Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body,
Washington State Normal School VOL. XX BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY,
AUGUST 12, 1921 NO. 40 E Dr. Sears, who is conducting classes here in
education is an instructor of scholarship and experience, and possesses a
most pleasing personality. Students should consider it a privilege to
attend his classes even for the remaining short three weeks. Dr. Sears
received his degree from Columbia University and has been an instructor
in Stanford University for nine years. For the past year, having had a
statical leave of absence from Stanford, he has been giving lectures at
the University of Minnesota from which institution he has come to
Bellingham Normal. Next month he will return to Stanford and resume
former work. Besides' his work as a college instructor, Dr. Sears has
pursued a number of special studies. He participated in the Salt Lake
survey and was director of the survey at Boise, Idaho. On this work he
wrote a book of some 300 pages entitled "Boise Survey." Among his other
written works is his book on " Classroom Organization and Control," and
numerous magazine articles. A book dealing with school administration is
now in progress. Asked his impressions of the Bellingham Normal, Dr.
Sears replied with the genial sincerity that characterizes him: " You may
say that I am not only favorably impressed with the Normal plant and with
the surroundingings, and climate of the region, but that I have also been
very favorably impressed with the Institution . and with the student
body. " It speaks well not only for the Normal School, but for the state,
that so intelligent a group of students should be attracted to the summer
session here." B.S.N.S "AS YOU LIKE IT" TO BE Are you a good student?
How do you measure up to these tests, offered by Miss Cummins? " The
first characteristic of a good student," she says, "is an attitude of
inquiry — the desire to see all sides of a question. "Every .normal
student should have some concrete aim toward which to work. Especially in
the case of the upper grade teacher should there be some special line of
work around which elective courses and outside reading should center. "
The good student will so organize his work as to provide that assigned
tasks be completed promptly on the date set. " No one worthy of the name
of teacher or citizen will permit himself to remain ignorant of current
happenings. Pedagogical magazines, those pertaining to special subjects,
current event digests and the daily newspaper should be scanned regularly
and with purpose. " When entering the library the stur dent should be
prepared to use its tools (Continued on page 6.) Of all out-of-doors
presentations of Shakespeare, "As You Like I t " is perhaps most
charming. " Midsummer Night's Dream" rivals it in delicacy of fancy but
the former comedy is more redolent of woodland scents and more sparkling
with the vivacity and freshness of young romance. It is doubtful if the
genius of the great bard of Avon ever expressed itself in kindlier and
merrier fashion than in the Arcadian scenes of "As You Like It." Here
comes the banished Duke and his followers to find " sermons in stones,
books in the running brooks and good in everything." To this wildwood come
also Rosalind, Orlando and Celia to meet in merry quiet and rougish
misunderstanding, in high romance and tender sentiment as . this
delightful play of young hearts and light spirits proceeds. Here, too,
Touchstone gambols and gibes and finally meets his fate in the rural
Audrey, whom he would the gods had made poetical, but to whom he swears
fealty as a poor thing but his own. Here in the green woods the melancholy
James philosophizes and discovers that " all the world's a stage and all
the men and women merely j gt;layers." Fleeing from the bitter hatred of
the elder brother hither comes the youthful old Adam, who so sweetly
exemplifies the quality of fidelity and teaches us how to grow into a
lusty old age " frosty but kindly." " Sweet are the uses of adversity,"
declares the banished -Duke and " Blow, blow thou winter wind, thou art
not so unkind • as benefits forgot," sings Amiens. Thus does this
great old play give" to us anew the cleansing arid healthful breath of
nature and so, too, may we gain by its genial and wholesome gaiety. The
Community Players are to present the play on Wednesday, August 17th on
the northwesterly slope of the knoll, with the massed greenery of the
right and left portions of the stage and the charming center entrance down
the slope upon the greensward, the out-door location is ideal. The play,
is to be .correctly costumed in all details. There will - be two important
contributions by the Department of Physical Education. Under the
direction of Miss Moffat two groups of students will present a classical
interpretive dance and a typical old English Morris dance. Mr. Paul
Thompson and Miss Amanda Nesson will present the beautiful woodland songs
of the play. Altogether a careful, artistic and interesting performance
is promised for next week. " Who doth ambition shun and loves to live i'
the sun, come hither." B.S.N.S. Two hundred and ten students of B. S. N.
S. took teachers' examinations Thursday and Friday of last week. Many
left after the examinations. ' The absence of these people has been very
noticeable in the class rooms and assembly. B.S.N.S. • Mr. Hunt (in
history class) : " What about it, class, is that statement true? "
Everybody: "Yes, yes!" Mr. Hunt: " Look out, now." Class (in unison) : "
No, no! " WHAT WE LIKE BEST ABOUT THE H A L " What is the feature you
like best about this Normal School? " is the question often put to us, to
answer like a rule. If the quizzer is a citizen of this delightful city,
we start in with the climate, and repeat the oft-told ditty: We praise
the parks and flowers; the homes where we reside; we mention asphalt
boulevards, whereon our autos glide; we laud its ruddy sunsets, its woodsy
trails we cite, as being motives for return, which fill us with delight;
we wonder if, in all the world, another spot could be where mountains
high re-echo the booming of the sea. We say these are the reasons why
students by the score flock back to join the Normal ranks and learn a
little more; for we come in goodly numbers, from- every western state; in
case you're puzzled why you're here, some answers we'll relate. We grant
the town is beautiful, its homes are fair to see; those gorgeous, golden
sunsets are free to you and me; the sylvan trails are wonderful; the
silvered, moonlit bay brings dreams of future hopes and fears when we'll
be far away. But say, there are days of stress and gloom; it rains, and
clouds hang low; when al lthe world seems dull and gray, and scenery don't
go. Somehow we need a guiding hand, a smile of friendly cheer; even the
stern word of rebuke for our faults our doubts, our tears. Now, sweep the
cobwebs from your brain, and clear your thoughts for action, and you'll
find there is no mystery about the chief attractions. No red brick
building in this world extends such welcome dear; what campus holds the
many groups of friends to us so near; where could we go to learn as much
in one short summer Normal; could parties ever be such fun, or strangers
more informal ; have you ever stopped" to wonder if a more helpful trio
could be than the smiling, willing workers in our Normal library? Where
else would fifty instructors give up vacation joys to teach twelve
hundred students with all their faults and noise; where, oh, where could
all these things, taken collectively, be realized more fully, than in
— " The Normal by the Sea?" — Anon. B.S.N.S. WHERE SOME OF
US WILL TEACH NEXT YEAR Dr. Henry K. Warren, who for twenty- six years
has been president of Yankton College, the largest institution of higher
learning in South Dakota, was a. recent visitor of Dr. Nash. Dr. Nash
graduated from Yankton College and worked there with Dr. Warren for some
years. Dr. Warren addressed assembly Monday morning. His subject was
'• Our Puritan Ancestors." After reviewing the early history of
religious persecution against which the Puritans contended in the old
world, and their hazardous journey to the new, the speaker called
attention "to the fact that the Puritans organized the first democratic
government, the principles of which became the foundation principles of
our nation. Dr. Warren sounded a warning that we present-day Americans do
not lose in our civic life that indominable courage of the Puritan spirit
which stands for an insistance on the working- out of the highest ideals
of democracy. He deplored the fact that the sporting interests, in their
efforts to defeat the so-called blue laws, should resort to caricature of
those who gave us national ideals. In doing this they have but honored
the Puritans and shamed themselves, for only those who do great deeds are
ridiculed 300 years after their departure. "Prophets are always stoned."
An appeal to launch our Mayflower and steer boldly into untried seas if we
would be true Americans ended a most splendid address. B. S. N. S. TO

Ora Bell Poe It seems strange that any teacher should adopt such an
attitude as to inspire fear and terror, rather than confidence, in the
hearts of those under her instruction. And yet there are some who belong
to the old school that is afraid .of " spoiling. the child." All who go
to school are not equally .brilliant. Some find theiir work extremely
difficult, and while they put forth their best efforts, there are many
times when a little explanation of doubtful points would be of invaluable
assistance. • It seems unfair to assume that every •time a
question is asked, the one who asks it is doing so merely to take up the
.teacher's time,- and when the teacher gives a curt, sharp reply that cuts
like a lash, is it strange if many refrain from asking for needed help? A
large number prefer to receive a lower grade rather than to • take
the risk of receiving a reply that hurts for days afterward. Sarcasm is a
powerful tool.. It cuts like a two-edged sword, and serves to alienate,
where a kindly answer inspires to greater effort. When we go out to
teach, let us bear this in mind and avoid making a mistake for which we
may have to pay dearly. — B.S.N. S. How many of us get in a hurry
and cut across the campus or over the knoll? By watching students come in
the morning we would say that most of us do. How much time is saved?
Probably a fraction of a minute. Is it worth the cost? Does that fraction
of a minute saved aid us so greatly that we are justified in writing our
selfishness or thoughtlessness upon the beautiful green carpet? Surely
after such a pleasing compliment as Dr. Sears gave us in Monday morning's
assembly, we ought to be proud enough of our campus to keep it always
looking green and smooth and not spoiled by ugly brown paths cut hit and
miss wherever we happen to choose to walk. When we came we did not find
it cut by paths. The students who were here before us exercised enough
self-control to stay on the walks. I'll guarantee they were just as busy
as we are and they, went away with just as much knowledge and
pleasant-memories as we have. So let us show our school spirit hereafter,
and hold a person in disrepute who takes the short cuts. Let us make an
unwi'itten law that we shall not cut corners, and each one "a
self-appointed officer of that law, at least in so far as we ourselves
are" concerned. B. S. N. S. When the Seniors carry away their coveted
diplomas they will carry away, also, the memory of a fine example of that
patience "that suffereth long and is silent." How any human being can sit
throughout a long hot day facing an MAXINE SHOES FOR WOMEN WHITE HOUSE

"Jit's too much" for Normal Seniors, wise as they are. They have a sort
of vague theory that perhaps programming officers are made of different
clay. Be that as it may, they marvel much at the fortitude, patience and
personal interest that Mr. Beyer always displays and they gratefully
acknowledge their debt j gt;f gratitude. ""' " ~~ How Much Milk Did You

examination Saturday at the court house. • » • Misses
Druse, Landis and Plympton, teachers in the Art Department, and their
helpers, the Misses Pickard, Hess, Edens, Bougess and Mrs. Rice, had their
annual picnic dinner last night at Squalicum Beach, # # ' » The
latest news from Miss Boring is that on her way through South Dakota she
stopped just long enough in the hot city of Aberdeen to get a picture of
the Normal. * * * Dr. Miller entertained Dr. Nash and the members of
the'Educational Department at a dinner at the Cafeteria Tuesday evening.
Those present besides Dr. Nash and Dr. Miller were Dr. Sears, Miss
Keeler, Mr. Kibbe, Mr. Kolstad and Superintendents Wiedman and Goss. - B
. S . N . S . " I am going to talk shop," said Dr". Sears, who spoke in
assembly Wednesday morning. Then followed an interesting discussion on
Education, in which Dr. Sears stated that for many years he had been
trying to explain to an incredulous public y'ust what the study of
education is. *'" So long as the world thinks education is only a theory
or something that doesn't count, it is a fact which the teacher must
meet," he said. "Our only -answer to the public must be in terms of hard
facts." Other items of importance gleaned from the discussion were that
education may be thought of in terms of the institution or of the child.
In late education the child's interests have been studied and no
progressive teacher or superintendent will hold a child back in all
subjects, because he may be deficient in one. Since to schools has been
assigned the duty of producing the doers and thinkers of the world,
education must be put on a fact basis. The teacher of today cannot depend
on theory, but must know how to teach. B.S.N.S. • DEBTS How often
have we pointed the finger of scorn at the shirker who excuses his
evasion of responsibilities by saying, " Oh, well! the world owes me a
living." He has a job, perhaps, but he does as little work as it is
possible to do without being dismissed. : When there is a call for
volunteers to do extra work, he is ostentatiously silent. His attitude is
that the boss has managed poorly or there would be no extra work. He is
usually a fault finder, an excuse maker, :a self-indulger. He lets someone
else ]bear the burdens — and reap the honors ;—while he
merely "gets by." The D o e s the printed p a g e blur before you? Does

living; but what does he owe the world? We neither admire nor respect
this drone when we meet him in the business world, yet we fail to condemn
his counterpart in the school world. He is the student who disclaims all
responsibility for the upbuilding of his school. "The state owes me an
education," he says. "After me, the deluge," is his slogan. Hs skims his
assignment hastily, and his frequent answer is " Unprepared." His sole
desire is to pass. He never follows up the teacher's suggestions or
recommendations forself improvement. The only phrase that wins his entire
attention is " Required for graduation." He never offers his services for
the hard work in the outside activities. He gives the assemblies a
passive support at best, and is the first to create a disturbance if the
program is not to his liking. Other students shoulder the responsibilities
and are benefited by so doing. He merely graduates. The state owes him
an education; but what does he owe the state? B. S. N. S. I WAS standing

Trueblood, head of the department of public speaking of the University of
Michigan and engaged in the work of that department since' 1886, gave a
splendid lecture on the "Art of Public Speaking" in assembly Friday. He
laid great emphasis on the directness of speaking and stated that it was
the most vital point in all the methods of public speaking. He provided
this to all those that heard his interesting lee-, ture, as his own
manner and tone were oft he easy conversational type. Among the great
orators of the present day that use this method are William J. Bryan and
Bishop Hughes, the latter was a former pupil of Dr. True-blood's. He
emphasized the importance of work on debate by showing that prom- White

training in the college debate, citing LaFollette and Senator Beveridge as
examples. William Jennings Bryan and Jane Addams debated against each
other in college, and Jane Addams was the winner. In closing his address
Dr. Trueblood made a plea to all teachers to aid in trying to establish
correct speaking English over all the world. Dr. Trueblood read "Ingomar,
the Barbarian," by the Austrian author Holbe Thursday evening. In his
reading "Ingomar the Barbarian" Dr. Trueblood brought out the romance of
the drama very clearly and markedly. From the beginning intense interest
was sustained. The most noticeable feature of Dr. Trueblood's delivery is
his simplicity and sincerity. B.S.N.S. Not wealth, but the ability to
meet difficult conditions, is the measure of man. Every unselfish act is
turning the searchlight into some dark corner. When a wind storm sweeps
the forest it is the weazened trees, those with rotten hearts, that fall
first. " Why do you like swimming so well? " " Because it's a clean
sport." "192V CLASS PINS MULLER ASPLUND JEWELERS Next to First

types of students among us, the plodding workers and the brilliant
shirkers. They will also agree that they easily recognize these types
upon the first day of the term, so if you are cramming for your expected
examination be assured your teacher has already decided upon the marks
you deserve and will govern himself accordingly, no matter how you may "
p a d " to deceive him. The student who has for his incentive a mark of A
— instead of a real knowledge of the subject he is pursuing, is a
fraud and a failure so far as scholarship goes. The fear of the
examination may keep a student who is otherwise mentally asleep, somewhat
alert for " points " to be remembered; he slides along for the first ten
weeks, keeping up attendance at classes' but receiving nothing from his.
text, his classmates or his teacher. Finally the last two weeks stares
him in the fact with failure or condition evident. Then he frantically
and feverishly burns the candle at both ends, trying to catch up in a'
subject in which he never started. He crams, and passes — " passes
" is the proper word, for it indicates that the student has at least one
faculty, almost abnormal, however, the ability to dodge successfully the
real purpose of all study; the development of his mental processes by
systematic concentration. We will agree with our excellent instructors
when they say that it does require a peculiar sort of " genius " to
accomplish this cramming process. It has been proven time and again that
this " loading up for examination" is harmless, so cram on. Your mental
calibre will not be visably affected, for the efforts you put forth at the
end leave no trace upon the brain. Aside from loss of sleep, physical
exhaustion and that coveted grade your head will be as empty as ever.
B.S.N.S. THE PROJECT PLAN THINGS GOOD TO EAT — at — NORMAL
BAKERY AND DELICATESSEN 623 HIGH STREET The project plan is one that
has been worked out and used successfully in this summer's term of the
training school. One phase of this plan is being used in the teaching of
arithmetic in the intermediate grades. One day of the week is a project
lesson, and the class is taken to a basement room which is arranged like
a store. The shelves have been made by the children from boxes, and on
these are arranged goods in cans and packages. One child is the
storekeeper, and all of the others are customers. Each has a certain
amount of play money given to him, and with this he must purchase
something at the store. Each child works out every problem. If the change
counted out by the storekeeper is not correct he loses his position. At
the end of the game the problems are corrected. This has been found a
valuable plan in stimulating interest in the work. COMING TUESDAY, AUGUST
