     ----------     THE NORMAL MESSENGER  SEPTEMBER, 1901  ANNOUNCEMENTS 
HE next session of the Whatcom State  Normal school will convene a t ten
o'clock,  Wednesday morning, September 4, 1901.  The opening exercises will
be held in the new  assembly hall in the main building, and the  program
will embrace the following numbers:  Song, "America" By the school

Announcements E. T. Mathes, Principal  Vocal Solo J. Claire Monteith, New
York City  Entrance examinations will be conducted  on Tuesday, September
third. Students wish­ing  to take this examination at a later date 
should so report to the principal.  The regular daily program will be
printed  and copies of this program will be placed in  the hands of each
student and with this in­formation  every student can readily arrange 
his daily program of work upon the opening  day.  The members of the
faculty will devote  Wednesday afternoon to meeting the students  and
assisting them in arranging their studies  for the first semester. On
Thursday morning  at 9 o'clock there will be a general meeting of  the
faculty and students, at which time full  announcements concerning the
daily work  will be made.  Each student immediately after his
classifi­cation  should provide himself with a copy of  T

     ----------     Normal Messenger - 1901 September

     ----------     4 The Normal Messenger  his daily program and
familiarize himself  with the various recitation rooms of the  building, so
that he will know exactly when,  where and to whom his classes will recite.
 The offices will be open at 9 o'clock Wed­nesday  morning for the
registration of  students Old students are urged to be pre­sent  and
register early, and it is hoped that  each one will consider himself a
special com­mittee  to welcome new students and intro­duce  them
to fellow students. New students  will also appreciate being shown the
arrange­ment  and accommodations of the buildings.  It is hoped that
every student, both new  and old, will enter the year's work with some 
well formed plan of that which he wishes to  do during the school year.
With this condi­tion  in hand each student can secure prompt  and
intelligent classification and enter upon  his regular work at once. It is
further hoped  that every new student will take up his work  with a fixed
purpose to complete some  definite course of study. This will prove a 
blessing both to the student and to the  character of the school.  A good
list of boarding places may be  found at the office of the principal, and
any  students who have not yet made their  arrangements for the year can
easily do so  by consulting this list of accommodations.  A list of rooms
for light housekeeping is also  at hand for students who desire such
accom­modations.  All students who desire to have some one  meet them
when they arrive, should notify  the principal of the exact train or boat
upon  which they will reach the city. This is neces­sary  as there are
several boats and trains  daily between Whatcom and Seattle. The  young
ladies of the Y. W. C. A. have made  ample arrangements to meet all
students and  it will be a pleasure for them to render this  service.

     ----------     Normal Messenger - 1901 September

     ----------     The Normal Messenger 5  IMPROVEMENTS  The most
important improvement around  the Normal school is of course the
construc­tion  of the new annex. The foundation and  basement story
were constructed entirely of  stone, and the progress was consequently 
slow, but by August 1st the brick walls were  started and at this writing
are nearly com­pleted.  The boiler has been removed from  the main
building and the two boilers are  being installed in the sub-basement of
the  annex. The passage between the two build­ings  is being
constructed as a part of the  annex hence the two buildings are being 
united permanently into one general struc­ture.  The indications are
that the annex  will be practically completed within contract  time, and
with the main building will present  a very substantial and imposing
appearance.  The rooms on the south end of the corridor  on the second
floor of the main building have  been completed and the hall wainscoted. 
Rooms 17, 18 and 19 have been varished and  otherwise improved.  Room 20
has been varnished and kalso-mined  and arranged for the reception of the 
museum. Room 21 has been completed with  a beautifully arched ceiling and
will be used  as an assembly hall until the auditorium is  completed, after
which it will be used as a  society hall. Room 3 has been divided into  two
rooms and will be used hereafter as a  public and private office. The old
office will  be used as a reception room.  The library has been kalsomined
and  several additional book cases constructed for  the room. Several large
pictures have also  been placed in this room.  The number of individual
tables in the  chemistry laboratory has been doubled, and  four additional
gas hoods have been added.  The physics laboratory has been moved  from
room 11 to room 8, and three additional

     ----------     Normal Messenger - 1901 September

     ----------     6 The Normal Messenger  tables provided. This
laboratory now ac­commodates  24 people for individual work.  Room 11
has been seated with chairs to serve  as a recitation room for science
classes.  Four compound microscopes and an ex­cellent  microtome have
been added to the  equipment of the biological laboratory. The  equipment
in the form of apparatus for the  chemical and physical laboratories has
been  more than doubled.  The boiler room in the main building has  been
divided into dressing rooms to be used  in connection with the new
gymnasium which  will be constructed in the rear of the main  building in
September.  Four large glass cases have been pur­chased  for the
museum which makes a total  of ten cases now in the museum room. This 
furniture makes it possible to display many  of the specimens brought from
all parts of  the world by Prof. J. Y. Collins.  The art department has
been moved from  room 2 to room 19, and twenty-five individ­ual 
drawing tables and four model stands  have been ordered for this
department.  Eight dozen table-arm chairs have been  ordered for the
recitation rooms recently  completed.  A very complete electric program
clock is  being placed in the main office, and hereafter  all signals will
be rung by this clock. This  clock will also ring the bells in the annex 
when the building is ready for service.  The room formerly occupied by the
art de­partment  will be used for science work in the  future. The
windows have been fitted with  close fitting shutters so that the large
pro­jecting  lantern may be used in the regular  class work. The upper
panels have been  removed from the doors leading into the reci­tation 
rooms, and replaced with glass. This  adds greatly to the appearance of the
halls  as well as to the convenience of both teachers  and students.

     ----------     Normal Messenger - 1901 September

     ----------     The Normal Messenger 7  Other minor changes have also
been  effected and all together the main building  presents a very
different appearance from  what it did last June, and a pleasant surprise 
awaits the old students.  NEW MEMBERS OF FACULTY  During the past year the
faculty has been  composed of twelve members. Eleven of  these remain for
the coming year and four  new teachers have been added to the force.  Dr.
J. N. Bowman, who will assist Dr.  Mathes with the work in history and
teach  German, is a graduate of Heidelberg Univer­sity,  Ohio, and a
post-graduate of Heidelberg  University,Germany. Dr.Bo wman has taught  in
the former institution and has also instruct­ed  in summer institutes
in Ohio.  Prof. Alexander P. Romine, who will have  charge of the work in
geology and will assist  in the biological work, is a graduate of the 
University of West Virginia, and has com­pleted  more than one year's
graduate work  in John Hopkins' University, Baltimore. Mr.  Romine has had
several year's experience in  public school work.  Miss Gertrude Earhart,
of Duluth, Minn.,  has been selected as grammar grade critic  teacher. Miss
Earhart is a graduate of the  State Normal School at St. Cloud, Minn., and 
was for four years a critic teacher in the same  institution. She is now
completiugtwo years'  study in the University of Michigan.  Miss Ino
Proctor, of Detroit, Mich., will  have charge of the vocal music and will
assist  Miss Hays with the work of physical culture.  Miss Proctor is a
graduate of the Detroit  Conservatory, of the Thomas Normal Train­ing 
School, and has spent two years in special  study at the University of
Wisconsin. Her  experience extends over several years in vari­ous 
lines of school work.

was the intention of the faculty to pub­lish  in this issue of the
Messenger the daily  program of classes for the first semester of  the
coming school year, but it has been found  impracticable to arrange the
program defi­nitely  without a general meeting of the faculty,  so the
printed program does not appear in  this issue. However, the program will
be  printed and ready for distribution upon the  opening day of school.
There will be classes  in all subjects found in the first semester of  all
years of all courses of study and also  review classes in several of the
common  branches.  THE TRAINING SCHOOL  The training school will occupy its
present  quarters in the main building until the annex  is completed after
which it will occupy two  entire floors of the new building.

     ----------     Normal Messenger - 1901 September

     ----------     The Normal Messenger 9  The accommodations of this
department  have been improved in many ways and an  additional critic
teacher has been added.  This allows a critic teacher for every thirty 
pupils. Not more than forty children are  allowed in any one room and the
enrollment  is limited to the accommodations of the  school.  In addition
to the regular subjects, instruc­tion  is given in drawing, vocal
music, physical  culture and German. The work of the school  covers eight
grades of work and pupils are  received under the same conditions obtained 
in the city schools.  No fee of any kind is collected from the  pupils and
all text books are furnished free.  The training school opens Monday
morn­ing,  Sept. 2, at 9 o'clock.  FACULTY  The summer has been an
exceedingly busy  one for Dr. Mathes, our principal. He has  given a
personal supervision to the repairs  which have been made to the main
building,  in addition to the regular office and field  work. More than two
thousand copies of the  new catalogue have been mailed and an  average of
twenty letters written daily.  During July Dr. Mathes and family spent  two
weeks camping at Lake Whatcom.  Prof. Forrest and family enjoyed camp life 
for several weeks at Lake Samish. Prof.  Forrest also spent some time at
the bedside  of a sister who died at her home in Chehalis  in July.  Prof.
