COUNTY TEACHERS’ INSTITUTE.
Able Instructors and Interesting
Talks Attract a Large
Attendance.
The seventy-sixth annual session of
he teachers’ institute for Centre
county, held in Bellefonte this week
was largely attended. The opening
session began at 1:30 on Monday
afternoon with devotional exercises
led by Rev. George E. Smith, of the
United Brethren church. In the ab-
sence of Prof. Ted R. Griffith, of Ed-
wardsville, Mrs. Morris Krader con-
ducted the music, the institute joining
heartily in singing a number of fa-
miliar songs.
County superintendent David O. Et-
ters spoke cheering words of welcome
to the three hundred or more teach-
ers, especially urging the younger
teachers to occupy front seats in the
room and pay close attention to all
the talks.
Secretary S. S. Aplin, of the Y. M.
C. A,, was introduced and invited the
teachers to attend a meeting of the
Parent-Teachers’ association held in
the High school auditorium that even-
ing. The institute then joined in sing-
ing “Smile, Smile, Smile,” and “Smiles
in Style,” after which Dr. L. H. Beeler
was introduced as the first instructor.
He stated that the members would get
out of institute just about what they
put into it. The forces that make men
originated with the bible text, “Let us
make man.” All problems are human
problems. What you are in life at any
one time is determined by three
things: What you are; what you
have; what you do. We are by nature
first, religious; it is a great control-
ling force. Second, instinctive life, a
powerful dynamic. Play instinct is
dominant in children. Third, body.
Fourth, temperament. These things
we inherit from our ancestors. Fifth,
capacity for work. What you have:
Home, church, school.
Following another session of song
Prof. J. F. Guy, of Pittsburgh, was in-
troduced and talked on the subject,
“The Making of Jim.” He started out
by describing “James,” then told of
“Jimmy” and elaborated on “Jim,” a
combination of the two, thus demon-
strating the duality of boys, or chil-
dren. Pupils must be trained accord-
ing to the inherited innate traits of
character. He told the teachers that
children must not be considered as
small adults but must be brought up
the ladder of knowledge step by step,
according to their capacity of ab-
sorption.
TUESDAY MORNING SESSION.
The Tuesday morning session open-
ed at nine o’clock with the song,
“Father, Lead Me.” Rev. E. E. Mc-
Kelvey being unable to be present de-
votional services were led by Dr.
Beeler. Mrs. Krader then sang “Just
a Wearyin’ for You,” after which
Prof. Guy talked on testing achieve-
ment in spelling. Decisions of teach-
ers vary in regard to this important
study. Individual human judgment is
not accurate, but composite judgments
are more nearly so.
Following a brief session of music
Dr. Lee L. Driver was introduced. In
his talk he stated that two men of
tomorrow must do the work of three
men of today; but they must be edu-
cated to do it. The rural school is
necessary to accomplish this. The one
room school should be made the best
school, with the best teacher at best
salary, in best building and with
good play ground equipment. Consol-
idation of schools must come, but it
will take time.
In speaking of the ’teen age life Dr.
Beeler stated that it is the second line
of defense of any nation. First, be-
cause deep down in the heart of every
boy and girl is action. Second, hero-
life and hero-worship of boys and
girl. Third, sex life of boys and girls.
Visual education and moving pictures
have come to stay. We must have
clean pictures for our boys and girls,
and their social life must be guarded.
Fourth, a liking for some one thing.
Help them to find it. Boys and girls
all want to be producers for the world.
Three questions every boy and girl
will ask, are: What can I know?
What can I do? Whom shall I serve?
TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
Institute opened on Tuesday after-
noon with another session of song
after which Dr. Driver asked as test
questions, “what is the greatest char-
acteristic of a teacher?” Nearly
every answer had in it some form of
friendship. “Who has gone into your
lives the most?” mother and college
professor to be eliminated. Twenty-
three out of twenty-four answered
“some one of my teachers.” Every
teacher should be religious and grow
in a religious life. Every teacher
should grow normally and mentally.
Every teacher should sing. School
should be the centre of community
life. The teacher should be so dy-
namic that he or she becomes the
centre of community activities.
Following a refreshing period of
song Dr. Beeler talked on the chang-
ing concept in education. Intelligence
reaches the brain through the special
senses. The whole child goes to
school; not the mental child only.
Have the best man representing each
of the vocations of life talk to the pu-
pils. Teach boys and girls that they
must specialize early if they want to
get far in their chosen profession.
Great progress has been made in all
he professions. The task of the
teacher is the greatest task in the
world.
Continuing his talk on spelling
Prof. Guy proved that we are attempt-
ing to teach too many words. He ad-
vocated the selection of the most nec-
essary words, or those in common use
day after day. In teaching spelling
we must determine what words to
spell and how to teach those words.
Get it into the muscular system as
well as in the mind. The method of
instruction should include teaching
words in class; independent study and
test of spelling.
At this period the names of the
members of the standing committees
were announced and the chairman of
each committee introduced to the in-
stitute.
Prof. C. L. Gramley was called upon
for a speech and he confined his re-
marks to timely and pertinent infor-
mation relative to the teachers’ retire-
ment association.
Col. J. L. Spangler being in the
room was called to the floor by
county superintendent D. O. Etters
and in his usually happy manner re-
counted some of his experiences as a
teacher fifty years ago. He also point-
ed out the most striking differences
in methods between teaching in those
days and now. At the conclusion of
his remarks institute adjourned.
WEDNESDAY MORNING SESSION.
Mrs. M. R. Krader led the opening
musical program and in place of the
customary devotional services Dr.
Beeler told the story of the Good Sa-
maritan after which the entire insti-
tute joined in the Lord’s prayer.
Prof. Guy opened the instructional
exercises with a talk on testing
achievement in arithmetic. He stated
that infallible tests show first, where
a pupil is; second, where he ought to
be; and third, the method by which he
can be put where he should be.
The second speaker of the morning
was Supt. Richard Park, of Sullivan
county, Ind.,, who discussed the value
of a teacher. In his address he said
we must work along at our job and not
envy any one else. All service is the
same with God, no one better than
any other. The teacher is a servant,
and in the service required may be the
greatest. It is not the position that
we fill, but how we fill it.
A five minute recess was given the
teachers after which there was anoth-
er session of music, then Dr. Beeler
told the teachers of Some problems
not in the course of study, beginning
with leadership. The teacher is, or
should be the leader in the communi-
ty. Every man and woman who wants
to be a leader must be neat and clean.
Under the head of principles he stat-
ed first, that the leadership of the
world must have its preparation.
Second, the leadership of the world
must know where it wants to go, must
have a great purpose. Third, the
leadership of the world must be in
advance of the erowd, but must keep
in touch with it. Fourth, the leader-
ship of the world must sense a world
need. Dr. Beeler’s explanations of
his various propositions were very in:
teresting and he was listened to with
marked attention.
WEDNESDAY ATTERNOON.
Owing to an irritated eye Prof. Guy
was unable to continue his instruction
and departed for his home on the
afternoon train. Because of this fact
Supt. Park took the first period and
talked on the teacher and the patron.
He divided his subject as follows:
Plant, patron, pupil, teacher. He
compared the teacher with a doctor
and other professional people, but de-
clared that the teacher was generally
found to be more influential in a com-
munity than any other professional
person. In teaching a teacher must
first know his subject matter. Sec-
ond, measure his pupils individually,
and third, put the knowledge across to
the pupil in such a way that he will
think and understand. The teacher
must touch the life of the community.
Following a brief intermission Miss
Sarah Shuey sang a solo and Miss
Shuey and Miss Sunday favored the
institute with a piano duet. .
In discussing some life problems
for teachers Dr. Beeler said, teach
boys and girls the power of initiative.
He told the teachers to read the book,
“A Message to Garcia,” if they have
never done so. In discussing mental
alertness he said that the only knowl-
edge that lasts is that which goes over
into experience. Other essentials are
physical fitness and reserve power;
social efficiency, and spiritual sensi-
tiveness, the greatest of all. Here are
the pathways that lead to power for
every teacher—knowledge turned into
wisdom; fellowship; spirit of com-
munion.
Miss Elizabeth Meek told of the
work being done among the school pu-
pils by Miss Watters, the dental hy-
gienist. Her work is only prophylac-
tic, not corrective, hence she does not
interfere with dental practice. A
demonstration was then given by Miss
Watters, after which institute ad-
journed.
THURSDAY MORNING SESSION.
The opening musical exercises
Thursday morning were greatly ap-
preciated by institute. After the ren-
dition of “Holy, Holy, Holy,” Dr. Bee-
ler read the scripture lesson and then
Mrs. Krader sang a solo, accompany-
ing herself on the zither, and she was
compelled to respond to two encores.
Dr. Beeler occupied a brief period in
discussing the community life, or
houses without fronts. Supt. Park
talked on discipline, stating that
school is a place for work during ses-
sion and play during the recess per-
iod. We want the kind of discipline
that is spontaneous on the part of the
pupil, not that which is compelled by
force. When a child hears or sees a
thing done he wants to do it, too. A
teacher must have a worth-while pro-
gram and know what each pupil is to
do, if she wants a well disciplined
school. It takes serious thought to
discipline a school properly.
Mr. Sterling, of the Department of
Public Instruction, gave an explana-
tion of the record books in use by
teachers.
Dr. Anderson, in behalf of State
College, made an appeal for the two
million dollar building fund.
The institute will close with this
morning’s session.
Penn State’s Home County Must Go
Over the Top.
The local campaign for The Penn-
sylvania State College $2,000,000
emergency building fund is now un-
der way. Mr. O. B. Malin, of the de-
partment of metallurgy, has consent-
ed to take the Bellefonte chairman-
ship and Mr. J. O. Miller will assist
him in the drive.
The personnel of the present citi-
zens committee contains the names of
Mrs. Elizabeth Olewine, George R.
Meek, and Hon. Henry C. Quigley,
and others will be announced later.
It is hoped that the campaign can
be completed here in two weeks, so
that the home county will be over the
top. Centre county’s quota is $75,000,
but $65,000 of this has already been
subscribed, of which $45,000 has come
from the faculty at Penn State and
$17,000 from the town of State Col-
lege. Bellefonte, Philipsburg, Snow
Shoe, Millheim, Centre Hall, Boals-
burg, Milesburg, Port Matilda and
other places have not been solicited as
yet.
Mrs. Olewine will be the local pub-
licity representative and hereafter will
see that all publications receive no-
tices and news of the progress. Sub-
scriptions have been received in Belle-
fonte to date varying from $100 to
$1000.
Armistice Day Celebrated by Ameri-
can Legion.
Armistice day last Saturday was
duly celebrated in Bellefonte by the
Brooks-Doll post of the American Le-
gion. All business places closed
promptly at eleven o’clock and re-
mained closed until 12:30. At eleven
o'clock the American Legion, the
Woman’s Auxiliary, the Boy Scouts
and Girl Scouts, led by the Odd Fel-
lows band, marched to the Diamond
and lined up in mass formation.
Promptly at the zenith hour, 11:10,
bells were tolled and whistles blown
for two minutes.
Rev. M. DePui Maynard, chaplain of
the Legion, offered prayer, after
which the band played “America.”
John B. Payne, Legion commander,
then read the Armistice day address
and the exercises closed with “The
Star Spangled Banner” by the band.
The parade .then marched to Linn
street and countermarched to the Dia-
mond, thence down High street to the
railroad and countermarched to the
American Legion rooms, where it was
dismissed.
Bellefonte Girl Elected Class Presi-
dent.
At the Freshman co-ed class meet-
ing held at State College last Thurs-
day night, Miss Mary Chambers, of
Bellefonte, was elected president of
the Freshman class. This election was
the final choice of the class in regard
to officers, three sets having been
given short trials.
Miss Chambers is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Chambers, of
Bellefonte, and a graduate of the
Bellefonte High school in the class of
1922. The other Freshman officers
elected were Miss Dorothy Tobias, of
Mount Carmel, vice president, and
Miss Helen Doty, of Reading, secre-
tary and treasurer. The three girls
selected to lead the first year class
have distinguished themselves in their
work for the $2,000,000 drive being
carried on through the State for stu-.
dent health and welfare buildings.
The new officers have worked hard in
the student campaign, and were large-
ly responsible for the success of the
drive among the first year co-eds.
Musical Recital at Centre Hall.
A large audience gathered in the
Evangelical church at Centre Hall,
last Friday evening, to enjoy a musical
recital given by the pupils of Miss
Byrd Stover, of Rebersburg. The
program consisted of piano solos, du-
ets and trios, which were exceedingly
well rendered. The violin club played
several selections and three little girls
delighted the audience with their vio-
in solos. Miss Stover has a large
class in piano and violin instruction
and deserves much credit for the
progress of her work in Centre Hall.
As a token of their appreciation of her |’
work the class presented her with a
beautifully engraved gold Eversharp
pencil.

burg.
Work has just been started on the

nected generator in the power plant
