THE WORK OF THE REGISTRAR.
Marion Holland, Sr. II.
The two main departments of work in the Registrar's office are the registration of the students and the routine connected with the school business.
The bulk of the registration comes during the months just previous to the opening days of school. All stu- dents who are graduates of a Mary- land four year accredited high school are accepted for enrollment into the Normal School, All who are not in this group, i. e., have graduated from some out of State school, or who have taught or have had advanced training, and wish to blems. enter the Senior Class, are accepted after their credentials have been ap- proved by Miss Bateman, Credential Secretary of the State Department of Education. Preliminary corre- spondence, however, for all prospec- tive students is carried on in the main office.
After enrollment in September, statistics are compiled, showing the number of students in each class and by high schools by coun-
At the end of each term the grades are sent to the of- fice by the instructors, entered upon each student's permanent record card and two reports are made out, one for the student and one for the parent or guardlan. All the fail- ures are checked up with the indi- vidual students and the next term's work is adjusted on the basis of such failures.
The Registrar has charge of the absences and tardinesses. As the absent and tardy slips are sent in by the instructors, they are checked up with the slip sent in by Miss Riley, the nurse. An investigation is made of unexcused absences and tardi- nesses, and the number of each is entered both upon the student's per- manent record card and term report.
Many details enter into the man- agement of the school business con- nected with the Registrar's office. All orders for supplies, with the exception of certain items ordered by Miss Sperry, are sent out from this office. Like all Maryland State in- stitutions, most of the supplies are bought through the Central Purchas- ing Bureau, which has been estab- lished during Governor Ritchie's term of office as a part of his reor- ganization plan.
Many conferences are necessary before an order can be placed. Our coal, for instance, is bought on a yearly contract, and involves the ex- penditure of a large sum of money. A number of conferences with the engineers from the different State institutions were held with a view to making a. wise decision in the awarding of the contract.
All the bills which are paid by the school, go through this office, and a weekly payroll is made up.
Assistance is given from this of- fice in the making of the budget, money for which is appropriated by the State Legislature.
Material is also compiled for the annual re- port.
Besides these two main depart- ments in the work of the Registrar, there are many details of organiza- tion and administration which come up daily.

CO-OPERATION.
The dinner bell had rung at last, When down the aisle of assembly passed
The girl who hears through storm and strife
Her motto with this strange advice, Co-operate.
Her brow was sad. Her eyes be- neath
Showed traces of the deepest grief. But through the assembly hall had run
A whisper, then an audible hum, Co-operate.
Yesterday a visitor entered the door,
This man was almost knocked to the floor,
His balance was kept by using his feet,
Now, in this matter, I repeat, "Co-operate."
Our dinner will, as you have found, Wait until the hill you've walked down.
Now do not repeat this outrage twice, But kindly take this piece of advice, Co-operate.
Then from assembly laughing and gay,
Slowly the students wended their way, And then, as though our peace to mar,
A voice resounded from afar, Co-operate. MARY HILL, Sr. VI.
MANY GIRLS TRY FOR TEAMS AT STATE NORMAL.
(By Polly Carter)
"Lassies at the \ Maryland State Normal School are to be hand picked for the athletic teams this year, ac- cording to Miss Marion Cook, direc- tor of physical education at the in- stitution. With more than 500 girls attending gym classes, and all hop- ing to make the various teams, it stands to reason that there should be some very good material turned out.
Dr. Dorothy S. Burdick, daughter of Dr. William Burdick, director of the Playground Athletic League, has been installed as resident physician and is now hard at work giving each student a thorough physical exami- nation. One of the aims of this survey is deciding just which girls are fit to go out for the more stren- uous games and athletic work. Those who are at present unfit will be given corrective gymnastics until they, too, are able to join the ma -! satisfactory social relations than any jority. agency that the world has hereto-
Dr. Burdick was graduated from fore known.
the Western High School here with honors. She then received her A. B. from Mount Holyoke and, coming back to Baltimore, once more attend- ed the John Hopkins Medical School, receiving her M. D. there in 1921. For the past year she has been an interne at the New York Infirmary for Women and Children.
Dr. Burdick will be assisted by Miss Jennie Riley, graduate trained nurse, who came with her from New York.
Soccer, which proved so popular last year, will be taken up again be- fore the outdoor season closes, and tournaments will be run off in both sports on the athletic field in front of the dormitories."
DR. HENRY M. FITZHUGH SENDS GREETINGS.
To Each Student in the Maryland Normal Schools, greetings from the State Board of Education.
Whatever the motive that may have induced you to become a stu- dent in a Normal School, it is cer-| tain that by the time of your gradu- ation you will have become conscious that the vocation of teaching is a social service of the highest and no- blest type, and not merely a job by means of which you will subsist.
In other words you will come to regard teaching, not as a means to gain a livelihood by incidentally ren- dering service, but as a service, a great and fine, and basic service that incidentally carries with it a living.
When you enter on this service you will be sustained by the State, because the State regards as vital the work that you will do, and your' duty in promoting the greatest good of the greatest number will be to do your full part both as an individual, and as a part of an organization in the training of those who are sub -. jected to your influence to make in- telligent and unselfish use of ma- terial knowledge and to adjust themselves without clashing to the social obligations that our common life imposes.
The ultimate objective of the great international army In whose ranks you will be enlisted is to free the human mind from the bondage of ignorance and prejudice. minds of many the attainment of this objective will be co-eval with the millennium, but certain it is that a school system dominated by high ideals, manned by consecrated and capable teachers, and having · con- tacts with practically the whole of the rising generation, can and will exert influences more favorable to general intellectual freedom and

A THOUGHT FOR ARMISTICE DAY.
PEACE.
Peace! is the cry of the Nation, Peace! as the years roll by
War with its desolation Must cease and forever die.
We are weary of battle's confusion Tired of paying the toll
In the lives of our glorious manhood, In the anguish of body and soul.
How are our mighty fallen The humble and poor as well Are met on a common level,
At the sound of the doleful knell.
So we pray that our glorious ban- ner
According to custom, the winning team enjoyed a good time at the ex- pense of the Navy. Some of the girls showed their enthusiasm and spirit by going with and supporting the team. The questions unan- swered are: Why did our captain kick a goal for the Navy? Why
didn't we take the Navy ball for a trophy ?
Again we add a victory to our record. Catonsville, unable to with- stand our organized attacks, had to go down in defeat to & tune of 2-0. We do, however, congratu- late the Catonsville lads upon their excellent game.
M. S. N. S. has heretofore bowed in defeat to Catonsville, but, "Those days, we hope, are gone forever."
In any game, we can always ex- pect our ends, Houck and Flater, to show clever work. Wright can be expected to give a good exhibi- tion, cleverly supported by Garman and Morris. The full-backs, Hoff- master and Bollinger, perform well. Gunderloy, by use of hands and head, deserves our praise.
Another team's hopes was dashed upon the rocks that make up our team. Although Williamsport played a good gome they were entirely out- classed and outplayed. The team was working at its best Saturday, therefore making it impossible for Williamsport to score. It may be that many of our fair rooters were a little disappointed to see Williams- port so severely drubbed, for this town is well represented in our stu- dent body. M. S. N. S. nevertheless comes first in our choice and root- ing.
C. AUSTIN GARDNER.
HELPFUL HINT.
Baynard Little-Now, what would you do if you were in my shoes, Miss L .? L.L .- I'd point them toward the front door and give them a start.

assigned work. Due to the excellent training. of Coach Callowhill, we can always be sure of making a good showing.
This last fact is amply proved by the fact that we have, so far, been undefeated, although tled twice.
In the game with Sparks, our op- ponents were hopelessly outclassed from · the very start. Our tesm, in the first half, seemed rather ragged, but by tightening up in second half we ran up a tally of 7 goals. The final score was 8-0.
Our next game, with City College, however, wasn't so easy. It did, nevertheless, give the team a chance to show what it could do under ad-
verse conditions. The weather con- ditions were damp and dripping, the field soft and muddy, but by using our Normal fight we defeated City. The final score was 1-0.
The following game with Poly was a nip and tuck affair, neither side able to score. Poly came upon the field with a do or die spirit, and proved to be very aggressive at times, but when necessary, our boys can show any team a few points on aggressiveness. Final score 0 all.
The game with Western Maryland Preps proved an easy nut for us to crack. Our team work was too much for the W. M. Preps, so the best they could do was to play a de- fensive game in order that wouldn't totally swamp them. When we the final whistle blew the score stood 3-0.
Our proud feeling for our team was increased measureably when we met and defeated the strong Navy Plebes. The team traveled to An- napolis, knowing that in order to support our record we would have to play harder than we had ever played this season. The team did its level best with the result of a score of 2-1 in favor of M. S. N. S. The line and back field worked well together, thus giving Navy a difficult task of getting through.

ACTIVITIES OF RURAL SCHOOL MANAGEMENT CLASS.
Mary Potterfield, Sec'y.
The Normal School has expanded since establishing a department of Rural Education. Heretofore Rural Education courses have been devel- oped by part time instruction and outside speakers.
The rural School Course differs from the regular Intermediate, Pri- mary, and grammar, in that it gives methods and management particu- larly adapted to Rural School; that is, there is no difference made in. reading, writing, arithmetic,
and various other subjects, save in point of attack.
The Department of Rural Educa- tion this year directs Student Teach- ing in rural demonstration centers and offers a course in Rural School Management as well as sponsoring a Rural Club.
The activities of the Rural Club so far, have been the entertainment of the Supervisors and Superintend- ents, by a supper and social evening in Stevenson's woods, and the dra- matization of the rural school in the Assembly. Our next activity will be "Home Coming" on November 17th. We are going to entertain the Alum- ni in the Library.
The work of the class itself has been to develop the philosophy of
rural education and to collect practi- cal material for carrying out that philosophy. By reading and discus- sion, two view points on rural edu- cation seem to have been evolved. The first of these was:
Rural Education should be specific and tend to agriculturize, the other was general and disintegrating, that is, the preparation of children for worthy home membership, citizen- ship, health relations, proper use of leisure and the fundamental skills and knowledge.
The first viewpoint was expressed by Miss Schnebly in the following outline:
A-Rural Education should prepare children for satisfying rural life.
1-Too many country youths leave the farm.
2 .- People in general do not real- ize that money will buy food only as long as food is produced, hence the exodus from the country is irra- tional.
3 .- Sharp decrease of Farm Pro- duction fo a term of years would give country life increased signifi- cance in the eyes of the nations.
The second viewpoint was given by Mr. Hammond. He stated that: A-Rural Education should not have for its primary purpose, keep- ing children on the farm.
1 .- Proof-Since effieciency in any work demands interest in, and love for that work, all boys cannot be ef-f ficient farmers.
Many great men, such as states- men and inventors came from the farm, for instance, Edison, Ford, etc. Many boys love banking, engineer- ing better than anything else, farm work is considered drudgery.
The success of one industry should not be sacrificed for another so the Rural School should help a boy in whatever vocation he chooses.
GIRLS' ATHLETICS.
Hurrah! for Hockey, Rah! Rah!
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Rah! Rah!
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Hockey! Hockey! Hockey!
Such is the cry of almost every girl of the M. S. N. S. Although this is our first year of the game, it has already proved a success. Miss Cook and Miss Sammis are now plan ning a tournament in which all sec -. tions, both Junior and Senior, are
are going to participate. There now two teams from each section; each team having a very "snappy" name and captain. The plan for the tournament is: as each team loses, it will be eliminated from the tournament, while the winning team of one section will play the winning team of another section. By the process of elimination, the tourna-
ment will narrow down to two teams. Will not the section of the winning team feel honored!
The names of the various teams and their captains are:
1. Ginger Snaps-Vionna Mitchell.
2. Snappy 17-Hilda Roberts.
3. Yanks-Frances Brown.
4. All Stars-Regina Sheppard.

MY FORD AND I.
Clankety, clank, clank, bang! What is that, you ask of an old timer holding up a porch post? "That?" lie replies, as he shifts his wad of Gravely to the cheek. "Why, that's only a Ford," in a tone half pity, half contempt, not able to conceive of any one unable to recognize a Ford without seeing one.
Do you own a Ford, commonly known as a flivver, Lizzie, roadlouse, etc. ? If you do, you can sympa- thize with me; and if you don't liearken to these words of wisdom from one who knows, and who has been afflicted with one for quite a number of memorable years.
Without a doubt, a flivver is one of the most remarkable pieces of machinery that ever made a man lose his religion, and mine, it seems to me, is a very good representative of a "poor man's car," which ex- plains why I haven't a Packard or an airplane.
The thing seems to have brains, and its thinking and reasoning at times would make Dewey look like a one-armed cow boy at a roping contest. For tell me, if you please, why it will run, and then it won't? When, after you have exhausted your vocabulary to such an extent that you are at the boiling point, and blue in the face; after you have spoken to it such words and phrases (not always grammatically correct)
