Well, the price the board's a payin' Ought to get us something right. Yes, I think she's awful pretty, And her clothes have lots of style, And the tales she tells are witty, But you ought to see her smile. Why, she goes out-doors and races And plays ball and tennis, toog And we hate to show our faces, 'Cause she does what we can't do. Yes, we get our lessons better Than we ever did before, 'Cause we'd be so 'shamed to let her Think our brains was awful pore. The girls are all a sayin' Since she came to teach our school That they'd better all be layin' i For to learn to ply the rule. The boys are all a braggin' That they'll set the world afire, And there aint atone that's beggin' 'Cause he wants to go up higher. - Now the kids are all a sayin' Since our teacher came that day That they're goin' to take to prayin' That she'll never go away. KATHARINE ARBUT1-mor, Principal Independence Training School. Grow old along with me, The best is yet to beg The last for which the first was made, And so with the Norm. Welcome back again afteryour years of absence. May you continue to make your visits to us each year in the future as you have in the past. Old friends will greet you with pleasure and assurance, the new ones with joy and expectation. So welcome, 1919 Norm! i KATE L- HOUX, Critic, 5th and Gth. Grades, Independence.

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?

28, THE NORM 1919 Efraining Srhnnl In the town of Independence, In the village by the river, a Stood the schoolhouse of the,Normal, , Daughter of the State, the Normal, Dark behind it was the journey, - Was the journey on the jitney, On the rough and tumble jitneyg Bright before us was the teaching, Was the long-awaited teaching, Was the teaching in the village. There the eager, anxious critics Met their frightened student teachers, Told them many a word of wisdom, Braced them when they grew faint-hearted, Stilled their fretful wail by saying, Hush, the President will hear thee. Many things the students taught there Of the earth and all its secrets, U Of the past and all its heroes, - I Of the fairy land in story, Of the signs that stand for music, . Of the scale to make sweet music. Gone the days and gone those duties, But the sweetest of the mem'ries Will abide in heart of student h , As they rest in child and teacher. y MARY WILLIAMS, C ritic, 3rd and Zrth Grades, Independence. i L A IGH nf Elghilnznphg f i y X r , THANK God every morning when you get up that you have something to do that day which 'must be done. Complain not of your woes to the public for they will no more pity you than the birds pity the wounded deer. - ' ' l ' EMILY DEVORE, I I Critic, 1st and 2nd Grades, Independence. . f Q9 ,tl w ,se 1: ,Q-f ,..f Q- If-M' r QW ww' 'fffli :un- 1 Nur. 1-X. ,,
