IIZTHE NORMZII IF we only fully realized our powers and would employ them to our utmost, what wonderful works we might accomplish in the world and especially for our beloved Normf' wJ. H. ACKERMAN. hm 7k THE TEACHERiS RESOLVE THE Great War is over. Silent is the cannonis mouth. The sword is sheathed again and peace is said to reign. In it all I had a part. But now that peace is come I have a far greater work to do. My beloved land is filled with those who hold all too lightly those time-revered principles of freedom, justice, equality and humanity for which my countrymen gave the last full measure of devotion. They would set up a false Goddess of Liberty in the High Place and by foul means or fair would conjure our youth to fall down and worship her. But this shall not be! It must not be! My soul revolts at the very thought of it! I see my mission. I will be strong. Illl meet this foul corruption of our youth with the grand stories of Bunker Hill, of Valley Forge, of Gettysburg, of San Juan Hill and of Belleau Wood. I will not falter. I will be brave, God helping me. Iill carry on! -THOS. H. GENTLE. xx pk FARMER John decided after his journey to the city, The best part of the journey is getting home again? I wish to corroborate Farmer John's statement, since getting home means tiBack to Oregonl' and to the Oregon Normal School with so many fine young women in the student body. To these young women I would give the strongest impression which I bring from the Orient, which is that America is the place for women. xw 7k SOMEONE once asked Charles Kingsley to what he attributed his success in life and he replied, ttI had a friendf, This thought came to me: What a wonderful opportunity every teacher has to contribute to the worlds success by just being a friend to all her boys and girls! mJESSICA TODD. -KATHARINE ARBUTHNOT. xx 9k LETS see, you want a word for the tiNorm. Surely you donlt want me to discuss the joys of having the flu. A large percentage of you have already tasted that cup. It cant be the ttmissing link,, you want to know about, nor even the weather. Of push pull you,ve had a-plenty, and rural school problems too. It can't be geography. I have it and I shall give it a name so that future generations may join me in my mirth. It shall be Fredrick RichardeFredrick the Great, and Richard the Lion Hearted. My cup is full to overflowing, I can think of nothing further. Join me in my toast while I strut my hour? -L. P.
