proper esteem for schools on the
part of the public had much to do
with the seriousness of the present
situation, for so long as the outside public view the school situation in a humorous light teachers
won't have the respect due their
profession, and as a result they
won't receive the salaries they
should.
Dr. Hrubacher likened State College and similar training institutions in New York state to the
officers' training camps of the wartime days. In concluding his address he made an appeal that each
member of this officers' training
camp constitute himself as a recruiting officer and go before the
student body of his home town high
school and, by presenting to them
the great need of teachers and the
new status of the teaching profession, endeavor to gain good, healthy
recruits for the teaching game and
our own particular camp.
The rest of the period was given
over to the learning of a peppy new
song, Florence Stubbs, '20, assistant song leader, directed the singing.
