UUT among the hillsrand green pasture lands, from the dwelling place of birds and flowers and great-hearted people comes the call of the rural school. There is no place where a teacher can find greater happiness in her work nor see the results of her effort so quickly as in such a school. Here one holds in his hand the powers and privilege of directing community thought and activity. Here one grows to know boys and girls, men and women, as they are. If one would enjoy his work let him seek the rural school. A GLADYS CARSON, Supervisor, Elkins Center. . FRAUDE, the English historian, wrote In life, as in art, and as in mechanics, the only profit- able teaching is the teaching by example. This is an excellent motto for the teacher of the public school. Year after year these children come to us with questioning looks and year after year they leave us just as they leave their outgrown books. These -children look up to their teacher as an individual who never does wrong in school or out. She is a heroine in their sight. And I wonder sometimes if I've taught them I ' just some of the things they'll need in life, ' ' just some of the worth while things, Be they peasants, or poets,'or kings. Q ' JEWEL DELK, U Asst. Supervisor, Elkins. GREETINGS to the students of the Normal with part of whom it has been my pleasure to work. I have been wondering why you intend to teach, what kind of school you intend to have. Have you ever watched a workman using a square as he shapes his material? The ideals of the teacher are her square, her school, the material she, shapes. The Normal School offers you ideals as well as ideas. If you are to take but one, take the ideals, the spirit of the school. Oak Point's contribution would be to remind you that There is a solution to every prob- lem, and the soul's highest duty is to be of good cheer. I - I GERTRUDE F. COLLINS, , Supervisor, Oak Point Center. Greetings and love to you one and all. 1 INEZ MILLER, Supervisor, Mountain View Center. Hoping that Mountain View will always bring pleasant memories, I send best wishes to you all. MYREL A. BOND, Asst. Supervisor, Mountain View.

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. ,,
