shows the work through teaching classes of children from the training school himself or has his class observe the same as set forth by one of the critics. By building up his theory in this manner the Normal instructor keeps very close to the actual things which good practice can substantiate. He pre- cludes the possibility of criticism for being too theoretical. Normal Schools, how- ever, too often ignore or undervalue this second use of a training school and so it comes about that heads of departments in the Normal are often guiltless of any connection whatever with the part of the institution where their students touch the public. This second function of a training school will serve certainly to convince anyone open to conviction that such a school cannot be a typical district school. however much such a thing might be desirable from the standpoint of observation. ,The training school of the Normal has another important duty to perform. This one is used but little, but it deserves a much wider use. From time to time educational notions are advanced here and there about the country and because of their novelty or difficulty are not accepted by the mass of schools. The training department of the Normal should try out such proposals and report the results of the same. In other words, the training department should be an experimental school at times. However, on account of space we shall leave this third topic for a later consideration. If what has been said above aids someone to a clearer notion of the practice school, then these remarks will have paid for the space. 7l THE NORM Katherine Arburhnot Alice A. McIntosh Olive L. Dawson Suda Cahoon G THE NORM YD Ghz iKrgiztrar'z Gbiiire OO MUCH praise cannot be given Miss I Dunsmore for the skillful and masterful way in which the business affairs of the school are conducted. As Registrar she of course has charge of all tuition fees, also the student body and the lyceum course fees. She pays all bills contracted by the student body from the student body fund. She attends to the payrolls for all the employees of the insti- tution, which in itself is quite a task. It is to the Registrar that all the letters sent out from the school are dictated, including those most important of all letters-those of recommendation. Catalogs are sent out from this office to all prospective students. Here records are kept of all students-both present and Alumni, in- , t ' cluding their rades, their credits before enter- Kane R' Dunsmore ing school hetge, their home address, guardians' names, and perhaps their age. The bookkeeping done here is very simple, but with that simplicity which came from a thorough knowledge of good business methods added to the habit of being always perfectly exact. Then there are a thousand and one other little details connected with school office management which the Registrar must meet every day-such as answering telephone calls, informing someone whether or not the President is in or when he will be in, locating students in their respective classes when called for, and hundreds of others which would drive an ordinary person to distraction, but which the Regis- trar meets without the least sign of impatience, and with that sweetness which is so characteristic of her.

As I gazed I recalled my wandering fancy and discovered my visitor to be no other than the Delphian Sibyl. Her presence cheered and encouraged me, for I knew that she had come to impart to me something of moment concerning the Delphians, but seemed to be waiting for me to speak. Emboldened by her silence and encouraged by her hopeful expression, I found voice to ask, Will the extravagant hopes of our ambitious critic for the future of the society ever be fulfilled? She smiled assent, then waved her arm and, as though in a dream, I saw a great number of girls seated in a large and elegantly appointed society room, even though the faces were strange to me, I realized from the expectant look upon them that this was the evening for their Delphian program. As of old they were all there ahead of time, waiting with ill-suppressed anticipation for their program. In my mind, I commented upon the vast increase in numbers. The Sibyl, seem- ingly reading my thoughts, proudly announced that they were all Delphians. I saw a young lady rise from the President's chair and open the meeting. As the roll was called everyone rose and contributed to the evening's entertain- ment. The Sibyl said that the word present was now obsolete in the Delphian society. The first number was a vocal solo, by a soloist of renown. To my great delight I recognized the young woman and her accompanist as being a member of the class of '15 and '16 respectively. The Sibyl told me that often their worldly and accomplished members came back to the society at the Normal, as a pilgrimage of appreciation for former help. I listened to the remainder of the program with breathless interest mingled with amazement, which did not escape the Sibyl. You are saying these are not Normal students, but, children, you are mis- takeng these are Normal students giving one of those Model Primary Programs which were an innovation in 1915 and which proved so helpful that the innova- tion established a precedent and each year one is programmed. The scene shifted and again I saw the Delphians assembled. The President arose and announced that this was the Delphian Dramatic Club evening. My look of blank astonishment brought an explanation from the Sibyl. That is another innovation that has established a precedent. Miss Parrott felt that the members needed a wider knowledge of the modern drama, so sug- gested that while the miscellaneous programs were too helpful to discontinue, but to intersperse them with a dramatic evening. 77 5 THE NORM TD After this explanation I again turned to the stage where Zangwill's Melting Pot was being staged. I inquired where they had procured their wonderful stage settings. And was informed that they were the property of the Delphians. That borrowing and returning were not now a part of their worries. I reviewed the work of the year just past and realized how much we had accomplished and how much we have to carry away that will be of help to us in our school work. Then, when I saw what our beginnings had accomplished it gave me great encouragement to go on and to tell all Delphians what would be the result of their struggles. When asked if there were many of the new Oregon Normal School students asking to be admitted to the Delphian Society, the Sibyl replied, that there were more ask to be admitted to her care than could be accommodated. She also told me that she watched over the chosen ones and helped them to success whenever they strove in her behalf for her blessing. Before I could ask her more she had vanished, but l had learned enough to make me realize that to be a Delphian was an honor. Then: I-Iere's to our dear old Delphian Where we learn to act and speak, I-lere's to our worthy critic Whose council oft we seek, I-Iere's to the programs clever Which we hope some day to use. Yes, here's to good old Delphian, The society I'd always choose. 'Reading Table in Library 78 5 THE NORM P0 Heaprrtinr HE greatest dreams of those that organized the Vespertine Society, many I years ago, have been far excelled by the Vespertine Society of today. There are, now, about one hundred fifty members in the society, led by an able and enthusiastic President, Miss Kraemer. The name, Vespertine, means evening watch. All feel the influence of an evening spent in earnest society work, and are ready and willing to do their part, and make possible the fulfillment of the Society motto, Onward and Upward. An interesting feature of this semester's work was the printing of the pro- grams for each member of the society. As far as possible the Society colors were used. blue and gold. On the night of February twelfth, when many new members joined the society, the evening's program took the form of an initiation. Many clever and witty stunts were planned and performed. A delicious luncheon was served, and an opportunity was given everyone to become acquainted with the new members. February twenty-sixth, in keeping with the recent trip to Salem to visit the State Legislature, a mock Legislature was convened. Evidence of unusual talent along oratorical lines was shown. Because March twelfth was so near the birthday of the lrish Patron Saint, an Irish program was given, in which a typical Irish wedding was the main feature. The first joint program of the semester was the play, Polly of the Circus. This story portrays one of our twentieth century evils. Everybody loved and sympathized with Polly, and was glad when she won out. Miss Alley and Miss Kraemer, members of the Vespertine Society, took prominent parts in the play. The evening spent with the Children's Poets and Poetry was appreciated by all. We, sometimes, forget that there are many beautiful thoughts in the simple poems of childlife. Thoughts that we seldom find and, often, fail to appreciate in our more advanced reading. The minds and hearts of all were carried far away to the South land, in the next session of the Vespertine Society, when the farce, Away Down South in Dixie, was given. Perhaps, there is nothing that appeals more to the fun loving instinct in persons than a bit of humor from the South. A Night in Hawaii gave an example of home life in another country. Though we are surrounded by palm trees and hear soft guitar music, we feel that our own country is best after all. That Summer is here, was shown by the Cantata of the Flowers, given by the joint societies. We almost lived in dreamland while this was being given. Never, in Nature's wildest nooks, could we see more beautiful flowers than those in this cantata. Many thanks are due our critic, Miss Kennon, for her help in directing the Vespertine Society. 79 5 THE NORM To Nnrmala BY A. L. E. HE Normal Society was in full operation at the beginning of the semester. I On january 29, the following officers were elected and installed: Mr. B. White, Presidentg Mr. E. Houck, Vice-President, Mr. W. Cornwall, Secre- tary, Mr. R. Bowman, Sergeant-at-Arms, and A. L. Enlund, Reporter. The society has been fortunate in adding several new members to its ranks. Our semester's work has been very beneficial. Although it has not made polished speakers, it has made it possible for us to speak in public with greater ease. ln this way much good has been accomplished. Many of us, who at first had only stage fright, the one requisite of good speakers, have now become able to appear before an audi- ence and say what we have to say in the right way. And particularly during this semester, Parliamentary Order, from Alpha to Omega, has been strictly enforced. The knowledge gained along this line is immensely helpful to all. Often when our bark was about to be dashed upon the rocks by the heaving billows of parlia- mentary waters, there would come to our rescue Mr. Butler, our critic, with the divine hand that ruleth the waters. We feel largely indebted to him for the help he has rendered the society. He has stood by us through thick and thin. He is a friend that is well known. On the evening of March 26, the Normals participated in a joint meeting of the three societies. The play rendered was Polly of the Circus. To our ten members who graduate in june, and enter into their life's work, we extend an affectionate farewell. But in wishing them the best of fortunes in their progress along the pathway of life-worn smooth by the feet of myriads who have gone before, and yet ever new and wonderful to the pilgrim of today- we can invoke for them no better guidance, nor grander genii than the homely virtue of honesty, whose soul is Truth. 80 5 THE NDRM 3 Ellie nnng Mnmmfa Qlhriatian 2-Xaanriatinn HE Young Women's Christian Association has continued to hold its own I with the other organizations and activities of the school during the latter part of the Winter and Spring months. Regular weekly meetings, which have been changed from Wednesday to Monday afternoon to accommodate more girls, have been kept interesting through various speakers and special musical numbers, along with the usual lessons. The association year ended March 10, and at the annual election held at this time the following officers were chosen: Laura Bell, President, johannah Neilson, Vice-President, Bertha Hays, Secretaryg Alberta Porter, Treasurer. To work with these officers, the following committee chairmen were appointed: Dorothy Bengston, Meetings Committeeg Bernice Lloyd, Bible Study, Hazel Work- man, Conferenceg Gladys Pearson, Socialg Winona Rowland, Association News. The local conference of this district was held at Newberg March 26, 27, 28. This association was represented by the Misses Belle, Bengston, Hays, Porter, Neilson and Workman, all of whom reported most inspiring sessions under the leadership of Miss Fox, Miss Blanchard and Dr. Marcott, as well as other speakers. Sunday, April ll, a special service was held in the chapel to arouse interest and enthusiasm in the Summer conference to be held at Seabeckt, Washington, june 23 to july 3. A report of the conference held last Summer at Cohasset Beach by one of the delegates, Miss Morril, showed much of the benefit and inspiration to be derived from such a gathering. Pictures shown, with the lantern, of the conference life in various parts of the United States also made one wish to spend part of her vacation amid such beautiful scenes and inspiring compan- ions. Our Y. W. C. A. expects to have a representation of five at Seabeckt this Summer, and every effort is being put forth to raise sufficient funds to do this. On the whole we feel that our work has been carried on very successfully this year and that we have secured results. With five members with us next Fall full of interest from the conference at Seabeckt we are looking forward to another year of even greater achievements than this one has been. - 81 5 THE NORM Alumni ql'OUlS CONNER is teaching in Milwaukee.

'VAST FALL when the call came, All juniors who have played basketball or ii who wish to play meet in gymnasium at four-thirty today, it was met by an enthusiastic response. Miss Minnie Morrill was appointed by Miss Taylor to coach us. After several weeks of hard practice we were told the team would be picked, for we were to play the Seniors. Miss Taylor and Mr. Gilmore after watching the girls play, selected the team, consisting of Jean Anderson and Gladys Pearson, forwards, Clarice Oaks and Dorothy Burdsal, guardsg Madeline Harrison played side center, with Edythe Doubner jumping center. Edythe Doubner was elected captain of the team. The game with the Seniors was to be on Friday afternoon. With our two forwards having gained the reputation of being the fastest forwards that ever played in this school we had a chance of winning. After forty minutes of play, that would be a credit to any team, the game ended in a tie, 8 to 8. The second game with the Seniors saw a change in the junior line-up. Hall, a fast substitute, taking Anderson's place, as Anderson was unable to play. Hall played as well as could be expected of anyone, but try as they did, could not break the luck and the team had to be contented with another tie, 14 to 14. With a determination to win or lose, the junior team went into the third game with a spirit that carried the Seniors off their feet, wrote defeat over their faces, and ran up a score of 2l to 5. The defeat was too much for the Seniors and they also lost the fourth game by a large score. With the last game went the championship of the school to the Juniors for 1914 and 1915. Thanks to the faithful work of our coach, hard work of the team and the help of the second teamn-for without their help we could not have won the title. 86 O THE NORM D Work, Rogers, Boughman, Brumbaugh. Burkhead 5 THE NORM iD Enga Eatakrihall HE Normal basketball team ended the season by proving the old proverb I that a bad beginning always brings a good ending. The three games that were played this semester all resulted in a decided victory for O. N. S. First, they trounced the local high by the score of 66 to 19. ln the second game of the Spring semester, they defeated Philomath College to the tune of 30 to 13. Both of these teams had previously beaten the Normal on their floors early in the season. The season was brought to a close with a game with Wil- lamette University Seniors. This was really the fastest game of the season. However, the home team was never in danger. The score was 31 to 13. Ranie Burkhead was the only man on the team who had played with the Normal before. He held down one of the forward berths and was always in the game. Before entering Normal, Ranie played with the local high. Glen Work, the other forward, was the biggest point getter on the team. He played in every game and was well worthy of the position of captain. Glen had played several years on the local town team. Frank Brumbaugh hailed from Cottage Grove High, where he had held down the center position for four years. Had it not been for the bad luck Brummie had in the early part of the season, the season would no doubt have been a real success. Everybody is glad that he will be with us another year. Roy Bowman held down one of the guard positions in great style. This was Roy's first year at basketball and we are all sorry to see that he is a Senior and will leave us in june. He went from Fall City High to O. A. C. and came from there here. Nelson Rogers took his first lessons in basketball at Philomath College. Two years ago he was manager of the P. C team and held down a guard position. Strange to say, he was elected manager and given a guard berth on the 'O. N. S. team. He, too, will be back for at least one semester next year. N.

G THE NORM TJ Glu man Mba Mina 1' T is a law of the physical world that in every machine there is always a certain jj amount of wasted energy called friction, and the more powerful the machine the greater the friction. To a certain extent each of us is a machine and from birth to death we have to overcome resistance or be overcome by itq for if continual power is not added to a machine friction will soon stop it. To everyone who is born into this world there are two definite paths open: the path of the greatest resistance and the path of the least resistance. The one path is rough with apparently insurmountable obstacles presenting difficulties, sharp angles and acute turns which try the real temper, develop all the latent power and require the stern will of him who travels therein. The other is smooth and level, presenting the least resistance to the human machine which finds itself in it. Those who have made the greatest success in life have been those who have had to overcome the greatest resistance. In overcoming this resistance they have had many and severe criticisms hurled at them. But judging from the lives of great men they are like apple trees-the better the fruit the more clubs are thrown at it, the greater the man, the more obstacles he has overcome. john Greenleaf Whittier, one of the most interesting writers of American poetry, disregarding the prospects of wealth, spent about thirty years of his life writing pamphlets and verses to overthrow slavery, which he saw was the curse of the nation. He was scorned and severely criticised, yet he labored in spite of poverty and calumny until he saw a race set free. Then he turned his attention to literature. Whittier said, I set a higher value upon my name as appended to the anti- Slavery Declaration of 1833 than on the title page of any book. On the other hand if a man's chief ambition is to keep himself in chewing tobacco, there is no friction except between himself and a drygoods box. This story is told of a rag man who visited a farmer's house. Among thelworn-out clothing purchased was a pair of old overalls. I see, said the rag man to the farmer, who was sitting on the front porch, that your farm is mortgaged. Well I should say it is, was the mournful reply, how did you guess it? Why, these overalls are all worn out in the seat. There are today sixty thousand men in the United States who are counting the railroad ties by day and sleeping with the rats at night, because they saw in their young days a steep and rocky road ahead and turned to an easier one. There are others today, who instead of walking the railroad are uniting all parts of the world with its iron bands, others are harnessing the powers of nature, still others have trained themselves for the work of lifting their fellow-man. 92 5 THE NORM Q5 These men when they came to that steep and rocky road set their teeth and scrambled on. A man's attitude towards resistance in this world shapes his destiny. He must be able to meet adversity as well as to bear the honors of success, for it is easier to win success than to use it. Only a few men can stand prosperity. He must travel through life in places where there are bumps and friction as well as in the smooth road. Two men look from their window at the beginning of a new dayg the one sees sunshine, the other sees mud. Two men are working for wagesg the one sees in his work a chance to serve humanity. He looks upon his employer as a man who is helping him to support himself and family and he is grateful. The other regards all labor as drudgery. He uses his 'shovel for a prop and with his eyes he watches the sun. He regards his employer as a hard master and himself a slave. In the evening he loves to sit in the grocery store and shout about Capital, Labor and rotten governmentq and when he leaves for home, buys five cents' worth of bread and fifty cents' worth of tobacco! These two classes represent the optimist and the pessimistg the one goes through the world eating the doughnut-the other the hole. Then why should a man despise work? The millionaire with all his ease and luxury seems to be leading a life of satisfaction, but every man knows deep down in his soul, that it is the life of service and only the life of service that really satisfies. And no man wants to leave this world with the debit side of his life- book full and nothing on the credit side. A horse must work if he pays for his keep and he has many hard pulls! Did you ever hear of a horse grumbling? A gopher must dig if he makes way in the world, and he has a dirty job. Even a germ must get busy if it accomplishes anythingg and why should wealth keep a man from working? With the blessings of money a man may devote his life to research, science, and the betterment of societyg things for which the wage-earner has not the time, but by which he is benefited. The three great social problems which must be settled by men who have the time to devote to them are the Negro question, the despair of the Southg the legalized saloon which is tearing down the physical and mental manhood of the nationg and the Labor question, which all of us have to face. The friction which exists between Capital and Labor is increasing each year, and a compromise must be made. Surely here is a field for the man of means to labor in, and too few labor. Men are praised or censured by the world for what they accomplish, not for how hard they try. This attitude is unfair for since no man can get more out of a machine than he puts into it. The same law holds good to a large extent among meng in other words, all men are not born equal. One boy may have that tired feeling because his father had itg another may have inherited ambition. One boy 93 C, THE NORM Q3 may always be at the foot of the class because his grandfather held that position, and he is satisfied to inherit itg another learns rapidly because his parents had spunk enough to get an education. Now Uncle Sam is helping future generations by compelling the present generation to go to school. But of all traits that may be inherited, ambition ranks among the first for this is the trait that overcomes resistance. If a man is born sickly, ambition will drive him to observe the laws of nature in order to become healthyg if he is born in poverty, ambition will drive him to seek an education that he may not remain poor. But what if a man would fail after all. Perhaps he may face opposition and fight to a finish, yet fail in his purposes. However, that is no disgrace, for he only is a failure who does not try. History tells us of many a man who has spent his life in grinding toil and who has gone to a hopeless grave believing himself to have lived in vain. The world has pointed the finger of scorn and said, There lies a failure. Time passes. The results of his labors are revealed-the world reaps the harvest from the seed he has sown. That same world that ridiculed him now puts his name in the Hall of Fame. The only well rounded life is the one that has overcome, the one that has met the issues squarely-the one who has played the game honestly and to whom friction is but a spur, believing in the truth of the poet who says, xi There are loyal hearts, there are spirits brave, There are souls that are pure and true, Then give to the world the best you have, And the best will come back to you. at Give love, and love to your heart will flow, A strength in your utmost need, Have faith, and a score of hearts will show Their faith in your word and deed. is For life is the mirror of king and slave, 'Tis just what you are and dog Then give to the world the best you have, And the best will come back to you. By E. H. 94 5 THE NORM 3 liven nn the S'unng-Sine 4' T was the very hottest day of a very hot summer. Everybody was trying to jj keep in the shade, even the dogs, and on the streets only one or two could be seen, with tails drooping disconsolately, seeking the scanty shade of the fences. jimmy, his red hair standing up aggressively through the broken crown of his straw hat, was the only busy person fat least he thought sob in an otherwise lazy town. jimmy, and his mother appeared at the kitchen window, you get to work at them berries. They've got to be picked and put up this afternoon. It's two o'clock already and you're only half done. Yes'm, jimmy mumbled obediently, as he took a fresh grip on a handful of berries, thereby reducing them to a jelly-like consistency. jimmy had been picking blackberries ever since noon, when his mother had suddenly discovered that they were so ripe they must be cared for at once. He hadn't minded so much theng the sun had been on the other side and he had warbled quite happily, Keep on the Sunny Side, but now-it was too warm even to sing, and as for keeping on the sunny side, why he would give his new jack knife if he could be with the fellers down at the swimming hole. Wouldn't it be great, he thought, to go swimming and then take his fishing rod and go farther up the stream. There was a dandy place, which he had found yesterday. It was cool, shady and deep there, just the place for trout. jimmy pondered on this matter for some time and the more he thought about how cool the water would be, the warmer it seemed to grow to him. IVlrs. Franklin! Oh, Mrs. Franklin! and Mrs. johnson, who lived next door, appeared on her back porch. Yes, answered jimmy's mother, as she came to the door. Come over and see how nicely my berries jelled. All right. jimmy, she called, you have those berries all picked by the time I come back. jimmy watched his mother disappear into the house next door. Guess I'll just sort of stroll down that way, he thought, and see what the fellers are doin'. He dropped the bucket, half full of berries, secured his fishing pole and a can full of fish worms, concealed beneath a convenient bush, and hurriedly took his departure. But jimmy was not destined to reach the swimming hole unmolested. just as he was beginning to feel safe from observation, he heard his mother call, jimmy. jimmy did not pause but kept straight on. jimmy, his mother called again, you come right back here. What do you mean by running off in that fashion? 95 5 THE NORM 53 Come back now and finish pickin' those berries or I'll have your father tend to you tonight. jimmy hesitated. Should he go on? Visions of his father's displeasure forcibly expressed deterred him. To finish picking the berries was equally impos- sible. In his dilemma, he suddenly remembered. Only last night he had heard his father talking about sunstrokes and how they affected people. Yes, he would do it. jimmy reluctantly turned this mother was watching himjg he took a few faltering steps, threw up his arms wildly, fell, and lay perfectly still. Ten minutes later jimmy was lying on the bed in the best bedroom. He had just consented to come to. When he opened his eyes, he saw his mother and Mrs. johnson bending anxiously over him. How do you feel, jimmy? his mother asked. Kind of funny, he answered, faintly. Well, the doctor will be here in a few minutes, and he'll fix you up all right. jimmy looked frightened. He hadn't counted on the fact that his mother would send for the doctor. If the doctor saw him it would be all off. He might just as well have gone fishing. He would catch it now, anyway. just leave me alone until the doctor comes, will you? he asked his mother. My head buzzes so and it's worse when you talk. Poor boy, his mother murmured, as she and Mrs. johnson left the room. As soon as the door was closed, jimmy was up. The best bedroom was on the ground and at the back of the house. He knew his mother and Mrs. johnson were out in front watching for the doctor, so he had no fear of being discovered, as he dropped from the window and went out the back way. He found his fishing rod and canful of worms where he had left them. This time jimmy did reach the swimming hole and as he dived and swam around, not one thought of what he had done entered his head to mar his pleasure. Later. he took his fishing rod and sneaked off to the deep pool which he had found. In fact, jimmy spent a very pleasant afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed himself. It was growing late, the sun had already sunk below the horizon, when jimmy suddenly remembered he had a home and fond parents waiting for him. Mr. and Mrs. Franklin were standing in the doorway of their home when they saw a little boy coming slowly up the street. The little boy had read hair which showed through the broken crown of his hat, and he had a great many freckles. H: was carrying a fishing rod and three extremely small fish strung on a slender sapling. Mr. and Mrs. Franklin gazed at him and recognized their son. jimmy approached hesitatingly. A-hem, he said. His parents did not answer. Er-say, Ma-l brought you some fish. So I see, answered his mother. 96 5 THE NORM 73 The conversation lagged. jimmy looked at his fish. His father and mother looked at him. jimmy, his father said, I have decided not to whip you any more. Your mother and I have agreed to let you punish yourself. You know those blackberries will have to be picked again in the morning. You may come in now and eat your supper. And an adoring, grateful little boy entered the house. Early the next morning, jimmy kept an important engagement with some blackberry bushes. .. N:-',Q.z ',-. wvfv ,, . .' . - 9 -1 .. -2 Q-if l'fgi'f5'5:::?:q'C2?-5'T?13 9: L , L-Q-...Q-.1..'

GENTLE represented the faculty at chapel period December 18, reading for his chapel talk an original story written by him, The Halleck's Christmas. State Representative lrving of Lincoln and Polk Counties, State Senator Hawley of Polk County, and State Senator Smith of Coos and Curry Counties, each talked to the students during the chapel assembly of December I7. Mr. Gilmore, head of the Science Department, gave a very interesting talk at chapel period on january 15. Mr. Gilmore took as his subject, What a Teacher Should Know About the Water Supply, and handled the subject in a very inter- esting and practical manner. The student body gave a dance and a party on the night of january 16. They were both well attended and all reported a very pleasant evening. President Ackerman called a special chapel assembly january 17 in honor of Miss Marion Towne, the first woman to be a member of the Oregon Legislature. Miss Towne gave a very interesting greeting to the faculty and students that showed her interest in the Normal School and its work. Mr. Pittman responded, extending the gratefulness of the school to Miss Towne. Miss Etta jordan represented the Senior ll class on january 19. She gave the last chapel talk that was given by that August Body. The student body held its semi-annual election january l9, choosing the follow- ing officers: President, Mr. Rainie Burkheadg Vice-President, Miss Louella deLanog Secretary, Miss Merle Stearns, Treasurer, Miss Gladys Pearsong Editor, Mr. Frank Brumbaughg Business Manager, Mr. Arthur Burkhead, and Sergeant-at- Arms, Mr. Robt. johnson. The third number of the lyceum course was the concert given by Mr. David Campbell, pianist, and Mrs. Delphian Marx, contralto. Mr. Campbell is a Monmouth boy, and the eminent success which he has achieved is a source of great gratification to his many Monmouth friends. january 22 was the occasion of a visit from Supt. Boetticher, of the Albany city schools. He delivered a practical and inspiring address to the student body during the assembly period, taking as his subject, What a City Superintendent Expects in an Applicant for a Position. 98 5 THE NORM Q3 january 27, 1915, will be long remembered by those of the Oregon Normal School as all were well entertained by a visit of the Ways and Means Committee of our Senate. The committee was composed of Senators Day, Ragsdale, LaFollet, Smith, Hawley, Burgess and Wood. They took the time of the chapel period where each gave some very interesting words. They were accompanied by Mr. Plummer, of Portland. The Glee Clubs entertained the students and faculty, the assembly period of january 29. On january 30, the Student Body gave a party-dance. The first part of the evening was given to games, after which a program was rendered. After the program refreshments were served and the remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. Professor Gray, head of the Rural School Department of the Cheney Normal School, was at chapel on the morning of February 2, and gave us a very inspiring talk. Miss Green represented the faculty at chapel Friday morning, February 4. Miss Green took as her subject, Seeing the Beautiful. Her talk contained six reasons for teaching drawing in the public schools, which are as follows: flb To train observation, QZJ To train the hand, Q33 Stimulates imagination, Q45 lt gives originality in creative abilityg f5J It gives a new mode of expression, and C65 lt develops a new capacity for enjoyment. On February 5 was held the Oratorical Tryout to see who should represent the school at the Intercollegiate Oratorical contest. The seven students who con- tested for the place were as follows: Ernest Houck, Lyda McCarthy, Claud A. Arehart, Frances Bartlett, Wilbur Cornwell, Beulah Balderee, and Ellen McDonald. Mr. Houck won first place wiQ1MMissmBartlett a close second. The Ways and Means Committee of the House of Representatives spent the forenoon at the school, February 8. The party consisted of Representatives Cobb fchairmanj, Pierce, Elmore, Clark, and Wagner. They used the chapel period, where each gave a short talk to the students and faculty. On the afternoon of February 8, Mr. O. H. Benson, of the Agricultural Depart- ment, gave an illustrated lecture on Agriculture and Our Public Schools. He showed how important Agriculture is to our public schools. Miss Hoham represented the faculty on February 12. Miss Hoham took for her subject, The Art Song, and after a brief discussion of the Art Song and its place in music exemplified her talk by explaining and singing several numbers. i 99 5 THE NORM 3 Qualities Demanded of Teachers Under Modern Conditions was the subject of Mr. H. H. Herdman, Principal of the Washington High School, Portland, who gave a talk during the morning assembly period of February l9. Representative Collins of Columbia County especially favored the student body and faculty when he expressed to them the satisfaction that he had had as a member of the Legislature in helping to increase the efficiency of the school by an additional building. The professional history class, under the direction of Mr. Butler, presented on Washington's birthday a typical program suggestive of the day. The Normal School was treated to some unexpected pleasures on February 23, arising from the visit of Mr. L. A. Ostien to his brother, H. C. Ostien, head of the department of mathematics. Mr. L. A. Ostien, during the past eight years, has been superintendent and manager of an extensive rubber plantation in Southern Mexico. Mr. Ostien's talks on Mexico and its people were fascinatingly interesting to the student body and faculty alike. He gave four or five special talks along these lines, besides two assemblies. February 24, the Senior class was represented by Miss Ethel Klann, who told a very interesting story, The Boy Mechanic of Bear Creek, depicting the success- ful efforts of a teacher to interest a boy of talent along vocational lines. At chapel period on February 26, Miss Kennon took for her subject, Some of the Lesser Pleasures of Life, showing the greater possibilities that lie within the reach of each of us. At this same period the Seventh Grade of the training school recited in concert, The Arsenal at Springfield. Miss Irene DeArmond represented the Seniors at chapel March 9. She took as her subject, Unionism and the Laborer. Her talk was much enjoyed by the audience. The faculty was well represented on March I2 when Miss McIntosh' took for her subject Spelling With the aid of her seventh grade pupils, she gave as a practical demonstration a model lesson in spelling as handled in the training department. At the morning assembly of March I7, Miss Marguerita Andrews,.of the Senior class, spoke on The Pioneers of Oregon, tracing in a brief, interesting way the complete history of Oregon. The Festivals of japan is the title of a story told in assembly by Miss Beulah Balderee on March 24. Miss Balderee represented the Senior class. Mr. Ostien was the faculty representative March 26. He gave us a very profit- able talk, taking for his subject, Some Teachers l Have Known. 100 5 THE NORM TJ Miss Beatrice Chaneay was the Senior class representative at the chapel March 31, taking for her subject, The Alaska Indian. The Safety First Movement was the subject of the splendid chapel talk given to the assembly of April 7, by Miss Edna Dammon. Hon. W. C. Hawley, U. S. Representative of Northwestern Oregon, at Washing- ton, D. C., delivered a very inspiring address during the assembly period of April 9. Mr. Hawley took for his subject, How an Appropriation is Passed by the House of Representatives, and his portrayal of the inside workings of that body gave the students a clearer insight of the great work being done than they may ever get again, as Mr. Hawley knows first hand information. The day of April 9 was a red letter day at the Normal School, for on that date the junior class had their day. The class gave a Miniature Panama Pacific Exposi- tion which represented the faculty and students visiting the Exposition. Miss Ada Farmer represented the Senior class at chapel April 14, choosing for her subject, Hurry and Worry. Miss Farmer gave many things worth remembering. Mr. Pittman represented the faculty at assembly period on Friday, April 23, taking as his subject, A Great Man. Mr. Pittman outlined the life of Booker T. Washington, showing how a man can overcome great obstacles when of the right m61'fl6. Miss Force gave a very interesting talk on Oregon Pride and Oregon Pioneers when she represented the Senior class at the chapel period of April 28. There are six tryouts to be held for chapel talks, but our paper is due at the printer's office, and the next issue will tell who are successful. Axel Skovgaard, the Danish Violinist, was the second number on the lyceum course for the second semester. Mr. Skovgaard has the fine qualities of interpreta- tion that come only to those who have spent much time in study and practice. ln leaving the best until last we will not forget the many inspirations that come from President Ackerman's helpful talks. Although they are intersperced through many weeks and of many subjects, the students will find if they follow up the many suggestions thrown out they will be teachers who will fit into the complexities of their environments. l cannot allow this to go to press without adding Mr. C. L. McCarthy's name to those who have represented the Senior class in chapel talks. Mr. McCarthy is the first member of the male sex to represent the Senior class this school year. He took for his subject, Our japanese Question, which was handled in a very interesting manner. He appeared at the chapel period of May 5. 101 Z X, 2.

BORHNELL 'IS THE NORM Uhr fllllumpa The mumps they did descend on us, In March-that was the time, The teachers all did make a fuss, And said it was a crime. One came to school with puffy jaws, And never said a word, And most do think he is the cause This trouble has occurred. On each new day some child was out With this fine swell affair, The teachers they did sit and pout, 'Cause mump germs filled the air. lt was no use to work ahead, In lessons we all need, For some were always sick a-bed, Or passing on the deed.
