Back to Old Pe ru.

Back, back to old Peru!

Th ere's where I long to be tonig ht; \\1here the moon s hin es on the '" rrn a l, And the stars are al ways bright. Where the trees, each h as a mean i ng. And eac h spot its secret tale ; \<Vhere the assoc iations li nger, Th o the marks of them have hi le d.

-Geo. N. Foster , '06.

Word from Pre:!!ide nt Penney.

The No rm a li te staff h as done us the ho nor to dedi cate it s fi rst number for the ye:u 1909- 10 to o ur or ga niz atio n. Let us st riv e to m erit this h ono r. We h ave r eac h ed a place in o ur growt h where we out nu mbe 1· nearly two to one the s tudents now in attendance at Peru. vVe have more need for the Norma lit e tha"ri the resid e nt s tud e nt s. Consequent ly we s hould s upport it just as l oya ll y. Nca dy a ll of us an: earni ng an inc o me ; the stude nt s at PeJU are at a h ea vy expe n se and many a re wo 1·kin g their way t hroug h sc h oo l, yet tht·ee-fo u1·ths of them wi ll s ub se; ib e for th e Nor malite. Shou ld 'vve n ot do as well ?

We have no close 1· or dea r er fri ends hi ps th an th ose tonned at schoo l ,.yet how few of ns eve r write to th e old fri en ds even the first yea r or so o ut of sc h oo l. Th e Norm-

al i te offers an excell ent oppor tunit y, t hrough the a lumni dep artme nt, for keeping in touch with old fr iends and classmate s. Let us grasp o ur oppo rtunit y by se ndin g in our s ub sc ri ption AT ONCE, a nd an item of in terest every o nce in a w hile.

Yours for the success of the Nor malite and all it re pres ents,

I h ave no t b ee n of th e ra nk of the, in th at I ma rried an d h ave n ot tau ght s in ce . Hence my opin ion as to wh et her the A lu mni as teachers sh ou ld contr i bute a pcrcent ofen rn ings to bui ld, ca n be of li tt le va lu e. However it n majo ri ty decide to bu ild I IYill s ta nd a fa ir share in the s um to he r ai s ed. As I see it now, it would be' a fine thing to do. If the s tudent s put up t hi s ha ll th e state wi ll pr obab ly ado pt it to the exte nt of keeping

it np Other schools have their alumni balls and th ere no why "Old Peru" sh ould not be with one , since they strengthen th e bond of with those who come in to the r anks eAch year and the older es pe c ially tho se who arc priv il eged to atte nd the reunions Formysclfl h ave no t bee n a ble to return s in ce fini!':hing sc hool, though I h :ne h ope of so me tim e the b(·a utiful h ill s.

One bui lding for !':c ho ol a nd one for dormitory was a ll when I kft , hut I've been kept through the pamphlds so that I know it is very much :mprovl.'d during these thirty years.

'Motives" by Bishop McDowell :

''Motiv es of a christian man mus t be clear a nd pure enough to sec.: throug h, large- enough to l ast , and hi gh t'll<Hrgl t to use. Next to the trr•gedy o fruin is the l oss of early motive It takes a tremendou s mo tivc to carry a successful li fe. •·

•· Habit s'' hy Bish op M cDowe ll :

"Are your habit s of prayer· so good that you would r eco mm end th eir uni vc.: r sa l a dopti o n? If your h ab it s of are not good enough to be adopted univers ally, are they g oo d enough for yn u? If your habit s are not g ood enough to export, are they good enough to keep?

Habits are the defining qualitie s of life ."

"What you are speaks so lo ud that I cannot hear what y ou say."- Emerso n.

Th ere a re over 200 important dialects, between sixty and 100 races and nine clos e ly defined reli gious castes.

Here are a few extracts taken from the talk given by Mr. Kuenning, October 24, hi s subject being, of a Christian, as a Teacher, with .a View Toward Moral Improvement": "Influence is an ir,herent power which _ we all possess. There are none so lo w or so mean that they do not possess this inn a te power of influ encing some one by ac tion, word, or deed There are none so good or morally perfect that they are not su scep tible to this power. With a view towaril moral improvement the most potent factors are a strong Christia& character and a strong p er l!lonality . We, as teachers, do not re a lize th e dignity and responsibility of o ur pro fe ss io n. In our daily li fe we must forget many of the so-called pleasures. be-

cause we are l ooked up to as models ."

Our Y. W. ho ur October 29, furnished a trea t to the girls in the form of an in teres ting a nd in s tructive talk on "A Useful Woman" by Miss Stouer. She emphasized the fac t th at we need m oral, intellec tual and physic al development, but espec ia ll y physi ca l in o ur work as teac hers The ideas of every g irl who beard the talk were broadened a nd a better knowledge of the well-ba la n\·ed woman was gained.

At a busin es s mee ting o! the Associ a ti on girls, the membership fee of fifty cents w as decided upon, with the understanding that an a diti onal fee should be added later for the purpose of supporting a l oca·l secretary, if we can secure one . A l oca l sec ret a ry would in s ure the power of our work and strengthen our efficiency , to a great extent.

The Sunday meeting October 24 , was co nduct ed by Miss Gertrude Ely , who se subject was "M is s ions ." Her talk led us to believe that every girl is a mis sio nary,

and th at her life is of as much imp or tance as th e life of a fo reign missionary, b ecause of the influen ce she exerts in daily contact with ot her lives. Miss Be ss ie Gaskill gave hrr rep o rt "The Ente;t a inm e nt a nd Pleasures of the Cas cade Trip," which made e very g irl w ish she h ad been able to sha re the ple as ure and profit that the delega tes did. Mis s Belv a Nick el pre s ented the matter of sys tematic giving, by whi ch the gi rl s pledge week ly any amount from two cents upw a rd, for the ma intenance of the Casc ade fund Over fify-four doll a rs was pledged.

A sple ndid meeting was C·mducted Sunday. October 21, with Fr a nce s Will a rd Blake as leader Her subject was "The Habit of Happiness ." She said th at it wa s o ur duty to God a nd our fell o wmen to be h ap p y. a nd th at if we do not have thi s ha bit of happiness, we can cu l tivate it by a firm re solve th at we wi ll. Ma ny contributions on the subject were offere d, and we pass them a long th at yo u may have the op portunity of enjoying them as we did

"If you' re fr etted a nd cross And quite at a loss ' To really kn ow wh at is worth wh ile; Find s omebo dy who Is worse off than you And see if yo u can 't make him smi le."

"The inner side of every clo ud Is b rig ht and shining. I therefo re tu rn my cloud s abo ut 1\.nd " ea r th em inside o ut

To show the lining. "-Ellen Fowler .

"0 wait no more on worry, Compan ion not with care, Eve r the morn in g da wneth And dawneth everywhe re. And when the heart is open To lov liness a nd trut h, From every wind of Hea ven Comes the World's eternal youth

" It is easy enough to be pleasant When li fe fl o ws by like a song, But the man worth while Is the man who wi ll sm ile When eve rything goes dead wrong."

Th e great sav ing vir tu e of the deb ate, as co ndu cte d, say in th e Neb'raska Hi gh Sc h oo l L eag ue, under th e ef-

general management of Prof. Fogg, of the Nebraska univ ers ity , is that the effort is n ot individua l and sporadic, hut con tinu ous nnrl systematizer!.

Proceed i ng n ow from this defe nce to the positive enumeration of ben efits derived from s choo l debate10, the list is by no means inconsiderable. So far as concerns the debater him self, .the work is of inc a lc ulable value. His debate is likely to be his fir st piece of really comprehensive a nd thorough thinking, a nd his first 11tiff exercise in th e noble art of English compositi on. As auch, it can sca rcely fa il to be life lasting in its effects. It constitutes hi s introduction to the first principles of the oid formal logic. Nothing can_ ta ke the place of this . The modern psychology positive on the point that one can not borrow for use in his genera l thinking the abilitv gained from training in parti c ul ar line ;, that facility in geometrical demonstration, for instance, littl e aid in determining the validity of an argument on the protective tariff on the in come tax. From debate, the s tud ent learns the wt-ight of an argument, and the importance of a phrase.

A False Notion

The fal se ide a that a s tudent mu st neve r tell what anot her stud<'nt docs, is not o nly very ha rmful to the incii vidua l student but , in ma ny ca s es, utt e rl y ::: ubver s ive of good discip lin e. It is a rgume nt llSed by the l aw-breaker to prevent bein g fo und out in o ffen ces. It i::: a noto riou s fa ct th at the ordinary co lle ge b oy prides him s elf on n eve r tellin g on an othe r stude nt . Many a co 11 t·gc boy goes to the "d ogs " beca use he ha s never been found out in so me of hi s ea rly o f· fe nces and admoni s hed before th e h abit of doing wrong bad fixed itself upon hi m. Co llege faculties seem to foster the n otio n th at college students must never tell on anot her student, and we ha ve known college " men " themselves to suffe r for offences th at they did not commit, but would not tell who did. Even goo d s tudents try to justify themsel ves wh en they know that a wrong ha s b ee n co mmitted by saying they w ill not t el l on a class ma te. Bad students know th at th ey can co unt upon the cowardice of good s tudents to protect them in wrongd o in g, a nd yet how wrong s tudents ar e, who know of serious vi o lation s of sc ho ol rules an d yet co nce al the crime Often the little ch ild at sc hool b as no p rot ec t or ot her th an the teacher and th e teacher sh ou ld know w hat ha ppens.

The owenr can h av e sa me by calling at thi s office and p ayi ng for t hi s ti se me nt.

You may think that l, Norma l bdl. am mere ly a JlO s se,;s iun of this s cho ol, wit h no duty h ut to govern your rlaily wo rk, a nd give warning of the time to r etire-, but I ass ure yo u th at I h<t ve not remained in my p ln ce of eminence since the year 1866, without ktt·ping on the nlert regarding thing s being done bel ow me. I nm one of the oldest parts of the school, an d with my u ndimm ed mem o ry I think I have th e very cl earest r ecord of h appen·ings h ere.

Listen to my sto ry1 h ave b een to ld that I had a or here. It was a fat metal be ll , belongin g to the old Methodist Semin a ry, wh ich stoo d on th e oppos it e side of th e quadrang le from the bui l ding in w hi ch I now stan d, where Mt. Ve rn on Hall now is. But owi ng it s vanity, fo r there were not m any hells in Nebrask a th en, and p ossibly to the rigo rous winter of 1865, it s uffered a fracture and wa s Jle rmancntly disabled. Th en the Norm al girls, with th e same sort of energy wh ich wins Kearney-Peru debates today, plann ed a chicken pie suppe r. They saw th at it was a dv ertised broad!'y a nd the farmers for miles around at,tended. The result wa s t hat I was brought to Per u, assi_gned my place, -and I am justly proud that I h ave n eve r f ai led in any duties imposed upon me.

For years there after, one of my duties was to summon the stud ent s to rise for their daily work, but now this is rendered unnecessary by th e modern a nd more specific direccions of Prof. Gregg's daily program an d faithfu l alarm cl ocks. In th ose ,;imple old d ays I also them to retire at nine-t hir ty and in th e strenuous li fe ofth ese later days, when my warning goes

It reta ined th at na mc and even today, afte r pa ssing thru ma lly, vtctss ithe bui l::ling th at s tands on the site, bears th at na me .

The main bui l ding_ was not so large th en. Then gene ral activit i es were carried on in what is now the north par t. Chaptl was he ld in ou r P hil o hall, at that time one of th e l argest rooms in the bui l ding, and the fir st kindergarten cl ass assembled in the type writing r oom in the basement .

GREETINGS.

To the Friend s of the Pe ru State Normal Greeting

We extend gretings to the founders of th e sch oo l, wh o by their wisdom and foresight understood that provisions for ed ucati on in a s tate are of no Jes s imp o rt an ce than the estab li s hment of the state it self Al mo st before the la st sound of battl e that closed the Civil War bad ceased reverberating among the Southern hills, before Nebr-aska was fairly la unched as a s tate, these found ers began the ir work l oo l<ing toward th e establi s hment of a normal schoo l.

We ex tend greet in gs to the underpaid, overworked meu and women who ha ve labored pa tient ly and pers istently th at the sc hool might meet the respon s ib ili tie s thrust upon it ; to the hundreds of a lumni who ha ve shown their l oyalt y and devotion when e ver opportun ity presented itself, both by word a nd deed ; to the th ousands who for briefer periods ha ve come in contact with its influence a nd ha ve gone

The scho ol h as re ac hed a hi gher pl ane of influence than ever hefore. The l ast few yea rs ha ve bl!en in many r espec ts the best years in the hi story of Peru.

C.] . Sk inn er a nd J oseph Goldstein. The team was coached, a nd accompa ni ed on the trip by Professor Gregg.

Warre nsb erg affirmed and Peru denied the question ·•that American cities shou ld be granted absol ute municipa l home rule." Th eJ·udges were Attorney Edwin Fa ll oon, of Falls City, Professor Hopkins, Kam; St. Uni., Mahattan, and City Attorney John T. Barding, of Ka ns as Citv Mo., and w hil e th ey rend e red a sp lit decision, Warrensbe ra · · o rece1vmg the c ove ted extra vote, yet a ll ag r eed th at th e debate was a dose one. The Peru team is be li eved to have bee n more fu lly mformed on all sides of the que;tio n, whi le the Warr ensh urg team was more finished in the ir

de liv e ry, a finish , by the way, which did not extcn rl over to the rebuttals.

The Pcru>i ans a re enthusinstic over the h osp i table treatment they r eceived at t he ha nd s of the Missouri sc h oo l, a nd report the Warrensberg normal to be great in its mat eria l a nd professio nal equipment and in its student body. In numbers of students and facu lt y t he two sc hool s are pract ica ll y equa l. The library th ere is of course quite infer ior to Peru's, but the bu il d in gs are l arger, more in number, a nd on the better kept, whi le the equi pment is al so somewhat better. The campus is a beaut iful one, a nd what it l acks in the nat ur al setting f oun d at Peru, it · mak es ap in la rge measure by the care,and taste with which it is l oo ked after.

Before the tim e for the drill to begin, the campus was crowded with o ld as well as young . The band furnished music for th e entertainment of the waiting crowd a nd was quite a feature of the evening The May -pole carried ribbons which were in Everett colors, and the Queen's th r one was also d ecora ted in black and gold. At a given sign al the band struck up a march and the girls who were to take part in the drill marched fr om the tw o doore of the chapel in single file , m"eeting at the foot of the steps. First ca me the Queen clo sely followed by two little flo we r girls and the twelve maidens.

Those ta king pa rt were as foUows : Que en, Stanfield Jones; flower girls Luverne and Eunice Cra btree; maidens, Esther Reese, Lilli an Volke, Eugene More, Bessie Burke, Elizgbeth Henderson , Margaret O'Mara, Dora bee Jones, Rachel Wittwer, Do ra Kaffenberger, Pauline Ad e n, Maude Mill er, Myrtle Easley.

As I see it, there are two dis tinct advan tages. First . it will gi \' e the bashfu l boy and g irl o ut door worl' t ogethe r. J t is sni ci b_y thost.' who h a\'(• t ake n the co ur:;(• in o th er !'c h oo l::: , that the longer you take it the lo nger you want to. Thu s the boys and girls w ould get plenty of frl's h a ir

S<·co nd, it prepares the student so he can conduct cla:; Sl'S of his own . A pers on h:tving h ad the experit·nce in th is s choo l would know how to conduc l such a cl as s. He wou ld loose the ba s hfulness that he once ha d, and be ab le to make a speech befor e <t tl audience of one.

There ore a few min or ad,·antages a few of which are:

1. There wou ld be no more "cu ttin g" of pedagogy

2. So me peop le w ou ld lea rn that "two is a co mpany and thre e is a cr o wd ."

All ca n see the wo rk could be gi,·en in th e s umm er time. Th e course shou ld co nsist of Ia bora tory work for t \VO hours a day, at lea st six days 01it of the week . No boy sho ul d be a dmi tted to the class unl ess he ca n furni sh a girl, or at least gi ve hi s wo'rd of honor th at he w ill get one wilh out delay. Th e wo rk be so an ·anged that th e home work wou ld require o nl y about ont hour per night; eac h coup le working together.

Eac h one of us sho ul d fi:·cl th at he is a partne r in thi s hu ge bu s ine ss ca ll ed o ur gove rnm en t. cnc h a sove reign in th e kin gdom w ith as mu ch p owe r in the aH'a irs of state as any oth er man. L et us rise to the a ppr ec ia tion of th e fact th at th e state is o ur s a nd se rve it acco rd in gl y.

Po li ti cs m eans the nlation vf th e il tdiv idual to th e co mmunit y and of the communit y to the in div idu a l. Po liti ca l duty is the dut y whi ch e ac h one of us owes to a ll of us and w hi ch a ll of us owes to eac h 'O ne of us. Roosevelt says , "Thi s is not :a nd n cve t· sha ll be a gove mm ent of th e 'pluto cr acy ; it is not and never sha ll be a govc nlllJe nt by a mob .' ' The:: gove rnm e nt is hy th e individu al a nd it s s ucc ess or failu re dep e nd s up on the individu a l.

Consid er in g th e re ,.. ponsib iliti es of the 'priv a te citizen in hi s rela tion to the state, -o ne of the fir st duti es is to see that he hones tly ass ume s hi s part in financin g the e nte rp ri se. Th e pa y in g of ta xe s sho uld not be .)ik e unto th e p ulling of eye teet h but

be co n ,.. id ered a duty and ev_en as priYile ge espec ia ll y when we kn ow th at, in the maj ori ty of the more is expended for the be ne fits of th e tax pa yer. I fi rml y beli eve that one of th( w ea k est pa r t!' of o ur gover nment is the pre sent sys tem of taxation. Not that th e sys tem is at fault but b ecause tax payer h as beco me so hi g hl y d e- sens iti zed in the matt er of hon es t va lu at ions that he w ill often list a $7 5.00 diamo nrl ring at $25 00 or o mit it ent irely. In ot her words :be w1ll stea l fmm the com monw t>a lth when he wo uld n ot think of mi s appropriating t1 cent of hi s nei g hb or 's m oney. There is a cle rk in the C oo k County (Chicago) offices who ma ke s it hi s spec ial duty to cut clippin gs from th e dail y papers which cont a tn accou nt s of va l uable j ewels wore by society women who h abit ua lly forget their exis tence when the assess or comes. Think of i t!

I have a v ery viv irl r ec ollection of my first experien ce as a tax payer. l w as n ew ly married, rather un so phis tic ate d, a nd li::;ted my hou se ho ld go ods at the price w hi ch i had pa id for them a few w ee ks previou sly. I also entered my w ife's engageme nt ring a nd a Swis s wa tc h which she had a nd which h ad b ee n out of commi!'s ion for year s.

NO. JO

my xes and proceeded to ex pht in that nobo dy list ed his goods at their tru E va lu e a nd that many pe o ple omittctl entirely suc h item s as cut a nd sterling s ilv er. Thi s is , h owev l·r, a vafid grou nd for objecting to the p ay ment of taxes in the li g ht of certain e xtravrlgant, eyen abs urd, exp e nditures. Is it any wonder th at the people of Neb r aska hesitate when it comes to shou ld c,·in g their sha re of a fi\·e million do ll ar dr ydock built in Mas sa chu se tt s five mil es inla nd to fulfill the pledges of an a ll p owe rful se nat or.

I co nsider it a di sg race to me as ur e et congres.:; man by the size 0f th e appro printion which he secu res for hi s di s trict. We in Peru could he ar the howl which when the people of Linc o ln di sco vt·red that their repre s en tative had returned w ith only, $100,000 in hi s pocket when they bad been led to expect a ha lf million. 1 tbin_k it .is a mi s fortune th at the good o ld system of wo rkin g o ut th e pCJll t ax 9n the rapidiy becoming we now pay our money int o .a fund with little or no intere st as .to I?tthod of it s expenditure. which th e citizen owes th e is:to make himself familiar with a ll ; and, politic al que s tions , that he may vote int elligently and be a re al facto,in the state. In Germany, f or ex a mple , high er a uthority says to eac h man; "Fit your s elf, first of a ll to become a good citizen. B eco me pro ficient in s ome vocation that you may be ab le to ass ume your s hare of th e nations Prepare to further the governments welfare a nd, if necessary , to fi g ht her ba ttles ." But here in America, w here eac h man is his own sov ereign , we shirk o ur n:spon s ibiliti es a nd turn the affairs of state over to men w ho , only too often play the game of politics as a p rofe ssi on.

It is my opinion that thi s process of enli g htement s hould be fos tered in the public schools. Ci vics sho uld mean more than

The solut ion of th e problem is plain ly with the voter. He c.1n vote th e str:ti ght ticl;et, as did hi s fath e r, o1· he can vote for the man who w ill be m os t faithful and efficient as pu b li c se rvan t. I a dmire the man who s aid th at he wa s a R epublican but, tllll ess Teddy s hould run again, he would vote for B 1-y an until the t1·umpet sou nd s bec au se he knew him to be an hon es t man with the ba.ek bone to up for hi s conv iction s.

Anothe r fund a mental principle ot good government is strict obedi ence of all Ia ws. To quote Roo se ve lt again: ''Th<:: !a ws need strengthening in more than one important point; they sho uld be more definite, so that no ho ne st man can break them unwittingly, a nd so that the re al wmng doer can be readily punished. More o ver, there must be the public opinion back of the Ia ws or the Ia ws themsrlves will be of no ava il." And ther e lie s the secret. Ane nli g htened public m f' ans good government, provided that public has the a mbition to in s ist that it s officers do the s qu are thing .
