A GLIMPSE OF CHILDHOOD.

!ff )I. w .

IT stood back from the road- that old weather­beaten ho\lse. I wa only a wee girl when I went there to live with my grandl'ather and grand­

mother, who were almost as weather-beaten a the

house its~. Near by was a great river that went rushing a cl tumbling along over the stones and finally wen never could imagine where. I used to love to sit on the great gray rocks and watch the water or gather the tiny, white shells on the hore.

My grandmother. as I r emember her. was a great

big woman who alWl!,YS wore two. aprons. he had a funny way of watching me as I sat on the porch surrounded by flowers, moss, stones and bugs.

Sometimes she would wring her hands and say, "Only the good Lord· knows what will become of you . Why when I was your age I knew how to sew

and could do 'ritbmetic in my heac.1." "Do you suppose I spent my time with such trash

as you've got there? Do you suppose I had nothing to do but watch the 'w igglers' in the rain-barrel '? Bnt children have changed for .the wor~e since my

day." and she would sigh and walk slowly away. "Let the lass alane. Saric, she' ll turn ont all

right," and the c..lear old cotch grandfather would

press a pcµpermiut into my chubby hand. Some. time he nsecl to take me out in the field with him and I rnn along behi.nd him in tlte fresh turµecl fur­rows and he told me stories of Scotland, of his mother :1.11cl of the bonny blue-bell and heather.

"Din na make your bands and feet do a ll . your work, lassie, make your brain do some," he used to ay in his quaint way. Every evening after his work

,va clone, he used to give me his old corn-cob pipe and his lantern. and send me into the cellar to fill ' his pipe with the tobacco from the little red tin box in the corner. · The tobacco wal:' rich-looking stuff and it used to ·

smell good a:nd one night ·! took a tiny. wee bit on the end of my tongue but it tasted · horrid · and it stung and stung and I never wanted any more· but I was glad granclJ>a liked it. I used to wonder though. if it didn't sting him or if he liked it because it did sti ng so.

Not long afterwards I was takeri sick and had to go home. While I was gone, ihe old grandfather a nd grandmother went away to be gone forever; the little weather-beaten house was torn down, but thai great impatient river sti ll hurries along.

THE OLD MAN OF THE GLEN.

Away up at the head of the valley where the

mighty river of the plains i a tiny ri vulet, Jived an

old man. His little shanty was tucked up under the

edge of the bluff which rose sheer above it two hun­

dred feet. There was but one side of it much ex­

posed and that faced the east, so· the only window,

which consisted of a single pane of glass, glistened

in the morning su 11. making one bright spot in all

that dreary clesolatio 11 .

I had seen enough and so passed out. He followed me as far as th e birch tree ·and putting one hand on

my shoulder, pointed with the other to the green

mounds saying, •·There lie all I loved. the victims

of a pesky rattler. I swore eternal vengance and

will keep ruy oath."

With that he dropped upon his knees and I left

him with his face buried in the fresh gre1,n grass of

the larger mound . C. HOUSEWOltTH.

-THE -NORMAL rPOINTER.

THE PEOPLE OF CHINA.

The predominant quali ty of the Chinaman is his

passion fo r labor. In search of it no country is too

far away for llim . He has g reat powers of endur:

ance. ·a nd his man na! dexteri ty in the minutest kin d

of work is well know n.

Some of his intel!ectual characteri ·tics a re very

high. He has a phenomenal memory. There are

Chinamen who can repeat by heart all the thirteen

classics of Ci1 ina and some of the brightest s tudents

in our coll eges today are Chinamen .

The Chinese ha ve untirin~ patience. unfailiug

good humor and cheerfnln ess nnder every kind of

discomfort and botlily toil. They are greatly lack­

ing in originality . They cannot take the initiati,·c.

They are the slaves of custom and t ratliti on.

The prevailing spiri t of the Chinaman is com­

mercialism. He is a tradesman. He sells everything

he possesses, is shrewd at a. bargain and can und er­

sell his competitors . Ia commercial thrift he i ,·ery much like the J ew.

The price of Chinese labor is very low . A cool ie

can be employed at from six to eight clo11ars a month .

An artisan's wages vary from te n to t-wenty cent a

clay. He works nine hours a clay and r ke and

vegetables a re almost his only diet.

The Chin ese people as a whole <"arc nothing for

politics, yet their faculty 1,f !oral se l_f-govcrnment

and especially of family government , is cle ,·elopcd

in a high degree. It is the central government 1i.t

Pekin which is :1.t faul t and th e numero us conspir­

acies and rebellions which take place in China arc

the results of the oppressions or the ce nt ral go,·crn­

ment, the vice roy. a ud the mandari n;; .

In the late war with Japan the Chin e c pro,·ed to

be poor soldiers, but they were se nt out practically

unarmed . unpaid aud bad ly fed . Under Europeau

leadership the Chinese soldier would be a wholly

different being to cope with. They harn sho wn

themselves to be brave and eflk icnt und er such

leadership. A Chin ese army, well a rnwcl. well paid.

well drilled aud well treated would make a tig hti ug

machin e eq ua l to any.

The Chin ese. with these splend id qnal itie ·. will .

make an immense power for good or evil in the .

hands of skill tu I leaders. They must have leaders.

They are helpless without the!ll. They _are tract-~!e,

peaceful and easily managed , e~sily ~on -rt. ~o~·~up­tion .

ronlu our advertlaera.

Whose Pointer are you reading? If you think it is yours, but find a blue pencil mark through this paragraph-see the business manager. If you wish to receive a kindly welcome ti:om him we would suggest that you take seventy-five cents with you. Nothing el~e will do. ------

The·Censor has been furnished a.n article for this nnmber which will well repay careful reading. We would like to add that t~e principles advocated there may be practiced to advantage in other places tha.n the library. The business management of the Pointer would be delighted to have them applied to unpaid subscriptions.

------Since our lll,st issue we have _lost from the platform

the kindly face of Miss Whitman, and have wel­comed to it a stranger, who is not long tu be a stranger to us. Mr Shannon comes from the Chi­cago university. which has furnished us with other members of our faculty, a.nd we hope he will find us ready •od 1,n~ous to make him feel at home.

The fourth number of our lecture course is no·w a.

thing of the past. We have still two numbers to

look forward to, and we may well congr, tulate our­selves that they are of such unquestioned excellence. Leland Powers ls a stranger to us, but our commit­tee has been trying to get him ever since we have had a committee. Kennan is no s tranger. and many

of us will enjoy him for the third time.

The a thletic enthusiasm of the school is being well kept up by the basket ball people. The game is

~eservedly popular anti benefits more students than football ·does, because more take part in it . The oratorical interests. begun some time _ago by the pre­liminary <lebates nnd continued in the ora torical

contest , •a re growinit strong-er as ti me passes, and the state contest, the debates, and the declamatory contest a.re all receiving attention . Let the good

work go on.

Before this number of the Pointer is before its readers one of our regnlar annual milestones will have been passed. The oratorical contest will have been held and the orator, who will represent us in the state con test. selected. We feel assured that whoever is chosen, we will send away a. contestant

who will be in no way inferior to to our representa­tives of past years. And we have ma.ny reasons for thinking that the prospP.cts for a. Stevens Point vic­

tory were never brig liter . We look forward to an­other ovation for a winner of the state and inter-state contests.

The Nautilus, which has existed up to this t ime as a promise of something to come, is beginning to take a more tangible form. The managers a.re out

getting subscribers. The literary editor is getting statistics and has visions of things to be. The comic editor has many jokes simmering in her subcon­

scious field . The artis ts have begun to look forsug gestions. and are making martyrs of the poor vic­

tims they get to pose for them. If the koda.k fiend appears, look out for him. He is getting material for the Nautilus. If you see a group of students

sauntering toward the photographer's.know that they a.re going to have their pictures taken for the Nau­tilus. If you wish to do your she.re toward ma.king

our first aunnal the success it deserves, .send your name to the business manager of the Nautilus.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Troubled Junior.-! agree with you that it is a

hard case to treat. When a student deliberately at­

tempts to wake away with 1fart of the Junior prea<l.

the matter desel'Ve!l careful consideration. Now. if

the offender were a Freshman, the proper thing

would be to haze him, but being a grave and digui­

fied Senior, we can only suggest that you keep youl'

spreads under lock and key. The Seniul'S are some­

times rash and indiscreet, and the fact is deplorable.

but there seems to be no remedy .

Arena Glrls.-Yes, it would be perfectly proper

for you to speak to the Glee ingers :ibout it. If

you leave the Music Room in ordel' on Friday night

and they disarrange it when they meet on Satul'day,

the blame should rest on them. not on you.

Bashful Bobby.-Part your hair in the middle an<l

Jet it grow long enough to touch youl' eyebrows.

Beards are entirely out of fashion for youths anrl

should not be cultivated.

Chairman of Group One, History of Ed. - ft

should not be necessary for you to spend more than

two or three nights during the week studying with

the young ladies of your group. No one ··tudy ·hould

demand more of your time than that.

lnqulrln~ lke.- (a ) It is bad form to use _the ex­

pressions " flunk·• and "goose-e~gs. ''.

theory that "the end justifies the meirns•· one which

we should be urged or at least advi ·eel to follow?

From pernsing the pages of the last i sue of .the Pointer this ,q)pear to be the ca,i.e, though the edi­

tor say;; "probably none of us enjoy seeing a long

li st of names under ·Overdue Books."•· Later on,

how,~,·,•r. so meone writes. "The studonts should be qnito willing to keep a book from the library now

and then till it i ovel'due when such necrligence re­sults in so 1mwh prolit tothcschooJ.·•

Would it be prulit to the school if on each piece

of s tntual'y and evel'y pie t11l'e hought by these •·will­

iug peo ple" there should be appended, in wqrds not

to be erased, '·This bust of Longfellow stands here

Edward Gilbert was absent from school a week during the latter part of J anuary . He went to Weyan wega. to till a vacancy there which was caused by the sickness of Edgar Munnell, a former graduate of this school.

Prof. Livingston's place at the Normal is now

meant. a he is a way fuitilling his duties as insti­tute cond uctor . He is making a tour of Wood,

Marathon. Waupaca a nd Vernon counties. speaking on ed ucational matters in the district schools.

The " Pedagogical" rheto rical exercises, held on Friday, ,fan. 17, were very interesting. From the exercises we got an idea as to what school-teachfog

THE NORMAL POINTER. 165

was in the old days, and from this learned to appre­

ciate the educational advantages of the present.

Mr. Edward Brigham, who gave a musical recital in the Normal Assembly room on last Thursday evening. called at the orrual the following Wed­nesday afternoon. The three o'clock series of reci­tations were cut short at 8:80 so that everyone might have an opportunity to hear Mr. Brigham sing. He sang several songs and was encored again and again .

"Freshmen" rhetoricals on Friday, Feb. 1 were very interesting and also very fuuny, which trait!! are also characteristic of the first year people them­selves. Every number on the program was spicy and the interest of those entertained never Jagged. Altogether the program was one that any class might well be proud of.

The Forum has elected the following officers for this qua1·ter: President-Ed. M. Gilbert; vice-presi ­dent-Albert Shimek; secretary-:--Charles Meade; treasurer-Conrad Oleson. The first steps have been taken by the Forum toward . choosing a debating

team to pit .against the Athenaeumites in the an­nual debate between the two societies.

The state board of examiners was at the Normal on Tuesday. Ja.n. 15, for the purpose of examining t.be January graduating classes . Ex-State Supt. Emery. Mr. Rockwood, Mr. Jenkins and Mr. McDill composed the board. Sec. Rockwood addressed the school at morning exercises while the board was here. His remarks were earnest and forceful and

we appreciated them.

Chips from the rhetorical class: Mr. H-ous- • -rth (criticising an exposition): "It is shallow, but a trifle

muddy." From an exposition on "Honesty":- "Honesty is

that quality possessed by persons when hone!lt." From another on "Style:"- -"Style is a variable

which is · constantly approaching a limit which . it

never reaches!'·

Mr&. Clement gave the school a very interesting talk on the numbers of the program t.o be given at the musical recital by Mr. Edward Brigham on the night of Feb. 8. Mr. Brigham's recital fully justified Mrs. Clement's praise of hi s monderful power!! as a

singer. and those who were present felt that they had been fortunate in having the opportunity to hear

such a voice :i.s Mr. Brigham's.

An epidemic of grip struck the school aqout the

the middle of January ancl inany seats in 1ill'erent parts of th'e Assembly room were vacant at different times during the next two weeks. Amo'ng the grip victims were: Gordon Killinger, Howard Brasure, uny Hamilton, Mary Edwards.Alfred Herrick, John Grimm, Emma. Skatvold. Esthe} Hetzel, Bessie Mc­

. Donald a~d Laur~ Henderson .

A troup1z con isting of the male quartette- Mossrs. Polley. Karnopp, Henke and Wood- and Robert Mulvihill and Henry Rnx made an excursion out into the Almond region a short time ago. It is re­ported that the melodies of the quartctte. the fiery eloquence of the :•Irish orator," and the dramatic work of our club swinger took the country by storm

and that the hearts of the rustics as well as the gates of their cities were thrown open to them at their approach. They are getting ready for another ex­pedition into the same region.

On Friday evening, Feb. 8, was held the sixth an­nual oratorical contest. A fair-sized audience was on band to encourage the three contestants for hon­

.ors. J nlius Carlson, Robert Mulvihill and Kenneth • Pray. The evening's program was as follows:

Piano Solo...... . ................ Florence Houle •·Saxon vs. Slav" .. ........... . ... . .. Julius Carlson "Dutch Spirit in History·• . .......... . Kenneth Pray

"Courage of Conviction" ...... .... Robert Mulvihill Music . ..... ... .......... . . . . . .. .. .. Male Quartette

After a short pause the decision of the judges wa~ brought in . They had awarded_ first place to Ken­neth Pray and second place to Julius Carlson.

Prof. Sanford gave the school a very interesting talk at morning exercises not long ago . He spoke .. of the great advancement that has been made a.long many lines by the world during the last ccn.tury . He pointed out how great a change invention had brought about in methods of industry and t1·avel. He showed how increased facilities for knowing what is going on in all the world have broadened the sympathies of men and made them more catho­lic in their views. He po10ted out how great pro­gress there has hecn in the science of medicine and in the attention paid to sanitary conditions . And last, he compared the humanitarian spirit of one

to Wausay to try conclusions with the home team. For the Normals, Halverson did the best work, ruak· ing ten field throws. The home team played good ball but the pace seL for them by the visitor was too

fast. Our boys won by a core of 41 to 16. The retur~ game with Wausau wa played here

Jan. 18. It was not entirely a repition of the first game. The visitors showed a decided improvem!lnt since the first game.

Feb. ll. The game was the fastest and best seen here this year. Our boys showed a great improvement over their playing at Oshkosh.

THE ·NORMAL POINTER.

It is natural for human beings fo gather intoclnns

and groups. Sects aud factions form nu<l affiliate

because,ot commou beliefs or kiuclred cause of action.

This is especially true of those who attend educa­

tional institutions. There is something in the na­

ture of school life,,and in the fact that all who attend

the same school are act,natecl by the same aspira­

tions, that gives rise to the examples of loyalty, so

common and yet so enduring. '!'.he mention of his

school or college thrills the graduate with pride and

brings to his mind the happy clays of old when ,·ic­

tories were won and defeats borne. It is this uncly­

i ng loyalty; that binds the student to the school. not

only duriug attendance, but in thr after-school of

life, that is noticeable. Altho it i: not the motive of

a school to create these ties, yet it is the inevitable

during school are of practical value, and th e power

acquired is essential. Th.ere is a third facto r, the

school associations and traditions. It is thi · µar t

of school life that is liable to be negleeted. School

tradition, with its wealth of associ:i.tions. acts as a

spur to greater effort, bnt the chief valne of this

traditional element lies in tbe fact that i1; brings out

the best in human character. It arouses the dor­

mant nature and en kindles a patriotism ancl a feel­

168 THE NORMAL PO.INTER.

Among our western exchange!! is "The Owl" from

Fresno, Cal. This is a well written and interesting

paper and is a credit to the editing staff.

,Thti January number of the Kodak from Eau

Claire is a special issue dedicated to the Christmas

graduating class.

One exchange editor voices a good opinion when

he says . "Why in the name of all the muses at once, will people write jingles without rhythm, rhyme or

reason? There is nothing more . beautiful than real

poetry and there is nothing more agonizing than

that which is meant for poetry but falls far below

the standard. '•

In the J . H. S. Echo is an interesting story told in

verse. It is a production of some merit, but we question the advisability of publishing such long

poems in a school paper.

Some were born for great things.

Some were born for small ;

But it is not recorded Why some were born a t all.-Ex.

From Helena, Montana, comes "The Nugget." It a good little paper. The portrayal of n football

game is amusing.

"The High School Bell" is a large. well written

pa.per. There seems to be some slight confusion of

departments.

The Tocsin is evidently recetvmg the support

which it deserves as the Christmas uumher is an

elaborate paper and must have entailed consi<lerab! P.

expense.

"Evolution," quoth the monkey, "Maketh all mankind our kin ,

There's no chance at all about it. Tails we lose and heads they win . "-Ex.

The Pythan is addicted to the long story habit.

One of our latest and most attractive exchanges is

··The Crimson" from Louisville, Ky. The co.ver de­

sign is particularly artistic.

Another exchange that we have recei'"ed with the

new year is The Climax from Beloit College. We

know of Beloit thru her football renown and we now

embrace the opportunity of becoming acquah,ted

with another side of her life.

Ripon College is rejoicing in her new science hall,

"Ingram Hall." The erection of this building in­

crease:i the efficiency of the science departments of

the instituLion .

According to the principle la.id down hy the ex­

change editor of the Normal Red Letter he had bet­ter omit his column .

Th'e Lawrentian from Lawrence University is an interesting paper.

lications of our larger institutions uch a!i coll eges

and normal schoo},. This is due, doubtless, to the

fact that the high school is more closely connected

with the town in which it is situated than are these

other institutions and therefore its pa.per receives a more hearty support from the townspeople.

A story, "The Sacritice of Ha.stings," in the Ryan

Clarion is good. It is seldom that we tind stories of such merit in exchanges.

THE -NORMAL POINTER.

~Mod@I The optional work in the Intermediate depart­

ment bas so far been ,·cry successful. but in order

to improve it in beginning th e new work, a written

plan has been req 11ired from each pupil before he be­

gins his work. For three days the time in optional

work was taken up i11 reading and <liscussing the

different plans . The children at lirsL told only what

they were going to do and how long it would take

to do it. so a second µI an was required. which should

contain a diagram or the parts or the object and a

full and definite description. The boys in this w:iy

found out that a sled which they thought would

take them eight weeks, woultl take them only about

two weeks . Two bob-sleds have already been com­

pleted, and the boys are at work on more : al o cros -

bows and fills, so they can ··harness uµ their dogs."

Their work has been hindered, because they had to

furnish all their material, some of which has been

hard to get. Now it has been whispered that Pres.

Pray is going to buy tools and materials. which will

grP-atly aid tbem in their work.

The groups for the most part have been constant,ly

changing. but one group of girls which ha given

two entertainments, has remained the same. Now

some are busy making the game of lotto, and others

are at work on books and pictures. The books they

i;nake themselves out of plain paper, and in these

place pictures that they cut out of magazines. books,

$chool~ cook. They ha Ye the u e of the kitchen for their

work, and in their school-room have a cupboard

containing their dishes and stock of groceries. The

"Bi rds·· furnish all the material for their lunches,

·er.e it. wash dishe . and "clean up" afterwards.

All of the children. boys and ~iris. lrn.vc aprons. the

Second and Third grades are making towels and

holder · for .t,hcm , and one littl e boy has made three

holders. which ho made them. partly by hand and

partly machine. Their fir t lunch co11°sisted of

potatoes bought by one of the pupil . and salt. The

c:hildrcn enjoyed this a. much at if it we!"e candy or

i1:e cre:im , and one little boy said, '•they were just

a · good as his rnamma made." which of cour ·e was

quite a compliment .

Some of their other lunches have been: cranberry

jelly. <"rackors and rice : custard; walnut brittle, and

~hrat•>ga chips. Besides learning to set the table,

·ook. serve and wash dishes. they men ·ure every­

t hing. take the tempel'ature of water , and this heips

book. which they themselves made, in which they

keep recipC's and accounts or the different lunches.

Some bring cook-books to sc hool and road the dif­

ferent recipes that they would like to try. and others

take the recipes that have been tried at school home.

a "Mother Goose" book, and contains much original

work of the girls.

The "Candy Group" has disappeared. and those

who are not making books arc knitting slippers,
