A NEW SPORT AT CENTRAL NORMAL
Miss Sherwin and Her Hockey Plajers
SPECIAL NOTICE
The readers of "Central Normal
Life" have doubtless heard mo'-e or
less about the "Intelligence .Test"
w.ich is occasionally- taken by experienced teachers who are not high
^chool graduates. In order that the
requirements demanded of the condi-
date for credit may be fully understood by the friei.ds of Central '\'or-
mal the following statement is ma:!e:
Any person at least twenty-twt
years of age who has finished the
tenth grade and who has taught
SUCCESSFULLY for five years or
more may take the test which if
passed -with a grade of 125 or .nore
•ntitles the Sunccessful candidate to
credit for the last two years of n'gh
school *-work, 4
  *     *
'The assumption here made is that
a "superior" person who has done
five years of SUCCESSFUL teaching
has learned as much of value during
the five years of such experience as
he or she would have learned during the last two years >of high scnool
study. The results of this exoeri-
along with- the present tendency ir.
many colleges to use the intelligence
test as a requirement for colleges entrance, A few years will doubtless
be necessary to establish the reliability -of this procedure. It mav
however be safely assumed that no
more serious mistakes will be ;nado
than in the present system of accrediting h.gh school graduat on.

RESERVES VS.
MIDLAND HfUH
In  a  game    in    which    the High
School   ho.,s  demonstrated   the   iru.
football spirit but lacked the necessary  wherewithal  to  score,   the  fast
Normal   Reserve  team   defeated  the
snappy Midland High footballers b.
a score of 19-u.   Though keeping th
play   in   the  High School's   terrUor.
moat    of    the first   quarter, largel..
through the spectacular work of Egbert,  the  Reserves  were  unable    t<
count but just    as    the quarter wa
about   to  end  Egbert   attempted    i
drop kick which  barely  cleared  thi
ground and which was fumbled by £•
Midland  player  and  recovered      b>
Otis, who took the ball to the ten-
yard  line, placing the Reserves    in
position to score, which they did on
the third play of the second quarter
when  Scott  went  through   the   line
for a touchdown.    Cranes missed the
goal.    That was the end of the scoring for the first half though the Reserves worked the ball to the    High
School's   twelve-yard   line   only     to
lose   it on    a   fumble   just   as   the
whistle blew.
At the very beginning of the sec-

Mrs. Peterkin and the little Peter-
kins were all ready for a driva, you
remember, but the horse would not

vse the whip but found it necessary,
o-Solomon-John turned the horses's
head to one side wiiiie his mother
made the application. Still the
horse would lot go. Someone across
the street shouted something about
whips but as the wind was high it
was not clearly understood. "Whips!
the very thii g," they thought, so into the house they went and Mrs.
Peterkin made prune whip and cream
whip and every other kind of whip,
.'he.v fed them to the horse but not
one' step would he take. They re-
.embered that the Lady from
hila'elphia was still in town to it
was proposed that they ask her.
When Elizabtth-Lliza and the little
hoys reached her home they found
her sick in bed but she was willing
to be propped up and with the aid
of her field glasses she could see
the horse and carriage in front of
the Peterkin gate.
"I would suggest," she said, "that
• ou unfasten the tie strap from the
post."
"The very thing," they cried. ' Why
did we not think of that before!'
If you missed the Peterkin Papers,
written bv Lucretia P. Hale, when
you were in the grades, you missed
a rare treat in more ways than one.
Do you know that the grand cousins of Agememnon are attending
Central Normal this fall? Yes,

LEAGUE PARTY
WELL ATTENDED
Those accepting the invitation
issued by the Girl's Social League to
a party on Thursday evening, did
not feel at all like going home w' en
the hour of 8:30 came around, but
because of the fact that school was
in session the day following they
were not permitted to continue longer the good time they were having.
,he Social League is to be congratulated on having that spirit which
crowns their various functions with
success. We hope to enjoy, more of
the gatherings similar to the ore of
Thursday evening.
Wonder what's the matter with
Lindquist. He hasn't been to a show
for nearly a week.    .
Miss Bertha Ronan will give an address tomorrow night before the
Mothers' Club in Shepherd. Her
subject is "The Relation Between the
Home and the School."

Give Account of Trip Abroad
October 21—It took all day Tuesday by train from Cherbourg to Paris. It was a hot dusty ride but a
very pretty and interesting ono
thiough picturesque old Normaudy,
noted for its apples and its cider,
and for its great dairy industries. I'-
think I never saw so many apple?,. .
both on the trees in the numberless,
well-cared-for orchards and in great
heaps on the ground, and at railway stations. Also there were thoa-
-ai.ds of line looking cattle. In spite
of the nearness of this great dairy
section, milk is very scarce in Paris.
At the post office are official postsvj
about the need of conserving milk.
Families iru which there are babios
uncner three, old people above seventy,
and wo.nen with very young babies,
or expectant mothers have the
preferenoe.
October 23—On Wednesday I had
a pleasant talk with Professor Paul
V*an Eyke, brother of Henry Van
_iyke, a h story professor of Princeton University, who is this year director of the American University
Union, a pleasant club room with
magazines and papers from the
states, a number of college periodicals, bulletin boards on which are
notices of events, clubs, and other
matters of interest to American students.
Yesterday I went to the International Student Hostel, which is over
in the student quarter. It was started about two years ago by the American Y. W. C. A. but I think it is to be
taken over soon, by the British Y. W.
C. A. It is doing a wonderfully fine
work in providing a club house and
all sorts of helpful welfare work for
the many very poor but ambitious
students, who flock from all countries,
but especially from- central and eastern Europe. They have a few rooms,
which are always spoken for long in
advance; they have an information
bureau, with all sorts of lists of
rooming places at different prices,
helpful secretaries, a cafeteria where
very reasonable prices for very excellently cooked food prevail, reading rooms, library, garden, etc. It
isn't elaborate or pretentions but it
is doing a splendid work. A very in- '
teres.ting London woman, in charge,
asked me to lunch with her. Tnere
were girls, it seemed, of all nationalities present.
Later I went out with an American artist and actress who is working here, to the factory where the
Gobelin tapestries are made,. a very
marvelous and fascinating- work. Tne '
factory and its work and its secrets
are the property of the government
and not one of these tapestries is ever
sold to private individuals. Of course,
some of the old ones, made long ago,
and owned formerly by nobility and
similar people, have from time to

SITUATION IN RUSSI
A
j:v
MADE CLEAR
In an excellent address characterized by clearness and vividness, Prof.
I. A. Beddow, of the department of
reading and speech, made clear to
.students and faculty in last Friday's assembly the present situation
in Russia., Mr. Beddow read excerpts .
from a number of books on Russia
and pictured graphically the terrible
conditions in that country and the
experiments in government being-
made there. Thayer Walsh sang
several solos, which won him much
applause. Professor Powers called
attention to the cantata to be given
December 2 and to the artists' recital in conjunction with it.
