The strike of the students of The Peun- sylvania State College was declared off last Tuesday night and Wednesday mornivg the entire student body went back to work. The trouble between the students and the faculty of the institution was precipitated by an order which made it impossible for the former to use ‘‘cuts,” that they had banked, as an excuse for remaining at home over the Friday, Saturday and Sunday fol- lowing the Thanksgiving recess. There were other and more serions reasons of complaint by the students, but they were not brought to light until a joint meeting of the faculty, trustees, alumni representa- tives and students was held on Tuesday. Then it became known that aside from the misunderstanding relative to the use of ‘‘outs’’ the students had a grievance be- cause three of the professors of the institn- tion, the heads of the largest departments at the college, were giving time to outside and private business ventures that the stu- dents rightfully claimed should be devoted to them and their work. The whole contention bas ended happi- ly, and we hope beneficially, for hoth the faculty and the students. It should nos have occurred in the first place and had the students been a little less impulsive and the faculty not insisted upon maintaining a false ‘‘dignity,” that basa tendency to repel rather than to get to the hearts of the boys in the school, there would have heen none of the trouble that existed for nine days. - The acute and serious phase of the strike, as it appeared to us, is to be found in the fact that its worst effect would have been suffered by the institution itself. Faoul- ties, hoards of trustees and students are but shifting, transient factors at best, but the institution must live on, growing in usefulness and spreading the beneficence of its educational advantages over the youth of generations long after the present disputants have passed away. [It is prob- ably true that every professor and instruc- tor at State could have found another equally desirable situation. It is also prob- ably true that a large percentage of the students conld have completed their educa- tion elsewhere, hut what wonld have be- come of The Pennsylvania State College? It would have taken another fifty years of the same struggle that has marked the past half century to have recained the position it holds to day and even then the College would have been hopelessly in the rear of the ever progressing institutions of learn- ing. Little else was to have heen expected, but it must be recorded to their credit that during the nine days of the strike the stu- dents comported themselves with that sen- sible bearing that has respect for the per- sonal and property rights of all persons, The conditions upon which they retnrned 0 work can scarcely be termed a concession on either side. It was more a sane conclu- sion to work out together a system that will in the future bring the student and the professor at The Pennsylvania State College into that community of feeling and regard for each other that will prove more of a trinmph than acres of buildings. The absence of the boys during the strike will not militate against them in their college standing. In the fature they may take their ‘“‘cuts’ at any time exocept at the Christmas and Thanksgiving holi- days. Shouid the student body ask for more than one day at Thanksgiving the time is to be taken off their Christmas re- cess.” ‘‘Cats’ can also be taken ont with- in twenty-four hours of any holiday except Christmas and Easter. The other griev- ances were left for future adjustment by the tribunal that so successfully solved Tuesday’s problem. We congratulate the faculty, we con- gratulate the students aud, most of all, we congratulate the community of State Col- lege, where so mapy business enterprises would have suffered, that the trouble is over. SE — With Pleasure, The WATCHMAN takes pleasure in com- plying with the request of ‘‘A Once Centre County Teacher’’ by publishing the follow- ing from Wednesday’s issue of the Philips- burg Ledger. THE RETORT COURTEOUS. The readers of the Bellefonte Watchman of a couple weeks ago, could not help noticing the complimentary (2) item pertaining to the * dress of the Centre county teachers while in attendance at institute at that place. We wonder how the Bellefonte people would have the teachers dress while in their town in order to escape critical remarks, As to the standard of education in the county compar- ed with that of any other place, we will hope it is as good as can be found in Pennsylvania, The general wish of most teachers is that Bellefonte shall not have the chance soon again to criticise, but that some other town may have the institute another year, Will the Watchman please copy? A ONCE CENTRE COUNTY TEACHER, The paragraph referred to above appear- ed in the Watchman of November 17th, and is as follows: If some of the lady school teachers of Cen. tre county were as progressive in their school work as they appear to be in the art of millinery and dress making Centre county would soon be furnishing a horde of mental prodigies to the world. We confess that we are unable to discover either sarcasm or a desire to be pncompli- mentary in the offending paragraph. The truth is the writer was struck by the prosperous, stylish appearance of the teach- ers and meant anything else than a reflec- tion on them. And we reitterate the state- ment that if they are as progressive in their educational efforts—and we bave no reason to think they are not—as they are in their apparel the schools of the county must cer- tainly be manned to the highest degree of proficiency.
