26 THE NORM 1919 A Qbualitimtinn Nrrwaarg fur at Fbfearhern ONE HUNDRED words-Ah, me! That might not be so difficult. But how shall I proceed? Let me see. I might begin thus: A wee, winsome lass, or a delightfully demure maid. It won't do, however, both are worn out expressions, and would be dubbed as such by the Department of English. Permit me to start again. A ' The soft rays of the setting sun cast their glorious effulgence over Room ZZ where seated at her desk was the dispenser of wisdom and justice ffor-the sake of euphonyj. Sud- denly, there appeared at the threshold a vision of loveliness, aloveliness enhanced, perhaps, by the reflected light of the yellow shades, or perchance the bright beauty of the wonderful daf- fodils with which the room is decorated. The young lady approaches the desk with an ease and grace of manner, somewhat to be marveled at, considering her mission. The stern arbiter of wisdom and justice Ceuphony againj looks up from her pile of papers in a manner decidedly foreboding to a seeker of favors. However, before she has a chance to sound a warning, the young lady begins: Oh! Miss M-, I have such a pleasant surprise for you. The rest of the Faculty are on to it, but we are going togive you the specialprivilege of selecting anything you wish,-and it's only a hundred words or so, and it need not be in before Monday. Isn't that nice? And before I realize what I am saying, I reply: just splendid, believe-me. Tact has been defined as ability to do the right thing, at the right time and in the 'right place. A neces- sary qualification for any prospective teacher. I A ALICE A. McINTosH. Principal Monmouth Training School. P. S.-This is not an apology, but just an explanation.

IT IS ONLY through frequent repetition extending over a long period of time that any fact or processacan be firmly fixed in the mind. ' - V If a child is interested, he will attend. If he attends, he will -acquire. Every child is a child of nature, a child of humanity and a child of God. Write upon wood or stone and it will crumble to dust. Write upon gold or brass and time will efface it. Write upon the heart of a little child and you write uponthat which will shine throughout all eternity. Where there is no judgment exercised upon the part of the child there can be no edu- cationalvaluef' I , ' - ' A . i There is waiting somewhere down in the future years, the man and the woman which it is possible for every boy and every girl-in Oregon to become. Shall I as a teacher do my part that the boy and girl of today may bring to that man and that woman of the future, a trained mind, a brain unspoiled, a nervous system true in its response to the life and truth about him on every hand, or shall that man and that woman of the future, lose his inheritance, before he has had an opportunity to touch it?

Enthusiastic Workers, Student Teacher Street, - Ambition City, the World, S THE FUTURE so rosy, so brightly shining that you are a little dazzled and nervously afraid? If your mile-posts are firmly planted, be of good cheer, and cling to them through the storms which may sweep over you. But before you step out on the broad fields of service be a wise virgin. Count every guide-post and be sure you have not overlooked Depend- ability, the safest of anchorages, nor Sincerity, which -makes you loyal, kind and just. And did you forget Poise which comes from self-confidence through right living, good dressing and knowledge of social customs? Ah! There at the very end is Cheerfulness, which is so contagious and encouraging. You may not see it if your shoes are so short and h.igh heeled, nor if your eyes are dulled with lack of sleep and improper food. Watch out that these mod- est posts are not overshadowed by the flaming Salary. Dear Normal Graduates-To-Be: Service! ls not that your watch-word? Is that not the aim of every earnest individual? How can we give our best? By doing that which most closely relates to the success of the home influence on the children. First in importance is always the mother, but second in power is the educator. The most inspiring thing in the glorious Springtime when the buds are un- folding to a new life is the realizationthat a fresh band of enthusiastic, well-trained teachers of high ideals is ready to step out on the highway of service leading to a sure uplift of man- kind. You are the budding leaders! It is yours to decide what the harvest shall be. You will be true, won't you? With outstretched hands, I welcome you to one of the most satisfying of the professions. Cordially yours, 4 ' A Miss CHASE, Department of Domestic Science and Art. APOET penned my thoughts for me when he said, If you have air castles in the air, that is where they ought to be. But be busy putting solid foundations under them. Do you have air castles? My hopes are that you have. Keep the castles in the air, because the higher they are the more earnestly you will strive to attain them. May they all be realized. Friends, it's up to you. - MAMIE RADABAUGH. Critic, 5th and 6th Grades, Monmouth. IF I WERE to offer a bit of advice, the best, to my way of thinking, would be to keep on keeping on. The person you may become is away ahead on the road to the Future, beckon- ing to you. See to it that he isn't disappointed. MAY Lrsvrs, Asst. Dean of Women.
