PREFACE
MITATIONS are the mark of all
human endeavor, yet, knowing this,
we should perhaps blush in present-
ing this book to you were it not for
one other truth—_we have done our best.
So, read it curiously, not critically, kindly,
not severely, remembering that one’s best
is always sacred, poor indeed though it be.

STATE COLLEGE FOR TEACHERS 15
College History
HE “State Normal School” was founded in 1844. It was the first school
for the training of teachers in New York State, and was the only one of its
kind until 1863. It was begun as an experiment to be tried for five years.
At the end of this time the School had proved itself so successful that it was
continued and a permanent home found for it on the corner of State and Lodge streets.
“The New York State Normal College ” was established in 1890 for the pur-
pose of giving instruction exclusively in the science and in the art of teaching. From
that time until 1905 it was a purely professional institution, with no opportunities to
pursue courses of study similar to those pursued in ordinary literary colleges.
The institution was chartered as a college in 1905, with power to grant bacca-
laureate degrees, and beginning with the year 1913, the master degrees.
By action of the Board of Regents April 30, 1914, the College is to be hereafter
designated as the New York State College for Teachers.
BUILDINGS AND APPROPRIATIONS
1844. The school was first held over the New York Central Railroad station.
1848. In this year a new building was completed on the corner of Howard and
Lodge streets, at a cost of $25,000.
1885. About this time the school found a new home on Willett street. The
building was erected at a cost of $100,000.
1906. In 1906 the Willett street building was destroyed by fire and a new
building was begun on Washington avenue. For this building — our present home —
the State appropriated $350,000.

STATE COLLEGE FOR TEACHERS 17
Che Ideals of the College
HE avowed purpose of the New York State Normal College is to train teachers
for the secondary schools of the State. ‘To this end it was established by the
Regents, and with this aim in view it has planned its courses and created its
ideals. No institution intended to be permanent comes to its ideals immediately ;
these grow with its expanding purposes. This has been true of this College. Since its
organization as a College for the training of secondary teachers it has in many things been
feeling its way, and trying experiments in teacher-training. It cannot be said now to have
spoken the last word upon the subject, but it is believed that its courses if followed intel-
ligently will equip a student for high school teaching as well as any plan which has been
adopted for such purpose. The Normal College by its organization is specially fitted
to meet the needs of the prospective teacher. It offers to its students a thoroughly
organized four-year college course leading to the regular baccalaureate degree and
demanding the usual college entrance requirements. The student may pursue to a large
degree such courses as are ordinarily pursued in liberal arts colleges in the State. The
difference between the Normal College and these other colleges lies in the direction which
given to the student's studies and in the fact that every student is required to include
in his courses certain studies in the history and theory of education, a number of “* method
courses which deal with specific methods of teaching high school subjects in the high
school, and to have successfully completed a period of practice teaching under super-
vision in the high school which is carried on by the College.
The proper direction of the student's course is secured in the first place by demand-
ing that all who enter the College shall be consciously preparing for the work of teaching.
This gives to it a selected body of students with one aim, and creates an esprif de corps
which goes far towards giving to them such a professional attitude towards future work
that their studies will be made consciously or unconsciously to bear upon that work. It
may be objected that the college student should be permitted during the four years of
his course to give his undivided attention to academic studies, without regard to their
practical application. This contention, quite universal at one time, will not be seriously
held by those who view the educational problem in the light of the modern cry for
“efficiency.” To know whither one is going and to what use he intends to put the
training which he gets in college, is a valuable aid in securing earnestness and in widening
his horizons, as well as in enabling him to gain a firmer grasp upon his studies. And if
the student knows his final goal at the beginning of his course he can choose his studies
more intelligently, thus enabling him to reach his goal more rapidly and more successfully.
Tt cannot be said that the cultural aspect of a course of study is injured by the fact
that it is taken with a view to future use. If the student is thinking of a subject as one
18 THE PEDAGOGUE OF 1914
which he is to present to others so they may understand it, he is quite likely to get a com-
prehension of it which is deeper and broader than if he were merely studying it for the
culture it might give him, which he does not know that he will ever use, or which at least
may be used only to broaden his outlook. No criticism is here made upon cultural studies;
culture should be coveted by every one who enters any educational institution. The student
who is consciously preparing for a future which includes the use of his college course is
likely to get such a view of his subjects that he will not fail in cultural acquirement. It
should be said further that the first two years’ work of the Normal College differs in no
respect from the first two years’ work in colleges of liberal arts where the elective system
is followed. After these years attention is directed to studies in education. The student
upon entering a college of this type is at once put into an atmosphere which aids him
greatly in his future work. Whatever may be said concerning the advantages of general
culture courses, and they have their advantages, it cannot be denied that much is lost to
many students by having no direction given to their lives in the early years of their college
course. A further advantage arises from the fact that the instructors consciously present
courses in such a way that the work of each day may be made to bear practically upon
the teaching of the subject in the future. By this it is not meant to imply that all courses
are turned into “ method" courses. Far from it. It simply means that the instructor
keeps always before him, as an ideal, the personal development of the student, to a larger
degree than he would were he merely developing the subject.
The question may be asked, why should not the student first get his academic
work in some institution devoted entirely to that, and then get his professional training in
an institution devoted to teacher-training. There is both gain and loss in such a plan.
If it could be brought about that all high school teachers would take this course it would
probably meet the needs of the situation. The value of this is recognized at the Normal
College. College graduates are given a year’s professional training in educational theory
and methods of teaching, leading to an advanced degree, and intended to fit them for
teaching in high schools. In many quarters, however, it is felt that four years’ preparation
beyond the high school is all that can be afforded and all that ought to be demanded
of secondary teachers. The situation has been met by departments of education in our
various colleges and universities, and in many cases well met. ‘There is an advantage,
however, in having those who are to teach grouped together in a college where they may
get a broad outlook upon the field of public education, may secure a unity of interest,
and may develop a spirit of comradeship with each other which will be most helpful to
them in their future work. It is believed, also, that the gap which has existed between
college and life will be narrowed by this means.

Characters — Would-be Freshman and Graduate Member of the Class of "14.
Would-be Freshman (to Graduate Member) — “ Please, ma’am, can you tell me
where the Normal School is? ”
Graduate Member (in terror) —“* School,’ my child? Do you know the penalty

Would-be Freshman (joyfully) —‘* Oh, yes! please, ma’am.”
Graduate Member —“* Well, to begin at the very beginning, in the fall of 1910
we all flocked hither like a herd of thirsty cows to water. Indeed, we were thirsty for
knowledge, but forsooth, the work which accompanied this knowledge did not look good.

we selected from among the motley throng one Louis B. Ward
‘Would-be Freshman (interrupting) — “ Louis B. Ward! Why, that’s my grand-
father! Everyone says my hair is as black and curly as his was.”
Graduate Member — “ Yes, my child, your grandfather ruled over us during our
first year — ruled wisely and well. After the mid-year exams. some of us were sub-
merged beneath the waves of flunks and left; others stayed on, and one sad day in May
were relieved of a dollar or more — the price of their folly.”
Would-be Freshman — “Is it only the Freshmen who are drowned by flunks?
What do the other classes receive? ””
Graduate Member — “Alas, no, these flunks are distributed around promiscuously —
they are not even divided up — some may receive two or three, others none at all. In
our Sophomore year, we began to wax proud and strong. Were we not Sophomores —
“wise fools?’ The institution could not exist without us. For our president we again
chose one of the scarce males, Harold Webster Goewey so-called, the now famous play-
wright and tragedian.”
Would-be Freshman — “* Oh, yes, I know who he is. In high school instead of
reading Shakespeare's ‘King Henry VIII,’ we read one of his works, ‘My Window
Queen.’ ””
Graduate Member — “* Under his regime things looked lively. We all paid our
dues, received billet-doux, took psychology and dropped mathematics. Wasn't that a
Int for mere Sophomores to do?
Would-be Freshman — “ Billet-doux? Why, I believe they are love-letters! Does
everyone get them? And who sends them?”
Graduate Member —“* Ah, billet-doux are not looked for with pleasure. They
are a warning note that your work has not been satisfactory and you must brush up. We
were just in that year when we had someone below us and someone above us — a golden

mean as it were. Suffice it to say, we survived our Sophomore year to enter upon the
Junior year or the ‘ how-it-is-taught’ year. For this was method year and while we
were struggling through it, we wondered how our pupils were ever going to learn what
we taught them or how we ever learned when we were in high school. But methods
did not spoil our appetites; we celebrated to Father Bacchus in the form of a banquet,
January, 1913, given in the physics room, 150.”
‘Would-be Freshman — ‘* Why, how strange to have a banquet in a class room!
How could you have enjoyed it? I should think the law of gravity would have been
staring you in the face the whole time! ”
Graduate Member —*“* Oh, we didn’t let a little thing like that bother us. We
just ate our turkey dinner and had a good time. You see, the waiters were on a strike
that year and unless we brought our own lunch or served ourselves, we wouldn't have
had any banquet. And, oh, the delights of the Junior Prom! That year we had
Lois Atwood for a president and consequently had a good tim
Would-be Freshman —‘‘A Prom? Don’t you mean a ‘ Pom,’ abbreviation for
“Pomeranian? ’””
Graduate Member — “* My dear, I mean what I say, always. A Junior Prom
is a dance given by the Juniors in the gymnasium. What a delightful time we had,
dodging around the pillars and elbowing each other out of the way. But what was
the difference as long as we had a gorgeous time and gave our fellow-students the same.
And now the end of our Junior year was approaching and we were entering upon that
long-dreaded Senior year. We must teach! Ah! dread thought! All during the sum-
mer, some of us enjoyed our vacation with a French book or a geometry in our lap
while playing cards, or riding around on a Cesar pony. But that vacation as well as
everything else came to an end, and we launched upon our Senior year with misgivings.
Just think of teaching! That meant taking a point of view far different from the one
we already had. Still another blessing was heaped upon us —a study-hall! Defined
in ordinary vernacular, a study-hall means a room in which are imprisoned young
heathen doing anything else but studying. The one in charge must patrol up and down
and must keep them from assassinating each other with chalk, erasers, fruit or whatever
else may be handy. It was also convenient for the teacher to protect herself. In those
days everyone could tell a Senior by her long troubled face and dignified mien. For our
Senior president we had the tall, stately Gerald Pratt, the present great rhetorician.
Slowly, but surely the year wore on and wore some of us out. But those who survived
were ever grateful for that thrilling Senior year and many a time made use of the experi-
ence received therein. In June, 1914, we parted; a sad parting to be sure, but, * Parting
is such sweet sorrow, we part to-day and meet again to-morrow.’ Our alma mater is
always ready to receive us again under her kindly care, and so she will welcome you,
little Freshman. Be good to her and do your duty and all will be well.”
Would-be Freshman —‘* Oh, thank you so much, ma’am, for your interesting
class history and for your sound advice. I shall endeavor to succeed and I am sure now
that I will.”

Moving-Up Dav
Moving-Up Day is fast becoming what in right it should be —a day of ceremonial
observance of college tradition, around which true college spirit may develop. In accord-
ance with precedent, the exercises in celebration of Moving-Up Day consist of brief
addresses by the president of the College and the president of the Senior Class, the singing
of college songs by the college body, the ‘* moving up" in the chapel seats by the classes,
and the outdoor marching of the classes.
The marshals in charge of Moving-Up Day in 1914 were:

Class Day Pageant
Feeling the need of Class Day exercises of a more vital and distinctive nature than
the traditional Normal College observances, the Class of 1914 decided to present a
pageant. This pageant presents the history, the present and the future of the college,
from the day upon which the members of the first class came in hickory shirts and leather
boots to a room over the railroad station, to the days which we know and the days of
which we dream. Another section of the pageant deals with the history, the present and
78 THE PEDAGOGUE OF 1914
the future of the Class of 1914. In this section the features of the old Class Day cele-
bration are, in so far as is possible, preserved. Here, too, we are given a startling oppor-
tunity to survey our future selves as others see us. Fairy dances between the sections
complete the spectacle.
In the success for which we hope the assistance of Miss Dunsford is a factor which
we wish gratefully to acknowledge.

History of the Class of 1915
S LITTLE streams gather together to form the mighty river, so gathered the
individual members to form the Class of 1915. From the peaceful green of
the pasturelands, from the echoing wilderness of their mountain homes, from
almost every tiny village and hamlet in the State, came these leaping, gurgling,
care-free little streams, still reflecting in their crystal surfaces the fresh, green color of
their native banks, to the great city of Albany, where they united, three long years ago,
to form the most important branch of one of the greatest rivers which empties into the sea
of knowledge, namely, the mighty S. N. C. To be sure, each little brooklet, even for
some time after its union with the others, still retained its verdant freshness which told so
plainly of its journey from a country home, but its very tint gave promise of its future
greatness, for, as with all tender, living things, greenness bespeaks capacity for rapid
growth.
This wonderful class which arose from such humble beginnings was not in the
College a single year before it gave unmistakable signs of extraordinary talent and ability.
Almost every day some hitherto unknown and unnoticed little stream would suddenly leap
up and sparkle brightly in the rays of the mathematical or chemical sun, and reveal in
its clear depths myriad wonders hidden away heretofore from faculty and students alike.
until the barren waste-lands of the College were nourished and strengthened thereby,
and Minerva, who, before the advent of “ 1915," had been allowed to sink deep into
the quicksands of neglect, was snatched up and born along upon the bosom of this
mighty river.
By the end of the Sophomore year, the waters of this majestic force had penetrated
far and wide. They had crept into the class room, the athletic field, the laboratory, and
the student clubs, slowly and unnoticeably at first, but soon every crevice and possible
opening was filled by the rushing, seething mass, and there was scarcely a department
in the entire College which did not feel the pressure of the tide. Other classes gave way
to it as to a force which they knew it would be futile to resist, and the faculty held up
its hands in learned bewilderment, and exclaimed loudly at the mysterious workings of
Nature.
But it was not until Junior year that this phenomenal class displayed its true worth.
Never before was there such a Junior week in the history of S. N. C. What other
class has shown such originality as they, in inaugurating a Junior Wednesday, which
from now on will be renewed each year, and each year pay its tribute to the genius of
its founder, “* 1915"? When before were there such a delightful Junior reception
and banquet, and where, in all the annals of the College, can there be found evidence
of such splendor and magnificence as attended this year’s Junior Prom?
In this year, the dross has been consumed, and the gold refined. The sediment
of 1915" has drifted naturally to the bottom, and the clear waters, decreased per-
haps in quantity, but clearer and more sprakling than before, are flowing triumphantly
STATE COLLEGE FOR TEACHERS 81
on. The Juniors, free from the petty cares and troubles of the underclassmen, and
not yet troubled by direful apprehension of their practice teaching, are now at their best.
They have learned all the worldly wisdom of their time, and are not yet oppressed by
too much self-satisfaction which always comes from too close contemplation of success.
The momentum of two years is with them. They no longer live to themselves alone, but
for the causes of living, and, as “ the great deeds of men live after them,” so, long after
they have become Seniors and have gone out into the arena of life, the deeds of the
Class of 1915 will live in the hearts of men.

88 THE PEDAGOGUE. OF 1914
Gistury of the Class of 1916
N THE fall of 1912 a band of scholars, desirous of becoming students, pre-
sented themselves at the State Normal College and were enrolled as the
Class of 1916. At first we found the path of duty hard, and a few of us
were left by the wayside, but the most of us pressed on. Our first year as
Freshmen was a pleasant one, for when we became accustomed to the new routine and
cast aside tears and sighs, college life moved along brightly.
Early in the year there were receptions, parties and teas to which the Freshmen
were invited and pleasantly entertained by upper classmen. But these functions of the
first few weeks were not to last, for too many social affairs do not prosper the serious
work in college.
Athletics were not neglected, however, and a basket ball team was duly formed of
those who excelled in that game, and, although we were not destined to wear the laurels
of championship, we were not to be despised.
Upon “ Moving-up Day,” which was celebrated in May, we, as a class, distin-
guished ourselves. Early that morning, eventful in the history of S. N. C. as the first
real “* Moving-up Day,” the first arrivals at the College saw, floating high at the top of
the flagstaff, a banner of yellow and white bearing the numerals 1916. In the cheering
in chapel the voices of the “* Froshes '’ were first and loudest, for a leader with boundless
ambition and strong lungs was not lacking. But, best of all, after the classes were seated,
the window curtain in the rear was raised and with it the banner of 1916 was borne
aloft out of the reach of any rivals. After chapel a pitched battle was fought between
the classes upon the College campus for the possession of the 1916 banner, and again
the Freshmen were victorious. Oh! happy were the members of the Class of 1916
that night, for truly "twas a proud as well as an eventful day for them. Never after-
wards were they trodden upon with impunity.
By the time the June examinations were looming close ahead, most of our class
had outgrown their left-over high school notions and had become accustomed to serious
work.
When we returned to College in September, 1913, we were Sophomores and could
look upon those who now took our former places with a superior pity. Greetings of last
year’s friends, the making of new ones, the arrangement of courses and the falling back
into line after the summer vacation, occupied our first week or two. Then the Sophomores
dropped into a quiet little niche, which seems just made for those who have neither the
honor and prestige of Seniors, the interest of Freshmen, nor the exalted position of Juniors,
who are the acknowledged leaders of all social events.
The months passed quickly. January examinations came and went, bringing dis-
aster to a few, but success to the majority. Junior week came next, but in the festivi-
ties, we, as mere Sophomores, had little part, but we consoled ourselves with the fact that
STATE COLLEGE FOR TEACHERS 89
time would correct that fault and next year we would be the leaders of those functions.
Soon after we were the hosts at the usual Sophomore-Senior reception, at which we enter-
tained our sister class with dancing and refreshments, and with a program in which only
members of our class participated.
Thus have we prospered so far in our college career. May the annals of S. N. C.
record as great success for our next two years as for the former ones. May the members
of the Class of 1916, as they look back upon their college course, say with truth,
“Truly did we * hitch our wagon to a star.”

FRESHMAN
96 THE PEDAGOGUE OF 1914
Freshman History
‘J OT many months ago a class of people came to this College and began making
history from the first day. For instance, a few unsophisticated Freshmen
were directed into a study-room used exclusively for girls (the directors being
Sophs, is almost unnecessary to mention).
We viewed with admiration the splendid buildings and beautiful grounds, for a
September day, with the warm sun and green grass, creates an impression that is not
easily forgotten. The long line of new arrivals at the office, and the hurry of people
through the halls, gave us wondering Freshmen an idea of the pace set even from the
first day. The kindly looks of the Faculty and the genuine, hearty hand-shakes helped
many of those who were far from home to muster courage and adjust themselves to the
new routine.
Everyone soon began to notice the earnest way in which we took hold of our
studies, and the institution became justly proud of our large class. Upwards to one
hundred and fifty with at least thirty men, and among those the huskiest in College,
we began demonstrating our fitness in everything collegiate from athletics to debates.
Possibly our unusual sterling qualities are due to the great number of men in proportion
to the usual number in a class. This, however, is questionable, for our girls are the girls
of the College.
It is always a good thing to back one’s statements with evidence, and I might
mention that it took a Freshman to organize and conduct the College orchestra; also, that
at least seven of the nine characters in the recent Promethean playlet were Freshmen
and they materially aided in making the affair a striking success. These and other facts
might be mentioned were it not for our extreme modesty, as, indeed, we have not
exhausted our testimonials.
Athletics have shown what fine material we have among the girls as well as the boys;
our class team is a terror to all others. Grit and determination are spelled in the
way we have played. Then, with the rest, a fine spirit of fair play has been evident and
the good-natured way of accepting defeat, for I must say that we have lost, has gained
us many friends.
In the class-room we have done very creditable work and in reality we are phenome-
nally studious.
Modesty and reddened cheeks are frequent signs when praised for some diligent
work. Why, only the other day when some paper had disappeared from his desk,
Professor Risley said, “* You are a most unusual class for picking up things.” Latent
talent appeared here and there and contributed to music, literature and the stage. Fresh-
men are generally and sometimes unfortunately associated with the title which they bear,
but ample proof of the injustice of this idea was shown at the splendid Junior-Freshmen
Frolic, where dignity and quiet reserve were evident to a marked degree (whether it was
bashfulness or heaven-born modesty is another question).
STATE COLLEGE FOR TEACHERS 97
Many of us have certainly grown mentally as well as in other ways, for the splendid
atmosphere created by both the Faculty and the student body is as a warm rain and
sunshine to the nascent bud. In truth, we have sprouted and not a few, but the majority.
One expression which has had an effect on many is, ‘* Follow the Gleam,’ which echoes
from English and is a splendid motto for those who are trying to know things, and want
to know that they know them. In short, it is a formula for high ideals.
There was a time when we greeted one another in an absent-minded, somber way,
and wore long faces. ‘That period, I need scarcely explain, was just before the mid-year
exams, but doesn’t it back the statement that we are conscientious, and, like true students,
our worries come before the test, rather than after. Anyway, we were again bright and
cheerful afterward and the merry laughter pervaded every hall (but not during recita-
tion, oh, no, indeed!). The returns were welcome and satisfactory all around.
In the social line we haven't yet tried our skill nor is it expected that we can provide
any program which would compare with the other classes, for we have no time to plan it,
or may I say, very little time. But just watch and see what we create at our big Freshman
Party. It is a foregone conclusion that it will be on a par with our other achievements.
Now, as we look back over the time already spent and then at the present, we see
a happy class with a happier leader, plodding along faithfully either in the depths of
European History or on the heights of composition fancy, or in the smoke of chemicals or
the hum of lathes.
Yes, we are a lot of busy bees. Likewise, a stronger and more appreciable
knowledge of ideals and an understanding of what ideals mean, has come into our char-
acters. Such a feeling or condition could naturally be expected with such rich sur-
roundings within our reach and the broad-minded lines on which education is promoted in
our College. May we continue to be the fine lot of girls and boys which we have been,
and may our efforts and aims, as we rise in this institution, bring credit to the Faculty as
well as to ourselves.

STATE COLLEGE FOR TEACHERS 105
Che Flea
T has become customary in these days for people who pretend to be anything,
or anybody, socially, to have an evening meal called dinner. At noon these
people lunch, and, of course, in the morning they breakfast; provided always,
they arise in time. Therefore it is evident that the meal once known as supper
is passé. However, there are still to be found a few families who refuse to do away
with this goodly institution and who, every evening, may be found enjoying that old-
fashioned, congenial repast. The Dunns were such a family. Just once, Lucile Dunn,
who had visited a girl who went to a select boarding school, suggested that it would be
more up-to-date to have dinner at night. Papa Dunn had at once vetoed the idea by
stating that he had no intention of trying to do a good afternoon's work on a “ measily ”
lunch. The adjective had been too much for Lucile and she subsided without any
argument. So the Dunns continued to eat supper every night, and to relate their
experiences of the day over their cups of postum.
One night Mamma Dunn, making the best of a pause occasioned by the simul-
taneous drinking of postum by the rest of the family, said:
“Lucile, what time will you get out of the office to-morrow? I want to meet you
and go to the dog-pound with you so we can get a dog. I've wanted one for some time.”
Lucile stared at her mother over the cup rim, but continued to drink. Not so
Grandma Dunn; her cup came down with unsafe force and she said in no uncertain tone:
“T won't have a dog in this house, so you needn't go and get one to-morrow, or
any other day. I won't have it!”
By this time Lucile was ready for speech, and being in that serenely complacent
mood that results from a square meal, she prophetically announced:
“Tt’s no use for you to object, Grandma, for we are bound to have a dog; I can
feel one coming.”
An unbelieving ‘* Humph! " from her grandmother was the only response she got
to her prediction, and the supper progressed as usual.
Two hours later the telephone rang and Mamma Dunn answered it. The listening
Lucile heard the following one-sided conversation:
“ Hello!”
“Yes
“This isn’t Lucile, it is Lucile’s mother.”
“What?
“You do?”
“Why yes, but wouldn’t he be homesick? ”
“How long would you want us to keep him?”
“No, he wouldn't be any trouble. We should love to have him, and he is so
well-behaved.”
106 THE PEDAGOGUE OF 1914
“ How are you going to get him here? ”
“That will be fine. What time will your father bring him?”
“Four o'clock? All right. I'll be looking for him.”
“ Good-bye.”
“Whose father is it and what is he going to bring? Lucile could scarcely wait
for her mother to hang up the receiver.
“Well, isn’t that strange? And right on top of what you said at supper, Lucile.”
Mamma Dunn sat down by the table and smiled at the lamp.
“For Goodness’ sake stop looking so benign and tell us what that telephone talk
was about! ”’ Lucile was growing impatiently indignant.
“Well, it was Bertha Brisk, and she wanted to know if we could take their fox
terrier, Bobbie, for an indefinite length of time because her mother is very ill and he
barks, and I said certainly, we'd love to, so her father is going to bring him to-morrow
afternoon about four o'clock.”
“The old Harry!” This from Grandma Dunn before Lucile could speak.
“Tt isn’t “the old Harry" at all. It’s great. I told you I felt a dog coming.
Wish it was to-morrow afternoon.” Lucile’s radiant face kept Grandma Dunn from
making any further exclamatory contributions.
The next day was a hard one at the office and Lucile made several mistakes in
typewriting. She looked often at the clock and when it pointed to four she smiled and
addressed an envelope to Chicago while she put into it a letter to a Boston firm. But
at last the work day ended and Lucile hurried homeward wondering what Bobbie was
doing in his new surroundings. As she opened the hall door she was met by a nervous
little fox terrier barking his throat hoarse.
“Why, Bobbie, don’t you remember me?” Lucile dropped to her knees and
Bobbie promptly remembered and squealed out his recognition.
“Who's here?” demanded Lucile of Mamma Dunn, and stared at a large suit
case in the middle of the floor.
“ Bobbie, of course.”
“But he didn’t bring that with him,” returned Lucile increduously.
“No, of course he didn’t. Bertha’s father brought it. It has his bed, his rubber
ball, his meat and drinking bowls, his soap, and some liver in it.””
“Good-night! I should say he had come to make a visit,” and Lucile got up to
take off her coat.
Bobbie made himself at home from the start. If he missed the family that had
brought him up from a two weeks’ old puppy to a six year old dog, he never gave
evidence of it. He ate, barked, and slept as if he had always lived at the Dunns.
With Lucile he played boisterous games and destroyed the couch pillows she flung at
him. With Mamma Dunn he played the part of a devoted gallant; with Papa Dunn
he insisted on playing ball; but with Grandma Dunn he spent long, lonesome evenings
waiting for the rest of the family to come home. It was during these evenings that
STATE COLLEGE FOR TEACHERS 107
Grandma Dunn noticed a peculiarity of Bobbie's that disturbed her. She described it
to the others. Bobbie would lie quietly on the couch, apparently fast asleep, when
suddenly he would sit up, listen a moment, stare wild eyed at his stump of a tail, and
then make a biting lunge at it. Grandma Dunn suggested her awesome theory. He
might be going mad.
Lucile rejected this vehemently, explaining that it would be inconsistent for him
to have his going mad symptoms only when at intervals he was left alone with Grandma
Dunn. And she finished by saying that she should not worry until it got to be a habit
and they all saw him do it.
A few nights later, while the Dunns were enjoying their usual social supper,
Mamma Dunn suddenly announced:
“Lucile, you should worry. Bobbie is staring at his tail
All looked at the dog in alarm. It was true. He was lying on the floor at Papa
Dunn's feet, gazing with glassy eyes at his abbreviated tail. All at once he snapped at
it violently, licked his lips, and stretched out for another nap.
“What do you suppose it is?”
Lucile spoke in hushed tones and all looked soberly at Papa Dunn who chuckled.
“A flea, of course,” and Lucile’s paternal ancestor choked on a piece of bread.
The meal was finished in extraordinary silence occasionally interrupted by a snort
from the man of the family. Later in the evening Lucile and Bobbie withdrew to the
second floor where they stayed for some time. Finally both reappeared, Bobbie jumping
along quite cheerfully, Lucile looking like a suffragette. She squared off in front of her
father and gravely announced:
“Tt was not a flea, for I’ve looked most thoroughly and there was not a single flea
to be found.”
Papa Duna, all unabashed, made answer:
““ Well, it probably fled when no one pursued.”

RING of shadows ‘round the attic door,
Loose hung and part ajar for many a year,
And corners grim with darkness and austere,
A stalwart chair of fifty years or more.
An open window, whence an oblong shaft
Of light divides the shadows and the gloom,
And makes a golden pathway through the room,
Transformed as by an unseen Midas’ hand.
Beside the window, lightward — half undone,
A portrait stands — the artist, bending near,
Views with respect the work that is so dear,
And eagerly, as though but just begun.
The light wind sways her apron’s folds— a curl
Brushes her satin cheek. With lips apart
With smiles, reflections of a happy heart,
The artist stands revealed —a simple girl.
Crowned with a halo brighter than a saint's,
Blessed with youth’s years, enthusiasm’s source,
Ske works untiringly, with eager force,
A portrait fairer far than that she paints.

“Siow Blow and Grass Blom ”
VEN to-day, if you were to say ‘* Snow Blow and Grass Blow” to Margaret
Dewitt she would be sure to blush furiously. It was the weapon of ridicule
that her brothers and sisters used all up through childhood, one of the very
few things that would make the sunshiny Margaret lose her temper. “* Snow
Blow and Grass Blow’ was a speech, a weird drawling incantation, a dream, composed
by Margaret at the age of four and thereafter recited by her to unwilling listeners.
The day the inspiration came upon her, Margaret was swaying her plump little
body to and fro before the kitchen window, watching the November wind snatch and
toss the dead grass and leaves, sifting them
over with soft sprinkles of the first snow.
She must have been kneeling so an hour or
more, when suddenly a magic impulse, com-
pletely irresistable, came upon her, she felt
that she must do something, say something,
to show that she too knew what it was like to
be grass blown about in a November wind,
and then, quite to her surprise, she began to
talk. It was a funny incoherent speech that
came tumbling out, rhyming here and there
with curious baby catches, going all the way
up and down the scale of her pleasant throaty
little voice, seeming to contain echoes of joy
and gladness and sorrow, that certainly were
never felt by a child of her years, and sing-
songing back ever and anon to the refrain that
Watching the November Wind
afterward gave the speech its name, “‘ Snow Blow and Grass Blow.
Peculiarly enough this creative impulse did not leave her after this first unexpected
outburst. Like the Ancient Mariner poor little Margaret went about searching for
‘Wedding Guests, telling her tale again and again. But the cruel thing about it was
that nobody seemed to appreciate that ‘‘ Snow Blow and Grass Blow” was poetry,
no one understood what it was all about, and she met, from first to last, with nothing
but laughter, gleeful irrepressible shouts of mirth. Oh, but she was a funny sight, little
fat Margaret, rocking to and fro in her blue Mother Hubbard, her bright red curls
standing out all around her chubby rosy face, her big hazel eyes fixed solemnly on you,
preaching you a sermon; you simply had to laugh, and laughter stunned and hurt
Margaret so that she finally turned to the hired man, a tall lanky young Swede who
couldn't speak a word of English, and told him the story of ‘* Snow Blow and Grass
Blow ” as he sat folded up around his wooden chair in the kitchen beside the pantry door.
110 THE PEDAGOGUE OF 1914
He stood it patiently for weeks, holding his head wisely on one side and seeming
to listen attentively, until at last the time came when he too could endure it no longer,
and stuffing one great forefinger in either ear he shook his head long and despairingly
and laughed.
“Snow Plow ant Grass Plow,” he repeated hopelessly, but clearly, and shook his
head again. These were the first English words the Dewitts had ever heard him utter.
“* Anyhow,” commented Pa Dewitt, ‘* You.can’t say Margie ain't done somethin’
with her lingo if she can make that dumb Swede talk!”
After this final discouragement Margaret practiced on the cat, Marcus, and when-
ever he refused to listen and seemed inclined to laugh the stern child shut him up in
the chicken coop, so that he usually proved a good audience. But after she started in
the procession with dinner pails and slates to the red schoolhouse the spell of ‘* Snow
Blow and Grass Blow” mercifully left her for a time. For there were a great many
things to take up one’s mind when one went to school. For instance, one might be
Merrilla Peters all day long on Monday — very bright, never missing one single letter,
chipping one’s words off like so many flakes of ice with an ice pick. On Tuesday one
might be Bessie Cleaver and hold one’s mouth open all day long and be unable to
distinguish C from G. On Wednesday one might, if one could find a clean pocket
handkerchief, be Anna Sping, smooth one’s hair carefully all day long, pucker one’s
mouth disdainfully, and offer the core of one’s apple to one’s seat mate with a gingerly
air. On Thursday one might be Judy Higgins, break every rule in the school, refuse
to do one’s lessons, and on being stood in the corner stamp one’s feet. On Friday one
might round out the week by being Ruth Reynolds, and stuttering, fearfully, unaccountably,
all day long. In fact, one might be so many things that one’s brother might be at
length forced to say, ‘‘ Hey, Kid, why ain't you ever twice alike more’n one day at the
same time? You act kind of foolish to me.’’ And one might be obliged to desist, for
above all things one doesn’t care to appear foolish.
But as the weeks melted into the months, and the months into the years, Margaret
found many other things of amazing interest in district school. It seemed, somehow,
to be necessary for her to spend at least half of her time standing on the floor repeating
such things as denomination tables and the capitols of South America, but that really
didn’t inconvenience her to a very great extent, for while she was thus occupied she
managed to collect in her brain material she considered far more interesting. By the
time she was nine Margaret could probably have repeated for you, almost word for
word, any of the classics contained in the five Barnes’ readers, all the way from where
the remarkable hen makes her running entrance to vie with the villainous cat for the
possession of the-eggs-in-the-box to the story of how Beethoven played the ‘* Moonlight
Sonata’ for the poor blind girl. No wonder she read glibly and with expression.
“She ain't readin’,”” complained Tom, “ she’s speechifying.””
“* Speechifying,”” indeed, seemed to be Margaret's forte, and on Arbor days,
Washington's birthdays, Christmasses, and “ Last days,” with that same magical ‘* Snow
Blow and Grass Blow” impulse flooding her being, she held her schoolmates enchanted
STATE COLLEGE FOR TEACHERS i
while she told them of “Fair Bingen on the Rhine,” of “ Kentuck of the Blue-grass
Country,” or even of “ The four good deestrick schoolfather givin’ quick the consent
that was due.”
It was after she discovered that these bursts of eloquence failed to bring forth
ridicule that Margaret very cautiously let appear in public the utterances of three com-
panions who had long peopled her imagination, namely, the Old Gentleman, the Old
Lady, and their Fair-haired Granddaughter.
“Phew! What a cold day! Margaret would remark in a high, crackled weather-
beaten voice, as the young Dewitts started out for school on a frosty morning. ‘Then,
at Elizabeth Ann’s look of surprise, she would add, ‘* said the Old Gentleman.” Then
presently, “** Yes, John,’ said the Old Lady, hitching her chair closer to the fire, * You
an’ I’ve seen many a cold day together,’ and Margaret's voice would quaver with
cold and emotion. ‘** But we've got little Mary here to comfort us,’ and the Old
Gentleman sobbed gently into his red bandana handkerchief while he patted his grand-
daughter tenderly on the head.””
Many were the curious adventures of the Old Lady and the Old Gentleman.
Whenever the Dewitt family tried to get ready to go anywhere the Old Gentleman was
sure to be in the desperate scramble too, for, as he remarked, “he wanted to get all
the enjoyment of life he could,” and loud were his cries for his granddaughter to come
tie his black silk cravat, and fierce were his protests that the Old Lady hadn’t starched
his shirt bosoms stiff enough. On the evenings when the Dewitts stayed at home the
Old Gentleman was very fond of reciting poetry, especially after the Old Lady died
(and a very touching farewell she made, you may be sure). As time went on, however,
the golden-haired Grandaughter, contrary to every one’s expectations, developed into a
very tall, haughty, and stylish young lady, carrying an exceedingly large muff, until at
length she became so unbearable that the Dewitts would have nothing more to do with
her, and the poor Old Gentleman died of a broken heart.
It was right after the Old Gentleman's death and the marriage of the Grand-
daughter to a rich merchant that Hen Feather, the presiding genius at the red school-
house, took it into her pedagogical head to give, in lieu of the usual exercises on “* Last
Day,” a play, entitled, ‘* Waiting for the Two-forty Train,” and Margaret, to her
everlasting joy and delight, was selected to be Mr. Haberdasher, the unfortunate man
with the toothache, waiting for the “ Two-forty ” to take him to the dentist's, where he
could have the offending member “* yanked out,” as he expressed it.
Eleanor Dewitt had been given the part of the sympathetic and long-suffering Mrs.
Haberdasher, and for days the Dewitt house resounded with unexpected snarls of rage
with the tortured groans of a man with the toothache, followed by soft, comforting, cooing
responses, until Pa Dewitt said: “‘ Ma, hadn’t you better get a supply of peppermint
and oil of cloves in? I feel it in my bones that if those two young ones keep on every
tooth in my head’I] start hummin’.”
But the girls continued to practice in spite of ridicule. They elaborated on the
simple dialogue in the exercise book until it was hardly recognizable; they practiced
Th THE PEDAGOGUE OF 1914
grimaces and contortions until their faces ached; they multiplied the original number of
bundles to be carried to such an extent that Tom offered them his express cart, but to
this day the populace of Bacon Ridge remember the agonized expression of the afflicted
Mr. Haberdasher and the glorious crash with which he let a package of plates fall the
last moment as the actors rushed forth to catch the “* Two-forty train.”
That play, and seeing “ Uncle Tom’s Cabii
two most blissful experiences of her childhood.
“* Just as soon,”” Ma Dewitt had said, ‘‘ as you read the book you shall see the
Margaret always regarded as the
play.”
Without delay Margaret drew ‘* Uncle Tom's Cabin” from the school library, and
with Eleanor’s aid coaxed, bribed and forced her brothers and sisters into listening to
the first three chapters, and after that there was no keeping them away. In fact, the
book became so real to them, that Pa Dewitt, disturbed one night by what sounded like
weird music over his head, went up to the garret to investigate and found that Tom had
been trying to improve on the attic ghosts and had propped all the windows open with
mouth organs,
At the end of the summer it came, and Margaret Dewitt had her desire at last.
The air was still, and twilight lingered a long time that day. Margaret wore a new
light-colored jacket from the latest “‘ rummage box”’ sent the family by the prosperous
Aunt Maria, and it seemed, somehow, to give her an unsubstantial, airy feeling, as though
she were not a girl at all, but almost like one of those flying silky angels let loose from a
brown milkweed pod, and the old ‘* Snow Blow and Grass Blow" feeling came back
strengthened tenfold. Uncle Tom, Topsy, Eva, Massa George, Aunt Ophelia, Eliza
came that night into Margaret’s imagination, which was uncluttered by so much as one
moving picture show, and took up their abode there forever. ** A person never forgets,””
the first real play she ever sees.””
she announced fervently.
Nor were the family allowed to forget it for some time. Many were the repro-
ductions of the famous play given in the old shop reserved for the young Dewitts’ revelries.
Then, with Eleanor’s help, Margaret began to concoct plays herself, so that the school-
teacher aunt, coming home one day, remarked, with what she meant to be irony, “ All
this house’s a stage, and every chick and child in it actors. “They have on my old shoes
and my good clothes, and each costume in its turn receives many tears.”
“Oh, say that again,” cried Margaret, quite missing the point, as she jumped up
and down in her aunt's bicycle bloomers. “‘ We'll print it and put it up over the shop
door.”
Mrs. Soames, their neighbor, coming in just then, remarked that if Margaret was
going to spend all her time speaking pieces anyway she might just as well be making some
sensible use of it and speak at the social at her house the next week. And so Margaret
began to speak, hither and yon, at church socials, where people were convulsed by her
solemn imitation of a fat man shopping for his wife in a department store; at W. C. T. U.
rallies, where her speaking actually influenced more than one man to vote “ no license”
STATE COLLEGE FOR TEACHERS 113
and wonder afterward whatever possessed him; at mission circles and sewing bees, where
the ladies declared that “her speakin’ gave “em a real zeal for the work; ’’ at Christmas
trees, where she really made the youngsters forget about the coming presents as she, with
sparkling eyes, her red curls tossed back over her shoulder and her plump little body
swaying forward eagerly, shouted, as Mrs. Santa Claus, “ Be careful, Santa, "bout the
chimneys, I'll worry lest you fall!” and down at the performances of the public school,
after she left the red schoolhouse, until one cruel day she came to a sudden halt.
They had given her a horrible, sing-songy, expressionless piece, and she hated it.
Ma Dewitt, for once, was too busy to hunt up a better one, but with the principal, whom
Margaret adored, pleading with her, she could not refuse. Yet she had no heart for
the thing and before all those merciless critics, her schoolmates, she forgot — ‘* Mirth
loving, joy bringing, song singing Christmas ’* — what came next. She put both hands
behind her, and for almost the first time in her life struck an awkward attitude. She
wished the floor would open; she wanted to turn and shake her fist at that insistent
principal; she hated him anyhow, and she was frightened
— frightened as she had never dreamed she could be —
she said the verse over again, her face all twisted with
fear, and at last somehow she finished and fled from the
building, away from sympathetic eyes, over to the barn
where they kept the horse. She climbed into the sleigh
and finding a bag of peppermint candy that Tom had left
in the seat, put half a handful into her mouth and ground
her teeth on it. Wave after wave of mortification and
shame went over her there, squirming in the bottom of the
dirty sleigh. Every atom of herself seemed screwed to
the tightest point of suffering, and for an hour she saw
red, red, fiery red —the good-natured Margaret. It
was a frightful experience.
For years afterwards, whenever she became em-
barrassed, Margaret could feel the taste of peppermint
candy in her mouth, and it was a long time before she
would consent to recite again.
She Wished the Floor Would Open Tt was the governor of Missouri who brought her
out of it. He had come to speak to the school, and his eloquence and sincerity had so
affected Margaret that, on arriving home, she shouted to her mother, ‘* Don’t look at me!
Don’t speak to me! Ive shook hands with the governor!’ And for so many days the
Dewitts were forced to listen to dramatic reproductions of the governor's speech, that
finally, in self-defense, they drove her to speaking pieces again.
So it went on, the Dewitts regarding Margaret’s speaking propensity as a glorious
joke, got up specially for their further amusement, the community believing her to be
public property, obliged to add to the success and enjoyment of every occasion, until at
last Margaret took the prize in a public speaking contest, where all the schools in the
114 THE PEDAGOGUE OF 1914
county competed. Now this was getting a little serious, and that night as they were
driving home Pa Dewitt, for the first time alarmed, was about to tell Margaret of how
little importance it really was when, pointing with the prize book to a dark shape in the
road ahead, she interrupted him excitedly with a verse from her piece: “* Who's that
comes over the brow of the hill? Fly for your lives for the British are here! "’ and
before Pa Dewitt knew it the whole family was laughing at him for trying to hurry
old Dobbin up the hill.
And perhaps Margaret herself would never have waked up had not Elizabeth
Ann, off at musical college, written home saying that she wished Ma Dewitt would let
Margaret come to the city to see a famous company play “ Romeo and Juliet.” Mar-
garet went, and saw for the first time one of the Shakespeare plays she’d learned by
heart, and just before Juliet took the poison, Margaret, substantial, gritty, red-headed,
fainted dead away.
“Elizabeth Ann,” she said, after Elizabeth, with some difficulty, had at last suc-
ceeded in getting her back to her rooming and boarding house, ‘* Elizabeth Ann,” she
repeated solemnly, “If you'll promise never to breathe it to a soul I'll tell you a secret.
I'm going to be an actress! ”
“Huh!” said Elizabeth Ann, as she jerked off Margaret's shoes, “Is this the
first you discovered it? Seems to me you've never been anything else. Remember
“Snow Blow and Grass Blow?’

O, will he paint me as he thinks,
Or as I know myself to be?
The artist’s brush has sometimes found
The heart the artist could not see.
The eyes that seem so cold, perhaps,
Are shelt’ring tears of injured pride:
Sarcasm’s smile upon the lips
Reflects the wound it seeks to hide.
A mask of shadows often veils
A soul still longing for the light:
But alien fingers draw it close
And doom the life to darker night.

Ah, yesterday.
Ah, in my heart, a flame leaps up
To kiss the drops from Death's dark cup,
Ah, yesterday.

116 THE PEDAGOGUE OF 1914
Dreams
ENEATH the kindly shade of the newly adorned maple, a wee tired figure
lay curled upon a soft grassy bank. The fresh green leaves above him rustled
in time to the pulses of a gentle spring breeze, and a jolly little brook babbled
compliments to the vain cowslips, admiring themselves in its pools. All
around was enchantment, while Bobby lay and dreamed. When he was a man, a great
soldier he would be, and dressed in a lovely blue uniform with big, shiny, brass buttons,
he would ride before a big, big army upon a snow-white horse. Fighting hard with the
“ sand-man,”” Bobby gazed across the meadow, where each cowslip became a soldier,
and the scattering buttercups were generals.
* * ® * # * #
With his feet upon the fender of the open fire-place the student lounged in a large
morris chair. In his lap lay a bunch of roses. The gas burned low, and the soft light
faintly illumined the pictures and banners on the walls. Through the open windows a
warm June wind and patches of moonlight intruded. The future lawyer sat dreaming.
Success and fame seemed quite within his grasp that night, and through the thin, soft haze
from his cigarette he gazed at a girl’s picture on the mantle.
* * # & % * *
In a modern office the middle-aged business man sat before his desk. A green-
shaded lamp protected his features and left in dim outline long rows of books, rising one
above the other from floor to ceiling. At brief intervals gusts of November wind, like
unseen messengers of winter, shook the window and howled about the building. The
evening paper had dropped from the lawyer’s hand and lay beside the chair, while
leaning far back with his feet on the desk, the tired man surrendered to dreams. ‘The
years had left their token, and he no longer thought of himself as a genius with the world
at his feet. Before him flitted the crowded court room, in which he must play his part
‘on the morrow.
* * * * * * *
The logs crackled briskly in the old-fashioned fire-place, and their flames lighted up
lovingly the face of the old man. Now dying down, now bursting up afresh, the fire light
caressed the long silvery hair and the shadows played gently over the strong tender face.
Snowflakes were beating fast and hard against the window-panes, and the wind whistled
a loud monotonous chorus in the chimney. Memories flooded the mind of the old
gentleman seated comfortably in the big rocking chair, and, looking intently into the fire,
he lost himself in reverie.
The smoke from a long crooked-stemmed pipe curled lightly toward the ceiling and
the bright old eyes turned to gaze through it at the portrait of a bride. Suddenly he
turned his head and glanced at the sweet face and silver hair of his companion. ‘* What's
the matter, Robert?" she asked. ‘‘ Oh! nothing, mother,” was the tender reply
only those dreams.” J. Harry Warp,

What's in a Bottle
Z A EARS ago, when I was a small boy running about a little village in Ohio, there
Ri lived in that place a dear old white-haired doctor, who had ushered most of
aa its inhabitants into the world and had materially assisted most of them in
staying here. The doctor had a kind heart for small boys and girls, and
often Jet them ride about town with him in the old-fashioned phaeton in which he made
his calls, and sometimes even let them drive gray Dobbin out to some outlying farm
where he was bound to visit some convalescing patient.
I remember well a ride I took with him one day in May.
“Sonny,” he said, “* want to go for a ride out to Brown’s? ”
“Sure,” I responded, and while I climbed in and tucked the laprobe around me
he explained: ‘* Charley Brown came in this afternoon to say that their hired man was
sick and his pa wants me to come out and give him something.
They're rushed with work and want Ike to get well quick, so’st
he can help:”
Ass we drove into the yard a lazy-looking individual sat on
the steps.
“What's the matter, Ike? ’’ asked the doctor. “* Got
spring fever?
“T dunno, Doc. I got a pain in my stomach and I have
a headache most every morning. Feel just like a log when I
try to work. I guess I better lay off for a few days an’
Father Brought Home an
Almanac doctor up.””
The old man looked at his tongue and felt of his pulse and suddenly slapped
himself on the thigh:
“ By cracky, Ike, I've got just what you need. Put some of it up about a week
ago. Fine medicine. Here 'tis,"” and he pulled a large bottle from under the buggy
seat. Into another bottle he poured several ounces of a brown liquid.
“You just take a teaspoonful of that each meal and it'll tone you up fine. Best
medicine I ever saw for what ails you.”
We started on our way back to town. As we passed another farm a woman
came out and hailed us:
“* Aunt Jane is havin’ another spell,” she said.“ Father brought home an almanac
with advertisements for Dr. Blank’s Panacea, an’ she’s been readin’ the lists of symptoms
an’ says she’s got liver complaint an’ erysipelas an’ in — sippy — yent dropsy. I want
you to give her some medicine quick or she'll go an’ write for a half dozen bottles of
that panacea right away, an’ it’s awful expensive.”
The doctor went in with his medicine case, leaving me to hold the lines. In a few
minutes he returned and reached for the brown bottle. When he came out again he
118 THE PEDAGOGUE. OF 1914
said with a chuckle, ‘I told her to take a teaspoonful of it twice a day in a glass of
water fresh from the sulphur spring on the back side of the farm. Told her to go right
up there and take it, too, ‘cause the virtue soon goes out of the water. She'll be all
right in a few days. The exercise ‘Il be good for her.”
Before we reached home the doctor used the brown bottle a third time. This
time it was for a fat man who complained of indigestion, said his meals hurt him, and
he wanted some medicine. The doctor gave him some with instructions to cat sparingly,
because if he ate very much the medicine wouldn’t work.
“He needs starving,” the doctor said when we had gone on.
Before I left the old man he said something which I did not understand then, but
which has often occurred to me since: —
“Queer, ain’t it, that folks who haven't anything the matter with ‘em always
think their good health is in a bottle somewhere? Well, perhaps it is, perhaps it is.
Well, Sonny, here’s your house,” and he drove away.

The Lure of the World
The lure of the world is in my veins,
Daring me onward with whimsical strains.
Away, comrade, away!
Bubbles of joy last for a day;
Fragile, they burst, and the forfeit you pay.
Away, comrade, away!
Off to the road "fore morning light;
See how it glistens, dusty white!
Away, comrade, away!
The step once taken, you will forget
Care and sorrow and haunting regret.
Away, comrade, away!
And when the darkness comes at last,
You will smile with joy at the journey past.
Away, comrade, away!
Epitu F. Casey, '14.
The Angel
Dear little feet with your ten wee toes,
Pink as the blush on a maiden’s cheek;
Dear little hands that do curl and close,
Is it a treasure for which you seek?
Smiling blue eyes with your heavenly light;
Lips that are red as the early dawn;
Dark brown hair that curls so tight;
Dimples that flicker and then are gone;
Precious two ears that have never known
Aught but soft words with laughter and mirth;
Plump little arms whose embrace has grown
Dearer to me than all upon earth;
Are you an angel come down to me
To stay for a while and then fly away?
There are no wings where the wings should be.
Tell me, are you an angel — say?

2Ghristian Assoriation ig
OR the Young Women’s Christian Association, the past year has been one of
initiative, growth and strength. A membership of two hundred and ten, and
records of various increased activities, we believe to be significant evidence that
the Association is an increasingly potent force at work among us, uniting our
efforts in the name of Christianity.
The regular devotional meetings have been held on Wednesday afternoons throughout
the College year; members of the Association, of the Faculty and pastors of some
Albany churches acting as lecders. One of these meetings each month is devoted to
mission study, one to Bible study and the others to general matters relative to the life
of the Christian student.
Last spring a Bible study class was conducted by Dean Blue at his home. The
enrollment of students was thirty-two; the course of study, “ The Social Message of
Jesus."" This spring the course was the “ Books of Job and Ecclesiastes, and Wisdom.”
Sixty students were in attendance. Rev. J. V. Moldenhower taught the class.
The missionary committee organized two study classes in the first semester. Miss
Beatrice Wright, of our Association, was the leader of the home mission study of “ Mor-
monism."” Miss Mabel Taylor, of this city, a volunteer for the mission field, taught the
class studying “* India’s Awakening.””
Fifty-two dollars have been pledged by our members toward the salary of Miss
Mary Baker, a Y. W. C. A. secretary to students in Tokyo, Japan. Three girls have
volunteered this year for the mission field, making a total of four student volunteers in
the College.
The lunch counter, a new enterprise this year, has proved a success in serving an
acceptable lunch to the students. Because of the regular income from this source, the
sales which were held in former years have been discontinued, except for the Christmas
sale, when College stationery and pennants, cards and Japanese prints were supplied.
Only lack of space prevents us from recording other accomplishments of the social
extension and Association news committees. Our unified aims find expression in seeking
to promote those things which make for the upbuilding of qualities of character which
are most fundamental to right living.

HE Promethean Literary Society attracts to itself college students who have an
interest in literature, a liking for debate and parliamentary practice, and a
desire to participate in college fellowship of a broad sort. It was in the spirit
of interested comradeship that the society was founded, and this delight in the
company of “kindred spirits "” still lingers, forming one of the most pleasant features of
every meeti
In addition to the regular bi-monthly meetings, when musical and literary programs
have been given, refreshments served, and lively debates enjoyed, the society has contributed
to college life by entertaining the student body twice during the year, once by supple-
menting a musical entertainment and at another time by inaugurating Chapel Day and
presenting a short play from “Scenes from Dickens.” Promethean has also subscribed
for a magazine, ““ The Mentor,” which is kept on the College Library shelves for the
benefit of the college students.
Nor are Promethean activities entirely confined to literary matters. Each year it
holds a picnic in which lunches, kodaks and showers figure.

HE aim of Omicron Nu is to awaken interest in and further the cause of Home
Economics, the value of which is coming to be felt more and more throughout
the country. This organization places special emphasis upon the attainment of
real scholarship, and social life enters only incidentally. Through it the mem-
bers wish to broaden their appreciation of the importance of science in the management
of the home. Omicron Nu is open to Juniors and Seniors pursuing work in Home
Economics.
At the tings this year we have considered the subjects of “ Pure Food and Its
Adulteration,” “ Current Events in Home Economics,” and the “‘ Consumer's League.”
Omicron Nu arranged for the celebration of Home Economics Day, December 3rd.
The President spoke on the origin and meaning of Home Economics Day. Miss Anna
M. Cooley, of Teacher's College, New York City, gave the principal address, on “ Per-
sonal Reminiscences of Ellen H. Richards —a subject upon which she is peculiarly
fitted to speak because of her personal acquaintance with Mrs. Richards for the greater
part of two years. After the meeting, those present took the opportunity to meet Miss
Cooley.
Since the Beta Chapter was installed here last year, Omicron Nu has grown in
number of chapters. The Gamma Chapter has been organized at the University of Iowa,
the Delta Chapter at the University of Indiana, and the Epsilon Chapter at the University
of Illinois.

BOWHE Commercial Club is the youngest of the College organizations, coming into
existence December 12, 1913. Since then “ efficiency of organization” has
been the watchword in its development. The Club has two principal aims,
viz., the fostering and development of a social spirit among its members, and
the broadening of their education through contact with business men and industries of
the city. To provide for this, two meetings are held each month. One is purely social
in its nature and is usually held at the home of some member. The other deals with the
business and educational side. It is held once a month at the College and consists of a
regular business meeting, discussions, reports and addresses by men of the business world
who can be secured for this. From time to time the Club is expected to go in a body
te visit some of the business houses and industrial plants of the capital district.
Students in this line of work feel that the Club will prove of great advantage to them
and a source of good fellowship.
Membership is open to those pursuing any course in the Commercial Department, and
who indicate their desire to join.

The Alumni Organizatinn
ROM 1845, the year when the first class was graduated from the Normal School,
until 1872, there were occasional meetings of the graduates. These gatherings
finally resulted, in 1872, in a proposal to form an Alumni Association of the
graduates of what was then the New York State Normal School. This
proposition was carried into effect and on June 30, 1873, the first meeting was held in
the Normal Chapel. At this time a constitution was adopted which stated, among other
things, that the organization should be called the ‘* Association of Graduates of the New
York State Normal School,” and that its object was “ to continue social relations among
the graduates "’ and make it possible through this Association for the members to keep in
touch with each other. There is now a living membership of more than four thousand
in the Association. By virtue of graduating from the Normal School, and College, one
becomes a member without going through the formality of any initiation. It was also
decided at this time that there should be one meeting every year. The first officers were:

This permanent ‘* Association of the Graduates of the New York State Normal
School ”” was affected when Joseph Alden was president of the Normal School, and he
did much to further its existence. The next president, Edward P. Waterbury, was also
interested in the Association and it was through his efforts that the first Historical Catalogue
was published.
From time to time the Association has bestowed gifts upon the School and College.
One of these was a beautiful stained-glass window and another was a bronze tablet to
the memory of those alumni who fought in the Civil War. Both of these gifts were
destroyed in the fire which ruined the Willett street home of the School and College in
1906. The bronze tablet was later replaced and is now on the wall of the main hall
of the Administration Building. In 1905, when Dr. Husted had been a member of
the faculty for fifty years, just after the Normal School had been chartered by the
Regents as a College, and some fitting memorial of Dr. Husted was desired, the Albert
N. Husted Fellowship Fund was established with the ideal of making it ten thousand
160 THE PEDAGOGUE OF 1914
dollars. It now amounts to thirty-three hundred dollars. After the establishment of
this fund it became necessary, in order that the Association might legally hold and
administer moneys, for it to become incorporated, and this was accomplished in 1907.
Since 1905 each graduating class has contributed some amount of money to this fund.
The Alumni Association from the start has been very successful in fulfilling its
object of “* continuing social relations,” so much so that seven years ago there was enough
enthusiasm to establish a branch Association in New York City, and this is now a very
flourishing and loyal organization.
The old Normal School has a right to be proud of its graduates. All of them
have been able to live bigger, broader lives because of their training in its class rooms,
and many have become prominent figures in the teaching profession and in other professions
as well. It is not the place of an article such as this to mention specific examples of
distinguished alumni, yet if it were in keeping to do so it would be easy to find names of
those who are leaders as principals, teachers, authors, doctors, lawyers, editors and
politicians. These men and women, through their splendid activities, have reflected
honor upon their School and College, and have helped to raise the standard to what it
now is. It is for us, the Class of 1914, and for all future classes, to lift even higher the
good standing of our College until on some near day the greatest and best institution of
learning throughout the land shall be our Alma Mater.

Kistury of Men's Athletics
HE first athletic team to represent the State Normal College was the basket ball
team, organized in the fall of 1909. It had a successful season, winning
and losing an equal number of games. The next year was opened by defeat-
ing St. Stephen's College by a close score, and closed with five victories and
four defeats.
In 1911-12 a good record was made, the team being defeated but once. This
game was lost to Pratt Institute, which was the strongest team yet played. The showing
made against them and the enthusiasm of the student body promised well for the future.
In the spring of 1912 the first baseball team was organized with J. H. Ward as
manager and Mr. Fitzpatrick as captain. The first game was lost by a close score to a
class team from R. P. I, The team was hampered by the small size of the squad and a
lack of funds, so but few games were played, in which S. N. C. was on the short end
of the score. However, a start had been made and it was seen that there was much
good baseball material in the College.
Both the baseball and basket ball seasons of 1912 and 1913 were characterized by
the loss of several games by close scores. In basket ball new men were being developed
and stronger college teams were played. This was also the last year that games were
played with high schools. The team was captained by Mr. Pratt, who was a hard and
enthusiastic worker for the team, both in the games and in practice. C. J. Wood was
manager and his earnest and able work was greatly appreciated.
The baseball schedule included games with the Albany Medical College, Brooklyn
College and St. John’s College of Brooklyn.
Ellner was captain of the team and greatly strengthened it by his brilliant playing
and his fast work on the bases.
The most important result of this season was the experience gained in meeting
stronger teams, since it showed that S. N. C. was capable of playing the larger colleges.
In March a track meet was held in the gymnasium under the direction of the
Athletic Association. This was the first meet of its sort held here and was won by the
Freshmen. Ellner, °13, was the highest individual point winner, getting first place in
four events, thus earning the silver medal. O. Hayford, ’16, was next with sixteen points,
receiving the bronze medal for second place.
In the spring the first interclass basket ball series was played, in which the Seniors
carried off the honors.
During this time the number of men in all departments of the College was steadily
increasing, especially in the industrial courses.
In the fall of 1913, in response to the growing needs of the athletic interests of the
men, Mr. A. Swaim, of St. Luke's School, Pa., was engaged as men’s physical director.
This proved a decided stimulus to the work in this department and results were seen, not
168 THE PEDAGOGUE OF 1914
only in the interest taken in gym classes, but also in the number of men coming out for
the teams.
The fall of 1913 was marked by numerous athletic activities. Baseball games were
played between a team from the Industrial Department and men from the classical and
scientific courses. The series was won by the industrial men, while much promising
material was found among the newcomers.
J. H. Ward, who played third base, was elected captain for the season of 1914,
with Mr. Emery manager.
Mr. Swaim called the men out for cross-country running and several reported.
After several weeks’ practice a race was held in which Mr. Pratt, "14, was first for the
College, and Mr. Hayford, '16, second.
A cup was offered in a tennis tournament in which many closely contested games
were played. Unfortunately the weather and the late hours of the industrial men pre-
vented its completion. Among those who were not eliminated were Mr. Rugg and
Mr. Ellner.
As an auspicious opening of the basket ball season, an A. A. tag day was held
from which about $45 was realized. This was used to purchase new suits for the
team, in which they made a very fine appearance.
In the season just closed the team more than made good our expectations, as it
was the most successful in the history of the institution. Ten games were won and only
three were lost.
The game with R. P. I. was rather unfortunate in several respects. It was
played very early in the season, our men were unused to the large court, and one of
our best guards was out of the game because of injuries.
Pratt Institute outplayed us in New York, but we turned the tables on them
here, and they won only by overtime play.
The prospects are bright for a strong team next year, although we lose three good
men; Captain Ellner, Mackler, and Pratt.
Captain Ellner played a star game throughout the season, proving himself worthy
of the captain's position. He was strong on the defense as well as accurate in shooting
goals. He played forward and was the quickest man on the team.
Fitzgerald played a good steady game, scoring more points than any of his team-
mates. His fine goal shooting added points to every score. He also played forward.
Robertson and Pratt at center were two good pivot men, always in the game
and hard players. ‘
Mackler and Curtis were a pair of dependable guards, always covering their men
well, and also able to help out by scoring points.
For the second team, Horowitz and Anderson were both capable forwards, scoring
most of the points for their team. Epstein, the captain, very ably filled his position
at center, out-jumping and out-playing his man in all games. McCarthy and Doyle
showed up well on the defense. :
STATE COLLEGE FOR TEACHERS 169
The interclass basketball games proved very interesting from the start. The Seniors
were put out of the running for honors by losing all three games. The Freshmen,
Sophomores, and Juniors tied for first place. The Sophomores won against the Juniors
by a score of 21-17. The game between the Sophs and Freshmen was very exciting.
The Sophs managed to win by a score of 24-19.
The Juniors and Freshmen played a game to decide second place, the Freshmen
winning by a score of 32-15.
The spirit in these games was good, and rivalry ran high. It is hoped that these
class games may help develop future Varsity material.
The indoor track meet held on March 18 was won by the Sophomores. This
was their second victory in two years. The following records were made and have
been placed on an athletic record board in the gymnasium. This should serve as an
encouragement in such events to those who are capable of development in these lines.
REcorbs.
Spring board high jump — Robb, 6 feet, 9 inches.
20-yard dash — Smith, 2 4-5 seconds.
High jump — Robb, 4 feet, I1 inches.
Rope climb — Epstein, 5 seconds.
Running broad jump — Epstein, 15 feet, 9 inches.
A gymnastic meet was given on March 27th, the proceeds of which went to
defray the expenses of the baseball season. The program consisted of drills, boxing,
wrestling, bag-punching, swinging of Indian clubs, apparatus work, and pyramids.
Thus we see that the year now drawing to a close has been one of activity in
gymnastics and athletics. A healthy, vigorous, and hopeful atmosphere has prevailed,
and enthusiastic college spirit has been manifested. The training has been careful,
scientific, and conscientious.
The various teams have played with courage, and with the steadiness which comes
from thorough practice. ‘The interest has never been more general. Tennis, cross-
country running, basketball, gymnastics, track and baseball have all received their full
share of attention in turn.
S. N. C’s enviable record for thorough sportsmanship has not only been ably
sustained, but has gained new prestige. The interest displayed by the lower classmen
promises well for the future,
In fact, the athletic outlook was never brighter nor more encouraging. There
was never so much good material available from which to organize teams. Our coaches
are second to none in ability, enthusiasm and experience.
We are proud of our record which has been made in some respects under difficulties.
We must now leave the honor of S. N. C. in this field, for which we have worked
so hard, to those who come after us. This we do in the hope that what we have done
may prove a worthy foundation; and also with the hope that future teams will preserve
unstained the consistent record of clean sportsmanship which has thus far existed.

Secretary and Treasurer.
N Athletic Association was formed in the College during the fall of 1909. It
counted among its membership both the men and the women of the College, and
its object was the promotion of athletic interests of S. N. C.
Tt was to basketball, however, that most attention was paid, and the "Varsity team
of the men and the interclass teams of the women prospered under the direction of the
association.
This organization, including both men and women, continued until the fall of 1911,
when the association separated, two distinct organizations being formed.
Mr. Samuel Hayford was chosen as president by the men, and the organization
thus formed has continued with little change to the present.
During 1911-12, when the Association decided to support a baseball team, the
question of obtaining sufficient funds at once arose. A committee of its members was
appointed to arrange for an entertainment under the auspices of the Association. The
production given was a success; the sketches presented showing originality and talent.
The proceeds though not large helped to defray the expenses of equipping the team.
At the end of the year Mr. Orris Emery was elected president to succeed Mr.
Hayford. In 1913 a track meet was held to encourage the men to take up this branch
of athletics and also to help the finances of the Association.
At the opening of the baseball season it was necessary that the team be provided
with new suits. Thanks to the strenuous efforts of the president and several of the
members, sufficient funds were raised and the team made a fine appearance in their new
uniforms.
As noted elsewhere, during the present year a tag day was held, also a track meet
under the direction of Mr. Swaim.
The office of Athletic Reporter was created and Stanley Fitzgerald was unanimously
elected to hold this for the present year.
Some changes having been made with regard to the granting of the letters, numerals,
etc., it was thought best to publish the constitution at this time.

Athena-Minerna
(Dedicated to our last class together, Psychology 2.)
RANDMOTHER DILL rocked back and forth in the squeaky rocker and
laughed. The squeak in the rocker is as necessary a part of Grandmother's
talk as The Apple is of Dr. Painter's.
“So you want to know —” Here her speech was interrupted by another burst
of laughter
Finally she calmed herself enough to repeat, ‘*So you want to know —,"” but she
could get no further. She simply rolled in her chair. If she were only other than tall
and skinny, a trifle more buxom in fact, her paroxysms might be described as the nursery
books so poetically describe Santa Claus. As it is I am forced to the prosaic; I must
say she “ simply rolled." To see her roll is as good as to hear Christie giggle in Psyc.
class. When Grandmother finally did manage to get out the rest of her sentence and
tell me what I wanted to know I could see no reason for quite so much mirth. But
Grandmother Dill is Grandmother Dill, or, as she expresses it, “* Pickles is pickles, an’
if you got to be a Dill one, why you might as well laugh to get the sour taste outer
your mouth.”
To proceed.
“So you want to know why they called me Athena-Minerva? ”
Then she gave this explanation interspersed with frequent bursts of laughter:
“Well, — you know them practice teachers say you hadn't ought to start with
well — well, they kinder got an idear when I was born that my head — mine — looked
like I was a-goin’ — an’ there’s one o’ them critics calls the last g on them words the
last syllable, an’ says your speech is very uncultured an’ unrefined an’ unpolished if you
leave "em off — well, as I was a-sayin’, it looked like I was a-goin’ to be some brains.
Didn't they get fooled tho? So they gave me the most appropriate name they could
think on — Athena-Minerva. Thought 0’ it ‘cause some garduatin’ class or something
like that over at the Normal School — called itself school in them days — had presented
their beloved Almer Mata with a figger 0’ the heathen goddess. “Twant a graduatin’
class neither. Seems to me there was a rumor that ‘twas somebody, I just can’t recollect
the name, — seems to me it began with S-u-p. I think they orter tacked on Venus-
Aphrodite onto my name too.
“Say, don't it get Sayles’ goat to see how them Juniors cut up in Ed? They
orter know better at their size an’ ages. An’ the heat in there do get Miss Warin's
goat. My. but it do beat all how I use slang nowadays. All due to havin’ so many
o’ them college boys ‘round here.”
“* But, Grandma, there aren’t many boys at College.”
“* Ain't they but one College? These fellers come from Medic an’ Union an’ Law
an’ R. P. I. an’ all over — an’ S. N. C. ‘course.””
“But what do they come for?”
180 THE PEDAGOGUE OF 1914
“Come for? Land, don't you know? Well, you sure are behind the tinaes!
(There I go with well again.) You know, about them Books around in the houses
where the College girls live? They have to put their doin’s in ‘em to save the recordin’
angel a little trouble. They can have only one man caller apiece a week. * First come,
first served,’ has got to be the rule or someone’s feelin’s is hurt. So these fellers line up
in my windows every afternoon to watch Elizabeth go by.” (Grandmother has a way of
calling people by the longest names she can get for them.)
“You know that tall, skinny president o' the Senior Class? Well, he was here
the other day.””
“Come to watch Elizabeth?
“Watch Elizabeth? Land no, child! His sister's her roommate, so he knows
better.
“Say, speakin’ about S. N. C. boys, I had a dream last night. I dreamed it
was some’at over fifty years from now, an’ I was at a meetin’ o’ noted eddicators. One
was a-speakin’. He hadn’t anything to spare this I way, but this — way —! His
hair was thick an’ kinky an’ white — kinda nice like — an’ he had a very emphatic way
o’ speakin’. He was a sayin’:
“* And now, my friends, in conclusion, let me say, remember the application step!
It’s the application step that counts. The application, the significance of the subject, the
application. Preparation, presentation, and the rest of the steps in the wonderful Her-
bartian method; but it is the application that counts. Why, my friends, 1 owe absolutely
to that and nothing else my fifty years as a successful teacher — and I say to you, not to
be conceited of course, that if I have met with success, it is all due to what? Why to
the application step. So, all dear young colleagues, let me drive this lesson home, let me
pound it into your heads—which I daresay is not necessary in such a_ brilliant
assemblage — that it is the application which counts. Sometimes it may be the application
of the rod, but so long as it is the application, the significance, that is all that matters.
The Application!* Loud applause.”
“Shades of the immortal History 10! °° I muttered. “I can hear Risley say,
“what is this application that you speak so glibly about?’ ”
Just at that moment the door opened and admitted Louis himself. Jennette and
Helen Q. and Christie and Virginia and J. Harry and several others followed.
“Did you skip Psyc. or were you dismissed from the room?" demanded
Grandmother.
“Skipped!” they chorused.
“Oh, look!" shouted Louis. ‘* There go Harry and Daisy.”
“ Aren't they sweet?” said J. H.
“What'd you say her name is? "’ questioned Jennette.
“O, she’s his Daisy,” giggled Christie.
“Now, why don’t you make a good pun while you're about it?’ demanded
Grandmother savagely. “‘ Say that, tho some days she looks more like a Pansy or Rose,
that he thinks of her as his Daisy Daily.”
STATE COLLEGE FOR TEACHERS 181
““Ha-ha! " from Louis, accompanied by a sharp slapping sound — Louis punishing
his poor knee for his mirth.
“I guess Psyc. must be over,” said Grandmother. ‘* The street seems to be filled
with happy seniors.”
Naomi Howells parted from Hazel Guernsey on the walk.
“Why didn’t Hazel come in? " someone asked as Naomi entered.
“Why she said she couldn't. She had a complete young traveling library of
reference books under her arm. I'll leave the inference to you.””
“Hello, Abbie,” came from Helen Q.
We turned to see the said lass enter.
“Oh, dear,” she wailed. “I've had a perfectly awful time. I skipped Psyc. to
go over on Central Ave. and buy some collar supports. I hunted everywhere before I
could get the kind I wanted.’’ She held up some wiggly, snake-like affairs. ‘* Central
Ave. is the worst place to shop. They need something better right here where we H. E.
people are. [Abbie is particular — very — you see.] I could have gotten these for 5
cents downtown. I paid 10 up here. Just think 10c to support one collar! ”
J. H. was musing. “If it takes 10 cents to support a collar, how much would
it take to support a wife? "’ he said dreamily and despondently.
“ Depends on what kind of a wife you collared,” said Grandmother sharply.
“Say!"’ said Christie, ‘* I've thought of something. If Harry and Louis Warred,
‘Wood Chester Orr Leon Go-way Quick? ””
“No,” said Harold coming in, “they'd Wait. Frances Wood, too, and Bill
Ken (excuse my English) nedy.”
“The meeting will come to order,” said Grandmother, tapping her squeaky rocker
with her thimble. She hates bum puns.
“ We are degenerating with our jokes,” said Virginia. ‘* Here comes Anna Rickon.
Maybe she can help us out. We're making bum puns, Anne. Can't you help us out? ”
“The idea! Do you mean to infer that J make bum puns, too. I like that!"
“No. I didn’t mean thal —"
“ That's all very well. My feelings are injured beyond repair.”
“ Tee-hee-hee,”” from the girls of the crowd.
“Come on, girls, stop your Warring,” said Louis pacifically. “‘ We meant, Miss
Rickon, that you should make good jokes.”
“Oh, dear, no. I can’t. My head is still too full of Darwin and Copernicus and
Galileo and Newton and Meumann and association and ‘Sure, why not?’ and G.
Stanley Hall and the recapitulation theory and ‘ it’s all bosh! * and Kepler and Immanuel
Kant and Freud and Meikeljohn and Miinsterburg and ‘ my university’ and — oh, I’m
all out of breath.”
“Say,” said Grandmother, “I know Psyc’s the last class you Seniors got all
together, but don’t you think you'd understand each other’s gab just as well if you
gossiped about other classes?
182 THE PEDAGOGUE OF 1914
“Sure, why not?’ Let's talk about Jennette’s first cake in cooking class,” and
Pat Casey chanted:
“* She measured out the butter with a very solemn air;
The milk and sugar also; and she took the greatest care
To count the eggs correctly and to add a little bit
Of baking powder, which, you know, beginners oft omit.
Then she stirred it all together and she baked it full an hour;
But she never quite forgave herself for leaving out the flour.’ ”
“Would someone be so kind as to answer these questions? ” asked Naomi. “* Which
are we, a society made up of individuals, or individuals making up society? Which
came first, society or the individual; the hen or the egg? Did anyone answer that fifth
question on exam — about greenbacks — right? Mr. Ward, you talk quite a bit in
Sociology. Do you know? ”
“Oh, I say,” said someone, “ let’s have a question box. I hope it is more successful
than those they try to start in classes sometimes.””
“You can use my work box to put your questions in,” said Grandmother. “* Put
your own answers on the papers if you want to.”
For the next few minutes there was a busy scratching of pens in “ large, loose-leaf
note books” and a tearing of paper. Grandmother passed around the box.
“Listen to Minerva,"’ she began as she pulled out one white strip. “* Question
No. | —* Why is a practice teacher like an automobile?’ Answer: * Because there
is always something the matter with it.’ ”
“Ha-ha!” began Harold. ‘‘ I've got another. * Why is a critic like a garage?
Because that’s where the automobiles go for repairs and gas.’ Ha-ha! ””
Grandmother bent her eyebrows on him. ‘* Question No. 2
Pedagogue like the wolf in the fable? Because it’s in a sheep’s skin.’ ”
Just then Gertrude W. blew in.
“T can't stay long,” she panted. “I told Miss Dunsford I'd be back to play
basketball.”
“ Question No. 3—‘ Why didn’t Elmore take his girl to the Junior Prom?’ That
wasn’t hard to see,”” added Grandmother tossing the question into the waste basket.
“ Question No. 4 —* Doesn’t it seem natural to see Louis with a new girl?’ ”
“* Question No. 5 —* Are Grace and Maud one?’ ”
“No, 6 —‘ How can we build an S. N. C. home for aged and destitute school
teachers? I want this answered now.’ Thats Harold’s writing. He's afraid he won't
get a teacher's pension.”
““ Why I think the faculty would give us Birchenough, and we have a few Woods
right in the Senior class,”’ volunteered Gertrude, blushing.
“Chester Wood probably find the Wells,” boomed Orris.
“And we'd have an Emery board to sharpen the Steele,” said some H. E. girl.
Queer how they are always thinking about the kitchen.
‘Why is The
STATE COLLEGE FOR TEACHERS 183
“ And the Physics department could furnish the weather with some Hale thrown
in now and then for seasoning,” said someone else.
“T think we ought to go to Reynolds’ for the furniture and to Hageman’s for the
baked stuff,” was the next offering.
“Tn the Case of furniture I don’t think it Wood Bee Wright to go to Reynolds’;
it’s an installment plan house; you get too little for your money,” said some practical soul.
“ Well, we've got a Rugg right here in college.”
“T'll give you a Button for the work box,” said Marion.
“I own a Pier glass,” said a girl with carefully kinked hair.
“Stop!” screamed Grandmother. ‘* Get me my smelling salts quick! I'm sorry
I called for this answer. Of all the miserable jokes! You ain’t left out nothin’ but
the Green house filled with Berry Plantz an’ the Barnum an’ Baillie Circus with its
Campbells an’ Lyons an’ Robbins an’ a few other animals. If you don’t stop I shall
have to take a Knapp on this couch I bought at Reynolds’.””
She sniffed the salts vengefully and continued the questions.
“No. 7 —* What is the eternal question?’ Well, I'll tell you, young folks, I'll
tell you that myself. Over at Normal it seems to be * Where'll I get a Man for the
Junior Prom. next year?’
“No. 8 —* What happened to the basketball team at R. P. [.?” I think it
safest to let that be answered where they ain’t so many folks to get wrathy — in
Promethean Literary Society, perhaps.
“No. 9—‘A Senior once while reading the evening paper remarked to Marie
Schnitzler (she’s a Freshie), ‘Oh, Mona Lisa’s recovered! ”’ ** She is?’ asked Marie.
“Has she been sick?” Now, is a Freshie like that naive or merely stupid? ’”
“Ask Miss Perine,” said an art student. I think it was Marion Wheeler.
“No. 10 —* What is a “ relic of concentrated folly in antiquated pedagogy? ""”
[This story is related to one on the concentrated folly side. Let's ring off.]
“Well,” said Grandmother, “* it’s time for my boys to come. All 0” you clear out
o’ here. There’s Curtis now. Good-bye! Good-bye! Good-bye! ”
The next morning Grandmother said she dreamed that night that she saw Dean
Blue down at the lunch counter trying to buy a "14 armband of a shade to just match his
name. She declared it was the natural result of the miserable puns we had punished
her with the previous afternoon. Her chair squeaked when she said it. At the same
time I thought I could hear an accompaniment better than any S. N. C. orchestra—
a very buxom young giggle. “‘ Say, Christie, by the way, why didn’t you buy those
flowers for your garage? ”
“Rac,” "14.
184 THE PEDAGOGUE OF 1914
A good deacon once sat down on the pointed end of a tack. Greatly excited he
made a rash exclamation, the latter part of which was it! Anyone correctly
guessing the first part and inclosing $2.25 will receive free a copy of the Pedagogue.
Mary had a little lamb,
Tho now the lamb is dead,
Still it follows her to school
Between two hunks of bread.
L. Ward —I had a dream last night.
Goewey (absentmaindedly) — Who was she?
Hash is nothing but a recurrence at a subsequent meal of the remnants of a previous
Tepast.
Practice Teacher — Decline the adjective sick.
Student — Sick, worse, dead.
Ly-ns — Do you like tea?
Em-ry —I like the next letter better.
Jones — Bill, you know that little dog I have down at my house?
Smith — Yes.
Jones — Well, he tried to commit suicide this afternoon.
Smith — Why, that’s strange. What did he do?
Jones — He made an awful grab for his tail and said, ‘* This is the end."”
Pardon me for walking on your feet.
Never mind, I walk on them myself,
Senior — Where have I seen your face before?
Freshie — Right where it now is.
STATE COLLEGE FOR TEACHERS 185
The fraction leaned over and touched the whole number on the shoulder: “* Say,
is my numerator on straight? "”
‘What's the most nervous thing next to a girl?
Me, next to a girl.
A little iron, a cunning curl,
A box of powder, a pretty girl,
A little rain, away she goes,
A homely girl with a freckled nose.
C-ra D-nb-v: I just dropped two invisible hairpins. Has anybody seen them?
To remove ink-stains: Fill your mouth with Spirits of Salts and then suck the fingers
thoroughly.
W-dw-d: Hear about the new kind of poison?
De-Gr-chy: No, what?
W-dw-d: Aeroplane poison — one drop and you're dead.
(Loud cries from the Seniors’ bench in the upper hall.)
Ever eat a tango sandwich?
No. What's that?
A little chicken and “‘ Too Much Mustard.”
Practice Teacher in Geometry: What's that noise?
Student: We're dropping perpendiculars.
Heard in Physics Methods: Now, let us get down to brass tacks, and right off
the bat I should say it was a hinky-dinky what-not.
Heard in Psychology: Class, I am a relic of the folly of antiquated pedagogy.
Heard in Advanced French: He would out-flabbergast the professional flabber-
gaster.
