Junior Normal Notes
On Thursday morning nt the I'liap
1 hour we again had the pleasure
of listening to Dr. Beat tie His
message held a rebuke and an In
spiration; a rebuke to the short
sighted attitude towards life so com
mon in every age of the world, and
not less In ours; and an Inspiration
to a better and more reasonable :
way. Shall we be like the midges
on a summer's day. following a blind
impulse to purposeless activity, pur-1
poseless at any rate as far as they
are concerned, mere passive links
in the chain of Natures evolution;
or shall we consciously choose to
share the purpose, the effort, the
final Joy of achievement, nay the
very essence and nature of the Di
vine itself? What says the poet?
"Yet 1 doubt not, through the
ages one increasing purpose runs
And the thoughts of men are
widened with the process of the
suns."
And if our thoughts are not being
widened, and our heart enlarged,
ay by day, what is the use or
meaning of the otherwise futile
dally rouund. We work that we may
eat and we eat that we may work,
and life is one great big hopeless
chore. That which we do must be
done over and yet again; and still
we are no "forrader" than a kitten,
at the end of ten minutes spent chas
ing its own tail! Every selfish
pleasure must be paid for by some
one's suffering and cares; and by
an inevitable law reacts to destroy
the one who Indulges in it. Man
kind may be compared to a ship
wrecked crew on a raft; and those
who live for their own gratification
to one who from a limited supply of
water thoughtlessly or deliberately
quencheB his own thirst without re
gard to the common needs, or
chances for enduring to ultimate de
liverence, of them all.
"Have," says Dr. Beattle," a pur
pose that reaches clear to the very
end." Horace Maynard, who was
Postmaster General under President
Hayes' administration, when at Am
herst College had a card with a large
"V" on it tacked up In a prominent
position In his room; nor would he
tell its meaning to curious enquir
ers, till the end of his course. wh
he explained to a friend who pressed
him to reveal the secret that th '
letter stood for "Valedictorian", and i
represented the mark htat he had j
set for his ambition at the beginning
of his college career, and was a con
stant reminder of the necessity for !
concentrating his powers on the ac-1
compllshraent of his purpose and for
cutting outt all that might prevent !
or risk defeating that desired re-1
suit. Champ Clark and Dr. Beattle
studied together at college; and ev-;
en at that time the future Missouri '
statesman was determined to go to'
Congress and showed how constantly
In mind was that ambition by fre
quently interrupting the course of j
......... . ; 1 l. 1 - I
juuuj or t-uiiveriiiuii iu mmr iiib
left palm with his right fist and ex
claimed, "I'm going to go to Con
gress." He naturally placed special
emphasis on those studies which he
expected to be of assistance to him
in his intended career.
Dr. Beattle concluded his remarks
with a poem which the writer recol
lects to have heard him quote when
he was with us last year, and which
will well bear repettltlon:
The stars shine over the earth.
The stars shine over the sea.
The stars shine up to the mighty
God.
The stars shine down on me.
The stars may shine for a million
years,
For a million years and a day,
But God and I shall live and love
When the stars have passed away!
The Latin and the Algebra and
the other branches of knowledge will
for the most partt be forgotten like
last year's Christmas dinner, but the
character formed In pupils and teach
er during their acquirement will re
main as a priceless lifelong posses
sion. On Friday. Principal Cllne. after
many needless apologies, favored us
with his lecture entitled "The Amer
ican Boy. What la It?" It is im
possible here to give even the sub
stance of this valuable and enjoya
ble address. Suffice it to say that
the interesting subject was thor
oughly discussed. The treatmennt
was masterly, and thoroughly exhib
ited sparkling wit, real two-legged,
red-blooded humanity and genuine
common sense. Two things Prof
Cllne Insist on our remembering,
when dealing with that "peculiar gen
ius" the American Boy: (1) Boys
will be boys! (2) Boys will be men!
On Monday of this week Prof.
Relmund gave great pleasuure by
rendering two well known and Justly
favored songs, "Vendemere Sheam''
and "Absent."
Tuesday, Deputy State Superintend
entt R. I. Elliott was with us and
gave a vigorous and Innsptring ad
dress. Mr. Elliott spoke of the work
of the Junior Normals and of the
Rural School problem. The need
of the Rural School are many and
insistent. Leaders who have these
needs at heart are wanted. One
of these needs Is a provision for ad
equate supervision. The county sup
erintendents at present have too
much territory to cover and too much
office work, with no assistance.
Some teachers have forty and more
scholars and some have five or less.
Some districts have money to throw
at the birds, and others cannot af
ford the bare necessities of efficien
cy in the way of apparatus, etc. Few
rural districts even in the same
neighborhood use the same text
books. Surely the often inexperienc
ed teacher has enough difficulties to
contend with at the best, without be
ing required each year to master
the vagaries of a set of entirely
new - that Is, strange and at the
same time often quite obsolete text
books?
The county Is after all the logical
unit for school purposes; and Its ad
ministration should be a matter for
scientific business management and
not for Individual caprice or the
whims of the blind god of chance.
Why should system and order, which
with their accompanying advantages
are an accomplished fact In the city.

What between the singing In room
G and the lawn mower out in front
of the High School, professor and
students have a hard time to hciir
themselves think In room B during
the last morning period.
In 1 49r the pope divided the un
christian! ced world between Spain
and Portugal. However, Portugal's
share was mostly water. Sounds
like the "reconstruction" of a mini
rn corporation, doesn't It?
8everal frlepds of former years
have restored to us the light of
their countenance this week, among
whom we are especially glad to wel
come Nelson Mitchell, not only for
his intrinsic worth, but because he
belongs to a rare class the male
student class.
