DR. BRUBAGHER
TO AID IN GARY
INVESTIGATION
State to Study New York City
Schools
At the direction of Dr. Jolin^ H.
Finlcy, Slate Commissioner of Education, Dr. Thos. E. Fincgan, Assistant Commissioner of^ Education, is
conducting an investigation of the
Gary system of education. in New
York City, with a view of comparing
the system with oilier types now in
vogue, The probe will extend to the
educational, administrative and financial phases of the system over which
there was wide discussion in the. recent mayoralty campaign in New
York. The Gary system includes the
formal methods of training followed
by other schools of the State, and
also combines industrial features. In
carrying on his investigation, which
will require months, .Dr. Fincgan will
be aided by.Dr. H. S. Wect, superintendent of schools of Rochester; Dr.
A. R. Brubachcr, President of the
Slate College for Teachers, and Dr.
F, D. 13bynton, superintendent of
schools at Ithaca.
LADY WINDEMERE'S
FAN PLEASES LARGE
AUDIENCE
Miss Futterer Gives Artistic
Interpretation
Oscar Wilde's play of society life
was read lasl Friday evening in the
College Auditorium before a large
and -appreciative audience.
• The play, which satirizes society
life in its superficiality and emptiness, introduces many characters of
very distinct type In presenting^ the
play as a reading many opportunities
were afforded Miss Futterer to
demonstrate her versatility and appreciation of the characters. It is
due to her artistic effort and care of
details of presentation that all the
characters were vividly individual.
After the performance one of the
compliments paid Miss Futterer was
given by a theatrical critic, who compared her work very 'favorably to
that of Margaret Anglin, who
plavcd in "Lady Windemere's .Fan"
at the Hall.
Miss Jeanclte Keller, who gave several pleasing vocal solos, was generously applauded.
The proceeds of the entertainment
will be added to the Students' Friendship War Fund to help make life
bearable, for our boys at the front.'

Miss Van Liew Gives First of
Lecture Series
Head of H, E. Department Says Americans, Because of Luxury Have No
Background for Realization of Present Acute Food Situation
The first of a series of lectures on
food conservation was given by Miss
Van Liew last Friday, Feb. 28, at
Student Assembly. This series of
lectures is being given at all the
colleges in the country at the request
of Mr. Hoover, State College is certainly fortunate in having such an
authority on the subject as Miss Van
Liew within, its own doors.
Some people feel rather resentful
Over the fact that we are constantly
sending food abroad and going without it; ourselves, but such people do
not realize the seriousness of the
situation,
Miss Van Liew was
abroad when the war started. She
reached Paris about two weeks after
(he French army was mobilized. Before reaching there, the only food obtainable was one roll a meal and one
egg a day. Even in Paris there was
not enough food. America is in no
such condition as this. We are in
no clanger of starvation, but we must
readjust our habits of eating.
"The food shortage did not come
with the war, nor will it end when
peace is declared," The K)I5 crop
was the third largest America has
ever produced. The 1016 crop, however, was very small. Therefore,
when the allies called for help, we
sent them some of the former. The
citizen ai;my must feed the army ami
navy so that they can light the Kaiser.
We have adopted a huge family, a
family of about thirty million men,
and their families. They are lighting
our light and they can't fight and
provide at the same time. These
men are consuming from ,30 lo 40
per cent, more food than before,
because of their violent occupation.
America is in the practical shipping
district of the warring countries.
They must have wheat, animal products and sugar. Formerly Russia
led the world in the production of
wheat, but she herself consumed livesixths, leaving only one-sixth to be
exported. Now she has none for
other countries, The Allies consumed
about one billion bushels, six hundred
million of which fhev produced.
Their 1917 crop was deficient, and
they need 550,000,000 bushels. They
used to import wdieat from the United
States, Canada, Argentina, India,
Australia, Cuba and Java. Of all
these, supplies are only available now
from the United Slates and Canada.
The surplus of these two countries
together is so small that there is still
a shortage of about 320,000,000 bush-
els, If we save one pound a week we
can lower Ibis deficit lo about 150,uoo.ooo bushels. We can do Ibis by
using as substitutes corn, oats, bucktbc soldiers must be that which we
do without.
The demand for meat has increased because there arc more men
and women in active industries who
therefore require more. The source
of supply has, on the contrary,
diminished because the shortage of
labor, the high price of feed, the lack
of fertilizer and the low price of milk
have made it more profitable for people lo kill their cattle than to keep
them. Our meat export is now
double what it was in the three years
previous to the war. We send pork
to the warring countries because it is
easily preserved, lends itself to commercial handling readily (for example, bacon and bam), and is rich in
fat. Something must be done to stop
the wholesale slaughter of beeves.
We must have dairy products for
children, sick soldiers and for meat
substitutes for all. In Germany butter is $2.25 a pound and milk 50 cents
a quart, We are exporting an enormous amount of dairy products, three
times as much butter as in the threeyear pre-war period, eleven times as
mucli_cheese and nine times as much
condensed milk.
Sugar was the first thing affected
by the war, More than one-half the
beet sugar of the world used to come
from Germany, Austria and Russia.
Now the shortage of 2,000,000 tons
must come from new sources. Our
country has been consuming one-fifth
of the world's sugar production,
eighty-five pounds per capita per year
or four ounces a day. France has
only consumed twenty-one pounds
per capita per year. We are asked
to save one ounce a day. This would
enable us to send 1,100,000 tons per
year over there. We have no actual
food shortage now. The high prices
are due to a demand for the surplus,
which is less than usual. This lias
lead to speculation.
We've got to feed our allies and
ourselves now, and perhaps, after the
war, our enemies. Autocracy thinks
that we are too selfishly individualistic to desire Ibis and loo weak to
accomplish it. The war ladies of the
citizen army arc as clearly defined as
that of the army of fighters. The
strength of the men at the front depends on us!

We really have hope that spring is
coming; Barnum and Bailey's advance agents are in town.
Three of a kind will beat two pairs
in poker, but not in basketball when
the pairs are Maroncy and Sutherland, Barry and Fitz.
A home game with the Massachusetts Aggies will close a season during which our team has often been
beaten, but never defeated.
We wonder if the 30-minutc lunchcon period, filled with class and committee meetings, was invented by
Hoover.
How many War Saving Stamps do
you have?
CONTINUE EFFICIENCY
The " News " desires to congratulate Promethean and its president,
Margaret Shevlin, upon the efficient
work which they have done during
the past semester. The meetings have
been dignified and were conducted to
carry out its educational and literary
aim. The programs rendered have
enabled State College students to enjoy excellent music and literature
" without money and without price,"
and so have filled a pressing need to
the many students who have sacrificed
music and theatre to war-giving.
Since the constitution of Promethean determines that its officers shall
be changed each semester, it is the
duty of each member to be present
Thursday night to see that officers
who will continue the present efficient
policy are selected.
HAVE WE FAILED?
Some three weeks ago a Smileagc
Campaign was inaugurated at State
College, as a result of which seventeen dollars has been received. Since
our registration is practically eight
hundred students, it means that we
have given on the average a little
better than .two cents per capita.
May it not be worth our while to try
to ascertain why we have so miserably fallen down in this matter?
Since entering college last fall there
has been one continuous demand for
money, We have given to the Students' Friendship War Fund, to tobacco funds, to the Red Cross, furnished boxes.and bought bonds and
thrift stamps, We have denied our-
selves (which is well) and continually
solicited funds from our parents,
many of whom have had these same
charities to meet at home. At the
same time We hear of millions of dollars being spent for tobacco, and
army officers tell us that the men are
smoking so much that they arc actually injuring themselves. in the
theatres and other places of amusement we see numbers of soldiers
spending more money than ever before. We learn of men earning before entering the army $50 per month
now receiving from $360 and maintenance to $2,100 per year, and of the
government contractors making $9,000,000 commissions. We arc not
lacking in respect and honor for our
soldier boys, but when we realize that
the war, from present appearance,
may continue for several years yet,
may it not be well to conserve some of
otir energies for two or three years
from now? Have we fallen clown or
arc we acting in the light of reason?
ARE WE EQUAL TO IT?
Last Wednesday a goodly number
of S, C, T. students showed their
professional instincts by attending the
hearing on the Township School Bill.
They were afforded a splendid opportunity to catch a glimpse of an
attitude which they will need to combat in later years, not alone in rural
districts, but in cities as well,— and
incidently some dozen or so of Professor Kirkland's fallacies.
We wonder how many of these
future teachers asked themselves if
they will or could have a part in
overcoming rural prejudice and bettering rural conditions. There is no
doubt but that added expense is the
farmers' main objection to the present school law. When we take into
consideration, however, that in the
majority of those 3,800 school districts mentioned is employed a young
girl teacher, usually between 18 and
25, with an education not much in
excess of the first two years of high
fchool and a year in a training class,
and with a "heart interest" "to teach
long enough to buy some clothes to
get married in." we are better enabled
to understand the shouts of last
Thursday. Add to this a district superintendent who visits his schools
often enough and long enough to deliver the annual report and sign the
register, and we do not wonder that
"izing" is misunderstood.
If State College can instil into its
graduates ideals lofty enough and
strong enough to go forth and combat these conditions, to strive to raise
the qualifications for rural teachers,
and to prevent the use of the rural
schools as a city experiment station,
and to show to the farmer what
I'inleyizing and Finneganizing is
really trying to do. " I T WILL NOT

OPPORTUNITY
When you graduate from college
you will be thought of by many as a
person who is educated. But when
you begin to talk with people you
will show your narrow fund of
knowledge and interests. Should an
educated person be well versed on his
major and minor subjects of college
only, and be allowed to feel that lie
may excuse his ignorance and lack of
interest on all other subjects, some of
which are really vital to his own
existence and welfare?
College life lasts only four years.
Your interests arc narrowed and intensified in the time of life when
you should be broadening your interests, You should make use of every
opportunity to inform yourself on all
subjects that interest the mind of
man, Especially is this true of us
who are planning to become educators. All educators should help
their pupils to find life interesting
and helpful in developing potential
capacities. Can a narrow person do
this?
Have you found all the avenues of
activity by which you may be useful
to society and through which you
may demand the regard and respect
of your fellows? Why not make use
of the opportunities offered here in
college?
Why do you deprive yourself the
opportunity for broadening your interest and development of leadership
in the College Club, the most cosmopolitan organization in college? It
interests itself in all activities of man.
Make use of the lectures which arc
to be given under its auspices by the
faculty. You do yourself and your
college an injustice when you absent
yourself from such meetings. Show
our professors that their labors in
our behalf are appreciated and made
effective.

PROFESSOR MAHAR
ADDRESSES NEWMAN
CLUB
Speaker S h o w s Importance of
Celtic H i s t o r y
Newman Club held its regular meeting last Friday. A committee was
appointed to arrange for the Newman Dance, to be held April 13,
Because of the lectures on Democracy, the club meetings have been
changed to the first Wednesday of
the month at 4:10, instead of the
first Friday,
Professor John
Mahar, the
speaker of the afternoon, gave a
most interesting account of Ireland
and her early history. The Irish
are the main representatives of the
Celtic branch of the Indo-European
family, who migrated to Europe
about 2000 B, C, before any other
people. This is shown by the fact
that the important rivers in Germany, France, Ireland, England
and Spain bear Celtic names. The
Celts were early famed for their
power and their education. They
traveled through Africa to Spain.
Milesius, who migrated from Spain
to Ireland in 1698 B. C, is the
ancestor of the present Irish race.
The dynasty founded by him lasted
until the coming of the AngloXorman,— 2,850 years,— it is the
oldest of all dynasties that have
ever existed.
In a future lecture Prof. Mahar
expects to discuss Irish literature
more fully.

Do you ever stop and think about
your high school days and think that
it would be sort of fun to go back
once in a while and live some parts
of it oyer again? Do you remember
those literary society meetings where
therv was a miscellaneous collection
of vocal solos, recitations, piano
solos, joke papers a n d perhaps a talk
by a favorite teacher? It would be
hm to go to one of those meetings
again, wouldn't it? Well, here's your
chance!
Here is I he program for Promethean this week: Miss Cobb is going
to favor 11s by talking to us about
and
the Public
Americanization
Library. Vou siirelv can't afford to
miss that. Then there will be recitations by Sally Poorly and Edna
Class, vocal solos by Delia Ross and
Veronica Farrell. and Ann Smyth is
going t o read if a real old-fashioned
high school society j o k e paper. You
had better come because you may
learn you have been doing some very
unusual things lately.
The program will be followed by
election of officers for the new semester, All members are asked to pay
their dues at once. Opportunity for
this will be given after the meeting.
