Two most interesting DOCKS We're Is
sued In the New Jersey State Normal
School BeIlevilyle and Fourth ave-
nues, today. One of them, "Peda-
gese," a magazine. is the work OF the
students; the other is the first annual
catalogue of the new school.
In "Pedagese" the literary talents
of a score or so of the 420 students
of the school are given full sway.
The little volum is filled with breezy
short stories, clever poems and
graphic descriptions, besides many,
many pages of timely news of the
school.
Some of the embrAinlH AShow
more than ordinary %6
difficult art of magazine iihs2 -
instance there is q short description
of a trip through Ireland, by Miss
Regina Mulcahy, daughter of David
b Mulcahy, of 81 Washington avenue.
Miss Mulcahy visited "Blarney Lany."
s she calsl the Emerald Isle in her
article, with other members of her
family last summer. That she as
simulated much of the spirit and at
mosphere of the country on her trip
is abundantly shown in the follow
ing description of Barney castle:
every few of all the people who
come to Ireland miss the chance to
kiss the Barney Stone. So wide
spread is the sentiment connected
with the charms of wit and barney
that all nationalities-Ger Eng
lish, Dutch or American-boast of the
achievement. The stone overlooks a
woodland, but on the opposite side of
the tower we looked down into the
depths of ravine, through the centre
of which a tiny, clear, crystalline
stream winded its way. On either
side of 1t as far as / could see were
lowing herds of cattle grazing con-
tentedly on the green hillsides, and
farther off from spotless little thatch-
rooted cottages lazy wrea,ths of
smoke assembled. Over all hung the
soft white clouds, kissing the distant
mountains and shielding them from
view.
Coming out of the castle grounds
we stopped for a little Irish tea and
cake, served by Blarney maid. As
we reached our jaunting car again =
typical little Irish shower overlook
us, but 1t simply made things greener,
and left glistening diamonds on the
ferns and forget-me- nots b ythe road
side. Returning by a different road,
we passed peat bogs, where men and
women were cutting this peculiar
muddy-like substance into blocks and
setting it out to dry for fuel. As the
little car logged into one little vii
lage, juggling it's tiny bells, many
pretty, rosy-cheeked maid peeped
out between the curtains, neglecting
her lace making to see the travellers
and dream of America, where per-
haps her brother or lover had jour-
neyed.
Bells of Shannon rang out in clear
mellow tones The Hard That Once
Through Tara's Halls All, Ireland!
indeed she has seen better days, but
though we begin by plying her, we
end in loving her, for the record OF
her suffering saddens us, the story of
her heroism thrills us and the vision
of her beauty charms us.
Then there is 1.-The Philosophizing
of Donnie s." short story, by Miss
Mildred B. Versoy, in which the writer
shows considerable knowledge of the
tricks of literary craftsmanship.
Alexander Goldberg contributes two
short poems "Wanderlust" and ITO
Thee" in which one looks in vain Tor
flaws in rhyme, meter or sentiment.
uaraphrase of "Il Penseroso" is
the work of Miss Marie M. Fricina,
and a most creditable piece OF work,
too. Then there are poems, editorials
and literary articles of other kinds,
all of them rejecting great credit on
students and teachers.
There is only one thing lacking in
the magazine. 1t probably would not
be noticed by casual reader were 1t
not for the fact that the editors call
attention to it themselves by apologize
ing for its absence on the editorial
page. That is social news. "Peda-
gese" has a staff of eight, however,
to ere for thmat important branch of
the publication, and in coming num-
bers of the school paper social news
probably will occupy prominent
part.
Miss Helen j. MacCaskie is editor
in-chief of "Pedagese." Miss Rae
jacobson is her associate editor, and
the business managers are Ruth
Landesman and Alexander Goldberg.
All have done their work well, includ-
ing the last named, as the pages of
advertisements will attest.
The new publication is bound at
tractively in cream-colored linen, and
the cover design Is neat.
The school catalogue is another in
teresting volume. 1t contains de-
tail all information regarding the
students, the faculty and the course
Of study, and is profusely illustrated
with views of the new building and
pictures showing pupils and teachers
at work in various departments of the
school.
