DR. JOSEPH L. JARMAN
i
Dr. Joseph L. Jarman, fourth President of the State Normal School, was born in C'harlottesvillc, Virginia, on the 19th day of November, 1867. His father, William Dahncy Jarman, served in the Confederate Army, and his mother was Catherine Coodloe Lindsay, of the well-known Lindsay family of AllxmarL- County. His early education was obtained in the public schools of Charlottesvillc, and at the age of fourteen (having been left an orphan) he was sent to the Miller Manual Training School, where he remained from 1881 to 1886. In the competitive examination, he won the Miller Scholarship at the Inivcrsity of Virginia, where he was a student from 1886 to 1889, devoting himself especially to, the Natural and Physical Sciences. Upon completion of the course at the University, he returned to Miller School as a member of the faculty, but remained there only one year as, at the end of that time, he was called to the chair of Natural Science at Emory and Henry College. He filled this position for twelve years, and left it in 1902, to take up work at Farmville. During his stay at Emory and Henry College the degree of A. B. was conferred upon him by that institution, and since he has been in Farmville. HampdcnSidney College has honored him with the 1.1.. D. degree. Within the past year Dr. Jarman has been elected to Phi Ben Kappa by the University of Virginia Chapter, an honor that comes to alumni only after a prolonged period of distinguished service. Dr. Jarman has been a member of many state and national organizations and he has held responsible offices in these organizations. However, his greatest contribution has been made in connection with education in Virginia, and particularly in connection with the State Normal School at Farmville. The history of the educational renaissance in Virginia which has taken place in the last thirty years is the history of the work of wise and courageous leaders, among whom Dr. Jarman ranks near the top. The State Normal School at Farmville. which is both a result and a cause of the movement for better education in the state, has had a conspicuous part in the development of education in Virginia. A good foundation was laid when Dr. Jarman became president in 1902, but it was only a beginning. From a relatively small school doing high grade secondary-school work in the main, it has become a modern teachers college, with strictly professional courses, covering four years' work, with diversified types of work fitting students for many types of service in the state, and an enrollment of over 700 students. It has been ranked by competent judges among the best nomal schools of the country. This growth in the large is due to the foresight, careful planning, and energy of Dr. Jarman. But an institution is more than buildings, courses, faculty, and students. Merc numbers and comparative statistics do not begin to describe the State Normal School, or the work of Dr. Jar[Continued on page 2.]

Dear Rotunda, I I hear a great deal of talk about degrees, especially on Friday mornings, when the caps and gowns of the Seniors are -<> much in evidence. The I!. S. degree seems to be the topic of conversation. Of course I spent my school days many years ago, and don't understand the principles underlying the conferring of degrees: but I'vc heard that Dr. Jarman has an L.L. D. from Hampden-Sidney, and I'd like for him to have a B. S. from the State Normal School. I do not know what the two letters mean ordinarily, hut they made a very good Latinized sounding abbreviation for Student Building, and since he has made the erection of the Student Building a vital part of his life's work, I'm sure he would like to have some suggestion of it in his name J L Jarman, B.

CHILDREN'S BOOK WEEK The fifth annual Children's Hook Week is to be observed November 11-17, 1923. It was instituted under the auspices of the American Library Association in 1919. The object of the Association is to interest the public in the selection of suitable literature for children and to encourage children in the use of library facilities. November has btm selected because this is the time when many people are buying Christmas gills. Those who wish to present children with books will find the lists prepared by the Association an invaluable aid, and it is hoped that parents and friends will avail themselves of the opportunity offered. Relative to this occasion, one of our current magazines remarks: "It is to be considered a time in which inventory of progress, mental conditions and the attitude of juveniles towards books as a part of their daily environment can be made the field in which the library may do its work most effectively, because purposefully done." »••♦.
