The Weekly Messenger VOL. XXII Devoted to the
Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School BELLINGHAM,
WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1923 ~ NO. 16 MAY TRY As was stated in
last, week's Messenger, a new club has been organized in the school,
known as the Bellingham Normal Drama Club. This club will combine study
and interpretation of the drama. No regular meetings will be held by the
club as a whole; but from a membership of fifty, casts will be selected
for the study and presentation of some drama every quarter. In doing this
the club is taking over the forma] class plays, as it has been authorized
to do by the faculty organizations committee. No drama will be given this
quarter, but the time remaining will be used in organization. Tryouts
occur next week, Thursday and Friday, from 3 to 4:30 in room 308. The
membership of this club is open to all, regai-dless of club or class
affiliations. Each person appearing will be allowed three minutes in
which to present some humorous or serious dramatic poem, sketch, story,
dialogue, or scene from a drama which will give the committee a hint of
his abilities. No manuscripts will be allowed, and no singing or
pantomines will be substituted for the reading of lines. Several people
may, if they desire, work toge- (Continued on Page Six) ST Mrs. Frank J.
Shuler, of the National American Woman Suffrage association, has written
Miss Woodard, the Dean of Women, to the effect that the association is
planning to give Volumes 5 and 6 of the History of Woman Suffrage,
handsomely bound in leather, to the woman student who writes the best
essay on the subject, "How can woman best effect good citizenship." Miss
Woodard hopes that a large number of the young women of the school will
enter the contest. It costs nothing but the effort and time. The books
are valuable since they cover the period from 1900 to 1920, just the time
when the women of the Northwest were putting up the strongest fight for
suffrage. Mrs. Ida Husted Harper spent three years in the preparation of
these two volumes. Unlike some contests, .the very work involved is very
much worth while. Not only are benefits derived from the practice in
formal expression, but the reading and investigation required open up
rivers of interest and value. Miss Woodard states that a committee of
faculty women will act as judges and formulate the rules of the contest.
It is thought best to launch the work immediately in order that the
contest may close before the heavy rush at the end of the quarter. All
young women wlio are interested are asked to see Miss "Woodard at once.
MAY PETERSON, Who Will Sing at the Normal Wednesday Evening, January 24.
IS YELL LEADER Angus Bowmer is our new yell leader. He was appointed by
the Board of Control. Monday, and was authorized to choose his assistant.
Mr. Bowmer was elected to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of
Dubois Rhine. As acting yell leader, Mr. Bowmer exercised his ability at
the games last Friday and Saturday. After witnessing his antics there,
everyone felt confident that he will successfully conduct the yelling end
of the games during our basketball season. B. S. N. S. NOTICE, STUDENTS!
At 10 o'clock, all typewriters are occupied by members of the class in
typewriting. Plan your outside typing for some other hour. You are
welcome at any time but 10 o'clock. E To Bellingham: We wish to thank
the Bellingham students and express our appreciation for the
entertainment provided us during our stay. The friendliness and
hospitality of the Bellinghamites made this visit the most pleasant trip
we have had. Even your team gave us the warmest sort of a reception. We
wish to thank all of those who contributed to our excellent time and we
promise to do everything we can to give your team the same sort of a
welcome when they come to Ellensburg. B. S. N. S. All indications seem
to prove that the Seattle club dance will be the greatest social affair
of the quarter. Contrary to the usual manner the girls are arranging the
programs for the dance. Schirrman's orchestra will furnish the music. TO
L May Peterson, noted lyric soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Company,
is singing here the evening of Wednesday, January 24. Miss Peterson, who
is making her second trip to the coast, is well 'known here. Miss
Peterson is die of nine children, daughter of a Methodist circuit rider
who died when she was but a child. She worked her way thru high school and
entered the Oshkosh normal which Miss Roberts was at that time attending.
Miss Roberts remembers her as a charming, but unassuming girl with a
very pleasing personality. Her first appearance was at Oshkosh. This was
to raise funds for her training in Europe. When she had $300 more than
passage money she sailed for Florence. There she studied under Mmc.
Barroechia while at the same time earning a difficult living. She then
went to Berlin where she studied under Fer-gussen. She came to America
but was told to try opera, and returned to Europe to work under Jean de
Reszeka. Miss Peterson made her debut at the Massenett festival at Vichy,
singing the title role of "Alanon." This was one of the most nerve
racking events of her life as" the cast of this opera is always supposed
to be experienced and so no rehearsal was held. Altho she was a novice,
her success was complete. In 1914 the war disrupted the "Opera"
(Continued on Page Six) BELLINGHAM NORMAL TO PLAY CHENEY The Blue and
White, having tasted victory at the expense of Ellensburg, are working
hard to get in condition to meet the hoopsters from the Cheney Normal,
Saturday night. The Cheney delegation is reported to be much stronger
than that of Ellensburg. having held the team from the University of
Idaho to a score of 18 to 20. Coach Carver feels that the game will be a
hard fought battle, and plans on showing them some real basketball. The
game will be played in the Whatcom gymnasium, Saturday evening. Starting
at 7:30 sharp. A preliminary game will be played between the Normal
second team and Nooksack high school previous to the beginning of the big
event. The team is expecting the same- loyal support given them by the-
faculty and students during the Ellensburg series. A record-breaking
attendance is prophesied as interest over last week's games with
Ellensburg is still at high pitch and students will be there to compare
the playing of the two sister normals.

WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1928 3 WASHINGTON NORMALS MAY GRANT
DEGREES "Indications now are that Normal schools -will be given the power
to grant degrees at the close of the present legislative session,"
President N. D. Show-alter said this morning. The following is an exact
copy of the bill which will be' presented before the legislature some
time during the session: An Act Empowering the Granting of Degrees by the
State Normal Schools of Washington When Conforming to Prescribed
Curricula. Be it enacted by the legislature of the State of Washington:
Section I. The degree of A. B. or B. S. may be granted to any student
finishing one of the advanced four-year courses of study in the State
Normal schools in the State of Washington; provided said course of study
is authorized in accordance with the prescribed law and represents four
years of advanced work in teacher training. "This bill has been agreed
upon by all of the State Normals in Washington and lias the approval of
legislative members who nave been consulted concerning it. President
Henry Suzzalo of the University of Washing-ton has expressed himself in
hearty accord with the Normal school plan to grant degrees and lias
discussed the matter with the cleans of his faculty, who have also
approved the plan. •'Our alumni association is enthusiastically in
favor of the idea and has promised to lend the support of their
organization. There is also general agreement among business men, as well
• as teachers, that the degree granting power is in keeping with the
educational plan adopted in many of the states. "Every state beyond Idaho
to the Atlantic seaboard, except Wisconsin, has a degree-granting
institution for teachers. Even among the southern states Texas has five
Normal colleges and South Carolina also has granted the privilege to her
Normal schools. "Practically all northern states have made their Normals
real teachers' training centers with degree-granting privileges;
California, also, has recently given this right to her Normal schools,''
said Mr. Showalter. —State Normal School Journal, Cheney, Wash. B.

at the Pheasant was aranged for the Ellensburg men. The room was
artistically decorated in blue and white for the guests who numbered

and their coach, Mr. Leonard, those who partook of the feast included the

The entire Ellensburg quintet were there to. enjoy the B. S. N.
hospitality, besides a large representation of the Blue and White boys.
Tho the reception was more or less impromptu, there was a large
attendance from the hall and from those living outside. Punch was served
thruout the afternoon. A remarkable feature of the afternoon was the
orcestra that played for the dancers. It was a combination of part of
Ellensburg's orchestra, rendered by the visitors, and the Normal
orchestra. There was quantity as well as quality. Sunday a small group
of girls spent the evening with Miss Sperry and Mrs. Campbell at the home
of Mrs. Guilder - son, on High Street. Vivian Gunderson, who graduated
from the Normal last June was also at home for the weekend. Mrs. Campbell
related many interesting experiences which she had met with during her
work as a Bible teacher, and also told of some strange experiences of her
son and daughter who are missionaries on the foreign field. It was with
real regret that the girls said good night to Mrs. Campbell, for her brief
visit had proved a joy and an inspiration to many. B. S. N. S. SMILES.

1MPIE SAAR1 EI.SA THORSTEINSON WE WANT CARS. When a visiting team comes
to Bellingham, we are expected to care for and entertain them. One of the
things we are expected to do is to transport them from hotel to gymnasium
and other places about. To do this cars are necessary. All schools have
this same problem, and most of them solve it by an appeal to the student
body. This appeal is generally answered at once. But is this the case with
the Normal ? From the Eilensburg experience, we would say not. Twice we
had a sufficiency of cars. Twice decidedly not. But we are not going to
come to a general conclusion on only one instance. We are going to wait
until after the Cheney game tins week. We will need several cars three or
four times Saturday, and possibly Friday. How many people are going to
come forward with offers of help? We know that some of those who helped
before, and all thanks to you public spirited ones, will be with us again.
But we need even more cars. Let's show Cheney a real live bunch of
considerate car owners. % —V. G. B. S. N. S. Have you thought about
buying a Klipsun? If not, why not? It is high time you began to give this
matter some consideration. Only a few days ago the Business Manager of the
1923 Klipsun was heard to remark that in former years there has always
been a large portion of the student body, usually Freshmen, who never make
an attempt to obtain a copy of the Klipsun. Are you in this class f
Soliciting of student Klipsun orders will be made by the management early
in February. With this warning, there should be plenty of time left for
the majority of students to accumulate the necessary two dollars and a
half. The Klipsun staff are putting their best efforts into the successful
completion of the Klipsun, and the Business Manager is laboring manfully
on the many financial problems involved in its publication. However, your
support is needed to make the annual a fiinancial success. Are you going
to pay up? • —B. S. N. S. GIRLS' ATHLETICS. Comments have
been heard right and left upon the game Saturday evening between the
Whatcom and Fairhaven Girls' Alumni team. Why not have more such enjoyable
games? If Normal had a girl's basketball team thrilling games with other
schools might often be added as an attraction to the boys' games. While
you are thinking, talking, hoping and praying: "New Gymnasium," why not
keep up interest thru a girls' school team in basketball! —V. M.
IDYLS OF THE KING NO. 6 I. DE SCRIBE. Once upon a time there were two
brothers, whose names were Carl and Orville. They were knights errant, and
they sat by a fountain outside the castle gates, waiting to fight with
Arthur's knights. Arthur did not know what to do about it, so one day lie
put on his tin suit, and went out to chase them away. After he had beat
themi up, he complimented them on their good sportsmanship, and asked
them to come in and join the Round-ta-le. The accepted and were welcomed
into the crowd. Everybody liked them quite well, but they liked Orville
best, because Carl had such a vicious temper. Sir Carl tried manfully to
overcome this affliction, but just as sure as he became angry, he was
likely to do something awful. Once he even swore at his noble charger.
Now Orville was a trusty knight, and t.ie king often sent him. on
important missions, while Carl was kept ajt Can-a-Lot, in order that he
might not disgrace the Round table with his impulsive temper. Poor Sir
Carl felt his limitations and often wondered how he could improve
himself. He had always admired Arthur's beautiful queen, and thot that
she might be able to help him. "Most gracious queen," he said, "if you
would let me wear some token of your's on my shield.. 1 know that I should
oe a better man." She gave him permission, and the next day he had the
token, in the form of a spit-curl, painted on his shield. In spite of the
great moral encouragement this gave him, one day he felt quite blue; so
he jumped on his horse and rode away. A few days before, Sir Orville had
been sent out to the forest to find a demon that hid there, and destroy
him. Sir Carl rode thru this same forest, seeking solace for his weary
soul. After riding for quite a while, he stopped to rest under a tree,
and fell asleep. When he awoke he saw a girl sitting on a horse watching
him. "Who are you?" he asked. "My name is Bee," she said, "and yours is
Hoggat, isn't it?" She went on without waiting for an answer, "What is
that sign on your shield ?" "It is the Queen's token," he Sir Carl H.
reverently., Bee winked at her companion, Helen, and they laffed long and
loudly. "Ha! ha!" said they. "That's nothing," and Bee added. "If I had a
reputation like that woman's, I wouldn't be handing out any tokens to
innocent, simple little lads like you." At first Carl was angry, but they
spoke with such sincerity, that he was forced to believe them. And then
he was mad—Oh, My!!! To think how he had been fooled. He shrieked
a terible shriek, and began to stamp on the shield. Sir Orville, who was
near by, heard the shriek and thinking it was the demon, came charging
down the forest path. Sir Carl, hearing the clank of armor approaching,
pulled down his visor and prepared to charge the knight who was coming
toward him. Each one's lance pierced the other's armor. The lances were
shattered. Then each drew his sword and dashed at his opponent, not
realizing that he was. fighting his own brother! Finally they fell,
dying, into each other's arms. Bee and Helen, thinking the knights were
dead, hopped off their horses and unfastened their helmets. Then they
rode away. The fresh air revived the brothers and they came too, long
enough for each to explain how sorry he was, and they died in each
other's arms. —Balin and Balan by Alfred Lord Tennyson.

an address on "'How to Do Well in Your College Studies" as an aid for the
students of the State College of Washington in their subjects. Because of
its commendable qualities it has been printed in "School Life," and "The
Cougar," and it is now passed on to normal students who may find some
worthy advise. "If you want to do' well in your college studies, you must
begin well, you must be sure to master thoroughly the daily tasks
assigned to you during the first four weeks of the freshman year. If you
can get the first month's assignments in all your studies so tint t'ir-y
are a real part of your knowledge t'nil thinking, you wave taken the first
great step toward success and happiness in your college career. "The
first four weeks' work can not be thoroughly done unless, you are present
at every recitation and listen attentively to the questions and
discussions. In addition, you must be able to get thoroughly each day's
work. Do not miss a single day of study; go into each class room with the
idea that you will be called upon to answer all the questions and that
you can do so without difficulty. When the questions are asked by the
instructor, think quickly and see if the answers you have in mind are
correct. If you discover your answers are wrong or only half right, you
may be sure you have failed to give enough time to your assignment; or
worse still, you have not learned to study and to know when you have your
lesson. "You must be able to apply some of the simple rules of study if
you are to succeed. If you do not, you will do poor work and much of your
effort will be wasted. The best brain in the world is one that learns
rather slowly, but keeps the information for a long while. The poorest
type of brain is one that learns very slowly and forgets quickly! Very
few of us have the best type of brain, but most of us possess the
second-best type, which we must use so we can get the.greatest service
from it. "Such a brain will not work well unless we help it all we can.
It must be trained. President Eliot, of Harvard, has said that the
greatest thing toi get in college is the trained capacity for mental
labor, rapid, intense, and • sustaining. He adds. "It is the main
achievement of college life to win this mental force, this capacity for
keen observation, just inference and sustained thought." "Now. let us
ask, how can we acquire this trained capacity? The pyschologist has
answered the qeustion. "'Have a fixed time each day for the preparation
of each lesson. Do not let anything break into your schedule of work.
Follow a fixed schedule of work for a month and you will be likely to
follow it for four years. '"Study the lesson as a whole, to get a general
idea of its content and then go back and analyze it carefully. Ask
yourself questions about the lesson, and try to answer these questions,
dial-, lenge any statements you dp not under-' stand and then see if you
find justification for them in the lesson. "Make a synopsis and visualize
it so that the relationship of the various parts is clear in your mind. I
"At all times, work with concentration. Get into the study with a deter-'
mination to understand every part clear-1 ly so that you individually,
could answer ! all the questions that might be asked by f the instructor:
or you could stand before the class and explain the lesson in de-! tail.
An hour of concentration is worth I a half day's time spent in study when
| you are not giving it your best interest, i Others have made fine
records in this i work—so can you. "Occasionally review the past
month's I or week's work; see if you understand I it and can make a
sumary of the es- J sential points. | "Make yourself assume the attitude
you would have if you were playing tennis, basketball, football, or any
other game. game. Go in with all the interest, concentration, and drive
you possess. You want to win in play; be victorious in the intellectual
challenge that has been thrown down to you. Don't be a quitter, and don't
be a second-rater. Summary. First—Plan a Study Schedule. "It will
make you an orderly worker; make your work more efficient. "Y7ou will
know what you want to do, and can start at once, not waste time. "It
will distribute your time fairly, so you will not give it all to one
difficult or attractive subject and neglect others.
Second—Schedule Your Day. "Work out how much time you give to
sleep, meals, recreation, recitations and home duties. "Divde the
remaining time, your study time, between the subjects on your study
schedule. "Put the first hours, when you are fresh, on the things hardest
for you; leaving notebook writing, map making, and like work until later.
Third—"Look After Study Conditions. "Have a definite place for
study as well as Time. "See that the heat, light, fresh air, and quiet
make study easier. Ilemove pictures and other distracting things from
your desk or table. Furth—Learn To Concentrate. "Do not look up
when someone comes into the room. "Have one chair in which you never do
anything but study. "Making an outline of the work that you are to cover
in a lesson helps. "If you mind wanders, try studying aloud, or (if it
disturbs others) with moving lips. "Sometimes writing out the statement
or statistics to be learned while saying them aloud, helps fix them in
mind. Fifth—Be Interested. "Forget that you are working for your
instructor; you are really working for Yourself. "Find the connection
between the subject you are studying and the things you are interested
in. "Do not swallow the statements whole, but face them intelligently,
see if they seem reasonable to you, if not, find out Why. "Make a.
sporting proposition of it. Don't be a quitter or a second-rater. You
have as good a mind as your fellows. You can make a good record, or
better. It depends on your method of study and vour Will. B. S. N. S.
ELLENSBURG'S IDEA OF THE BATTLES Fans here are unable to understand the
setbacks received at Bellingham Saturday, unless the cracker box gymnasium
at Bellingham was too big a handicap for the vistors. —Ellensburg
Evening Record. WINNING A LETTER RUEL KNOWLTON When Young Johnson' came
to Lin-- clon High School, he wore short trousers. He was slightly over
five feet in height, and weighed only ninety-eight pounds. He knew a good
deal about football, and his one big ambition was to win his high school
letter in the gridiron sport. On the Monday afternoon preceding the
final game with Franklin, Johnson gave an impromptu exhibition in the art
of kicking goals. Coach Laws had called the players to one end of the
field in order to instruct them in a new kind of forward pass formation;
and Johnson had picked up one of the stray footballs lying about, and had
begun Ir's usual kicking practice. After a time, Laws himself led his
squad to where Johnson was performing, and watched for a time without
comment. After the little fellow had kicked eight goals in succession,
however, without the semblance of a miss, the football coach turned to
his squad with twinkling eyes. "That big fellow there thinks we need a
goal-kicker on our team," he announced. "And he is showing us how it
ought to be done." Ten times, in rapid succession, the under-sized fellow
had kicked the pigskin fairly between the posts and over the bar. The
coach knew that he had no one on the squad that could do that. Laws held
out his hand saying, "You can report with the teani at the station on
Saturday morning and go to Franklin." The next day. the little fellow sat
on the bench most of the game. Franklin had made a touchdown, and they
failed to kick a goal. Lincoln nad just made a touchdown and had one
minute to play. And then Johnson remembered that the game was practically
ended. Wide-eyed, he turned and found Coach Law's eyes fixed upon him.
"Coach," he said, "if you will give me a chance, I can kick that goal for
the team. I know I can." For a moment the coach did not answer, and then
with one of his characteristic quick decisions, he nodded permission and
said: "Go on the field for full-back, and the team will know what you are
there for." The ball sailed upward fair and true, and cleared the cross
bar at the very center. He had Avon thea game for his school in the last
few seconds of play .uul his school would not forget it soon. And so it
was that little Johnson, hardly five feet in height and weighing less
than a hundred pounds, earned his school letter in football. B. S. 2sT.

NORMAL • The hard fighting basket artists representing our school
went down to defeat both Friday and Saturday nigths at Bellingham. The
reports indicate that the Hyaks outfought and outplayed Bellingham but
their shooting eyes were not functioning at their best. The score of the
first game was 25 to 16, and of the second game 32 to 18. Full details
were not given in the wire, but we know the boys played up to their limit.

6 BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY
19, 1922 FORMER FACULTY MEMBER WRITES FROM PHILIPPINES "November 23,
1922, "TO THE MESSENGER: "From the far off Philippines I send Christmas
greetings and best wishes for a happy New Year to all my Belling-ham
Normal friends. How I would love to be with j'ou again and to tell you of
this country, so different from anything in the States and so little
known. "I have just returned to Manila,, after spending two montns in the
far interior of that great Philippine Island so far to the south, vast,
mysterious, and half explored Mindanao. I traveled nearly 1,000 miles,
making a reconnaissance of lakes and rivers, for the purpose of making
recommendations about the introduction and planting of food fishes.
"Climbing giant voleanos, visiting remote mountain lakes, riding or hiking
for hundreds of kilometers thru tremendous forests with all the wealth of
tropical vegetation possible, strange flowers, tangled vines, monkeys,
screaming cockatoos, and beautiful song birus, days and nights in narrow,
cranky, dugout canoes threading interminable swamps peopled with an
almost incredible number and variety of water birds and covered for miles
and miles with glorious pink lotus—such were some of my
experiences. "'My trip to Lake Nuniulgan was Jin interesting one. Leaving
Ganassi. a village at the southwest corner of Lake Lanao, which lies at
an elevation of 2,200 feet, we traveled to the southwest. For two or
three nours we rode over a region, of high grass covered hills, threading
our way thru fields of upland rice and passing many strange Moro houses.
Gradually we left tin's all behind and wound our way up into the great
forest covering the mountain range which we must cross. Here were
enormous trees WK.. far flung wall-like buttress roots, and grotesque,
incredibly huge wild figs or banians filling the air with a multitude of
roots. Higher up were miles and miles of those most beautiful creatures
of all the plant world, tree ferns, ten, twenty, forty feet in height,
while in the wet places pandans hobbled around on their strange
prop-roots, their crowns raised eighty or ninety feet aoove. In one part
we traveled under lofty arches formed by giant bamboo, e:ich clump many
yards in diameter, each stalk as thyck as my thigh, and their delicate
tips swaying seventy-five feet or more . in the air above. "My, what
grand fishing poles they about tiie middle of the afternoon would make
for a Brobdignagian! "In time we uegan to descend, following a dashing
mountain stream, and cular sheet of water a mile or more in diameter. It
is surrounded by a nar-reached Lake Nunungaii, an almost cir-row rim of
rice padines, behind which rise great b'lls and mountains of an ap-pllng
ptcepness. Clustered at the foot of the highest peek of all, a mountain
visible from the coast, lies the village where we spent the night. "I
found that the lake had an outlet, its waters flowing off directly into
the bowels of the great mountain, so that J thought at once of "Where
Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless to man." "Of
great interest to all Normalites would be a visit to the school at
Nunun-gan. The building is of bamboo, with split bamboo floor and a grass
thatched roof and, like all the native buildings, stands on posts. There
is a single entrance at one side and the opposite wall covered with
blackboard. "The principal was a Christian Filipino, his assistant a
young Moro, for this is in the heart of the Moro country. The principal
held his classes on one side of the. central aisle, while his assistant
held forth at the otiier end of the room. Most of the children were boys,
but there was a fair sprinkling of girls, as the Moros are beginning to
allow their girls to go to school. The children were a motley lot, judged
by Christian standards, but when I thought of the advantages children
have in the United States I was filled with sympathy and compassion for
these poor children struggling under such handicaps of poverty, language
and religious opposition. All were barefoot of course, since the Moros
away from tiie cities never wear shoes. Some boys,and girls wore only a
sarong,. a pillow; case like garment, open at both ends. Small boys may
luiA'e it twisted around their loins or around their neck, or cover
themselves entirely with it. Most boys wore also a pair of very short,
skin-tight trousers, on tiie model of bathing trunks; a few were
elaborately dressed, with tight jackets and long skin-tight trousers
which have to be buttoned around the legs, both garments elaborately
spattered with gold or silver buttons. These were the sons of datus or
chiefs. Since these people never wash their clothes and have no soap, the
sarongs, once white, were now far from., pleasing to the eye. But the
children who have had a Tew years of schooling change all this as far as
it lies within their power. The schools teach the Moros cleanliness,
sanitation, and hygiene, things which are utterly unknown to them
otherwise. "The Sultan of jSunungan, a tall, powerful, middle-ageu man,
half naked, surprised me by stepping to the front and making a ten minute
speech to the children. He was terribly in earnest and looked savage
enough to chop off .i head or two. The governor of the .province, who was
with me, said the Sultan was telling the children now proud he was of the
school, and how they must attend regularly and study hard: in short, he
made just such a speech as any prominent citizen WOUK! make in the United
States when addressing a school. "I could not help thinking of me
wonderful changes time makes. Seven or eight years ago this Nunungan
region was infested by notorious bands of outlaws who fought desperately
against the coming of the Christian and all uis innovations and now here
he is urging the children of the tribe to do the things which upset the
old order. These Mohammedans are still a polygamous, slave-holding people
but such things wui not last many generations against the increasing
influence of the public schools. "Our ride back was in a terrific
rainstorm, which broke as we were ascending the mountain. The
land-leeches, loathsome, liver-colored blood suckers simply swarmed on
the ground and every time 1 alighted I was covered by them. From the
trees and bushes kept dropping down more landleeches, handsome gold and
green striped fellows but equally voracious. "About noon tiie rain ceased
and as we emerged from the dark forest and caught sight of the blue
waters of Lake Lanao, hundreds of feet below us, with a rainbow over it
twenty or thirty miles off, I felt that traveling in Mindanao had its
pleasures in spite of occasional discomforts. "Hoping that 1!)23 may be
the best year the Bellingham Normal has ever had, I am Sincerely,
ALBERT W. C HERRE, Chief, Division of Fisheries, Bureau of Science. B.

'Mid leaves whereon the auunin sunshine dapples A boy, a human boy, among
his apples. "Come down at once, you rascal!" rages Giles. (At which
request the youngster merely smiles.) "Come down!" he roars again. "Hi,
Towser, • at him! I'll give the varmint stealing apples, drat him!"
"Control yourself, old man," replies the youth: "Your diagnosis scarcely
fits the truth. Instead of roaring insults in this fashion I ought to
have your pity and compas-siion. "In me you see an ill-used lad, you
do— His parents' pride but, ah, their victim, • too! Remote
from modern movements, peaceful, quiet, They don't know how to regulate
my diet. •' "Hence I must try (as you yourself perceive) To fill
the known deficiency they leave. Your charge would move a scientist to
laughter: Apples be blowed—it's vitamines I'm after!" The moral
is—In these enligthened times It's very hard to say what count as

Student
Opinions That tne Training school could take care of so many student
teachers has always been an interesting fact, but the numbers doing
practice teaching at the nine o'clock hour Wednesday and ten o'clock hour
on Mondays is simply phenomenal. Did you ever notice them leaving
assembly the instant the warning bell rings? Is it not too bad they
cannot all sit together near the back of the room so their leave taking
would not disturb everyone quite so much? In that case there might not be
so general a stampede. Anyway, it does not look very complimentary to the
speaker. —M. L. — B. S. N. S. Did you ever go to the
bookcase in search of a particular book and fail to find it anywhere near
the books numbered as it was? Perhaps you needed it badly and went to the
librarian and found that it was neither out nor reserved. You then went
back and searched very diligently all the bookcases anywhere near and
even between two books of an entirely different subject. Someone had been
using it in the library and had not bothered to put it back in the rigth
place. So until some energetic people like yourself or one of the library
force, sets it right, there it stays. The magazine files cause just the
same waste of time. Wouldn't it be grand if all the students would reform
in this one particular? —M. L. B. S. N. S. Hello! "Hello!"
Doesn't last for a minute, A clear little, queer little word, But,, say!
There's a lot of cheer in it. It's like the first chirp of a bird In
spring, when the hilltops are greening Right after the cold and the snow
I think, when it comes to real meaning- There isn't one word like "Hello."
—James W. Foley. "Hello!" Doesn't take but a minute A quick little
friendly word. By some seems to have never been heard. Some folks, when
they meet on the campus Pass by; without nod or a smile. I think to
boost our school spirit They should practice "hello" for awhile. It's
full of good cheer when we say it, It shows that we're friends on the
hill, We all shouldn't act like we fear it, It scatters bad felings and

Comments. Dr. Miller sumbits a comment on a phase of one of Dr.
Sternheim's recent lectures, which involved the characterization of the
educational attitude of the eastern and southern sections of our country.
Dr. Sternheim summarized in a word, refefing to each section, its
so-called educational attitude—that of the East, "finality," and
tnat of the South, "sloth." The attitude of the West also, in regard to
education, was characterized by the word "novelty." In oposition to the
word "finality," as applying to the East, Dr. Miller reminds us of the
fact that a very large number of progressive movements originated in the
eastern section of the country. For instance, the playground movement had
its origin in Boston; also the movement for vocational guidance,
originating in Boston and New York at about the same time. The
differentiation of the curriculum, of'the . higher grades, to secure more
flexible promotion and freedom for vocational work was first tried out in
the State of Massachusetts. The elective system in college was first
brought into prominence by its adoption at Harvard, and the use of
intelligence tests for college entrance was inaugurated by Columbia
University. At least four of the newer types of experimental schools, for
elementary education are located in the East. Also one of the largest and
most progressive teachers' colleges in the world is in New York City. The
South, the educational attitude of which Dr. Sternheim expressed as
"slothful," has made relatively greater progress in education since 1900
than any other part of the country. Of course they were farther behind,
but their backwardness was due largely to the devastation and poverty
caused by the Civil War. Industrial progress has, however, bettered
conditions. Two of the best teachers' colleges are located in the South.
They are Peabody Teachers' College at Nashville, Tennessee, and one at
Rock Hill, South Carolina, both of which equal any four-year teachers'
college of the Middle West or Western portion of our country. This
comment, it is understood, criticizes but this one phase of Dr.
Sternheim's speech, as he proved a remarkable lecturer in every respect.
But the characterization of the East or South by a single name, though
clever, is impossible. B. S. N. S. Hoop Rules. Realizing that there is
only one way to get into the pink of condition for basketball, and that
is by adopting strict training rules and observing them, the men turning
out adopted practically the same rules that they observed last year. It
is no secret at least to the members of last years team that much of
their success was due to their ability to go just a little harder and
longer than their opponents. Several teams had more weight and experience
but they did not have the staying powers of the Maroon and Orange.
Following are the rules: 1. No dances. 2. No smoking. 3. No pie, rich
cake, tea or coffee. 4. No soft drinks with the exception of one milk
shake or malted milk a day. 5. No candy. 6. Home at 10 p. m. week nights
and 11 p. m. Friday and Saturday. Sunday is the same as a week night.

£LUB (tfftj ALKISIAH CLUB NOTES. The wind blew around the house and
the snow flakes fell thick and fast. Miss Moffat sat by the fire with the
"Weekly Messenger" in her hand, opened at "Club Notes." She put on her
glasses and read: January—192G. The Alkisiah Club motored over, to
their club house at Normal stad, in their Alkisiah Club touring car, last
Thursday evening. The meeting was called to order by the president. The
minutes of the last meeting were read by the secretary. The following
business was brought before the house: Owing to the great success in the
sale of bulbs and seals at Christmas time, there is considerable amount
of money in the treasury. So the club have decided to install a radio set
at the club house and send their programs broadcast over the country.
After the business meeting a program was given, then the girls spent the
remainder of the evening toasting marsh-mallows before the large open
fireplace, and playing games. . ' Miss Moffat folded the paper, took off
her glasses, and glanced out of the window. "Let us then be up and doing
with a heart for any fate. Still achieving, still pursueing, learn to
labor and to wait." She smiled to herself and caressed the paper. B. S.
N. S. — THESPIAxio. Thursday, January 25th, is a momentous date in
the Philo and Thespian clubs. For on that evening the basketball title
for both boys and girls is to be decided. The defeated teams will treat
both clubs to refreshments, so there is one thing to look forward to, no
matter who wins. It has been decided that February 22 is to be the date
for the Annual Thespian banquet, so Washington's birthday anniversary is
to have an added significance. •' The business meeting finally
concluded, a splendid play was presented. Everyone played his part so
well that we could hardly realize that they were not who they were
pretending to be. "The Dear Departed" was the title of the play and the
east consisted of Mr. Slater, Dewey Boman; Mrs. Slater, Madeline Temple.

January 12. NORMAL STUDENTS MIX IN BASKETBALL NORMAL'S W. A. A. IS
INCREASING RAPIDLY Excitement ran high Saturday evening when the
Fairhaven Alumni lassies mixed with their "used-to-be" Whatcom rivals.
Early in the game Whatcom took the lead and the first half ended in their
favor. Fairhaven has not forgotten how to come back and the second half
was a royal battle. Again and again the score was tied with Whatcom
breaking it each time. 18-18 and only a few second to go! Just before the
whistle blew a Whatcom forward located the basket and scored 2, thus
placing the score 20-18 in Whatcom's favor. The game was played as a
preliminary to the Ellensburg-Bellingham game. Though the teams were not
representing Normal, they were composed almost entirely of past and
present Normal students. Whatcom Pos. Fairhaven Doris Turner F Agnes

for Mernie Nemyre. B. S. N. S. The side lines were quiet when Maurie was
knocked out by his weighty opponent, Friday night at the basketball game.
From the tense silence came a relieved sound when "Bee" Thomas suddenly
exclaimed, "Oh, he's got it back!" Leave it to a gathering of healthy,
wholesome-minded athletic girls to make things hum. Last Friday evening
the girls of the W. A. A. sped from the big gym (and dance hour), towards
the cafeteria. At the time, lest all the hungry dancers become suspicious
and invade the scene of satisfaction (of appetites) not a word was
uttered as to the reason for the rapid migration northward.
But—After a repast of pies, sandwiches and various other appetizers,
the girls indulged in a yell rally. When it comes to yelling the W. A. A.
members are still inoculated with the good old high school peptorism. On
getting properly wound up they quietly (?) slipped from the building over
to the Fairhaven gymnasium, tiptoed in, and never once disturbed the
audience with so much as a whisper. If you weren't at the game you may
believe that, but if you are awake at least one period of a day at school
within the next six months you may change your minds, for "W. A. A." plans
are rising rapidly, and an overflow of something this school hasn't seen
for many a day is expected at any time. KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN. B. S. N. S.

speed. Take ten off for each mistake and divide by four. You typed for

Ellensburg annual, is to sell for $2.50. This year it will have a Molloy
imitation leather cover, and will contain eight or ten pages of .campus
scenes which, with the stories, organization sections and other features,
will make it an annual worth having and worth keeping. Ellensburg has
great expectations for a championship basketball team, as her squad is
composed of some of the best basketball material in the state. State
Normal School Journal, Cheney: Cheney Normal desires that every student
and faculty member speak of the Normal using its right name "The State
Normal School" at Cheney. They believe that if it is known or spoken of
as Cheney Normal, that it is implying a false condition, for it is not a
local but a State Normal. They desire to have the proper name used. The
Trail, C. P. S., Tacoma: C. P. S., according to a recent editorial, wants
to have as its slogan for the football year of 1923. "C. P. S., the
Center College of the West." And following Dr. Coue's "day by day," hope
to carry out the slogan. -B. S. N. S. CHENEY TO BE ENTERTAINED GRIDIRON
WARRIORS RECEIVE EMBLEMS Block W's were presented to the members of the
football squad, during Wednesday's assembly, by Coach Sam Carver. As the
names of the players were read, the members of the team came forward and
took their place on the platform. Thomas Frank spoke in behalf of the
team, and explained to the student body the significance of. the emblem
which the members of the team were about to receive, and what this emblem
meant to the players. Coach Carver presented the "letters" to the
following players: Lawrence Kep-linger, captain (end); Guy Bond, end;
Randolph Dawson, end; Thomas Frank, Tackle; Paul Rairdon, tackle; Sam
Ford, guard; Dewey Bowman, guard; Ruei Knowlton, guard; Oscar Linstedt,
center; Boyde Staggs, quarter; Archie Thomas, fullback; Harold Gaasland,
halfback; Ralph Miller, halfback; Walter Vanderford, halfback. B. S. N.
S. MUSICAL PROGRAM GIVEN Arangements are being made for the
entertainment of the Cheney basketball team which comes here Saturday. The
plans of entertainment include a banquet for the teams Saturday evening
and a dance for all Normal students Saturday afternoon. The banquet is in
charge of a committee chosen by the president of the Students'
Association, namely: Tina Pearson, Helen Hightower, and Mr. iKolstad. It
will be given for the two teams, the managers, and coaches. Plans for the
Saturday afternoon dance are in the hands of Leland Rankin, Helen Goke,
Tina Pearson, and Miss Keeler. -B. S. N. S. — Personal Survey. As
Dr. Sternheim suggested that the students take a day off and give
themselves a personal survey, the matter was taken up in Tuesday's
Woman's assembly. The girls are going to survey themselves for a week.
Each girl has a card on which she must put down the exact number of
minutes spent on each lesson, on outside work, or anything that takes up
time. This will help the faculty see who is making the lessons too long,
and will also show wherein the students may divide their time more
evenly. A very enjoyable musical program was given Wednesday, during the
latter part of the assembly hour. A part of our school talent was once
more expressed in the following program: Vocal solos Irene Stewart
Carissimo by Arthur Penn. Duna by Josephine McGill. Betty Yost,
accompanist. Trio—* Marian Westerland, violin. Julia Squires,
cello. Mrs. Hagerdorn, pianist. Serenade by Chaminades My Heart at Thy
Sweet Voice (from Samson and Delila). Violin solo Marian Westerland Der
John der Haide Accompanied by Mrs. Hagerdorn. Appreciation was shown by
the applause rendered after each selection. In fact the hour was entirely
too short.

debate held Monday. The delivery, Mr. Bever declared was good, but he
felt that the debaters were not, on the whole, fully possessed of all
possible material. The negative, especially argued beside the question,
appealing only to public opinion. Incidentally, Mr. Bever urged the
presence of a good audience at the debates which will take place later in
the year, as Mr. Bever expressed it, we should have the same spirit in
turning out for debates as has been recently shown toward athletics. The
support of the student body will not only encourage the members of the
team, but will also be beneficial to the school. PHILLIPS SHOE STORE 113

Holly St. Near Elk BIBLE INSTITUTE ENDS MBuch interest in the Bible
Institute held here last week was shown by the large number of girls who
attended every meeting. Mrs. Addison Campbell, of Seattle, was the
speaker at all of the meetings. She had expected that Mrs. Samuel Bowman,
also of Seattle, would accompany her, but Mrs. Bowman was unable to come.
Mrs. Campbell already had many friends in the school, and she made many
more during this last visit. It would be impossible to say which of her
meetings was the most interesting and helpful, but one especially which
was very interesting was on the subject of Woman's Privilege and
Responsibility. "I believe," said Mrs. Campbell, "that back of every
great event in the world's history there has been a woman, sometimes a
wife, often a mother, who is in a large measure responsible." Following
the custom of previous years, Saturday's meeting was a missionary meeting
and Mrs. Campbell Tead a very interesting letter from her daughter in
Korea, describing some of the expereinces she had been thru as a
missionary there. The Y. W. is grateful especially to the girls who
furnished special music at the meetings, Miss Mary Passage, Miss Ruth
Markham and Miss Elizabeth Izaacs. B. S. N. S.: Wm. Charleston, Captain

attempting to sleuth out a* mystery. For many days past, a mysterious
package has reposed in the pigeon -hole marked I, in the Co-op. After
inspecting the package, the addressee feared to open it, and consequently
sent the long suffering editor and an assistant to investigate. Though
still in doubt as to whom he is indebted, Mr. O. Ingersoll wishes to
extend his thanks thru the columns of this paper to the donner of the
excellent eocoanut fudge.PPPPP
