Cedar Chips By Ted When We retail how effectively Sherman expressed
himself about mere war, we often wonder what he would say itr regard to
student teaching in the training school. ... TELL ONE YOURSELF, THEN.
"OH, THERE'S NOTHING TO EDITORIAL WRITING," THE MAN SAID. "YOU SEE, NO
ONE EVER READS THEM." Joe Hermsen was being entertained by one of the
800... They had gotten as far as the weather. ^ She: "It's so much colder
up here than it was back home. Down there I wore light garments -all
winter, but up here I have to wear heavier clothing. You know, I. am from
Georgia?" Joe: "IB that so? I'm from Missouri." LEARN FROM RALPH After
you see "The Road to Yesterday" next wteek, you'll believe Ralph Johnson
of truthfully singing, "When the sun has gone to rest, that's the time

is now being told that. a Normal girl actually did turn a man down once.
Ton don't believeit partner? It seems there were two—wait, wait,
wrong side—it seems that a mistake was made, and the Edens Hall
steps had been cleaned, so that a girl slipped and felL Therefore she had
to call off her date with Mr. H •'.'••'. . Pearl
Bartfnff (probably in a fit of Jealousy) sputtered that the girl would
have fallen sooner or later, anyway. Who was the man?_ Dan Beighle? No.
This Bryan Hanldns? Oh, no. Mr. Berg? Well—Wo, we won't telL Hen,
was the fellow sore? Certainly not. It wasn't he that fell. Just think.
This is but one of the real problems plain? ly and frankly discussed by
our men last Tuesday. But are their meetings ..written up in the
Messenger? fBoS' fwore President Hankins. . When the Men's Club settled
some'time - ago: Vtbat married men do make the best husbands" how much
space did it get? We could repeat that question, but it would be exactly
the same thing. ' It's the Men's Club that hands you programs in assembly
and then leave so others can have their seats. And it's the Men's Club
who are the only thing in school that doesn't own galoshes. Just then the
men sent.up a cheer for the Kormal—their Normal. "Look at the pages
the Women's League get in the paper of which I, yes, I, am business
manager.'' Here Pres. Hankins broke down, and the' meeting broke up.

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

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

State's Chief Executive and His Staff Meet with Pres. Fisher and School's
Trustees, on Tuesday. LIBRARY IS FAVORED Hartley's Policy Toward Normal
Schools Described by President Fisher as Being Very Friendly. "We feel
that as far as Governor Hartley .and his staff are concerned the needs of
Bellingham Normal will be well 'taken care of,". President C. H. Fisher
stated after the visit of the state executive and his staff to the school
Tuesday afternoon. At a meeting of the governor-,-his staff, President
Fisher and the Normal trustees, the school budget lor the next two years
and matters pertaining to it were discussed. President Fisher said:
"Undoubtedly the Normal, with the approval of the state legislature, is
to be able to go ahead with construction of 'a library during next year,"
so it at last appears as if the dreams,, of a library building will come
true in the immediate futurei The budget asks for $260,000 to.erdct and
furnish the building, which will be located where Cedar street now is,
facing the campus. Since last year's state legislature passed the bill
containing the provision for a library, there seems to be little
opposition to its erection. "Freedom and frankness of discussion led to a
satisfactory understanding of our problems. on the part of Governor
Hartley and his staff," President Fisher added. "The visit was most
satisfatory in every respect. "The policy of the; governor is to insist
on quality instead of numbers at the Normal and in this policy the Normal
heads are heartily in accord with the chief executive. The_JNbr-mal
trustees and myself do not feel that they could have asked finer
consideration than was given at the meeting. "We found that there is no
disposition on the part of

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

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

Matinee l^rforniance /Given for Convenience of Home ^Gfcing
Stents, V$ell Attended. :; As "the initial offering of the cur- * :flsnt
musical season, the Russian Symphonic Choir was presented by the
Bellingham Women's Music Club » d the Normal at the First Chris- :l
tian Church, Wednesday evening, Jfo-vember 24. Although a special matinee
performance had been given in the afternoon at the Normal, the ironing
-conceit was pleasantly received by an almost full house. With no
instrumental accompaai-saent the group of choristers at once suggested
something : of the novel,; the unusual, in vocal rendition. Voices
Represent Opera. - Other •• features than the unique; oess of
the presentation Attracted the j audience for the two-hour program,
towever. The perfect ensemble of voices often reminded of an orchestra.:
JSharp, plear bells could be distin-! gushed, by the occasional chanting
of male voices. Humming, a variation of tone employed effectively by the
choir, gave forth a delightful imitation of a tremulous violin. Deep
-basses suggested the vibrancy of the 'cello. The entire effect was
pleasant ;and satisfying. Grouped in regard to sacred songs, ^classical
music and folk songs, the program was well divided. Of the premier group
the. repeated strains of; "Lord, Have Mercy" proved most effective, with
careful modulations of difficult chords. Classical Music Pleasant.
Beethoven's "Andante Con Moto"is rarely heard in chorus; therefore its
interpretation was appreciated. "Plai-senterie" of Nikolsky was an
attractive lyrical completion of the classical group. Most appealing of
the Russian folk songs was a Chechoslovakian dance song arranged by
Basile Eabalchich, conductor of the choir. Other folk songs were marked
by their lyrical, and charming, simple themes. In the early part of
January the second number of the musical course will be given when
Reinald Werren-irath, American baritone, will appear lin recital.

your partner. She may not love you as much as yon think she does. 2.
Don't lean on your partner; she's probably had no lunch, either. 3. Place
one finger on your partner's shoulder. She may not be used to dead
weight. 4. Don't look as if you were in pain. Take courage—dances
don't last a lifetime. 5. Try not to get your form in the shape of a
pretzel. Other shapes are far more becoming. 6.. Be light on her feet as
well as on your own. 7. Listen to the music. Your conversation may not
be quite as full of harmony. 8. . Keep time. The man who wrote the music
knows more about rhythm than you do. 9. Dont try to invent some new
stuff in dancing. People knew how to dance before you arrived. 10. Follow
these instructions and you're sure to get away with the girls. Haw, haw,
