thou be when thou comest out"
This is placed over the door of the

school in Wayne county. He spoke
of the privileges of attending the
school in the county, of the loyalty
of the students and of their conf

Professor George Kemp, son of DR..
e. l.. Kemp, principal of the Strouds-
burg State Normal School, Prof.
Kemp brought a message from his
father, who was unable to be in at
tendance. Prof. Kemp based his talk
upon a letter which had been receiv-
ed at the school asking to which
school certain man should send his
daughter. Principal Kemp replied,
ITO the East Stroudsburg State
Normal School, of course" He con-
tinued this line of thought, showing
that the record of this particular
school has been clean in all its de-
partments, in its athletics and in
fact everything that pertains to the
school. 1t is the custom of the
school never to resort to any illigiti-
mate means to secure students, but
that they depend on the standard of
the school, efficiency of the faculty
and the alumni. Prof. Kemp said
there are 1000 graduates of this
normal school and that they act as
good advertisement to secure new
students.
