Our own Bernard Sullivan was interviewing her as he thought regal articles would go over bigger in "tapping the line with Sully" than Y. W. C. A. notices. "You know, Sully," coughed Her Majesty, as Sully firmly but politely refused the cigaret of a St. Louis firm which she had pressed on him, "It's a toss-up whether to lunch at the Chuckanut Manor or at the Normal Cafeteria, while passing through your rich country, abounding in resources, its delightful climate." A child could tell you that the Chamber of Commerce had peddled a lot of bulletins even into Rumania. Deftly the queen removed a diamond studded tiara, and scratched her head.' With that trained and alert mind that Sully continually carries with him, he .could tell that she was thinking. Man of action that he is, Sully did nothing. "My daughter, Ileana—or something like that, is still, well, very young—^and unmarried." Here she gave a knowing wink at iSully. "I've decided when II—II..." "Ileana," whispered Sully. "Thank you, my young friend. When she is an old lady like me," and the queen waved Sully aside as he was- about to protest, "I have decided that Ileana shall go'to. Belling-: Jham and help dedicate the breaking of the ground f»r your library." Sully, as you might imagine, had been weeping softly, but was braced' up by this cheerful optimism of this Rotarian, Kiwanian, Board :,?% Control like queen. , "Just tell your people that I love; 'them all—yes even Sam Carver and ITtAickmich." - •':::---A"-:"^ '••%--:- TO MEET ELLEI TOMORROW IN CRUCIAL GAME OF YEAR Coach Carver's Men Go Through Strenuous Training Preparing for Contest in Eastern Washington Town, Clash Doped as One of the Season's Hardest, with Sandberg's Men Slight Favorites. Coach Sam Carver's Viking grid-ders have been going through some stiff workouts this week, in preparation for what will probably be the most crucial encounter of the season. The Bellingham-Ellensburg game, scheduled to be played in the eastern city's arena at 2:30 tomorrow afternoon, will without a doubt put both teams to their utmost. Ellensburg, on its record this year, appears strong. The Tri-Normal title is at stake in tomorrow's battle, consequently a win for the Bellingham team will mean much. Coach Boy Sandberg's Eastern Washington team holds victories over two strong squads in the junior conference, namely, the U. of I. Frosh and the U. of W. Frosh. For the first time in many years, Ellensburg is conceded a good chance of defeating both of its Normal rivals—Bellingham and Cheney. Ellensburg Powerful. Ellensburg holds a 6-0 verdict over the U. of W. Frosh, while Normal played a 0-0 tie with them. All indications point to a close and exciting contest. Coaches Carver and Keeney have been drilling the squad all week in preparation for this important game. Many combinations have been worked on. In the last two turnouts only one-half the men that started the initial game of the season have been practicing on the first squad. Both the line and backfield have seen radical changes in their personnel. At center, Don Stickney and Eddie Hyde are having a stirring battle for the position. On Wednesday Blizzard and Baxter were at the guard posts, neither of whom saw service in the opening contest. Blizzard, after a slow start, has been improving rapidly. Shelton and Chris-man seem to have the. tackle positions well in hand. Thorsen and Drake are doped to start at the end positions tomorrow. With Edmundson and Brown in reserve, four strong wing men will be on hand. (Continued on Page Three) Former Normal Football Star Is Accidently Killed RICHARD BRULAND, Former Normal Football Star Richard Bruland, formerly a student at the Bellingham Normal, was electrocuted at Ellensburg at 10 o'clock, Sunday morning, while working at a hydro-electric plant in that city. Bruland was well known throughout the state of Washington, through his. wonderful ability as a football player. He played quarterback on the Normal eleven in 1923 and 1924. He was by .far the best general that ever donned a Viking football suit. During his attendance at the Normal, Bruland made many friends. He was,1 well .liked by those with whom he came in contact. .'The students ;.,: of the Normal school join with Brulahd's relative^ and.; hosts of friends in an acknowr; ledged bereavement and expression of .heartfelt': sympathy for his deatH.\ fudge Ben Lindsey Gives Interesting Tall to Students "In the school the teacher molds the life' of the child as does the potter his clay, according to his artistic ideals,' was the substance of Judge Ben Lindsey's address to the students in the auditorium on Wednesday morning. In commenting on his interview with Edison, the genius inventor, Linndsey quotes, "I would like to be a teacher, because to me there is nothing more inspiring to deal with than a machine of flesh and blood. To deal with life is the highest ideal a man can realize. In learning we must combine the faculties of the eye with the faculties of the ear. Terrific explanation of child psychology is necessary to understand child behavior. In a way, and just in a way, is there a comparison between the machine and the child. This comparison is not without some worth however. There is intelligence even in matter, in steel. The future of the world might be shaped by the way children are brought up. A boy of fourteen contributed more to the radio than any other person. The five to fifteen year old kids of today will be the new Columbuses." In the course of his lecture Judge Lindsey mentioned Marconi and Bur-bank. He gave their views of modern education and the child. Judge Lindsey gave several concrete examples to conclusively prove how the attitude of the state toward juvenile criminals has changed from one of violence and force , to one of tact, skill, knowledge based on bioligical, psychological and physiological facts, and patienct, which involves infinite time. The conclusions concerning child psychology and juvenile criminals held by the Denver Judge have been acquired through actual experience rather than through reading. FACULTY MEMBERS AT W.E. A. MEETING Miss Rich Speaks on "Professional Aspects of Teacher Placement," Thursday Afternoon. The Washington Education Association, which is meeting in Seattle yesterday and today, is attended by many of the Normal faculty. The training school is closed for these two days. The Normal teachers will have a special luncheon Friday noon. Miss Mary Rich spoke on Thursday afternoon on the topic "Professional Aspects of Teacher Placement," before the Department of Classroom Teach-errs of the National Education Association of the United States, at Broadway High. - Also on Thursday and Friday noons, there was a luncheon by the National Association of Women in Adminstration, which brought women with common problems together. ; The faculty members who attended were: ..

S E R P E N T I N E BONFIRE Luncheon Will Be Served at Edens Hall and Cafeteria, Following Registration. Plans are 'rapidly assuming definite form for the third annual Homecoming on Saturday, Nov. 6. A bonfire, serpentine, banquet, big mixer, and thrilling football game are awaiting the participation of all the students, faculty and alumni. Serpentine. On Friday evening, November 5, the prologue of the annual event will take place in the form of a serpentine and bonfire. The serpentine will assemble in front of Edens Hall at 6:30 sharp. The course of the serpentine will be down High street to Holly, and thence into the business district, where a few yells will be given. The serpentine will return to a huge bonfire on the hill, where a mock trial, put on by the Thespians; speeches by President Fisher, Mr. Kibbe, Coaches Carver and Keeney, will pep up the B. S. N. S., so that the Viking spirit will be overflowing when the opening scene of the Homecoming takes place on Saturday morning. Registration and Luncheon at 10. Beginning at 10 a. m., the registration and reception of old grads will take place. Following this, will be the luncheon at Edens Hall and the Cafeteria. Plans have been so perfected that entertainment will be going on at both dining places at the same time. The clubs are furnishing the programs, so everyone will be assured of getting good entertainment, says Katherine Leach, chairman of program committee. Football Game. When the clock strikes two-thirty, what a crowd of Viking rooters will be in the grandstand on Waldo Field! Why ? Because that is when the biggest event of the day comes off; Nomral is playing Cheney in the annual home coming tussle.

You have been reading articles in the Messenger regarding the contest. Hand in that essay, short story, poem, drama or whatever form of literature it may be. You have as good a chance to win as die next fellow. Loosen up. Pilot some of that excess energy into your aesthetic channels and produce the prize winner. Ruth Sturman is acting assistant editor of the Messenger for this issue. BEAT ELLENSBURG!! Last Saturday you held the battering Freshmen to a scoreless tie. The game was yours several times but fate played her role. Once you missed a drop-kick. Another time you were one yard from the line. A third time you had opportunity to score but again fate interposed. You outplayed the Yearlings in every department of the game. Ellensburg bieat the Frosh by a lucky run in the last thirty seconds of play. The battle tomorrow is not going to be a snap." Not by any means will it be a walkaway. Ellensburg has the best team it has had in years. If you go at the Ellensburg gang as you started out after the Frosh, tomorrow's game promises to be a real mix up. THIS IS A JOKE. One questionnaire of last week entreated the Messenger to include a joke column. The temptation was great, and we almost fell. There's a hot cut in the office with the inscription "JOKES," which has lain dormant these many Fridays. If such a course were pursued, all the reporters would have to do would be to copy a half dozen bits from the "Literary Digest" and an equal portion from "Life" Why not make your own choice? Such departments of a paper smack too much of high school stuff. If some of the students were to read the U . of W . Daily or some other standard college publication, they'd think that another Library Methods course was being doped out to them. "We wonder why that nice Dodge coupe comes every night to Mabel's house" or "Why is Fred spending such late hours at the library now?" afford mirth but to a very few students. The whole assembly would hardly laugh its head off at such outbursts. Student Opinion A Challenge Answered. I would leave it to another department of this school paper to knock off chips, as a rule, but. when a 'disgruntled V. A. V. flings out the challenge to any Philo to uphold the name of the Normal's choicest and most forward society, a finger of explanation must be raised. Heaven be thanked that every Philo "aspirant" did not lift his voice in song. If such were the case, 99 44-100% of HS would get out, and the ruin of the club would be a consummation devoutly wished. (Hamlet's helping us, V. A. V.) But, dear V. A. V., to business let's proceed. From a delightful little book, in the possession of which a few rejoice, I mark these following words, to-wit: 'The aim of the Philomathean Literary Society is to improve its members jn literary, musical, and social attainments. In the club meetings held every two weeks, the literary side of the. program is emphasized." Now, really, V. A. V., it'd be the height of the, ridiculous to announce, bi-weekly, by gplly, "The PhilomatH-ean Literary, Musical, Social, Debate and Parliamentary Drill Society will hold its regular meeting next Thurs- : ^ e y e n i n | / ' 'Why, it,would take ^;t^,njeinber8,, what; with pur below ;':«eajievei I.

Let's wait until the final letter is scanned, and the judges have made their grand decisions; then we'll see V. A. V., if there is any good which can come out of this Nazareth. - Philo (Preferred Stock) Three o'clock! The big bus waiting. Our team, dressed in their best, ready to leave for Seattle, where the first game away from home was to be played. Were we back 'of them? Did we send them off with cheers ? Cheers which they could carry with them all through the next day's fight? Did we show that we were with them and for them, win or.lose? We did not! We failed to do our part. That'big bus pulled out with its load of fighters, without a cheer. A mere handful of the faithful stood by to wave them off. Put yourselves . in their • places. Wouldn't you just feel like fighting your hardest for your school if you knew that every member of the student body and faculty cared enough about you and the game to come out "and give you a; send-off ? ^ There's not a person in this world .who doesn't; do better work if •' he knows its being appreciated. ; Are we going-'ioi let- such a thing happen again, fpiks? ; I By V A few days ago we read a notice in the library. In substance it prohibited conversation, or visiting durT ing the~ev.enings in the library. Logical en0ugh| ^ u t there is;' another side: to it. .-By no-means could it; stop nor prevent two hearts from exchanging sentiments. Fortunately there are small pieces of paper by the card index, and the magazine index. Two hearts can understand each other thereby upon snatching one of these handy things and scribble a line'or two. Necessity leads to discovery. ' * * * * A class in history was once discussing on the subject of Art and the Aesthetic Sense. ..The topic on rythm "wfcs brought up... And many examples were mentioned. .."How about the baby's cry," asked a pupil. "Well, there's rhythm in it," retorted the teacher. This is perhaps sufficient to account for the prominence of divorces in couples without children. Human nature demands satisfaction of the aesthetic impulse. * # * * The other day the Men's Club met and decided to organize, and in fact they did begin to organize a fire squad for emergency purposes in the school. ..No understanding., more commendable than this could possibly be conceived of for the Normal men. Nor here comes a challenge: What would the Women's League do to balance this splendid idea? * * * * The traditional Homecoming event is looming up with bright hopes and rosy expectations. Figuratively, there is no stone left unturned to make this year's Homecoming the best ever recorded in the annals of the "Normal-By-The-Sea." The warmth of loyalty and sincerity of devotion to dear Alma Mater will be felt in the camus once more when the grads of this institution will set foot once again on the self-same corridors and campus paths they had daily trod ni the days that .were, not so very long ago. Familiar names, and faint images of familiar faces. The present student body will gladly welcome those who have made the history of this institution; and the grads will come with a sense of a renewed pledge of loyalty and service to their Alma Mater. * * * * What constitutes success? The men's class in social ethics digested this question the other day and bom-barede it with all sorts of answers. Common opinion among" the men harped on the familiar tune of "service" to humanity. Anyway, there's always a big whale of difference between opinion and practice. "Flowers my bloom on burning volcanoes.' * * * * It seems, however, that there are three major considerations in weighing the question of success. ..First, the attainment of an ambition, an ideal, a goai; second accomplishment of achievement along one's chosen career; third, the quality of service one renders to humanity in general as an outcome of one's training in a specialized line. To hear Judge Ben Lindsey speak last Wednesday morning was a rare privilege. His oratorical eloquence, occasioned sense of humor, and above all the importance and weight of his speech in relation to teaching and present-day condition of society, have undoubtedly left an indelible imprint upon all who heard him. • # • * Judge Lindsey's lecture has filled a wide gap and satisfied to some extent at ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1926 October 29 - Page 3 ---------- s ^ 1:;IS.;STROM2 BHHPniiHiniiinmmiiuiiniiami i l x k^ u Hitting the Liiie WITH SULLY Wkere i8 the spirit of this school? How caii a winning team be expected when the student body does not support them? Last Friday, the team left for Seattle and there was but four people to see them off. Where were the Yell Leaders and the rest of the students? The team needs your backing, so try .and be out next time. The Vikings, although held to a scoreless tie with the University Yearlings, vow vengeance on Ellens-burg, so a. sad afternoon is in store for Sandberg's pets. Coach "Sam" Carver has been "pointing" for this -game, and as this is the first hurdle to regain the Normal School Championship, the team will give it's all. Evennje who went to Seattle last week-end was treated to two wonderful football games.. First, the University Freshmen held the Normal to a tie, while the University of Washington-Washington State College game was a thriller from start to finish. The Cougars won 9 to 6, when "Butch" Meeker scored a touchdown on a perfectly executed reverse play in the last minutes of the game. The Viking squad lost one of its valuable reserves, when "Three Gun" Benson had his shoulder injured, thus putting him out for the season... Benson has been out every night, always fighting and taking many hard knocks, which it is up to the second stringer to give, without hope of reward. He will be missed by the squad. California Teams Are Eliminating Tie Grid Contests Southern California' interscholastic grid teams have devised a way to eliminate tie games. The teams are given a two-minute rest after the final whistle. Then the ball is put in play at midfield, the captains tossing a coin to see who has possession of the ball. Ten downs are played, each team alternating at carrying the ball on every play. The team which makes the most yardage or which advances the ball in its opponent's territory wins.' The success of the plan is being watched closely by football men interested in finding a solution for tie games. VIKINGS TO MEET ELLENSBURG MEN (Continued from Page One) Backfield Is Shifted. After many shifts, a backfield combination that is sure to start the game is still lacking. The most probable combination seems to be Odell, Stickney, Hawkings, and Seymour. Of these, Seymour is the only one playing in the position started in the St. Martin's contest. Ray Odell has been shifted to the quarter post. Estill, who handled the team last week, may start the battle and is a sure bet to get in the fray some stage of the game. Stickney, a regular from last year; has been practicing in one halfback position. / Hawkings Halfback Hawkings,. the greatest surprise of the last two games, is slated to start in the other halfback position. Coach Carver, is taking the follow-' ing men on the trip to Eiiensburg: E.;Hyd^ ^ Stiekneyy Hinds, Beignle, Iyjerson, Blizzard, Baxter,.; .Shelton, Drake, Edmundson, Brown, Odeil, Estill, Sfifcickii y, Clarke, Hawkings, Seymour, and Hansen. WM$M$mBM^ M Women's Sports Continue Popular Among Students Swimming tests have recently been given to both beginner's and advanced classes. Those successfully passing the beginner's test were Dor-othey Busick, Annie Nelson, Sarah Collins, Allegra Jones, Elsie Cummins, Borgheld Jensen, Margaret Ma-goon, Margaret McKay and Jean Woll. Those who have passed the Red Cross Swimmer's Test are: Phyllis Crabill, Eileen Galloway, Madeline Bosshard, and Carrie Hamilton. If enough girls are interested, a" recreation period will be held at the Y. WL C. A. every Friday from 4 to 5 oclock, beginning next week. The rfee will be the nominal one of ten cents. Names must be on the Athletic Bulletin board before Friday noon. Jean Woll can be seen for further particulars. Hockey, soccer and volley ball turnouts continue to run high, and the classes are fast developing the technique of the games. The teams will be chosen soon. A great amount of equipment is being added, including six new soccer balls. Both hockey and soccer goal posts have been put up, the field has been leveled and the grass cut. To relieve the increasing, call for adhesive tape, it being feared that the manufacturers would be unable to supply the demand, hockey shin guards have been ordered and will probably be here for the next practice. A number of girls went horseback riding last Saturday morning instead of Friday afternoon. This week the horses will be brought to the school on Friday. Already a number have signed up, but there are enough horses for all who desire to go. If enough girls are interested in horseback riding for Saturday mornings arrangements will be made for this as well as for Friday afternoons. Q.A.G.-U.S.G.

Both Teams Miss in Field Goal Attempts. VIKING LINE STRONGER Odell, Seymour, Carry Brunt of Normal Attack. Thorspn and Stickney in Fine Form. Although forcing the play practically the whole game, the Vikings were Hnable to score against the University Freshmen last Saturday and the two teams battled to a scoreless tie. The Frosh defense built around the towering "Pat" Jessup, former Whatcom High star tightened in the pinches and averted an oft threatened Viking score. The Normal line, heretofore of uncertain strength successfully withstood all Frosh attacks and apparently had little trouble in opening holes judging by the yardage the backs were able to make. A weakness was shown in returning the punts, the Frosh ends getting down on Odell on nearly every kick. The Viking backs showed a greater ground gaining ability than did the Frosh. Odell and Seymour being the heaviest ground gainers. "Russ" Seymour's 190 pounds carrying two and three Frosh tacklers with him. Several times the big fellow ripped through for 20 yard gallops. Ray Odell proved the best open field runned of the day, getting away for long gainB several times. Lyman Stickney netted good yardage on off end runs. Vikings Threaten Early The Vikings made the initial kick-off and soon gained possession of the ball in Frosh territory. They advanced within the yearlings 15 yard line but could not send the ball over. A place kick was attempted later but failed. The Vikings had forced the play through the first quarter and continued on the offense the rest of the half. They started a hard drive toward the Frosh goal and came within 11 yards, the final line where a grounded pass stopped the attempt. The Frosh were on the defense until the last quarter when the Vikings weakened. A drop kick missed the bar just a few feet and just before the game ended the Frosh completed a 25 yard pass into Viking territory Aside from the last_iew minutes of the game the Vikings held the advantage and had two exellent chances to score. The game was called at 12 noon as a preliminary to the Univeri sity-State College game in the afternoon. The Vikings lined up „with Drake and Thorson ends, Wanamaker and Shelton tackles, Hinds and Baxter guards, Stickney center, Odell, Stickney, Seymour, and Estill in the back-field. Substitutions were Hawkings for Estill, Edmundson for Drake, Bieghle for Hinds, Drake for Edmundson, Christman for Wanamaker, Stickney for Hyde. S. K. SCHELDRUP, D. C, Ph.

The crucial game of the season and the first of the year with a rival Normal School comes on Saturday, in the city across the mountains. Ellensburg for the first time in many years is rated as a strong squad and is the favorite" for the ,Tri;Normal title, holding victories over the Idaho Frosh, Washington Frosh, and Whit-worth College. Idaho succumbed 7-0, and the U. of W. team 6-0. Both of these wins were over strong teams and in the nature of upsets, so a hard game is on hand for the Vikings. * • • * Carver's boys played a nice game against the Frosh and semed to deserve better than the 0-0 verdict received.

Freshmen. have been very unsuccessful against Bellingham in the last four years, taking only one victory in that time, in 1924... At that, the 1924 team was composed of Louis Tesreau and many men who now are leading varsity players, so a defeat at the hands of these men was no disgrace. • • # • .

The stage left promptly at six o'clock, carrying ..twenty half-awake enthusiastic hikers to Glacier. When the stage stopped all tumbled out eager to begin the long hike up Skyline. With Mr. 'Berg as a leader, all fell in "line and the climb began. The first halt was made near the top, for lunch. After resting, the hike was continued and the top was reached at 2 o'clock. Due to. the favorable weather conditions, -the surrounding country was indeed very remarkable. Mt. Baker, Mt. Shuksan and the Canadian mountains were seen clearly. " The trail was free from snow, but small patches were found on the trail. The hikers returned to Glacier in time for supper and were ready to leave for home by 6:30. The members of the faculty who made the hike are: Miss Skalley, Miss Keeler, Miss Weythman, Miss Cummnis, Miss George, Miss McPher-gon, Miss Dixon, and Mr. Berg. The students who went are: Jean Wall, Phyllis Paul, Blanche Hamilton, Vert a Larson, Mildred Buskett, Francis Christinsen, Elizabeth Scott, Edna Runden, Ardis Van Allen, Claire Christensen, Elizabeth Krell, and Lois iKing. o Thespians Have Fun An interesting feature of the Thespian meeting Wednesday evening, was the reading by Edward Jansen of sketches from the play "Dear Brutus."

WOMEN'S LEAGUE HAVE INTERESTING ASSEMBLY FRIDAY An interesting feature of the Women's League assembly last Friday was the manner in which the members of the league council showed to its audience the work of various committee's. Two of the most original stunts were presented by the fellowship and social committees, of which Irene Shagel and Estelle Martinsen are chairmen. The fellowship committee depicted a railway station with a lonely little Freshman arriving, there being met by members of that committee and being brought to the Normal school. The social committee put on a small tea, bringing to the girls the idea of their work in putting on teas, and all social functions that the league sponsors. Ignorance Is Bliss.

Our own Bernard Sullivan was interviewing her as he thought regal articles would go over bigger in "tapping the line with Sully" than Y. W. C. A. notices. "You know, Sully," coughed Her Majesty, as Sully firmly but politely refused the cigaret of a St. Louis firm which she had pressed on him, "It's a toss-up whether to lunch at the Chuckanut Manor or at the Normal Cafeteria, while passing through your rich country, abounding in resources, its delightful climate." A child could tell you that the Chamber of Commerce had peddled a lot of bulletins even into Rumania. Deftly the queen removed a diamond studded tiara, and scratched her head.' With that trained and alert mind that Sully continually carries with him, he .could tell that she was thinking. Man of action that he is, Sully did nothing. "My daughter, Ileana—or something like that, is still, well, very young—^and unmarried." Here she gave a knowing wink at iSully. "I've decided when II—II..." "Ileana," whispered Sully. "Thank you, my young friend. When she is an old lady like me," and the queen waved Sully aside as he was- about to protest, "I have decided that Ileana shall go'to. Belling-: Jham and help dedicate the breaking of the ground f»r your library." Sully, as you might imagine, had been weeping softly, but was braced' up by this cheerful optimism of this Rotarian, Kiwanian, Board :,?% Control like queen. , "Just tell your people that I love; 'them all—yes even Sam Carver and ITtAickmich." - •':::---A"-:"^ '••%--:- TO MEET ELLEI TOMORROW IN CRUCIAL GAME OF YEAR Coach Carver's Men Go Through Strenuous Training Preparing for Contest in Eastern Washington Town, Clash Doped as One of the Season's Hardest, with Sandberg's Men Slight Favorites. Coach Sam Carver's Viking grid-ders have been going through some stiff workouts this week, in preparation for what will probably be the most crucial encounter of the season. The Bellingham-Ellensburg game, scheduled to be played in the eastern city's arena at 2:30 tomorrow afternoon, will without a doubt put both teams to their utmost. Ellensburg, on its record this year, appears strong. The Tri-Normal title is at stake in tomorrow's battle, consequently a win for the Bellingham team will mean much. Coach Boy Sandberg's Eastern Washington team holds victories over two strong squads in the junior conference, namely, the U. of I. Frosh and the U. of W. Frosh. For the first time in many years, Ellensburg is conceded a good chance of defeating both of its Normal rivals—Bellingham and Cheney. Ellensburg Powerful. Ellensburg holds a 6-0 verdict over the U. of W. Frosh, while Normal played a 0-0 tie with them. All indications point to a close and exciting contest. Coaches Carver and Keeney have been drilling the squad all week in preparation for this important game. Many combinations have been worked on. In the last two turnouts only one-half the men that started the initial game of the season have been practicing on the first squad. Both the line and backfield have seen radical changes in their personnel. At center, Don Stickney and Eddie Hyde are having a stirring battle for the position. On Wednesday Blizzard and Baxter were at the guard posts, neither of whom saw service in the opening contest. Blizzard, after a slow start, has been improving rapidly. Shelton and Chris-man seem to have the. tackle positions well in hand. Thorsen and Drake are doped to start at the end positions tomorrow. With Edmundson and Brown in reserve, four strong wing men will be on hand. (Continued on Page Three) Former Normal Football Star Is Accidently Killed RICHARD BRULAND, Former Normal Football Star Richard Bruland, formerly a student at the Bellingham Normal, was electrocuted at Ellensburg at 10 o'clock, Sunday morning, while working at a hydro-electric plant in that city. Bruland was well known throughout the state of Washington, through his. wonderful ability as a football player. He played quarterback on the Normal eleven in 1923 and 1924. He was by .far the best general that ever donned a Viking football suit. During his attendance at the Normal, Bruland made many friends. He was,1 well .liked by those with whom he came in contact. .'The students ;.,: of the Normal school join with Brulahd's relative^ and.; hosts of friends in an acknowr; ledged bereavement and expression of .heartfelt': sympathy for his deatH.\ fudge Ben Lindsey Gives Interesting Tall to Students "In the school the teacher molds the life' of the child as does the potter his clay, according to his artistic ideals,' was the substance of Judge Ben Lindsey's address to the students in the auditorium on Wednesday morning. In commenting on his interview with Edison, the genius inventor, Linndsey quotes, "I would like to be a teacher, because to me there is nothing more inspiring to deal with than a machine of flesh and blood. To deal with life is the highest ideal a man can realize. In learning we must combine the faculties of the eye with the faculties of the ear. Terrific explanation of child psychology is necessary to understand child behavior. In a way, and just in a way, is there a comparison between the machine and the child. This comparison is not without some worth however. There is intelligence even in matter, in steel. The future of the world might be shaped by the way children are brought up. A boy of fourteen contributed more to the radio than any other person. The five to fifteen year old kids of today will be the new Columbuses." In the course of his lecture Judge Lindsey mentioned Marconi and Bur-bank. He gave their views of modern education and the child. Judge Lindsey gave several concrete examples to conclusively prove how the attitude of the state toward juvenile criminals has changed from one of violence and force , to one of tact, skill, knowledge based on bioligical, psychological and physiological facts, and patienct, which involves infinite time. The conclusions concerning child psychology and juvenile criminals held by the Denver Judge have been acquired through actual experience rather than through reading. FACULTY MEMBERS AT W.E. A. MEETING Miss Rich Speaks on "Professional Aspects of Teacher Placement," Thursday Afternoon. The Washington Education Association, which is meeting in Seattle yesterday and today, is attended by many of the Normal faculty. The training school is closed for these two days. The Normal teachers will have a special luncheon Friday noon. Miss Mary Rich spoke on Thursday afternoon on the topic "Professional Aspects of Teacher Placement," before the Department of Classroom Teach-errs of the National Education Association of the United States, at Broadway High. - Also on Thursday and Friday noons, there was a luncheon by the National Association of Women in Adminstration, which brought women with common problems together. ; The faculty members who attended were: .. Misses Fannie Ragland, Mary Rich, Nora Cummins, Bertha Crawford, Winnie Spieseke,: Eleanor Osborn, Anna Beiswenger, Marjorie Dawson, Augusta Pragst, Orpha Mc- Pherson, Blanche Wold, Pearl Mer-riman, Anna Peterson, Priscilla Kinsman, M.

CLASH TO F E M E Numerous Returning Grads to Renew Past Friendships at the ' Mixer, Saturday Evening. S E R P E N T I N E BONFIRE Luncheon Will Be Served at Edens Hall and Cafeteria, Following Registration. Plans are 'rapidly assuming definite form for the third annual Homecoming on Saturday, Nov. 6. A bonfire, serpentine, banquet, big mixer, and thrilling football game are awaiting the participation of all the students, faculty and alumni. Serpentine. On Friday evening, November 5, the prologue of the annual event will take place in the form of a serpentine and bonfire. The serpentine will assemble in front of Edens Hall at 6:30 sharp. The course of the serpentine will be down High street to Holly, and thence into the business district, where a few yells will be given. The serpentine will return to a huge bonfire on the hill, where a mock trial, put on by the Thespians; speeches by President Fisher, Mr. Kibbe, Coaches Carver and Keeney, will pep up the B. S. N. S., so that the Viking spirit will be overflowing when the opening scene of the Homecoming takes place on Saturday morning. Registration and Luncheon at 10. Beginning at 10 a. m., the registration and reception of old grads will take place. Following this, will be the luncheon at Edens Hall and the Cafeteria. Plans have been so perfected that entertainment will be going on at both dining places at the same time. The clubs are furnishing the programs, so everyone will be assured of getting good entertainment, says Katherine Leach, chairman of program committee. Football Game. When the clock strikes two-thirty, what a crowd of Viking rooters will be in the grandstand on Waldo Field! Why ? Because that is when the biggest event of the day comes off; Nomral is playing Cheney in the annual home coming tussle.

You have been reading articles in the Messenger regarding the contest. Hand in that essay, short story, poem, drama or whatever form of literature it may be. You have as good a chance to win as die next fellow. Loosen up. Pilot some of that excess energy into your aesthetic channels and produce the prize winner. Ruth Sturman is acting assistant editor of the Messenger for this issue. BEAT ELLENSBURG!! Last Saturday you held the battering Freshmen to a scoreless tie. The game was yours several times but fate played her role. Once you missed a drop-kick. Another time you were one yard from the line. A third time you had opportunity to score but again fate interposed. You outplayed the Yearlings in every department of the game. Ellensburg bieat the Frosh by a lucky run in the last thirty seconds of play. The battle tomorrow is not going to be a snap." Not by any means will it be a walkaway. Ellensburg has the best team it has had in years. If you go at the Ellensburg gang as you started out after the Frosh, tomorrow's game promises to be a real mix up. THIS IS A JOKE. One questionnaire of last week entreated the Messenger to include a joke column. The temptation was great, and we almost fell. There's a hot cut in the office with the inscription "JOKES," which has lain dormant these many Fridays. If such a course were pursued, all the reporters would have to do would be to copy a half dozen bits from the "Literary Digest" and an equal portion from "Life" Why not make your own choice? Such departments of a paper smack too much of high school stuff. If some of the students were to read the U . of W . Daily or some other standard college publication, they'd think that another Library Methods course was being doped out to them. "We wonder why that nice Dodge coupe comes every night to Mabel's house" or "Why is Fred spending such late hours at the library now?" afford mirth but to a very few students. The whole assembly would hardly laugh its head off at such outbursts. Student Opinion A Challenge Answered. I would leave it to another department of this school paper to knock off chips, as a rule, but. when a 'disgruntled V. A. V. flings out the challenge to any Philo to uphold the name of the Normal's choicest and most forward society, a finger of explanation must be raised. Heaven be thanked that every Philo "aspirant" did not lift his voice in song. If such were the case, 99 44-100% of HS would get out, and the ruin of the club would be a consummation devoutly wished. (Hamlet's helping us, V. A. V.) But, dear V. A. V., to business let's proceed. From a delightful little book, in the possession of which a few rejoice, I mark these following words, to-wit: 'The aim of the Philomathean Literary Society is to improve its members jn literary, musical, and social attainments. In the club meetings held every two weeks, the literary side of the. program is emphasized." Now, really, V. A. V., it'd be the height of the, ridiculous to announce, bi-weekly, by gplly, "The PhilomatH-ean Literary, Musical, Social, Debate and Parliamentary Drill Society will hold its regular meeting next Thurs- : ^ e y e n i n | / ' 'Why, it,would take ^;t^,njeinber8,, what; with pur below ;':«eajievei I. Q's., about two quarterfl }:just to learn the name of our soci- gt;*ty; The Messenger would black-ball Will the Philos flicker in the Literary Contest? Let's wait until the final letter is scanned, and the judges have made their grand decisions; then we'll see V. A. V., if there is any good which can come out of this Nazareth. - Philo (Preferred Stock) Three o'clock! The big bus waiting. Our team, dressed in their best, ready to leave for Seattle, where the first game away from home was to be played. Were we back 'of them? Did we send them off with cheers ? Cheers which they could carry with them all through the next day's fight? Did we show that we were with them and for them, win or.lose? We did not! We failed to do our part. That'big bus pulled out with its load of fighters, without a cheer. A mere handful of the faithful stood by to wave them off. Put yourselves . in their • places. Wouldn't you just feel like fighting your hardest for your school if you knew that every member of the student body and faculty cared enough about you and the game to come out "and give you a; send-off ? ^ There's not a person in this world .who doesn't; do better work if •' he knows its being appreciated. ; Are we going-'ioi let- such a thing happen again, fpiks? ; I By V A few days ago we read a notice in the library. In substance it prohibited conversation, or visiting durT ing the~ev.enings in the library. Logical en0ugh| ^ u t there is;' another side: to it. .-By no-means could it; stop nor prevent two hearts from exchanging sentiments. Fortunately there are small pieces of paper by the card index, and the magazine index. Two hearts can understand each other thereby upon snatching one of these handy things and scribble a line'or two. Necessity leads to discovery. ' * * * * A class in history was once discussing on the subject of Art and the Aesthetic Sense. ..The topic on rythm "wfcs brought up... And many examples were mentioned. .."How about the baby's cry," asked a pupil. "Well, there's rhythm in it," retorted the teacher. This is perhaps sufficient to account for the prominence of divorces in couples without children. Human nature demands satisfaction of the aesthetic impulse. * # * * The other day the Men's Club met and decided to organize, and in fact they did begin to organize a fire squad for emergency purposes in the school. ..No understanding., more commendable than this could possibly be conceived of for the Normal men. Nor here comes a challenge: What would the Women's League do to balance this splendid idea? * * * * The traditional Homecoming event is looming up with bright hopes and rosy expectations. Figuratively, there is no stone left unturned to make this year's Homecoming the best ever recorded in the annals of the "Normal-By-The-Sea." The warmth of loyalty and sincerity of devotion to dear Alma Mater will be felt in the camus once more when the grads of this institution will set foot once again on the self-same corridors and campus paths they had daily trod ni the days that .were, not so very long ago. Familiar names, and faint images of familiar faces. The present student body will gladly welcome those who have made the history of this institution; and the grads will come with a sense of a renewed pledge of loyalty and service to their Alma Mater. * * * * What constitutes success? The men's class in social ethics digested this question the other day and bom-barede it with all sorts of answers. Common opinion among" the men harped on the familiar tune of "service" to humanity. Anyway, there's always a big whale of difference between opinion and practice. "Flowers my bloom on burning volcanoes.' * * * * It seems, however, that there are three major considerations in weighing the question of success. ..First, the attainment of an ambition, an ideal, a goai; second accomplishment of achievement along one's chosen career; third, the quality of service one renders to humanity in general as an outcome of one's training in a specialized line. To hear Judge Ben Lindsey speak last Wednesday morning was a rare privilege. His oratorical eloquence, occasioned sense of humor, and above all the importance and weight of his speech in relation to teaching and present-day condition of society, have undoubtedly left an indelible imprint upon all who heard him. • # • * Judge Lindsey's lecture has filled a wide gap and satisfied to some extent at ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1926 October 29 - Page 3 ---------- s ^ 1:;IS.;STROM2 BHHPniiHiniiinmmiiuiiniiami i l x k^ u Hitting the Liiie WITH SULLY Wkere i8 the spirit of this school? How caii a winning team be expected when the student body does not support them? Last Friday, the team left for Seattle and there was but four people to see them off. Where were the Yell Leaders and the rest of the students? The team needs your backing, so try .and be out next time. The Vikings, although held to a scoreless tie with the University Yearlings, vow vengeance on Ellens-burg, so a. sad afternoon is in store for Sandberg's pets. Coach "Sam" Carver has been "pointing" for this -game, and as this is the first hurdle to regain the Normal School Championship, the team will give it's all. Evennje who went to Seattle last week-end was treated to two wonderful football games.. First, the University Freshmen held the Normal to a tie, while the University of Washington-Washington State College game was a thriller from start to finish. The Cougars won 9 to 6, when "Butch" Meeker scored a touchdown on a perfectly executed reverse play in the last minutes of the game. The Viking squad lost one of its valuable reserves, when "Three Gun" Benson had his shoulder injured, thus putting him out for the season... Benson has been out every night, always fighting and taking many hard knocks, which it is up to the second stringer to give, without hope of reward. He will be missed by the squad. California Teams Are Eliminating Tie Grid Contests Southern California' interscholastic grid teams have devised a way to eliminate tie games. The teams are given a two-minute rest after the final whistle. Then the ball is put in play at midfield, the captains tossing a coin to see who has possession of the ball. Ten downs are played, each team alternating at carrying the ball on every play. The team which makes the most yardage or which advances the ball in its opponent's territory wins.' The success of the plan is being watched closely by football men interested in finding a solution for tie games. VIKINGS TO MEET ELLENSBURG MEN (Continued from Page One) Backfield Is Shifted. After many shifts, a backfield combination that is sure to start the game is still lacking. The most probable combination seems to be Odell, Stickney, Hawkings, and Seymour. Of these, Seymour is the only one playing in the position started in the St. Martin's contest. Ray Odell has been shifted to the quarter post. Estill, who handled the team last week, may start the battle and is a sure bet to get in the fray some stage of the game. Stickney, a regular from last year; has been practicing in one halfback position. / Hawkings Halfback Hawkings,. the greatest surprise of the last two games, is slated to start in the other halfback position. Coach Carver, is taking the follow-' ing men on the trip to Eiiensburg: E.;Hyd^ ^ Stiekneyy Hinds, Beignle, Iyjerson, Blizzard, Baxter,.; .Shelton, Drake, Edmundson, Brown, Odeil, Estill, Sfifcickii y, Clarke, Hawkings, Seymour, and Hansen. WM$M$mBM^ M Women's Sports Continue Popular Among Students Swimming tests have recently been given to both beginner's and advanced classes. Those successfully passing the beginner's test were Dor-othey Busick, Annie Nelson, Sarah Collins, Allegra Jones, Elsie Cummins, Borgheld Jensen, Margaret Ma-goon, Margaret McKay and Jean Woll. Those who have passed the Red Cross Swimmer's Test are: Phyllis Crabill, Eileen Galloway, Madeline Bosshard, and Carrie Hamilton. If enough girls are interested, a" recreation period will be held at the Y. WL C. A. every Friday from 4 to 5 oclock, beginning next week. The rfee will be the nominal one of ten cents. Names must be on the Athletic Bulletin board before Friday noon. Jean Woll can be seen for further particulars. Hockey, soccer and volley ball turnouts continue to run high, and the classes are fast developing the technique of the games. The teams will be chosen soon. A great amount of equipment is being added, including six new soccer balls. Both hockey and soccer goal posts have been put up, the field has been leveled and the grass cut. To relieve the increasing, call for adhesive tape, it being feared that the manufacturers would be unable to supply the demand, hockey shin guards have been ordered and will probably be here for the next practice. A number of girls went horseback riding last Saturday morning instead of Friday afternoon. This week the horses will be brought to the school on Friday. Already a number have signed up, but there are enough horses for all who desire to go. If enough girls are interested in horseback riding for Saturday mornings arrangements will be made for this as well as for Friday afternoons. Q.A.G.-U.S.G.

Both Teams Miss in Field Goal Attempts. VIKING LINE STRONGER Odell, Seymour, Carry Brunt of Normal Attack. Thorspn and Stickney in Fine Form. Although forcing the play practically the whole game, the Vikings were Hnable to score against the University Freshmen last Saturday and the two teams battled to a scoreless tie. The Frosh defense built around the towering "Pat" Jessup, former Whatcom High star tightened in the pinches and averted an oft threatened Viking score. The Normal line, heretofore of uncertain strength successfully withstood all Frosh attacks and apparently had little trouble in opening holes judging by the yardage the backs were able to make. A weakness was shown in returning the punts, the Frosh ends getting down on Odell on nearly every kick. The Viking backs showed a greater ground gaining ability than did the Frosh. Odell and Seymour being the heaviest ground gainers. "Russ" Seymour's 190 pounds carrying two and three Frosh tacklers with him. Several times the big fellow ripped through for 20 yard gallops. Ray Odell proved the best open field runned of the day, getting away for long gainB several times. Lyman Stickney netted good yardage on off end runs. Vikings Threaten Early The Vikings made the initial kick-off and soon gained possession of the ball in Frosh territory. They advanced within the yearlings 15 yard line but could not send the ball over. A place kick was attempted later but failed. The Vikings had forced the play through the first quarter and continued on the offense the rest of the half. They started a hard drive toward the Frosh goal and came within 11 yards, the final line where a grounded pass stopped the attempt. The Frosh were on the defense until the last quarter when the Vikings weakened. A drop kick missed the bar just a few feet and just before the game ended the Frosh completed a 25 yard pass into Viking territory Aside from the last_iew minutes of the game the Vikings held the advantage and had two exellent chances to score. The game was called at 12 noon as a preliminary to the Univeri sity-State College game in the afternoon. The Vikings lined up „with Drake and Thorson ends, Wanamaker and Shelton tackles, Hinds and Baxter guards, Stickney center, Odell, Stickney, Seymour, and Estill in the back-field. Substitutions were Hawkings for Estill, Edmundson for Drake, Bieghle for Hinds, Drake for Edmundson, Christman for Wanamaker, Stickney for Hyde. S. K. SCHELDRUP, D. C, Ph.

The crucial game of the season and the first of the year with a rival Normal School comes on Saturday, in the city across the mountains.

Mr. Hbppe is acting as director as well as playing a part. Knoll an Ideal Setting The knoll makes an admirable setting for an out-of-door play. One may easily imagine himself in the leafy for- . est of Arden. Seats for about four hundred have been provided and a large audience has been present each night. Special lighting features have been arranged which combine with the natural beauty of the scene making a picture long to be remembered. Given by All-Star Cast Every part is well taken. Many of the performers have taken part in other summer plays given by the Normal. Evelyn Hagen makes a very lovely Rosalind and Zeno Katterlee an admirable Orlando. Oliver Nelson as Le Beau drew much praise. Really no one actor can be said to be best for the whole thing is splendidly done. The costumes add. much to the play; they are typical of the Sixteenth Century. Songs and Dances on Program Combined with the play the physical education department presents two dances.

VAN VLIET RETURNS Master Player of Cello Renders Beautiful Program. The Board of Control held a business meeting at noon last Wednesday in the office of the student association. After routine business the meeting was devoted to a discussion of the school paper. It was decided to hold a joint meeting with the editorial council of the Messenger on Monday to discuss possible improvements. It was decided to hold a meeting at four o'clock Thursday to make plans for next year's Klipsun, whereby the mistakes of this year may be avoided. o — DR. HARRIES SPEAKS Those who attended the concert given by Cornelius Van Vliet, at the Normal Auditorium Monday evening, heard a master artist with the cello. Mr. Van Vliet is the solo cellist of the Philharmonic Orchestra of New York and has filled the same position in one of the best orchestras of Europe in Vienna. Beside being an artist, Mr. Van Vliet is a man of very pleasing personality and can keep his audience in the proper mood to appreciate .his music. Although a delay of a few minutes was occasioned by the failure of his accompanist to arrive, Mr. Van Vliet held his audience by playing a Bach suit for the cello alone. Following this he made explanatory remarks upon his program for the evening. Mr. Arville Belstad, accompanied Mr. Van Vliet, and though detained by car trouble, made up for the lateness by the beauty of his playing. His ability was demonstrated in the second group, the Decamer by Th. Gouvy. This group is really a duet for the cello and piano. At the close of this a recall was demanded and the last of the group was repeated. Several Encores Demanded Mr. Van Vliet ranks among the best cellists in the world. He demonstrated his ability both in handling the instrument and by the choice of selections. Insistent applause followed each number and he was forced to give several encores, one of which was the "Organ Grinders' Song." It was of a melancholy strain and very beautiful. He also played, by request, "Andal-usian Serenade", by K. Kalmpf. Those who heard Mr. Van Vliet in assembly July 14 will remember this as it gave the effect of guitar music. . Mr. Van Vliet explained that cello music is not as limited as is some times supposed. He also spoke of the Gouve group, composed in the Romantic period, of which he has,the only copy now in existence. He thinks that here in America we think too much of the musician and not enough of; the work which he is going , to present; in other words we should think first of what is on the program to be presented and trusts to the musician ;';^ gt;ender/ii;;;ciapably.i,:' . ..V. •:_';.;;'.•'.•',: How Are the Millions of Dollars to be Spent? Dr. Arthur Harries, who up until two years ago was pastor of one of the wealthiest churches of London, England, delivered an interesting address to the Normal students, July 30, in the Normal auditorium. The topic was: "India and Her Needs." Dr. Harries is a native of Wales, and he started his address by telling about his college chum, Watkin Roberts, who offered himself to the Mission Board for work in India, and upon being refused, determined to go anyway. "But howr can you go without the Board behind you?" he was asked. "There is God," was his confident reply. And so it seemed. After Mr. Roberts had been in India for some time, he felt the need of a printing press, and he asked the Lord to provide it. As he was walking about one day. he passed a building that was being demolished. Approaching this building, he saw an old printing press. He asked the foreman what he intended to do with the press. He was told that it would have to be carried away, and that two day's wage would be paid for removing it. At once Mr. Roberts called a man to help him and together they removed the objectionable printing press. So well pleased was the foreman with the dispatch with which this was done that he paid them four days' wages. On this press Mr. Roberts printed tracts in Hindustani and Bengali. The gospel of John was also printed and was distributed to all the chiefs of Assam. The response was gratifying. "Come." invited these chiefs,, "and tell us about the One of whom it speaks." On one occasion Mr. Roberts went into Bhutan in northeastern India. This land borders on Thibet, and on the borderland tribes of headhunters 'infested the hills. There the chiefs use the skulls of their victims to deeorate their huts, and of course the more skulls they can display the more important they. are. When making raids on their enemies, these head hunters are careful not to injure the women and girls, but kill only the male members of their victims, carrying the women and girls away into captivity. / Dr. Harries told of a Scotch tea planter who had established his plantation adjacent to these hills. One evening he heard the drums beating in the hills'; knowing that meant an attack he mounted his horse and hurried out to warn his people. Too late. The planter was, killed as were all native men and boys while the females on the plantation, including the planter's own nine-year- old adughter, were rushed away into the wilderness. InV due course news of this abduction reached the home government. England thought it worth while to pour out her treasure lavishly to .rescue this one On Tuesday, August 11, Emily Bently Dow, 15-year-old violinist of Seattle, will play at the assemblies. Her brother, James Dow, will accompany her at the piano. Miss Dow plays both the violin and piano. She will give numbers on both instruments. Mme. Engberg, formerly of Bellingham, is Miss Dow's instructor. She says: "Emily Dow has studied violin with me for the past four years. During this time her progress has been so rapid and the unfolding of her musical gifts so astonishing that I feel justified in placing her almost in the prodigy class. During a part of these,four years Emily lived •at my school thus enabling me to supervise her practice. Emily Dow is not alone well equipped technically but her musical insight has been developed hand in hand with the solving of mechanical problems and the acquiring of repertoire so that her playing today at the age of barely fourteen years possesses the maturity of an artist. Ensemble work and playing with orchestral accompaniment have contributed largely to the acquiring of taste and expression in phrasing. Engagements and re-engagements with symphony orchestras are proof of musicianship, rhythmical sureness, mental poise and breadth and quality of tone. Besides being a violinist of such excellence Emily is also a pianist of fine attainments and has several original compositions already to her credit. Allan B. Dow, head of the piano department of the Davenport Engberg School of Music, has given this young artist her work on piano and in theory and composition." o F Compensation Sought for World War Veterans. Mr. Eolstad has been spending most of his spare time recently in the interests of the $5,000,000 endowment fund for the support of orphans of veterans of the World War and for compensation of disabled veterans. This fund is to be maintained in perpetuity; only the income of the fund to be used. Bellingham's quota of this fund is $4100, $1000 of which has already been subscribed by Legion men. Mr. Kolstad, as Legion representative, met Tuesday morning and Wednesday afternoon with a civilian committee, of which C. F. Nolte is chairman, to arrange for the subscription of the remainder of the quota by citizens outside of the Legion. Other members of the committee are Walter Whitcomb and Hugh Eldridge. .—o — JOHNSON GIVES TALK Lectures on Eugenics Presented to Student Body.

Miss Edyth Young Cottryll, a student of tbe Normal , in 1923-24, who taught the fourth grade at Burlington last winter, has written and illustrated a booklet, entitled "Vitamin Brownies," which she hopes to have published. A copy was sent to Miss Longley, who thinks the work is very clever and worthwhile. The story tells what the Brownies, as vitamines, do for children. The Vitamine vegetables are illustrated as little brownies, playing and skipping about. Miss Cottryll also sent a poster picture of a sand table she and her pupils had constructed, to Miss Longley.

The Philos have had a week-end trip planned for August 14 for several weeks. When the official date for Campus Capers was set it coincided with the week-end trip. True to form, the club made plans to postpone the trip for another day, even tho twice before the date has had to be changed. All school affairs should be scheduled at the beginning of the quarter. —: 0 , We are glad to see that the Board of Control is at last taking an active interest in the publications of the school. 0 • Why worry about promises given or the bills? President Fisher doesn't mind spending a lot of his valuable time trying to make ends meet. Supposing we think of this quotation, " a promise made is a debt unpaid," in response Monday evening to our word given in assembly. 0 • The Play seems to be "as you like i t ." At least most every one In the July 25th issue of "School and Society" Jesse H. Newlon, retiring president of the National Education association, presents an article entitled "The Educational Outlook at the End of the First Quarter of the Twentieth Century." He cites educational research' as the tool by which the greatest educational advances have been achieved. The scientific method of studying problems of education has been adapted largely from that employed by the natural sciences. By means of such study, the method of teaching has been revolutionized in several subjects. While, we do not, as yet, have a comprehensive science, of education, we are progressing toward that end but can only attain that goal by expending larger sums of money in new fields of research. Mr. Newlon deplores the fact that there still are thousands of teachers who have had no professional training and who do not keep abreast of educational knowledge.

He points out that the American people have awakened to the power of education and that the school is being charged with greater responsibilities than ever before. For example the schools are blamed for the lack of civic responsibility of the people at the polls and for the crime wave that is sweeping the country. Some quotations from the article are as follows: "The best service the schools can render is to foster the search for truth, to teach boys and girls to think for themselves, inculcate in them capacity for cooperation and self-control, and a high sense of personal and civic duty and loyalty. Any program that is aimed at teaching youth what to think in controversial matters is a menace.. There are already those among us who insist that youth shall be taught to hold particular views. * * * Such a proced-ticular views. * • * -Such a proceeding is dangerous and the schools must stand constantly against it." The great problem which America will fare in the next generation is the problem of national values. If we as a nation place material things above spiritual things, if we prefer the luxuries of the flesh to the high idealism and individual discipline that the welfare of the nation requires, then we may conclude that we cannot afford to carry out an adequate educational program/' Mr. Newlon advocates the creation of a department of education with a secretary in the president's cabinet, the United States being the only great nation that has not a ministry of education. He believes that one of the greatest services that teachers may render is to interpret the new aims of the school to the public in order' that the public, understanding our purposes, may cooperate with new policies.

Last week the W Club. presented Mr. Davis with a fine athletic sweater, made by the Saxony Knitting Company, as a token of the esteem that the club holds for him. The W Club hopes that Mr. Davis, will enjoy this symbol of the club's confidence in him as a leader and instructor of men's athletics. The club feels that Mr. Davis deserves the credit for the athletic supremacy among the smaller colleges of the Pacific Northwest that the Bellingham Normal has enjoyed during the past year. Made Letter in 1916. While attending this institution in 1916, Mr. Davis earned a letter in each of the three major sports. During the period of the late j war he served three years in the naval aviation corps. Upon his return to the Bellingham Normal in 1919 he added still further to his already enviable record by again earning a letter in each of the three major sports. This gives Mr. Davis two service stripes on the sweater presented by the W Club. Success to Mr. Davis. During his reign of one year as athletic coach during the absence of Mr. Carver, Coach Davis' teams won the minor colleges championship of this state in each of the four major sports. In view of this remarkable feat the W Club, of which Mr. Davis is sponsor, wish him the greatest success in his graduate study next year at the University of Chicago. SCHOOL GETS SILVER LOVING CUP AS TROPHY The men's Physical Education department recently received a beautiful loving cup from Piper Taft Co., in Seattle for winning the tri-normal track meet. Being made of hammered silver, and standing eleven inches in height, the cup is a trophy the department may well be proud of. As this is the first year that Piper Taft has given a cup to the winner of the tri-normal meet, it is sincerely hoped that they will continue to do so in ;the future. The boys who made the trip to Ellens-burg and are thus responsible for winning the cup were Bengen, Prigg, Al-gyr, Leach, Graham, Wingard, Katter-man, Hartley, and Bartsch. In addition to capturing the Tri-Nor-mal track meet, Coach Davis' athletes won the baseball and tennis championships at the same time. o POP REED'S TEAM IS BEATEN BY SWENSON Game Ends 9 to 7 Which Puts Swensoh in Lead. Katterle at the Bat. SWENSON WINS AGAIN Climbs to Head of List by Hard and Fast Playing. In a game played Wednesday, July 30, Swenson's gang of ball tossers shut out the men of Hinthorne. The game ended with Swenson's team coming out on the long end of a 3 to 0 score. Reed, working on the mound for the winners dished up an assortment of twisters that the opposition couldn't connect with. He held Hinthorne's men vio one hit during the entire game. Hicks also did some fine chucking but three hits coupled by numerous errors let in three runs. Hinthorne's squad in losing this game fell back into a tie for the cellar position. HORSESHOES ARE POPULAR WITH WOMEN PLAYERS The novelty of horseshoe has a strong appeal to the feminine portion of Normal. Maybe they are preparing for a strenuous summer vacation—some one suggested they might be practicing for future purposes—others say they might want to challenge the men. Whatever reason it is, it seems to have the desired effect of producing feminine approval of horseshoes. The unanimous cry is "Long Live Horseshoes." CAMPAIGN DRAWS FANS SPORT BRIEFS On August 3rd, Coach Sam Carver, who has been attending Stanford University for the past year, paid the Physical Education department a visit. Coach Carver will spend the remainder of the summer on Orcas Island. Warren Granger maintained his position at the top of the men's tennis singles by defeating Constantine in straight sets, 6-2; 6-0. Professor Newdall has been consulting Coach Davis on the merits of handball, in view, of losing a few pounds avoirdupois. Pop Reed's nine met defeat for the first time this season at the. hands of Swenson's peppery outfit in a fast game played last Monday. Perhaps the defeat dished out to Reed's men was due to the fact that they were without the leadership of their most able skipper or mayhap the fighting spirit of Swenson's men had something to do with the reserve. Reed, unable to be at the game, placed Ruthruff in charge of affairs. Swenson's Team Takes Lead. Reed's squad came up to bat first. Payne doing the chucking for Swenson's team, looped them over and proceeded to mow them down in order. Coming up to bat in their half of the first with blood in their eyes Swenson?s aggregation pounced upon the offerings of Ruthruff in regular Babe Ruth fashion. Dust flew thick and fast in the trail of men rounding the sacks. When the dust finally settled four Swensonites had succeeded in crossing the platter. Reed's Team Takes Lead. Ruthruff gave his men a raking over and they thereby proceeded to take their spite out on Payne. Once again a mighty cloud of dust was stirred up, but this time it was caused by Reed's men sliding into the home cushion. Five men were called safe at home plate before Payne finally struck out the side. This deluge of runs gave Reed's team a one-run margin. Ruthruff Weakens. For the next few innings the teams battled nip and tuck with Reed's team holding the lead. Pitching and also tending to the managing end proved too much for Ruthruff. Weakening in the last inning he allowed Swenson's aggregation to bunch hits for three runs. When the side was finally retired too many men had crossed home plate, consequently Reed's men went home with the short end of a 9 to 7 score. NESS IS DISAPPOINTED Loose Pitching Permits Big Scores to Pile Up. Since Swenson's nine succeeded trouncing Pop Reed's outfit on Monday, Skipper Ness had visions of accomplish ing the same feat. Ness mustered all his forces on Tuesday evening in anticipation of the slaughter he was going to hand out to Reed's gang. Before the evening was over Pilot Ness found that all visions do not materialize. Hoffman Fails to Locate Plate. Ness sent Hoffman in to do the chucking with Bond on the receiving end. Hoffman failing to locate the plate, issued free passes to a number of Reed's men. These free passes, along with a few solid hits and numerous errors, allowed Reed's nine to pile up a substantial lead in the early innings. Buzzard in Great Form. Buzzard had a lot of steam on his fast ball consequently Ness' men were whiffing the air most of the time. The seven markers made off his delivery were the result of a streak of wildness and four safe hits. Katterle Gets a Homer. Zeno Katterle had. much to do with winning the game for Reed's aggregation. Zeno clouted one over the outfielder's heads that went for three bases. On his first time up Ness' second sackers let one of Zeno's hot drives get away from him and Zeno stretched what should have been a single into a home run. Pop Reed showed the boys how to beat out a bunt. On two occasions Pop laid a bunt down the third base line and sprinted to first in advance of the ball. Darkness Halts Game. A bit of squabbling slowed up the game to such an extent that the umpire was forced to call the game to a halt at an early stage on account of darkness. As a result Ness had to take his warriors home the losers with a 9 to 7 JOKES Johnny thought he was so smart, His mother told him so; He fell into a nettle hedge, My—how he smarted so! 1 Oh, Min! He: "Don't you like my car?" Freda Scott: "Sure, it's a (bump— bump) rattling good Ford." If you flunk in History don't blame your teacher.

COWBELLS NEEDED TO FIND UNTRAINED SHOES NORTHWEST AND OLYMPIC STARS MAKE NEW RECORDS (Continued from Page One) The ball players and fans around /the •Normal are showing much interest in the major league campaign. They are also waiting to see who is going to line up for the World Series. Ty Cobb the great batter is now standing fourth place in the American league batting, championship. Walter Johnson, one of the greatest American pitchers, is still in and going strong. One of the students remarked that this looked like, a hard year for the Yanks and Giants, as Philadelphia is leading both the American and National League. Many fans will be sitting around the old radio in a few weeks listening to the World Series as played inning by inning, and hoping for a home run from Babe Ruth, or Ty Cobb, or perhaps Harry Rice the new batting king of St. Louis Browns will swat out some homers.

VAN VLIET RETURNS Master Player of Cello Renders Beautiful Program. The Board of Control held a business meeting at noon last Wednesday in the office of the student association. After routine business the meeting was devoted to a discussion of the school paper. It was decided to hold a joint meeting with the editorial council of the Messenger on Monday to discuss possible improvements. It was decided to hold a meeting at four o'clock Thursday to make plans for next year's Klipsun, whereby the mistakes of this year may be avoided. o — DR. HARRIES SPEAKS Those who attended the concert given by Cornelius Van Vliet, at the Normal Auditorium Monday evening, heard a master artist with the cello. Mr. Van Vliet is the solo cellist of the Philharmonic Orchestra of New York and has filled the same position in one of the best orchestras of Europe in Vienna. Beside being an artist, Mr. Van Vliet is a man of very pleasing personality and can keep his audience in the proper mood to appreciate .his music. Although a delay of a few minutes was occasioned by the failure of his accompanist to arrive, Mr. Van Vliet held his audience by playing a Bach suit for the cello alone. Following this he made explanatory remarks upon his program for the evening. Mr. Arville Belstad, accompanied Mr. Van Vliet, and though detained by car trouble, made up for the lateness by the beauty of his playing. His ability was demonstrated in the second group, the Decamer by Th. Gouvy. This group is really a duet for the cello and piano. At the close of this a recall was demanded and the last of the group was repeated. Several Encores Demanded Mr. Van Vliet ranks among the best cellists in the world. He demonstrated his ability both in handling the instrument and by the choice of selections. Insistent applause followed each number and he was forced to give several encores, one of which was the "Organ Grinders' Song." It was of a melancholy strain and very beautiful. He also played, by request, "Andal-usian Serenade", by K. Kalmpf. Those who heard Mr. Van Vliet in assembly July 14 will remember this as it gave the effect of guitar music. . Mr. Van Vliet explained that cello music is not as limited as is some times supposed. He also spoke of the Gouve group, composed in the Romantic period, of which he has,the only copy now in existence. He thinks that here in America we think too much of the musician and not enough of; the work which he is going , to present; in other words we should think first of what is on the program to be presented and trusts to the musician ;';^ gt;ender/ii;;;ciapably.i,:' . ..V. •:_';.;;'.•'.•',: How Are the Millions of Dollars to be Spent? Dr. Arthur Harries, who up until two years ago was pastor of one of the wealthiest churches of London, England, delivered an interesting address to the Normal students, July 30, in the Normal auditorium. The topic was: "India and Her Needs." Dr. Harries is a native of Wales, and he started his address by telling about his college chum, Watkin Roberts, who offered himself to the Mission Board for work in India, and upon being refused, determined to go anyway. "But howr can you go without the Board behind you?" he was asked. "There is God," was his confident reply. And so it seemed. After Mr. Roberts had been in India for some time, he felt the need of a printing press, and he asked the Lord to provide it. As he was walking about one day. he passed a building that was being demolished. Approaching this building, he saw an old printing press. He asked the foreman what he intended to do with the press. He was told that it would have to be carried away, and that two day's wage would be paid for removing it. At once Mr. Roberts called a man to help him and together they removed the objectionable printing press. So well pleased was the foreman with the dispatch with which this was done that he paid them four days' wages. On this press Mr. Roberts printed tracts in Hindustani and Bengali. The gospel of John was also printed and was distributed to all the chiefs of Assam. The response was gratifying. "Come." invited these chiefs,, "and tell us about the One of whom it speaks." On one occasion Mr. Roberts went into Bhutan in northeastern India. This land borders on Thibet, and on the borderland tribes of headhunters 'infested the hills. There the chiefs use the skulls of their victims to deeorate their huts, and of course the more skulls they can display the more important they. are. When making raids on their enemies, these head hunters are careful not to injure the women and girls, but kill only the male members of their victims, carrying the women and girls away into captivity. / Dr. Harries told of a Scotch tea planter who had established his plantation adjacent to these hills. One evening he heard the drums beating in the hills'; knowing that meant an attack he mounted his horse and hurried out to warn his people. Too late. The planter was, killed as were all native men and boys while the females on the plantation, including the planter's own nine-year- old adughter, were rushed away into the wilderness. InV due course news of this abduction reached the home government. England thought it worth while to pour out her treasure lavishly to .rescue this one On Tuesday, August 11, Emily Bently Dow, 15-year-old violinist of Seattle, will play at the assemblies. Her brother, James Dow, will accompany her at the piano. Miss Dow plays both the violin and piano. She will give numbers on both instruments. Mme. Engberg, formerly of Bellingham, is Miss Dow's instructor. She says: "Emily Dow has studied violin with me for the past four years. During this time her progress has been so rapid and the unfolding of her musical gifts so astonishing that I feel justified in placing her almost in the prodigy class. During a part of these,four years Emily lived •at my school thus enabling me to supervise her practice. Emily Dow is not alone well equipped technically but her musical insight has been developed hand in hand with the solving of mechanical problems and the acquiring of repertoire so that her playing today at the age of barely fourteen years possesses the maturity of an artist. Ensemble work and playing with orchestral accompaniment have contributed largely to the acquiring of taste and expression in phrasing. Engagements and re-engagements with symphony orchestras are proof of musicianship, rhythmical sureness, mental poise and breadth and quality of tone. Besides being a violinist of such excellence Emily is also a pianist of fine attainments and has several original compositions already to her credit. Allan B. Dow, head of the piano department of the Davenport Engberg School of Music, has given this young artist her work on piano and in theory and composition." o F Compensation Sought for World War Veterans. Mr. Eolstad has been spending most of his spare time recently in the interests of the $5,000,000 endowment fund for the support of orphans of veterans of the World War and for compensation of disabled veterans. This fund is to be maintained in perpetuity; only the income of the fund to be used. Bellingham's quota of this fund is $4100, $1000 of which has already been subscribed by Legion men. Mr. Kolstad, as Legion representative, met Tuesday morning and Wednesday afternoon with a civilian committee, of which C. F. Nolte is chairman, to arrange for the subscription of the remainder of the quota by citizens outside of the Legion. Other members of the committee are Walter Whitcomb and Hugh Eldridge. .—o — JOHNSON GIVES TALK Lectures on Eugenics Presented to Student Body.

At least most every one In the July 25th issue of "School and Society" Jesse H. Newlon, retiring president of the National Education association, presents an article entitled "The Educational Outlook at the End of the First Quarter of the Twentieth Century." He cites educational research' as the tool by which the greatest educational advances have been achieved. The scientific method of studying problems of education has been adapted largely from that employed by the natural sciences. By means of such study, the method of teaching has been revolutionized in several subjects. While, we do not, as yet, have a comprehensive science, of education, we are progressing toward that end but can only attain that goal by expending larger sums of money in new fields of research. Mr. Newlon deplores the fact that there still are thousands of teachers who have had no professional training and who do not keep abreast of educational knowledge. Speaking of tinkering with courses of study that is being done by certain patriotic societies, capital and labor, and advocates of patricular religious beliefs, he says, "Teachers must stand firmly for the teaching of the truth, and the truth bears the imprint of no particular social, economic or religious group. In controversial questions, we must demand that both sides be presented." y^r/wwwwwvwvuvwvwvwvy IN (By MA) wwwwwwwwwwwwwu i Polks the unbelievable has happened. Mr. Kibbe has a car.

He points out that the American people have awakened to the power of education and that the school is being charged with greater responsibilities than ever before. For example the schools are blamed for the lack of civic responsibility of the people at the polls and for the crime wave that is sweeping the country. Some quotations from the article are as follows: "The best service the schools can render is to foster the search for truth, to teach boys and girls to think for themselves, inculcate in them capacity for cooperation and self-control, and a high sense of personal and civic duty and loyalty. Any program that is aimed at teaching youth what to think in controversial matters is a menace.. There are already those among us who insist that youth shall be taught to hold particular views. * * * Such a proced-ticular views. * • * -Such a proceeding is dangerous and the schools must stand constantly against it." The great problem which America will fare in the next generation is the problem of national values. If we as a nation place material things above spiritual things, if we prefer the luxuries of the flesh to the high idealism and individual discipline that the welfare of the nation requires, then we may conclude that we cannot afford to carry out an adequate educational program/' Mr. Newlon advocates the creation of a department of education with a secretary in the president's cabinet, the United States being the only great nation that has not a ministry of education. He believes that one of the greatest services that teachers may render is to interpret the new aims of the school to the public in order' that the public, understanding our purposes, may cooperate with new policies. Rules are so funny. Week before last, the Messenger folks went on a picnic.

Last week the W Club. presented Mr. Davis with a fine athletic sweater, made by the Saxony Knitting Company, as a token of the esteem that the club holds for him. The W Club hopes that Mr. Davis, will enjoy this symbol of the club's confidence in him as a leader and instructor of men's athletics. The club feels that Mr. Davis deserves the credit for the athletic supremacy among the smaller colleges of the Pacific Northwest that the Bellingham Normal has enjoyed during the past year. Made Letter in 1916. While attending this institution in 1916, Mr. Davis earned a letter in each of the three major sports. During the period of the late j war he served three years in the naval aviation corps. Upon his return to the Bellingham Normal in 1919 he added still further to his already enviable record by again earning a letter in each of the three major sports. This gives Mr. Davis two service stripes on the sweater presented by the W Club. Success to Mr. Davis. During his reign of one year as athletic coach during the absence of Mr. Carver, Coach Davis' teams won the minor colleges championship of this state in each of the four major sports. In view of this remarkable feat the W Club, of which Mr. Davis is sponsor, wish him the greatest success in his graduate study next year at the University of Chicago. SCHOOL GETS SILVER LOVING CUP AS TROPHY The men's Physical Education department recently received a beautiful loving cup from Piper Taft Co., in Seattle for winning the tri-normal track meet. Being made of hammered silver, and standing eleven inches in height, the cup is a trophy the department may well be proud of. As this is the first year that Piper Taft has given a cup to the winner of the tri-normal meet, it is sincerely hoped that they will continue to do so in ;the future. The boys who made the trip to Ellens-burg and are thus responsible for winning the cup were Bengen, Prigg, Al-gyr, Leach, Graham, Wingard, Katter-man, Hartley, and Bartsch. In addition to capturing the Tri-Nor-mal track meet, Coach Davis' athletes won the baseball and tennis championships at the same time. o POP REED'S TEAM IS BEATEN BY SWENSON Game Ends 9 to 7 Which Puts Swensoh in Lead. Katterle at the Bat. SWENSON WINS AGAIN Climbs to Head of List by Hard and Fast Playing. In a game played Wednesday, July 30, Swenson's gang of ball tossers shut out the men of Hinthorne. The game ended with Swenson's team coming out on the long end of a 3 to 0 score. Reed, working on the mound for the winners dished up an assortment of twisters that the opposition couldn't connect with. He held Hinthorne's men vio one hit during the entire game. Hicks also did some fine chucking but three hits coupled by numerous errors let in three runs. Hinthorne's squad in losing this game fell back into a tie for the cellar position. HORSESHOES ARE POPULAR WITH WOMEN PLAYERS The novelty of horseshoe has a strong appeal to the feminine portion of Normal. Maybe they are preparing for a strenuous summer vacation—some one suggested they might be practicing for future purposes—others say they might want to challenge the men. Whatever reason it is, it seems to have the desired effect of producing feminine approval of horseshoes. The unanimous cry is "Long Live Horseshoes." CAMPAIGN DRAWS FANS SPORT BRIEFS On August 3rd, Coach Sam Carver, who has been attending Stanford University for the past year, paid the Physical Education department a visit. Coach Carver will spend the remainder of the summer on Orcas Island. Warren Granger maintained his position at the top of the men's tennis singles by defeating Constantine in straight sets, 6-2; 6-0. Professor Newdall has been consulting Coach Davis on the merits of handball, in view, of losing a few pounds avoirdupois. Pop Reed's nine met defeat for the first time this season at the. hands of Swenson's peppery outfit in a fast game played last Monday. Perhaps the defeat dished out to Reed's men was due to the fact that they were without the leadership of their most able skipper or mayhap the fighting spirit of Swenson's men had something to do with the reserve. Reed, unable to be at the game, placed Ruthruff in charge of affairs. Swenson's Team Takes Lead. Reed's squad came up to bat first. Payne doing the chucking for Swenson's team, looped them over and proceeded to mow them down in order. Coming up to bat in their half of the first with blood in their eyes Swenson?s aggregation pounced upon the offerings of Ruthruff in regular Babe Ruth fashion. Dust flew thick and fast in the trail of men rounding the sacks. When the dust finally settled four Swensonites had succeeded in crossing the platter. Reed's Team Takes Lead. Ruthruff gave his men a raking over and they thereby proceeded to take their spite out on Payne. Once again a mighty cloud of dust was stirred up, but this time it was caused by Reed's men sliding into the home cushion. Five men were called safe at home plate before Payne finally struck out the side. This deluge of runs gave Reed's team a one-run margin. Ruthruff Weakens. For the next few innings the teams battled nip and tuck with Reed's team holding the lead. Pitching and also tending to the managing end proved too much for Ruthruff. Weakening in the last inning he allowed Swenson's aggregation to bunch hits for three runs. When the side was finally retired too many men had crossed home plate, consequently Reed's men went home with the short end of a 9 to 7 score. NESS IS DISAPPOINTED Loose Pitching Permits Big Scores to Pile Up. Since Swenson's nine succeeded trouncing Pop Reed's outfit on Monday, Skipper Ness had visions of accomplish ing the same feat. Ness mustered all his forces on Tuesday evening in anticipation of the slaughter he was going to hand out to Reed's gang. Before the evening was over Pilot Ness found that all visions do not materialize. Hoffman Fails to Locate Plate. Ness sent Hoffman in to do the chucking with Bond on the receiving end. Hoffman failing to locate the plate, issued free passes to a number of Reed's men. These free passes, along with a few solid hits and numerous errors, allowed Reed's nine to pile up a substantial lead in the early innings. Buzzard in Great Form. Buzzard had a lot of steam on his fast ball consequently Ness' men were whiffing the air most of the time. The seven markers made off his delivery were the result of a streak of wildness and four safe hits. Katterle Gets a Homer. Zeno Katterle had. much to do with winning the game for Reed's aggregation. Zeno clouted one over the outfielder's heads that went for three bases. On his first time up Ness' second sackers let one of Zeno's hot drives get away from him and Zeno stretched what should have been a single into a home run. Pop Reed showed the boys how to beat out a bunt. On two occasions Pop laid a bunt down the third base line and sprinted to first in advance of the ball. Darkness Halts Game. A bit of squabbling slowed up the game to such an extent that the umpire was forced to call the game to a halt at an early stage on account of darkness. As a result Ness had to take his warriors home the losers with a 9 to 7 JOKES Johnny thought he was so smart, His mother told him so; He fell into a nettle hedge, My—how he smarted so! 1 Oh, Min! He: "Don't you like my car?" Freda Scott: "Sure, it's a (bump— bump) rattling good Ford." If you flunk in History don't blame your teacher.

They are also waiting to see who is going to line up for the World Series. Ty Cobb the great batter is now standing fourth place in the American league batting, championship. Walter Johnson, one of the greatest American pitchers, is still in and going strong. One of the students remarked that this looked like, a hard year for the Yanks and Giants, as Philadelphia is leading both the American and National League.

Bryan: No, I don't suppose you ever Many of the Normal students attended the Saturday night's performance of the Wayfarer, August 2. They report that the presentation was a masterpiece. The lighting effect was given much praise; the skill in which the color schemes were carried out was marvelous. From the general viewpoint of the students the last scene'. "The March of the Nations/ was most impressive. To them it didn't seem a better presentation, but it broke the spell in which the spectacle had been carried in throughout the entire performance There were no congestions among the thousands who traveled to and away from the pageant performances. Directors were stationed everywhere to guide the people in the right directions. Many of the students who were unable to attend "The Wayferer" at Seattle, plan to witness the pageant at Vancouver, B.

In spite of the tremendous costs of war and his own defeat he closed his career without any war debt for France to pay. Einstein Discussed In speaking of the achievements of Einstein, Mr. Baumgardt said that while some of the discoveries of science had been made through highly technical processes science is by no means a closed book to the masses. Einstein's theory of relativity applies to the properties of matter moving at extraordinary speeds. His work is largely confined in its practical aspects to the physics of light and particles of matter moving at a velocity approaching that of light. The last lecture, "Jerusalem and the Hills of Judea" was illustrated by a remarkable set of slides. As a guidebook for travel in the Holy Land the Bible can not be surpassed said Mr. Baumgardt, the Old Testament for travel in Judea and the New Testament for travel in Samaria and Galilee. Palestine is now being reclaimed under British mandate but his opinion is that it will never again be the commercial center of the world. . o— LECTURE ON EUGENICS PRESENTED TO STUDENTS TONIGfiT IS LAST Fblt ''AS YOU LTOMT" (Contiued from Page One) little white maid.

O P P O S E Keplinger, Benson, and Isaacson Comprise Veteran Lettermen; They will be Mixed with Subs. Coach Sam Carver's varsity hoop squad will open its 192S schedule Saturday night at 8 o'clock, in the Whatcom High gym against the fast Heater Glove five., leaders in the Seattle City league, and rated as one of the best independent teams in the Northwest. The Vikings are doped to have an excellent team—one at least equal to last year's state Tri- Normal championship outfit—a n d should put up a strong fight against the fast Seattle team. Coach Carver will have a squad of nine men in suits Saturday and will probably shove all of them into the fray in an effort to find the best combination. Three lettermen, Earl Keplinger, Art Isaacson and Harry Benson, together with six supers— McClurken, Harper, Erickson, Ray •Jewell, Clarke and Anderson—will form the tentative varsity. With several new men of promise out the past week, and George Benson, letter-man of two years ago, back in school, the permanent personnel of the first string will probably remain undetermined for some time. Heaters Have Fast Men The Heaters will have witli them some of the classiest hoop men in Seattle. Although still undefeated in the Seattle City League, they have been completely revamped sin.:e theii last game. Their probable iine-up against Normal will have Ciiet Duett, who almost made University of Washington varsity, at the tip-off berth, with Larry Kamm and Johnny Gaffney at the forward posts: Kazis Krauezunas and Ron Bekine to fill the guard positions. Hard Schedule Arranged Following the Heater Glove clash, the Vikings will engage in hard campaign of at least one game a wceki all during January and early February. The Washington Pros], will clash with the Vikings January 20 in their game away from " big home games of Ellensburg on Jamsarv 2( Cheney, January ;jf.—will follow.

The plan for the general development of the Normal School to cover a twenty-five year period will soon pass a definite milepost with the completion of the new library building. The next unit will be the new gymnasium, to be constructed on the Athletic Field, where the baseball diamond is now situated. A new athletic field across the road from the present one is another unit which will be undertaken in the near future. Two Student Delegates Return Home From Detroit Convention Normal Representatives, Milton Fields and Grace Lytle, to Student Volunteer Convention Held During Christmas Vacation, Arrive Last Evening. OF CONTROL SELECTS MANAGER Milton Fields, sent from the Normal as a delegate to the Tenth Quadrennial Convention of College and University Leaders, which was held in Detroit recently, returned to Bellingham last night. Crayce Lyllle, the second delegate, slopped in Ellensburg to spend a belated Christmas with her parents. Milton slates, "We had a fine time. I was fully pleased with the conference." This meeting Was attended by over four thousand college and university leaders, delegates from foreign schools, missionaries, and authorities on various subjects which were brought up before the group. The subjects which were discussed, according to Milton, were the possibility of outlawing war, the treatment of the foreign student on the the American college campus, armed foreign intervention, and the mis-sioondry problem. Milton slated that no effort Was made to come to a definite conclusion with any topic, the aim being mainly to arouse a consciousness of ils existence in the student bodies of American colleges, so that the students might work out Golda Abel Will Fill Vacancy on Staff of Year Book.

Miss Hopper expressed hope that additional placements can be made for the members of the class,' but as yet no definite possibilities can lie named. Flood Brings Out Story of Noah as Normalites Splash to School Lo and behold, a turkey rose out of the gravy and fluttered twit-ieringly, bearing in its beak a branch of mistletoe, uttering excited tweet-iweets as he circled' above, and Noah climbed ou{, scrubbed the mud off his ark and bought a can of valspar. And 983 Normal students crawled out of the upper windows and put on their boots, galoshes arid whatnot to wade through the flood to thejlorm. • •: • Yea, verily the storm had':, abated, tlie Waters were stayed yfrom the earth and the second cokl-speli, darn it anyway, had passed away from the face of the earth. '"Broke" people who can't afford Lindy-coats, galoshes, etc., 'may rejoice in the passing of the weather, as a symbol of the passing of all time—for yea, in their time, the Lindy coats, arid the boots arid the blue "W" slickers shall pass and the tin airplane babies of tomorrow will twitter oyer a, different civilization, if evolution continues to evolnte. \ ; The plan of the conference was: the subject to be presented by some authority, after which the meeting divided into discussion groups, where each delegate had an opportunity to express his or her views on the matter at hand. Rather than these meetings being forum in type, they were called "colloquiae", a term coined at the meeting. The greatest benefit of the meetings, according to Fields, is found in the improved relationships and understandings between colleges, nations, and races, insofar as the students are concerned. He cited a specific example of the latter, telling of a delegate from Alabama who had never seen either a Chinese or Japanese person. Updn this delegate's return, her report will undoubtedly point to this new knowledge, probably being favorable to the Oriental nations. The entire treatment of the sub-, jects taken up was more than satisfactory, according to Fields, who stated "We looked at things from a different angle.. We adopted a world outlook on these matters, rather than restricting our outlook to the confines of one college campus. Everything was taken up with a broad-minded viewpoint." When asked whether he considered the convention - to have justified its existence, Milton declared that he was unable to answer, saying that he was sure that it had been beneficial, but that a, direct reply to the question was impossible, it being something one felt, but could not express. The delegates from the Pacific Coast went to the conference on a special train, but, because many stopped off on the return, only two special coaches comprised the added conveniences of the .group, one, a Pullman, being for general use, while, an ordinary "day-coach^ was provided' for:discussibrisi; : ;^^^', lt;•' Golda Abel, recently elected business manager for the 1!)2S Klipsun, will take up her new duties with the collection of club payments for their annual pictures, in the near future. Faculty pictures are being taken this week and next, and as soon as registration closes, sophomores and third and fourth year students will visit the photographers. This will be the final dating for students and all those who miss their appointments will not have the (pleasure?) of seeing their pictures in the school annual. Bob Waters has recently been appointed as. the head of a research committee which will begin action soon in endeavoring to tabulate the school activities ench graduate has participated in. On Japan Issued UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, Seattle, January.—The latest number of the University of Washington chapbooks, "The Journal of lvenko, Musings of a Japanese Qoheleth of the Fourteenth Century," presented and commented on by Dr. Herbert IT. Gowen, professor of Oriental Studies at the University, throws a light upon the old social order of Japan and points to a similarity between the thoughts of Kenko living in the fourteenth century and the Jewish writer of the Old Testament book Eeclesias-tes. A New York critic of international standing is of the opinion that this series of booklets, edited by Professor Glenn Hughes of the University English department, will take its honorable place among the few artistic-ventures of its kind of which the country can boast. The first printing of the chap-books is limited to 500, as is each printing thereafter, Professor Hughes said. The first ten. books are already in their second printing. They are on sale in the larger cities of the United States. — — o —:— •' UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, January—-"Approximately 6,500 students were registered in the Univer-. sity. of Washington for the winter quarter by Saturday noon, December 31, according- to a.

The Pathe Science series will be. of a dual nature. One set of pictures will be made for use in universities and colleges. These will be of a highly technical nature and the supervision of the heads of the various departments will assure scientific accuracy. They will follow closely the courses in the various subjects as given at Harvard. University authorities feel that this series will be of the greatest value to other educational institutions, especially small colleges Unable to support large scientific divisions, but which are eager to present these subjects to their students.

Although completely outclassed, in the initial period the Supers came back with venom and all but turned the tables on their husky opponents in the final , canto. ' - Starting off like a cyclone, with Clinton JfcBeatli sinking several difficult long shots, and Elmer Herb c. spinning them in under the basket the Y soon piled up a substantial lead over the bewildered Blue and White hoopsters. The half score was 30 to 16 in the winners' favor. Undiscouraged and determined to '. retaliate, the Supers came back in the last period, setting the Y. M. C. A. athletes back on their haunches, making them play a defensive game. /The 14 point handicap was shoved -/down gradually to 11, 9, 5 and with less than a minute to go, down to one lone marker. Had the timekeeper's whistle been delayed for one minute the situation would probably have been reversed. " The Supers' play on the whole was ragged. Not only did the team lack the usual co-ordination but their shooting was far below par. When it came to speed and snappy passing the Vikings were there, but when it came to converting goals they were completely outclassed. Although the / Supers did not have' any shining stars, Harold Hawkings, their center, .was high point man with 12 to his credit. Harper and McClurken, the usually heavy'scoring forwards, were ; unable to find the basket. Improvement was noted, i however, in the play of "Sw^de" Anderson, who • played a fine,checking game against McBeath and accounted for six points himself. : Wednesday's contest was a playoff for the title, both teams having been tied for the lead at the end of the schedule. During the holiday season the Supers defeated the Y 43 to 35 to move into a tie for first place. In their-last scheduled contest - the Supers downed the-Baker Lumber Yard quintet 54 to 36.

The first game after the holidays, in the Intra-mural League was unique insofar as that it'absolutely defied a foreign custom, v The "tight-fisted" Scotchmen presented the fighting Coop quintet with 34 points while they, themselves, were granted but 18 markers. This is suposedly unusual. Legoe and (Keith, both "dark-horses," were the mainstays of the winner's offensive playing, with 11 and 10 points respectively.. One,, of the Class B men, Roy Arnett, contributed 8 scores and also played a commendable checking game by keeping the otherwise star, Joe •-Hermsbn, Jr., from making more than two baskets.

The final ,outcome-of this fast, interesting to watch game was in favor of the.Krew, 27 to 24. The Kitchen Boys are. to be congratulated for the fighting spirit they seem to possess. After dropping two games, they came back to win their last two games, giving them a percentage of .500. "Hank" Durr, again, proved to be •a remai-kable hoopster, by making seven points and also by playing a good team game. Walter Weber and Stan Thompson contributed 8 points each to the final outcome^ The Low Stars played well together and really looked good, but they lacked that necessary spirit to win. Aside from Gray, there were no individual stars on this team. Gray, playing consistently, was a "victory" for the Low * Stars.

C gt;A. and Shell Oil were all tied for first place until the night of December 16 when the "Y" lost to the Jayvees and Shell Oil lost to District 301, or the Teachers. ! , Coming as an upset just before the Jayvee-Y.M.CA. game," the School Teachers defeated the Shell Oil in a hard fought match by the score of 40 to 35. After leading for more than three quarters, the Oilmen weakened and allowed "the Teachers to work through their defense for the winning points. The game, in the last few minutes, was one of the most/ brilliant and exciting contests of the entire "Class B" year. The Teachers, by eliminating the Shell Oil, afforded the winner of the following contest with first place for the first half. A Jayvees Defeat Y Notwithstanding the fact that one of their stellar guards, Milt \ Meek, was out of the fray, the well-ccWhed Normal outfit handily donated a defeat to a Y.M.C.A. team that was playing on a familiar "floor. The "Y", although they looked good and performed well, were playing way over their heads when they met the Junior Varsity of the, Bellingham Normal School. The Jayvees, playing a close checking game, held the usually heavy scoring association cagers to 25 points, while their scoring machine functioned smoothly, rolling up 42 points. Fisher Outstanding Robert Fisher, center for the Junior Varsity, was high point man of the contest with 16 points. Bob, playing his usual checking game, was a red and yellow, the Jayvee's colors, flash that could not be stopped. He was in every play, which partiarly accounts for the lowness of the Y's score..

WtlSflfflitiifM TAUGHT CHILDREN Ppstdffice Is Unique Feature Used "in Training School for Purpose of Instruction and Amusement. Other ends than the mere supplying of stamps and the like may be gained by apostoffice, as the. second •grade-of the training school has proved. The' desire of the children of the class to construct and manage some sort of a commercial enterprise has not only provided much enjoyment for the children, but has also been a valuable aid to the teachers in the, instruction of .oral language, numbers, spelling, composition, and penmanship. Last fall the children decided that some Nsprt' of a business was a desira b l e feature in.class work, and after much discussion of the matter, and consideration of various types of merchandising establishments, it was decided by popular vote to have a postoffice. The results of this endeavor are more than evident, both in class work and in the shop constructed entirely by the students. Investigations concerning the work done by a postoffice, the manner in which it is carried out, and the arrangement of a postoffice, are all reflected in the work of the children. Equipment included a full fledged office with desks, chairs,, booths, letter slots, and mail boxes. In every respect the work is correct and shows painstaking effort in its construction. All the work done was performed by. the children, measurement playing an important part, thus aiding in number work. The painting of the office was' also done by the pupils. Following the establishment of the office, a postcard and a stamped envelope were bought, these serving as models for the class to work from. The stock of the office now includes stamped envelopes, made by the pu- 'pils, even to the cutting and pasting of the paper, stamped postcards, also made in class, and student-made two-cent stamps. It is planned later to have stamps of different denominations. Letters are written by the members of the class to each other and to their teachers, who always reply, and to members of the first and second grades, who have been invited to participate J n this activity. The letters written must first pass an examination by the teacher as regards composition, spelling, and neatness. Change is given the students by the teachers with which they buy their writing supplies. An accurate record is kept by both the student and the .postmaster, both of whom later report to the teacher. This is an-other way in which the children study their numbers. Each week a postmaster, clerk and postman are elected by the elas.s from the five or six who have made the highest '-'grades that week in their numbers. The class' discusses the duties of the positions, and the qualifications of the nominees. To he a postmaster, the class decided that the student must know his numbers, be able to tell time in order to keep regular office hours, iind be able to read well in order to prevent miscarriage of the mails. Letters which bear unreadable addresses are consigned to the dead letter office by the postmaster. In speaking of the benefits of the endeavor, . Miss Mildred Moi'fatt, training teacher, staled: '-The children learn to handle real money in a lifelike situation, and come in contact w'fth real situations and real merchants." ~ -^-o PATRICIA BOYD PLAYS IN TUESDAY ASSEMBLY Miss Patricia Boyd will present a piano recital here at next Tuesday's regular assembly. Miss Boyd is from Boston, and her program is as follows : Chromatic Fantasy Bach Harmonica Blacksmith Handel Scherzo Mendelssohn " Fantasy "Impromptu Berceuse - Ballade (G minor) Chopin Phalenes Phillip Regolette Fantasy Lizt Miss Boyd has an enviable reputation, as a pianist for one so young as . she is. - Mr. E.

May Lovegren's. typewriting class for this quarter numbers four-; teen, of which nearly half are boys. The course is an auxiliary, to continued office work and other business requisites.iuid offers a quarter's work in typewriting and also extra work on mimeographing machines. Mr. Herbert. Allen, who has been assistant to Mrs. Lovegren, will not be back this quarter. Mr. Allen has bceii prominent in seholasitic activity for the past two years. The following have been taking mimeographing work durjng the last quarter: Allegra Jones, Myrna Poor-man, Thelma Meisen, Veryl Young, Herbert Allen, Luella Hansen, Anna Mura, and Vivian Wellman. Miss Wellman is now teaching at the Robin Secretarial sehool. Those who have signed for service work this quarter are: Veryl Young, Frank Lovegren, Eunice Schwartz, Margaret Green, and Anna Mura. It is expected that possibly two or three more students will.sign for this course within the next few clays. Extension Department Three new courses have been added to the many courses which the Extension department offers: Science 1-c by Mr. II. C. Phillippi: Geography-II by Mr. Thomas F. Hunt, and English- 10, bv Mrs. Barbara Dixon Ewall. Harvard U Plan of Vagabonding Proving Popular NEW YORK.—Harvard's plan of educational "vagabonding" has been winning enthusiastic receptions in other colleges, with consequent, attempts by many college editors to bring about similar arrangements in their own institutions. The vagabonding is simply a matter of attending interesting lectures in classes besides those in which the student is registered. To enable the students to choose, the Harvard Crimson each day publishes a directory of worthwhile lectures, from which the students make their choice. Harvard students had long followed this program, but their daily has crystallized the practice into an extra-curricular activity. President C. C. Little, of the University of Michigan, while recognizing the excellent scholastic motives behind vagabonding, predicts that '"'it is likely to have disastrous effects if carried to the extreme." If not permitted to interfere with regular class work, lie views it as legitimate. Thespians Install New Officers for Present Quarter Officers of the Thespian Club were elected for the present Winter Quarter just previous to the close of the past term. Fred Lagger is the new club head, with Irene Schagel as Vice- President, Myfanny -Jones, treasurer. Miss Schagel, who is the retiring President becomes by virtue of her office, chairman of the program committee. Among the social functions* which will feature the quarter's activities for the club will be the annual Thespian Homecoming Banquet- held on Washington's Birthday. On this occasion a number of the. old Thespians of past years are back to renew friendships. -—.»• •-».

RICE, Bellingham In a nation such as ours, where each and every individual is a component part of the government, nothing is quite so important as that every voter have sufficient educational training to enable him to think and act intelligently in passing upon officials and measures submitted to him for approval. Our neighbor, Mexico, furnishes a horrid example of an attempt to carry on a representative form of government without an enlightened electorate. At the very beginning of our national existence, we hear George Washington saying, "Promote, then, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge. In pnmortion as the structure of a government is forced to follow public opinion, it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened." Has this admonition been carried out by our government? Not in any serious fashion. Every other important phase of our national life has been recognized by dignifying it with an executive department with a secretary in the President's Cabinet, but not so with education. We find the President's official family now to consist of ten secretaries, seven for administrative purposes and three for promotional reasons, the latter being those of Agriculture, Commerce and Labor. To this latter class by all means should be added a Department of Education with a secretary in the President's Cabinet, The education of the people has been left largely to the several states without any central fountain-head of definite information and practical plans for the best procedure in any of the various phases of the problem of educating all the people. Haphazard has been the rule. What has been the net result? The last census tells us that li out of every 100 uf our population above ten years of age can not read and write. Germany and Denmark have only 2 in 1,000. while nine other European countries rank higher than we do in this respect. The United States has more than 5,000.000 illiterates—a greater number of people than the whole population of Australia.

It is deplorable not alone because of the loss in efficiency to both the nation and the individual, but from the ranks of illiterates three out of four of our criminals are recruited and these people are in so many cases easy tools for the manipulation of the corrupt politician. Many will be surprised to learn that this illiteracy is not confined largely to the southern negroes. The facts are that more than 3,000,000 of the illiterates in the United States are whites and aboutPPPPP

COMMITTEE COLLECTING VOTES FOR THE TULIP "inn ILLE E The "W Club vaudeville actors played to a large and appreciative audience Friday evening, April 20. A large variety of acts were admirably presented, to the delight of the onlookers. Ed Hanna's exhibition with the punching bag was an eye-opener to the uninitiated, not to mention Angus Bowmer's splendid characterization of the simple Swede who was looking for work and afraid he might find it. The Jolly Jesters—Frankie Martinson, Dick Brandon and Lester Stewart did some clever acting which brought the house down. Mr. Stewart was alo eminently successful as endman in the minstrel show. Thomas Catastrophe Hightower charmed as usual with a grand medley of jiggs rendered to the tune of Turkey in the Straw. What was perhaps the cleverest skit of the entire performance was the takeoff on Julius Caesar, directed by V. G. Lowman and starred in by Wm. McNeil, Bill Benson, Carroll Haeske, and Oh, ever so many other notables. The act contained real wit and humor. B. S. N. S.— "The boys and girls who manifest the tendency to truancy are not necessarily bad They are just like the rest of us." Dr. Miller, on psychology of youth. "We are supporting Miss Hickson, because we think she will be queen and no one but the queen should have the Alaskan trip," says Bob Tunstall, a member of the big drive committee, consisting of Mr. Kolstad, chairman, John O'Rourke, Mrs. Irish and Mr. Tunstall. Mr. Tunstall states that the various groups who are canvassing the community have successfully covered their territory. Last Saturday 18,000 votes were secured in the Sehome district alone. The leaders of the various groups are the following active students: Edwin Opstead, Blaine. Genevieve Evon, York. Violet Mitcham, Silver Beach. Lou Fowler, Bellingham Heights. Mrs. Wenburg and Estelle Larson, Sehome. Estelle Skrondal, Broadway. Esther Hansbury, Happy Valley. John Thennes, Rural Districts. Rolo Whitcomb, down town. Guy Bond, Eureka. Ruth Gill, Eldridge. REGISTRATION BEfilNS ON Registration for the summer quarter will begin in about two weeks, thus giving students now in attendance an advantage in being registered early for the classes that are likely to be closed. A limit has been placed on enrollment in most courses. Early registration pays. There will be a rush when 800 to 1,000 new students enter during the first week of summer school. B. S. N. S. LADIES QUARTET ROYALLY AT "You might say that they gave us a regular reception and a splendid feed afterward, and that we were just ever so pleased because that was the first we've had." That's one of the statements Miss Belton made concerning the musical extension program given at Ferndale last week. An Ellison-White man who was in the audience asked if the quartette would consider an engagement with that company if offered, and declared that the entire pogram was the best he had heard in a long while. The Music department is doing good advertising for the school and its extension programs are becoming widely known. An invitation has recently been received, asking that a program might be given in a town east of the mountains. But Miss Belton just smiles a pleased, pleased smile and is very grateful— and decides that they'll stay at home, if you please. B. S. N. S.

The program brought to light several interesting facts. One was that all use good English, or is "jug" poor English for jail? Another emphasized the fact that they "boosted" the "W" club and read the program, a third showed a keen sense of class humor, a fourth tested powers of observation and a fifth displayed the perfectly human trait "Every man for himself," tho in this case each "failure" took a chair. Refreshments were served. Mr. Henderson's idea of "just a little more, please," speaking of ice cream is about four generous, helpings on one saucer But here as before all met the situation and a thoroughly good time was the result.

One point of interest that was brought out through his lecture was that gold mining is not the only kind of mining carried on. Tin and copper mining are carried on to some extent also. The students greatly appreciated the lecture and slides.

M. COOK, Prop. CHILDREN'S CODE OF MORALS For Elementary Schools By William J. Hutchins Teachers will find the following code of morals a concise outline of the laws of right living which should be emphasized in the elementary grades by means of stories, plays, and historical illustrations. Moral code for boys and girls. Boys and girls who are good Americans try to become strong and useful, that our country may become ever greater and better. Therefore, they obey the laws of right living which the best Americans have always obeyed. I The Law of Health. The Good American Tries to Gain and to Keep Perfect Health The welfare of our country depends upon those who try to be physically fit for their daily work. Therefore: 1. I will keep my clothes, my body, and my mind clean. 2. I will avoid those habits which would harm me, and will make and never break those habits which will help me. 3. I will try to take such food, sleep, and exercise as will keep me in perfect health. n The Law of Self Control. The Good American Controls Himself. Those who best control themselves can best serve their country. 1. I will control my tongue, and will not allow it to speak mean, vulgar, or profane words. 2. I will control my temper, and will not get angry when people or things displease me. 3. I will control my thoughts, and will not allow a foolish wish to spoil a wise purpose. I l l The Law of Self-Reliance. The Good American Is Self-Reliant. Self-conceit is silly, but self-reliance is necessary to boys and girls who would be strong and useful. 1. I will gladly listen to the advice of older and wiser people; I will reverence the wishes of those who love and care DIAMONDS WATCHES CLOCKS JEWELRY MANUFACTURING, REPAIRING R. H. LEACH Manufacturing Jewelers 1334 Dock Steet Look for Clock on Dock Fishing Season Opens April 15th Are you prepared to coax the finny tribe from his haunts?

The Big Hardware Store on Holly Street for me, and who know life and me better than I; but I will learn to think for myself, choose for myself, act for myself. 2. I will' not be afraid of being laughed at.. I will not be. afraid of. doing right when the crowd does wrong. Fear never made a good American. rv. The Law of Reliability. The Good American is Reliable Our country grows great and good as her citizens are able more fully to trust each other. Therefore: 1. I will be honest, in word and in act. I will not lie, sneak, or pretend, nor will I keep the truth from those who have a right to it. 2. I will not do wrong in the hope of not being found out- I cannot hide the truth from myself and cannot often hide it from others. 3. I will not take without permission what does not belong to me. 4. I will do promptly what I have promised to do. If I have made a foolish promise, I will at once confess my mistake, and I will try to make good any harm which my mistakes may have caused. I will so speak and act that people will find it easier to trust each other. V The Law of Clean Play. The Good American Plays Fair. Clean play increases and trains one's strength, and helps one to be more useful to one's country. Therefore: 1. I will not cheat, nor will I play for keeps. If I should not play fair the loser would lose the fun of the game, the winner would lose his self-respect, and the game itself would become a mean and often cruel business. 2. I will treat my opponent with courtesy. 3. If I play in a group game, I will play, not for my own glory, but for the success of my team and the fun of the game. 4. I will be a good loser or a generous winner. VI The Law of Duty. The Good American Does His Duty. The shirker or the willing idler lives upon the labor of others, burdens others, with the work which he ought to do himself. He harms his fellow-citizens, and so harms his country. I will try to find out what my duty is, what I ought to do, and my duty I will do whether it is easy or hard. What I ought to do I can do. vn The Law of Good Workmanship. The welfare of our country depends upon those who have learned to do in the right way the things that ought to be done. Therefore: 1. I will get the best possible education, and learn all that I can from those who have learned to do the right thing in the right way. 2. I will take an interest in my work, and will not be satisfied with slipshod and merely passable work. A wheel or a rail carelessly made may cause the death of hundreds. 3. I will try to do the right thing in the right way. even when no one else sees or praises me. But- when I have done my best, I will not envy those who have done better, or have received larger reward. Envy spoils the work and the worker. ... vm The Law of Team-Work. The Good American Works in Friendly Co-operation with His Fellow-Workers.

In America those who are of different races, colors, and conditions must, live together. We are of many different sorts, but we are one great people. Every unkindness hurts the common life; every kindness helps the common life. Therefore: -1. I-will be kind in all my thoughts. I will bear no spites or grudges. I will not think myself above any other girls or boys just because I am of a different race or colod or condition. I will never despise anybody. 2. I will be kind in all my speech. I will not gossip nor will I speak unkindly of anyone. Words may wound or heal. 3. I will be kind in all my acts. I will not selfishly insist on having my own way; I will always be polite. Rude people are not good Americans. I will, not trouble unnecessarily those who do work for me. I will do my best to prevent cruelty, and will give my best help to those who need it most.

I will be loyal to humanity.. • In loyalty I will do my best to help the friendly relations of our country with every other country, and to give to everyone in every land the best possible chance. If I try simply to be loyal to my family, I may be disloyal to my school. If I try simply to be loyal to my school, I may be disloyal to my town, my state and my country. If I try simply to be loyal to my town, state and country, I may be disloyal to humanity. I will try above all things else to be loyal to humanity; then I shall surely be loyal to my country, my state and my town, to my school and to my family.

Grading high school classes by the intelligence test is to be tried out next September in the East Thechnical High School of Cleveland, Ohio. Three grades are planned to provide for bright, average, and slow students. Cheney Normal is sending ten selected, inexperienced graduates to Seattle as cadet teachers. "Train the city teacher in the city system" is the slogan of George E. Craig, chairman of the Normal appointment committee. Only those likely to succeed and remain in the city are sent to Seattle. Expert supervision is given in training these new teachers. This is a forward movement that should relieve the rural schools of the task of "breaking in" raw recruits only to lose them when they become efficient. Also it will save re-training those who have formed their teaching habits under different conditions and with little supervision. Only graduates of exceptional quali-ficatons are recommended by the Normal to enter the Seattle cadet system. Scholarship, culture and adaptability count. The girls of the North Central High in Seattle have barred high heels, thin crepe blouses, ear-rings and excessive use of cosmetics. Silks, except pongee blouses and trimmings are also taboo.

MABLE JOHNSON NAOMI GRANT MAUDE WITHERS. SARA STRATHMAN MARIE LE COMPTE VENETA YOST ESTELLE THORSEN ALL IN THE GEAR. The little city car and the big intertirban were racing on parallel tracks along the South Bellingham route. The heavier car passed at a good rate, leaving the other far behind. A passenger noticing this, and also that the power wire of the interurban line was heavier than that of the city line, asked the motorman if this difference in size of wire had anything to do with the difference in the rate of travel. The motorman explained that the difference was not caused by a difference in voltage. The two cars were supplied with the same amount of power. .But the interurban car was geared for speed, while the city car was not. These little cars have to climb steep grades and are therefore geared low to suit their work. The speedier cars having far to go, and more level tracks, are geared for speed. The car has no choice in the selection of its own gear, but being needed for a certain kind of work is given a motor suited to that work. Assuming that cars have feelings, it must be pretty hard to be left behind in a long, easy grade; but what a satisfaction to be able to climb that steep hill, without breaking down, and look out from a point of view far above the level of the speed car below! Don't worry if you do get left behind in the speed test; perhaps somebody is waiting for you at the top of that steep grade and you'll be glad you're geared for the hard steady pull. There are many people depending on you to make the grade and they trust you most when you are slow but sure, even if they do become restless when the speeder passes you Dv. Keep on climbing, little car. -M. H. J. -B. S. N. S.- We wish to call attention to the Code of Morals given elsewhere in this issue. It is a concise outline of the ten laws of right living that should be brought before every girl and boy in the elementary schools. The Code is essential in building up the best American citizenship, and therefore should prove of great interest to prospective. teachers. The essentials, as given by William J. Hutchins, are stated in a straight-to-the-point and definite manner that teachers will find particularly adapted to their work, as well as time-saving. Since the methods of presenting the laws of the Code is the next problem before the teacher, a discussion of means, whereby the Code may be best taught, will be given in the next issue. At some future date a Code of Morals for high schools will be printed. '••:.

There is a rumor voiced about the Normal School to the effect that a large number of students are supporting other candidates than the one chosen by the committee. This does not speak well for our school. What if another candidate is your friend, what if she does attend the Normal School, she is not O U R candidate and therefore should not have our support. Loyalty to the school demands that you back the representative selected by the committee named for that purpose. — B. S. N. S. LET'S HAVE A NAME. Other schools have names for their athletic teams. Why can't our student body submit names to the sporting editor? Send in your choice and give your reasons for such choice. Put names in the Messenger box and address to Geo. Abbey. GOOD ENGLISH Good English a Necessity for Teachers.: It is essential that a teacher uphold the best standards of English, for she. is an example to the pupils of her school and to the community in which she teaches. The school teacher is a leader in community affairs, and, as such, must be able to express clearly her ideas and opinions. The standards of the English language are set largely by the teacher who, by her mastery of English, can instil in the pupils a pride for their mother tongue. The ideal toward which a true teacher is striving, is to make better citizens; and in realizing her ideal, she is insuring her success as a teacher. Nouns Frequently Misused. Audience, spectators.

Choose four bright colors—tissue paper will do—and decorate each corner of the room with a color. Have ready an equal number of slips of each color and a paper of pins. If your games remade by foldng several sheets of un-quire papei*, a dainty booklet may be ruled paper and.tying them through the middle of the fold. This also makes an interesting souvenir. As your guests arrive, give each a color, pin, booklet, and instructions to find the corner corresponding to their color slip. When all arrive, your guests will have been divided into four groups. A lively leader can work up a "spirit," and each will work for his color. Let it be known that failures will be "punished." All is now ready for the program. 1.—Mixer. Allow ten minutes during which each guest must secure the colors, signature, and age of the other guests. When time is up give a prize to the one having the greatest number of signatures, and take the names of the five having the least number. Keep this list, adding names to it until the last number on the program has been given. Call it the "Stunt List." 2.—Election. Allow 10 minutes during which each group elects a captain. After election, groups may intermingle until leader calls "Time." Then all return to their colors. 3.—Conversation. The leader passes a small bag, containing ten beans, to each guest. She quotes, "The unspoken word is thy slave; the spoken word thy master;" adding, "Guard well the words Yes and No, for if they prove your master, you lose your bean." The object of the game is to cause your neighbor to say "yes" or "no." For each offense they give you a bean. When a bag is empty they may go to the "garden" for more, but must leave their names with the gardener. These names are added to the stunt roll. 4. A quiet period may follow, during which the leader may call for a joke or funny story from each group. The captain of the group selects the performer. If one is called upon and refuses, his name is added to the stunt list, for future reference. Twenty minutes may be given this period. 5.—Lovers' Knot. Form circles, of'iiot more than twenty. Tie a knot in the center of a large handkerchief or small guest towel. The leader stands in the - center of the ring and tosses the towel into the lap of anyone in the circle, who immediately tosses it to another. The leader, in the meanwhile, tries to' secure it. The object of the game it to catch the towel in the hands or lap of one in the circle. This one then becomes leader, and the leader takes his place in the circle. The names of guests so caught should be added to the stunt list. Ten minutes can be well spent in this game. 6.—Musical. The leader may appoint, someone to lead in community singing, while he takes members oh the stunt list to an adjoining room for instructions. (To be Continued) -B. S. N. S, Big Man, Little Fuss. Sir Robert Baden-Powell, head of the Boy Scouts of the world, is visiting in the west. One of his chief characteristics, a mark of the good Scout, is his avoiding all ostentation and fuss- Strangely enough, Lady Baden-PoW-eil is also quick to escape from the crowds, not seeking applause as the wife of a popular hero.

Chief contenders for ladies' honors will be Lou Fowler, Margaret Bowen and Doris Turner. Edwin Opstad wil have charge of the tournament, part of the time, as referee. B. S. N.

From a Cheney Normal student now attending Bellingliam Normal, comes this story of pranks in Cheney. The girls who lived at the dormitory were a lively group looking for a gay time, wherever they might find it. One day they discovered a way to the roof through the linen closets. Arriving on top of the roof they experienced a delightful sense of being out of reach of critics, teachers, matrons, deans, etc, etc., and being free for a while. They tore around on the roof playing such, games as "Tag" and "Farmer in the Dell" quite innocently unaware of the presence of the matron on the campus below. Then, quite accidentally it happened that they played too near the edge and quite naturally of course the gravel fell from that particular place which was directly above the matron's head. The announcement was soon made that the linen closets would thereafter be kept locked. B. S. N. S. Mr. Burnham Plays. David Burnham, of Anacortes, delighted the student body with four violin selections at the Wednesday assembly.

After the lunch a happy and tired group of girls rode back to Bellingham on a Ford truck. MEMORY IS TRUE MEASURE OF KNOWLEDGE In determining how much a man really knows—his memory is the paramount test It is a utility test because no knowledge is useful, no learning has any practical value unless it can be remembered. It represents available knowledge. It means ready cash. Memory training means mental efficiency. It has been said, that the difference between a trained memory and one that is untrained, is just the difference between a- mind equipped with a filing cabinet, and a mind equipped with a waste paper basket. Both may contain the same amount of information, but you can find it in the filng cabinet when you need it. You are no stronger than your memory. As the old saying goes, "It is not what you eat, but what you digest, that makes you strong. It is not what you earn, but what you save, that makes you rich. It is not what you learn, but what you remember that makes you wise." —B. S. N. S. Miss Louden: "Well; Johnny, how do you spell giraffe?" Johnny: "G-i-r-a-f-e" Miss Louden: "The dictionary spells it with two f's." Johnny: "Well, you asked me how I spelled it ?" INDIAN INDEPENDENCE SURPRISES UNCLE SAM Montana Tribe First in History to Become Actually Self-supporting. While the oil-land Indians of Oklahoma are idly wallowing in the inherited wealth of chance, enjoying the distinction of being the richest red men of America, the Blackfeet tribe of Glacier National Park reservation today has achieved a reputation for thrift that brings to its 3,000 members high compliments from the Indian department of the United States government. Last year these Indians raised so much wheat that the government built them a $65,- 000 grist mill to grind their grain for them. This great wheat crop enabled Supt. F. P. Campbell to cancel the government ration allotment for 1923 and his wire to the Indian department to this effect created a bigger stir than any previous news relating to Indian affairs since: their era of peaceful living. The Blackfeet are diversifying in their agricultural efforts and have organized a grain and cattle association. The progress they have made in farming under the supervision of Supt. Campbell surpasses everything in the records of the Indian department in Washington. It is the first time in the history of Uncle Sam's civilization of the Indian that a tribe has become really self-supporting through its own thrift.

John Phibate, Junior at Yell College and member of the Delta Decka Cards fraternity, has never stepped out in his entire existence. His roommate, Harold Fratclub, always kids him about the lack of speed, but to no avail. Finally Horace Stacomb, the shiek, in need of another man, takes John Phibate because there is no other one at the house. They go to the Data Nu Dame house and there John Phibate sees the girl of his dreams. This episode will show how his dreams turned into a nightmare. He didn't pay any attention to the other couple. AH the time he was gazing at Loretta, and she smiled. On the way home he mustered a great deal of courage and said, "Er-Miss Loretta—I may call you Loretta?" "Oh, of course, Jackie." Oh rapture—she called him Jackie. John's heart beats doubled. "Well—would you do me the—the— honor—oh—. I mean would you like to attend our dance next Friday ?" "Oh, I should be delighted." And John found himself in the seventh heaven. The metamorphosis of Phibate was remarkable. He bought a tuxedo—discarded his glasses, became a good dancer, and to all appearances began to take after the species of collegiate youth commonly called "Cake Eaters." He told his roommate and all the other Datas about Loretta's charms until they promised to throw him out if he didn't change the subject. Most of all, his marks showed the effect of John's heart trouble, his grades went tobogganing. Several of his instructors came to the Delta Decka Cards house and questioned Phibate closely as to his health and financial conditions. Thus time went on. John took the lady of his heart to plays, operas, dances and dinners twice a week. His expenses rose and his grades fell. The Formal had been a great success. Loretta and John were cuddled close together in-the taxi; It was very cold outside. The driver had to go slowly because of the density of the snowfall, and so for a long time the two were close together in the corner of the car. Her radiant beauty held him enraptured. He had done nothing but study for his first two years in College, but now he had his reward. His arm slipped around her. She turned her face towards him; their lips met; seconds elapsed; at last they parted. She nestled close to him and sighed. "Oh Harold you are so wonderful." * * * * * The next quarter John Phibate's card had five A's. —;—B. S. N. s.

Just then the men sent.up a cheer for the Kormal—their Normal. "Look at the pages the Women's League get in the paper of which I, yes, I, am business manager.'' Here Pres.

"JAPAN NOT MILITANT" For Eighteen Years, -Mr. Trueman Has Been a Representative of the Y. M. C. A. in Japan. Mr. A. -H. Trueman,- who has been in Japan for eighteen years as a rep-representative of the Y. M. C. A., stressed the attitude of Japan in her immediate relations with_the Orient and her international relationships with the leading nations of the Occident, in his address before the student body Wednesday. "Japan has accepted wholeheartedly the Western method of commerce and business, and has arisen from an obscure nation to rank as one of the five leading powers of the world ,in a short period of eight years. The Japanese are proud and sensitive. If we get the full significance of these two fundamental characteristics of human nature it would help greatly in solving our international relationships with Japan." Mr. Trueman stated at the opening of his lecture. Port Arthur Important. Port Arthur during the Russo-Japanese war'was stressed. The Man-churian railway gave Japan the balance of power against Russia, so to speak. Probably the greatest single impetus for the expansion of Japanese commerce and industry was the World War. "During the World War, when the dual form of government, was at its highest tension, the Japanese intervened in the Russian controversy with a military attitude. As "a result Japan began industrializing. The rights of China had been encroached upon by the Japs" and her integrity had been violated, when the iron works in the Yangtze Valley were, transferred to Japanese rule."' Japan Not Belligerent. Washington, D. C., completely altered Japan's attitude toward China and her relations "with the Occident became ones of unmitigated friendship and co-operation," the speaker said. The essenceof Mr. Trueman's. address lay in his concluding remarks. He emphasized the. fact that Japan was not. a militant, belligerent or inimical nation, but that she was following in the footsteps of other world powers, and that the only possible remedy for international strife is for every nation to have confidence" in each other and base their relationships upon the highest ideals.

The topic of Miss Glass' speech was "The Heart of Youth." Many interesting experiences cited by the speaker gave the'listeners a thrill. Miss Glass explained that in order to gain the confidence .of a child one must get the thought and viewpoint of the person, no matter whether they be grade or high school pupils. She said: "We must look into the heart of the child and see the real self." ; 0-—r—— : INTER-CLUB COUNCIL AIDS ORGANIZATION Council Consists of One Representative from Each Club and Three Faculty Members. The Inter-Club Council was first organized last spring. Its formation was the result of a fell need of a central organization to control and supervise the activities of the various student organizations. Since that time it has performed an invaluable service for the different clubs of the school. The members of the Inter-Club Council consist of one representative from each of the club organizations, elected at the first meeting of the spring quarter. The representatives serve on the Council during the following year. Besides these student members, there are representatives of the faculty, including the Dean of Women, the Dean of Men and the Social Director of Edens Hall. „ Each organization is required to have a representative at all of the meetings of the Council. Each organization is required to furnish a club calendar for the year with preferences for dates and places. Each organization is also required to furnish the Council with all records, books and such other information as the Council may require. Besides the general supervision of the activities of the Clubs the Inter-Club-Council helps to settle the numerous difficulties within the Mrs. Hankins is Sole Graduate From the Four-Year Course at the End of the Fall Quarter. 59 TWO-YEAR GRADS Paul Rule, Martha Dillon, and Jessie Wait,.

At a meeting of the governor-,-his staff, President Fisher and the Normal trustees, the school budget lor the next two years and matters pertaining to it were discussed. President Fisher said: "Undoubtedly the Normal, with the approval of the state legislature, is to be able to go ahead with construction of 'a library during next year," so it at last appears as if the dreams,, of a library building will come true in the immediate futurei The budget asks for $260,000 to.erdct and furnish the building, which will be located where Cedar street now is, facing the campus. Since last year's state legislature passed the bill containing the provision for a library, there seems to be little opposition to its erection. "Freedom and frankness of discussion led to a satisfactory understanding of our problems. on the part of Governor Hartley and his staff," President Fisher added. "The visit was most satisfatory in every respect. "The policy of the; governor is to insist on quality instead of numbers at the Normal and in this policy the Normal heads are heartily in accord with the chief executive. The_JNbr-mal trustees and myself do not feel that they could have asked finer consideration than was given at the meeting.

In all probability the most enthusiastically received choral recital ever rendered in Bellingham was the production given by The Russian Syniphbnic Choir. The sample presentation given in the afternoon evidently convinced the students that the Russians actually could sing, as a great many attended the evening performance. Russian music is weird; it is soulful; it is the music of a great people, coming up through great tribulations. The Russian Choir was a true exemplification of that soul, of that music. Their costumes as well as their music was indicative of a people who can lay one* hand, as it were, on the age of barbarism, the other on the highest type of modern civilization. ; 'Their intonation chants and folk songs were as a gigantic storm sweeping across the great steppes of Russia, dying away finally to whisper of evening zephyr. The temple song, "Lord Have Mercy," by Lvovsky cannot be given due credit and praise. All that can be said concerning it is, that it possessed a quality of sublimity. The .delicate gradations of the dynamics was a feeling of wonderment and admiration "and of times gave the impression of the presence of a stringed orchestra. Art, color, and unbelievable tone, combined with numerous, almost inexpressible characteristics pertaining to that which is paramount in the world of music, would scarcely do justice to the praise r due the Russian Symphonic Choir. WHY A LITERARY CONTEST? / Announcement of a literary contest was made in the first issue of the Messenger for this fall quarter. The battle of pens is now finished ' and a pronouncement of victors has been made. Two and a half months is rather a long period for a literary contest, whose contributions are usually confined to less than a thousand words. Fred R. Bechdolt, one of the few fascinating writers of Western tales, often * completes a short story of four or five thousand words in less than two weeks, we have been told by Mr. Bechdolt's father. A comparison here is, of course, entirely out of place. The regrettable fact is that the responses to this contest Were very few. Perhaps not enough publicity was furnished, although it seems that a contest of this nature could •' hardly be enhanced by advertising. An appreciation of literature can be directed and enlarged, but the so-called "urge" for self-expression toward the creation of some form of literature is essentially native and is usually evident by the end of the high school year. But the trial of contest was worth-while. The poems, essays and stories received by the judges were of merit. Certainly trie poetry, ^which.was accorded first place was so deserving that had one hundred ethers challenged, it is dubious that its final rank had been altered. Interesting proof of this, how- .'•;.ever, would be to succeed this literary contest with others each quarter. Winners of the late,contest might be allowed to still, compete, and others, who perhaps; did not have time now to compete, could • * ? ^ ; J^r^a n?« they taight -lUJuew premier places. NOTE BOOK FIENDS Some instructors are so congluti-nated to this demented hurry-up-and- get-your-note-book-in complex that special days are set for bearing the sacrificial note book to the brown desk altar. Big days for them are July 4 ; dinner in the park; Labor Day; Thanksgiving; and Last Note Book Day, the best day of all. It is an obfnoxious, antideluvian, and insipidly vitiating custom, this. Hamlet (check up, there, English students, page 37 in your note books) said, "It's a consummation devoutly to be wished," thinking, doubtless, subconsciously, of this pernicious note book habit. Well meaning students in the flush of their sophomoric and excel-isor years, doing research in \ ency-clopediae, have to detour every two or so pages, because of pencil and finger marks of those who have gone before in their tireless search for note book filler. . Instructors probably vie with each other in trying to grind from classes "bigger and better" note books each quarter. -And such teachers who expend time to instruction and not to the indulgence of this notebook passion are probably looked upon with tolerant derision. Training school disciples when for a minute their thoughts are not infested with "projects" should consider note book work. They will never "arrive" in the art of teaching until some -knowledge of note book managing is mastered. But then, get your note books in next week, for the teachers have a surprise for you. They are going to "remember" you before Christmas. 7 ' By V. A. V7 , The Russian Sympkonic Choir only rominded me of the little boys in the Philippine Islands who, in moonlight nights, used to sing in concert in the same manner, but in a more disconcerted fashion than, the Russians do. Primitive music by primitive man was uv,that fashion. Before musical instruments were invented music in its primeval fude iorm was- already in" manifestation: lt; Primitive man of the wildness had only to imitate, and then modify the sound he heard from the' birds, and the brooks and the falling of trees, and the loud peal of thunder. The march of civilization only brought about the invention of the different musical instruments that we have at present age. • i There is a very great difference, however between the music furnished by the Russian Symphonic Choir and that of the boys in the Philippines... But the principle seems finv-damentally the same. •J^iiltjftfauuort Here are the high lights in the speech of Miss Charlotte Frazer, general secretary of the'Women's Christian Temperance Union in America, at, the assembly November 23: "I missed lots of punch and pep of college life by not attending a co-ed school." • "A man does not know much after being married three days." "We don't know what the future has in store for us. We do riot know what will come into our individual lives." "America has never been licked due to right leadership." "Consecrate your life to leadership." Miss /Frazer also said that when she was in school she had only one dollar allowance a month. These' days that dollar will disappear like a soap bubble in an instant.

MECHANICS 6 0 43 Thorlakson, Fisher, and Sullivan Lead Jay Vees Scoring Attack. Fisher Annexes 11 Field Goals. In a game played on the Y. M. C. A. floor last Friday' evening, the Jay Vees overwhelmed the Junior Mechanics. The score was 60 to 13. If the Normalites had been able to connect with the basket more consistently, the Mechanics would have suffered a much worse defeat. It took the Junior. Vikings about five minutes to get going. The Mechanics gained the first field goal, but following this goal, the Vikings, with determiation, set in to do their task and netted 15 points before their opponents made another point. At half time the score stood 35 to 5. The Normal scoring attack was led by Fisher, Thorlakson, and Sullivan. Wreckers Beat Methodists. In the other game of the evening, the Roland Wreckers downed the Methodists 33 to 22. The Methodists fought furiously in a vain effort to overcome the exerienced Wreckers, but they finally succumbed. Ludwigson and Urness played stellar games for the Methodists. Tonight, the Jay Vees will meet their first real test when they tangle with the Roland Wreckers.

Although a special matinee performance had been given in the afternoon at the Normal, the ironing -conceit was pleasantly received by an almost full house. With no instrumental accompaai-saent the group of choristers at once suggested something : of the novel,; the unusual, in vocal rendition. Voices Represent Opera. - Other •• features than the unique; oess of the presentation Attracted the j audience for the two-hour program, towever. The perfect ensemble of voices often reminded of an orchestra.: JSharp, plear bells could be distin-! gushed, by the occasional chanting of male voices. Humming, a variation of tone employed effectively by the choir, gave forth a delightful imitation of a tremulous violin. Deep -basses suggested the vibrancy of the 'cello. The entire effect was pleasant ;and satisfying. Grouped in regard to sacred songs, ^classical music and folk songs, the program was well divided. Of the premier group the. repeated strains of; "Lord, Have Mercy" proved most effective, with careful modulations of difficult chords. Classical Music Pleasant. Beethoven's "Andante Con Moto"is rarely heard in chorus; therefore its interpretation was appreciated. "Plai-senterie" of Nikolsky was an attractive lyrical completion of the classical group. Most appealing of the Russian folk songs was a Chechoslovakian dance song arranged by Basile Eabalchich, conductor of the choir. Other folk songs were marked by their lyrical, and charming, simple themes. In the early part of January the second number of the musical course will be given when Reinald Werren-irath, American baritone, will appear lin recital. •They had -knowTi each other for years, these two men who had just met 4n the train.

Don't lean on your partner; she's probably had no lunch, either. 3. Place one finger on your partner's shoulder. She may not be used to dead weight. 4. Don't look as if you were in pain. Take courage—dances don't last a lifetime. 5. Try not to get your form in the shape of a pretzel. Other shapes are far more becoming. 6.. Be light on her feet as well as on your own. 7. Listen to the music. Your conversation may not be quite as full of harmony. 8. . Keep time. The man who wrote the music knows more about rhythm than you do. 9. Dont try to invent some new stuff in dancing. People knew how to dance before you arrived. 10. Follow these instructions and you're sure to get away with the girls. Haw, haw, haw, haw! We thank you!

The selection of play this year was " Rosemary," made famous in this country by John Drew, and a wise choice it proved to be, for never have the Juniors acquitted themselves more splendidly. Great credit is due the cast, the director, business manager and associates, for in every detail the stagin gand acting of " Rosemary" was one almost of a professional character. Each character seemed to be made for his particular part and costume. George Van de Wetering as Sir Jasper Thorn-dyke amazed his audience, for no one knew how ably George could take the part of an old man.

Delicious refreshments were served later in the evening. Coach Sam Carver's boys' and girls' basketball teams were victorious in two gruelling contests played on the Fair-haven gymnasium last Saturday evening. The girls' game ended in a tie, Normal winning in the overtime period, while the boys won by four points. About 1,200 spectators filled the bleachers and overflowed upon the playing floor. Whatcom led in the cheering before the game, but during the girls' game their ardor dampened. Whatcom came prepared to out-yell and out-play, but in the end was both out-yelled and out-played by Normal. When the Normal yelling was at top speed it took a pistol in the hands of the timekeeper to stop the game. NOKMAI, TAKES LEAD In the opening minutes of the game Whatcom was hopelessly overwhelmed.

Beryl White as a dainty little maid and Nora Schane as a poor invalid old lady carried their parts admirably. The ladies' quartette excelled even then-usual ability, both in music and costume. The minuet was a thing of grace and beauty, both the costumes and the dance. Prudence Parmenter, otherwise Mary McAnnally, played " Humor-esque," not upon the piano, but the harpsichard.

' GIRLS' GAME FAST The preliminary was a fast exhibition of girls' basketball. Elsie Minor and Geraldine Tyler, Normal forwards, played an exceptionally good game. In the first half it looked like Whatcom's game, but Normal rallied during the second half, making the 22 to 11 lead of Whatcom a tie by the end of the regular playing time. .The girls on both teams were tired out so the coaches agreed to give the game to the team scoring the first basket. Whatcom made innumerable shots at the basket and it looked like their game, but finally the Normal forwards got hold of the ball, Elsie Minor putting the ball through the basket for the winning score. Miss Minor played an exceptionally fine game, especially so when we consider that she had not had an opportunity to practice for at least a week, having just returned Saturday evening before the game from the trip to Cheney witli the debate team. The lineup follows: Normal: Geraldine Tyler and Elsie Minor, forwards; Stella Minich • and Romayne Gilbert, centers; Edith Cain and Irene Phillips, guards.

S. N. S. A century ago today occurred one of the irreparable disasters of literary history. We can think of Keats expiring in Rome only as we think of Marlowe stabbed in a tavern brawl and Shelley drowned off the Tuscan coast. He died obscure, under a sense of neglect, and, as his epitaph declares, in bitterness of heart. Most of the few who had heard his name would have agreed with Blackwood's that he was simply a youth who had left a useful trade to become a minor jjoet, who had published several little books without applause, and had succumbed to consumption. Not for a decade did his work begin to be known, and then it came to attention chiefly through Shelley's "Adonais." But seldom have five or six years of unen-couraged composition reaped such a reward. The lapse of the century has more than sufficed to show Keats in his true stature: a poet great in achievement, greater in influence, and, when we regard the magnificently sure, rapid advance between. "JEndymion" and "Hyperion,' 'a poet we much adjudge to have been potentially one of the very greatest of modern times. — B.S.N.S. The hair net that rules the waves of Miss America is in danger of extermination. The nets are made in China — right in the heart of the famine district - in the village of Cinfoo in the Shantung province. They are made by wives and daughters of the farmers, who do the work for 15 and 20 cents a day. That is the reason that these indispensable webs sell for a small price. The hair supply is not endangered, for millions of queues, cut off when China became a republic, have been stacked up for use in this industry. But the worry rests with the women who make the nets, for they are among the millions who are actually starving because they cannot even buy food with their earnings. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1921 March 4 - Page 3 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1921 3 Faculty Notes Dr. Weir spoke at Wickersham last Friday evening on community service, and at Mountain View last Tuesday.

MARATHON TO CHUCKANUT TO BE HELD APRIL 23RD Spring has come and already the call of the great out-of-doors is being heard, by many of the students of the Normal. Picnics, hikes and even mara-than races are being planned for the following quarter. Among the many events ahead is the annual marathon which is held by the students each year. The race will be held April 23rd. The marathon is not a race between individuals, but it is a race between the Junior and the Senior classes of the school. The object of the race is to see which class will have the most representatives at the top of Chuckanut Mountain in one day. Last year the Seniors won by a small lead over the Juniors, but this year keener competition is to be shown, thus making it necessary for -every student to enter the contest.in order that his class may win. The winning class will receive the cup given by the Herald for this purpose. Last year, students went up the sides of Chuckanut the night before the race in order to be there early in the morning to receive the other class members. Others started for the summit early in the morning, many leaving before daybreak. Many other events of this kind will take place this year, and it will be a good idea if all the students will keep this in mind when they return from their spring vacation.

Some are going into higher schools of learning and the others will either be teaching or perhaps taking a vacation until next fall. During their stay at the Normal, many of these students have been active in the life of the various clubs and plays. All have been loyal and faithful; supporters of all the activities of the Normal and their presence will be missed during the remainder of the school year. On behalf of the school, The Messenger takes this opportunity to wish for the graduates every-success in life with a happy and prosperous future. March 25 is the last day for the Klipsun campaign. Every Normal student who/wants an annual for this year must have it paid for by then. The Klipsun 'board also needs the money now so that they can pay up the bills as they come in and not have a number left on hand at the last minute. The sooner the bills are paid, the sooner the Klipsuns will be issued. Make it a point to pay for yours at once. See Mr. Erickson today. Due to a typographical error, the name of Mrs. Gaul was misprinted in the last issue of the Messenger. In a most interesting letter to Dr. Nash from her present home in Jamica, Mrs. Gaul's name appears as Mrs. Gaw. Mrs. Gaul will be remembered most happily by all, students who were here last year as a member of the modern language department and a teacher of Spanish. Twenty-five per cent of the teachers of Washington are now working under the terms of the Permissive Retirement Fund Law for first class school districts. Teachers in other districts desire that the provisions of this law be made statewide in its effect. Senate Bill No. 182 contains the same provisions that are now included in the present Retirement Fund Law for first class school districts and make them applicable to all teachers in the public school system of the State of Washington. Any teacher now employed in the public school system may be a member and the members of any existing Teachers' Retirement Fund may by a majority vote transfer their membership to the State Teachers' Retirement Fund. Each member wouuld be assessed $12.00 per year for the first ten years, $24.00 second ten years, and $36.00 third ten years. After thirty years of service, fifteen of which must have been in the state, $480.00 is received annually. After ten years of service, eight in the state, the annuity as many thirtieths of $480.00 as years of service is of thirty, for two years. After twenty years of service, twelve in the state the annuity is as many thirtieths of $480.00 as the years of service is of thirty during the time the member is incapicitated. The administration is in the hands of a board of trustees consisting of state superintendent of public instruction, the state insurance commissioner and three members of the fund, chosen by the state board of education. OH, OUR GLORIOUS BASKETBALL TEAMS! If the old saying, " pride goeth before a fall," is ever correct, we fear the Normal is certainly scheduled for a downfall. Why?

" Yes, we can tie a can," died on their lips, the " can " vanishing away into thin air. The apparition advanced in a sort of floating motion, neither slow nor fast but steady. Arriving alongside of the girls it nodded; and said, " Good night, girls," and drifted past. Was it the ghost of "Whatcom, departing after a hard fought game and' defeat?

It was at a reception, and Miss Killer's teacher, Mrs. Macy, stood at the blind "girl's side preparing her for each guest. " When I approached," says Dr. Fin-ley, " Miss Keller, catching my name, ' Finley,' and thinking I was Mr. Fin-ley Peter Dunne, said, in her staccato voice, ' How do you do, Mr. Dooley?'

It is the wheat, which growing wild Spreads 'round, luxuriant and mild. Wild cattle feed upon its freshness And the wild and lawless Tartar hoards Ride past and trample it to earth, Realizing little of its boundless worth. Onward the picture moves, But blurred and faint as distant lore. Entirely I lose it from my sight, Until suddenly again I see the wheat, And now it grows along the fertile shore Of the green Nile; and lying in the sheen Of sunlight, it did seem Fit food for Pharoahs ruling in their pomp. A glimpse I get of Joseph traveling far, Sent down to Egypt for the wheat, To return and lay it at his father's feet. And the picture, ever moving on, Showed me the women grinding at the cairn. Slowly together the two stones they turned, Carefully saving each powdered grain that fell. A slow and painful way it seemed to earn The flour needed for one's bread; But people then more slowly tread; They were content to do these things by hand; Their plow was then naught but a crooked stick. But the Nile's rich soil repaid them many fold With rich and boundless crops untold. Slowly moving across the screen, I see the picture further than unroll. The peoples of the countries further north, Painfully clear and cultivate the land And take from it, its e're enriching toll, The wheat, to make their daily bread, And then as now 'twas truly said, " Bread is the staff of life." But delve and work as best he could, Man could not raise mid all his strife, The needed seven bushels to sustain his life. 'Another change occurs. Timidly at first, And full of quams and ghastly fears, But prodded on by need of further lands, I see the men in cockle-shells of boats, Sail the wide ocean until the land appears. A land so new and unexplored and vast, But land, a place for homes was reached at last; More ground to clear where they could sow the wheat'; More room for homes for ever increasing man. And here proceeded to prepare the ground In which, from crops, new stores of wheat was found. Nature in countless ages past, As though preparing for the future needs of man, In those dark clays, when ice spread o'er the land, Had sent clown to those vast and level plains, Rich silts, as though it were her plan To prepare a garden spot on earth, Returns from which would well be worth The time that man in future days spent there In sowing and in harvesting the wheat. At all events she did prepare this field Which in the future years would give this yield. And still the reel moves on, Following the steady tread of time. The people that cannot} sustain their life In crowded Europe mid her narrow shores, Steadily Westward travel in long line, Across the ocean, to the promised land Where fertile fields lay ready to their hand. The pioneers faced loneliness and cold'1 And many hardships there untold, But they tilled and raised their fields of glowing wheat And year to year the crop they did repeat. And plenty filled the land. The people, one and all had bread to eat. The wheat was stored from year to year In elevators towering high, And one and all did then compete To raise the mighty crops of wheat. And when the dark and woeful days of war Spread o'er the earth its awful pall, And when to win the righteous cause, The soldiers must have bread to eat, Then we opened wide our mighty store, And sent the laden ships unto their shore. — MRS.

TRAINING SCHOOL NEWS The Junior High School at their last Wednesday assembly enjoyed a program by members. of their classes. The program was printed on little red hatchets. I t opened with the flag salute, followed by a poem, jokes, stories, piano solo and- a guessing game, all of which pertained to Washington's birthday or some patriotic event. Little Johnnie wrote the following story for his language lesson: "One day a big bear met Little Red Riding Hood as she was going through the forest and was just about to eat her when she yelled so loud a man came running up. " ' Let that girl alone!' yelled the man as loud as he could. "'Well, who are you?' growled the old bear. " ' I'm Jonah!' said the man. " ' Well, I don't care if you are,' the bear hollered, ' you can't do nothing with me, even if you try.' "'Can't I?' yelled Jonah. 'If you don't let her go right now, I'll set my whale on you!'

Here's wishing you good luck from the Messenger, Sam Carver and the team! * * # Mr. Hoppe, who had general supervision of the debating teams, spoke briefly in Friday's assembly on the work of the debaters. Mr. Hoppe thinks that this school should show much more interest in debating. He hopes that the clubs will stress debating the remainder of the year, that we may have a great deal of material for next season. . . - # • # * Miss Boring, who went to Cheney with the debating team, told some of the interesting features of that school at Monday's assembly. Miss Boring visited the special departments and described their work as well as the buildings. We felt that Cheney is much more fortunate than we when Miss Boring spoke of their dormitories. Miss Boring and her team were treated royally and had a very fine time. * * # Among the schools which Miss Keeler of the extension department visited last week was a rural school at River View. Its teachers are 100 per cent from the W. E. A. They are doing a fine work for the pupils in supervised play and in serving hot lunches daily. The school is well equipped for the needs of its teachers who are very efficient. One would wish there were more such schools in the state and indeed in every rural community. . «• * * "Are you Irish ? " ..

XX BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1921 NO. 22 OF EDITOR OF LOCAL PAPER GIVES INTERESTING ADDRESS The assembly hour on Wednesday proved to be of especial worth. Mr. Frank I. Sefrit, editor of the local newspapers, the Herald and the American Reville, spoke of the devastation of the forest on the Olympic Peninsula as the "Tragedy of Our American Forests." Mr. Sefrit visited this devastated area after the terrific storm of January 29 of this year. The facts he presented brought out the vital necessity for conserving our standing timber. " Eight billion feet of mature timber was swejit to the ground by the fearful velocity of the wind. This amount was estimated to equal eight thousand great shiploads," stated Mr. Sefrit. " The pulp timber destroyed amounted to eight years' supply of pulp timber for this county," was another statement. The immense use for wood pulp alone was of astounding (Continued on page 2.)

By OJ.GA K. BBOTNOV " Individuality, not uniformity, is the slogan of the Community Service drama," said Miss Florence Wilbur, dramatic expert of the Northwest Community Service, in an interview with one of the Messenger reporters. She went on to say that the training of the people in the community drama should begin at childhood and it is the duty of the teachers who go out from Normal schools to bring to the various communities the drama, especially American drama. It is the teacher's duty to establish a standard and develop a taste for worth-while plays in the community. In the dramas that are produced in the little communities all should take part — all are important in furthering the success of the play. The man who pulls'the curtain is as important as the leading man, for he must pull the curtains . better than anyone else. This brings in the unit work. Unit work is detail work — lighting, costuming, makeup, color effects — all are as important as the other. It means doing simple things well. As an example of this, take the Japanese Theatre in Seattle where all " little things" are worked out in the greatest detail. Miss Wilbur says that people are indolent and need leaders, so the Community Service is taking the work of training leaders. It is not the Service's duty to bring good speakers and plays here, but to bring out the talent of the people in the community — to bring out their acting, their original plays, to create their own costumes, scenery and all that goes to make up a play. The Community Service cannot do this overnight — no " stars " spring up overnight. It takes perseverance, ambition and a spirit of adventure. The people must first understand the drama and second, appreciate1 it. There is only one way to do this: to get in and take part. " People who have not had the enjoyment and thrill of helping in even the smallest way in a play have not lived and to learn is to learn through failures, not successes,' 'according to Miss Wilbur, who adds, " I'd rather be a sane optimist and have a failure now and then." Teachers must carry the highest ideals of the drama to the community in which they teach — combined with practical experience. In this work teachers must not " coax" anybody to take part. The work is to develop people's imagination and " play" spirit and coaxing hinders not helps this. The community drama is for those, who seek self-expression in the way that OF Eva Bond announced that two vacancies had occurred in. the board of control. Mrs. Edna Anstett was appointed to fill Bernice Day's place as secretaiy and Lucien Loring to take Clinton Pruner's place as student representative. Nominations may now be made for next year's board of control. B. S. N. S. PLAY COMING The Senior Class will soon present its annual play. Tryouts were held two days this week. The Senior Class is famous for its well presented plays and the school is eagerly awaiting for its presentation of " The Servant in the House." B.S. N.S. L City Superintendent Weidman gave a brief greeting to the students in assembly Wednesday. Mr. Weidman will teach at our Normal during the summer session. This opportunity to become further acquainted with Mr. Weidman is greatly appreciated by the students. B.S. N.S. •JUNIOR MIXER What! Ho! Ye Juniors who have "signed up" for the second group Junior mixer tonight in the large gym will hear the bones of the past rattle and the bells of the future ring. Games, a large program — eats! All that and more will be furnished to make up a real mixer. 2uost appeals to their individual personalities and it is up to the teachers to bring this " message " to all the people. This dramatic movement is not only of the Northwest, but it is international and is a growth of the Little Theater movement, which was established in America in 1912. Miss Wilbur is an admirer of Mr. Hoppe's work. She says he has all the feeling and spirit of the theater and that students here ought to be glad that they have the privilege of working with him. 210 HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS PAY VISIT TO NORMAL Y. W. C. A. CONFERENCE IS HELD — EXCELLENT PROGRAM "After High School, What?" was the subject under discussion at the.Y. W. C. A. vocational conference last week. Over 300 Senior girls from the high schools of Whatcom County attended the opening session. Frances Primer and Edna White were two of the 160 girls present from towns outside of Bellingham. There were several talks on the vocations open to women. Miss Knox of St. Luke's Hospital spoke on " Nursing and Medicine" and Miss Montgomery on " Teaching." " The Woman in Business" was the subject chosen by Miss Haverlo, who has charge of the personal department of the Bon Marche. On Saturday 210 girls visited Normal. A luncheon was served by the Collegiate Alumnae after which college exhibits were explained by Miss Woodard, Miss Cummings and Mrs. Roth. Ten of the Normal girls showed them about the building. B.S. N.S. E Formerly the requirements for a librarian have been four years of university work plus two years of post graduate work. But by late action of the faculty of the University of Washington those wishing to become librarians in this state may begin their preparation in the senior year. Thus the work may be completed by attending university the regular four years plus one instead of two years. This plan makes it much easier for those who wish to go from teaching into library work. B.S. N.S. PHILO BANQUET APRIL 9 The Philos will hold their annual banquet at the Leopold Hotel on April 9th. Committees are making preparations for this event which will surely be a great success.

Faculty Notes ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1921 March 25 - Page 3 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1921 THE YOUNG HOUSEKEEPERS The Young Housekeepers held a very interesting and profitable meeting at the dean's hour Wednesday morning. The different families had been working on the problem of a Normal girl's budget for the spring quarter. Nichols Hall arranged a budget for an allowance of $100 besides a supply of clothes. The majority submitted the following budget: Food, $45; rent, $22.50; school, $15.00; recreation and car fare, $10.00; clothes, $7.50. There was objection to this budget because it omitted two important items — philanthropy and incidentals. The girls who submitted the report declared there could be no reduction in any one item. The minority stood for the following changes: Food, $30; rent, $18; church and philanthropy, $G; clothes, $17.50; incidentals, $3.50. The girls in the Dodd home made out a budget for $200 for the third quarter as follows: Food $60; rent, ,$40; school, $14; church and philanthropy, $6; recreation, $30; clothes, $50. Objections were raised to the effect that the amounts for rent and recreation were too high and the amount for school was too low. Music or a course in art should be included in a budget of $200 it was claimed. Lillian Acorn played two numbers in her usual charming manner, "Autumn" by Chaminade and " Scherzo" by Men delssohn. B.S.N.S. • Rugby," " Deerslayer," "Gold Bug" and " House of Seven Gables." These are some on the required reading list.

We sure will feel proud of our Normal when the work is completed. Spring is here! B. S. N. S. APPROVED LIST OF READING Following are some points of interest from The English Journal regarding good reading, as taken from the Indiana course of study. These books are recommended by the State of Indiana: Ninth year —" The Man Without a Country," " Cranford," " Tom Brown at Eyestrain is a hindrance to study and efficiency that can be r e m o v e d by g l a s s e s fitted by Woll, the optometrist, 205 W. Holly. Following is an interesting article taken from the Manuelite of Kansas City, Missouri. "What can literature do for us?" asked Miss Adeline Pratt, librarian, of the Meyer Scribblers at the regular meeting of the club last week. " In the first place it is an outlet of expression. As Emerson said, ' Man is only half man, and the other half expression.' " Literature can give us this outlet. It can also keep before us the vision of the ideal. There is nothing so fatal as for a person to feel that he has reached the top. You can't go one more rung on the ladder after you are on the top one. The idea is what we think, but the ideal is what we strive for. ClTARACTEK KNOWLEDGE GAINED " Then too, we get a knowledge of human nature from books. In literature one meets characters carefully depicted. The more characters one is familial'' with the more able one is to cope with people and the world in general. " Shakespeare gave us 246 important and distinct characters, and every one of these characters brings out something important and definite." Among other things that literature does for us is to give us the glory of the commonplace and to acquaint us with the past, present, and future, according to Miss Pratt. It also helps us to get a better knowledge of our own language and a larger vocabulary. - VOCABULARY IS ENLARGED " Is there anything more wonderful than a mastery of your own language? It is from books and literature that we acquire a vocabulary. For instance, take the Manualite. A certain story had the word ' ego ' in it. Several persons came and asked me what it meant. They, added a number of new words to their vocabulary through that one word. Often one word explains whole sentences," Miss Pratt continued. "1921" CLASS PINS MULLER ASPLUND JEWELERS Next to First National Bank THE PALLAS The Home of Better Candies, Pastries Ice Cream BROWN'S STUDIO, Sunset Building Miss Pratt further declared that often historical novels give the individual more of history than the textbooks, because the novel fastens something definitely on the mind. One boy, she said, passed the history examination at Harvard with one of the highest grades. Most of his knowledge of history he gained from reading histoi'ical novels while still in the elementary school. EXCITEMENT IN NOVELS " You can get as much excitement as you want in the historical novel. Even the movies cannot replace them," added Miss Pratt. - A list of books which she believed would be beneficial to the students and an explanation of each was given to the members of. the club by the librarian. Morton Herber also spoke on Utopia and criticized the ideal city as pictured by Sir Thomas Moore. B.S.N.S. A lot of people are like goldfish.

The United States is putting forth every effort to give its people all the rich legacy of a happier, broader and purer world. The high schools are endeavoring to pave the way, through the classroom to a standard unsurpassed by none. As the urgent need for teachers grows steadily, it is necessary that they should be well trained in order to meet the demand. POETRY AND STUDENTS Many of us of the " younger generation " aspire for the heights of glory in many varied and interesting lines — journalism, art, law and poetry. In the latter line of work we find but few of our intimate friends, who in longing to express the beautiful, have found themselves capable of expressing fully their emotions — especially the more intimate feelings. They are afraid to allow their imagination to run " riot." In " hunting " for an original, imaginative poem of our literary students we have found a very excellent one which we take the pleasure of publishing. Miss Vida Scudder is the author, and the poem appeared in the 1920 copy of the Fairhaven High School publication, the Aurora. SPIRIT Out of a Great Mountain As an arrow from a bow shot Sprang a gushing river; white and pure, It rushed down in a torrent to the flats, Sparkling — impatient to reach the ocean. On the plains, it grew quiet, thoughtful, Far down, it came to the sea, its father. From a Mighty Source we springh Arrangements of clay intricately molded, In which the precious spark of life burns, Round we are whirled by this fancy, then that, Held and lead in the night by our teachers At all times with us — in thought or person. Vai'ious our aims and varying our pathways, Ending, at last in divine consummation, Nothing lost and all gained, as the Infinite planned it. SURPRISE Three days ago the garden paths were bare Of color; bleak vistas of rain-pressed mould, Glist'ning and dark, scattered with sodden leaves. But now a flock of crocuses are there, Bright in the winter sun, spilling their gold, And opening their fragile lilac sheaths. — G. RAWLENCE in Country Life, London. The March issue of the Exchange is out, containing the following attractive poem by Miss Cassie C. Cales, who in years past has contributed to the Messenger: DAWN The opal dawn steals o'er the earth, The world awakes with ease; The lightings of the sunrise-glow Stream 'cross the scented leas. The. kine are lowing in the field Red clover to their knees; The dew-hung webs of spiders gay Are glist'ning on the trees. Old Chanticleer wakes with a flap Of wings above his roost, As through the dusty pane he spies The lights the dawn has loosed. A smoke goes curling down the lane, As fires start for the day; As soon the chores are being done For dawn is on its way. — CASSIE C. CALES LIFE A crust of bread and a corner to sleep in, A minute to smile and an hour to weep in, A pint of joy and a peck of trouble, And never a laugh but the moans come double; And that is life. A crust and a corner that love makes precious, With the smile to warm and the tears to refresh us; And joy seems sweeter when cares come after, And a moan is the finest of foils for laughter; And that is life. — PAUL L. DUNBAR B. S. N. S. "AS A MAN THINKETH" If you think you are beaten, you are; If you think you dare not, you don't If you like to win but you think you can't, It's almost certain you won't. If you think you'll lose, you're lost, For out of the world we find Success begins with a fellow's will, It's all in the state of mind. If you think you're outclassed, you are; You've got to think high to rise, You've got to be sure of yourself before You can ever win a prize. Life's battles don't always go To the stronger or faster man; But soon or later the man who wins Is the man who thinks he can. — Exchange. ~ B. S. N. S. Build upon resolve, not upon ruinous regret, the structure of the future. Grope not among the shadows of old sins, but let thy soul's light shine upon the path of hope and dispel the darkness. Waste no tears upon the blotted record of lost years, but turn the leaf and smile, to see the fair white pages that remain to thee. — Selected. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1921 March 25 - Page 5 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1921 AT THE NEW DIRECTION OF JENSEN AND VON HERBERG MACK SENNETT'S STUPENDOUS SEVEN-PART COMEDY DRAMA Featuring Ben Turpin, Phyllis Haver, Marie Prevost, Charley Murray and an All-Star Sennett Cast. Kinogram News Liberty Orchestra 4 DAYS, STARTING ON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30 A BOOK FEAST "Say," said Fanny as she looked across the cafeteria table at me, "have you seen our new magazines in the library? Well, seeing that you shake your head, I'll give you just a bit of them. You," pointing her finger dramatically, "must read them. First of all there is the English Journal and a right good magazine it is, too. When Miss Wilson saw me glancing at it she came over and told me about it and the two other new magazines. The English Journal is for people who study English, for people who ever wish to write or those who ever expect to teach. One awfully clever article is ' Criticism — Getting It Over,' 1by Charles C. Hewitt and it is awfully clever and, say! I'm going to try out his way of criticizing too. ' The Writing of Poetry,' by H. T. J. Coleman, and 'Americanizing Through Local History,' by Ruth E. Henderson,, are intensely interesting and more than worth the reading. "Another new magazine is Current History, and Miss Wilson said that more people ought to read it because it is the most comprehensive and also is the best history on current events. She said that during the conventions this summer the Current History had the best accounts of them. In it, if I were you — oh! I'd read it all of course — but the ones ^1 had time to read were ' The Blue Laws in America,' by Frank P. Stock-bridge— it tells all about the blue laws, and it is sarcastic, humorous and very interesting. The Sabbath described by Rev. Mr. Peters is the best argument against the blue laws I have ever read — though funny. Besides being funny it is instructive and tells you all about the blue laws. Before I read it I realized but little of the significance of those laws. Of course I don't want to have you think that the Current History has nothing else in it, for it has — very interesting articles about things that are happening all over the world. It makes you feel that you're there and gives you a very good viewpoint of questions that mean so much all over the world." At this point, I interrupted Fanny and said very indignantly, " For goodness sake, Fanny, what about the magazines on art and also the other magazines with good short stories? Have you, Fanny, seen the new magazine called The International Studio? When I saw it I was lifted above this mortal care and very far away from psychology and lesson plans into the realm of art. Painting, sketches — oh, everything bea-u- ti-ful! And glorious articles that would, you say, smack of art, studios, beautiful things. I can't describe it, so you would better go and look at it for yourself. It's positively charming! " " That's like the Industrial Arts Magazine," said Fanny, " wherein the other is for people the artistic turn of mind, this is for a practical minded person — it has everything from pencil sketching to dressmaking — type and period furniture to mechanical drawing. It is for everybody." " Talking about everybody — well everybody ought to read the article by Philip Gibbs in the Harper's for March on the situation in Ireland. He is such a clever writer that the otherwise might-be dry article is as interesting to the one who loves novels to a great statesman." " Oh," said Fanny, " the Harper's also has stories by Sinclair Lewis and Chesterton, hasn't i t ?" " Yes, and you missed the story by Fleta C. Springer called ' The Mountain of Jehovah.' It is a marvelous story and I overheard Miss Wilson say that she expected to see it in the ' Best Short Stories of 1921!'" "Did she? Believe me, I'm going to read it, then." " Oh, Fanny, do you ever read the Scribner's, Atlantic, or Century, besides reading Harper's? If you don't you ought to be spanked! They have the finest articles besides having the best stories of all the magazines in the library." " Well, you fly-away person," said Fanny, " have you ever read the Saturday Evening Post? Of all things, don't pass over it because it only costs five cents — because some of the best writers have stories published in that all the time. The four articles by Lansing, former Secretary of State, are exceptionally good. " Speaking about great things, have you noticed the beautiful cover on the School Arts Magazine — and not only has it a beautiful cover, but it has gloriously beautiful illustrations as well as articles inside. Look at it as well as the articles by Lansing — for in order to be a good di])lomat, statesman, journalist — ay! even a poor trodden down teacher, read everything good that falls into your hands and let me state an enormously true fact — our library takes the most interesting and best magazines of any library here. Also, I'll whisper a little bit of most interesting news'— Miss Wilson is going to put on display all new books in the first case in the reference room. A list of new magazines will be there too. I think that's great because " and here a bell rang so we scampered off to psychology and lesson plans. B.S.

Some are dropping it altogether; others are retaining a few words only. The Pathfinder, in discussing the reform in a recent issue, said: " Language is a peculiar thing. It keeps growing and changing, but it doesn't like to be changed arbitrarily or have its growth directed by would-be reformers. Simplified spelling of the rational kind is making steady progress; but the reform can't be hurried too much; it has to take time." B. S. N. S.

XX BELLTNGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 1921 NO. 15 GIRLS' CLUB ENTERTAINS ASSEMBLY WITH INDIAN F A N T A SY Indians Are Up-to-Date Last Friday's assembly furnished a very enjoyable surprise for the students, in the idea of an Indian pow wow. The stage was transformed into a realistic looking forest in which the strangely dressed Indian figures glided about. The older Indians were joined by their children, who had returned from a white man's school, which we later recognized as the Bellingham Normal. They told of all the strange new things that they had learned. These educated children then gave a sample of a white man's program, by giving piano and vocal solos, followed by a history of the Club of Ohiyesa. As a closing to this clever program, all of the Indians gave a dance, accompanied by their club song. B.S. N.S. ART EXHIBIT AT OF INTERESTING DISPLAY OF PICTURES ARRANGED FOR BY COMMUNITY SERVICE An art exhibit that no Normal student can afford to miss is being held in the Chamber of Commerce rooms on Dock Street. An opportunity is given to see the famous Curtis collection of Indian pictures, that interested President Roosevelt so greatly, and that have long been a source of pride for the entire Northwest; also a. collection of the paintings of Paul Gustin, the well known artist who has done such beautiful western landscapes. Mr. Pratt, of Whidby Island, has lent his collection of Gustin pictures and Mr. Gustin himself has also agreed to send such pictures as are now in his studio in Seattle. Miss Druse, of our school, will show a collection of basketry and weaving and will have some looms. The Bellingham Women's Music Club will take charge of the musical programs for the afternoon and evenings of the exhibit, with the idea of representing the musical art (Continued on page 2.)

INGE CRACK WHATCOM QUINTET SUCCUMBS TO ONSLAUGHT OF " SAM " CARVER'S FAST MACHINE REPRESENTING BELLINGHAM STATE NORMAL SCHOOL Extra Period Is Required to Settle the Contest It was a real basketball game that was witnessed by about one thousand enthusiastic rooters last Friday evening, in the Whatcom High School gymnasium, when the Blue and White team from the Normal upset the Crimson ' dope pot" and ran up a score of 25 to 23. Much credit is due to the Whatcom team, which, though defeated, played a brilliant game and gave their superiors from the Normal a hard tussle for the coveted honors. NoRaiAr. FORGES AHEAD In the opening period Normal had everything her own way. Whatcom did not get started properly, and before the period ended, Normal was leading by a score of 12 to 4. Vanderford, Whatcom forward, was removed from the game after two minutes of play, due to an illness he developed a few minutes before the game started. CRIMSON STAGES RAIXY By the opening of the second period Vanderford's illness had so far abated that lie was able to re-enter the contest, replacing Gwynn, who had substituted for him during the first half. With his assistance Whatcom now played a first class game. First they tied the score, and not being satisfied with this, forged ahead by one field goal. With one minute left to play, Whatcom was leading by two points, when Herbert Yorkston, Normal forward, made a difficult shot, leaving the score at the end of the regular playing time a tie, 21 to 21. In the final five-minute period everything was going a!! top speed. Not only were the teams upon the floor doing their utmost, but five hundred Whatcom rooters were vainly straining their lungs in a final effort to drown out the opposing five hundred Normalites. In the midst of all the din Normal annexed four points to Whatcom's two, giving the game to the Blue and White by a score of 25-23. (Continued on page 2.) THE LITTLE IS PLAY THESPIAN DRAMATIC CLUB RENDERS ITS ANNUAL PRODUCTION Proceeds Help Klipsun One of the most entertaining events of the school year was the three-act play, " The Little Princess," presented by the Thespian Dramatic Club last Saturday night in the Normal School auditorium. All forgot that they were no longer children, for they were carried back to childhood in the clever dramatization of this play. They lived through the trials and joys of the little girl who was unloved and lonely, and rejoiced with her when her friends and happiness were assured. The honors of the evening went to Miss Bernadine Arant, who caught the spirit and charm of the part of the thoughtful and naive little heroine, and portrayed that character with credit, from her appearance as a real princess in act I up to the ragged urchin at the close. Especially realistic was her acting in the garret scene, when she gave (Continued on page 2.) • I [ MISS MORSE TO BE HEAD OF TRAINING SCHOOL DURING HER ABSENCE Miss Gertrude Earhart leaves for advanced work at Columbia University at the close of this week. Miss Morse will act as head of the training school in Miss Earhart's absence. On Wednesday night the supervisors working" under Miss Earhart gave a farewell dinner, in her honor at the Pheasant Tea Rooms. Not only did the good wishes of the entire corps of supervisors go with Miss Earhart for a happy and successful semester's work at Columbia, but she was also presented with a fountain pen by her assistants. The Messenger speaks for the student body when it wishes Miss Earhart all success in her work, but a speedy return to the Normal. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1921 January 28 - Page 2 ---------- 2 THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 1921 NORMAL MOPS FLOOR . WITH CRIMSON GORE (Continued from page 1.) NORMAL STUDENTS PARADE Before the game the Normal rooters marched, five hundred strong, from the heights of Sehome Hill, through town to the Whatcom gymnasium. . After the game they marched back home, ridding their. systems of all noise so that they might enjoy a pleasant night's slumber. The summary follows: Normal Jenkins... Yorkston Crum Inge (25) Whatcom (23) f Thomas f Vanderford c ..Taylor g Dawson Burpee g Holt Substitutions: B. Burpee for Holt; Gywnn for Vanderford; Vanderford for Gwynn second half, and Holt replaced Burpee; Inge banished on personal fouls second half, Antone Frank replacing him; Wright for Crum. Officials: McBeath, referee; Carver and Stewart, scorekeepers; Dwight Cone and Bus Frank, timekeepers. " KNIGHTS OF THE HENCOOP " WIN In a rather unusual preliminary contest the Normal's " Knights of the Hencoop " defeated the far-famed Whatcom " Knights of the Fork." Officials of the game are still disputing over the final score, but " F a t " Campbell claims a victory for the Normal " Knights " by a score of 173 to 4. On the other hand, Ole Triggvi of the Whatcom " Knights" claims a victory for his team by a like score. The Messenger does not wish to enter into disputes of this nature and leaves it for every, individual to decide for himself. The Normal " Knights " repudiate the name of " Curb Mudlarks " bestowed up- • on them by the genial sports writer for the Bellingham Herald and henceforth will be known as the " Knights of the Hencoop." This title is considered far more appropriate for men students at a normal school. CHENEY HERE THIS EVENING The Cheney State Normal basketball team will play us this evening in the Fairhaven Gymnasium. This game is one of the important ones of the year, for Cheney, being one of our sister Normal schools, is a natural rival. Cheney has a strong team, and if the picture which they have sent in advance tells a true story, they certainly are a husky set of players. The game will be played in the Fairhaven gymnasium as our own is too limited in seating capacity to accommodate the crowd that will be on hand to see the contest. The game will be called at 7:30. B.S. N.S. ART EXHIBIT AT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ROOMS (Continued from page 1.) of the community, with Mrs. L. E. Miller acting as chairman. Mr. Weir, of the extension department of the Normal School, is in charge of this with many assistants. It is seldom such a collection has visited Bellingham, and Normal students who have not already seen it, should do so while they have the remarkable opportunity. The exhibit closes Saturday night, but is open every afternoon until then. B.S. N.S.-^— WRITE A STORY — WIN A PRIZE " THE LITTLE PRINCESS " IS CHARMING PLAY (Continued from page 1.) full play to imagination and fancy. Her part called for talent and careful preparation, and Miss Arant acquitted herself so well it is hoped she will again appear in Normal productions. Frances Durham as Becky, the scullery maid, interpreted a trying role with originality and humor. Mildred Maule as Emengard was a typical clumsy little girl who disliked books. Edna An-stett, Pauline Noll, Mary Collins, Mary Marie Dewey, Esther Cook and Pauline Bornstein gave a very pretty dance. Archie Erickson as Mr. Carmichael showed strong character work and a stage presence that was admirable. Charles Powell as Mr. Crawford was a Capital sick gentleman who later proved a real friend to the princess. Sydney Smith as Lottie gave an inimitable rendering of the part. Indeed, all parts were taken fittingly and reflected great credit upon the Thespians. Great credit was due Mrs. Smith who directed and presented the play, assisted by Miss Pauline Bornstein, instructor of the dance. Music for the evening was furnished by Miss Sara Schuman, accompanist Miss Ruby Altose, Miss Gladys Weir and the Presbyterian Church orchestra. B.S. N.S. THE KI.IPSUN WANTS A COVER DESIGN B.S. N.S. A Hiking Club to be Organized Now that spring is approaching, murmurs of a Hiking Club are in the air. So many worth while and beautiful hikes may be taken about Bellingham, all students who love the out-of-doors should fall in line and follow leader. Last Saturday morning a number of Normalites took Sunset Trail to the South Side, crossed Happy Valley to the Interurban track, followed it to High Bridge, thence down Chuckanut Creek to the bay. An inviting cove at Chuckanut Point served admirably for setting of a breakfast of bacon, eggs and coffee. The view was wonderful. The " dorm" was reached on the return, in time for dinner. B. S. N. S. LITERARY PROGRAM AT SEDRO-WOOLLEY The Normal is furnishing an interesting program for the. literary department of the Women's Clubs of Sedro- Woolley. The meetings will be held the .second and fourth Wednesdays of February and March. On February 9, Miss Baker will speak on "A Campaign of Seventy-five Years"; on February 23, Miss Edens talks on " Modern Poetry "; on March 9, Miss Cummins will speak on " Social Unrest," and " Modern Literature " will be Miss Woodard's subject on March 23. B.S. N.S. KLEMME LECTURE IS WELL RECEIVED HEADQUARTERS FOR The lecture given by Mr. Klemme in the high school auditorium last Wednesday evening, was enjoyed by the large crowd present.

A certain student who entered school at the beginning of the present quarter was unused to the ways of a big school and the crowded halls, having come from one of your small sagebrush villages. Stranded on the second floor of the main building, she did not know how she got there nor how she was to get out. But up stepped a kind Senior, saying, "What's the trouble?" Soon he had her safely started on the right stairs which led to the main exit. Tales could be told at random of the good deeds of the older students in directing the green ones to the Co-Op., to the dean's office or Miss Mead's room; or of the passing of such remarks that the Messenger box was not a mail box, and that rubbers left in the hall were apt to be missing.

TO THIRD OF SERIES IS TO BE GIVEN HERE ON 4TH OF FEBRUARY Friday evening, February 4, the third of the Lincoln series of pictures, under the auspices of the Klipsun board, will be shown in the auditorium. These pictures are very interesting and of great educational value to both students and teachers. It is desired that we have a full house next Friday as the proceeds will go to the Klipsun fund. General admission will be 15 cents and training school pupils 5 cents. PRIZE IS OffERED FOR E CASH PRIZE OF $2.50 WILL BE GIVEN FOR THE BEST DESIGN Are you artistically inclined? If so, this is your golden opportunity to inscribe your name in the hall of fame. The Klipsun wants a cover design, a real cover design, that will carry with it the meaning of the word Klipsun. What does Klipsun mean, you ask? It is an Indian word, signifying "the setting sun." In order to' enlist the interest of all students who. have any ability in this line, an incentive has been offered in the form of a $2.50 cash prize, but of far more value than this is the honor that comes to a student in having his or her work selected as among the best in the school. The faculty members of the art department and the art editor of the Klipsun wil lact as judges. The Klipsun board has set a time limit of three weeks to this contest as it is their hope to have most of their engraving work completed before the engraving plant is flooded with the work of innumerable high schools.

" School district boards never can be as efficient as would be county boards of education functioning as the Seattle school boards does for this municipality. " What would this city think of a system under which its territory was divided up into wards, each ward hanlding its own school affairs, financing its own school construction, hiring its own teachers and purchasing its own supplies? "Foolish and impractical? Undoubtedly — yet, not more so than the present system, under which school district boards function for small districts just as ward boards would function in Seattle under the scheme outlined above. The biggest need of rural education in this state is centralization of control in county boards that will give to pupils, some, at least, of the educational advantages city pupils derive from urban school boards. " Thus only can the standards of the teaching corps be raised, economy be practiced in the purchase of supplies, the right kind of school buildings be provided and the character of the instruction be maintained at a high level. " The county unit plan is practical and desirable. If the State Legislature were to do no more than this for education in this state — and the Times is confident it will do much more — it would have advanced this worthy cause immeasurably by instituting such a system." WHERE IS OUR NEW GYM? "Chew 'em up, Eat 'em up, Clean 'em up fair; Whatcom, Whatcom, Up in the air." This may have been what we yelled en route to Whatcom Friday evening, but we must admit we were surprised. Certainly Coach Leonard Anstett deserves great credit for the wonderful, square game which his team played. The boys showed that they had been very well trained and we congratulated them upon their splendid work. Our own coach, Mr. Carver, deserves just as much praise for the work of our own quintet. How many times have we come to a basketball*game and gone away saying, " I didn't get a chance to see it all; someone stood in my way and stepped all over me? " I am sure many of iis have said this at some time during our stay here at the Normal. No, it was not the fault of the other person who had come to see the game, for he, too, no doubt, had trouble in getting a view. It was the fault of the gym. It is too small! Too small for the school and too small for the City of Bellingham. It is with regret that we have to listen to people talk about our little " band box on the hill," as most of the Bellingham sportsmen call it. Other schools send teams here to play and in many cases these teams carry bad impressions away because of our two-by-four gym. One member of a team which recently visited the school said that we had a million dollar school with a five-cent gymnasium. The Bellingham Normal is a state institution supported by the State of Washington and yet it is hard for us to get a gym which will in any way compare with some of the little school gymnasiums out in the counties. It is about time that some step should be taken to procure a sum of money from the egislature to erect a building that will compare with most gymnasiums of the first class schools of the state. Owing to the fact that the members of the first semester classes of the local high schools have just received their diplomas, a number of the students of these classes have started to the Normal. Thus the enrollment of our school has been increased. We are very glad to have these people in our student body and extend a hearty welcome to them. The following editorial published recently in the Seattle Times is very much to the point. It gives a very reasonable viewpoint of the proposed legislation regarding the county unit: " The County Unit Plan, contemplated by the state educational code, is a long step in the direction of a very necessary reform. " It centralizes authority in rural educational affairs and assures a more efficient and a more economical administration of rural schools. Something more than an interesting and wortli while lecture event with Miss Baker's appearance on the platform, when she spoke on the seventy-five years' fight for suffrage. Perhaps all in the school don't know it, but Miss Baker herself was no. small influence in swinging Washington as one of the first suffrage states. Her liberal point of view, her graciousness and her logic won adherents to the cause wherever she spoke, in the days when to be a " suffragette" was a term of reproach. She now sees visions of greater service for women with the vote. Her steadfast courage in this cause is an inspiration to all girls. STUDIO ART CLUB The Studio Art Club held its regular meeting Thursday, January 20. The girls are doing handwork in textiles, consisting of bags, bureau scarfs, pillows and dress accessories, such as collar and cuff sets, girdles, etc. Each member brought her work, and the time was enjoyably spent working and chatting. Delightful and unexpected refreshments consisting of big red Delicious apples, were served by Miss Druse. B.S..N. S. THE KLIPSTTN WANTS .

She spoke of the condition of Christianity in America and told how the people of this country should strive to better it.

Just as the game between the boys' teams was very close last week, it is expected that this game will probably be the most exciting of the season for the girls. They need the support of the entire student body and it is hoped that the Whatcom gym will be as well filled tomorrow as it was last week. These girls are playing for the Normal are: E. Cain, N. Jeffcott, I. Phillips, S. Minnick, E. Smith, P. Born-stein, G. Tyler, E. Minor, A. Dibble and P. Whitmore. The game is called for 8:15 and the general admission is 25 cents. B.S.N.S.

If you have been following the nonsensical things that have been said in this column you ought to know by this time where the different papers are printed and by what school. This will relieve ye editor of a lot of .work on the typewriter (it tires his delicate hands so!) and will give us more space in which to say things, both good and bad, about our exchanges. They probably will be mostly good from now on, as we will feel in in a better mood if we have less work to do. The idea is not our own — we borrowed it from Mr. Kolstad. Not long ago Miss Wilson put some interesting questions to her library instruction class, and received amazingly different answers. We quote a few of the questions and answers: Question — "What is your most important idea acquired since entering Normal? " The following six answers are taken from the long list: 1. "There is no place like home." 2. "Shift for yourself." 3. " Be cheerful." 4. " Fair play." 5. "Friendship is what is most worth while." 6. "No normal school can manufacture teachers." Second question —" In what present day problem are you interested? " 1. "Y. W. C. A." 2. " Farmer-Labor movement." 3. " Oriental alien question." 4. " Importance of school play." 5. " Reconstruction in Europe." 6. " ' Back to farm' movement." Third question — " In what work save teaching are you vitally interested ? " 1. " Home making." 2. "Telegraphy." "Library work." " Dramatics." " Music." " Informant in a depot." Fourth question — "Who is your favorite humorist? " 1. "O'Henry." 2. "Holmes." 3. " Mark Twain." 4. "Walt Mason." 5. "Dickens." 6. "Riley."

Wei can perform an act of real mercy, if we buy a roll of films, insert it into our camera and proceed! The method of procedure is as follows: Pose your favorite roommate, your favorite view or stage an original stunt; step forward a few feet, turn your back impolitely to the sun, and " shoot! " Turn the printed result over to the Klipsun staff, and earn their eternal gratitude. Smiling has very nearly been taken up as a profession in this vicinity. The cause for this alarming fact is — pictures again! Everywhere we have turned these last few weeks we have seen groups of smil-ers at their best. Later on, every page we turn will be a series of smiles. Before long will come the graduation of March Seniors. After we relieve ourselves of the responsibility of guiding them over the rocks of commencement, and bid them an affectionate adieu, we may turn our thoughts summerward. A message from the blue, blew down with rumors that maybe some day in the future it wouldn't rain. If this be true our tennis courts will eventually emerge as dry land again. In that case work will commence for the preparation of tournament tennis stars. We shall now consider the subject of study. Very soon class rooms and libraries will have wide open windows through which gentle breezes will enter, play about and try to entice us out of doors; but we all know, " Duty before pleasure," and so remain until our work is finished. Groups of energetic students will be seen on porches after dinner, all made comfortable in rocking chairs, well supplied with pillows, sociologies, psychologies and al Ithe other ology books. Now the question is, why are? all those people assembling on the campus? It isn't an everyday event. It happens annually for our May fete. We see lines of black clad figures going through the intricate movements of drills, marches and folk dances. The stately May pole and its charming weavers and last, the fairy robed figures in the fantastical motions of a fancy dance, present a spectacle the like of which has not been seen since psychologies and all the other ology Other things in view are the Senior and Junior plays. The inter-Normal debates, wherein Bellingham, wins the Allison cup. Following this the May Seniors have the arduous task of guiding themselves, for they are alone now remember, over the shoals of valedictory speeches, class wills and class prophecies. Thus completes our resume of the last two quarters of the school year, and we beg permission to bring to a finish this calendar. We wonder who will refuse us that request? B.S.N.S.

THE KLIPSUN WANTS A COVER DESIGN SCHOOLMASTERS OF NORTHWEST MEET FACULTY MEMBERS ATTEND A MEETING HELD AT SEDRO-WOOLLEY Among the members of the Normal who were present at the meeting of the Northwestern Schoolmsaters' Association held recently at Sedro-Woolley were Mr. Bever, Mr. Kolstad, Mr. Rice, Mr. Kibbe and Dr. Miller. Among other important matters considered at this meeting was the new Senate Bill No. 10. The Senate Bill No. 10 is the new educational code which was recently drawn up by a committee appointed by Governor Hart. Among those present who spoke on the code was Mr. Weidman, superintendent of the Bellingham schools; Mr. Nealy, assistant superintendent of the state; Mr. Burrows, superintendent of the King County schools, and other well known educators of the Northwest. Mr. Weidman in his address gave a complete analysis of the code. Mr. Nealy also analyzed the code, arguing against it, while Mr. Burrows, a member of the code commission, argued very strong for it. Others present also expressed their views on the new proposed bill. The body as a whole endorsed the following three points. First, that the superintendent of the state should be appointed by a committee of seven members; second, that a county unit should be established, and third, that the 30- 10-15 provision should be adopted. The 30-10-15 provision has to do with the taxation question. The bill as a whole was not accepted by the association, but it is expected that a few changes will be made in the bill before it becomes a law. The teachers of the Normal at their meeting Tuesday, endorsed the bill. B. S. N. S.

At their regular assembly on Wednesday morning, about twenty-five students of the grammar grades gave one-minute talks on the subjects which they enjoyed most during the past semester. Nearly every department of the school was represented. The supervisors of the training school were very busy last week making out reports and report cards for promotion day which occurred on Friday. Many smiling faces were seen among the students as' they were promoted to the next high grade.

XX BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1921 NO. 16 DEATH CAUSED By ACCIDENT The entire community of Bellingham was deeply shocked at the sudden and tragic announcement that Ida Agnes Baker had been killed in a collision with a Garden Street car, on the evening of Saurday, January 29. The exact circumstances of the death will probably never be known. In company with her old friend, Mrs. Alice M. Biggs, Miss Baker had attended a meeting of the League of Women Voters at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Nichols, on Laurel Street, Saturday afternoon; at its conclusion she had turned toward her home, alone. The storm which caused such destruction in the entire Puget Sound district that night was then at its height, the wind driving in fearful gusts and the rain, cutting like blinding hail. Whether Miss Baker did not see the approaching car, in crossing at Laurel, and plunged directly ahead of it, or whether she was overcome by the storm and lost con- (Continued on page 2.) DISMISSED IN OF MISS BAKER On Monday,- January 31, the first assembly after the death of Miss Baker, Dr. Nash announced no school would be held Wednesday, in honor of the departed member of the faculty. Many students of the school had not heard of her death and their first intimation came when they beheld the beautiful spray of carnations over her seat in assembly, the second from the end in the second row. This tribute, so expressive of Miss Baker's love of flowers, was provided by the faculty. The flowers were transferred to her door and hung there until after the funeral. Dr. Nash, who had been in the southern part of the state, could not be reached by telephone on account of the terrific storms over the week end. He read the announcement in a Seattle paper, while in Olympia Sunday. He immediately departed for home, reaching Bellingham Monday morning. He deeply regretted the necessity of his return to Olympia, before the funeral. Rev. Marshall, who had been invited to speak in assembly, paid beautiful tribute to Miss Baker. He brought out forcefully the idea that one should so live physically, mentally and morally to meet the hour of death — and that Miss Baker had so lived. _ Although deeply moved, • Dr. Nash (Continued on page 7.) IDA AGNES BAKER, BELOVED MEMBER OF NORMAL FACULTY, WHO HAS SERVED OUR SCHOOL FOR TWENTY-ONE YEARS Ope your doors and take me in, spirit of the wood! Wash me clean of dust and din, clothe me in your mood. Take me from the noisy light to the sunless peace, Where at midday standeth Night singing Toil's release. All your dusky twilight stores to my senses give; Take me in and lock the doors, show me how to live. Lift your leafy roof for me, part your yielding walls: Let me wander lingeringly through your scented halls. Ope your doors and take me in, spirit of the wood! Take me — make me next of kin to your leafy brood. — ETHELWYN WETIIERALD The above poem, a favorite of Miss Baker's, and which she chose to be read at her mother's funeral, sounded the spirit of the simple but beautiful services held at her home, 418 High Street, Wednesday, February 2, at 2:30 o'clock. The little house, so charmingly surrounded by flowers and shrubs of her own planting, was not large enough to hold her many friends. The casket was placed in a bed of moss, surrounded by a profusion of flowers. The Alkisiah girls, dressed in white, stood in the hall and on the stairs. A quartet of Normal students, Pearl Ingals, Ethel and Marion Chisholm and Ellen Ileep, sang " Like a River." Rev. Baker, of the Unitarian Church, read " Crossing the Bar" by Tennyson and " The House of the Trees " by Wether-ald, and sj: gt;oke words of appreciation regarding the life and character of Miss Baker. Mrs. Vincent closed the services with a beautiful vocal solo. The pallbearers were Prof. J. T. Forrest, Cbas. Scarf, of Seattle; Mr. E. Scott, Rev. Eddy, Mr. Bever, senior member of the Normal faculty, and Wm. Boyd, representing the students. The flowers were especially lovely and largely expressive of Miss Baker's particular delights. The Normal faculty sent an immense spray of pink roses, with a background of paper white narcissi, ferns and chiffon; the Students' Association a mammoth bouquet of sweet peas and fresias; the Alkisiah Club the emblem of their society outlined in jonquils, violets, roses and ferns. Beautiful floral tributes were expressed by the Unitarian Alliance, the League of Women Voters and personal friends. OF MISS BAKER One of the rarest flowers is missing from life's garden. Ida Agnes Baker has been taken. Our friend was deeply interested in life and inspired her students to understand and appreciate the wonders of nature. She loved dumb animals and labored to protect them from abuse, but she loved more her fellow being and endeavored to widen the circle of human happiness. She believed in her school and gave her best talents to aid in its advancement. She was industrious and never spared herself when there was work to ba done. She showed herself friendly and was surrounded by myriad friends. She was wise in giving counsel and commanded the confidence and respect of her associates. She lived a beautiful life and has earned a rich reward. She is gone but will live in the lives of those she ljas left behind. (Continued on page 2.) PASSED BY FACULTY Trie faculty of the Bellingham State Normal School, wishing to express their grief and their sense of loss, both personal and professional, in the tragic death of Miss Ida Agnes Baker, and also to convey their sincerest sympathy to her relatives and friends, have ordered to be prepared and published the following memorial: In the twenty-two years of her connection with the work and life of this school, Miss Baker made an indelible impression upon the lives and memory of its host of teachers and students. Her position may be filled by another, but her place we feel will always be vacant. Yet we are glad to testify to the conviction that the spirit and ideals of her life will continue to live and to bless this school. In all her professional relations, Miss Baker was marked by unchanging love of the school and unfailing loyalty to its best ideals and traditions. She stood for high standards of scholarship and of professional achievement, and these standards she enforced in her own professional life. We gratefully remember her for her broad sympathies, which included every living thing. She understood young people and enjoyed the beauty, the freshness and the zest of their lives. She (Continued on page 7.) ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1921 February 4 - Page 2 ---------- 2 THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1921 DEATH CAUSED BY ACCIDENT (Continued from page 1.) trol of her direction, is uncertain. She was struck fatally, and never regained consciousness. Taken immediately to St. Luke's Hospital, she died there an hour later. Mrs. E. E. Scott, a life-long friend, Miss Catherine Montgomery, Miss May Mead, the Normal School nurse, were summoned and were with her when death came. Telegrams were sent to her sister, Mrs. Ben Hubbard, of Madison, Wisconsin, and to' her brother, Ralph Baker, of Eagle Bluff, - Iowa, but neither were able to be present , at. the funeral. Both Miss Baker's parents are dead. Much of the intimate side of Miss Baker's life is given in a sketch " Why I Became a Teacher," which she contributed to the Messenger four years ago, and which is reprinted in this issue. Born in the little town of Pella, Iowa, she attended public school there, and later graduated from Central University, with the degree of Master of Arts. Then she came West and taught in Chehalis, Washington, for three years. She joined the staff of the Bellingham Nor- .. mal in the fall of 1899, at the organization of the school. With the exception of the year 1915-16, which was spent in travel in Eastern cities and Cuba, Miss Baker has taught continuously at the Normal for twenty-one years. She has played' no small part in the organization of our school. The present splendid departments of nature study and forestry are the result of her indefagitable labors. She organized the Alkisiah Club and has been its only sponsor. The planting of shrubs on the campus at Arbor Day, the placing of bird houses in the trees on the campus, the idea of a bird sanctuary on Normal Hill are all her inspirations. But her liberal sympathies and acute interest in social welfare extended far beyond the limits of our school. The first suffrage club in Bellingham was organized by Miss Baker and she worked tirelessly for the cause until Washington joined the suffrage Tanks; she was one of the organizers of the Women's Good Government League, and was at her death a member of both the League for Women. Voters and the Business and Professional Women's Club. She was affiliated with the National Suffrage Association. Always greatly drawn toward a study of animal and bird life, she early became a member of the National Humane As-J sociation, and a worker in the local organization. She was one of the original members of the P. L. F. Club, which is associated with the State Federation of Women's Clubs. An active member of the local Unitarian Church, for a number of years, she was organist and taught in the Sunday School. Miss Baker was closely in touch with the National Department of Forestry and has contributed many articles on out-of-door life to magazines. " Women Tramping in the National Reserve" appeared in the Forestry Magazine. For a number of years she was a constant contributor to the Midland Review, Iowa. Despite her lively civic interests and the heavy duties of her school work, she beautified her home on High Street, until the yard is now a splendid collection of evergreen shrubs; and her summer home on Lummi Island, ideally situated, has on many occasions been the happy retreat of her friends and students. B.S.N.S. • APPRECIATIONS OF MISS BAKER (Continued from page 1.) May her abundant life inspire us to nobler service! — G. W. NASH When the continuity of life is suddenly broken our wounded sensibilities, at first, suffer a shock which seems greater than they can bear and we might remain in confusion and despair were it not for the lifting of the curtain of personal feeling and the discovery that in every sorrow we are given the opportunity to extend our sympathy and make the most inclusive recognition of the real service of friendship which death does not destroy but may even make more real. To a remarkable degree Ida Agnes Baker possessed the pre-eminent quality of strength in character. One of the greatest accomplishments in life is the development of character, for it is characer. which continues to make itself felt when everything else is changed. Miss Baker discovered her friends and her friendly interests as if she had always known them. They might not be aware of her presence but she met them as if she had been waiting for them to discover her and discover that she was with them. This attitude made her at once modest and unassuming and at the same time expressed a treasure of steadfastness that was sacred. To her, to give allegiance to her profession,, to her faitli and to the causes which appealed to her best judgment and reason was equivalent to identification and support which was as long as life itself. And in her choices she witnessed such confirmations of progress and success that had her days been longer age could not have brought more abundant fruit. The joy she had in all that meant most to her in thought and possession was held as though in trust. She most enjoyed the joys she shared and in harmony with the Divine Compensation as she received even more abundantly. In' accounting for the things that were specially interesting to her it was conspicuous that her greatest enthusiasm came in bringing the subject up to date. Her natural hopefulness and confidence showed itself and it was clear that she readiness with which she estimated the value of present realizations made her the more willing and able to sense the direction in which the next sure insight must come. Sometimes in impatience with the conventions and indifference which opposed the largest acceptance of some new truth we must believe she only shai-ed the dissatisfaction which exists in the Spirit of God when human beings ignore the Highest Will. Responsiveness is always indicative of character and though it would be Miss Baker's part to make but modest claim, her life will ever be remembered for the steadfast, unselfish and progressive response it gave to the voice of God which spoke to her in so many ways. The touch of a flower, the beauty in sea and land, music from its many fountains and the call for the recognition of rights and worship found her always, a noble, consecrated woman, ready to serve. The example of her fine determination will always be an inspiration to those who knew her. In speech we saw her touched with an inner intensity which gave a slightly rising inflection in her tone, but her words fell with a precision and delicacy which we know the sincerity and sweetness of her soul kept secure. — N. ADDISOX BAKER February 1, 1.921. Miss Baker was my fellow-worker and my friend. Her life has given to mine what is beyond the expression of mere words. Miss Baker lived. What the poet sang of life, she embodied daily in her relations with people, her activities, and her interests — "And the manner to dispose of it Is just to pluck the rose of it When first the rose is born. * # # * # — there is fire in every coal of it And hope is in the soul of it And never a word of fear. So then we love the whole of it For as long as we are here." This dauntless, eager, untiring zest for truth ever led her into newer fields and HEADQUARTERS FOR Groceries, Fresh Fruit, Vegetables and Bakery Goods. We make a specialty of Fancy Cakes to Order. M.

She never lost the gift of wondering. Her enthusiasm was always vital. Her days meant growth. Her life-long study of the secrets of all growing things, colorful blossoms, hidden mosses, stately trees; shy, singing birds, imparted to her personality the serene, abiding charm of Nature's rarest flowers. Like them, she gave of herself, and like them, she asked nothing in return. She never failed her friends. Her relations with people were characterized by sincerity, fairness, justice, exquisite kindliness and courtesy, and a vision that was spiritual in its insight. As a teacher, she did not teach perfunctorily or without joy. She did not merely impart knowledge. She held as her ideal the development of the individual. She wanted to inspire each student to take his full share of active A^ork of the world. She respected youth profoundly. She had faith in them. As a member of the faculty she leavened our work with timely wisdom, impersonal motives and the crushing out of pettiness. She lifted for us high ideals i.nd standards. She had the ability and determination to see the full length and breadth of all questions. In the purpose and future of the school, she had great faith. She developed it largely, laying many foundation stones. As a citizen, she was an indefatigable, and deeply conscientious student of social problems, local, national and of the world. She actively championed all movements that made for the betterment of people, whether physically, economically, educationally or spiritually. She was not afraid of the loneliness of thinking beyond her generation, or of adverse criticism. Neither was she intolerant of those who disagreed with her. She did not seek personal fame. She had great faith in men and women. She gave largely to humanity, to the young and to the old. She taught us many things. Probably the greatest are these: To be reverent. To be joyous. To grow. To be spiritual-minded. And just being herself, she taught us the greatest of all — to love. — MABET. ZOE WILSON "A perfect woman, nobly planned To warn, to comfort, and command." " When she had passed, it seemed like the ceasing of sweet music." Having a clear intellect, she weighed every problem with sound reasoning and decided with absolute justice; yet with a heart full of love and mercy. Always ready, without ostentation, to be of use to those about her. A devoted daughter; a model sister; a wise counselor and friend; a sharer of her home with the homeless. From earliest childhood the love of nature has been instilled into her by her surroundings of trees, shrubs, and flowers in great variety. In such a sanctuary, and under her care and protection, the native birds of every variety have found safe nesting places to rear their young. She knew them all by name and note. She saw beauty in every plant and flower and rejoiced in the song of every bird. Her pure soul and great heart took in all nature, and in all nature she saw God. — MR. AND MRS. J. T. FORREST MISS BAKER To me the dominant note in Miss Baker's life was love of nature in all its forms from the lowliest inanimate object to her fellow human beings. Mountain and vale, the ever-changing light and shade and color of the landscape, tinted sky and billowy c|loud, golden sun and silver moon and star were all sources of perennial interest and joy to her. Trees, flowers, plants and animals were as her daily companions and friends. • But her range of interests was too wide and her heart was too big not to include boys and girls, men and women. So Miss Baker has been actively identified for many years with the work of humane education in the schools and movements striving for the equalization of economic opportunities and of political privileges of men and women. She always stood ready to lend a hand in any effort which was being made to abolish any form of injustice and to add to the sum total of human happiness. If the young people who have come into contact with her in the class room andi in other ways have grasped the significance of her life, as I believe the most of them have, her benign influence will continue to radiate through the years to come and will be a force for human betterment and happiness among hundreds who were not privileged to know her in person. — H. C. PIIII.IPI'I As one of the students who knew the much loved Miss Ida Agnes Baker from the first day the Normal School opened its doors, and who valued her friendship among the dearest. I desire to express my personal appreciation, and also that of the entire Alumni Association, of her as teacher and friend. To all those who were students of the Normal during the time Miss Baker gave so willing and faithfully to our Alma Mater, her passing means a loss beyond compare, but one which, because she will ever live in our hearts and minds, draws us in closer touch with all the better and more beautiful things of this and the future life. Miss Baker was always friendly and kind, inside and outside schoolroom, to the students; alike to young and old, man or woman, lonely or gay, discouraged or buoyant, thoughtful or thoughtless. Her words, deeds or smile gave the balm most needed to make the world seem right. Little did she realize how far reaching and helpful her wholesome influence and teachings would be. No graduate or student but what as he sits and ponders upon past years at Belling-ham Normal, has pass through his mind some — yea, many — incidents which endear Miss Baker's memory to him forever. — Mus. ETHEL EVERETT MUXX '04, President Alumni Association I hae known Miss Baker as a student, as a fellow-worker and as a friend. In each relationship she has inspired me toward broader standards and a keener appreciation of the true value of life. She was a great teacher because she put faith in her students; she was an inspiring fellow worker because, ardently as she believed in a course, she tried to be just with opponents; she was a true friend because' she gave courage and sympathy in trouble. Her desire to " live and let live," to judge by motives rather than results, to champion a cause, however unpopular, because she thought it was right, has left an ineradicable influence upon those associated with her. Any one- who carries to success as many ideas for social betterment as Miss Baker, merits admiration; but she achieved more than admiration—she was loved. — OLIVE EDENS B. S. N. S. MISS BAKER'S LAST EVENING WAS SPENT WITH ALKI-SIAH GIRLS In response to a request from Miss Olive Watson, a teacher at Glendale and a former Alkisiah, the present club gave a program at her school Friday night, January 28, the proceeds of which went to pay school indebtedness. Tired as Miss Baker was from her duties of the week, she entered into the spirit of the entertainment and, as always, proved a delightful chaperone when out with the girls. The program included instrumental music, vocal solos and choruses, and a little play "A Lunch in the Suburbs."

The wild birds trilled for her, The sunshine danced for her On shimmering pool. And breezes cool, Their brimming cups of perfume Spilled upon the brim of day. So down the! long, sweet path of life She wandered, Gathering, culling, hoarding all Tilt with heart full and soul full Of all the sweets of life, She entered in — And laid them at His feet. . " Something more than an interesting and worth-while lecture went with Miss Baker's appearance on the platform, when she spoke on the seventy-five years' fight for suffrage, last Monday. Perhaps all students of this school do not know it, but Miss Baker herself was no small influence in swinging Washington as one of the first suffrage states. Her liberal point of view, her gracious-ness, and her logic won adherents to the cause, wherever she spoke, in those days when to be a " suffragette " was a term of reproach. She now sees greater service for women, with the vote. Her steadfast courage in this cause is an inspiration to all girls." Little did we think, when the above appeared in the last issue of the Messenger that today we would announce Miss Baker's death. But we are glad that meager bit of appreciation reached her; and we are doubly glad she gave that speech in assembly, for she must have felt the sincerity of her audience's appreciation. The Messenger will make no attempt, however feeble, to estimate the character of Miss Baker. The fact that her students, fellow-workers and friends have crowded our pages with words of appreciation and affection, reveals something of the power of the woman and the intimate spot she held in the heart of her associates. She has established traditions and left ideals that will last as long as students gather on this Normal hill, climb Sehome to gaze on a sunset, plant bulbs in the spring, and debate in clubs. And that, .we hope, will be as long as time. As Thomas Hardy wrote upon the death of his friend, George Meredith, so we feel regarding her — "Of late, when we two met once more The luminous countenance and rare Shone just as forty years before. "So that when now all tongues declare His shape unseen by his green hill I scarce believe he sits not there." She is not dead! Ah no! But only-journeyed To that far country where we all must go; And, could her cold lips speak, would she not tell The secret which we, waiting, yearn to know, And whisper gently this to cheer and bless us Who shed our tears above her silent breast: " Weep not, beloved. The grave hath won no triumph — 'Tis but the portal to the Land of Rest"? There is no death, thank God, when noble spirits Pass to those realms whose habitants are blest, Where thirsting souls and hearts that long have hungered No longer languish in an empty quest! Then lay her down, and from our world of sorrows Let us look up beyond the cloudy skies To that bright Land where ever new tomorrows Eternally may dawn to greet her eyes! ISABET. WlSTER, Junior ClttSS 1921 Bellingham Normal, Jan. 30, 1921. May the spirit of our dear teacher, Pier loving service and kindness Endure in the hearts of her associates Throughout all time. Although her untimely end Brought grief and sorrow, Still her life of service, ennobled by kindness and sympathy, Should be as a beacon light to all. Let us strive for high ideals as she had, Carry her memory as an inspiration always, Then our deeds will grow And enrich the lives of others. — LAURENCE BOHANON B. S. N.S. The friends who worked with Miss Baker along humane lines wish to pay tribute to one who in her love of justice knew not only no racial or national boundaries, but included every living creature. Miss Baker's work proved the fallacy of the idea that there is only a certain amount of love in the world and that any spent on animals leaves just so much the less for human beings; for with mind and heart interested in plans for human progress, she was never forgetful of the rights of animals. On account of her many interests, Miss | Baker found it impossible to attend • regularly the meetings of the Humane Society, but when there was special work to be carried through she was called upon, and never failed to respond. Remembering that Miss Baker was especially interested in having Sehome Hill made a bird sanctuary, many of her friends in the humane work hope that the sactuary may now be established as a fitting memorial to one of the noblest of women. B.S.N.S. As I Have Known Miss Baker As far hack as I can remember I have always known Miss Baker. When I was just a small child, she told me all about the robin and sang its song to me. That was the beginning of my love for birds. She told me about flowers and gave me flowers to plant. Her influence over all children was great. I remember one incident in particular. My father was going to burn a pile of brush at our home, when my little brother said, " Don't do that, dad, because Miss Baker says there are birds nests in brush piles and you might burn up some little birds." The brush pile was not burned until fall. As I grew older she would talk to me about the different tilings I was doing, and was always an inspiration to me. Others have received the same inspira tion, because I have heard many of them speak of it. She believed in girls and believed that we could accomplish great things, so she has had the love and admiration of all of the girls who have entered the doors of our school. — EVA BOND. President of Student Body. B. S. N. S. What Miss Baker Has Meant to Me By KITTY BRAGG To know Miss Baker was to love her; and to study with her was to love and appreciate nature. Miss Baker possessed a -wealth of knowledge and a boundless enthusiasm for her work, which she shared in the fullest measure with us all. Whatever natural interest we may have had in bird or tree or flower has been doubly enhanced through our association with her. How many of us, who have enjoyed the rare privilege of her guidance in our work, will not feel her kindly sympathetic nature " smilin' through" on all our future " observations." The ' trees we have learned to know, the birds we have learned to hear, will hold a sweet memory of the one who helped to open our eyes and tune our ears to the beauties of nature.

VALENTINE'S DAY The Co-Op. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1921 February 4 - Page 5 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1921 AT THE NEW DIRECTION OF JENSEN AND VON HERBERG NOW PLAYING UNTIL SATURDAY NIGHT In a Play of Youth, a Something that Comes to Us All Sometimes in Life — You'll Remember the S S's Coming FIRST THREE DAYS OF WEEK THERINE cDONALD In Her Greatest Success A Story of Stage Life LIBERTY ORCHESTRA Admission Adults, 30c Children 10c Including Tax A Suffrage Worker's Tribute To THE EDITOR OF THE MESSENGER: I thank you for this opportunity to express for myself and others our deep regard for the friend who, without stint, gave of her life for others; not only for her deep power for loving, hut also because of a wonderful inherent sense of justice. These qualities together with unusual moral courage combined with a student's brain made her the beloved leader among women. I recognized her worth many years ago when she instituted here the first equal suffrage society. After our state legislature passed the bill, I began active work with her. I recall only one sadness of those days: She, whom we loved so tenderly, gave more than her Eyes cared for in youth will give you good vision in old age. Consult Woll, t h e Optometrist, about y o u r eyes. 205 West Holly St. mead. Amidst manifold school duties ar.c heavy home duties, she faithfully kept up the columns granted her in The I-JVralcl during the campaign. It w;is to:: much for the strength of any one woman. For myself, T feit the debt deeply whenever, these lal-pr days, J looked into the tired, overwrought eyes j of this friend of unusual womanhood. But the fire of her soul was never quenched. Recentby, T was somewhat puzzled when I heard that, in a formal talk she would review the obloquies, so distrustful to a modest woman, suffered by the early campaigners for " women's rights." I listened and understood. It was not for the sake of the tale of trampled womanhood and the fearless female fights, but to remind us of the glory of the men who worked beside them. Together they kept the cause from fainting. She pled that this generation must not think that it was a cause fought by the women against the men, but it was the clear vision and strong battle of men and women combined. This sad Saturday was our last meeting together, a committee of " The League of Women Voters." With all the old vigor and, I thought, with more emotion than when she was younger, she was welling full of a new purpose. She wanted all the women of the city, irrespective of club, church, social or political affiliation, to work together in one body to bring united political force to bear upon questions pertaining to the welfare of children or the uplift of women. One of her last words I am glad to send on: "How can I best efface myself, yet continue to work, so that the public-spirited women of the city will believe that I am not working for a political party." Dear, good friend, so unselfish, so pure-hearted, so true to human kind! If, for all of us, I have staid your sjDirit but for a moment in the passing, I am worthy of a blessed friendship. — ALICE M.

I remember that in one of the many class prophecies of undergraduate days I was portrayed as teaching algebra and music on the Pacific Coast. I curled my lips and my neighbor asked in amusement, "What do you want, if you don't like that?" However, I did not answer. I was far too shy to drag my precious dreams before the public gaze, but I expected to be a writer, and just then, in my heart of hearts I expected some time to sit on the seat of fame beside George Eliot and Mrs. Browning, my especial enthusiasms. The town where I spent my youth and college days was founded about one hundred years ago by a Holland sect. This body of people came with their " doctrine" as leader to make their home on the prairies of Iowa because they felt themselves persecuted by the laws of Holland. They named the town from the Bible, Pella, a place of refuge. It was a good location and was chosen for home by many Americans as well as other Hollanders, and in time it grew into a village of considerable importance. Before the War of the Rebellion the American Baptists established a college there also. These two facts gave the town a unique character. In my youth there were yet many evidences of Holland inheritances in the social life, which, while they seldom 'touched my life, were very interesting to me. I think this living in touch with another nationality in addition to attending a school not of my own denomination has helped to give me breadth of sympathy. I know that when, after my graduation, we moved to a new railroad town in northern Iowa, I missed very much the quiet cultural atmosphere of the old Dutch town. I was one of those children that all teachers know, precocious in book learning and childish socially. I was accustomed to being in a class of what seemed to me to be men and women. Late one afternoon, in the shadow of the empty halls, one of the boys, to my utter amazement, asked me to go to the next social with him. I loathed sociables. I gasped and said yes, because, like Aunt Jemima, I didn't know what else to say. I spent the intervening days trying to forget the coming horror. In my mind I settled one thing. If I lived through this experience, I'd have my wits about me and never, never, never say " yes" again. The evening passed and, in my judgment, was an evening of superlative stupidity. When the boy, in the innocence of his heart, proposed enthusiastically that we go to the next sociable together, I was ready and replied sweetly that I didn't care to go. Notwithstanding my inauspicious beginning in this uncatalogued department of college curriculum, I added to my college course and to my course in music a very comprehensive course in this department, with considerable very satisfactory post graduate work. I look back upon all three lines as being of great value to my professional career. I was very, patriotic. One day I saw a squad of college boys going down to vote. The leader was one of my chums. He was just twenty-one and going to cast his first vote for president. They shouted and swung their hats with enthusiasm. It thrilled me as I watched them. I was a better student than he, I could beat hini in an argument and loved my country, but when I would be twenty-one I would not be allowed to vote. The thought gave me actual physical pain and it rankled until we won the vote here in Washington. The year after graduation I taught my first school — a little countr)r school three miles from town. Things moved placidly and I could have had the school the next term if I had wanted it, but when I think of that term of work I am always tender hearted towards the poor teacher. I boarded at home during that term and mother took me to and from school in the carriage. On these drives we began definitely my study of bird songs. I had a chance for extraordinary work in nature study, due to my wonderful progressive mother. She had a genius for enjoying outdoor life. She made our home of five acres one of the first bird sanctuaries in the United States. Families of every bird of the prairie nested at Pinewood and we fed and protected them. In addition to the choice stock from the nursery we collected for these five acres every plant, shrub and tree possessing landscape value that we discovered in our drives. There was always a spade under the buggy seat for emergencies. Then we also had a pond stocked with fish. We could pick up the young ones in our hands if we fed them. If you think there is nothing to see in such a place, watch a parent catfish taking care of its young in an overstocked pond! One of our family pleasures in the hot summer days was to drive to the river and have a sunrise breakfast, after which mother and father would fish, and my sister would sketch and I would moon about under the trees, botanizing and writing. I had not once given up the plan to be a writer. When we moved to the new town I began teaching in the schools, but I always expected to quit teaching when I had made my success. I read, read, read and write. I should have turned it about. The summer I studied Darwin and Emerson was a landmark in my life. When I closed Darwin's " Origin of Species" I felt as though I had just been granted a Emerson was spiritual revelation to me. I taught with enthusiasm; I poured all that I could of my outside studies, music, drawing, literature, into my school work, but that was not my life work. I grew restless. I wanted to see the world. I wanted to go west, where they payed better salaries and life was worth while. The family could not understand how I could want to live in a dreary boarding house among strangers and teach in preference to living at home and teaching. And I couldn't tell why, either. I only knew that I did. It was the urge of individuality. It is like outgrowing one's clothes. We went to California for a winter, but that did not satisfy me. I wanted to work in the West. On our way home we spent a month in Washington and stopped at Chehalis. Prof. Forrest was city superintendent of the Chehalis schools and he and his wife had been my schoolmates in college days. I accepted a position in this school and the family went home without me. The West suited me. I felt myself expanding mentally. Besides teaching, I accomplished my first little success in writing. But at the end of two years I yielded to the pleadings of my people and went back to a position in the old school in my home town. This little bit of success in writing taught me how long it was likely to be before I could make a living in that work. You see, my expectation had somewhat subsided since the days of the George Eliot dream. Then the teaching had appealed to my ambition more than the teaching in the East. I did not deliberately give up my dreams, but I temporized. I resolved that I would push for professional promotion until I had reached a definite salary, on which I thought one person could live, then I would be satisfied, and take time to write again. It is very amusing how many people have made that same bargain with themselves. Advancement in work is easy enough in the East, but not in salary. From the first I fretted and grieved for the life on this coast. I'm afraid I was not very gracious to the lonely home folk about again living in the prosaic East. Panicky financial conditions at last pushed me into the freedom I fretted for. I came here seventeen years ago and most of the time have been " teaching algebra on the Pacific Coast," according to the despised prophecy. When I reached the salary at which I had promised myself to go back to my first love, and take up my dream again, I found myself captain of the family ship and the limit was not enough. So at last I became in my own dreams what I had long been to the world, just a "school ma-am." And really, it isn't so bad, after all B. S. N. S. A death our friendship ripened into the closest intimacy. She became one of; our family circle, always calling it her' near home, and saying she came to be "mothered," knowing full well that she could open the door any time she chose and find a genuine welcome awaiting! her. For fifteen years she has been called "Aunt Ida" in our home. During my son Merritt's early life she was one of his pals — interested in his marbles and tops, his steam engines and pulleys and all the various stages of boyhood development. Years ago it was her great delight to go with him and his boy chums to get the Christmas tree. She always insisted upon a symmetrical tree, but she acceded to their wishes in regard to size. Several ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1921 February 4 - Page 7 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1921 7 SCHOOL DISMISSED IN HONOR OF MISS BAKER (Continued from page 1.) gave a few words of appreciation of Miss Baker's service to the school and of her inestimable qualities as a woman. He held that all should now practice Miss Baker's philosophy—however much we missed her, we should go forward with courageous and cheerful hearts, rather than grieve at her departure. B.S.N.S. FACULTY RESOLUTIONS (Continued from page 1.) herself was joyous, light-hearted, hopeful, optimistic, youthful in spirit. She seemed^ to have a philosophy of life that deliberately sought poise, hope, inspiration from the beautiful and the good wherever they might be found. Miss Baker had much of the spirit of the pioneer and the reformer. There was marked openness and breadth of mind. She was forward-looking and believed in the future. With all the zeal of the reformer she lived her life long with all colors lashed to the top of the mast. Yet there was no word of contempt or of rebuke for those who honestly differed from her in belief or practice. There was only the most beautful spirit of working together, in the confidence that in co-operative thought and endeavor, democratic sharing of ideas and tasks, in mutual respect of differing personalities for one another, all problems may ultimately be solved. Thus she maintained the sweet poise of a beautiful and well-balance life and the dignity of one conscious of its own worth and commanding respect by virtue of its own integrity. — IRVING J. MILLER, Chairman of Committee. February 2, 1921. B.S.N.S. An Appreciation by an Alkisiahn By EUNICE MONTAGUE Miss Baker's attitude toward her Al-kisiah Club was motherly, personal, sympathetic and inspirational. She remarked once that each girl was to her a plant which she watched unfold. Never was her time too occupied but that she could spare some moments for advice and encouragement. The social evenings at her home will be remembered by every girl fortunate enough to belong to the Alkisiahs. It is difficult to attempt to estimate Miss Baker's invaluable service to her club. Perhaps her ideal of citizenship will be what we shall carry away, eager to put into practice. Miss Baker believed that citizenship meant an intelligent participation in the life of country, village or city. She thought that citizenship to be effective must begin in school. To that end, stress was laid on parliamentary drill, upon the study of great women whose lives were devoted to social service and to the alliance of the Alkisiahs with the State Federation of Women's Clubs. Indeed, the Alkisiah Club grew out of Miss Baker's idea that girls who intended to teach should study citizenship broadly in order to take their places as intelligent members of society. Miss Baker was an inspiration to every girl in the club. She tried to lead us to see that there were two sides to all questions — that we should always attempt to make decisions in an unprejudiced frame of mind and with an earnest desire to be just to all concerned. But by her own example she taught us once a decision has been made it should be followed to its conclusion despite criticism. She was always generous and sympathetic with the social life of the club. She chaperoned the girls on their numerous excursions to community districts in presenting plays and in community singing. Her sense of humor was alert to all phases of school life. Every girl who went to her in trouble was sure to find a friend. Her loss in the Alkisiah Club is a permanent one. Its guardian since first organization, her place can never be refilled. However, her courage and faith are with us always and will have their place in the heart of every Alkisiahn throughout life. Difficult as it is, our motto is " Carry on," for such would be her wish. 'B.S.N.S. History of the Alkisiah Club Fifteen years ago, in 1906, the Alkisiah Club was organized and Miss Baker was asked to be its sponsor. It was the first society in school to be formed and it was named Alkisiah, which means " In the near future." The club has endeavored to carry out its name by preparing its members for social service work, in relation to the State Federation of Women's Clubs, and by the enjoyment of all that is best in life. During the fifteen years of its existence the club under its able and beloved advisor has accomplished many things. The production of " Percy McKay's Bird Sanctuary" in 1915, staged on the campus knoll, among the trees, the home of the birds which Miss Baker loved so dearly, was one of the most notable productions given by the club. Its presentation helped to further one of Miss Baker's ideals of making the beautiful Normal campus a sanctuary for all birds. Four years ago (1917) was a notable year for the Alkisiah Club as it then became affiliated with the Washington State Federation of Women's Clubs. This organization has accomplished many things along all lines in which women of today are interested. Two time-honored customs of the Alkisiah Club are the planting of bulbs in the fall, which are sold just before the Christmas holidays, and the annual banquet of the club — both customs originated by Miss Baker. This year, the annual bulb sale of the Alkisiah Club was a great success, and many girls' rooms were made fragrant by beautiful paper-white, narcissi. Last year the banquet of the club, which is held on the Saturday nearest the 14th of February, was enjoyed by all Alkisiah girls. This year it has been postponed indefinitely by action of the club. For many years Miss Baker has asked the Alkisiah girls out to her cottage at Lummi. The girls who have enjoyed her hospitality have passed some of the pleasantest moments of their lives at her home. The club from the beginning of its existence has supported all activities of school life and has grown up with Ihe Normal. Its growth has been due to the unfailing inspiration of Miss Baker who has been a friend and adviser to every, girl in the club. Under her guidance it had a great future. Without her, the Alkisiah Club will carry on the work which she so faithfully started to keep her inspiration and memory alive. B.S.N.S. MR. HENDERSHOT PAYS TRIBUTE TO MISS BAKER Perhaps no one at school was more closely associated with Miss Baker in her nature work than Mr. Hendershot, the caretaker of the school grounds. For years they have worked together planning and planting flowers and shrubs on the. campus. Oftertimes it was very difficult to coax the young growing things to live; many plots had to be abandoned, and others, with much hard work, begun. At last the toil of many years has turned to beauty. The Arbor Day services, when the different clubs planted flowers and shrubs, were always under the supervision of Miss Baker. Her work in the greenhouse for this year had just been started. The impress of her personality will always cling to the greenhouse: it will be a sacred spot where she spent so many hours of work and of pleasure. WATCH R E P A I R I N G CHAS. F.

Nothing to do after batching, of trans-continental trips, of j landing but to plan to stay all night farming together, come to me as I recall the locking of Ida Baker's life with mine, but above all comes the memory of tramping together. The first trips began in Lewis County where Saturdays were spent in walking to Coal Creek, to the Chehalis River or for the first long-stemmed violets on the Centralia prairies. Later we spent part of a summer on Caugar "Flat, following the road until it faded into the dark unsurveyed forest beyond the settlements, into the Abcr-nathy Mountains. Every evening a new wood's trail and always a new find in plant life, with an extra long trip for Sunday. It always started this way: " Don't hurry so, Kate, here's a new fern — one we have never seen before. (Closer scrutiny.) Yes, I'm sure this is a new variety. Look at the fronds! Let's mark it so we can get it on our return." The return bad as many " finds " as the going. That same summer we spent a lazy week on Pumphrey's Mountain, tramping miles over the then unused government trail and getting stories of pioneer life along the Cowlitz, while watching the logs si gt;eeding down the long chutes into the river below. There were trips in rain and wet as well as in sunshine, trips when we slept on cabin floors with wet feet stretched toward a rude fireplace, but the patter of the rain, the glory of the moonshine on the trees, or even the shadows deepened by the fire were sufficient compensation. On coming to Bellingham the first years were spent in explorations. Every week end a trip — Lake Whatcom, Marietta, Lake Padden, the beaches — then the islands. Often I reached satiety but to Miss Baker every island had a personality. Hat was unlike Souci; Cypress unlike Saddleback. She knew to a day when the orchids opened on Lummi and when the students should go to Cypress to see the rhododendrons. One spring day she induced the family and myself to go to Saddleback Island to eat lunch and explore the island between round trips made by a again with nothing but eveiy day attire and a lunch. Regrets came to most of us between twelve and two that night, but not to Miss Baker, for she was up and following the birds as soon as she heard the first call. She it was who stirred four of the Normal faculty to walk across from Lake Crescent to the ocean, some fifty miles, not many years ago. " I never can see all that I want from a carriage or' an auto. This is such a satisfaction." Always finding something new, if not in growing things then in hill and sky and sea. Scores of trips were made to Hard-scrabble up in the foothills of the Cascades over a fourteen-mile trail, Miss Baker seldom without cans for specimen and on one trip she packed in a heavy botany. Whole afternoons she would sit at the table covered with bits of plant life and exclaim at her discoveries. " Now I've found out what that little red berry is that we've wondered about." Such a satisfaction was that botany! While week days were full of duties, every Sunday we went to find where the trails or bladings that we had seen led. The birds were named, the cans filled with specimen, the trees classified and another trip planned for the next week — the next summer — the years to come. One fall her oft repeated wish to see the woods covered with snow was gratified. With Miss Wilson we tramped up the fourteen-mile trail for the Thanksgiving vacation, returning in a mild snowstorm. The large lazy flakes slowly circling as if for our pleasure and every twig carrying a load as we put mile after) mile behind us. When tramping, people were seldom referred to. Nature was so overwhelmingly present that people naturally fell into relative position in the presence of forests that had lived so many ages. Her last tram]) was on the dikes of Samisb Island just a week before the end.

A bird sanctuary' on Se-home Hill, or on some chosen spot on the Normal campus where the numberless birds of this region might be fed and cared for was one of her dreams. Wherever Miss Baker lived she surrounded herself with the beauties of nature. At her Iowa home was a beautiful sanctuary for birds, in an oak grove. Every native tree was represented in this little park, besides many imported trees, including the Washington and Oregon fir. The pond was fed by two artesian wells; the fish were so tame that they would eat from Miss Baker's hand. Bird houses were all over the grounds, and it was one of Miss Baker's delights to watch them building and nesting. No cats or other disturbers of birds were allowed near, and when the snakes became frequent in the summer, the birds were rescued from them. Her home in Bellingham allowed no space for such a sanctuary, but she always planned for the time when our school would take up steps for the establishment of the sanctuary, that the birds might be fed and cared for -when food was scarce.

Synopsis: William Westwood and Dorothy Cruckshank are eloping, but (Continued on page 2.) PERMANENT OFFICERS ARE CHOSEN BY SENIORS AND JUNIORS COLLEGE OF PUGET SOUND AND CHENEY STATE NORMAL SCHOOL FALL BEFORE BELLINGHAM NORMAL — SECOND TEAM ALSO WINS GAME Following the assembly on Wednesday, January 26, the Senior and Junior classes elected their officers for the remainder of the year. Those elected by the Senior Class are: President, Clinton Primer; vice president, Frances Smith; secretary, Frank Allison; tresaurer, Madeline Xitco. The new Junior officers are president, Ada Stephens; vice president, Fay Durham; secretary, Lawrence Wright; treasurer, Elsie Minor. B. S. N.S. THESPIAN Will Play St. Martin's College Team Tomorrow Two victories have been annexed by Coach Sara Carver's Blue and White Normal School team since the appearance of the last regular edition of the Messenger. The first game with the State Normal School team from Cheney was played in the Fairhaven gymnasium and won by the close score of 28-26. The second, with the College of Puget Sound, from Tacoma, was won by the com-fortbale margin of 34-18. As a preliminary, the second team had a walk-away game with the Mt. Baker town team, winning by the score of 45-27. BISHOP SHEPPARD AD-PUPIL OF MISS GARDNER GIVES BEAUTIFUL PROGRAM Leonardine Miller, a pupil of Miss Gardner's, entertained the assembly Wednesday with several excellent piano selections. She is a young lady of extraordinary talent and plays with an unusual idea of interpretation for one of her age. Her friends expect a great future for her, and we sincerely hope that she will visit us again. At the last business meeting of the Thespians, it was unanimously voted that the proceeds from the performance of " The Little Princess," an approximate sum of §56.00, is to be donated to the Near East Relief Fund. The Thespian Dramatic Club is the first student organization in the school to react to the call of the Near East Relief Fund so generously. A vote was also taken whereby the club has agreed to raise a special fund of $10.00 to give to the support of the Klipsun. The amount that is in the treasury will be used to buy a set of portable stage screens, so that short plays for the regular programs can be arranged in the club room, instead of using the auditorium at these times. B. S.N.S. JUNIOR GIRLS ARE WINNERS OF KLINE CUP METHODIST BISHOP FROM PORTLAND GIVES INTERESTING TALK Wednesday afternoon the Junior girls' basketball team finally acquired the Kline cup for this year by defeating the Seniors 32-17. The first game was also won by the Juniors, 37-10. The special feature of the game was the shooting of Elsie Minor, Junior forward, who made practically all of the Junior scores, securing fourteen field goals. During the second half the Seniors rallied foi-' a few moments, but were unable to either hold the Juniors or overcome the lead they j gt;iled up during the first half. This will probably end the interclass games for the season, as the Juniors' two straight victories give them the claim to the cup. " Many people are unhappy because they have misplaced their aims in life," declared Bishop O. W. Sheperd, of Portland, Oregon, in assembly last Monday. It is not wealth nor fame that makes happiness, for the wealthiest and most famous people often wish for things they cannot have, the bishop declared. He gave three rules which if followed guaranteed happiness: We must find joy in the world; we must love the work we have to do; we must take one side of a question, and stick to it, for a person who is undecided will be dissatisfied: The address was sprinkled with humor, and so rich in practical suggestions to students that it is hoped the bishop may address us again. B. S.N.S. Mr. Weir Addresses Many Gatherings Mr. Weir, as usual, has been and will be busy during this month. He spoke on February 2 at the Professional Woman's Club and later he gave an address to the Canadian Club on " Lincoln." He was present at Sumas on February 8 and assisted in community work. Today he will speak in Wickersham. February 19 will find him at Alpine, dedicating the school house, and he will conclude the month's addresses at Gulf Grange Lodge, partaking of community work, near the month's end. C. P. S. GAME SLOW One of the slowest games of the season was that played with C. P. S. on our own floor last Saturday evening. The first half almost reminded one of the C. P. S. game of last year in which the College of Puget Sound was unable to secure even one field goal. The first half showed a score in favor of the Normal 19-4, C. P. S.'s four points being due to a field goal by Stone, center, and a three throw apiece by Scott and Brooks, forwards. During the second half C. P. S. was able, to solve the mystery of passing the ball through the basket more radily, making the final score 34-18. The summary follows: Normal (34) C. P. 8. (18) Yorkston f. Scott Jenkins f Brooks Cone c Stone Burpee....' g .....Brady Inge g ........Kinch Substitutions: Mathes for Cone, banished on personals, first half; Wright for Mathes, last part of second half.

Whatcom Girls Win from Normal 22-20 Saturday evening, January 29, the Whatcom High School girls' basketball team won from the Normal School by the close score of 22 to 20. In the opening period of the game the Whatcom lassies had it all their own way, running up a score of 13 to 3. The closing seconds of play were full of excitement. Normal was but two points behind with about thirty seconds to play. In a desperate attempt, Normal caged the final basket, tieing the score, the timekeeper's whistle being lost in the din that arose from the side lines. The referee had not heard the whistle and so allowed the Normal two points which (Continued on page 2.) ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1921 February 11 - Page 2 ---------- 0.

CHENEY NORMAL LOSES 28-26 On Friday, January 28, the Belling-ham Normal defeated the crack team of her sister Normal School at Cheney by the close score of 28 to 26. The game was played on a neutral floor at Fair-haven as the larger floor of that gymnasium affords better opportunities for team work. The first period ended with Belling-ham leading 19 to 11. Carlyle Crum secured four field goals, most of which were of the long spectacular variety. Cheney played a much better game during the second half, but was unable to overcome the lead that Bellingham had secured during the first period. Carlysle Crum, who filled a forward position, has left school, but Coach Carver is developing two new players in "Spike" Mathes and Dwight Cone. The summary follows: Bellingham (28) Cheney (26) Yorkston.. f Leach Crum f. „....F. Swank Cone c H. Wynstra Burpee '. g Howe Wright g ...W.

MARTIN'S COLLEGE TOMORROW Tomorrow evening at 7:30 St. Martin's College from Lacey will play us in our own gymnasium. St. Martin's has a good team and will no doubt provide a good game tomorrow evening. One week from today, on February 18, we play our return game with Whatcom, at Whatcom. B.S.N.S. WHATCOM GIRLS WIN FROM NORMAL 22-20 (Continued from page 1.) would tie the score, but since all who were in the neighborhood of the timekeeper admit that the whistle blew three seconds before Normal caged the final basket, the game goes to Whatcom. Those who represented the Normal are: Tyler and Whitmore, forwards; Munich and Gilbert, centers; Craine and Phillips, guards; Elsie Minor and Ada Dibble, subs. B.S.N.S. " ROSEMARY " WILL BE GIVEN BY JUNIORS (Continued from page 1.) have a wreck near Sir Jasper's home. Sir Jasper finds them and invites them to make his house their home. The girl's father and mother also follow and meet Sir Jasper. The result is that all are under one roof. The rather delicate and interesting situation is cleverly worked out in the following acts. The players under the direction of Mr. Hoppe are working hard and are determined to make the play the best ever given here. The costumes will come from Seattle and new scenery will be bought, thus making everything quite elaborate. The advertising campaign started this' week, so everyone will know about it. The Junior play is one of the big annual events of the school. — - B . S . N . S . CHORAL CLUB The Choral Club hour last Thursday was spent in beginning the new operetta, " In India." The girls were delighted with the quaint, rather weird music. This opera is quite different from anything given here in the past, and is a pleasure to look forward to. The club will welcome new members, especially second sopranos. B.S.N.S. THE NORMAL BY THE SEA(?) One day as I was walking along Normal Drive I was stopped by a stranger and was asked the following question: " Did Mrs. Ella Higgenson have this sea in mind when she wrote her famous poem known as 'The Normal by the Sea'?" He asked this question pointing to our athletic field known as the swam]}. I answered this question in the best way I could without disgracing the school by answering, "Yes." I am sure Mrs. Higginson thought nothing of this swamp when she wrote her beautiful poem, painting in words the wonderful site of the Bellingham Normal. She was referring to the large restless body of water stretched out before us, known as Bellingham Bay. Is it not too bad that we have to be ridiculed by strangers on account of our poor athletic field • at the south end of our building? It is true, much work has already been done on this piece of ground, but do you not think it would have been better to have waited until the work could have been immediately completed when it had once been started? I am sure that most of us will agree that we have been overlooked in regards to athletic equipment at this school. We have no modern gymnasium and only a swamp for an athletic field. Why is it that we are not supplied with these as other institutions of the state? I am sure that it is not the fault of our delegates to the state legislature, for we all know how hard and faithful Dr. Nash has always worked for the good of the school and everything connected with it. We have no doubt heard it said many times that we do not need an athletic field because of our small enrollment of men in the school. It is true that since the war, the enrollment of men in our school has been small but during the lasfl year it has showed a rapid increase. Along with this growth in enrollment, the need of an athletic field will grow and before long we will have athletes here equal in ability to any in the state, and we will have no place to train them, as in the days of yore.

We need an athletic field. When, oh when, are we going to get it? — A. L. H. B.S.N.S. JOIN THE KLIPSUN CONTEST B.S.N.S. ALETHEIA On Thursday evening, January 28, Aletheia held a very short but interesting meeting. Alice M. Baer gave two piano selections. These very interesting and educational talks were given: " What Women Have Accomplished in Music," by Esther Moehring; "What Women Have Accomplished in Law," by Anna Lundahl, and " What Women Have Accomplished in Art," by Iva De Rose. MISS WOODARD ENTERTAINS BIBLE CLASS Appreciating the fact that we are all busy people, it was a most happy thought that prompted Miss Woodard to choose the noon hour for an economic combination of luncheon and social converse (the latter so rare and so coveted a pleasure, in the rush of daily work) with the members of her Bible class, on Thursday, January 27. Each guest brought her own tray from the cafeteria, or lunch from home as she preferred, and the " p a r t y " was held in the small dining room adjoining the domestic science kitchen, where the hostess served cocoa during the meal. Interesting and jolly games with pleasant, social chat enlivened the hour which was all too short, but withal delightful. The success of the dean's hospitable idea was amply demonstrated by the happy faces and expressions of delight issuing from the " banquet hall" when the 1 o'clock bell trilled its merry lay. Encore, Miss Woodard! ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1921 February 11 - Page 3 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1921 3 MiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiHiWiiiiiHimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiimmmitiiiiiiiiiiiiMiMimiiiiiMiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiij )piMiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiininiiiiiiimmiiiiii tiiiimiiiiiiiimimmiiiminiiiimiiimimimiiiiiiiiiui^| H General News || = =, i iMlllllllliMll I iiiiiilJMlllirliiiitu iiiiiim iiiiiiiriiillllicS jiiitm i n i nil" i I" "II" I ""lllllllllr Nobody likes a person who goes around wearing a long face and a chip on his shoulder, telling the world it is a poor place in which to live. If a decision is made whether it be to attend school or join a favorite club one should stick to it, make his presence wanted and acceptable by co-operation instead of finding fault. Too often the one who knocks is the person who has done the least. Just as undesirable as the knocker in an institution is the person who is complacent with things as they aire, who says that everything is good enough for him since others have gotten along well enough under those conditions. The person who steps in and says that he is willing to do his part, then goes out and finds his proper place and fills it, is the one who is desirable to have as a school member, a club president or a friend. That person will get along because he boosts present conditions on to higher standards and greater achievements. * * * If you are looking for trouble just ask Elsie Minor why she cooked so much rice. * * * Gladys and Iva West spent a pleasant week end at Park, on Lake Whatcom. B.S. N.S. TACOMA CLUB HAS HI-JINKS The members of the Tacoma Club and their guests, about forty strong, gathered in the gym last Saturday night and proceeded in a body, escorted by Mr. Ed Morath, to the home of himself and his mother, Mrs. Wister, a member of the Junior Class. As the house is picturesquely located among the pines at the base of Sehome Hill, the interior was decorated with evergreen and resembled the out-of-doors to carry out the idea of an indoor picnic, and in honor of the club the word "Tacoma" done in great yellow letters adorned the wall, above a water color picture of Rainier, framed in green pine twigs. The girls, chaperoned by Miss Born-stein, all wore middy blouses and walking skirts, and kept the ball of fun rolling with games and singing, assisted with ukelele and mandolin . Refreshments were served in novel fashion — cafeteria style — the guests lined up and served with " hot dogs" and hot buttered rolls, dill pickles and coffee in double quick time by the effi- Does the printed page blur?

" Ruth" handled the wienies like an expert chef; Mr. Morath, who is a member of the Pike's Peak Mountain Club in his home town, and an experienced host for hikes and picnic parties, tossed the hot rolls to Miss Bornstein for butter and pickles, and Mrs. Wister poured coffee. The party broke up at an early hour. B.S. N.S. Valuable Books on History of Northwest Are in Library How many Normal students know there are in a special case in the library some invaluable books on the history of this northwest country? No doubt there are very few, as the books are seldom used, yet here is rich and abundant material about our own Pacific Northwest. There are many old and valuable volumes to be found here. Perhaps the oldest book is "A Voyage Around the World," by Dixson, jJublished in 1789. No doubt the reason for this neglect on the part of students is because the case is locked. Many students have the opinion these books are for show, but in reality they are meant for the use of all. The librarian at the desk would be only too glad to give anyone the key to this case. B.S. N.S. Miss Keeler Meets Former Students Miss Keeler spent the past month in Chelan, Okanogan, Island and Snohomish Counties and met many former Normal students. At AVenatchee it was surprising how many of our graduates were teaching there. William Training in the Stevens Building; Ethel Miller and Laurena Bushby in the Whitman Building; Florence Redford, home economics; Kath-leenne Nethercutt, primary; Clarice Oatis, teachers in Wenatchee also. At Cashmere, Florence Taylor is doing excellent work. Esther Thomas and Frances Gallagher are at Monitor; Ger-adline Drake is at Sunnyslope. Mrs. Gladys Funk Farley, of Chelan, whose school now numbers but " 1," was glad to hear from and sent greetings to the Normal. In Okanogan County Dorothy Massie is at Brewster. Here Miss Keeler also met Mr. Reep, father of Miss Ellen Reep, one of our present students. Martha Forde, Dorothy Forde, Luella Smith, Hazel Lang, Margaret Pillard were encountered at Okanogan; Harriet Hampson, Charlotte Fink, Mai-- garet Laisure, Ethel Campbell and Mr. Morgan, at Omak. At Tonasket, Miss Keeler met Frances Davis, also Mrs. Pauline Bair Hockett, who is not teaching. Myrtle Berg is at Oroville. In Island County are many former students. Likewise in Snohomish. Edith Froom, Blanche Sixeas, Bessie Winemil-ler, Hazel Tweedy, Albert Dunagan and several others are at Lake Stevens. At Arlington, Nellie Doolittle, Neva Cow-den, Julia Wright and Miss Luckman; Boyd Ellis in Marysville. B. S. N. S.

JI ** * * t * **.s. •** •*! *~ f * THE UNDERTONE We speak of overtones in music, but we HEAR understones three times a week in assembly! Seniors are unusually fortunate in having front seats, for if we didn't we surely would miss hearing announcements and talks. The student body as a whole, we are sure, are not vitally interested in how many beaux a certain girl has, how many parties someone else went to last Saturday, or lengthy gossip on fashions. Mrs. Thatcher lias our sincere sympathy, and by " our," we mean the majority of us. It must be discouraging, to say the least to try to lead assembly music with a continual undertone. If we talked half as much about our studies our grades for the quarter would be assured. The following is not an unusual conversation as heard by an innocent bystander: " What was said in assembly today? " " I don't know. Why weren't you there? " "Well, I teach in the morning so I can't go. How about you?" " Oh, I was there, but couldn't hear a thing." We don't happen to sit in the men's section, but believe that they are as guilty as we. Perhaps their undertones do not run along the lines of boys, parties and fashions, but instead, girls, basketball and Knights of the Curb and Gutter antics. ; Now let us all try to be more quiet, and remember that overtones are permissable while singing, but undertones are unforgivable, at any time in assembly or programs. — A SENIOR. In comparison with many general libraries, some of them in larger cities, our juvenile library is far superior. It is such a pleasant, well lighted, well ventilated room, with no musty corners, nor gloomy walls. Light, warmth and fresh air are the first few factors. one notices in entering. Parents, if you want your child to have the best advantages along book lines, begin at once, if only in a small way. Furnish him the good wholesome recreation that is his. heritage —good books, fresh air and plenty of scope for imagination. In a recent survey of many libraries, county and city, the bad air and dark and musty corners were noted in many instances. Also, it is rare to find such a well selected list of children's books as ours. The library is a monument to Miss Wilson's untiring care and interest. The Junior Class has again claimed the Kline cup by winning the interclass contest in basketball this year. This victory has taken much work and practice on the part of the girls of the team and they have been very faithful. The Messenger takes this opportunity to congratulate the Junior Class as a whole for the splendid work their team has displayed. However, the Seniors havei worked just as hard and deserve the praise of the school also. Are you writing your story or essay for the Klipsun? Have you drawn the prize-winning cover design? These are two questions which every Normal student should answer and in the affirmative. If you have a talent, let others enjoy it, and if you do not know your ability, now is the best time to discover it. The contest is still on and the editor is anxious that a good response will be given in order to make this year's Klipsun the champion of the school. While we are speaking of the Klipsun contests for stories, let us not forget that The Messenger will appreciate any. stories, poems, essays or anecdotes which the students or faculty have to offer. Some time when you . have a brilliant inspiration, write it down and enlarge upon it till it becomes a story. Leave it in " The Messenger Box " in the main hall and receive the thanks of the school. SHAW BANS CHILDREN'S BOOKS THE JUVENILE LIBRARY The juvenile library is one of the most interesting places in our school. It is beautiful to see the way the little tots come to this room with sparkling eyes, their eager hands reaching out for the " Fairyland" that they know can be found on the pages of these children's books. The reading children are the most important children, said Bernard Shaw the other day before a committee of the Children's Libraries Movement in London. He himself had been a reading child, and it always surprised him to hear people speak of the tears they shed in learning to read. He was born with the faculty of reading and well remembered the annoyance a governess had caused him by forcing upon his attention a spelling book with the words senselessly arranged in columns and desiccated by hyphens; only one example of the subterfuges of those enemies of every reading child — the publisher and the parent. Children themselves would never buy books " for the child," but publishers and parents keep the witless traffic up, and thus it comes — Mr. Shaw said — that England is such an unliterary nation. In the new children's libraries let there be plenty of phonographs and pictures, he urged, but let there be no children's books. Every one knows what he means — too many talking animals, too many clumsy fairies. But there are, of course, lots of fine children's books that are above the heads of grown-up readers. B.S.N.S.

SUMMER DAY AT THE NORTH POLE It was midnight on the ocean, Not a street car was in sight, The sun was shining brightly, Arid it rained \\ day that night. It was a summer day in winter, And the rain was snowing fast, A barefoot boy with shoes on, Stood sitting on the grass. It was raining and the rising sun Was setting in the West, The little fishes in the trees, Were huddling in their nest. And a fish fell off the tree top, Where he roosted cool and high, And the little devil drownded, For, Begob, the state was dry. While the organ peeled potatoes, Lard was rendered by the choir, As the sexton rang the dish rag, Someone set the ice on fire. " Ploly smoke!'1 the preacher shouted, And in the rain he lost his hair, Now his head resembles Heaven, For there is no parting there. — SHAKESPEARE Fitzsimons General Hospital, Denver, Colorado. Q.

AND MRS. CARTER DE HAVEN In Margaret Mayo's and Salisbury Field's Popular Pajama Play Twin eds A PRAIRIE HOUR The stars shone over the lonely prairie — brilliant and scintillaley in their shrines, with a cold — an awesome light that was answered in turn by the piercing winter wind that buzzed and whistled and sang over the land of forgotten summer. As I touched my dog's collar he looked at me with eyes so bright and warm that I forgot the cold — but only for an instant. I walked a few rods further and stopped. Loneliness — awe — filled me. I shivered slightly and drew my collar tighter to my chin. Oh, the moaning — the mystery of the wind as it passed — was it nothing? Could it feel — think — was it running away from the prairie? What, oh what, was it? The dog gave a tiny whine and his hair bristled slightly. Was he feeling it too? How many questions to ask — the myriad things to know, but no one to ask.... no one to answer. The brown earth at" my feet was hard, cold and still, the pulsing life had been carried away by the wind spirits and the cold had settled drearily. Space how indefinite — the thought — how definite and yet mysterious-the word. All in all — nothing in all — which? A star twinkled in a friendly way but it warmed the heart — not the prairie. We were alone; so alone that the silence seemed to be descending on us — about us — coming to chill our hearts — our lives, until we lived and breathed no more; until we became one, with the frozen ground — a shapeless, lifeless mass. It became suffocating! A torture— unbearable. I could not stay — yet I must! The dog trembled against me. " Come," I cried, " we must go — we must — we must!" We turned, walked back to our little camp, a mile distant at the foot of the mountains, among the sheltering, warm pines. ( I stood for a moment by the embers of my dying fire, thinking. Then I rolled into my blankets, sighed and — slept. — MARGARET HAYWAUD B.S.N.S. PHILOS The Philos had their meeting Thursday evening, January 27. Miss Sutherland gave a delightful piano solo.

They reached home for luncheon and pronounced the trip one of the best of the year. # # * Mrs. Nash gave a silver tea for the Y. W. C.

Goodell Boucher a song and Mrs. Larrabee a short talk on the) object of the Y. W. C. A. February Magazines Are we all aware of the many good things to be found in the February magazines? In the Atlantic Monthly is an article by Stanwood Cobb in which he advocates more freedom for the child. In progressive schools, there is no -fixed furniture. Why should a child be denied freedom? Much of nervousness in children comes from the brutal custom of holding them to fixed seats for five hours a day. They lack also mental freedom. The best way to make a child learn is to make him want to learn. Mr. Cobb favors abandonment of formal recitation, a more flexible program and em- / phasizes upon athletics, music, art,. dra- \ matics and self government. u Washington and its code commission are discussed by J. Orin Olephant. This '.(/is a matter of uttermost importance to all teachers and prospective teachers. This will have to do with future salaries, school terms, day lengths and work to be done. In this same issue tribute is paid D. M. Showalter, president of Cheney Normal. His picture appears on the cover and a resume of his very helpful work in the field of education in Washington. As a special favor to the Eng. 23 students, Herbert L. Steward in the North American Review, has an article entitled " Ibsen and Some Current Superstitions." In this interesting article appears criticisms on " The Dolls House," "The Wild Duck," "Pillars of Society' 'and other of Ibsen's dramas. Ibsen's distinction lies in his " thoroughness as a herald of revolt." Edmund Burke said' of convention, that each must decide for himself. " We are afraid to put men to live and trade on their private stock of reason, that the individual would do better to avail himself of the general bank and capital, of the nations and ages." How many of us are acquainted with that beautifully illustrated magazine called the Far East? It deals with the home life of the Japanese, their art, which by the way is taking new angles, in that the famous old mountain no longer hovers in the background. A short sketch of the career of Japan's future ruler is given, along with political problems, as they touch ours. In the Bay View Magazine a set of questions under title of "The Community Program" by Bessie Leach Priddy, Ph. D., deals with social conditions in our school communities; also an interesting illustrated article on Mexican problems by W. T. Root, Ph. D. In the Literary Digest, if you want to test your efficiency, try Thorndyke's test for efficiency on page 24 lt; of the February 5th number. There may be considerable falling off of egotism. The Klu Klux Klan is back again with all its mystic operations. If we would keep up on information as to its formation and intentions read the above named magazine.

It has to do with . the new Ellensburg Normal Training School and the supply store. The work of the store is carried on by the fifth graders. It is an article of interest and suggestion to us, and is surely motivation in abundance. Do not miss it. " Social Life in Washington High Schools," by J. W. Lindley, of Cheney, is of extreme interest to a good many of us. It takes up the problem of social life in school. Cheney communities favor dancing at school. Cordial invitations are given the parents, so that they may attend any or all social functions. No persons riot connected with school are permitted to attend. An assessment of 5 cents is made to cover costs. Dramatics or other variations of programs, precede the dancing. The National Geographic has for its contribution this month a long article on that land of interest, Czechoslovakia, the key land of Central Europe. The article is profusely illustrated with forty-, six cuts, that in themselves almost tell a story of work, home life and festivals, as well- as sufferings and joys. A large new map of Europe is given in this issue, whereby the new-old countries, once again come into their proper and rightful place. — ARMIDA FJELMAM- ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1921 February 11 - Page 7 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1921 7 Faculty Notes Miss Landis spent last week end at her home in Seattle. » *• * Dr. Miller gave an address on " Gifted and Ungifted Children" at the Lowell P.-T.

TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES The grammar grades enjoyed an old fashioned spelling match at their regular Wednesday assembly. Johnny had skipped his classes, deceived his mother, had been found out, and caused unhappiness all around. His teacher took him aside and had a heart to heart talk. Johnny sat still, looking at his teacher intently, and seemed to be deeply impressed. His teacher thought she was making good headway and that her sermon was surely penetrating Johnny's brains. But you never can tell about little boys. Just as she had reached the climax of her appeal to his better self a light of discovery broke over Johnny. " Say, teacher," he said eagerly,' " it's your lower jaw that moves, ain't it? " The first and second grades will enjoy a splendid Lincoln program today.

XX BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1921 NO. 26 F ACTIVITIES AT WHATCOM ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CHANGE The Men's Association vaudeville show that was to be held tonight has been postponed because of the " W" Club show at the Whatcom High School. Because of the postponement the show will be better than ever. Some of the acts are really clever. There is Dick Inge and his quartet, Dwight Cone by himself, Kronstad, Reep, Christenson and many others. No one must miss it. The Men's Association held a meeting last Wednesday to consider a float in the parade Tulip Day. A committee was appointed to confer \vith the faculty on the best plan of representation. REPRESENTATIVES OF The two members of the Senior class who have been chosen to take part in the commencement exercises in June are Ethel Sutherland and Clinton Pruner. Miss Sutherland was elected by the class. She is from East Sound, Orcas Island. Miss Sutherland graduated from the Whatcom High School with the class of '19. While there she was editor of the Whatcom High School annual, the Kulshan. Last summer she was sent as a delegate by the Y. W. C. A. to the College Girls' Conference at Seabeck: Miss Sutherland is now vice-president of the Y. W. C. A. and president of the Philos. The faculty elected Clinton Pruner as their representative in the June exercises. Mr. Pruner well deserves this honor, as he has served the school in various ways while here. He graduated from the Blaine High School in 1918. He is a member of the Thespian Club and has served on the Klipsun, debate and open house committees. Mr. Pruner has been elected president of the Senior Class for three consecutive quarters, and was vice-president of the Board of Control during the summer session of 1920, and student representative of the same during '20-'21. BULLETIN ISSUED BY ART DEPARTMENT Probably the most attractive and worth while bulletin ever issued by Normal is that put out by the Art Department this week. In an artistic cover, with a hand colored design, this bulletin of fifty pages, summarizes the work accomplished in the Art Department of the School, as well as gives an inspiring and comprehensive conception of the teaching of art. Frequent illustrations and many quotations brighten and beautify the pages. The following special subjects are treated: "Basketry," "Art Appreciation," "Summer School," "Hand Work," " Educative Posters," " Weaving," " Primary Art," " Intermediate Art," "Art Handicraft in the Upper Grades," " Exhibits," " Costume Design," " Picture Study," " Studio Art Club." A department of especial interest to teachers is that at the end, where a tabulated list of famous pictures is listed for all grades. Miss Marie Carey Druse, head of the department, Miss Ruth M. Boring and Miss Marguerite Landis, who are responsible for the bulletin, and deserve the thanks and appreciation of the entire school. The standard of this art bulletin is so high it could cake its place creditably with those issued by any of the art schools of the country. We cannot refrain from reprinting two of the quotations found in this bulletin, because of their truth and their broad significance to life — particularly our. Normal School life: " We believe in teaching art for use. This is our creed. The pupils must feel that every time they hang a picture, change the furniture of a room, choose (Continued on page 2.) BY NORMAL TEACHERS Were you ever perplexed as to what was suitable to wear for different occasions? Surely a practical and happy solution was offered by Miss Longley's dressmaking classes in assembly Wednesday. House dresses of starchy ginghams, school clothes, natty in their simplicity; silk afternoon dresses, dainty and ruffled; evening dresses bewitching as a peacock in many colors; suits, tailored and smart; sport clothes daring in stripes and clever in combination; hiking costumes, comfortable and free, luring one to climb and tumble and roam; and last of all, guazy ' organdies with bows and ruffles, wide brimmed hats and charming faces announce the blossoming of future styles. Separate coats, gloves, shoes and hats, the charming accessories of each dainty girl's wardrobe, were all displayed to the best advantage, suitable to the occasion and expressing good taste. (Continued on page 2.) N Prizes for the story, poem, essay contest for the Klipsun were: First prize, $2.50; second prize, one copy of the Klipsun. In the story contest " The Last Act," by George Van de Wetering, took first prize and "Aliens," by Isabel Wister took second prize. The poem, " Our Home Beside the Sea," won first prize for Frank Allison, and "An Ode to Miss Baker," by Mrs. M. M. Smith, won second prize. " Character," an essay by Frank Allison, and "The Helpful Collie," by Mrs. Plemmons, were awarded first and second prizes respectively in the essay contest. Last Sunday afternoon when returning from a picnic, Orilla Audrey Taylor, a student in the 5-B class of our training school, was drowned in Lake Whatcom. She had been attending the Normal training school since last January. Three other sisters are attending the training school, while another sister, Marguerite, is a Whatcom High School student. The Normal School extends to the bereaved family sympathy in this sudden and sad death. - B.S. N. S. MADAME ALDA'S CONCERT Early Wednesday evening the gallery of the American Theater was almost filled with Normal students who anxiously awaited the appearance of Madame Alda. When she began to sing, even the gallery was astounded at the richness, fullness and trueness of her tones. Her trills held the audience breathless. The songs that met with the greatest approval were " Un bel di" from " Madame Butterfly," " Minneton-ka," by Lieurance and "The Singer," by Maxwell. Her accompanist, Mr. Flint, was also popular. B.S.N.S. DON'T FORGET TO VOTE FOR THE TULIP QUEEN I N M S I G BATTLE OF NORMAL NORMAL BASEBALL TEAM IS FIGHTING HARD FOR HONORS Thursday of last week our team played the Fairhaven High School a schedule game at Elks Park and was beaten by the close of 8 to 7. During the first few innings of play there were many errors made by our men and Fairhaven ran up their score which was almost tied by our team in the last inning. Fairhaven didn't get a hit off Prevost, who was put in to pitch the last fou rinnings, but because of their lead ou rteam didn't catch them. We have another game with Fairhaven before the season closes. Watch for the date and support our team. Last Saturday, our team retaliated their loss of Thursday by defeating the Sedro-Woolley High School in- a game, also played at Elks Park, by a score, of 12 to 3. Lawrence Bohanon seems aspiring to be a second Babe Ruth; he smashed the ball so hard that the Sedro- Woolley fielders couldn't find it. This is the second four-base hit Bohanon has made this season. The Normal linenp was as follows: Prevost, pitcher; Coles, catcher; Wright, first base; Stevenson, second base; Jenkins, third base; Elder, shortstop; Bohanon, left field; Karlson, center field; Miller, right field. GIRLS' A I M TO BE STAGED IN MAY The track meet between the Whatcom, Fairhaven and Normal girls will be staged on Battersbys Field the latter part of May. It will consist of discus throwing, relays and jumping. This track meet is open to all girls in the school. B.S.N.S. MARATHON RACE POSTPONED Owing to the bad weather it was necessary to postpone the date of the annual Marathon race from. April 16 to April 23.

THERE WAS A CHILD WENT FORTH There was a child went forth every day, And the first object he look'd upon, that object he became, And that object became part of him for the day or a certain part of the day, Or for many years and stretching cycles of years. The early lilacs became part of this child, And the grass, and the white and red morning-glories, and the white and red clover, and the song of the phoebe bird, And the water-plants with their graceful flat heads all became part of him. And the apple trees covered with blossoms, and the fruit afterward, and wood-berries, and the commonest trees by the road, And the school-mistress that pass'd on her way to school, And the friendly boys that pass'd' and the quarrelsome boys, And the tidy and fresh-cheeked girls, and the barefoot boy and girl, And all the changes of city and country wherever he went, These all became part of that boy who went forth every day and who now goes, and will always go forth every day. — WAT.T WHIT?.!AX. B.S.N.S. (Continued from page 1.) FASHION SHOW IN ASSEMBLY There were fifty girls who took part in this display of sensible, appropriate costumes. Under each group six to eight costumes illustrated different points of excellence. Miss Louise Nelson explained the costumes. Miss Bogdanoff played the piano. But the thanks and. appreciation of the entire assembly go to Miss Longley, who planned the display and whose taste and good sense have done much to elevate the standard of dress among Normal girls. B. S. N. S. - A trained silk worm may be a novel idea, but these useful little insects are now being bred to spin their cocoons in natural colors. This is an American achievement, an experiment farm near New Orleans having succeeded in getting royal purple, gendarme blue, old rose, jade and jet black from the worms. A year ago, silk worms had never spun anything except white, cream, and 'yellow. A 20,000-acre silk worm farm is soon to begin operations near Groveland, Florida, for the weaving of the silk thread in natural colors. B. S. N. S.

Because of this, students have not been able to inspect their gardens at which they worked faithfully, and they will appreciate help given. They count their flowers frequently and if one is missing they feel it is an individual grievance. * * * As usual, the pupils of the fourth grade are very busy. They will exchange letters with the children of the Columbia school, in correlation with language. Children in the 4-B are carrying out a project by having a floral shop and green house. Both the 4-A and 4-B classes are making preparation for a class paper. * * # Athletics in the line of baseball ai'e receiving much attention in the training school.

BRING US YOUR LIST FOR ESTIMATE Retail Office, 1615 Elk Street Retail Yard, Phone 433—Sash Door Factory, Phone 1257 ORIGINALITY Originality, according to Noah Webster is " the state of being new, not copied." To some it appears to mean, the state of being neutral, not comprehensible. Because you remain neutral in you rideas, does not necessarily mean that you are original. Neutrality is not originality; it is indifference, and indifference is a detriment to intellect. Originality demands intellectual greatness. It will be seen in the annals of history that the man with the original ideas is the one who stands immortal ,in the estimation of those who are to follow. Of course new ideas are scoffed at. The great discredit them and the ignorant distrust them. They must always start in the minority and if logical enough to weather the first storm of nihilistic protest, heir adoption is probable. Socrates was executed for his originality. The originators of the aeroplane and submarine ideas were hooted at for their seeming foolhardiness. By whom5 By the great majority of shallow minded, worldly wise, loud voiced individuals, who deem themselves essential factors to universal welfare; pedestaled characters of social positions or demi-gods of physical domineerence and brawn, who insist on revealing their baseness by loud bursts of spasmodic applause at their own second hand ideas, and sneers of contempt at the original achievements of other, which being only in their infancy cannot display the greatness that they may attain later. But to superstition may be attributed the dishonor of being the greatest detriment to originality. Witness its effects in China and Africa, where generation after generation follow in the footsteps of their predecessors with rarely a change in ideals or customs. However, may it be said that where originality was once a subject of fear-fulness, wonder, or menace, it has now become more or less common and often causes only a slight ripple on the tossing tide of scientific revelations 6f the present day. Therefore — any person, who does not at some time or other, in the duration of his earthly habintation, create or dedicate something wholly of his own originality, above the average achievement of mental endeavor, that person has misused the most vital sense with which he has been endowed and which distinguishes him from the lower forms of nature's animals — the power to reason. His initials shall probably be found carved on fences and buildings rather than in the halls of fame and his epitaph, if even this last tribute should be accorded him, shall teach of the- crude uneventfulness of his past. — G.

Lita Layton Club Notes Donna E. Sargent General Briefs Donna E. Sargent Girls' Athletics Dorothy Bell This Tulip Festival is the best way of getting to the rest of the United States the fact that Bellingham's natural resources, climate, harbor, etc., are unsurpassed. The Normal School is supposed to be represented by floats, and the different clubs will form squads and march. This festival will be what you help to make it. It not only advertises for Bellingham ,but for the whole Northwest corner of the state. We usually say we never appreciate a thing until we lose it. But there is an instance in our school of not being able to appreciate until we have had. Monday morning was the first time in the seven months since September that the students have had the privilege of hearing Mr. Klemme speak in assembly. No doubt students from every corner of Western Washington before coming to Bellingham heard one of Mr. Klemme's speeches. Or at least heard about him. Up here, however, one never hears him, scarcely hears of him, and but very seldom sees him hurrying up the stairs in such a rush that he goes two at a time. Of course we all realize that Mr. Klemme is in great demand and much needed away from Bellingham, but didn't someone say to start charity at home? And we would be thankful for just a little start. The most valuable " system " is a good nervous system. If you have half an hour to spare, don't spend it with some one who hasn't. " Let mules do the kicking," says the Northwestern Merchant. It's worth while thinking over, isn't it? The wilderness pursues us even in the city streets. At an idle — or even a busy —- moment a sound, a flash of cloud, a vagrant odor, and the forests are with us again. The noises of the street come up as ,a vague roar. " Often there are gray days with fog drifting in from sea and a clammy sidewalk underfoot. Then, more than on the bright days, come dreams of a northern lake with wooded points showing dimly through the mist. Honking your own horn doesn't help so much as. steering wisely. Some men turn over a leaf so often that they thumbmark it beyond recognition. Get the habit of doing things right. CHARACTER BUILDING SUPPORT OUR TULIP QUEEN Show the town that there is a Normal School on the hill. We have grit and school spirit and all we need to do is to show it by supporting Marion Chisholm, our school's representative in the Tulip Queen contest. This is the first time that the beauty of our Normal girls has ever been disputed. Let's not only make Marion Chisholm the Tulip Queen but also show the town and the world that there really is a Normal on the hill with six hundred students behind it. We can do this if we invest all our spare nickels and dimes in tulip buttons. Buy, buy and buy again. Every button bought gives Miss Chisholm twenty-five votes. A GREAT MAN'S DEFEAT Last summer, when the people of this great nation were electing a man to be president for the coming four.years, not a single name was more often mentioned or more highly esteemed than that of General Wood. Perhaps no man in America could more ably handle ,the problems that will confront the man who is now president of the United States. As a leader, General Wood has no superior. He is a man who can work with other men and who has had executive ex- 'perience which is of inestimable value to a man in public life. But in spite of his qualifications and ability he was defeated in the primary election. What did he do? Did he feel sorry for himself and turn against the candidate who had won the prize which he coveted? He most certainly did not. Instead he went into the 'campaign with as much spirit as though he himself had been the winner. Today, Leonard Wood is more admired than ever before. At present he is on a mission to the Philippine Islands to determine whether or not they are prepared to govern themselves. When he returns he will become president of the University of Pennsylvania. In the capacity of president of this great institution Mr. Wood will have a wonderful opportunity to make his life and character stand out as an inspiring example to the thousands of young men with whom he will come in contact. It is indeed a great honor that has been conferred on the former candidate for president of the United States. — TONY BOETTCHER. It is the things most worth while in life that we want, and we must be content to earn them, not to fnd them. Over the rough cobblestones of daily living we fight our way to the heights of success. Every rough and jagged turn adds one more stone to be used in building our stairway up one step higher. Every fight we win lands us one step near the top. It is the rough things of life that determines our character. A boat on the water is judged by the way it can withstand and fight the waves. Even so are we made stronger or weaker just as the determination stands in our daily fight. I've found the world will always help, If you would smile — or frown; But no one but yourself, at least, Can ever keep you down. — B.S.N. S. SCHOOL STANDARDS THE TRAMP OF ARCADY There are standards in every organization and these are kept up to a certain extent by rules and regulations. It is also the people's mode of living that makes these standards, so nautrally the standards are no higher than the people who make them. Our future standing as citizens of the United States depends upon our conduct in school. There are set rules in school. If we break these set rules it is the same as breaking, a U. S. law, only in a smaller degree. The rules of our school in themselves are vital only as they train us for life; to make us good citizens. Schools are only preparatory courses for future citizenship and of course the standards of these little organizations are similar to those of a great nation. Efficiency in work, right living and good citizenship are a few of the things every good school stands for. Normal School students should catch the vision of what school work should be, and build for the future. My old coat is ragged, All tattered and torn; My tile is rusty, My foot-gear is worn. I jog on and sing, For I'm rich as a king, And the good Lord Takes care of the flowers. My life's cares are few, And my wants are fewer; My hut is but little, My appetite sure, My chickens roost high When the grafter goes by, And the good Lord Takes care of the flowers. I sing all the day As my 'taters I hoe; I make no debts And I pay as I go. I make no debts As in pleasure and pain, The good Lord Takes care of the flowers. There's joy in the forest, , There's light on the sea, The birds whistle blithely On the old apple tree. I work and I play As I sing all the day, And the good Lord Takes care of the flowers. B.S.

APRIL By GLENN HUGHES In the woodland where the pale green leaves are springing Like a broken mist of color, and the sunlight Glints upon the tender grasses, it is April. Time is bringing Once again the golden blessings of the sunlight. In the garden where the daffodils are blowing And the crimson crocus breaks the earth's warm bosom For the glory of the sunlight, it is April. Wine is flowing From the richness and the fullness of earth's bosom. In the heart where songs are wakening to rapture With the gladness and the sadness of the gods, Where the soul escapes in music, it is April.

OUR QUEEN — BUY BUTTONS BE A BOOSTER FOR THE SCHOOL A LETTER FROM THE STORM COUNTRY Mr. Hunt has received a letter from Dora Huelsdonk, a former Normal student, full of interesting comments about the distruction of the forests on the Olympic Peninsula. She enclosed a number of snap shots, illustrating the terrific destruction of the storm. Miss Huelsdonk lives at Hoh, and says the trails are not open yet, but assures they .'will be before the fire season begins, as a fire protective measure. No one has suffered from lack of provisions, as it is the custom of the people to lay in a supply of food to provide against flood and ocean storms. "Although," she adds, "many people had to carry provisions on their backs twenty miles over trails a squirrel alone would feel at home on. I counted 1,735 trees in the trail in a distance of seven or eight miles." Miss Huelsdonk says a good deal of money has been appropriated for the relief of this section and for fire protection. She feels that a road should be put through but fears the lumber companies do not want the market to be flooded with lumber at present, and prefer to have a fire risk instead. Mail has not been held up as the number of people who go to view the wreckage carry it in to the settlers.

I rest of this year. It, has a deficit of By MEREDITH NICHOLSON in Cosmopolitan. " I guess that job will stand a while," remarked an architect with whom I inspected a splendid new building he was about to turn over to the owners. He was justly proud of the realization of his plans. What had first been only a dream stood before him — a dream come true. It is constructive work that counts, the tangible result of intelligent, conscientious labor. We are judged by our actual accomplishments, not by what we might have done. Criticism is valueless unless it is informed and sincere. The author who writes a dull book or the carpenter who turns out a clumsy job is entitled to know wherein he has failed. Every community has its incurable pessimists. While they grumble on the side-lines, the game of life is being played by men and women of faith and courage whose determined will urges them on to victory. Education is America's first line of defense. The future of America hangs in the balance every day in every American school house. In the wide-spread discussion of better methods of promoting the more perfect understanding of American ideals by all the people, we recur constantly to the school teacher. Here is a public servant whose work is essentially constructive. Pay the teachers a wage commensurate with their great responsibility to the nation! The child delights in a plaything he has fashioned with his own hands. We are all born to be producers, to add to the wealth and beauty and happiness of the world. Our gift need not be an obelisk by the Nile, or a Parthenon, or the dome of a St. Peter's. A cheering word that heartens a brother for the day's struggle — that, too, builds for eternity in the soul of him who gives and in him who receives. We have a right to demand of statesmen that they, complain less bitterly of the mistakes of their opponents and tell us more definitely what they will do if confronted by the same problems. Be a builder, not a destroyer! It profits me nothing to tear down a thing that I cannot replace with something better. " I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill." He who uttered these words recreated the earth upon a new foundation whose corner-stone is love. B.S.N.S. Y. M. C. A.

A. work. There has a change come in education during the last few days which is very noticeable to those of us who were in close contact with the schools of day before yesterday and have been doing different line of work since. Formerly the school was thought of as the teacher's school, and if things did not go right up at the school house, the teacher received all the credit. Now, the school belongs to the community. The community feels the responsibility for its welfare. The community gathers together to beautify the yard, renovate the school house, pave the walk or gravel the yard. Now the patrons of a school are always ready to do the things I have named and others like them. They are waiting for the teacher to start them going, tell them what needs to be done, help them organize by electing the very livest of their members as officers and giving them a program for the year that appeals to them as worth while. As an illustration of this fact, I want to tell you of a live school community that I visited last Friday evening at Geneva. Two members of our own faculty, Mr. Weir and Mr. Klemme, addressed the assembly Monday morning. Mr. Weir spoke on the Tulip Festival to be held May second and third, and the part the Normal is to play. He told of the campaign the various organizations are waging for their queens and he urged the Normal people to go into the fight to win. " The purpose of the festival," said Mr. Weir, "is to make a living, pulsating soul for Bellingham. And that's what fighting for our queen ought to do for the Normal." Dr. Nash added to the festival announcements the fact that there was a possibility of having the mounted police from Canada in the parade, and that a thousand feet of film were to be taken the days of the festival. Mr. Klemme spoke on the work he has been doing the past week in Grays Harbor and Thurston Counties. He spoke especially of the Montesano High School which, he says, will send a number of students to Normal next year. Mr. Klemme emphasized the value of education by giving the actual per cent a high school and college education increases success. He stated that the purpose of education is to give training to grasp opportunities. Mr. Klemme and Mr. Weir are so busy with extension work that it is not often they have time to speak to the Normal. But these occasional privileges are enjoyed by the students and it is hoped they will come more often in the future. B.S.N.S. SPRING SONGSTERS How many students are conscious of the variety and beauty of the various songs of the birds about here these spring months? The Messenger is happy to publish the following notes by one who knows and loves birds: March 22 — Audubon Warbler arrived today, making merry in the fir 'trees on "1921" CLASS PINS MULLER ASPLUND JEWELERS Next to First National Bank THE PALLAS The Home of Better Candies, Pastries Ice Cream the knoll. Look for the small bird with fine yellow spots and don't ignore his song, " Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweeter, sweetest." April 6— Heard the first white-crowned sparrow today. We like him best for his cheery song at night. April 9 — The violet-green swallows are twittering along the wires this morning, occasionally' making graceful gyrations into the air, chattering, twittering, saying as plainly as "can be that they are glad to be back. A thule wren is busier than usual, anticipating a new home perhaps. A lutescent warbler announced his arrival. I took some manoeuvering to catch a glimpse of his olive green coat. Poor thing! He had to choose between silence and discovery and he could not keep from singing. A pair of chickadees are building a nest inv a tall black stump. There! The first call of the purple finch! Welcome, sweetest singer of Bellingham Bay! B. S. N. S. SARAH BERNHARDT YOUNG AT 76 Sarah Bernhardt departed from Paris for London by airplane to fill her engagement in "Daniel," a new play. This remarkable woman is 76 years old and a greatgrandmother. Her leg was amputated in 1915, but she has filled many roles on the stage since then. " Daniel" is the new play written for her by Louis Verneuil. In it she interprets the difficult role of a 25-year-old love-stricken youth. B. S. N. S.

The coal is used as fuel in making steam to furnish power to run the machinery. In a cotton factory, the machinery would be needed to twist the threads and wind them on bobbins to be used in weaving. Where they were manufacturing cotton cloth the power throws the shuttle back and forth and draws the threads into a different position so that the thread of the warp that the shuttle went over the first time would be over the shuttle thread the second time. In steel manufacturing, I can see the furnaces heated white hot and the liquid iron being carried in a huge dipper to the different places where it is worked with. — Martha E. Thomson. In the flour mill the coal would generate the heat from which the steam would operate the various processes in the manufacture of flour. Truth is, I can't imagine, because I don't understand the processes of manufacturing as yet.— Bertha Thompson. • Coal is used to furnish power in the manufacturing of cotton goods. It furnishes power to clean the cotton, to give it to card it, spin it into thread, dye it, and for the Weaving.

Miss Earhart tells of the survey Teachers' College folk have made of the Baltimore schools, and the part she has had in completing the statistics, under the direction of Dr. Bagley. In concluding the letter Miss Earhart gives a glimpse of the interests of New Yqrk she is enjoying, outside her work. "Einstein lectured on his relativity theqry (in German) and Harding is to be here tomorrow to unveil a statue of Boliyar. I have been recently to hear Dr. Qrenfell, John Spargo, Jane Addams and Ratcliff of the Manchester guardian. Also I have seen Mary Stuart by Drink-x water, Ihigema of Aulis "with Margaret Anglin as Clytemnestra, arid Mrs. Fiske in 'Wake up, Jonothan!' Next Sunday we are to hear Tetrazinni. So you- see it is not quite all psychology and statistics even though, I can now figure Iq's, Aq's and several variations thereof." '% B.S.N.S:-^ TEACH NEXT YEAR ^ h e Messenger is happy to report from time to time the iist'of students who have definitely signed up for schools next year. Of course at present most students are writing applications, but many have the worry of " where shall I be next year? " off their minds. ' Following is,an incomplete list of: students who have accepted teaching positions and where they will teach: Eva Bond and Margaret Zurbrick, Blaine; Charles Powell, Hump tulips; Myrtle Briiei Florence; Berriice Bfoadbent, Walville; Mary Mjddlekauff, Douglas, Alaska; Valentine Ayers, Withrow; Helen Whitenach, Mayfield; Ethel Sutherland and .Dora Agee, Lynden; •JThelma Court, La Conner; Marion Chisholm, Buckley; Rosella Olson and Edith Prevedell, Skagit County. SOUL OF TULIP IS The proud, beautiful, aspiring, cooperating soul of Bellingham flashed bare in the annual Tulip Festival. The first big event was the coronation of the queen at the armory Monday evening. JMr. Coughlin, representing the powers of Winter, was.driven out of Tulip Land by Don Gray as Father Time. Then Father Time crowned Miss Alice Hughie as Queen of Tulip Town and Tulip Land. Following her coronation the loyal subjects of Queen - Alice entertained her majesty with prettily costumed dances. The "Dance of the Hours" was by Normal girls, the "Dance of the Sun Maidens" was very beautiful, but perhaps the prettiest and most graceful dances were those given by little girls (Continued on page f.) C» • A t Friday's assembly the Thespians gave a splendid program of musical and dialect numbers. Swedish, negro, Western, Norwegian and child dialect readings were well given. The costuming was very good and the program was complete to the last detail. It may be said that this entertainment was even worthy to be called a Thespian production. Those who took part in the program were Betty Graves, Harriet Rit-tenberg, Einar Christensen, Elsie Minor, Gladys West and Frances Durham. B.S.N.S. KLIPSUN GOES TO PRESS All contests have closed for the Klip-sun annual and those on the staff are very busy. attending to the last details of the preparation of the material for the press. • Part of the annual is printed and the remainder is in the hands of the printer. The annuals will be out on or before May 20. This is the earliest in history that the Klipsun has appeared. The staff is composed of. a body of able and enthusiastic workers who are putting forth their best efforts to make this annual the best of all. Be sure to get. one. It will be a pleasant reminder of old Normal days, friends and classmates. ^ -—- B. S. N. S. — Word has been received of the marriage of Hazel Smart, a former student, who was teaching at Silvaria. ' ' _ -• NORMAL WINS GAME Thursday of last week the Normal nine defeated the Harmony nine in a game played at Elks park by the close score of 8 to 7. Five innings was all that was played on account of the grounds not having a roof over them. The Ferndale game was played last Saturday and resulted in a score of 11 to 4 in favor of Ferndale. At the close of the sixth inning the score stood 4 to 5 in Ferndale's favor but in the seventh Ferndale brought in five more runs and another run in the eighth, making the score 11 to 4. Stevenson pitched the first two innings for Normal and Prevost pitched the remainder of the game. The game was umpired by Dr. Hood. B.S.N.S. E PLAN EXCURSION All students, present and past, of the science classes are now signing up for the big excursion to Susia Island. This trip, headed by Mr. Coughlin, is dated for the 23rd of May. One week is given for the science classes to sign and at the end of that time the other students may sign up to the capacity of the boat. Rates are one dollar, if one hundred students go, and seventy-five cents,,for one hundred and thirty-five. As Mr. Coughlin says: " We all want to go for seventy-five cents, so please sign up." The Sucias are the most. interesting islands geologically of the San Juan group and such an opportunity for visiting them is indeed rare. From there a magnificent view of surrounding islands may be enjoyed. Such a trip ought to prove especially attractive to students from Eastern Washington. B.S.N.S. CO-ORDDINATION BETWEEN SCIENCE CLASSES AND TRAINING SCHOOL ; The co-ordination between the nature and science# departments with the student teachers ,m the Training School deserves a hearty commendation. One instance is worthy of special notice. Last week the nature students-gave a demonstration of the construction' of an acquarium.' This demonstration was so vividly presented that the Training School.pupils were able to construct an acquarium'without further assistance. THIS YEAR NEW DORMITORY IS TO BE MODERN AND BEAUTIFUL — FINISHED THIS YEAR Many extensive improvements are planned for our school. Of course the biggest and best is already started r-r the girls' dormitory. The contract, has been let for $140,637, and already the excavating and leveling of the grounds have passed more than the first stages. It is hoped that the new building, with "its accommodations for 125 girls, will be ready by next September; but if not, Christmas ought surely find the girls who are left at horiie making merry in this new building. Words from Ella Higginson's charming poem, written especially for our school, "The Normal by the Sea," have been selected by authorities. as the inscription to be imbedded in a terracotta tablet which will adorn the entrance to this beautiful building. To quote from a local paper: "The poet's sentiment was selected after a long search through ancient and modern literature, and- that • the choice was a very appropriate one anybody who reads may see. The selection is the sixth line of the second stanza, which written in the sonnet form runs as follows: (Continued on page £.)

TRAINING SCHOOL - With the intention of keeping the -Training School up to date in every respect, the Normal School will this summer go extensively into the project method in the training department. This is regarded by school authorities as modern and progressive action and locally it is another step toward popularizing -elementary school endeavors in this community. . . The following schedule of projects and problems correlating various subjects to be .worked out in the training school classes affords an idea of the scope of the new undertaking: ; Grade 1 — " Our Farm"; language, reading, spelling, numbers. Grade 2 — "Our Town"; language, reading, spelling, numbers. Grade 3 — To make and equip an general store; arithmetic, language, read-i nS- ? Grade 4— Making a magazine; language, reading, nature study, geography. Grade 5 — "Why and How We Celebrate the Fourth of July"; language, reading, spelling, history. , Grade 6 — "If you were to take a farm in South America, what country would you choose? " Geography, reading, composition. : Grade 7 — History pageant; history, English. ' Grade 8 — " Is it worth while to buy a lot and build a home?" Arithmetic, reading, composition, civics. All students are welcome to visit these classes. Under the direction of Miss Genie Watrous the Normal School, will conduct special classes during, the summer term for a period of six weeks, beginning June 13, for children between the ages of eight and fourteen years.

No credit or grades will be granted.for the work. The season will be from 9 to .12 each school day. Trips will be made to various points of interest, woods, beaches, parks and industrial plants, in and around Bellingham. Trees, flowers, sea life, birds, scouting, safety first and traffic laws, industries and other problems of interest will be subjects for investigation. The library will be used for securing supplementary material. Story telling, games and programs will have their place. An effort will be made to have as much of the time spent out of doors as 'possible. After fifty children have been enrolled a waiting list will be kept for filling vacancies. Parents may secure membership for their children by applying by letter or telephone to Miss Florence Morse at the Normal School. B.S. N.S. Dr. Miller has compiled the following list of books in our libary, dealing with education. It has occurred to the Messenger that students might be grateful for the list of books, together with brief criticism of the contents. Next week the Messenger will print the conclusion, of the list. • •" - Will you help us keep them busy? In the past year or two an unusually large number of high class books in the field of education and psychology have been put into the library. Many of these books are of as much interest to other members of the faculty as to those who are teaching in the department of education. I am taking-the liberty of calling attention to some of these books, particularly those which have been added jfc'o the library most recently. • Some of these books are on the reserve shelf, others on the open shelves! If any of us in the department of education have any of these books out which you would like to see, do not fail to check up on us, if we hold them too long. I suppose new books, except those which are highly technical, ought not to be kept out of the library more than a week vat a time. • Is there something here which you, or your students, can use? .

Our need of willing workers; strong, true leaders and wise guiding minds was clearly brought out at last Monday's assembly. Sometimes efficient co-operation is remarkable for its success and then again cogs may slip, the machinery halts, our resources are limited, time is short and the product which was to have upheld the high standards of our school comes out of the process a distasteful and ugly thing. Such was the experience of our Men's Association last Friday in putting on their vaudeville. We had the strong, true leaders; the wise guiding minds and a few willing workers — but where was the efficient co-operation? This is a question the student body of our Normal School must answer individually before they entirely condemn. We are indeed glad of the stand taken by the boys responsible for the show, responsible only in that they were the starters of the machinery, but as explained by them, not responsible for the distasteful and ugly product produced at the vaudeville. Let us all gladly and eagerly support these commendable young men and our Normal School Faculty in the stand which they took for higher standards ;of entertainment so that by our influence and future guidance we may throw an obliterating shadow over such regrettable occurrences. How many of us know and appreciate the work the Training pupils are doing on the Junior Messenger? They have an interesting little paper, full of news and school spirit. It is a fine thing for these young people to manage and edit a paper of their own. It teaches them first of all observation and stimulates an interest ih: their school work. The boys and girls learn to write and they enjoy preparing their material. Those who notice flutters of excitement prevailing among the junior members of the Training School, attribute it to their interest and enthusiasm, as they hunt up hews —here, there and everywhere,-like all true reporters. ;. Read theirs paper. Tell them that you like it. They will appreciate it. .F:^ lt; Marius Hansome, a prominent alunir nus of Normal, has recently returned to Seattle, after touring Europe and spending considerable time in New York City. "The following1 interview, published in a Seattle paper, may interest his friends among the faculty and students of this school: Shower baths — snow white bed sheets — waiters serving chow to able seamen. Not such a hard life for a sailor aboard Uncle Sam's merchant fleet, in the opinion of Marius Hansome^ former teacher for the Alaska bureau of education, who returned yesterday after a sea trip to his home in Denmark. Hansome came to Puget Sound nearly twenty years ago, an illiterate Danish boy, sailing before the mast on a windjammer. Last September, deciding to pay a visit to his Danish home, Hansome signed on the Shipping Board freighter Apus as an able seaman in order to observe the contrast of a sailor's life from the windjammer days to the present time. Not like the old days when I came around the Horn on the Danish windjammer Antigona," reported Hansome on his arrival here yesterday. " In those days we packed all our belongings, including a mattress, aboard ship in a bag. But on the Apus the boys now sleep in white sheets — even the beds are made up by the mess boy. And clean towels — shower baths — waiters giving regular hotel service — pretty soft for the modern seaman." When Hansome landed on Puget Sound, knowing nothing of the English language, he deserted the ship and began doing odd jobs around the state, all the time studying hard. In this way he went through the University of Washington and later went to Alaska for the Bureau of Education. While in Denmark he made an inspection tour of Danish high schools and lectured in many of the prominent high and agricultural schools in that country. He is now conducting an independent research on educational subjects at the University of Washington and later plans to lecture before Scandinavian audiences in this section. " In Denmark the people find themselves with too many automobiles and other luxuries on hand," reported Hansome. "During the war the Danes bought heavily of American luxuries, believing that prosperity would continue indefinitely. In Copenhagen boxes containing American goods are lying unopened in warehouses and in the stores of large cities one may view the same American garments are are displayed on Second Avenue. But these goods have no demand — the people are overloaded with autos and owing to high prices and the scarcity of oil find it difficult to operate motor cars." : B.S.N.S. ter Tulip Festival Day judgment? -Ideal school conditions may have been in season, but from the sleepy, nodding heads scattered through the. audience those rows of inviting white cots should have been stricken from the film. Let's appoint a committee to interview Mr. Philippi on the appropriateness of films to the * existing conditions of the day and age in which they are shown. — B.S.N.S. ADVICE TO STUDENTS WISHING TEACHING JOBS Tuesday morning at 8 o'clock Miss Morse, supervisor of the Training School, called a special meeting in the auditorium for all the students who wish teaching positions for the' coming year. Mr. Kibbe, the first speaker, gave the students some valuable information. He named the things that made up a good letter of application. Having been a county superintendent at one time Mr. Kibbe knows what a superintendent expects to find in a letter of application. Mr. Caskey of the business department read and discussed several forms of letters used both in applying for positions and in determining where the vacancies exist. Miss. Knapstein, head of the appointment committee, spoke of the necessity of giving initials, names and addresses of all references so that the officials in charge of the schools where a student applies may write to the people named as references. Mr. Kibbe, Mr. Caskey and Miss Knapstein said that no one should apply for too many positions, at once, nor should one take a lower salary than some one else, just to secure the position, as a lowering of teachers' salaries would result. Mr. Kibbe said care must be taken in signing contracts as the penalty for breaking a contract is revocation of certificate. The speakers said they were ready to aid any student in any way at any time. B.S.N.S. RESTLESSNESS JUDGMENT? We wonder what kind of judgment Mr. Philippi used Wednesday in the film : he chose; for. assembly.. •: Was it Judgment Day judgment or. the day. af- Spring in the air! Tis a joyous thing. Snatches of song an dbits of blue In a sky that has frowned the long days through, Wriffs from the salt sea far away Where fresh winds scatter the foaming spray And ruffle the sea gull's wing.

WHY AMERICANS TALK Kindness is almost universal in America ; in my first three months I collected only three deliberate rudenesses, though doubtless I deserved many more. I have found everywhere assistance and, what the stranger needs so much, information. Sometimes I have found a little too much, for the American does not always realize how lost is the stranger in this immense, complicated system, and so burdens him with detail. The American is often quiet, but he never refuses conversation, and on the whole, it is better that people should talk too much than too little; this contributes to general sociabiliy and ease of intercourse. Also, conversation helps a man to exhibit himself. Very few of us ever attempt to discover what the other man thinks; we talk so as to assert to him what we think; this helps us to discover what we really think. I suspect that the American, more than any other kind of man, his mind being filled with a vast number of physical impressions, needs conversation to sort out these impressions. Burdened by certain forms of national pride, local pride, and personal pride, by old puritanic views and new efficiency views, by sentiment and by ruthlessness, he needs conversation as a sort of clearing house. He had to formulate. —r W. L. GEORGE in Harped? Magazine. ' * .-—B.S.N.S.—— ; Joy and laughter make the world go round —but llove makes it go round and round and'round!

The royal float on which rode Queen Alice and the maids of her court was guarded by an escort of sailors from the three destroyers at anchor in the harbor. Every school and organization in the city had a beautifully decorated float; and many decorated private cars; and marchers were in the long parade. The float taking first prize was that of the Larrabee School which represented the quaint Dutch story of " Winkyn, Blinkyn and Nod." In the Normal float rode Dwight Cone as Uncle Sam and Catherine Shepherd as fair Columbia, while several of the Normal boys in soldier or sailor uniforms formed the escort. Behind the float marched the loyal Normal girls wearing white middy suits and blue and white Dutch caps. Ahead of these students marched the Normal Training School escorting their pretty little queen. , . .; After the parade hundreds of people spent a happy hour or more visiting the destroyers, and the festival closed with street merrymaking in the evening. . Bellingham's Tulip Festival was a success. And under the reign of Queen Alice joy, prosperity and sunshine have come to Tulip Land. Of course the Normal is justly proud that its president, Dr. Nash, and Mr. .Weir, of the Extension Department have been tireless in their work for the success of Tulip Day. . Both are to be complimented. B.S.N.S. IMPROVED AND STILL IMPROVING — THAT'S NORMAL the spring.' A pump for fire protection is also being considered.

The education department especially is planning on a successful term. In addition to the required courses, it will offer as, electives advanced educational psychology of common branches (devoted mainly to improved reading), history of American education, educational hygiene, school administration- and school surveys. Emphasis will ibe placed upon vocational guidance which will consist of a great deal of work for rural teachers. It will make a study of rural school problems, management, • lessons learned from use of standardized tests, administration of rural schools, and the improvement ;of reading and spelling. The Rural Life Club will serve as a center for acquaintance of rural teachers and for solving problems interesting to them. In addition to the new teachers already mentioned to be connected with this department Miss Keeler of the extension department is to be with the education department this summer.. And Miss Montgomery of the Training School will give special work in primary methods. There will be regular conference hours which meetings anyone interested in primary work may attend. Throughout all the work of the department special emphasis will be put upon the project method. With the new teachers and enlarged curriculum the education department hopes to and certainly will accomplish much the coming quarter. In the extension department Mr. Weir will be at the school here the first six weeks, but the last six weeks he will spend •'•• in community service. Mr. Klemme will spend the summer in California attending either Berkeley or Stanford University. Mrs. King Wiley will,spend the summer in Grays Harbor County.; Mrs. May' Lovegrin and Miss Keeler will teach here, Mrs. Lovegrin in business education and Miss Keeler in education.

Did you ever see such an array of ups; and do you not think they are all excellent ones? We are going to call them " spirits." Spirit number one says, " I am visiting you every day, and ask for admittance. Together we could make" much progress." While the sunshine calls "cheer up;" the second spirit says, " For all who observe, there is beauty, which beckons." Will not these two spirits demand another, "Smile up?" Smile and the earth smiles with you. Spunk, cheer and joy, which the three spirits typify, lead us into the land of the "Climb Spirit." "'With these four we can conquor all tasks. — C.

Owing to the fact that the weather man got his dates mixed, the " wienie" roast which should have taken place out of doors, was held in the kitchen.

" No," said the boy, " I gave you back the lemonade for that." "But," said the man, "you did not pay for the lemonade." " I didn't drink it," said the boy, and walked out of the store leaving Mr. Lyle calculating. It was a busy day in the butcher shop.

M ATIENDS ITING AI PRESIDENTS OF STATE NORMAL SCHOOLS HOLD MEETING Dr. Nash was absent from school Wednesday, as he was in attendance at a meeting of normal school presidents of the state at Spokane. Mr. Whitcomb, president of our board of trustees, attended a meeting of state trustees on the same date. Last Sunday in Blaine Dr. Nash delivered his lecture "The Passion Play." His lecture on the Passion play and "Through Sunny Italy" are extremely popular and are requested much often-er than Dr. Nash can possibly give them. B.S.N.S. HONOR OF GUESTS In honor of F. A. Cotton, of La Crosse, and C. P. Colgrove, of Cedar Falls, who are in the Northwest conducting a campaign for higher education, the faculty entertained at dinner Thursday, in the domestic science rooms, at 6:30. Misses Longley and Countryman had the affair in charge and a delightful dinner was Iserved. Jonquils were used in decoration. Dr. Nash most happily expressed greetings to the guests of honor and appreciation of what they are accomplishing in their present work. Responses were made by Messers. Colgrove and Cotton. Later the entire company heard " The Hossier Schoolmaster " reading in the auditorium. — B.S.N.S. • JUNIOR MIXER The second group of jolly Juniors gaily listened to a program full of pleasing surprises last Friday evening in the auditorium.

A. girls climbed to the top of Sehome to hold a sunrise service. As they sang and each girl told what Easter meant to her, the birds sang with them and the sun slowly rose and shone beautifully. It was a most inspiring service. — B.S.N.S. OF FACULTY ARE MARRIED As a surprise to the school came the announcement of the marriage of two members of the faculty this week. Miss King of the extension department was married Christmas week to Robert Wiley of Grays Harbor County. The marriage was kept a secret from Miss King's friends at Normal, and it was only in reading an announcement of the marriage in a Montesano paper that the news was revealed. Mr. Wiley is county assessor 01 Grays 'Harbor County. Miss Cook of the training school surprised her friends- by being married last Saturday in Seattle. She is now Mrs. John Witten. After a very brief honeymoon Mrs. Witten took up her duties last Thursday. B.S.N.S. s LEAVES NORMAL Miss Maude Williams, for three years a member of the physical education department, is leaving school shortly. Miss Williams finds her present duties too arduous, along with her work in the Bellingham School of Music and her numerous private classes and pupils. It is with real regret that the students and faculty of the Normal see Miss Williams leave. Not only one of the most popular of faculty members, but a thorough master of her work and an inspiration in the class room, Miss Williams will be greatly missed by all. The Messenger wishes her success in all her undertakings of the future and assures her she carries with her the good will of the school. B.S.N.S. JUNIORS CHALLENGE SENIORS The boys of the Junior Class hereby challenge the Senior boys to a track meet to be held any day after April 10th. I ENJOY AN OUTING Last Saturday afternoon the Normal's Hiking Club visited Lake Pad-den. About forty Normal students with Mr. Coughlin and Mr. Kolstad went on this, the second hike of the season. The course followed by the hikers lay along the base of Sehome Hill, across Happy Valley to the end of the car line. The remainder of the trail went along the pipe line which carries water to South Bellingham. After arriving at the lake, a suitable place was soon discovered to build a fire. Most of the party went out on excursions for the purpose of exploration and discovery. Two good rowboats were found and much pleasure was afforded those who were fortunate enough to get a ride in one of them. A few of the more adventurous ones went completely around the lake. Two of the young ladies had the misfortune to get on a log which was not strong enough to sustain so great a weight. The inevitable result was that they slipped into the water and got wet — naturally! Several good snaps were taken of the hikers and their camp. The best part of the hike came at 5 o'clock when they devoured the good things they had brought with them. Everyone agreed that Miss Pitman was entitled to first honors when it came to eating marsh-mallows. After dinner camp was cleared and the tired crowd started for home.

The Churckanut Marathon is a yearly event and is conducted under the auspices of the Students' Association. The Herald cup, which has been in circulation for the past few years, is given to the class or faculty having the highest percentage of its members reach the top of Chuckanut Mountain during the day. A very enjoyable time was experienced by all who participated last year. Some left the city between 12 and 1 A. M. and one group actually reached the summit and had signed up at 1 A. M. Groups reached the top at all hours of the day, signing the book and eating their lunches, after which the descent was made. Many took the Interurban to Hi-Bridge station from where the top of Chuckanut can be reached in an hour's hiking. Last year the Seniors carried off the trophy by the narrow margin of .22 per cent. One hundred twenty-six Juniors, or 41.14 per cent of their entire enrollment, and 61 Seniors, or 41.36 per cent of their entire enrollment, reached the summit. Only seven faculty members made the hard climb, but this year they may surprise us. Twenty faculty members reaching the top woulud give them a very high percentage. Several groups have scaled Chuckanut Mountain already this year to get in shape for the coming event. They report that the trail is in fine shape for _- so early in the season. Normalites whe A are free on week ends should set aside J^ some Saturday to make themselves familiar with the trail before the main event on April 16. B.S.N.S. THE PLAY "SHADOWS" GIVEN IN ASSEMBLY Last Friday's assembly was a stirring one with which to end the week. The school responded with great spirit when Mrs. Thatcher lead the new color song, adapted by Arthur Bowsher. Following the song and the announcements, a one-act play, " Shadows " was given by members of Mrs. Smith's last quarter expression class. As Mrs. Smith announced, this clever little production was really a "play within a play," being a story of today with a tragedy of the Civil War enacted as a dream. Considering the fact that the play was practically coached by the cast itself, the play was well presented. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1921 April 1 - Page 2 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 1921 NICHOLS HALL NOTES Miss Funkhouser entertained at a "ten-thirty" luncheon Friday evening, the following girls being present: Margaret Wells, Judith Lundberg, June Zepernick and Alice Satre. Susie Hickey journeyed to Lynden as usual Friday night. Catherine Deemer and Vera Dunbar hiked to Deming Friday evening and from there took the stage to Wicker-sham where they visited friends over the week .end. These girls claim the honor of being the two best hikers at Normal. A bunch of the Nicholites enjoyed an Easter dinner at Whatcom Falls Sunday. B.S.N.S. TRAINING SCHOOL Miss Pederson is assisting Miss Morse with the Girl Scouts. Iris Van Horn is the chairman of the club, Marie Hau-gen the secretary, while Agnes Clark and Eleanor Brown are the patrol leaders. Because Bernice Musser has left the training school, the chairman will have to appoint a third leader. Talent is being displayed in the work of the girls of the Handicraft Club. The seventh, eighth and ninth grade girls are eligible to the club. Last Friday they were recovering classics for Miss Crawford. Others Avere tatting, crocheting, beading, embroidering and making baskets. A good spirit of interest and work was shown by everyone. George Van de Wetering is sponsor of the Boys' Club. He is assisting them in parliamentary drill. The Boy Scouts have for their new scoutmaster, Mr. Young. The most interesting topic to the boys is hiking and they will soon go to Chuckanut Mountain. The training school entertained many visitors, both children and adults, because of vacation in the city schools. Every department had its quota of friends who came to spend the day. Those interested in astronomy should have attended the Junior High School assembly last Wednesday, March 23, when members of the seventh B class gave short talks about stars and planets. A musical trio, consisting of piano, bass viol and violin was'given. B.S.N.S. JENKINS HALL NEWS sent the Blue and White yet, but there are rumors that Stevenson will occupy the "box," while Nathan Coles will catch. The coach has succeeded in obtaining two games with St. Martin's College, Whatcom and Fairhaven and one game with Ferndale. He also expects to have a game with either Mount Vernon, Sedro-Woolley or Anacortes. The dates for these games have not been arranged yet. B. S. N. S. DRESS REFORM —FOR WOMEN The various schools in the country especially the high schools, have elected members of their student bodies to consider the problem of dress of the young women students. Short skirts, high heels, large ear puffs, powder and rough have all been condemned. The question arises, what shall Nor-malites do about dress reform? Are we to let the young high school girls outdo us by dressing in a more respectable attire, while we go on as before? Or shall we, too, start that much-needed reform in our own school and do away with the ridiculously high heel, rouge and above all, the " too short" skirt ? Girls, let's think about it! B.S.N.S. GIRLS' ATHLETICo Easter Sunday evening Loretta Good-fellow entertained the Jenkins Hall girls at a spread. Everyone left voting that the eats were excellent. Louise Calouri was the dishwasher. Romayn Gilbert spent the week end at her home in Mount Vernon. Jenkins Hall girls are enjoying the spring evenings playing croquet. Mrs. Steinman spent Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Lebold, of this city. v Saima Blum spent Easter Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Macbeth at their home at Lake Whatcom. B.S.N.S. OUTLOOK FOR BASEBALL The boys have been practicing baseball every night at the Elks Park. Sam Carver has not picked the team to repre- Work has been started in the gym classes, under the direction of Miss Moffat, for the Tulip Festival, which will be given in April. Elaborate preparations are being made for the annual May festival, which will be given in the Armory, May 30th, in place of the lawn festival which was given last year. Almost any day girls may be seen carrying huge bows, arrows and a target to the campus. Don't be frightened. They are trying to be second Robin Hoods, but I fear that we would hate to have ourselves shot at. One of the most exciting basketball games of the season, and also the last, was witnessed by a few loyal rooters in the Fairhaven gym last Saturday evening when the Normal girls defeated the Fairhaven girls with a score of 28-25. This game gives to our girls the city championship, and we are proud of them. They played with vim and fought to the last, keeping the ball out of the hands of their Fairhaven opponents. Miss Mead and her little bag were in prominenec during the evening, although, none of our girls were hurt. Those representing our team were Geraldine Tyler and Pearl Whitmore, forwards; Edith Cain, Irene Philips and Ada Dibble, guards; Gladys Weir and Pauline Bornstein, centers. B. S. N. S. ASSEMBLY NOTES Dr. McPhail introduced Miss Helen Crissman, a very enthusiastic missionary worker, in assembly on Wednesday. Miss Crissman spoke on the importance of investing that which is most worth while wliQre it will do most good. Inspiration and good cheer permeated the call for willing workers in the missionary field. The hopeful future of missionary schools is a sure thing, as seen by Miss Crissman.

Lawson BLOUSES, SILK AND LISLE HOSE ALL COLORS POPULARIZING BOTANY " Why does the amount of red clover seed depend on the number of old maids in the community?" asked a professor of his botany class one day. Nobody could give the scientific relationship between old maids and red clover seed. Some one in the class more advanced in years offered a few words in self-defense, at which the professor laughed heartily. This was his reasoning: "If old maids are fond of cats, and cats relish field ipice, and field mice like the larvae of bumblebees, then, the more old maids, the more cats; the more cats the fewer field mice; the fewer field mice, the more bumblebees, the better distribution of pollen and the more red clover seed." ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1921 April 1 - Page 3 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 1921 3 jlilliiliiilin mi iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiimiiiitiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiimi IIIIIIIIIII i ijj ALUMNI Maud Wilson '19 is teaching at Startup, this state. # # # Mrs. Florence Rice Vaughn '19 is now making her home in East Wenat-chee. * * * Jessie Shidler is teaching in Montana. » # * Among our November graduates Laura Bangle is teaching at Humptu-lips, Esther Olson at Euphrata and Gertrude Reese at Swofford. * * * Clara Peterson, who graduated from the three-year course last summer, is now teaching in her home town at Sil-verdale. • # * Gertrude Mclrvin, '20 is teaching at Ridgefield. # * * Elizabeth Egbert '18 is teaching near Burlington. * » » Myrtle Major '20 and Crete Gray '19 have accepted teaching positions in Hilo, Hawaii, for the coming year. — - B .

How often have you seen students cutting corners or hastening across the lawn? Signs on the grass remind us to take an extra step or two, if need be, to keep to the walks. The campus has already been marred by unsightly paths made by careless students. Let us strive to repair the damages already done by heeding these signs, and let our motto be, " Think twice before you step." — CATHERINE DEEMEE B.S. N.S.

Newton Assembly Gladys Ryan SPRING FEVER This is the time of year for " spring fever." How can it be avoided when everything out of doors is so inviting? Perhaps it is because the epidemics of " spring fever " are a year apart that we forget how violent the last attack was, and think there was never another like the present one. We may be optimistic about the present, attack and hope that the bustling about so noticeable the past week was caused by suppressed ambitions beginning to crop out. But wasn't some one correct after all when he wrote "With the spring and its balmy air There is restlessness everywhere. This unrest^has* been known forever, Among the people of the earth as 'spring fever.' " 'Life is mostly froth and bubble, Two things stand like stone — Kindness in another's trouble, Courage in your own." * * — . — . i — . . — . . — . . — . . — . . — . „ _ . — . . — » — . . — . — . _ . . _ . _ . „ — , _ , . _ . . _ . . _ . . — , _ « . - . | „ j . * T * l * f ** Ii ** lI * i * I * I ** f! *! *I I? •C|«f gt;-u—«•—«i—» «»—1« u ..—• gt; » gt;a—» •• ,.—„—_.. ,.__», M-_M H ., .,—_,. » lt;i»)|» DR. COLGROVE SPEAKS E sang like the spirit of Spi'ing in that dawn flushed air, While the angels opened their doors and the whole sky listened." — Ex. PUNCTUALITY The business of the Normal would run much more smoothly if people were always careful to be " on time." Directors of class plays and chairmen of committees would not have such anxious, worried faces if students came to 9 o'clock meetings at 9 o'clock and not 9:10, 9:20 or 9:30. There are few trials more annoying to the best-natured person than to, wait — and thus waste precious minutes. Being late is sometimes unavoidable, but one of the finest compliments that can be paid a person is that " he is always on lime." A young lady applied at the office of a wholesale store for a position as a bookkeeper. The manager promised her an interview on the following morning at 9 o'clock. The young lady reached the manager's office at 10 o'clock, on the following morning and after apoligizing for being late, asked, " Mr. Jones, did you decide that you needed another bookkeeper? " The manager arose and replied: "Miss Smith, although I need a bookkeeper very badly, your tardiness prevents me from hiring you, as punctuality is the first essential of a good bookkeeper." In assembly, Monday, Dr. Colgrove, of the Iowa State Teachers' College, and author of a great many books on pedagogy, gave a very interesting and dynamic talk. His subject was "What Kind of Teacher Shall I Be? " He said that the great problem in our country is not that there be more people, but better people. He paid great tribute to the normal schools for the part they have had in helping to bring about better educational conditions, and the still greater part they are to play. Dr. Colgrove was one of the leaders who has helped bring Iowa forward in its school rating. He challenged our own state, which at present stands just ahead of Iowa in rating. He is an old friend of Dr. Nash's and paid high tribute to our president. On the whole, Dr. Col-grove's lecture was full of ideals and ideas, and we hope for the privilege of hearing him again. B.S. N.S. PROSPECTS FOR BIG ENROLLMENT AT SUMMER SCHOOL The chances are against it, according to Dr. Nogue, a Belgian physician. By way of showing that, dientally speaking, the world is approaching a crisis he gives the following percentages of bad teeth, first among the ancients and then among the moderns: Anglo- Saxons 14 to 17, Gauls 21, Romans 27, Egyptians 40, Eskimos 3, East Indians 10, Australians 20, Kaffirs and negroes 30, Chinese 40, Europeans 95. How he learned that 40 per cent of the ancient Egyptians, for example, had. bad teeth is not stated. But the situation is much worse with the moderns: Hungarians 75, Italians 92, Russians 80, Austrians 85, English 85, Norwegians 89, Germans 95, Danes 91, Americans 91, Swedes 93, B.S. N.S. TRIBUTE TO MISS WILLIAMS So many requests for catalogs from students planning to attend Normal this summer have come in that the supply is exhausted, and Dr. Miller is busy getting the new catalog into shape for publication. Dr. Nash announced this week that he expects a record-breaking attendance this summer. With its climate, its location, its equipment and faculty, our school easily ranks as one of the most attractive and profitable summer schools of the West. B.S. N.S. OLDER BOYS' CONFERENCE SPRING CLEANING Now that the first days of sunshine and spring have arrived, let us begin our spring housecleaning and take an inventory of ourselves. Just now the Normal is being cleaned. Old worn-out things are thrown away. Old flooring and desks are discarded because they are useless bits, of knowledge. Then when we have made a thorough cleaning we shall fill in with new thoughts and Did Beowulf, Julius Caesar and ideas. Let's clean out the cobwebs, be wide-awake, full of vigor i Vercingetorix, to say nothing of the and always on the jump. !f i r s t of the RameSes, have good teeth? The older boys' conference will be held the latter part of this week in Bellingham. This conference is sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. Boys from Seattle, Everett, Mount Vernon and Anacor-tes among other places will gather here for this conference. A few of the Normal School men are interested in this work and the invitation is extended to all men of the Normal. B. S. N. S. WORLD TO BE TOOTHLESS BELGIAN DOCTOR PREDICTS Is there space in our Messenger for praise of one of our teachers? I like almost all of the Normal teachers and am sure that I have never known a kinder, more patient, more polite group of people, but I love Miss Williams. Even in her large gym classes Miss Williams showed a personal interest in every student, but in small classes she was both teacher and friend. Miss Williams is perfectly poised, tender, loving and lovable — capable enough to command respect, kind enough to win love. We shall remember Miss Williams as one of our best loved teachers. — A STUDENT B.S. N.S. MISS WILBER SPEAKS IN ASSEMBLY Assembly on Wednesday was addressed by Miss Wilber, a specialist' in community drama. Her talk on " The Development of Community Drama" was enlivened by many experiences, both of Miss Wilber and other workers. The history of the community drama as shown by Miss Wilber began.in early Greece. In this country the little theater idea has grown up and become widespread only since 1911-12. The work of community drama is a work of special consideration for teachers, and should be recognized for its tremendous good. "All that is essentially necessary to present a one-act drama is desire to do so, space and two screens," says this specialist in the work. B. S. N.

EVENING IN BELLINGHAM Behind the hills the golden sun is sinking, And on Sehome it casts a golden glow, The twilight's gleam will soon be shrinking, shrinking, Into the dusk of eve, where shadows grow. The mystic bay is strewn with bars of silver, Its rippling waters stilled o'er all the deep, Save where the night breeze sets the tide a-quiver, And gently lulls the little waves asleep. The kind old moon looks down to smile so brightly, Upon the school where hope has been our guide, Each silver eve, it adds its splendor nightly To tell us that its hopes with us abide. And so our school is in the care of others, Old Sehome folds it gently to its •breast, And loves it like the tehderest of mothers And breathes a prayer for our B. S. N. S.

S. N. S. THREE ROADS —THE POET'S DREAM Three roads there are that stretch away, Three roads that promise fair: And one of these shall be the way That I my burdens bear. The lowest of life's winding trails Has store of good and ill; It wanders in the daisy vales And o'er the sloping hill. This one trail the masses know And onward still they tread, Rejoicing, sorrowing as they go And eat their daily bread. The road of roses reaches higher, To heights of fame, at last. Will then the roses satisfy desire When all the thorns are past? For oft the rose cannot repay Him who has gained the end — For much he's had to put away — Faith, love and many a friend. The land of lilies lies afar, But surer this way of love; And its rewards the greatest are To him who looks above. And One will lead him by the hand And never let him go, That he may reach the lily-land And sweetest pleasure know. Oh, lily, with the heart of gold, Thou shalt my emblem be — And Father, if my faith grow cold, Come Thou and strengthen me. — DOROTHY M. HIIX. B.S.N.S.

An experimental study just completed shows that the mental age of the individual bears a direct relationship to the physiological age as indicated by height and weight. The results show that each chronological age the physiologically accelerated boys and girls have a higher mental age than those of the average or below the average physiological age. The girls when classified on this basis, show a higher mental age for a given chronological age than do the boys. Girls are on the average mentally older than boys.— BIRD T.

It is hoped that it will be finished this year. B . S . N .

The Philos initiated new members at their last meeting. Instead of being put through the usual ceremonies the new members were compelled to furnish the program. THESPIAN The Thespian program was " Uncle Sam's Family," • costume studies in dialect. Clever selections were given representing the different types of people living in the United States, such as cowboys, negroes, Italians and Swedish people. ALETHEIAN Instead of their usual program, the Aletheians held a rehearsal of " Every-student." The play promises to be a very good one, and will be presented in assembly. RURAL LIFE At 5 o'clock Thursday evening the jolly Rural Life Club had a picnic on the top of Sehome. It was as much .fun as a picnic can be, and showed the spirit for whicli this club is noted. PHILO At their business meeting. Tuesday morning the Philos elected four people to membership. They were Austin Bond, Dora Duffield, Paul Young and Millie Young. This gives the Philos their full membership. The Thespians refused the* Philo challenge to the annual club debate. No doubt they thought it better to withdraw gracefully than to retire in disgrace. OHIYESA A meeting of the Ohiyesa Club was held in the club room Thursday, March 24. After the business meeting Margaret Stapleton gave a report on " The Duet of the Flowers" (Madame Butterfly). Miss Wallace continued her lecture on " The Stars." B.S.N.S. BE AWAKE, ALERT, ALIVE! Most Norma]) students will make some trip during each week. If you do not, plan to do so.

XX BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 1921 NO. 24 BIRD SANCTUARY TO BE STUDENTS TO ESTABLISH A MEMORIAL FOR MISS BAKER A most beautiful and symbolical ceremony is being planned for the dedication of a bird sanctuary as a part of the commencement program. Every organization in the school including the Junior and Senior Classes and the Training School are asked to participate. The ceremony is to be short and symbolical of spring, birds and nature. It is to take on the form of a song pageant with the Alkisiahs opening and closing the program. The exercises are to be held about a corner-stone. The organization will form in back of the dormitory and will march, led by the Alkisiahs, before the audience and each club in turn will do its part, no club taking longer than four minutes. Each club is asked to decide this week as to what it will do; songs or poems about nature are most desirable. Reports as to what will be done by each organization must be handed to Eunice Montague as soon as possible. While this will be the dedication of the sanctuary and undoubtedly the most beautiful affair given on the campus for years, yet the Alkisiahs hope to have this ceremony given each year.

The money for this has been raised by the graduate, registered nurses in their organizations, among the lay people in their districts, and interested physicians. This money is to be divided in three equal parts and distributed between the American Nurse Association, the League of Nursing Education and the National Organization for Public Health Nursing. There is nothing which can contribute more to the health and well-being of a state than an intelligent opinion concerning sickness and health, and the standards of those entrusted with the nursing and care of the people. Nursing standards are higher than they have ever been. This is one of the results of the war. Rank for nurses has been accomplished, nursing is a real profession. In the training schools for nurses the nurse applicant must be a high school graduate. The eight-hour day is an- (Continued on page 2.) .OF NORMAL SPEAKS One of the best talks of the year was given at last Friday's assembly by Dr. Cotton, president of the Normal School of La Crosse, Wisconsin. Dr. Cotton emphasized the fact that only by putting well prepared teachers into the rural schools could the decline of rural school education be checked. He described the six types of teachers found in the schoolrooms today as the profuse, gushing teacher who doesn't know the difference between a nursery and the school room; the snappy, suspicious teacher; the nervous, energetic, worried one; the self-satisfied, deliberate, lazy teacher; the disciplinarian who rules by the rod and strong right arm, and last of all the gentle, womanly woman who, despite theories to the contrary, makes the school room a bright, sunny place which children love. He showed clealy that the teacher makes the school what it is of joy or sorrow to the child and to secure well trained teachers they must be paid a thrift, not a living wage. " The teachers of this country can control teachers' salaries if they put the right-spirit into their work," Dr. Cotton said. . • LECTURE SPEAKER E On the night of March 31st, Mr. Beilharz, the last lecture speaker of the season, gave a faithful and colorful reproduction of the " Hoosier Schoolmaster." Mr. Beilharz has been giving this same lecture for three years, and knows his subject thoroughly. The students applauded him continually and were grateful for the treat. It would indeed be a pleasure to have Mr. Beilharz back again. B. S. N. S. L TO At 8 o'clock tonight in the gymnasium of Whatcom High School, there will be the greatest exhibition of physical strength and skill that has ever been witnessed in Bellingham. Two of the largest high schools in New York City gave an entertainment of this kind and found it to be a wonderful success. Normal and Whatcom High have always been rivals in such athletic contests as baseball, basketball and track. Tonight the meet for the first time in an event which is of an entirely different nature. The Normal will match its champions against those of Whatcom in wrestling, boxing and other contests of this type, such as juggling, balancing and weight lifting. The evening's program is as follows: Boxing — Daley, Y. M. C. A. vs. Al Biddle (professional). Boxing—Powell, Normal, vs. Pearson, High School. Boxing — Groot, Normal, vs. Quack-enbush, High School. A girls' boxing match. Wrestling demonstration by Reed of the local Y. M. C. A. Wrestling—Shaffer, Normal vs. Pan-net, High. School. Wrestling — Squires, Normal, vs. expert professional. Besides the contests mentioned are some circus stunts worth seeing. Professional judges have been secured to referee the games. Come out and show your school spirit. Tickets are on sale at the book store, 25c and 35c. Ice cream will be sold at the gym. Remember it begins promptly at 8 o'clock. B. S. N. S. Go to the smoker at AVhatcom Saturday night. Encourage your boys. E. FRANCES ALDA APRIL 13 NOTED CONCERT SINGER TO APPEAR AT AMERICAN THEATER Mine. Frances Alda, one of the world's most brilliant and popular sopranos, who has appeared in the greatest opera houses and concert halls of Europe and America, is to sing at the American Theater Wednesday, April 13, at 8:15, under the auspices of the Bellingham Woman's Music Club. Again this season Miss Erin Ballard, pupil of Frank La Forge, will be Mme. Alda's accompanist. She is a talented young American artist, and will give several solos. Miss Ballard has won hearty commendation from critics of the press. " Success cannot be attained without work, and my creed has been work, work, and more work," is a message Mme. Alda has given. Work to her means preparedness, and it was this which enabled her to appear in sixty different concerts and a score of opera performances during the past season. Besides appearing in concerts and opera performances, Mme. Alda has sung for the Victor Company, and her records are in many homes. " This young beauty has a voice of exquisite quality, fresh with the beauty and fullness of youth, and alluring in its color, clear as crystal in the high tones, mellow, warm and appealing," is the tribute paid to her by the Portland Evening Express. STUDENT ¥0DY ELECT OFFICERS FOR YEAR At last Friday's assembly the Student Body elected the board of control for next year. The following members were chosen: Elsie Minor, president; Carol Haeske, vice president; Marion Collier, Mrs. Edna Anstett, Esther Cook, student representatives; Mr. Bond, faculty representative. Mr. Heckmann was reappointed by the faculty as the other faculty representative. Elsie Minor is a Thespian, was on the debate team and was the star player on the basketball team. Carol Haeske belongs to the Philos and was a brilliant debater in high school. Marion Collier is a Philo and a physical education (Continued on page 2.) ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1921 April 8 - Page 2 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 1921 FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE CENTENARY FOUNDATION (Continued from page 1.) other forward step. A change in the curriculum of some of the colleges works with the training schools, giving three years of scientific work with two of hospital training, the nurse earning a S. B. degree. Public health nurses are being established in rural communities. In her work in any community the public health nurse endeavors to avail herself of the most effective methods in health education. Since any forward steps must be made by the people themselves, one of the first endeavors is to reach the home and as the main interest of the home is largely true of the community. Lieutenant Col. . Freemantle says, " The whole educational system of the country should see that no boy, girl or young adult is turned out into the world's work without having acquired not only the habits of healthy living but also according to his or her intellectual assets with a positive understanding of the means by which he or she may contribute to the health of the nation. Much depends on public opinion, and everyone has a certain responsibility in shaping public opinion." Talk health. The dreary changing tale Of mortal maladies is worn and stale. You cannot charm, interest or phase By harping on that minor chord, disease. ' B.S.N.S.: NEW BOARD OF CONTROL IS ELECTED (Continued from page 1.) major girl. Mrs. Anstett is the wife of Coach Anstett of Whatcom High, and she has already served on the board, as she was appointed to fill a vacancy. Esther Cook is a Thespian and one of the Community Players. Mr. Bond is one of the most popular faculty members, and has faithfully served on the board of control for five years. He is Junior Class adviser, and an important person in the affairs of the Normal. Mr. Heckmann is head of the department of manual training, and has been an efficient member of the board. B.S. N.S." BARBAROUS RITES PERFORMED Many smiling victims of the latest atrocity have been seen linking along corridors or making slow progress down stairways. When asked what the trouble is, they will smile mysteriously and proudly say, " Philo initiation." Evidently this initiation was " some party," but since the victims swore upon bended knees never to reveal its terrors, the public must be satisfied with vague rumors. Prohibition enforcement officers will perhaps be surprised to learn that the Philos are serving a new brand of eocktail; while those who were initiated will appreciate the humor of the expression " delicious refreshments were daintily served." The new members seemed, however, to enjoy the torture, for they limped home singing lustily, "Oh, why? Oh why, does a Philo feel this way? For once a Philo, always a Philo, forever and a day." B.S.

FORMER BELLINGHAM PASTOR SPEAKS A former pastor of thel Garden Street Methodist Church, Dr. Elliott, spoke in assembly on Monday. The vigorous message given by Dr. Elliott was that the common people of our country need to be awakened to a sense of duty. Everyone deems his talent so small and the business of the world so great that he is afraid to use his talent. " There isn't one of us who can't be of real srevice," declared the speaker. However small one's service to society and to the world, he must not depreciate its value. Not many, but very few can be recorded in history for great services. But remember the Book of Remembrances; it is faithfully kept." The theme of Dr. Elliott's message was indeed thoughtful. He spoke at the Garden Street Church where he was formerly pastor for one year, on Sunday morning. B.S. N.S. MISS WHITE GIVES INTERESTING TALK Miss Marjorie White, a social service worker, spoke in assembly on Monday. She has had personal experience under many conditions where a large number of girls are employed. Miss White's plea was for the realization of the responsibility held by the small country town school teacher, whose pupils go to the city to work in factories and canneries, as well as other places where young women find work. Most of the education of these young women is obtained before they leave home. Therefore a large responsibility rests with the teachers of these girls. Miss White was the guest of Miss Montgomery last week. B. S. N. S. BOYS' ATHLETICS Mr. Carver says that he has spent twelve dollars on phone calls trying* to arrange a baseball game with some high school team for the coming Saturday.

B.S.N.S. ASSEMBLY NOTES A representative of the Life Service department of the Methodist Church, Miss Lytton, was introduced by Dr. Harrison, of the local Methodist Church in assembly Monday. Miss Lytton spoke for a few minutes o n" The Co-operation of the Citizens of the World to Do Better Things." As an example of a field where work is needed for all sorts of trained specialists, she gave China. The uncleanliness in China is a menace to all the world. Here, then, is a chance for teachers, nurses, doctors and other trained specialists to do what they can for world needs. * This department represented by Miss Lytton is an office where people who wish to give their service to foreign or home work may become affiliated with the work done by the Methodist •Church. An opportunity was given any one interested to speak with Miss Lytton after assembly in the faculty rest room, and a like opportunity was given after lunch at the dormitory.

This gift Was frdm the faculty in appreciation of the splendid -work Dr. Nash did for the school in securing the appropriation at the last session of the legislature. At the close of the banquet Dr. Nash himself called upon Mr. Heckman as president of the forum, little knowing the nature of the announcement Mr. Heckman was to make. In a few well chosen sentences Mr. Heckman expressed to Dr. Nash the appreciation of the faculty and presented him with the gift. Although utterly surprised Dr. Nash responded happily. B.S.N.S.—— UNIT OF N. E. A. AT NORMAL Formal application seeking the establishment of a unit of the N. E. A. at this school was forwarded to national headquarters last Monday by Dr. Nash. The list submitted contained the names of fifty members of the faculty.

The class studied how 1,500 young chickens were being brooded; they also visited the laying flock. They reported, 22,000 eggs incubated at one time, one hatching was just beginning, another was just comjjleted. Hawley's poultry farm is one of the largest in the county. It is one of the most profitable and practical in the country, being modern in every way. The class took away some cull baby chicks with which they are experimenting. B. S. N. S. MISS WOODARD RETURNS FROM CONVENTION At the meeting of Dean of Women in Spokane last week Miss Woodard presented a paper on " Class Work vs. Other Student Activities." While there, Miss Woodard was a guest at a banquet given by the Cheney Normal to the people from the three Normal Schools and to the legislators who were interested in the educational campaign. On her return trip she visited the wonderful new dormitory at Cheney. She studied in detail this addition to Cheney's Normal under the direction of President Black and Miss Skinner, head of the home economics department. B.S.N.S. ANOTHER HIKERS' TRIP Last Saturday evening Paul Young took a troop of Boy Scouts to Chuck-anut and camped with them over night. Next morning the boys got up early and hiked through the snow to Lost Lake, about six miles. They enjoyed their experience very much. Several fine specimens of mountain trout were caught by the boys. The trail made by Mr. Young and his Scouts served as a guide for Austin Bond and Tony Boettcher, who had undertaken to lead another party to the hidden lake. B.S.N.S.

The machine is for use in the auditorium. This stereopticon is made of two lanterns, one mounted above the other, while each lanterns is equipped with a one thousand-watt Mazda lamp instead of an arc light. To get the dissolving effect there is a pair of iris diaphragm which fit over the ends of the lenses, and in changing slides the picture that is on the screen gradually fades away, while at the same time the next picture gradually appears. Naturally the screen effects are much more pleasing than those with an ordinary single lantern, because there is no sliding of the picture across the screen. It is inspiring to note how generously students of schools all over the United States have responded to the call for the Chinese relief. One student body of forty-five pledged $180 to this charity. These young people were much interested in the work of giving, and thus helping some one else to get a glimpse of a better life. The churches are doing a great work in handling this relief call, and people all over our land have responded generously. Following is a brief account of China's dire need, as given in an exchange: Bishop W. H: Lambuth, in charge of the Methodist missions in'North China, where 45,000,000 are faced with starvation as the result of a disastrous flood followed by two seasons of drouth, says: " Their clothes are ragged and scanty. Their only food is a gruel made of weeds, leaves, chaff and corn-cobs. One cold night in January in one refugee camp alone, one thousand of these starved, weakened human creatures froze to death. What is to be done must be done within the next five months, yes, within the next two or three months. Otherwise millions will perish." The death rate in the famine section is estimated at 15,000 daily, with typhus and other diseases beginning to rage. The only hope of the despairing millions is in food supplies provided in tremendous quantities by the people of the United States. JOHN BURROUGHS The passing of John Burroughs is like the crash of some patriarchal pine towering above the younger forest. After Howells' death he was left a solitary landmark in American letters. He had contributed to the Atlantic soon after it was founded; he had been one of the close friends of Whitman in the sixties; he was a disciple of Emerson and Agassiz while those men were in their prime; he had published permanent contributions to our literature years before Howells, James or Mark Twain. In all his writings there was a flavor derived from the old New England school. It was so strong in his first essays that the president of Harvard quoted him by mistake for Emerson. In Burroughs' latest essays the transcendentalism cropped out like granite. To the East especially it is a shock to lose the venerable figure who for years has welcomed pilgrims at Slabsides on his April birthday as at some public celebration. In one sense he belonged to the whole country. In another we feel that he belonged to this section, as Muir belonged to the West and Wilson and Audubon lo the South. Wherein Burroughs' fame lies has long since been decided. It is in that long series of essays beginning with " Wake Robin " and ending with " Under the Apple Trees," in which he treats landscape, animals, and birds with a combination of scientific accuracy and literary charm that has seldom been equalled. ,, Like his beloved Thoreau, like many students of nature, he was a philosopher. Near the end, of his life his reflections upon cosmis questions were expressed with more freedom than power. They added to our knowledge of a lovable and impressive personality, but not to his literary fame. The last is pinned to books like " Pepacton," " Locusts and Wild Honey," and " Winter Sunshine," which carry into the far distance the trail that Thoreau opened up in " Excursions." Not till rather late in his career did Burroughs feel a strong interest in geology. For a few other branches of science he cared little. But he stands quite alone in his presentation of scenery and wild life in the varied region stretching' from the Housa-tonic and Adirondacks to that Potoriias region which inspired much of his earliest writing. The everyday birds; the everyday bees and ants; the everyday animals — woodchuck, muskrat and squirrel; the experiences of a small farmer in the Hudson Valley, of a trapper in the Catskills, of a fisher along the upper Susquehanna — these he describes incomparably. It is a quiet, genial Nature that he pictures. Tens of thousands have first learned from him how accessible and attractive she is. — New York Post. I can see coal creating power which sews soles to upper leather of shoes, moving shuttle in weaving cloth, engraving designs in silver plates. — Alice Loers. I n a factory where iron articles are manufactured, coal is burning and giving off heat enough to melt the ore. No matter how intense heat a stove, for instance, is subject to from the wood fire, it will not melt. Yet this same material will melt over an intensely hot coal fire. — I. Sagen. Calls before my mind pictures I have seen of long lines of machinery running and working as a result of power ' g o t t en from turning of coal. You could ' see numbers of people at the different i individual places going through the same '. motions day after day in doing their p a r t to produce some big article, for instance the man who makes and shapes the rims in a tire factory does not make the tire but only his part of it, which is the rim. — Genevieve Rogers. I Coal is used to run the machinery, i The burning of the coal furnishes the power. The burning of coal with copper expels the gas. It is burned in the furnace to produce steam which runs the ' engine. — E d i t h PrevedelJ. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1921 April 8 - Page 5 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 1921 5 AT THE NEW DIRECTION OF JENSEN AND VON HERBERG NOW PLAYING TILL SATURDAY NIGHT PRISCILLA DEAN AND — LON CHANEY IN a Outside The Law M An Amazing Story of Frisco's Chinatown and the Barbary Coast Viewed from the Inside lt; gt; lt;KHKK gt; lt; gt; lt; gt; lt;X gt;0 lt; gt;O00 lt; gt;CK gt; lt;KKKKK gt;O0 lt;KK^ COMING FIRST THREE DAYS OF WEEK lt;W0 lt;H gt;0OOO lt;XXKK}0 lt;H gt; lt; gt;( gt;0 lt; gt;OO lt; gt;CKKKKK) Hobart Bosworth — IN — "The Brute Master" ANSWERS IN GEOGRAPHY TEST Mr. Hunt kindly submitted the following excerpts from his geography tests: Coal produces heat when burned and heat in turn produces power in factories to manufacture machinery, clothing, to produce articles of food, that is taking heat, etc.; in making cereals, flour, etc. Turns mills or turns machinery to produce or turn out the finished articles; helps to combine articles to' make a whole. First it helps to produce or assemble particles of iron into a mass or whole and it in turn melted into forms or shapes to produce pieces of machinery and when assembled as a whole to be run and turn out the finished product. In the clothing that we wear, houses that we live in, some food that we eat, mode of transportation over countries or to or from countries, can be traced to coal. That is, it plays its part in some way.;—R. Johnson. Specific things — Turns machinery: Paper factory. I can see it grind the wood into pulp, and carrying the pulp into other sections. I can see the paper coming out of a machine in great rolls. Another machine takes up the rolls and cuts them into smaller ones, which are carried on. — L. Goodfellow. In a machine shop, coal is used for heating purposes, that is, it heats the ' iron and steel so that these can be poundeid into desired forms. Again in the mills, coal is used to turn the big saws which cuts the raw logs, and it also gives power to run the carriages back and. forth with the logs to be cut. And in factories where silverware is manufactured, it gives power to turn the larg (1) melting iron, (2) melting rubber for tires, (3) making the carding machines go to straighten out fibers, (4) making machines go to grind sand in order to make sand for cement, (5) to make power so a derrick can pui; the beams of a bridge across some river. — Mary Gevi. Coal produces power for heating metals for tempering and shaping. Coal produces great.heat and thus a gas that is of commercial value, and charcoal. Coal heats glass for producing new shapes. Coal turns machinery that produces great pressure on metals and compressed paper, cotton, rubber, etc. Coal products heat and steam that runs our powerful railroad engines, our steam buckets, conveyors and elevator^. It runs our ovean-going boats. Coal heats iron ore and makes pig iron. Coal heat produces our finest steel.—Gladys Ryan. In manufacturing it creates the power for running al lthe machinery. (1) Melting iron, (2) heating metals so that they can be formed into the shapes wanted, (3) producing power to run the machines that are used in forming these things, (4) making heat that is needed in drying certain products that are manufactured, (5) producing gas that will help in funning machines, (6) produce power in making implements of building work. — Flakay. The specific thing in the factory the coal put in the furnace the heat or power reached to a certain level and there the hundreds of different pieces of [machinery all start in going, running continuously then all day. In the shoe factory you probably would see a large piece of leather go into machinery and come out all cut in the same size, all pieces alike, in any machine probably would come out other pieces of short leather. In another part of the factory is a machine where the different parts of the shoe are put in and sewed by the machinery which calls for the power by the coal. — Irene Sixeas. Coal in the factory: It furnishes the enegry needed to turn the machinery in the manufacture of steel. We see it turning the wheels and the belts running back and forth with this power in the shoe factory smooths the rough edges and finishing work. — L. Acorn. Running machinery: Heating water for steam for moving machinery, and pressure. Coal as power: It generates heat to run the different parts of the machinery as turning lathes to grind down the different parts of machinery. Turns saws in sawmills. It gives power to turn the wheels of trains, etc. In the canneries it turns the different machines that fill the cans, run the topping machines, turn the belts that carry the cans, and heat the retorts. — Gladys Buchhoz. Coal is used in manufacturing plants. If one went into an automobile factory, huge belts or wheels would be turning but behind these, the coal would be furnishing the force to make the wheels turn. Then these wheels would smooth down the steel and iron converting them into automobile wheels. Another scene might be a shoe factory, immense furnaces heated through coal would cause* power to turn belts to weave down the leather and force it into shape. Forms steam to carry products out.—M. Healy. Coal furnishes power in (1) running noisy machinery, cogs, wheels and belts in factories, (2) making light and electricity, (3) furnishing heat in home and factories. — E. Davis. Furnishes power, for converting iron ore into steel. In a cotton factory, provides" the power for running the cotton gin. In a steel factory, provides the heat for the manufacture of steel rails. On a locomotive, provides the steam. In a flour mill the coal provides the power for turning the grist mill to grind the wheat into flour. — Gladys Davis. Coal when burned furnishes heat. This heat turns water into steam, the steam,, due to expansion, operates a piston, etc. turns wheels, and runs machinery. Thus the coal itself does not run the machinery, but through giving off it's heat, makes steam which is transferred into power. Indirectly, then, the coal might be said to run the machinery, but as an actual fact the coal itself does not do so. — Herbert Hansen. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1921 April 8 - Page 6 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRlDAYr APRIL 8r 1921 xiiinmimmimmimm mrai "» mi mi mm mimmi mi iimim 11 i T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!S Sviiiinniiiiiiiimitiiiiiiiimiij i"i" " imiunmmi immmmm mmiiiiii immiiimiiim mmiiim i immmiiiim i mimiimmm imimm|| SOCIETY The girls of Edens Hall had an unusually hilarious time Friday evening.

The members of the class had td prepare and demonstrate their method of selling some article. The class decided who was the best salesman. The point considered in deciding the vote were: Did the salesman use clear explanations, good reasons and did he make an emotional appeal? Those who saw the recitation said it was very good. Tests were. given to the Boy Scouts, and those who passed were Merle Kibbe, Edgar Wirth and Birny Cory. * * *. Are the girls of the. Junior High School good basketball players? You would say they are if you had have seen them play at Whatcom High School gymnasium against the Franklin team, last Wednesday, March 30. They won by a score of 14-12. At the end of the first half the score was a tie of 8-8, and when time was called at the last half there was again a tie of 12-12. They were given more minutes to play and the Junior High School girls made a basket which brought the score up to 14 to 12 in their favor. The following are the members of the team: Forwards, Iris Van Horn, also captain, and Thelma Newel; centers, Mariam Bixby and Elin Warden; guards, Marie Powers and Marguerite Johnson. Yarda Carlson substituted for Marguerite Johnson in the last half. The Messenger congratulates the team on their good work. * * # Would you like to know what happens to tadpoles, snails, perewinkles, cadis flies, frogs' eggs, wiggle tails, and water striders? Visit the kindergarten department and watch with the little pre-primary pupils the development of these various creatures that live in the water. Visitors of the fourth grade will notice the work that is being done by the boys and girls of that class. A climber fence, which is painted gray with rose-colored tips, has been made by the boys. They have also made gray and rose striped climbing sticks, and a gray bird house. A garden has also been planned, arid soon radishes, onions and lettuce will appear. Flowers are going to be included in the garden, for along the fence there will be lobelias, and a border of sweet peas. This has all been done by the boys, while the girls have made garden aprons and hats. These are made of old material!, brought from home. Some of them are hand embroidered, while others have flower patterns of contrasting colored clotfl|, finished with either yarn or embroidery thread.
