SARATOGA TRIP, JULY 29 State College News (Summer Edition) NEW YORK STATE COLLEGE FOR TEACHERS ESTABLISHED BY THE CLASS OF 1918 VOL. II NO. 3 ALBANY, N.

We are glad to know that Mr. [lesser will sing again next Friday evening. The second surprise was given by Miss Anna Nctikom and Professor Marry Hircheiioiigb, who would ever suspect thai Miss Nenknin could whistle? Or that Professor Birchcnough could play? Will wonders ever cease? we thought. They didn't cease, for Professor York, the only human phonograph on record appeared next, lie contributed greatly to the success of the evening. It was remarked 'afterwards by a great many people that Professor York ought to patent his voice, and advertise in all I he magazines. Our greatest surprise was given by Dr. Hastings himself. His delightful readings from Pickwick Papers, were certainly enjoyed. Dr, Hastings is to be congratulated upon bis ability in producing faculty surprises. After a few announcements, the surprise parly adjourned to the gymnasium, where Charley Reilly's Jazz Hand played for dancing. In between the dances soft drinks were sold lo the thirsty.

M. 4 .ft. m THE SARATOGA MONUMENT BUS RIDE All arrangements arc made for the trip to Freeman's Farm, the site of General Burgoyne's defeat, this coming Saturday morning, July 29th. Busses will leave the Washington Avenue entrance of college promptly at 9 o'clock. This is the lirst opportunity that many of you have had to visit what is perhaps the most historic spot in America. Many places in our country may boast more historical events, but none so great a one. The battle that took place at Freeman's farm in October, 1777, ranks among the fifteen decisive bat'les of the world's history. ]l was the turning point in the misfortunes of the Continental Army and in the successes of the British, France, believing as the result of this campaign, that the Colonists d!d stand a show to break from England's rule, came to our aid both financially and with a fleet and army under the gallant LaFayctto, It will be possible to walk over the battle-ground, tn examine it carefully, perhaps even to pick up a bullet in some ploughed field. Here, too, stands the great monument with its one vacant niche where rightly, if he had continued to remain loyal to his trust, would stand the statue of Benedict Arnold, than whom no man fought more gallantly that day. Mr. Hidley and Mr. Waterman of the history department, will both be at the battlefield to explain the significance and topography of the spot. Do not be mistaken and fee! that because the primary interest in the trip will be historical, that only members of the history department can go. Anyone can go, whether he knows a word of history or not, or regardless ot whether or not he went last year. Our only stipulation is that you buy your ticket early, that you be at college to start on time, and that you bring your lunch with you. It is thirty miles to the battlefield through the most beautiful country, so that the ride alone is easily worth the $1.25 that you will pay for your ticket. 50 cents for Summer DR. McCORD GIVES HEALTH LECTURE Doctor McCord, of the State Health Department, gave the first of a series of Friday afternoon lectures a week ago, before^ the College Nurses' Training Class. Doctor McCord told first of the trouble that the school nurse had had in overcoming the. prejudices of the teacher, who at first had not been too willing to cooperate, with her. But ten years of efficient work and steady progress are doing much to bring the nurse into high favor with all of her associates. The rest of the hour was spent in showing lantern slides of the health work that is being done in the schools of Albany and the vicinity. Every Albany school child is given an examination yearly, and the school nurse sees to it that (he doctor's suggestions are carried out. and where the parents are unable to meet the expense of proper medical care, the Board of Education takes steps to see that the child has the needed attention. Tn cases of tuberculosis the children are taken to a school roof where other cases are also kept. Here they sleep and play and study out of doors, even in the bitterest weather, protected by their warm cskimo suits, and served warm nourishing food from the school kitchen. Tt is no longer proper, Doctor McCord went on lo say, to close the schools because of an epidemic. If the schools arc closed, the children are only left free to run the streets, and contract the disease from their playmates. But if in case of contagious disease the children are kept in_ school, they can be examined daily bv nurses and doctors, in cases of diphtheria cultures can be taken, and those showing signs of illness, can lie isolated and the spread of the disease quickly and easily stoppedIt has long been known, however paradoxical it may seem, that city children arc more healthy than the children of rural districts. This was true in sm'ttf of the much boasted advantages of the country, because as one man said—the country air was so fine, because everyone slcnt with their windows closed. But with the school nurse and the advent of more sanitary rural schools, the country is fas'' becoming as healthful a place in which to live as the city. FIRST ORGAN RECITAL On Wednesday afternoon, July 19, Prof. T. Frederick IT. Candlyn gave the first of bis series of organ recitals at St. Paul's Episcopal Church. Many availed themselves of the opportunity to hear a master of the pine organ, give several selections. Both the faculty and student body were represented. The program was as follows; (Continued on page 3.) STATE COLLEGE NEWS, JULY 25, 1922 Page Two OUR BULLETIN BOARD duties, services, and pleasStat?

Reporters Harvey Fourier Ofcna Rclvea DO IT NOW Since the summer session began two weeks ago, there has been a table in the rotunda for the sale of Student Association tickets. As yet only about 300 have been sold. It sounds pretty small, doesn't It? Out of the 900 or more students enrolled only ,100 have shown their appreciation of the opportunities offered. What is the matter? VVe know yon all like a good time. So thai can't be the reason. VVe know the work is hard, and the weather is hot. But there is more to college life than just hard plugging all the time, Too much work tends toward narrow - mindedness, a thing which all teachers must steer clear of. Can it be that you are shy and timid? It is hard to believe that in this modern age there arc very many people afflicted with such a malady. So all the reasons why yon shouldn't buy a ticket are knocked on the bead. Now we come to the question we could have thrown at you in the first place. Why don't you buy a Student Association ticket? Then yon can enjoy life. Just think, a party every week with lots of extras thrown in. Then, lastly, VOu get each week a copy of the " News." It comes in very handy if you want to sit out on the lawn under a tree. Step right up and 'buy a ticket now. Show your spirit. We're all together. COMING LECTURES E. W. Barnhart, Specialist in Commercial Education and a member of the Federal Board of Vocational Education at Washington, D. C, will be here Wednesday and Thursday, July 26 and 27, to meet those who are interested in commercial education.

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, JULY 25, 1922 Page Four EVOLUTION OF THE "CO-OP" Two years ago the " Co-op " did not exist except in the minds of a few who believed that a system could be arranged whereby students might obtain more directly and at less expense the text books and supplies necessary to them in their college work. The one to make this idea a reality was Miss Helen Fay, one of State's own graduates and member of the College History Department. In the fall of 1920, Miss Fay, with no capital save the enthusiastic backing of the Faculty, opened the Book Club, with as optimistic a spirit as the girl must have had who said she went through college on faith in Cod and her sister's old clothes. From this small beginning the " Co-op" has grown to meet as nearly as possible all the needs of the college student. Eighteen hundred checks were cashed during the first year. This summer alone, twelve hundred and thirty text books have been sold. During the summer we attempt to carry a full line of drawing supplies. We are glad to fill all individual orders for books or other articles you may desire. Co-operation is not merely a word to the manager of the " Coop." It is a living principle, according to which all our business is transacted. Our books arc sold at a reduction from the list price. All supplies are handled on the same basis. In short, we share our profits with the student body. During the summer one of the special features is the book exhibit, which is of course of great interest and benefit to teachers. This summer, beginning July 24, in Room B and the "Co-op," there will be exhibits from four different publishing companies. The F, A. Owen Company presents books which are of special interest to grade school teachers. Art teachers will find the Scott, Foresman and Co. exhibit particularly helpful. Teachers of English will be glad to see the books from Houghton Mifflin, while those specializing in geography or Americanization work, should examine the display from the American Book Company. One of the most generally helpful departments of the Book Club is that of the second-hand books. We do not buy these books, but we take them and sell them for you at two-thirds the list price. From this we deduct twenty percent, sending you the remainder. It is scarcely necessary to mention the mutual benefit derived from such an arrangement. On the second-hand shelves, you will find a wide choice of books that you may like to add to your library. Here are a few of our present stock: HTSTORY Hayes: Political and Social History of Modern Europe, Vol. II. Rhodes: History of the Civil War. Van Tyne: Rise of the New West. FRENCH Voltaire's Prose. Plays, novels, and short stories by the best nineteenth century French writers. ENGLISH Books for use in oral English work. A few Pocket Classics. A ft • Riverside Classics. Watcn the bulletin board for FACULTY-STUDENT RECEPTION Friday evening the big electric sign in the " g y m " shone bright and gay as a welcome to all of the students of the summer session of S. C. T. Friends and students ot last summer were reunited witu their old chums and met many new friends besides. In order to facilitate the "get-together" part or the program, each onc^ of us wore a little white paper with our names, addresses and occupations all down in black and white. Dr. Brubachcr, the president of the college, who was scheduled to speak, was unable to be present. Professor Decker, director of the summer session, refused to make " a real speech," but he made the matriculated students feel as though they really had a hearty and sincere welcome to State College. Miss Grace Fox, the director of the Social activities foi the summer and a member of the Class of '23, introduced the speakers and told us of the good Utiles in store for us at the Friday night entertainments, Then we all formed two large concentric circles and marched around the " g y m " to the sound of good, snappy music and entertained ourselves after the marmot of children "Going to Jerusalem." For every time that the music stopped, we literally grabbed out nearest neighbor and talked her head off until the music started again. They told us to talk about our favorite professors, but the majority of us thought that: that was rather unwise, as a few of them were in the circles. And then we had about two hours of dancing. We danced with our old friends, and we danced with our new friends. The latter part of the evening was made especially pleasant as refreshments were seryed, and who is not ready to cat—especially when the weather is hot and the " e a t s " are in the form of icecream and wafers?
