STATE COLLEGE ANNOUNCES
SHORT COURSES FOR FARMERS

One of the most effective means by
which the Pennsylvania State College
has been able to increase it's usefulness
to the farmers of the state and their
families has been through the annual
winter short courses in agriculture and
home economics.
Time was when the farmer was
content to spend the winter at home
largely as his inclination directed, but
tho increase in enrolment from year
TO year in the winter courses in agri-
culture as provided by various State
institutions over the country indicate
a different trend to-day. Where these
courses once covered a small number
of subjects they to-day cover every
branch of agriculture and provide in
struction alike for the farmer and his
family.
The winter short courses at State
College begin December 6. 1916, and
end February 2S, 1917. The subjects
offered this year are broader in scope
and idea than ever before. Students
entering these courses havo the added

Penn State Collegians Inaugu-
rate Freshmen to Weed;
Unique "Ad' Campaign

countians turned out very numerously
on saturday night when the Harrisburg
Club of State College gave it's annual
reception and smoker in honor of the
freshmen who are enrolled in this in
stitution from Harrisburg and vicinity.
President Patterson had charge of a
snappy business meeting preceding the
feed" in which a number of important
matters We're discussed by the club.
Upwards OF seventy men were pres
ent.
One OF the subjects that called for
quite a bit of discussion was the show
ing in Harrisburg of several reels of
motion pictures taken up and about the
college buildings and campus. The
date is to be set later probably in the
the Spring, Just before Easter. This is
one OF the means the club will take TO
advertise the college among the high
school students Of Harrisburg and vi
cinity.
The Harrisburg Club is among the
foremost organizations of its kind in
the college and is leader both in
membership and activities. This is evil
denced in the fact that a prominent
faculty member will be obtained TO
address the club in future meetings
which from now on will be held on the
first Saturday evening of each month.
Further steps We're taken in prepar-
ing for the annual university dance to
be held in Winterdale Harrisburg. dur
ing Christmas vacation under the aus
pices Of this club. President Patterson
announced the appointment of the COM
mite on arrangements as follows:
George W. Bowman, II. chairman: L.

B. Patterson. II; Carson McAllister,

Suggestions were offered concerning
the clubs entering the social life OF
the college by holding a dance of its
own here in the village sometime dur
ing the winter. The matter will be con-
sidered by a committee.

CHILDISH FEARS VERY REks
Parents Are Apt to Underestimate
Their Effect on the Minds of
the Little Ones.

The mother knew that her son ha0
been afraid of the dark for years, but
had thought him long cured Of it be-
cause he always went up TO bed az
night alone with his younger brother
SO she refused to go upstairs with him,
or let his brother go, as Peter was
amusing the company at that moments
Jack went out and was gone such
long time that finally the mother was
alarmed and went to see what was the
matter. She found the boy crouched
half way up the stairs, slowly creep
ing up, but plainly terrified. When
he saw her the lad started to cry con
vulsively and said that something was
hiding at the top Of the stairs, ending
his statement with, "but you told me
to go, mother SO was going" 1t was
the truest form of bravery, because he
was slowly going right on up, although
almost scared to death.
Anything that might produce fear in
the child's mind should be avoided like
the plague, for it is just as disas-
trous to the chflds mentality as some
dread disease might be to his body.
Take, for instance, the practice on.
the part of really kind-hearted par
ents of throwing child in the water
to teach him to swim. This severe
method may succeed in certain cases.
but its usual effect is to teach the
child not only to dread and fear the
water for years but also to lose his
confidence and trust in his parents.
Be careful to keep fear from your
children'S minds.
