O NORMAL, be thy spirit strong and pure, r Like broad Willamette flowing down alone, U As onward ever onward it is thrown To gain the strong Pacific as its lure, ' The goal for which it bendeth all aside, Its shifting banks and fairy, green-like isle, It trav'leth to the ocean mile on mile, Presenting wealth untold, it e'er doth glide. - . May thy ideal ever high and true To future students, as it was of old, ' A guiding spirit ever brighter be, As in the gleam of early morning dew. May thus the hopeful prophecy be told, Of gladness, joys and glessings, all for Thee. I MRS., GLADYs BOISE STOMBAUGH, Dept. of Public Speaking and English.

Not onl to the irls of W P gy rv Y, Y, . g , Y g , the Oregon Normal School but to the girls everywhere, who have arisen and are coming forward to meet the needs of the present as well as future generations. - Through my association with the students of the Oregon Normal, there has been unfolded to me, more and more, the value of education and the need for the widest interpretation of its meaning. Education with a soul in it, as one of our speakers told us. To watch the gradual giving away of old ideas and the adoption and appreciation of the progressive era in school affairs, as elsewhere, has been an inspiration. With greetings to The Norm and a prophecy of success for the graduates of the Oregon Normal School, I am , IDA H. HOLMES, . Department of Mathematics. IN ANSWER to the unspoken thought of the moment a silent witness of my dilemma for something to write about, urges, Speak your keen pleasure in things western. And why not? I am sure I radiate it continually. Even the everlasting rain has failed to quench my enthusiasm for it. To be able to leave your furs in their tar-paper wrappings during what is usually termed winter, to pick violets on Christmas day, to waken to the song of the lark in january when you had not expected his serenade until juneg to display in extravagant profu- sion such beautiful flowers from local gardens that the Middle Western friends would think you are on the mailing list of the city florist-all this is surely worth a record in the annals of a Badger. MARIE SCHUETTE, Department of Music.

22 THE NORM 1919 SPRING time in this lovely valley brings to mind these lines fromjuliet Wilbur-Tomkins 'fFor All These :, E ' , ' ' ' ' V 'S I thank Thee that- the sight of 'sunlit lands and dipping hills, f The breath of evening grass- ' And wet, dark rocks and flowers in my hands Can give me daily gladness as I pass. I thank Thee that I love the things on earth- ' Ripe fruits, and laughter lying down to sleep, The shine of lighted towns, the graver worth . Of beating human hearts that laugh and weep. MARGARET ANDERSON, Department of Art. Zlnninr Gllaaa Bag MARCH 28, 1919 Dedicated to the Service Flag -To the men who helped in the great war. Yours was the faring forth on the way, Yours was the daring- Cost what it mayf' Yours was the sharing the brunt of the fray, . With never a thought of glory. Ours is the glowing of pride for your part, Ours is the showing of tears that will start, Ours is bestowing mete praise from the heart, A . , And honor in song and story. I LAURA JL TAYLOR.

24'i I THE NoRM 1.919 I Efhe Mreatvat fIKnral 1Hrnhlem wfHEN statistics show that 50 per cent of .our 125,000,000 boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 18 are physically defective, and that more of the defective children are found in the country than in the city, our task is clearly before us. It becomes the patriotic duty of every teacher to work to focus attention upon the conditions that exist, in order to create-a health consciousness in her community which will establish a standard for human physical per- fection comparable to what the thoroughbred is among the farm animals. . When such Ia standard has been established physical imperfection will not be tolerated. The problem of ruralhealth has been taken up for 'study in each of the three rural train- ing schools, and remarkable results have been achieved 'in the improvement of the general health of the children and in the community attitude toward health. A close correlation has been found between the improvement of health and the improve- ment of school work. This is partially due, no doubt, to the regularity of school attendance which good health has made possible, as well as to the increased, vitality which has put vigor into their work. , A MRS. M. C. CURRAN, ' , Head of Rural Department. They asked me a piece to write To publish in the Norm. ' And said to write on anything I Except about the Dorm. So I sat down-with thoughts sublime, And tried to put them down, And thought to make an honor mark In this little country town. I rattled on for pages r Of flowers and trees and birds, Then showed it to the editor l Who said, We need just fifty wordsf' And so my hopes were broken, No moreimy thoughts took form, I And now the only thought I have Is-fGreetings to the Norm. , V ' ALLIE F.
