WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1921. NO 10 THE LEWIS COUNTY INSTITUTE OF
LAST A FORMER STUDENTS MEET On Wednesday noon, November 23, at the time
of the Lewis County Institute in Centra] ia, a large group of former
Bellingham students gathered in the Chamber of Commerce hall to pay
respect and send greeting to their Alma Mater. The time was spent
listening to talks from the Normal delightfully told by Mr. Bever,
followed by Mr. Hoppe, who masterfully entertained the group with
humorous readings. The noon hour was gone all too soon and only was there
time for a few reminiscences of Normal days by Miss Z. May Meighen, our
very capable cbunty superintendent, and an expression of appreciation to
Waldemar Jaeger, under whose direction the luncheon was planned, and Mr.
Herbert Heath, who acted as toast master. Following is a list of names of

of University Women, Friday evening, December 2, at 8 o'clock. This
sparkling comedy has been considered one of the best English plays since
its production, March 3, 1773. The' humorous situations, the phraseology
and the quaint costumes are factors which make it an immortal fun-maker.
The cast represents the highest dramatic ability in Bellingham. Mr. Hoppe
and Mr. Rahskopf of the Expression department, have important roles. Y
COURSE WILL BE OF GREAT BENEFIT TO SCHOOL Today, the dangerous time of
after-war reconstruction, is the time when people should be drawn
together into a common unit of thought and action. As a stimulus to
social instinct and cooperation, the Bellingham State Normal School is
offering a Community Lyceum Course to small school communities. The
course is formed to promote the following aims: To aid the school in the
important work of humanizing and vitalizing its relations with the
community; to make instruction, inspiration and entertainment available
at a minimum cost DEALS OF NORMAL SET F FAITH IN SCHOOL JOURNAL REVIEWS
WORK (Continued on Page Two) (Continued on Page Five) The following
contribution regarding our President and his ideals for Normal appears in
the present issue of the Washington Educational Journal. "The subject of
this sketch was born in Wisconsin and launched upon his career in South
Dakota. Upon graduation from Yankton College, he was admitted to the
ancient and honorable order of the ferule and immediately started to
initiate young men and women into the mysteries of Pytagoras, Eulid, and
Ptolemy. While teaching Mathematics and Astronomy at Au-gustana and
Yankton Colleges, he gave indication of professional ambition by
undertaking graduate work at Leipsic and at the University of Minnesota.
He received the Master's degree from Yankton College in 1905 and was
awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws in 1911. In South Dakota he
served two terms as State Superintendent of Public Instruction, one term
as President of the State Teachers' Association, and nine years as
President of the State Normal School at Aberdeen. "In 1914, Doctor Nash
was called to the Presidency of the Bellingham State Normal School. The
Norcnal-'by-the- Sea responded quickly to the vigor of his
administration. Preceding highest records of attendance, both in the
regular year and in the summer session have been doubled. The faculty has
been increased from thirty-six to _ fifty-six. Buildings have been
rehabilitated, campus greatly enlarged, a new heating plant and a new
dormitory erected. President Nash has actively identified himself wth
every form of public service— religious, educational, civic,
patriotic. So markedly has he demonstrated his qualities of leadership
that there is a general feeling in the community and in the state that if
he undertakes any important task it will be carried through to a
successful issue. "When interviewed regarding his aims and ideals for the
Bellingham State Normal Shool, Doctor Nash expressed himself in the
following terms: 'I want this school to be second to none of its kind in
the country. I have always upheld the position that the Normal Schools of
the state must be regarded as institutions of collegiate rank and that
they must maintain collegiate standards of work. The Bellingham Normal _
is not copying any other institution; the plan of its work is unique. I
do not want it tied to any traditions of the past that may hamper growth
,and development. Any innova-itons are welcomed that give evidence of a
progressive spirit held in leash by a judicious, but not fettering,
conservatism. The strength of a school is to be found in its faculty. I
hope to have in charge of the various departments at all times
specialists who will rank with the best in the country. It is my policy
to commit to competent and representative members of the faculty the
responsibility for developing the strongest possible program of teacher
training.'"

anglers! Normal boasts a dozen such. "Ho! Ho!" chuckles Mr. Bever, when
asked to spin a fish tale. "You see, Mr. Bond about that." "I used to be
exceedingly fond of fishing," confided Mr. Kibbe, "but somehow I never
got exactly acquainted with the fish out here. Mr. Bond's your man."
"Yes," mused Mr. Bond, "the way to get really acquainted with a person is
to go away out from civilization somewhere and' spend the day fishing with
him. If there's anything wrong with him it'll -come out pretty strong
before the day is over. "I've been fishing one time or another with
every man on this.faculty and;every one of 'em measures one hundred per
cent on my pet test. "The biggest fish I ever caught I met upon the North
Fork. I got a noble bite and pulled with all my might. Next thing I knew
I came to the surface with the fish's tail in one hand and the limb of a
tree in the other. Rindall helped me out. That fish weighed thirty-two
pounds. "One time Eindall and I decided to see who was champion
fisherman. We fished four straight hours, and at the end of that time one
of us had 16S fish and the other had 172. We agreed never to tell who had
those extra four fish. "I nearly caught a fish to beat Bond's," said Mr.
Rindall. "I felt an awful tug at my line. I got a glimpse of him. He was
four feet long. I played him for a while and then began to pull. Just as
I was about to land him I awoke to find that Bond had all the covers. My
fish was a blanket." Miss Gragg is the only woman of the faculty who
confesses to any fishing experiences. "When I came West I was on tiptoe
to t ry your wonderful fishing, of which I have heard so much. A neighbor
furnished me with a jointed pole, a reel, a basket and high boots. We set
out. The biggest stream we could find was five feet wide. We caught fish
three inches long. I bore it proudly home and put it on the table—
the cat got it." Mr. Kolstad politely refused to be communicative, so we
resorted to blackmail. They tell this one on him: He was fishing one day
on the Nooksack and had caught only a cold. He fell in with a stranger, a
traveling salesman. The stranger mistook Mr. Kolstad for one of his own
guild, as others have done before, and asked what his line was. The
psychologist modestly disclaimed the tribute and asked "What's yours?"
Now the salesman had been catching fish after fish, while A. K.'s basket
remained empty. Quoth the salesman, "My line is rubber sporting goods,
which explains my superior luck in fishing. I have on a pair of our boots
now." "Do you mean to say—" "Sure thing! See for yourself." Mr.
'Kolstad put on the boots and immediately his luck changed. The fish
threatened to eat up his hook and line, and soon his basket was full. In
the excitement he rashly waded into the river. He was immediately
surrounded by swarms of fish, which threatened to tear off the boots. He
was dragged back to safety by the salesman, who said: "Prettv good line!
Even the fish think so!" Now, I ask you! B. S. N. S. The boys who call

WRITES FROM PARIS Miss Helen Beardsley has received a very interesting
letter, dated "Paris, October 27, 1921," from Mrs. Josephine Converse, a
graduate of our school, who was formerly an instructor in foreign
languages at Whatcom High School. Mrs. Converse is now a student at the
Sorbonne. She has received honorable mention there. She expects to teach
French in a university upon her return to America. Mrs. Converse loves
Paris, but has to work hard. "Students," she says, "go and go," but they
do not receive credits unless they ask permission to take examinations."
"French students refuse to be bored by a professor who kills time," she
relates. "They shout—'asses, asses! C'est fini!' I have sometimes
thought I should like to do that in the United States." The students
incude Chinese, Japanese, Swedes, Danes, many Kussians, and some
Americans. Living is high in Paris, but everyone seems to be employed,
and there is little unrest, as in this country. B. S. N. S. SHE WORRIED
ABOUT IT. (By Anne Bra-nnick) Her eyebrows were awry, her hair out of
curl, . And she worried about it. She'd been snubbed in the hall by that
horrid Jones girl, And she worried about it. She hadn't a "date" for
Saturday night. 'Cause she and Alonzo had just had a fight. And, good
gracious me, was her dress quite all right? And she worried about it.
Her plans bore this legend "Re-write" or "see me," She didn't worry about
it. With red ink her essays were decked beautifully, She didn't worry
about it. When asked to recite, she was usually mium. You'd think that
this fact would have bothered her some. But she was quite happy and
simply chewed gum. . She didn't worry ahout it. B. S. N. S. The Eterna

C. Baughman, Mgr. DR. MILLER WRITES AN ARTICLE FOR JOURNAL In the
November issue of the Washington Educational Journal appears an article
on "Vocational Guidance as a Function of the School" by Dr. Miller. In
this article Dr. Miller states, "that modern education demands that the
interests, activities', and subject matter of the school be identical and
continuous with life; and that to fit one's self for the vocation for
which he is best adapted is the only possible way to participate freely
and efficiently in the work of the world. This necessity for time in the
development of intelligent choice implies an educative process which
should make vocational guidance an integral part of the work of the
school." Dr. Miller shows plainly the need for a system for guidance
along these lines and also makes various suggestions as to how this might
be done. Read the article for it is on one of the live topics in

of its basketball teams. Many a triumph has been gained for our school in
contests with the other Normals of state as well as with many strong
district teams. This year is to prove no exception to the rule. Some
excellent material is in school. Many men who have already proved their
worth on other basketball floors, and some veterans of former Normal team
are here. Coach Carver has arranged a stiff schedule, and is hopeful that
his boys will finish the season with a clean slate. Many games besides
those already ar ranged will doubtless be played. The regular games with
the city school teams will probably take place. The schedule to date is
as follows: Jan. 11—Vancouver ex-Normal (tentative). Here. Jan.

covers find among new books a fascinating something that is an intricate
part of the undimmed ink, the fresh binding, the make up and content;
they peep under a particularly promising looking cover or skim a page here
and there with all the delights of exploration. So much interest has been
shown in the New Book shelf introduced recently into the Library that we
should like .to mention briefly a few of the very latest books that have
appeared on the shelf. James, William. Letters 'of William James, edited
by Henry James. To students who have been daily asking for th ereserved
books, James' "Psychology," and James' "Talk to Teachers," this book will
afford a great human experience and delight. "The whole man with his wide
interest in philosophy, medicine, and writing, as well as the pleasant
friendliness of home and college life are admirably disclosed in his
letters, even in his pencil sketches." A. L. A. His "Varieties of
Religious Experience" is a book especially interesting because of its
broad outlook. Santayana, George. Character and Opinion in U. S. "A
keen, kindly analysis of American life, particularly of the more subtle
mental attitudes. Seems to centralize around a conception of the American
character as vigorous, hopeful, good, somewhat childish; hampered
intellectually by con-vetional prohibitions and compulsions; and devoted
to a liberty based on cooperation and the spirit of live and let live."
A. L. A. A new line of thought comes with the reading of this book, for
not once in a year does a book teem with such a glowing vocabulary,
crystal-like phrases, humor, and truth. The author was a professor at
Harvard University and, though born in Spain, is one of Ameria's great
philosophers. Read also his "Life of Reason," "Sense of Beauty," and
"Winds of Doctrine." — B . S. N. S. Uncle John—A cat has nine

graduates miss the setting of a regulation graduation day—the
sunshine, the roses, the frills and all that. But our cloud has a silver
lining. Think of it! To us has been granted two Thanksgiving days in the
same year, the same A GRADUATION month, almost in the same week. Verily,
POEM our hearts overflow with the measure of our blessings. The goal of
our present ambition has been attained. Labor has its reward; the coveted
diploma is within our grasp and, oh, joy! a possible pay check looms
large in the desert waste of'our financial affairs. Thankful? Yea, beyond
measure! But not grateful alone for material blessings! More priceless by
far are the pleasant memories that we shall take with us—the memory
of inspiring, faithful instructors, the memory of helpful, loyal friends
and acquaintances and the memory of a delightful environment. ~We are
thankful for the knowledge that has come to enrich our minds and
s.rengthen our bodies. We are thankful for the fields of service that
await us; may we ever play a woivhy part therein! Finally^ we are grateful
to our fellow-citizens throughout the state and nation, who, for the sake
of an ideal, have given of their means that we might enjoy the advantages
that have been ours through our school lives.—One of them. B. S. N.
S. SOME THOUGHTS ON SCHOOL SPIRIT. (XN EVERY HAND we hear much about
school spirit. To excel in its display is the ambition of every class. The
regular students complain that the summier students do not show a proper
spirit, and these elder folk retort that the ''regulars" have not yet
learned the meaning of the word. What is the elusive, intangible thing,
that having it, we may believe we have it not, and, while boasting its
possession, we yet may have it not? Eureka! In that maze of idle words. I
have it. School spirit is a composite—the result of many reactions.
The outer portions uncertain and nebular, consist of much vociferous
''rootings," of many sprawling class numerals in unseemly places, of many
"hi-yu" good times and illy-prepared lessons, of much whispering under the
assembly gallery and idling in the halls, of many anxious interviews with
those in authority. But now, slowly, the composite takes form, registering
faithfully prepared lessons, increasing earnestness and loyalty to duty.
There is shown increased devotion to student activities and a better
appreciation of faculty efforts. Until at the center, is found the heart,
beating steadily and rythmieally through the years in love and veneration
for Alma Mater.—A December Graduate. B. S. N. S. A LL THTNG-S come
to ends—even such good things as quarters, terms, and Messenger s
affs. It was with regret we realized that this issue was to.be our last,
and we hurried around a little faster than usual and tried to fill up the
pages with good news. We hope you read it every bit and like it, and if
you do, tell us about it. As we think back over the quarter, somewhat in
retrospect, we know there are many articles that should have been better,
jokes that could have been funnier, news that could have been fresher. We
like to think of the new columns we have started, the one absolutely new
joke we wrote, the poem we made up; and then the things that we have left
for the next staff to finish: tulips, good English, lectures. To the next
staff we wish much success with their work, and thereto we bequeath them
all our frayed pads and pencil stubs, the small hours in which to. work,
the fears and joys and all the fun that goes with writing. AIL TF KI. TT
M IK FROM THE PHYSICAL TRAINING DEPARTMENT The ideal of physical training
in our educational work should be to promote the health of school
children; and this implies that special care be taken to overcome that
tendency toward nervous unrest that the strain of American life, as well
in business and social circles, as in the schools, tends to create. It
may not seem that the few minutes which are or should be given each day
to physical training in the public school, will affect materially for
better or worse the character and bearing of the children who are
subjected to it, but when it is remembered that these exercises are to go
on day after day from the time the child enters school, its influence
will be more readily recognized, and its hygienic importance more fully
appreciated. (To be Continued) REDUCTION OF ARMAMENT TO BE DISCUSSED
WEEKLY This Corner Will Be Devoted to the Cause Until the Allied
Conference Closes. Princeton University has an active club for the
Reduction of Armament. President Harding expressed his approval of the
organization as follows: "It is most gratifying to know that the college
thought of the Republic is being exercised helpfully to commit the
sentiment of our country and the world to real achievement. A great
service to this generation may prove vastly greater to the generations
yet to come." The New York Times has given an entire edition over to a
discussion of Reduction of Armament. The Literary Digest of November 12th
devotes the entire number to the cause, as does the New Republic,
November 16th. with an additional supplement. The Tacoma Ledger also
gives an entire issue to the movement. Harry Lauder says war is all wrong.
"Great things are coming. Great things will be done. Great things must
be done. And there is a way in sight at the conference at Washington. It
lies for the English speaking people of the world to make war impossible,
not for a generation or two, but for everlasting time. Forty colleges
responded to Princeton's call for a conference of colleges for reduction
of armaments. President Harding commended them for their activity and
interest, stating that the questions of today would be settled by the
younger generation I wonder if the difference between the college student
and the normal student may not be ilustrated by this very interest shown
in a question of international importance. It seems as though the Normal
students were not interested and utterly uninformed on this very
important issue. Seligman of Columbia says, "Whether the delegates to the
armament conference realize it or not, the future of European
civilization is at stake." Meanwhile Americans should demand to know why
3 cents of every dollar of their government's money in 1920 was spent in
paying for past wars and preparing for future wars.- B. S. N. S. LAURA
A. JOHNSON DIES: WAS POPULAR STUDENT Laura Anna Johnson, a student at
Normal, died early Sunday morning, November 20th She was in the hospital
apparently recovering from an operation, wnen she suddenly suffered a
relapse which proved fatal. Miss Johnson's home was at Kent, Washington,
where her' father has a large farm She came to Normal last year. Durig
the "flu" epidemic she assisted Miss Mead most efficiently in caring for
the girls at the dormitory. Miss Mead says she has never known of a more
reliable girl in time of need and distress. Edens Hall girls sent a
beautiful floral tribute to the funeral and a letter of sympathy was
forwarded to her father from the Student's Association. B. S. N. S.

BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY,
DECEMBER 2, 1921. E OF A SI I Some there may be who think teaching a
lifeless and prosaic process. After one has interviewed a number of Normal
students he wonders if life in the movies, aeroplane flights, or the old
adventures of cowboys on the plains offer any more thrilling experiences
than some of these demure pedagogues have encountered, who so meekly
answer "Present" when the roll is called at Normal classes! One slim,
curly-haired maiden, who really appeared too fragile to tackle an eighth
grade job in our Training school, confessed that last year she had the
opportunity of dealing with human nature in the raw. She was called to
teach in a four-room school, close to the boundary line where loggers, a
few ranchers, smugglers of Chinese laborers and "booze runners" thrived.
Boys composed most of the attendance, overgrown and undisciplined. School
to them was a secondary consideration as they made men's wages when the
logging camps were running. Their object in attendance was the old one,
to run the school and the teacher. After many exciting adventures in which
the old-fashioned rubber hose was. resorted to, and the teacher's desk
one evening contained two quarts of whiskey, taken from one of the ring
leaders of the boys; after much discouragement, ex-haustless patience and
tact, order was brought out of chaos. Students admitted— even the
wildest of them—that they liked to come to school. Evenings were
spent coasting, hiking and fishing, with the object of keeping the boys
out of mischief. Looking back on the year now, our fragile little Normal
student thinks the experience she gained there invaluable and really
admits that after the first misunderstandings were over, she grew to love
and appreciate the warm, human nature she encountered. Another teacher, a
young man, had a rather difficult time because most of the people in his
district were Slavonians and lived in a community by themselves. Many of
the pupils were older girls; more shy young ladies were never seen. When
the teacher tried to be friendly and called at their homes to interest
them in community work and play, the girls all ran and. hid. Nor
ANNOUNCEMENT Commencing Thursday, December first, we will serve a
splendid Table d'hote Dinner at $1.00 per person, from 5:00 to 8:15 p.
m. every evening Sam Rathman's music Your social obligations may be
taken care of by a Dinner at the Leopold Special attention to parties,
large or small, on short notice was he able to make himself understood
by the parents. One day he herded most of the pupils 6 miles to another
school for a spelling match. When they arrived, they collected in a side
room and refused under any consideration to come out. Another day he
brought them to an adjoining school for an examination. They looked at
the other children, looked at the questions and marched home. By
persistent and patient effort he managed by the time school was out to
get within speaking distance of them outside of school hours. In some
cases it is well to be something of a boxer. A young teacher called a
large boy, who had been misbehaving, to her desk. As soon as she rose he
struck at her. As she had had a great deal of trouble with him and her
predecessor had been forced to leave in the middle of the term, she did
not hesitate, but launched an uppercut straight at him and he fell to the
floor. He was not hurt but was forever after a good boy. Sometimes it
pays to use cave-man tactics. The places which should have the most
unselfish and best teachers are the one and two-room schools, because then
the school house and the teacher must become the center of any community
life that there is. One such teacher had a school in the coal fields. She
organized a P. T. A. which became very active, a dancing club for the
community, had a co-operative community hall built and conducted a Sunday
School. It is such teachers who demand, or rather deserve the highest
praise. Many students have only delightful experiences. One girl taught
east of the mountains in the apple country. Most of the people were
moderately well off. Her life was a series of rides, dinners and
entertainments, which the community provided. She was paid $150 a month
and had but twelve primary children to teach. —Verna McGinnis. 13.

From Page One) to communities; to present numbers of such nature that
there shall be something of interest for every member of the school
community. The members of this Lyceum Course are: Victor H. Hoppe, of the
Expression department; W. C. Weir and E. J. Klemme, of .the Extension
department, and Major A. F. Palmer, of the French army. These four men
offer a course of quality at a small fee, making the numbers available
for any school district. The numbers may be given singly or as a. whole
course. The courses are planned to be given at intervals of about one
month, thus spreading the course over three or four months. B. S. N. S.

COMING FOUR DAYS STARTING WEDNESDAY OF AMUSING INCIDENTS IN NORMAL
STUDENT LIFE (Anne Brannick) What would you do if you had paid tuition,
your landlady had gratefully clasped her rent, your necessary books were
purchased, and you • then found that your purse contained just
enough money so that your life had to be preserved on ten cents a day
until money could be received from home? For a week doubt and fear would
hold you almost continually in their grip. How you would hope for and
expect letters with every delivery of mail! You would be almost sure that
the letter was in the city, the postal service poor and the postman
negligent. Is there anyone who cares whether you have food or not? In a
few months after, the mountains and valleys of hope and fear, phantom and
fact, would assume their right proportions, and the humor and
ridiculousness of the situation would afford as much amusement as your
previous anxiety caused distress. Then as you, amid bursts of
appreciative laughter, humorously related your experience of living for
one week on one bowl of soup per day and then add, "You know those bowls
of oyster crackers ?" More peals of laughter. Your friends immediately
visualize the steady minus a cracker, minus another cracker, minus still
another cracker, until only the bowl is left. Then they know why you do
not eat crackers and soup now. B. S. N. S. Mr. Bever—"Before I

BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1.921
£L4JB flflTt^ PHILOS CELEBRATE BIRTHDAY Perhaps the most delightful
of the Philo parties was that of the twelfth annual birthday party of the
club, which was held at the home of its sponsors, Mr. and Mrs. H. C.
Phillipi, 916 High Street, last Saturday evening. Sixty members were
present, including active members and those out of school. A splendid
program was rendered, consisting of a flute solo by Carol Haeske, piano
solo, Mabel Miller; a discussion, "The Finished Product," Blanche Cummins;
"Philos in the Making," by Mary Wood. A large birthday cake holding
twelve lighted candles was brought in. Mi-. Phillipi succeeded in blowing
out the candles. The president, Lucien Loring, cut the frst piece and
Cleo Baughman, a member of the club since 1914, cut the second. Herbert
Hansen '•'clamped his teeth down on the ring," and it wasn't long
until Catherine Shepherd was seen wearing it. Bernice Day discovered the
thimble which means spinsterhood, and you should have heard Roswell Oliver
groan! Milly Young grinned, but didn't say a word, when Arthur Boucher
found the darning needle, the insignia of bachelorhood, in his piece.
Wealth is forecast for at least one of the Philo members, for Esther
Reddick found a dime in her cake. Lucien Loring received high score at a
well known Philo game, while Marion Collier won the "booby" prize. The
party certainly was one of the most enjoyable events in the history of
the club. ALETHIANS. The Alethian Club held its regular business meeting
Tuesday. Much important business was discussed. Thursday evening a fine
program, illustrative of the country of Sweden-was given. The program was
as follows: Roll call—Response with current events. Folk Lore and
Customs—Martha Anderson. Folk Songs—Almeda Bowmen. Geography
and Government—Ruth Church. Folk Dances—Dorothy Bell, Pearl
Stoughton. Important Swedish Characters—Elnora Antrim. The program
was followed by a discussion on club activities and it was decided to
pledge fifty dollars for the club house on the Lake Whatcom tract. ETHEL

The girls who did not go home for Thanksgiving were entertained by the Y.
W. C. A. with a "Book Party," at Edens Hall, Friday evening. Each girl
was dressed to represent some well-known book. The evening was filled
with games, readings, and music. Refreshments were served in the
dining-room, which was decorated in green and yellow. All were grateful
to the Y. W. C. A. for its generous hospitality. At one of the meetings
of the month, Faye Bruneau gave a talk about the work she is soon to take
up in South America. She first discussed the customs, climate and
characteristics of that country, then she spoke on her special teaching
work to be done there. It was a most enjoyable talk and gave a clearer
insight into the missionary work in South America. Rev. Taus gave a
pleasing talk at the last meeting on the spiritual side of life, which
proved an inspiration to all. The Y. W. C." A. held a week of fellowship
throughout the country during the clays November 13th to 18th. The week
was observed by the Normal Y. W. C. A. by holding prayer services at the
noon hour each day. RURAL LIFE CLUB. The Rural Lifers held a short
business* meeting November 17. A committee, consisting of Misses
Dunnigan, Trosl and Reihman, was appointed to act to nominate officers
for next quarter. The business meeting was followed by initiation of new
members. Those in charge of the initiation ceremonies were Miss Keeler,
Mr. Coughlin, Miss Benson, Miss Abrams, Miss Rosenburg and Mr. Hatley.
They proved to be good doctors, barbers and physical education
instructors, if one may judge from the way they handled their victims. The
victims were: Mrs. Johnson, Miss Rans-weiler, Miss Froost, Miss Jacobson,
Miss Provost, Mrs. Zuffel, Miss Nims, Mr. Duke, Mr. Burke, Miss Elliot,
Mrs. Bowman, Mrs. Gorril and Miss Sunquist. They all recovered and were
able to return to school the next day. An interesting account of an
institute in Eastern Washington was given by Mr. Coughlin. He emphasized
the interest and enthusiasm shown by teachers attending the institute of
whom more than forty were formerly students of this Normal. Mr. Hatley
exhibited his talent as a community song leader by directing the "sing."
OHIYESAS. The Ghiyesas met Tuesday morning, November 15, for a short
business meeting. Miss Bell was elected as honorary member of the club.
The next meeting will be held Tuesday, Nov. 30, when the officers for the
next quarter will be chosen. THESPIANS. The next regular meeting of the
Thespians will be held next Thursday evening in the club rooms. An
unusually fine program has oeen p:anned for tin-; evening. It Beat Him.

returned from a committee meeting of the Washington Educational
Association, which was held in Seattle November 25th and 26th. "Both
sessions were very long," reports Mr. Klemme, "lasting from 9 o'clock in
the morning until 10 or 12 o'clock at night. The first day of the session
was taken up by the executive committee in attending to the business of
the Association. O. C. Whitney, auditor of the Association, presented his
resignation, because he is leaving the state, and Principal V. K. Froula,
of the Broadway high school, of Seattle, was appointed to fill the place.
The committee decided on Spokane, Washington, as the headquarters for the
W. E. A. convention for next year. The dates selected for the next
convention are next September 27, 28 and 29th. A large portion of the
time was taken up by initiating the "30-10," for education. This measure
has been started by the P. T. A.'s of the state and the business of the
executive committee was to attend to the legal side of it. The second day
was used for a general meeting. Thirty educators from all over the state
were present to meet with the executive committee for advice and for the
purpose of planning the program of the initiation of the "30-10."
Altogether, the meeting was very interesting and much worth while." Mr.
Rice and family were delightfully entertained at Thanksgiving Dinner at
the home of Dr. I. E. Miller and wife, last week. Mr. iKibbe and wife
entertained several Normal students at dinner on Thanksgiving Day.

Perhaps you have noticed the 'perplexed yet joyful countenances of the

written? Perchance, behind those busy faces, there lurks a feeling of
