Miss Flora Bentzel has about twenty
primary grade youngsters who can be
described only by the word "cute,' -
however silly that may sound. Miss
Mclaughlin has a larger group of
the second and third grade children
in another room. These children arc
mostly OF different nationalities and
make excellent material for the en-
bryo teachers to practice on. IL they
can successfully handle the mixed
crowd in the model schools they are
considered capable of teaching in any
schoolroom in the city.
Method of Procedure
The girls of the Junior class are
first given periods of observation in
the model schools, then allowed full
charge for q time under the direct
supervision of the model school
teacher. In the Senior year much of
the students time is taken in prac-
tice. Beginning in February, each
girl is sent for four days to assist a
teacher in each of the grades above
the first three, which are studied in
the model schools. Each student
must plan her work definitely before
hand, and is subject to the criticism
of the teacher in charge of the school,
who reports to Miss Vert.
Almost every year many OF the
Seniors have been placed on the sub
stitute list before the end of the
term, owing to the scarcity OF regular
substitutes. This time is placed to the
credit of the student and is considered
valuable practice.
Given Preference
The graduates of the school are
given preference over Normal school
graduates in the lower schools. The
city substitute lists are thrown open
to outsiders only when the local
school is unable to supply the re-
quired number.
Miss Vert says all the girls now in
her classes are much interested in the
work and are studying hard. Many of
them attend the teachers lectures
given weekly in the Technical High
School.
Under the school code, the city
training school is not recognized on
the same plane as the State Normal
Schools, despite the fact that in hum
dreds of instances the city training
school graduate possesses higher
qualifications than the normal gradu-
ate. The Harrisburg graduates have
six full years work whereas many
students enter Normal schools directly
from grammar schools or after a
short country high school training.
Subject to Many Tests
Tho Normal graduates are given
permanent certificates without further
examination, but the city training
school graduates are subjected to an
almost endless persecution of eXami-
nations. They can obtain a perma-
nent teachers certificate only after
a series of temporary certificates and
extended examinations in twenty one
different subjects and four prescribed
books on pedagogy. This cannot be
done under four years and often takes
much longer.
The alleged injustice of this dis
elimination in favor OF the State Nor
NAL Schools is the subject of much
criticism by many school authorities.

through a lesson, and has discipline
over her pupils equal to that in the
best-drilled primary school. She has
an intimate way of leading her class
that allows the freedom of informal
ity and yet commands the deepest
respect.
Miss Wert's teaching may be de-
scribed only as brilliant. She gives
the impression of not only knowing
thoroughly every subject in her course
but of having a broad knowledge of
general topics that will stand the
hardest s-questioning. But with
all this earnestness and ability she has
sense OF humor that smooths over
many hard period of teaching.
Bamboo Unnecessary
1t is not meant by this that Miss
Vert cracks jokes frequently in the
classroom, far from it, for she con-
siders earnest work first and last:
She does not have to give demerit
marks nor use moral suasion, nor
even a rattan; few words to a care
less girl are usually sufficient. 1t
has been reported that near the be-
ginning of a term, q Junior girl
brought a nickers worth of sweet
pickles to the training school and
tried to entertain her chumS while
the teacher was in the model school.
they say.
Survival of Fittest
The prospective teachers go through
q course of selection before, during
and after the training school term,
which really makes it n survival of
the fittest. Only girls recommended
by the principal of the High, School
are admitted and during Miss Werts
course, candidates are given to un-
derstand that unless they can make
good it is useless to- continue. The
careless, Indifferent pupil who does
not give promise of becoming efficient
teachers are encouraged. to adopt
some other line of life work. The
dignity and Importance of a teachers s
work are impressed at every stage of
the training.
Earnestness of purpose, a willing
ness to work and some indication of
natural ability to handle children are
requirements for the young women.
A physical examination is also made
before the student is admitted.
Course Diversified
The course of instruction embraces
two points Of view. 1t must implant
"a firm knowledge of the common
branches and must train the young
women in the best methods of i'm
parting it to children. The two-year
course of study includes a review Of
all the common school subjects
rhetoric and composition, algebra,
history and civil government, draw
ing, music, penmanship, physical cul-
ture, nature study and child litera-
ture, as well as the more theoretical
work OF school management general
principles of method, history of edu-
cation, special methods and psychol-
ogy. The art of story telling and
reading is given special attention. The
Bennett system of writing used in
the local schools is insisted upon.
Practice I'm Model Schools
The model schools in which the
girls get active practice are impor-
tant adjuncts of the training school

BOTH SIDES STOP FIRING
AS SOLDIERS STRETCH LEGS

Northern France. Jan. 8. - Word
was received yesterday of a curious
development of the Christmas truce on
the firing line. In a certain part of
the line British and German soldiers
sat on the edges of their trenches in
mutual agreement not to fire.
1t has not always been possible to
establish these relations with complete
spontaneity, but there have been sim
gularly few casualties arising from
them. The impromptu truce is likely
to become more frequent in places
where mud has made progress almost
impracticable, and there is strong In
cliration on either side to have ones
feet out of water to avoid cramp and
improve circulation.

Schmidt For Increase
Bernard Schmidt said it is a big
problem for the bakers, but that some
thing must be done If the price of
flour continues TO mount. "If the war
keeps up l think the price of wheat
is sure to be high and even if the war
should end soon, the big demand for
wheat in Europe would likely con-
tipue. We cannot reduce expenses
and we must buy flour to make bread.

"A. w. Andrews, of the Harrisburg
Baking Company, said the baker is
between two fires-"the high price of
flour and the unreasonable attitude
of the public who think they are be-
ing imposed on by raise in price
He said Harrisburg has now a larger
five-cent loaf than any other city he
knows.
Predictions have been made that
Americans will turn to cornbread as
the staff of life. In many places
stale bread clubs are being formed
by poor people who cannot afford
fresh bread at the increased price or
the reduced size of loaf.

SMALLER LOAVES AND IT'S
THE DEALER WHO'LL PROFIT

Washington, Jan. s.--Smaller loaves
OF bread or an increase in the price is
one likely result of the rise in wheat,
in the opinion of Charles J. Brand,
chief of the Federal Bureau of Mar
lets.
Moreover, Mr.. Brand believes the
American farmer will not be a first
hand beneficiary of the soaring prices
With good prices and good markets
which have prevailed for the last few
months, Mr.. Brand believes a major
1Lortion, of the 1914 wheat crop no
longer is owned by the farmers but
has passed to the hands of the eleva-
for men and the grain dealers.
