THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1925 NORMAL SCHOOL A REAL HELP TO THIS COMMUNITY (Continued from page one) Shippens- Shippensburg burg type of teacher that the Normal schools, subsidized by the State, ploy. It is recognized in educational circles that the teaching corps of the Normal Schools has a higher rating than those of most colleges, hence higher per capita costs. know you will be interested in learning what it will cost a local boy or girl to attend Normal. A day stu.

dent should be able to attend a full year, 36 weeks, at a cost not to exceed $75.00. This will allow $20.00 for semester fees, $5.00 for laboratory fees, $35.00 for textbooks, and instructional supplies, of incidental expense, such as class, society, and other organization fees. means that any boy or girl in our community who is a graduate of a first-class High School or has 15 credits toward college entrance, can carry 3 years of college work at a maximum cost of $75.00 per year. Is such an oppor tunity a community asset? As matter of satisfaction to ourselves and for your information, we have checked over the business for the past year to ascertain just how much money the Normal School, as an institution, distributed in Shippensburg. The amounts given, of course, include salaries and wages in all cases, and, on the housing side, excludes "transfers of funds," which items are included on the instructional side.

Expended PerCentage Total in Expended in Expenditures Instructional side: $299,917.99. Dining hall and 54,617.14 Dormitories and 26,980.59 Supply room: 16,084.16 $154,372.19 kitchen: 35,628.84 laundry: 17,833.11 1,549.67 Totals: $327,599.88 $209,383.81 Are there any other local business institutions that can show a better record for "keeping it at During the past 10 years 181 boys and girls from the town of Shippensburg have been graduated from the Normal School. Had not the Normal School been located in their home town, of them in all probability would have discontinued their school work after being graduated from High School. In view of this, is their any other agency, institution, or organization in the town, that can serve community to such an extent as the Normal School? In addition to this educational service, the Normal School, during the past year, as previously stated, distributed in our town and community nearly $210,000.00 and the students, at a conservative estimate, spent another $100,000.00. All these things must mean something to the religious, social, and business life of the town and community.

what has Shippensburg and you, as representative citizens, done for your Normal School? When a man or woman announce their candidacy for the State Legislature, do you ever inquire in regard to their knowledge of the work the Normal Schools are doing and whether or not they favorable to such work? Last winter, we Normal School people found that the great majority of the members of the Legislature knew absolutely nothing about the Normal Schools. Last week, when the Governor came up to inspect your school, there were not many of our representative citizens hand to him and to hear his address in greet the school chapel. If your Governor and representatives to the State Leg- islature see that our local people are not interested in the welfare of their own Normal School, what chance does the school have of ever getting adequate appropriations? At a meeting of the State Council of Education last week, permission was granted to the State Schools to institute 4-year courses with degree granting privileges. This means that in the near future, our local boys and girls will be able to get four years college work at a cost of $75.00 per year or $500.00 for four years. Again, is the Normal School: a community asset? We have a building program covering the next 10 years, which has been approved by the Board of Trustees and the State Department of Public Instruction.

This program includes repairs and alterations to existing buildings and new buildings to the amount of $1,000,000.00. The school is to provide half of this amount and the State the other half. In order to get this program thru, we must have the support of every man and woman in our community. Will Shippensburg accept this Job? Remember, the Normal School is a part of your community. Don't get behind get it with us! CLASS MEETING The Loyalty, Class of the Lutheran Sunday Carrie.
