XIX BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1919 No. 5 PROF. HOPPE GIVES I At the Friday morning Assembly, Dr. Nash called upon Professor Hoppe, one of the members of our own Faculty, to give an address. Professor Hoppe began by saying that his students knew he liked to preach, and so he had chosen for his text "Ga­briel, Contented Locksmith" from the "Gospel According to Dickens." Mr. Hoppe pointed out that in Ga­briel, old and contented in his work as Locksmith, we saw the real artist. Art to some simply means some great musi­cian, with long hair, living a Bohemian life, or some famous painter or actor, but Mr. Hoppe believes that any man or woman may become an artist, instead of merely an artisan, by putting into his work the best there is in him, having a real love for it, and not merely a de­sire for pay, and by taking advantage of the opportunities offered in life. Sci­ence, roughly defined, is a formulation of principles that govern the subject, but art inclines to the human touch. Professor Hoppe created a laugh when he told of how in hurrying to catch an early morning train, he stopped at a lunch counter and ordered his break­fast. When the food came it was all right, but the manner in which the wait­ress had slammed his order down in front of him had taken his appetite away. I .ater as he hurried up to the ticket win-dew, he realized then why there were bars in front of the window, as the agent growled at him in such a bearish way. These two people were still only artisans, having missed the finer points in life. Professor Hoppe paid tribute to the mothers of the land by saying "In the mother, who day after day goes about her duties, sending forth the little washed faces, tying up the childish hurts, and hiding her own troubles and sorrow, we find the true artist." Theosophists tell us that they can see our atmosphere, as some have pink, some blue, some green colored atmos­phere. I have often wondered what would happen if ladies with clashing colored atmospheres got together. It seems to me that the artisan must be the man who is surrounded by dark brown atmos­phere, the artist the man, cheerful and happy, surrounded by golden atmos­phere. Going out into the rural districts, you will find people refusing to co-operate because they are not obeying the spon­taneous side of their natures. We as teachers have a chance to become art­ists, and go out to help awaken these people to self expression through the aid of the drama, music, and study. We are bored with each other. In closing Professor Hoppe quoted ' several beautiful quotations from Kip­ling, and Browning, and proved that the master characteristic of the artist work­man is to go on, day after day, re-cre- CnmmmttrattDtt ani (Emma?! Friendship maketh indeed a fair day in the affections from storm and tempest; but it maketh daylight in the understanding, out of darkness and confusion of thinking. Neither is this to be understood only of faithful counsel which a man receiveth from his friend; but before you come to that, certain it is, that whomsoever hath his mind fraught with many thoughts, his wits do clarify and break up in the communicating and discoursing with another; he tosseth thoughts more easily—he marshalleth them more orderly —he seeth how they look when they are turned into words—finally he waxeth wiser than himself; and that more by an hour's discourse than by a day's meditation. Neither is this second fruit of friendship, in opening the under­standing, restrained only to such friends as are able to give a man counsel—they indeed are best—but even without that, a man learneth of himself, and bringeth his own thoughts to light, and whetteth his wits as against a stone, which itself cuts not. In a word, a man were better relate himself to a statue or a picture, than to suffer his thought to pass in smother. And now to make the second fruit of friendship complete, that other point which lieth more open, and falleth within vulgar obser­vation— which is faithful counsel from a friend. Heraclites saith well, in one of his enigmas, "Dry light is ever the best;" and certain it is that the light that a man receiveth from his own judgment, is drier and purer than that which comes from his own judgment, which is ever infused and drenched in his affections and customs. So as there is as much difference between the counsel that a friend giveth, and that a man gives himself, as there is between the counsel of a friend and of a flatterer; for there is no such flatterer as is a man's self, and there is no such remedy against flattery of a man's self as the liberty of a friend.—Bacon. Monday Morning, Mr. Harrison Ray­mond, a former graduate,' and now one of the leading musicians of Bellingham, entertained the assembly with a group of beautiful songs. He was accompanied by Miss Althea Horst, a pianist of rare skill, and every number was appreciated. Mr. Raymond responded graciously to several encores. Dr. Nash announced that Mr. Ray­mond was to leave for New York soon to resume his studies in music, and thanked Mr. Raymond for the many times he has entertained the Normal students with his singing. We all hope that Mr. Raymond will sing for us again upon his return from New York. ating out of the plain and simple ma­terials of the day, something that is fine and beautiful; that we have been created not as machines but with possibilities of growth and develpoment out of the old past into the new future. The students showed their appreciation by thunderous applause, and would not be quiet until Dr. Nash promised that he would call on Mr. Hoppe again. HEADED BY MARSHALL The annual election of officers for the students association of the Normal school was held Monday, Oct. 13. The condidates for president were Gertrude Sears, Muriel Lee, and Harold Marshall, Miss Estelle Burnside being the only representative for vice presi­dent. Each candidate was introduced, and presented his platform. The ballots were cast for president,! the secretary having been instructed to cast a unanimous vote for Miss Burn-side. Mr. Marshall, receiving a majority of votes, became president. Mr. Bugge, the ex-president, gave his farewell speech Wednesday morning, and fit the same time conferred upon Mr. Marshall his newly acquired office. Owing to the illness of one of the teachers, Miss Anna Ericson did sub­stitute work in one of the city schools last week. School will be dismissed Friday, Oct. #lst, in order that the teachers may at­tend the Washington Educational As­sociation, which will be held in Seattle. Monday afternoon at the three o'clock period, Dr. Nash, through the kindness of Mr. Stark of the Stark Music House of this city, was able to bring to the Normal a concert which was unique in its kind, extremely enjoyable and highly instructive. Many in the audience had no doubt heard of the wonderful new musical in­strument or phonograph which Mr. Thomas Edison has but recently per­fected which he called^ "Re-creation" because it actually re-creates. music so perfectly that one cannot tell the orig­inal performance from that of the instru­ment itself. Under the direction of Mr. Lyman, who represents Mr. Edison, we not only had the pleasure of listening to a number of these records, but also to Miss Ida Gardner, whose records were used in the demonstration, and who stood beside the machine, singing in unison. So perfectly does this new phonograph reproduce that those in the audience were unable to tell when Miss Gardner would stop singing, unless one were watching her lips closely. The effect was weird indeed, and very beautiful. In introducing Miss Gardner, Mr. Ly­man said that she had received her mu­sical education in America and abroad, and had sung for two years in the Amer­ican church in Paris. She studied for the Opera and was under contract with the Royal Opera Company of Vienna. Later she returned to New York, and because of her wonderful contralto voice of such wide range, and her pleasing personality has endeared herself to music lovers of this country and is considered one of the leading singers of New York. The first two numbers, "The Long, Long Trail" and "Sweet Genevieve" were very much enjoyed by those pres­ent To show that this phonograph was not confined to the voice alone, but embraced all varieties of sounds, Mr. Lyman dem­onstrated his ability as a flutist, by play­ing a wooden flute in unison with the record, giving the number "Amid the Odor of Roses." He would pause from time to time so that his audience might hear the almost perfect similarity of tones. Next, Mr. Lyman put on a record of a speech which was recorded by this dia­mond disk invention over the telephone, clear across the continent. Dr. Hutch-ins, standing in the Edison laboratory in New Jersey, had talked to Mr. Edison, sitting in a Bell telephone booth at the Panama Exposition, congratulating him upon his newest invention, the Edison Diamond Disk Phonograph. Every word of the speech could be as plainly heard and understood as if the speaker were standing on the platform in person. To show that the instrument might be used in the home for accompaniment purposes, Miss Gardner sang "Home (Continued on page 2) ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1919 October 24 - Page 2 ---------- 2 THE.WEEKLY MESSENGER, FB3DAY,, OCTOBER .24, 1919 Organizations The Normal Glee Club made its in­itial appearance "Wednesday morning during Assembly, and sang two songs for us. It made a decided "hit" and we feel sure that this Glee Club will do much to help, along the spirit up here. Mr. Philippi had two fine Ford pic­tures to show Wednesday; the first, "Rough Stuff," or the story of the way Carborundum is made, and the second "Behind the Scenes in a Big Hotel." The latter was rather a cruel picture to show a hungry group of students just before lunch time, but was very inter­esting. A corner of Jack Martin's was a scene of merriment Saturday morning when fifteen Oregonians enjoyed the fa­mous waffles. After breakfast the girls, gathered in a group, sang a number of Oregon songs. The girls present were Oza Myers, Miss Moffat, Victoria Hus­ton, Olive McLeod, Helen Hawk, Doro­thy Smith, Lulu Foster, Edith Smith, Reta Guard, Christine Graham, Jean-nc. tte Graham, Mary Koche, Linda Koche, Hazel Harrison, and Vera Barnes. The girls expressed themselves as be­ing especially appreciative of the pres­ence of Miss Moffat at the breakfast. THE MAJORS' BREAKFAST Who said bacon, eggs, and buttered buns? The Major girls! Who are the Major girls? The Physical Ed. girls! On Saturday morning the Major girls were seemingly taking an extra snooze but, while others ate, they arose, decked themselves in hiking dress, and by eight fifteen started for the country with packets, parcels, a frying pan, and a tin bucket. This meant breakfast. It had been raining for two days and the fog was hanging low but by diligent search wood was found and the fire was made to crackle, under Miss Moffat's super­vision. Pauline Bornstein cut the kindling, Laura Haynes fried the bacon and eggs. Mildred Murray and Regina Frank were responsible for the delicious coffee. Florence Baker settled all matters of dispute. Agnes Clippinger handled the kodak. Irvene Lidstone entertained the bunch. All ate heartily and while eat­ing agreed unanimously that it was a wonderful day, a beautiful location, a delicious breakfast, a pleasant experi-! ence and one to be repeated. TACOMA CLUB Former Tacoma girls met October 16, to reorganize their club. Officers were elected as follows: Loda Mullen, president; Margaret Xitco, vice president; Julia Whitmore, secretary treasurer. A constitutional committee, an enter­tainment committee, and a membership committee were appointed and will begin immediately to lay plans for an enjoy­able year. It was decided to retain the name. "Tacoma" but to extend the membership to all Pierce County girls. Miss Boring is sponsor for the club.

Well, that was the Studio Art Club proving that it's pep was far from being ill, not alone dead. We met in our new club rooms on the first floor, and after the regular busi­ness meeting Miss Boring gave an ex­ceedingly interesting talk on her work in the Chicago schools this past summer. No one who heard it could fail to raise his standards of art or fail to appreciate what art is and is going to be in the commercial world. We would willingly have listened until the breakfast bell rang. We then had a very helpful parlia mentary practice and we found out that, good as we all are, we still have many things to learn before we can become regular politicians of the house of "Rules and Order" accoring to one "Robert." Beginning with December the club is going to take up regular studio work, in sketching and along other art lines. In this work the members will get the experience and knowledge that is not provided in any of the regular art classes. We expect to, derive a great deal of pleasure and enjoyment from these instructive meetings. The meeting closed amid the enthusi­astic yells and songs of the club.

This time we studied about Wales. The roll call was answered by current events, including the visit of the Prince of Wales. Miss Davis had pre­pared a paper on the history of Wales and Miss Hughes read it, in the absence of Miss Davis. All present joined in the song, "Men of Harlick." A very interesting and vivid sketch of Lloyd George's life was given by Gladys Hughes, who was dressed in a quaint, beautiful costume, characteristic of the Welch. The costume was graciously loaned to Miss Hughes by her friend, Mary Ellen Jenkins, of the Lloyd George Club, Seattle. The Alethians took a short trip to Wales by means of a Welch scenic book. Following a short paper on "Evan Williams" by Floetta Schmitt, we heard two beautiful records of his songs. Also Welch songs were sung by Miss Mc­Millan and Miss Hughes. Our program was further added to' by a short talk from Miss Woodard about the Welch chorus she had heard in Ohio and by a description of Gypsy Smith, the Welch revivalist, by Miss Gordon. Then came our game, "The Prince of Wales has lost his hat," in which many were destined to remain at the foot of the line because their tongue refused to say, "What sir, I sir?" instantaneous­ly. The winners in this game were Misses Jennings and Saline. Our wise old owl hoots, "Who, who" and we add, "wants to miss an Alethian meeting?" The answer comes back, "No one." PHILOS On Thursday, Oct. 16, the Philos had their regular meeting. John Settles con­ducted the Parliamentary drill. It was moved that all new Philos have their lives insured before Oct. 23, for on that night they will be initiated. An amend­ment was made to this action, saying that instead of making the insurance out to the parents of the new; Philos, it be made out to the Old Philos. Miss Lucille Sowers asked that a re­liable firm be recommended. Mr. Noel Wynne, the gentleman from Ferndale, immediately rose to the occasion from a mercenary standpoint, by stating that he represented a very trustworthy firm— The Muckatio Firm. For fifteen minutes old and new Philos argued vociferously until Miss Whittier moved that this motion be laid on the table until the next meeting. We were next favored with a solo, "The Sunshine of your Smile," by Miss Ann Davies, accompanied by Miss Eva Bond. Next time, Miss Davies, bring an encore number. Miss Hobbs read the Philo-Sopher. It was certainly well thought out and clev­erly rendered. The main topic was the party given by Miss Burnside, Oct. 11. Miss Gladys Weir, accompanied by Miss Neander, gave us two violin selec­tions. Then .came the debate. The question was, Resolved: That the best interests of the working classes would be advanced by the formation of a separate labor party. Affirmative: Miss Estella Burnside, Mr. Kenneth Selby. Negative: Miss Florence Bixby, Mr. Herbert Hansen. Judges: Miss Bernice Day, Miss Eva Bond, Mr. Orville Selgelid. It certainly was an interesting debate and showed careful preparation. . The judges awarded the decision to the neg­ative. Our critic, Miss Estella Burnside, gave UP some very good advice by which all of us will surely profit. UNIQUE CONCERT GIVEN AT NORMAL (Continued from page 1) Again" but instead of singing in unison, f he sang continuously a second part, thus literally singing a duet with herself. This was beautiful indeed. Following this the instrumental record for the "Barcarolle" from "The Tales of Hoff­man" was put on, and Miss Gardner sang the words in French. As an en­core, Miss Gardner sang a little Irish song entitled "I know where I am going" the program closing with the song "Lit­tle Road of Dreams." WE Make the class pins and club pins for the W. S.

Muller Asplund Jewelers Next to First National Bank ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1919 October 24 - Page 3 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1919 HOT SHOTS FROM THE COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT From San Francisco comes the news ; that Miss Josephine Lena Chiesa, nine years old, of Glemvood, California, is the world's youngest stenographer. This little girl became interested in the little queer hooks that her older sister, Vir­ginia, was writing, and decided she would like to learn to write them too. She was then only six years of age. Her teacher at school helped her, and now at the age of nine she has startled her in­structors by writing 144 words a min­ute, new matter, for fifteen minutes, and that without error. Aside from this little . girl's ability to write shorthand, she is able to spell and pronounce the most dif­ficult words correctly, and is very ac­curate in punctuation. Starting with a class of beginners at the University of California she has become an expert stenographer. Judge Reah Whitehead, of Seattle, was another prodigy, she having written 110 words a minute blindfolded, and reading back every word when she was only fourteen. She worked as a sten­ographer in a law office in Skagway, Alaska, studying law at the University later, and is now one of the judges on the bench in Seattle. Minnesota boasts a deaf mute, John Benolken, who became an expert sten­ographer, and takes dictation by watch­ing the lips of the dictator. Hasn't this •Minnesota deaf mute set a worth while example for the balance of the world, we ask? PEP is the power that keeps you on the job and never lets you loaf or quit. —Gregg Writer. v Mr. Isadore Shaffer, who is only eight­een years of age, and is private secre­tary to John Barton Payne, General Counsel of the United States Railroad Administration, won the gold medal offered by Mr. Gregg for the best writer in the 150-words-a-minute class, with an accuracy record of 99.9 per cent. This Mr. Shaffer is a younger brother of the Shaffer who won fame as the stenog­rapher and' reporter for McAdoo while Driector General of the U. S. Railroad Administration. Mr. Gregg says: "The question, there­fore, for you to decide right now, when you are 'being exposed to shorthand', is whether or not you are going to be a 'Fliver' or- a 'Packard.' You are the raw material plus the workman, too." It is likely that before long shorthand will be made one of the required subjects in the training for Aviation. It has been found that the aviators are able to make .. rapid notations of their observations while high up in the air, which would be , impossible in long hand, and it is found by experience that shorthand written under such conditions can be read with more facility and certainty than long- ; hand. Don't forget that the best prizes go ;• to those really competent in any line. We are reminded of the story of the author who had so much difficulty in finding a good stenographer, that he felt like the old lady who hated her son-in-law so much that each night she prayed: "I thank thee, O Lord, that I have not been guilty of manslaughter to-day!" The Dean of the School of Commerce of the Georgia School of Technology, Ga., says in a letter to the "Gregg Writ­er" : "I am sure you will be pleased to know that we have set a new precedent in the way of college entrance require­ments by permitting students to substi­tute shorthand for plane geometry as required unit for admission into the School of Commerce. This does not ap­ply to engineering students, since mathe­matics forms the basis for an engineer­ing course. Engineering students may, however, offer shorthand as an optional unit for entrance. "This ruling has been made for a number of reasons: First, because we consider shorthand as the equal of plane geometry from a cultural standpoint; second, because we desire to encourage the teaching of shorthand in the high schools; third, to remove a barrier which tended to discriminate between commerr cial high school students and classical high school students who desire to enter college; fourth, because we believe that the material value of shorthand is such that every high school student should be encouraged to take up the study." At the University of Washington this year, nearly one third of the total en­rollment, some 1650 students are en­rolled in the Business Administration Courses. The University of Illinois is the only other University with a larger enrollment in that department. GIRLS AT NORMAL especially thqse away from home, are in; a position to appreciate fully the Dependable Ready-to-Wear always featured at Wahl's.

The gym was decorated most becom­ingly in brilliant colors and autumn leaves. The refreshments were extremely unusual. They consisted of pumpkin pie, apple cider, lemons with stick candy. An orchestra could not have been more effective than the music of the lemons and the stick candy. The mixer was so successful that many whispers were heard about having more social times. The Seniors, at their last business mixer, adopted the Constitution that was drawn up by the constitution com­mittee, and the following offices were filled: Secretary, Miss Ethel Burkland; reporter, Ann Davies; yell leader, Will Beardslee.

The teacher holds the most important position of any one in- the community. She is looked up to probably more than even the minister. She is considered an example, not only for her pupils but for all the community. Therefore, she should carefully guard her actions and try by example to lift others up to a , higher plane. She should be willing, to a great extent, to give up her pleasures, especially those which might tend to debilitate rather than strengthen the character of some young person. A teach­er's life is one of self-sacrifice. She largely lives for others and must often give up her own desires to help others. She should not think how much pleas­ure and profit shall I get out of this term of school, but how much good am I able to give these children who are intrusted to my care, and also how much good can I do for the community. - Each day the parents put into the charge of the teacher the children so dear to them and trust her to help these children along the right way. No one, except the mother, perhaps, has so great HE influence on these young lives as their pattern, their teacher. It is in her power *o help build the character and shape the lhes of her pupils. It is their age of habit-formation, of character building. It is also an age of instinctive imitation co naturally the teacher will be imitated. These imitative acts will become habit and repetition of habits form the charac­ter. Therefore the teacher should act as The rank and file of teachers are be­ing aroused in a way almost unheard of in the past. Leagues are being formed in different counties of our state—es­pecially on the western side. A State League with a big program will soon be at work on a definite job. The Messenger is more than pleased to commend this movement, for it is sure to mean better conditions in the future. It has always been the opinion of this publication that when the teachers themselves get together for mutual pro­tection, strong cooperation, professional advancement, and a living wage it will come quickly. The league of teachers has a very legitimate field and one, too, that needs definite cultivation at this time. This paper is glad to give its pages and influence to the advancement of the league to the end of making the profession of teaching worth while.

M. L. A WORD TO THE THOUGHTLESS Anyone who has walked along our scenic paths lately cannot have helped noticing the unsightly paper and other refuse which has been strewn along Hie way, undoubtedly by thoughtless per­sons. It mars the beauty of our campus very much. Perhaps the guilty persons thought that because the foliage then covered the remainder of their picnic lunch or the discarded candy bag that it would never be seen, or what is more probable, they did not think at all. At any rate the fact remains. A HINT TO THE WISE We feel sure that it is carelessness, not ignorance, that causes some of us to be thoughtless and create disturbance by talking, moving around in the seats, and various other antics, while something is going on in the auditorium. It is true that perhaps you are bored, and not particularly interested, but per­haps someone near you is vitally inter­ested, and you are making it hard for that one to hear. We know that it is a temptation to be sitting near your best friend or "chum" and to have something you must tell her, or him, (not having seen each other for a whole hour) but we are sure it will keep until after the program. We can show no greater ap­preciation of the work of the artists whom we frequenty are permitted to hear, than by preserving an absoute quiet when they are performing. Those of us who were fortunate enough to have heard Mr. Theo Karle in his concert last week, will recall the wonder­ful hush that fell over the audience as he sang "Off on the Still'y Night," and the ticking of the clock could be plainly heard as he sang, and even for a few seconds after he had finished, so spell­bound were his hearers. He could not have been paid any greater tribute than this absolute stillness on the part of the big audience. Of course, we must make exceptions for very small children, but do not put yourself in that class, and remember that this disregard of the social conventions DICTIONARY USED MOST Miss Pratt Says Students Must Know Common Words to Progress "The dictionary is the student's best friend," says Miss Adeline Pratt, libra­rian at Manual. "There's nothing quite its equal. It may truly, be said that it is the most used book in our library. "In order to know words, one must study the dictionary. It is not enough to study the dictionary for a few days in school; the dictionary habit must be kept up through life, since education, in the highest sense, ends only with life, and new ideas and new words for those ideas are continually coming into our languags. "In learning a new word, the student should try to use it at least three times as soon as he can find or invent suitable occasions. "In order to make progress in his studies, every student needs to know at least the common words of the English language. He cannot understand his text­books without the knowledge. He can­not make himself clearly understood if he is. not acquainted with the works of his mother tongue. To know a work im­plies a knowledge of its spelling, its pro­nunciation, its syllabication, its meaning, its derivation, its historic development, and its proper use. "There is a right and a wrong way to use a dictionary and if a student does not know the correct and easiest way, I will gladly show him." —The Manualite.

Ada went home again this week, bring­ing back with her some more good things. A bunch of Normal people went on a hike last week end to Chuckanut. They climbed the mountain, visited an old mine and then built a large bonfire around which they sat, and ate a regular ban­quet. Grace was one of our number who went.

Collection was taken up among the girls and we patronized the "Highland cream- . ery" for the spread that took place in Room 4. That afternoon Ellen's motto was "stick around a while, girls" and as .! a result she treated us to "All-Day ' Suckers." But the Sunday luncheon .; was, as usual, the event of the week. I The girls in No. 6 donated their room to ,; the cause this week. The table was i' decorated with a Bluebird luncheon set and place cards.

There was once a Kessler who built himself a beautiful Castle near a green Sherwood. Now this Kessler did not want his Young son Wallace to grow up a Savage in those Ostel (hostile) woods; so he sent him to Franz to make a Newman of him. Wallace was delighted to think that he did not have to spend the Rau (raw) Winter shooting Hawks in his father's Woodard (woodyard), and then too, he had hauled his last Stapleton of hay. One bright sunny morning he set sail on the good ship Virginia which had a large Vandermast. It was a beautiful ship and Wallace loitered on the deck now and then eating an Olive, his favor­ite fruit. He noticed a large McLeod (cloud) in the distance, the wind began to blow, and the good ship with passen­gers and crew was in the midst of a terrific Bergstorm off the coast of New­foundland. Wallace was very frightened and thought surely he was going to Davy Jones. Soon, however, the sea grew calm and Wallace, again light-hearted, began to recite his favorite poem, Maud Muller. Suddenly a bright glittering Pista (pistol) was shoved against his heart and a Hardman demanded his money. Just then all grew dark and our hero had fainted. When he came to, he looked into the faces of the beautiful Countess De Graff and her husband, while their butler, Jennings appeared with a glass of hot lemonade. Wallace was soon able to walk and he went to Captain Mc- Ciellan and told how he had been robbed by a smart Eliot (elic.) The good cap­tain, after a long search, found the Hardman and had the strong Coleman throw him overboard for his Sinn. Upon arriving in Franz, Wallace im­mediately went to the University of Paris where he became the Main Center of attraction. He entered a Claassen (class-in) history and fell in love with the instructor, Miss Bolender, and want­ed to Hugget. One day he asked her to Murray (marry) him. She said that he was indeed a very Foley (fooley) boy and that he had plenty Ingall (in-gall). "I Willcutt my throat," said Wallace, drawing a knife from his pocket; for he was now very downhearted. Quicker than a flash the treacherous knife was snatched from his hand and he turned to stare into the faces of the good Countess De Graff Anderson (and-her-son), Kallgren. The Countess patted him gently on the back, spoke a few words of consolation and cheer, at the same time introducing her son. Wallace went with them to Clippinger Castle, where he spent many happy days, until he again set sail on the Virginia Bloedel Donovan Lumber Mills ROUGH AND DRESSED LUMBER. LATH AND SHINGLES.

Your friend, Vernon Broadbent. are being prepared by the architect. At the reunion our graduates should be bubbling over with helpful sugges­tions and I- propose the following as top­ics of general interest: Recruiting students for Bellingham. Small pay for teaching as compared with big pay for other lines of work. Cheap teachers mean low educational standards. Teaching no "blind alley job." Should teaching be used as a prepar­ation for life work in other lines? Many other subjects will occur to you and, as President of the Alumni Associ­ation, I shall welcome any suggestions you may have that will make our twen­ty- first annual reunion the most note­worthy in the history of the institution. Cordially and sincerely yours, J. WESLEY KAYLOR, President Alumni Association. The following letter to the Alumni of the Normal is self explanatory: October 10, 1919 Dear Fellow Graduate: In these reconstruction days when the teacher shortage is so acute and the at­tendance at our Normal Schools through­out the country is appreciably reduced it is time for graduates of the Bellingham State Normal to rally to its support and lo aid in a movement that will develop a bigger and better Bellingham Normal. Most of us are members of the teaching profession and that profession needs strong support at the present time. Al­though increases in teachers' salaries have come in recent days these have not measrued up to the increases in salaries paid for other lines of work nor with the increased cost of living. If a sym­pathetic attitude on the part of the gen eral public is not quickly secured our best product of the high schools will en­ter other lines of activity and will be lost to the teaching world. We must there­fore stand together in an endavor ot in-crase our salaries and encourage prom­ising young people to become teachers. We must also oppose strongly the low­ering of educational standards. ' Next May, at the time of the annual reunion, I hope that we may make the occasion a great home-coming of gradu­ates. The school now has twenty-five hundred alumni and a great percentage of tnis body should be interested in com­ing back and celebrating at the institu­tion its twenty-first birthday anniver­sary. Plans for the new Edens Hall are nearly ready and it is hoped that our next reunion may be held'in the new building. Plans for the new Library— another dream about to be realized— Roy, Washington. Oct. 21st, 1919. Dear Dr. Nash: I intended returning to Bellingham this fall but changed my mind. August 26th I bought a round trip ticket to Portland, Maine, and went East to vsiit my aunt. I left Tacoma Aug. 26th, going via the Northern Pacific. I had never been East before and my trip was very en­joyable, as well as instructive. Going I stayed in Nebraska one day. In Chi­cago four days, where I visited the Art Gallery and other places of interest. I spent one day in Buffalo and at the Falls. Then a day in Boston, visiting old churches and art gallery. When I arrived in Portland, I found my relatives and I was delighted with Portland as it is such a quaint old place. While there I visited Longfellow's home, and one day we went to Old Or­chard beach, which is the most beautiful beach that I have ever seen. I intended to stay in the East some time but I received a letter stating that teachers were scarce in Washington state so I returned to the rural school that I taught last year. I live at home and ride a horse back and forth. On my return from Maine I visited New York and Washington, D. C, trav­eling on the Baltimore and Ohio to St. Louis. I spent a few days in Lucola and a day in Billings. I hope that you had a plesaant trip. Please remember me to Mrs. Nash. Yours truly, Lydia Manchester Jones.

Newton McCoy, '16, is just taking up work in Boise, Idaho. He is to have a class for retarded boys and expects to have an interesting winter. F. A. Turnbull is principal of the grades and high school at Kahlotus. ;He writes "The suggestions gained from tfhe different teachers this summer at the Normal have proved invaluable to :ffie in this work. Educationally, Dr. 'Miller has meant much. Mr. Cole and Mr. Kibbe had solved in advance most oi my problems in Administration. My military training was made practicable lin the school through the work with Miss Moffatt. ji John A. Arnold, '14, is field attend­ance officer in Seattle and is enjoying his work. • '• Marion H. Andrews, '19, is teaching 'at Little Rock. She expects to leave for Cuba when the school year closes. She especiallc requests that her letter not /be printed or we would insert some in­teresting quotations from it. ' Frank E. Owen, '19, is with the Agri­cultural Experiment Station at Puyallup. ? He sends a $1.00 for subscription to the •Messenger so that he may keep in touch ^jwith "old B. S. N. S." I: Mattie Joslin ,'17, is teaching fifth vigrade.in a little oil town of Oklahoma. v Z. May Meighen, '15, county superin­tendent of. Lewis County, says that the fjB.'.jS.-;.N..-;-S.-alumni had a fine luncheon •iat the Lewis County Institute. She sends ^best. wishes to. the school. Tressa Middleton, '17, is employed in the Seattle Schools. She writes: "I am kept more than busy but as the work bceomes more organized it will lighten somewhat. I have the "Drawing" in a departmental system at the B. F. Day School. There are nearly a thousand pupils registered this year so they keep even thirty-two teachers rather busy in our building. I have fifty in a class and six classes a day. We have a two-day program so six hundred youngsters approximately, report to my art classes every two days. Some of my Normal art work comes in handier now than any I have ever had. "Nellie Dick, my chum, and one of your former students, is here in the Bag-icy School so we get to see each other quite often. She has the youngsters that I taught last year." Miss Meighen, county superintendent nf Lewis County writes that such words of appreciation as were heard in Lewis County for Professor Klemme should not go unnoticed. "The teachers certain­ly enjoyed his talks and there were many compliments on every side. We hope that we may have the pleasure of hav­ing him with us at some future date." Miss Beatrice Louttit, '17, is teaching in a school in Camp Lewis. She has the army and the DuPont powder plant children and finds the work very inter­esting. "Often I look back to the happy days spent in the Bellingham Normal, especially my last year with the class of 1917. I would like nothing better than to see another class as large as ours graduate from the old school." This week, the junior and senior girls began playing base ball, under the di­rection of Mr. Carver. Bellingham is famed for its sunsets but let us not forget the fame-maker's sister, the moon. All who saw the moon rise Monday evening were surely thrilled by its beauty. paper,—it would be wrong to call it writ­ing— did you ever stop to think that some poor creature must later strain their eyes over it? What to you seems' a saving of time is an immeasurable loss to another. Some day perhaps you will write a letter thorugh which your character will be judged. Shall it be said that you were weighed in the balance and found wanting? H. H. H. Glorious, inspiring music of old, in­deed thy pleasures are many and thy re­word is great. But as for thee, oh, ukulele, out upon thee. H. H. H. A letter to Mr. Bond from Miss Ruth Maryott, a former Normal student in­forms us that her former room-mcite, Miss Elsie Kilian is now Mrs. J. B. Russell. Mr. and Mrs. Russell will be remembered as former students of this institution. They are both teaching at Hoover, Wash. The school extends con­gratulations and wishes them a happw and successful future. Miss Maryott plans to return to the Normal next summer, when she hopes to be able to graduate. She is teaching at Kerriston. THE HENNESES - A letter from Ab Hennes '17, says that he and Dab are enjoying University life. A Whatcom County Club is being formed at the University and many former stu­dents of the Bellingham State Normal are interested in it. The Hennes boys are in the School of Business Adminis­tration and among their studies is Chinese. This would indicate that the boys have their eyes on the Orient. HANDWRITING AND CHARACTER An old saying is that a man's charac­ter can be told by his handwriting. While not entirely true, a neat handwriting is desired by everyone. In this day of rap­idity time must be saved. The result of this reckless' time saving is an abun­dance of disorderly and perhaps unread­able work. When you are rapidly mak­ing black marks on a sheet of white DIVINEST MUSIC The ukulele, that well beloved instru­ment of the aspiring musician, has in­deed the power to stir men's souls. What a torrent of feeling, of pity, of sorrow and of disgust flows through the soul of a man when a fair friend picks up the ukulele and proceeds to twang forth melodious disharmony! "Music," quote the sage, "hath power to soothe the savage breast," but alas, most fortunate man, you had never heard a ukulele. The wise and solemn judge was truthful when he said that poor biscuits were responsible for many shattered families. But let us no longer accuse the biscuit, for it is innocent. It's position as a cruel and ruthless heartbreaker has been usurped by friend wife's ukulele, for there is no other instrument that can implant in the hearts of men such a de­sire to flee to the four corners of the earth. Oh, the needless pain and suffer­ing in the world! Oh, the broken hearts that could be mended! Our sagacious lawmakers are doing their best. They have smoothered demon rum. They are appeasing women with the ballot. Keep up the good work, oh ye leaders of the nation, and take from her tne accursed ukulele! Woe unto ye, Hawaiians, Inventors of this base instrument! Woe unto ye, tour­ists, who brought it to our shores, for ye have placed a curse over patient men and worked destruction In our fair land. Bards of old sang beautiful verse to the accompaniment of the melodious harp. Even the song of the lowly anvil and hammer has been immortalized by poets of fame. Have these things passed: Is rag time, is the ukulele, the successor of this glorious, inspiring and enchanting music? Divinest music, may we ever listen to thee! In ages past thou hast been a consolation and encouragement to man­kind. Israel of old proclaimed their tri­umphs through the music of the timbrel, and David his devotions on the harp. Through thee, oh music, all men praise their Creator, the infant loves thy sooth­ing strains. In thee the downtrodden find new hope and life. Through thy beautiful strains the happy express their joy, and the dying their peace and con­tentment. Even unto the end, divinest music, we shall worship thee, and at last may we hear the angels play the song of praise upon their golden harps. "Do you call a man kind who remits nothing to his family while away?" said an actor. "Call that kindness? Yes, un­remitting kindness," was the reply of Jerrold. Sambo, who was at sea, says: "All de passengers was a heavin' and the cap­tain gave orders for the ship to heave io." An officer on parole was thrown from his horse. He said to a friend: "I thought I had improved my riding, but I see I have fallen off." A good-natured passenger fell asleep in a train, and was carried a few miles beyond his destination before he awoke. "Pretty good joke on you, wasn't it" said a friend. "Rather too far-fetched," was the re-i gt; iy. "Why do you lean over that empty cask?" "I am mourning over departed spirits."

He worked out his plans, and be­came the first'President of the Normal: That man was Dr. E. T. Mathes, and he has contributed" more toward educational advancement in this part of the state than any other7 mart."Dr.- Mathes held this position for fifteen years. On Wednesday morning the "'Faculty and students had the pleasure of hearing Dr. Mathes "tell "something of his experi­ences in war work withthe Y. M. C. A. in France,' England: and-' Italy,- and '• he held his audience spell bound for more than an hour, as he related'one thrilling experience after another. He took us with him through twenty four hours spentwith the-Y. M. G. A., frequently' ~ deviating " from "his line" of thought vto tell'of some other ^ experience that he would be reminded of.1 " I t was the-'most'interesting account of the war that "we 'have heard in Assembly,1 and everyone must'have realized more clearly than'-ever -just how much'the work of the''Red" Cross", Y.

"At that time there were only eight "Y. men in all that territory, where there were 275 thousand American troops in the British Army. After- three weeks, Dr. Mathes was -made District Secretary of this " northern British area.-' -The- 82ria% 33rd and;35th Divisions that were in this territory were'ordefed into the Alsace Sector soon after Dr. Mathes arrived there, and it was not long before the regular troops had all been-moved up to the front lines, leaving special units training for motor or aviation 'divisions' or some1 special- line of work, until the Y. no longer.! worked-with: ithev regular' divisions. " - It was no unusual sight to' find groups qf one thousand men scattered through the many small towns, and learning to operate the little machine guns, which was the weapon the "Germans used with* such '* tremendous force. There were three daily English papers printed in Paris'," and' these- were sent out by train to the various camps and distributed by the Y. men to the soldiers. One paper'was'a special editidh of the Chica'go'sTriburiey one. the"New 'York Herald, and the third the London Mail. Dr. Mathes said t h a t ih "Paris'there were so manjr dif ferent^papers printed gt;'(many times no larger than our Sunday School paper)','"and one 'would see a mari'pur­chase1'' aT whdle armful of them''for "a franci read" one, drop it, readv another, drop it, and so on, until the streets would be full "of p a p e r ."

He quite justified the "high expectations of those who thronged to hear him'.'"' 'of the Entertainment-Bureau for the sol­diers;: and •;he told of the hundreds' of musical instruments of all kinds that were secured 'and put "at the disposal of the : men ••'. all through gt; the camps, and of the wonderful help they were to the men. He also told•• of being able to secure Elsie- Janis'and her -company one time for five 'days, and' howiftne dough boys cheered1 her and- enjoyed" the wonderful entertainment she provided1 for them; although it made a great deal of trouble for the Y. people "to bring • Elsie•• and her lt;'"Ma" and'her -trunks -up to these northern districts;" Dn -Mathes • then told of how he was summdried'to the office of Mr.! Cartel the Chief of the Y. M. C. A. work in Europe;- and" asked; to accompany Mr. Carter and' his party on a-touf through the Northern area;•• -There were five in the party, all prominent men,-and after several hours • delay they left the Gib- Wlter Hotel - (which was occupied only i gt;y Y. workers) and'started on this tour in. a big Winton Six, which had been given Mr. Carter by friends when he en­tered" the war-work. By means Of a map Dr. Mathes traced the road which they followed, describing the scenery, the country through which they passed, ;a.hd the various experiences which they had."

Mr. Carter was very" anxious to find the man who was head of the'Y. work iri~ that particular sector,'but' after passing through five or six different villages, and encountering mariy difficulties because of the roads being destroyed by the fleeing Germans, they finally stopped at a Red Cross hos­pital arid had about four hours sleep on some stretcher's which were provided for them. They Had had some supper at a little' Y. hut which had been nailed up tight for the night,' but' they "were able to arouse One of the men, crawl through a: hole "in the back door, and enjoy a meal"bf canned 'beef," tea," and' a half of sliced peach, served from'cans "and lids of various kinds.• i In the morning "the party went'"on until' they' reached the' famous" Hinden-berg line," and here after paying respects to the Y workers, they -turned" the big auto' back and • started' on the return' trip!" Many times they were within sight of the battlefields, and heard "the roar and flash of the cannon, and saw the work "of destruction" being carried on, "•'' (Contmned'on page" 3) At the Friday morning assembly Dr. .Nash made reference to the recent mar­riage of Mr. Baughman and said in part:( "I am sure that the congratulations and best wishes of the school will go to Mr. Baughman, the popular manager of our bookstore, and his bride, a former stu- - dent of this school." , . Mr. Philippi announced that the reser­vations for the Theo Karle Concert might- - be made any time- after noon, Friday, and-that the committee were prepared to handle the long line of students it is expecting would be wanting tickets. .Dr. Nash read a telegram from Pro­fessor Klemme who is attending a meet­ing in Portland. The telegram read- as follows: "Greetings to President Nash and Faculty from the teachers of Klicki­tat county. Signed) Seilpha Wessel, Lydia Aernie, Mary Oakes, Mary Hayes, Gretchen Harm, Luela Edmonds, Lulu Golchy, Creola Wysters, Helen Clemens-.- Ruth Cable, Rachel Sharp, Alice Short, Bessie Hellar, Annie Shannahan, May Debord, Stell Johnson, Norma Thomp­son." The Normal school has been asked to observe October 27th of this month • as Roosevelt day. Committees will be appointed and we shall be only too glad of. an opportunity to honor one of our great men in some way. Dr. Nash introduced Mr. Guy Allison, a. former student of the Normal, but now a business man in California. Judg- •- ing from the hearty cheers that Mr. Allison received after he had said a few words " to the students, it is apparent that the students enjoy hearing from for­mer members of the Normal-School;- Mr. Allison said: "Members of the Fac­ulty, young ladies and fellow sufferers. (Applause from the male chorus.) This is the first time I have 6ver noticed that the candidates for election were not ready to spring -up and: be accepted by a brass band'when'their names were an­nounced. "It is a pleasure to get back to" a school which I learned' to love and at­tended " twelve years ago. I looked at things "a little differently then than-sl do now. I thought then that a senior" in the Normal was the very acme of wisdom. I believe "it was • in this roofn that ; I put a; plank in my platform that I could get through my'way on bluffs. * I think I succeeded with some of the teachers who - are now departed but I was never able to get by MissvWilsbn with a bluff.

'"• I' don't think that I would be able to im- ' press this thought upon the juniors and " seniors, much" less the lower classes, but "- T would like :to leave this thought with • ybu. 'Do that task well that is before "* you today, doesn't matter what it is.' - You young people "will*" have problems *- to face 'too." "When "our'little' boy startie"(-f*' ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1919 October 17 - Page 2 ---------- 2 THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1919 to school last year, we realized that in a very large measure the shaping of his little life came under the control of the teacher, and in the years to come you young people have more than teaching arithmetic to do. You have to be the one to turn wrong to right, to help strik­ers disarm, to determine the type of help in the community, and by doing this I feel that you will reach the goal, but he faithful to those tasks." Mr. Allison in closing mentioned the many pleasant times he had had while attending school here, and told of hav­ing spent some time in camping with' a friend near Lake Washington, in the summer of 1907. Near the camping spot there was a beautiful cove, known as Lover's Cove, and Mr. Allison frequently saw young people going there with their books, or fishing poles, but he always noticed that when they got into this cove their fishing poles were apt to be idle, and the young people were making love. Coming along the trail one even­ing, he chanced to see a friend in a canoe with a girl friend and upon arriving at the camp he sat down and wrote the following poem called "Canoeing," and left it in a book which his friend was reading. Mr. Allison then recited the poem, which follows: When the evening shadows fall On the lake and on the wall, And the silv'ry moon is rising over all, It is then the time to go Out upon the lake to row, Or to paddle your canoe, don't you know? For it's then, just like a dove, You can coo your note of love, While the stars are shining brightly, just above. Just for show you take a book, Or perhaps a pole and hook, But the place for which you'r bound is a nook, Where it's all so very still— , Just a ripple from a rill— Just the place to tell your love with a will; And it's there in that retreat That her voice, so low and sweet, Whispers just the words you'd hear, so discreet. Then, when home again you row, Why, you paddle—just—so—s-l-o-w, That—you—hardly—seem—to—go—don't you know? When the hour to part draws near, Why you feel so lonely—queer— That you want to linger longer while she's near. Yet, you both decided, too, That the time in which to woo Is a moonlight night while paddling a canoe. October 13, 1919. At assembly Monday morning, Mrs. Thatcher gave us two records made by Theo Karle on the Victrola. The first was a selection from Cavilieri Rusticani and the second "Her Heart." These were greatly enjoyed, and the Music De­partment is to be congratulated on hav­ing such a beautiful new Victrola in its rooms. Mr. Philippi announced that the stu­dents should be in their seats by at least 8:15, and urged those who could to come early so as to facilitate the seating of the large number of people who are coming from down town to attend the concert. Dr. Nash read a letter from Mr. Frank C. Jackson of Spokane, who is in charge of the Roosevelt Memorial plans for this state, and at the request of Mr. Jackson, Dr. Nash appointed Will Beardsley as chairman of a committee to work up some plans for our part in the Roosevelt Memorial. Dr. Nash announced that Dr. Mathes, who for fifteen years was president of the Normal, would speak to the students Wednesday morning about his experi­ences over seas. „ Mr. Kenneth Heun was then intro­duced, and he played a number of selec­tions on the piano which were greatly enjoyed. Mr. Heun has but recently re­turned from the Marine Corps, but never theless if the applause he received was an evidence of the appreciation, it is hard to tell what would have happened had he been at his best. Dr. Nash urged the presence of every­one of the students at Monday morning assemblies, and Mrs. Thatcher promises, that we are to have many fine musical treats from now on. 31st ANNIVERSARY SALE Is making itself more conspicuous each day, every department contributes liberal­ly— 16 of them and all chock full of new fall and winter merchandise of quality.

Mr. Heun has recently returned from service in the marine corps. Dr. Nash in an address to the stu­dents, spoke most highly of the Roose­velt memorial campaign which is being started. Dr. Nash appointed Will Beardsley as an under graduate repre­sentative from our Normal school. Miss Barbara Shield and Miss Mar­garet Zurbrich made an inter-church world campaign in a community in Skag­it county Saturday. Mrs. Thatcher has arranged for a num­ber of musical entertainments for the morning assemblies. No one can afford to be absent from the coming assemblies. . There are many vacant chairs at the dormitory on Saturdays and Sundays, as many girls have the pleasure, which we all long for, of going home for the week ends. There were mnay disappointed "Sage-brushers" Saturday morning when they awoke and beheld a Bellingham "down­pour," a picnic having been planned for Friday evening. It was indefinitely" postponed. Guy Allison, a former Bellingham Normal student, was a visitor at the Normal last week. He delivered a very interesting talk at assembly Wednesday morning. Mr. Allison is engaged in business in San Francisco, Calif., at the present time. Miss Emily Anderson, who teaches the intermediate grades at Avon, was the week end guest of Miss Muriel Young. Miss Anna Davies spent the week end at her home in Black Diamond. The junior class has divided into three groups of seventy-five each. Each group will give entertainments separately. Miss Baker gave a very interesting talk to her Nature Study classes on "The Bird Sanctuary," which she hopes to es­tablish on the Normal campus. She said that at her home in the east a sanctuary was started, which greatly added to the beauty and cheerfulness of their home. The yard was filled with trees, flowers and shrubbery, where many species of birds nested and sang. The birds became very tame and ate crumbs from the yard. Little fish swimming in the pond also ate crumbs thrown to them. Miss Baker said that anyone who has interest, enthusiasm and determination may succeed in this work. At the assembly hour, Wednesday, the student body and the Training De­partment were delightfully entertained by the interesting motion pictures. A party of girls went to Whatcom Falls Sunday afternoon. They took a picnic supper, and after exploring the paths along the creek and around the lake, they ate in the park. The girls were Amelia Roote, Mamie Bogdonoff, Alice McKee, Margaret Eckart, and Frances Smith. All reported a pleasant time. Misses Sadie Hembree and Anna Libby, former B. S. N. S. students, are] now teaching school in Cowlitz County, Washington. The annual junior "mixer" was given last Saturday evening at the school gym­nasium. Various games were played. About three hundred juniors were pres­ent and everyone reported a good time. THE LAST MESSAGE OF SUMMER. The dandelion's last pale lamp is lit In lowly places where field daisies blow. Over the wind-blown drifts of yarrow-snow, In yellow clouds the wild canaries fit— A farewell lilting thro' their softened notes. High in the faint blue ether swims the sun; The sweetpea pods are bursting one by one; The bees cling drunken to the pop­pies' throats, And oh! the winds are low among the ferns. A golden mist is shifting through, the pines, And grapes are pregnant with their stirring wines; But in the womb of summer sleeps the spring! And one lark sings, where yonder maple burns— "Another year another hope will bring!" —Ella Higginson. ^ • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • ^ • • • " • " • " • • • • • • • • • • • • • M STUDENTS Let the home folks know about your school affairs Send a copy of THE WEEKLY MESSENGER to your father or to some of your friends.

M. C. A. room of the Normal, on Thursday evening at 8 o'clock. The program for this session will be made up of several Welsh num­bers put on by the Welsh girls of the society. A merry good time is an­ticipated. OHIYESA Our regular evening meeting was held last Thursday evening. After a very short business meeting we had an ex­cellent program. The first number was a parliamentary drill by Faith Huggett. We then found our way to Mr. Cough-lin's room where Miss Beardsley pre­sented some very excellent stereopticon views of France. The program was con­cluded by a couple of piano selections by Miss Gardner. Friday morning a special meeting of the club was called immediately after assembly and we voted in a number of new members. STUDIO ART CLUB On Thursday, October third, the Studio Art Club held their first meeting at the home of its sponsor, Miss Druse. Although the club is not a large one, as yet, still things went off with vim and snap. Officers for the first quarter are as follows: President. Ruth Claassen, vice president, Ethol Lewis, treasurer, Namanee Sherwood, and secretary, Her-mina Haveman. Some of the plans for the coming year were then discussed, and over the choco­late cups and between candies and waf­ers, the strangers became friends as well as acquaintances. Many pleasant times are in store for those who wear the small insignia bearing the pallette and brushes. ALKISIAH It was proven after a Thursday even-ing meeting of the Alkisiahs that it does not take boys to make a leading club. As was expressed—boys only make lots of noise in talking—clubs are made of quality, not quantity. A very interesting part of the pro­gram was a Parliamentary Drill led by Miss Baker. The following excellent numbers fur­nished the balance of the evening's en­tertainment. The report received from Miss Avis Dodge, a former Alkisiah and the dele­gate to the Woman's Federation Club held at Centralia, was read by Miss Johns. We were glad to know that our club ranks among the best of the state. Miss Muriel Lee played several beautiful musical se­lections on the Victrola. An Italian recitation, "Two Mexicana Men" was rendered in a most pleasing manner by Glasses fitted, made and adjusted accu­rately. R e p a i rs made p r o m p t l y . WOLL, Exclusive Optometrist a nd Optician, 205 W. Holly Street. Miss Victoria Huston. The magazine. '"Woman's Citizen," was reviewed by Miss Lola Shepherd. These magazine reviews are interesting and profitable to the club. Miss Gladys Jensen took us through an imaginary trip to Yellow Stone National Park, as she spent her summer there, two years ago. We en­joyed this number thoroughly as many os us had never had the pleasure of witnessing those wonderful scenes. The last half hour was spent in "pep­py"' practice of club songs. PHILOS The Philos were delightfully enter­tained last Saturday evening by Miss Estella Burnside, at the Henderson home.. After all of the fashionably late guests had arrived a game was played in which their mental capacities were tried. The results were quite appalling. Vegetables of all sorts and descrip­tions were then brought in and each guest was requested to draw a certain animal. Miss Welch took the beautiful prize with her clever little squirrel; or was it a monkey? It really was quite hard to tell although it was very beau­tiful. But the most exciting of all was the contest between the I. W. W.'s and the Bolsheviki's. All former dignity and reserve were forgotten and the rousing cheers of the two teams could be heard for blocks, maybe miles. The captains, Mr. Herbert Hansen of the Bolsheviki, and Miss Bernice Day of the I. W. W.'s tried ot keep their, men in a "Normal" state of mind but it was quite impossible. Common sense and good manners won out in the end, however, and the I. W. W.'s were presented with a bag of de­licious, little red candies. To restore good fellowship, everyone's fortune was then told in a very mys­terious manner. Some were almost too good to be true! After we had found out all about ourselves, much to our pleasure, every­one enjoyed the dainty refreshments srved by the hostess. When all were feeling quite happy and contented, a group was formed and we had our pic­ture taken. Then, to save the good name of the club, everyone thought it quite wise to try to catch the last car home. It was hard to go though, after having such a good time.

In closing Dr. Mathes paid tribute to tht manhood of America, and spoke of how the doughboys were never too busy to stop and play with the boys and girls in the streets, and never for one minute forgot to be kind and thoughtful to friend and foe alike. He also mentioned the wonderful work of the British Mo­tor Corp, and spoke highly of the Brit­ish and French soldiers. After the armistice was signed, Dr. Mathes spent some time in Germany, and said that the German people had developed such highly scientific and methodical minds that they had entirely lost sight of the human side of life, and felt that the young people of America should continue to remember the human side of life in their search for the sci­entific side.

Miss Morse and Miss Cales are teach­ers in the Washington State Normal School at Bellingham. Miss Gertrude Longley is at the head of the Home Eco-onmics Department of the same school, and has been visiting her parents during the summer vacation just ended. It was the purpose of the travelers to pay a visit to their associate on their way to Columbia College, New York, where they intended to take a post-graduate course, but they were too late, as Miss Longley had returned to her duties in the far West prior to the arrival of the tourists. They, however, found a welcome and a chance to see Chicago in their three days' stay here. These young ladies left Bellingham six weeks ago. They have covered 3,000 miles of their journey. They have traveled alone and done all the necessary repair work on their car during the trip. Punc­ture number fifteen occurred on Michi­gan Avenue in Chicago. They had no serious trouble other than punctures on their trip. , All but three nights were spent in the auto in some camping spot away from the throng of travel. But the equipment of their car was more than the ordinary camping outfit found on tourists' lists. They estab­lished a new record for road conveni­ences. Their car was fitted out with all the little conveniences that could be thought of. Yes, indeed, the powder puff was in the toilet set that made up milady's useful articles. The refrigerator, the.water cooler, the lighting system, the small electric fan that was placed in the car after they had spread their auto bed in place, made the night's lodging invigorating and pleasant. The camp stove, with gasoline for fuel, the vacuum brush that cleaned their clothing before they reached the outskirts of the cities they passed through, took off the stains of travel and made their entry into the network of streets and avenues, one of joy-riders, rather than travel-stained overland tour­ists. Their route was through Yellowstone Park. They spent three days in cross­ing the great National Park. During one night, after they had set their camp in order and retired, a friendly bear paid BROWN STUDIO Klipsun photographers for the years 1914, '15, '16,,' '17 and '19. Our work speaks for itself, both in quality and satisfactory prices to all. BROWN STUDIO ELK AND HOLLY them a visit, but beyond sniffing around the auto, and leaving marks of his paws on the cover where he had taken a "peek" into the interior, he went away satisfied, and the girls did not have to hasten his departure with a shot from one of the guns they had carried in "true Western style. Roads, good and bad, were covered. The bad ones left the most lasting im­pression. Lincoln Highway, in the ex­treme western parts of the country, is only a name, according to Miss Cales. Idaho was marked off the good-roads calendar of the girls. "The roads through Idaho need more apology for being called roads than any other part of the West, unless it might be certain stretches of roads through the Blue Mountains in Oregon," said Miss Cales. "We did not experience any thrills en route that we would exchange for other knowledge we acquired on the trip," said Miss Morse. "We sometimes felt dirt-proof in our 'jumpers,' for yqu see we did not stick close to the conventional in what we wore on the trip. We wanted to be free, and we were free. The marks of hard days' travel soon melted away under our little 'shower' when we were fortunate enough to find a brook with water clear and plentiful. Cold, did you ask? Well, some it was, but we did not mind when we knew that the shower always preceded a good night's sleep with 'oodles' of fresh air, a satisfying breakfast, and an unexplored road stretching out toward the great East, in­viting us on, for you know neither of us had ever been in the Eastern country. "Our home was the most remote northwestern city in the United States. Our home was on the very edge of the western limit of the nation." Several very interesting points were described by the girls. The public camp at Boise, Idaho, where autoists could stop, rest and secure refreshments at the expense of the people of the city was commended as more than homelike by them. Another place that kept its eyes open for the convenience of the autoists who were touring the country was North Platte, Neb. Here a public bath was constructed for the sojourners. Camp­ing outfits could be replenished, and little attentions given the cars if they needed it. And many other small courtesies were shown the "strangers within their gtites" by the gentlemanly overseer of the public post. The Misses Morse and Cales left Sat­urday on their trip toward the East. They plan to spend a few days in Cleveland, visit Niagara Falls, and go by way of western New York to Albany, where they will follow the Hudson River to New York. They do not intend to finish their trip when they reach New York. The historic places of the New England states will be visited. This is to be a most complete tour, and if the car holds out for the fulfillment of the program laid out, it will be well into the winter when the girls lay aside their "rompers" and take on the more feminine apparel of students at the great Columbia Uni­versity in New York.

BRING US YOUR LIST FOR ESTIMATE Retail Office, 1615 Elk Street Retail Yard, Phone 433—Sash Door Factory, Phone 1257 Mrs. May C. Lovegren, of our facul­ty, has recently received a most inter­esting letter, which is here reproduced in part, from her brother, F. W. Grov-er, a lieutenant in the navy, who writes from the U. S. S. CI Sol at Philadelphia: I'd better start where I left off, so that I can tell things with some sort of sequence. I wrote just before I left for England, and I think I said we would go by destroyer from Brest. The trip from Brest to Paris is some­thing awful—one that it takes nerve to tackle the second time. And Amer­icans are supposed to travel on a special, whicih is v lt;iry lt; exceedingly rotten. So our little party of four decided to take a French train or bust. We "fixed" it up with a C. P. O., who was supposed to keep us off of the regular train, to look the other way while we sneaked aboard. After that it was easy, for the "Frog"— that's what they call the French— didn't see us till too late. We had a large compartment, luxuriantly up-holstez- ed. with center table, and every­thing. I struck up an acquaintance with a young Red Cross man who was from Charleston. We reached Paris just in time to race across the city in a taxi and catch a nine o'clock train for Bou­logne. The trip to the channel was a five hour one, through a large section of the western front, including Amiens. We had a couple of hours in Boulogne before the boat left, so we had dinner and took a cab ride around town. The round trip ticket from Boulogne to London cost us 35 francs or, at present value, $5.00 in our money. Can you beat that for cheap travel? The trip across the channel occupied about two hours. They say it is the roughest body of water in the world, and I believe it. We landed at the little c]ity of Folkstone, a very attractive little city with a beautiful beach and boardwalk. It is one of the places which suffered so severely from zeppelin raids during the war. On the London trains our tickets entitled us to Pullman passage, which, however, is nothing like ours. Their Pullmans are not sleepers but more like parlor cars with a tea table Jbetween each pair of seats. It was in the late afternoon, so the tables were already set for tea, and we drank tea and munched muffins like good Rom­ans. The late afternoon trip through southern England, lasting about three hours, was the most enjoyable car-ride I have ever had. We have heard so much about country life, you know, that I was somewhat prepared to see what I did, but it was far beyond my expectations. It was simply magnifi­cent— fields like well-kept lawns, hedges instead of fences, tennis courts at every home, and oh, what charming homes! You would have gone crazy over it. Then London. We arrived on a Saturday night. Took a taxi to the jFirst Avenue Hotel where some of our officers had previously been, and would not nave gotten rooms except for slinging a little hot air as to how highly these men had recommended the place. We had very luxuriant rooms with double bed and bath for eight shillings each, or about two dollars. After we had cleaned up, about ten o'clock, v^e started in quest of something to eat, and from that time on our greatest en­ergies were invested in the search for food. You talk about food scarcity— we never had a hint of it, and appar- FOR EIGHT YEARS CAVE Has stood for Pure, Clean, Wholesome CANDY AND ICE CREAM ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1919 October 17 - Page 7 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1919 7 ently France was never up against it like the English. We never had one square meal in the four days of our time in England. To be sure, they do not make as much, of eating as the French, or even ourselves. They do not seem to have developed the cul­inary art. Tea, tea, always that dawgonned tea, and jams and muffins, about ten times a day, that's what they subsist on. But outside of their national tastes the fact remains that they haven't the food if they wanted it. Sugar and bread are still rationed, we always had to run nearly through the bill of fare before we could find something which they had, and on two occasions we had to go to two res­taurants to piece out a satisfactory dinner. Those people have suffered, I tell you. We hit London at a very odd time, that is we had two holidays in succes­sion, for Monday was what they call Bankers' Holiday. And on a holiday that tremendous city is as quiet as a country village. Sunday morning we went to church at the famous St. Paul's. It was a monster building, won­derfully designed, but very, very dingy, as are, indeed, all public buildings in London. They have one of the finest boy choirs in the world at St. Paul's and we were greatly impressed by the service. After church we walked down to London Bridge and climbed the Monument, a huge shaft erected in commemoration of the great fire, affording a splendid view of the city, But London is not a place to sight-see, especially if one has just been to Paris, which completely eclipses it. About all there is to say about it is that you have been there. The city is huge but not attractive, it is dingy, dirty,. sprawling. To be sure, there are many wonderful sights but there is little that one would characterize as the "most wonderful." Sunday af­ternoon, in sheer self-defense, we went to a place called Richmond where, they told us, we might enjoy boating. It proved one of the finest experiences of the whole trip. We were about ten miles up the Thames, For the best, purest Candies a n d I c e Cream We serve L i g ht Lunches Make this p l a ce your home 119 E. Holly getting again into the wonderful country life. The river, lined with fine old estates, and filled with pic­turesque islands, was one mass of punts and boats. These punts, which are propelled with long poles, are typically Bngish. Their boats, too, a re odd—somewhait like overgrown O£M noes, and darned good looking. Ameri­cans could never enjoy themselves in the way those people do, because we have not the sense of repose, but it was a real pleasure to see those scores of boats, filled with refined looking people in summer togs, just plying leisurely up and down the river. One striking thing about England, and es­pecially noticeable on the river, was the large proportion of women smok­ing cigarettes. On the river the women not smoking were the excep­tion and they say that the custom has a tremendous hold on the country. Every boat had a little table in the center on which, they served tea in the late afternoon. Bankers' Holiday was, coincidental-ly, the fifth anniversary of England's entrance into the war. So they ad­vertised a huge river pageant on their beloved Thames, which, by the way, is just a dirty little creek. The King and Royal Family were to head the pro­cession in the royal .barge, etc, etc, so of course we wanted to see it. We inquired at the hotel as to where we might get a window and were referred to an address on Grosvenor Road. We looked it up and found a second-story window with a bridge on one side and a coal bunker on the other, offered to us or the reasonable sum of one and a half guineas (about $7.50) a chair. We 'lowed that was a little steep and wandered down the street, trying to break into some private house. But no luck. Just as we were giving up, a gentleman stepped up and asked us if we were looking for seats. He then gave us his card, told us to present it at the door of the agents for the Crown Building, and we would be given seats. The building proved to be one of the tallest in t h e place, just above the Parliament Building. This man, who proved to be a member of the House, stayed and talked to us for about two hours. The pageant was rotten, terrible. It was simply a long, straggling procession of punk looking launches. But the river was decorated beautifully and the crowds were enormous. Also we saw George and Mary and little George. Nice looking family. The next day little George left for America. I am frank to say, although without the least disrespect to the memory of Father that I am not the least an­xious to dig up any English relatives. I have never met an American who has traveled among the English, but who has felt a sense of irritation at the attitude of the English. I feel certain that it is unconscious on their 'part, but there is something in the cockness, almost insolence, of their manner, that simply gets under your skin and makes you fighting mad. And then to hear these English men talking like our ultra-sissies, and drinking tea, and wearing those fool glasses and to see the women dress like poor farmers, and talk with all ^h»9f%»*%*»9**0^9**9**9**9**9**9*»9**9^9*»9»*9»* If you bring your Photo Work before twelve you can get it the next day at twelve Students' Co-op C.

Their, country is lovely and I admire them for a thousand things, but I can't help but feel that they are immensely stupid, thoroughly conceit­ed, and altogether a people whom, in spite of our mutual language, we will never understand. The weather has been very nice but the mosquitos are impossible. I am working like mad for a, few days, try­ing to keep track of the thousands of dollars worth of property, provisions, canteen supplies and clothing under my custody not to mention all the confusion attendant upon discharging the crew. But the port crew, several of them my college mates, are fine to deal with, and things are going finely thus far. Ye gods it's a crime the way they are tearing out and smashing up all the installation made in Hobokenl PRELIMINARIES BEGUN FOR NEW DORMITORY The trustees of the Normal school met recently and they considered plans sub­mitted by Architect T. P. Doan and ac­cepted them subject to the approval of Trustee Thomas Smith, of Mount Ver­non, who was absent. The state attor­ney general has approved the abstracts of the properties recently contracted for to provide a site for the dormitory and foi other purposes. Registrar F. L. Olslager was directed to take steps to acquire the acreage, which approximates twenty acres. The board decided to call for bids for the clearing of the dormitory site, which will occupy with its grounds about two and one half acres. It also voted to call for bids for the clearing, leveling and draining of Normal drive, which prob­ably will be paved. The circle has been partly cleared. The dormitory will have three stories and a basement and will accommodate 120 students. The cost will be about $100,000. Clerk—"What is it please?" Customer—"I would like Ibsen's "A Doll's House."

XIX BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1919 No. 3 Contributions Begin Toward Lodge for Normal School on Mount Baker Thunder Glacier, Mount Baker Edmund S. Meany, professor of his­tory at the University of Washington, and the leading historian of the Pacific Northwest, is so impressed with the sug­gestion that the Normal school erect a lodge on Mount Baker that he has vol­untarily subscribed $10 toward the fund. In a letter to Henry Engberg, a Mount Baker booster, Professor Meany pays high tribute to the Heliotrope ridge and to Mt. Baker. Professor Meany re­cently led a party of Seattle climbers to the summit. His letter reads: My dear sir: Perhaps you have noticed that the University of Wash­ington is having a very large regis­tration. This prevents, my personal presence in Bellingham, also prevents my writing the letter I would like to write in urging the people of Belling­ham to develop the trail to Heliotrope ridge into a road. '», After all the years of my mountain­eering I am glad to approve the state­ments of our recent climbers that -that trail is one of the most beautiful forest trails in the highly favorable state of Washington. It certainly should be saved and, if possible, developed into a road. Mount Baker is certain to be one of the attractive show places of the Pacific Northwest, Bellingham is most inter­ested and should guard and improve that wonderful way to the glaciers. I notice the plan announced for a lodge on the ridge by the State Normal school and friends. Will. you please enter my subscription for a little? I wish I could afford to give a large sum but I gladly promise, within my, means, $10 towards such a lodge. Yours faithfully, E. S. MEANY. ' T A TREAT FORM NORMAL The National Grand Concert players appeared at the Normal Oct. 1. It was the first of its kind for the season and was an excellent beginning of the lecture course for the coming year. The main floor and balcony was filled by Normal students, and the public as well. The fre­quent and incessant applause by the audience is the highest mark of merit to be given this pleasing compan}'. Little Miss Lottie Louise Lough was "a treat in herself. Her selections, rang­ing from readings in Italian dialect to the song of the Chinese, all showed much careful preparation and we are expect­ing to hear from her again in the future. Unique was the portrayal of the Indian by Mme. Marie Irene Fernlough. We dwelt in the wigwam as she gave us the Red Man's songs, with her deep melodi­ous voice. Mme. Fernlough proved a most welcome addition to the program. The audience was raised into a realm of beauty and harmony, brought forth by the harp, with the soul of one who rejoices to speak in the language of those metallic strings. This remarkable per­sonage was Hazel Burns Thorpe. The other two additions to the com­pany were Grant Merillo, pianist, and Drawde Trah, violinist. These men showed the mastery of the technique of their separate instruments. Merillo and Drawde both deserve much praise in making possible many of the other num­bers by their unusual ability as accomT panists, as well as their own excellent numbers. Theo Karl will render a concert at the Normal, Oct. 13, as another of the lecture course program. Owing to the weather, the Faculty Picnic which was scheduled for What­com Falls Park last Friday afternoon, Oct. 4th, took place in the Cafeteria '"- of the Normal instead, but neverthe­less the Heckmann and Caughlin fam­ilies, assisted by the Domestic Science Department, certainly established reputations as knowing what was good to eat. At 5:30 p. m. a long line of hungry, famished teachers lined up at the Cafeteria and here they were given plates heaped up with delicious roast beef sandwiches, mashed iaix-rs and gravy, and two big ears of corn. They then went to the long tables in the dining room, where the salad, and ex­tra "fixins" were to be found, and finished up with big plates of ice cream, cookies, and coffee with real cream. After everyone was fully satisfied, the various diners were called upon to introduce themselves by giving their name, their birthplace, and nearly all confessed to having been born in the 19th Century. Later the guests went down to the big gym.where games of all sorts, under vthe direction of Miss Moffat, physical director, were enjoyed. First there was a game of indoor baseball, between the Reds and the Blues. It is quite possible that if the students could have helped root for this game, it might.have been a little livelier, since the faculty rooters seemed to have weak voices, but Dr. Nash as right fielder, Dr. Herre as left fielder, Professor Bever as pitcher might Deming Glacier, Mount Baker easily have been classed as professionals, not to mention the members of the fair sex who participated. In the confusion it was never fully determined how the score stood, and Mr. Philippi and Dr. Herre were the only ones' who made home runs. It is safe to say that a team made up of faculty members could put up a good game with any of the other teams in the county. After the ball game they played Fly­ing Dutchman, Slap Jack, Three Deep, and Cat and Rat. Mr. Heckmann as the cot used some football tactics that nearly broke up the game, in his wild endeavor to catch the rat. If, anyone would like to. know how to play Flying Dutchman, apply to Dr. Nash for first hand information. He certainly "flew." At a late hour, the weary but happy party broke up, and all hope that the uext Faculty Frolic will.be soon. . . . ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1919 October 10 - Page 2 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1919 Facility Notes Dr. Nash attended a meeting of the Seattle Board of Higher ..Curriculum which met in Olympia last Monday. Prof Klemme spent last week in Grays Harbor County in the interest of the extension work of the Normal. Miss Woodard) attended the Mason gt; County institute a| Shelton and spoke on '•Methods of Stimulating Interest in Lit­erature" and "Higti School Clubs for the Study of World Classics." While, there Miss Woodard met some dozen former Bellingham students, who were unani­mous in sending greetings to faculty friends and student body. Mr. Hoppe went to Point Roberts Saturday evening where he gave an en­tertainment to a large and very appre* ciative audience. The entire community turned out to hear Mr. Hoppe read "The Man from Home." Point Roberts is the most Northwesterly school district in the United States. There are four teachers in the school and all are Bellingham Nor­mal school students, while the principal, Mr. B. M. Samuelson is a graduate of this school. Three of the four teachers are residents of the Point Roberts com­munity. Mrs. Edna Samson read a paper on •'Why Parents Should Visit the Schools" at a meeting of the Parent-Teacher as­sociation of the Washington school. Glenn Hughes, formerly an instruct­or in. the English department of the Bellingham State Normal school, re­turned to Seattle yesterday, after hav­ing spent several days in this city. Mr. Hughes is attending the University of Washington and taking up post grad­u a t e work with that school, having grad­uated from the Leland Stanford uni­versity in California several years ago. Mrs. Harriet Jameson entertained Mrs. B. F. Yost and her mother, Mrs. Blau from Kirkland last week. Mrs. Yost, who was a former Belling­ham Normal student, has been traveling with her husband in Spain, Italy and Prance. She says that she saw many wonderful places of historic beauty, among them the Alhambra. Miss Mary Lee motored to B. C. Sun­day as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Bailey. The fourth B class from the training school visited the Ford creamery one day last week. Mr. Ford very kindly de­layed the process of churning until the arrival of the class. This was enjoyed very much by the children. A meeting was held by the "Sage-brushers" Monday afternoon and a hike was planned to Lake Padden Friday evening. Miss Lee, Miss Henry and Mr. Beardsley were appointed as a com­mittee to arrange for the "eats." Miss Helen Hawk was ill several days last week. Miss Anne Newman spent the week end at her home in Everett. Many Normal students attended the reception given to the pastor of the Methodist church Friday evening. A -number of "hikers" from the Nor­mal climbed Chucknaut mountain Satur­day. It was an ideal day, being just ccol enough to be pleasant for hiking The nature lovers felt thrills of pleas­ure as we struck the trail through the timber and saw before us the jungle of wonderful ferns, vines, and shrubbery. The gorgeously colored autumn leaves made a beautiful contrast to the dark reen coniferous trees. However, the entire party felt greater thrills when at three o'clock we stopped, built a fire and began roasting weiners and making coffee. • Late in the afternoon as we stood at Inspiration Point and gazed over the placid bay, touched with the golden rays of the setting' sun, we felt we indeed gained inspiration while on our trip. Miss Earheart, Miss Sperry and Miss Woodard were guests at the luncheon given by the Aftermath Ciub. last.Mon­day.

Their change of clothes is a strain upon them since the hew garments have to be evolved out of their own inner sub­stances, they have to' grow their winter clothes. They cannot sing, don't feel dike it if they could,,I suppose, and they slip cautiously by and shyly 'under branches and bushes as if trying to hide and ashamed of their ragged appearance. But now they are out again, and begin­ning to be happy and confident. On the warm mornings we have had re­ports of robin and song sparrow songs. Not a spring concert but a very sweet rehearsal. We have seen yellow war­blers, towhees, flickers, juncoes, chick­adees, pheasants, Chinese ;;pheasants, meadow-larks, sparrows, stellor-jays, pur­ple finches, a blue heron, gulls and others we were not able to name. I heard young red-winged black-birds practising their "u-ka-lee" down in the swamp by the beach. This is the flocking time of the birds and some of the most interesting and most puzzling studies are the innumer­able flocks of little birds that are glimpsed whirring from the branches and bushes, like a twittering cloud. ' •• (A report given by .Miss Sylvia A. Hardman, from her observations while teaching ..is of especial value, and I give it below.) , At Pinewood Sanctuary, Iowa. I have seen birds of various kinds gather at the cry of distress the wrens made when their home was attacked by a chicken-snake, so I am not so much sur­prised at this still further proof of "Cooperation Among Birds" that Miss Hardman gives us. COOPERATION AMONG BIRDS During my teaching experience in Co­lumbia County, Oregon, I rented a small cottage. We tried, to make this cottage is homelike as possible, having flower beds and two bird houses in the front yard. Many birds came to visit these little houses to investigate, but none decided they were good enough for them. One little family were: cozily located in among the large vine rose bushes over the front porch, others in the trees around the yard. A family of barn swallows chose the eaves of the house for their home of mud, but as these birds are not very cleanly, we destroyed the nest. And now comes the most interesting part of my story. No sooner was the nest taken down, than a hundred birds or more came to answer the cries of distress which .the parent birds gave. We never saw such a wonderful display of sym- 2 gt;athy. . Each bird immediately set to work to help build up the destroyed nest. Each brought some mud and con­tributed, until by morning, the nest was rebuilt and the parents were, happy once more. Needless to say we did not have the heart to tear the hest down again.

Thursday spent a very inspiring hour listening to Miss Sherwood's message on, "Trading with God." She reminded us that any friendship was a giving and a receiving, therefore we should expect our friendship with God to be the same. To be Christians we must give up all and follow Jesus. In return for our self sacrifice we re­ceive God's love, presence, grace and •help, and His answers to our prayers and eternal life as we are told in John ^M6, become God's own son, that' we might live. One passage that Miss Sherwood gave, which will be a help' through the coming weeks, was, "I can do all things, through Christ which strengtheneth me." I am sure no one present went away without feeling strengthened. If you are not in the habit of attending Y. W., get the habit. It only takes a few minutes each week. It will do you good to re­lax, listen to the inspiring messages, and incidentally get acquainted with the Normal's best young women. Remember the time is every Thursday at 2 p. m. (your vacant period.) Watch the bulle­tin board for the program.

We played base­ball for about an hour, the girls against the boys. Of course the boys won. Supper was then announced in the din­ing room, which proved to be a real ban­quet. Mr. Philippi presided at the coffee urn and our president, Mr. Oliver, at the head of the table. After a short time the president called the meeting to order and then turned it over to the chairman of the program committee, Mr. Wynne. The first number of the program was a recitation by Lucille Somers. It was well thought out and cleverly rendered. The next number was an impromptu debate. The question was: Resolved; That a square pole is better for a rooster to roost on than a round pole. Affirmative: Miss Davies, Mr. Han­sen. Negative: Miss Zurbrick, Mr. Bugge. The judges were: Mr. Ira Loree, Miss Ethel Chisholm, Miss Elizabeth Stuart. The debaters waxed very eloquent, es­pecially the two gentlemen when they gave their experiences with chickens. While the debaters were arranging for the debate, Mr. Wynne read "Philo Sopher" which brought bursts of laugh­ter and many exclamations. Miss Estella Burnside, our critic, then gave us some very timely advice. Mr. Wynne announced that Mss Re-gina Frank would be the author of the next "Sopher." Mr. Oliver again took the chair and read an announcement which was unani­mously accepted by the Philos present— it was that Miss Estella Burnside re­quested the pleasure of the company of the Philos and their sponsor, Saturday, Oct. 11, at a party given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henderson. We next arranged ourselves around the tables and played a card game with cards having letters from the word Philo printed on them. It was a most exciting; game and thoroughly enjoyed by all pres­ent, judging, at any rate, from the noise. The last thing on the program was a champion baseball game, without which a Philo gathering could not break up. Mr. Bugge was umpire. Mr. Kenneth Selby was captain of the "Boobs" and Miss Gladys Weir, of the "Waps." After a very strenuous game, into which every one entered with enthusiasm, the "Waps" won with a score of 11-5. We then adjourned after having given the winners three rousing cheers in a very sportsmanlike manner. !

Early in the afternoon they started out Twenty-first street for Chucknaut. After many delays by the wayside waiting for the interurban and freight cars to pass and incidentally try­ing to locate Pauline Bornstein, who should have met them on the way, the ascent began up . the Short Trail. The top. was reached much sooner than they expected, but once up much time was spent enjoying the beautiful views of the Sound, Bellingham, and Mt. Baker. The descent was made in no slow man­ner. They simply slid or swung from one tree to the next. The "lost Pauline" was waiting patiently when they reached the foot again. Not being satisfied with climbing the mountain, they started for Chuckanut Beach to eat their lunch. A brief stop was made at Inspiration Point, but eats seemed most important just then so they hastened onward. The fire was built, coffee made, beans heated, and weiners roasted. A passerby would have heard something like this: "Och! those beans are hot!" 'Who's through with her spoon?" "Oh good! Let me use it." "Do you want the cup?" "Say, I don't want a stick in my coffee." "Mother's cookies! I'm glad some of you girls live at home." "How did you make that fudge," "Marsh-mallows! that certainly was a great thought." While they toasted the marsh-mallows each one present gave a brief sketch of her life. About 7:30 the fire was extinguished and the girls started home, reaching the campus at 9 o'clock and all eager to plan another outing since they had had such a delightful beginning. Those psesent were Miss Moffat, Pauline Bornsteinj Bernice Day, Flor­ence Baker, Regina Frank, Mildred Murray, and Agnes Clippenger. Those unable to go on this first hike were Miss Wiflaims. Laura Haynes, and Irvene Lidstone. J BELLINGHAM DAY AT COUNTY I FAIR Saturday was Bellingham day at the County Fair. Many Bellingham peo­ple, and a number of Normal school students went to Lynden and spent a profitable day seeing the exhibits. . Miss Mary Wright, of this city, visted the Normal Wednesday.

The lumber industry' has been a veri­table gold mine to the whole of the northwest in the past.. Lumber today is worth from two hundred and fifty to three hundred per cent more than it was prior to the war. These prices are con­stantly going up because it will be prac­tically impossible to over-supply the de­mands that will be made for reconstruc­tion work. Let us then, replant our forests and use the strictest economy in cutting what Ave have left. WHY JOIN A CLUB There are several new students in the Bellingham Normal School who do not belong to any club. Their number is equally matched by loyal club members, only too glad to welcome new members into their circles. Any boy or girl cannot fail to be bene­fited by joining some club. The enter­tainments are always most enjoyable and every member does his part .toward making these affairs a success. The programs are really a good liter­ary education and the members are re­quested to help make them a success. Thus the talents of the studerits are de­veloped along both literary and educa­tional lines. In good weather they frequently take hikes which acquaints one with different scenes and the more beautiful places near Bellingham. Every school has its own spirit and life. The clubs are the great educators of these student affairs. After all how can anyone help joining a club! Jfhttan^^ -.WOMENS.

Practically every student seems eager to become acquainted with and be of service to fellow students. One may go to school feeling home­sick and depressed but he cannot remain that way long, because some pleasant student is sure to change his thoughts into more cheerful channels. The spirit of sarcasm and of "clique" found in so many colleges, universities, and even Normal schools, is absent from the Bellingham Normal. Certainly none can leave this school and say they have not attended a sociable and democratic institution. THE LUMBER INDUSTRY AND FOREST PRESERVATION The State of Washington is known the world over for its forests and its lumber, The. western slopes of the Cascades, and the river bottoms were all heavily tim­bered at one time. Owing to the fact that most of the eastern timber is cut, the eastern peof gt;le look to the west and particularly to our own state to provide them with the necessary lumber. When America allied herself with England, Prance and Italy, these countries imme­diately sent our president a call for aero­planes, and the spruce material which is found so abundantly in our state. To whom and where did he turn ? /.Washing­ton state and the West. All of our re­sources were immediately placed at his disposal. Future generations will turn to us this same way. How shall we supply this" demand? It will be necessary for us, not only to cut TRAVELING LIBRARY SYSTEM WILL BE LAUNCHED An opportunity will be offered at once l.o schools and other organizations in Whatcom county, through the county su­perintendent of schools, to obtain branch­es of the Washington state traveling li­brary. Mrs. Jennie Robin's office is sending to all the schools of the county application blanks for the branches. The blanks are to be returned to Mrs. Lou Gertrude Eiven. superintendent of the state 'traveling library,' if a branch is desired. Besides information as to who will read the books, and the like, there is a space in the application for three persons to sign who will guarantee the safe keeping and return of the books and the cost of transportation both ways. The . letter accompanying . the blanks which Mrs, Robin is forwarding to the schools contains the following informa­tion : , "The regular libraries contain from forty to sixty books on subjects of art, biography, essays, fiction, history, home economics, juveniles, music, natural sci­ence, poetry, travel, etc. Selections are made as far as possible to meet the re­quirements of the applicants. Any sug­gestions as to the contents of the li­brary will be given careful attention. Individuals, clubs, granges, debating so­cieties and other organizations can se­cure material for special study." In addition to these libraries, Mrs. Robin is preparing to.obtain another of about 150 volumes, especially for teach­ers, to place in her offices at the court house. Any teacher will be eligible to go to the office and consult and study these books, it was- stated.—Bellingham Herald. , October 6. 1919. 'In the absence of Dr. Nash,: Professor Bever conducted the Monday morning assembly. We had responsive reading, the Lords Prayer, and a hymn, and then Mr. Bever introduced Chaplain Reagor, who -spoke to the students for a few minutes. Chaplain Reagor has* the dis-tinction of being the youngest Chaplain in the Navy, and is visiting his father, the Reverend Reagor of the Christian Church of .this city. gt; Chaplain Reagor spoke about the ap­parently unsolveable problem that con­fronted the Navy at the time that Amer­ica entered the war, and said that be­cause of the necessary secrecy that had to be maintained in regards to the ac­tions of the Navy, the people of Amer­ica, not even the sailors themselves knew of the wonderful organization back of the Navy. Had it not been for the bar­rage laid down in the North Sea that prevented more Hun submarines getting into our waters, for the building of the destroyers, and for the system used in getting the two million soldiers trans­ported safely across the sea, it would net have been possible for America to have done her share in the' war, as she did. The camouflaging of the boats also played a big part in the naval /war-: fare. Chaplain Reagor mentioned the' fine spirit of cooperation that existed in America during the war, and in speaking of the restlessness that the returned ser­vice man often seemed to experience, he believed it was partally due to the fact that he missed the spirit of unity, and brotherhqpd that he had felt while in the service, and deplored the fact that affairs here at home seemed gradually falling back into the old order of things, and that the men longed for the good fellowship that they knew when they lived with men, fought with men and died with men. In closing Chaplain Reagor said: "As to the outcome, I am not here to say. No one can say yet. Yet I feet sure that this spirit of brotherhood that, has been growing in the country for a long time, must' bear fruitage in the land in which we live."

Emma Zelstra was entertained at din­ner Sunday in the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. Ossewaarde. Hannah Anderson and Anna Ericson spent several hours Sunday afternoon at Whatcom Falls. Bever House The Oregon Club enjoyed with their fellow state-men the waffles at Jack Martins Saturday morning. Those pres­ent were: Miss Oza Meyers, Miss Vic­toria Huston, and Miss Edith Smith. The , night before, the Misses Olm Johnson, Alice Nelson and Gladys Roach had been to the Methodist reception so they were not disturbed by the confusion caused at so early an hour. Squalicum Beach still has an attrac­tion for us even if it is nearly winter. We certainly did enjoy our plunge in the briny ocean Saturday afternoon. Nichols Hall Effie Madson and Esther Nelson spent the week end at the home of the latter near Custer. Florence Peth spent Saturday and Sunday at her home near LaConrier. Ruth Martinson of Allen spent the week end with her sister Ellen. Laura Bangle and Esther Olson of Acme visited the former's sister, Doro­thea over the- week end. Jane Murray of Anacortes visited Nichols Hall Saturday and Sunday. Serena Anderson and Anna Keating are sick but reported to be improving. Jenkins Apartments Inez Clark's chum, Florence Gwynn of Seattle, spent the week end at Jenkins Apartments. We are all looking for­ward to Miss Gwynn's next visit. Wednesday evening, of last week Cora Joe Phillips, one of our last year's girls, came in with her car and took Muriel Barbara, Ruth and Dora out riding be­fore the program at school. Ellen Whillams spent the week end at her home in Everett. Sunday .norning Muriel Lee took an early interurnan to Sedro-Woolley. There she met her cousin who took her for a spin over the country in his car. Muriel returned to Bellingham in time to accept an invitation to a large birth­day dinner down town. Clarks Hall House Mother Clark and the girls en­tertained Miss Woodard at dinner Mon­day evening. The most enjoyable part of the dinner was the cutting of Floetta Schmitt's birthday cake. Kathefine and Bob Barnum spent the week end at home on Camano Island. Miss Edith Lifvendahl, a former Nor­mal student, spent Sunday with Miss Clark. The five junior girls at the,house had a most enjoyable time at the mixer Sat­urday evening. We hope we may soon have another. Miss Hilda Woodburn spent the week end'at home in Anacortes. Her brother twho had just returned from overseas arrived during her visit. NOTICE . , Any one in quest of adventure inquire at Davis Hall for a little curly headed girl who never fails to provide excitement for a crowd. In one week's time she managed to lose a $25 kodak in Lake Whatcom, lose both heels while on the way to the theater, drop a tea bone steak in the sand at a beach party and then as a grand finale to the week's activities stepped off a plank into the bay dragging an innocent young man in with her. The more the merrier, is proving true at Davis Hall. We welcomed Nell Bromley into our happy midst this week. Now we are the jolly ten. The old adage, "Good things come in small packages," surely proves true in the case of our housemother, Mrs. Davis. Enger Hall Ethel Brown and Alice Hoover have been exploring the beautiful city of Bell­ingham. Saturday afternoon they hiked out to Squalicum Beach. Sunday after­noon they tried to see most of the pic­turesque sites of the city itself. They reported a very pleasant outing. Mr. Walter Moehring motored from Snohomish Sunday in order to visit his sister Esther Moehring. Some of the girls at our house have also been showing their love for Mother Nature. Saturday morning at eleven oclock five enthusiastic girls started out on a hike to Mt. Chucknaut. They climbed the Mount and selected a nice place to eat their lunch. After eating they decided to hike out to Inspiration Point. Those taking this pleasant trip were: Gladys Hughes, Jessie Moseley, Signe Flinn, Elma Orr and Esther Enger. Esther Moehring and Beth Stuart pic-niced at Whatcom Falls Park Saturday evening. Beth Stuart sought peace and quiet Sunday by canoeing on Lake Whatcom. KEMPHAUS m GO.

Fudge-making, singing and story-telling were the diversions of the evening. Those present were Misses Marie and Frances Anderson, Sophia Ruzicka, Helen Thay­er, Reta Olson, Anaide Myer and the hostesses. Sunday evening, September 28th, there was a birthday party in the house, but few knew of it for only one of us knew anyone had a birthday. Olga Heggem was the honored one but no one was able to find out how old she was or if it really was her birthday. However, Hen­rietta Welch said it was so they cele­brated. Misses Alice Neander and Helen Hobbs were the invited guests. The evening was spent in making and eating fudge and other dainty refresh­ments. Why do some people insist on keeping their ages a mystery? About half of our girls go home for week ends for they live in near-by towns. They are Misses Clara and Adena Callander, Eva Aim, Dolly Ginger, Mar­garet Carman, all of Nooksack; Lillie and Lizzie, Dunagan of Ferndale and Hcrmina Haveman of Lynden. ' The Sage Brush Society The most evident characteristics of the Sage Brush Society are pep and good-fellowship. An enthusiastic meeting of about forty-five members was held Fri­day, October 3. For president. Miss Marie Andresen was chosen and for secretary and treasurer Miss Bernice WTebster. Stirring tales of past good times were related and every "East-of-the- mountain-er" pledged himself to have the best time ever in the two paramount social events of the year. At twelve thirty Monday, Oct. 6 a meeting was called for the purpose of dis­cussing the picnic. Mr. Coughlin hap­pily suggested a trip to Lake Padden a picnic in Happy Valley. The time decided upon was Friday afternoon, Oct. 10. A committee composed of Miss Lee, Miss Henri and Mr. Beardslee was ap­pointed to take charge of the intensely interesting details. Every Sage Brush person is warned to watch closely the bulletin board for further plans, if he would not miss the pest picnic of the year. The Parker House A fine party was given on Wednesday evening at the Normal auditorium. The party was made up of the Rolls and Coila Parker who is an honorary mem­ber of our establishment having been graduated from this institution. As most other houses were as well represented as ours it is needless to'say how we en­joyed the concert. Excitement reigned supreme around the house Friday afternoon while Leta was preparing to go home. With all the dont's and do's that floated through the atmosphere we doubt if she remembered any of the precautions given her. The inmates of rooms 1, 6 and 8 went to the reception at the Methodist church on Friday evening where they frolicked as they did in childhood days. The suspense is over and our new sis­ter, Marie Bergerson, is well established in her new home. She came last Mon­day. Marie is from Everett. Marie also departed for other regions after school on Friday to return on Monday. Saturday evening we strolled up to the Cedars to test the culinary art of Rosa Kiser and Ruth Nyberg. Every­one agrees that Rosa makes delicious fudge and Ruth is very apt at serving. The entertainment for the evening was furnished by Henrietta Welch and Olga Heggem who played their "steel guitars" for our approval. We certainly approved. It took a lot of coaxing to get us all out Sunday but we finally consented to go to Whatcom Falls and from there on to the lake. Frances Fox joined our numbers down town. Ask any of the girls if they are glad they went. the secrets of the society and each new member was presented in turn to the grave old owl which is the symbol of the club. Miss Woodard and Miss Craw­ford, the sponsors of the club, gave in­teresting talks about the work done by the club last year. Plans for this year were discussed by the members. Read­ings .were given by Miss Lulu Foster and Miss Grace Watson. This concluded a very interesting program. At the business meeting held on Fri­day, Oct. 3, the following officers were elected: President, Miss May Ross Mc­Millan; vice president, Miss Elsie Davies; secretary, Miss Lulu Foster; and treas­urer, Miss Peterson. The program for our next meeting is as follows: Roll Call—Current Events, including vis­it of Prince of Wales Historical Sketch of Wales__Elsie Davis "Men of Harlett" — Chorus •'Lloyd George" Gladys Hughes "Evan Williams" Floetta Schmitt Welch Music Game—The Prince of Wales has lost his ha£. 431 High Miss Wilber left Friday evening to visit her parents on Vashon Island. She became ill while there and was not able to return to school until Tuesday. Wednesday evening the girls attended the concert, Miss Haysel Heath accom­panying them. They enjoyed it very much and were delighted with the music. Friday evening Miss Cellian Manberg, Miss Helen Lenhardt, Miss Alice Kinder and Miss Gladys Wilber attended the reception given at the Methodist church. (Continued on page 8) * _ « .

S. S. El Sol. Brest, France. 31 July, 1919. Before now you have doubtless re­ceived the letter which I wrote en route, and are wondering when you will be hearing that I have arrived safely back in the states. Well don't worry if you do not hear as soon as you expected to for we are detained here indefinitely. It seems that the army is not able to get the men to this port as fast as the Navy is able to furnish the ships for trans­porting them. When we reached Brest there were about thirty transports in the- harbor awaiting troops, and that number has now increased to about forty. The Imperator. Leviathan and all the other large ones are in here. The Levia­than sails tomorrow morning but they say with, only a partial load. We do not know" just what "indefinite" will mean, but have heard all the way from the 4th to the 24th. Several of the ships' officers, including myself have applied for another leave, for the purpose of go­ing to England, and at the moment I am awaiting word from my messenger to see what disposition is made of the" applica­tion. If granted I will. sail tomorrow afternoon on an American destroyer for Dover, and will have about five days to visit London, Brighton, etc. I'll prob­ably be able to let you know whether or not I am going, in a P. S. to this letter. Until today we "have had rather dull weather, quite cool, but with very little rain, and really great weather for travel­ing and sight-seeing. Today, however, it is such a day as you might imagine, would be the regular. thing in the Med­iterranean. With the harbor so full of great ships, and dozens of pretty little, red-sailed fishing crafts plying around the scene is beautiful. I have been work­ing hard since my return from Paris tak­ing a complete inventory of the ship, preparatory to putting her out of com­mission, for this is unquestionably the last trip. I am especially anxious to have things in shape for speedy transfer to the owners, because the senior pay officer-here is going to try and arrange to have my pay clerk and myself de­tailed here to help close up the Navy's business in this port. It is about three months work and if I could have a month or so over here it would give me an opportunity for travel on the conti­nent at the close of'the duty. gt; Of course there is only a bare chance of getting away with the thing but it would be a good short assignment and especially so at this time of the year. Brest has been made the butt of a world of sarcastic comment by Americans passing through, arid indeed it is not the most fascinating place in Europe. But it is, at the same time, a rather pretty place, and with a population of about 40,000, fairly busy. It is very old, of course. It is the heart of Brittany, and a large majority of the natives are real Bretons. They dress in costumes somewhat like our old Pil­grim costumes. The women wear little caps, tight fitting bodices, wooden shoes, skirts to the ground, and always black, with a little touch of color in the bodice. The men wear sombre black, with a fun­ny flat derby and velvet streamers down their backs. "The little girls dress like the older women and look like little old grand mothers, while the boys wear skirts; Then here one sees so many of the French Navy, with their picturesque uniforms and red pom-po'med caps, and many of the French army, so that the streets arc a very interesting display of color. My messenger has just returned and my leave for London has been approved, so I will be shoving off tomorrow night for London Town. It hardly seems possi­ble, that I am really having the oppor-tunty to see and do all these wonderful things, does it? But here I am keeping right along with my customary good luck. Well I must tell you something about my trip to Paris, though if I were to tell you all that I did and saw, I am afraid you would have to read this let­ter by chapters, for I never have crowded, so much activity into so small a space of time before. We left Brest on Tues­day evening, July 22nd, a party of six of the ship's officers together. We secured one of the funny little compartments on the train to ourselves—they seat just six. The trip is a 12 hour one, and believe me it was a hard one—no water on the train, no diner, no lunch rooms, and a flat wheel besides. But we didn't care, and reached Paris about ten a. m., jus rarin' for ham and eggs. Then we had our introduction to the continental breakfast. It consists of la cafe and petite pain, and neither by threatening nor cajoling could we pursuade them to give us any­thing more hearty. The French simply cannot comprehend how we eat anything heavy for breakfast. We ate at a little sidewalk cafe near tfie station, and then made our way to the hotel Grand Bret-agne, where Dr. Hunt, one of our party, had once stopped. Here we were intro­duced to another of the French oddities, that of signing on a slip your whole per­sonal history, even to the place and date of your birth. That information, I am told, is for the police. We secured very nice rooms with double beds and bath for 25 francs—the franc at the moment ex­changes at the rate of seven for a dollar. Their hotels are not unlike ours except that they serve no soap, one goes up but never down in the lift, and the rooms are usually hung with heavy draperies. They seem to hate fresh air. - After cleaning up we began our tour of the city, armed with Our trusty Bea-decker guide and cameras. As I say, Dr. Hunt had been there before and we had the advantage of his previous ex­perience. He took us first to the famous Arch de Triomph at the Place d'Etoile. This colossal arch was built by Napoleon in comniemmoration of his nuemrous vic­tories. From the top of the arch we had our first panoramic view of Paris, and I want to say that it simply left me breathless. It reminded me somewhat of Washington, but was far more beauti­ful, and of course more complete. All the buildings in the city, except the mon­umental ones, are practically the same height—about six stories. From the arch radiate six or eight magnificent boule­vards, principal among them being the famous Champs Elysees, and the Avenue de Grand Armee. From the arch we went to the Place Iena, where the Naval Headquarters are located, and regis­tered. There I saw a couple of my class mates and arranged to have a Navy car placed at our disposal the rest of the day. We then went to the Trocad-ero, one of the fine buldings remaining frm the exposition, and now a museum of archeology. This building is on the banks of the Seine just opposite the Effel Tower. . The Tower has been closed to the public all through the war, because it is the greatest wireless station in Eu­rope, but is now opened to the fourth landing.. The scene from here was won­derful, overlooking the entire city and en- Bloedel Donovan Lumber ROUGH AND DRESSED LUMBER. \ LATH AND SHINGLES. DOORS, WINDOWS, FRAMES. MOULDINGS AND FINISH.

We lunched on the third landing ,)f the tower and then went to the Hotel des Invalides. The French seem to use th word "Hotel" to indicate most any old kind of a building. In this case it was formerly a great hospital, but now includes the Tomb of Napoleon and a splendid museum of the older wars. Na­poleon's tomb, carved from a huge red block of marble, stands beneath a great dome, which is lighted by a curious com­bination of blue and gold through stained glass windows in those colors. The casket is viewed from above for it sits in a circular crypt, with a splendid mosaic floor, and eleven colossal statues grouped around, symbolizing the emper­or's salient victories. Back of the crypt is a wonderful altar, also lighted in this striking combination of lights, and behind that a memorial chapel. Oh it would take me a week to describe all the wonderful places and things we saw. We were fortunate enough to find everything open, and to have the weather cool enough to tear madly around with comfort. But I am afraid our camera work was not very successful, though we worked pretty carefully and I am sure have lots of good pictures. The first evening we dined at a very doggy cafe on the Boulevard des Italiens, and afterwards went to the Bal Tabarin to see a real French dancing place. The second day we made arrangements with the Y. M. C. A. for a trip to the bat­tlefields the day following. Then we saw the Luxembourg, the Pantheon,. Notre Dame, L'Ecole Militaire, the University of Paris, and L'Ecole des Beaux Arts. That brought us in to the heart of the Latin quarter, and there we spent a de­lightful half day. I wanted to pick up a few water colors, and etchings, and we found any number of little shops where it was a delight to browse around. I got quite a number of good things with­out a very great expense. At one shop they had nothing but French war post­ers, and I purchased about twenty of them. Gee, I wanted everything in sight. That evening we dined at a, place in the Latin quarter, which was recommended 1o us by one of the shop keepers. I have never tasted such excellent cuisine, and we afterwards learned that we had dined in one of the most famous res­taurants on the continent. We returned there for our last meal before leaving Paris. In the evening after dinner, we attended the Folies Bergere, the most risque theatre in Paris, they say, since the Moulin Rouge burned down. Going to a theatre in France is an education in itself. You reserve your seat-—charge for reservation—pay a war tax on top of that. At the theatre one must check his hat and cloak, charge for that, buy a programme, charge for that, and tip the usheress, charge for that too, for it is not optional. If you forget it she asks you for it,—I forgot I know. All per­sons who expect a tip in France, and rr.ost of them do, argue if they are hot satisfied with the size of it. The theatre ticket is as big as a hand-bill, and when you enter the door you must present it to a man who occupies a regular police judge's bench, and who writes reams about it. These people are forever writ­ing, writing. The show was a rather broad (?) musical comedy, with lots of American hits of six months ago, and we enjoyed it immensely. • But the third day was the day of days. We left at seven a. m. for Reims, arriv­ing there about ten o'clock. Long before we reached Reims we began to see marks of the war, and at Chateau Thierry, only a couple of hours from Paris, saw the first complete devastation. In spite of all I have read, and the movies etc. FOR EIGHT YEARS CAVE Has stood for Pure, Clean, Wholesome CANDY AND ICE CREAM ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1919 October 10 - Page 7 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY/OCTOBER 10, 1919 I have seen, the first real sight of it sent: a sickening feeling through me. The fields in this vicinity are well cultivated already, but with all sorts of crazy lines of fresh earth upon them, marking the filled-in trenches, and every little ways a nasty barrier of barbed wire. At Reims we were in the heart of the most thorough destruction of the whole war, and it made me heart-sick I am . frank to admit. Many people were back slow­ly mending their broken homes, but it must be a heart-breaking job, a thousand times harder than new construction. Here nearly nine months after the armistice, ..this city, on the very,fringe of the front, shows hardly any degree of reconstruc­tion, and as we advanced a few miles further into the war-stricken districts I realized as never before the colossal tsak confronting the French. We hired a Ford and set out in the direction of Laoms. We were soon at Berry au Bac, the little village at the foot of the famous hill 108. You may recall that this hill, dominating the entire region, was one of the most fiercely contested bits of ground of the whole war. The Germans held one side, the, French the other, and for days and weeks they seesawed back and forth for complete possession. Finally the French were prepared for a supreme attack, when, a few minutes before start­ing, the Germans' exploded a mine be­neath the French side, tearing a hole two hundred feet deep in the earth and com­pletely burying some 1700 French, who have never, and never will be found. A iittle later the French blew up the Ger­man side burying the whole enforcement there. They say that the hill accounts i'or% the death of 18,000 French and no one knows how many Germans. It is the most ominous sight I have ever seen. From Berry au Bac we drove up to and along the famous Chemain des Dames. We had long been within the territory occupied by the Germans and had a chance to see their systems of trenches, etc. Armed with flash-lights and candles we explored a number of their concrete pill-boxes which were al­ways merely the outlet to a system of deep underground tunnels. In one we walked for about a quarter of a mile through the most amazing system of tun­nels, all lined with either concrete or heavy timbers, and the driver told us the tunnel ran for five miles. In these regions there is now not a sign of life, not a tree standing, much less anything It's the Place The Time And the Girl. Guess the Rest. WATCH THIS SPACE resembling a building. The whole coun­try is hacked to pieces with a net work of trenches, and smeared c er with this murdrous barbed wire, not to mention the fact that the whole country is mined with unexploded shells and grenades. It looks pretty discouraging, I tell you. They are using German prisoners for reconstructing, and occasionally a little group of French peasants are seen shov­eling earth into trenches, but they can't even scratch the ruin. Near Soissons we came upon a Prison Camp, and saw how the prisoners are bull-penned. They are beastly looking things, but seem perfectly good-natured and we had our selves snapped with some of them. We got back to Reims about four o'clock, and went over to study the ruins of the famous cathedral before leaving. Somehow the ruin of that magnificent building seemed to me to symbolize the whole situation facing the French, for in its almost irreparable ruin, it yet stands dignified, beautiful, promising. On the gaunt, smitten desert of dead cities, dead factories, dead fields—mile upon weary mile—will be branded in my mem­ory as long as I live. I wish I had the power to convey its awfulness to you, but no pen can picture that northern desolation, no movie render it, no lec­turer describe it. It must be seen with the eyes. From Reims we went by train back to Chateau Thierry, where the "Y" took us in cars all around and through Bellau Woods. This country was of course of intense interest, because of pur own participation, and, I wonder if you wiil believe me, I envied, as I never have before the Americans who had a chance to be there. We got back to the city just in time to see a movie—they call them cinemas—of the huge parade in Paris on the 14th. , Saturday I devoted mostly to shop­ping, although I did work-in the great panoramic painting called the Pantheon de Guerre. It is a huge canvas, over 400 feet in length, "worked upon for four years by 19 artists and bearing portraits of the central figures in all the allied powers. It was wonderful. Also saw the Jardin Morceau, a gem of a park, the Palace de Justice, Le Grand Palais Petite Palais, Madeleine and a few more places. Lunched with Dr. Hunt at the home of some cousin's of his—a real P*rench family—and had a glimpse of French family life. The luncheon was very typical—courses, one thing to a course, even potatoes. Imagine a course of potatoes! The shopping was a circus, even though I had little to spend. It gave me a chance to use my pigeon French, flirt with the cute little clerks, rubber, 'neverything'—but buy. Sunday we ran out early to Versailles and spent the large part of the day there. You. know, of course, that here was the scene of the peace parliament. The pal­aces and parks at Versailles, among the most beautiful in the world, were begun by Louis XIV and completed, I think, by. Louis XV. At any rate they were a couple of pretty gay old boys and they certainly set themselves up in some little bungalow and garden. Wow, it is the biggest and grandest thing I have ever seen. Well, we walked as hard as our legs could take us for over five hours and'then .only hit the-high spots of it. The day was the only sunny one we had so I am sure we got some good pictures "there. We returned to Paris in the middle of the afternoon, and attempted to "do" the Louvre. That would take about a monthj properly done, for it is immense, but only' a small part was open and we did it in about an hour. I wasn't sorry, for I was dead tired, and fed up on sight-seeing. We did see Mona Lisa, Winged Victroy, and Venus de Milo, ROYAL ICE CREAM When you order that ice cream remember it is Royal that always gives satisfaction.

Then we hired an open car and drove along the doggy boulevards like a couple of millionaires—I was with Dr. Hunt most of the time—and through the beautiful park, Bois de Buologne. After that an­other delicious dejuener at our Latin Quarter place and the train. Not a bad little trip, eh Momsie? And tomorrow I'm off to do it all over again in London. The only thing that limited my enjoy­ment of it all is the feeling of selfishness I have for having done it all alone. How I wish I could share it with you! I have collected pictures and souvenirs all along and I can at least share them. You know that I am sending you every clay a message of love and longing, and a hope that all is well with you. I am so hopeful that it will not be long until we can finally realize my coveted trip home. I'll write again within a few "days. With a great heart of affections, Sonny.

WORD FROM FRIENDS AT COLUM­BIA UNIVERSITY ' Vs" A letter recently received from Miss Keeler says that Miss Florence Morse and Miss Cassie Cales have arrived at Columbia completing the family of these three, Miss Harriet Willoughby, Miss Nora B. Cummins, and Miss Nellie Mc- Cown. She says that the Misses Morse and Cales drove around the Columbia buildings twice and were forced to in­quire where Columbia College might be when they were in its midst. She says that the pennant and license on Miss Morse's machine attract general attention and Cassie Cales makes friends wherever she goes. Miss Olive Edens and Maude E. Drak;e.. are also at Columbia. LAUGH AND LIVE WATCHING THE TRAINS A certain member of the faculty was waiting for the noon train to the north last Saturday, when he discovered a prominent figure around the Normal Book Store pacing. up and down the track in a very nervous manner. First a severe attack of coughing seemed to grip hold of this gentleman (I pretty near gave it away that time but don't try to think who he is because he might be embarrassed.) Then he wiped off a seemingly undue amount of perspiration for the exercise he was taking. Mr. Faculty stepped up and inquired of Mr. Book Store if he were also going North on this same train. . I will try to give the conversation as near as possible: Mr. B.—Wh-w-why I was only watch­ing the t-t-tra-trains don't you know! very interesting, (looks at watch). What i can be the matter with that train, will [ she SHE never come? Mr. F.—Oh! I see! A SHE. , Mr. B.—O! Oooh! Er—a—well, you tee feminine gender is always used when speaking of a train. Mr. F.—(To himself) -What ails him? He seems unnecessarily nervous, I guess I'll stall around and watch him. (To Mr. B.) I think I'll get my ticket. Good Day. Mr. F. found a good place to watch Mr. B. when the train came in. SHE sure did come. Mr. F. wouldn't tell any more, but he did say that he didn't think Mr. B. would be watching for the train any more especially since his anx­iety for this particular train's arrival is o*-er. • — And those who were wise shall be honr ored, They shall teach in a country fair They shall splash through miles of weath­er, to sit in a'teacher's chair.

XIX BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1919 No. 2 Normal School Urged to Utilize Mount Baker Advantages of Great Mountain are Pointed Out A suggestion that Mount Bak­er be utilized as an educational asset by the Bellingham State Normal school is made in a let­ter just written to the Normal trustees by Dr. A. C. Herre, head of the Department of Hygiene. Dr. Herre writes that no other educational institution in the country has a mountain like Baker at its back door, accord­ing an advantage which "could mean so much to the student body and to the work in geog­raphy, botany, zoology, and na­ture study." He further sug­gests the erection of a lodge at the end of Heliotrope trail and the organization. of weekly ex­cursions for students during the summer. The letter, which will be con­sidered by the board at its next meeting, follows: I beg to present the following preliminary report upon a plan for summer excursions which.I think will contribute to the edu­cational welfare of our students and enhance the prestige of our school. "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help, O Lord my strength—" From time immemorial man­kind has sought the high places of the earth, a great variety of causes contributmg to induce, him to do this. And so it comes that people everywhere long to see and visit the wondrous peaks and mountain ranges of the earth. From all over the world man- CREVASSE ON DEMING GLACIER, MOUNT BAKER kind throngs to the noted peaks of Eu­rope, many times neglecting the won­der places of nature much nearer home. People naturally locate the best far off in some distant land, and we here in the Pacific Northwest are no ex­ception. Those places long celebrated in song and story, connected with the romance of history and the music of poetry,—in other words best adver^ tised,—are the ones we desire most to visit. Everyone knows we have some great snow capped mountains not far away but few realize that we have right in the back yard as it were, of the Bellingham State Normal moun­tain scenery which cannot be equaled in some respects in Switzerland, and which is totally unapproachable any­where in the eastern or central por­tions of. our country, or even in the vast and wonderful \Rocky Mountain region. ' One can leave the Normal school and jn two iours be on the Glacier trail and a few hours later be amidst the eternal snows and myriad water­falls of Mt. Baker's ice cap. Here at the timber line one can observe the work of ice, see the glaciers and their net work of crevasses, and in general observe "Geography in the Making." The Bellingham State Normal; School is the only school in the Unit­ed States of Normal or Collegiate rank of which this is true. No other insti­tution has any such natural advantage or one which could mean so much to the student body and to the work in Geography. Botany, Zoology, and Na­ture Study. Under the direction of members of (Continued on page 5.) A NORMAL TRUSTEE Hon. F.| J. Barlow resigned as trus­tee of the Bellingham State Normal School at. the beginning of the fall term and Mr. Walter B. Whitcomb has been appointed by the Governor to fill the vacancy. Mr. Barlow had served on the Board of Trustees since May of 1913, acting as chairman from July of that year until July of 1917. He has constantly:;had the interests of the Normal School at heart and has. rendered a great .service to the State of Washington!^*- "•• ! Mr. Whitcomb is a prominent attor-. ney of the city, holding the position of president of the Whatcom County Bar Association. He is highly respected by the citizens of Bellingham and the Normal School is fortunate in having Mr. Whitcomb on the Board of Trus­tees.

The Board of Trustees accept with sincere regret the resignation of Mr. Edson. During the six years of his offcial connection with tho school, Mr. Edson has proved painstaking and efficient to a high degree. As the ap­pointed agent of the Board he has been uniformly tactful and courteous in his dealings with students, teachers, employees, and the public. He has been an kooest and careful custodian of.the State funds, using such keen­ness in expenditures as would be shown in the conduct of private busi­ness. His experiences as. printer and school board member have made him doubly useful in the responsible posi­tion he had filled. During his term, of office the duties of Registrar have expanded materially and have become very exacting, but he has met, easily and without complaint, every new de­mand upon his time and energy. He is popular with the faculty and em­ployees, holds the esteem of students, and is respected by Bellingham busi­ness men. He has systematized his office and leaves it In perfect order.

Major Palmer left a sick wife and ; several children to respond to the call France sent out for her.men at the beginning of the war, and was later, at the request of two of his superior officers, loaned by the French army to the American army to help pro­mote a better spirit of- friendship among the Poilus and the Doughboys. After leaving Bellingham Major Palmer had the strange experience of being matriculated and graduated from Columbia University in New York City in two days, and then went aboard the transport, that with eight­een other transports loaded with. Amer­ican Doughboys were sent across the same day. On the same transport he met and became acquainted with a French woman, who had given her husband and three sons for France. Major Palmer arrived in Paris during the battle of Chateau Thierry and men­tioned the thrill of pride that went through him when he first beheld our American boys in khaki holding back the Huns in their fierce attempt to take Paris, and realized the marvelous spirit of the American Doughboy. Maj­or Palmer conducted classes for the French officers and Poilus, and one young French woman came and asked permission to study the language too, which permission was given. He told how this young woman came faithfully day after day to the class, and finally when the town was being evacuated because of the near­ness of the enemy, he found her still in the class room studying the board as calmly as though nothing had hap­pened, and when he exclaimed at this, she only said that four and a half years of this kind of bombardment had made her accustomed to it. Major Palmer paid tribute to our boys who fought so bravely, and to the seventy thousand of them who will never coirje home. He spoke touchingly of the French mothers, who every Thursday, afternoon ( school holiday) decorate the graves of these American boys, and felt that France was a country too little understood, and perhaps unjustly criticized by the American people. He felt that the majority of our soldiers and officers had not had the opportunity to come iii contact with the real family life of France, as with seventy two per cent of her young manhood either dead or maimed, they could not well open their homes to the American soldiers, nor those of any of the many coun-j tries represented during the war. He was present at the grave of Lafayette when General Pershing said: "Oh, Lafayette, we are here." . In closing Major Palmer urged that these seventy thousand American boys, from as many American homes, shall not have died in vain, but that the standards for which they fought should be carried on, and that we must not forget that because of their sacrifice, our own homes and firesides were rendered secure and safe. Colonel Bingle, of the Salvation Army, then spoke, who proceeded to thank the students and faculty for t'iie help they had given in their last drive. Colonel Bingle thinks that the trouble with the American people today is "selfishness" and he said that the whole spirit of the Salvation Army was the spirit of unselfishness, and a desire to be of the greatest help whenever help was needed. Colonel Bingle's talk, though short, was most helpful and inspiring and the Normal School will be glad to have him talk for them again. The students of the Normal school were invited to be present Friday night- at the Methodist church, where a reception for Dr. Elliott, the new pastor, would be held. - At the eleven o'clock period Mr. Pbilippi gave the school two films, Which were enjoyed by all present.

He then offered helpful suggestions regarding the proper attitude of the teacher in the community—not to try to shock the community, or to overimpress the com­munity, but to become a part of the community, by sharing its problems and"aiding its purposes. "The only way," said Dr. Hart, "that a teacher can render service to a community is directly through her school. As she puts energy and force into this, the parents will recognize her value and help." Dr. Hart is investigating community school situations and problems, and the students appreciated the helpful suggestions which he was able to give: MR. EDSON RESIGNS; MR.

Olslager will take Mr. Edson's place at the Normal School and we -feel will serve the institution well. Dr. Jo sept K. Hart, head of the De­partment of Education of Reed College, addressed the students at the essem-bly on Monday. He has been in war work, and re­marked that while he had expected to rest from teaching for a year or two, he began the work one week earlier than usual and taught through the entire period. "No doubt your instructors have al­ready given you these thoughts over and over." he said, "but perhaps an outsider saying them again will em- MISSOURI FARM EXPERT VISITS THE NORMAL Shortly after the Normal School opened in the fall we had as a visitor Professor J. Kelly Wright, head of the Animal Husbandry Division of the Missouri State Department of Agricul­ture. Mr. Kelly is a graduate of the University of Missouri andsudied un­der some of the biggest live stock men of the country. He-has been with the State Department of Agriculture of Missouri for ten years and certainly-has "the interests of the Missouri farm­ers at heart. He holds farmers' insti­tutes all over the State of Missouri, giving lectures and instruction in breeding and feeding of all knds of live stock and in dairying. Mr. "Wright is sent each year to three of the larg­est- live stock shows in the country— the Inernational, National Dairy, and Kansas Royal from which he brings to the farmers of his state the latest information regarding the breeding and feeding of live stock. Mr. Wright is also interested in and is working out problems with com­munity life of the Missouri farmers. He gave a very fine lecture on this phase of his work to the students of the Normal. School, ilhjstrating his talk wth some beautiful slides. He also gave a lecture on "Essentials of Leadership" which was most inspiring. As a student of Agricultural Econ­omics Mr. Wright is now making a study of the packing industry of his state and he is convinced that the methods used by the packers are open to criticism and that the government is justified in making an investigation. . - . . • ?

De­partment told us about her trip to North Yakima where she went to act as one of the judges of Fine and Ap­plied Arts. Miss Druse took a collection of post­ers, toys, baskets, and woven articles from here but they were not entered in the contest because of the fact that Miss Druse was to be one of the judges. "However, she told us that the exhibit was greatly appreciated and the posters, especially excited a great deal of comment.' The real es­tate men of Yakima were interested in the real estate posters that were made here last year. An Indian woman decked in bright garments, speaking excellent English, admired the baskets from the Normal, and was very anxious to find out how she might learn to make them. Miss Druse tried to help her' as much as possible but found it hard as she did ot understand the basketry terms. Governor Hart, whom Miss Druse had known as a private citizen, called at the Normal exhibit, spending about twenty minutes and expressed pleas­ure and interest in the work of the Normal. At least a dozen of former Normalites called and sent their greet­ings to the Bellingham Normal. Miss Druse then made mention of the various other exhibits, one that she was especially interested in be­ing the Demonstration by the Canning Clubs, since three of her nieces were helping to demonstrate. We are all glad that the Normal was so well represented at the Fair, by Miss Druse.

After the tablet was writ­ten, and while the clay was still soft before it was burned, the temple scribe rolled his cylindrical stone over the entire tablet, and the seal impression made it impossible to change the rec­ord. This was a method used to pre­vent theft and forgery. The seal im­pression bears in raised characters the name of the Scribe and of his father; the seated figure of a diety, probably of the Moon-God Sin; and the standing figure of a priest. The date 2350 B. C. is on the back. These tablets will be of great inter­est to students, faculty members and visitors at the school. They' will be placed in the glass case in the Regis* trar's.office and anyone interested in these ancient trecords may see them there. This gift from Mr. Donovan. is much appreciated. » ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1919 October 3 - Page 4 ---------- 4 THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1919 The Weekly Messenger Published by Students' Association of State Normal School, Bellingham.

So rich, in fact, that we are to some ex­tent, indifferent. In the fall during most of the .month of September, perhaps some weeks in May and all throughout the summer session, there would be no more de­lightful place to spend a week-end than at Normal lodge. It is safe to say the pleasant impressions and ex­periences would be permanently' re­tained in the recollection of Normal days. Again, lett us have the lodge. E. B. Last week's Messenger neglected to mention the fact that Trustee Walter B. Whitcomb gave the opening address to the students of the school. Reverend H. T. Templeton of the First Presby­terian church welcomed the students on behalf of the churches. Mr. Tem­pleton is just taking up his work in Bellingham and this was the Hirst opportunity Normal School students and faculty had to meet him. By all means let us have the Normal lodge, on Heliotrope ridge. It is an investment of opportunity well worth the outlay of money. The establish­ment of this lodge is an educational feature of value. What constitutes an educated, cultured person? Not very often, the one who grinds away at books oblivious of surroundings, if merely reproducing thoughts ob­tained by such methods sufficed, then how easily might the whole problem of education be solved, since books and phonograph records are compar­atively inexpensive. * Generally the finer things of life are the hardest to tear apart and analyze. We are all susceptible to beauty. We recognize and pay tribute to the beau­ty of the wonderful sunsets on our bay. or the jagged, irregular, snow peaked hiils bathed in pink at dusk, or the bold, overlooking Baker. Oftentimes unconsciously, we react to beauty as expressed in trees and flowers. We cannot measure the influence yet we can feel the result. We are rich in this NORMAL SCHOOL A PRIVILEGE Out of 33 million with an elementary education only 808 gain distinction. Out of one million men with a college education 5,768 attain distinction. With added capacity for enjoyment, wider range of influence, and a greater abil­ity for service. The time used in getting ready, in sharpening tools, and in becoming ac­quainted with the situation, is well spent. The present day demands trained workers, whether in the school room, in law, in medicine, in the pulpit, or in business the one who is prepared is in demand. If there ever was a time when young people should go to school it is now. Every teacher must be a stronger teacher, every pupil must be a deeper student because of he activities of life stimulated by the vital issues of Democracy.. ENDEAVOR A new school year has begun and a great army of young people are marching into the schools, colleges and universities. Schools and colleges have never been better prepared to serve this army nor has the world ever needed trained men and women more than it does today. We wonder if our young people fully realize these facts and are conscious of how much of their success depends not alone upon these splendid educa­tional institutions or the noble men and women who serve therein, but upon their own endeavor. Lincoln was not a college graduate, but when he was called to the presi­dency he came with a trained mind. By his own endeavor his mind was trained to think, to study. None saw the true value of the things of life better than Lincoln. Benjamin Franklin was a student all his life and became a finely educated man by his own efforts. Students depend on yourselves, make the most of the splendid oppor­tunities our,Bellingham Normal gives you and success will crown your en­deavor. (A. K. W.) SUMMIT OF MOUNT BAKER AN APPRECIATION Fellow students, do you realize that you are a share holder in the best Students Store, considering the size of the school, to be found anywhere? This is not just the opinion of a few of us here but is the opinion of a num­ber of visitors who have inspected our schooL from time to time. Owing to the fact that our student body is constantly changing no cash dividends are ever declared, but, all must agree that they do receive divi­dends in the way of reduced prices on almost everything. On some goods such as books not enough is allowed by the publisher to even pay for the cost of handling' but on everything else we buy, if a comparison is made, the prices changed by the Co-op aver­age about 25 per cent less than what other stores are getting for the same article. Owing to the cooperation of the stu­dents who have gone before you, you are now enjoying the advantages of lower prices at a time when almost everything you buy you expect to pay from two to three times as much as formerly. Every time you go elsewhere to . buy something you could have bought from your own store you are not only being unfair to your fellow students but to yourself as well as you are paying perhaps 25 per cent more for the same article. This is a time when everyone must cooperate with those who are endeav­oring to reduce the high cost of living, and how can you do that better than by cooperating with yourself in your ov/n store? school and do appreciate the efforts of the school authorities to make the buildings and campus attractive and pleasant for us, let us each avoid the first step off the walk, especially at the corner. We should remember, too, that we are now an example for the children of the Training School and in a year or two we shall be an exam­ple in our own teaching community. Are we going to teach the beautifying cf the school, home, and community or are we, by our own example in forming paths on lawns and parking strips, going to contradict the very thing we teach or our predecessors have taught. Consider your position as a future teacher and I am sure you will heed the signs on our campus which read. "Please do not," "Please stay off," and "Please stay on the walk." SQUARE CORNERS Many improvements including the painting of wood-work, building of new concrete walks, and planting of new lawns near the walks have just been completed by the school authori­ties. We, as students, certainly ap­preciate these advantages. Generally, we are a busy student-body and have no time, in our mad rush to and from classes, to deface the wood-work, but do we use the concrete walks that have been con­structed for us to follow or do we, in our mad rush, cut corners, without re­spect to the efforts of Mr. Hendershot, the gardener, to keep the campus green. It may be, you take only one step on the grass, today, as you turn the corner but it is the beginning of what might become a habit. A. junior, seeing' a senior overstep the boun­daries of the walk, will be apt to do likewise sooner or later; : Bad habits spread -and- multiply •-like -bacteria.. If we do have any pride in our SLANG gt; It is edifying, to say the least, to listen to the eloquent conversation of a group of prospective young lady school teachers. No just critic could possibly complain that they are behind the times. All the latest "Broadway Hits" are in their extensive vocabu­laries. Without them, their conver­sation would be void and empty. The faculty readily appreciates the high quality of this art, and have great hopes for the future good name of the school when such choice phrases are imparted to the budding youths of the state. What shall we do about it?—CUT IT OUT! Mention the Messenger.'

Such excursions, properly adver­tised, would undoubtedly draw stu­dents not only from all parts of the state (but from all parts of the United States. To make these excursions thorough-. ly satisfactory in every respect, and to place them upon an enduring basis, would call for some careful planning and the expenditure of some money. Conference with the local Forestry officials assures us that we may de­pend upon them to keep the trail in proper condition for travel. At the end of the trail on Heliotrope Ridge should be placed a modest but comfortable shelter. Some sort of stove., together with some cooMng utensils should be provided. Students could pack in their food and blankets, but plain bed springs should be kept at the cabin. These and other mat­ters of detail could be arranged later, if the plan meets with: favor. Excursions could be made every week end during July. August, Sep­tember, ond perhaps in October. I am sure that students would be glad to pay an excursion fee of $4 or $5, which would cover the cost of food and transportation charges. It cost my party of tweny-three, including myself, $5.50 each, to make the trip and it is reasonable to suppose that where matters were placed on a per­manent basis the charges could be re­duced. 1 have conferred with Mr. Engberg, long a leading spirit in everything per­taining to Mt. Baker, and believe that we can count not only on his active co-operation, but also on considerable assistance from other citizens of Bell-ingham, who would be glad to see something of this sort in operation. I enclose a few pictures which will give you an idea of conditons and happenings along the lines suggested. Respectfully submitted, ALBERT C. HERRE. THE CAMPUS It would be an unusual surprise, in­deed, if a visiting speaker failed to praise in flowery language the beauties cf our campus. Is this but empty talk lavished on the campus of every school,—or is it a special distinction, bestowed on the Bellingham Normal? Without a doubt, every school receives more or less superfluous praise,—but, whenever we hear a speaker praise our campus, we can not help but feel that there is a note of sincerity it it, No mortal man, alive to the beauties of nature, could fail to appreciate the sterling qualities of our campus. Having one of the beauty spots of Bellingham in our possession, it be­hooves us to take the utmost care thereof. The custodians will do their share. Let us see that we do likewise!

A number of the Normal students and also several of the faculty attend­ed the county fair at Lynden Friday. Don't forget the "Junior Mixer" Fri­day evening at the Normal . school. Every, junior should be present. Class meetings were held last week for the purpose of electing class offi­cers for the coming school year. The following officers were elected: Mr. Caskey went to Lynden Satur­day to conduct the typewriting con­test and to act as judge of the penman­ship exhibit. Eugene Miles, who is in the marine service, came up from Bremerton Fri- 1 day to spend the week end with his sister, Miss Evelyn Miles, of the Nor mal School. A numger of the Normal students have been attending the "welcome" meetings given by the various church­es every Sunday evening at 6:30. A true spirit of sociability is shown to ali strangers attending these meetings. Miss Sperry's Sunday School class gave a weiner roast Sautrday after­noon. A very enjoyable afternoon was spent and ample justice done to the weiners, buns, and other good things to eat. Miss Helen Swartz was a caller at the Normal recently. She is teaching in the Commercial Department at Edi­son Wash. She reports that she en­joys the work and that everything is going nicely. Miss Ora Belle Poe. who has been teaching at Blaine' during the past year, has been employed to introduce a complete commercial and shorthand course ino the school at Burlington, Wash. Miss Baker's Nature Study classes gathered and shelled ten quarts of beans last week. These were sold to the Dormitory for four dollars. This money will be given to the Bird's Sanctuary fund. Two graduates of the Normal, Lieu­tenant Schwartz and Albert Hennes, who have seen service during the war, and who are now leaving Bellingham for the University, were present at the assembly Friday and each was called upon to say a few words. Lieutenant Schwartz tlod something of his experiences. He was with the mine sweeping boats and spent :a great deal of time in Scotland and England, making special mention of the beauties of the city of Inverness in Scotland. He said that he had at one time rather disliked the English people, but after getting acquainted with them, thought them the finest people in the world. . He said the rain over there made him very homesick, as it was so much like Bellingham. He, like the other boys, was happy to be home again. Mr. Hennes also spoke a few words to the students in his usual pleasing manner. Dr. Nash wished both boys all future success and happiness in their new work at the U. Mr. Bond gave a very interesting address on "The Spirit of Education" at Pleasant Valley last Friday even­ing.

A. lt; RECEPTION In the prettily decorated rooms of tiie Young Women's Christian Associ­ation, the annual reception for Nor­mal students was held last Friday-evening. Upon entering, one found himself confronted by a long, hut not entirely overwhelming receiving line, headed by the newly elected president, Na-manee Sherwood, Miss Sperry, the faculty advisor, Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Simpson of the Advisory Board, and others. Among these were Faith Hug-gett, the vice president; Frances Jen­nings, secretary; Margaret Scott, treasurer and cabinet members. At this time the cabinet is comprised of the following young women: Muriel Lee. Ruth Thurman, Loucyne Wilcutt, Esther Nelson, Vivienne Croxford, Margaret Shannon and Eva Bond. After passing the receiving line, wheh was not so formal but that only a few lacked courage to encounter it, the guests hunted for their conversa­tion partners, to be found by matching slips of paper carrying the names of those present. An excellent opportun­ity was afforded for getting acquaint­ed, so everyone present had a good time. The'victrola helped out the musical program, but was scarcely needed when a pianist like Miss Ingalls sat at the piano. During much enthusias­tic singing the refreshments were served, Miss Florence Townsend pre­siding at the punch bowl. This welcome so warmly extended by the Association was appreciated by the students of the Normal, and it is hoped that they in return will give this work their hearty support throughout the school year. •and informed us he was going to teach the commercial subjects at a school in Chehalis for one quarter. Next quarter he intends to be with us again. We will be very glad to have Mr. Justus with us again. • Monday evening the members of D. A. Y. Hall were entertained by Mrs. Day and her daughter Bernice. We all had a delightful time. Bernice played the violin and her girl chums sang and played the piano for us. After the music, candy was served in which we all took a delight. Later various games were played. The D. A. Y. Hall can boast that every member in the Hall belongs to some school organization. Mr. Bar-truff and Mr. Zaremba are Rural Lif­ers, Miss Bernice Day is a Philo. Mr. Powell and Mr. Roe belong to the Thespians. We certainly are glad that all the D. A.. Y. members realize the value of this work. Friday morning Mr. Bartruff, Mr. Zaremba, and Mr. Roe were excused from their classes in order to go with the agricultural classes to the County Fair at Lynden. They all enjoyed the trip very much. Besides all the beau­tiful exhibits, they also enjoyed the horse races and the flying machines. It performed many curious stunts in the air. It took the spiral dive, turned sommersaults, looped the loops and various other stunts. Mr. Bartruff spent the week end at his home in Ferndale. | Mr. Powell and Mr. Zaremba spent a delightful day at Lake Whatcom,' Saturday. Bloedel Donovan Lumber . ROUGH AND DRESSED LUMBER.

The girls have fully adjusted themselves to their new surroundings and are now hard at work. They are enjoying Bellingham life and Bellingham Normal immense­ly. Most of them are taking art and artists' headquarters is an appropriate name. Thursday evening Miss Flor­ence Bradley, one of the members of the house, attended the Rural Life picnic. The picnic was held at What­com Falls. Miss Neta Wiggins received a box of apples from home which added to their interest. Her room is frequently visited. Miss Gladys Wilber received the news that her parents wished her to spend the week end with them. She was delighted to accept the invitation and- Friday evening the girls accom­panied her to the dock. She will re­turn Monday to take up her regular work. The same evening the girls went to see Mary Pickford in "Daddy Long Legs." They spent a very en­joyable evening. Saturday afternoon Miss Helen Lendhart, Miss Alice Kender, and Miss Lillian Manberg attended the Methodist Sunday School picnic at Dead Man's Point. They enjoyed themselves very much, coming home tired and pleased with the day's out­ing. Sunday morning the girls went to church and in the evening gathered around the piano for a good sing. This ended a pleasant week end. Edens Hall We have a jolly good crowd of girls and are expecting many exciting and interesting events to take place in the future. Echoes of hikes club entertain­ments, basket ball, field hockey, ten­nis, and lecture course numbers lead us to believe we will have many prof­itable as well as enjoyable times. Not long ago we organized our house and the following efficient of­ficers were elected: President, Ruth Oaasen; vice president, Maud Eliot; secretary and treasurer, Anne New­man. Miss Olive McLeod, who was called to her home in The Dalles returned Wendesday evening.

There was much excitement among the guests when the comb orchestra struck up the famous Lohengrin "Wed­ding March and the bride appeared at the altar to find no groom awaiting her. A few minutes later she and her rel­atives were very much relieved to see him come rushing in, tenaciously grasping the wedding ring. Then the .service proceeded. If they fulfill all the promises and vows exacted of them by the clergy­man, we are sure they will live happily ever after. By the way, we have discovered that our dormitory has some excep­tionally fine talented members. Piano players, readers, soloists, artists, hu­morists, a banjoist, and one who con­tinually plays the victrola. The Parker House Now that you have met us, come to visit us. We have in our midst certain ones who are adept at cheering up homesick Normaiites. We are al­ways at home to visitors. Hist! What is the noise? It is foul play or some fair damsel in distress?

The suspense around the Parker House has been tense of late for we are expecting a new girl to join us who hasn't come yet. Alas! our pet has met its doom. Helen got rash and threw it out of the window. Not wishing it any harm, you know, but we hope it dislocated that part of the body connecting head and trunk when it landed. Leta met a friend from her home town oh Saturday who brought her the good news that she was to go home next week end. A former roll, Miss Vivian Bettanini, spent the week-end with the Parkers. WATCH THIS SPACE Miss Bettanini is teaching at Laurel this year. A report on the county fair recently held at Lynden was-made by Reta, who spent Friday on the fair grounds looking over the variety of products from Whatcom county.

With Ozo Myers to raise out spirits, and Victoria Huston to keep them up, you may be sure we have no time for homesickness. Not what you call quiet at all is the south room occupied by Alice Nelson and Alice Johnson. It seems to be a. failing of the Del Duca family to an­chor here. As a result, we have with us, Elizabeth to take Domenica's place. Because Gladys Roach entered late we thought she would have to find some other place of abode; But we managed to squeeze her in too. Accompanying the other girls from Oregon, came Edith Smith who occu­pies the west room with the beauty of Port Townsend, Marion Edgerly. We can foresee a year of fun and you will hear more from us.

Barbara Little and Janice Brooks went to Barbara's home in Sedro-Woolley and incidentally to visit Janice's uncle there. We were glad, however, that they did take this trip to Sedro-Woolley bcause they brough back some of those "good eats from home."

FORMER NORMAL STUDENTS AT THE U, OF W. The University of Washington has drawn a large number of our former students this year. Among these are the following who are residents of CHORUS ORGANIZED The' first meeting of the Normal chorus was held Monday evening for the purpose of organization. There were about fifty- persons present as applicants for membership and the prospects for one of the best ohorus clubs ever organized here is most ex­cellent. Not only in number is this club most promising, but also in qual­ity is it of the finest character. Most of the members, so far, are women and while these are appreciated it is necessary that more men join the or­ganization in order that our chorus be second to none. •$• «$» «£* «£» «£• •£• «£» «£* •?• «$» •$» «£• *£» *$• *£» •£» • $• .* REPORTERS, ATTENTION!!!!! • • When you write your articles • i" for the Messenger please have • •V a heart for US.

XIX BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1919 No. 1 Normal May Build Lodge on Slope of Mt. Baker Plan Suggested Whereby School and Mountain May Benefit Each Other Association of the Mount Baker moyement with the Bellingham State Normal school's upbuilding is a pro­ject that has been proposed to Presi­dent G W. Nash by Henry Engberg, veteran Alpinist of that region, who knows Kulshan- gt;and its environs like a book. Mr. Engberg has suggested to Dr. Nash that the school, with the co-operation of "the business interests . of Bellingham, which he believes can ::befsecured, construct on Heliotrope ridge a building which shall be known as Normal lodge. This propo­sition will be unfolded to the, stu­dents at some assembly in .the near future, possibly .by Mr.. Engberg. Dr. Nash views, the proposal with'favor. It is Mr. Engberg's belief that the. association of the two. ideas would redound to the benefit of, the Normal sclool and help materially in this city's effort to advertise Mount;Bak­er, which within a relatively short time will be open to tourists by a road for which preliminary surveys are now being made by the forestry service. The local mountaineer for-sees invaluable results from the per­sonal contact advertising which-would ensue.-from eastern .students' visits to the great mountain, for with the NormaL conducting a lodge on the mountain's slopes it is certain, he believes, that great numbers of stu­dents., from the East would spend a pcrtion of their summer vacation in that wonderful natural park, a va­cation that would be filled with the absorption of a practical education at the Normal and an exceptional period of recreation in the hills. Mr. Engberg believes that advertisement of Baker such as they would give would prove of far greater worth than expensive magazine advertising, and it would not cost the community a cent. II m At the same time, Mr. Engberg be­lieves, these students would sing the praises of the Normal school, which annually is becoming larger and more 1! i efficient, until it is one of the best institutions of its.kind in the entire country. Thus, through aiding the Mount Baker movement the Normal school would forward its own pur­poses. • . - . . . . • : , •' While Mr. Engberg was president of the Mount Baker club, which has been somnolent for some years, he conceived the idea of an inn or lodge on Kulshan's slopes and in further­ance of that plan Mrs. Engberg gave a concert, the net proceeds of which, amounting to about $600, were to have, been used toward the build­ing's construction. Unfortunately this was expended for other' pur­poses when the club found itself in financial straits, Mr. Engberg having failed to specify that it was to be used for a special object. Mr; Eng­berg had Architect T. F. Doan draw plans of the proposed lodge and, as he recollects, it was to have accom­modations for about twenty-five per­sons. He still has these plans, he believes, and they will be available in case the Normal school backs the lodge movement. At that time the lodge would have cost about $1,200. Now, of course, it probably wbuld cost several hundred dollars more. Mr. Engberg, who has always be­lieved that Mount Baker would prove an asset to the Normal, as well as to the community at large, if the proper efforts were put forth to that end, says he stands ready to do all he can to bring such a desidefatuni about, and if the lodge plan is adopted by the school he will do what he can to secure the city's co-operation in car­rying it out.—Bellingham Herald.

THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1919 1 NASH SEES FLEET The students were favored in Mon­day's assembly in hearing Dr. Nash give a detailed description of the visit of the fleet to Seattle, and the review­ing of the fleet by the President after which he gave his message. * The fleet was reviewed by the President from the old inferior look­ing, yet historic Oregon. Thousands cheered the President when he arrived at the auditorium in the evening. He joined heartily with the large audience in the singing of America. In his speech regarding the League of Nations the President said: "You say 'It isn't likely that the treaty will be rejected. It is only likely that there will be certain res­ervations.' Very well, I want very frankly to tell you what I think about that. If the reservations do not change the treaty then it is not necessary to make them part of the resolution of ratification. If all that you desire is to say what you understand the treaty to mean, no harm can be done by say­ing it, but if you want to change the treaty, if you want to alter the phrase­ology so that the meaning is altered, if you want to put in reservations that give the United States a position of special privilege or a special exemp­tion of responsibility among the mem­bers of the league, then it will be necessary to take the treaty back to the conference table- "And, my fellow citizens, the world is not in a temper to discuss this treaty over again. The world is just now more profoundly disturbed by social and economic conditions than it ever was before, and the world de­mands' that we shall come to some sort of a settlement which will let us get down to business and purify and rectify our affairs. • President Nash visited the battle­ship New Mexico. It is called "The Wonder Ship of the World." It is 625 feet long and cost $20,000,000. It has 65 officers and 1200 men, and is the largest ship having passed through Panama Canal. The guns carried are 14 inches and weigh 14,000 pounds- They cost $95,000 each and cost $775 for each shot fired. President Nash said as he viewed the great fleet he remarked to a friend that it seemed an immense amount of money invested for destruction and he received the reply, "Not for de­struction but for defense." At assembly on Wednesday Prof. Klemme gave the Normal students a brief review of his work of the sum­mer. He traveled through the west­ern states, also Canada in Chautauqua work. He said that he felt more inclined to speak of the future than of the past and proceeded to give a stirring address on Americanization. He said; "Teachers going out to teach must learn to do three things—Firstly, to Americanize the schools; secondly, to keep out propaganda; thirdly, to edu­cate your community. If there are any people in your com­munity who cannot speak the English language, start night schools and teach them. Do not encourage mili­tarism, but create an atmosphere which will encourage patriotism." "The American school is our greatest democratic institution." In closing he said, "This is the prob­lem of the public schools—your prob­lem and mine." T MIXER OF SEASON IS HELD MT. BAKER'BEAUTIFUL Dr. E. T- Mathes, former president of our school, and Mr. Engberg accom­panied the .party from the state Uni­versity in their trip to Mt. Baker. These two gentlemen did "not attempt however, to reach the summit as they went only for pleasure. Prof. Meaney of the University be­lieves that the beauties of Mt. Baker surpass those of even Mt.

MONTAGUE McHUGH Incorporated —"Merchandise of Quality Only " IVE At the Monday morning assembly we were enabled to hear Miss.Beards­ley in a new' role, that of Salvation Army booster. Her talk was not only inspiring, but brought real results, for at the close of Monday's canvass $178.35 had been received. Miss Beardsley said that she had always admired the work of the Sal­vation Army, and since the war she is more enthusiastic than ever. Like the rest of us, she said she used to ask this organization to take off her hands old papers, shoes and clothing, then feel very charitable about it After closer thought, however, she in­sists that it was the Army which was being charitable. She feels that we all should make a generous contribu­tion to pay for the way the Army has relieved us of these burdens in the past. If the fives and tens which she asked for from the faculty roll in, and each student adds his "bit" the result v/ill be most gratifying. It should not be omitted that the fine Army poster was appreciated v«ry much, especially after hearing of Miss Beardsley's amusing experi­ence in bringing it.. Credit is also due to Miss Bond and to Mr. Bugge, who comprised the stu­dent committee in charge of the drive. met Dr. Clarton and other noted edu­cators. , One of the most enjoyable features of the trip was the visit to" Columbia University in New York. Here he met the new appointment officers, also Miss Willoughby and Miss McCowan formerly of this school. They were looking forward to the arrival of the teachers from our school who 'vgill at­tend there this year. On the return trip he visited the state fair grounds at. St. Paul. Though very early in the morning1 great crowds of people were gathering to attend the largest annual fair held in that part of the country. He visited the University of Minnesota where he was once a student. He returned home by the way of the Canadian country and enjoyed the view through the Rockies. Closing his address Dr. Nash said that he experi­enced the greatest thrills of the trip when familiar objects began to tell him that he was again arriving in Bellingham. . • • EXCELLENT LECTURE COURSE SECURED DR.

While feeling the responsibility she realizes that after all the success of the paper depends upon the entire school. This first issue has been delayed because of a lack of workers upon the staff. We ask for tolerance for any deficiencies or errors in our efforts in getting the work organized; also for the co-operation of both faculty and student body. To the student who has attended Normal before and is with us again this year we extend the glad hand of greeting. To the student who is here for the first time we assure you we are glad to welcome you into our midst. To the new students the first days at Normal are generally days long to be remembered, not for the pleasure they brought. Far from it! Rather for weariness in mind and body ensuing from the desperate struggle to accomplish^ all the points set forth in "Notice to New Students." We know that the line was inter­minably long before the grating in the registrar's office, that the rooms per­sisted in being elusive, especially the gymnasium and 300's, but that and other similar experiences are trials that all the uninitiated must pass through. Now at this, our third week of school, the crooks and turns of the building, the faces of our fellow stu­dents have become fairly familiar!. We hope the last lingering trace of homesickness has vanished and that Normal is beginning to claim a large place in your affections. In direct proportion to your efforts and school spirit will your enjoyment of- this school year grow. We are glad you are with us, fellow students, and we are sure you are glad to be a member of the Normal's large and growing family. t —"! . " ; .

To the heart that's just been bled; There has ..been one word that the whole world loves. And beside it there is no other. 'Tis the word you lisped when you first could speak. It's the precious word of "Mother." There are beautiful things in the world to see There are thoughts that enrapture the soul, There are names carved deep in the halls of fame, And there's gold which the gods extol, And beauty and rapture and fame and gold. Are all included, my brother. When we look in the eyes of. one we love, Any say to her. "My Mother." When we look away to the marvelous hills. * And off to the mystical star, We search for God as the Father of all, and wonder what we are; But when we think of the love of God, A MORNING THOUGHT Let me today do something that shall take A little sadness from the world's vast store, And may I be so favored as to make Of joys too scanty sum, a little more. Let me not hurt by any selfish deed Or thoughtless word, the heart of foe or friend; Nor would I pass unseeing, worthy need, Or sin by silence where I should defend. However meager. be our worldly wealth, Let -.me give something that shall aid my kind, A word of courage or a thought of . health, •• Dropped as I pass, for troubled hearts to find. Let me tonight look back across the span 'Twixt dawn and dark and to my conscience say— Because if some good act to beast or man The world is better that I lived to­day. —Ella W-heeler Wilcox.

MEETING The annual election of officers for the Young Woman's Christian Asso­ciation was held this afternoon- Dr. Nash, afterward addressed the As­sociation. His subject was "Charac­ter." He quoted at length from Dr. King's writing, "A Fight for Charac­ter." also gave many helpful sugges­tions, along the line of association, temptation and habit and the value possible to be obtained from each. Dr. Nash expressed his appreciation of the services of the Y. W. C. A. to the Normal school and felt assured that the * same spirit of helpfulness and co-operation would obtain for the future. He spoke of the return of Miss Sperry to her work in. the school, and of the help she had been in -the Y. W. C. A. in the past and believed that she would have even more and better things for them for the future because of her experiences while away during the past year. The returns from the election re­ported the election of the following officers: Namanee Sherwood, presi­dent; Faith Huggett, vice president; Frances Jennings, secretary; Margar­et' Scott, treasurer. and presented a goal toward which to sail. At 6:30 we dropped anchor, and never have the men lined the rail as tliey did that night to gaze at this-pretty little, town nestled among the hills. The sunset was gorgeous, and still water gave a finishing touch- In­deed, the . sight was thrilling. But that was not all. When the men got ashore they were by no means disappointed in what awaited them there.

KEMPHAUS M GO. ^ Bellmgliam's Lowest Price Coatand Suit Store - DRY GOODS, MILLINERY WOMEN'S FURNISHINGS BENEFITS OF THE WAR Aside from the League of Nations and other theoretical and idealistic results, America has gained some real, practical experiences from the Avar which, ultimately, will prove of the greatest benefit, if properly ap­plied. In the first place, the isolation of the early days of the war threw us upon our own resources, forcing us to supply, through our own initia­tive, the various articles we were ac­customed to import from, across the sea. Previous to this time, Germany had dominated the field of chemistry. Undisputed, her scientists reigned in their laboratories, concocting all man­ner of infernal devices—also their far-famed dyes. The toys our child­ren received on Christmas morn bore the unescapable stamp of Germany; and yes,—many of the patriotic nov­elties that stirred oifr' souls came from that land of autocracy. And so, as I said before, the first result of the war was to point out our dependence upon other countries. The truth of the old adage, "Necessity is the mother of invention," was once again proved by the quick work of American chemists. Almost at once, they turned their dyes upon the mar­ket, and oh,—what beautiful results were possible!- Some thirteen differ­ent shades of the same basic color appeared in one yard of material, and if a criminal,' hiding from justice, were so unfortunate as' to be caught in a passing shower, he could easily be trailed by the color of the drip­pings on the sidewalk. But, "Rome was not built in a day," and, time and patience being in abundance, the number of shades per yard was re­duced to five, and, in a few remote instances, even to three. And today, through accepted custom, American dyes are well recognized members of society. It might be well to state, at this point, that they are also easily recognized. Another field, in which we have a more sincere claim to success, is that of ship-building. Durng the decade before the war, this industry had to a large extent passed away, the great-jer portion of American shipping be-jing carried in vessels flying a foreign flag- A complete turn-over, however, was effected by the war, and now, America has one of the greatest Mer­chant Marines in existence. This, the greatest of all benefits, is one which we must cherish and protect, in or­der to secure prosperity for our coun­try. • Commercially, we have had every opportunity to advance as a nation, but, in pre-war days, we neglected our opportunities and allowed a consider­able amount of trade to sweep into the hands of Germany. Considering our geographical position, it is but logical to assume that we should have the bulk of the South American trade. This we" lost completely on account of our not selling goods in the South American way. An instance, pointed out by a trade journal, tells of' the visit of an American salesman to a South American business house with the assumed object of selling a large order of men's collars. After stating, the amount of his intended purchase, the South American told the salesman that the sizes of the collars must be marked according to the metric sys­tem used in Argentine. This the salesman refused to do, telling the merchant, that, if he desired Ameri­can made merchandise, he must take them just as he found them. The mer­chant, in turn, refused. Crsosing the street to a German concern, he placed his order with the smiling and bowing clerk, who readily acquiesced to his proposal.. Take this one example; magnify it; extend it to the whole trade world; you can readily see the reason for Germany's commercial success. Now that the war is over, they are al­ready preparing for the commercial battle. Once again, the salesmen of Germany will sweep over the earth, and, with smiling faces, solicit the trade of pre-war days. Shall we of America sit.idly by and allow this fruit of victory to be snatched from our hands? What does tomorrow hold in store for us? Shall we arise and maintain our commercial supremacy, or shall we sink into ob­livion. A regenerated commercial Germany can once again -menace the world- Shall we, with our ships and in­dustries, block the way, or shall Ger­many drink the cream of trade and wax fat thereon? In, the final analysis—that is the vital question. HERBERT HANSEN. If you want to be well informed, take a paper; even a paper of pins Avill give you some pointers. —Selected.

But gradually the drama left the people and became a specialized art of enter­tainment, produced in commercial play-houses by people trained for the art. A great tool for social betterment has thus been left to a few, while the many have become mere passive spectators. It is a most encouraging sign to those interested in social betterment to note the tendency of the times for the drama to return to the people. One of the big factors in war work was the training of the men in the ranks to entertain themselves and fellows by their own enacted plays- The com­munity pageant, a blendx of local or national -history with music, action and dance has now become a recog­nized social art. The great- Masque of St. Louis and the production of Calaban in New York, produced by thousands of the citizens of these cities, drawn from all ranks, have shown in' recent years what a peren­nial source of interest the drama has for the people themselves. From Provincetown on the Atlantic to the Greek theatre of Berkeley, the move­ment for amateur dramatics has been growing and spreading. The fact is that communities have been coming together in recent years to listen to politics, lectures on vari­ous topics or to witness entertain­ments. Yet in all such gatherings the audience is more or less the passive recipient. What people need%ow is a mode of self expression, of self inter­pretation. The community drama'fos­ters this. When a community can entertain itself, it ceases to bore it­self: We live in a machine world; each community should have some vivid mode of self expression to coun­teract the deadening effect of routine occupation. The interesting fact about the dramatic is that people who do not exercise the emotions may find in it a mode of spiritual calasthehics. Spiritual sinews become weakened as well as the physical. How little we Jind of the expression of positive emotion, laughter, joy, sympathetic in­sight in our social intercourse these days. The exercise of the dramatic in­stinct in the acting of plays calls for a more colorful, instinctive, feeling lar-guage. This is the language of the tone or the action. Wholesome, normal and brotherly points-of-view as to man in his community relation­ships may be cast into dramatic form, to be actually lived for the time of re­hearsal and production by the people of the vicinity. The dramatic mode of thought calls upon one to do, to ate, to embody, to manifest instinct­ively the kind of thought he is hold­ing. This exercise can hardly fail to leave, a deeper impress upon the soul than intellectual discussion. Brother­hood is basicly an emotional condition of the social mind. / One cannot argue it, he must achieve it, live it, feel it. There is no doubt that there' is to come a time when communities will act out, with music, situation, winged spokejh words and, appealng move­ment, the ideals for which so many now. dumbly strive. Some attempt'is being made, in a modest fasihion, in the Bellingftiam Normal to train teachers to use this splendid tool in communty work. The department of expression has designed a course in community dramatics where the new literature of short plays will be studied and acted. It is planned to make this course a kind of a community stock company. vThe work will be offered each quarter and new groups entering it will form the company for the quarter, presenting one or two illustrative programs to bring the study to fruition as a prac­tical culmination of the work. It is not especially desired that those of marked dramatic talent present them­selves for enrollment in th lt;e Com­munity Company. Each one has the ability to think dramatically and one of the delightful and surprising things in amateur dramatics is the real abil­ity it discovers. THE STORY OF ARITHMETIC A special assembly was called on Monday afternoon and Dr. L. C. Kar-pinsky an expert in mathematics of the University of Michigan addressed the students upon the science of num­bers, which he said was not a develop­ment of one nation or people at one time or stage of civilization but has been the combined work and growth of the civilized world. The story begins with the begin­ning of civilization. The earliest rec­ord we have of the development of arithmetic is in the form of a school boy's copy book and has been said to be what we would today call a stu­dent's note book. It contains criti­cisms in red ink similar to the correc­tions of the modern teacher. The work is hieroglyphic. For the number system the picture idea was used- For instance,' the lotus flower represented . 10,000 and an extinct flower form was used to represent 100,000. • Various nations of the world have contributed to the development of the science of arithmetic. Egypt gave hieroglyphics • for number symbols, also the beginning of algebra. From Babylon we derived the degrees, squares, cubes, etc. This nation used the sixty system from which came our use of the decimal system. The Babylonian tablets for multiplication possibly suggested our machine sys­tems. This nation also taught astron­omy to the Greeks. The Greeks -did not contribute much to arithmetic but they did to geometry. - About 600 A. D. a philosopher in India came upon a great idea. It was a symbol representing "Something for nothing," and this he called zero. This symbol was a great contribution to the science of numbers. From Persia came our Arabic system of numbers. In conclusion the speaker pointed but that arithmetic was not a fixed science but was con stantly changing and that as teachers we should be LISTEN THE WEEKLY MESSENGEB is published fby the Students' Association of your school.

RUSSIA'S PITIFUL PLIGHT "The center of our anxiety, my fel­low citizens, is in that pitiful country to which our hearts go out. that great mass of mankind whom we call the Russians. , "I never had the good fortune to be in Russia, but I know many persons who know that lovable people inti­mately. They all tell me that there is not a people in the world more gen­erous, more simple, more kind, more naturally addicted to friendship, more passionately attached to peace than the Russian people; and yet, because the grip of terror that the autocratic power of the czar had upon them, they were unable to bear it and threw it off, and they have come under a terror even greater than that. They have come under the terror of the power of men whom nobody knows how to find. One or two names everybody knows, but the rest—intrigue, terror, inform­ing, spying, military power, seizure of all the food obtainable in order that the fighting men may be fed and the rest go starved. And these men have been appealed to again and again by the civilized governments of the world to call a constituent assembly and let the Russian people say what sort of government they want to have and they will not—they dare not do it. And that picture is before the. eyes of the very nation. Shall we get into the clutch of another sort of minority? ,''My fellow citizens, I am going to de­vote every influence I have and all the authority I have from this time on to see to it that no minority commands the United States." President Wilson's speech. —P.-L, Sept. 14. REPAIRS COMPLETED All the repairs, renovations and im­provements undertaken by the Normal school have been completed The new work includes concrete walks around the training school and science annex­es, a new entrance to the basement of the training school annex, and a new heater in the heating plant, which is now ready to burn oil. The roofs have been repaired, the campus great­ly improved and the exterior of the buildings painted. MRS. VINCENT SINGS AT ASSEMBLY The assembled students on Monday morning were privileged to hear Mrs. W. H. Vincent, a talented soloist. She was accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Mathes. The selection "Good Bye" by Mowther, was especially in­teresting by reason of its having been composed by a Seattle man. She sang '"Nuthin" by Carpentier, "Wake Up'? and responded with .encores. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1919 September 25 - Page 8 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1919 ..September 24, 1919. The Wednesday morning assembly v/as an especially interesting one, as following the; usual reading of No­tices, and announcements, Dr. Nash surprised a number of the members of the faculty by calling on them for impromptu speeches on various subr jects of interest. . While Dr. Nash was still talking,, tiny Miss Roth came up on the platform bearing a silver tray on which were a rose and a note. Upon reading this note, Dr. Nash found therein an invitation ex­tended by the Y. W. C. A. to the mem­bers of the student body and faculty to attend a reception Friday evening in the Y- W. rooms. Dr. Nash read the invitation aloud, and thanked the Y. W. on behalf of the school. Miss. Beardsley was the first mem­ber of the faculty called upon, and she made a few well chosen remarks regarding our part in the "Salvation Army Drive"- which is on this week. She expressed pleasure at the willing­ness with which subscriptions were being given, and also felt sure, that we would more than fulfill our quota, §200.00 being asked of the Normal. Next;' Miss Wilson gavie?-. a brief summary of her visit to the meeting of the Pacific Northwest Library As­sociation which was held in Vancou­ver. She named the different topics which had been discussed that were of particular interest, and especially lurgejd that teachers in the public schools develop a broader interest in the teaching of the use of good library books. The delegates, while in Van­couver, were treated to a yacht trip, drive out to the Stanley Park, a banquet, and a concert given by the musical artists of Vancouver. Professor Kibbe was called on to tell a little about his recent trip to Olympia in the interests of "Applied Tests and Scales."' The members of the committee were taken to an at­tic room in the Capital which was oc­cupied by two or three tons of stand­ardized tests and measures. He stated that Mrs. Preston was especi­ally anxious that more stress should be placed on the art of reading, and hoped through these standard tests to be able to improve the subject of reading as a result. Miss Sperry.gave a very interesting account of her year at Berkeley, and; made us all wish that after .we left our own Normal we might sometime have an opportunity to go there. She mentioned especiia;lly the spirit of cordiality and goodwill that: exists there, and that is the spirit that we wish to cultivate here. We hope to hear more about Berkeley when the .time is not so limited- Mrs. -Thatcher mentioned her pleas­a n t / t w o weeks on the Islands this suirimier, and said that she hopefd every student would be able to take _a trip over to some, of the Islands be­fore, leaving Bellingham. •:"Mr.- Philippi told us that the con­tracts had just been received for some splendid motion pictures which will be shown at various times dur­ing the year, and also expressed the belief that we would be able to get another set of pictures before very long which would be most acceptable to us all. . Last, but not least, Dr. Herre brief­ly mentioned the beauties of our won­derful Mt. Baker, and he has prom­ised to tell us something of the plan that is being formulated to build a. lodge on the site of the mountain which will make trips to that region more comfortable and delightful. We will all look forward to this future talk. Dr. Nash told of having received a letter from the Chaplain of the Ar­kansas, one of the visiting fleet, and he enclosed ,a copy of the paper that is printed aboard the boat called the "Arc." The paper mentioned the beauties of this part of the sound, the wonderful sunset they saw here, and how royally the people of Bell­ingham had treated them. MERCHANTS ALL Have you noticed the sign in the lower hall up near the cafeteria? It is your sign stating that you are in the business of selling student' sup­plies. You say you have nothing to do with it? Well, you are misin­formed. The "Students Co-op" is a student affair, originally financed by the Stu­dents Association-but now self sup­porting and controlled by the Stu­dents Association. It is not a money making business. If it was, the only people that the money could go to are the students of the Normal for you are its only stock holders. Do you know what you carry in stock? Have you compared the prices you are charging with those of your competitors? Have you ever thought about trading at your store and get­ting the benefits of very low prices? Do it now. You are a Normal student. The Normal is expecting you to support her in every way. Did you know there is a Choral Club, a Y. W. C. A., Junior and Senior Classes, Literary Clubs and- Social Clubs, all of which you should get in touch with? Are you giving your' support to the (Mes­senger? Do you look at the joke column and throw the paper away or do you read the paper? When you-go shopping do you patronize your ad­vertisers ? It is all a part of your business. You're in Normal now. . Think about, it and then act- "Trade at Home" is the slogan of the town. It is also the slogan of J;he school. "Trade.at Home." Its the surest way to save money. - Since high school graduation is the basis of entrance to the Normal school and the high school department of the training school has been abolished there is no longer any justification for offering courses of lower than college grade. AH courses in physics and chemistry are therefore now college credit courses. College physics and college inorganic chemistry have been given in previous years, but by the omission of more elementary courses this year it has become possible to offer a course in organic chemistry for the first time. Considering the limited opportunity students have for .pursuing elective courses, the en-rollment in all the above courses; es­pecially the new course in organic chemistry^ is very encouraging. However, when one stops to con­sider that' science is at the root of everything that distinguishes v our twentieth century civilization in a ma­terial way from" all the ciyilizaton of the past and that the scientific meth­od of thinking and investigating has revolutonized the intellectual proc­esses of the thinking members of the human -race, it seems clear that sci­ence has not yet received due recogni­tion in school, curricula. It is still possible, strange as it may seem, for students to go through the" grades, through high school and through col­lege "without systematic training in science. An individual so trained—or rather, so untrained—is intellectually deaf, dumb and blind in his relations to a large part of modern life and its activities. • If the makers of school curricula do not see to it-that all students re­ceive definite scientific training, they should at least elect liberally from the science courses available- A green little boy, In a green little way, A green little apple ; Devoured one day.

Ry Somerville, chairman of the board of Lewis county commissioners, and Geo. W. Nash, president of the Bell­ingham State Normal School. At the same time Gov. Hart an­nounced the appointment of H. L-Bras, editor* of The Centralia Daily Chronicle; Judge A. B. Rice, of Che-halis, and F. A. Hazeltirie, editor of the South Bend Journal, as - the trus­tees for the new school. Mr. Bras is appointed for six years, Mr. Hazel-tine for four years and Judge Rice for two years. The Normal School site borders the city on the east. It is only a few blocks away from the business sec­tion of the city and will present a beautiful view from passing trains. Its selection, it is believed, meets with general public approval. r Comprises 20 Acres The site comprises approximately 20 acres and was owned by Dr. J. Hr Dumon, Dr- Lee Sacre, J. M. Bene­dict Sr., and Tom Rowswell. % The selection bf tjhe site marks another step in the location of the new educational institution, an ap­propriation for buildings for which will be made by the next legislature. Mr. Bras, who, by virtue of his long term, and his deep interest in the es­tablishment of thel Normal making his services especially valuable, was chairman of the Chamber of Com­merce committee that conducted the campaign for the passage of the Cen­tralia Normal School Bill by the last legislature.

RESOLUTION CONCERNING REGISTRAR: On motion of Trustee Smith the President was commissioned to draft a resolution expressing apperciation of the service rendered by the retiring Registrar. RESOLUTION: The Board of Trustees of the Bellingham State Normal School accept with sincere regret the resignation of Registrar J. M. Edson. During the six years of his official connection with the school, Mr. Edson has proved painstaking and efficient to a high degree. As the appointed agent of the Board he has been uniformly tactful and courteous in his dealings with students, teachers, employees, and the public. He has been an honest and careful custodian of the State funds, using such keenness in expenditures as would be shown in the conduct of private business. His experience as printer and school board member has made him doubly useful in the responsible position he has filled. During his term of office the duties of Registrar have expanded materially and have become very exactingm but he has met, easily and without complaint, every new demand upon his time and energy. He is popular with the faculty and employees, holds the esteem of students, and is respected by Bellingham business men. He has systemmatized his office and leaves it in perfect order. Withal he is a fine, well rounded gentleman, whose services the Board are loath to lose. The best wishes of the School will always go with Mr. Edson. The Board then adjourned. ##

BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 21, 1919 No. 44 POPULAR PLAY WELL READ BY MR. HOPPE Victor H. Hoppe most admirably entertained the students at the Nor­mal Thursday evening when he read "The Man From Home" by Booth Tar-kington and Harry L. Wilson. The scene of the story, laid at Sor­rento, Italy, written before the great war, constitutes a play of four acts. The characters of special interest were Dan Pike, American lawyer from Indiana, Horace and Ethel Simpson, also formerly residents of that Hoosier state, but living in Europe at that time; an English lord, his wife and son who contemplates marriage with Eiss Ethel Simpson. A Russion count in disguise as a German, and last a Russian fugitive. Dan Pike proves invaluable to the Russian count who is having consider­able trouble with his automobile when traveling to Sorrento, Italy. They reach their destination at the hotel much to the disgust of the English party who rather feel intruded upon by these crude people. The Russian fugitive while fleeing from his captors accosts Dan Pike as he is working upon the car. Pike hides him under the car and succeeds in appeasing the curiosity of the soldiers in pursuit, when they question him, and the fugitive is safe for the present. Further disclosures show that he is a man of education, a translator, but had been under employ of the Russian gov- . ernment, and while in that position was accused and convicted of taking money from the government. An Eng­lishman in Russia at that time had brought the conviction upon him and at the same time robbed him of his wife; His. aim after escaping from Siberia was to search for these two and gain revenge. In the meantime the English lord tries to arrange the marriage for his son, and secure a dowry of $750,000 from Miss Simpson, over which Dan Pike has control, as he was the ap­pointed guardian of the Simpson child­ren. Dan, upon seeing the probable future son-in-law, refuses to give his consent. Miss Ethel, as well as her fiance's family, are up in arms over the situa­tion and by strategy expect to force Pike to comply with their wishes, since the English lord knows Dan Pike as well as the Russian Count are harbor­ing the fugitive, which is a crime itself. Pike, however, in an artless way learns that the English lord was no other than the man who ruined the (Continued on page two) •}•-..—•, Twentieth Annual Commencement SUMMER SESSION STATE NORMAL SCHOOL Bellingham, Wash.'

S., read the one act play, "The Maker of Dreams" in As­sembly Wednesday. ' The play was an interesting one. Pierrot, manager of a company of strolling singers, has an ideal woman for whom he is ever looking. Pierette, a companion, is in love with her man­ager, but the latter is always too busy searching far away for his Ideal to realize that his comrade possesses all of .the necessary qualities. At last the "Maker of Dreams" aids him in discovering his love for Pierrette. It was a charming play and well inter­preted. Miss Grue was a graduate of the "class of '13%." She attended the Cumnock School of Expression in California. That she had not forgotten the days when she was a student here, was proved by her remark, "I also used to want assembly to run into the next hour." STUDENTS PlAY AT EXPENSE OF FACULTY Last Friday in assembly the faculty members were given a rare treat. Never again will they be able to cry "O wad some power the giftie gie us, to see oursel's as ithers see u s ! " Under the inspired direction of Mr. Lowman, alias Dr. Nash, various stu­dents occupied the faculty seats on the platform, and impersonated the dignitaries as best they could. We had no difficulty at all in recog­nizing Dean Woodard, Mr. Bever, Mr. Bond, Miss Baker, Ds. Herre, Mr. Coughlin, or Dr. Nash. Others were slightly questionable as to identity.

Hot dogs and coffee, dough­nuts, .peaches—um! And then of course marshmallows without which no beach party could be complete. And how popular the eats lady was. She, had a time trying to string those . eats out far enough. "Another:mouth to feed is another mouth - excepting when it's a boy's, then it's.a regular bureau drawer!" And by the time those who hiked out and the baseball fans arrived ev­ery one had about finished eating. Meaning' they had. about finished the eats. Irma to the rescue. She proved herself a "shero" in the hour of our great need, and uncovered a whole box of marshmallows to our famished gaze. Another friend of humanity made more coffee and there you were —marshmallows and coffee—a repast -for the gods. -Add a good beach, a wonderful sunset, a jolly crowd—truly a regular time. HANDBOOK REVISED Under the direction of Elwyn Bugge, president of the students' association, and other members of the student board of control, the 1918-1919 Stu­dent's Handbook is in the process of revision for the coming school year 1919-1920. It is the purpose of the Board to have this helpful little book ready for distribution by time school opens in the fall. The Kodak Store The members of the faculty wish to extend their thanks and appreciation to Mr. Shusman for his helpful sugges­tions inchis address at assembly last Friday. Mr. Coughlin is going to spend his two weeks vacation on the farm on Lopez Island. Miss Barhart will spend the next week visiting in Portland. We were glad to see Miss Meade sitting with the faculty at assembly Monday. Miss Meade, the school nurse, •has been in Seattle this summer and •visited the school Monday. Mr. Hoppe has expressed his inten­tions of joining the fraternity known as "Ford Owners of America." He says he intends to move to the suburbs of the city; and must have a Ford as a necessary means of transportation to and from school. May his tire and engine troubles be few. Miss Anna Bagstad, one of the summer school teachers of the foreign language department, translated a play "The Romancers" by Rostand from the French into English, and pro­duced it three years ago. Her trans­lation of the play has been recently published in "Poet Lore." Miss Bagstad will spend next week visiting in Portland. Mr. Parish will take up his work in the extension department in Seattle this fall. The students have enjoyed the com­munity singing under the leadership of Mr. Parish the last term of the summer school. One day last week Mr. Coughlin was late to Agriculture class. As he en­tered the room, he found- the seats unoccupied and this note on the board: the week for South Dakota to spend his vacation on his brother's stock ranch. He will return to Seattle the last of September where he will enroll in the University. POPULAR PLAY WELL READ BY MR. HOPPE (Continued from page 1) life of another. Thus the tables are turned and Pike holds the upper hand. The wife of the English lord is no other (than the former wife of the fugitive and these two are re-united. Revenge is reduced to the idea of de­stroying the name of the Englishman in his own land, and through the Rus­sian count the fugitive is entirely ex­onerated. Ethel Simpson is now given her own choice in the matter, and indirectly we see that she will marry no other than "the man from home." Mr. Hoppe portrayed the characters most vividly and in a most realistic manner, proving his excellent ability in that art. -«-~a—MSI STUDENTS PLAY AT EXPENSE OF FACULTY fuNIVERSAL) ELECTRIC IRON Saves Coal Saves Steps Saves iWork Launders the Heaviest Linen or the Daintiest .: Lingerie Universal Sold'By PUGET SOUND TRACTION, LIGHT POWER CO. *~ 1 t ENCBERC D K CO.

Mr. Lowman was so perfect in his representation of the President, that the audience had to rub its eyes sev­eral times in order to convince itself of the fake. Mr. Schusman did a clever piece of work in advising the faculty, much after the manner of visiting speakers. We regretted the brevity of his speech, but the ever-wstchful pseudo-president called time on him. Perhaps the most startling feature cf the whole program was the well-sustained, and highly amusing charac­terization of the Dean. Miss Dorothy Jones is an actress, we all concede that. If all the faculty members have prof­ited by the advice of their student-imitators, and have taken to heart the well-intended dig at personal eccen­tricities, then the assembly was a great success. At any rate it was in tensely amusing. We Make Every­thing Run that Has Wheels. GEO. E. LUDWIG Watch Expert—Diamond Setter 1249 Elk St. Alaska Bldg. Bellingham, Wash. The Iconoclast The late Count de Lesseps never seemed to lose sight of the educa­tion of his children; even in the small­est detail. One morning at breakfast, says the Wisconsin News, a beautiful Dresden' teacup was broken. "Ah!" crierd the countess, "a disas­ter! Two more of that set will now be broken. It always happens so." "Are you so superstitious," asked the count, "as really to believe that two more will be broken?" "I know ft." "Then let us get it off our minds." And, taking two of the cups by the handles, he dashed them together. The anger and dismay of the count­ess proved conclusively that she had not seriously believed the supersti­tion. It also loosed any hold the ab­surd idea may hove had on the minds of the children. GOOD FOOD EXCELLENT SERVICE REASONABLE PRICES \~safe *~s\.icneLleu WALTER 3.

IMPOTENCY I know why lovely roses bend In humbleness toward the earth. I know why grasses lean and touch The dark hillside; why cypresses Grown stiff with age, struggle to grasp The rocks beneath them; why the winds Cry ever with a mournful song Over the sea and through the land. I know why I shall ever weep Though proud days come, and laugh­ter go Beside me on swift wings of light. There, is too much of beauty left In the great space beyond my soul— Too full a measure for the gap That I shall make to let it through. Here is a thin and trembling reed Waiting to play a symphony. Here is my heart—against it press • The tides of beauty, coming on In pulsing tenderness and strength, Like seas of everlasting love, Like seas of everlasting pain. —GLHNN HUGHES. *. CONCERNING PATRIOTISM In view of the social unrest prevail­ing in this country at the present time, "education for patriotism" be­comes a problem of vital importance to the teacher and to the community. There is particular danger in that form of patriotism which drugs the critical faculty and| proclaims "My country right or wrong" as the highest standard for the citizen of a democ­racy. All the activities of the National Security League notwithstanding— this sort of patriotism paves the way to a terrible awakening. We .see how it worked itself out in Germany. Dare we teach a one-sided loyalty, when we have such an object-lesson before us? Honest criticism is one of the most valuable elements of social thought in a democracy. By its means, the evils which lie at the basis of unrest can be corrected by law, according to the dictates of an enlightened social con­science. Without this exchange of opinions and knowledge of issues in­volved, we suppress forces which too often end in revolution. In the light of social tendencies, we see the need for the tolerance which makes peaceable readjustment possible. The education for patriotism must present both sides of every ques­tion which confronts the world today. We must have open discussion in our schools, if we are not to have secret plottings against our government. De­mocracy, to endure, must rest upon the broader patriotism which would correct the flaws in our institutions, not ignore them. In the interest of that larger ideal, let us present social problems to young people in the reasoning spirit demanded by justice, in order that they may solve them; let us abandon the false psychology which would kill an idea by crushing it. —L. G. LIBRARY VANDALISM To you, the student body of the Normal, is addressed this special apr peal. Perhaps not to all of you, but to the few of you who sometimes forget to have consideration of the needs of the other students. Should he suffer the loss of a lesson because you choose to destroy a few pages of a book? Should he fail to read the conclusion of a story because the. last page has been mutilated, or probably because the issue of the magazine containing the concluding episode of the serial is nowhere to be found? Is it not up to you, Mr. Student, to defend the reputation of our school, and to co-operate , with Miss Wilson and all those who really want our li­brary to remain one of the best school libraries of the state. Student co-operation is the main factor needed in this matter, and for the honor of the school, it is necessary for the student to heed this call and do his best to uphold the good name of the Normal. You who are going to remain at the Normal this fall, should feel it your duty to encourage the incoming stu­dent to respect the rules and regula­tions of the library. Begin now—CO-OPERATE. —W. E. H. ALL ABOARD! Six hundred people will be leaving Bellingham tomorrow—part of them on the boats, part on the trains, and interurban. How many of you have your trunks packed and have engaged your expressman at least fifteen min­utes before time to leave? Which car are you going to take? Pile on the Women's Apparel of Quality ADVANCE SHOWING OF LATEST AUTUMN MILLINERY A New Department located on the Mezzanine last one? Remember the cars run on the quarter hour. In order to make the 12:20 train you had better leave on the 11:55 car. As the ten o'clock boat leaves befere the exercises are over, many of you will probably leave on this train. Also please remember the baggage man won't be able to check your trunk if you wait until the last minute. Perhaps if prospective teachers could see themselves as they go trail­ing out of here with everything imag­inable (left out of their trunks) it would induce them to get ready in time to maintain their poise. It will not be necessary for any one t.o leave before the exercisesjare over, as they will have plenty of time. Remember not to save all your fond "farewelling" until the train pulls in. Go away carrying with you the pleasant memories of a happy summer and inspiration and renewed energy for a profitable year. —M. A. WISHES If wishes came true and you could wish and wish and wish all of the time—wouldn't somewhere in your dreams come this: "Oh! I wish I were rich and had millions and millions of dollars"? Here is one sure way—and the only way—to get that particular wish. You must be very careful to follow directions or all will be lost! Track it out to some lonely, god-for­saken spot—hills, forests, or even des­ert, will do, and buy up for a few strings of beads or a few copper pen­nies— a couple of hundred acres of land. Be sure it is the cheapest land you can find—it must also be at some future time the very center of a great and prospering-city. Then sit down and wait. Everything comes to him who waits, you know— therefore sit down and wait. Wait until your back yard becomes the front door of that twenty-two story building, and your cow pasture becomes another flat-iron building. "All bunk!" you say. But is it? Isn't that the way our great-grandfathers did it—and are we going to be great­grandfathers some day, too? —M. H.

Dear Jane, I'm sorry I couldn't write to you be­fore but I've been so busy doing things here this summer school I haven't had time to write about them and that's the truth, Jane, I came up on the boat from Seattle. Really, my dear, the cutest steward. Loucygne, the girl I was with told me the crabby, worried looking ones were probably bound for Normal and after six weeks treatment you wouldn't know them. Wasn't it the truth? This is some place up here, I'll tell the world! You ask me if I'm coming back? My dear, you should see some of the attractions. Men and faculty and scenery and everything. The most wonderful hill just back of the Nor­mal, just made for a setting for a school. And the grandest buildings— just like Walla Walla and Medical Lake—lots bigger than Smith's gro­cery in our home town even. It was the funniest thing the very first day I was here I found the engine room. I really wasn't looking for the engine room. But there it was. Not even an engineer in sight. Maybe it wasn't an engine room. Anyway I got out afgter a while and came up for air. I haven't been back since but I thought that was pretty clever to find it the first day. I'll bet some of the facuty, even, have never been down there yet, don't you, Jane? Of course I really didn't want to go but that's where I got. And the faculty. Of course any one is apt to make a mistake sometimes, although I don't hardly ever. But SANITARY MEAT MARKET FRESH AND CURED MEATS FISH AND POUI/TRY 1017 Elk Street • • •I" • Gage- Dodson Co.

It seems they only looked that way because they were still feverish from registering people. Registering is lots of fun, Jane. Sort of like taking out life insurance, only more" complicated. You have to know about your- relatives, what they died of and all that, sort of thing, you know, Jane. Never register if you can help it, Jane. That's my advice. Almost the first thing that happened was the mixer on the campus, Jane. The campus is where we can't walk, Jane, only band concerts and times like that. Well, we sure walked on it some that night, also galloped, also leaped and kangarooed and any other way to get around with speed. Then we ate ice cream. Lots of fun, Jane. I thought about that time we swiped (he freezer from the Methodist Social. Did you know Ora is in school here, now? Then Human-Scheink came to town and we all rushed to peanut gallery. That's where you fight your way to the top. Some more regular people we heard were: Guy Manners, Ida Tarbell, Bishop Quayle and Dr. H. L. Southwick. All the highbrows come up to Normal, Jane. They all like our scenery, too. Oh yes, Jane, we all went up to Mount Baker for an excursion. The scenery is truly wonderful. I am not going to bother to go to Europe after all, Jane. Of course it was some hike and every one^ groaned every time he moved for weeks afterward but it was well worth it, Jane. Laicile and Reggie and Margaret and some of the girls tried to die entirely. But it was worth it. And then we had some drama. You'd like that. Mr. Hughes and Mr. Hoppe each entertained us. The expression class put on some nice plays, and the Thespians had a play. There are lots of things to go to over here, Jane. You never need to stay in nights for Jack of some place to go like you do at some of the Normal schools. Well, I won't mention names, but you know where I was last summer, Jane. And hot—it never is, here, just right. But there, I know you've' decided to pawn your diamond and mortgage the farm, Jane, so you can come to Bell­ingham to school and I haven't even told you about the sage-brush party or the botany trip or the beach party or Chautauqua, or about the D. A. Y. men, or how good looking the presi­dent of student body is or what good singing they have in assembly or any­thing. But I've got to quit, Jane. I have a test in sociology for this morning. Sociology is about a lot of things it would take me too long to tell you about, Jane. Think of something hard, like rocks. Goodbye, Jane. Your friend, Hazel Nut. KEMPHAUSm CO.

Even George Ade Shouldn't Have Shot This! George Ade was once traveling in Arabia. He had as a companion a man who had spent several years in that country. One evening they met an old man, and Ade's friend started a conversation. After several minutes of fruitless effort he turned to Ade and said: "I've spent years learning the Arabic language, and yet I can't understand a word he is saying." "Oh, I wouldn't worry," said Ade consolingly; "the old duffer has lost all his teeth. He is probably talking gum arabic."

So he went to an oculist and said: "Now I don't want two pairs cf glasses: one to see and one to read with. Make me one pair and make the upper part of long-range vision and the lower half for close range." This, in 1784, was the origin of the present bifocal glasses now in general use. There is a reported shortage of 60,000 teachers, which means that 60,000 persons decided that an average salary of $700 a year was not enough for the trouble of bringing up some­body else's kids.

Edens Hall Notes Owing to the check in Edens Hall's social life, there are few items of social interest, but many of domestic activities. When our poisoned seven­teen were on the second day of their misery, informed that nothing but water could be consumed bitter sar­casm reigned. But now the ban on food is lifted the consumption of food is marvelous. However we extend to the heartless tyrant of the starving days, Miss Mowbray, our deepest thanks for her ready attentions. Saturday night Edens Hall wrung merry sounds from the dining room, where her fleet-footed girls tripped lightly over the slippery floor. The dancers declared it a splendid dance even to scrubbing the floor at ten thirty. Miss Josephine Silvers was the guest of Room seventeen over the week end. Miss Silvers was an inhab­itant of Edens Hall last year. The "Sitton Ford" with Eva Maine in charge, carried six of the "Poisoned ROUGH AND DRESSED LUMBER. LATH AND SHINGLES. DOORS, WINDOWS, FRAMES.

Janet Dewhurst, Margaret Walker, Viretta Calhoun, Martha Patten, Marie Turner, and Bessie Dick will return to Seattle, and Margaret-Reynolds to Walla Walla. 'Gerold House The following poem by Grace Hen­derson, in regard to the biggest event of the past week is unanimously en­dorsed as "our sentiments." My dear Miss Mabel It seemed like a fable When the good expressman stopped , before our door. Said he'd something heavy as a rock From the town of Entiock We wondered where we'd heard the name before. So of course we stood about And our eyes they all stood about The surprise, you see, made all of us quite mute 'Till someone said it was from Mabel Then quick as we were able, We found the box was full of luscious fruit. We assure you 'tis a treat And one that's most unique We're devouring it in a manner most informal We can but one conclusion reach That is—you're the finest peach That ever came to bless the dear old Normal. —G. E. H. Last Saturday was a fine day to visit the fish canneries. Leota Wes- NOTICE Students who will not attend Normal n e x t year may have a "Messenger" mailed to them ev­ery week for one year by paying one dollar at the Stu­dent's Association room. The Weekly Messenger K. E. SELBY, Manager tervelt, Mrs. Westervelt and Anne Libby enjoyed an early morning visit-to the Bellingham canneries. Mrs.; Gerold and family visited the can­neries at Anacortes in the afternoon. Things We Are Thankful For That we've been here this summer. lt; That we are. going home. That thesis is nearly written. No more lesson plans. We have learned to swim and play tennis. We have one whole week of vaca­tion. We have only one trunk to pack. Thespian Notes Saturday another long mark went down in the annals of the Thespian good times. Every one assembled at the Owl—well, most weren't more than half an hour late and that's pretty good for people of temperament who can't be expected to. live by sched­ule. Finally Bill—oh yes, Bill had about everything to do as usual—had sandwiched every one in somewhere and the busses were off. Then it was, that it was first no­ticed that the girls were rather in the majority and we knew we were off in a regular Normal time. There were about twenty girls and six boys. It seems that some of the girls foolishly had men who worked on Saturday, or were going to be out of town or else they had accidentally mislaid them. Any way most.of them were not present, but those that were, were able to spread themselves over a great deal of territory—else how did all the girls have such a good time. "Help! Stop the car! Quick! Stop stopl My coat, stop!" came the be­wildering cries from the back seat of the big bus. Finally the cries trav­elled down to the front seat and the boat was stopped. It developed that a fair damsel had been waving her coat over the side of the car and it had been so disobliging as to fall out. Bill to the rescue. He did half a mile in one-half second flat and rescued that coat like anything. The next accident occurred when one of the fellows very carelessly lost a girl over the side of the car. She was gathered in a little scrambled, and the procession was off again. Pardon, the procession was on again. After reaching Birch Bay, sou-brettes, heavies, ingenues, leads and all.went in for a swim. Then while the lazies gazed on, Bill, Truman, Jack aDd Helen dug clams for the hungry mob. Baked them and everything. Where did Bill become so handy? He can even cook. Stand in line, girls. Don't crowd, please. And watermelon! Oh great, big, fat, juicy ones. Then back to the sand­wich act where we piled in three deep to come home, all agreeing that we had had a regular Thespian timej, which is one of the very best. Philo. Our last social event of the summer was .held at Toad Lake, last Saturday afternoon and evening. The lake, situated two miles above Silver Beach was reached by an ex­ceedingly bumpy road impassible to automobiles. Kenneth Selby had a hard job driving his Ford up there. Our company seemed to be divided up into pairs, due to the, fact that in? vitations to outsiders were extended. Arriving »t the Lake we were cor­dially greeted ibjy trapps of toads, great fat fellows who escorted us to camp in martial escort. Those toads had a very trusting way about them. One of them seemed rather peeved when refused the privilege of taking a swim in the coffee pot. Before the eats were served, some of us went swimming. Oh boy! If the water had been warmer it would have been uncomfortable. Selby and Oliver undertook to swim across the lake. While Oliver was resting on a log a big toad climbed up and sat down beside him. It may be surpris­ing, but somehow there seemed to be a strange likeness between the two. We all noticed it. The eats were disposed of in a ravenous fashion. Following this important function we all took a short but arduous climb to the top of the hill overlooking the camp. The view at the top was beau­tiful. At least Vernon says so. He de­clared that to him every day is Valen­tine's day. Philos old and new We bid you one and all, adieu There are better times ahead next year, So show with us, as before, good cheer. Parker House Juanita Bunch spent Sunday at Birch Bay with friends. Georgia Johnson, Martha Kjelstad and Luverna Johnston were enter­tained at a fudge party Sunday after­noon by Erma Brown of 513 High. Miss Stryker, Clara Willard and Marie Snoddy went xo Whatcom Falls Sunday afternoon for a few idle hours. We enjoyed a jelly-roll that "John­nie" received on her birthday. Juanita Bunch and Marie Snoddy visited the fish cannery Saturday morning. Tonight Parker House girls will be given a picnic at Whatcom Falls by Mrs. Underwood of Sedro-Woolley. Jameson Hall Three of the girls of our house are in the summer graduating class: Mrs. Rozella Douglass, Vera Cade, and Winifred Osten.

BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 14, 1919 No. 43 DR. NASH IN EAST Last Friday Dr. Nash left Belling­ham on a trip East. He will stop to see his mother in Canton, South Da­kota, on his way to Chicago. From Chicago he will go to Washington, D. ;C. There he will visit Government bureaus of Education, and confer with prospective teachers who are connect­ed with the Normal schools. From Washington, D. C, he will go to West Virginia and enjoy himself •by speaking at a number of County Institutes. He will assist the West Virginia teachers in arranging educa­tional programs. Coming home Dr. Nash will go by way of New York, Philadelphia, Chi­cago, through the twin cities over the Canadian Pacific to Vancouver and finally to Bellingham. Before leaving, Dr. Nash met the members of the Senior class and gave them his best wishes for their future success and happiness. He expressed his appreciation of the fine student body and cooperative spirit of the Nor­mal students. Dr. Nash expects to be back early in September. READY FOR .PARISH PRESENTS Commencement Exercises will be­gin tonight with a complimentary dra­matic play recital, "The Man From Home," given by Mr. Hoppe, at eight o'clock in the school auditorium. Friday, the school will have its last get together meeting of the year, with a picnic at Squalicum Beach at seven o'clock. Sunday morning, at eleven o'clock, in the Garden Street Methodist church, the Reverend George Carrol King will give the Commencement address. Wednesday, the twentieth, the fac­ulty will hold a reception for the grad­uating class, in Edens Hall, at eight o'clock. . Friday, at nine-thirty the graduation exercises will be held. Mr. N. D. Sho-walter, President of Cheney Normal, will give the address. The first two classes in the morn­ing will be held as usual, except that the two periods will be shortened.' This is the first graduation exer­cises that our President has been ab­sent from, but necessary business has called him to the East. In his absence Mr. Bever has taken his place. Monday's assembly was opened by a short devotional service lead by Mr. Bever. Mr. Parish then conducted the singing of a number of popular songs by the student body. Following this Mr. Parish gave a number of vocal solos, this being his program: . "A Son of the Desert" "Till the Sands of the Desert Grow Cold." A group of lullabys. "Carry Me Back to Ole Virginny." At the close of the musical num­bers, Mr. .Parish discussed the "home­ly philosophy" of Walt Mason. He introduced the poet by giving a short sketch of his life and the charac­teristic marks of his rhymes. He then read "Has Been's," a verse dis­cussing present day homes: a bit of advice to girls, and also to boys; the closing selection dealt merciful sys-pathy to the teacher. Mr- Parish program was much en­joyed by the student body. IS KNOCKED BY THE PRESIDENT At our Friday assembly, Dr. Nash outlined our program for the follow­ing two weeks, which promise to be very full and vaulable. Dr. Pon, who has been serving the Presbyterian chuirch in Bellingham, spoke a word of greeting and kindly wishes to the student body. Dr. Pon served as minister of the Presbyteri-j an church at Walla Walla. This being the last assembly that Dr. Nash would be with us, he gave us some parting advice concerning his favorite book on; '''slang." Dr. Nash admonished us to eradicate from our speech the phrase "You bet," for it is bad taste. "Listen" and "Sure," we use so commonly that, the worth and meaning of the words are lost. Dr. Nash endeavored to impress upon the students the value of silence, for "silence is golden," and by silence a truer appreciation of life is gained. During the past week three chem­ists and a bacteriologist from the United States Department of Agricul­ture have been using the Normal chem istry laboratory for research work on the spoiling of fish. Last year the government purchased vast quantities of canned salmon which was spoiled when it was opened. Since the process of canning prevents any decay, the conclusion was reached, that the fish was spoiled before it was canned. In order to protect the can-ner as well as the consumer, this in­vestigation has been made by the gov­ernment. Experiments have been made to test the length of time the fish can be kept after they are caught before being canned- A series of tests were made so that a definite conclusion could be reached. These tests showed that the fish could be kept for three days, but if kept longer, they would decay in the cans. Tests were also made to find out what organisms were present in the fish to cause decay. The final experiment was to keep fish for various lengths of time and can it. This is to be taken to the east, where the cans will be opened and ..therf i sfc analyzed;. • This, will-prove the conclusions of the experiment made here, so that in the future the department can tell by analysis if fish has been kept too long before canning. The men performing the experiment greatly appreciate the use of the Nor­mal school, as it was the only place in the city where the accommodations were such as to make the experiment successful. • They have extended an invitation for Dr. Nash to visit the chief department while he is on his trip in the east. The Normal school is glad that it can give assistance to the government work. lt;f FROM H O I " TONIGHT NORMAL TO EXHIBIT ITS ART AT YAKIMA «5* •$••$• *J» •}• «f« »$• «J« •$••$• »J» •$• »J» •*•*£» » • GENERAL SCHOOL MIXER : • Tomorrow night the entire • school will have its last-get to- • gether mixer at Squalicum • Beach.

It should be gratifying to this in­stitution to know that although both Ellensburg and Cheney were asked to exhibit, neither felt able to do so.

Mr. Hoppe will read the four act play, "The Man From Home," by Booth Tarkington and Harry L. Wil­son, Thursday evening at 8:15, in the Normal auditorium. The play is a clean, wholesome com­edy, full of interesting situations, re­plete with the genial humor and quaint philosophy of the American lawyer. Daniel Pike. The scene is laid at Sorrento, Italy. The comedy enters in the introduc­tion of a Horsier to the conventiali-ties, the customs and ruins of the country. Pressure is brought to bear, upon him to allow his ward, Ethel Simpson, to marry into English nobil­ity. He is not bluffed by titles. Mr. Hoppe calls it a play of Demo­cratic idea. PRESTON TALKS BILLS Mrs. Josephine Corliss Preston, state superintendent of public instruction, and president of the National Educa­tional Association, addressed the stu­dent body at Wednesday's assembly, on national educational questions. The state of Washington is greatly honored in having Mrs. Preston at the head of educational affairs of the nation. Some of the questions which have come before the national. government are vocational education, club work, public health, and' child labor laws. The latest bill, and one which^is of vital importance, is the Smith-Towner bill, which asks for a department of education in the national government, and a secretary of education in the President's cabinet. It also empha­sises the following points: Better com­pensation for teachers, better qualifi­cations for teachers, better system for rural schools, education fos adult illit­erates, Americanization of foreigners, and a public health department for rural schools. In speaking of the bill, Mrs. Preston said that teachers' compensation had not increased in proportion to the ad­vanced qualifications, and that teach­ers receiv T small-wages;~in~-comparir; son with the expense of education for obtaining the required qualifications. The bill asks for $100,000,000 a year from the federal government to supple­ment the state apportionment for teachers' compensation. In closing, Mrs. Preston made an appeal to the teachers to measure up to the ideals .which the National Edu­cational Association has set for them. Following Mrs. Preston's address, Dr. Nash introduced the other mem­bers of the party. Mils. Preston's mother, her nephew, and Miss Dickin­son, deputy state superintendent. Dr. W- L. Mellinger, one of the Chau­tauqua speakers, said a few words on the great need of education in Mexico to make that country one of the influ­ential nations of the world. Miss Bertha Crawford's brother and his family visited her over the week end. CALENDAR • Thursday, Aug. 14.—Y. W. C. A. meeting at 2 P. M. Mr. Hoppe will read "The Man From Home" at 8 P.

Skyline Ridge was the trail for Mt. Baker. They were a part of Dr. Herre's botany class and others totalling twenty-three who were Dr. Herre, Mr. Coughlin, Mr- Caskey, Inez and Helen. Herre, Gretchen Kaufman, Elizabeth Knapp, Florence Zander, Will Nobles, Elwyn Bugge, Lendre Roach, Helen Lemley, Georgia John­son, Hazel Beach, Waldo Chase, Nor-een Shuett, Ada Gardner, Mary Sharp, Alma Ackland, Ruth La Brash and Luverna Johnston. Dr. Herre took part of the crowd in his car and two stages took the rest to Giaour., Upon arriving at Glacier, Dr. Herre secured pack horses, but much to his and the crowd's disappointment the man in charge of the horses wouldn't take them up Heliotrope Ridge because he thought the trail too dangerous for the horses to get through with their packe. Skyline Ridge was the trail decided upon which was steep but not as long as Heliotrope Ridge. It was a very good trail and the view was wonderful. At frequent intervals Mr. Coughlin would search out his barometer and as luck would have it, it wasn't registering correctly but rude estimates of the height were called out now and then. Dr. Herre who was far in the lead would walk back now and then and encourage the weary ones. We arrived The Kodak Store ENGBERG DRUG CO. Corner Elk and Holly Sts.

What a delicious meal that was—clam chowder an' every­thing. After supper we watched the sun­set and later retired on beds made of boughs. The next morning most ev­eryone was glad to get up after hav­ing slept on such soft downy (?) beds. Hazel Beach woke up suddenly in the night and thought she was sleeping on her Alpine stock, and Bugge swears he slept on a six foot limb of some kind. At br'e kfast \^e found tfhat Dr. Herre proved to be a very proficient chef. He could flip flapjacks as quiek as a wink and they always landed squarely in the pan. After breakfast we took our lunch and hiked over the ridge about five miles. We had hiked for about an hour and then Dr. Herre called a halt and gave a lecture, pointing out the peneplain and other interesting points. We hiked on and climbed over snow and pine growth until we reached the top of the highest peak on the ridge. It was an altitude of 7,500 feet. De­scending this peak we came down on beautiful green meadows and the hik­ing was comparatively easy. The last point we reached was very rugged and steep. Nobles and Bugge reached the highest point on it. Mr. Caskey searched for a mountain goat that some of the girls saw, but couldn't find it. The large snow fields furnished a fine place for us to slide down. Dr. Herre was preparing to slide down on his Alpine stock and before he knew it he was half way down the slope traveling at a rate beyond all speed cops. M-r- Coughlin thinks that sliding is rather hard on clothing. On the return trip to camp some sought new paths, but were not so very successful in finding them short cuts. Another delicious meal was served tbat evening back in the camp. Sunday morning all were going to get up for the sunrise but as a, re­sult of fatigue from the previous day, slept on and when they did awake the golden ball was quite high. It was amusing to see the disfigured faces when we did wake up—some had their eyes swollen almost shut from "skeet-ev" bites, and other's noses were quite enlarged from the same cause. "Oh I Johnny, where's the skeeter medi­cine?" Chase had his head swathed in a towel and Dr. Herre and Mr. Coughlin had bandanas hanging be­low their hats, appearing much • like Hindus. Inez1 and Helefci Herre, Gretchen Kauffman, Elizabeth Knapp, Alma Ackland and Laura Krause were the cooks Sunday morning. They certainly won our hearts with those eats. Dr. Herre pronounced it a "boss' break­fast and we all heartily agreed. After breakfast we were engaged in bidding our favorite haunts adieu, fix­ing our lunch, and rolling blankets. Alma Ackland's blanket had a narrow escape from seeing the bottom of the valley when it rolled jauntily down the hill but was saved by lodging in a *-., „ ,,__, „ „ , mfr Friday and Saturday are the final days I of our 3rd Semi-Annual \ RUMMAGE WEEK Every nook and corner, both downstairs j and upstairs are contributing to this event.

The only skill required was putting brakes in action. We reached Glacier about five p. m-, where we met the stages. The trip home was exciting as we had a punc­ture in the tire of one of the stages and all had to pile onto the other one. Some were ridink en the running boards, on each side of the engine and most every place except on the license. We then had two successive punctures and after much delay ar­rived in Bellingham shortly after Dr. Herre had driven in. The stages not only brought home botany specimens, but also tired, torn, burned and bitten specimens of humanity. —L. J. Faculty Notes Miss Katharine Kooken is enjoying a visit from her mother.

The Guards' Division was inspected by the King at Buckingham Palace and had a triumphant march to wel­come them home. We saw the parade from the curb opposite to Bath House. The waiting throngs were nearly as wonderful as the procession. They were composed of hospital chappies in their blue uniforms, demobilized men with thefr ribbons and wound stripes on civil clothes; Australians, New Zea-landers, Canadians, Americans, sol­dier- girls in their various uniforms; and mutilated men of all the services. The trees of the park were dense with sailors who had climbed into the branches to get a bettr lookout. Every one was immensely cheery and kindly—there was no ugly and selfish shoving. The police were especially considerate in allowing wounded men to occupy the islands in the middle of the road where there was no chance of their being hustled. East End and West End rubbed shoulders to-day and showed the same respect for each other that not so long ago they had shown in the trenches. Presently, approaching from the Circus, we heard a military band. Then we saw the city police leading the procession. With a deluge of brazen music playing a march which had often led us into battle, the guards were upon us. You may think there was shouting; there wasn't. I don't know why other people were silent— all I know is that the lump was too big in my throat for me to shout. Such tired faces. Some were too haggard for words. • Others looked puffed with years of concussion and sleeplessness. All looked stoically indifferent and tragic. They had gazed on death and the gray monotony of hell. London had turned out to do them honor. Very nice of London, but London could never understand. Loos seemed a cen­tury away from us today; but ever since Loos these men had been there, tortured, dead with cold, mad with thirst, deafened by shells, seeing their comrades' bodies smeared across the landscape. They had never expectd that ordeal would end. And now that it had ended, London wanted them to march for its pleasure. London had done better to have given them its beds—and London, watching their weary bodies, marching upright and I You'll tired not feel so after study ] hours if your eyes I are free from strain.

Behind each battalion shuffled the wounded men ana behind them, in lorries, those who were maimed for life by their adventures. The bands might play their martial music, but here, plain for everyone to see, was the nemesis of military glory. They wore ribbons on their • breasts, it was true, but where was the youth of these young men and their reckless, defiant handsomeness? Their shoul­ders were bowed—there was hardly a six-foot man in a regiment. Before the war six foot was the standard of the Guards; no man was admitted under that. And the officers—the swells of aristocratic Britain—were just as crushed and puny. It was as though their head and shoulders had been telescoped into their chests by an immensely heavy burden. And these were the Guards, the crack fighting division of the British armies —the equals of the Dominion troops and the Highlanders, whom the Huns most dreaded. The tragedy of war, the pathos, the simple splendor of steadfastness to duty was here ex-ampled, but not the glory. Christ was not glorious when He bore the cross on the road to Calvary. He was heroic, yes—but not glorious. Had one stood in the crowd which watched Him, he would not have shouted. And so it was with us to­day— sacrifice does not call for cheers. I am glad that the Guards showed themselves, for they wrung the heart of England. They went away so tall—such splen­did animals. England knows now what the victory has cost her-fighting-men. Applause will not make them young again, nor grow fresh limbs on their bodies, nor put eyes back into sockets which are empty, nor cause the dead to rise out of their nameless graves and walk- Only love can make amends for what they have lost. At the head of each regiment wreaths were carried on furled ban­ners in remembrance of the comrades who would march no more. If the world would praise them, it must live out the love of their sacrifice for re­membrance. Wherever we march, through whatever cities of the future, the love of their exmaple must lead us. The Guards have * come back, as Christ came back from Calvary; the, marks of their dying are upon them. —Red Cross Magazine.

We students appreciate the work and preparation of our instructors in the subjects which they are teaching; but we appreciate far more their abil­ity to forget, once in a while, that they arc teachers, and mingle with us in our mixers, hikes, and excursions. For in doing this they are able to connect education with everyday life, which, after all, is the only education worth while. " The same principle applies to the Normal students. When we go into various communities as teachers, our influence will be felt just as far as we are able to connect school room education with real life. We need more social activities in our school, so that teachers and stu­dents may understand each other bet­ter, so that book learning may be connected with everyday life, and so that students and instructors may find in each other, qualities which will make them wish to be friends. ~ —G. E. W. c^§g WOMEN'S APPAREL OF QUALITY AND STYLE EDUCATION AND REAL LIFE In the back page of the annual cat­alog of the school, you may find a paragraph which contains this state­ment: "Seek advice and counsel free­ly from your teachers; they are yous friends. I wonder how many of us do regard our teachers as our friends, or how many teachers are capable of be­ing our friends. Sooner or later, all Normal students will leave this school and be absorbed in the busy, rushing world. But we will always carry with us memories of days spent here. When we look back over our Normal days, | we are not going to think of the daily REALITY AND A VISION "Is the messenger out yet?" "Yes. I glanced through it and threw it away. There wasn't much in it." "That's what I usually do—just glance through it and discard it." This was heard in one of the halls during a noon hour period. Of course we didn't get offended or angry, for perhaps there was some truth in it, but we were a little piqued to think that the efforts made to print all the news accessible and all that of inter­est worth printing was not appreciated to some degree. In order to have a "newsy" and live paper a considerable number of active happenings must take place. Summer school has not been particularly noted for its "pep" and school spirit. So don't blame the paper for not bringing you a weekly supply of vim and inter­est. Make things happen instead, and see if the Messenger doesn't keep up with you. Let's see if we can't create such fine school spirit and such an excel­lent weekly that when an outsider reads it, he will say, "Well, now I know where I'll go to school. Belling­ham Normal is just the place for me." And we see him regestering at the opening of the next quarter. —E. O. V. vertise "Free Air," why cannot we have fresh air? True, the summer ses­sion is almost over, but there will be other assemblies in the coming months and it is a fact that the student body would be more attentive were there an adequate supply- of fresh air. It costs nothing to obtain and.does an endless amount of good. —M. E. P. FRESH AIR Of the many good things given us this summer, there is one that we have not had but in meager amounts, and that is fresh air at the assembly peri­ods,. Oft gt;en one settles himself to enjoy the program, but close air soon makes everyone restless. And a most common remark heaitl at the close of the assembly is, "Wasn't it stuffy in there!" If garages can afford to ad- A LIVING WAGE FOR TEACHERS Last year Seattle, Wash., and this year Portland, Ore., have found it necessary to organize great citizens committees operating much after the fashion of war drives in order to se­cure from the taxpayers salaries at which the public school teachers can keep body and soul together, or at which the teachers can be kept at their jobs. For the teachers of Portland have, for two years now, seen the old­er boys leave their classes and go into the shipyards, and the girls into sten­ography at wages higher than teachers command. For six years Portand teachers in the first three elementary rades remain at the enticing salary of $80 a month from which they climb !by slow raises of $100 a year to a maximum of $1,200, while in the high­er elementary grades the annual amounts are only $900 and. $1,300. And even this represented an increase re­cently put into effect. In April the school dirctors voted a bonus of $100,- 000 which, pro-rated, amounted to an increase of $12 a month for seven months and scarcely helped among professional folk wno were paying $50 to $60 a month for lodgings and two meals if they were single, and were running heavily into debt, if they were married, as half of them are. The cost of living in Portland is reported to be notoriously high. •—The Survey. WOMEN WRITERS R. Brimley Johnson's "The Women Novelists," recently published is on a subject often largely overlooked in the development of English literature. It was the women novelists, according to Mr. Johnson, who "developed—and perfected—the domestic novel- They made novels a reflection and a cri­ticism of life- Ie seems curious that, with the possible exception of Char­lotte Bronte, women were all stern realists. But this last was nothing more or less, he argues, than a reac­tion against the prevailing brand of literature "for young ladies'* in which realities were kept carefully out of sight. —The Bookman.

BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 7,. 1919 No. 42 W. J. BRYON TRACES B Wm. Jennings Bryan spoke to a large and attentive audience at the Chautauqua Sunday evening. He is fifty nine years old and has lectured on the Chautauqua platform for twen­ty four years; still he has the power to hold the audience as of old. In speaking of reforms he said that whelfa 'they .became lawjS they had reached their angle of repose. It takes courage and patience to win a reform, for often it takes 25 or 51) years of agitation before it reaches "its angle of repose." Thje fifls1| reform, men^oned w)iis the election of senators by direct vote of the people. Though it was a hard fight, it would not return to the old regime, it had reached "'its angle of repose." It took seventeen years to settle the income tax, but it is settled and both parties share the honor. By the money derived from the income tax we are independent of the saloon li­cense in carrying on our government. The 3d reform .was Woman Suf­frage, which has been agitated for a number of years, but he felt confident that, both .parties; would unite in mak­ing it a part' of bur constitution in "the near future. "The world needs wom­en's vote more than the women need the ballot." The fourth reform was the abolition of the 'saloon after 50 years of effort by, both parties. The reform had Na­tional brewers' and distillers' associa­tions to fight, but it has no opposition from this source now, as the boot­leggers can't have a National Associa-ation. Mr. Bryan believes the returned sol­dier should take up his work where he left it, and if injured should be trained in vocational schools. The gcod road movement should be ex­tended to furnish employment as well as for improvement. In speaking of profiteers he said he considered the unscrupulous profiteer the darkest' stain upon our country in this war. We should have a fed­eral and local trade commission for protection from profiteers. In order to kill the germs of revolu­tion that are spreading, Mr. Bryan be­lieves we must destroy private monop­oly, the breeding place of the pluto­crat, who carries the germ of revolu­tion in his bite. The great science of government must be in the hands of the people.

The population of Norway, so Mr. Rindal said during the course of the talk which accompanied the pictures, is two and one-half million people, seventy-two per cent of whom live on farms; the remaining live in the few large towns and the scattered fishing villages. The government of Norway is very democratic, the king being merely a figurehead who does not even have the power of veto. The legislative power of the country is invested in an assembly of one hundred twenty-three members, who are elected • by secret ballot, for three years. The assembly is divided into two chambers, one-fourth of the members belonging to the upper house. All bills, must be passed by both houses of this assem­bly. The entire country is divided into twenty districts, which somewhat re­semble, .our,.statesman d. these are^ sub­divided into six hundred parishes, which correspond to our counties, and which manage all local -..affairs. Every one who is twenty-five, years of age and who has been a citizen of the country for five years is allowed to vite. Equal suffrage has been in effect since 1907. The pictures which were shown by Mr. Rindal consisted of scenes of the towns and farms; of the factories which are run by water power; and of the wonderful scenery of the moun­tains, fjords, and islands of that beau­tiful Northland. MISS TARBELL USES LINCOLN AS EXAMPLE The main feature of Monday's as­sembly was a short talk by Miss Ida M. Tarbell, one of America's leading writers and journalists. In order that each one may do his part in restoring order and-peace in the world, and lifting it to* a higher plane of civilization, there are two qulaities one must have. The first is a thoroughly trained mind that can think out the right solution and be able to express that thought so every­body can understand it. The second qualification is to pos­sess character enough to stick fast to one's own honest convictions,—to live up to one's thinking. Miss Tarbell has written an account of such a personality, Abraham Lin­coln. Although he had but very little education gained from a public school, he taught himself to think and then to act on those thoughts. Miss Tarbell has written aP- account of the life of Abraham Lincoln that is not only very instructive, but fas­cinating, as welli At Chautauqua, last Friday evening, W. J. Hundley, former mayor of Spo­kane, and a well known politician, .gave an address on "America- at the Parting of the Ways." Unity,- education, and immigrant Americanization were his main themes. He mentioned the fact that "War has taught us a lesson of essential unity." Americans should continue to work unitedly and use the Golden Rule as a guide to good citizenship. "The test of good citizenship," ne said, "is service." Education for citizenship and phys­ical perfection should be outstanding features in a school system under a National School Commission, the Sec­retary of which should be a member of the Cabinet, according to the speak­er: Also he would have teachers' sal­aries raised. (Teachers take notice— vote with Mr. Hindley.) The immigration problem he would take care of with a probation period of from five to ten years. At entrance to this country a declaration of pur­pose of entrance required and at the end of the period the candidate, to take- the- oath of-allegiance- or return to his native land. This would give him time to familiarize himself with the"'work education and government of this country. Mr. Hindley would bar the non-assimilative races. In conclusion he said, "America is the- hope, the leader of the world, the final testing place of the blood of the nations. America is destined to lead because of her melted nationalities." In his opinion the League of Nations can be brought about only through the spirit of brotherhood. AT FRIDAY ASSEMBLY The student body greatly enjoyed the characteristic program presented uy Miss Cole, of Seattle, at the Assem­bly, Friday August first. After slides of certain countries were shown, pieces characterizing those countries were played on the graphophone by Miss Cole. The en­tertainment was novel and different. Dr. Nash emphasized the necessity of doing our part toward keeping the Normal library property in good shape; that the student body should be relied upon to help Miss Wilson in her endeavor to keep books from be­ing mutilated- Mr. Parish led the students in a few popular songs. Because the program was so varied, the assembly proved interesting. Dr. Nash will leave tomorrow even­ing for a trip to Chicago and Washing­ton, D. C, returning by September first. Prof. Bever will have charge of the work during his absence. RAIN NO HINDRANCE TO Thursday evening a large crqSvd car­rying umbrellas gathered to spend the first evening of entertainment at the Chautauqua tent. The rain penetrated the tent and the people raised their The crowd buzzed to the tune of the storm outside, rain,; hail, thunder and lightning, and to the drip on the umbrellas and off on to some one else. In spite of this din, the McDonald- Eggleston team cheerfully began their program. t After their numbers had been en­joyed and enthusiastically applauded, they led a community sing which ev­eryone enjoyed—especially the child­ren, who clamored for more singing when asked if they could listen to the lecture on Russia. ' - Dr. Joseph Clare claimed the at­tention of the audience by telling them of the Russian people, government, and Russia's part in the world war. He termed his lecture the "Russian Riddle." To solve this riddle he spoke of treachery as the worst enemy of the human race. He made'it clear to the people how Russia has become the victim of treachery from every side. - The treachery from within is far greater than that from without; for instance, the betrayal of the Russian .armies to the Germans by their offi­cers; the betrayal of the. Russian people by the police. General disorder started in every city in Russia on account of shortage of food and the cruel treatment of the people by the officers and police. With these conditions existing at home and the evidence that the re­turned soldiers brought, the people all arose in arms as one man against common enemy: a government of treachery and officers who were traitors to the Russian people- As public speeches had never been heard in Russia, the common people were eager to listen to anyone and accept him as their leader. Thus the political parties sought followers, and the Russian government was con­trolled by no one in particular.- The bolshevists have the upper hand now. Dr. Clare analyzed the socialistic platftfrms to give a good understand­ing of the Russian situation. He paid a tribute to the sincerity of the bol­shevists, but exposed their principles as being contrary to all that civiliza­tion has held sacred. MUSICAL TESTS APPLIED Dr. Miller's students in "Education and the War" had an unusual treat Friday, when Mrs. Cole spoke to the class on Seashore's Measures for Mu­sical Talent. Opportunity was given for the practical application of the tests for pitch, intensity, time, con-osnants and memory. With a phono­graph which sounded fine variations in musical tones, the class recorded their ability to respond correctly. Most of the time was given to the first two tests—it being shown that the class succeeded, better in detecting pitch than intensity. Mrs.. Cole believes these tests can, with advantage, be applied to school children. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1919 August 7 - Page 2 ---------- 2 THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, THURSDAY, AUGUST 7, 1919 Sunday afternoon at the Chautauqua Miss Ida M. Tarbell spoke on the Peace Conference. The following is a review from her speech. There never before has been a gath­ering which meant so many things to so many people. None of us could go on with our occupation; none of us could know where we could turn for work until the peace conference had settled it. Everything hung on th decision of the peace conference. An­other demand from the start was the cry that came from all over the world to make peace. durable. Nowhere was the cry stronger than with the fighting men. "I remember sitting in a Paris garden when I became en­gaged in a conversation with a French­man. He had seen three winters in the trenches and had lost a leg in the conflict. In course of conversation he said, 'It's all right, but we want this to be the last one.' . Make peace by making it durable." There were 32 nations represented at the peace table. The study of faces here Was intensely interesting. The most distinguished and authorita­tive personality present was that of the President, to whom all others looked with a question of, What does the President say? Among the interesting faces were those of Clemenceau, a little man with a drooping mustache, slouched in his chair but a forceful personality rec­ognized by all, and Lloyd George with his twinkling eyes ready to grasp every situation. These two men we're .ever alert in spite of the monotony and dullness due mostly perhaps to the fact that each proposal offered had to be read in two languag.es, French and English. One of the most remarkable and sig­nificant things of the assembly was the representation of the color of cussion, France wanted dollar for dol- When the war debt came up for dis- The Kodak Store ENGBERG DRUG CO. Corner Elk and Holly Sts. ,j Pacific Steam j I Laundry J I Quality Work and Service { I 1728-1738 ELLIS STREET I faces which varied from all shades of brown and yellow to every shade of black; men from all over the earth coming together for the first time. This gathering was not without its amusing sidelights journalists who oc­cupied three boxes at one end of the hall, and artists from different coun­tries struggling to get historic por­traits of the peace conference. These two classes vied with each other in their efforts to obtain the most cov­eted places. It was recognized that each representative body must have hi Paris more experts who understood racial, industrial, geographical and so­cial problems. The American delega­tion alone consisted of five hundred experts and assistants. One of the first things necessary was an excellent program, a part of which was the presentation of the fourteen points by President Wilson, which was unanimously accepted by the 32 representatives, who hoped.to adjust conditions through the aplica-tion of the same. If you have the idea that the fourteen points are not complied with you must remember that we have been two thousand years in applying the golden rule and some people are in doubt about applying it yet. From the first day the peace confer­ence opened, wise and. unwise criti­cisms were given. The great cry was to make peace and make peace dur­able. The second question was that of a League of Nations and the forma­tion of a peace treaty. Here it be- -came necessary to study the events of the world for the last six months and to make readjustments which could not be done without resentment in some parts of the world. The applica Lion of the fourteen points was to be the back-bone of the new administra­tive body, and the second was the manner in which they were to per­form. So many difficult problems, the examination of documents, hear­ing of witnesses etc., made it neces­sary to divide the" assembly into com­mittees and retire to their libraries to make their individual research work and investigations, and not re­port until they had something to say. This method met with resentment on the part of the people, as it was in direct violation of the first clause of the fourteen points which provid­ed that all proceedings would be open to the public. The most helpful plan contributed to the league of nations was one which came from a representative of South Africa. The members of the peace confernce were not to have peace and quiet, for unplanned for things hap­pened in Paris. - There were repre­sentatives of smaller countries who came there to settle 'territorial dis­putes. In many cases it was over small pieces of land some of us had never heard of. They were even willing to go to war for it. Many groups of odd looking people arrived in Paris during these times. Think of the difference in the hopes of these 32 nations, think of their different needs and ideals. It was al­most impossible for them to get the idea of this great proposition. The misunderstanding with the French came out of our inability to put our­selves in France's place. You can not realize the difference between France and America. We do not have to ask for anything but durable peace. Compare France with Germany materially. The war cost France between 63 and 65 billions of dollars. It cost Germany about one half as much. There are no pictures of France by which one can realize what devastated France means. There are scores and scores of villages just piles of scrap. They have been cen­turies making France what it was. Germany's industrial situation has not been changed greatly, everything can easily be put in working order, lar. from Germany and where this was explained as impossible, France OUR THIRD S E M I - A N N U AL RUMMAGE WEEK will begin with a whirl Monday, 9:30 A. M. The greatest bargain feast of the season. All odds and ends (many ready to wear attractions) contributed by every department at ridiculously low prices. MONTAGUE McHUGH Incorporated — "Merchandise of Quality Only" —* claimed Germany was being favored. On the 19th of February the first draft of the League of Nations was pre­sented and accepted by the thirty two nations. It was then put out for the world to criticize. The point of view of labor was. very, interesting. A great many of the wars in the future will come from labor unrest. What the League of Na­tions must do is to establish a com­mission for the improvement of labor conditions. There will be no secret treaties between countries in the fu­ture; everything will be put on the peace table and published. Economic pressure will be used if necessary to prevent war. The stage which we are going through now is the same that we go through when we are just about to take a forward step. CHAUTAUQUA The big week is over. It was quite strenuous, we admit, but well worth a good soaking in the rain an Thurs­day, a jam in the crowd on Sunday, losing your hat on Tuesday, and losing all track of your lessons by Wednes­day. We might refer to last week as the big "double week." School at the Nor­mal in the day time and school at Chautauqua in the evening. The program was rich, but the crowd was just as amusing. Did you ever watch how unconsciously people show their real selves in a crowd? Go back a few days and listen to that man who sits on that seat behind you: (He is on the end of the seat and can't see very well.) "Say Mister, its against the city ordinances to let those people stand in the aisles!" The people in the aisles glare at him and one says, "Where on earth do you expect us to stand, then?" "Aw, go without your dinner and come early to sit and reserve your seat for two hours; we had to!" And the reserved seats, how tempt­ing they were! It took every late­comer at least ten minutes to be con­vinced by the usher that those chairs were not sitting there vacant for him, but for some other persons who paid jfor them. Some o'f the tardy ones showed peevishness and some even despera­tion. We are thinking. of one man who, after fifteen minutes of explana­tion about the aforesaid reserved seats, woke up to find that while he was-arguing with the usher all the-cfher seats had been filled. Vejry soon he was seen almost touching noses with the usher, his eyes glaring and hands trembling, saying, "Well, I've got to have a seat, I paid for one! Where is it?"

About fifty teachers forgot their school work for an evening and joined in a. good time. Endeavoring to irevive thejir neglected educations, they roasted and toasted every thing in sight, after de­vouring unsightly quantities of good eats with the zeal of several philoso­phers. What was their surprise some mo­ments later when five of their num­ber were nowhere to be found! Ter­rible noises were soon heard, and sev­eral likenesses of Satan became visible far upward in the center of the path. The "ki-yi's" increased as they ap­proached the waiting multitude. Such conduct on the part of. those to whom is given authority over younger child­ren! ! Probably it is hard to believe, but I beg to assure you that the dreams of those people that following morning were pleasant ones, regardless of the fact that the greater majority of them managed to get away with three or four cups of coffee. ORIGINAL TOAST The following poem was read at a toast at the Seattle Club picnic, Tues­day evening, July 29, at Whatcom Falls Park. It was given by Miss O'Brien. ALMA MATER 'Tis not for those most gorgeous sun­sets, As old Sol sinks behind the Olympics, When he sends out his shafts of light moulton To battle with forces of darkness; While the sky and the sea and the mountain Take on the deep crimson of slaughter. 'Tis not for the trail to the sun set Nor way to the valley called "Happy". 'Tis not for the trip to the summit, Nor the woods nor the waters of What­com, Nor the bay nor the islands that dot it, We'll remember thee best, Alma Mat­er! It is for thy fairy-land background, Of hillside all covered with forest, Whose tall tree tops pointing toward Heaven Are symbols of hope that thy children May help diffuse knowledge where needed. 'Tis the task of each son and each daughter, It is for the friends we have met here, Who have turned summer's work, into - pleasures, For thy paths to the broad fields of knowledge For those who have guided our foot­steps, For all thou hast given unto us, That we love thee the most, Alma Mater. +.—- I Eyestrain is a hand­icap which you need | not have.

Upon closer inspection we find over 22,000 volumes carefully filed; 150 periodicals giving the broad­est scope of present day reading are found in the magazine room; also over 2500 pamphlets are in reserve. All. this is of course open to all stu­dents and one should not miss the op­portunity of inspecting those sections not actually included in their assigned reading or particularly related to their profession. For instance, the library contains a complete collection of professional lit­erature, having representatives of poetry, drama, fiction, and essays of the foreign countries. Likewise in the English literature; the material dates back to the Anglo-Saxon period and is conveniently and profitably ar­ranged for the student. Judicious and careful discrimination has been used in choosing only the best from both foreign and English editions of liter­ature. In the art department, books that tell of the Mstpry of the various forms of art, are to be found; those that discuss the interpretation or meaning of art; and.again most help­ful collections of pictures are found there. Geography and travel are admirably covered with an unusual collection of material on the minor as well as the leading countries of the world. Of special interest is the fact that a collection of Northwest history is being made and several journals of the early, explorers in the original-are in possession. As to science, this department is very complete for a Normal library. In the reference room one finds all the standard encyclodedias, diction­aries, atlases and hand books. The mgazines are bound as soon as possible in order to preserve them. New books are coming in regularly, while a large shipment is expected this week. Most of the orders received lately are books for the department of education. Of national interest was the forty-first conference of the American Li­brary Association held in Asbury Park, N. J. June 23-28 where several thousand libraries were represented. A paper was published daily during the conference to entertain, interest and instruct librarians and help them to talk with one another profitably. One object of the conference was to promote or make books universally available to all people . Chalmers Hadley, librarian of the Denver Public * Library, was elected President of the American Library Association, succeeding William War­ner Bishop of the University of Mich­igan. PRUSSIAN REFORM The new Prussian socialist Kultur Minister has already introduqed sweeping .changes in the German school system. Among the 32 points of progress as published by the Lon­don Times, there is to be complete separation of religion and religious authorities from the schools, all class schools are to be. abolished and the "uniform" school maintained, co-edu­cation more generally introduced, and ganized discussions of social policy are to be encouraged instead of for­bidden; exams are to be reduced and teachers are to have representation in the government and in school admin­istration. —Educational Psychology.

THE WISH I wish I had a dream that would go out to service; All my dreams sit forever at ease in my heart. They speak without ceasing of you, But never a one stirs herself To make you a fire, my darling For all you are cold; To spread you a bed, my darling, For all you would sleep; To dip you a crust in a little sour wine, For all that you hang, my darling, On the cross of our darkened day. JEAN KENYON MACKENZIE Atlantic Monthly. NEARING THE END Our school term is nearly over and most of us will sever our happy rela­tions of the summer and depart each to do his part in the work of the com­ing year. We go out with something of the feeling of intellectual missionaries to distribute our ideas over the state. Great opportunities have been offered us and most of us have gained much that will enable us to raise the ideals of our own small •community. We are broader and have had the train­ing to make us better citizens and leaders in our respective places. We should feel well repaid for the time and money spent. Not only have we added to book knowledge but there has been a chance for pleasure and, recreation. Although at first thought i n» this may seem only.selfish pleasure, JUST SUPPOSE Suppose your father ran a grocery store. Maybe he doesn't but then let's .play he does. And then suppose you bought all your groceries from some place else. I know already you are thinking thez-e must be something either wrong with me or else I think there is some thing wrong with you. I do. In the first place, it's not your fa.ther but yourself that's in the store business and your store is named the "Student's Co-Op." You would be sur­prised at the number of things you carry in stock. Why don't you in­vestigate some time so you yill know what you have on hand. And then when you need something why not get it out of your own supply rather than at your competitor's store and pay 'retail prices for it? If you don't I think you are rather foolish. And suppose you worked in your father's store and were always com­plaining about the hard work and al­ways saw the bad things and told others about them instead of seeing the good and trying to correct the rest on the quiet. Would anyone ever want to work in your store with you? Most of you will be here next year. If you expect to have a good time you must boost for your school so there will be plenty of other students to work with you and incidentally help you to have a good time. Don't knock. It's bad business as well as being hard on other people's dispositions. Tell your friends about the good things and maybe they won't be so quick to see the bad. Boost! Boost! Boost! Write this word "boost" at the top of your note book and every time you see some one tell him about it. Yes, we heard speeches about the profiteers, and every one cheered when different speakers suggested driving them out of the country. Some one surely must have blushed. We mean the person who sold, for a whole dol­lar, about a square foot of seat he had been lucky enough to get. But there were fine, good things happening, too, only they were not so funny. Men came early to avoid the rush-, and after keeping their seats for an hour, gave them up to some poor, tired, old people at the last minute. It seemed that on some benches there was always room for one more. The people on these seats seemed to pos­sess the power of maxing themselves smaller as .their hearts grew bigger Many of us were sorry we could not draw. There was so much material for funny pictures. Well, let's get busy and make up our lessons and we may get time to take up cartoon- FLEETING TIME At twilight, when the birds are in the^r nest And men go from their daily work to rest, ¥/hen night winds o'er the hills and valleys sweep, And little stars from heaven upon us peep; Then .with. her glorious voice, the nightingale Begins and bids the passing day, farewell. Will it come back? No, it cannot re­turn, Another day, which, takes its place, will soon be born. Just like in Autumn—leaves fall from the trees, The leaves that once were kissed* by summers breeze. So fall the leaves from the tree called year, So come and go, we human beings here; Some blessed with happiness from morn' till eve', Seme though, must carry sorrow and grief But none can stay, both good and bad must go, Must, say, farewell, to all we love or no.

Baker. The class, consisting of about twenty-three members, will leave Friday morning at seven o'clock on the stage for Gla­cier. At Glacier, pack horses will be secured to carry up the heavy articles, such as "food" and "blankets." The students will be prepared for hiking, and have a light lunch in their pockets for noon. They expect to start climb­ing the mountain just as soon as pos­sible after arriving at Glacier. They will have the plant containers and presses for specimens and will collect them as they go along. At night-fall they will camp under the stars. They intend to be on a real glacier by Sat­urday. Dr. Herre suggests that ample bedding be taken along, as he has been there before and about three or four, a. m. the old glacier begins to breathe out a mighty cold breath. He is also going to take a good rope along so that if any one accidentally ex­plores the bottom of a crevasse, he can be pulled out.

He has amazed, abashed, ennobled, and humbled us in turn, and the more we saw of him, the more deeply did he fix himself in our hearts. He came to us like a revelation—a revelation of the coun­try. In him we saw not only its power and vigor, but often its doubted capacity to take training, to submit to control, to be at once free and obedi­ent. We bent, the knee before this splendid creature in whom we sud­denly sensed the dreamed-of Ameri­can manhood- And if he had power and control, they were unconscious expressions, all the frailties and humors of the natural human being. This dough­boy would go day in and day out into battle, reckless of danger, set only on finishing the job that had been given him to do, uncomplaining, cheerful, un­selfish— but give him leisure, regular meals, and his cigarettes, and • he would lie on his back and kick at everything human that touched him, from the high command down to the Frenchman whom he*was cheerfully offering his life to help. His grouch was a proof of his well being. "The boys are all right," an officer would say. "Hear them grumbling about their food." He had the heart of a child. He would take a city, and in ten minutes alter the infernal grapple was done, would be hunting for souvenirs. He would make a march of days; and an hour after, he was billeted, would be out searching a child for a companion. He fought his way through the Ar-gonne and wakened lip the morning after the Armistice to say to his buddy, "You can't guess what I dreamed about last night." And the answer came straight: "Huh! You dveamed about home. So did I." And from the day of the Armistice to this, tins powerful fighting lad has dreamed only of home. And yet he has "carried on." . Fetch­ing and carrying have fallen to his lot. waiting on men and beasts, guard­ing dull street corners, looking after lost baggage, running errands for a peace conference. He hated it—oh, how he hated it—but he knew it be­longed, and carried on. Again and again a passionate pity for him has seized us. He is strong and yet so childlike, so enduring and yet so suffering; and with this pity has gone a certain fear and wonder at something which seemed to be' higher than anything in ourselves—a look in his eyes- And we are not the only ones wfio have s^een it. A .great French surgeon, under whose hand scores of our boys have gone, a silent man as a rule, said once to an Anier-can nurse, "There's something in them I have never seen in man or woman before, something in their eyes. I don't know whether it's your Monroe Doctrine, or President Wilson or God Almighty; but they have some- .thing that other men have not." What the doctor saw was the soul of Amer­ica. —Red Cross Magazine. Students The Messenger belongs to you. You are its only stock holders. It is up to you to. make it a success. No one else cares.

"Why de other day I seen dat Rastus Johnson git on and ride as much as a dollah's worth an' git off at the very same place he got on at, an' I sez to him, 'Rastus,' I sez, 'yo"spent yo' money, but whar yo] been?' " Teacher—"Why do people say 'Dame Gossip?' " Bright Pupil—"Because they are too polite to leave off the "Did you ever dress a chicken?" "No, my girls are all boys. But I understand it costs a heap of money." First principal—"How many teachers work in your school?''. Second principal—"Oh, I should say roughly about a third of them." "What's daughter doing?" "Making shrimp salad." "I didn't know we had any shrimp in the house." "We haven't but there is going to be one call on her this evening." A little four-year-old girl was walking with her mother, when a caterpillar, the first she had ever seen, crawled in front of them. Muvver, muvver!" she cried excitedly. "Look! your muff's little girl is out taking a walk!" "This piece of lace on my dress is over fifty years old." "It's beautiful. Did you make it yourself?" "See how I can count, mama," said Kitty. "There's my right foot. That's one. There's my left foot. That's two. Two and one make three. Three feet make a yard and I want to go out and play in it." "I can't understand how you have the presumption to think I would permit my daughter to become your wife-" "It does seem rather surprising, I suppose; but cheer up. You're not half as badly upset as I was when she suggested it to me." Leisurely—"The hired man fell off the fence down in the meadow lot just now." "Had he hit the ground when you left?' Would He? Mr. Wood of N. J. lived at Wood Row, And he'd row o'er the lake to see Woodrow, But if Woodrow some day Were to ask Wood, now pray. Would Wocd row Woodrow o'er to Wood Row? War Alarm.—Little Tommy, at the movies, saw a tribe of Indians painting their faces, and asked his mother the significance of this. "Indians," his mother answered, "always paint their faces before going on the warpath—before scalping and tomahawking and mur­dering." The next .evening after dinner, as the mother entertained in the parlor her daughter's young man, Tommy rushed down stairs wide-- eyed with fright. "Come on, mother." he cred. "Let's get out of this quick! Sister's going on the warpath!" Cheaper.—"I thought your father wasn't going to send you back to college?" "That's so. Dad did kick on the expense but I threatened to stay at home and help run the business, and then he decided that a college course would be a lot cheaper." Modern Girl—"If you.really loved me all the time, why didn't you let me know?" Modern Youth—"I couldn't find a post-card with the right words on it." . "An abstract noun," remarked the teacher, "is the name of some­thing you can think of, but not touch. Now give me an example." "A.red-hot poker," remarked Freddy. Scribbler—"I've a poem here advocating peace. Editor—"I suppose that you honestly and sincerely desire peace?" Scribbler—"Yes, sir." Editor—"Then burn the poem." —Boston Transcript.

BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, JULY 31, 1919 No. 41 HOT. ELMER GAVE IE E -Supt. Cave, of Bellingham schools, told about educational work overseas, at assembly Friday. Mr. Cave was regional director of the area of Paris. .-Preceding his address the Marseil­laise was sung, and Mr. Cave remarked that he never shall forget the last time he heard that inspiring national song of France. It was on May 30, when the cemetery for American sol­diers at Sorbonne was dedicated. Many prominent diplomatic and army men were present, and President "Wil­son gave an address. "The services were very impressive," said Mr. Cave, "but the unforgettable scene was whfjn ail present, irrespective of nationality, as one body saluted while the Mar­seillaise was being played." When one large army arrived over­seas it was found that many of the soldiers had left school and college courses unfinished. Army officers and educational men saw the need of opportunity for these boys to continue their, studies, When they called for students so many responded that they we.re staggered by the numbers, and found that many had not been attend­ing school but wished to. The univer­sities of England and France had their own faculties and students! They could hot accommodate all of our boys. The French universities took in eight thousand and two thousand were ac­commodated in England's universi­ties. Judging by the evening dinner stories told by the men the experi­ence was worth while. One young officer, a former teacher, was called to a history chair of his own Normal, but feeling that he could not do'the position justice, after his battlefield experiences, he was about to refuse. He attended a university, brushed up in history and accepted the offer. That was a turning point in his life. In January, 1918, Anson Phelps Stokes of Yale undertook to survey the field in France. Something had to be done'quickly to care for the educa­tional work of our army. An educa­tional commission was decided upon. With Gen. Rees at the head, the com­mission- composed of Dr. John Erskine cf Columbia University, Dr. Frank Spaulding of Cleveland, Ohio, and Dr. Kenyon of Mass. Agricultural College, worked in conjunction with army of­ficers. . . France was divided into eight mili­tary areas, which were also used for the educational work and a director appointed for each area. There were post and divisional schools correspond­ing to our elementary and secondary schools. Tens of thousands of the boys enrolled iii these schools. In the S. O. S. .-area they .went to their studies after the-regular day's work. Their school houses were not always iij spirational. Bar-rooms, stables, bar­racks, churches,, home-cheer huts, or the out-doors' were pressed into ser­vice". -The great desire' for educatiop. wa,s. there, however and where" that obtains, beauty of surroundings;is sec­ondary.- .

All students of the Normal School are interested,—first because they are automatically holders of tickets; second because they have an unblivably good op­portunity to har some of the big people in American public .life. Added to the lectures by William Jennings Bryan, Ida M. Tarbell, the hero Private Peat, Dr. Joseph Clare, and others, is a diversified program of readings, music, story telling and dramatics which will interest every one. The entertainment will begin this evening with a program of music and humor by the McDonough-Eagleston Company, followed by Dr. Joseph Clare, "The Pastor of Petrograd," who brings us the vital­ly interesting message of the Russian situation in his address, "The Riddle of. the Russian Revolution." The succeeding day's programs will include morning, afternoon, and evening sessions as follows: THURSDAY Evening—Opening Exercises and announcements. Musical Fun Program McDonough-Eagleston Co.

The afternoon concerts will begin at 2:30 o'clock, but the lec­tures will not begin until 3:00—thereby enabling those who have no classes after three'o'clock to hear most of the lecturs. It is hoped that all Normal students will have done all possible outside work in advance so that they may be free to enjoy every evening's entertainmnt. EXPERT TELLS TO TEACH CHILDREN Wednesday at the assembly hour iMiss Creelman, organizer of the kin-jdergarten movement in Seattle, ad-idressed the students. Last year there were 22 kindergartens in Seattle. In jorder to understand the significance !of any period in the life of a child, we must understand its relationships. The past great conflict has given •impulse to education. Freedom is an achievement. We must strive for right and baflish wrong. We have jseen the necessity of preparedness in ia nation, and must see that prepared­ness is necessary in the individual. ;This must be realized from the begin­ning. The home must be strengthened and made to realize the need of pre­paredness there. Home is the foun­dation. The first five years in the nursery the child is not conscious except that he does things because of the law that governs its processes. The infant mind is more or less plastic and must be guided. In order to understand how to guide it we must study it. The in­fant learns in three ways, to know lt; to feel and to act. Long before he learns words he reads expressions. One strong factor is his imagination, through which things seem real to him. At this stage the child should spend a great deal of his time with nature. Now we must take the child into the kindergarten, which is now 79 years old. Some educators believe in free play here. The child comes at 9 o'clock, plays at anything for an' hour and a half. Then comes the: period of one half hour story to which the child may listen if he wishes. Then he is dismissed. In the other kind of kindergarten the child's mind is guided and he must do cer­tain things at certain times. He is shown the relation between his home life and others. The child is taught appreciation, value of plants and ani­mals and other things. The second period in the kindergarr ten the child is taught three kinds of games. Games to develop muscles, games of imagination, and games of home. Here he learns by means of handiwork. Kindergarten workers should under­stand all periods of education. Miss Creelman gave as an illustration of this a game of golf. The player must understand every point. The same ap­plies to education. Teachers should be living examples to pupils. Miss Creelman in closing left the suggest tion that, we make teaching a real profession instead of an occupation. SPANISH PLAYS WERE We enjoyed a treat at Monday's assembly, which was given by the Foreign Language -Department, under the direction of Miss Anna E. Bag-stad. • ' ''•.'•'"'':. (Continue'd on page".'two')"' '•'';'"''"' ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1919 July 31 - Page 2 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, THURSDAY, JULY 31, 1919 SUPT. ELMER L. CAVE HOME FROM FRANCE (Continued from page 1) could neither read nor write, and these were not all negroes as some would believe. General Orders 9 and 80, of the army were the compulsory school law for these men. The fact that there are five million illiterates in this country and the reasons given by some of the young men for not having learned to read and wrjite, should convince us that for democ­racy's sake, these conditions must be changed. It is up to us teachers, Mr. Cave thinks, to become missionaries a,nd help remove conditions that cause illiteracy. The boys who began their educa­tion in t h e army have caught the in­spiration. They will not be content to go back to the old order of things. Even in the area of Paris, the attrac­tions of the city did not lure many soldier-students from school. At Beaune University, Mr. Cave met Paul Thompson and Orville Adams, well known young men of Bellingham. ' The Ateliers made up anothr branch of the' educational work. Hundreds of American art students attended these art institutes. At Bellevieu (in Mr. Cave's area) were three hundred fifty men and officers. Sculpturing, paint­ing, architecture, and landscaping were studied under able masters and instructors. Among these were Lorado Taft, a brother of Gustave Borgland and Prof. De Lamare of Minneapolis. Instructors took their students on trips to art centers: Versailles, the Louvre at Paris and others. Mr. Cave paid tribute to the teach­ers and schools of America for their unselfish faithfulness during the war, and recalled having found in a pair of new socks, while over there, a paper bearing the -name of-a popular young lady, an instructor in this ' school. In closing, Mr. Cave said, "I ap­preciate more than I can tell you, the opportunity to have played even a small part in the educational work over there. Our eyes have been opened and shall remain open. I appreciate having had the opportunity of meeting many of our soldiers, of learning more of the history and the beauty of Prance, of forming friendships and seeing the battlefields. It was worth while to leave my work here and go over. I have returned to America with the .feeling that a life of service is the life that really counts, and propose to dedicate myself more un­selfishly to a life of service." SPANISH PLAYS WERE NOVELTY ON MONDAY (Continued from page one) "Uno de Ellos debe Cararse," a comedy in two acts was very cleverly played by Lyla Robin, Marguerite Brotnov, Ada Winslow, and Louisa Collins. "La Lavandera de Napoleon" a com­edy in one act, was also well given and equally well received by the stu­dents. Lyla Robin played the role of No-poleon Bonaparte, and Eula Brown the laundress. While we enjoyed the comedies, the group of Spanish songs was highly appreciated. TENNIS TOURNAMENT DRAWS LARGE CROWDS The Kodak Store ENGBERG DRUG CO. Corner Elk and Holly Sts. j Pacific Steam j J Laundry j I Quality Work and Service I 1 1728-1738 ELLIS STREET ! * - The tennis tournament has been drawing large crowds this last: week.

This tradition was begun in 1912. Each year the senior class buries the Klipsun under a plate mark­ing the year. This is usually done in May, along with other Senior acti­vities, but owing to delay in the printing of the annual this year, the Klipsun was not placed in its final resting place until last Saturday. How­ever, the appropriate ceremonies were held last spring at the usual time. Patronize your advertisers. CAMP LEWIS 1918-1919 Last week Mr. Jessie Neiswander and Kenneth Selby returned from a two weeks camp at American Lake. From all reports they seemed to have had a very good time. While they were at camp they made several trips over to Camp Lewis and were much surprised at conditions there. A great many of us remember Camp Lewis as a huge city of barracks with a river of khaki clad men twist­ing and crowding between them. There was everything that the city affords; theaters, restaurants, hotels, Y. M. C. A.'s. Then, it took all one's ability to crowd his way through the throng and get anywhere. No one thought of manners. It was war, and Sherman was right about it. If you wished to buy anything you had to spend the en­tire 'evening and then some times those ahead of you were too slow and you went back empty handed. Then, there were forty thousand men in and about the place. But times have changed. The war is over and with it has gone the noise and glamour of Camp Lewis. True, there are a few thousand men left, but it is hard to find them in the city built for ten times their number. It is hard to imagine that these streets with a few quiet men strolling about were once the scene of such bustle and confusion. The stores are closed, the theaters boarded up, here and there you find a Y. M. C. A. man vain­ly looking for something to do. Green Park, the "Great White Way" of Camp Lewis, is deserted save for a few children playing in the streets. A year ago an officer would have broken his arm saluting all the men he met on these streets. At present, my sym­pathies would be mostly with the;pri-r vates for there seems to be a bigger supply of officers than of them. But for all Camp Lewis appears like a deserted village, hope is expressed on every hand that" once more the place will flourish. There is a rumor abroad that Camp Lewis will be main­tained as a permanent camp for a new ninety first division that is being formed. However it is doubtful if ever again it will boom as it has in the past. —K. B..S. Y. W. C. A. NOTES Mrs. Douglas, a student at the Nor­mal, spoke to the Y. W. C. A. girls. The talk was inspiring and beneficial to all those present. Mrs. Miller conducts a Bible class on the knoll every Tuesday noon at 12:30. All the girls interested are urged to attend. In case the weather is bad, the class will be held in the Y. W. C. A. rooms. A TOILET I TREAT The carefully groomed woman appreciates anything that will give a touch of i n ­dividual distinctiveness.

VOCATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOLS If the state should decide to build a trade school, should it be built in an isolated position, or should a dif­ferent course be added to the courses of the universities and colleges and normals? If this vocational school should be built as an institution separate from all others the students would be all of one class. This would in time make distinct differences between the indus­trial and educational classes of people. By adding a trades department to our institutions and encouraging the students to unite in the social and athletic phases of school life we would not draw that class distinction. Many people ask the question: Do people who expect to go into factories as employes need a complete grommar school, or high school education? Why should physical labor need mental training? Do these people ever use CATALOGUE NEEDED What would you think if you were given a well equipped library for your education and enjoyment only to find none of the books had the titles or authors given. You might be able to acquire something, of course, from the subject matter of the book, but isn't half of your enjoyment and most of your education gained from know­ing about the author and connecting certain works with certain authors? But you will say a library, like that would, be a failure both from the point of view of your enjoyment and of your aducation. This isn't about our library, which is a model of its kind, but rather about the beautiful pictures we have in our normal. Plenty of material has' been giv.en us for a liberal education in art and a training in appreciation. And here we are with pictures pleas­ing us, of course; but after passing by them in the halls several times every day, for a year or two, most of us will leave school knowing nothing about them. . "Who was the man who painted that "Jeanne d'Arc" up near the audi­torium? His name has a Baptiste in it, somewhere, hasn't it? And that picture—'"Dance, of the Nymphs" isn't it? The one near it must be by the same artist, but I am not familiar with it. I wonder what the name of it is?" Why can't we have our pictures catalogued so that we can make some sort of intelligent use of them as we do of our other equipment. Just for example, in' Lewis and Clarke High School, Spokane, every piece of statu­ary and every picture is catalogued. Each one is tagged with a number, and a little pamphlet made of the num­bers. Under each number is found the name of the picture, perhaps where the original is kept, the name of the artist and any thing of especial interest about the picture or the artist. And think what fun it would be to casually mention that—'"I am very fond of that "Jeanne d'Arc" by Bastien- Lepage, aren't you?" Especially when you really are. —H. S. L. •*^fe£.

That's the thing that will count. It will insure co-operation be­cause it is to their advantage to have it carried out successfully. This marks one of the greatest changes along educationial lines recently. BOOST FOR NORMAL SCHOOL! Only three more weeks and the summer session will come to a close. What kind of a school will Normal be', when our summer school graduates have left? Will there be plenty of new material for next year's work? We can all help in solving this question. When a friend inquires about the school, give Normal its rightful praise. Let him know we're a good bunch and that he's sure to like us. Boost for your school! —F. B. GENERAL SCHOOL NEWS Smith Carleton, a former student and recently with the A. E. F., visited the school Monday. It will be of interest to those know­ing Mrs. Katherine Nolte, who has been teaching in the Fox Government school in Alaska that she has been elected to a position in the schools at Fairbanks, Alaska. ; VOCATIONAL EDUCATION For some time in the past a few of the educators of the world have been working on the plan of vocational edu­cation. This plan has developed into the passing of the "Smith Hughes Bill." There are many benefits to be derived from this and undoubtedly it. will prove a great success. First because it takes care of each class of individ­uals; those who must earn something to keep themselves in school; those who would attend anyway, and lastly those pupils who have finished their course but wish to learn something more of a trade by attending a night school. These three classes are great­ly benefited but the first probably re­ceives the most advantage because it is that type of individuals who would go out into the world unskilled. Under this plan it will be much easier to DID YOU KNOW T h a t the MESSENGER is t h e B e l l i n g h am Normal? r u n by the Students of T h a t only a small per cent of the expense is met by t h e S t u d e n t s?

The threatening clouds soon, disappeared from the sky, and a more perfect day could not be wished for. The trip took over two hours. Mr. Coughlin and Mr. Harlow cheerfully told certain -ignorant in­quisitive people the names of the various islands which we passed, and traced our journey on a map which our sponsor had brought in case we wanted practical instruction. Just as : we came in sight of East Sound, our seaworthy little launch, "City of Ana-cortes," decided she had gone far , enough. While we were discussing •; whether we should have some of the •. boys get out and push, or all of us walk the rest of the way, she changed her mind and soon brought us safely into port. We were glad to see Mrs. ; Thatcher standing on the dock to welcome us in. We found a suitable camping place at Crescent Beach. Manv of us en­joyed walking on the beach at low tide, while lunch was being prepared. After lunch the crowd divided into various groups. There were hikes to '» Mount Constitution, Goat Mountain, : and other interesting places on the island, while some of the crowd pre­ferred swimming. The group that climbed Goat Mountain first bombard­ed the Hoppe cottage where we re­ceived a hearty welcome. Mr. Hopp'e acted as guide on the Goat Mountain climb. The view from the top of this ; mountain is superb. All the hikers came back to Crescent Beach declar­ing that the trip they took had been the very best, so we feel sure that everyone is satisfied. After our hikes, we enjoyed swim­ming and basball until time for sup­per. The Hoppe family were our guests of honor. Little Joan Hoppe, and little Catharine Caughlin wejre among the main attractions of the afternoon. As another feature of •• the day we might mention our ever helpful sponsor who attempted to carry a huge bundle of "wieniers" to a place of safety. For further particulars consult someone who had Gage-; Dodson Co. Home of the Hart Schaf f ner Marx MEN'S CLOTHING a kodak handy at the right moment. As the "City of Anacortes" -pulled into the home dock, and we parted for our homes, each one felt that he had spent one of the happiest days of his life. Rah! Rah! Rah! Hoppe! Rah! Rah! Rah! Coughlin! Rah! Rah! Rah! Sagebrush Club! • THAT BOTANY TRIP It was with great rejoicings that the botany class received Dr. Herre's announcement that they were sched­uled to spent all day Tuesday up at the head of Lake Whatcom gathering specimens. A meeting of the class was called and presided over by Mr. Nobles and arrangements were made for a sumptuous picnic lunch. Tuesday morning dawned bright and smoky. The gay bunch of botanists boarded the 9:30 Lake Whatcom car —all except ye humble scribe who because he crowded time in the fif­teen cent store found himself left very much behind. Realizing that he had been delegated to report the day's events he began to chase after the fastly rceeding Lake car in his efforts not to miss anything. He continued his steaming exertions until he reached Whatcom Falls station four miles out, at which place the next car caught up with him. Arriving at the steamer landing he was very much peeved to learn that the boat had pulled out fifteen minutes before. Continuing on to the end of the line he chartered a canoe and shoved off for the long ten-mile pull for South Bay, the des­tination of the specimen hunters. To make a long, drawn-out story short, the tardy member hove to at Wildwood Park at exactly 1:30, and at 1:35 he had eaten a hasty meal of what he could find, and was off in quest of specimens, both floral and biped. Rummaging around in swamp and underbrush, he managed to .fill bis specimen case without any help, from anybody. While wading around on the shore of a-small-lake he-picked up a skull of a cow to be presented later to Dr. Herre as a peace offering. The boat trip back was the cause of great annoyance to the captain. —ELWYN BUGGE. OREGON CLUB Web-footers Attention! Listen!— You will want to come next time. The Oregonians left for Whatcom Falls Saturday evening at 6:30. Upon arriv­ing there "Mr. Thompson produced a bat and ball, whereupon two teams were chosen, Mr. Thompson being cap­tain of one and Mr. Johnston captain of the other. The ball made up its mind it was tired and after several unsuccessful attempts, it finally landed ui an unaccessible part of the falls. The score then stood 17 to 21 in fa­vor of Mr. Johnston's team. They cooled off a while and then played two deep until the taffy was ready. Yes, real Taffy. Sarah Nealeigh had been busy all this time making it. They say she is a fine cook, for you never saw such fine taffy. Many blistered fingers testify to the fact that it pulled fine. As it was then dark, they started home so full of pep t h a t they nearly "raised the roof" off the trolley. Ask the conductor if the taffy wasn't good.

Hiker's Club News By a vote of eight to nothing the name of Hiker's Club has been changed to Piker's. Here are the eight rea­sons: Merle Annis, Elsa Kilian, Beryl Gordon, Adelaide Peterson, Sarina Blum, Ruth Ferguson, Sadie Henbree and last but perhaps not least, myself, these being all who turned out for the stroll to Chucknaut Saturday. The summit was reached in fine style just at high noon—meaning noon high in the air. Here a lunch was served, individual style. Casual­ties one pie sixteen crackers, a fish, two bananas, and one perfectly good jackknife. The poor dog suffered most, as the fair ones were too nearly famished to share with him. Peterson and Gordon took it upon themselves to make a world's record for the descent, and so far as any one knows, succeeded—with the aid of one of those Insects of the Highways. Elsa Kilian who has scaled the mighty heights of Rainier, declared it was quite a little hill after all and showed her spunk by threatening to climb Sehome before dinner.

Awakened from deep peaceful slumber about 5:30 a. m. by repeated calls of "Help! Fire!" they arose with one accord to learn the worst—they must move out and move rapidly. A moment later Mar­garet Reynolds, gowned in pink, slip­pers of the same shade and hat of black, carrying a blanket and her knit­ting, appeared in the hall; her calm and serene demeanor told all she was prepared for what fate might offer, in spite of the fact that she looked for all the world as though she were start­ing out to attend a picnic instead of a fire. Viretta Calhoun, not yet fully awake, and thinking it was time to kindle.a fire in her stove, dashed with manly strides up and down the corri­dor carrying the necessary kindling wood, which she finally laid carefully on one of the beds. Margaret Walker rushed to save her best gray walking shoes. Janet Dew-hurst thinking of further hiking par­ties, lost no time in rescuing her dainty hiking pumps (size 12.) Bessie Dick and Martha Patten, thinking of the sleep they had lost, tried to dissect the bed in order to get it out safely. Marie Turner, not satisfied with lit­tle things, insisted on carrying to the front sidewalk all her precious belong­ings, even to her gay little Dippy Duck, who viewed the mad scene from the top of her traveling bag. The party waited patiently until the Bellingham Fire heroes and the brave (?) Normal boys, who had come early to avoid the rush, quenched the angry flames and gave the signal to move back in. Within half an hour peace and tranquility reigned once more and a passerby could never guess all that had happened.

The Dolly Varden trout are the most migratory, and he has caught them right under glaciers by letting his line drift along under the edge of the ice. They vary in size from small fries to fries weighing about eight or nine pounds. The largest trout caught by Mr. Bond was a nine pound Dolly Varden that was pulled out of Canyon Creek. Canyon Creek always has the largest trout, and the bait used is salmon eggs. Last Saturday Mr. Bond and Mr. Lowman, principal of Central school in Seattle, were fishing in Canyon Creek. They caught five trout that totaled twenty-two pounds. The trout are hard to land, as the current is very swift and it takes plenty of time and patience. He says that fishing for the Steel Head Salmon is good sport at the mouth of the Nooksack about Christmas time. These salmon are caught lower down in the streams and it seems that the -weather doesn't make any difference to their biting. He has just as good luck when the North wind is blowing and it's icy as when the weather is warmer. The important point is that the water should be clear in order to get a good bite. He suggests to the students that one of the nicest ways to spend a vacation is to follow up a stream and fish.^ The Skagit River and its tributaries abound in Rainbow trout and b*e has caught them there ranging from six to seven pounds each. Mr. Bond knows from experience all about the streams of this country and can give one interested in fishing some good points. —L. J. Seattle. We have not witnessed their return, so can not announce the "ef­fect" of the trip upon them. We un­derstand . that there might be an "effect."

Margaret Hubburd and Beatrice Lemley "had the best time" at Squal-icum Sunday—the best lunch 'n every­thing. Fern Johnson went to Seattle last Friday. We all wonder but we're too polite to ask. Of course she came back. Regina McCabe did on Sunday what she has done for the last eighteen weeks—ever since the baseball season opened and Ferndale's team was or-ganizd. Rizwan Flora Elder, who attended the first six week term, left on Friday after­noon' for her home in Skykomish. Mrs. Hill and son Robert, of Eph-rata, have moved in for the remainder of the summer. Grace Ryckman and Isabel Ross Dormitory on Friday, with Emma Lar­son and Irene Brooks. Isabel Ross spent her week end moving her possessions across the hall into Grace Devereaux's rooms. Glada Nutter spent the week end with her sister at Edison. Grace Ryckman and Isab;el Ross have discovered that they don't have to leave the Rizwan in order to get chicken dinners. Irene Brooks' fath­er sent her a chicken and other eat­ables from Dungeness. By adding other things to it, including a big watermelon, we had a feast that was entirely satisfying. Grace Devereaux spent the week end with her brother at Alger. Fraser House Last Wednesday morning the girls at the Fraser House enjoyed a short but. delightful visit from their former teacher, Miss Elden Creelman and her friend, Mrs. Robert Taylor, both of Seattle. The girls were sorry that the visit could not have been longer, but the guests left for Seattle shortly after noon. Last week the seven girls of the House took the trip around Lake Whatcom. The beautiful scenery and sunset on the Lake were fully appreci­ated. : Miss Helen Tompkins was a guest of the girls, Tuesday evening. She was well entertained early Wednes­day morning by an exciting fire which seemed to disturb the whole neighbor­hood. Clark House Notes Ruth Kay, a former student of Bell-ingham Normal, was a guest at Clark Hall, Saturday and Sunday. A number of the girls enjoyed a "splash" party at Squalicum last Wednesday evening. Those present were, Bessie Brown, Bertha Barg-quist% Ruth Carlyle, Mamie Mann, Clara* Lucas, Dorothy Quinn, Mrs. Lar-sen, Grace Larsen, and Miss Clark. Lillian and Eunice Washburn visited in Bow over the week-end. Ruth Carlyle spent Saturday at her home in Anacortes. Parker House Hazel Beach spent the week end with her parents in Seattle. Miss Fries accompanied friends at a camp fire supper on Flat Rock Sunday evening. Bessie Van Eaton,' Clara Willard, Miss Stryker, and Juanita Bunch spent Sunday afternoon and evening rowing on Lake Whatcom. Johnnie, Johnnyette and Fa enjoyed a salty dip at Squalicum beach Sun­day afternoon. Johnnie and Little (?) Hazel had a delightful trip to Lake.Whatcom last Tuesday with Dr. Herre's Biology II class. Tired feet, sunburned necks and arms and plenty of specimens ca,me home with them. The Sagebrushers from Parker House, Grace Cunningham, Juanita Bunch, Georgia Johnson and Luverna Johnston returned from East Sound Saturday night almost unrecognizable. Enger Hall Ethel French, Marie Verrel and Mildred Rhoades joined the Sage­brushers on their picnic to East Sound Saturday. Ruth Maryott attended the Sunday School picnic at Dr. Miller's home, Friday evening. Bessie Johnson spent the week end with relatives at Birch Bay. A very merry surprise party was sprung on Anna Kjesbu Friday even­ing. After refreshments were served the guests had a Dutch theatre party. The guests included, Laura Krause, Genevieve Evans, Tyrinna King, An­na Kjesbu, Marie Verrel, May Phin-ney, Grace Droz, Mildred Dawkins, Ethel French, Margaret Harkins and Mildred Rhoades. Genevieve Evon and Mildred Rhoades attended the Oregonian taffy pull at Whatcom Falls Saturday even­ing. The girls of the hall can testify as to the quantity and quality of the taffy. Jameson Hall Agnes Kirkman spent the week end with her sister who lives on a farm near Matsqui, B. C. Mrs. Douglass and Namanee Sher­wood made another pilgrimage to Ferndale this week. Namanee went with Miss Mabel Reenes on Friday evening. Mrs. Douglass went Sun-da ymorning. Hazel and Gladys West went on the Sagebrush picnic to the San Juan Islands Saturday. News is scarce this week. We have decided to do something exciting in the near future so that we can have it put in the Messenger. Mrs. Douglass says she has spent all of her time this summer writing penmanship drills, but now she has finished and has taken up the pastime of crocheting.

Many normal students have attained renown as artists of the racquet in the city tournament just completed and in pre­vious tournaments, and they are one and all enthusiastic over the prospect of tournament honors. It is assumed that Broadbent who carried off the honors last spring, will have an interesting time ahead of him in order to retain his laurels. Paul . Thompson, just returned from over­seas, has earned an enviable reputa­tion as a tennis player. All those de­sirous of entering the tournament are urged to sign up on the poster out at the tennis courts before next Mon­day, Aug. 4. The men's singles, men's doubles, ladies' singles, ladies' doubles, and mixed doubles are open to all who care to enter. giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!ic3iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!iimiii:iiiiiiii«iii:ii|i !

BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1919 No. 40 EAT At Wednesday's assembly Clark Savidge, commissioner of public lands of the State of "Washington, talked to the school on the income from the school land. He says Wash­ington is one of the richest states in the Union in school endowments. Only Minnesota has a higher record, and judging from the vast undevel­oped, resources of Washington, the prospects are that our state will soon lead. He gave a, brief history of the set­ting aside of public lands for an edu­cational fund. In 1853 the Federal Government set aside sections six­teen and thirty-two in every township, as school land. In addition to this there have been 100,000 acres set aside for our Normal School, 89,000 acres for agricultural school; 100,000 acres for scientific schools; and 200,- 004 acres for charity and penal insti­tutions, making nearly one half mil­lion acres. In 1853 Congress granted 45,000 acres for the State University. In 1903 the grant for the charitable institutions was divided, giving half to the University. Mr. Savidge has charge of two times as much land as the governor of Delaware has. In selling state lands, public auc­tion is necessary, and 160 acres is the largest amount that can be sold at a time, thus giving a chance to the man who can buy only a small amount of land. The money received cannot be spent but must be put out at interest which is spent on educational insti­tutions. When timber is sold from state lands it must be removed with­in five years. This prevents specula­tion on the part of lumber dealers. Leasing, as well ,as selling, must be done at public auction. There are three kinds of leases: Agricultural, grazing, and oil leases. He also ex­plained the tide and shore lands, har­bor areas, and how the state got its school lands .which were situated within the United States Forest Re­serves. He gave some very interest­ing descriptions of his trips through the Olympic Mountain region, and spoke of the untouched wealth of the timber. The Secretary of the Interior has complimented Washington on its care of public lands. Mr. Savidge, in clos­ing, made an appeal for us to help in the care of public lands, and since nearly forty per cent of money raised ;by taxation goes to education, we should strive to make our education broader and more practical, and above all, to be truly patriotic. CAREFUL PLANS MADE FOR CAMPUS PROJECTS The trustees of the Normal school are about to launch an ex­tensive program of campus development. Mr. Juenemann, landscape artist, has been engaged to make plans which will provide for the expansion of the Normal school campus in years to come. This will necessitate clearing of land and removing of houses which are stand­ing on territory owned by the school. The plans will provide for the artistic placing of new buildings in years to come as well as the new buildings which will be built within the next year or two. Mr. Doane, the local architect, is working upon plans for the new women's dormitory which will be on the Pine and High street corner of the campus. The building will house one hundred and twenty five girls. It will be a broad three story structure with colonial portico in front. The central room will be one hundred fifty feet long. It is planned to be used as a dining hall or for other social purposes. At either end of the room are artistically placed balconies, from which one may survey the crowds which will assemble here. At either end of this room are broad staircases which separate the main hall from small parlors. The individual r.ooms for the girls will be built for the accommo­dation of two persons. They are planned according to the most ap­proved ideas for housing. Bach room will have two windows, individual built-in dressers, disappearng beds, and lavatory. The building will be artistically finished and scientifically heated and lighted. It will undoubtedly doubly intensify the pleasures of life on the campus in the years to come. Mr. F. Stanley Piper is preparing plans for the new library build­ing, of which more will be said in a later issue. TWO SPANISH PLAYS L Y Those of you who chance to pass the auditorium during the 10:00 o'clock period no doubt have wondered at the queer things going on inside. If you have listened you have per­haps heard strange speeches in a soft, flowing, foreign language. Some of the words sound familiar to you and you would like to stay, but feeling that you are somewhat of an intruder, you hurry on. However, if your curi­osity has really been aroused, you scan this copy of your paper and here is the solution of the mystery. The advanced Spanish class has been working on two plays that are to be given Monday morning in as­sembly. "La Lavendera de Napoleon," a brisk little comedy in one act, takes an incident from the life of Napoleon. The general is played with spirit "by Lyla Robin, and Eula Brown makes a very Frenchy little laundress. The other, a two-act ply, "Uno de Ellos Debe Csarse." which translat­ed means, "One of them ought to marry," is adapted from the German "Einer Muss Heiraten," no doubt fa­miliar to many. The scene is laid in a Spanish home of today. Aunt Mary is keeping house for her two pro­fessor nephews-^-seedy old students who think of nothing but their books. One morning, unbearably exasperated, she reminds them that their father's dying- wish was that one of his sons should marry. They decide by lottery who the unfortunate man is to be. How it comes out—and the ending is unexpected—I leave for you to find out for yourself next Monday morning. Programs with the stories in full will (Continued-on page two) ILLUSTRATIVE TALK BY TEACHER OF THE BLIND At the Monday assembly Miss Selma Nixon of the State School for the Blind gave a very interesting talk on the methods used in teaching the blind children. They learn to read by the sense of touch, using the raised print system. Most of them are able to read with two, fingers on each hand. Besides, being taught to read and write, the children are taught industrial arts, such as: Wood work, broom making, knot tying, and basketry, and also the domestic arts, which include knitting, sewing, crocheting, ironing and cook­ing. Mss Nixon urges us to report all cases of either totally or partially blind children of school age. We also had with us Mr. Wright of the State College at Pullman, who spoke upon the advantages of club v/ork. After the speaking Mr. Parish led us in singing "Smilejs," "Keep the Home Fires Burning," "Till We Meet Again," "Indiana," and "There's a Long, Long Trail." GENERAL SCHOOL NEWS Cora Joe Philips has so far re­covered from her recent accident that, she is now attending her classes. The Normal students were again given a treat when the Knutzen band held a concert on the Normal cam­pus Sunday. * Dr. Nash in assembly Friday asked us not to complain when we saw the ivy covering the buildings being pruned. It surely changes the appear­ance of our Normal but we are as­sured that it is for the good of the building and that the greenness of the ivy will soon come back. AT Friday's assembly consisted of music and interesting speeches. Paul Thompson, who has recently returned from France, told of his ex­periences in the vocational school at Bologne. He says, although he enjoyed his experience in France, he had enough of it and is glad to be home again. Since he has gone to Normal from the time he first entered the training school, he feels very much at liome here. After the armistice was signed,, much of the work in the army stopped. This gave an opportunity for educa­tion of the men in service. A three months course was given, offering in­tensive study along various indus­trial lines. The training was given n rough buildings which had been used as a base hospital. The school was run: ning within a month from the time the idea was conceived. The French peo­ple were startled at the speed with which Americans could start a Uni­versity. Paul Thompson, in order to finish his course, stayed with the school a week after the others of his company had started home. The school had commencement exercises at the end of the course and it took only a few days to pack and ship the school equipment. On the w y home;; t he ship passed Gibralter. The boys were enthusiasl tically welcomed in New York. Al­though the trip across the water had been slow, a record trip was made across the continent. Following Mr. Thompson's talk, Mr. Van Pelt sang and led the school in a number of war songs. The first num­ber, a solo, "Time Enough,", was en­joyed by all. Then he. led the school in some familiar war songs. The most enjoyable feature of this part of the program was "Katy," sung by the fac­ulty. Mr. Van Pelt encored with "What We Have to Eat," and a humorous reading, "My Family." Prof. Jennings, of Anacortes, wiho is to be here the remainder of the sum­mer term, explained the nature and purpose of thee ducational survey. This movement is comparatively new. Its purpose is to make industrial train­ing far reaching and practical. Mrs. Mabelle Burns spent the week end in Vancouver, B. C.

The purpose is to bring the schools in a closer relationship with the business world as well as to train workers to supply the needs of busi­ness firms. These workers, after being trained in the art of industrial leadership, will instruct the employees. Classes are also proposed where house­wives can come for a certain number of hours a day, or evening, where they can be instructed in cooking and household management. In order to carry this plan forward efficiently, the different city schools have sent out a number of field work­ers to investigate the conditions and . wishes of the managers of factories and of homes. Two divisions of the Normal have workers in the field: The Domestic . Arts department and the Industrial Arts department. Miss Clark of Domestic Arts, has sent girls to investigate and find out the attitude of the housewives in re­gard to the organization of classes to help them. Mr. Heckman, of the industrial arts department, with the help of his stu­dents, has been interviewing the em­ployers and firms of the city as to their position and willingness to co­operate in the Industrial Educational movement. If this movement is successful it will enable the schools to help the business world more directly and ef­fectively than ever before. It will give the business men a keener inter­est in the schools, and th laboratories will not want for materials and ap­paratus with which to train students for the practical business world. These two institutions working to­gether will make a more efficient busi­ness and school life by the training of citizens for activity. STUDENTS TO TEACH Several Normal graduates will teach in Alaska during the next year. They are Mr. and Mrs. Beryl Merritt, Miss Benice Hamilton and Mrs. Rose Davis. They with three others will be at the same school at Metakatla, just across the bay from Ketchikan. The school is under the direction of the government and through its fforts the teachers are fuirnish,ed; with a steam heated and electric lighted house, an American cook and free transportation to Alaska. School will open on September the fifteenth. Metakatla is a native settlement. The entire enrollment in the school is native children. Under this condi­tion a good share of their time will be spent in community work. Miss Hamilton is to direct social affairs and entertainments within the school, and Mrs. Davis will direct social work among the parents. After listening to the descriptions of the work and the unusual salary by "old-timers," we cannot help but say with them "Let's all go to Alaska." ,|,_„ ,„ „ ,„ „ M „ „ M n_ „_i_i, „__„__,„ ,„ „ „ „ ]„ „,». ^ANNOUNCEMENT NEW MILLINERY DEPARTMENT Newly Organized, New Stock and New Personnel Miss Elizabeth Stephen now in charge of the second floor millinery will rep­resent all the new Eastern Model Hats.

Pacific Steam Laundry Quality Work and Service 1728-1738 ELLIS STREET One of the many interesting classes which is being offered to students this summer is the class in Marching Tac­tics, which Miss Long of Everett is giving. Primarily the work is planned for use in the school room, but is equally adapted for playground. In reality they are modified military drills adapted for school use in all grades, but especially the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades. The purpose of the drills is to secure good carriage and posture and teach the children to stand and walk correct­ly. Nearly fifty Normal students have already taken the opportunity offered them and are enrolled in the class. The results already available from the adaption of these and similar exer­cises by the boys in service practically guarantee that they will not only be popular with teachers and students alike, but will prove very beneficial. MONTAGUE McHUGH Incorporated — "Merchandise of Quality Only" *„- ~* schedules made up Tuesday evening this tournament will' undoubtedly hold forth until Saturday of this week. HOBO UNIVERSITY IN NEW YORK CITY T AT FOREST ST. COURTS With twenty initial entries and more expected, the city tennis tournament in progress on the Forest street courts holds the center of interest just now, especially at the Normal, which has sent down a number of crack players, including Glenn Hughes and Gerald Van Horn for the men's doubles, Broadbent and Laandall for both singles and doubles and Bugge for singles. The contests include play for the Gamwell cup, already held the first two years out of the necessary three by Miss Marion Wheaton to whose credit is already given the University tennis honors this summer. In the men's singles play will be for the Her­ald trophy sup. Judging from The latest educational institution is Hobo University. No, it is not a joke, it is a real institution, and they do not teach how to become hoboes. They learn about monads, the ultimate con­stituent, the goneness of the past, the whatness of the which, religion and the absolute, the traffic regula­tions of space, man's relation to tht infinite and many other fundamentally important things. James Eads How is president of the University and, so the Digest sa3's, is '"drest for the part." "His clothes hang about his slim and slightly drooping figure in undulat­ing folds. His trousers are bagged at the knees." Now of course this is in the East. Here presidents of institutions are not drest like that. When the session opens they sing a song or two. Usually they sing some original song of which the fol­lowing is a sample: Awake! Awake! Put on thy strength And loose thy bands Arise and shine! thy banners all un furled, Go forth] G° forth! united sons ol many lands, Proclaim the year of jubilee to all the world. '06 MEMORIAL TO BE AT ONCE Orders have been placed with Mr. Gibson to repair the fountain which has been broken for some time. The fountain, which was the gift of the graduating class of '06 and has added much to the attractiveness of the cam­pus, is a wrought iron structure. This is to be replaced by a rustic, pile of rocks in which ferns and moss will grow. This will be in harmony with the other landscape features of the campus and will be less of a tryout for stones thrown by idle hands. Apropos of gifts Of the alumni we may suggest that the people of the Summer School need not be surprised sojne morning to find that the seniors have been doing a bit of masonry some dark night. As the Klipsun is off the press it may now be added to the other records and buried under the 1919' block in the date walk. - TWO SPANISH PLAYS WILL APPEAR MONDAY (Continued from page 1) be placed in your hands, so ignorance of the language will not put you at a disadvantage. The cast of "Uno de Ellos Debe Casare" is as follows: Tia Maria Miss Winslow Sr. Professor Juan Ruiz,' Miss Bartow Sr. Professor Diego Ruiz, Miss Robin Luisa Miss Collins In addition to the plays a group of Spanish songs will be sung, includ-the ing the Spanish national anthem.

Dr. Nash has been invited to attend an institute held in West Virginia sometime in August. It is probable that he will accept and spend a few days in the West Virginia hills. Mr. Heckmann, Nora B. Cummins, and Dean Woodard are members of a committee that is assisting in the educational survey which is being conducted by the city schools. About one hundred or more students of the Normal are also helping. Mr. Cole's classes in school admin­istration are proving to be very large and practical. The course given can be applied when the teachers begin their work' this fall. Victor Hoppe and family are spend­ing a few weeks on Orcas Island. The plays that are being put on by the foreign language class under the supervision of Miss Bagstad and Miss Beardsley, promise to be very entertaining and instructive. Mr. Philippi writes that he is just starting his work at the "U." He is making "inorganic and organic prep­arations entirely on an individual basis," and is sure he wll find it en­joyable and profitable. Mr. Philippi says they are nearer the U but crowd­ed for room so in order to"spread out" they have arranged to spend the week ends at a summer cottage at Harper on the other side of the bay. Mr. Philippi speaks of attending the an­nual reunion of the B. S. N. S. stu­dents and graduates Tuesday evening of last week.

THE BELLINGHAM NATIONAL BANK Capital and Surplus $475,000.00 THE VALUE OF BIRDS It is evident that there are some people who do not realize the econo­mic value of birds. In a recent biological survey, in which agents were sent all over the country, the followng conclusons were reached: The meadow-larks' food is 99 per cent insects which are harmful to crops. These birds would save $356 in valuation of a crop on 36 square miles for the season. The black headed grosbeak eats corn and peas, but for every quart it consumes, it destroys more than one and one half quarts of black olive scales, one quart of flower beetles, besides coddling-moths, pupae and canker worms. It has been determined by a care­ful estimate that the bird population of Bellingham is about sixteen per acre. In the city limits there are 15,360 acres, which would give a total of 245,760 birds. Each bird is estimated to consume a total of about four pounds of insects in. a season. This would mean that 983,040 -pounds of vermin are destroyed by the birds in a season. Have you ever noticed the dreadful facial contortions of a person who found, not a whole worm but half of one in an apple? What do you think would happen, to the physiognomies of the citizens of Bellingham if those 983,043 pounds of insects had not been cap­tured by our birds? —B. S. Patronize your advertisers.

TRAIL NAMES How do you feel when you hear an old prosaic name applied to a thing which is truly wonderful? Don't you feel your nerves sliding around, grat­ing and screaming? Your nervous system has a perfect­ly good chance to dance around and moan when it hears, "Reservoir Trail." The trail itself is beautiful, it is more than beautiful—they don't make words to fit its wonderfulness. When we hear "Reservoir Trail" we think of a common, ordinary, man-made "walk, and our imaginations have to soar and soar to get from the pro-saicness that the name implies to the wondrous beauty of the trail. We saw fit to give Sunset Trail an appropri­ate name—can't we be generous enough to give others their due rights? Can't we dig around in our imagin­ations, brains, or memories, or some­thing, and find a name—suitable for superb things—and then cast off the name of "Reservoir Trail," so that when we think of the trail our nerves can remain quiet and we can enjoy our thoughts of the trail to the fullest extent. —M. G. H. ABOUT SUPERVISORS Did you ever hear a teacher com­plain of lack of respect shown her by her pupils? What was your con­clusion? To command respect one must al­ways maintain self respect. We can­not keep our poise, our confidence in the ' school room if we are poor scholars, if we dress carelessly or un­cleanly, if we are in poor health or if Ave harbor narrow, revengeful, inferi­or thoughts toward others. It gives us confidence to feel that we are doing our level best to make our school class a success. Supervisors, you have a large share in making the young teacher feel con­fidence in herself. If criticism would consist more of praise than finding fault, and the young teacher made to feel equally responsible and important and not so vastly inferior to her su­periors, then self confidence and self respect would be more largely instilled into the beginning teacher. As it rests with the teachers to a large extent, whether the pupils are working for credits or for an educa­tion, so it rests with the supervisors whether the practice teachers are working for credits or really learning the art of teaching. Why not harbor elevating, construc­tive thoughts of ourselves and others? Why. not hunt for the good only— and advertise it? —M. B. arraigns for inhabiting the campus lake. Thinking the matter all over we come to reflect that if our new $23,000 grounds cause the Journal editor so much perturbation of mind, the sight of the $100,000 dormitory soon to be built, when he takes a look at it will make it necessary to have at hand a good supply of restoratives also a pulmonator and an ambulance. —B. S. A PROTEST We learn a great deal of late about sanitation. If it is worth anything at all, it is worthy of a practical applica­tion. The absolute abandon with which some people cough and sneeze, with no apparent regard for their neighbors, is quite appalling. The following couplet— "Cover up each cough and sneeze, If you don't you'll spread disease," should be learned, and it's injunction followed—at least in the library and assembly. A cold is a disagreeable companion and we should be consider­ate enough not to pass it on to o neighbors. A STUDENT.

Hot weather, where many people work in close proximity and are often crowded in passing to and from work, or classes, is very try­ing to some nerves and tempers. Let LAUNCH A BOOST FOR THE SANCTUARY The bird sanctuary suggestion in last week's Messenger brought re­sults we had hardly hoped for. You never can tell when or 'how you are liable to start something. A little spark may cause the atmosphere to become filled with dark ill-smelling smoke. We didn't suspect there was anything incendiary in the little pro­ject proposed til we noted the dum-founding and "flabbergasting" effect it had upon the editor of a certain big daily paper published down town. Right at the head of its editorial col­umn in the Sunday issue a double-column space ten inches in length was allotted to our bird sanctuary subject. Think of that. And it didn't cost us a cent for the advertising. Won't our fund grow though, now? Yet we have a sort of sub-conscious doubt whether the editor really in­tended it to help us. He says he never had a sanctuary and we are afraid he doesn't know or care very much about sanctuaries anyhow. We don't believe he wants anybody to have a sanctuary, particularly the Normal. We haven't entirely forgot­ten what his attitude has always been toward the Normal and everything and everybody connected with it, us all t ry to be just as p l e a s a n t / a s f^ro.m^ t.,h e b„o„a^rd^ o^ f t„ruuustvewe„s t„o„ t„h„e„ sMt„u„-. friendly, as accommodating as during dent teachers and even down to the the past six weeks.

The Reed College Department of Physical Education, in common with every other fully equipt college department, will continue to maintain a clinic as the laboratory of experience and instruction for stu­dents who major in Physical Educa­tion. An appropriation has been made to Reed College by the Federal Gov­ernment of $3600 for assistance in the organization and operation of a de­partment of hygiene during the next college year. This arrangement with the Government provides for a sem­ester course in school hygiene which will be required by all Reed College students who are candidates for state teachers' certificates. "The Hesperian," Hoquiam High School's year book, is delightful in its originality. Among the outstanding features of its unusualness are the class prophecies and class histories which are written in newspaper form.

A new class will be given at the 11 o'clock period, and there will be room for more students in this class. The work, wihich is very practical, includes gymnasium marching and fancy steps. Miss Long, the instructor, says all will find the work very valuable and interesting and that the teachers are enthusiastic about it. Those who are able had better avail themselves of the opportunity to en­ter the 11 o'clock class. TRAINING SCHOOL NEWS A surprise flower-shower and pro­gram was given on Miss Gray Thurs- ' day, July 10, at 10 a. m., by her pupils and teachers of the 5th and 6th grades. The following children's program was given: "Old Ironsides" Edith Snyder Jokes Merle Kibbe Harp solos Violet Waite America Star-Spangled Banner "The American and the Turk" r Lawrence Stark . Piano solo, "Home Sweet Home".... Bonnie Kirby Jokes : Clement McMahon "Whose Afraid?" Ruth Miner Miss Sampson, who is to take Miss Gray's place, was introduced to the children. A box of candy was given Miss Gray, and her parting message was: "Be good to your teachers." The traveler said some German far­mers who had observed this strange action on the part of American sol­diers were willing to make allowances. They said probably in America flies were large and that their bite caused instant death. Therefore Americans had formed the habit of killing all flies they saw. , The traveler said another proof the farmer in the occupied zone had that Americans were stark, raving mad was that they made them open their win­dows at night and let in the deadly night air, which every German peasant knows is most poisonous. The German farmer likes to close all windows at night and plug up every key-hole to keep out the deadly night air, but, if the Americans catch them •with the windows closed, they haul them into court and fine them. The peasants say the American sol­diers told them it was one of President Wilson's fourteen points that all Ger­mans should have their windows open at night, which is proof to some that Americans want to kill the Germans off with consumption, while others say it shows Wilson is a s mad as the rest of the Americans. ENTERTAINING FLY-SWATTING SHOCKS TEUTONS A German who had traveled in the territory occupied by American troops, told Richard Henry Little of the Chi­cago Tribune some interesting stories regarding German ideas. "The peasants told me," said he, "you might never know an American was mad unless a fly came into the room. When the American sees a fly, a strange, hard glitter comes into his eyes. Then you see he is crazy. His mania makes him want to hit the fly. He folds up newspapers and tiptoes over behind the fly and strikes at it with great viciousness. If it does not die, he pursues it, calls in more sol­diers, and strikes at the fly." Gen. Pershing was astonished to re­ceive last month from a New York vaudeville manager a five-figure offer to deliver short daily talks in the vaudeville 'bouses throughout Amer­ica. The General did not reply to this telegram, but a fortnight went by. Then the vaudeville man wired again: "Have you entertained my proposi­tion?" "No," Gen. Pershing wired back, "Your proposition has entertained me." —New York Globe. HUMANITY *._«-. Gage- Dodson Co.

The girls all enjoyed a week end visit of Marie Turner's mother and sisters from Seattle. Sunday the whole party took a delightful trip around the San Juan Islands. Some of the girls stopped at East Sound to visit two for­mer Normal students, Beth Curtis and Beth Neterer, who are spending the summer there. Bessie Dick was happily surprised by the arrival of her father Monday evening. Several of the girls enjoyed a very pleasant ride out to Deming, through his kindness. D. A. Y.

A merry company was present at the place of his visitation, he reports. As usual, Wright went to Sumas. He seems to have a lingering longing for that place. , The persons with the largest story are our '-'Mighty" Dan and Sitton. Hearing them talk one would imagine that East Sound is suffering from a famine as a result of their week end sojqurn there. Sitton vows that Dan ate six chickens—some appetite for chicken, we would remark. The curi­ously strange thing is that on their re­turn they were still hungry. Brown stayed and held the fort and slept and climbed Sehome. Sunday with a grand ceremony and blare of trumpets Purves celebrated his twenty first birthday. Harrison Hall Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Harrison are visiting their parents Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Harrison of 610 Cedar Street. They all left early Wednesday morn­ing and spent the day in Glacier.

Jennie Fries and Coila Parker were swimming at the beach Monday even­ing. Miss Stryker was a guest at din­ner Tuesday at the home of Miss Druse. Hazel Beach spent the week end at Sedro-Woolley. From reports and the appearance of her neck we fully be­lieve that the mosquitoes are numer­ous and very large there. Grace Cunningham and Juanita Bunch spent Sunday at Birch Bay. Martha Kjelstad enjoyed Sunday by going on the excursion to the San Juan Islands. A party of the girls went to the beach Sunday afternoon. They came back sunburned and some could hard­ly hobble because of bruises and cuts on their feet from the barnacles. Jennie Fries left Monday for her home in Seattle. Y. W. C. A.

There were only four girls left on the second floor Saturday, so we de­cided to entertain ourselves by hav­ing ia slumber party on the back porch. We are sure that we had a better time than all the girls who traveled far away to enjoy the week end. Agnes Kirkman spent Sunday on Chuckanut Beach with relatives. Agnes is becoming very fond of Chucknaut Beach. Sagebrush Club All you Sagebrushers don't forget the big time that is coming! The grand event of the year is to be a trip to East Sound next Saturday. The launch "City of Anacortes" will leave the Citizen's Dock promptly at eight o'clock in the morning. If you are, a Sagebrusher and want a good time of course you will be there.

My dear Dr. Nash: Am attending the University this summer and find a very large num­ber of our students over here. There are four of us from '15 in one of my classes. Next term I shall teach in Havana, Cuba, under the Methodist Mission Board. I am looking forward to it with a great deal of pleasure. I was at the Normal the morning Madam Schunian-Heink was to have sung. Although this was a disappoint­ment it certainly was a keen pleasure to meet the members of the faculty and students I know.

BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, JULY if, 1919 No. 39 II STARTS WITH VIGOR The first six weeks' semester of the summer school ended Tuesday of last week and the new semester began Monday, so no time was lost between periods. A number of students are leaving, having completed their work here, while others planned to be in attendance only one semester. How­ever a sufficient number are enrolling for the second semester's work, such that the summer school enrollment will remain about the same. The services of many prominent men have been secured as teachera during the next quarter, and lecturers from various parts of the country will address the assemblies. Thomas R. Cole, assistant superintendent of the Seattle schools, has charge of tWe work in administration. O. C. Whit­ney; acting superintendent of the Bell-ingham schools and secretary of the Washington Educational Association, is giving a thorough course in re­views. W. A. Jennings, superintendent of the Anacortes schools, is the in­structor in economic geography, and in the geography and history of the world war. May G. Long, director of physical education in Everett, has charge of that work here for the new term. Vaughan MacCaughey, profes­sor of Natural History in the College of Hawaii, has charge of the biology classes. Miss Anna Bagstad will con­tinue her work throughout the summer session in the modern language de­partment. Among those who have been absent during the first six weeks, but now re­turned are Mr. Carver, Miss Clark. Bertha Crawford, Miss Moffat, Mrs. Samson. Mr. Hickmann and Mr. Par­ish.

MILLER Education and the World Crisis, the new course offered by Dr. Miller, should prove both interesting and val­uable to up-to-date teachers. New problems confront the schools today as a result of the war. Many ccnditions and ideas have been changed. New ideas in vocational education and social service are be­ing discussed and tried out. There need to be larger provisions for voca­tional education in our school system. It is the aim of educators to broaden the field to reach beyond school age and aid in training for citizenship. The experience of the army in se­lecting men by tests gives valuable suggestions to the school. Dr. Miller may, in his course, offer suggestions along this line. Army experts found men unprepared and unguided regard­ing their life-work. Vocational guid­ance is to take a large part in voca­tional education. These problems-lead to the question of educating and socializing the for­eign- born in this country, including the teaching of patriotism and world democracy. The past two years, of war-relief and other patriotic work, have done wonderful things in social service among foreign-born as well as American-born grown-ups and children. Are these valuable experiences to be lost to humanity or are they to be made permanent, particularly in the lives of children? All teachers will wish to know the answer. Already the enrollment in this course is large. VARIED PROGRAM AT Y The program at the Assembly June 14 was unlike those of our past Mon­day Assemblies. There was not a musical program, but rather than this, Dr. Nash introduced Assistant Super­intendent Cole of Seattle schools, and Mae Long, physical instructor of Ever­ett schools, who are to instruct at the Normal during this six weeks.- Several more instructors who were not present have been added to the faculty. Dr. Nash also announced several of the affairs to be held at the school in the near future. . An announcement was made by El-wyn Bugge, to the effect that much wearing apparel was left on the train (Continued on page, two) DELIA L. KEELER Miss Delia L. Keeler, who has been associated with the B. S. N. S. for several years, -and who has made so many sincere friends, writes from Kansas where she is visiting her brother before she takes up her work at Teacher's College, Columbia Uni­versity, this fall. Miss Keeler is a graduate of Salina College, Kansas; was Deputy County Superintendent of Whatcom County, then County Superintendent for four years. She has since been associated with the Normal, having charge of the Rural Department, proving herself efficient, helpful and cheery in her work. The past year Miss Keeler has had charge of the Rural Cadet Teachers, and those who taught under her super­vision found her sympathetic and help­ful. In speaking of Miss Keeler our President says, "She is a very earnest, capable, efficient worker, and we con-sdier our school the stronger for hav­ing had her with us." THESPI PLAYJUCCESSFULL The Thespian play, "Green ' Stock­ings," which was presented in the Normal Auditorium Thursday evening, July 10. made a great hit with the audience. Both the members of the club who took part in .the play,, and their director, Professor Hoppe, de­serve great credit for the splendid work which was done. Briefly, the story of the play is as follows: When Phyllis Faraday an­nounces her engagement to Robert Tarver, who is running for Parliament, her eldest sister, Celia, who has twice followed the old English custom of a girl wearing green stockings at a younger sister's wedding, resolves to do so no more, and so announces her own engagement to an imaginary hero, Colonel John Smith. Hitherto, she had been rather looked down upon and slighted because she apparently had so little attraction for men, but now she becomes the center of all attrac­tion. She writes a letter to Col. Smith, and later thinks she burns it, but Phyllis posts it. She takes her aunt, Mrs." "Ch'isholm Faraday, into her confidence. Eight months later, (Continued on page 2) Next Wednesday evening at 8:30 P. M. in the Normal Auditorium, Mr. Harrison T. Raymond, tenor, and Mr. Glenn Hughes of the English depart­ment, will give a joint recital of mu­sic and poetry. They will be assisted by Miss Greta Banes, a young pianist of Seattle. • This recital promises to be one of the most interesting attractions of the entire summer, not only because of the standards of the artists participat­ing, but because it will contain orig­inal features. Mr. Raymond is known as one of the finest tenors of the Northwest, and the excellence of his taste in selecting programs is too well known to need mention. His songs this time will be nearly all new ones of a classic and semi-classic nature. The program is not ready for publica­tion, but it is very likely that his first number will be the perfectly beauti­ful aria, "Sorrows of Death" from Mendelssohn's "Hymn of Praise." Mr. Hughes will read first an orig­inal one-act play entitled "Lace." His other contribution will be a group of six new lyric poems, which have not as yet been published or presented to the public in any way. Several of them are to be included in his next volume of verse called "A Slender Reed," which probably will make its appearance some time this fall. Miss Banes, besides accompanying Mr. Raymond, will play at least one piano solo. She is a technician of great ability, and shows exceptional powers of emotional interpretation. Tickets for the recital will be on sale shortly, probably at the Normal and a special')price, of twenty-five cents will be made to Normal students.; General admission will be thirty-five. OF Last Friday's assembly was the last one for a good many of the Normal students, as it was the closing assem­bly of the first six weeks of the sum­mer session. ~~ : We were sorry not to have Dr. Nash with us, but as he was called out of the city to confer with Governor Hart, we were told by Prof. Bever that Dr. Nash was with us in spirit as he left a message of farewell for those who were leaving at the end of (Continued on page 2) ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1919 July 17 - Page 2 ---------- 2 • • . • THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1919 SECOND SUMMER TERM STARTS WITH VIGOR (Continued from page one) Moffat, Miss Montgomery, Miss Morse^ Miss Mobray, Mrs. Rising, Mrs. Thatch­er, and Miss Tompkins. Twenty four members of the faculty, working dur­ing the first half of summer school will continue with their work. One of the big features of the new session is the opportunity that will be given every student enrolled in the school to see all the performances of the Ellison-White Chautauqua. Tickets will be given the entire school body so that all may enjoy and profit by the seven days of varied entertainment, consisting of lectures by Miss Ida M. Tarbell, America's noted publicist and journalist, and other well known speakers, music of the best, and ex­cellent dramatic readers. Among the prominent lecturers who have promised their presence at some indefinite date are: Mrs. Josephine Corliss Preston, state superintendent and recently elected president of the national educational association; Dr. Allen Abbott, of Columbia University; Dr. E. A. Sisson, of the University of Montana; Governor Louis F1. Hart, Clarke Savidge, commissioner of pub­lic lands, Ellen Creelman, head of the kindergarten school in Seattle, and President N. B. Showalter of the Che­ney Normal. Professor Victor H. Hoppe will favor the school with a play recital, probably "The Man From Home." Other interesting features will be arranged for in the future to make the assemblies attractive and interesting as well as educational. At the close of the summer session a large number of students will receive their certificates of graduation, an event which will greatly increase the personnel of graduates of the Bellihg-ham Normal school for the entire year. INTERESTING COURSE . GIVEN BY DR. MILLER (Continued from page one) by some of those energetic Normal mountaineers. Dr. Herre spoke to the students of his trip to California, thanking his pu­pils for the opportunity of going. He attended the Western Division of the American Association of the Depart­ment of Science. His report of those persons and places he saw was very interesting, and was enjoyed by the whole student body. THESPIANS REVIEW PLAY SUCCESSFULLY -* The Kodak Store ENGBERG DRUG CO.

That evening, shortly after the family have seen the notice of Col. Smith's death, Colonel Varasour, who represents himself as a life long friend of Smith's, arrives, with a mes­sage for Celia. The rest of the family are dining out, so Celia dines alone with him. His actions and words arouse her suspicion, and he finally confesses that he is Col. Smith, and that he has her letter. Celia, chagrined that the affair should turn out in this wise, requests him to leave on the mid­night train, but he is detained by Bobby, who is worried over his elec­tion, so Celia makes hasty arrange­ments for the departure of herself and her aunt. Colonel Smith returns to the drawing room in the midst of her preparations; tells her he loves her and begs her to stay, but she refuses and is about to start, then suddenly changes her mind and comes back to Col. Smith. The play abounds in amusing situa­tions and the audience was in an al­most constant uproar of mirth thru-out the whole play. The wcrk of the entire cast was ex­cellent. Miss Ober as Celia, Mr. Hoppe as Colonel Smith, and Miss Lee as •Phyllis, were the favorites of the evening. Miss Lee deserves special mention for her work, for tho she had only three rehearsals, she carried her part without a break. Following is the cast: PERSONS OF THE PLAY Admiral Grice .-.

Mr. Kibbe made a very definite announcement concerning the granting of life diplo­mas which are given out next May. He said the best time to hand in pe­titions for life diplomas was between January 1 and March 1. Following Mr. Kibbe's announce­ment Prof. Hoppe announced that the members of the Expression 4 class would produce for the pleasure of the student body on Monday evening four short plays. Those of us who saw "The Neighbors" produced at Wednes­day's assembly by this same class were more than delighted as we knew what was in store for us. Mr. Bugge then gave a few final announcements concerning the trip to Glacier and following this an­nouncement we were delightfully en­tertained with some slides of' the Mt. Baker region. We were all delighted when we be­held the slide of "our Dr. Nash" astride a huge log. It gives us a comfy feeling to know that we have as head of our Normal school one who 'is "*ruly human." MANY WELL-KNOWN STUDENTS HAVE LEFT Mention the Messenger. Gone—gone will be many of the old familiar faces at the opening of the new quarter. The school, judging from the enrollment will be much smaller the last quarter of summer school. The students unanimously ex­press gratitude for benefits received at summer school.

Phone 180 1305 Dock Street ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1919 July 17 - Page 3 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1919: E BRILLIANT LECTURE "By its drama, posterity will judge the American civilization"—this was the key-note of a most inspiring lec­ture, given by Maurice Browne, Found­er of the Little Theatre of Chicago, on "From Aeschylus to Geo. M. Co­han," in the Aftermath Clubhouse July 8. under the auspices of the Bell-ingham Centre of the Drama League of America. ; "Not for Pericles do we remember Greece, but for Euripides and those that went before him. It is in art in its most concentrated form in the dra­ma— that the sinceriyt and truth of a people is measured. Out of the "New Movement" gaining place in America, we hope to see a national drama de­velop. In the establishment of a De­gree of Drama in the University of Washington, we see a step in the right direction. All credit to the state that inaugurates- such a thing." Beginning his lecture with a glow­ing tribute to the view from Inspira­tion Point as one of the most beau­tiful he had ever seen, Mr. Browne took his audience back to one of sim­ilar grandeur ' in Sicily, where the "skies were bluer" but the loveliness was. much the same gt;"Then come back with me 2000 years, when the people here—people dressed a little differently, but just like you and me, are going to the religious festival in the temple.—Ever the.same yearnings in their hearts as in ours, they find satisfaction in their devotion to the God of Love in keeping the memory of the Great Dead.

Not the cheap movie with its arrant sentimentalism, but real feel­ing dominated the stage." Then, coming nearer modern days, Mr. Brdwne touched on the sordid speculative interests that controlled the European drama a hundred years ago. "Their plays were impossible for intelligent people to-enjoy. Melodra­ma, false sentiment, cheated our brains with lies and our hearts with sham romanticism. All was for money —till the people under Ibsen rose in rebellion and cried, "No! we shall have truth that we may understand ourselves." "And then, since the sun of Truth always throws Beauty as its shadow, because the drama had thrown the money-changers out from its temples, beauty returned to the theatre. "It is in Isadora Duncan, that great American woman, that we find the pioneer in the movement to bring visual beauty back to the stage, while John Millington Synge, the dramatist of Ireland, combined truth and beauty to bring forth the highest art of the modern theatre." Then' the speaker continued to show how, out of the discipline of the older drama and the sincerity of the new, came the Little Theatre move­ment— aiming to express "not merely ourselves, but the hope, the aspira­tion, the yearning, the failure that be­long to all humanity. "It is in the growth of this move­ment in America that we hope," con­cluded Mr. Browne. " Although the War has overturned our sense of val­ues and left us striving to find new mental terms, we see a new sj gt;irit in the American public. The love of Truth and Beauty that turned Europe from the old, is sweeping • over us. Youth is rising against the success-standard of life and demanding the bigger things—sincerity, nobility of purpose. Thus even as public taste is improving we may look forward to greater drama. It must be so, for —"Without the vision the people per­ish." FACULTY WAX MERRY AND HOLD PICNIC Last Wednesday evening at 5 o'clock the faculty members and their families gathered at Whatcom Palls Pork, where, under the supervision of Mr. Bever, Mr. Hoppe, Mrs. Lovegren, Miss Montgomery and Miss Longley, s very delightful evening was spent in picnic fashion. Much credit was due Miss Langley of the Domestic Science Department for the splendid menu provided. The chief centers of attraction dur­ing the evening were the little Misses Joan Hoppe and Catherine Coughlin. The faculty was also very glad to meet Mrs. Heskman, wife of our Manual Training teacher. At a comparatively early hour, by way of good example, the various members betook themselves to their respective homes, all declaring that they had spent a most enjoyable even­ing, and hoping that the process may be repeated.

SUNSET AT SEA Now o'er the west's sun-reddened steep The clouds pile in a toppling heap, And color alL her unspared urns Riotously overturns; Then, shaking starlight from her hair, The night creeps soft up twilight's stair. —HARRY KEMP THE NEW PROPERTY We note the Normal is to have addi­tions to its campus on High Street and Sehome Hill. Hardly anything the Board of Re­gents could do for the school would be appreciated more than this, their attempt to enlarge and improve the campus. The old lawns and pathways have long been inadequate to the needs of a growing school. Noon-hours and sun­ny afternoons of the past have seen the students scattered over Sehome Hill, wandering into woods that should be more closely a part of our own campus. The Normal is too big to be cramped into 68 acres. And the dormitory! The mad scram­ble to get rooms in Edens Hall was enough to discourage any would-be teacher. The new home which is planned—of twice the capacity of Edens Hall—will add greatly to the OUR WISHES The last six weeks of summer school opened July 14 with a good many new­ly registered students. To them we extend the heartiest wish that they may enjoy the work and experience a successful school quarter. Those who are leaving the school and to whom we also extend our best wishes can promise of the merits of this year's summer school and the help and as­sistance obtained from the numerous courses. We hope that the students going from the school now will think often of the W. S. N. S. when their coming school work has been taken up. Often the school life preparatory to teaching holds the most pleasant t gt;i memories. It is hoped that such will be the case with the students al­ready gone. Those who take their places on the faculty the last six weeks have also our kindest wishes. We hope they may find their work as favorable as those returning have already discov­ered. May the power that lies with students and teachers to make the summer of 1919 stand: out as success­ful make all members of the Belling­ham Normal work together for the best good of the second sesuon. —C. TJ. T. WOMEN'S APPAREL OF QUALITY i* there a more rightful and proper place to prepare for such leadership than here and now? Again, the health side of the ques­tion is not to be considered lightly. Twenty or thirty minutes of whole hearted, full-chested singing is cer­tainly conductive to the best of health. Allow me to add that a little spirit in cur Normal song, or better, a Normal song with a little spirit, 7would as­suredly impress both strangers and pupils with a decided air of ' pride, now sadly lacking. Altogether then, you who love the school of your choice, let's boost the community sing.—E. E. E. THE COMMUNITY SING How would it appeal to you, fellow Normalites, to have a revival of the good old fashioned community sing? Look over our vast and glorious as­sembly when a certain number is announced for singing. What do we see? Absolute irresponse is registered en nine tenths of those intelligent faces. After one poorly sung song, there is a general feeling of relief and the crowd is seated. Why should this be? Surely there ij, no entertain­ment more enlivening and refreshing than an inspiring "sing" wherein every individual feels himself respon­sible for the results achieved. Often the assembly is dismissed before the hour is up. Why could not this time be, given to amusement along this line instead of general discussiens in the halls? The community sing idea is no new thought, -and is growing rapidly in many of our towns and cities where leaders work daily with various groups of citizens, young and old. The people who come from this institution will undoubtedly be obliged to take their places in their respective communities as leaders in this movement. Where A SANCTUARY Our school needs a Bird Sanctuary! Now that we have come into posses­sion of the wooded hillside back of the school, let us get together and talk of the need of a sanctuary. The natural beauty, the trees and a small stream is an inviting place for the birds. Recently, in Riverside, California, there has been erected a sanctuary, a gift from the school—children of the Lowell School. This was made and erected by children with the exception of help from an interested man. After the erection, a bird festival was celebrated, which included a play­let . "The Birds of Killingworth" and "The Pageant of Spring." After the pageant, a small boy, chosen by his classmates, performed the sacred rite of turning on the water of the fountain while the class sang "The Bird's Return." Think what it would mean, to go up en the hillside some vacant period, rest, and watch the birds. The train­ing school classes could make a study .of them and learn kindness and gentle­ness to birds. A great advantage it would be to the nature study classes too, in their study. When the new dormitory is built, the girls will be fortunate enough to be close to the sanctuary and be able to make many observations of birds. The summer nature study class has started a fund for a sanctuary. At piesent we have a nest egg of two dollars, but before the summer is over, we expect to have more from the sale of the garden products. • —B. S.

Orne Anna Madsen Harold Stratton Marguerite Henderson Miss Shelton Edwin Madsen MONDAY EVENING'S PROGRAM The entertainment offered by the Expression Department of the Normal School Monday evening, was both very interesting and varied. The pro­gram consisted of four one-act plays and the characters chosen were well suited to their parts. The first number, "The Trumpet" was a dream story which showed that everlasting joy could be had only by being alive to the beauties and charms or nature. "Overtones" portrayed the worldly poise and true; innerselves of two women of culture who would have the world believe that the empty life of each brought her happiness and con­tentment. "Joint Owners in Spain" was the story of two crabbed inmates of a home for old ladies who could not agree with anybody and were finally housed in the same room. And the chalk line that was first intended to define the boundaries of each finally dwindled into insignificance. The song of Mrs. Blair and the tears of Miss Dyer caused no end of merriment for the audience. The last number, "Dust of the Road," explained how the spirit of Christmas turned a man and woman from a premeditated theft, and self-life to the alleviation of the sufferings of humanity. Following is the list of plays and the characters of each. THE TRIMPLET By Stuart Walker The Lady Bobalavo Gladys West The Marguise of Stevenatheo R. J.

Fraser House Miss Lucille Barnes left our happy midst Friday to return to her home iiiTacftoma. On Wednesday evening the girls of the house gave' her a little surprise party. Games were played and refreshments served. Those present besides the hostesses were Vera Gade, Urfred Ostin, Mary Fullington, Dorothy Goodchild and Ethel Hamilton. All the girls of the house enjoyed the Thespian play, "Green Stockings," Thursday evening. A very tired but happy bunch of girls ton reaching their home—431 High—late Saturday night, all agreed that the day spent at Glacier had been ideal and that the scenery on the trail to Mt. Baker would be hard to excel. Miss Marie Turner was happily sur­prised Saturday evening by the ar­rival of her sister from Seattle. They spent Sunday visiting friends, Mr. and Mrs. O. P. Stevens and Mr. Earl Wood-worth, of Nooksack. D. A. Y. DEN NOTES We are- very sad to report that Cordz, Gilbraith and Gregory have left our merry company. We wonder how Schusman will survive the departure of his sole mate. Turnbull, Schusman, Brown, Wright, Sitton and Sorensen all report a very strenuous time on Saturday's excur­sion. This week we welcome to our den Neal Purvis. The excursion Saturday was too strenuous for Justice, so he remained at home and climbed Sehome. We are informed that Brown reached tbe point of destination Saturday thru the aid of a husky maiden. We are proud of the fact that our BIG SOCIAL AFFAIR One of the most thrilling social events of the summer came to pass on the placid lawn beside Edens Hall on July 7. The crows above in the sweet-scented thyme sang right merrily as the bridegroom with the fair one on his blushing arm galloped to the natural archway made by the overhanging sky. Hiram and Heck made a picture beauti­ful to gaze upon. The writer is not sufficiently enlightened or educat­ed to speak of the mysteries of how the bridal party was gowned. Cordy, with all the elasticity of his long lamented youth acted as the best man. Hanging like a grape vine on his arm proudly strode Liz. Even the great evening sun enjoyed the nuptials and seemed to wink its eye in a profusion of ecstasy. After the farewell benediction had been pronounced and the ring had been located on the proper finger, a shower of sumptuous rice fell on the heads of the happy benighted pair. H. D. Sorensen D. D., officiated, using the triple ring ceremony. He exhorted with such pathos that there was only one dry eye in the congregation of waiting friends. Many costly and use­ful presents were not received by the bedewed pair. The next morning a sumptuous breakfast consisting of hot-and-cold was served. Turnbull was the only man to reach the top of Lookout Mountain. Wright enjoyed a fishing trip Sun­day on the South Fork of the Nook-sack. He doesn't even attempt, to tell any fish stories, so we believe him. Schusman spent Sunday at Meek's Ranch, Birch Bay, and Everson. We wonder if he took his umbrella along. Parker House Edna Miller left Saturday for Port­land, Oregon, where she , will spend the summer. Hazel Beach and Jenie Fries enter­tained Vivian Bettanini at dinner atr the Leopold Thursday. Vivian Bettanini returned to her home in Seattle Saturday after having finished Normal. Erma Brown of 513 High and her sister Cora Brown of Portland accom­panied by Georgia Johnson and Lu-verna Johnston enjoyed a camp fire supper-at Flat Rock Sunday evening. Marie Snoddy, Bessie Van Eaton, Martha Kjelstad, Georgia Johnson and Luverna Johnston took the trip to Glacier Saturday. Anna and Jennie Fries spent the week-end near Ferndale. Myrtle Pulsifer, Juanita Bunch and Grace Cunningham are new additions to our family. Miss Stryker and Clara Willard spent Sunday afternoon reading at the beach. Parker House girls presented Vivian Bettanini with an ivory bud vase for a graduating present. She also re­ceived many other beautiful gifts. Patronize your advertisers.

Up-to-Date and Fireproof FREE BUS — TELEPHONE 372 A Nice Home for You Elk and Holly - - - - - Bellingham GLACIER TRIP A REAL OUTDOOR ADVENTURE About 350 merry Normalites board­ed the "observation cars" last Satur­day between 7 and 7:30. The trip was enjoyed by all, in singing, laugh­ing and telling stories. At every stop, crowds of energetic students got off and investigated the surroundings. The train reached Glacier at 10:30. There the crowd divided into three groups, one bound for Roosevelt Gla­cier, another for Church Mt. and the last for Skyline Ridge. Bugge and Broadbent started up the trail to the glacier at a smart pace, almost a run, in fact. Professor Kibbe with a staider few. took the trail a lit­tle more calmly and the astounding fact is that Mr. Kibbe was on the glacier and Bugge viewed it from a distance. There were about thirty who really stood on the ice. We who did are proud of the fact and con­sider the sight worth the long climb. That climb back! Such a distance in between mile posts! First you dis­covered you had a shoulder, then an ankle, then a side and finally a back. Toward the last you walked along in blissful agony, searching only for the mile post which showed up so few times and so far between. A great deal of pluck was shown, by Miss Greenwood, who fell from the trail by Twin Falls. Caught sev­eral feet below the trail in a dead tree, and cut painfully on the head, she looked up hopefully into Clarence Bjorlie's eyes, and said "I'm not hurt, but I wish someone would come down and get me." He did. About 120 started up the trail to Church Mt. under the leadership of Harry Sorenson. About twelve reached the top and saw the many beautiful sights from the summit. A particularly wonderful view of Mt. Baker was ob­tained from here. The trail was steep and these people noticed the long dis­tance in between signs that we others did. About twenty started on the trip to Skyline Ridge along with Mr. Cough- Iin. At the three mile post Mr. Coughlin left us and went on to Nooksack Falls. Very encouraging remarks were made by Kenneth Selby on how short the trail was and how soon.:we would get there. Note—Anyone seeing Kenneth Selby please report immedi­ately to our chief executioner. We have serious business with him. The fellow that laid out the mile 'posts must have been far sighted. We are going to revise the edition and make it sixteen miles up Skyline. The last half mile of the trail was almost straight up and thru deep snow all the way. From the top we were unable to see Mt. Baker on account of the clouds, but we had a beautiful view" of Mt. Shuksan. Gwendolyn Thomas and Austin Bond ventured half a mile further along the ridge but found nothing but more snow. Altogether about a dozen of us reached the top. Coming back we had the time of our lives sliding down the snow banks. We'll do it again, some day. The train was held for an hour, but alas, thirty weary, footsore glacier-trailers were left behind. The natives of Glacier were very sympathetic and we all agree that loggers are a kind-hearted crowd. They fed us, cheered us, and doctored us. At 10:30 we sang "Aloha," for by that time Pro­fessor Bond had procured autos enough for all. Had we lost our pep? You should have heard us! Not once were we quiet until we reached our respec­tive homes somewhere around 1:30. Oh, the day after! Such agony, that trying to move, to go up or down­stairs. Such pain! But oh, we will always remerber— and yes, it was worth every blister, every freckle, every cracked joint and every pain we gained. EDUCATIONAL SURVEY An educational survey of Belling­ham which will guide the Board of Education in Vocational training courses, is now being conducted here by George Henry Jenson of the State University. The survey is mainly industrial in character,—an investigation into the needs and prospects of particular in­dustries, fishing, lumbering etc. It is expected that the preliminary work of investigation 'will be complet­ed in about ten days.

Much interest was created by the fine-looking cedar chest in the main hall Monday. It was made by Louise McMurray of the Industrial Arts 3 Class. Marie Stryckland, who went to her home in Ferndale last Thursday, will not return this quarter. .Mr. Jennings, principal of the school at Anacortes, was a visitor at the school last week. Mr. Jennings will be a member of the faculty for the last six weeks. He will take Mr. Hunt's place in the Science Depart­ment. There will be an extension of the basketry class the rest of the sum­mer. The classes will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from ten until twelve. A limited number of students will be enrolled. Word was received by Dr. Nash that Paul Thompson had arrived at Camp Merritt from Marseilles. He expects to be starting for the west in a few days. In a letter recently received by the President from Mrs. Kathryn Nolte, who is teaching in the Fox Govern­ment School, Fox, Alaska, there was enclosed a gift of twenty dollars to the Student Loan Fund. Mrs. Nolte expresses great appreciation of the people who are responsible for found­ing the Student Loan Fund and for building it up. Her generous gift is much appreciated. Faculty Notes Mr. Phillipi, accompanied by his family, left for Seattle last week, Mr. Philippi, accompanied by his University. Dr. Nash was in Centralia last Fri­day to serve on a committee in select­ing a site for the Centralia Normal school, established by the last state Legislature. Those serving on the com­mittee were: Gov. Hart, Dr. Nash and County Commissioner R. Somer-ville of Lewis County. Miss May Mead writes that she is enjoying her course at the U. She states that she has met several Nor­mal students and they are going to "colonize" and have some good times together. Supt. Whitney, who was scheduled to be here the last six weeks, finds it necessary to go to Tacoma at once. Mrs. Mayhew will take his place. Dr. E. T. Mathes sent greetings to students in a recent letter to Dr. Nash, written from Coblenz. A paper sent out by the A. F. of Occupation was also sent, composed of stories and legends of the Rhine—recalling to our President, happy memories of his Rhine trip a few years ago. Mr. Thompson, who has had charge of the Penmanship Dept., leaves for Oregon soon; ~"In" speaking about this important event he says "It has long been our desire to live in the country in our own home. Finding a good lo­cation has been our greatest diffi­culty until we luckily found an ideal place near our old home in Oregon. We desire most of all the free out of door life on the fatrm where the child­ren will have a place to play without being in the streets. "I'm going to teach a near-by rural school next fall, and between running the little ranch, Jwith some fishin' thrown in, next year promises to be the most interesting one for us yet. I can tell my friends more about how things come out next summer. "I feel my joy would be complete if it weren't for leaving the B. S. N. S. Dr. Nash failed to show a particle of enthusiasm about our farm plans and it was hard, I assure you, for me to insist on going away from a man who has been like a father to me the last few years. But seriously—I will miss the Normal more than it will miss me, and the memory of the past four years will never be forgotten." We are sorry to lose Mr. Thompson but all wish him success "in his rural school by the farm." Miss Gragg, who is a graduate of B. S. N. S., will carry on Mr. Thompson's work. Freeman G. Chutes, who is on a leave of absence, writes from Paris. He is again in the Y. M C. A. work, placed by the International Commit­tee. He states that the work in Ger­many will probably last for six months. So he will leave the 16th of June for Berlin via Metz, Coblenz and Cologne, taking about a week to make the trip. Mr. Chute had a narrow escape from an aeroplane which crashed to the ground, wrecking the machine, but he and the pilot escaped with a few s-cratches. He sends best wishes to his friends at Normal and sincere greetings to Dr. Nash. Prof. Bond proved himself to be a very present help in time of trouble, when he chartered an auto stage for some 30 who were "left" on the Mt. Baker trip Saturday. Miss- May Mead has been elected secretary, for the coming year, of the Washington State League of Public Health Nurses. Miss Beardsley's niece, Mrs. Wilson, who has been spending a delightful time here, is leaving. Many receptions have been given in her honor. Misses Cales, Morse, Gray, Charlton and Woodard climbed to Skyline Ridge and camped there over the Fourth vacation. They had a delight­ful hike. Prof. Cole, Assistant Superintendent of Seattle schools, will give two ad­vanced courses at the Normal the last six weeks; one in Elementary School Curriculum and one in School Admin­istration. Keep Cool — Go to The PHEASANT FOR ICE CREAM- AND LIGHT LUNCHES Music and Dancing Rest Room for Ladies BASEMENT QUACKENBUSH BUILDING CORNER DOCK AND HOLLY STREETS This is, as the name suggests, a play portraying community life and spirit in a small country town.

Gossip and excitement begin when Inez arrives with the news that Miss Ellsworth has a young nephew wished en to her for support. One after an­other the neighbors arrive to discuss the situation. The only disturbing element arrives when Mr. Shusman as Ezra attempts to discover who or­dered the cord wood which has been unloaded in his front yard. It is decided that a shower should be given, and great amusement was afforded the audience by means of the planning and gathering of the articles for this young nephew. "The end of everything comes," as Miss Abel expresses it, when Miss Ellsworth arrives on the scene to say, "He ain't comin'!" Miss Inez and Peter, who enact several amusing scenes during the play express happily their approval of each other in the closing scene. Special credit should be given Miss Van Liew who in the absence of Miss Phillips took the part of Inez. • • • • b • • • • • • • NOTICE Reporters will please write on the long side of the paper, and write on one side of the pa­per only.

BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 9, 1919 No. 38 II TALKS ON RUSSIA Dr. W. D. Kirkpatrick, major in the United States Medical Corps and re­cently returned from ,Russia gave an interesting flpcture on the Russian people ajt Monday's assembly. Dr. Kirkpatrick has seen service in Ser­bia, Roumania, Russia and practically all of the far eastern theatre of the war. He took up especially the peas­ant class and told vividly their habits and peculiarities. It was a fortunate and rare oppor­tunity for us to hear Dr. Kirkpatrick's ' wonderful descriptions of the people whose customs-we have so little chance of learning. A few extracts from his speech fol­low: . . . ). . - "In North Russia the people live along the waterways and in any description of village life it seems proper to begin with a few words on the rivers of Russia which have been from remote antiquity the great channels of trade and migration They flow with a gentle gradient and many large tributaries' collect the water, from vast areas of low country. Boats could be conveyed over easy portages from one river basin to another and these portages have been during past centuries gradu­ally changed by a relatively small amount of labor into navigable canals. "The great Dwina river which empties into the White Sea at the head of the gulf of Archangel is formed by the union of the Yeg and the Sukhens and this last is connected by canals with waterways flowing west into the Bal­tic and by still other canals with branch­es of- the Volga allowing boat passage south and east even into the distant . Caspian Sea. Fish abound in the Dwina and its branches and furnish much of the food of the people along its banks, and the extensive forests of north Russia which are* mostly of spruce and pine, the trees of which seldom attain a size of more than a couple of feet in trunk diameter, give the house timber and fuel in plenty. There are three features of national custom of the Russian peasant that are particularly marked—the wooden house, the oven, the bath. The houses follow one plan of construction, are two stories in height, built of squared logs and with partitions of logs. The front of the building is used for living 'pur­poses and the back, separated by log (Continued on page two) ALL ABOARD, WHOOPEE! D Next Saturday, July 11, the entire school will depart from its abode of dignified learning and excurse to Gla­cier, in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. Step up, ladies and gentle­men, and get your tickets. Then some dry, petrified mummy asks, "What's the use of spending a dollar and a half just to travel over a bumpy little country railroad and visit some hot old burgh up in the foot­hills?" "What is the use," you say. Listen. Glacier isn't a city. No, it isn't a town. Its not a village either. It is mostly a name for one end of the Bell-ingham and Northern Railroad, witjh ust enough stores to supply the de­mand for ice-cream cones. If you are going to visit Glacier, bring along some book to read. Glacier is the nearest town to Mt. Baker, considered by all who have been on it one of the most beauti­ful mountains in America. For five thousand feet Mt. Baker raises its aged head above the topmost tree. Those of you who are good walkers can get to Heliotrope Ridge, half way up the moun­tain, and on the brink of the largest Glacier in th'e United States. Only those who are good hikers should tackle it, tho. But Glacier is more noted for its shorter scenic trips. There is Lookout Mt., where you can get as good a view of Mt. Baker as may be had. There is Skyline Ridge; rather a long hike but one of the most beautiful. Church Mt. has always proved a favorite with short-winded sight seers, altho it is by no means an easy climb. The trail is four and a half miles long and rises some six thousand feet. St)eep? Oh no, worse than that. A very good view of Mt. Baker and all the surrounding country may be obtained. However, if you 'do not! care for limbing you may wander up the Nook-sack River to Excelsior and the Nook-sack Falls. Very little is ever said about the Nooksack Falls for very few people ever go there, but some day it will be one of the best known spots in Washington. The scenery along the river is almost unsurpassable and the torrent of water pouring thru the gorge reminds one of the good old days of Noah. It is from these falls that Bell-ingham, as indeed, all Whatcom County, eceives its electric light supply. There are a , hundred other placejs to attract the picnicer. Beautiful little (Continued on page" 3)" TO SOMETIME THIS WEEK Klipsun, the school annual put out by he seniors will be ready or distribution this week. The delay in getting the nnual out was due to the Western En-raving Company's not having the en­gravings ready. This year's Klipsun is in many ways, a distinct departure from ;the tradi­tional book. Many new features have been added, and no detail which would help make the book more effective and nteresting, has been neglected. Klipsun this year has quite distinctly a person­ality of its own. Marked originality" is the notable feature of the book, which not only fulfills the standards of the past but rixises them as each new Klipsun should. The Normal may well feel proud of the '19 Klipsun, and the Seniors are to be congratulated. Some of the features deserving' of special mention are the very fine en­gravings and the page border. Each page has a border in blue in which the name "Klipsun" has been very artis-ically incorporated. The fcffective cover design is by Gtrtrude Hodgson. A -space in the back has been ar-onged for snap shots and signatures. The book has been dedicated to Dr. Nash. Nona Richardson, acting editor-in-chief, who took the place of Margaret McNaughton, is deserving of - special mention for her faithful work in helping put the Klipsun out. Harry Sorenson s business manager has worked very hard to help make the book the success it is. The other members of the com­mittee, who have contributed their • best efforts in getting out the book are: Mary Jewett, Augusta Stockton, Ruth Schwartz, J. F. Neiswender and Fin " Owen. There will be a few copies avail-ble for summer school students. 'GRE'EN STOCKINGS' TO BE TOMORROW NIGHT Tomorrow night in the Auditorium the Thespian Club will present "Green Stockings." which was the Senior play, and which has been revived with a partially new cast for . tomorrow's per-ormance. The production is in .the hands of Mr. Hoppe, of the Expression Depart­ment, and he is also to play the prin­cipal male role in the play—that of Col. John Smith. It is expected that the entire student body will attend t^her' performance. E. GAUL TELLS OF Wednesday morning, in "Dr. Nash's lass" we were delightfully entertained by Mr. James E. Gaul, of Bellihgham, who told of some of his adventures in he "Land of Romance," South America. Fe began by saying he' fell 'P:e the Iishman who. fell down three . gt;,- four stories—"not dead, but speechless." The tory opened .with the leaving of the steamer, amid mingled sounds of mu-ic from the ship's band, calling of the ship's officers and the shouts, of the passengers and the people on the pier TTe went on to describe very sjr'ph i^lly the effect of the rougher water. a- gt; thev passed out on tti? broad At­lantic upon those of the passengers who i'ere "poor sailors." T-Ti? attributed the difference in de-elopment of North and South America to the difference in aim of the pioneers vho settled the two continents. North America was settled by the Anglo-Saxon race—men of vision who ame to make homes. The men who ame to South America were adventur-rs in search of gold and whose main urpose was to exploit the land. The ncas, whose civilization was an ideal ommunistic proposition, doing away with all originality and initiative, fell before the strong invader as all people with, such a civilization must.

The Russian excels in such building because from earliest times he has been a hewer of wood and taught to use the axe well, so his handiwork is good, and the top log hollowed on its under side fits nicely upon the round of the log beneath, and the ends strongly dove­tail with those of the side wall and partition logs. Inside of each room the walls meet each other in tmootjhly roimded instead of sharp corners, with joints so finely made that a knife blade may not be easily inserted Moss is caulked tightly into each crevice of the ovtside of the structure a provision against the searching cold of winter, and the whole is widely roofed with s-nall split-out boards'. The entrance i-r gt; tV house is always from the side and up several steps, and the doorway has a high threshold, while the top is . so low that one stoops in entering. The window openings are well closed with double windows of small paned "'ass. Paint is not used upon these fire chjwnbqr, the floor of which is continuous with the ledge. On top. of the stoA'e there is a flat space for sleep­ing purposes and on this the old people or the sick of the family lie during the winter months. In every village one finds the log bath house. It has a small entrance room, a dressing room of closet like fcize, and the bath chamber. Within this is a big brick stove such as has been described, ' 3 or 4 shelves, wide and strong, built in step fashion along one side of the room, a low bench whereon are basins of water and two wooden tubs, one for cold and one for hot water. The big oven contains a pile of great round stones arranged so the fire, may be built about them. to thoroughly heat them. Now on the day of the bath a fire is kindled in the stove, water is brought from the river ( and the tubs are filled. After several j hours the fire has burned out leaving the stones almost red hot. The familv may now begin its bath—the men to­gether, and the women after them. En­tering the larger room they scrub their bodies with coarse brushes made of the branches of a small bush tied together, and hot water.

The bathers now climb upon the shelves, lie down »t fu:ll length and perspire freely. The bath is always taken by the Russian peasants before the (more important! holidays, and many of them bathe once a week. Travel between villages in the sum­mer time, is by boat in the good old ancient way, for the one road which runs near the river is uncared for and •nearly impassible because of mud and marsh, but when winter comes the grad­ual fall of snow after the first freezing weather makes these into ideal sled­ding roads. The peasants of Russia arei in a state of arrested development morally and intellectually, andi the backward­ness of the space of many generations separate thein as a class from' the mass of the native people of America. Physically there has been a survival of the fittest among them so that the average man and woman is strong arid robust. The death rate is high among •the children for fifty percent die be­fore they reach the end of the first year, and seventy percent die under five years of age, so that only three or less of every ten born arrive to ma­turity. Thus strong bodied adults are fn evidence. But living generation after genera­tion in widely separated villages under conditions of poverty and monotony, the type of the people has been nar­rowed to their peculiar localities and a. pitiless autocratic government \as limited their intellectual vision by will­fully withholding educational . aid.

Lima, the" capital of Peru is reached by boarding an American tjaan and; passing thru a country very similar to Southern California. Many romances are told about this country. One- of the most interesting of these reads like a fairy tale. The chief of the Incas, captured by Pizarro, promised, in return for his freedom, to fill a room with gold. The chief was executed on a trumped-up charge before the last treasure train reached Pizarro. •No one knows wha\t became of the (treasure it carrited, but many stoies iare told of attempts to find it. Mining is the chief industry of Peru. ;Their methods are primitive. The one 5s transported on burros and mules. An lAmei-iean corporation owns and operates !the largest mine. This mine is situated km a mountain 6000 feet higher than Mt.. Baker,, on the Central Railway. A fa-ip on this railroad is very much worth "while. The scenery among the mountains is wonderful.

When such as the Daughters of the American Revolution, the M i n u te JVZomen, Americanization Committees, etc., not especially trained teachers in nany instances, volunteer in this Na­tional task, students of the State Nor­mals can scarcely afford to overlook their opportunities when "training the young twig," nor neglect the advantage ''teacher" has in her entree into even, the humblest home.

SING-SING! The query has come up, "Why do not we of the Bellingham Normal sing over our school song or songs?" There is no question but that it should be "songs." With the number of people in our institution our voices should rise strong and buoyantly in a number of ringing, vim-inspiring school songs that shall blend us together and attune us with real live spirit and enthusiasm that shall be carried to whatever com munity we may be in later. It is well 'to surmise that we have among our students, from the varied climes and regions, pei-soris with just the poetic talent that can give to us fitting verses to express our school sen­timent. Genius frequently slumbers un­heeded until it is called forth by an incentive that can stir and rouse it into action. Why not promote an incentive? Would it not be profitable that the music department offer a contest with a vital interest, providing a pecuniary recompense for the words found most estimable? With the' original words set to origin­al music or adapted, let it be sung until all know it without referring to the "Blue Book"; sung until it represents an ideal of B. S. N. .S. spirit and sung wherever students may assembly, in | o f the period? If • it can wait, respect TALKING IN ASSEMBLY Without exception, one of the most; annoying things which occurs in assem­bly, both for the speaker and for those who are listening, is a constant buzz of conversation. Yet in spite of the many appeals which our President has made for snence during the assembly period, many people persist in talking through­out J:he hour. Of course we know, Gertrude's new beau is absolutely the limit, or that he buys perfectly wonderful candy or that the house mother simply "raved" when you didn't get in till half-past twelve las I evening, but how could you help it, when Jack's car broke down fifty miles from nowhere, and so forth, until every; one who sits near you wishes that Jack's car had broken down seven hun­dred miles away and hadn't been able to get back in time for that assembly hour, at least. The assembly programs are planned for something bigger and better than the ordinary routine and trivial affairs, of our school life. The very best music, lect'.res, and readings that can be se­cured are brought before us, and many, indeed most of those who attend wish to get the most out of these bigger things. Yet how can we get' anything out of a lecture or reading, if someone near us talks so constantly and so loudly that we can hear only about one word out of three? Students, stop and think, the next time' you go to assembly. Is what you have to say to your neighbor absolutely necessary, or can it wait till the end OPPORTUNITY "Opportunity knocks but once," and on July 12, the Student Body is plan­ning the biggest event of the season, a trip to Mt. Baker; a wonderful op­portunity to visit th,e most beautiful and majestic peak of our Mountains at only a small fraction of the cost such a trip would ordinarily entail. The Normal School is constantly giv^ ing the student body opportunities which they will probably never again have; opportunities of visiting and en­joying some of the nearby spots which are famous for their natural beauty and for whfich people travel hundreds of miles to enjoy. Why not seize these opportunities as they are presented? Visit some of these wonderful spots which nature intended for us to enjoy; get acquainted with your fellow students, an opportunity you have for a short time only; create a student-atmosphere which will make the days spent while acquiring profes­sional knowledge among the happiest and most worth-while of your career; build up a wholesome love for that which is natural and beautiful; and above all, acquire the habit early in life of taking advantage of opportunities as they are presented. , —H. P. / THE BEST PLACE TO DRUGS OWL PHARMACY BUY AN ADMIRABLE PIECE OF WORK Now that the 1919 Klipsun is a reality instead of a promise, it is appropriate to speak of a bit of unselfish labor on the part of a student—labor which was given voluntarily and without hope of reward. For the past six weeks Miss Nona B. Richardson has strugled over the task of organizing and proof-reading the Klipsun copy. It is a job which calls for the utmost patience and the most painstaking attention to detail. It is, furthermore, relatively without ap­plause. It is labor without the. stimulus of the gallery. Miss Richardson took up the editor's work at the end of the regular spring quater, and has brought order out of chaos. With the helpful advice of Miss Edens, she has made the Klipsun a literary success. This is an example of the highest kind of loyalty to school, and devotion to effective principles of work.

THE BEST EATS AT THE NICEST PLACE FOR THE LEAST MONEY Leopold Grill' ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1919 July 9 - Page 5 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER; WEDNESDAY; JULY 9, I9i9 B. H. S. CLUB! I This is a recently organized: club and we are sure it will prove to be one of "the big successes" of the season. We intend to htive such good times for the remaining part of the summer that all the students of the Normal will wish that at one time they had gone to either the Whatcom or Fairhayen High. As yet we have done nothing but elect officers and frame a constitution but if you watch the "Club News" you will fioon find that we are on earth. \ PHILOS The Philos encouraged themselves t) hold their second fortnightly picnic at Agate Beach;.,Lake Whatcom., As; the choice bit of shore line was located two miles or more up the lake, the party conveyed itself thence in row-boats. It might be well to give a short, tho con­cise account of this eventful journey. There were three chartered row boats slowly navigating over the pellucid sheet, due to the lazy efforts of the men-at-arms. The leading scow Was captained by the peace loving Herbert Potter, who under the free:(?) tutelage of Elwyn Bugge wielded the oars with proficient laxity. Three other girls were in, the boat, hindering its speed some­what. ..The two other boats dribbled along.at the rear. One was in charge of the trouble-hunting Harry Sorenson and the obstreperous Vernon Broadbent. There were about eight; suffering Philos in this craft. . gt; Washing along in the rear floated another aggregation propelled by Ken­neth Selby and the rest of the girls. Kenneth was the one working the oars. As Kenneth and Vernon are enemies to • t h e better end considerable rivalry was evinced between the two boats, as the fair crews stood up for their' cap- f tains. The trouble was, they did so literally. After volleys of hot biting (Words steamed across the narrowing space between the two boats, a fresh "water naval battle between ,the oppos­ing factions ensued. The implements of warfare were the oars and the ammu­nition, fresh, - wet lake water. It is hard to describe this battle which raged so fiercely for lt; nearly a minute and a half. The air was dense with upturned water: John Settles stood up in the middle of the boat and tried to swim. Realizing that he had never learned how, he sank to his seat. The aquatic "wax absolutely -, closed when the con-jtestants observed Elwyn Bugge standing up in his boat taking pictures, ox the awful spectacle. The side Vernon Broad-bent was on won the battle. He said so, emphatically and repeatedly. The water. soaked party ,. finally reached shore and built a fire to dry out by. Incidentally a supper of weenies and buns, coffee and pickles was pre­pared by the willing hands of the hun­griest ones. "'.'••• Rc-swell Oliver drifted along, adding two more to the party. Sponsor Phillipi hove up, adding three more to the crowd. After the canines were done away with and the clothes dried and certain adventuresome spirits ventured out in the boats again. The scribe guided the party to a certain point along the shore where an immense boulder formed a miniature island. The sides of the rock were inaccessible to people who were possessed of , common sense, so some of the youths 'ventured to climb it, contrary to the :caution of Mr. Phillipi. They succeeded, and then spent an hour trying to get down again. This they did after severe wear and tear on their rousers. The moonlight trip home was' as delightful and romantic as all such trips are heard to be—and well worthy of the Philos. KEMPHAUS lt; CO.

X Y Z—Normal. MUSIC AND BEAUTY To appreciate music one must be in the proper mood, proper environment and health. If . one is hurried o wor­ried he cannot enjoy music to the fullest extent. One must sink his individual­ity, his connection with the busy world for the time being, become calm and carefree. Music, to have full charms must have a proper setting. Who enjoys music in an unideal, sordid surrounding? Or when it is partially lost in a confusing noise? Sow: sweet music sounds over he water, in a wild wood setting or in beautiful spacious theatre. We must ever associate beauty with music. Did you ever wonder at the superb physique of all great singers and most musicians. Is it due to the harmoni­ous mind or is the marmonious mind dependent upon the physique? Tho music is said to aid digestion, who, suffering with indigestioon can appre­ciate music? One suffering from .nervous (ijisori der can rarely enjoy music. When we are happy we express it thru singing, whistling, or dancing, or other forms of harmonious expression— we do not sing when sad or depressed. One must be able to forget the phys­ical to be inspired by music, for mu­sic is of the spirit. It has been said that the violin is music's innermost heart and that its spirit is older than man, "For it fled somewhere thru sky spaces before it came to its earthly incarnation. Sometimes when it is with a friend it sings of its lost splen­dor among the stars." "—M.. B.

BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON,WEDNESDAY, JULY 2, 1919 No. 37 LL At the regular assembly hour Wednes­day, the student body heard Carl F. Gould, a Seattle architect, give an il­lustrated lecture on Modern Architec­ture. Mr. Gould said that up to the present time, people have been too much concerned with that which goes on within the home, giving too little thought to making the home attractive. Home art has never been taught as a definite subject. The subject of home building has come under a se­vere and detailed study during the war times. The English government dis­covered during the recent war that the best results could only be attained by giving the individuals the best homes. There is too much •'•'economic waste" in elaborately built homes. Professor Gould then showed slides illustrating the historic survey of the house. First the cave dweller, second the home of the Indians; tents because their wants made it necessary for them to migrate from one place to another; third the tree dwellers, who built homes to get away from the ants, and lastly, the Pompeian house, built with a garden in the center. Next we were shown, slides of the .Dutch homes and shown how our homes today are on the same plan. Houses must be built according to conditions under which we live. They should be built in such a way that ten or even fifty years from now they have the same A'alue as today. We must build homes for economy; and build homes to be occupied by us per­manently rather than for a temporary home. In the course of his lecture Mr. Gould sho,wed several house plans. He said (Continued on page two) Mount Baker Purple, mauve, a violet haze, a splash of fine spun gold, A charging cloud 'cross an opal sky. like an heavenly warrior bold A fringe of green in the shimmering sheen, a glare of silvered sun, A sigh of breeze 'mong the sentinel trees, the work of God well done. A mountain rears its wonderful height like a crown on Nature's brow A towering mountain clothed in white as pure as an angel's vow, A circle of hills, a stretch of land, a sweep of an inland sea The mountain enthroned on the roof of the world beckons to you and to me. The sun beats down on its silver crown, the waters softly creep, There are stars, a moon, the nights' soft croon, the world has gone to sleep. GUY MANNERS, LOCAL CADETS HELP CALENDAR • Thursday.

Sunnel. Cora Densmore, Ethel McKinnon. Florence Bixby, Mildred Farington, Pauline Born-stein. The purpose of this play-ground is to teach the children the right kind of play and also to render first aid in case of accident on the play-ground. To further this phase of the work first aid kits have been placed in both parks. The time is spent with telling stones (Continued on page two) The musical program offered Mon­day. June 30, proved very interesting to the students. The first number on the program was a song by little Jane •Kindall, who was accompanied by Josephine Kindall. The two are pupils of Miss Ethel Gardner. Miss Marion Ells, a talented young violinist, played four selections. She was accompanied by Miss Gardner. Dr. Nash then reminded us of a few important dates that we all should remember. He also announced the names of some of the future speakers of our Assemblies. The reading of Longfellow's ''King Robert of Sicily," by Miss Bagstad, was a fitting close to the assembly. TO "S CALL Have you heard the call Students one and all To climb and stroll And see the sun's charm On the mountain's bowl? Have you ever visited a whole day with Nature? Did 3rou ever spend a day with mountains, the great judges of human endeavor, and feel their greatness enshroud you? One of the most enchanting homes of nature is in the vicinity of Mount Baker and family. Glacier, a nestling, in the foot hills is the guard. Any one with a smile or a benevolent look toward the height of glory (Mt. Bak­er) can pass through this little city to the winding trails which give them access to the arms of Nature. Traversing these canyon bordered, and creek wreathed trails, one can see in the distance the great family of mountains. Skyline Ridge, which marks the medium between earth and sky; Church mountain, with its head six thousand feet above the sea level in­spires one to climb. Excelsior beckons for all to come and rest at its feet in perfect peace. Barometer and Shuksan are moun­tains reminding you that the elements cf Nature are cooled by them. Here may be seen snow and glaciers that radiate the colors of the sun. Two mountains, Herman and Ruth, attract our attention. The former be­cause of his altitude and suggestive power. The latter gets her name from a meek beautiful woman who desired to be like a mountain. The protector of these mountains is Mount Baker, whose head towers a,bove them all, and is as a magnet among needles. It has been made possible for the student body to spend the day in the vicinity of these mountains July 12th. The plan is to leave the station at 7 a. m, reaching Glacier at 8:30 a. m. The students, who have previously visited in Baker vicinity, will act as guides. At mid-day the students will enjoy a lunch that they have each, or in parties, provided for the occasion. Many cameras will be snapping some beautiful spot, with a friend in the background. After a day spent climbing Nature's mountains or resting by her creeks and in her canyons the Nature lovers will find their way back to Glacier. The party will leave Glacier at 7 p. m. for Bellingham, there to dream over their good time with the Baker family. Get your ticket from the Registrar. —E. L.

GOULD LECTURES ON HOMES (Continued from page one) that these were difficult sometimes to understand because we are not taught to visualize. He said, too, that the small house problem is the greatest problem in borne building. He related his subject to the pres­ent time by the following summary: "One of tJhQ gxieat'impulses—oiytcome of the war—seems to be the desire of home ownership. The Government of England, France and tire United States are noAv grappling with the problem of how best to assist in this great homebuilding era that is about to become a reality. The Department of Labor is now working out a method of financing those desiring to build. a method in the nature of the farm loans. Preceding any great movement there must be a desire of accomplish­ment and today the most universal desire, the subject most talked about in the press and in conversation is home ownership. In spite, of economic difficulties which momentarily seem to stifle the actual accomplishment, I feel confident ways will be found to offset the high costs of construction and that within a few years the world Avill see one of the largest output of individual homes ever produced in the history of the world. The Government will go into partnership with the home owner for there is no more certain co­partner than he. The nation which procures in the next ten years the greatest number of intelligent home owners is the nation that will lead the woi'ldl in industry, stability and we hojje spirituality. The transient worker with his family in a flat, and the movies his diversion, land tine alien from picturesque Europe in our cheap, ugly slums can be made a patriotic and contented citizen more easily if he has a home and acre of his own. "The Goveirnmientj realized this in the war. We have evidence of home communities in the past as evidence and it is one of the most apparent truths of human naturje—the family unit stabilized in the right habitation fundamentally gives the most certain assurance of human stability and hap­piness."

COUNTRYMAN Dry Goods 1316 Bay Street ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1919 July 2 - Page 3 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, WEDNESDAY, JULY 2, 1919 3 Organizations Philos The first social gathering of the summer school Philomatheans oc­curred on the shore of Lake Padden Friday evening, June 20. To say that all present enjoyed themselves- would be stating the fact too mildly. Patient readers allow me to recount some funny things that happened that even­ing: To begin with those members of the harrassed sex Vernon Broadbent, Roswell Oliver and ye humble scribe, Elwyn Bugge, went out ahead of time and very patiently constructed a- fire preparatory to a salmon bake. This dene they spent the rest of the af­ternoon waiting for the salmon to show up. The coveted fish finally arrived, accompanied by Misses Irma Brown and Dorothy Goodchild. Ken­neth Selby appeared from somewhere in line to help stow the poor fish away in a bed of hot coals. Vernon, suddenly remembering that he had forgotten his portable checker board, suddenly let out a wail of dis­tress. He was quieted when someone gave him a tennis ball to look at. The rest of the company arrived and the business of eating was soon under way. It was astonishing how quick the salmon lasted. The poor fish, he couldn't help himself. During the course of the meal someone upset consternation. After supper boats were secured and starlight romanticisms were indulged in to the accompaniment of dainty fingers trilling thru the unruffled water. Broken lenses dup­licated accurately, and all r e p a i rs m a d e promptly. WOLL, Optometrist and Optician, 205 West Holly Street. LIBERTY Ye humble scribe caused intense amusement by trying to ride a horse, the first one he ever mounted. While in the midst of the venture the horse ran a race with a Ford and came put winner after a mile or so of fast trav­elling. His rider had nothing at all to say about the matter. He gently persuaded the horse to take him back to camp. The festivities broke up late in the evening and each and every Philo patted him or herself on the back for being a member of one of the happi­est wide-awake clubs in school. There is no danger of Mr. Phillipi growing old. He is an Al Philo and will always remain so. He is the club's sponsor and in every way the most active member enrolled.

CLARKE COUNTY CLUB Thirteen •"lucky" meunbers of the Clarke County Club hiked to Inspira­tion Point, Friday, afternoon, where; they enjoyed supper around the camp-fire. Kevcr again will anyone dare say. 13 is an unlucky number. To be sure, all the coffee was spilled, but what did that matter when the creek was aft hand, and' there was more coffee ? After beiing duly "inspired," ia-U went homeward bound. 2vot a few proved themselves good markswomen, for they could hit a mark at a distance of ten feet from them. Surely, these people will make their '•'mark" in the world! All decided that the evening was pleasantly spent, and although there were not so many present, still it is "quality," not "quantity" that counts. SAGEBRUSH CLUB HAS PICNIC Last Friday evening sixty Sagebrush-ers spent a very enjoyable evening at Mi-. Bissel's home on Lake Whatcom. The party left town on the five-thirty car, carrying coffee cans and large grub boxes. While on the car, the Jazz band, assisted by the club's most noted singers, rendered a har­monious concert. On the Marguerite, everybody proceeded to get acquainted with everybody else. The trip on the Lake was delightful. When we arrived at Mr. Bissel's home, we found a camp fire already burning, so the eats com­mittee at ancei fried the bacon and made the coffee. Soon sixty hungry Sagebrushers were enjoying a regular camp "feed." After supper we listened to the pro­gram 2J1'ePared D.Y 'the- Entertainment committee. The entertainment was given in the open air theatre, using the cottage veranda as stage. The IT'S QUALITY THAT COUNTS in this world Candies and Ice Cream Stand for That 119 E.

If you haven't, visit the dictionary,, take a look at yourself and take stock of your list of acquaintances in the Normal school. You can't do it too quickly, for four weeks of val­uable opportunity is past. Doubtless that adjective could not be applied to you in your home town or circle. You couldn't be disinterested among friends. There wasn't room. But how many people have you passed repeatedly on the campus without greeting because you were too tired, lazy, preoccupied or shy to make an advance. It may be that the person you've been riding behind on the street car for days has been teaching in the section where you used to teach. You might find it of interest to know that the girl sitting next you in class is a gifted pianist or belongs to the same church as you. These facts may not be revealed by the cut of her blouse or the style of her rings. If you aire placed in dose proximity wit|h any person more than once you are losing a good opportunity to add an interest­ing incident to your day if you fail to become acquainted. Nearly everyone who has spunk enough to leave home and come to Summer School is inter­esting to know. Appearances deceive. You may have felt that an advance would be presumption. You will be surprised some day to discover that the one about whom you have built a hedge of unapproachableness is more gradious (than formidable—yes, even eager for the acquaintance. on't wait for a mixer to force the first friendly words. If the association of the few in a class doesn't arouse you surely association with hundreds won't do it. True, there are clubs and societies. But they would lose their value in the school if they expanded to take in the whole school. They must sift for members. If you want to be wheat prove it. Don't wait for society pledge committees to discover your worth, for we all look much alike. Some public spirited students have felt the need of a more intimate asso­ciation than that of the halls, campus and class rooms, for those not includ­ed in the established clubs. So they haA'e started a movement to organize a club for ''Odds and Ends." They be­lieve that the work of the organiza­tion, and the planning for good times will promote camaraderie among the students who are unacquainted. If the appelation "shy," '"diffident" or •'•'unbending" applies to you, go to the next meeting of this club: swallow your scare or indifference and rise to your feet and nominate for office some one whom you know only by name. Then he will suggest your name for a committee, and they'll put you to work. You will immediately be more of a person of importance with yourself. Next winter when you meet that B. S. X. S. graduate, down in the south­ern part of the state, you will be able to talk of people and affairs with real familiarity and affection for good old B. S. N. S.—the livest, most hos­pitable school in the state. —G. W. J. OUR SEMI-ANNUAL CLEARANCE SALE BRINGS MANY REMARKABLE VALUES out going downstairs. In the dining room, each table seems like a family group, and while ••Father" serves "Hot or cold?" and '"Mother" pours tea, the news goes round the board that 'Priscilla had three letters from Germany, yesterday," or "Peggy swam all the way across (the tank without stopping" or Jane Ellen moves that "this gastronomic convention ad­journ." And when we forget our man­ners, a gentle reproof from "Auntie" restores order. Who can say that Bellingham Normal is not democratic! —M. E. P. BELLINGHAM SPIRIT A much lauded characteristic of the Bellingham Normal is its spirit of dem­ocracy. This favorable criticism is not confined to Whatcom County but is heard wherever the school is mentioned. The building itself, with its numer­ous windows and doorways has an air of friendliness and goodfell'.owship that inspires the newcomer with confi­dence of success. The kindly, sympathetic manner of the programming committees banishes all doubts that may beset a new stu­dent and he enters upon his classes with vim and a determination to achieve. This attitude is further strengthened by each and every mem­ber of the faculty he may come in con­tact Avith, for the aim of every teacher seems to be one of encouragement and helpfulness. The "old" students are not to be out­done for they cheerfully grant any in­formation desired of them, whether it be the way to the tennis courts or how to get from Room 305 to 313 with- A CHEERFUL VEIN "It's easy enough to be pleasant, when life goes along with a song, But the one worth while, is the one who can smile, when everything goes dead wrong." How about it? Just why are Ave here on earth doing our bit, Of course things do not go just as we Avould like,—they seldom do—but why be so self-centered as to mope about it? Does it help the other fellow any? Does it put you on speaking terms Avith yourself? Can Ave as teachers, Avho have the opportunity of meeting and mingling Avith so many people, of different types, dispositions, and am­bitions, afford to be self centered for a moment? "No!" I hear the emphatic reply. Well, then let's be up and do­ing— and above all things come up smiling. Why even tho Ave are at Summer School when we might be taking a vacation elsewhere, Ave must not forget for a moment we are hu­man— if Ave have a lesson to get, a thesis to Avrite, or eATen an editorial do it—but smile, don't let any one ever get the impression that Ave are here just for that extra credit, or be­cause Ave need that special course in education that is offered—make that secondary—the thing to do every day and every hour of the day is to create an atmosphere of good cheer.

We have been working on the peren­nial and annual borders. In the per­ennial border are: Alyssum, wall flow­ers, oriental poppies, columbines, can­terbury bells, snap dragons lupines, hol­lyhocks and Iceland poppies. Our first trip to this was to weed and cultivate. About two weeks later, we noticed that many blossoms were going to seed and we went out and picked off the seeds, leaving a few, which we marked for seed study. After a few days Ave went out again to cut off the dry, dead leaves of the pop­pies. The canterbury bells were fail­ing over, and we tied them up. By doing this, the spittle bug is easily washed off witli the hose. We noticed the columbine infested with an insect that lives in between the layers of the leaf. The only thing to do in this case is to cut off the in­fected part and burn it. At the annual border, we first measured the plot, then made a draw­ing of it on squared paper, locating each shrub and bush. The second les­son was a lesson on transplanting, and Ave transplanted hollyhocks lupines stalks, mignonette, verbenas a n d godetia. At the pansy bed Ave learned the correct Avay to pick pansies. In picking them, pick off all the blossoms and all the seeds if thee are any, leaving the blossoms on until they go to seed takes the strength from the blosoms, Avhich leaves it small. The vegetable garden, AA'hich Avas planted by the spring class, Avas culti- A-ated in one lesson. The soil in this plot is very poor and the vegetables are not making quite as good a SIIOAV-ing as they might. Gage- Dodson Co.

In our field lessons Ave have learned a key by Avhich to classify the trees on the campus. We have named and studied the native trees and with Miss Baker's assistance are learning about the imported trees. Along with this, special attention has been given to the leaves and the seeds. On our field trip to Lake Samish tAvo Aveeks ago, AVC classified many trees and a few ferns. We also found various kinds of bugs and insects. The Avork you see on the campus is but a small part of our Avork. There is much to be done along other lines in the class room. There has been a rumor about school lately that the poppies in the perennial border Avere planted in memory of our dead.

GUY MANNERS VISITS US AND READS VERSE One of the most interesting assem­blies of the term occurred last Friday morning Avhen Guy Manners addressed us. Altho we had been disappoined in his coming before, our Avaiting Avas com­pletely recompensed by his unique en­tertainment at this time. The topic of his lecture had been announced as •'•Educational Current EA-ents," but Mr. Manners in his charac­teristic informal Avay alloAved us to choose between this and some of his own readings. The latter AVIS inunedi-ately chosen. In compliance Avith our Avish, Mr. Manners read ten of his inspiring com­positions. They Avere his "Impression of Mt. Baker," '"'Common Things," "His Last Letter Home," "Hello-Land", "Can We Ever1' Forget'?" "Demobilization-," "The Skeleton" and others unnamed. Mr. Manners has Avritten some ter­ribly impressive articles on phases of the Great War,' "His Last Letter Home," and "The Skeleton" being perhaps those which stand out the most. At the close of his readings, Mr. Manners entreats us not to criticize the efforts of our government at this time,- but to stand ready to help. The most stirring not« of his taflk Avas sounded Avhen he proclaimed that he was British by birth, but American by thot and choice. The enthusiastic audience demanded an encore and Avere read, "'Rendezvous Avith Peace." We are truly grateful to Mr. Man­ners for his A-isit to us and hope that Ave may again in the near future be alloAved the extreme priA-ilege of a sim­ilar pleasure. " Mention the Messenger.'

However, after numerous meetings and ardent appeals to the weather man, Mr. Nobles was finally successful in securing a clear sky, and at three o'clock the party joyfully ombarlked, hoisted sail, and started for unknown shores. After sailing for several hours the happy group landed on a sandy shore and the question of the buns and the weinies was speedily settled. The return trip was made by way of many beautiful inlets ana coves, and upon arriving home the party voted this the most delightful trip of the summer season. The fortunate twenty were Miss Woodard.

Her gay times consisted of short cake, chicken, strawberries, cherries, rasp-i berries and other dainties too cruel to mention. Regina McCabe and "Peter" Foster also enjoyed the same menu at the Olseu farm near Ferndale. It's still a debatable question whether Lynden or Ferndale! furnished /the best '"eats."

Helen, Lemley, Emma Zehle, and Clara Barbezat, all enjoyed community din­ners Sunday. Frances Willard went. to her home at Sedro-Woolley, so Kathryn March is living the life of a bachelor for a few days. Note: Why do the Cedar hall girls pay so much attention to eats ? Ans.

Hazel and Gladys West spent the week end with relatives near Everson, and report a glorious time. The members of our household have been startled a number of times by several of the girls making queer per­formances. Investigatioon has shown that these said girls are members of the Shakespeare class and have become so enthusiastic over Hamlet and Ophelia that they even imagine them­selves to be [those cha/racters. We were worried for fear some of them might go so far as to meet the same fatal end as Shakespeare's characters. However, everything his quieted down since the class began studying Othello, so we believe the danger is over. 1200 Indian St. Notes Esther Pinckney had as her week­end guests her sister Alice Pinckney Helen Cameron and Vera White all of Blaine. Florence Dinkle spent the week-end at her home near Harmony. Grace Coburn has decided that we are a too frisky crowd for her studious nature to enjoy so'she has gone to re­side with Mrs. Baxtrom, where she may study in peace.

Herre, head of the Depart­ment of Biology, returned from Pasa­dena. California, where he attended the meeting of the western division of the American Association for the Advance­ment of Science. The meetings were held con-jointly with those of a large number of scientific societies, and at a session of one of these—the Western Society of Naturalists,—Dr. Herre pre­sented a paper on the lichens of South­ern Alaska, and discussed the relation of lichens to Mendelion inheritance. parly Saturday afternoon to Ln'mmi Is­land. Left about 4 o'clock, had a lovely cruise, a splendid lunch, and a lovely sail home, arriving at a reasonable hour. STUDENT-DEBATES IN CIVICS CLASS Representatives of every phase of scientific activity in the west were present, and a considerable part of the program was devoted to a considera­tion of the means to make scientific men as effective in the reconstruction activities of peace, as they were in bringing the war to a successful con­clusion. War was looked upon as a scientific monstrosity as it only destroys and does not create, while science is constructive;. "Society should, there­fore, not only utilize the vast resources of science, but should also place sci­entific men in charge of the work of meeting societies problems'."' While in California. Dr. Herre visited the High School at San Jose, which has 1940 students this year. He also had a conference with Dr. E. C. Moore, president of the State Normal at Los Angeles, relative to certain phases of Normal school work. Dr. Herre re­ports that "It was a very pleasant and Mjss Exean Wbodard addrest the Bellingham District Epworth League Convention last Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The topic of her address was (;New Social Service." Miss Langley of the Home Economics Department gave a lecture on Textiles to the Salesmanship Class at Wahl's Store last Tuesday morning at S-.30. Miss Langley says that she never be­fore addrest a class that was as en­thusiastic as t'Jie one at the store. She adds that aside from being instruc­tive, it also formed a connecting link between the Normal and the towns people. Miss Langley also visited the Uni­versity Friday inspecting the Home Economics Department and the large cafeteria, "The Commons", that accom­modates so many of the University students. A very pleasant and profit­able trip is reported. Miss Exean Woodard chaperoned a Manufacturer and Dealer in Better Makes of Trunks, Suit Cases and Traveling Bags Student-debates on the Japanese problem and the general immigration question were special features in Miss Cmnmins' • gt; o'clock class in Commun­ity Civics Tuesday and Wednesday of last week. , After a chairman. ,. .,, After a chairman, Miss Ober, had been appointed, the students on Tues­day turned to the questioon: Resolved: the Mongolians, especially the Japan­ese, should lie allowed free admission -fco the United States as in the case of other foreiigners. Those ^'peak^ng before the class on the subject were: Affirmative Negative Miss Clara Gordon Miss Jessie Currier Mr. Elbert Baxter Mr. H. A. Harlow Miss Dorothy Doyle Mr. Raymond Elder In a most interesting discussion of the situation in America, those speak­ing for the resolution emphasized the honorable character of the aliens in question and the folly of fearing them in a country of ninety million Ameri­cans. The effect of a German propa­ganda in arousing this antagonism was mentioned, and lastly, the idea of race-equality and the right of natural­ization were developed at length. Over against this, however, those who would keep the alien out brought before the students the economic danger of competition owing to the return of the soldiers, and the social I danger involved in the absorption of a backward, undeveloped race. As Mr, Harlow s^aid, t he point seemed to be: "It would turn out like the introduction of rabbits into Australia —there's be so many there Avould be room for nothing else. By vote of the class the negative side wras given the decision, 6 to 13. The class returned Wednesday to a debate on the more extended ques­tion: Resolved: the immigration from the old world should be suspended for a period of 4 years, and then restrict­ed. Here the following presented their view of the problem: Affirmative Negative Miss Morse Miss Reser Miss Ruby Jackson Miss Remington Mr. V. C. Lee Miss Watson Miss Morse began the discussion by sketching the historical and education­al effects of immigration—stressing the need of assimilating the aliens now here, before allowing unlimited numbers to enter this country. Miss Jackson and Mr. Lee discussed the political and economic dangers of unrestricted, immSigration. Especially vital was the point made by the af­firmative in dealing with the condi­tion of labor: "The trade-unions have a hard enough time now what would it be with unrestricted immigration With the soldiers coming home and a slack market for labor, we cannot afford to let the foreigner in." Summer School Students Before doing your shopping pick up the MESSENGER — Your paper, and look through the advertising section — then if you can do just as good—patron­ize the people who help to make it possible to place this paper in your hands. " Mention the Messenger." THE WEEKLY MESSENGER K. E. Selby, Mgr. Those of the opposition brought out the value of the immigrant a few years ago in developing the resources of the country, and of his initiative, amply shown in leaving his European home. A call for votes by Charman Dun-apan showed that the negative side was again given the decision—18 to 9. These debates are designed especi­ally as practical preparation for the sociaized recitation work of the teach­ers themselves. Made familiar with the modern questions to be discussed by school-students and with the meth­od of debate employed, they will be better able to conuct up-to-ate classes in Civics. A 4th of July program is being planned for the same purpose. GENERAL SCHOOL NEWS Orville Adams—class of TO visited school Monday. Mr. Adams is just re­turned from France. Tom Marshall—class of 'lo-'lG vis­ited school Friday. Mrs. A. L. Tyler of Lawrence and Mrs. Adele Urfer were guests of Mrs. Tyler's niece, Mrs. Annis Cotter at the Normal Thursday.

PURCHASE OF SITE FOR DORMITORY: Messrs. E. W. Purdy and C. M. Smith, president and secretary of the Bellingham Bay Improvement Company, appeared before the Board for the purpose of discussing the purchase of lands for a site for the proposed new dormitory. The property particularly under consideration was a tract beloning to the company mentioned containing with platted streets about 21 acres adjoining the present Normal grounds on the north-east. The Board also considered the purchase of three lots beloning to Miss Whitaker on High street adjoining the Normal grounds on the north-east and lying in front of the Bellingham Bay Improvement property referred to, Miss Whitaker having made her final proposal to the Board. After values, terms and conditions had been discussed a proposal was made by Trustee Smith and seconded by Trustee Barlow that the Board offer for the B. B. I. tract and the Whittaker three lots the lump sum of $23,500.00, conditioned upon the removal from the Whittaker lots of the smaller houses now located thereon within sixty days leaving only the larger Whittaker residence, and upon the securing of clear title to all the property named with abstracts that will be satisfactory to the State Attorney General. Mr. Purdy speaking for B. B. I. Company, thought they could undertake the necessary dealings with Miss Whittaker for removal of the buildings which were not desired by the Board, and would agree to secure the delivery to the Board of the title to all the land named, for the sum of $23,000.00 on the terms proposed by the Board. WHITTAKER RESIDENCE TO BE RELOCATED: It was the decision of the Board to removed the Whittaker house to a location at the north-eaterly side of the grounds being purchased and to put it in repair for occupancy by the President of the school free of rental charge, this concession being made in lieu of advance salary.
