At that time more than forty new classes were organized, including review work in common branches, classes in advanced subjects as well as methods classes in several of the common school branches. The school is always able to find good board­ing places for all who come, and excellent ac­commodations may be secured for four dollars per week. Furnished rooms for light house­keeping may also be rented at very reasonable prices. OPPORTUNITY TO WORK The Normal School has always been able to secure places in private homes for all young ladies who wish to work for their board while attending school. At the present time places can be found for a dozen girls if there are girls who will accept this excellent opportunity to attend school at the minimum of cost. The school is always glad to assist students to find places where they may earn their board and room while in school, and correspondence is invited from all who are interested in further details.

If you have Been "slammed" in our issue, we can only say "slam back," but if you are Seniors, do for your own sakes be original! WHO SHALL TEACH MY DAUGHTER? In the eyes of the law the teacher stands, while on duty, in loco parentis, i. e., in the place of the parent. But in many other ways she stands in loco parentis. From the age of six years on, the child spends nearly one-half its waking hours with another than its mother, and this during its most plastic, im­pressionable age. How often at home is heard: "My teacher says or my teacher thinks or my teacher does so and so." If the home is bad and the teacher good, one may see how easily the teacher's influence may reach beyond her school room to sweeten and leven, both in an ethical and artistic way. But if the home is good, cultured, beautiful, while the teacher is a clod, how often may the parent's heart be saddened by daily signs of the teacher's in­delible marks upon the child. In the Connecticut Valley are a series of red sandstone rocks, which upon being quar­ried reveal a wonderful tale of days gone by, •when creeping, crawling, slimy monsters moved over the sands when they were soft and impressionable. Not less far reaching and indelible are the marks of a teacher upon the soul of a child. So, I am deeply concerned as to who shall teach my little daughter when she starts to school. She is no better, no smarter, no more valuable to the state than the average Ameri­can child, but still she is mine and I am largely responsible for her happiness and future well being. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 7 ---------- The Normal Messenger 7 Who shall her teacher be? First, let her be in fairly good health. Let her have no con­tagious disease. The reason is evident. Let her be nervously sound. Bad health reacts upon the disposition, making a jerky, fretful complaining teacher. Some people cheer us by their calmness. They are like good medi­cine. Others depress us by their lack of vitality. The nervous, sickly person owes it to himself as well as to the community to en­gage in some other occupation than teaching. Second, may my daughter's teacher be a woman of honor. I want her to believe in the square deal. A friend of mine visited a school room. A child of the poor entered, gave the teacher a bunch of clover blossoms. The teacher expressed thanks mechanically. Soon a child of wealth entered and presented the teacher with beautiful roses. Thanks were effusive. A little while after the clovers were in the waste basket; the roses enthroned on the teacher's desk. Thus are the seeds of po­litical unrest sown in young hearts to bear fruit in the future. Let my ideal teacher abhor a lie as she would the small-pox. Let her heart be large and wondrous kind, sensitive to the manifold trials of a little child and ready with sym­pathy. She will not needlessly inflict suffering on a single one of God's creatures, however lowly. A part of her moral teaching will be kindness to animals. Let her not be addicted to that disgusting habit—gossip. I know of people who are fervently religious, particular in all that per­tains to the form or empty shuck of religion, but who do not disdain to rip their friends and enemies up the back on all occasions. Their judgments are cruel. I trust that if she cannot speak in compliment she will keep silent. Gossips are the worst of social nuis­ances. If the world is ever reformed, it will not be by tongue lashing but by noble ex­ample. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Normal Messenger My ideal teacher will not be "swagger," if I know what that means. No loud woman to teach my child—none who prides herself on meeting men half way or even being free with them. For this ideal one the bars of feminine modesty are always up. Third, may her teacher be one whose soul is attuned to the beautiful. I do not mean her to be one who raves over art. True art­ists and art lovers do not "rave." An appre­ciation of the holiness of beauty renders one silent. The empty gourd rattles; the shallow brook babbles. She should know how to dress herself—to get herself up; should know what colors she can wear. It is surprising how much children like you; how much better they behave when you are attractively dressed. A bright waist will often save a gloomy day. Let this ideal teacher know good pictures; understand color harmony; have some ac­quaintance with the great painters whose works are so commonly copied. Little chats with children on these topics leave a bias and impression that is lasting. Fourth, let my daughter's teacher be sound in her scholarship. Let her speak the English language with elegance. This first, for while mistakes in arithmetic teaching may be outgrown or corrected, habits of speech cling to us like our complexion. The speech habits of youth are practically indelible. Let her know her subjects—arithmetic, grammar, or what not that she is called upon t o teach. Fifth, let her rule from principle rather than from affection or brute force. May my child be led to do things because it is right and eternally fit that she do them, not be­cause she loves her teacher. If my child is rude, I wish her to apologize; not because her teacher wishes or compels her to do so, but ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 because any fair-minded person should do so when he has been rude. Sixth, let her be a happy teacher. No re­cluse, cut off from every day life, for my child. Let her not mope her evenings and her health away with papers—examination or other­wise. How can she fit my child for a rational place in life and society when she has no such place herself? Lastly, let my daughter's teacher be a pro­gressive teacher. Eyes open for new methods, devices, adornments for her work. To her the institute is not a bore. School journals are used for what there is in them of value to her work. Best of all, she visits, when time allows, the best schools within reach, ready t o seize upon new and good ideas. You will notice I have not placed scholar­ship first. My daughter is not to spend half her waking hours with a human text book, in arithmetic merely, but with a living being with power to mould a child for good or ill. For the teacher, much as I have sketched her, superintendents are looking, school boards are looking, good positions are looking, and I shall soon be looking. E. P. EPLEY. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Normal Messenger Do you see the man? This man is a Line-man. Do you think his Feet are Cold? Yes, of course, his Feet are Cold. What do you see about the Picture? Those are the Socks the Seniors sold Candy to Buy. Will these Socks Cure his Cold Feet? Not if the Juniors are Near. Naughty Juniors! ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger il AS OTHERS SEE US One day, a few weeks ago, I went upon the Normal campus for the first time. Not knowing where to go, I walked rather slowly until a girl overtook me and said, "Good morning" in such tones that I at once un­burdened my heart to her, and like an angel she volunteered to guide me through the building. As we entered the door, she stopped to look at the bulletin boards. "On this side," she said, "you get the latest news from the seat of war;" and I read, "Students may have their grade slips at 10:30 in my room-A. P. R." "This side, "she went on, "is where the an­nouncements of the latest and best shows are;" and I read, "Senior pop-corn sale at noon." Girls were going in every direction; indeed, some of them seemed to be going crazy. ' 'Where are the boys? " I asked. "Hush," she demanded. "Don't mention it in the halls, you might be reported to the faculty." She then pointed out the office. "And this," she said, "is the faculty room." "Oh," I ex­claimed, "do students ever go in here?" "Yes, sometimes," she replied. "Have you ever been in?" "Er—yes—a few—you see, I wanted to take an extra study and had to see 'em about it." "You industrious girl! What did you take?." "Oh! I took mental arithmetic over. Mamma wanted me to, so I would be more thorough." Just then a troup of children marched by. "Seniors?" quizzed I. "No; training-school hopefuls." They had scarcely vanished when I saw the top of a head appear over the banister at the end of the hall. "Is that a Normal or a training-schoolboy?" whispered I,remember- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger ing her remark about mentioning them in the halls. "Training-school."answered she. Just then he came up the steps and vanished in the room to the right. I gasped, "Isn't he a large boy; what class is he in ?" "Species Rominus," said she. Well, we went to the library and had barely reached it when the bell rang for as­sembly. On the way we met a girl, who looked as if she had been cooking oyer a hot stove for several hours. "Just come from the gym, hasn't she?" I asked. "Oh! dear, no," my friend replied. "She has been teaching a class in the seventh grade." I didn't understand Assembly very well. That "Species something" isn't a member of training school at all, 'cause he stood up be­hind the piano. Another fellow hid behind the curtain. They sang one very funrty song. All I could understand was, "Peas and Oni­ons— peas and onions, thro out our happy land," but then they teach agriculture up here. After Assembly we went to a class where there was a little teacher and he grew angry about something—I guess some one must have been peeking at his grade book. Anyway, he said "Confound it," and I came right home to mamma. P. B. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 13 ---------- The Normal Messenger 13 LOCALS The third number of the lecture course, Mrs. Engberg's violin recital, was foremost among the musical events Of the city during the past season. Misses Perkins and Getchel of the Junior class went to Seattle Feb. 16th, on business. Junior Girl, on Feb. 21—'Tmso glad that Washington was born." "Why?" "Because we won't have any school tomorrow." Addresses have been given in assembly by Miss Baker on the "School City," and by Prof. Wilson on "Marshall Field." Other members of the faculty will have their turn in "enlightning us." The students and the training school were treated to some very fine magic lantern views by Mr. Epley. It made us all wish that we had helped "climb Mt. Baker." We are pleased to add Miss lone Chandler of the '05 class of B. H. S. to our Junior list. Dr. Mathes "went over the mountains," into the Palouse region again, "to see what he could see." We must not let him go too often, for every time he goes he becomes more attached to that part of Washington. Miss Minnie LeSourd visited friends in Blaine last week. Every one was delighted with the rendi­tion of "The Merchant of Venice" by Marshall Darrach, the Shakespearean reader. "The ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 14 ---------- 14 The Normal Messenger Merchant of Venice" is more attractive as a comedy than as a tragedy. Miss Hattie Denzel has been unable to attend school on account of illness. Many of the students were seen in the "Normal box" at the presentation of "Lohen­grin," the greatest musical treat this city has ever enjoyed. Miss Nellie Appleby and Miss Helen Gold-thwaite are going to board the remainder of the school year, on account of their parents leaving the city. The faculty of the Normal School gave a reception to the teachers of the city schools Feb. 21. The guests of the hour were Mr. Shafer of the Cheney Normal and President Bryan of Pullman. Prof. F. (in the time problems)—"Last time we had twelve o'clock, and now two in the morning; what next?" Voice from back of the room—"Landlady objects." Miss Corbett spent several days at her home in Seattle. Seattle has numerous at­tractions for Nora. Washington Wilson went down to meet the Chinese embassy, at Seattle, and failed to be on duty Monday. We can't afford to lose Mr. Wilson, our minds would go astray. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 15 ---------- The Normal Messenger 15 THE SENIORS PRAYER The last exam, was done; the class Sought credits where their credit slips were bare, And to the faculty cried, "Oh Thou, Who rule our fates, we make this prayer." They bowed their heads, and bent their knees, As they to the seat of knowledge came; Then pleading voices rose once more, "O'erlook our flunks—our marks of shame." "Our clumsy feet, still in the mire, The paths of knowledge blindly trend. We never can escape from here, If fates on grade steps must depend." "Those things we had not sense to say; Who knows how grand they might have been? But for our blunders here and there, Who knows what medals we might win." The room was hushed; despair fell on The class, who knew full well the rule; Yet once again each prayed his prayer, "Oh Thou, be merciful to me, a fool." ALUMNI Miss Alice Kibbe, '05, is teaching at PeEll, Wash. Miss Grace Drake, '05, is guiding the intel­lectual growth of the grade at Marysville. The following '05 graduates are teaching: Miss Isabelle Gibson, a country school at Springbrook; Miss Katherine Houts, at Bal­lard; Miss Else Anthon, at Friday Harbor; Miss Winnie McMullen, at Auburn. Miss Lottie Graham, '04, is a successful teacher in the sixth and seventh grades in her home at Avon. Miss Graham visited her sis­ter and the Normal Feb. 7. Mr. Lynus Kibbe, an '05 graduate, is still climbing the tree of knowledge in McMinnville College, near Portland, Oregon. Miss Bertha Kale, who attended Normal in 1903, is teaching at Everson. Miss Kale was among the visitors at the basket ball game between Normal and Sumas. The friends of Miss Mabel Murphy were surprised to hear that she has given up her promising career as a teacher and is now ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 16 ---------- 16 The Normal Messenger Mrs. Edgar Bordeaux, residing at Bordeaux, Wash., near Olympia. Miss Elsie Wyatt has also changed her vocation and is now Mrs. K. Belcher of Mossyrock. Miss Grace Willey is teaching an eight-months' term of school at Mason Lake, near Shelton. Miss Carie Robinson, who has taught school for two years since leaving Normal, is now being trained for a trained nurse in Fan­ny Paddock Hospital, Tacoma. Miss Nellie Ramsay, '05, and Miss Char­lotte Pond, who attended Normal in 1904, are teaching at Ferndale. Miss Belle McRae, '05, is teaching in the Everett public schools. THE JUNIORS Never in the history of the Bellingham Normal has that institution had soR!many talented young men and women enrolled in one class. Almost every county in the state is represented and many of the eastern states have also contributed to their number. Pluck and grit are two noted characteristics of this class. That quality—class spirit, which is much desired by all classes is not wanting. Loyally, and without help from under class­men, do the Juniors uphold the Black and ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 17 ---------- The Normal Messenger 17 White in every honorable fray. In victory generous to the fallen foe, in defeat—but they never have been defeated. The class is very ably assisted by their class teacher, Miss Sperry and a very efficient corps of officers, in all that they do. They have shown their appreciation of the work done by their presi­dent by re-electing him for this semester. THE SENIORS Themes for theses have been handed in, assignments to teachers have been made, and the work on "English Ten" has begun in earnest. At a recent election the class chose the fol­lowing officers for the second semester: Eliza­beth Williams, Pres.; Luella N. C. Whitaker, Vice-Pres.; Katherine McNeflf, Sec; Tressie Flesher, Treas.; Selma Glineburg, Sergeant-at- Arms. The Oratory Class of last semster have again begun working on "Ingomar,"and in a short time will be able to give an excellent rendering. BOYS DEBATING CLUB A regular meeting of the Boy's Debating Club was held on February 16. Owing to the basket ball game played that evening, the program was limited to a debate: "Re­solved, that the government of England is more democratic than that of the United States." Mr. Herman Smith lead the affirma­tive, winning much applause because of the thorough knowledge of the subject put forth. Mr. C. Jones ably handled the negative. The judges decided in favor of the affirmative. SIRIUS LITERARY SOCIETY A business meeting of the Sirius Literary Society was held the last week of the past semester for the purpose of electing officers. The officers elected were: President, Carrie Schuh; Vice-President, Loretta Rue; Secretary, ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 18 ---------- 18 The Normal Messenger Grace Armstrong; Treasurer, Ellen O'Farrell, and Sergeant-at-arms, Rosalie Rourke. The two meetings of this semester have been well attended and good programs have been ren­dered. The society is achieving its purpose, which is to arouse a keen interest in good lit­erary work among its members, some of whom are especially talented in that line. The musical nembers of the program are al­ways appreciated by all present. The meetings of the Sirius Society are held in the Normal Society Hall, they are open to the public and everyone is welcome at any time. CLIONEAN Two very entertaining programs were rendered by the Clionean Society during Feb­ruary; one on the ninth, the other on the twenty-third. One of the most enjoyable features of these programs was its musical numbers, which were well given. It also had some very good essays on current topics of the day and the lives of some of our greatest American citizens. Y. W. C. A. The Young Women's Christian Associa­tion has recently elected the following officers for the coming year: Minnie LeSourd, Presi­dent; Ada Myers, Vice-President; Olive Kale, Secretary; Gladys Patric, Treasurer. The work of the new year is beginning with greater vigor and strength than has ever before been known. Many of the girls en­tering this semester have joined our ranks and promise to be most helpful workers. The two Bible classes, taught by Miss Sperry and Miss Gray are well attended and their effect is noticed in the spirit and the in­creased interest in the devotional meetings. "On to Gearhart!" is the motto of the association. Delegates from the association ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 19 ---------- The Normal Messener 19 of all the normal schools and colleges of the northwest will meet, next August, in a summer conference held at Gearhart, Oregon, a beautiful summer resort on the Pacific ocean. Girls attending this conference will not only have a delightful outing on the shores of the grand Pacific, but they will also have the opportunity of meeting and mingling with the college girls from other instutions. The afternoons are entirely devoted to sports and recreations of all kinds and college spirit reigns supreme. Our Normal school must be well represented. We expect to send at least ten delegates, a number which is equal to that of any other institution in the state. This conference will also afford a most excellent opportunity to hear several of the National Secretaries and many other promi­nent Christian workers of the day. Miss Helen Barnes and Miss Margaret Kyle, two of the National Student Secretaries who have visited our school, will be present, and to those who met them here, no greater induce­ment could be offered to go than to listen again to these charming Christian women. We are soon expecting a visit from Miss Gage, the state secretary recently appointed by the state committee. ALKASIAH The Alkasiah was organized for the pur­pose of self-improvement and they have set for themselves very high ideals which they constantly work to obtain. Their programs are spicy and brief, and you need only to listen to some of their magazine reviews to see they are an earnest set of young ladies wish­ing to be well informed on the leading ques­tions of the day. They have not neglected the social side, and at the beginning of the new semester they entertained the Boy's Debating Club in Soci­ety Hall. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 20 ---------- 20 The Normal Messenger The literary meetings are held in Miss Baker's or Miss Moore's room and visitors at any time will be gladly welcomed. ATHLETICS The most exciting basket ball game of the season occurred Saturday, February 24, between the Sumas team and the Normal team. Excitement ran high before the game as the previous game played at Sumas was a tie. The line-up of the teams was the same as before, and each side went into the game with a determination to win. At the end of the first half the score stood four to four. During the first part of the sec­ond half the Sumas team gained considerably, with the score standing ten to six in their fa­vor. But the Normal team soon showed their superiority and when time was called we were two points ahead, the score being ten to twelve. After the game a program was given in the Society Hall. The last of a series of games between the High School and the Normal, was played February 9, which resulted in a score of thir­teen to fourteen in favor of the Normal boys. The line-up was as follows: ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 21 ---------- The Normal Messenger 21 Normal High School Goodell Center Grue Petheram Forwards F.

The Juniors defeating the Third Years sixteen to two and the Seniors vs. the Second Years eleven to eight. The above picture is that of the Juniors who played in the last game between the Juniors and Third Years. IS THE NORMAL THE PLACE FOR A YOUNG MAN? Is the Normal the place for a young man? Many would answer this in the negative. They believe that the mild and gentle nature of woman is better adapted to deal with wavward youths and maidens than the stern and harsh attitude of most men, until they reach the university or some other higher school of learning than the high school. They forget that hardly 25 per cent of our population would never get the noble and wholesome influence of man's stronger na­ture. Impressions made on the mind and character of the child are lasting and vital to the future happiness or woe of the grown-up man or woman. We admire the fully round­ed- out person, the well-balanced man. Yet let these characteristics, which seem so re­pugnant to us, be disseminated in the right proportion in the opposite sex—then behold the ideal man and woman, the true Ameri­can. Thus I believe we are needed, boys, in the ranks of the teaching profession as much as in any of the great pursuits of life. One lamentable fact is the value the public puts on the teacher's labor—there is hardly a known trade, even, which pays its incum­bents less wages than does the teaching pro- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 22 ---------- 22 The Normal Messenger fession. It is principally for this reason that few young men plan to make a life's business of teaching. However, our state is not so bad in this respect as some other states in the union. The average wages paid to male teachers in this state for the year ending in June, 1905, were $62.83 according to the statistics gathered by the Superintendent of Public Instruction. The Normal, besides being a training school for teachers, offers many opportunities which no other school can, to persons who have not found their vocation in life. No pro­fession demands a broader and more exhaust­ive preparation than does the teaching pro­fession. So in a Normal school nearly every avenue of activity must be touched upon and its underlying principles mastered for latter use in the school room. In one department alone they have a dozen different avenues opened up to them. For instance, in the science department is suggested to them the rudiments of all kinds of scientifical experi­ments and adventures known to the chemist, physiologist, botanist, civil and electrical engineer, weather prophet, farmer, black­smith, mechanic and others. In this way such persons have an opportunity to choose the occupation best suited to their nature, besides attaining a liberal education which they never would have gotten had they taken up their specialty first. Not only this, but in the practice teaching they have had an excel­lent chance to study human nature which will be of unbounded use to them if they en­ter the business world. C.D.J.

EDWARD T. MATHES President Belli ngh am State Normal School ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page [3] ---------- PRESIDENT EDWARD T. MATHES, PH. D. An Appreciation. "The modern majesty consists in work. What a man does is his greatest monument." When the Whatcom Normal School was called into existence in 1899 ft chose for its administrative head Dr. Edward T. Mathes, who then occupied the chair of history in the Lewiston Normal in Idaho. The choice was a wise one, for the school has prospered won­derfully under his far-sighted and conscien­tious management. It stands unique as the only institution of the kind in the State that has had but the one president during its ex­istence. This one fact speaks plainly for his power as an organizer and executive. Other positions—some, where the remu­neration was great—have been tendered Dr. Mathes, but he has been faithful to the inter­ests of the Bellingham Normal School, for which he has spent all of his time and his best efforts ever since it took its place in the ranks of educational institutions. His breadth of scholarship, keen insight and resourceful­ness have been made evident during these years of service. By his business ability and judicious management of funds he has won the approval and confidence of the people, and hy his judgment in the choice of an able fac­ulty he has placed the standard of the school on a high and firm basis. To present in detail the many improve­ments that our president has helped to put through, and the many difficulties that he has helped the school to overcome, would fill a volume. We simply make note of a few of the material changes. In the spring of 1900 there were eight graduates from the advanced course; this spring there will be over forty. In 1900 the campus consisted of frog ponds, rocks and stumps; today there is not a more beautiful plot of ground to be found anywhere. Six years ago the training school was conducted in the basement of the main building. There was no annex, no gymnasium, no dormitory, no green-house, no cosy rest rooms and fac­ulty rooms, no society or Y. W. C. A. halls. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger and no auditorium; today all these speak for themselves. During these years several new departments have been added, much equip­ment purchased, and the faculty has increased from six members to twenty. During all this progress and change Dr. Mathes has been the guiding spirit—the ever-present and active factor. This is what the world in general sees of him, but his influence in another way has been as great, if not greater, because more subtle and far-reaching. His kindly nature, innate refinement and courteous manner can­not help having a deep effect upon all with whom he comes in daily contact. We, who have known him for five fruitful years, and are now about to pass out into the world, feel that we have learned from him lessons that shall never be forgotten—lessons that a less noble character, a less deep nature, could not have taught us. That he may remain indefinitely with the institution that he has done so much to es­tablish, and that his far-reaching influence may be felt here in the future as it has been in the past, are the sincere wishes of the class of '06. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Plate [b] ---------- THE BELUNOHAM STATE NORMAL SCHOOL ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Plate [c] ---------- FACULTY BELLINGHAM STATE NORMAL SCHOOL ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page [5] ---------- FACULTY EDWARD T.

The Present Position of the Two Great Po­litical Parties of the United States in Re­lation to Contemporary Industrial Evo­lution. In the United States the constitutional problem has been superceded by the indus­trial problem. By constitutional problem is meant all questions which arose concerning the interpretation of the Constitution, the question of state sovereignty versus national sovereignty, that of adjustment of power be­tween state, questions concerning the politi­cal rights of individuals, etc. These were the great questions from the formation of the Con­stitution to the close of the Reconstruction Period. During this time we find evidences of the industrial problem in national and state legislation, but this kind of legislation was of secondary importance. People accepted the industrial system and conditions as they were. So far as there was any political consciousness it was usually of the Iaissez faire type, to allow industry to take its own course. In making this statement the writer is not un­mindful of the high protective tariff from 1816 to 1832, and that many of the constitutional questions found their motives in industrial in­terests. These were the evidences of the in­ception of a new political principle which was designed to supersede the Iaissez faire attitude of political parties toward industry. Until the spirit of sectionalization subordinated all other interests there was a growing ten­dency to promote prosperity within the lines of the existing industrial system. From the beginning of the Civil War until the present moment this principle has been adopted and strengthened by the government with one ad­ministration as a possible exception. During the last decade another political attitude has been introduced which may be stated as fol­lows: That although the government as a rule may not interfere with the economic con­ditions of the country, there are exceptions which must be recognized and dealth with whenever industry becomes destructive of ethical ends. The Civil War settled the great question of sectionalism versus nationalization. The ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 7 ---------- The Normal Messenger old Puritan and Cavalier elements were de­stroyed and absorbed—destroyed by the losses of the war, absorbed by the new civili­zation of the West. The planters of the South lost their plantation life, and large numbers from New England joined the increasing Western exodus. The South began life over again on a new basis, the North turned its at­tention to the industrial conquest of a virgin country, rich in material resources. The field was now clear for developing the West. Concomitantly with this renewed Western movement, and closely associated with it, was the beginning of our modern in­dustrial system in the United States. In order to successfully subdue the West, railroads must be built. With the assistance of the Na­tional Government two great corporations were able to complete the Pacific Railroad (1869). The road opened up a great central region for settlement. The same enterprising spirit which opened up the West undertook the task of developing great industrial plants. Since 1870, until within the last ten years, no function of the State in relation to industry has been recognized by the party of the ad­ministration except that of fostering the growth of industry and clearing the way for unlimited competition, international as well as domestic. The industrial interest has become the dominant factor in our civilization since the Civil War. So strong and intensified has this interest become that the great man may appear, if he appears at all, as a captain of in­dustry. Just how far the development of our present industrial system is the result of po­litical activities based upon accepted party principles is a difficult question. It is safe to say that our present time would be known as a time of intense industrial activity, regard­less of industrial patronage by the Govern­ment. On the other hand, without Govern­ment assistance, the huge industrial corpora­tions and trusts would have been materially delayed in their development. Since i860 the Republican party has been the strong party of the administration, with the one exception of the Cleveland adminis­trations, just as the Democratic party was the administration party from Jackson's adminis­tration to i860, with the exceptions of the terms from 1840 to 1844 a n d from l%4 to 1852. Since Grant's administration until 1896 the Democratic party has been the strong party of the opposition. But the elections of ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Normal Messengei 1896 and 1900, and especially that of 1904, bear witness that the Democratic party has suffered disintegration. In viewing the his­tory of these two parties since the Civil War, two questions are presented. First, why has the Republican party rather than the Demo­cratic party been the party of the administra­tion? Second, why has the Democratic party ceased to be the strong party of the oppo­sition ? In comparing the chief tenets of both par­ties a few general distinctions may be noted. The Democratic party has usually pursued a restrictive policy in relation to commercial and manufacturing group interests, while on the other hand it has stood zealously for the greatest possible political rights of the citizen. The Republican party, while not restricting the political rights and freedom of citizens, has made material well-being of this or that large industrial group the object of its first interest. The Democratic party has taken the merely negative position of advocating just balance and indiscrimination among all indus­trial group interests. It has not favored measures which would help any or all of these interests. In its zeal for the individual, and in the spirit of giving all sections of the country a square deal, its principles supported measures detri­mental to the large industrial interests. The assumption of the Democratic party has been that the industrial interests of our country stand in opposition to the people, while the Republican party has identified the interests -of the people with those of industry. If it is true that industrial interest dominates over all social interests, then we cannot get away from this interest, and it is futile for any party to attempt to rule apart from it. The Republican party, organized to pre­serve the Union, has still continued to re-en­force these principles, which make for national centralization. In recognizing the controlling forces of society, it has come to place a loose construction upon certain portions of the Constitution, the letter of which seems to be in opposition to the best interests of society. A new meaning has come to be attached to the social order of the present. In so far as we have a new order, just so far the Consti­tution has become inadequate as a political guide. To a certain extent this fact is recog­nized by both parties, but the Republican party seems to lead in responding isympa- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 thetically to the existing social order. Some of these responses are embodied in the mainte­nance of high protective tariff, a strong and efficient navy, in an established standard unit of exchange used by all great nations, in a consciousness of the part to be taken by the United States in the role of nations, and finally in active support given to imperialism beyond, which had long been in operation in developing the West. All these measures have been and are powerful factors in shaping our industrial regime. The industrial group has appropriated the patronage of the Govern­ment through the agency of the Republican party. By patronage is meant a full recogni­tion of the services of industry. While the Republican party recognizes the services of industry, it has not lost sight of its duties. In these later days this party has entered upon a vigorous policy of restriction, such restriction, however, that the ends of in­dustry may be realized. Its restrictions are positive rather than negative. As, for exam­ple, it has sought to check the power of trusts to the end of keeping open the doors of competition. Such interference is anti-Social­istic, and is entirely in harmony with the prin­ciples of English political economy, upon which our industrial system is based. We are living in an era which presents its own peculiar problems, and if these problems are to be solved at all, they must be subjected to the principles and forces of this era. Be­cause the Democratic party has failed to gain this insight, because its members have only partially realized that we have passed out of a period distinguished by its constitutional questions into another dominated by indus­trial problems, it has failed to be reinstated into power. This party suffered disintegration be­cause it has ceased to have the necessary posi­tive and constructive principles of an oppo­nent. We are in a great industrial period; the state, the church and the school are pro­foundly altered by its spirit. The question is not how shall we annihilate it, let it alone, or revive the good old days, but how shall we give this interest the fullest expression, how shall we work in and through it to the end of complete living? ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page [10] ---------- THE NORMAL MESSENGER Published Monthly by the Students of THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Press of EDSON IRISH, 1311 Railroad Ave. EDITORIAL STAFF NELLIE C.

About the first thing a person notices when visiting a school is the spirit shown in affairs not directly connected with school studies, as well as in the work. There are two classes of students, the "book worm," never taking in­terest in anything but books and getting good grades. As a general rule this person is not a favorite with his schoolmates. When he does talk it is about "shop," and people know just what he is going to say before he says a word. When some project is proposed which does not bear directly upon his work he hasn't time or energy. What has the future in store for this kind of a student? He knows his profession, probably, but lacks enthusiasm. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger 11 and vitality, which would make his work a rousing success. Most of his time has been spent in study, and when he begins to apply it he finds that if he cannot enter into the right atmosphere or use tact when dealing with people around him, he is stranded. We find that they are the ones who have not learned how to adapt themselves to social en­vironment. Look at the person who is alive to every­thing around him. He is well up in his work, for when he studies he puts forth the same en­thusiasm and vim which he uses in other re­lations. When he is called upon to pass judg­ment on propositions he is broad-minded and level-headed, looking at it from all sides. This is the typical American who rises to promi­nence, trusted and admired by all. We point with pride to our President, Theodore Roose­velt, who, a leader among men, did not gain his knowledge from books, although he is a college-bred man, but from his experiences with man. This spirit is so predominant that it must have vent in some direction. We find it in contests of different kinds, oratorical, debat­ing, dramatic, musical, in class affairs, etc. This is where the true and false spirit is surely-brought to light, and clash if not backed by broad, kindly personalities. Without strug­gle there would be no progress, so in acquir­ing knowledge it must enter. The survival of the fittest is not more evident any place than in school. The struggle should be psych­ical, not physical (except in athletic meets). That class that can outdo the others in ear­nest, kindly enthusiasm, as well as in schol­arship, is the one which leaves its strongest mark on the Alma Mater. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger CLASS OFFICERS.

Although it boasts of but twenty-six members, yet these have made the class re­nowned because of their abilities shown in their regular school work and society work, as well as in athletic sports. Yet they are withal probably the most modest class in the institution. They also know how to enjoy life, and have had many good times. A marked instance of this was ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 18 ---------- 18 The Normal Messenger seen in their "Colonial Party," where the dress was one of colonial days. Colonial refresh­ments were served—cider and doughnuts. The event was declared by all as one long to be remembered by those who participated. Another distinction marks this class. They have that which not even the seniors can boast of, "just one boy." THE FIRST YEARS. Class Yells. Who are, who are, who are we? We are First Years, Don't you see? Are we loyal? Well, I guess.

The First Years have proven themselves a. class of ability, having done excellent work during the year, and will, in all probability, be ready to organize into a strong class of Second Years. Their organization has been character­ized by the class spirit and enthusiasm which has been shown at various times. One nota­bly, in which all classes took active part in class yells, was in the Y. W. C. A. reception: in honor of the National Secretary, Miss Mar­garet Kyle. Although they have not been prominent in public entertainment, which could not be expected of "Freshies," they have had their little social functions among them­selves as a class. Give them time and they will learn. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Plate [k] ---------- Names In order from left to right: SENIOR BASKET BALL TEAM Beatrice Benson, Lena Smith, Ethel Jones, Anah Gooch, Clara Wariner, Mildred Wilson ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 19 ---------- The Normal Messenger 19 ATHLETICS. Our record in athletics for the year 1905-6 shows, in part, how busy our athletes have been. Early in the year a number of our young men, with the earnest efforts of Mr. Lull, worked with "might and main" to get a football team, but all their efforts were of no avail, for, unless every boy turned out to practice it would be impossible to get two full teams. We have many "students" among our young men who prefer mental develop­ment to physical development, when the physical development means hard, earnest practice on the football field. However, if they couldn't play football they could play basket ball because it takes less men for prac­tice, and the victories gained the previous year were a great stimulus, so basket ball it was. During the season the "crack" team from the Normal defeated the "crack" team from the High School four different times. The work of the team showed that the practice had been faithful, their team work being ex­cellent. The girls were not idle all this time, as the usual Kline cup contest was held. The games were played on alternating Friday nights, beginning December 16. Every class was well represented by an able-bodied team that did creditable work. The returns for the final game, which was played April 20, were given to the San Fran­cisco relief fund. As soon as the weather permitted the boys were again busy, this time their attention be­ing given to baseball. The two games played so far were with the Bellingham Bay Busi­ness College and the South Side High School, both resulting in victories for the Normal. Tennis. We are at last to have a tennis court. For a long time we have been dreaming; at last -we have awakened, and our tennis court is a thing of the present rather than a thing of the future. It is to be of cinders, well packed and rolled, which promises that it will be one that we can use "in any kind of weather." We would rather have changed the posi- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 20 ---------- 20 The Normal Messenger tion of the court, but from the manner of the board, who so kindly gave us $50 to help us along, we concluded that they did not care to have it moved. We preferred to have a court even in its present inconvenient position to no court at all. We decided that it would be bet­ter to make this one permanent. I am sure we all appreciate the generous gift of the board, and we sincerely hope that the enthu­siasm manifested by the Athletic Association of this year will not be allowed to wane in the following years. SENIOR CLASS SONG. You see us here in bright array, In all glory we stand so fair; We have passed the door, and you cannot see us more, For soon is commencement day. The time has now come when with you we must part, And among new friends must go. Whatever we do we will think of you, Still in the Normal School. Chorus. We are grave and reverend Seniors, And a mighty class are we; We now are going to leave you That Seniors you may be. O do not be discouraged When trouble comes your way; Just think of '06 Seniors, And you will win the day. We've labored long in Normal School That good teachers we all might be; We have all been in sight, for we cast a bright light O'er all under classmen here. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 21 ---------- The Normal Messenger 21 The path now is clear which you must trod, That in our places you may stand. Then do what you must and place your trust In the good old Normal School. Chorus. We've climbed the path of learning's lore, And the midnight oil we've burned; We know how to educate the heathen Chinee, And for Browning we've ever yearned. The swamps and ponds have been deeply bored By our probings and eloquent words, But we'll never forget that we owe a debt To those who with aid have turned. Chorus. We wish to thank our instructors esteemed For their patience, time, and care; You have helped us more than we can tell, By your kindness good and rare. And if we've ever ungrateful seemed We ask your pardon now, In our last address to the B. N. S.— May good fortune thee endow. Chorus. J. E. SOCIETIES. At the beginning of the school year in 1904 all the then existing societies in the in­stitution were disbanded by order of the fac­ulty. The school was then divided into two sections, A and B. These sections met and organized, taking the names, Sirius and Cle-onian Literary Societies. At the beginning of th'e present school year it was decided that the large membership of each seemed to choke the growth of the two societies, and members were allowed to with­draw from each to form new societies. The parent societies went bravely on, and the new societies are thriving. Thus grew up the Thespian, the Alkisiah and the Boys' Debat­ing Club. Clionean Society. The Clionean Society received its name from Clio, the Muse of glorious deed. Our ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 22 ---------- 22 The Normal Messenger glorious deeds, however, have been few this year. But we have done our best, and the last semester we have been able to give many interesting and instructing programs. A very commendable feature of the pro­grams has been the declamations, all of high order, and delivered in a manner to reflect credit upon any society. The last program deserves special mention, as it was entirely musical, and proved that there still remains much talent and power in the Clionean So­ciety. Sirius. It is with pride that we speak of the Sirius Literary Society of the Normal. The secre­tary's book shows a membership of forty-nine, all of whom have shown an unusual willing­ness to co-operate with the officers of the so­ciety to make its work profitable as well as entertaining. The character of the work done has been of such a nature that each member has had an opportunity to work along the line most pleasing to him, or in which he wished to gain proficiency. Special mention might be made of the Thanksgiving and of the Riley programs. Thespian Dramatic Society. Every Friday afternoon about half past two a group of boys may be heard asking of one another and of passers-by in the halls, "Does Thespian meet this week?" If they learn that it does they all troop to the audito­rium, for, they say, "It is the best society in the school," adding, loyally, "except the Boys' Debating Club." The work at present is a study of the "Rivals," one act being given at each meet­ing. Every member of the society has taken part in the play, and each act has been re­ceived with great enthusiasm by members and visitors alike. The membership is limited to thirty in order that each member may have an oppor­tunity to do the work that she likes, for all the members are enthusiastic workers. Miss Hays has been our helper and critic through­out the year, and we owe her many thanks for her good advice, her kindness and her helpfulness. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 23 ---------- The Normal Messenger 23 Alkisiah. During the first quarter of this year there was founded the Alkisiah Club. In this club there was established the understanding that the club stood for honest work. There is no place in the club for anyone who is not a good worker and thinker. The limited member­ship and the character of the subject matter makes this fact self-evident. Such questions of the day as "juvenile Courts," "Monopo­lies," 'Elbert Hubbard," "W. C. T. U. Re­forms" and "Woman's Suffrage" have been interestingly and earnestly discussed. The subjects and assignments for each quarter are printed on folders for the mem­bers of the club. The folders for the first quarter of 1906-7 are nearly ready now, and the club will be prepared for strong work at the beginning of the year. Miss Baker is a member of the club, and has always some suggestions for improving the work or commendation and encourage­ment. At the last meeting she gave a very interesting and enthusiastic talk on "Reform Conventions." The name "Alkisiah" explains our atti­tude. We are looking to "the near future." Young Men's Debating Club. The Young Men's Debating Club ad­journed "sine die" Friday afternoon, May 18, for this school year. It is the purpose of the club to enter into some of the intercollegiate oratorical contests and debates next year if most of the boys who now expect to return carry out their inten­tions. The young men have had consider­able experience this year in all lines of oral expression, and they feel that with some spe­cial training they might win laurels for the "white and blue" in this direction. On this account it is said that the entrance require­ments into this society will be, in the future, stringent both as to ability and personal char­acteristics. Y. W. C. A. The Young Woman's Christian Associa­tion has had a very prosperous and success­ful year, and the prospects are bright for the coming year. Ten delegates will be sent to ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 24 ---------- 24 The Normal Messenger the convention at Gearhart, Oregon, a beau­tiful summer resort, and they are expected to come back in the fall full of enthusiasm and inspiration. The social as well as the more serious side of life has been well upheld by the young la­dies of the association. Besides the annual re­ception at the first of the year, there have been a number of smaller events. In May there was the May Day lawn party, which was well attended by students and friends of the institution, who were much pleased with the fan drill and the Japanese wedding. The association had charge of the reception given in the newly completed Y. M. C. A. building on ladies' day, May i9.th. This was one of the pleasantest events of the season. The Y. W. C. A. hopes for a large mem­bership next year. All new students are in­vited to attend its meetings and to become members. VACATION LESSONS. "Ope your doors and take me in, Spirit of the wood, Wash me clean of dust and din, Clothe me in your mood." In her letters Celia Thaxter recalls, kneel­ing as a child before the first green shoots of early spring, in a spirit of adoration. Her "Little Sandpiper and I" is blown through and through with the salt sea wind. Maurice Thompson, camping in the South­ern Woods, writes of shooting the rapids of a mountain stream, the fish hawks laughing derisively above him, and in the dim vistas of the forest glimpsing the "Threshold of the Gods." "Under the Willows" Lowell inter­prets for us the oriole's "Heave, Ho! Heave ho!" and the bobolink's "June, Dear June! Now God Be Praised for June!" These are not library books. They did not grow in the study, and he only can understand them who has learned to sense the world with the poets. Not until you see the varying tints of the hillside, the perfect curve of the sea gull's flight, the common completeness of the an­cient fir and the wild geranium that carpets the ground at its feet, hear the songs of the sparrows on the way to school, hear the key- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 25 ---------- The Normal Messenger 25 note in the wail of the mill saws and the fal­setto in the engine shriek, the varying under­tones in the different water-folk, smell the outdoors in sprinkling clean clothes, the odor of swelling buds in spring, the fragrance of dusk and dawn, have you learned to "mix your blood with sunshine." Once on a snowy morning the netted tracery of the leafless trees against a smoke-tinted sky was so beautiful that out of the fullness of my heart I drew a girl's attention to it. It was new to her. In all her walks to school she had never seen the pictures about her. For the majority of us the best part of the drawing and painting lessons is the new vis­ions they give us; the blues in the hills, the purples in the shadows, the curves of wave and beach, the perspective of road and forest vista, the curved pillars and grained ceilings of the "first temples," the velvet black of the fir foliage and pink flush in the young vine maple. Read Celia Thaxton's description of a Cal­ifornia poppy, and then see if you have the art­ist's eye for the dandelion bloom, or seed, for maple blooms, or the hemlock in May, or for any of the wonders near home. The vast majority are deaf as somnambu­lists to the music about us. They are blankly incredulous when you distinguish in hearing the song, the warning cry, or the friendly call of a bird. They smile when you speak of the keynote of a waterfall. They are intellect­ually deaf. To them the harmony of the spheres is a purely figurative expression. Just as there are living organisms beyond the sight of the unaided vision, so there are tones be­yond the hearing of the untrained ear. Since the microscope reveals communities in a drop of water, it is no wilder to dream that some­time a mechanism will make audible to us the full score of nature's harmonies in brooks and growing things which now we only hear in part. Your vacation study is to use these pow­ers of sense afresh upon the old world about you; to make friends with all lively things, and think. Then if you look and listen, love and think, one day you will awaken to a new -world, you will stand by your "burning bush," ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 26 ---------- 26 The Normal Messenger the wonder of the Infinite Life, and you will know that "God is not dumb that He should speak no more. :|e * * * * There towers the mountain of the voice Which whoso seeks shall find." J. A. BAKER. CHORAL CLUB NOTES. With the coming of spring, music natur­ally assumes its right and delightful place. So with the Normal Choral Club. Deep interest in its progress has been evinced by its mem­bers. Classical music of the very best has been practiced, and the club is now able to render very creditably such selections as "The May Song," known as the "Bridal Chorus" of Lohengrin; "The Pilgrim's Chorus," taken from Tannhauser; ''The Phantom Chorus," from La Somnambula, and many others. The club will furnish the music for com­mencement and Baccaulaureate, seated in the gallery of the auditorium. One of the features of the club's program was the trip to Lynden, made in wagonettes and tallyho. They left the Normal building at 2:30 Thursday afternoon, May 8, and after a jolly three hours' drive arrived at Lynden somewhat tired and very hungry. Their hun­ger appeased, they made for the Opera House and rendered a very delightful program. Two splendid readings were given by Miss Crocker and Mr. Goodell. Three vocal solos were ren­dered by Misses Vivian Fraser, Genevieve Stone and Frankie Sullivan in their own inim­itable style. One piano solo was given by the pianist, Miss Nellie Thompson, which was ex­ceptionally fine and was well received. The program was voted a grand success, its brev­ity being its only drawback. The home trip was made with singing and much good feeling. A similar trip to Friday Harbor is being planned for May 19. This-trip will be made by boat, and a royally good time is anticipated by every one. S.

DON'T DESPAIR because you have "nothing to wear" to the Senior reception. Your neighbor's wardrobe may supply your want. DON'T RING the door bell after 11:30 if you're locked out; the neighbors may take you in. DON'T BE DISTURBED upon coming home from a midnight spread if you find your room "To Let." Take your candle and mount the attic stairs. The trunk room is a fine place to store furniture. DON'T THINK your bed is an acrobat, and that it may walk off in the night because you find it on its back with a shoe on each leg. DON'T FEEL OBLIGED to sleep with a lt;lummy because you find it in your bed. DON'T FAINT when you find a dead mouse in your trunk. Many a mouse has led a strenuous life. DON'T GO TO BED hungry. Your key may unlock the pantry door. DON'T EAT but one piece of cake at lunch. DON'T GIVE but three orders for butter. The supply may be low. DON'T GET EXCITED. You'll be warned in time to chuck a few things under the couch before Dr. Mathes makes his an­nual visit. DON'T STUDY too hard. CLASS PROPHESY. To the Editor of The Messenger: Deem­ing that these notes from an old dairy might prove of interest to the class about to graduate from the Bellingham State Normal School, because they show what noted characters that institution has produced in the past, I submit the following: ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 28 ---------- 28 The Normal Messenger June 6, 1926—Just leaving planet moon on aerial motor "Etherinde." Bound for earth. June 8.—Over small town in State of Iowa. Looked out of the window and saw Belle Holt eatin' (Eaton) in a beautiful garden. June 9—Over Davenport, Washington. Chanced to look out of a window and saw Katherine McNeff in the center of a circle of handsome young farmers, at whom each in turn she was pointing a finger. Presently the words, "Eny, meny miney mo," floated to me, and I knew that she was choosing a husband. In the evening landed in Bellingham. As I heard the old familiar name, old memories stirred within me, and I was seized with a strong desire to learn the fate of all my former classmates. June 10—Went to city library, which I found to be in charge of Edna Waples and Lena Dodd. Consulted "Who Is Who in America." Looked first among the names of pedagogues to see how many of our class had remained loyal to an early ideal. Found that Elena Barker and Lillian Fogg have become noted as primary teachers. Both are teaching in that portion of Bellingham for­merly known as the suburb Tacoma. Ellen Graham has been elected to the po­sition of supervisor of the training department in B. S. N. S., where she spoils many good rods on unruly children. An old classmate, Minnie Osberg, is head of the English department in the same insti­tution. She quotes Browning by the hour, greatly to the edification of the young people under her charge. Lena Smith is engaged in teaching her husband's kinsmen in New Sweden. Mrs. Myers now occupies the honorable po­sition of judge of the supreme court of the United States. Floy Sullivan is travelling over all Europe and America demonstrating "Steeline," a new breakfast food manufactured at Battle Creek, Michigan, from pure steel filings. Beatrice Benson and Elva Krause were en­gaged in compiling a new International Speller (revised spelling), but both became discouraged before the work was completed. Copies of the unfinished work, I learned, may as yet be obtained at any second hand book store, though Helen Miller, the seer of the Northland, prophesies they will be bought at high prices as curios in a few years. Miss Benson accepted a position as inspector in the ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 29 ---------- The Normal Messenger 29- great "Northwestern Hand Laundry," and Miss Krause settled down in the eastern part of the State of Washington, where she makes a specialty of corn fritters. Luella Whitaker has won great literary fame. Her works are all ponderous and learned. Her last, "The Relation of the Early Normal Schools to the Modern Universities," comprises six volumes. The author will gladly send the above to anyone on receipt of name and a two-cent stamp for postage. Georgie Ellis has been admitted to the bar in the State of Washington. Christine Thiel has become a physician of no mean worth. She is often called across the continent to administer an anesthetic, or perform some slight surgical operation. May Strand, whose artistic ability in the old days caused all to marvel, is now num­bered among the world's artists. She has vis­ited Rome, Florence, Paris and Everson— world art centers—but failing to find there any inspiration, has returned to her old envi­ronment, the B. S. N. S., where she is now pursuing her work. Rosalie Rourke has for years been time­keeper and switchmaster in the Chicago switch yards. Pearl Smith is touring China and India as a famous lecturer on "Women's Rights." Nellie Thompson is now editor of the Northwestern Record. Subtle words of wis­dom flow from her pen. Through her edi­torials she wields much influence in political and intellectual circles. In her home at the foot of Mount Baker, while compiling "Fleming's Unabridged Dic­tionary," the great lexicographer, none other than Lottie Fleming, witnessed an eruption of Mount Baker. Though her house tilted to an angle of forty-five degrees, Lottie quickly ad­justed herself to this new position and contin­ued her coinage of words. The book is con­sidered as the standard of English language all over the world. Lillie Smith is now, and has for years, been a medical missionary in South Africa. After gaining all this information I thought 'twas time to go home. June II—Picked up the Ladies' Home Journal this morning. Was amazed to find among the list of regular contributors Bertha Manerman, author of "Pretty Girl Papers;" Ethel Jones, author of "Heart-to-Heart Talks With Girls;" Genevieve Stone, author of ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 30 ---------- 30 The Normal Messenger "Half-Hour Lessons in Music;" Tressie Flesher, author of "Hints on Cooking," and Selma Glineburg, sole author of the "Puzzle Page." June 12—Carrie Lewis called. She tells me that she manages to protect her house­hold from "dust and its dangers" by the use of the "Magnetic Clearter," her own invention, a machine which, when placed in a room, at­tracts the dust from carpet, pictures, etc., without any scattering of dust particles. June 13—Elizabeth Williams called. She was very enthusiastic over "Cartilege Stretch­ers," a patent method used for making short people grow tall. Later I learned that she was the Western agent for the Cartilege Company, and Anna Wahlstrand was their Eastern agent. June 14—Picked up the Northwestern Record this morning. Almost the first words I saw were these: "International basket ball game won by America. Excellent plays made by Anah Gooch and Clara Warriner. Leonie Nohl a plucky umpire." My attention was next held by the following: "Tomorrow night, Jessie Scott Cowing in 'Two Hearts That Beat as One.' " June 15—Went to the play. In truth 'twas the Jessie of "Ingomar" fame who again ap­peared before the footlights. She was ably supported by a caste among which there was one voice that sounded strangely familiar. The voice was all by which I was able to rec­ognize Frank Sullivan. Many of our class­mates were present. Mildred Wilson had left her chickens, pigs and her husband at home, and with her seven children had walked a dis­tance of twenty miles to be present this even­ing. Judith Hawes, too, with her worthy hus­band, had ridden in an open wagon at night from their home, formerly known as Lynden, to be able to meet and greet again her class­mates. (She never minded long drives, any­way). While we were chatting after the play a bright young girl, flushed and excited, came forward and announced herself as Nettie Look. She had grown so I did not recognize her. She was very happy because she had just received word from Dr. Mathes that her diploma would be forwarded to her at once, as she was now old enough to be allowed to teach. June 16—Dreamed of Mary O'Laughlin ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 31 ---------- The Normal Messenger 31 last night, and the vision will not fade. I saw her as in reality I did see her but ten days ago, still wandering about among the craters and crevasses on the moon in search of the Perfect Man, the species, she tells me, being wholly non-existant on earth. ETHEL PEEK. May 4—We had a holiday and an excur­sion to Glacier. It was a beautiful trip, up among the foothills of Mount Baker, just seven miles from Maple Falls, and on the banks of the Nooksack River. Everyone en­joyed the day to the utmost, and we are all hoping the faculty will take us for another picnic in the near future. April 6—School closed for cold weather. Mr. R. goes to Tacoma. Bright Student—It was the stupidist class I ever saw in my life. There wasn't a single member in it who could define a verb. May 14—Guessing game in Browning class. Mr. Wilson thinks a few more "Stones" are needed to grind the Normal students. Mr. Bloyd and Miss Krausse have ac­cepted positions as teachers in Colfax for the ensuing year. Our best wishes go with the happy (?) pair. Job—What you are glad to get when look­ing for a situation.—Ex. School excused two hours early. Mr. R. goes to Tacoma. Loves laughs at locksmiths, especially when the locks are on the dormitory door. Mr. Stone, reading the placard, "Hear Woolley tonight," "O, I see Dr. Bowman is to lecture this evening." Miss L to Mr. S h—Who is the most popular young man in school? ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 32 ---------- 32 The Normal Messenger Mr. S h, stammering and blushing— Why—er—I really—I don't think you ought to ask me that question. Silently, one by one, in the infinite note­books of teachers, blossom the lovely zeros, forget-me-nots of the Seniors.—Ex. Mr. R. excuses class and goes to Tacoma. Life is real, life is earnest, And perhaps would be sublime, If it did not keep us busy Cramming Browning all the time. WOULDN'T IT BE AWFUL? If certain Seniors did not get called down in the library at least twice a week? If Mr. Lemmach, janitor, would permit the faculty to govern the school for awhile? If we didn't cover ten poems a week in Browning? If Mr. W didn't remind us daily that "Truth is within ourselves?" If we ever found anything on our nature study expeditions? Synonyms. Faculty—Peace preservers. Janitor—General manager. Societies—Physical tortures. Seniors—Noblest work of the faculty. Third years—Pushers. Second years—Dead heads. First years—Infants. Dr. Mathes—"Bring pencils and paper to class for an oral quiz on Thursday." Speaker in Assembly—The term "man" is generic and embraces woman. Saturday Mr. R. goes to Tacoma. Elva had a fountain pen, Its ink was black as jet, And every time she used the thing It leaked a quart, you bet. Heard at rehearsal—Ingomar must take the barbarians apart one at a time. The girls who played "Ingomar" in Ever-son report a full house. All Gaul is divided into three parts—Cheek, brass and nerve.—Ex. A. G.—Where's Mr. Romine? M. W— O, He's out of sight. Did you get your picture taken on the campus ? June 7—School out—Mr. R. off for Tacoma. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Plate [n] ---------- iliS I 4 ^nkrjw. "iNGOMAR," WHICH WAS GIVEN WITH GREAT SUCCESS BY THE SENIOR CLASS IN THE NORMAL AUDITORIUM, APRIL 27, 1906 ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 33 ---------- The Normal Messenger 33 THE WILL OF THE 'o6 CLASS. When in the course of human events it be­comes necessary for a class to. shuffle off the mortal coil of its Alma Mater, it is only seemly in justice to that Alma Mater to make due dis­posal of all possessions both real and fancied belonging to the deceased. Therefore be it remembered that we, the Senior Class of the Bellingham State Normal School in the State of Washington on the 4th of June in the year of our Lord Nineeteen Hundred and Six, do make our last will and testament in manner following: That is to say, We order and direct that all our just debts be paid with all convenient speed. We give and bequeath to Dr. Mathes, the sympathizer and peacemaker, all our troubles, to be held in trust by him and his heirs for­ever on condition that the aforesaid continues to be worthy of so noble a trust. Unto Mr. Eply, the just, we give and de­cree a stork farm together with the proper funds for maintainence of the same. To Mr. Lull, the afflicted one, robbed of his sleep and natural rest^ and compelled to pace the hard, cold floor "in the cold, gray dawn of the morning after," we give and be­queath a bottle of the world renounced Child Luller, compounded expecially for little Lulls, sterilized and guaranteed by Dr. B. S. N. S. Senior, M. D., D. D. S., P. H. D., etc. Be it further stated that unto the renouned Dr. of all scalp diseases and originator of the celebrated capillary system of hair reno­vation and repairing, we do give a round trip pass for two to Muckilteo, together with a sea­son ticket, also for two, to the Grand. In our goodness of heart, forseeing with our superior wisdom, future conditions, we give unto Mr. Stone, beloved by all Latin and Ger­man students, a pair of stilts to be used when his legs wear out. Also, to show our affec­tion, we do order that an automatic satirist be stationed at the renouned pedagogue's door for the express purpose of calling down loit­erers in the hall. To Mr. Wilson we will our Chinest essays and our superfluous individuality. Also a pair of stilts. Unto Mr. Romine in remembrance of the many weary hours he has whiled away with his witticisms, we give with all due respect, a ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 34 ---------- 34 The Normal Messenger beautiful specimen of the latest improved per­ambulator together with a vacuum cap which we hope he will use This cap is guaranteed to sprout hair on the toughest of scalps. No pain or money refunded. Unto Mr. Forest, the teller of tales, we lovingly tender an elegantly bound volume of Baron Munchausen. The cover done in lately improved fish scales. Be it recorded that unto the little Miller's daughter, the model for teachers and students, we bequeath a bench to take the place of the chair which she now occupies in the B. S. N. S. faculty. Unto Mabel, our singer of songs, we hesi­tatingly give in all good faith a broad, gold band to keep the solitaire from becoming lonesome. To Miss Hogle, who ever was our friend, we give a beautiful and instructive volume entitled, "How to Attract the Opposite Sex." This is one of our most precious possessions as we really need it ourselves. Miss Tallulah possesses all things of good repute, but one thing she lacks. This we give her, as we are about to die—a copy of basket ball rules to be used when needed. To Mrs. Smith our gift we bring—steady company. To the other Mabel, we give and bequeath for safe keeping our reputation in the library. Also a pair of goggles warranted not to break under fifty pounds pressure. Unto her friend of the office we give 50,- 000,000 copies of a pamphlet called "Rules of Conduct in the Office, Compiled Especially for Simple Freshmen." These to be distributed to all who wish to keep their self-respect. For this bequest we expect our names to be handed down to posterity as the emancipators of the B. S. N. S. Freshmen. To Miss Baker we give the right to vote, and a carefully trained parrot, warranted not to swear in the presence of ladies. To Miss Montgomery we give by law a fund for the maintenance of an orphans' home. We do affirm that unto Miss Sperry, lover of all literature of density and darkness, we give and bequeath a volume of poems written by Browning's successor. The title and con­tents of this volume still remain a mystery to the world, but we give it to Miss Sperry, con­fident that she will be able to solve the mys­tery. To Miss Horner we bequeath all our na- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 35 ---------- The Noraml Messenger 35 ture study experiments, with drawings of the same. For Miss Gray we have gone to much trou­ble and expense to obtain a certain catalogue before our demise. This catalogue is called "Loftus Brothers' System of Diamonds on Credit." To Mr. Parsons we give our everlasting good will forever. Lase, but not least, unto Mr. Lemmach we bequeath with joyous hearts an unventilated cell in Paradise. EXCHANGES. We have received many new exchanges this month. The Gitche Gumme is a very nicely ar­ranged paper. "Generally speaking, women are " "Yes, they are." "Are what?" "Generally speaking."—Exchange. The Tocsin is one of the best high school papers we receive. We welcome the Prospect in our exchange list. The Prospect is the paper of the State Normal at Plymouth, N. H. It gives us a breath of New England. Judging from nearly every paper we re­ceive, "advertising pays," as we saw it ex­pressed in the Mirror for April. The Maroon is especially to be commended for its exchange column. It's always there. Here are the sentiments of two schools: "Of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these: 'A test again.' "—Ex. "Of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these: 'I've flunked again.' " We couldn't get along without the Ever­green. The Kilikilik is a well ordered paper. It seems to have reached the "happy medium" of what a school paper ought to be. Wa-Wa, where is your exchange column? Fully as important as its title is a paper's post office address. It isn't interesting nor instructive to search through the ads. for this information. One day Johnny was naughty in school. The teacher, noticing his misbehavior, decided ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 36 ---------- S6 The tiormai Messenger that something must be done to stop it. Look­ing at him with stern reproof she said: "You just wait till I look in my notebook and I'll find out what to do with you."—Ex. The Mankatonian is a very welcome paper. We are interested in your poet. The Enterprise is short and sweet. The Spinster is the only paper of its kind that comes to us, therefore we prize it the more. ALUMNI NOTES. Unlike other schools of its standing, the Bellingham Normal has at present no organ­ized Alumni Association. This is unfortunate, as it makes it extremely difficult to get infor­mation concerning former graduates. What is there to prevent an organization of this sort ? Very few of the graduates go from the State of Washington to teach, and then this Normal claims the greater share of her students from this side of the mountains. In the future could not such an association be organized? Mr. Lynus A. Kibbe, '05, is still partaking of the waters of the Pyrian Spring at McMinn-ville College, MeMinnville, Oregon. Mr. Thomas Korstad, '01, was married during the Christmas holidays to Miss Julia Torgeson from the Eastern part of the State. Mrs. Lily Carter-Mayer, '03, is the mother of a fine daughter. Misses Charlotte Stewart and May Pill-man of last year's graduates are both teaching in Spokane. Misses Marie Wheeler, '05, and Annie Drummond, '05, are teaching in the city schools of Tacoma. Both have met with great success in their work. Miss Albra Paddock of the class of '05, is attending the University at Berkeley, Cali­fornia. Miss Ida Iverson, '03, is living at present with her sister, Mrs. Leque, at Stanwood, During the first part of the winter she studied art in California. Her sister, Anna Iverson, 01, is teaching in California. Harry Raymond, one of the two young men in the '05 class, is teaching the young idea how to shoot in Stanwood. He is very much liked there. Lucius A. Jones, '03, is principal of the school at Nooksack, Wash. He was the pro- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Plate [o] ---------- THREE VIEWS OF THE AUDITORIUM ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 37 ---------- The Normal Messenger 37 moter of a very successful lecture course in that community last winter. Marguerite Fleming, sister of Lottie Flem­ing, one of this year's graduates, is teaching at Georgetown, one of the suburbs of Seattle. It is rumored that Miss Elnore Derth, '03, and Effie Wheeler, '04, have resigned their present positions in the schools of Bellingham in order to accept a school of one. Ethel Birney, 'o5 gt;4, is teaching in Sedro- Woolley. Of the class of '05 not already mentioned, the following are teaching: Gertrude Ald-ridge at Oso; Susie Andrews, Bellingham, Sta­tion A; Elsie Anthon, Friday Harbor; Edith Austin, Clear Lake; Lilian Burke, Snohomish; Meda Carlson, Hartford; Stella Carlson, Rock Harbor; Grace Dickey, Edison; Grace Drake, Marysville; Mrs. C. H. Eldridge, Everett; Cas-sie Gifford, Arlington; Myrl Hays, Sedro- Woolley; Edna Hallock, Seattle; Adelaide Hanlein, Anacortes; Lissa Howlett, Belling­ham; Jessie Jameson, East Sound; Alice Kibbe, Pe Ell; Evalyn Kirkpatrick, Burling­ton ; Josie Little, Sedro-Woolley; Winnie Mc- Mullen, Auburn; Isabelle McRae, Everett; Violet Morgan, Carbonado; Nellie Roberts, Sunnyside; Nellie Ramsey, Ferndale; Bessie Service, Elberton; Ople Swank, Pullman; Myrtle Williams, Arlington; Birdie Winchell, Dunlap. Suddenly she sprang from her chair and threw her hands wildly into the air. "Eureka!" she cried; "thank heaven I have it at last," and she fainted to the floor. She had actually found the underlying thot in one of Brown­ing's poems. BELLINGHAM, WASH. Special Coarse for Teachers Duriof Sooner Write for particulars «*•%«•• College Building, Holly St., AUG.

JUNE-JULY, 1906 No. 8 THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR Th Normal School will open for its Eighth Annual Session on Tuesday morning, Septem­ber eleventh. The first day will be given over to the admission and classification of students, and the formal opening exercises will be held on Wednesday morning, Septem­ber twelfth. These opening exercises will in­clude a formal address and the usual an­nouncements relating to the organization of the work. In accordance with a resolution passed by the faculty last March the daily program for the coming year has been arranged so that there will be not less than four recitations per week in every subject offered. Under this plan several subjects that have been offered as two-hour per week subjects for one semes­ter will now be completed in one quarter. This will enable several members of the faculty to repeat certain courses each semes­ter, which will be of great advantage to ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 June-July - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger students who are unable to attend during the entire year. This plan will also enable stud­ents to concentrate their efforts upon a few studies rather than to carry a good number of subjects for a long time with only a limit­ed number of recitations in each per week. The daily program for the comming year is published in the new catalogue. It pro­vides eight periods of work for the day, one of them taking the place of the usual noon hour. Regular class work will begin at 8:30 o'clock in the morning and close for the day at 3:20 in the afternoon. There will be no laboratory courses continuing until 4 o'clock but the meetings of the critic teachers of the training department will be held on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 3:20 P. M. The general assembly of students and faculty will be held on Mondays and Wednes­days at 10 o'clock and at the same hour on Tuesdays and Thursdays the students will meet for chorus practice. The assembly hour on Fridays will be given to the students for their own use. OPPORTUNITIES FOR ACADEMIC WORK In past years every student who entered a state normal school in Washington has been been required to sign a pledge of intention to teach in the schools of the state, but last year the law was so changed t h a t any person who does not care to sign the "pledge of intention to teach" may enter the school for regular work by paying a tuition fee of ten dollars for each semester. Under this provision persons who find it more convenient to attend a Normal school than any other institution of higher learning, but who do not contemplate entering the profession of teaching, may avail themselves ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 June-July - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger 5 of these institutions and enroll for purely academic work. In this connection attention is called to the fact that the Normal schools offer superior instruction in many academic subjects, including elementary and advanced algebra, plane and solid geometry, Ancient and European history, English history, Ameri­can history, laboratory courses in physio­logy, neurology, botany, zoology, biology, physics, and chemistry, American and English literature, composition and rhetoric, Latin and German, geology and physical geography, psychology, sociology, m a n u a l training, drawing and classes in elective subjects as there is demand for them. The work offered in these subjects is thorough and has been accepted in many institutions of advanced learning. Young people who desire to take up work along these lines are invited to consider care­fully the opportunities offered by the State Normal schools. Students of mature prepar­ation will be granted the privilege of doing elective work under reasonable restrictions. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 June-July - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger DEATH OF MR. EMERSON E. WHITE TRUSTEE OF THE NORMAL SCHOOL On Wednesday morning, July 18th, at eleven o'clock, Mr. Emerson E. White, died of typhoid fever at the St. Joseph's hospital in this city. The death of Mr. White came as a great shock to faculty and students as well as to his many friends throughout the state, although it was generally known that he had not been well for some time. On last October Mr. White was appointed by Governor Albert E. Mead as a trustee of the Normal School. Being an educator of much valuable experience Mr. White was exceptionally well fitted to serve as a trustee of a State Normal School, and in all of his associations with the institution he mani­fested a keen interest in the welfare of the school and was always ready to give freely of his time and labor to perform the work of administration. Mr. White was taken away in the very prime of life and had a bright future before him in his profession. He came to Washing­ton about fifteen years ago, and soon after accepted a position as teacher in the What­com High School. Later he was made princi­pal of the High School, and in 1898 was elected superintendent of the city school system. These promotions are indicative of his ability both as a teacher and as a super­intendent. Three years ago he retired from educational work to enter the practice of law and had established a good practice at the time of his death. His law partner, Virgil Peringer speaks of him as follows: "He was a man of those ex­cellent traits that go to makeup a good char­acter. He always tried to inculcate into the minds of young men and women, especially, to live up to the highest standard in the line of integrity and morality. He was naturally gifted with executive ability, a man of com­manding presence, very careful and methodical in business affairs, and with all a good citizen." ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 June-July - Page 7 ---------- The Normal Messenger 7 AMONG OTHER INSTITUTIONS On the evening of commencement day Principal Mathes left for the east, and on the evening of June 13th delivered the annual alumni address before his Alma Mater, Heidel­berg University, at Tiffin, Ohio. While in the east he visited the State Normal Schools at Oxford, Ohio; Cedar Fall, Iowa; Winona, Minn, and Mankato, Minn. At each school a summer session was in progress and Dr. Mathes delivered an evening lecture before the faculty and students of each institution. At Cedar Falls, more than twelve hun­dred students were in attendance at the sum­mer session and over eleven hundred of them were present at the lecture. By request Dr. Mathes spoke upon the subject, "The Pacific Northwest" and the lecture was illustrated by more than one hundred lantern slides, se­lected from the collection made by Prof. Epley for our institution. The State Normal School at Cedar Falls is one of the largest in this country and has a very complete equip­ment. The state of Iowa has recently ap­propriated more than six hundred thousand dollars for the erection of buildings for her normal school. A recitation hall and a gym­nasium building, each costing one hundred thousand dollars, have just been completed and a large science hall is now in process of construction. Other buildings will be erected later and when all are completed Iowa ex­pects to have the most complete Normal School plant in the world. The State Normal School at Winona, Minn., is the oldest institution of its kind west of the Mississippi river and has long been recognized as one of the strongest Nor­mal Schools in the entire country. Dr. Irwin Shepard, now secretary of the N. E. A., was for twenty years its president. While visit­ing in Winona Dr. Mathes enjoyed a carriage ride through the beautiful avenues of the city ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 June-July - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Normal Messenger and along the banks of the Mississippi river as the guest of Dr. Shepard. The Normal School at Mankato has also been in active work for many years and enjoys a large at­tendance each year. The Normal School at Oxford, Ohio, is unique in that it is a department of Miami University. It maintains however a separate organization and conducts a complete sche­dule of classes for professional work but the academic work of all Normal School students is provided for in the regular classes of the University. The plan is apparently working out satisfactorily and is being watched with much interest by many educators. CLASS OF 1906 The members of the class of 1906 have secured positions as teachers for the coming year as follows: Lena Barker, Sumner; Ethel Birney, Bellingham; Lena Dodd, Kalama; Lottie Fleming, Maltby; Tressie Flesher, Bel­lingham; Lillian Fogg, Dayton; Selma Gline-berg, Granite Falls; Anah Gooch, Friday Harbor; Judith Hawes, near Snohomish; Elva Krausse, Colfax; Carrie Lewis, Plaza; Nettie Look, Aberdeen; Katherine McNeff, Davenport; Helen Miller, Sedro-Woolley; Minta A. Morgan, Bellingham; Leona Nohl, Seattle; Mary O'Loughlin, Dryad; Ethel Peek, Seattle; Pearl Peime, Friday Harbor; Rosa­lie Rourke, Edison; Floy Sullivan, Colfax; Frankie Sullivan, Supervisor of music, Olym-pia; Christine Thiel, Sumas; Nellie Thomp­son, Marysville; Anna Wahlstrand, Palouse; Lillian Smith, near Bellingham; May Strand, near Lynden; Edna Waples, near Lynden; Clara Warriner, Nooksack, Wash.; Luella Whitaker, Bellingham; Elizabeth Williams, Ballard. Miss Ethel Jones will remain at home one year before taking up the work of teaching, and Miss Beatrice Benson will ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 June-July - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 enter the State University. The other eight members of the class, not reported here, have not completed arrangements for the coming year, although nearly all of them have been offered positions as teachers. THE DINING HALL During the present vacation the Normal dining hall will receive a thorough renova­tion and several rooms will be newly papered and varnished. The great popularity of the hall this past year promises to continue the coming year. Practically every room has already been engaged and many who room in private homes have arranged to take their meals at the hall. However, fur­nished rooms in private homes may still be rented near the school and meals may be secured at the dining hall at the low price of $2.75 per week. The principal of the school will be glad to furnish full information regarding rooms and meals or requests in regard to the dining hall may be sent directly to the matron, Mrs. C. B. Branchard. ADDITIONAL TEACHER IN MANUAL TRAINING Manual training has been offered as a regular study in the Normal school for the past four years. During this time the work has been gradually extended through all courses in the Normal school and through the upper grades in the training department. This growth calls for additional teaching force, and at a special meeting of the Board of Trustees held on commencement day Miss Lulu Dawson, of Emporia, Kansas, was elected as assistant teacher in the department of Drawing and Manual Training. Miss Dawson is a graduate of the Kansas State Normal School and has completed a post- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 June-July - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Normal Messenger graduate course in manual training. During her graduate course she has had full charge of the manual training work in the grammar grades of the Kansas Normal Training school, and comes highly recommended as a teacher of manual training in the grades. THE PIANO DEPARTMENT At a meeting of the Board of Trustees, held last May, it was decided to establish a piano department in the Normal School. As the subject is not required in the regular courses of study, a tution fee will be charged for lessons in this department but the prices will be the lowest possible consistent with good instruction. The several pianos in the Nor­mal School will be available for practice and students who desire may enter for work in this department without taking other sub­jects in the Normal School. The announcement of the selection of a teacher for the department will be made in the August bulletin and at that time an out­line of the work to be offered may be given. PRIZE CONTESTS On the evening of June 1st the first of a new series of contests was held in the Normal School auditorium. This contest was in charge of the department of oral expression, and a good degree of interest was manifested. The First National Bank of Bellingham donated two cash prizes; one for excellence in declamation and one for excellence in debate. The prize in declamation was won by Miss Lucy Crocker of Tacoma, and the prize in debate by Mr. Fred Johnson of Skagit City. During the coming year it is anticipated that still greater interest will be shown in the contests as several additional prizes have ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 June-July - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger 11 recently been established. At a special meet­ing of the Board of Trustees held during commencement week the principal was authorized to announce that the Normal school will in the future offer an annual cash prize of forty dollars for the best effort in debate, and a second prize of twenty dollars for the second best effort in debate, A friend of the school also offers a cash prize of twenty-five dollars for excellence in oration or declamation. All of these prizes will be available during the coming school year under regulations prescribed by the faculty, and it is believed that the students will find great pleasure as well as take great interest in these contests. The scholarship offered annually by Whit­man collage to some member of the senior class was awarded for the year 1906 to Miss Luella Whitaker. Miss Whitaker has at­tended the Normal school for four years and has always maintained a high record both in character and scholarship. GENERAL NEWS Among the young men to remain for the summer session were Roger Williams, Andrew Anderson, Roy Goodell, Charles Jones and Raymond Montgomery and Noah Davenport. Miss Frankie Sullivan of the Class of '06 has had charge of the vocal music classes during the present summer session. Miss Sullivan has been elected supervisor of music in the city schools of Olympia for the coming year. The Normal School has recently received a very complete set of valuable aquaria. The equipment came as a gift from the state fish commissioner's office. Three of the large aquaria have been installed in the lecture room adjoining the greenhouse and several others have been placed in the biological lab- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 June-July - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger oratory. All have been provided with run­ning water and several of them are at present stocked with different varieties of fish from local waters. The gift is greatly appreciated by the friends and patrons of the institution. The fountain presented to the institution by the class of 1906 is being installed on the campus as the Messenger goes to press. The location selected for the gift is at right of the walk as one approaches the main building, and it will add greatly to the beauty of the campus. The fountain stands full six feet high and is surrounded by a cement basin seven feet in diameter. The custom of the graduating classes to present a gift to the institution each year as they leave its walls is a very pleasing one, and one that is greatly appreciated by all those interested in the growth and welfare of the school. The library fund is in such shape that it will be possible to place a large order of books for the library in the near future. The library is growing rapidly and is thus becoming more and more valuable in the daily work of the institution. On the evening of June 30th at the home of the bride's parents, Dr. Jacob N. Bowman, of the Normal School faculty, was united in marriage to Miss Edna Wilson, daughter of Prof. Washington Wilson, also a member of the Normal School faculty. Dr. and Mrs. Bowman have taken up their residence a t 511 High street, and will be at home to their friends after the first of September. After seven years of patient toil the Nor­mal School campus presents a beautiful ap­pearance. The entire lawn in front of the buildings has been seeded and is now covered with a beautiful green sward. The grass is kept mown short so that the entire front campus has the appearance of a well kept lawn. It is expected that that part of the ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 June-July - Page 13 ---------- The Normal Messenger 13 campus around the Normal dining hall will be dressed with good soil and seeded yet this year, which will complete the improvements begun some months ago. The present summer session of the Normal School has proven very successful. The at­tendance is twenty per sent greater this year than last, and the demand for instruction in regular Normal School work also shows a higher grade of scholarship than in former years. Among those enrolled are students from Missouri, Montana, Idaho and Wash­ington. Several students who have been in attendance during the entire year will receive certificates from the institution at the close of the summer session. This is the first year that a training department has been main­tained in connection with the summer term, and the results are very satisfactory. Pupils were received only in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades and thorough work in a few subjects has been insisted upon. The summer session has been in charge of Profs. J. T. For­rest, and he has been assisted by Prof. Romine, Wilson, Lull, Bowman, and Misses Hays, Sperry, Hogle and Sullivan. Mrs. Smith was in charge of the critic work in the training department. The new member of the Board of Trustees to succeed Mr. E. E. White, deceased, is Mr. F. F. Handschy of this city. The appoint­ment gives very general satisfaction, for Mr. Handschy has been a successful and popular business man in this community for the past fifteen years. For several years he was county treasurer, and at present he is cashier of the Bellingham National Bank. He has always taken an active interest in matters of civic concern, and will prove a valuable mem­ber on an educational board. The Normal School cultivates an interest in healthful athletic sports among its stu- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 June-July - Page 14 ---------- 14 The Normal Messenger dents. A series of basket ball games is con­ducted each winter among the teams of the various classes. These games are held on Fri­day evenings and all students are made wel­come. During the autumn, foot ball com­mands the interest of the young men, while in the spring tennis and base ball are favorite recreations. The gymnasium is well equipped for indoor exercises, having valuable ap­paratus, and is well adapted for public games, having good galleries for students or visitors The Normal School has received many calls for teachers which it has been unable to fill. Those who received diplomas and certifi­cates are all planning to teach during the coming year with few exceptions, but the de­mand still greatly exceeds the supply, and the teaching profession offers excellent oppor­tunities for young people who desire both fair remuneration and valuable experience as they enter life's work. The Normal School librarian, Miss Mabel Wilson, is spending her vacation in the libraries at the Leland Stanford University in California. The trip offers opportunity for both recreation and study of library methods. Three member of the Normal School faculty will explore Mt. Baker with the Mazamas. They are Miss Sperry, Miss Hays and Miss Montgomery. Prof. F. W. Eply has been teaching classes in physics during the present summer session at the University of Washington. The records of the Normal School show that ninety-three different students have re­ceived papers from the instution during the present year. Of these, 43 received diplomas; 30 received secondary certificates, and 20 received elementary certificates. These ninety-three students constitute almost one-third of ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 June-July - Page 15 ---------- The Normal Messenger 15 the entire student-body for the year, which speaks exceedingly well for the character of scholarship of the the students in general. Several member of the faculty are planning a trip into the Slate Creek region. The party will include Prof. Forrest, Prof. Eply, Prof. Lull, Prin. Mathes, and possibly one or two other members. Each person will carry his own equipment and supplies, and the rule has been established that everyone must sleep out-of-doors during the entire tramp. A large order of supplies has been placed for the opening of the next school year. These include mostly materials for daily use, as there will be few changes in text books for the coming semester. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 June-July - Page [vi] ---------- ADVERTISEMENTS HAVE YOU SEEN KERNS' NEW STORE Since they moved to 105 West Holly Street?

GLOVER BLOCK ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 December - Page [1] ---------- THE NORMAL MESSENGER DECEMBER, 1906 SOME MEDITATIONS ON JOB. When or by whom this masterpiece of He­brew literature was written and whether such a person as Job ever lived are questions for­eign to the purpose and scope of this article. The writer is not moved to make this contri­bution because he thinks that he has anything new to offer on the subject, for Job has in­spired many volumes of erudite and profound exegeses, or because he believes that he is af­flicted in a manner like unto that of Job. The author of the book of Job, like all great authors, has not only presented in vivid and artistic form a leading conception in the thought and the spirit of his race, but in that spirit he has seen the birth of a new concep­tion and its conflict with the old. He was interpreter and prophet of his time. The old, the traditional, the accepted is represented in the arguments of Job's comforters, the pas­sage to the new in the heroic struggles of Job and in his final justification. The problem of the entire poem, aside from its prose prologue, hinges upon the argument of the question, why should the innocent suf­fer? The tradition answer to this question was that punishment or suffering was but retribu­tion to the sins of Israel. "Remember, I pray thee, who ever perish­ed, being innocent?" "Or where were the upright cut off?" "According as I have seen, they that plow iniquity," ' "And sow trouble, reap the same." "By the breath of God they perish," "And by the blast of his anger they are con­sumed. ' ' This traditional view made the Almighty strictly a being of justice. According to the understanding of Job's comforters he or his forebears had sinned and this was the cause of his affliction. The only means of expiation was to be found in absolute humiliation before God. "Behold, He putteth no trust in His ser­vants"; ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 December - Page 2 ---------- 2 The Normal Messenger "And His angels He chargeth with folly"; "How much more them that dwell in houses of clay," "Whose foundation is in the dust," "Which are crushed before the moth." "Betwixt morning and evening they are de­stroyed," etc. This "I-am-a-worm-in-the-dust, tramp-upon-me" point of view was and still is a typical Oriental attitude. One must renounce his in­dividuality, his self-integrity, as preparation for his absorption into Nirvana. There was something of this self-abasement evident in the ascetic practices of the Christian church during the Dark Ages. Such heroes as Job helped to save Hebraism from being absorbed into the spirit of the other Oriental religions of the time. The attitude of Job was like that of his comforters in that he conceived God to be the one Omnipotent and Omniscient Being and Creator, who giveth all things and taketh away all things. His at­titude was like that of his comforters in con­ceiving his duty to lie in the service of the Almighty, in trusting Him and obeying .Him. But unlike his comforters, he did not fear God. He would trust Him, serve Him, but to fear Him would be to lose his own self-respect. He must see clearly his relationship to the Al­mighty. To commit himself blindly into the hands of God that he might be healed and es­cape the pangs of his malady would be an act directed under a motive of cowardly fear, would be a loss of self integrity. His com­forters accuse him of assuming an attitude of self-righteousness. "For thou say est my doctrine is pure," "And I am clean in thine eyes." To them self-integrity in the presence of the Ajlmighty had no meaning. But in the pres­ence of this same awe-inspiring being which caused his friends to quake with fear, Job chose to maintain his integrity and assert his moral dignity. "Surely I would speak to the Almighty," "And I desire to reason with God." "Withdraw thy hand far from me"; "And let not thy terror make me afraid"; Then call Thou, and I will answer"; "Or let me speak, and answer thou me." Job did not declare his perfect innocence, but at all times asserts his right to use his reason. He confronts an overpowering fate and finds grounds for it in the works of the ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 December - Plate [a] ---------- JOHN TURNER • PRESIDENT FRESHMAN CLASS ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 December - Page 3 ---------- The Normal Messenger 3 Almighty. But he would battle with fate. He finds his consolation not in the words of his would-be comforters, but in his own inner moral worth. To himself he must first be true before he can rightly serve the Almighty. He accepts a wonderful, mighty, providential God, worthy of our trust and love, but not of our fear, for to fear God would only degrade our conception of Him. Job passes from a condition of blind faith through alternating periods of doubt and strength into one of clearer insight and a more reasonable faith. Only brave and courageous souls are fit for the vision. The revelation came to Job because his integrity required it. In refusing to transgress his own worth he dignified the Almighty. Through his insist­ence upon personal worth, human relationship between man and God was ennobled and raised to a plane much beyond that of contemporary religions. In Job Hebraism reached its high-water mark. H. G. LULL. THE KLONDIKE MILLIONAIRE. He's a dough of early days In both style and many ways, And you'd spot him out for that most any­where ; He's bound for warmer climes, Aiid thinks, for hotter times, For soon he'll be a Klondike millionaire. When outside land he spies, Everything he sees he buys, Prom five-cent beers to wines so old and rare; That ere the week is past, He doubts if it will last, To play the sporty Klondike millionaire. He travels o'er the land In an auto great and grand, Like a wild tornado out upon a tear. He takes in all the towns, Has his little ups and downs, Just like any other common millionaire. One day a town took him; Of course the past was dim; But on waking up he found that he was there; He thought that he saw stars, But discovered it was bars, Just because he was a Klondike millionaire. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 December - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger After that luck wasn't his, For all folks mixed in his biz; And the big fat eops would look at him and stare. As his funds were running low, Times were getting kind of slow, So he dropped the nom de plume of mil­lionaire. His thoughts were turned to home; No longer would he roam; But bravely to the Klondike bum his fare. The work was pretty rough And he found it mighty tough After having been a Klondike millionaire. Now, the fellow's not to blame For his high and mighty name, As he didn't try to peddle out hot air; But cheeehakos always think A Klondiker has the chink, So just simply dub him Klondike millionaire. MARIE ODEGAARD. ICELAND. Iceland, the largest island of Europe except Great Britain, lies on the edge of the temper­ate belt, with the waves of the Arctic Ocean breaking against its northern shores. The seasons are wet and stormy, and the summers are short, so the agriculture is carried on with difficulty. The leading products are sheep, cattle, horses, salmon from the rivers, and fish from the coasts; wool, whale oil, eider ducksdown, and butter, hay and vegetables. The longest days in Iceland are twenty-four hours in the northern part of the country. This accounts for a greater vegetation than one might expect for the latitude of the island. It is most fascinating to watch the midnight sun in the spring; also the splendor of the Northern Lights in winter. One could not easily forget such a marvelous beauty of na­ture. The coastline is very irregular, thus afford­ing fine harbors. The island was formed by some volcanic eruption beneath the level of the sea, then glaciated and drowned. There are magnificent fiords as in Norway, surrounded by majestic mountains, at whose feet the pic­turesque farmhouses stand, built of Norway timber, surrounded by their lawns, called ' ' t u n ." ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 December - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger 5 The people are largely distributed along the coasts and in the valleys between the moun­tains. A considerable amount of fishing is carried on along the coasts, and the sea about Iceland is much frequented by fishermen from Western Europe. Regkjavik is the capital and largest city, in­habitants about eight thousand, and is, togeth­er with some other small towns along the coast, a shipping port for the fish, which are sent to all parts of the globe. I have even seen Icelandic herring in The Fair store in Belling-ham, Wash. Iceland possesses a wealth of historic lore and natural beauty, and there are few coun­tries in the world in which such great variety of scenery can be found within a compass so limited, for from peak to sea, from pasture to desert, from ice to lava, is often a transition for which an hour easily suffices. ELLA J. PETERSON. THE STUDENT'S LOT. How hard the Normal students' lot, How weary is our way, So many a Hays obscures our path, So oft our sky is Gray. Oft in some Forrest we are lost And wander there alone, And when we look for easier paths We run against a Stone. And when we to the Baker go And humbly ask for bread, We're given unknown quantities Of roots and things, instead. For Manual Training we have sought But found it but a myth, Though to the Carpenter we've been, The Miller and the Smith. And if there sometimes comes a Lull "Ks nosier than before, And when we think our work is done Still there is always Moore. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 December - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger THE NORMAL MESSENGER Published Monthly by the Students of THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Press of S.

Issued the 30th of every month. All copy must be in the hands of the Editor-in-Chief on or before the 20th of the month. Entered December ai, 1903, at Bellingham, Washington, as second-class matter, under Act of Congress of March 3,1879. Vol. VI. DECEMBER, 1906 No. 3 ERITORIAL. We first and second-year students, while perhaps ignored by the Seniors, feel that our place in the school is of some importance, and we wish to say a few words in our own behalf. These first years of the course are the founda­tion of our future work and lives, and we want to make them count. We came here filled with enthusiasm and zeal, prepared to do a year of good, hard work; we felt that every moment should be spent in study, consequently our class organizations were somewhat neglected for a time. However, they are in good run­ning order now, and there is a feeling of mu­tual sympathy and friendship existing. We extend our heartiest Christmas greetings to the faculty and our fellow-students. The Entertainment Committee of the Fac­ulty has arranged a series of contests to be held next semester. They are to be in debate, declamation and essays, and are open to any student of the school, whose application is approved by the above-named committee. In each of the contests there will be two prizes: Debate, $40 and $20; Declamation, $25 and $15; Essay, $20 and $10. This announcement has brought forth a lively interest upon the ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 December - Page 7 ---------- The Normal Messenger 7 part of those who are in Miss (Hays' depart­ment, and among the members of the Debating Club, and as a consequence, it is hoped that there will be a stimulus which will develop many able speakers among the student body. "MORSE TERRIBILIS." Some die of baker's piecrust, A death that is most drear; Some gorge themselves with twisters, Until the end draws near; Some flunk examinations, Then lie upon the bier. But of all the rightful endings, The one that all most fear, Is the death from a Junior essay— Let us shed a quiet tear. LETTER TO SANTA. Bellingham, Wash., Dec. 14, 1906. Dear Santa Claus: It is nearly Christmas time and we are very lonely, so for fear you might forget us when you come to the Normal School, for we cannot make much of a demonstration, we thought we would write you and tell you some of our needs. Dear Santa, we know you are very busy, but if you knew how pitiful was our condition, your sympathies would surely warm toward us. It is very hard for us to make a show of spirit when we have none, so please send us a small degree of "spunk," or as the vulgar say, "grit," this Christmas—just a little, for we could not handle much. It is so hard to lift our heads in self-assurance in the presence of that august body, the Senior Glass, so please send us some of that useful commodity, con­ceit, for though we know we are utterly un­worthy, and have no reason to be egotistical, we would not that others should know it also. We can never hope to excel in any way, but if you could send us a capacity for doing any one thing well, be it little or big, it Would ad­vance our position materially in the school. We would like so much to win just one game of basketball. The Kline Cup we know is en­tirely beyond our possibilities—but we would love to experience the elation of victory just once, be it however small, so, Santa, won't you please send us a flashing, high jumping "cen­ter," and two fine, active "forwards," and at least one strong, watchful "guard." ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 December - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Normal Messenger It pushes us desperately to attain such rank in our studies as will give us a chance for a second examination, after flunking, and we have neither energy nor play left in us, and we are sore depressed. But if you think we are asking too much of you in a busy season, do at least give us our last urgent request—a small part of understanding, or in other words, "gumption," which would at least tell us when we were the butt of some horrid joke and save us from smiling blindly in ignorance of the general mirth. If we only had three or four class teachers we might be able to do some stunts that would amount to something. As it is, we have only two and they have almost exhausted their re­sources. We are beset on all sides by the great wit and wisdom of the Seniors, the strength of the lungs of the Third Years, the cheek of the Second Tears, and the inspiration and ridi­cule of the First Years, until we are disconso­late and dejected. So, Santa, in our great need, we write you, asking that you give us a little more of your attention than the other classes, for they have ability to help themselves, and we do perish for want of some kindness. Yours in earnest supplication, THE JUNIOR CLASS OF 1908, B. S. N. S. Why do certain members of the faculty take special pains to converse in loud tones with each other and with students in the halls f Is it merely to show their own independence of mind or to set a good example to the stu­dents and give visitors a favorable impression of the school f THE BASKETBALL GAMES. As They Appear to a Student. The casual visitor at our basketball games sees only one side of the situation. From the point of view of the spectator, he sees the game as it is, the efforts of the contesting teams, the score and the enthusiasm of the classes. But for the player there is more—the anx­ious waiting for her class standing, the hours of patient (?) practicing, and the class spirit within her urging her on to gain honor, not for herself but for her class; which, with banners ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 December - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 flying and homs blowing, appears at the games 'midst great excitement and hangs over the railings urging her on with encouraging words. 'Midst deafening cheers and a wild tumult, the Third Year girls met and practiced on the Freshmer November 9. Although the Fresh­men, with palpitating hearts and streaming brows, set forth every effort within their young bodies, they were defeated by their more ex­perienced rivals. This being the first game for the First Years, they were more or less timid about appearing before the throng as­sembled to witness their defeat. The same evening the gallant Seniors won from the Second Years. All the Seniors were there to witness their victory, and their stren­uous voices were heard above all the uproar. Peace reigned until the 23rd of November, when the second games were played. The Juniors and Fourth Years displayed their class rivalry, and although the Juniors were confident of winning, they did not realize how able their opponents were, and not until they were defeated did they acknowledge that the Fourth Years were their superiors. The other game of the evening was between the Seniors and First Years, and again the Seniors were victorious. Two weeks passed before Miss LeConte was again seen consulting with the different teach­ers, and the group of girls were in the halls trying to arrange new "line ups," etc. Friday night, December 14, the Second Years defeated the Third Years. The Second Years did good work, but the class of 1910 la­bored under a great disadvantage, only one of their regular players being permitted to play. This was the night that the Juniors, losing a game to the First Year team by a score of 9 to 3, were blue, discouraged, cross and ir­ritable. Never mind, Juniors, perhaps next time your adversaries will not be so strong. The Freshman knows not, and knows not that he knows not. The Sophomore knows not, but knows that he knows not. The Junior knows, but knows not that he knows. The Senior knows and knows that he knows ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 December - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Normal Messenger WHAT SANTA CLAUS BROUGHT SOME MEMBERS OF THE FACULTY.

A picture you would have me paint, In words which I may choose; Give all the tints of shades and sounds, Of form and life that there surrounds? My scanty sense of perfect tints Will scarce permit or lend me aid, To paint into a concrete whole The scene that now thrills thru my soul. Alone I sit on Sehome's brow As dewey eve draws on, just now, And at one glance, I can, perchance, Take in a picture grand; I now begin my paints to mix, And paint my picture as if fixt. For background, in the distance, then I scatter isles and sky, In haziness they then recede, Unite, grow dim, and die. Beneath these spectral, grayish hues, Which Ocean's mists have formed, I draw a line, tho indistinct, Along the nether side, To bound the bay where water play Thruout the livelong day. Shades manifold, of green and gold, Upon her ruffled surface play. To left there rise into the skies The islands' rough-bound forms; While, at their feet, a silver sheet Of sunlit waters lay, As if the welkin-way had dropt From heaven's dome overhead. To right, the bay's unevan stands Grow plainer, shows her whitened sands, Until the city breaks the views Of Nature's own, grand, gorgeous hues. And plants herself like some proud elf, Within my pictures too. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 December - Plate [b] ---------- A GROUP OF SECOND YEAR STUDENTS ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 December - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger 11 Serene and quiet, tho never still, As if pushed on by stubborn will, My brush into the foreground plays And shapes the wondrous bay, That mobile form, which e'er transforms At bidding of the wind. Upon her breast there lay at rest A dozen ships or more; Their spars are reft of sails that heft Each one upon the sea, Amd there they nestle close about The guardian anchor, strong and stout. In yonders left, far south of west; The sun in splendor sinks; His powerful light has lost its might And softened into gold— Ah, yes, and gold enriched by red, He sinks midst eve's caress As if to bid a last "good night," The heavens retain the richest light, And sifts it o'er her spacious dome, A signal she is left alone; She lingers, pales, pines and moans, "Alas, Today; good night, my own." And, now, my friend, my picture's done, So take it as its worth; 'Tis worth but naught, real art Is brot forth from The Artist's Hand; That Artist Hand hath shaped mere man, Endowed him somewhat, too, He sees real art, which fills his heart, But ne'er can it express. Thus finite man scans God's whole plan, And strives to imitate, And I surmise, sometime, somehow, He'll greet us in the skies. G. S. ALLISON. SNATCHES FROM SCHOOL LIFE. By First and Second Years.

Tis a motley crowd, that teaching corps Of men and women, almost a score, Whom mother state hath gleaned from out The dedagogues that roam about, To teach us facts, and theories, too, Wherewith to fight a battle true Against Dame Ignorance's crew. This teaching corps, we said before* Is motley, though we them adore. 'Tis true there are some who once were young, Were giddy, loud and gay; But time has changed their silly tongue, And now they never think of play. There are some from whom a smile ne'er comes, There are some who are always gay; There are some who never get to know The student's little joy or woe. There are some who are worked with ease by some. There are some who work some, too; There are somte who are neither worked nor work, But the sum of them all are true. There are a few who are so stout— Far more than a span about; And some so lean, with eyes so keen, We sometimes think them mean. There are some—one or two—'tis true, Who stand six feet or more; And some so short that their forms distort, When to speak they take the floor. There are some whose eyes are deepest brown% There are some whose eyes are gray; There are some who wear the rimless "specks," And have for many a day. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 November - Page 2 ---------- 2 The Normal Messenger We forgot to say that there are some So beautiful, young, aglow, But true there are—we iriean to say— There were—in the distant, long ago. Oh, strange to tell, these teachers, too, Are human, not divine; There are sometimes streaks, that show they're freaks, As any common kind. But, taking one and all we say, From each some truth we learn, We love that motley crowd, we do, E'en tho their gaze in class we spurn. AS ONE PUPIL SEES THEM. EDWARD T. MATHES.

Entered December 21, 1902, at Bellingham, Washington, as second-class matter, under Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. Vol. VI. NOVEMBER, 1906 No. 2 EDITORIAL. The Messenger has a circulation at this time of 500, a few of which are sent to the coast of Connecticut, and from the Gulf to Minnesota, and even finding its way into far-off Alaska. It enters into fifteen or twenty High Schools. From its pages other students and people judge this school; so what enters into it de­termines our standing as a school. As we are interested in our school we would have others of like opinion, and in order to obtain this condition we must make our paper represent the best talent there is in school. This can only be done by the student body giving its support in materials. There are those in school who have traveled in distant lands. Can't you write an interesting article upon those travels? There are those whose imagi­nations can give a beautiful story. "Won't you write it? There are those whose minds see and feel the poetic things of life; can't you contribute a poem? There are those who actu­ally see humor in school life. "Won't you use your talent to help others see it? It is the earnest desire of the editorial staff that anyone who has something which will be of interest to the school will give us such ma­terial in the news box, or hand it to one of the editors. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 November - Page 13 ---------- The Normal Messenger 13 AS SOME PEOPLE SEE TODAY. Today? Yes today is but the allowance Times gives to sun and moon To run their certain courses thru The limitless expanse of the heavens; Just a stitch which Father Time Taken in weaving Eternity; Just a few hours for sun to shine, Just a few hours to weep, Just a few hours for man to toil, Idle awhile, and then to sleep. AS OTHER PEOPLE SEE TODAY. Today—a rich and sparkling gem From God's storehouse of time, Set full with four and twenty hours, Mere specks, so infinitely fine; So rich, so grand, so full perchance, That I have caught but just one glance; Improved so few of moments true, And scarce begun, yes, left undone A thousand things that would have brot Me nearer God—the Perfect Thot. Today—which from Eternity wrung Recognition for all of its worth. Worth—What worth a day in Eternity's sight When ceaseless aeons are not a mite, Nay, less a lightning flash at night? "What claim has Today," the ages ask, "For praying old Father Time to check The speeding hours of its day? "Is it more rich, endowed, more gay, That man might wish it to delay? Do its few hours bring greater dowers Than other passed days? Does its sun shine at ev'n decline With shades more manifold? Or, are its hours like those of ours, And those which yet shall be?" Oh, mournful past, why dost thou grasp My unused, fair Today? Its opportunities are at my command, While yours are far from touch of hand, So I love today, for from it I may Glean truth and helpfulness. But you have gone, ne'er to return, So you, I must, I will e'er spurn. Oh, grant to me thou Infinite One, True meaning of today, Oh, from the hours which are so few, Which flee, and ne'er return; Wilt Thou but hear my feeble prayer And grant me just this boon, ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 November - Page 14 ---------- 14 The Normal Messenger To see, to act, to consummate, Some noble deed or word? LAROC ARLOG THE STUDENT'S PROBLEM. In these days of rush and hurry men are asking themselves, "How may I utilize my time in order that I may receive the greatest returns for the time and effort put forth? It this spirit that has sunken into oblivion the congenial life of the earlier days; it is this spirit that has robbed the home and individu­al of that essence which makes them grand and noble—time for unconcealed and free in­tercourse— real altruism. Into every phase of life this condition of af­fairs has entered. The laborer rushes home at night, retires, arises and rushes to work again; the busy merchant is up and off with the sun, with scarcely time to eat; the mer­chant, the farmer, the politician; in fact, everyone, seems to be rushing as if their all depended upon that day's effort. As a con­sequence, men become narrow and selfish, and thus, unhappy, leaving the world no better by their having lived in it. In college life, which is so short, time is precious, and each one feels that he must get all the knowledge he can in those four or six years, consequently he lives to himself, study­ing till late at night, arising early to study, rushing to school, reciting, he returns to his room to study again, and thus the weeks go by. Soon he graduates and goes out into his field of work without having been known ex­cept in schoolroom, making few friends, and robbing himself of much pleasure that he owes to himself. Does such a student really get the most out of his college training? No. Man is a social creature and hence loves to mingle with peo­ple. As teachers, this is of more importance, for they must have the power of adaptation, if they are to be real teachers. Where is this power to be developed? In college life. How? By meeting and mingling with fellow-students. This comes not from the classroom, for there they interchange ideas for the mere sake of knowledge. Then, where? By meet­ing other outside of the study room, and in other interests than those of books. In social gatherings, in class functions, on the athletic field, or in friendly rivalry. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 November - Page 15 ---------- The Normal Messenger 15 To the extent, then, that each student gives his share of time and interest to a common cause—class spirit, to that extent will he grow out of his own selfish life into a broader and more complete altruism. Nor will he be the worse for it. Observation and experience have shown that the students who accomplish most when they leave school are those who have been most active in the different inter­ests of their "Alma Mater." In closing, ask yourself this question: "Am I giving my share of time and talent to make school life attractive? If so, well and good; If not, then do not wonder that the student body is uncongenial and selfish, for remem­ber, 'Men who carry away the riches of In­dia must carry into India some riches.' " DEATH OF MISS VAN REYPEN. The students and faculty of the Normal were grieved to hear of the death of Miss Sarah Van Reypen, class of '06, who went to California last July for her health. Miss Van Reypen, a year ago, was in school, hard at work—too hard for her strength. Her health began to fail and after the holidays she stopped school to take up teaching, which she found to be too much for her failing health. So she remained at home until July, when, accompanied by Miss Mildred Wilson, she went to California, where she seemed bet­ter for a time, but gradually declined until death at last claimed her. Miss Van Reypen was held in high esteem by faculty and stu­dents, as was shown by the reponsible posi­tions she held. She was editor-in-chief of the Messenger, also president of the Athletic As­sociation, which offices she filled ably, besides accomplishing best results in her other school work. LITERARY SOCIETIES. A good, pure, intellectual woman is a power for good in any community. Her influence will continue long after she has ceased to act her part in the tragedy of life. Give her the crown and scepter of a rural school teacher, and her power will be greatly increased, and the fruits of her toil will be rich beyond com­pare. Amjong the many opportunities of use­fulness there is one which seems to be much neglected. The fashions have changed and ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 November - Page 16 ---------- 16 The Normal Messenger more time is now devoted to the modern fads, which, let me say, are sometimes useful as well as ornamental. The old time literary society was productive of much value, and is yet capable of good results. It caused the people to meet on common ground. The older ones discussed subjects im­portant and unimportant. The vital questions of "immortality" down to those of little im­portance such as "pursuit and possession, as causes of happiness." Here, also, national and international problems were discussed along with the one as to ownership in the case where the pumpkin vine grew thru the neigh­bor's fence and bore fruit as well as "deriding the motherhood of a chicken hatched by a hen other than the one that laid the egg." I sup­pose that that question would now be much more complicated on account of the incubator. Many who remember the days of literary societies in the old school house, can point to ministers, lawyers, doctors and successful business men, as timid, awkward, performers of long ago. Many a man can date his intel­lectual awakening from one of those societies. They were the preparatory school in which a large per cent, of our successful men received their first inspiration and training. The teacher who has ability and inclination to revive the old custom, will be able to sow intellectual seed that will, as the years go by, yield rich harvests to civilization. The litera­ry societies in the Normal are provided for the purpose of giving you students the training that will prepare you for the work in rural communities. If you find some one has start­ed this good work, take hold with a will and help it along. If no one has made a beginning, then it is your duty to start the good work. Long after you have gone and are forgotten, the good work will continue as a monument to a faithful worker. JOHN T. FORREST. A BANQUET. The faculty sat around the ruins of what was once a Thanksgiving turkey, and its ac­companiments, but, alas, what a wreck! Sud­denly there arose one upon whose face intel­ligence actually glowed. Lifting high in the air the banquet cup, he cried: "Here's to the student who mistakes the hall for a boulevard. Here's to the one that ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 November - Page 17 ---------- The Normal Messenger 17 daily flunks, even tho' I glare. Here's to them all—may they sometime in the glorious future learn the meaning of silence." Straightway from the opposite side of the table arose one who cried: "Here's to the one that is ever coming af­ter the roll is called. May she be on time when Gabriel calls the last roll." "Ha, ha," laughed another, "Here's to the one who bluffeth not, nor laugheth loud in the work room, but her delight is in her sub­ject plan on which she meditates many days and nights." "Confound it," was heard from behind a cream pitcher. "What a mess of idiots— Here's to the student who, altho she can't fol­low me, still gets much from the class—who bring to class neither knitting nor sewing; to whom the individual " "Here—here—here's to the one from the farm, even if they think the gas comes in on a wire. Here's to the one whose lecture course ticket and rebate fund are clear." From behind a wreck of bones came a voice: "Here's to the girl whose note book is a thing of beauty—yea, the one who gets honorable mention." "Here's to the one whose music note book is very excellent—whose joy is classical selec­tions, and who can go up the ladder with pa without laughing." Yet another arose: "Here's to the once that never mentions 'Reed and Kellogg,' and to whom Browning is " At this point our reporter was called away to a fudge party, and we failed to get a report of the other toasts in time for this issue. "We hope that we may obtain them some time in the future, and our readers may have the edi­fication of hearing the rest of those gems of tho't promulgated by this august assembly. KLONDIKE REVERIE. The Yukon hills lie buried Beneath the winter's snows, All signs of life seem vanished, All trace of worldly woes. The trees keep silent vigil With branches bent down low, The north wind passes by them Unheard, they do not know. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 November - Page 18 ---------- 18 The Normal Messenger But when the full moon rises In sky that's clear and blue, The old white hills awaken And seem a gorgeous hue. The snow is no more sleeping, But sparkling with delight At moonbeams gaily passing Changing darkness into light. A rabbit leaves his burrow, Darts o'er the frozen snow Amazed by light and splendor He wonders where to go. The quietude is broken By some wild shrieking tune, A malamute is sadly Lamenting to the moon. The Northern lights flash wildly Across from sky to sky. Their white trail seems to tell us The frost king reigns on high. But soon the vision's ended As dawn breaks on the scene, The old moon's slowly sinking Show's 'twas but a winter's dream. All told, we have a picture Composed of life and light, The harmony of nature Shows our great Creator's might. MARIE ODEGAARD.

I can't describe him very well, but a girl once said, "His little goatee tickles me so all the time," and a great man once described him after something from the Chemistry room, scented the building as "Prof. , with his nose screwed up and a string tied around it." Some people say that it is a relic of barbar­ism to tack your grades upon the door, but as a rule he is considered rather gentle (?) In­deed he looked so fatherly or something that when he went to go in thejnusic room one day the whole class yelled out,~"Pa." I guess that's all I know about him except that he has used up one bottle of red ink al­ready this year, and the second is going fast. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 November - Page 20 ---------- 20 The Normal Messenger ANNOUNCEMENT.

The opening of the new school year is always an event of more than ordinary interest to new students. The first few days are often filled with vary­ing experiences. The arrival in the city, the first visit to the school, the selection of a board­ing place, the running of the gauntlet before the various faculty committees are also ex­periences more or less filled with surprises, and sometimes with keen disappointments, but after these are over and regular class work has begun the atmosphere, so to speak, begins to clear; new associations are formed, and the real pleasures of school life begin. It is hoped by the writer that these second experiences have already been realized by the students of the Normal Sehool, and it is urged that all students endeavor to make full use of the social, literary and religious advantages offered by the institution. Let each one con­sider it a privilege to become an active mem­ber of one or more of the organizations main­tained by the student-body. Always arrange to attend the social func­tions of the school and never miss a lecture if you can avoid it. Subscribe for the Normal School Messen­ger; speak kindly of your teachers and fellow students; say a good word for your school when opportunity offers, and always be ready to de­fend its good name. At the same time be just to yourself. Grant yourself time for an occasional social hour and lastly permit us to say that every student, both old and new, will always find a warm welcome at the home of the writer. If any student has ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 October - Page 3 ---------- The Normal Messenger 3 a lonesome hour or wishes to ask for counsel or advice, or to call simply for a social chat, he will receive a cordial welcome. The latch-string is always out. EDWARD T. MATHES. SENIOR CLASS. Yes, the senior class this year numbers only thirty-seven, smaller in number than last year, but we have something that they did not have last year, nor year before,no, nor year before! What is that? Seven real, live boys! Indeed an event in the history of the Normal of which we are justly proud. At the beginning of the year a meeting was called and Miss Ada Myers elected president. Miss Myers has been connected with the Nor­mal for a number of years and has the wel­fare of the school and class at heart. Miss Alice McCullough, who took her junior work with the class of '06 and spent the last year teaching, was elected vice-president. Miss Ellen Sweet, also an old student who has been teaching, was chosen as secretary. For treas­urer we elected Mr. Charles Jones who, altho' a members of the 3rd year class last year, has made up his work and joined the great and glorious class of '07. The faculty graciously allowed us two class tfeachers: Miss Frances Hays and Prof. Washington Wilson. Please observe the powers linked with the Seniors.. Note also, that the editor-in-chief and business manager of the Messenger are Seniors. On October 12, the class had a jolly little party in the gym, where we got better acquaint­ed and learned: Vas is das? Vas is das? Das is Senior! ! Ain't it? Athletic practice has begun. Wait and watch us tear down the works in basketball. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 October - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger SENIOR RECEPTION. The guests of the Senior reception, Friday evening October 26th, were pleasantly sur­prised to find upon reaching the second floor that a magic spell had transformed the fa­miliar class rooms of their daily routine into tasty drawing, music and dining rooms. Au­tumn leaves and ivy abounded everywhere, plants and rugs gave a homelike air that put the guests quickly at their ease. A farce, "The Bull Terrior and the Baby," entertained the guests during the first part of the evening, after which a social time followed and ice cream and cake were served in the dining room (i. e. Prof. Wilson's room). The members of the Senior class were re­cognized not only by their badges of olive and cream but by their gracious manner which gave the guests such a pleasant evening. Owing to a misunderstanding the 2nd years had planned an informal reception to the fresh­men to be held in the gym. The entertaining class kindly transferred their reception, at a late hour, from Friday to Saturday evening. The unselfishness displayed by the class of 1911 is to be commended by the school. Y. W. C. A. At the Y. W. C. A. summer conference of the Northwest held at Gearhart, Ore., from August 31 to September 11, Bellingham was represented by a faculty member and four as­sociation girls. They were: Miss Sperry, Minnie Le Sourd, Ada Myers, Minnie Carver and Gladys Patric. The conference was com­posed of delegates from four cities, and many secretaries from the State, National and World's Work. Gerhart is on the coast of Oregon and is one of the most beautiful summer resorts in the Northwest and this fact, together with the many able speakers, made the conference a most enjoyable and profitable event. It has been the aim of the association to meet all the new students and give them a hearty welcome. With this in view, two recep­tions have been given. The first was an in­formal reception given to the girls on the first Friday afternoon of school; the second was a formal reception held in the evening of Sep- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 October - Page 5 ---------- The Mo final Messenger 5 tembfir 21, to which all students and friends of the Normal were invited. Extensive preparations are being made for the State Convention which is to be held here November 1, 2, 3 and 4. Every association of the state intends sending representatives and we wish our friends to join us in extending to them a hearty welcome. Miss Elizabeth Wilson, editor of the Evangel and the head of the train­ing institute for secretaries will be with us, also many forceful state workers. "SCHOOLS OF THE NORTH." The educational system of the Yukon Ter­ritory is excellent. It is the ambition of the Board of Education to prepare their students to enter any college or university with as much honor and high standing as pupils who come from the preparatory schools of the outside world. The center of this great system is Dawson. Its schools are noted for their good equipment. Owing to the country's great wealth, the ex­penditure for schools is very great. Much has been expended in the various laboratories for teaching the sciences, and in the well equipped libraries. A great many teachers are employed, the average salary being one hundred and seventy-five dollars per month. Canadian teachers have the preference, but an American teacher may secure a position is she is able to pass an examination for a first grade certificate from Vancouver, B. C. Vacation is very short, school opening the middle of August and closing the last week in June. Although the temperature sometimes falls to seventy degrees below zero, the schools are seldom compelled to close. The superintendent, who founded these schools and improved them from year to year, has recently resigned, which is much regretted by the people of the territory. He has, how­ever, been succeeded by a man in every way capable of carrying out the plans so well begun. The above article was written by Miss Cecelia Stroop, of Dawson, Alaska, who is here at­tending school. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 October - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger THE NORMAL MESSENGER Published Monthly by the Students of THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL BELUNGHAM, WASHINGTON Press of EDSON IRISH, 1311 Railroad Ave. EDITORIAL STAFF GUY SELVIN ALLISON . . . .

OCTOBER, 1906 No. 1 EDITORIAL Thru six years of a successful existence, the Messenger has lived, and with this issue it en­ters upon its seventh year, full of hope and en­thusiasm for a greater degree of perfection. With more than three hundred students and a host of friends to fill its pages with interesting notes, there, is every reason to believe that the Messenger has before it the most successful year of its existence. With a corps of editors, glib of tongue and quick to see, it is reasonable to believe that every student in school will desire the paper, looking forward for each issue with unbounded interest; and to the extent that each class and organization does give its share of support, to that extent will the paper be successful. It is the earnest desire of the editorial staff that every student in school will subscribe for it, thereby aiding in the establishment of a fund which, it is hoped, will in a few years be large enough to equip a printing office in connection with the school. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 October - Page [7] ---------- EDITORIAL STAFF baft to right—Opp«p ttova—flnnlt Thrall, draaa T*anuUn, Baal* GBavna*, ]4o*h Davenport, Iralu Sniralitfa, Oladya Patvla.

Class President Myrtle Porter Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Ethel Cook Class Eoll Thirty-eight The class of '09 during the school term of '05-'06, even though an under-class, played a leading part in making the school year, as far as class competition was concerned, the most spirited in the school's history. It is this same class, with its numbers some­what swelled by new students, that will take its place among the foremost this year. Mr. Epley and Miss Hogle are the class teachers. This choice is singularly happy and under the guidance of Mr. Epley's philosophy, together with Miss Hogle's initable capacity for arranging social events, the class will do much in the line of class competition. The Fourth Year Class is proud of its class teachers, proud of its president and other of­ficers and proud of each other. The class held an informal party in the so­ciety hall on the evening of October 20. Some musical numbers and recitations were given and the remainder of the evening was spent with games and getting acquainted. This little party was the forerunner of many more social affairs. JUNIOR CLASS MEETING. Alone and quiet I sat in that sacred recess adjoining room 24, pondering on the quiet and stillness in the Great Hall of Learning, when lo! the massive door swings on its hinges and the stifled tread of a vast multitude reaches my ear. Shall I enter and bid them welcome ? No. They are at home, they need no help. See how studious, how sedate they are. The seats are all full and yet on they come. A wee, small man, with a piping voice, repeats again and again, "We must organize." Time passes. A great, tall, raven-haired youth occupies the chair of state. No need to ask him his name. "The Smith, a mighty man is he." And now, for fear that he, who is to lead, may not always be there, the multitude with one cry, selects as vice-president Miss Morrison, ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 October - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 equally as strong and capable as her superior. A hush now falls on the throng, but it is soon broken by the voice of Miss Sillix, who de­clares that all these happenings should be kept as a model for our successors and who would be more capable than Miss Spedding? From another in the throng comes this question, "Who can we trust to handle the vast capital of the Junior Class?" Quickly comes the answer, "Miss Haycox." Why do all eyes now turn toward the door? Lurking outside is a 4th year. Immediately Mr. Holliday suggests that he, of all others, be allowed to deal with slick culprits. The presi­dent, rising slowly, appoints a committee to draught the immemorable constitution of this body. Thus ends the first great concourse of the Junior Class of 1906. C. S. On the eve of October 13th, the Juniors gave a class party in the society hall. In order that every one might get acquainted, we had a con­versational game, in which we discussed our homes, the Normal school, and various other things. The Junior class colors are seal brown and gold. Please do not mistake the Fourth Years for us, even though their colors are similar. If you are in doubt as to which class a person be­longs notice the dignified carriage of a Junior and then compare that with the indifference of a Fourth Year. If you were in assembly during the Teachers' Institute you could not help but hear— Woh, wdh, wes. Woh, wdh, wes. Juniors, Juniors, Yes, yes. SECOND YEAR CLASS. The Second Year Class was organized Oct. 5, 1906. At first the number of members was quite small but as there are more students join­ing the class each day, we now have thirty members. We consider ourselves fortunate with Artie Thrall as president of our class, as she was our freshmen president. Miss Plummer, who at­tended the Ellensburg Normal last year, is our vice-president. Pearl Stanton and Olive Kale ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 October - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Normal Messenger were elected as secretary and treasurer. Our yell master is Elizabeth Workman, who is very competent for this position. Grace Tremain was elected as basketball manager and we all hope to have a very success­ful team. We had a great deal of enjoyment and ex­citement in selecting our class colors, finally deciding upon cardinal and cream. Throt-a-torthrat-ta-thrat-ta-thrat Terra-ter-lix-ter-lix-ter-lix ' Kich-a-ba-ba-kich-a-ba-ba Sophomore-Sophomore Ra! Ra! Ral Miss Nellie Cooper, who for five years, has acted as secretary to Dr. Mathes, resigned her position and returned to her home in McMinn-ville, Oregon. During her stay here, her pleas­ing manners and affability won for her a host of friends who regret very much to see her leave. Miss Nellie McBride, who has been teach­ing in the Franklin school, has accepted the position left vacant by the resignation of Miss Cooper. Miss McBride is a graduate of the Bellingham High School and has attended school one year each at Stanford and University of Washington. We give her a hearty welcome and trust that before long she may accustom herself to her new duties. THE PRACTICAL SIDE OF THE PLAN. SUBJECT PLAN. I. Leading conclusions to be left in the minds of the pupils. 1. The pupils have no idea what the teacher is driving at. 2. That the teacher is very glad when the bell rings for dismissal. 3. That the pupils are mighty glad when the bell rings, also. 4. That the teacher is mighty scared when the critic appears. 5. That the practice teachers are very easy to bluff. I I . All leading facts used in reaching these conclusions. 1. Too numerous to be mentioned but there are to be found between the cov- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 October - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger 11 ers of the text book. For name of textr apply to the critic teacher. If she doesn't know, go to H. G. L. and if he doesn't know, he'll look it up in his outline. I I I . Show how these facts will be presented to the children. 1. Have them thoroughly chewed and pre-digested before administering them to the children to be "dug-out." 2. Cram it in, jam it in, slam it in; any­way to get it in—and to get A in teaching. IV. Show how you will expect the children to arrive at the above conclusion. 1. By one period of careful ( ?) prepara­tion in the workroom. 2. The chief method used is the "stum-ble- on-to-it" method. 3. The welcome smile with which the critic-teacher or supervisor is greeted by the practice-teacher leads the pupil to Conclusion 4.

The First Years have in their class about thirty-five hard-working students. Among them are several boys. The class organization has boys at its head. That is why it is so pro­gressive. Mr. John Turner, the president, presides at the class-meetings with a wisdom equal to that of a Senior. Miss Carrie Smith, the vice-presi­dent, is the president's able helper. Secretary Louis Crozier records the doings of the class in a book that will be a pleasure to read when the First Years of today are the Seniors of a day to come. Mr. Crozier is also burdened with the class-funds. ANNIE D. HALL, Class-Editor. Schedule of the preliminary games in basket ball. November 2nd, '06— Seniors and Second Years.

At that time more than forty new classes will be organized, including review work in common branches, classes in advanced subjects as well as methods classes in several of the common school branches. New students may enter as well in February as in September, and a large number are ex­pected for the next semester. The school is always able to find good board­ing places for all who come, and excellent ac­commodations may be secured for four dollars per week. Furnished rooms for light house­keeping may also be rented at very reasonable prices. OPPORTUNITY TO WORK The Normal School has always been able to secure places in private homes for all young ladies who wish to work for their board while attending school. At the present time places can be found for a dozen girls if there are girls who will accept this excellent opportunity to attend school at the minimum of cost. The school is always glad to assist students to find places where they may earn their board and room while in school, and correspondence is invited from all who are interested in further details.

GLOVER BLOCK luu# ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 February - Page [3] ---------- THE NORMAL MESSENGER FEBRUARY, 1906 A LEGEND Long ago the Tribe of the Mtiltonoma was very great. All the Indians far to the north and south paid tribute to their great Chief; his word was law. But alas, less they should become too proud the great spirit de­creed that their power should last only so long as the wonderful bridge stood across the Columbia. Therefore the bridge was carefully guarded night and day. It had another charm, being the passageway of the Gods. On Mt. Hood dwelt the beautiful Goddess of Hood. She had many lovers and was much admired by the Gods. But of all who came only two found favor, God of Mt. Ranier and God of Mt. Baker. Between these she could not choose. So daily they came to court the Goddess, and daily they passed over the bridge without seeing each other, for they could render themselves invisible. After each had pressed his suit long and ardently without making much headway, each began to fear he had a rival and to watch for him. Many moons passed without either's success. But one bright spring morning as the sun rose out of its bed, from behind the hills they met unexpectedly on the bridge. Now that they had met at last all the rage which had slum­bered so long released itself and they fought. Each called up all the wind and clouds and rain and thunder and lightning of which he was master, and a great storm such as had never before been seen by even the oldest Indians from the north or south, broke with a fury. For many suns they fought causing the mountains to belch forth fire and smoke and water, until they could no longer see to grasp each other. At length with a mighty ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 February - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger crash the bridge fell into the raging torrent, and the two Gods were swept into the river and separated. Then the storm subsided, Mt. Ranier and Mt. Baker ceased to belch forth flames and smoke, the rivers once more flowed quietly toward the sea, once more the sun shone brightly. But alas! the Mystic Bridge had fallen, so must the power of the Multonomas wane, and the people die for the Great Spirit had decreed it. We still find a handful of this tribe in their old hunting grounds and the ruins of the beautiful Nat­ural Bridge is one of the show places of the Dalles, Oregon. THE POET'S LAST POEM The poet sat racking his brains Through many long, dreary hours, He wanted to write with all of his might Some beautiful poem on flowers. He'd have a thought now and then But the next one would come amiss, So at last in despair he tore his hair And gnashing his teeth he wrote this : "Oh come where the lillies lil, And the tomtit tweets *tut tut,' Oh come with a dash where the passion flower pash And come where buttercups butte." "The clover is chewing cloves The myrtle is eating myrrh, They're sufficiently bold to want to marry gold And would with a cypress her." "They consider her tulips sweet And they think she has scads in phlox, But what will they do when they find to their rue It's that counterfeit coin shamrocks." "The nightshade arranged in primrose Makes a food that is most deliterious, Though eat it you may in the daisy day, . You'll feel toward night-blooming-cereus." "If the mushrooms won't eat mush The weeping willow will, Then come with a dash where the passion flowers pash And come where the lilies lill." Said the poet then, "It is up To me to commit suicide" But he hadn't a knife to still the strife, Nor a gun nor poison to end his life So he read his own poem and died. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 February - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger 5 SENIORS A most delightful and long-to-be-remem­bered event in the life of the Senior class was the unique reception given in their honor by their class teacher, Miss Frances S. Hays. The cozy rooms in Miss Hay's new home on Garden street were tastefully decorated, the prevailing tone being the class color, yellow. The fore part of the evening was given over to games and a guessing contest in which Miss Minnie Alice Osberg won the prize, a beautiful little souvenir spoon with "Normal, '06" engraved on the inside of the bowl. During the latter part of the evening all gathered in the parlor and there by the light of the spacious fireplace they listened to some quaint Hawaiian love songs sung in the native tongue by Miss Edna Horner, who played her own accompaniment on the "Ukalele," a sweet-toned little instrument much used and much loved by the natives of Hawaii. Miss Hays was assisted by Miss Myrl Hays, Miss Ada Hogle, Miss Sperry and Miss Edna Horner. The Seniors all have so much originality and have learned from Mr. Wilson's History of Education lectures so much about individ­uality t h a t they cannot decide upon any one style of class pin; hence the '06 pins are still a thing of the future. At the Bellingham Normal on the after­noon of January 23, there was much whisper­ing in secluded corners of the halls and a frantic search for substitute teachers. For­gotten lesson plans were hastily made up, and lessons shut up in the various lockers. The cause: Accompanied by Miss Hays twelve members of the Senior Oratory class boarded the steamer Whatcom for Seattle. Purpose: To make a study of the play, "Ingomar" as presented by Louis James. No doubt, had Louis James and his company ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 February - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger known of the gifted critics who leaned over the rail of the balcony with note book and pencil in hand, they would have trembled and been overcome with stage freight, for The Timarch of Massilia with Polydor, Parthenia, Actea, Myron, and Ingomar himself were there. The Bellingham company received many helpful suggestions from a study of the characters and feel that the time was well spent even if they did find ghastly specters of forgotten exams, awaiting them on their return. "Ingomar" will be played by the Oratory class of the Normal school in the near future and the company are confident that if the event is well advertised in Seattle many will be glad to take advantage of the last and only time that "Ingomar" will be presented by the members of the Bellingham company, Miss Hays, Manager. THE JUNIOR RECEPTION One of the most enjoyable affairs of the school \'ear was the annual Junior reception held in the Normal Society Hall on the even­ing of December 7. The invited guests were the Normal students and about seventy-five outsiders. Early in the evening the hall, which was prettily decorated with cozy corners, a gypsy tent and the class colors, was alive with boys and girls. A short program consisting of piano solos by Misses Pillman and France and a number of familiar magazine advertise­ments illustrated by members of the class were well rendered. Later a conversation game and fortune telling afforded a great deal of amusement. We sincerely hope that some of our flowery fortunes will come true. Refreshments consisting of home baked cookies, cider and fudge were served in the Y. W. room. At a late hour every one slow- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 February - Page 7 ---------- The Normal Messenger 7 ly wended their way home ward, declaring that they had had one of the best times of their school existence. The Juniors are to be complemented on their success. JUNIOR Election of officers for the following se­mester was held Wednesday, Jan. 31. Pres­ident Scannel was re-elected by an almost unanimous vote; Lessie Hankins was elected Vice-President, Francis Arnold, Secretary, Irene Selby, Treasurer, Benton Mc Clure, Sergeant-at-Arms. The Junior Basket Ball girls have elected Miss Edith Perkins as Manager of the Junior Team for the next semester. Miss Nora Cor-bett served in place of Miss Coburn, who left Normal just after Christmas, but school work would not permit the former to accept the office for the second semester. New Juniors entering the second semester are: Miss Eason, of Seattle; Miss Marylea Pemberton, of Tacoma. Miss Clark, of Seattle; Mr. Robinson. JUNIOR QUERIES: Who flunked in Psychology ? What did you pass in, Gym ? How many are taking mental Arith over, just to be thorough? Don't all speak at once. Prof. Romine spent the first of the week visiting friend(-s) in Tacoma. We do hope he will be kind to us when he corrects our Biology exams, Mr. A.—"There is a new Junior boy." Junior Girl—"Oh, joy! Is he nice looking? " Mr. A.—"Yes, and his wife is, also."

FEBRUARY, 1906 No. 4 EDITORIALS The new semester,. which began January 29, promises to be a busy, profitable and in­teresting one, both for students and faculty. Some of the old students have left to enter new fields of work. In their places have come the new ones. To the former our best wishes for their success and to the new students a welcome. During their stay among us may they glean something that, added to their life's crown, may prove a benefit and joy forever.

Do not subscribe; borrow your room­mate's paper. Just be a sponge. 2. Look up the advertisers and then go and trade with the other fellow. Be a chump. 3. Never hand in a news item and criticise everything in the paper. Be a coxcomb. If you can't get a hustle on your anatomy and help make the paper a success, be a corpse exit.—Z. I. P. Sometimes on our platform there appears a messenger greater than his message. How­ever, we greatly appreciate the speaker whose message is the major to the messenger. While we may appear to welcome both we much prefer the latter. "The polisher needs precious stone no less than precious stone needs polisher." "Measure your mind's height by the shade it casts." THIRD YEARS A meeting of the Third Year class was held January 15 and the following officers were elected: President, Walter Nichols; Vice- President, Dorothy Jennings; Secretary and Treasurer, Geneveive Martin: Sargeant-at-arms, Raymond Montgomery. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 February - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Normal Messenger The Third Year class is a strong one, full of vim and enthusiasm. We are not dead, but are lying dormant awaiting the spring when we will burst forth with renewed vigor. We are sorry to loose from our class circle Messrs. Davenport and Montgomery, who have thought a change in vocation advisable. SFXOND YEARS During the past month we had quite an extensive sick list for which we were indeed sorry. Miss Mabel Spencer was out of school for two weeks on account of illness. Miss Grace Allen while home for vacation was taken ill and did not return until several days after school began. Miss McCrate one of our most active members has been ill, but we are glad to say she is with us again. A welcome to Miss Gillilan. Miss Grace Tremain was very pleasantly surprised by a visit from her big brother, Harvey, just before the holidays. He said he enjoyed his visit very much—the excess of girls was too much for him. Several new students have entered our class, Miss Richards, just from the east, Miss Upton and Miss Bayly are among the number. Hustle up Second Years and get your basket ball team in order for the contests are on the way. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 February - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger 11 ON THE SIDE Exam., cram Flunk, trunk Needles and pins, needles and pins When a girl teaches her trouble begins.

EXCHANGE The atmosphere of a genuine winter—such, as natives of Puget Sound can never know-by experience, is brought to us in the beauti­ful little poems on "Winter" found in the columns of the Prospect. We have been on the lookout for the Out­look but thus far we have looked in vain. The Academy Journal certainly has some literary members and a hard working editor. He knows how to rustle and whats more he does it. Keep it up journalists! Your ex­change column has a true ring to it. THESPIAN SOCIETY The Thespian Society met in room 71 on Friday, January 12, '06. A good program was given and everybody enjoyed it. Miss Holt gave an instrumental solo; Miss Sullivan gave us a vocal solo, which was heartily encored; Miss Williams gave us a talk on "The Life of Shakespeare"; and Miss Wallon "The Development of the Theatre and the Stage"; Miss Cowing gave us a reading from "As You Like I t , " Orlando and Rosalind in the Forest of Arden. CLIONEAN January 12, 1906. The society met and an exceptionally good program was ren- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 February - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger dered, each number being well prepared and given. As this was the date for the elec­tion of officers a motion was made and carried that the secretary cast the vote of the society for the old officers to serve another term. ALKASIAH The Alkasiah's last meeting was a busi­ness session at which the following officers were elected: Selma Glinberg, President; Lilian Fogg, Vice-President; Beatrice Armour, Secretary; Veda Forrest, Treasurer; Lena Smith, Press Reporter; Christine Thiel and Lena Dodd, Consuls. At the previous meeting of the club the following program was rendered: Paper on Peace Movement Miss Fogg Vocal Solo Miss Glineberg Influence of Peace Movement on the Position of Women Miss Gooch Roosevelt's Position on Peace Movement... Miss Armour Remarks Miss Baker DEBATING CLUB The Debating Club met on January fifth, and again on the seventeenth. The literary programs rendered were fairly good and con­sisted as usual of debates, songs, essays and recitations. The attendance at both of these meetings was rather small. However, on February first, when the members of the club were royally entertained by the Alkisiah Society, every member that found it possible came. The entertainment was a complete success, and when it was moved at a special meeting of the club to send the Alkisiah So­ciety a vote of thanks, every member answered aye. ATHLETICS "Sumas, Sumas, we were only beating you, Sumas, Sumas, just see what we could do— of course you know that we were winning, ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 February - Page 13 ---------- The Normal Messenger 13 winning, winning for the Normal blue. Don't be angry—we were only, only beating you," —so we sang, but really it turned out that we were only teasing Sumas, for the game which the Normal boys played with the Sumas team on Saturday, January 20th, re­sulted in a tie; the score being 7 to 7. Such fast and rough basket ball has never been played by our Normal boys before, but when one is playing basket ball against a foot ball team, one must "do as the Romans do when in Rome." Certainly all who went with the team to Sumas appreciated the game, but we also ap­preciated many other items of attraction— such as the snow storm, and the big brass band, the procession to the opera house where the game was played, the vaudeville performance before the game, the walk over the boundary line into Canada and the snow ball fight. What haven't we in store for Sumas when the return game is played here ? ALUMNI Miss Lucy Vestal '03 and Miss Mary G. Bird, a former student and ex-editor-in-chief of the NORMAL MESSENGER, visited the vari-ious departments of the training school and the Normal last week. Both of these young ladies are teaching in Snohomish. Mrs. Lilly Carter Mayer, '03, who now resides in Matlock, Mason Co., has a fine new baby girl. Miss Alta Barton, a member of last year's Junior class, is teaching an ungraded school at Rainier, Thurston Co. Miss Margaret Schneider, '03, and Miss Elsa Schneider, '04, visited the Normal for a day last week. Miss Margaret is teaching in the Port Townsend schools and Miss Elsa is teaching a t Lemolo, Whatcom Co. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 February - Page 14 ---------- 14 The Normal Messenger Thomas Monnett, of the class of '02, is teaching the Excelsior school this year and Lucius Jones, '03, is principal at Nooksack. Miss Marie Wheeler, '05, has charge of the primary grades in the Oakland school in Tacoma and is doing some very good work. That sly little archer, Cupid, has been at his work again and this time the victim is Thomas Korstad of the '01 class. The bride is Miss Julia Forgeson of Seattle and the wedding took place in that city on the even­ing of December 24. Mr. Korstad is a teacher in the north side High school, so the young people will make this city their future home. LOCALS Miss Pearl Peime, a member of the MES­SENGER staff, is ill with pleurisy at St. Luke's* hospital. Mr. Arthur Robinson, a former student, has returned to take up his work in the Junior class. Miss Grace Dickey spent the fore part of the week in the city. Raymond Montgomery has left school, and has accepted a position to test his ability as pedagog. Miss Ethel Birney, who completed her course at the Normal, has accepted a position in the Sedro-Woolley schools. Miss Winnie Green has been called away from school on account of the illness of her mother. On Monday, January 29th, the Normal school and their guests, the students and faculties of the two high schools, met in the Assembly Hall at 3 p. m. and listened to a short musical program given by students of the school and to an excellent address by Rev. Mason of Seattle. '06.. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 February - Page 15 ---------- The Normal Messenger 15 Messrs. Phelps and March still find it im­possible to leave the Normal class of '06, and be content with their lot as University Freshmen. It is due to this fact they so nobly defended the old gold on Monday and thereby not only saved the day for the Seniors but also won added renown for them­selves. The deep regret, the bitter shame, As this semester now I meet, I must do my work all o'er again, Or just acknowledge my defeat. JANITOR. MORSE HDW. 60. 1025-1039 ELK ST.

APRIL, 1906 No. 6 EDITORIAL-THIRD YEARS We, the Third Years, present to the public this portion of the April issue of the Messen­ger. Our Staff is: Roy Goodell—Editor. May McLaughlin—Locals. Hazel Horn—Thespian. Roger Williams—Athletics. Charles Jones—Boys' Debating Club.. WHO READS THE JUNIOR ANNUAL? A thing which interests us all as Normal school students and future pedagogues is the effort being put forth by Mr. Schusman, superintendent of the schools of Whatcom County, for the betterment of the lighting and ventilating systems in our rural schools- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger He reports that only about seven per cent of them are properly lighted, and only six or seven have any system of ventilation. This evil he hopes to have practically overcome in five years. Let us hope other counties will follow Whatcom's example. The only thing which the Juniors and Seniors have thrown at each since the first of the year is the old hackneyed expression, "Originality." We hold that neither are very original unless they can think of something new. A most modest issue was the Junior Mes­senger! Poor little creatures; how delicate of other people's feelings they were? If you have been "slammed" in our issue, we can only say ' 'slamback.'' How very considerate! One would really expect though, to find some­thing after such a statement, but in vain have we searched, unless it is meant as a sort of an apology for the article begin­ning with these words: "Never in the history of the Bellingham Normal has that institu­tion had so many talented young men and women enrolled in one class" (the Junior class). This, indeed, might need an apology if the ridiculousness of the statement were not so self evident to the reader of the Mes­senger; even though they know nothing of the class characteristics from daily contact. Considerate Juniors don't feel so serious, for the public know well the old saying, "Who knowth not his own bazoo the same shall :not be heard." THESPIAN The Thespian Society met Friday, March 23d and the following program was render­ed: Ladies quartette, "Kentucky Babe," by Misses Osberg, Sullivan, Gilbert and Myers. Act I., from "The Rivals," was given and thoroughly enjoyed by all present. The picturesque costumes added greatly to the ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger 5 rendering. The young ladies taking part were: Misses Wilson, Mansfield, Myers, Wal-strand and Williams. Miss Frances Hays, who acted as critic, complimented them high­ly. If you wish to enjoy an hour, visit the Thespians and see the strong work which they are doing. LOCALS Mr. Wilson, on his return from Seattle, gave the students an interesting talk about the Chinese. Everyone seemed glad when Mr. Wilson returned, for it was learned the Junior's prophecy had come true, but we see their minds have been restored to their normal conditions. Miss Montgomery addressed teacher's institute a t Everett, March 13th. After the rehearsal on the evening of the 15th of March, Miss Hogle delightfully sur­prised the Third Year class by giving them a "spread." Miss Eva Myers will leave school the first of April and go teaching. The old proverb, "When a man gets married his troubles begin," was broken for Dr. Bowman's have already begun. His house, on the corner of Ivy and Indian streets burned March 11th. The greatest loss was the furniture stored away for future use. An address was given in assembly by Mr. Forrest on, "Life Saving Stations." The Third Year class will make a practical illus­tration of Mr. Forrest's suggestions by tak­ing a trip, in the near future, to some of the islands. Everyone enjoyed the program given in assembly by a few members of the Oral Ex­pression class. Those taking part were: Miss Ethel Cook, Miss Nord and Miss Eva Myers. Miss Hogle went to Seattle to see the ex- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger hibits of the "Arts and Crafts Association" and to inspect the work of the public schools of that city. Dr. Mathes has returned from his trip to Eastern Washington. The old saying that the Third Years never do things by halves is still good. Their St. Patrick's reception given March 19 was one of the most enjoyable social functions of the season. Even Demosthenes of old awoke and attired himself in green for the occasion. The guests were first taken to the auditorium where the following program was rendered: Piano Solo Ethel Cook *-* e-™" is, ssr^ssr"1 Recitation Ina Long Male Ouartette JR o y G o o d e l l gt; L e o n Cory Male quartette j M r T i b b l e S ) H F S m i th Piano Duet Misses Smith Vocal Solo Eva Myers Farce "An Interrupted Proposal" Class Song. After the program the guests dispersed to the different rooms, where they were enter­tained by the class. Ice cream and cake was served. The Third Years are going to have a good time. A trip to the islands and a moonlight excursion are now being planned. Our former Editor-in-Chief, Miss Sarah Van Reypen, is now teaching at Albian. The best wishes of the entire school go with her in her new vocation. Many of the students went to their re­spective homes during vacation, but are all back again "hard at work." A picnic is being planned by a committee made up of students and faculty for the en­tire Normal Schools. This outing is to be at Glacier. Every body is expecting to have a glorious, good time. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 7 ---------- The Normal Messenger 7 ATHLETICS BOYS' BASKET BALL TEAM TOP ROW: Cory, Forward; Nichols, Guard; Pethran, Forward; Scannell, Mgr. BOTTOM Row: Foerschler, Forward; Goodell, Center; Williams, Guard. The basketball season is over and the boys will no longer be seen at their practice. The team was the best that ever represented this school; and the boys were very much disappointed in not being able to secure games with some other Sound teams. How­ever, out of the six games played they were never defeated. Five players were selected at the beginning of the year, and all held their position through to the last game. Never before has so much interest been mani­fest by both the students and faculty. The last game was played between the Third Year class team and the High School reg­ular team, and was for the purpose of prov­ing to the High School, t h a t although the Third Year class had been ruled out of the Doig Cup contests they had a team which could defeat anything in the city. The score at the end of the game stood 18 to 14 in favor of the Third Years and the High School went home real­izing that they had met with defeat three times at the hands of the Normal boys. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Normal Messenger Much interest is being displayed in the Kline Cup contests. Out of the five teams competing, the cup now lies between three: the Second Years, Juniors and Seniors. Two more games will decide who shall win the cup and the championship of the school. Al­though nothing positive can be stated it is generally believed, by close followers of the games, that either the Juniors or Seniors will win. The Second Years have been defeated by both of the other teams. In the last games the Juniors won from the Second Years with a score of 18 to 9 and the First Years, after having lost the game by default, won from the Seniors with a score of 6 to 5. This is the second time the First Years have lost by default, and afterwards won the game. The first time was with the Juniors. TENNIS The interest in tennis is awakening and as soon as the courts are in condition a large number of students will spend their leisure moments in the open air instead of in the gymnasium. BASE BALL Now that the basket ball season is com­ing to a close and the bright spring days are here, the boys are turning their attention to base ball. Several of last year's players are back, and some very valuable new material has come in. Williams, Nichols, Petheram and Goodell are old men, tried out, and made very good with the Normal last year. With this material the boys expect to turn out a team which will hold its own with any in the city. The only thing which will hamper the success of the boys will be the lack of grounds upon which to do their practice work. Nine of the Gammua Phis who were stranded in Bellingham during vacation were delightfully entertained at the summer home of Miss Helen Miller at Rusticana on Lake Whatcom. On Saturday morning, laden with blankets and provisions, the girls wended their way to "Chapless Camp," where they re­mained till Monday evening. Canoeing and dancing filled the fleeting hours. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 BOYS' DEBATING CLUB The Young Men's Debating Club, which was organized a little over a year ago by about a dozen young men, now includes in its membership all of the boys in the Normal and is known as one of the strongest, if not the strongest, literary society in the school. The boys exert every energy in order to make their meetings interesting and lively as well as instructive. Their meetings are open to the public and are generally quite well attended by the rest of the student body. During the next month a number of the members of the faculty have consented to address the club on different subjects which will add new interest to the programs. On Thursday evening, March 29, the fol­lowing officers took their offices for a term of two months and afterwards a very enthusi­astic and interesting program was rendered, although a number of the members on the program were absent on account of the vaca­tion over Friday and Monday: Pesident, Chas. D. Jones; Vice-President, H. E. Bloyd; Secretary and Treasurer, Ray Smith; Sar-geant- at-arms, Paul Petheran; Program Committee, A. Robinson, R. Goodell and A. Anderson. Following is the program as rendered: Dialect recitation Magnus Peterson An interesting paper on Current Events R. Goodell Debate: Resolved, that the Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution has been affirmed. Affirmative, E. Johnson and P. Scannel. Negative, R. C. Tibbels and H. F. Smith. The decision of the judges was rendered two to one in favor of the negative. After the debate E. A. Foerschler, Benton McClure, and Walter Nichols were called upon by the president to make impromptu speeches on topics of present interest to the public, which they handled with considerable skill, producing much laughter in the audience. At the business meeting Messrs. Fred ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 10 ---------- 16 The Normal Messeriget Johnson and H. E. Bloyd were unanimously chosen to take up the debate which is to be part of the program to be given sometime the last week of school by the classes in oral expression. The program will consist of a dramatical contest and this debate. THE CLASS OF 1911 EDITORIAL-FIRST YEARS In this, the April issue of the Messenger, we the First Years will endeavor to make this, our portion of the paper, as interesting as possible. Our Staff is: Bessie Stanton—Editor. Ruby Moss—Y. W. C. A. Olive Kale—Alkisiah. LOCALS We are very sorry to say that Carrie Smith, our president and basket ball manager has left school. The Misses Baldwin, Cowden, Hall and Finch were very cordially welcomed as mem­bers of our class this second semester. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger 11 ALKLSIAH By the work which the Alkisiah Club have been doing and are doing at the present time, they are surely carrying out what was planned for them in the beginning of the life of the club; namely, to read, discuss and learn about the great problems and questions of the day. The rendering of the last three programs are proof of this. The programs on Juvenile Courts and Roycroft were especi­ally interesting and instructive. They con­tained some things which awakened new and deeper thought. The club has realized that "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," so we have planned an outing or picnic for the near future. At the last meeting the following officers were elected for the coming ten weeks: Kate Long, President; Clara Perault, Vice-Presi­dent; Dolly Jennings, Secretary; Olive Kale, Treasurer; Gladys Patric, Reporter; Annie Nord and Carrie Peterson, Consuls. The election of officers takes place every ten weeks in order that all of the members may have the opportunity of holding office. A hearty welcome is extended to all fellow students and faculty. Y. W. C. A. The Normal students who are obliged to carry cold lunches, appreciate the delicious cocoa served daily by the Y. W. C. A. They also enjoy the variation, occasionally, of coffee and pie. This is only one of the phases of good work carried on by the energetic Y. W. C. A. girls. We are disappointed when we heard that Miss Gage, our new state secretary, would not make us her intended visit this spring. She felt that her work was more needed else­where than in Bellingham. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger The announcement of the marriage of Miss Margaret Kyle to Mr. E. E. Barber, will undoubtedly be of great interest to her many young friends in Bellingham. The ceremony-is to take place in Cambridge, Mass., on the 31st of March. The steamer Slavonia, which sails April 3d, will carry them part of their way to Italy where the}' will remain three months. On their return she will attend the Gearhart conference. FIRST YEAR NOTES FIRST YEAR BASKET BALL TEAM Senior (talking to freshie)— "I've looked in two books about horses and one says the first horses came from Arabia and the other says from Asia. Now how will I tell that to my class?" "Well," answered the wide-awake freshie, "Isn't Arabia in Asia? " Senior sore distressed! Landlady (to her Senior roomer)—"I have just discovered that you have a sixteen candle power light in your room. How is that, when the rest of us in the house only have an eight power? " Senior — "We are studying 'Browning' now" replied the guilty one, "and I just have to have it to shed more light on the subject.'^ ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 13 ---------- The Normal Messenger 13 EDITORIAL-SECOND YEARS The motto "Launched but not anchored," could be very aptly applied to the Sophomore class. This, our second year of work, is near-ing its close, and though our class is few in numbers its association throughout the past year has been characterized by the class spirit and enthusiasm which is usually seen in the Sophomore class of all schools. Among our achievements in the social line was a class party and this we hope soon to follow by others equally as enjoyable. Our class officers which you will see in the front row in the picture, are President, H. E. Bloyd; Secretary, May McCrait; Treasurer, Mary Jacobson; Vice-President, May McCall. Our Editorial staff for this issue of the paper consists of: Editor—Miss Call. Reporters—Misses Wahl, Olson, Nord and /Rowley. Hurrah for the Crimson and Gray! ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 14 ---------- 14 The Normal Messenger CLIONEAN The Clionean seems to be the favorite society in the school. It is now the largest and is continually increasing in its member­ship. The society has done some very good work in the past and hope to continue the same in the future. The last two programs rendered were both very interesting and well given, consisting of musical numbers, essays and recitations. THE SIRIUS The Sirius Literary Club has been doing excellent work during the past month, and has made commendable progress in the direc­tion of the high aim which it has set. The newljr-elected officers have proven themselves very able in administering the affairs of the society and are by their example awakening much interest and enthusiasm which bids fair to make the remaining meet­ings of the year very beneficial. SECOND YEAR BASKET BALL TEAM SECOND YEAR NOTES OUS BASKET BALL TEAM During the first few months of school the Sophomores were a quiet class, and stood calmly by, listening to the noisy prattle of the other classes. By-and-by the basket ball fever struck the school. It is very contagious and the Sopho- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 15 ---------- The Normal Messenger 15 mores "caught" it. Previous to this, a great wind had swept over the class and blown the chaff off towards the Third Years. The few good kernels that remained decided that they would have a team, and they did. Inspired by the taunts we received, we went into the games with much the same spirit as our forefathers of Revolutionary days, and though we have never boasted about our team, it has made a very creditable showing, being the only one of the elementary class teams that could enter the final contests. The line-up is as follows: May Call, Rose Williams, Forwards; Annie Nord, Center; Frances Daly, Mable Spencer, Guards. The Second Year Class congratulate them­selves on being the proud possessor of a real young man. He is the only one of the "Sec­ond Year boys" who is true to his colors. The others seem to favor "orange and black," (striking contrasts are apt to attract child­ren. S. C. We regret the loss of Miss Wooldridge from our ranks. Cheer up little freshies Mother loves you 'tis true, But she isn't here to comfort you So please don't Boo Hoo! SENIOR NOTES On the evening of March 23, 1906, at the hour of 8 o'clock, the brave and learned Juniors assembled at the north door of the Normal building, where they were met by several "backward" Seniors. The Juniors naturally very forward, became in turn very "back­ward" at the sight of several stalwart policemen with vigorous clubs, so much so, indeed, that they mounted the stairs to the Society Hall in a very becoming and "back­ward" manner. The Juniors, however, soon recovered their usual habit of "forwardness" and although not all were able to "get their money's worth," yet they generally expressed themselves as having spent a very pleasant evening. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page [vi] ---------- ADVERTISEMENTS - = KERN'S = - PURE ICE CREAM AND CANDIES WE CATER TO PRIVATE AND PUBLIC PARTIES FANCY ICE CREAM FROZEN PUDDINGS WATER ICES INDIVIDUAL MOULDS PHONE MAIN 2SB1 11B W.

At that time more than forty new classes will be organized, including review work in common branches, classes in advanced subjects as well as methods classes in several of the common school branches. New students may enter as well in February as in September, and a large number are ex­pected for the next semester. The school is always able to find good board­ing places for all who come, and excellent ac­commodations may be secured for four dollars per week. Furnished rooms for light house­keeping may also be rented at very reasonable prices. OPPORTUNITY TO WORK The Normal School has always been able to secure places in private homes for all young ladies who wish to work for their board while attending school. At the present time places can be found for a dozen girls if there are girls who will accept this excellent opportunity to attend school at the minimum of cost. The school is always glad to assist students to find places where they may earn their board and room while in school, and correspondence is invited from all who are interested in further details.

CLOVER BLOCK ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 January - Page [3] ---------- THE NORMAL MESSENGER JANUARY, 1906 GROWTH IN THE APPRECIATION OF AMERICAN ART IT was natural that a European on his visit to the United States should have been surprised at the large number of paint­ings, by foreign painters, in private American collections. The traveler, through Holland, would re­gard it as strange not to find in the native home, the most representative art of the Dutch painters. This would also be the case in Spain, France, and Italy. He would look for the work of the native painters, and in looking, meets with few disappointments. What can be his mental attitude toward the American Millionaire who points to hie walls, crowded with "Corots," "Millett,'' and "Bretons," but with nothing whatever, or just a bare example or two from the hands of his compatriots ? Very likely the average foreign traveler concludes that there is no American Art worth while. But one who is "informed," knows the high regard in which the work of the Amer­ican is held, abroad, and he cannot but be puzzled at the blindness of the average col­lector (Am.) apparently so satisfied with the foreign collections, oftentimes the output of an inventor. There are in the United States alone many more pictures "by Corot" than he ever painted. Still it is perfectly clear that little by little, the fact is dawning upon American picture buyers, that they have a home product worthy of adorning their walls. The honors confered upon our painters, for years by the Old World, are beginning to tell; the example ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 January - Page 4 ---------- 4 gt; The Normal Messenger of a handful of earnest, sincere, art loversr strong enough to be "in fashion with them­selves" by comparative exhibitions, articles in Magazines, handsomely illustrated books, etc; all have had their influence. "We may also place the slow but sure ar­rival of certain American Artists, by the plate glass windows, t h a t line Fifth Avenue, in New York. American Art is dangrously near the point of becoming the fashion. It is all a natural stage of our develop­ment. In the past the good American went abroad to find out just what was going on in the world. While there he inquired about the painting that was being done. He visit­ed galleries and studios and returned home, completely under the sway of the great Euro­pean Artists. To-day the tables are turned. Foreigners come here to ask questions. And we are beginning to be dissatisfied with our answers to questions, like the following, for in­stance;—" Where areyour American paintings to be studied to advantage?" "Where can I see the best work of your men?" Now there are a few men in our country who, if thus addressed, for a reply, would not find themselves embarrassed. They have for years, been collecting the works of com­paratively unknown Americans. Content to be laughed at, satisfied to be judged by rela­tives and neighbors, actuated solely by mo­tives of economy. These men have lived to indulge in the re-taliative, "I-told-you-so." The Art Critic no longer hesitates to say that some of the foremost painting, going on today, is being done by Americans. The salvation, the opportunity of the American painter, lies in his freedom from tra­dition. There is in American Art the fresh­ness and strength of an Art t h a t is expressive of real emotion, real experience. The fact ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 January - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger 5 that the very atmosphere of the United States is not overcharged, and self conscious makes for direct, personal, and individual expression. C. 0. '08 PRELUDE A New Year's rhyme I've been asked to write; For the Messenger—whose shining light Shall guide the Seniors—when the June bells lay Shall send these fair ones on their way, So as a theme for this rhyme you see I have chosen the "Majestic Normal B." THE MAJESTIC NORMAL B. Its mighty walls for six long years Have stood the test of joys and fears And now with this New Year glad and free We will hail the "Majestic Normal B." She glides so smoothly on her way That her wind tossed masts refuse to sway For the Alumni both far and free Still hail, the "Majestic Normal B." Among her classes from ' n to '06 She sees some very naughty tricks But her colors are found to be most royal When any of these refuse to be loyal Or when her co-eds try her sore She never lets them win a score But she joins her hands and full and free Hails the "Majestic Normal B ." And now, Oh students' and teachers dear, Awake ! Arise ! this glad New Year And publish o'er land and sea The majesty of the Normal B. FIRST ATTEMPT. THE SIRIUS LITERARY CLUB The S. L. C. met in Room 71, on the after­noon of Friday, Dec. 8, since the Juniors were exerting every energy to make Society Hall attractive for their reception. The meet­ing was called to order by the President and we slumbered through the reading of the minutes. A short but attractive program was rendered. The number calling forth the greatest applause was the song sung by our tiny guests, the Primary Grade. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 January - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger THE NORMAL MESSENGER Published Monthly by the Students of THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Press of BDSON IRISH, 1311 Railroad Ave. EDITORIAL STAFF *ARAH L.

JANUARY, 1906 No. 3 EDITORIAL "Time and tide wait for no one," as a re­sult of this fact we are now fairly launched upon the New Year, which holds out to each * gt;f us its welcoming arms of opportunity and ^ood cheer. To a few, perhaps, the dawning of the New Year may mean but the ordinary ris­ing of another dya's sun, but to all others may \ t mean the rising of a grand new endeavor v.o be one step higher on the ladder of success, one place nearer the highest standard yet at­tained by man when 1906 bids us adieu. If the year, just past, has not been to each of us all that we had hoped it would, a brief .•;elf examination may reveal to us the fact that the fault was not 1905's. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 January - Page 7 ---------- The Normal Messenger 7 A SENIORS' "THESIS" SUBJECT: — OBVIOUS?

THESPIAN SOCIETY A very interesting meeting was held on Friday, Dec. 8, '05 by the Thespian Society. We had a few visitors who were very en­thusiastic in their praise, applauding quite freely. YOUNG MEN'S DEBATING CLUB The Young Men's Debating Club held its last meeting for the year 1905 in the Society Hall on the evening of Dec. 15. The program consisted of a song by Mr. Tibbies, a fore­cast of "The Future Careers of the Members of the Club," by Mr. Davenport, and a de­bate on the question, "Resolved that the Army Canteen should be Restored." After the literary program and business meeting was over the "feed" began. Fin­ally with three cheers for Prof. Forrest, the members went home and a floor covered with nut shells was left as a memento of the club's first but not last "feed." REQUIEM FOR THE JUNIOR EFFIGIES Poor young unfortunates, Weary of breath, Rashly importunate, Gone to their death ! Lift them up tenderly, Touch them with care ! Fashioned so slenderly, Young, and so fair! ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 January - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger On they rushed boldly,— No matter how coldly, The chills of the midnight Over them ran. Night in Assembly Hall And they must climb o'er all Of that cold iron rail! Picture it,—think of i t! O, the great risk of it ! What if they'd fall? Look at their garments, Clinging like cerements, Around the young juniors Suspended in air! Touch them not scornfully ! Think of them mournfully, Gently and humanly,— Not of the brains of them; All, that remains of them Now, is up there ! Lift them down tenderly, Lift them with care ! Fashioned so slenderly, Young, and so fair ! Ere their limbs frigidly, Stiffen too rigidly, Quietly, kindly, Smooth and compose them; And their eyes, close them; Staring so blindly At the class banner there ! The Seniors have allowed the lower classes to score several small victories in order to give them a little vigor and a feeling of in­dividuality. But as is the case with all "youngsters," they are likely to lose control of the spirit their elders are endeavoring to foster and they become inflicted with one of the worst of maladies, "Puerile Egoism." It is then necessary to administer a restorative. The last dose was given on the night of the Junior reception when for several hours '06 blazed forth in brilliant letters of electricity from a conspicuous place on the exterior wall of the Normal building. Verily, the "Junior Prayer" is being answered and the Seniors will "point out and light their pathway" in more senses than one. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 January - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Normal Messenger ALUMNI Mrs. Annie Raymond Stiger, '02 spent Christmas with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo.

Dr. Mathes, Mr. Forrest and Mr. Eply spent part of the vacation attending the teachers convention held at North Yakima. The stork visited Mr. Lull's house and left, a baby boy as a New Years gift. The facult and students extend hearty congratu­lations. Several University Students have been visiting the Normal during vacation. The new green house will be completed and ready for use in February. Among the new students who will begin work at once are, Misses Hazel Belt of East Clallam, Minnie Peterson of Cedar Home, Myrtle Auer, Upston, and Coney Deem. Several students who spent their vacation in town kept bachelor's hall at the Normal Dining Hall. Miss Stanley, one of the juniors, received word the day before Christmas vacation, that her home in Seattle had been burned. Mr. Stone and his wife entertained Prof, and Mrs. Osburn, of the University, during the holidays. Miss Sarah Van Reypen, our editor-in-chief, has been ill for several weeks. At the present-writing, however, she is much better and we shall soon welcome her back again. Miss Ethel Birney and Miss Pearl Peime will graduate at end of this semester. Both expect to accept positions at once. Miss Ada Hogle, of the Art and Manual Training department, was one of the instruc­tors at the South Bend Teacher's Institute,, which was held just before the holidays. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 January - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger ATHLETICS On December 15th, two Basket Ball games were played in the Normal gymnasium, be­fore an audience of about three hundred. Since the Editor of Athletics played on the winning Junior team, probably a clipping from the Evening Herald of that date will be most impartial: "In the gymnasium at the Normal school last night the first of the series of inter-class games for the Kline Cup was played before a large audience, and the Juniors and Third Years came off with flying colors, the former by a score of 9 to 7, the latter team (3rd years) winning from the First years by a score of 8 to 6. Both con­tests were well played, and the girls worked like beavers from the time the ball was first tossed into the air, until the referee's whistle put an end to the encounter. The Junior-Senior game stood 4 to 4 at the end of the first half, but the lower class team braced in the second half and won out by a score of 9 to 7, scoring five points while the Seniors were able to annex but three. Ella Johnson and Nellie Appleby performed the star work for the winners. There were no single stars on the Senior quintet, but their team work was superior to that of the Juniors. The line-up of this game was as follows: JUNIORS POSITION SENIORS Agnes Stanley c Clara Warriner Ella Johnson rt. f. Anah Gooch EllaPillman left f. Mildred Wilson Nellie Appleby rt. g Lena Smith May Sloan left g Leonie Nohl Ellen O'Farrell sub. Umpires, Seniors: Sarah Van Reypen; Juniors: H. G. Lull^ Referee—Miss LeConte The first and third year teams were about evenly matched, and put up a rattling good exhibition from start to finish, playing steady consistent ball. The end of the first half ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 January - Page 13 ---------- The Normal Messenger 13 found the score standing 6 to 2 in favor of the third year team. The Freshies opened the second half with a rush, and fairly swept the upper class girls off their feet. But their rally was of little avail, for the third years won by a score of 8 to 6. The teams lined up as follows: FIRST YEARS POSITION THIRD YEARS Nettie Bailey c Dolly Jennings Mildred Smith r. f. Miss Crews Artie Thrall r. g Tilda Musgrove Zella Foerschler 1. f. Dorothy Hughes Lorena King 1. g Eva Myers Referee—Miss LeConte. Umpires, First Years—Ethel Jones; Third Years, Leonie Nohl. After the game Miss LeConte entertained the teams with a spread. Sandwiches and hot chocolate were served, after which, the hostess was voted to be "all right, all right!

Although the Seniors were not awarded the Kline cup at the recent basket ball contest, they won much genuine admiration and praise for their upright and skillful playing. Miss Josephine Jensen, a member of our class, has been compelled to leave school on account of ill health. Our president, Miss Jessie Scott Cowing, spent the holidays with friends in Olympia.
