TWENTY-ONE YEARS OF JARMAN SENIOR INSTALLATION

OUR PRESIDENT DR. JOSEPH L. JARMAN

The fourth president of the State Normal School for Women at Farmville, Virginia, is Dr. ^^^A^M. J. 1.. [arman. To those of us who know hint it is needless to give the growth of the school under his leadership, hut for the benefit <»f our new girls we want to give briefly an account of his work here. The growth of the institution under his wise and kindly administration has been rapid and steadv and the development has keen an allLBV ' fltf^H Bided one. In 1902 there were thirteen members of the faculty and three hundred and nine students of whom only thirty-eight were profesBESS -<y sional. Everyone can see how these numbers have been enlarged upon. The buildings have been remodeled and enlarged until practically nothing remains of the original. The Training School, Infimary, Laundry, Tower House, and the Easl Wing of the Main Building have all keen added. The following property has been bought: Thaxton, Williamson. Duvali. B ' SI Stone, Venable, and Vaughan cottages. The pJL Yak homes of Mr. Hell and Mr. Fatig have also been 1 &* j 1 -■> 1 secured recently. Work has begun on the Stu; Ik 1 dent Building. The interior of the school has been remodeled many times. -| |5 The Faculty has keen reorganized on the Department System; the course of study has been improved and strengthened until it stands on a par with those of the best Normal Schools of the country; and the course has keen added, which gives the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Education.

I have you letter of November _\ in which you ask me to write a short letter, giving my opinion of I >r. Jarman. I have sometimes told Dr. Jarman, in jest, that it would not do for me to give my opinion of him. In all seriousness, however, I have, in common with all who know I >r. Jarman intimately, a very high regard for him as a public man; as a citizen; as a friend; as a leader in ed ucational work. Tke monumental work he has done as President of the State Normal School at Farmville is far more eloquenl than descriptive words could he. The close contact I have had with him for many years has caused me to regard him, not only with admiration, hut with affection. Cordially yours, J. D. Eggleston, President. Dr. J. I).

OUR ROTUNDA OFFICE

VAUDEVILLE BIG SUCCESS

Being a True Story of a Transformation.

The Glee Club and Orchestra Present Vaudeville.

It is necessary, supposedly gentle hut probably ferocious reader, to ask you to use your divine gift of imagination for a few moments. It is April, in the year of our Lord, one thousand, nine hundred and twenty-two. The scene is the Rotunda office. But not the Rotunda office of today. Par from it. Look about you. The ceiling is cracked hither and yon, and seems about to descend upon our luckless heads in rage. The walls are of damp, discouraged gray, with many freckles and other unhealthy discolorations. There is a typewriter, of the vintage of '83. a dejected looking table, and a few tired chairs whose every countenance is one of despair and a forlorn submission to a cruel fate. A pile of worn out Rotundas reposes in a corner. A lone girl sits at the table, her head bowed in her hands. It is ye poor editor, too overcome by environment to do aught hut mourn over the hopelessness of life. We creep away. Reader, while we are yet able. The time is today. The scene is the Rotunda office—but on first glance we are tempted to cry out in astonishment."Why, they've moved the office!" And indeed, few would recognize our late dark gray elephant with its face washed and new clothes on. The ceiling and walls are smooth, unblemished, and of a pristine purity. New furniture adorns the room. There is a table, a desk with a light all its own. many chairs, each with four whole legs, a cabinet, a new typewriter with its special stand and chair, and a book case, all fairly crying out their eagerness to he used. There are all manner of lights in place of the one which wouldn't work before; there is even a big blotter on the table; and crowning glory of all. there is a rug. At the table are two girls busily writing, while another complacently beats on the typewriter. The floor between the two is heaped with typewritten copy. POT what staff couldn't work iii such an office? No wonder the staff nierch smiles as though it owned all the world when some one wants "that entertainment written up right away." and going into the office, proceeds to get itself inspired and forthwith writes it. Who was the Angel of Mercy who made these things possible? Need you ask? It was Dr. Jarman, of course. ENTERTAINMENT COURSE

Friday evening. Nov. 3. at 8:30, under the direction of Miss Munoz. the (dee Club and ( )rchestra of the Farmville State Normal School presented a high class vaudeville. The program opened with the All Star Musicians Non Pariel and ended with "La Kaniosa

< >rquesta Espanola I'or La Celebre Senorita Crictina Munoz." In between the beginning and the end the audience received plenty of laughter. Mademoiselle Shields made quite a hit with "I Can't do a Thing With My Hair Since It's Washed." "Si Perkins on Broadway" and Favorite Melodies of By-gone Days" were unusually attractive. Then in "Her First Appearance" the scene changed and the audience was given a chance to weep instead of laugh. The Dumb Bells changed it hack and gave the crowd another laugh.

The Training Scho.il opened with an enrollment of 295 in the grades and 108 in the High School Department, making a total of 403. For the past three years elasses in the Training School have been corresponding with pupils from other schools, both in this country and abroad. We have jusl received, in answer to our letters last spring a tnosl interesting portfolio from the children of the Centre School. Perth, Scotland. This portfolio contains postcards of Perth and photographs of groups of children from the different gra« les, letters from the children and short essays on the following subjects: Our School, Perth and Port, Perth in History. Industries of Perth and Our City. The pleasure and interest in the opening and en joying of this portfolio can besl he shown by the enthusiasm with which the children wish to begin their foreign correspondence this Fall.

been

treated so extensively that it appears a matter of policy for the extremely amateur writer to go in the opposite direction for material. Therefore, I shall present the unpleasant things met with by even average traveler. These troubles may be divided into two classes, those of the day. and those of the night. Let us ciinsider the trials of a day spent on the train, or even part of a day. At the very beginning, enthusiasm is daunted when the jolting motion of the train makes one stumble over projecting baggage or strike some indignant person in the eye with an umbrella. Then, after the traveler has settled down in comparative calmness, B baby starts crying invariably. The child is usually of tender age and quite unmanageable. X<> human power can prevent it from giving vent to its wrath against its surroundings. This same infant has two or three obnoxious brothers and sisters in most cases who prove as bad or even worse than the baby. Their fingers are very sticky, their faces very dirty, decorated with candy and bread crumbs, and they possess the most persistently inquisitive dispositions to be found anywhere. They do not hesitate to examine everybody's property, making audible comments and asking embarrassing questions meanwhile. Like the baby, they, too, go their way, regardless of the meledictions of their fellow travelers. Several other people could be dispensed with, among them, the old gentlemen who raises the window in cold weather, freezing the rest of the passengers to the point of pneumonia, also letting in a multitude of cinders, eagerly awaiting an opportunity to pounce in some one's eye. Me has a match in the old lady who not only keeps her window down but insists on her neighbors doing likewise when the temperature is rapidly approaching the boiling point. ( )thers could be mentioned, but these are minor sources of discomfort compared with those already listed. The tribulations of the traveler at night are not SO grievous, but they are quite different from those of the day. They concern things rather than people as a general rule, except in the case of the heavy sleeper who snores sonorously. The Pullman berth is a very obectionable feature. It is tiÂť, short for any one over five feet in height, so the average person spends an uncomfortable night if he Stays any length of time in one position. I hi the other hand, if he lifts his head, or attempts sitting up, he gets a disconcerting blow lioni the ceiling. Just when sleep descends, moreover, there will be a violent jerk and rasping noises, jarring the system and suggesting wrecks. The traveler is haunted bv tales of previous wrecks on the same road. If he survives all these things, keeping his mind intact, there is one more ordeal to go through. If he has hardy nerves, he will not mind passing by the Pullman porter on leaving the tram. but most people, shrinking visibly under the Ethiopian gaze, feebly press a coin into his dusky palm. Patt services seem written in his eyes and a look seemingly expectant of princely reward. Considering all these nuisances, it is certainly a great wonder that the \nicrican people are a restless, traveling nation, never content to stay peacefully at home, but always seeking pastures new.
