Hicks On my summer tour of books and recreation I pause at Victoria, the old English city of North America. Princess Louise stands there beckoning with her many flags to help complete the beautiful boat-flecked harbor of Victoria. Reaching down to the wharf the grandeur of Victoria greets you. The gang-plank carries one into full view of the harbor stadium. (Wouldn't I like to be there on evenings when the chorus and bands meet for their concerts over the water!!!) To the right are the parliament buildings •with their, flower-lined lawns, statutes arid fountain: The murals of Captain Cook and other early pioneers decorate the walls of the large corridor. It was after 11:00, so to get to"the senate room before noon meant that I must,go at once. On reaching the senate room which was completely carpeted with huge blue plush rugs, we, host of Arntzen followers, were reminded of the familiar phrase, "left and right wingers'. And did -you have a chance to see the relics of the good ship "Beaver", one of the first on the Pacific coast, and the many other things of interest in the archives of the parliament building? • * » c * I, too, would like a couple of days to see the museum' exhibits. First time I can catch a ferry I shall head directly for those Butchart gardens. "Heavenly" is the way most people have described them for me. Well, my partner and I covered miles in that last hour and then waved farewell with only half our plans realized. Thanks to the recreational committee and to our reliable weather prophet, we had a jolly fine time. • * • * * Two-hundred-eighty-three people of the U. S., motorists, gathered for "The Great Round-up of the Skies" last July Fourth. Do you realize that is an average of six people per state? Washington won a notable record in this regard as we motored safely through the day without a fatality. * » » » « One World War veteran should be given a big hand for the precedent established. I understand that he sent his bonus to the commission for International Peace. It is a proven fact that advertising pays. No doubt the peace commission can use'the price of a great number of bonuses to picture the values of world peace, and if this man's few dollars is.the instrument that will prevent an early break in family ties, I'm sure that he will feel well repaid. * • • * * * I would tell you how to do those tricks of magic of the recent assembly but you have those already figured out? Five dollars to the man who can tell where those eggs and the rabbit went. "What My American Citizenship Means to Me" was the title of the declamation with which Miss Sylvia Karjalainen of Aberdeen, Wash., won the Elks* oratorical contest last week, in a straightforward way she. told of the experiences of herself and her family in Soviet Russia, and /urged others to cling to American freedom. The Aberdeen World., went on to say that Miss Karjalainen was winning something of fame for herself. Her speech was published ifc newspapers throughout the northwest and many people had sent her lettelfc of congratulation, among them Governor Clarence D. Martin.

The play was written and the stage settings and costumes were designed by Miss Eaton. Nine puppets were used. She impersonated five voices and her brother, six. A glimpse into the strange fairyland of FoOzeleum, with the "Ali-gator Bird", really an enchanted Duchess, was the theme of the show. . In reviewing the past NEA convention, Dr. E, A. Bond, Belling-ham Normal's official delegate, considered the panel discussion on education and democracy the most noteworthy. This meeting was opened by Commissioner of Education Dr. Studebaker. Speaking on the necessity for academic freedom Dr. Studebaker stated: "Schools should be free to study any system of government and its working. To withhold facts is not education." Youth Unchanged On attitudes of students, President Bruce Baxter of Willamette university gave an address, mentioning in particular the desirable qualities in young people. With this in mind Mr. Baxter read a passage from an NEA report Of 1904 lamenting the lack of desirable traits of young people in that day. Smilingly, President Baxter said: "Prom this group you came and left tb.e impression that the youth were not superior to those of today." Perfection Bather Than Expansion Stressing the fact that American education is entering a phase of perfecting itself rather than of spending its energies Upon expansion, the convention drew comment from the . Portland Oregonian. "This conservative paper", Dr. Bond says, "disbelieves in the value of the loyalty oaths now on the statute books of 19 states, as they are an example of what legislation might do to the educational system". The main thought brought from the Portland meeting was departure from the present day movement toward gagging teachers and casting pupils into set molds. ^o— One Act Play Will Be Given By Dramatists 'The Valiant* to Be Presented By Former Outstanding .

She chose as her subject, "An Approach to Poetry Appreciation." Dr. Bond represented the Normal at the convention and spoke on the subject of "Present Trends in the Teaching of Arithemetic." "Arithmetic is a coherent, unified science rather than a multiplicity of details. The thread of unity that runs through the whole science should' be recognised at every- step. This is best done by relating facts to experiences," stated Dr. Bond. By Elmer Lindquist With greetings by many dignitaries, the Pacific Northwest Institute of International Relations opened their Id-day conference Monday morning at Reed college, Portland, Oregon. The greetings were rendered by Mr. Estes Snedecor, chairman of 'the institute; Pres.

Military Training or Not Probably the most significant occurence in today's news was an article issued by the American Institute of Public Opinion concerning the Civilian conservation Corps. This bureau conducted a nation-wide poll with the purpose of discerning the public's attitude toward the CCC, Franklin D. Roosevelt's pet New Deal project. The startling* factor in the compilation, directed by Dr. George Gallup of New York City, was not the fact that a majority of voters wished to continue the CCC but rather that an overwhelming part of the voters favored the addition of military training to the men's duties. The actual figures are shown below: Yes No Women -74% 26% Farmers 77 23 Reliefers 78 22 Young People 68 32 College Students 59 41 These results are a revelation to many people who have imagined that the pacifists were firmly entrenched in. our American governmentt It might be well for whose who favor military training in the CCC camps to think further than the • fact that 250,000 men would be added to the standing army. If such an addition of military instruction is carried out, no longer will we be able to scoff at Hitler's militaristic policy or look askance at Mussolini's antagonistic course. It would destroy any benefit derived from the consultations with diplomatic heads of other nations concerning disarmament plans. It would signify our intention of keeping pace with . Germany and Italy and setting the pace for Great Britain, France, and Japan. And most important, it would lower the whole standard upon which our democratic government is based. Can this be the opinion of the people at large? o OUR SOCIAL STUDY GROUP SOMETHING NEW? And friends were glad to call around You greeted with a smile, And friends were glad to call around To stay with me awhile. But lately life has taken on An aspect queer and strange And everybody wonders what Has brought about the change For, I mumble and I mutter As I stroll upon the street And erstwhile friends pass quickly by If we by chance should meet. My eyes are dull and vacant and My mind is in a fog. My voice resembles very much The croaking of a frog. I know you all are wondering Just how this came about, I'll tell you all the secret, But please don't let it out. For really I'm as happy As a baby with the croup, For I'm getting educated in Our Social Study Group. Track, football, and baseball teams have driven their respective ways to either glorious victory or inglorious defeat, many times depending upon the number of the much-needed supporters present in the time-worn stands pictured here— Only too often has that number been not numerous enough to mention. But not only for athletic events has this structure been made use of— Tis said that several times a certain Eveready about school has been focused upon those who chose its idyllic haunts in preference to Sehome or Sunset Heights. Those to his own choosing, so what? Point of View By Harlan Jones In which we attempt to coerce the perogatives of Dante's Inferno as brick-bats to thrust down the craw of the public mind to help masticate some of the illy digested figments of Utopia and Messiahs which ever return to haunt the folk that have too little sand in their Intellectual gizzards. You tell 'em. Being on the spot as you remember, this column is muttering in its heard trying desperately at the last moment to coin a slogan that will save the world for democracy. However, since "Point of View" is much too immersed in water much too deep to have time to aspire for political office this fall, we shall try to be terse. Having dwelt on the third dimen~- sion of human nature, the political idealism of the Football-cast and the PWA scrubs, and this man Ka-gawa, we should like to take a slant at Co-operation. The Bellingham Egg Co-op just makes it tough for the widow with the hen house on the shores of Lake Carnegie. Her Rhode Island Reds hardly have room to cluck on the open market. Good in Bellingham? Yes. Partly a good thing. In Denmark the country villages can paint their roof-trees with the money their producers' co-ops have paid them. Japan, with the help of Kakawa's hundred popular books on co-operatives, which attach themselves to the public mind much as did Tolstoy's, whom he studied. Such as "Grains of Wheat". They have consumer stores. Each member buying his food, or his $1.85 work suit having one vote. Not so in an American corporation for here, where the controlling money lies, so does the vote. Each member there, has a speaking part, but getting back at the end of the month a proportion of what amount he buys. Do you recognize the Grange gas and oil setup? of American democracy. Why not fill the gap of bankruptcy and lack of purchasing power with co-operative stores, and so give the "Civil Liberties League" a break politically? There are very strange bedfellows in this election. —Selected Musing You have probably heard about the consumer of tooth paste who thought the manufacturers put too much moisture in dentifrices. To prove his idea he went into manufacturing and really did produce a tooth paste without any excess moisture in it. But a pair of plyers was needed to get the paste out. We don't know if he is, as yet, convinced that manufacturers of dentifrices make tooth paste moist for a better reason than deception. But we of the teaching profession believe that we had better instill a little more humor into our intellectual students so that future generations can make use of them without getting a sledge hammer to uncover the prodigy's mind. Book Shelf POETRY OF TODAY, by Rosa M. R. Mikels and Grace Shoup; Charles Scribner's Sons. Reviewed by Glen O. Greseth. This is the ariswer to the desire of thousands of poetry lovers to have a pocket-sized anthology of contemporary verse. The selections in "Poetry of Today" are admirably chosen to bring out the adventuring spirit of modern poetry. There are poems'about "excavations, cabbages, tea, skyscrapers, automobiles, and Saturday-night crowds in large cities, blossoms; rivers, sunsets, mountains, and sea-themes that have always appealed to poets; and the age-old problem of love and life." There are poems for all the moods of a sentimentalist on a fishing trip. If he sits buried in retrospection, he will find expression in "Birches" by Robert Frost or the light-hearted reminiscences expressed in "Little Boy Blue" by Eugene Field. If he seeks expression for the beauty of nature let him read "May is Building her House" by Richard Le Gal-lienne or ---------- Northwest Viking - 1936 July 10 - Page 3 ---------- WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM. WASHINGTON Racqueteers To Play Off Games Bodminton and Archery Players Support Favorite Sports Enthusiastically "The tennis tournament schedule has been posted, stated to Miss Luell Weed of the Women's Physical Education department. "The second round matches to be played Monday are between Dohalda Grant and Inez Sjognen; Mary Morrow and May Dillon. One first round match has yet to be played off to determine the other players in the second round". Looking It Over Those eight lanky University of Washington oarsmen and their skipper, Bob Moch, deserve all the credit and publicity they are receiving. It is perhaps the finest crew Washington has ever produced; certainly their cox appears to be the best little admiral. And that's saying a lot, for Washington's crews are known wherever college oars sweep the water. We'll be wishing them all the breaks, and we'll be keeping our fingers crossed for them while they are in Berlin. Archery Popular The enthusiasm expressed by the large number signing up for Archery, Thursday, at 4:00 o'cock has pleased Miss Ruth Weythman of the Physical Education department. Badminton Added Of the Wednesday afternoon sports at 4:00, Miss Weed related, *There was a small but enthusiastic group out for volley ball. No one turned out for baseball. However", Miss Weed continued, "another sport, badminton, was played upon the demand of a group." All bad-} minton enthusiasts are welcome it they furnisft their own birds. They can be bought at the Co-op". According to Miss Weythman of the same department badminton as a sport has increased in popularity at a tremendous rate in the last eight years. Eight years ago there were no teams, at the Normal but now there is a class devoted to teaching the rules and techniques of the game. One of those voices that you heard over CBS last Sunday afternoon had more than a passing interest in the outcome of the crew race. It was none other than Royal Brougham, sports editor for the Seattle PI, making a national name for himself as a radio announcer for the Columbia system. After all, (what is more fitting than that a | sports writer from our own state should announce the victory of a Washington crew? They say that when Washington began to put on the power they gained the space of a man with each stroke of the oars. Your sports editor does not want anyone to fail in his studies, yet he cannot help noting an observed human phenomenon. The day is Wednesday, the time 4:30 in the afternoon, the sky is clear, the weather is not too hot. A much used room in the library is filled to overflowing with Normal school students reading books and taking down notes. Yet near that library are playing fields where softball, volleyball, tennis, and numerous other sports could be enjoy
