SCRUBS TO THE FORE!
Many new faces will be seen on varsity teams in all winter sports
this coming season Basketball, wrestling, and boxing veterans
have joined the ranks of the alumni, and the coaches in search ot
varsity material are carefully considering all candidates. A situation
different from that of the past tew years now faces them. Formerly
only a few vacancies had to be filled, but this coming season, in a
number of cases, the great majority of the team must be selected
from second-string men or from new candidates, thus offering the
scrubs an opportunity to display their true value
Followers of Penn State athletics will watch with interest the
results which such combinations can bring about With no founda
tion upon which to build, will the Nittany coaches be able to construct
winning teams 5 Speculation is being aroused whether the almost
phenomenal success of the football team can be repeated m other
sports Duector Bezdek was confronted with almost the same pro
blem this fall when a very small minority of the 1920 grid eleven re
mained as a nucleus about which to put together, a football machine
The results obtained show that the master mechanic designed and
selected the parts with uncanny wisdom.
Will men arise from the ranks of the substitutes to fill the re
sponsible varsity positions 5 Will they profit by the experience of
past seasons of gruelling work? At all events, no matter what the
outcome of the winter season may'be, the students will be assured
the best from the players, and the coaches and the teams will have
-the’confidence that the entire student body is backing them in their
efforts ,
THE SOPHOMORE HOP
The Class of 1924 has taken a forward step in deciding to hold
a Sophomore Hop some time this winter. This function, akin to
similar affairs held in many other colleges and universities for the
second year men, will better acquaint the members with their class
mates and will serve to bind the class closer together.
Some say that there has been too great an increase m the num
ber of social activities at Penn State. However, we must remember
that Penn State has grown and more activities must be provided if
all are to have an opportunity of enjoying the events
This dance will no doubt be supported enthusiastically by the
class of 1924 and will in time become a custom of the Sophomores.
PENN STATE CREAMERY
DOES LARGE BUSINESS
Great Quantity Of Cheese, Ice
Cream, and Butter Produced
At Creamery Monthly
Tho Penn State Creamery has been
doing a large amount of business dur
ing the last year, although its work is
done so quietly and efficiently that the
students hear veiy little about it. It
is rather interesting to hear tho re
port o£ tlie business which this very
Important depai tment ol tho college
has been transacting and accordingly
a few ot the figures are quote*! here
During the > eaq that has just passed
the three hundred patrons of tho crem
ery have delivered 2,007,13 G pounds of
milk and 021,869 pounds of cream For
these products the creamery paid the
farmeis 5163,235 00 and converted this
milk and cream Into 213.325 pounds of
butter, 79,771 pounds of cheese, and
8,296 gallons of Ico cream. Besides
this they made considerable amounts
of condensed and evaporated milk.
This dairy organization with Its com
plete equipment and largo supply of
raw material naturally affords excel
lent facilities for students in the Dairy
Husbandry corn so to learn to become
proficient in the manufacture of all
forms of dairy products
Tho Totail sales room connected with
the creamery Js very well patronized
by students and others and has been
the outlet for a large proportion of tho
Ice-cream manufactured in tho cream
ery .
Expert dieticians state that every
child should consume one quart ot
milk dally, and adults should use at
least ono pint each day It is safo to
say that Penn State students —or at
least -that portion of them who fre
quent Ag Hill —keep well above these
recommendations. In view of the huge
amounts of milk, buttonnilk, cheese,
and ico cream purchased at the sales
room In tho Dairy Building

THE.PENN'STATE'COJLIiEGLAN
DEAN CHAMBERS SPEAKS
ON EDUCATIONAL CRISIS
Peace of World Depends Mainly
On Education—Deplores Lack
Of School Facilities
Dean W, G Chambers, formerly
Dean of Education at the University:
of Pittsburgh, and. now Dean of the
Summer Season ihoro, delivered the i
first lecture of the Tuesday Evoning |
Lectures under the* auspicos of the,
I School _of liberal Arts, last Tuesday!
1 evening in the Old Chapel, taking as
the subject foe his talk “The Educa- |
j tlonal Crisis" Dean. Chambers’ work t
previous to coming to Penn State j
brought him into close contact with!
the most prominent educators of the
country andimade him thoroughly cap
able of discussing his subject In the I
most efficient manner. The time of 1
the lecture was opportune, coming as
it docs during the .week that President
Harding has set apart as Educational |
"Week over the entire country
Dean Chambers seemed inclined to
viow his topic In a pessimistic way,
because, os he brought out, it is best !
to 'see the dark side of the problem in 1
order that we may sec hsw f to_ remedy i
it. Ho spoke of the '"groat disarma-1
ment conference now being held in |
Washington and observed that no mat* |
ter what the outcome happens to be,
the maintenance of peace and world
eongrulty lies, not in the hands of the j
heads of the nations, but in the hands J
of -the educators of the country, who,]
by Instilling in the mlndkof their pu
pils an abhorance and a lovej
of peace, may confirm the hope of I
the future peace of the whole world ;
The United States spends more mon-j
ey annually for the education of its)
people than all the rest'of the coun
tries of the world Within the last
few years, the amount used to educate I
the average person has increased from |
seventeen dollars to forty-nine dollars
And jot, despite this Increase, the in
crease in the number of students has
been much greater than the money
spent in educating theraT The situa
tion is vital arid Is recognized by edu
cators as the most important Question
confronting the nation and the indi
vidual states today
Dean Chambers summarized the
whole sitiiation in a few words Only
forty per cent of the teachers who
now hold positions in the public
: schools are suitably equipped for their
work with a secondary .school educa
tion or anywhere near its equivalent

Again, whllo legislations have been
passed which roqulro all children of
school ago to attend school, it has ap
parently over-looked the fact that
there arc .not enough schools toehold
them An unrest in education exists
all over the country and it is a rare
community indeed ivhiah has not
'reached its limit for school taxation.
The tests made during the war on the
soldiers brought out the fact tha wo
are a nation of sixth-graders, for the
statistics complied as a result of those
tests showed that throe per cent of
the men of army age were below the
degree of Intelligence assigned to ten
year old children by psychological
tests There exists in Pennsylvania
today a six per cent Illiteracy, and yot
we regard ourselves as fairly progres
