XX BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1920 NO. 11 DEBATE TRYOUT 10 BE HELD ON 1 WILL DEBATE CHENEY NORMAL THURSDAY FEBRUARY 17TH Loving Cup to Winner A debate tryout will be held Tuesday morning, December 21, to select the teams that will oppose the Cheney State Normal on February 17. The question selected for the tryout speeches is: "Resolved: That as a prerequisite to the right of strike or lockout, employers and employees should be required to submit industrial disputes to arbitration, the machinery which is to be provided by the U. S. Government." Contestants will be limited to a five-minute speech on either side of the question. Bellingham will put two teams in the field, one of which will remain at home while the other journeys to Cheney to meet the orators at that city. Cheney will do likewise so that two debates will be staged on the same evening. Guy Allison, an old Bejlingham Normal debater, has presented the Normal Schools of the state with a handsome loving cup to be contested for in this manner. Much interest has been aroused and several old high school debaters are planning to try out. B. S. N. S." Tuesday evening at 7:80 the " Christmas party" will be given in the auditorium. Every member of the faculty a^d student body is urged to come. Christmas is the time of year in which everyone wants to do something to make some one else happy. The " Christmas greeting," which everyone is to write, is for that.purpose. It will give each person an opportunity to become better acquainted with the rest of the people in the-school. ."At this time there are many new students entering Normal and it is up to the rest of us to (Continued on page 2.) DRIVE RELIEF STUDENTS TO GIVE CHRISTMAS GIFTS TO STARVING CHILDREN True to its spirit of helpfulness and generosity displayed during the war, our school has again swung in line to help to its fullest ability the drive for the starving in Europe and Asia. At a meeting of the Students' Association, held during the Wednesday assembly and precided over by Eva Bond, the school voted to forego the Christmas presents it has been the custom for the students to exchange with each other at the annual festivities before Christmas and to devote that money to European relief. Each student will contribute something to this great cause. However, due to the suggestion of Archie Erickson, the Christmas party on Tuesday evening will not be without Christmas cheer and personal application. Each student will compose a poem, find a quotation or designate in. some way on paper a particular and appropriate bit for the student whose name he draws. Let every student turn out to this party, enjoy the tree, join in the singing of Christmas carols and express the Christmas spirit! B. S. N. S. Dr. and Mrs. Nash were honored by the citizens of Tacoma recently when Dr. Nash addressed' the public forum on the topic "The Life Worth Living" and Mrs. Nash gave several beautiful and appropriate solos during the evening, which were received with the greatest appreciation. Other- speakers of the evening were Superintendent - W. F. Geiger,of Tacoma; Dr. Penrose and Dr. Cubbei-ly. Mrs. Nash also sang at the Plymouth Congregational Church in Seattle, where her voice was most favorably commented upon. B. S. N .

OF TRAINING SCHOOL GIVES GOOD ADVICE TO PRACTICE TEACHERS " When you give your -word, keep it," was the advice given by Miss Earhart, superintendent of the training school, to a Messenger reporter, in response to a demand for some helpful suggestions to students. " The Normal faculty are too often impeded by the thoughtlessness of students," she continued. " Broken engagements, tardiness at appointments and sudden changes of mind on the part of the students are a source of needless waste. A slight amount of carelessness on the part of one student will often cause others hours of work. Students write to the training school for teaching and fail to appear at the appointed time. A more active conscience is needed." A good system of grading pupils was suggested by Miss Earhart. "Do all work possible in class, since there it is possible to supervise it, insisting on concentration, speed and individual work. Have a few . written papers handed in and grade these carefully. Have a grade for several class recitations and in most subjects have some topic presented by each child. The card system of keeping records is convenient. Distinction between grades in different forms of work may easily be made by use of pen, pencil, red ink and signs. When the final grading is done a glance at the card gives a view of all sides of the pupil's work." Students should apreciate Miss Ear-hart's gift to the school in the splendid service she renders in maintaining the standards of one of the most important departments. : B. S. N. S.

STRONG VANCOUVER TEAM TO MEET NORMAL TOMORROW Starts 8 O'Glock Sharp The Bellingham Normal School basketball season will open at 8 P. M. tomorrow evening when the fast Vancouver Ex-Normal basketball team comes to Bellingham. As stated before, the Vancouver team is one of the best basketball aggregations in this. part of Washington and British Columbia. Coach Sam Carver is not ready to announce the final lineup for Saturday evening's game at this time, but gives the names of eleven men from whom the first team will be chosen. He expects to use eight or nine men in the game tomorrow evening. Those named are: Jenkins, Crum, Burpee, Inge, Wright, Elder, Miller, Frank, Aim, Bowsher and Hannah. The management hopes to start the game promptly at 8 P..M.. Due to the small seating capacity of the gymnasium, it is requested that students seat themselves in the fololwing manner: Those that arrive first will occupy the front row of the gallery, which of course is the best place in the gym; the second row will stand in the aisle between the first and second row of benches while the third row will stand against the wall on the back bench. In this way as many will be crowded in as possible, and everyone will have an opportunity to see the game. This promises to be an unusually fast game, even though it is the opening one of the season. COLLECTION5 OF MINERALS GIVEN TO SCHOOL W.J. Graves, the well knownmining engineer of British Columbia, presented to the Normal museum last week a valuable collection of rare specimens of minerals. Some of the choice types include goldj silver,- molybdenum, copper antimony, arsenites and iron. Mr. Graves gathered these from the famous Bullick (Continued on page 2.) ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1920 December 17 - Page 2 ---------- 2 THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1920 CHRISTMAS MIXER (Continued from page 1.) make the mwelcome. It is hoped that every individual will make an effort to have a " greeting" ready to give. It has been decided that the Christmas money (10 cents to be brought by each person) will be sent to Europe to help the starving people. The program for the evening follows: 1. Singing of Xmas tongs while the crowd is gathering. 2. Play Mr. Hoppe's Class 3. Song 4. Reading, part of "The Other Wise Man " Blanch Cummings 5. Song By the Normal Quartet B. S. N. S. VALUABLE MINERALS PRESENTED TO MUSEUM (Continued frontpage 1.) Mine in Lardo Valley of West Kootc-naie, Canada. Miss Carrie Thomas, a student of our school, brought this gift to the attention of Mr. J. V. Coughlin of the Science Department, who passed upon the minerals, and was much impressed by their value to the museum. Mr. Graves has always taken a great deal of interest in the activities of education. He has contributed to the min-eralogical department of the University, of Washington, as wen as to our school. Mr. Graves and his friends, Dr. Swick and Mr. Curtis, visited the Normal last Wednesday and greatly enjoyed the Wednesday morning assembly. " B. S. N.S. Last week the school had a visitor in the person of Mr. Arthur Frame, an attorney of Anchorage, Alaska. A little more than twenty years ago, Mr. Frame was pursuing subjects such as plane and spherical trigonometry, surveying, analytics, etc., under the guidance of Dr. Nash in Yankton College, South Dakota. Later he came to the West and finally established himself in Alaska. He has been an attorney in Anchorage for the past six years and was recently chosen to serve his district in the territorial legislature. In March, 1921, he will go to Juneau to participate in the legislative mill. Mr. Frame is being favorably mentioned as a candidate for federal judge. He is commended as a man eminently fjtted for the position and hi friends assume that he stands a good :hance of securing the appointment.

II Faculty Notes At assembly last Wednjg^ay Dr. Miller spoke briefly of his meeting with the board of education in Seattle. He quoted Commissioner P. P. Claxton who said that everything waits on education. Although the United States spends more than any other nation on the education of its youth, still there are many deficiencies in its system. Three important steps should be taken for its betterment: First, higher salaries must be paid instructors; then more careful training can be demanded of them. Second, better living conditions for teachers, especially in rural districts. Third, more graduates from high schools, normals .and universities are needed. * * * Miss Sperry, at Friday morning's assembly, stressed the fact that we must not forget the unfortunate ones at this glad Christmas season. Three years ago the Holy City of Jerusalem was again taken into keeping by a Christion nation, but today its thousands are starving and in desperate need. They look to our prosperous country as the only place, from which help can come. We must not fail them. Miss Sperry urged each one to do his small part in the aid of the needy Armenians. * * * The other day Mr. Hoppe was a few minutes late to expression 1, due, he said, to the slippery pavements and the bad behavior of " Lizzie." * • * English IS was varied from the usual routine of work Monday afternoon. Miss Sperry was called elsewhere and Mr. Bever became the victim of listening to children's stories for an hour. Mr. Bever also contributed to the collection of folk lore. The hour was enjoyed greatly by the class. * * # Mr. Victor H. Hoppe made a trip to Birch Bay last Saturday evening to read Dickens' " Christmas Carol." It is the first time Mr. Hoppe has given this particular selection before a community gathering, and it was well received. His character portrayal of Old Scrooge was perhaps the best feature of his recital. * # * Enthusiastic reports come from Everett regarding the entertainment Mr. Hoppe gave before the Grade Teachers' Club there last week. He is urged to return Christmas week for another read- Miss Crawford, who was ill last week, has been able to be at her duties again. * * * Miss Esther Clark, who is now at her home in Everett, has been substituting in the high school of that place. * * •» Miss Nellie Lee plans spending Christmas with her brother in Portland.

MATHES BOOK CO. 110 WEST HOLLY STREET STUDY Study is mental absorption, concen-tralion on some subject one wishes to learn, the application of the mind to books, acquiring knowledge through one's own efforts. Study is not merely reading nor is it letting someone else do the reading and studying and having knowledge imparted to you. Studying is like mining of long ago, for in both cases one searches for something precious and gets it only through one's own efforts. Studying is not like fishing where one drops a baited hook into the stream and then sits quietly by1 and waits for a bite. Nor is it like the scarlet fever, for when one is exposed to that one usually gets it; but anyone can be exposed to a great number of subjects and even sleep in the same room with the books, yet not " catch " any of them. —JRENE Mousox B.

There are memorandum books, snap shot books, scrap books, caledars of every variety, pillows, dresser scarfs, children's tray cloths, sachet envelopes, Christmas cards, posters, loose leaf pads, place cards, blotters, desk sets, boxes for favors, and candy boxes. This does not mean that each article is decorated with a holly and mistletoe, for who could appreciate the Christmas day if he is reminded of it every day in the year? Therefore, by careful planning, many things have been prepared that are suitable for any time or season as well as pleasing Christmas remembrances. Hours have been spent in this work. Everyone is assured that if St. Nicholas should visit the art room, he could easily fill his sack. B. S. N. S. GENERAL NEWS In the issue of the Bellingham Herald, a week ago, is a contribution from Miss Woodard, dean of women, in which she invites the towns women to enjoy some of the cultural and practical courses given by the instructors of our school. * * * Vert Rocene, one of the Normal girls who left here last week, has written to friends telling of her school duties near Arlington. She is much pleased with her school. * * * It is to be hoped that sometime in the future we may be able to see some really superior film plays. Such pictures as " Cranford," " The Vicar of Wakefield," "The Chritian" and "The Last Days of Pompeii," and many others are now released, and it may be our good fortune to see them. A series of pictures featuring Lincoln's life from infancy to his assassination will be portrayed as the next picture, offering in assembly. * * * Have you seen Niagara Falls? If not, don't go just yet, but wait, for if your sense of beauty absorbs all the fairy scenes near Bellingham you will forget to go away to see the beautiful — you will find it here at home. May we suggest then that if you long for beautiful wood, sparkling streams and pure untainted air, journey on foot, horseback, bicycle or even a Ford into the entrancing spot in Western Bellingham where small boys are to be seen proudly bearing a string of trout that proves that such a hike is profitable as well as enjoyable. Wishing You a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR J. P. WOLL OPTOMETRIST AND OPTICIAN 205 West Holly MISS BAKER'S PLANS Our campus made a bird sanctuary! Such is the dream of Miss Baker of the nautre study department. To attract the birds to the campus Miss Baker would add to our already beautiful list of shrubs the red and blue huckleberry, mountain ash, Virginia creeper, mulberry, wild cherry, flowing dogwood, madrona, and the vine maple. The frog pond at the south of the building might be transformed into a beautiful iris-lined lily pond, which would furnish mud for the birds' nests. This idea of a college campus beom-ing a bird sanctuary is not original with herself, Miss Baker maintains. Many schools have already established it. To talk to Miss Baker about lier plans for beautifying the campus is to catch her enthusiasm. If the hospital is ready in the spring, Miss Baker plans to have her spring nature study classes plant shrubs, perennials and roses around it. A madrona walk, a rhododendron thicket, a perennial border south of the school are other of her ideas. JUDGE BAITS LECTURE A stirring address was delivered at the Normal last Friday evening by Judge Fred G. Bale of the juvenile court of Columbus, Ohio. Judge Bale is one of the best lecturers that has visited the Normal this year. He speaks with unusual force and vigor, driving his points home with aggressive earnestness. His subject Friday evening was " The Undefeated Enemies of Democracy." Speaking on physical fitness, Judge Bale said that we must have universal physical education. Legal steps must be taken to prevent mental defectives from marrying and rearing defective children. The high degree of intelligence necessary in a democracy must be promoted through greater appreciation of the importance of education, greater willingness to support it through free speech and the free press. In regard to race hatred, Judge Bale said, " Men must not be discriminated against on account of the color of their skin." The lecture closed with a strong appeal for the "big brother" and big sister spirit in all dealings with children in the schools and elsewhere. B. S. N. S. SUGGESTIONS TO STUDENT TEACHERS Psychologists tell us that the self-assertion of the teacher, in an effort to control the class, is a yielding to the self-preservative instinct. Various methods of self-protection in this line have been suggested by those competent to judge. In olden times the teacher used a piece of hickory as a means of self defense. Now more gentle methpds are in vogue. One super suggests the use of moral force. This is a very elusive quality, manifested usually in the following manner: You look a student in the eye and command him to desist from his conduct.

ELK STREET TWO HUNDRED PENS TO CHOOSE FROM STUDENTS' CO-OP are the possessor of this valuable power. Student-teachers have been troubled by the habit classes have of making amusing remarks at inappropriate times. If you are bothered in this way, try this: The next time Johnny suggests that cat fur is a form of fir tree, look at him and say witheringly, "Are you attempting to be facetious?" If he survives he will never trouble you again. B.S.N.S. STEW KETTLES By MARGARET HAYWAD There are all kinds of stew kettles, the iron ones that our great grandmothers used over an open fire, then the little aluminum ones we use now. There has never been much difference as to contents —for history repeats itself, you know. But there has appeared in our present hectic times another brand of stew kettle— the person who is always "stewing around" into other people's business. These people are found everywhere— at the clubs, in the street cars and often invade our home with their " stewing." A little " stew kettleism " of our own is good at times, if we take the trouble to analyze it. It may stir us up into a woeful mood (especially in hot weather); it fills those around with suggestions. It produces impatience and disobedience — both virtues at times. " Stew kettleism" isn't advised as a habit, for it makes a rather disagreeable companion out of one. However, when necessary, a remedy is easily applied. When beginning to "stew," think of a kettle, sputtering with its mixed contents. "What would happen if a douse of cool water , were thrown in it. Try the same. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1920 December 17 - Page 4 ---------- 4 THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1920 THE WEEKLY cTWESSENGERo Published by Students' Association of State Normal School^ Bellingham.

Let's show how much we care for each other this Christmas! A Merry Christmas, with the Christ-spirit deep in our hearts, will brighten the day for many and do us good as well. Giving at Christmas does not mean to bestow expensive presents on our friends and loved ones just because we think we should. A light heart will be far better than a gift that does not include love. Little deeds of kindness show the Christmas spirit and carry with them our best wishes. If we know some one who is lonely, make him a friendly call and help him feel that all the world is aglow with the spirit of love. Give of enthusiasm, kindness, and cheer unreservedly and make others feel that " Christmas is gran'." " Honest work hurts no one. Even if it does not t u r n out the results we desire,, we are likely to have gained knowledge by our effort. Success is not t he only teacher in life's great school."

Many interesting-stories are told of the different customs. Miss Loga described a Christmas in Spain. The week before Christmas is devoted to housecleaning. All debts and legal contracts must be settled before Christmas, instead of New Years, as we do. On December 29th, meat is never eaten and all must attend church on December 25th. Early in the morning about 5:30, girls and boys, dressed in long, white, flowing robes, sing anthems in the streets and church choirs. The Spanish children do not have Christmas trees nor Santa, but they do exchange presents. The children go through the symbolical happenings of the birth of Christ in the church. On Christmas Day, before the dinner, some member of the family, usually the father or oldest child, tells the story of Christmas. This is followed by a chant. In Spain, the wishing of a Happy Christmas and other greetings is very common. Mr. Rindal kindly offered the following information about a Christmas in Norway: Christmas in Norway is always a great festival, lasting three days. There is great preparation beginning at least illimiimmmiliimiimmniiimiiimiimntiiiiimtiiiimMiiiiiiNmiiillllllllillllMllii. two weeks before Christmas. At 3 o'clock on December 23, the parish church bell rings in the. Yuletide, and all work ceases. At 5 o'clock a dainty lunch is served and presents are distributed. At 8 o'clock a good dinner is served and before leaving the table the head of the family reads about the birth of Christ from the Bible. The meal is closed by singing the Christmas hymn. In the morning, on Christmas Day, all go to the church and the merry jingle of sleigh bells can be heard everywhere. To visit neighbors is not considered proper, on the first two days, but on December 27th invitations are sent and received; one evening is set apart for the married and one for the young people, who enjoy themselves with games and dancing. This visiting lasts until January 13. On that night the " Yule Bucks" come and chase Christmas away. They usually are boys and girls disguised and masked, and they come marching into the house. They are made welcome, served with refreshments, have a dance or two and are away to the next house. A Christmas in Austria is just the same as ours, except that the Austrian children put up their shoes instead of their stockings.

He reports that there are six other Philos in Stanwood besides himself. They are leading a very strenuous life in that flourishing town. One night they dissipated, each bought a milkshake and no one got in until 9 o'clock! B.S. N.S. TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES That Christmas is near is everywhere in evidence. All the pupils are enthusiastic over plans for the Christmas program. The language and reading classes are writing and reading Christmas stories. In thep rimary department are many posters illustrating Christmas Eve, Christmas morning, old Santa Claus, etc. In the upper grades studies of poinsettas, holly and mistletoe. B.S. N.S. ASSEMBLY NOTES Superintendent Earhart and her assistant supervisors are now bi'eathing a sigh of relief, as they have completed the assigning of the various classes and explaining the many duties of the practice teachers. » # * Many new faces may be seen among the practice teachers this quarter. However, already the new student teachers have their work well in hand, and are making very careful preparation for each day's lesson. * • • A very interesting class in arithmetic is being conducted in the sixth grade. The students are compiling an arithmetic book, made up of original problems contributed by members of the class. The problems are based on everyday experiences, things the children know about home affairs or father's business. The object is to make the lesson real, i. e., the father of one boy deals in confectionary. He bought so many cases of gt;• Hershey bars, containing so many dozen, '" at so much a case. He sold them at a certain amount for a bar. What did he gain or lose? Another boy's father installed an elevator in his hotel. A shaft had to be made — an excellent problem. Then he wished to know how much his elevator advanced his business and whether it paid. In another home a new door was purchased for the barn. With the teacher's guidance, the children are actually making these problems themselves. In this way the lessons mean more. Home and school are being brought closer together. The pupil is being in- I structed in economic values and condi- j tions. I At assembly last Monday Mrs. A. J. Craven, secretary of the local Red Cross, gave an interesting address. She imparted the surprising information that not our country, but Japan, has the largest Red Cross membership in the world, numbering 1,800,000; Russia next with a membership of 1,600,000 and Germany with 1,400,000 and 800,000 trained first aids. Mrs. 'Craven spoke of the enormous debt our country is paying off, with the help of the Red Cross and other organizations. The bonus system for our discharged soldiers has been nearly finished but other debts of national importance are still incomplete. The compensation law has done much to help disabled soldiers and their families to get a new start. This most helpful address ended with reference to the many amusing and pathetic incidents that the Red Cross workers encounter. B.S. N.S. GIRLISH GIRLS OR LADIES " YOUNG A movement for more simple dress and individual hair dress has been started by the girl students of our high schools. Forming a nucleus in a Seattle high school, the movement has swept the state with cyclonic momentum. Many individuals have felt for a long time that our young students were bartering their natural charming, sweet winsomeness of girlhood for the exterior of a " young lady." Being a " young lady" seems to hold a peculiar and dominant fascination, for at last the grades even have been practically shorn of refreshing curls and pigtails. The monotonous sameness of attitude and dress seemed to prevail in all stages of girlhood. While wise .heads were trying to discover what to do to change this onesided staate of affairs, the students came to their senses themselves. One by one the high schools held student mass meetings to discuss the subject of dress and hair dress, and, one by one, voted to abolish the prevailing extreme styles. Whatcom High School adopted resolutions several weeks ago. First, there shall be no " ear buns." Second, but equal in importance, a simple serge dress shall be worn, preferably the Peter Thompson. Third, the silk stocking must be abolished; and fourth, a sensible shoe will take the place of the clicking French heeled boot. The movement is commendable from every standpoint. The students themselves are enforcing these regulations. With these changes, athletic indulgences outside the gymnasium will be a natural result, and we are looking forward with glad hearts to the day when, once more, all our girls will be real girls. — FLORENCE SWAN-SON Newton's Incorporated WOMEN'S APPAREL OF QUALITY THE PRE-HOLIDAY CLEARANCE Offers many useful articles that are new, practical, giveable, that have been sharply reduced to the new, lower price levels.

MAJORS RECEIVE INITIATION Saturday evening the office and general reception room of the physical educational department was a scene of excitement, due to the fact that twelve girls majoring in P. E. were initiated into the department. The initiation was clever and unique and according to the results noticable on a few of the new members, quite impressive. A light lunch was served, after which all ventured out into the storm. Educators are beginning to realize more and more the need of P. E. teachers. In his lecture this past week, Dr. Bale emphasized the fact. It is hoped the Normal as a training school for teachers will strengthen and increase this department. The work conducted by Miss Moffat and her assistants at present is excellent, and remarkable results achieved. The following girls are now P. E. majors: Pearl Whittmore, Minnie Collins, Dorothy Bell, Mary Wood, Edith Cain, Pauline Bornstein, Pauline Noll, Eleanor Lindsley, Mary Collins, Marion Collier, Elsie Minor, Gladys Prouty. B. S. N.

Crowds were hurrying to and fro, so intent on their own pursuits that they did not notice a forlorn little creature, with pleading eyesA beseeching them to buy his papers. At last, little Joe, as the newsboy was called, gave up all hopes of selling any papers. He was so cold, so hungry, that he felt he could hardly walk. It had been a hard week for him. He had not sold enough papers to buy sufficient bread and soup. He passed up one street, almost blinded with tears, and not heeding where hewas going, found himself just outside a large building, from which many lights were shining. People were crowding into this building, and through the open door at times, Joe caught glimpses of beautiful lights and flowr ers, and the sound of such sweet music reached his ears he thought he must be close to heaven. At length he entered, gazing fearfully around, expecting every minute to be ejected, because of his ragged appearance. Nobody bothered the little fellow, so he found his way to one of the pews. Then he looked up and the sight which met his eyes caused him to grow faint with amazement. Before him was a little infant lying on a bed of straw! Then he noticed people kneeling round this crib. Might he dare? Perhaps after all were gone he could. He crept up in one corner of the pew and waited. The sexton locked up for the night, not noticing the quiet little figure. Creeping up till he came close to the manger where the little child lay, he gazed in awe-struck wonder, then, kneeling down, he prayed in the only way he knew. He wanted so much to do something for the child. But what could he do? He — a poor, ragged newsboy! He was feeling so faint now. Then he whispered low, "Little child, I can do nothing for you but love you." Then he crept back to the pew almost numb with cold and hunger. He sank down, tried to rise, to call, but was too weak. Then his thoughts began to wander and his sufferings were drowned in a merciful unconsciousness. The early worshippers of St. Paul's were dismayed to find a little boy apparently asleep in one of the pews. They tried to rouse him but all in vain. Little Joe's dream had come true, and his little love-starved soul was at last happy with the little child he " could only love," on Christday Day. B. S. N. S.

Miss Alice Mark-ham, of Seattle, was united in marriage with Mr. Arthur M. Isett, of Oak Harbor. The ceremony took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Met,. Miller, 2300 Utter Street, friends of the bride. After a solo, " I Love, and the World Is Mine," rendered by Miss Edith Miller, the bridal party took their places under the wedding bell. Miss Helen Markham, sister of the bride, was maid of honor. Mr. Merwin Miller attended the groom. The impressive ring ceremony was read by Rev. J. C. Harrison of the Garden Street Methodist Church. In the dining room, artistically decorated in pink and white, a delightful luncheon was served. Mr. and Mrs. Isett departed that afternoon for Oak Harbor. They will make their future home at Forks, where Mrs. Isett has been engaged to teach in the schools. The best wishes of the Normal faculty and students and hosts of friends go with them for their success and happiness. NORMAL IS PROVEN A VALUAB STUDENTS SHOW WORTH OF THIS SCHOOL TO THE COMMUNITY That the State Normal School is a valuable asset to the City of Bellingham was shown at a meeting of the Business Girls on Wednesday, December 1st. The club is sponsored by Miss Exean Wood-ard, dean of women. At this meeting the business was conducted as an open forum and two topics were under discussion; the advanced credit .that a Normal student . receives at the university and "the actual money value of .the Normal to the community. $60,677.13.SPENT IN ONE YEAR It was shown that, the total .amount spent for the year ending October. 31, 1920, was $60,677.13, and it was divided up. as follows": .

His lecture will make you think about the nation's greatest asset — the youth of the twentieth century. Judge Bale's inspiring lecture is gathered from his experiences as public prosecutor in the juvenile court at Columbus, Ohio. This wonderful experience brought him face to face with criminals in the making and gave him an insight into the real character of the so-called delinquent child. Some of his experiences are humorous, others pathetic, but all extremely interesting. Judge Bale is an orator of unusual ability and one whom we should all hear without fail, tonight. SINGS IN ASSEM At the assembly on Wednesday, the Normal students, faculty and part of the training school were highly entertained, when Mrs. Gilfillan ,rendered a beautiful musical program for us. Mrs. Gilfillan was formerly the secretary of the training school here (at school). For the past few years she has been studying in Chicago and, after her visit here is over, will, return there to con-nue the work. We are very glad to have Mrs. Gilfillan here to entertain us, and wish for her great success in her work. The program follows: Monte Princeo..-.

The commencement address was delivered by Ralph W. Swetman, president of the Washington Educational Association. The program follows: Faust March Miss Thompson Invocation Rev. J. C. Harrison Stormy Night Somervell Choral Club Address Professor Ralph W. Swetman, President Washington Educational Association Yalse Improintu Ruff Miss Bogdanoff Presentation of Class President G. W. Nash Presentation of Diplomas Dr. W. D. Kirkpatrick Four Leaf Clover Coombs Normal Quartet Benediction Rev. J. C. Harrison a HISTORICAL DRAMA IS FIRST OF SERIES OF REELS TO BE SHOWN The first of the season's series of motion pictures, " My Own United States," which was presented Tuesday, was enjoyed by all. The picture, founded on Edward Everett Hale's " The Man Without a Country," took the audience back to the time of Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr, and then through the history of the United States to the Civil War. The closing reel portrayed the modern young man leaving to serve his country on the fields of Europe and to uphold the ideals for which his country stands. The next of the series of reels will give to us the life of Abraham Lincoln. These reels are both interesting and educational. Miss Druse, who is back from her vacation with new /.est for work, claims excuse for any breaches of custom she may have committed on the grounds that she left her blue book at home. At that rate the entire student body would be forever free from blame. IASKETBALL H M E EIGHTEEN ARE PRACTICING DAILY UNDER GUIDANCE OF COACH CARVER •Mr. Weir will speak at Maple Falls Saturday at the opening of the new community hall. Former Plaj^ers Back Eighteen young huskies have answered the'call of Coach Carver and are turning out daily in the hope of making the basketball team. Among these are several who have distinguished themselves as basketball players, both at Normal and during their high school careers. Max Jenkins, one of last year's crack forwards on the Normal team, is back in uniform, working hard to get into his old form. " Dick'' Inge and " Blan" Burpee have come over from Fairhaven to try their hand at Normal basketball. Both of these have seen service before .under Carver when he coached the Fairhaven team two years ago. Bowsher and Elder, of last year's second team, are out, as is Rueben Aim, who was on the second team a few years ago. Out of town men who are showing up well include Miller, of Sedro-Woolley; Wright, from Suinas, and Hannah, from Friday Harbor. The first game of the season is with the Ex-Normal team from Vancouver, one week from tomorrow. DIST ACTOR MING TUESDAY The students of the Normal School will have an opportunity next Tuesday evening to hear one of America's foremost actors, when Fredrick Warde appears as the fourth number on the school lecture course program. Fredrick Warde has been called " the grand old man of the footlights." For more than half a century he has been a leading actor. His lecture " Fifty Years of Make Believe," is a fascinating story of stage life. It is a revelation of the real American stage of the past fifty years told by one who was in the midst of the best of it — a gentleman splendidly equipped in every way to tell this most fascinating story. During the past winter Mr. Warde played the leading role in the famous Los Angeles Mission Play at San Gabriel — the A merican Oberammergau — where his masterly interpretation created comment throughout the entire West. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1920 December 10 - Page 2 ---------- 2 THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1920 THE WEEKLY cTWESSENGER^ Published by Students' Association of State Normal School, Bellingliam.

WELCOME TO YOU To our new friends, the students who are entering this Normal for the first time, The Messenger extends a sincere welcome. Our one hope is that you will get as much out of this school in the next quarter as we have in the past. May your work be a pleasure, your teachers helpful. "May your joys be as deep as the ocean And your sorrows as light as the foam." One day last week some of us overheard a girl in the hall say, " Oh5 why can't we get some life into this school? " The answer by one of the young men was, "Normal may have been dead this last quarter, but this time we are going to have the championship basketball team of the state. That means pep." Girls, do you realize that we have some letter men back and in this school we are going to have a wonderful team. The boys can not do it all themselves. They may fight hard on the field and in practice, but they need the real, inspiring, ever ready support of the girls on the side lines to win the goal that we have set for them. Come on, girls, let's show the boys, the town, and the other schools of the state what a live, spirited school we have! You wonder why the Messenger is so much smaller than usual this week; in fact, only half of last week's issue. At the beginning of the year we were in debt, from last year, three hundred dollars. We have cut down that sum to about two hundred and are trying to speedily dispose of the remainder. That is the reason for the difference in size this week, but next time we shall be back to normal.

XX BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1920 NO. 8 I OF PUIS EXCELLENT DRAMATIC PRODUCTIONS ARE SHOWN AT ASSEMBLY Pleasing to Audience Least Friday's assembly was turned over to the Thespian Dramatic Club who displayed much natural ability in the lively program which they put before the student body. The Irish comedy, written by Mercedes Goclet, was pleasing with its Irish wit and clever acting. Betty Lee, as Kathleen, the sweet Irish colleen, carried away the honors. To display their art in silent drama, a pantomime was presented. It would be impossible to determine the best actor for all carried out their roles with -a humor that delighted the students. Melba Hinds, as the farmer's daughter, harassed by many suitors, proved versatile as to hiding places for said suitors when father's (Ed Wolter's) firm step was heard. During the interval between the two plays, Miss Madeline Hess delighted the students with two really worth while selections on the piano. STUDIO ART CLUB The regular meeting of the Art Club was held Thursday evening, with several prospective members in attendance. A short business session convened, after which much talent was displayed when each member was presented with a sketch to reproduce. That greatest home day of the year Has come again with all its cherished memories. As we speak our gratitude for heavenly bounty, we voice New determination to be helpful in the days ahead. Kindness stirs afresh the human heart; Sympathy for fellow-man uproots selfishness; Generosity reaches beyond the home circle; Interest in all mankind is manifest; Visits and hand-clasps supplant mere thoughts and words; Isolation and sorrow vanish at the touch of friendly hands; Neighborliness takes on a deeper meaning. God help us all to measure thankfulness in loving deeds! — G. W. NASH BASKETBALL THESPIANS, FIGHTING HARD, ARE OUTPLAYED BY CLUB RIVALS Final Score Is 27 to 14 Operetta Given by Junior High School The members of the Junior High School invite their friends to the operetta, " The Indian Princess," to be given in the auditorium at the Normal School on Friday afternoon, November 19, at 2:30 o'clock. The first act of "The Indian Princess " portrays the landing of the Englishmen in Virginia, the choosing of John Smith as governor, the lack of industry on the part of the sailors and English gentlemen, and closes with the Dream Song and the Dance of the Dream Fairies. The second act presents the camp of the Chief Powhatan, the capture of John Smith and his rescue by Pocahontas. Interesting features are the Indian Dance by the braves and pappooses, and the Canoe Song by Pocahontas and her maidens. Edgar Wirth, Bernice Musser and Toddlers Beat Sages Last Tuesday evening at 4 o'clock the Juniors beat the Seniors 49 to 36 in an exciting game of indoor baseball. The Seniors won the toss-up and took the field for the first inning, during which time the Juniors ran up fourteen points. The Seniors were successful in securing only five points during their section of the inning. Because of lack of time only seven innings were played, and the final count was 36 to 49 in favor of the Juniors. Mr. Carver refereed the game. Mr. Hoppe will attend the community P.-T. A. at Forest Park and at Rolling- Bay a week from Friday. It is his second trip to both places. Merle Kibbe take the parts of Powhatan, Pocahontas and John Smith. Sixty people wil ltake part in the choruses, in English, sailor and Indian costumes. The war is still on! and a very decisive battle has won on the plains of our small gymnasium just before dark last Friday. The battle raged in fury and it seemed for a while that the enemy that carried the flag of the Philos were to drive the warriors of the Thespians from the field. But a truce was called and both armies rested for the final onslaught. Fierce was the second encounter, and the Philo army was somewhat' astonished as to the rapid blows they received, when cannon ball after cannon ball was dropped through their baskets. The Philos left the field victorious, with twenty-seven direct shots against the fourteen placed by the Thespian artillery. There is talk of other club battles, but they have not been arranged as yet. Some of the Normal turned out, but more should come and enjoy the next game if you want something that is not as gentle as football. It will be a rare treat and thrilling at that.

The pleading voice had a hint of tears in it, and the small face showed mingled astonishment and concern. The voice belonged to little Jerry Marks, who had recently come to the little logging town, and who had found a mother in good Aunt Martha Watson. She lived next door to Jerry and his big, burly, kind-hearted uncle. Jerry's mother was dead. Aunt Martha sat down. And more than that she put her apron over her head and sobbed aloud. Jerry could not bear to see Aunt Martha cry, so lie immediately left. On his way down the walk he met Uncle Silas Watson. "Good morning," cheerily called Jerry, but he was greeted .by a grunt. Uncle Silas did not believe in good mornings, nor a great many other things that small Jerrys and Aunt Marthas delight in. Jerry resolved he would find out why dear Aunt Martha would have no Thanksgiving. So he stopped on his way home to call on Mrs. Tom Moore who lived near. " Will you please tell me, Mrs. Moore, just why Aunt Martha can not have any Thanksgiving, and why Mr. Watson (he did not say Uncle Silas) is so cross?" , Mrs. Moore, knowing how Jerry loved Aunt Martha, decided to tell him all about it. "Well, she can't," began Mrs. Moore, " for Silas Watson won't let her." "But why?" exclaimed loyal little eleven-year-old Jerry. "About five years ago — their only daughter went to town to go to school, and while she was there she met a young man by the name of Robert Benson and he fell in love with her! Of course he couldn't help it. She was nineteen and pretty as a picture, and when she came home she told her father and mother that she was going to marry Robert on' the next Thanksgiving Day. She said Robert was coming out Sunday *iiiMiinitiiiii.iiii..iMiiiiiii.ii.iiitiimmmmmmimimmmmmimiimmmmtmmmi gt;immmm"m E.'iiiiiiHiiiiiiMiiii.ii.i.iiiii.u.ii.immm.immiimiiiimmimiimm.iimmmmmmim.immmm = I* 1| MONDAY — l l Dr. Frank J.

" The old man stormed and fumed, and swore he would not see him. He said that Judd Martin, who had the farm next to him, had already asked for Lucille's hand and he had partially promised that she should marry Judd. " Well, of course Aunt Martha stood by Lucille, and as the old man had set his heart on her marrying Judd, he' would not give in, although Judd was a farmer of about forty with more money than brains, and Robert was about twenty-three and a cashier in a large bank. " Silas refused to let Robert come there, and against his wishes, Lucille, who has lots of spunk, took her mother to the city to see Robert several times, and on Thanksgiving Day they were married in his home, and Aunt Martha came back alone, and Uncle Si has never seen Lucille since nor has he ever seen Robert. " Now they have a little boy about three years old and Aunt Martha just worships him, but Uncle Si won't give in and ask them home, so he has never seen Robert Junior either. " Uncle Si is a contrary, strong man, and with all his wealth I do believe he's too contrary to help any one or do any good to any one," and with that Mrs. Moore finished. Jerry said, " That makes me mad, but you just wait! " Just what lie had up his sleeve Mrs. Moore did not know, but she secretly hoped that Jerry would in some way out-wit the old man. Jerry went home and thought. He knew Aunt Martha wanted to adopt him, but Uncle Si would not listen to it! Finally he hit upon a plan, which if it worked would mean much happiness to several people, but if it didn't work — well, it just had to work, that's all. The next day when Uncle Si went to let his cows through the pasture bars, he noticed a piece of paper tacked to one of them. He wonderingly took it loose and read: "Mr. Watson is aw full contrary .Tost becah.se his daughter did marry. What's the use of his living, If he don't have any Thanksgiving? " Oh, but he was mad! He tore the paper into bit sand went grimly about his work. He could not guess who had written it, for he did not know of a soul in this place who could make a rhyme — " mere bunk " he called it. That evening when he went to milk he found another small note on the handle of the milk pail. This time it read: ...."It's too bad Mr. Sie Won't have any pie, If he can't in joy life, lie's stingy — and won't let his wife!" Silas read this with more anger, but underneath was an uneasy feeling that he had almost none to call his friend. The morning after ,as he went out to chop some wood, he found the visiting paper already there. This time he read: "Mr Si could have lots of friends If he wanted 'em — but he don't; He could make lots of peeple happy if he would — but he won't." Silas laid down the ax and thought. He gazed at the handwriting again and again and wondered who iould have COATS COATS COATS HALF PRICE AND LESS Have you seen that new shipment of Coats?

The writing was not very good and of course some words were misspelled, but Silas Watson had never seen that writing before, so he was in a sea of doubt. But the climax was reached that afternoon when he led the horses to water. On the side of the trough was a paper boldly beckoning to the old man. Silas had done a good deal of thinking that day which was. a very good thing for him. So he picked up the paper, prepared to iread some more scathing remarks against himself, but this one was quite different. It read: "Uncle Si, oh Uncle Si, He's the appel of my eye, Fur I know that he's not cross, And, I sure think he's the boss!" Uncle Si drove the horses back to the barn and then went up to the house where Aunt Martha was busily sewing carpet rags. He straightway showed her the notes and asked her if " she had any idee who could a writ 'em?" Aunt Martha did not know, but she immedately isuspected Jerry. So that afternoon when Uncle Si had gone to town and Jerry came over she showed him the notes. " Yes, Aunt Martha, I wrote 'em," sobbed the lad, " fur I thought maybe Uncle Si would see just how bad he made you and me feel." He cried on her motherly shoulder, wildly trying to tell her that he thought it " might help." In the midst of all this Uncle Si came in. He soon learned the whole story, and the first twinkle that had been seen in his old eyes for a long time iappeared when Jerry sobbingly confessed just why he did it. " You stay right here with Aunt Marthy," he said and drove away to town in his big car. When he returned he brought back Lucille, Robert and Junior — " to spend Thanksgivin'," he said. Uncle Si told no one how much ashamed he-was of his obstinacy of past years, but every one knew. And- he was the proudest man in the world on that Thanksgiving day. Jerry's happiness was reached when toward evening a tall lawyer appeared and made out papers that made Jerry legally Uncle Si's and Aunt Martha's son! That night as Jerry said his prayers he added, " God, I thank you that you let me write po'try when you did, for now it's got me a home!"

The big liner plowed rapidly on towards the west. She was making up for lost time. Sometime during the forenoon of the next day, Thanksgiving Day, she would arrive in New York. On board the ship was an atmosphere of elation. Many of the first and second class passengers hoped to eat their Thanksgiving dinners at home. Others knowing that this would not be their good fortune were nevertheless glad that land would soon be reached. Among the steerage. passengers there was also great excitement, as there always is when i t ' becomes known that the new and strange land is near. Most of them were unaware that such a day as Thanksgiving existed. They knew that there would be much anxious waiting at Ellis Island before they could finally enter the promised land. Although night was coming and the air cold, many people were still on deck. Among the steerage passengers there were little groups of many nationalities, talking over plans for the future. On the upper deck were also many passengers, happy that they could once more be out after the days of gloom and storm through which they had passed. The men in their heavy overcoats and the ladies warmly bundled in wraps were briskly promenading back and forth. Sometimes they stopped to observe the motley groups of immigrants on the deck below. 'A little apart from one of these groups stood a woman, tall and erect. She was dressed in black with a gray shawl covering her head and shoulders. Not much of her face was visible. Only when the wind blew aside part of the shawl might one perceive that she was not old, perhaps not more than thirty-five. Near her, playing on the deck, was a little boy of about eight. She did not pay any attention to him but stood close to the railing, peering into the dark water. The commotion of the waves was no greater than that of her soul. A look of intense agony was on her face. Again she was experiencing all the horrors of the war she had lived through. She was back again in the little Flemish village; vividly there flashed through her brain the terrible things that had happened .there; the days of anguish when her husband was called to arms; the coming of the enemy army, nearer and nearer, until at last soldiers had entered the village where she lived. Insolently they had come, had burned her home and the homes of others. All the country- Headache, in many cases, is an indication that your eyes need aid. Consult Woll, the Optometrist, 205 W. Holly. side had been laid waste, then onwards they had rushed. Soon after this came the overwhelming sorrow — her husband's death. At last peace had come, and she had determined to leave her country. She could not bear to stay any longer where there had been so much suffering. Her affection was now centered on her boy. She believed, like so many,' that a brighter future awaited him in America than could possibly be his in their native country. So at last she had saved enough and with some others of her countrymen she had set sail for the United States. Gradually new hopes had to some extent crowded away old memories and she was almost happy. Then suddenly she had seen a face and ill her bitterness and grief loomed up before her! She had recognized among the first class passengers the German officer who with a detachment of men had entered her house, rudely ordered her to get out and then had set fire to it. She had not, like so many villagers, implored him to be merciful. Proudly she had looked at him, observing him closely, and then with her boy she had calmly and firmly obeyed the command. Impotent-ly she had hated this man. She hated his overbearing face with its insolent mustache and disdainful smile. Her hate had grown with the death of her boy's father. It seemed as if all her hatred against the enemy had fixed itself on this German officer. It had become an obsession. She had made a vow that if it should ever be her fate to meet this man again she would kill him. At last the time had come! Her brain was in a whirl. She must think quickly of some way of taking this man's life! Tomorrow they would arrive in New York. She must act this very night! Her brain crazed with hatred, hit.upon a plan. She would take her boy to bed, procure a knife at the kitchen and then she would stealthily make her way to the first class promenade deck. In some dark corner she would wait until he might" happen to pass by in his after dinner walls. Softly then she would creep up to him and stab him. She thought no further about the plausibility of the plan, about her own fate or about her boy. She no longer reasoned. She was like an insane person or one in a dream. She was aroused from her fearful reverie by a scream and the thud of a falling body. She turned around. Where was her boy? People were crowding around her." What was it all about? She was too dazed at first to know what was the matter, then her mind cleared. Her boy was gone! She shrieked. She saw how a boat was lowered. Somebody jumped from an upper deck. A search-ligth was flashed on the water. The huge steamer slowed down and stopped. She saw it and perceived all indistinctly. Then a cry struck her benumbed consciousness. She heard the word " mother." It had an electrifying effect. They were bringing her boy to her. She did not hear the cheering of the people. She saw no one but her boy. She did not see how they were also carrying another body, a body still and lifeless. She had no eyes for that. Her boy was alive and she cared for nothing else.

Inspect Samples Now and Make Your Selection Early ENGRAVING DEPARTMENT Union Printing, Binding St'y Co. ELK STREET Tears of joy ran down her cheeks. Gone were all thoughts of murder and revenge. Some women of her own nationality took her and the boy to their cabin. There when the boy was sleeping they told her about the heroic gentleman who had lost his life in saving that of the boy's. Grievously she sobbed as she heard their tale. Bitterly she reproached herself for her negligence that had cost the life of a stranger and might have cost the life of her son. The next day she asked to see the body of her benefactor. They were guided through the spacious saloons of the first class to the stateroom where the body lay. Many people were there as the immigrant woman and her child entered. They did not see how the woman started as she saw the face of the dead man. Her face became as white as that of the corpse. There before her lay the body of the officer whom she had sworn to kill. She had been avenged not by human hands, but by God's. As the woman looked down on the face of the dead man her countenance changed. The hard expression left her eyes and her tears began to flow. How helpless he looked in death! The proud, cold smile no longer played about his lips, the mustache no longer bristled fiercely, there was only the serenity of death. A great wave of pity swept over her. She now realized that this man had been only an instrument in the hands of superiors, that his finer, nobler feelings had been crushed by the brutality and savagery of war. She drew her boy to her and told him to kiss the face of his rescuer. She stooped over, took one long look- at the marble features and then taking her boy by the hand walked rapidly away. As they reached the deck a beautiful sight was before them! Like a city of dreams, glittering in the clear frosty air with the benign rays of the Thanksgiving Day sun kissing it, was the city of New York. Near, very near, was the great Statue of Liberty welcoming them just as it had in the past welcomed' so many weary pilgrims. And as one weary pilgrim stood on the stairway ready to descend to the lower deck she saw these eager immigrants in a new light. She saw these people of many nations and many languages, knew their hopes and desires, for were they not hers also? Then putting her arm around her boy she fell on her kness, gave thanks to God and prayed for further guidance. A practical American business man standing nearby, observing the earnest multitude below and the devotional attitude of the woman, was greatly moved. He murmured, "As Thou didst guide the Pilgrim Fathers of old, so guide Thou these pilgrims of today." ALKISIAHS In recognition of the triumph of national woman's suffrage this year, the Alkisiahs have taken up a study of this fascinating and fruitful movement. Last Thursday night an interesting setting was given when the pioneer workers were discussed. Louise Nelson told of "The Friendship Between Mrs. Stanton and Miss Anthony." Grace Rehill gave a paper on " The Life of Lucy Stone" and Miss Baker's talk on " The Romance of Lucy Stone and Henry Blackwell" was especially interesting. Ellen Reep gave a delightful solo entitled " The Crying of Water." . The program was concluded with a lively practice of club songs led. by Marion Chisholm. The bulbs for the Alkisiahs annual sale have been carefully planted and will be blooming soon. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1920 November 19 - Page 4 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1920 THE WEEKLY cTMESSENGERj Published by Students' Association of State Normal School, Bellingham.

HE time has come," the Walrus said, "To speak of many things; Of ships and sealing wax And cabbages and kings." *? THE THANKSGIVING ISSUE The Thanksgiving issue of the Messenger which you now have in your hands is somewhat different than the regular weekly editions. We make this departure from the regular school newspaper type of publication with the aim of making a special edition to convey the Thanksgiving spirit and with the hope that it may he more interesting at this time of the year. While being thankful, we must not fail to extend a word of thanks and appreciation to those not on the staff who have helped to make this issue possible. We wish to thank all those who contributed stories or poems in the contest. Do not be discouraged even if your story was not accepted. During the three quarters that we have been editor of the Messenger we have conducted several contests, but never before has the response been so hearty as it was to this Thanksgiving contest. More contributions were received than in any of the contests conducted last year. This speaks well for the students of the Normal. We wish to thank you, one and all, and urge you to try again in the Messenger Christmas story and poem contest. In the same connection, we must not forget to thank our loyal cartoonist, Archie Erickson, who drew the contest posters that appeared on the bulletin board, as well as the illustrations which appear in this copy of the paper. Any aspiring journalists who desire to work on the Messenger next quarter would do well to commence planning for it at once. The staff meets regularly every Tuesday and Thursday at 10 o'clock. Two credits in English are given for one quarter's work. If you are interested in this line of work, see the editor as soon as possible and find out more about it. Strong English students are especially desired. After the Thanksgiving vacation we will get out the " Sing and Yell" edition of the Messenger. The basketball season will soon be here, so it is high time to begin preparations. A VALUABLE INVENTION " I've an invention at last that will mean a fortune! " " W h a t is it this t i m e ?" " Why, it's an extra key for the typewriter. When you don't know how to spell a word, you hit that key and it makes a blur that might be an e, an a, or almost anything else." — Ner York Evening Post. Some would-be contributors to the Messenger find that an ink spot serves the purpose just as well. We wonder if this would pass in a spelling test? I am thankful for the Bellingham State Normal School and for the privilege of working with its students and teachers for educational advancement in this corner of the nation. — G. W. NASH Bellingham, Washington, November 19, 1920. My Wealth First Prize Poem By Lois WILMA OSBORN You ask me why I am thankful? Why, I'm rich, and have gold to spare! My wealth is the gold of the sunshine That every lone mortal may share. My wealth is the silver of moonlight, And the sparkle of night's starry gems, More precious and beautiful ever Than king's crowns, or rich diadems. My wealth is the links of that friendship Of those I have known and have loved, And the trust that is placed on a comrade, The wealth of the ages has proved; The flowers — the birds and the music, And the smiles — or a kind, helping hand, Are my wealth — so you see why I'm thankful, Each day as new riches expand.

Fudge, a cheery fireplace and the happy girls' chatter made the evening a very pleasant one. * * * Miss Sperry's class entertained the young people of the Methodist Church Friday, November 12. * * * Miss Eva Bond was surprised by thirty of her Normal friends Friday evening. She had been invited to a friend's home for dinner, after the groups of young people had reached her home she received a call and returned home expecting to find Dr. and Mrs. Nash there. However, as she entered the house the lights were turned on and a myriad of smiling faces greeted her. Clever games, contests and amusements were provided for the merrymakers. The fireplace with its roaring fire added a cheer to the gathering which will not soon be forgotten. * * * Mrs. Klingenmaier, of Clear Lake, Washington, spent the past week here with her neice, Evelyn Butters. * * * Clara Kallander, a graduate of the school, and now teaching at Custer, spent the week end here with her sister, lt;\clena. * * * Dr. Edwin A.

" I'm thankful to be living in the United States." On the whole, faculty and students of the Normal seem to be a thankful lot of individuals. The one who made the first remark said in a gleeful way, " and I hope they keep on going down." We can't be positive as to what he meant, skirts or prices. " I'm thankful I'm alive," was another kind .word from an optimistic soul who in spite of us all is still happy. Then r- the next wandering spirit we meet greets us thusly, " Gee! I'm thankful I didn't flunk in that test." Then her best friends says, "I'm thankful, oh — just because —" which of course is a woman's excuse. " Believe me, I'm thankful it's quit raining." Oh — oh — what a horrible • slam on our admirable summer weather! "Me? Huh, I'm thankful there aren't any more nights in the week!" Now we wonder what that angelic person meant? Can you think? "Aw, I'm thankful we're gonna have pie for Thanksgiving dinner," one hungry member of the training school was heard to say. He didn't say what kind of pie. We'll have to ask him about it afterwards. " Oh, I'm so thankful for a helper like Miss Woodard." We all know that girl's sentiment expresses all the girls' feelings for Miss Woodard's loving advice. " I'm thankful this yeaV that I've been able to help people to help themselves," and that's something for us to be thankful for, don't you think? Another said, " I'm so thankful for all my opportunities and to be here on earth with the rest of my fellow men." That is a serious thought, but now and then we need one. " I 'm thankful to have those glorious mountains out there." So are we all, although many of us don't take time enough to look at them. But the one that comes closest, the one that means more than all to us was " I 'm thankful to be going to dear old Normal." FIFTEEN WELL-SPENT MINUTES Miss Woodard's Bible study class enjoyed a fffteen-minute hike Thursday afternoon. A few spare moments like this can be used in getting acquainted with the woods and wonderful scenery of Bell-ingham. Mr. Kibbe states that the loan fund is coming in slowly. He has written to several alumnus asking for donations. Fourteen of the alumnus have given from five to ten dollars apiece. The balance in the Students' Loan Fund at present is $1262.75.

Oh, no — Hemingway, you must be joking!" The men stopped for a moment and Hemingway laid his hand on his comrade's shoulder. " Look here, Buddy, you are forgetting again. Remember, we went overseas togehter, you and me and a ship load of other boys; we trained together and always kept together, and we stayed in the dugout hoping that our time to go over the top would come soon. And one morning we did go over, I saw you as you disappeared into the fog ahead of me. Then I was winged and forgot my troubles until I woke up in the hospital with a Red Cross nurse looking at me. I inquired about you, first thing and they brought me a paper and your name was among those missing. I wrote your folks back here and gave them all the news I could and then last month when I was walking down a street in Paris, here I came face to face with you, and now I'm taking you home. Don't you remember anything of your past, Buddy? " " No, everything is a blank from the time I found myself lying behind a stone house somewhere, and Ibegan to run. I didn't know what I was running for any more than a baby. After that, though, I remember everything. But nothing before." Again they moved on, this time Hem- " Hemingway, do you suppose we are lost?" " No! it can't be more than a mile and a half now. I've got my directions, I think. If only those clouds would lift a little. Keep on your pegs, old man. You can't cry quit now. Buck up. Think what we'll find at the end of the trail." " Oh, I'll keep on my pins, all right, I guess, but that cussed Heinie gas is still sticking in my left lung, and it's hard to plug at 30 below." The men were plodding through eighteen inches of feathery snow, in an effort to reach " blighty" for Thanksgiving. As far as their sight could penetrate everything was white, of the everlasting whiteness — no shadow of an outline of hill or coulee. One could not know even when the top of a hill was reached until the descent began on the other side. Little teasing whimperings of wind sounded eerily — as handfuls of dust like • snow were picked up by unseen fingers and tossed into their faces. " You know, old man, it's been four years since I run this trail, and the snow and darkness fools me." " Four years! Hemingway, is it four years since we left? I thought it was just last . spring. You never told me. Four years I— why — I must have been daffy longer than I ingway kept hold of his companion's arm, helping him along where the going was worst. " Maybe if you would tell me something about my folks it would help me to remember." A strong wind had jumped up and the men had all they could do to breast it. With lowered heads they plunged into the storm. "Look, Buddy! By George, there's a light. I believe it is our house. At least it must be near to it, anyway. A little more fight, old chap, and we'll be there." A pale yellow light of a kerosene lamp shone *out across the snow. A dog's deep bay — and a house suddenly loomed in front of them. They paused a moment at the door. " God! Buddy, a moment at the door. " Buddy, I'm that scared I can't knock.' They don't expect me and — and — I don't know." " Is this your house, Hemingway?" " No — I don't know. If it is, it's changed some. I think it's mine — but can't be sure. I tremble to see the change of Kate and the kiddies. Does it look familiar to you, Buddie? " " I don't know." The two men stood trembling with excitement outside the lgihted window. A dog came loud mouthed around the door, hesitated, and sniffed at Buddy and was now standing a pace away looking at him eagerly. There was a sound in the house as of someone moving a chair, and the faint notes of an organ came stealing out ac^ companied by the sweet treble of a woman's voice singing, " Lead Kindly Light." Buddy took a step nearer as if drawn by a spell. The movement cause dthe dog to spring joyously upon him," causing him to slip and lose his pack. " Down! Keep down — why — it's — keep —" and the snow filled fur of the old Collie was wet against the eager face of Buddie. With a cry he was at the door and tearing it open, "Mother!" A frail old lady turned from the organ and faced him. Before she had time to rise he had her in his arms. " Thank God," said the forgotten Hemingway, as he stepped outside and closed the door. He knew -where he was now. A short run down the hill and he would be home. As he turned away from the house he glanced at his wrist watch. Two o'clock. " By golly, I made it! I said I would eat turkey at home this Thanksgiving, and I'm here." He picked up a handful of snow and tried to crush it in his mittens, but it fell in a spray from his hands. " Some cold for Thanksgiving." The clouds parted and a moon looked down on a scene of wonderous beauty: mauve and purple shadows melting into brown, and miles of diamond crusted hills and coulees rising to misty mountains. The sharp staccato and wail of the soon-song of the coyote came. An answering chorus of a rival hunt pack and Hemingway saw for the second time that night a light shining out across the snow. He stood at the door of his cabin. His — he could see now. There was a light inside and a fire burning. He hesitated a moment and — and again he heard a woman singing, but this time it was the voice of the woman he loved. Soon two childish voices joined in.

THESPIANS Last Thursday evening the Thespians held their semi-monthly meeting. The regular business of the club was discussed and future plans arranged. Though the refreshments were locked in the lunch room downstairs, supposedly safe, it was found that a mysterious stranger was also locked in. Before he could be caught the prowler escaped through the window, but did not take the refreshments.

We wish you, one and all, a happy Thanksgiving. In the September number of the elementary School Journal is an editorial on a study made by Edna Clyne while a student at the Normal. It is a discussion of penmanship in the lower grades. Miss Clyne thought of becoming a supervisor of writing, but there were some things not clear to her, so she proceeded to collect data. After observing several hundred pupils she concluded that writing as taught did not function in the lower grades. She quotes from studies made in Detroit and other places.

WlIEKAHIKO - R A W E I , OF SAaroAX ISLANDS GIVES AN INSTRUCTIVE LECTURE ON NATIVE CUSTOMS AND ART Dr. Wherahiko Rawei, the distinguished native of New Zealand, who has devoted his life to teaching the inhabitants of the South Sea Islands, delighted the students in assembly Monday by speaking on the arts and crafts of the native islanders. Dr. Rawei was a friend of Robert Louis Stevenson, and spent much time with the author on his visits to the South Seas. Dr. Rawei contends that the magnificent scenery of these islands far surpasses anything in the other possessions of the United States. It has been but 75 years since the inhabitants of the islands were man-eating cannibals, yet they have advanced tremendously along educational lines. The natives of the island of Tutuila discovered the art of making cloth. The only garment previously worn was a plain reed girdle. A woman conceived the idea of making cloth from the bark of a certain tree. She worked with this until she finally had a piece of cloth that far surpassed the reed girdle. The people were not content with this plain garment, however, so the women decorated (Continued on page 2.) IS NORMAL PAYS HONOR TO EX-SERVICE MEN AT ASSEMBLY The lectures given in the assembly Wednesday morning were very appropriate for Armistice Day, which is being celebrated throughout the United States. The speech of the morning was that of Major W. D. Kirkpatrick, a trustee of the Normal School. He spoke interestingly of his experiences in Archangel, Russia, as medical director and Red Cross worker at the time the armistice was signed. He also plead for a broader and deeper comprehension of democracy in our country. He expressed the hope that the future teachers of the world would hold truly high ideals of government. Mr. Albert Fox, of the Business Department of this school, gave a lively address on his experiences in France, ending with the hope that we would not forget soon the sorrows and agonies of the terrible war. Humorous, witty and touching remarks were made by the ex-service students of our school. Dr. Nash called them forward with the request that each relate his particular emotions he experienced on Armistice Day. The following responded: Clinton Pruner, of the naval unit, S. A. T. C. reserve, Seattle; Arthur Bowsher, of the U. S. N. station, Seattle; Archie Erickson, marine recruiting station, Seattle; Alvan Hannah, naval unit S. A. T.

EVANS LECTURE IS WELSH ORATOR IS GIVEN AN OVATION BY NORMAL " Lords of the Land " was the title of-a stirring lecture given by Arthur Walwyn Evans, Welsh orator, as the second number of the Normal lecture course, Tuesday evening. Dr. Evans told of the eternal struggle between the "blue blood and the red." The struggle against aristocracy and the privileges of feudalism was one in whicli his grandfather took part by leaving the land upon which his people had lived for four hundred years because of refusal to support " His Lordship," in the election. The Boer war was for the (Continued on page 2.) PHILO THESPIANS TO CLASH THIS FIRST INTER-CLUB GAME TO BE HELD THIS AFTERNOON AT 4 O'CLOCK Much Interest Shown This afternoon at 4 o'clock the students will have an opportunity to see the first basketball game of the year when the Philos and Thespians lock horns in the small gym. Admission is free to all so a record-breaking crowd may be expected. This is but the first of a series of inter-club games that will be played in the few remaining weeks before the regular season opens. The following is announced as the possible lineup for this afternoon's game: PIIIT-OS THESPIANS Wright f Erickson Hannah f Powell Bohanon c Wolters Bowsher g Karlson A. Rosenhall g Pruner PHILOS ENTERTAIN AI FIRST CLUB PROGRAM GIVEN ON NOVEMBER 5—IS DECIDED SUCCESS Coming forward with the usual pep and ever-readiness, the Philomathean Literary Society put on an interesting and delightful program in assembly last Friday. After the announcements were made, Eva Bond, president of the Students' Association, turned over the assembly to Herbert Hansen, president of the Philos. The program was as follows: Two readings by Helen Marshall; harp solo by Thora Linrud; history of the Philo Club, Nora Cummings; violin solo by Gladys Weir, accompanied by Mary McAnally. The program was concluded by a short speech by Dr. Nash, who refused to tell how long he had been a Philomathean, for it might give some clue to his age.

This goods, made of the wood pulp, would not survive the tropical rains. A inore serviceable material was found which consisted of a reed which could be split into long threads and then plaited into the one-piece garment worn by the natives. This was improved until a remarkably fine piece of work was the result. A wedding on the island is a very special occasion and people come from all over the islands to see it. The arrangements for the wedding are made entirely by the fathers of tiie children. Dr. Rawei gave an interesting sketch of the school life of the islands. School is held under the cocoanut palms. The common subjects such as reading, writing and arithmetic are taught, also the English language. The children go to schools in canoes, singing as they go. The songs are echoed again and again among the cliffs. Dr. Rawei is not only an author but is also a musician of unusual ability. He sung in the native language. Dr. Rawei tertained the students with several songs sung i nthe native language. Dr. Rawei also demonstrated the cannibal war dance. ARMISTICE DAY ASSEMBLY (Continued from page 1.)

Elmer Carlson, in service at the U. S. naval station, Bremerton, and Raymond Provost, are men of the service who were not in the assembly. The enjoyment of the morning was much added to by the appearance of Dr. Arthur W. Evans, who in his characteristic fashion emphasized the need of discipline in this after-war crisis of the world. The assembly singing was accompanied by Miss Gladys "Weir and Mr. Samuelson on the violin and Miss Dorothy Jones on the piano. Steam? (Eror MONDAY — One-act play presented by Mr. Hoppe.

Dr. Evans told of his intimacy with and reverence for Gladstone, England's " grand old man." Although a Welshman by birth, educated in England and Scotland, Dr. Evans is an American by adoption. He shows that although there remains much to be improved in this nation, there is a great deal for which to be thankful. " There is no nation in the world in which the average man has greater opportunities," he said. He went on to say that in the future we must place a greater emphasis on intellectual and moral qualities. We must have an aristocracy based on these things rather than upon material wealth. Dr. Evans believes that the greatest problem of the schools of today is to build up moral strength. " We do not study the Bible in school here in America; perhaps necessarily. But we must substitute some form of moral training in its place. Smoke Fires The Thanksgiving season is of particular interest this tercentenary year, so the children in the primary department are preparing a playlet to be given Tuesday, November 30, at 10 o'clock in assembly hall. The first scene shows children playing Indian and asking for a story of Thanksgiving. The characters appear showing an Indian Thanksgiving. The smoke fires rise as the story progresses.

Junior High School Notes The members of the Junior High School at the Normal have organized four clubs, Girl Scouts, Handicraft, Boy Scouts and Boys' League. Regular meetings are held each Friday at 3 o'clock. The clubs took advantage of the pleasant weather and had outings dulling the week end. The Boy Scouts went to Happy Valley, the Boys' League to the top of Chuckanut, the Girl Scouts to Chuckanut Point. Rumors are abroad that bacon, eggs, sandwiches and other good things were abundant. Other trips will be made if the weather man is kind. The Handicraft Club is publishing a paper as a project in the printing shop. The girls in the club are enthusiastic over basket making and other types of handwork. An operetta entitled "The Princess" will be presented in the auditorium on Friday afternoon, November 19th, by the Junior High School. Some of the interesting features will be the solos by Bernice Musser and Merle Kibbe, the Sailor's Chorus, the Canoe Song by the ten Indian maids, the Indian Feast Dance, and the attractive Indian costumes.

The country newspapers appear to have a worse time than the Messenger, at least, such seems to be the condition indicated by the following which is crediated to the Country Press: " When the plumber makes a mistake he charges twice for it. " When a lawyer makes a mistake he has a chance to try the case all over again. " When a carpenter makes a mistake it's just what he expected. " When a doctor makes a mistake he buries it. " When a judge makes a mistake it becomes the law of the land. " When a preacher makes a mistake nobody knows the difference. "But when an editor makes a mistake — good night." The last part, however, is not quite true. It is good night — but there is no blissful sleep accompanying it. For this reason, we feel justified in asking some people to take a course in penmanship or use the typewriter. From our point of view the typewriter is vastly superior to any form of penmanship. Everyone who has has name in print likes to see it spelled correctly, so we ask you to use more care in writing the items you drop in the Messenger box.

SOME LIGHT ON THAT BEAUTY CONTEST Before this copy of the Messenger is in your hands the Normal School beauty contest will be over. We can not help wondering if it will not turn out somewhat like the following: " We had a contest to decide the prettiest girl in our graduating class of 400." " How did it turn out? " " One girl got two votes." At least every girl is sure of her own vote, and it then remains for the few boys to pick the winner.

Refreshments consisted of dates with nuts (old maids not being able to secure any other kind of dates), pumpkin pie, lemonade, and hearts. Just before retiring, kisses and love pills were scattered generously to them. It is reported that the doctor ordered these pills to be given again at 2 A.

Juvenile Library Exhibit Can you ever forget the peace day celebration of two years ago? How mad with joy the people were! What a relief the news brought to tense nerves! The joy and relief in the war worn countries of Europe found vent in many ways. The great national painters of these countries were commissioned by their governments to preserve on canvas a record of the great day. Through the kindness of Miss Wilson, we can see, in the juvenile library, reproductions of these famous pictures. This is an exhibit such as you have never seen before; it demands your attention.

MIMIIIMI nun i i i urn IIIIIINIIIIIII mmiiiiiiiimiii iiraimii i imum i mi mi .- Do you remember how you earned your first dollar? Would you believe that one of the most dignified feminine members of our faculty earned hers by plying a cross-cut saw? We recommend these confessions on the part of the faculty to the study of the student body. Much instruction should be gathered from it; also some amusement if an attempt is made to fit the incident to the instructor. " When I was nine years old," quoth one sage mmeber of our department of education, " I grated horseradish with "a hand grater and carried it five miles to town to sell to a hotel keeper." Many of our instructors began life on a farm. Dropping corn, harvesting, weeding, driving home the cows, hoeing corn and "stripping" sugar cane are among the ways which they earner their first money. "My first money was earned by harvesting that perennial crop of stones which came up in the fields every spring," said one. " I earned almost a dollar working on my uncle's field, hoeing corn," said one member of the extension department. " My uncle paid me by giving me his note for the amount, to my great satisfaction. On my way home I showed it to my grandfather, who was justice of the peace. Grandfather had earned quite a reputation as a practical joker. He suggested that I sue my uncle for the amount. Our suit was successful — to the great disgust of my uncle." Selling soap and perfumery seem to have proved profitable. One member of the training school corps says that she earned her first dollar finding eggs on a basis of owning one out of each dozen found. Since, according to her account, eggs then sold for about ten cents a dozen, she did not become rich at once. " I blacked boots in the city," said one of our most beloved teachers. " I served as messenger boy for ten dollars a month," said one of the most widely known of the faculty. " Well, really, it is so long ago I have forgotten," said one harrassed teacher. " My parents offered me the ' off-color ' chickens on the place, provided that I would get them ready for the market. In my haste I did not wait till evening, but caught them as they ran at large in a five-acre lot. I believe I earned the money." We have all been told that "great things come from small beginnings," but few of us really knew it until now. Michael Hendershott How many of us who appreciate the extraordinary beauty of our campus, realize that much of the charm of arrangement and most of the care is due to a man who admits he loves trees, flowers, and velvety grass above everything — except little children ? Mr. Michael Hendershott has been superintendent of the Normal grounds for ten years. During that time he has built up from the rough the north end of the campus in front of the Science Annex Building, solid rock having been blasted in places to even the ground. Many of the shrubs and about a dozen trees have been planted by him. Every year he has assisted Miss Baker with her agricultural gardens. Mr. Hendershott's life has not been uninteresting. He was born in Michigan in 1858. In 1888 he came west and lived the life of a pioneer in Skagit County, being here two years before he saw a buggy. After living in Skagit County for fourteen years he moved to Bellingham where he became very much interested in the controversies between the four little towns which now are joined together in Bellingham. Mr. Hendershott can tell many stories of frontier life, including adventures with Indians which he himself witnessed during his life here in the West. Mr. Hendershott has many hobbies: Collecting books and magazines, good music, plants, poultry and above all, children. He plays the violin. His ambitions are to improve himself as much as he can and to be able to go to Southern California every winter. As to politics, Mr. Hendershott was born and raised a Republican, but says that he votes now according to the dictates of his conscience. By OLGA K. BROTNOV BUSINESS GIRLS' LEAGUE The Business Girls held their second, meeting November 3rd. The attendance was so large that the seating capacity of room 308 was insufficient. The following program was rendered: Piano numbers, "Spring Showers" (Ffek), "Return of Spring" (Moelling), Mildred Nuttall; Reading, Cecile Stevens; The Minimum Wage for Women, Clara Sachtler; Survey of the Recreational Opportunities of the Business Girls, Miss Woodard; Reading, "The Sea^Weed," Florence Swanson. The first social event of the year will be held November 20th. At the regular meetings the League is planning to study the- condition of women in industry. Y. W. C. A. FELLOWSHIP WEEK Next week, beginning Sunday, the Young Woman's Christian Association throughout the world will observ Fellowship' Week. Uniting with all the others, groups of Y. W. girls of our school will meet at an appointed hour each day in prayer for missions. They will consider a certain country each day in discussion and prayer, thus lifting up the work of missions, the world over. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1920 November 12 - Page 7 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1920 Faculty Notes Have you noticed the rested, peaceful air which certain of our instructors wore last Monday morning? It can be explained by taking into account the week end rest which Miss McDonald, Miss Mildred Moffat, Miss Longley and Miss Crawford enjoyed at Mr. Kol-stad's cottage on Lake Whatcom. The beauty of the lake and still woods, and the total absence of Normal students seem to have a good effect. # * * Miss Wallace and Miss Gordon spent a portion of Saturday at the lake. Miss Morse and Miss Cales were the guests of the campers for Sunday dinner. # * * Miss Beardsley spent an afternoon last week doing her share to reclaim the land from the wilderness. Her potato patch is doing famously. # * * Miss Mead and Miss Cummins entertained Miss Morse and Miss Cales at tea Sunday evening. * * * Mr. Bond spoke at Van Wyck Wednesday night. * * * Miss Boring still appears in the library periodically with an armful of books and pictures to donate. The librarian says she has formed the habit. Her generous, helpful attitude is one which should be appreciated by students and faculty. * # # Mrs. Thatcher entertained Miss Crawford, Miss Wallace and Miss Keeler at tea Sunday evening. * # * Mr. Weir, Mr. Klemme and Miss Keeler will be the principal speakers at Island County institute Thursday and Friday. * * * Miss Earhart spent the week end in Portland. * # * A Mystery: We have been unable to ascertain just what goes on beyond the doors of the sewing room from 11:55 to 1 o'clock. Can someone lend a clue? * * * While visiting school last week Dr. Bagley spent some time in the training department; he also visited Mr. Hunt's geography class, and Mr. Bond's class in arithmetic. Dr. Bagley expressed great appreciation over the work done in our school. Mr. Coughlin has been sent by the extension department to Sultan, Washington, to discuss with the people there, the co-operative effort in building a community hall. PRACTICAL TESTS TO BE GIVEN In order that all students may be sufficiently prepared for their future school work, a special examination will be held in the four common branches pertaining to actual grade work, history, arithmetic, spelling and geography. So many students after leaving the grade school, leave the fundamentals of these four subjects far behind, and take up higher branches of these subjects — therefore every student will have the opportunity to be examined in these four subjects. A special test is being prepared by faculty members, and will be given next week. Every student that plans to teach one of the four subjects named will be requested to take the test. " School days, school days, dear old golden rule days —" But not to the tune of the hickory stick. Do you know what our children are doing? They are bringing feathers to school. Feathers of all colors, kinds and dimensions. And, furthermore, a premium is ]3laced upon them. Oh, happy, free school days of 1920! The students are getting ready for a Thanksgiving operetta, " The Indian Princess," and they need feathers! The operetta is progressing rapidly and well. The interest of the children is keen and their enthusiasm pronounced — but more about that later. Following are two four-sentence compositions by a little girl in the sixth grade. Notice the direct simplicity: OUR BABY Father knew our baby couldn't understand him, but he said to the baby, " You must sit up straight, James Edward." Then father put the baby in the rocking chair and rocked him without holding him. The baby didn't even fall over; he just sat up straight and looked serious. VIRGINIA'S NIGHTMARE Once Virginia dreamed that she was among some fairies. Mother heard her say in her dream, " Oh mother! There's a fairy, and it is going to turn me into an elf, and it's a real fairy, too!" The next morning mother told us about it, and Elizabeth teased Virginia about it for a long time. Our Girl Scouts are real scouts. Last Saturday morning, under the supervision of Miss Morse and Miss Coles, they hiked to Chuckanut Point and back in three hours. They observed the different kinds of trees and plant life of the woods. Their good time is well summed up in the expression of one of the girls: " I 'm glad I'm a Girl Scout." The question, " How long is a piece of string?" might be said to be flippant, yet it's inevitable logic has its place. It isn't always easy to play teacher and have questions put to you for you to answer. So when one of our fifth grade boys, acting in the pedagogic role the other morning was asked the question, " Why is Chicago a great railroad cent e r ? " he just naturally answered, "because so many railroads go there." NEW ENCYCLOPAEDIA ADDED TO LIBRARY The library is the richer for the recent acquisition of the latest edition of the Encyclopaedia Americana, a complete work in thirty small handsome' volumes. We now have the modern editions of several of the best encyclopaedias to be found anywhere, among which are Encyclopaedia Britannica and the Nelson's Loose Leaf and New International Encyclopaedias. These reference works contain specific information. Many students forget that the subject matter is organized under general heads, so that to find a specific thing the index is the quickest route. Besides these helps to students there are nearly adoz en encyclopaedias of special subjects, such as art, music and botany. The reference room is full of tools which will help you to find short cuts to the information for which you are searching, if you will but us them. Y. W. C. A. Last Thursday Dr. Nash spoke to a large number of girls at the Y. W. C. A. meeting. He brought the message from the chapter " Gwenn and Her Canyon Flowers," from Ralph Connor's " The Sky Pilot." The lesson drawn from it was that when disappointments and hardships or suffering come to us we should not become discouraged, but feel that they are all for our best and that through them something will be gained. The solo "Bow Down Thine Ear," sung by Pearl Ingalls, was much enjoyed. WATCH R E P A I R I N G CHAS. F. RUNNER At Mathes Book Store 110 WEST HOLLS STREET PHONE 648 RES.

Circus " cirked " there for the day. Early in the morning of the exciting day, busy and long-suffering clowns exhibited in clown jargon the events that were to be seen on the circus grounds. Bill Board, the head clown, proclaimed ihusly from his perch: " Ladies and gentlemen: Today you may see sights that you have never seen before. Step this way and you will see our famous horse fly. Only a step or two away you may see our cake walk and also our great board walk. " The hat band will play both morning and evening and during the performance the cigar band will furnish our entire stage music. " Folks, you never heard such good dog language as our barking tree. You may see the dish rag in the main tent if the kindling wood usher you in. " During the performance some of the trees may be leaving, but if you'll stay you may see the hat and the pepper box. You may not be able to find a good seat, my friends, but the milk can, I am sure. " Come this way, step right in, ladies and gents," and with that the crowd crowded some. The performance opened wide and the side shows showed. On one side every one could buy fresh cones of excellent cold cream. There were races in which Atlanta, Georgia, took part, but she was very disappointed to find that the egg beater. One small boy stepped on a lady's skirt and it was terrible to see the prune whip him. One scene in a domestic play was startling, for. the people actually saw the kitchen sink out of sight. All this time the lady bareback rider was dusting her whip with an oil cloth. Some boys tried to get in without tickets and the manager was forced to send his men out to re-gard the gate! A prominent citizen on the hard bench was a little bored and fell to reading his wall paper. Excitement 'was present when the powder came puffing into the ring. A flirty girl and a potato masher struck a match and a cop copped them, but when he found they had a suit case on each other, decided to give them his co-op! At the candy booth Mr. A. V. Aater watched the stair way out some candy and feeling that he was being cheated cried out, " You are found wanting," and immediately went straight up. Numerous boats were at the pleasure of the patrons and the court ship was busy all day. Toward evening the lantern jawed clown lit on the lamps and the races were run when the snap shot sounded. The performance ended when the hat band rendered " Good Night Shirt" and the strains were painful as they heard night fall over the city. Miss Olive Edens of our English department recently sold a short story to the Metropolitan Magazine. Miss Edens is faculty advisor and sponsor for the Messenger. She will serve in the same capacity for the Klipsun as soon as work is started on that publication. Students will watch with interest the current issues of the Metropolitan Magazine in order to enjoy this and any other short stories that Miss Edens may write — Ed. words of wisdom and showed clearly the good points as well as the defects of the program. She upheld especially the quartette. Mr. Hansen, president, announced that the annual birthday party and alumni reunion would be held November 20 at the home of Mr. Philippi, 919 High. A stormy conflict took place at Philo meeting on November 4. The question was, " Resolved, that Women Have Greater Mental Capacity than Men." Evelyn Frazier and Bernice Day stoutly maintained that the popular sex at Normal was head and shoulders over the sterner aggregation. Alvin Hannah and Madeline Xitco boosted the superiority of men. Miss Xitco's speech was unusual to say the least, but she argued as one absolutely in harmony with her views. Before the debate Dora Agee gave two excellent solos and Eleanor Simpson surprised everyone with a veiy realistic child reading. Then the Philo quartet after a muttered consultation charmed the club with some selections, among which was a melodious bass solo.

By discouraged young teachers of this district who are tussling with their first problems in the school room, Miss Keeler has been compared to the fairy who appears and magically dispels what promises to be dispair. When students leave school, our alma mater has no intention of allowing them to face their problems alone, Miss Keeler is kept on the field. Her particular work is designated " follow-up" work. She visits the schools, consults with principals, superintendents and teachers as to school problems. Then she keeps in touch with the problems of the individual school and sends suggestions. Helpful material of all kinds is constantly going out from her office. Like the hub of a wheel, Miss Keeler's work is felt throughout the entire school system. Then, too, she conducts round table discussions with groups of teachers, learns their particular problems and needs and helps to solve them. She watches the individual teacher, goes over lesson plans with her, and keeps in touch with the teacher until she is sure of herself. Also, if a teacher wishes a better position, Miss Keeler looks for an opening. If someone is needed for a P.-T. A. gathering, Miss Keeler is always ready with her services. Then, she suggests a daily program with a one-room teacher. In fact, Miss Keeler is a general encyclopaedia on all school problems. She comes into the school room to help to encourage. With her charming personality, she has won her way into the hearts of all whom she lias met. The effect of her presence is like the sudden tang of mountain air to one who has been isolated to a strenuous, stuffy, busy, city. Wherever she goes, Miss KeKeler is welcomed with glad hearts and leaves in her wake, hope, courage, good cheer and something to think about. — FLORENCE L. SWANSON H. Goodell—BOUCHER—Edith H.

XX BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5r 1920 NO. 6 BAGLEY IS VISITOR AT A TWO ADDRESSES GIVEN BY EDUCATIONAL LEADER FROM COLUMBIA Author of Many Books Dr. Wm, Chandler Bagley, prominent author, educator and recognized authority on normal schools, gave three remarkably interesting addresses to the student body this week. He plead for the highest standard in training of teachers, for the recognition of teaching as an ultimate job, and for the elevation of the rural school. " Teaching is the noblest of professions and the sorriest of trades," said Dr. Bagley. " The teacher who sees in teaching a field of problems and opportunities for rendering service finds teaching has its rewards," he continued. Mr. Bagley identified teaching with the fine arts. Fine arts are essentially creative and constructive in character. Teaching is essentially a personal process. The teachers' product is more than the mere addition of race experience to life of infant. The teacher has the opportunity to weave her personality into her work. " In thinking of teaching as a fine (Continued on page 2.) $126.40 IS CONTRIBUTED BY STUDENTS AND FACULTY We are pleased to report the amount raised in our school for the Salvation Army drive totaled $126.40, the largest contribution being $5.00. There were a number of $2- and $2.50 subscriptions, and not a few $1 contributions. The Salvation Army is doing a big work among needy people. Christmas of 1919 five hundred dinners were distributed in Bellingham and three hundred children enjoyed a Christmas tree that they otherwise would not have had, each child receiving a useful gift of clothing, some toy and candy. ALUMNI PROMINENT IN WHATCOM COUNTY CLUB AT U Opportunity Knocks Not only once, but many times — but when it does, don't knock in return. Instead, grab quick and hold tight, or opportunity may slip away from you. This is your golden opportunity to appear in print as a short story writer or poet. Write that Thanksgiving story for the Messenger and you will have a great deal to be thankful for when Thanksgiving Day rolls around. GIVEN TO NORMAL ADDITION TO MUSEUM CONSIDERED VERY VALUABLE IS THE RED SCHOOLHOUSE VS. THE RED FLAG " TO BE HIS SUBJECT The biological collection of the late Dr. Knapp was presented to the Normal School October 30 by Miss Emma L. Lamkin, neice of Dr. Knapp. The collection contains 1,050 shells, which have been gathered through a number of years from all parts of the world. There are 52 star fish and other marine forms and 26 jars of specimens preserved in formaldehyde; also eight volumes descriptive of the collection. This is a wonderfully valuable contribution to our museum and the school is deeply grateful to Miss Lamkin for this gift- Great Events at Smokeless Smoker At the first meeting of the Whatcom County Club held at the University, October 20, Albert Hennes, well known Normal alumnus, was elected president. Yes! great events took place last Friday night in the big gymnasium. It was that big smokeless smoker that you all have heard about. This was the second smokeless smoker the Hyliu Yaka-nati have ever given. The first one was given late last year and took well with the boys. It also took well this time. The program went in this order: 1 — Weight demonstration, Mr. Kreid-ler. 2 — Wrestling, Mr. Reed vs. Mr. Kreidler. 3 — Music, Mr. Samuelson and Mr. Rosenhall. 4 — Boxing bout, Mr. Hannah vs. Mr. Powell. 5 — Boxing demonstration, Mr. Daly vs. Mr. Bittle. 6 — Boys' quartette, Mr. Erickson, Mr. Samuelson, Mr. Allison, Prof. Coughlin; Mr. Rosenhall, accompanist. 7 — Refreshments. Refreshments were chiefly furnished by our own well known Mr. Tweit — and the entire club wishes to thank Mr. Tweit for his efforts. Those present were: Dr. . Nash,, Messers. Coughlin, Kibbe, Heckman, (Continued on page 2.) Dr. Arthur Walwyn Evans, distinguished Welsh orator, speaks in our auditorium Tuesday evening, November 9. His subject will be " The Red School-house vs. the Red Flag." There is ample cause for Dr. Evans tremendous success as a platform speaker. He knows intimately the people and problems of two great nations, and he fearlessly prescribes for the diseases that threaten the life-blood of these two great nations and the English-speaking peoples of the world. Sometimes the pill is a mighty bitter one to swallow, for Evans has no time for sugar-coated palaver. Dr. Evans talks — not to please — yet he always pleases; he says things you don't like — still you crave for more; he makes statements that indicate reckless disregard for platform popularity — yet he has, in ten years since coming to America,, become one of the most popular lecturers of the day. Harrison Raymond Sings Mr. Raymond was enthusiastically welcomed by the students Friday when, accompanied by Miss Horst, he entertained with the following songs: Star Vicino Sahator Rosa Three Songs of Nature — " The Valley " Wachtmeister " There Is a Garden " Proctor "Oh, Thou Billowy Harvest Field" Rachmaninoff Encore, " Fanchonettej" Clarke Boats of Mine Miller So We'll Go no More a Rovin'..Treharne To You Rodenbeck The Icicle Bassett Didn't It. Rain Burleigh, The Normal is proud Mr. Raymond is an alumnus of our' school, and are always delighted with his music. PRE-SEASON BASKETBALL GAMES 10 BE PLAYI PHILOS AND THESPIANS ARE TO COMPETE FOR HONORS Both Teams Confident Athletic Coach Sam Carver is laying plans for an inter-club series of- basketball games as has been the custom during past years. So far, only the' Thespians and Philos have signified their intention of placing teams in the field. Practice will be started next Monday in preparation for the great contest. The date has not been definitely set and will be announced later by Mr. Carver. Last year a great deal of enthusiasm was manifested in the inter-club games. Without doubt an interesting game may be expected as several of last year's club players are back in school. This year the Philos can depend on Bowsher, Bohanon, Wright and Hannah, while the Thespians have Erickson, Wolters, Powell and Primer for a nucleus. Other players will either be found or developed. This, however, is far from the possible basketball lineup for the school team, as some letter men are expected to be back next quarter. E IN LIBRARY A l l STARTLING DISCOVERY IS MADE BY NOEL WYNNE Noel Wynne, alumnus and present assistant librarian, was well nigh overcome Wednesday morning while' storing papers in the library attic. Not believing what he saw, he summoned the Messers Bowsher and Hansen. The mystery in question was an edition of the Bellingham Sentinel (extinct) in which the extreme age of Bellingham was discovered as was the age of Charley Chaplin. (Girls, take notice!) Said paper was dated Friday, August 31, 1817! It contained writeups of the world war and a play in which Chaplin was featured, that was coming to one of the local theaters. Perhaps the world war referred to was the Napoleonic wars of that date. Bellingham is quite old, evidently. Who'da thunk it? " This coffee is just like mud." " Of course — you know it was ground only this morning. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1920 November 5 - Page 2 ---------- 2 THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER, 5, 1920 DR. BAGLEY IS NORMAL VISITOR (Continued from page 1.) art," said Dr. Bagley, " the most consummate expression of the art is the teacher who is doing work under greatest handicap." The speaker said that teaching is an ultimate job. The jobs must be made so attractive that young men and young women will enter them as a life career. The thing to break up is the idea that advancement in teaching is getting out of teaching. The true artist in whatever field he works has tremendous respect for his materials. The teacher must respect his materials. The elementary curriculum is composed of the most precious and treasured materials that the race has brought out. Teachers are trustees of this great heritage. We have the privilege of introducing boys and girls to this great treasure. The master artist is one who has the mastery of his material. The teacher must strive to master his materials. Mr. Bagley is author of the following books, all of which may be found in our library: " Class Room Management," " Craftsmanship in Teaching," " Educational Values," " Educative Process" and " School Discipline." Dit. BAGI.KY TALKS TO FACULTY From three until five Tuesday afternoon Dr. Bagley spoke to the faculty. His address was informal but impressive. Later, the faculty, with Dr. Bagley a.j guest of honor, were entertained at tea in the faculty room, served by Mirres Longley and Clarke of the home economics department. returning in a very short time to that city, and we were indeed fortunate to have him with us. A few failed to attend. To say the least, they missed a good time, and, if they have no excuse, might be classified as poor sports. — PRES. ARCHIE ERICKSOST 10 PRESENT PLAY Miss Hatch, who is teaching in an Indian school in Alaska has been quite ill, but is now on the road to recovery. GREAT EVENTS HAPPEN AT SMOKELESS SMOKER (Continued from page 1.) Philippi and Carver, of the faculty; Messers. Daly, Kreidler, Reed, Bittle, Alfred, Rosenhall, Tweit, Primer, Erick-son, Samuelson, Howard, England, Hannah, Bohannah, Wright, Powell, Allison, Sforlie and Karlson. The demonstrations by Mr. Daly, Mr. Reed, Mr. Kreidler and Mr. Bittle were very interesting, and the best physical demonstration that ever appeared at the Normal. These men are all professional men, all come to us through the Y. M. C. A. with the exception of Mr. Kreidler who came from San Francisco.

" Wallace Reed is my favorite actor, for he is so good looking and original," is the woman's judgment as stated by Eula Brown. "Yes, and natural and clever," added Catherine Shepherd. "All the world loves a lover, and Wallie is a wonder," said Marion McAnally. " He is so full of the dickens," added Eleanor Simpson. From these statements it can be seen what is required of the popular man of today. So, boys, put forth your best foot. It's a big undertaking. For Louise Nelson has just. said, " Wallace Reed is 'the perfect man.'" Not only is he a feminine favorite, but claims one lone admirer among the boys — Archie Erickson confesses his preference because " Wallie is so up-to-date." Constance Talmadge and Dorothy Gish vie for first place among women artists of the screen. Eva Bond gives " Con" preference. " She has so much pep and is so full of life." " She is individual and different," quoted stately Marion Chisholm, and it's our private opinion that there's a resemblance in those two. Would you believe that Pearl Ingalls likes " Con" for the " little divil in her eye," and because she absolutely " vamps the men?" Again Archie confesses (come on now, Archie, 'fess up), "Well — she reminds me of an old friend of mine." On the other hand we shall state the case of Dorothy Gish. Ed Walters goes in for dramatics, so Dorothy is his favorite. Marion McAnally: " People say, ' Twins in a good many ways,' so I can't help liking her." " She is such a good comedian," says. Eleanor Simpson. " Dorothy Gish is so changeable in her acting; I like her best," agreed Ethel Southerland. Charles Ray has won a number of hearts. Eva Bond claims, " I like him because he is funny." Noel Wynne, " Charles doesn't try to put over that ' hero stuff.' " Then Lawrence Wright said, " Charles is so true to life." Do you suppose that it is the funny or the non-hero type of man who is so true to life? Can't be bo'th. . There's some fallacy there. " Dr. Nash, who is your favorite movie actress?" we asked our genial president. "Do you like Theda Bara?" " Who is she?" he queried. " The Vamp." "Oh no! no! not that one. I like Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Fairbanks." Miss Woodard agrees with Dr. Nash. " You might as well ask me my favorite disagreeable medicine. However, of all I like Mary and Doug, best." Few there are who like the deep romantic beauty types. Dorothy Jones has It takes a thorough scientific examination to show the t r u e condition of your eyes. This is the kind that Woll, t h e Optometrist, makes. 205 West Holly Street. as her ideal Geraldine F.^rrai". Mr. Bever admires the ease and grace with which Nazimova portrays those heavy, difficult parts. He said, " She carries the acting through sustained lengths of time, yet holds the audience almost entirety in her grasp." Edna Anstett also likes Nazimova's emotional nature, while Fay Durham likes that everlasting youth which she has. " She nveer grows old," said Fay. Plucky little Pauline Bdrnstein said, "All odds are against her, yet Nazimova wins." Mr. Hoppe: " Linoel Barrymore has more tragic intensity than any other actor on the stage." John B anymore is Clinton Primer's ideal. (Remember, John is the ladies' man.) Norma Talmadge is favored by Mary Ringer and Louise Nelson, who love her dreamy eyes, strong personality, tiny size and wonderful clothes. Frank Allison was asked to express his preference. " Why, May A , of course," was his quick retort. Lavern Stuber alone admires the entrancing smile of Harrison Ford. Dorothy Seegar said, " Marguerite Clark is my choice. She is both pretty, and attractive." Lawrence Wright: "I never pay any attention to girls' names, but I like them all. They make a pretty good, peppy bunch." Dick Newton, whom do you like?" we inquired. "Dorothy J ," he replied briskly, then blushed. Irene Phipps likes J. Warren Kerrigan because he does not camouflage. Ed Walters says Bill Hart always comes to the rescue. Mr. Bever, who appears to be quite a movie fan, states that Mitchell Louis takes in a wonderful way the ennobling parts on the moral side of life, and is his favorite of masculine stars. Mary Middlekauf, "I like Jack Holt, for he has such a distinguished aristocratic air, and his plays are superior." However, we struck some obstacles in our search for favorites. There are people toho do not enjoy the movies! Miss Sperry said, " I feel as though I can give as much to, and get as much from, life, if I stay away from the movie as if I go to it, so I have no favorite." " I have no favorite, for I don't favor the movie," said Florence Swanson. " The people of today have the movie craze, and instead of employing their own creative instinct, they go to the movie to be entertained. This creates a passive attitude towards the real things of life. I am sure that people would be happier if they used their own initiative rather than to take their recreation by proxy." Herbert Hansen: " Oh, I haven't time for the movie actors. I have enough to do around here." meaning the Messenger, of course. Klipsun Committee Chosen Work has already begun on the Klipsun, the annual illustrated Senior magazine. The Klipsuns of the past .have maintained such a splendid standard that the present class feels it must put forth every effort to excel this year.

A. meeting last week Miss Keeler was elected as secretary of the Normal School section, and also as treasurer of the State Women's Executive League of the W. E. A. Miss Earhart, superintendent of the training school, was elected president of the State Woman's Executive League. Mr. Klemme was made chairman of the necrology committee. He is also a member of the executive committee of the reorganized W. E. A. representing the five higher educational institutions of the state. Juvenile Library Exhibit A splendid exhibit of pictures is being shown in the juvenile library under the direction of Miss Wilson. Last week children's pictures by Jessie Willcox Smith and Arthur Rackham were exhibited. This week a collection of pictures by J. L. G. Ferris, illustrating famous events in United States history from earliest times to the present day may be seen. Next week a group of reproductions of the works of famous artists will be shown. These pictures are not only a source of pleasure, but they are also of instructional value. This is the easiest way in which to learn pictures and an opportunity no student should miss. OHIYESAS The Ohiyesa Literary Society met last Thursday evening for a Hallowe'en party. The room was darkened and in response to the roll call each member told a ghost story. That of Miss Wallace about a lost mine in Alaska was selected as the most interesting. " Dance Macawber" was given on the Victrola and games followed. Thove interesting futures were revet Led by Miss Mayme Bogandoff the rem inder of the evening. ALKISIAHS Were you fortunate enough to catch glimpses of gay Hallowe'en sprites, coy Dutch maidens, Yama-Yama girls and their athletic heroes, even Sis Hopkins herself with her rollicking playmates as they cautiously slid into the gym last Thursday evening for the Alkisiah's Hallowe'en masquerade? Each carried a grinning jack-o-lantern as the only means of defense against manifold terrors of darkness. And valiantly did the pumpkin jacks rally 'mong black cats and witches' caldrons. Roll summoned the spirits to listen to the ghoulish delights of ghost stories and Nebuchadnezzar's shade passed mid shrieks and shivers. Not one of the time honored customs from " fortune telling" to " pumpkin pies" was overlooked. Each contributed its timely thrill. The Y. W. C. A. meeting Thursday was conducted in the form of a Bible study rally led by Miss Burdick, chairman of the Bible Study Committee. After the usual devotional services Lois Henderson gave a very valuable talk on "Why Study the Bible" and "Why Study the Bible." The answer to the first part is because it is good literature and therefore deserves as much study as other books classed as such, and second for its inspiration and devotion. THREE TONS OF POTATOES IN BASEMENT Think of three tons of potatoes, 100 pounds of beans and 200 quarts of home canned vegetables in your basement! That is what Mr. Bond of our mathematics department has in his. Mr. Bond has a small farm on which he raises big things. He has at this time 1,000-White Leghorn chickens, 500 yearlings and 500 pullets. Mr. Bond i- gt; a member of the State Poultry Association. Also on this miniature farm ate one cow, fifty new fruit trees and a dozen yellow pumpkins. Three years ago the land was cov-. ered with stumps. Hard work and perseverance have made it what it is — an improved, valuable farm. No more " shimmy " dancing!

THE CEDAR STREET PARK The Bellingham Park Board has done splendid work on the Cedar Street approach to the Normal School. The hillside from High to Garden Street is covered with shrubs, while the old stairway has been removed. The winding concrete incline has been vastly improved by the addition of small concrete cross-pieces, making the ascent to the Normal far easier than before. Many of the students who are in the habit of coming up Pine Street are not aware of this approach to the Normal. We would suggest that all students go by the Cedar Park route, especially those who have difficulty in climbing the steep stairway at Pine Street. Visitors who come oh the street car should always be brought through the Cedar Street Park. It in itself is far more beautiful than Pine Street and the view of the Normal and Sehome Hill is best from this part of the campus. By turning around at the top of the terrace one has a most excellent view of the bay and waterfront. •:•*'! ;:r"i"iWI On behalf of the students, we wish to express our appreciation to the Park Board for the work they, have done on the Cedar Street Park. No one should fail to hear Dr. Evans' lecture next Tuesday evening. He is a speaker of unusual ability and has a message of interest and! importance to all. If you miss Dr. Evans' lecture you will miss something worth while. Something to remember while you are going to school: " It is not the quantity but the quality of knowledge that is valuable." Do not forget that your Thanksgiving story must be finished by November 15. When you are through with it you might start thinking of an idea for Christmas. Time moves so fast that Christmas will be here before we realize it. " Opportunity looks for you when you are worth looking for." From now until the end of the quarter many thing will be happening. It is a good plan to get your work done early, so you may have time to participate in the various school activities. The last week of the quarter is a poor time to do the entire quarter's work. / STUDIO ART CLUB The complete membership of the Studio Art Club was represented at the meeting of October 28. A short business meeting was held. Then began the work. Pencil sketching is the subject for this -ear and members were taught how to sharpen a drawing pencil properly. Next came the practice of rendering clear cut pencil lines and shading, which is not so ~imple as it may seem. Last of all to :est their ability the students each drew a door-way of an old tumbled-down building. Some of these were dim and weird openings in solid brick, others were rickety frameworks through which the imagination traveled to the recesses of the building beyond. Through everyone of them could be seen success, and wise ones would name them " the doors to success and fame." But " all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." This is true also of Art Club members, so after the doors to success and fame were completed refreshments were served and the evening ended in laughter and gaiety. t The Studio Art Club will do great things this year and thus keep the club to its already high record.

Their rooms were beautifully decorated with Hallowe'en colors, black Oats, witches and owfls. The qnly means of illumination was jack-o-lanterns and a large moon which gave a very weird atmosphere. The invitations, place cards, menu and programs were decorated with artistic hand-painted Hallowe'en designs. After the luncheon, all enjoyed the fortune telling. The latter hours were spent in composing the house song. All pronounced a delightful time. * # # A hike before breakfast was enjoyed by the " Kitchen Cabinet" of Edens Hall last Tuesday morning. The top of Sehome Hill was reached and a superb view enjoyed. * * # The Misses McCollum entertained in a charming manner last Friday evening, celebrating " All Saints" night. The spirit of Hallowe'en prevailed in the decorations and entertainment. The fortune teller's booth was crowded at all times and the " cake of the future " caused much merriment. Those- enjoying the evening were Alice Baer, Ber-nice Broadbent, Marian Buchanan, Helen Wood, Marie Peterson, Doris O'Neil, Eunice Montague, Alta Martin, Judeth Joy, Cora Gregory, Anna Flakoy, Eunice Cobble, Esthes Chamberlain, Alma Burdick. * * * The Misses Myrtle Ellingsen and Myrtle Brue spent the week end at their homes in Stamvood. * * # The Misses Broadbent, Buchanan, Burdick, Coble, Chamberlain, Martin and Wood, after motoring to Canada with Miss Broadbent's parents from Morton, Washington, enjoyed a theatre party Saturday evening.

Coverings of crepe paper, adorned with black .cats, witches and batts, cast a grotesque shade over the rooms, while many strings of apples, tubs of bobbing fruit and problems were solved beneath that glow. The future was told by the " Prophet of the Unknown," and many and varied are the fortunes of the girls. * # * Miss Edith Hardin, daughter of Judge Hardin, of this city, and a Normal graduate in 1910, has been visiting friends here this week.

The guests were dressed in very clever costumes representing well known songs or books. After enjoying many games each guest drew his fate from the witch's caldron. Fishing Time and Fish Stories April — Dolly Varden, slender, speckled trout. May-June — Small spring trout, river fish. September-early October — Salmon trout, the finest trout about here. October-November — Silver salmon and Jack salmon. The best fishing season in the year. Christmas to February 28 for the steel head salmon, the game fish of the season. Mr. Bond of the faculty seems to be our modern Izaak Walton. For if we may believe the " fish stories " some of his associates tell on him, the above listed fish always bite his hook — in season. Educational Organizations Unite Normal students will be interested in hearing of the re-organization and merging of the two great educational organizations of the state, the Washington Educational Association and the State Teachers' League. A delegate system has been introduced. Formerly in the meetings of the W. E. A. each member present was allowed one vote. This gave an undue advantage to the section in which the meeting was held. Thus, Bellingham, which was represented by about five teachers from the grade schools and five members of this faculty, had a very small vote compared with the counties around Yakima which were fully represented, since several institutes were held in Yakima at the same time. It is hoped increased pretige and usefulness will come from this new organization. SUCH A DRY OLD SUBJECT Weather report: Rains, gales and cold snaps." The weather always was a dry subject.

They are the Tyee Wah- Wa, from Sumner High School; Ohio State Lantern, from the Ohio State University at Columbus, and The Normal Herald from Natchitoches, La. The Tyee Wah-Wa is an inteersting paper of six pages and is a credit to the school. The Ohio State Lantern is also a six-page publication. This issus deals with the new proposed stadium for the University of Ohio. They are pursuing much the same plans in soliciting funds as was taken by the University of Washington. But beside the stadium at Ohio the one at our own university will be like a high school stadium. It is to be a double-deck affair and is to embody all the modern ideas of stadium. A list of statistics concerning the stadium is printed in the paper but is too long to reproduce here. The Normal Herald has just been started. We had some difficulty in ascertaining the whereabouts of the school as the name of the city or town in which it is published does not appear, as well as other necessary information, in the usual places. In fact, it does not appear at all. It was only by a diligent perusal of the paper that we were able to discover the place of publication in an article. Last evening we came to our office with the intention of writing our Usual allotment of copy. In going over our exchanges to see what the other schools were doing, we got to reading some of the jokes. Consequently we did not get anything done. Some of the papers have splendid jokes but others — no wonder they use up their space crying for school spirit, as our editor observed last week. Quite a number of the papers do not have a single joke in them! The Ballard High School, of Seattle, defeated the team from the Lincoln High School in football last Friday. A list of the yells of the Yakima High School is printed in the Wigwam this week. We'll say they have some very peppy yells! The Trail, from the College of Puget Sound, Tacoma, has appeared again. The Manual High School, of Kansas City, Mo., is still piling up her victories in football. Some of the students of the Franklin High School, of Seattle, have organized a Playwriter's Club. From the X-Ray's calendar we gather that about all the do at the Sacramento (Calif.) High School is to give dances in the gym. Lucky dogs! The Buckley High School is to have a new swimming pool. WRITE A STORY! WIN A PRIZE! Evelyn Butlers returned with her mother to their home Saturday. Mrs. Butlers has spent the week end visiting here. Wednesday Assembly Interesting The main feature of Wednesday's assembly was the introduction of the new song books. Lead by Mrs. Thatcher, the students sang several songs — old favorites— which were enjoyed by all. Mr. Gramm, representative of the Elks Club in Seattle, talked for a few minutes telling the students of the treat in store for all mil sic lovers when Mme. Ellen Beach Yaw, famous throughout the world for her remarkable voice, accompanied by Franklin Cannon, eminent pianist, will give a concert at the American Theater next AVednesday evening, November 10th. The gallery is to be set aside for students from both the Normal and Whatcom High School. The admission will be fifty cents plus war tax for all students. The assembly ended with an educational film on " Persian Rug Manufacture." SEATTLE CLUB The Seattle Club met for the first time last Friday at 12:30. Miss Woodard presided, as the sponsor was absent. The following officers were elected: Pauline Noll, president; Mary Collins, vice president; Mathea Olson, secretary-treasurer. The club is purely social and has one big function each quarter. Any one who has lived in Seattle may become a member, so watch for the next meeting and join in the good times. " Our Own United States " is to be Shown on Screen Edward Everett Hale's famous story, " The Man Without a Country," has been filmed and will be presented in the Normal auditorium sometime in December. It consists of eight reels, and will take about two hours to produce it. The picture is offered by the Community Service Bureau of Seattle. The film has created a big impression where it has been shown, and makes a tremendous patriotic appeal. The picture is called "Our Own United States." HURRY U P ! WRITE THAT STORY!

The Fifth A Class is taking up the broad subject of transportation, learning the big railroad sys-portation, learning the big railroad systems as a background for the study of the whole United States. For instance^ the question is asked, " Why is Chicago a great railroad center ? " There is something in a question of this kind that makes the child -want to know. And so he goes to the library, eagerly, or anywhere else he can, to find out what it is that makes that particular city a great railroad center. The result is obvious. With interest keen, the child learns, with wonder and awe, about the wheat raising in the adjacent country, the stock yards, etc., and in such manner thai-he will not forget it. * # * The day of great poets is not over. Following is an original jjoem by eleven-year- old Benicia Genther: THE WITCH'S CAVE Down by the brook There's an uncanny nook Where the ghosts and the witches stay. If you watch at night, In the pale moonlight, You can see the elfins play. It's a cave cold and drear Where the shadows lurk and the owlets peer, And children who have wandered in woods at night Have often seen a pale white light; And the witches and ghosts Have caught them in hosts And carried them off in the dead of the night. * # * Black cats? Ghosts? The training-children know all about them. The cafeteria dining room presented a delightful holiday scene when the Junior High School entertained the three upper grammar grades at a Hallowe'en luncheon Friday afternoon. Pumpkins, black cats and other emblems were artistically arranged about the room and on the tables, by the children themselves. An hour of games was enjoyed in The Little Gym, after which the children marched to the cafeteria for pumpkin a la mode. Here a surprise awaited them in the form of a program presented by students from Mr. Hoppe's class. The children entered into the entire entertainment like true gentlemen and women. Miss Whitmore and Miss Collier conducted the games in a very commendable manner. * * * Heard in the history class: " The Indians attacked the settlement, killed all the colonists and forced them to march down the river." Alas! * # * Thespians and Philos have need no fear your names shall one day be no more. The natural heirs to your honors, your Normal Junior High School, is deep in the organization of clubs, calculated to meet the social needs in their school life. The clubs are four in number. Handicraft, a mixed club; Boys' Club; Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. Friendly rivalry enhances the keen competition and unique social functions are promised for the winter. HURRY UP! WRITE THAT STORY! (The following interesting letter from Professor Parish came to the Normal School last week. Due to its length, we were at first inclined to cut out a part of it, but after reading the letter, we decided it was all too interesting and print it for the benefit of students who are acquainted with Professor Parish. —EDITOR.) Anchorage, Alaska, Oct. 17, 1920. Dr. G. W. Nash, Bellingham, Wash. Dear Friend: I have been thinking about writing to you for several weeks but the pressure of work has been so great that it seemed impossible to find time to do so until today. I wish that you could see the view from my window as I sit at my desk writing this letter, or, as that is not possible, I wish that I had words adequate to picture to you what I.see. I doubt if there is any writer living who could do justice to it. My house stands on the very edge of the bluff which overlooks Cook's Inlet. Just below me on the shore of the Inglet gleam the steel rails of the Alaska Government Railway. Then come the blue waves of the Pacific, rippling over the long shallow beach as the tide comes in. Across the Inlet, which is about a mile wide here, in a long stretch of black land, and be-lond that rise a long line of snow-clad 'peaks gleaming with the pearly lustre of eternal snow. Just in a line with my great window, which faces squarely to the west, is a break in the mountain range through which flows a great river of ice, a glacier, over which the sun sets. Before leaving Bellingham I often said that the thing I should miss most was the beauty of the sunsets over Bellingham Bay. But beautiful as those sunsets are, they are not to be compared with the ones that I see here. When the sun sinks low in the Western sky, and that glacier is changed to a path of molten gold stretching away and away and ending at a curtain of cloud tinged with colors which the hand of God alone can devise, when I look out through this gateway, witli the pearly peaks gleaming on either hand, I have come to fully understand why poets have always pictured the sunset sky as the gates to Paradise, and to see the full beauty of the expression used by the soldiers in the late war for the departure of a comrade, " He went west." Surely the passing through such a gate as this can have no terror; surely He who has fashioned such beauty for the eyes of man here will not suffer one soul to be lost, but in His own good time and His own mysterious way will lead us to a country where the beauty is untroubled by man's failures and mistakes and blindness. But I have suffered the beauty which is before my eyes to carry me away from the theme on which I meant to write to you; that is, to tell you something of my experiences since I left Bellingham. Our boat was delayed for several days in leaving Seattle. We were to have sailed on the 22nd of August, but we did not get away until the morning of the 27th. Our boat, the Admiral AVat-son, was crowded, every stateroom being taken. Among the passengers were Mr. Lopp, superintendent of Indian schools for Ajlaska; Mr. Miller, the district superintendent for Southwestern Alaska, and a number of army officers connected with the Alaska railroad commission. The three school teachers for Fog-neck, on Kodiak Island ,all Bellingham students, were also on board. We had a most delightful trip; the weather being fine, the crowd congenial and the service good. Almost evrey night we had a concert on board. We reached Anchorage on the ninth day, Sunday, September 5th, but did not open school till the 8th. As the teachers were all new, we found many problems in the matter of organization, but everything was soon running smoothly. Anchorage is a peculiar city, being under the direct government of the United States, through the agency of the Alaska Railroad Commission. The school district is incorporated, but not the town. The affairs of the school are administered by a board of five members, but all public utilities, water, lights, telephone, post office, police, etc., are in the hands of the government. Our townsite is by far the finest in Alaska. It is absolutely level with space enough for a large city. The streets are wide and run straight east and west and north and south; the lots large and of uniform size; the main streets paved, and good board walks on the others. The school house is large, warm and splendidly finished and well equipped, and we are building a fine new gymnasium 60x48 which we expect to open about November 1st. We have commercial, domestic science, manual training and science rooms, all completely furnished and a small but well chosen library. Our high school is on the accredited list of the University of Washington. The law of Alaska provides for a two year's Normal course in connectoin with four-year high schools. In such a course the first year's work is to lie included in the fourth year's work of the regular high school and the second year's work is open only to high school graduates. This second year's work consists of advanced psychology, methods, review of all common branches, observation and practice teaching. We have inaugurated the first year's course and expect to have the second year's course next year, though I think it very unlikely that I shall stay here longer than the present year. There are four churches here, Episcopal, Presbyterian, Catholic and Christian Science. I have charge of the choir at the Presbyterian. I am sending you a program of a song service which we gave shortly after my arrival. The Mrs. H. S. Sogn, who played a piano solo, is the wife of Henry Sogn, who is from your home town in South Dakota, and who wished to send his best regards to you when Iwrote. He has a very fine son who is in the high school—one of my best boys. The climate here is considerably colder than I anticipated. We are cut off by a range of mountains from the warm winds that blow over the Japanese current. Today the mercury stands at about 10 degrees above zero, but the weather is delightful nevertheless. Glorious sunshine and fresh, invigorating air. We have had only two days since we came when we did not have sunshine, and there have been two light falls of snow in the night, but the snow quickly melted the following mornings. I have been somewhat surprised to find that living expenses here are less than in Bellingham or Seattle. At least we find it so. Our coal comes to us direct from the mines and the best quality costs us about $7 a ton. Our meat we buy from the commission at a price much lower than you can buy it in Bellingham. We can do this because Truman is employed there. All employees have this privilege. Today, Sunday, we have a large roast of moose meat which was given us by another old Bellingham boy, Ed Haracich. He has charge of the Indian school and the orphanage at Tionick, not far from here. This is the position formerly held by Mr. and Mrs. David Dunnegan, also Bellingham students. The Dunnegans now have a fox farm, from which they ought to make a great deal of money. Ed is married and his wife also teaches in the school. He conies to Anchorage in the launch belonging to the school to purchase supplies, and on his last trip he brought us the moose meat. Of all the wild game still found in Alaska, moose is the most delicious meat. We hope to buy a quarter soon and it can be kept here all winter. One of the wonderful sights from my window is the coming in of the ocean tide. The only place in the world where the tide is higher is in the Bay of Fundy. It varies here from 32 to 40 feet in height and comes in with an appalling rush and roar. I did not mention that we have a fine view of Mt. McKinley, the highest mountain on the continent of North America, or that we have already had some wonderful views of the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights. The lakes and rivers are all frozen over now and my young people are all going skating this afternoon. But I must bring this letter to a close, not because I could not write pages more, but that I feel that I have already taken up too much of your time.

It really is alarming, too, And readily disai'ming, too, To see how colds develop from such unsubstantial stages. The atmosphere was made, I think, To breathe and all its pureness drink, But now we have to compromise, and take just half a breath, And if we have to cough or sneeze We're asked to hold it backward, please, And then of course we sputter some, and choke most half to death. It used to be a cold or such — In fact, it wasn't really much — But now they call it something worse of undisputed fame, And wear a mask upon the nose, And mustn't even smell a rose And that's the actual way that influenza got its name!

The howl of a wolf on the mountain side, The cry of a bird afar, a falling leaf, A snapping twig, the silences come to mar. Then the master player of all the winds Begins to fondle his keys, The first soft notes of the music Drift down from the velvet trees; Then swifter the hand of the player sweeps His organ the mountains be, 'Till down from its heights rolls the mighty song Like the surf on an angry sea. The crashing chords by the master's hand Are stilled and the music dies 'Till only a sobbing is heard in the dusk Like the breath when an infant sighs, Then silence again creeps under the trees.

The silver moon, like some iria/jestic • king, Rode slowly through the sky in pompous state, And plowed the- fleecy clouds along its course Until it seemed to rest at Heaven's gate. No stars shone on this mystic fairy scene, To mingle in the pure and sacred light And still the wonder world was filled with glow From that bright chariot traveling in the night. I stood and gazed, and marveled on the view, I scarce could yet believe my eyes, But when I traced the top of Sehome Hill, I wondered was this earth or Paradise ! — L. \v'. O.

XX BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1920 NO. 5 I MEMBERS TO BE EIGHT NEW MEMBERS WILL BE ELECTED ON FIFTH OF NOVEMBER Will Serve Until May At the assembly period on November 5 the members of the 1920-21 Student Council will be chosen. Blanks are now on the bulletin board by which students may be nominated, twenty-five signatures being required to place a name on the ballot. The Student Council is an organization of eight members, selected by the school^who have charge of the conduct and descipline of the students. The Senior Class is represented by two women and one man, while the Juniors have three women and two men. General matters of discipline are submitted to the council as a whole. Special matters may be considered by separate committees of men and women. Any question of discipline may be brought to the council either directly or through the office of the president. Miss Bond, president of the Students' Association, urges the students to use extreme care in selecting the students who will have charge of school discipline during the remainder of the year. FACULTY MEN AT HIGH HIGH SCHOOL PEDAGOGUES DESIRE VOLLEY BALL CONTEST Coach Sam Carver of the Normal has received a message from the faculty men at Whatcom High School in which they challenge the faculty men at the Normal to a volley ball game. The men of the Normal /faculty are in good physical trim, as a number of them have been turning out in the little gym at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. So far, however, they have confined themselves entirely to handball and have no volley ball team organized. They have not, as yet, made up their mind whether to accept or reject the challenge. The men on the Whatcom High faculty have been turning out for volley ball with Coach Anstett of that institution. (Continued on page 2.) AT PRESIDENT IS TO BE AWAY FROM SCHOOL FOR ONE WEEK Dr. Nash has been more than busy this quarter with institute lectures and addresses in various parts of the state. For one week beginning November 15 he will be absent from school. He will give addresses at Qurnnal Lake, Humptulips, Wishka, Garrod Creek, Ososti and Ford Prairie. " It's an ill wind that blows no one good," but the students o fthe B. S. N. S. certainly miss the president when he is away; they particularly regret his absence from assemblies. ALVAN T. SIMONDS OFFERS $1500 FOR ESSAYS ON ECONOMICS Alvan T. Simonds, president of the Simonds Manufacturing Company, of Fitchburg, Massachusetts, in an attempt to encourage the study of economics, has offered two prizes, one of $1,000 and one of $500 for the two best essays on the subject, " Present Economic Conditions and the Teachings of Acjam Smith." This contest is open to pupils of high schools and normal schools only. The subject is one that is receiving great attention in all parts of the world and is vastly interesting. Adam Smith's book "The Wealth of Nations," is in our library and is accessible to all members of this school. This contest closes March first, 1921. The essays must not be less than eight thousand words! State College Will Accept Normal Work It is pleasing to know that because of the very thorough course Miss Wilson is offering in library instruction, Mr. Foote, librarian of the State College at Pullman, has advised that the college is willing to waive the library requirement in the case of graduates from the Bell-ingham State Normal School. In the case of those who are not graduates, but who have had the full library course here, the college will be glad to waive the requirement if the students will bring credentials. ADVICE TO STUDENTS LIBRARIAN GIVES SUGGESTIONS ON USE OF LIBRARY " The ability to do effective research work is the test of a student's intelligence," said Miss Wilson, our librarian, when asked how to tell a good student. Miss Wilson is one of the best trained and efficient librarians in this county. Her discrimination, intelligence and taste have built up in our school a Normal library second to none in a school of this size. " The library is a mass of organized subject matter divided into departments according to the type of books," she went on. " In each department the material is classified according to subject. Each department contains t°°ls-. " Success in research work is dependent upon the student's conception of the purpose of books, his knowledge of library methods, his backgrounds of knoweldge of the subject, his ability to work alone, and his note-taking. " In looking up a topic, decide the type of information desired — specific or general — and go t° the department of the library in which it may be found. If specific use the reference room; if general consult the catalog, shelves, periodicals and pamphlets. Consider the date of the information. " Before going to the shelves make an outline of your topic. Using cards of post card size or smaller, have one or (Continued on page 2.) FIGHT H. C. L.

SONG AND YELL RALLY SONGS ARE PRACTICED FOR BENEFIT OF NEW STUDENTS E Healthly exercise in the form of a song and yell was indulged in at assembly on Monday. The most beneficial exercise, no doubt, was that of Archie Erickson, yell king, who frantically executed the rattle-snake twist, sending the faculty chairs flying around the stage before his onslaught. I Miss Pearl Ingalls led in the singing ' of the old Normal songs, " White and i Blue " and " Our Normal Marches On." ; Much improvement was manifested in the vocal abilities of the Juniors. " COMMUNITY SERVICE ENTERTAINERS" BEING ORGANIZED Two representatives of exceptional talent along a particular line, chosen from each club in school — such is the request Mr. Weir, of the extension and community service department, sends out. These students will be organized into " The Community Entertainers." It. is the plan of Mr. Weir to have this band of young people perform at various community functions throughout the county. _, To be chosen as a member of this organization is both a privilege and honor. One-act plays are to be offered, with a competent cast, trained under the direction of Mr. Hoppe. Music, elocution, etc., are also to be included. Miss Druse Enjoys Vacation Through a letter recently received by Dr. Nash, we learn that Miss Druse is enjoying a wonderful vacation in sunny California. Among the many places of interest visited by her are Land's End, Palace of Art, at the old exposition grounds; San Francisco Art School; California School of Arts and Crafts; San Francisco Normal, San Jose Normal, Stnaford University, Berkeley Uni-. versity and Mills College. We appreciate the loyal and enthusiastic support Miss Druse is giving the B. S. N. S. for she states, " So far as normal schools are concerned, they can take off their hats to the B. S. N. S. and I am told that with the exception of Los Angeles, I have seen the best." Don't Fail to Write THAT THANKSGIVING STORY OR POEM FOR THE MESSENGER.

We might also mention in this connection that Coach Carver hopes to start regular basketball turnouts for the students a week or two before Thanksgiving. MISS WILSON GIVES ADVICE TO STUDENTS (Continued from page 1.) more cards for each subdivision. Head each card with them ain topic and the sub-topic. Leave a space at the bottom for source. " Do not take notes until you have read your article. Then pick out the important points and make note of them on the card to which they apply. Notes are worthless without the soui'ce. This should be given on each card, giving, if a book, the author, title, page and publisher; if a magazine, give the name and exact date of the periodical, the author and title of the article. " When you have collected your data, all that is necessary is to arrange your cards and your paper is practically pre pared. A bibliography may easily be made from your notes as to source. This method will save your hours of time and will simplify your reference work." Miss Keeler Is Back MEN FIGHT H. C. L. (Continued from page 1.) down — so the men decided to equip themselves with corduroy breeches when the clothing they are wearing at present gives way. Considerable discussion was aroused by the suggestion that a Normal barber shop be established. There are at least two young men in school who can cut hair, and in order to demonstrate their proficiency in this line displayed two model haircuts which had been inflicted on Bohanon and Storlie. The shop — in the locker room — will open for business immediately. HURRY UP! WRITE THAT STORY! WANTED — Student to assist with light housework for room, board and wages of $3 per week.

She reports the following former Normalites at Anacortes: Freda Garno, Olga Hagen, Lulu Schmidt, Julia Gunderson, Irene Brown, Grace Brower, all at the Columbia School; at the Nelson School: Ruth Carlyle, May Olson, Ivy Smith, Elsie Hartman, Hilda Van- Liew, Eugenia Ellis, Albert Booman, eighth grade and. principal. Whitney School: Margaret Emmons, Rowena Timmerman, Anna Olson. Doebers School: Mrs. Schanz. Gladys Cameron at the Cap Sante School. Grace Brower conducts the physical education for the first and second grades and assists with the same in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades. When questioned about her observations at Everett, Miss Keeler was enthusiastic. "A finer or more interesting-system I have not seen in operation," she said for a city of its size. It is remarkable." We quite agree with her. Following are some special features: In a centrally located school building is a special for deaf mutes, with a specially trained teacher in charge. For subnormal children, a separate school is supplied^ where the special and ungraded classes are separated. In addition, a plan of promoting pupils is practiced, whereby they may finish the entire elementary course in six, seven or eight years, depending on conditions or adaptibility of the child. Health work in physical education is well emphasized, and the school nurse and dental clinic are supported by the Junior Red Cross. Milk, in half pint bottles, is delivered to all school buildings, and provided at a minimum cost, to all children of the grades. " The secret of the successful operation of this excellent system," said Miss Keeler, " lies in the splendid co-operation among teachers and principals throughout the city as a whole. City Superintendent Arthur Wilson is to be commended, indeed." Immediately prior to his present appointment, Mr. Wilson was in the state office. Some of our alumni at Everett are: Mrs. Besse Cooley Albert, Ethel Alexander, Marie Auckland, May A. Ben-nink, Louise Buchanan, Anna Copps, Grace C. Collins, Edythe De Long, Sarah Dellinger, Mary Dellinger, Laura Deringer, Cora Densmore, Mr. E. H.

At a well attended meeting of the Y. W. C. A. last Thursday, Dr. Bash gave a very interesting address on her work in China. The hospitals and training schools for nurses and doctors are in charge of unions and different religious denominations. She told of the great need of medical workers and of how' the people even now are so influenced by superstition that it makes work among them very difficult. Dr. Bash showed a banner, which had been presented to her before she left for America. It was a large piece of bright red silk _ with beautifully, hand-embroidered letters in black. At the end the Doctor's name was worked-iri small letters and in the center the- words, "A doctor is the heart of heaven," was embroidered in large Chinese letters. A solo by Marie Dewey ended the program. RURAL LIFE CLUB The Rural Life Club had a Hallowe'en party at its last evening meeting. Ghosts met the members in room 308 and conducted them through darkened hallways to the large gymnasium where fortunes were told, games played and the following program given: Piano duet, Miss Nordgren, Miss Fjellm'an; reading, Mrs. Smith; quartet, Miss Milne, Miss Gerber, Mr. Coughlin^ Mr. Heckman; reading, Miss Lewis; piano solo, Miss Thompson. .

Up-to-date methods and equipment and the desire to make satisfactory glasses — you'll find them all at WolFs, 205 West Holly Street AI MR. ELIOT Mr. Wm. G. Eliot, Jr., minister of the Unitarian Church of Portland, Oregon, gave a pleasing and scholarly address on Wednesday last. Mr. Eliot is a graduate of the Theological School of Harvard. He has been with the Unitarian Association, of Portland, for fifteen years, succeeding his father, who was a pioneer minister in Oregon. Mr. Eliot took for his theme the Indian boys' epistle, " I am well. I pray every day and hoe onions." This letter, according to the preacher represents a good ideal for our physical, spiritual and working life. The speaker suggested the reading of a few sentences from some well tested book each day. Mr. Eliot was pleasingly introduced by Rev. Baker, of the local Unitarian Church. F. T. RANDOLPH Mr. W. T. Randolph spoke in assembly Wednesday as a representative of the Northwest Training School, of Seattle, with which he has been associated for thirteen years. This school is for the training of young women to become missionaries, social service workers, or other work in this field. MISS' MONTGOMERY Miss Montgomery, the faculty's representative at the Teachers' League, which met at Tacoma, October 15 and Mi, gave a most interesting report in assembly last Wednesday. It was an important fact, Miss Montgomery explained, that the grade teachers in the state, the most powerful organization, failed to have a large representation at this gathering. It is the vision of the grade teacher which must be broadened; it is her work that must be appreciated, if the progress in our education is to keep pace with world events, thinks Miss Montgomery. Attention was drawn to the discussion of the proposal of an increase tax levy and the Teachers' Retirement Bill. DR. H. P. PACKARD Dr. H. P. Packard, for many years connected with the American Red Cross in Persia, spoke on his experiences in the interior of that country in assembly on Friday. He gave a geographical sketch of Persia and told of the part which it played in the world war. Dr. Packard drew very interesting-pictures of the patients who came to the hospital, the city, and the people in general. Pie spoke of the uprisings against the Christians, of the life of the Nomadic tribes and how for fourteen months the ' handful of people at the Red Cross station did not receive one word from the outside world. In closing, he pointed out that there are numerous opportunities for ambitious young women and men in the land of Persia, both in making money and along missionary lines. WRITE A STORY! WIN A PRIZE!

THE " SCOOP " THAT FAILED Some time ago we received a very interesting article from the development agent of the Great Northern Railroad. Due to lack of space and the fact that the article was more suitable for publication in a daily newspaper, we did not print it. Imagine our surprise, a week and a half later, to find a portion of the same article in the Everett High School paper, with the additional information that it had been especially secured for them by their live-wire reporter. So they say: "Through this good fortune we were able to scoop the rest of the newspapers." To scoop the rest of the newspapers with an article that was in the hands of the Northwest press a whole week before the Kodak was printed! We did not object so much to the insinuation that we had been scooped, but we do feel deeply for the rest of the newspapers that the Kodak treated so cruelly. We would suggest to the Kodak editor that an admirable short story might be written under the title, " The Scoop that Failed! " NORMAL BEATS THEM ALL We notice that several of the schools of the Northwest have considerable difficulty in persuading their students to subscribe for the school paper and buy students' activities tickets. In fact, the Lewis and Clark High School, of Spokane, hopes to make the circulation of their paper the largest of any in the country in proportion to enrollment. But the Bellingham Normal beat them to it for every student in school is a subscriber to the Messenger — and every student is a member of the Associated Student Body How many other schools can equal that record! WE WONDER Little deeds of kindness To your teachers now and then, Often raise your markings From zero up to ten. — Ex. Maybe it would and maybe it wouldn't, but that does not make any difference. " Little deeds of kindness to your teacher now and then," will not cost anything, and remember, you may be a hard worked school teacher yourself some day. . One of our Normal School contemporaries says: " It takes sixty-four muscles of the face to make a frown and only thirteen to make a smile." We always make it a point to read the Editorials in the exchange publications that come to our desk to see what our brother and sister editors find to write about. We made on interesting discovery the other day, namely, that there are no entirely new ideas in this world. At least it seems that a large number of editors write about the same editorials. We have even seen ideas of which we thought we were the proud author developed; on other pages. However, the large number of quotations from our own paper encourages us to keep on writing. Out of eight high school papers we perused the other evening six had flaming editorials on school spirit; and most of them have one every week. Judging by the Kodak, official publication of the Everett High School, Everett must be in a bad way. The school must be sadly in need of stimulants and restoratives to call forth their issue of last week.

Old Mother Witch and her relatives will take possession of Edens Hall tonight. Watch out then all you who haven't been so very good or goblins will get you! This is fair warning for all who attend the masquerade party at the " dorm" this evening. There will be frolics through haunted places lighted with jack-o-lanterns and gay candles. The training school is contributing its bit to this annual celebration of fun. Third graders surely 'will be surprised when second grade goblins come to frolic with them. From pre-primary to junior high school — all will join with Hallowe'en spirits. Student teachers, be careful when the fourth grade — oh, but that's a big secret! You will learn this afternoon! # # * Yes, spooks came forth and ghosts walked on the eve of October 23rd. Round and round the little gym marched the ghostly band 'till suddenly there sounded a hollow shriek, and lo! the spirits vanished and there stood the Ta-coma Club itself. The members soon forgot their ghostly wiles and entered enthusiastically into various games. Thrilling were the apple races and ball games until something better appeared on the scene. Yes, the eats. Ice cream, pumpkin and cider reminded the crowd once more that it was Hallowe'en. The future was pierced by the prophetic eyes of Miss Boring. Many and exciting are the romantic tmies to occur in the near future. ALUMNI OKANOGAN COUNTY REUNION Former Bellingham students who were attending the Okanogan County institute, October 20, 21 and 22, rallied to the colors at a banquet given the second evening of the institute.

WEDNESDAY ASSEMBLY NOTES " The man who hoards his knowledge cramps and cripples his soul," said Dr. Royce, of New York City, in his address to our assembly Wednesday. He went on to say that the purpose of education is self-development in order that we may give to others. Dr. Royce has been engaged in religious work for some time.

The name of the publication is the Shingle. A new exchange which has been placed on our list, is the Industrial Harmonizer. It is an attractive monthly publication , of sixteen pages and is published by the employees of the Bloedel Donovan Lumber Mills. It is distributed free to the company employees. As is indicated by its name, its purpose is to insure complete understanding between the employees. In it is news from all branches of the lumbering industry — yards, camps, mills, etc. It is a splendid reference for use in looking up the workings of a large lumbering industry, the Bloedel Donovan Company being another one of " our largest industries in the world that is situated in Bellingham." The Pacific Diving Company is a thing of the past. The part of the State Normal School building formerly occupied by that company no longer echoes with the hustle and bustle of office routine. Organized only a short time ago, for the purpose of diving for gold sunk when the Spanish pirates sailed the main, it has indeed been short lived. No reason is given other than insufficient capital to start with. The failure was a great shock to all stockholders. They were uncontrollable in their demands for a square deal. Accusations were being hurled at the bewildered president, and in their indignation, the stockholders were on the verge of mobbing her when Miss Wallace appeared just in time to tell them it was she who had caused the failure. These children have a surprisingly keen sense of humor and Miriam Bixby, capable president of the Pacific Diving Company, has also found her classmates keen business men and women. With the Pacific Diving Company, the Normal National Bank also closes its doors, never, perhaps, to open them again. * # * Have you, seen the window boxes on the first floor of the training school? They were planned and planted by the children, and are cared for by them. Go now, and see them, if you have not already done so. * # * Thanksgiving is just' four week off. It is a long time when you are waiting, but when you have a program to prepare, the days pass all too quickly. Already, the Junior High School is enthusiastically practicing for a Thanksgiving operetta, which, in all probability, means an assembly treat for the grownups. * * * These young people are enthusiasts throughout. An excellent school spirit prevails. Clubs have been organized, and competition and class activities go on as in any other high school. * * * See next week' for further Junior High School activities. ALETHEIANS As the result of a very impressive and thorough initiation, Brigetta- Kankomen, Lita Layton, Anna Lungdahl, Elsie Silver and Juanita Tuke have become members of the Aletheian Club. The following officers were elected: President, Allene Minor; vice president, Esther Mooring,- Treasurer, Sophie Pruse; secretary, Dorothy Bell; sergeant-at-arms, Eleanor Lindsley. The Aletheians expect to do big things this year. Watch them! ALKISIAHS On October 14th the Alkisiahs and a large number of invited guests enjoyed a very interesting evening \pt Tann-hauser. Olive McLeod gave such a vivid story of the opera that all were very well prepared to enjoy the records which Anita Reese interpreted later. Margaret Lewis gave a paper on " Wagner's Life " and all felt better acquainted with the great composer and his work. Music and the singing of the lively Alkisiah songs ended the evening's entertainment. STUDIO ART CLUB On October 14th the Studio Art Club met to initiate the new members. Yells and songs began the evening. One by one the new members were taken to another room where they were put through many difficult stunts to prove that they were fitted temperamentally for membership in the Studio Art Club. All who survived the ordeal partook of a fellowship spread —" the best they had seen in Bellingham." A most enthusiastic membership in this order of the brush and palette promises well for the club this year. Dr. Hughes on Health HURRY UP !. WRITE THAT STORY ! Girls wanted for the Senior baseball team. Practice Monday and Wednesday, 4 o'clock, big gym. Fruit Dealer: " It's easier to make dates now than to buy them. Elizabeth D.: "Really? What do they make them of ? " " Worry is the cause of 50 per cent of the ills in this school," said Dr. Hughes, school physician, when questioned concerning the most common causes of ill health. " Students should cultivate a cheerful attitude toward their work and especially toward the criticism they receive. School life is short at best and should be enjoyed. " Students should plan their work to include time for study, rest and recreation. The habit of allowing school work to pile up, which makes it necessary to overwork at the last, is too general. "A few cents spent in sending a heavy suitcase by parcels post is more than worth while. Many girls return tired after a vacation — and the suitcase is an additional strain. " Regular meals and adequate wraps are important in the preservation of health. A great proportion of the coughs, colds and even more serious maladies might be prevented by a little care. This would eliminate a great waste and leave a larger margin for work and play." An Englishman visiting the United States for the first time was riding in a street car in New York. Opposite him sat a woman upon whose lap was a very ugly baby. The Englishman attempted to keep his eyes off the baby, but his attention was continually drawn back. At last the mother obviously annoyed, leaned over and harshly whisf gt;ered, " Rubber!" A relieved smile spread over the Englishman's face as he replied, " Thank the Lord! do you know I actually thought it was real." WRITE A STORY! WIN A PRIZE!

We refer to the trip to Chuckanut Point. The way is very simple. Walk down the railroad track from the South Bell-ingham station and follow it until you come to the tunnel. To the right of the tunnel a well defined trail leads up over the enbankment. A little ways along the trail you will come to a fork. Take the trail to the left. From now on keep to the right. Soon you will come to a little bay where you will be able to get a splendid view. Take the trail leading to the left side of the bay and when you come to a little clearing where the trail branches off, turn to the right. It may seem over-grown with weeds, but it is passable. This trail leads to the end of the point where several places are available for picnicking. The view of the Sound is splendid and will be enjoyed very inuch. v\bout a quarter of. a mile out from the point is Dot Island. To the east may be seen Chuckanut Mountain and the surrounding hills. The long gash cut along the hills is the Interurban track, while just below are the Waterfront Highway and the Great Northern Railway tracks. The railroad follows the shore line for quite a distance before disappearing into the interior. Across from this point may be seen the -canneries of the Chuckanut Canning Company, one of the largest canning companies in the Northwest. A return trail leads along the eastern shore of the point and we advise that you revert to the original trail at the j gt;lace where they meet. The eastern trail, after it leaves the meeting point, is difficult to travel, and moreover it necessitates going through the tunnel on the way home. A former Normal party almost had a tragedy there when they met a passenger train in the tunnel. AN EXPLANATION Thi'ough some agency (probably the printer's "devil") a whole copy sheet was left out of the writeup of Chuckanut Mountain last week. Some of you may have wondered how the light houses could send out their " flashing beacons " in the day time. The writer was then commenting on the trip up the mountain at night, which trip some take during the Chuckanut marathon. The account should have told of the lights to be seen to the north as well as to the south. These being the lights of Ferndale, Lynden, Blaine and several email towns over the Canadian border as well. It can't be helped now, so we will leave you to see for yourself. HURRY UP!

No FIRE ALARM The principal of a certain grammar school was instructing his pupils as to their conduct in case of fire. The boys and girls listened most respectfully until he made his final point, and then their giggles and snickers sounded throughout the hall.

XX BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1920 NO. 4 TIME TO BE SET ASIDE FOR ACTIVITIES OF THE STUDENTS Philos to Perform First Some time next week, at one of the regular assembly periods the first of the weekly student programs will be given in assembly, and according to Miss Eva Bond, president of the Students Association, the Philos will have the honor of putting on the first performance. Dr. Nash has promised to set aside one assembly period per week, as often as possible, for student activities. Time will thus be obtained for song and yell rallies, entertainments and so forth. The programs to be given from time to time will be prepared by the classes and various clubs of the school. The president of the Students Association will be responsible for them and promises a series of high class programs, rich in entertainment features. Among those teaching in Tacoma are Edith Kesler and Lulu Rau. Miss Kesler, while a student here, was prominent in musical lines. She served as delegate to the Student Volunteer Convention. * * * Mr. Black, a former student of the Normal, and now principal of the Rock-port School, was seen renewing old acquaintances here last Saturday. FACULTY MEMBERS WILL GO TO Y, ATTEND MEETING OF THE STATE TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION At least four members .jof the faculty will speak at the meeting of the State {Teachers' Association at Yakima next week. Dr. Miller will give a paper on " Socialized School Organization " at the educational council, and at the special teachers' section he will talk about " Diagnosis of Sub-normal and Gifted Children." Mr. Bever will talk on " Extension Work," while Miss Longley, as president of the Home Economics Department of the State Association, will preside at the meeting of her section. Mr. Klemme will also give several addresses. Dn. AKTIIUR WAT.YN EVAXS 9 TOPIC IS "WHAT WESTERN DEMOCRACY MEANS TO ME Is a Popular Speaker A treat is in store for us on November 9 when Dr. Arthur Walwyn Evans will speak in the auditorium at the second number of the lecture course. Dr. Evans lived in Great Britain for twenty-four years, and was educated in Wales, England and Scotland. He came to America about eleven years ago, a brilliant young orator whose work immediately attracted attention. His popularity increased with each appearance. He is now considered to be one of the most popular lecturers of the day. Mr. Evans is of the type which fulfills the real mission of the platform. He is a scholar of rare attainments, a gifted orator who creates a profound impression wherever he appears, and a keen analyst of men and affairs. ' " What Western Democracy Means to Me " is Dr. Evans' most popular theme. In it he tells not only what is wrong with us, but, also, what is right with us. "Lords of the Land," "The Blight of Bigotry," and " Let There be Light," are .rither very popular subjects. Juniors Select Officers At the meeting of the Junior Class on Wednesday, October 13th, the following officers were elected: President, Alvan Hannah; vice president, Josephine Hawley; secretary, Ada Stephens; treasurer, Lawrence Bohanon. MISS BORING GIVES ART SMOKELESS SMOKES COLLECTION TO IL DONATION OF MEMBER OF FACULTY INCREASES LIBRARY VALUE Miss Ruth Boring, of our art department, has again given proof of her splendid, helpful spirit and her love of the Normal by giving to the library a wonderful collection of 350 mounted pictures, and over 70 books for the juvenile library. These pictures cover a wide variety of subjects, including child life, travel and the reproduction of the work of many famous artists. They are of a great value. Many of them are famous pictures of the World War, which will be of increased value in the years to come. This is the third time that Miss Boring has added to our library. Among the visitors at the school recently were Harry Bartruff, Clyde Bancroft, Kenneth Selby, Mr. Sorenson, Mr. Brewer and Letha Ducommun. Mr. Sorenson is teaching at Custer, Mr. Brewer at Lawrence and Miss Ducommun at Delta. FORMER NORMAL STUDENT PASSES AWAY IN INDIA ON JULY 16 In the Indian Witness of July 28 last, published at Lucknow, India, and the official organ of the Methodist Epicopal Church in Southern Asia, is an account of the death of Abbie Johnson Smith. Mrs. Smith passed away at midnight of July 16, at Mussoorie, U. P. She was a graduate of our school, and an acting-missionary in Lucknow, India, at the time of her death. Mrs. Smith's sister is Miss Johnson, also a graduate of our school, who is now county superintendent of Grays Harbor County. A malignant sore throat was the occasion of the illness which resulted in her death. Mrs. Smith was born in Portland, Oregon, September 2, 1887. She was a graduate of the University of Washington and was a Phi Beta Kappa member. In Evanston Illinois, she married Mr. Smith. In 1918 they went to Mor-adabad. Mrs. Smith was loved for her rare gift of " being a friend " and her loving helpfulness to all. Her small son, Raynor Francis, and her husband are left alone. 10 BE SMOKED ON 29TH BOYS TO GIVE STAG PARTY IN GYMNASIUM — GOOD TIME IS ASSURED Auspices of Men's Club The Hiliu Yakanati Club, otherwise known as the Men's Association, of which all the men in school are members, will hold the first smokeless smoker of the year in the large gymnasium on the evening of Friday, October 29th.

The men who were in school last year recall with pleasure the banquet and smokeless smoker held at that time, and especially the beautiful black eye which Powell nursed as the result of a boxing bout. The committee in charge promises a very interesting evening and urge every man to be present. STATIONERY IS NOT MR. BAUGHMAN DISCUSSES PRICE SITUATION AT CO-OP Every few days we read articles in the daily papers saying that the price of. a certain make of automobile has been reduced, that the price of clothing and shoes is coming down, or that the wholesale 23i"ice of sugar has dropped another cent. Most of us have not felt these reductions, except in the price of sugar, but the fact remains nevertheless that such things are coming down, and it is only a matter of a few months until we see real reductions. " . This condition of affairs was brought about, not by the producer, but by the consumer — he refused to buy anything (Continued on page 2.) ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1920 October 22 - Page 2 ---------- 2 THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1920 Stationery Is Not Coming" Down Says Mr. Baughman (Continued from page 1.) but the absolute necessities, with the result that the supply soon exceeded the demand. When the supply exceeds the demand, prices (usually) fall but in the matter of paper, and its various manufactured products, the demand still exceeds the supply — hence the present price. If the people could cut their consumption of paper, say 25 per cent, I believe that prices would begin to drop, but can this be done very easily? Most people have never thought of paper as being a necessity, but such is the case. How many students could get along with less paper than at present (and by paper I mean books as well, as they are made almost entirely of paper) ? Let's see how it would work out. You might reduce the size or the number of your lesson plans. You would gladly reduce the size of your lesson plans if you could, as you figure no doubt that they take up enough of your time, and if you were to reduce the number, your supervisor might have something to say. You might save paper . by not Avriting letters, but can you neglect your friends or get along without occasionally writing home for funds? You might not use so much art papers but can you paint a masterpiece of a bowl of fruit.with a great big bunch of grapes overflowing onto a table without spoiling half a hundred sheets of paper? In fact, it is hard to think of any plan whereby you could get along on less paper products without neglecting the purpose for which you came to Normal. The Co-Op is not run for profit, and, as soon as there are reductions in the wholesale price of stationery and books, you may expect reductions, as no one connected with the Co-Op could benefit by keeping the price and profits up. A co-operative store can not sell at cost because it is supposed to be cooperative, but must add enough to the wholesale cost to pay for the rent, management, taxes and various other costs. It ought to do a little better than just meet expenses, as there should be a little profit left for capital outlay and to take care of any possible losses. \ We pay no more for our goods than do other stationery stores, in many instances we pay less, and, as we pay no rent and there are no stockholders to satisfy, we are able to give you most of your supplies - at from 10 to 25 per cent less than competing stores. A comparison of our goods and prices will, I am certain, bear me out in this. If prices appear to be high, please keep in mind that it is not because the Co-Op is trying to profiteer, but that the price to us is high. When the wholesale price of sugar is high, the retail price must be a little higher or »there will be a loss. If one sells for less than cost he has to do a tremendous amount of business to make a profit. address of the evening was given by Mr. Weir of our faculty. He told about the need and opportunities for leadership in rural communities. He emphasized the idea of a brotherly attitude toward our neighbors. A committee was appointed to make preparations for a Hallowe'en party for the club at its next meeting. Rural Life Club On Thursday evening, October 14, the Rural Life Club had its first evening meeting of the quarber. An interesting program was given, including singing by the club, charades by a group of dormitory girls, fortune telling, several selections on a harp, a song by Miss Davis, and short, snappy talks by Mr. Heckman and Mr, Coughlin. The main Mr. Bond, who will be present at the Lewis County institute, held at Che-halis on October 26 and 27, will speak on some interesting topics, among which are " Ragtime " and " The Romance of Arithmetic." * # # Miss Edens has been invited to speak before the meeting of the Drama League held in Everett the last week in this month. * * * Miss Druse is in San Francisco enjoying her vacation.

The window is up; the teller in his place, and the eighth grade class in arithmetic is ready for work. They are studying banking, but not as we used to study it. To them, .promissory notes are not something to be dreaded, but something alive that lie in fascinating, piles with other fascinating piles behind the mesh of a real bank, and within the mental grasp of the students. By the project method, the children have been organized into a banking company, with president, cashier and teller. The depositors are not common, ordinary citizens, but real business men and women, for, .as an excuse for borrowing money, stock companies have been organized. It might be interesting to know the ames of these concerns. The bank is he Normal National. The stock companies — The Great Northern Lumber Company and Pacific Diving Company, for the purpose of diving for gold sunk when the Spanish pirates sailed the main. In this way, the children learn important information in an interesting way, i. e., how to deposit money, draw checks, make up a payroll and compute interest on money borrowed. One of these concerns will prove a swindle (but the stockholders are innocently ignorant). This will show them the value of investigating propositions before investing. Mr. Bissell printed the checks and currency for theb ank, and these same young people in composition class wrote a letter of thanks to Mr. Bissell. We " Gods and Goddesses" might learn a lesson from our little fourth grade brothers and sisters. Too many absences had occurred during school hours. Investigation proved thaat the majority of reasons were from avoidable causes which resulted in the adoption of the slogan " Keep in school by keeping well." These children are taking various precautions calculated to keep them in vigorous health. They have learned that too much rich food, including candy, will put the system in a sluggish condition, consequently, the mind cannot be as alert as it should be.. Also, that unless rubbers are worn in wet weather or wet shoes are changed after coming into the house, serious results will follow, etc. So the children are their own physicians, co-operating with their parents. " It has proven an excellent plan," says Miss Crawford. " The children are enthusiastic, and I have every reason to believe that the plan is largely responsible for the improved attendance record." They call this the class in hygiene. Oregon Club The Oregon Club had their first social gathering Saturday evening, October 9th, in the small gymnasium. The gym was beautifully decorated with gay colored autumn leaves. The members of the two rival colleges, O. A. W. and the U. of O., engaged in a lively football skirmish on a dainty white field, with a soft, fluffy football. O. A. C. made all the touchdowns and carried off the honors of the evening.

FOR THE JUNIORS —AND MAYBE SOME SENIORS How many of you knew the school song, " White and Blue," by heart, when we sang it in assembly the other day? Not very many, we're sorry to say, but it wasn't your fault this time. Only, don't let it happen again. Get out your Blue Book and learn it. It will take but a few seconds and you will feel amply repaid when you are through. It is a disgrace not to know your school song after the first few weeks of school. Next time we sing the " White and Blue " not one member of the student body shoul look at the words. And, by the way, there are some very catchy words for a song on the bulletin board. Read them today and see if you can't set them to music. In the near future we will print a complete list of all the old Normal yells so the Juniors will have an opportunity to learn them before the basketball season opens. Last year we had a most successful basketball season and while it is too early to make prophecies for this year, we can at least prepare by learning the yells and songs. HOW ABOUT IT? It has been said that two heads are wiser than one even though the one is a fool's. Still we hate to take advice, for it always happens that the other fellow is the fool. Even at that, a fool's advice is sometimes valuable and we write this in the hope that some one may have a bright idea. The Messenger is the students' paper, and we have no doubt that they have a multitude of ideas which might prove valuable and interesting in its publication. We should like to hear from the students in regard to this matter. If anyone thinks of some interesting feature that will make the paper better, tell us about it, or write a line and drop it in the Messenger Box. Surely some student has a bright idea. Sometimes we feel rather doubtful whether some faculty members have a sense of humor or not, but Mr, Klemme leaves no doubt on the subject for: " My head is more like heaven than you think," said Mr. Klemme, commenting on the Messenger's joke of last week, " for there's not only ' no parting' there, but there's no population along the paved streets." PLEASE NOTICE All items intended for " Ye Towne Crier " should be in the Messenger box by 2 p. m. Wednesday. Be sure to state the exact time and place. We have not heard from any one yet with regard to that Thanksgiving story. Hurry up, it's just a month to Thanksgiving. If you were of literary fame in high school, then don't delay, but write your story today. Do right a thousand times and you will never hear of it.

Two hours and a half were spent in a get-together spread. Twelve set about the table where Miss Cook acted as hostess. She told of many interesting experiences in teaching. Each student had a question to ask her and in turn contributed a bit of entertainment. A most happy evening was spent by all. MISS WOODARD GIVES TEA The first monthly student tea was given by Miss Woodard' in her homelike office, last Thursday, from 3 to 5. It was especially appreciated by the seventy-five students who attended because of the cold and gloomy weather. Miss Woodard was assisted by Louise Nelson, Pearl Ingalls, Marie Dewey and Eleanor Lindsley. Many new acquaintances were made at this time. It was a delightful rest, and the students thoroughly appreciated Miss Woodard's hospitality. CATHOLIC GIRLS CLUB With Madeline Xitco as president, Blanche Cummings, vice president; Eunice Montague, secretary and treasurer, the Catholic Girls Club has been organized. A committee appointed by the president is considering a new name for the club, while the social committee is making plans for a lively time this year. STAN WOOD CLUB The girls from Snohomish County organized a " Stanwood Club" October 15th. Olive Gunderson was elected president; Igna Sagen, vice president; Gladys Ryan, secretary and treasurer.

The committee, assisted by Miss Moffat, arranged games which were greatly enjoyed. Although the evening was short, it was full of the spirit for which the Ohiyesa's are known. Club yells and songs were given. Refreshments consisting of ice cream and cakes were served. A more congenial club could not be found.

What idea would that convey to you if you had never seen one? Yet the average definitions in the school geographies are quite as clear to the child,- according to Jessie Burall, in her article on " Visual Instruction in Geography," in the Normal Instructor. If you are now teaching geography, or if you intend to teach it, read her article and learn how to make the subject more real to the children. Another article in the same magazine tells you how to make a real "Witch Wheel," with which to tell fortunes at your Hallowe'en party. Do you love to look at pictures? Then you will make for the National Geographic Magazine as soon as it is placed on the shelf in the libraiy. In the October issue there is a beautifully illustrated article on " Nepal, a Little Known Kingdom." An article with a great human interest is " Human Emotions as Shown by Photography." ' Were you as a child afraid? Did you avoid the attic and dark corners? Did you imagine terrors in the places with which you were not familiar? Patri, in the Red Cross Magazine, tells of the fears of many children, how they begin, just why they are so harmful and how they may be avoided and overcome. In the same number is a discussion on " The Great Reformatory Outside Prison Walls," which should be interesting to students of sociology. We hear much of community service. Playground, a periodical devoted to this work, gives many helpful suggestions in "The World at Play." Every teacher should know and read the journals of her profession. Of these, the library has a great many. In the Popular Educator the story is told of an ideal rural school. Perhaps from it you can gather some helpful suggestions for use in your own school next yeaf. Every student and thinker should be interested in the events of the time. Just now politics form a great interest. The current magazines are full of information about the election. In the Atlantic is "How Then Should Smith Vote?" arid "The Voter's Choice." Kathleen Norris, in Good Housekeeping gives her account of her experience at the Democratic convention at San Francisco, under the . caption of " Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory." The Japanese question has caused much discussion here in the West. In the World's Work is given the viewpoint of the average Californian in relation to this problem. In the Atlantic is a poem full of suggestive word pictures, " Reminiscence " by Amory Hare. If you wish diversion read Stephen Leacock's " More Nonsense Novels" in which " an absolutely noiseless step was heard on the stair." Dr. Miller has said in reference to this year, that this is the place and now is the time. In the library we have a wide Variety of periodicals giving every phase of human interest; a phase of school life we cannot neglect. Frank Sheldon Talks "Life cannot be judged, it must be lived!" said Frank M. Sheldon, secretary of the Congregational Educational Society, in his energetic talk in assembly on Monday. Mr. Sheldon is especially interested in work with university and normal school students. He gave a real emphasis to the old truths we all know. He advised students to build up into their lives the real stuff that makes true men and women to meet 'the hard things IF YOUR BUSINESS IS NOT WORTH ADVERTISING, ADVERTISE IT FOR SALE with as much courage and happiness as the easy, to seek truth and not go out and repeat another's thoughts, that are not their own. " Great tomorrows must be built on solid todays and yesterdays," ended Mr. Sheldon. A correct answer turneth away wrath. The way of the bluffer is hard. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1920 October 22 - Page 7 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1920 H = : : "=" =^^ 11 miimimiiiiimi iniiiiiiiiiiiii until iiniini iiiinin mum i mi umminmii i tm i urn mini iiiiiiniiiiiiiiii.il Where to Go and How to Get There CHUCKANUT MOUNTAIN 'By cArthur E. 'Bowsher Perhaps some of you have already had a.desire to scale the peak which rises to the south of Bellingham. If you do hot make an opportunity for yourself one will be given to you next spring when the annual Chuckanut Marathan is held. There are several ways of reaching the trail up the mountain and we shall consider them before attempting to reach the top. For the real enthusiastic hiker there is one of two ways. The first leads around the Normal Drive, down Twenty-first Street to South Bellingham where the street ends. Here you will find the Interurban tracks. Follow these to the south until you reach Hi-bridge. Crossing the bridge and walking on a little ways farther you will come to the South Hi-bridge station, where the mountain trail begins. A little shorter way for you to reach South Bellingham, and the Interurban tracks, is to take the directions given for the trip up Sehome (down past the garden, etc.) only after you pass feet in the air and there is no place for safety. Interurbans leave the station at Elk and Holly at various times during the day and a schedule card may be secured from the company for reference. If you do not care to walk, take the Interurban and get off at South Hi-bridge station. If you go by auto or walk, the only way to go is by the • Pacific Highway, which will be easy to follow by noticing the road signs. After you leave South Bellingham, by the Highway, you will come to a place where the road forks, one (to the left) being the Samish Highway and the other the Waterfront Road. Take the Waterfront Road across the bridge and a few hundred feet farther on you will see a trail leading over the bank, to your left. If there is no one to bring the car back to town be sure and park it in a place that will not endanger or block the traffic. Take the trail and it will lead you to the South Hi-bridge Station. About two hundred feet from the top you will come to what is known as " The Flat Place." It is a cleared sjsace about fifty feet in circumference and makes an ideal eating place. A large fir tree is on the northern edge and here you will find a trail leading almost straight down. About fifty feet below is a fine stream of water and is the last place where water may be secured. The trail to the top leads out from Gang Lakes. But great care must be taken as the way leads over logs, through gullies, etc., and can only be followed by a blazed trail. The blazes may be almost obliterated and it is suggested that you take an axe with you and re-blaze the trail, both for your own convenience in returning and for the convenience of others. It is quite a problem to find the lakes and no specific directions can be given. ; through the stile take the lower trail leading to your right. Follow this trail until you reach the Interurban tracks and proceed as before. NOTE: It is not urged that you use the Interurban tracks as a means of reaching the mountain trail. It is neither safe nor advisable that you do so because it endangers your safety, especially in crossing Hi-bridge; it would be inconvenient to meet an Interurban as you are over ahundred Now that you have at last reached the Chuckanut Trail you will see what it has in store for you. Take the trail leading behind the station and keep to your right! If you do not keep to the right you will end up 'in somebody's back yard and that might become unpleasant. Keeping to your right you cannot do otherwise than follow the well defined trail which leads over the stile. From now on you will not have any trouble as the trail is very plain. the eastern edge of the flat place and after a little climbing Bellingham may be seen. On a very clear day the city will remind you of an old-fashioned painting. But you are not to the top yet! The trail from here on leads along the edge of a cliff where, far below, may be seen the tops of lofty fir trees. Continuing along the' trail you reach a point where a splendid view of the Sound there are numerous light-houses with flashing beacons sending out their warnings to the ships that come and go. To the south are lights of Burlington, Anacortes and the many small towns in between. To the east rises Mt. Baker, a most imposing sight in the moonlight! Now continue your journey down the trail to the south, back into the " Meadows." After passing the " Meadows " you will reach the " Caves." Here are great piles of rock forming-many caves, the largest of which shows signs of human habitation in the past. It is thought that here is where the bandits hid after the train robbery of several years ago. From here you go to Lost and Frey- A trip at least once up Chuckanut Mountain will be well worth your while and you should plan to go up at your earliest convenience. We have only in a small measure detailed the delights that await you' on this trip and will leave you to "see for yourself." From the top of the mountain may be seen Chuckanut Bay with Dot Island and Chuckanut Point, pointing like an accusing finger at the island. Here we shall go next week and enjoy the beauty of this secluded spot.

J AT CONSTRUCTIVE WORK FOR SCHOOLS IS PROMULGATED All Presidents Attend The present shortage of teachers has made itself most acutely felt in the schools of the smaller towns and rural communities. Constructive programs for bettering the conditions in these schools were worked out at a conference held in Centralia on Saturday, October 1st. This conference was attended by President George W. Nash, of the Bellingham Normal; President George H. Black and Professor R. W. Swetman, of Ellensburg Normal; President N. D. Showalter, of Cheney, and H. L. Bras, president of the Board of Trustees, and President A. C. Roberts, of the Centra-continued on page 2.) GIRLS TO PLACE BASEBALL TEAM IN FIELO CARVER IS COACHING CLASS TEAMS —MAY PLAY HIGH SCHOOL Seniors on Tuesday and Thursdays; Juniors Mondays and Wednesdays. Coach Carver has announced the days for the baseball practice and is already whipping into shape material for two splendid teams. However, more students should take advantage of an opportunity for such expert coaching, as well as vigoious, healthy exercise. It isn't necessary to know the game. Come and learn it! Besides inter-class games, which will be scheduled shortly, it is hoped matches may be arranged with the Whatcom and South Side High Schools as last year. Our teams were victorious then. Join a team this year and keep the standard up! Wednesday's assembly was the scene of much hilarity when the Junior Class assisted by a few Seniors put on a stunt program. After the main assembly the Seniors and Juniors met to elect their officers. Professor Knapp Passes Away at Age of 87 The students and faculty were saddened last week by the death of Professor Jared Mead Knapp, the oldest member of the faculty in point of years, whose love for the Normal and its students seemed to grow — if such were possible — with each succeeding year. At the time of his death, Sunday morning, October 10th, he was living at 617 Twenty-first Street, but a short distance from the Normal School. He had reached the grand old age of 87 years, 11 months and 24 days. Mr. Knapp was born in Buffalo, New York. His interest in botany and biology was manifested early, and throughout his entire life he was an ardent student of plant and animal life. In 18G1 he was a member of the first class to graduate from a course in agriculture at the State University of Michigan, at Lansing. He made many valuable collections of fossils and other geological materials. Upon the advice of his physician, he came to the coast twelve years ago, and made his home in Bellingham. The invigorating climate of Puget Sound enabled him to add twelve more years to a useful life. Professor Knapp has been associated with the Bellingham Normal for the past five years. During that time he was the head of many excursions which the alumni remember with pleasure. As an honorary member of the faculty he was an assistant in the department of biology. He co-operated with Mr. Moody and Dr. Herre, who have been the heads of this department, coming to classes and lecturing on special subjects as his health permitted. His memory is cherished by all who came in contact with him in this manner, and his loss will be keenly felt by the Normal. Last year he was the chairman of the faculty committee that had charge of the Normal museum. Professor Knapp was primarily a botanist when he came to Washington, but became deeply interested in the marine life on the Sound. He spent a great deal of time in studying the various forms of marine life and made several collections which were sent to universities in the East. His intimate knowledge of this phase of life on the Pacific Coast made him especially valuable to the Normal School. He leaves a large and valuable exhibit at his home on Twenty-first Street. While on an expedition to the San Juan Islands, but three weeks ago, he was taken sick and, failing to recover, ended his great quest last Sunday morning. Professor Knapp is survived by one sister, Mrs. Emma Hill, of Bell-view, Michigan; one niece, Emma L. Lamkin, with whom he was living at the time of his death, and two nephews, Willis B. Lamkin and Jesse J. Lamkin, of Bellingham. The funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, from the undertaking parlors of Arthur C. Harlow, the Rev. Addison Baker, of the Unitarian Church, officiating. The following members of the faculty acted as pallbearers: Victor H. Hoppe, H. C. Philippi, E. A. Bond, J. V. Coughlin, Thomas F. Hunt and James Bever. Mrs. Florence Fox Thatcher, head of the music department, had charge of the music. School was closed all afternoon in order that faculty and students might have an opportunity of attending the funeral. The school flag floated at half mast in Professor Knapp's honor. it What Is the Co-op » I asked Mr. Baughman a few days ago. " It is frequently brought to our attention," said he, " that a considerable number of students are of the opinion that the " Co-op" is either owned by myself or the school. " Neither of these opinions is correct," he continued. " The Students ' Co-op,' as suggested by its name, is a co-operative store, owned by the Students Association of the school." The " Co-op" was established in a very modest way twelve years ago. At that time it occupied the room now used by Mr. Bever as an office, and carried a stock of but a few hundred dollars in value. Since then, it has occupied various rooms in the building. For five years, it has occupied the rooms on the ground floor, and now carries a stock value of fifteen thousand dollars. President Is Busy Dr. Nash is a busy man these days, with the demands upon his services for institute works, lectures and consultation with the heads of the various educational institutions of the state. On Saturday, October 2, he was a guest of President Roberts, of the Centralia Normal. There our president had the extreme pleasure of hearing for the second time this season the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. At Aberdeen, Dr. Nash met Miss King, of the extension department, who is in chai'ge of the extension work in Grays Harbor County. While lecturing at the county institute, he met many former Normal students. Florence Johnson, one of our capable students, is now county superintendent of Cowlitz County. (Continued on page 2.)

Business Girls! Bound to win are the Business Girls," sang sixty young women Thursday morning. They met to reorganize the league of girls who work to defray expenses while attending school, under the dh'ection of Miss AVoodard. The purpose of the league is for the study of the conditions under which girls are working as well as for social i.imes. The three questions that confront a working girl are, does your employment interfere with your studies, with your recreation or impair your health? The social part of a working girl's life is too often neglected. The league endeavors to see that it is encouraged. There are twenty girls working in private families in various part of the city, while Edens Hall employs ten girls at waitresses. Similar work is done in the cafeteria by six girls. Other work carried on by girls includes clerking, janitor work, Y. W. C. (Continued on page 2.) ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1920 October 15 - Page 2 ---------- 2 THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1920 DR. NASH ATTENDS CONFERENCE (Continued from page 1.) lia Normal. It was recognized that the needs of the smaller schools take three forms; first, many rural schools can secure no teachers of any kind; second, many" small high schools are at a serious disadvantage in developing the lines of special instruction, and third, the teachers already in the field have very great need of... efficient and continuous help from the Normal Schools through the extension departments. The presidents of the Normal Schools report that the demand for teachers is so great from the graded schools of the state that practically no teachers are going from the institutions into the rural schools. Town and city systems are outbidding the rural districts and taking the students'with the minimum of preparation and often with little or no experience. It was the judgment of the -residents of the Normal Schools that a large number of young men and women residing in rural districts would prepare for teaching in the rural schools if - entrance conditions, courses of study and proper certificates were planned to meet precisely the needs of the rural communities. The following plan was unanimously •adopted as a means of helping the rural school situation: Since many rural schools can get no teachers of any kind we recognize that the training of an adequate number of rural teachers is a major need of this state and in order better to meet the emergency of the rural schools it is the sense of this conference that the one-year elementary course as now defined in the state law should be abolished and that in its stead there should be placed a special training course for rural teachers. It is recommended further that the following conditions govern this special course: First — Admission should be based upon a minimum of completion of the tenth grade in high school. Second — This course should be two years in length. Third — On completion of this course a certificate should be issued good only in rural schools as defined by the State Board of Education. Fourth — These certificates should "be good for three years and renewable in accordance with the rules of the State Board of Education. Fifth — Possession of this certificate should be accepted for entrance to any regular Normal School course. The Normal Schools all maintain lines of major instruction in art, music, physical education, business administration, manual training, home economics and administration and supervision, but under the present law graduates from these courses cannot be certified to teach in the high schools of this state. Here is one of the most acute needs in the whole educational system and the following statement was adopted as a means of relieving the very great scarcity of teachers of the special subjects. It was recognized that there is a great need for helping the smaller schools of the state who are struggling to establish the various lines of special work. It was recommended that we advocate that graduates of the three or four year special courses of the Normal Schools in art, music, physical education, business administration, manual •• training, home economics"and administration and supervision be recognized as fully accredited teachers in the common schools of • htis state both for graded and high school work. The scarcity of teachers has led inevitably to a lowering of the standard of training and experience of the teachers in many rural communities of the state. Since the schools must have teachers and since many of these teachers are limited in training and experience it was the judgment of the jDresidents of the Normal Schools that special efforts should be made to carry the very best Normal School instruction into every community in the state. In order to provide teachers actively engaged in service, with the continuous preparation necessary for effective teaching and to make available to the general public information concerning the best educational practices, each Normal School shall establish and maintain a department of extension service. Such service shall consist of: First — Extension courses conducted in centers to be chosen in the field. Second — Extension courses to be carried on through correspondence. Third—Extension lectures dealing with educational and child welfare problems. Fourth — Services to individual schools Interested in doing research work on special educational problems. Fifth — Class room advisory assistance to schools requesting it. Sixth—County commissioners and district school boards are authorized to cooperate in providing funds to be used in paying the expenses of such extension service. STUDENTS SELF SUPPORTING (Continued from page 1.) A. assistant secretaries, library and collecting for the City Mission. The odd hours work includes teaching music, care of children, sewing, i»erving dinners, ironing, teaching Spanish and correcting papers, stenographic work and playing the piano for gymnasium. It is the policy of the school to lend all assistance and encouragement to girls ambitious enough to make hteir own way through school. The institution is proud of the girls who have accomplished i.his in the past and are now successfully teaching in the state. OUR PRESIDENT IS BUSY THIS WEEK (Continued from page 1.) At Olympia, Dr. Nash attended for three days a meeting of the joint board of higher institutions of the state. On October 19 this board will re-convene to decide the new millage tax for the period of the next four years. This past week, Dr. Nash attended the institute at Kelso, Cowlitz County. From there he went to Tacoma, at the call of Superintendent Geiger, in attendance at a meeting of the Washington' Educational Association on legislation. A large number of educational representatives were present from all parts of the state.

They are under the management of Mr. Al Finkelstein, who has made elaborate plans for the remodeling of the Liberty theater. The plans include new equipment, fixtures, carpets, drapes, lighting effects and, best of all, the installing of a mammoth unit organ costing $25,000. Mr. Finkelstein states that only the best pictures produced will be shown, and that he stands ready at all times to co-operate with the students of the Normal School. For the convenience of the Normal students, Mr. Finkelstein is advertising his best pictures in the Messenger; we are sure that the students will take advantage of this fact and see some of the foremost productions of the " silent drama."

BUCKLE RIGHT IN Now is the time to buckle right in and write that story for the Messenger. What kind of a story? An interesting one, of course. Any subject will do, but we should especially like to have some short stories built around your school life here at Normal. Thanksgiving is but a few weeks away. We want one or two good Thanksgiving stories for that issue. " So just buckle in with a bit of a grin — take off your coat and go to it," and you will write the Thanksgiving story that starts you on the road to fame as an author. ARE YOU INTELLIGENT? It requires no detailed psychological test to pick out the intelligent people in school. In fact, it is a very simple matter on Friday after the Messengers have been distributed. Go into a classroom before the bell rings and notcie what section of the paper various persons are reading. The shallow-minded ones read " THE LAUGHING CAT " first, while the intelligent ones read the first page or the editorials (perhaps). Which do you read first? ASK YOUR ENGLISH TEACHER We have been puzzling over the following for a long time and frankly must admit that we do not understand it. What do you think? If an editor edits, and an auditor audits, then why doesn't a janitor janit? If it's proper to say that he edits the paper, then why can't we say that a man janits the school house. Indeed, English is a curious language. " Work is good medicine." The editor was dying (not the Messenger editor. That would be too good to be true) when the doctor bent over, placed his ear on his breast and said, "Poor man! Circulation almost gone!" The dying editor sat up and shouted: "You are a liar; we have the largest circulation in the country! " Some students attempt to increase the Messenger circulation by helping themselves to two or three copies, in order that they may have a bountiful supply to mail to fond friends and r e l a t e s. Last week several were unable to secure their copy of the Messenger because some before them had taken more than their share. You have paid for only one copy and are entitled to one copy, only. Please do not take more than you are entitled to, or others will have to go without. iiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiii Why Do We Offer You H EATON'S IGHLAND LINEN THERE is a very good reason why we offer this paper in preference to others. YOU are the chief reason. We offer it knowing that it is of the quality YOU will like—because it reflects the taste in style of envelopes and choice of tints YOU would approve, and last because it is a paper that is YOU to your friends. • When you are passing^ our way, come in and see some ®f the new tints and envelope shapes.

In an issue of the Messenger for the summer term a young lady put in an article in which she stated that a group of her friends had journeyed "up Sunset Trail" to the top of Sehome Hill. If they took the Sunset Trail to get to the top of Sehome Hill they must be going yet! Sunset Trail is merely a continuation of High Street. You may have wondered what that " woods" at the end of High Street contained, but perhaps you have not, as yet, had the desire to find out. If you will take the trouble to enter that " woods," you will find a delightful winding trail leading out over ' the hill. The trail leads through the I woods for quite a distance, then comes out into a clearing just above the Bloer *del Donovan Mill. Follow the trail through the clearing until you come to ' where it leads downward. From here 'you get a splendid view of the bay and . the surrounding hills, while out across 'the bay one may see Lummi Island. J Here is another fine place from which to watch the setting sun and to enjoy all of its splendor. If you follow the trail further on, you will eventually reach South Bellingham. Many groups in the past have taken a picnic supper, on a fine clay, and eaten it at the place mentioned. What could be more thrilling than to view the surrounding beauties of nature, while munching on a sandwich! The E. K. Wood Mill is just below, south of that is the largest fish cannery in the world. Both at the mills and the fish cannery boats may be seen loading for all parts of the world, with an occasional Sound steamer coming from Seattle or island harbors. An interesting point may be seen on the way out Sunset Trail. It is a place known as " The Gallows." There are many stories of how it received its name, but none of them seem to be authentic. Some say that several men committed suicide there while others contend that men were lynched there in bygone days. Next week we will take a trip to Chuckanut Mountain. THE EXCHANGE By ARTHUR E.

We are planning a " Smile Week " for some time in the near future in which we will give a " Smile " with the " Hello." * # # Tahoma: Glad to see you back. With your permission, we are going to use your "Poem on Advertising" sometime. Not that the business men of Bellingham need it, but that it might do some good on " Foreign Soil." * * * The Exchange is out again, and as usual has some very good articles. * * * The Bucklonian: A new "face," still in its infancy. Good luck to you and may your future be successful! You reflect credit on the students of the Buckley High School, Buckley, Wash. Willamette Collegian: We're with you when you urge the students to patronize your advertisers. Some of them seem to think that advertising is something the editor stuffs in to fill up space, at least we have a few like that. But then, they are the ones that are always kicking about the poor service they receive down town. # # # The Manualite: You must have a select school, as you don't seem to be able to find any jokes to put in your paper. If you haven't any "jokes," nake some! * # * The Kodak: No, Benson is not coaching the Whatcom High team as reported to you. A former Normal man, An-stett by name, is their " slave driver." * * * The Normal College Index (my, what a long name!) is another "new exchange which we are glad to see. It is published by the faculty and students of the Normal College at Dillon, Montana. If the ideas expressed in the editorial are adhered to, it cannot be otherwise than successful. # * * The X-Ray: We never received your issue of June 14th until October 8th! ' I t is our mail system again. We hope that we will be always on your mailing list and that we will receive a copy of the X-Ray again soon. You have quite an exchange list! Just think of it, folks, 750 different exchanges! * * * The Exponent: Welcome back. Some of our students were asking about you the other day, wondering if you were stil Ion our exchange list. Mississippi Bulletin When the U. S. S. Mississippi was. in port the other day we were among the throng that went aboard. While there we visited the printing department and gossiped with the force from the pressman down to the " devil." We were presented with a copy of the "Mississippi Bulletin," an interesting paper put out on the ship. We hope to see another copy soon.

How many have you now?" Small boy: "I don't know exactly. 1 think it's seven." A little boy in Miss Moffat's first grade could not be encouraged to talk voluntarily. He sat and thought and studied, and listened —and looked. After Miss Moffat had explained the fire drill to the pupils she said, " I want you to be ready, for the drill will come this week; it may come tomorrow, or it may even come this very morning." When the reading lesson was about half over the fire gong sounded. With one jump the little boy landed in the center of the circle of chairs and exclaimed, " Gee! you hit it just right, didn't you!"

W. and expression rooms on the third floor of the main building the annual reception of the Y. W. C. A. will be held. Every student in the school is invited. It is to be a semi-formal affair. An elaborate program has been arranged, after which games will be played and refreshments served. The rooms are to be decorated in blue and white, the school and Y. W. colors. It is hoped that many students will attend this annual charming event of the Y. W. C. A. Due to an unintentional • error, the name of Miss Bernice Day was omitted from the list of members of the Board of Control. Miss Day was elected at the regular student body meeting last May and served during the summer quarter. ROUSING YELL PRACTICE HELD WEDNESDAY ASSEMBLY DEVOTED TO RALLY IS "Bah! Rah! Bah! Normal," shouted five hundred happy young men and women at assembly Wednesday, when Archie Erickson, last year's far-famed yell king, waved his arms and loudly demanded noise. All the old, well known yells that last year made Whatcom quake with fear were repeated. Keen competition was manifested between the boys and girs. The girls of course produced a greater quantity of soprano warbling, but considering the relatively small number of boys, it is but fair to say that they were manifestly superior (in vocal ability) to an equal number of girls. This is but the first of a number of rallies that will make us familiar with -the school yells and songs before the opening of the basketball season. STUDENTS GET ACQUAINTED AT GET-TOGETHER SOCIAL Many Alumni Present In response to the call, the school turned out in a body, along with many former students and members of the faculty, to the mixer last Friday night. First came the following program, given in the auditorium at 7:30: 1. Greeting.... .7....Dr. Nash 2. Whistling Solo Harriet Rittenburg 3. Real Stunt : Ellen Reep, Archie Erickson 4. Readings Melba Hinds 5. Violin solo, " Largo " Byron Samuelson 6. Readings Florence Swanson 7. Vocal Solo ...Pearl Ingalls 8. Finale, " Mr. Oberhoffer and His Flonzaley Quartet....Archie Erickson The program lasted for an hour, but was at all times interesting. Ellen Reep especially astonished us with her singery; the "stunt" was enthusiastically received. Miss Swanson also proved popular and responded to encore after encore. Then Pearl Ingalls, the Normal " song bird," sang as only Pearl can sing. After that everyone went down to the gym and frolicked eagerly. It was amusing to see the other side shooting madly for the ever elusive basket or to see a stately girl grab her skirts and skuttle around the slippery floor. The evening soon passed and a breathless group lined up for a grand inarch around the gym and up to the " eats." All agreed it was a typical Normal mixer — and what better praise could be given? GREAT ORCHESTRA AUDIENCE IS THRILLED BY MINNEAPOLIS SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, assisted by Miss Florence Macbeth, distinguished soprano, directed by Emil Oberhoffer, thrilled the large audience who heard the concert last Wednesday night. Not one of the seats were vacant in the section allotted to our Normal students who seemed greatly pleased with the wonderful entertainment. Our Community Service represented by Dr. Nash, president, and Mr. Weir, director, arranged for the symphony. They feel that their efforts were well repaid in bringing the orchestra to Bell-ingham on its. first Northwestern Pacific Coast tour. Be ed at Normal SPEAK AT INSTITUTE DR. NASH PRESIDES —STUDENTS DEMONSTRATE ABILITY A more interesting and instructive program than that given alTthe Whatcom County Institute, Wednesday and Thursday, October 6th and 7th, has never been featured in this district. Among the speakers were Dr. Nash, Mr. Klemme, Mr. Weir and Mr. Bond; Misses Montgomery, Lee, Longley and Cummins of our faculty and Mrs. Preston, state superintendent. Dr. Nash presided at the Wednesday afternoon session. Many new things were brought out in the addresses, new phases of education. Two main thoughts emphasized were socialized method of teaching and an urge for teachers to be individual. The musical program was unusual and (Continued on page 2.) FOOTBALL TEAMS CARVER'S PROTEGES SHINE IN PROFESSION OF COACHING When Sam Carver of the Normal blew the whistle that started the Ana-cortes- Whatcom football game last Saturday, two of his. old proteges from the championship Normal team of 1917 were on the sidelines as rival coaches. Students who were in school last year will remember Elwood Davis, basketball guard and first ^" sacker " on the baseball team. Davis will have charge of all the athletics at the Anacortes High School this year. Leonard Anstett, the Whatcom High School coach, also played for Normal in 1917. To say the least it must have been interesting for Carver to see what his old pupils could do against each other in- the line of coaching. Incidentally Anacortes won 8-6. Two more of Carver's former pupils were rival coaches at the Lynden Fair Saturday. , Bartruff, captain of last year's basketball team, is coaching at Ferhdale - and J. Arthur Griffin at Blaine. Blaine won, 6-0. STUDENTS WILL VOTE FOR NATIONAL AND STATE EXECUTIVES Election Date Oct. 27 How do you vote? Republican, Democrat or third party man? Now is the time to make up your mind, for in two and a half weeks comes the far-famed Official Messenger Straw.. Vote of the Normal School. On the 27th of October every student in school will have an opportunity to cast his or her vote for .the candidates nominated for president of the United States and for governor of the State of Washington. POLITICIANS ARE BUSY Already some of the politically in-cUned gentlemen in school are laying plans for an active campaign. Would-be orators are seeking opportunities on which they may hold forth on the, merits of this or that candidate. Mass meetings of the adherents of political parties will no doubt be common during" the next two weeks. Definite arrangements as to the manner of holding the election have not been made as yet, due to the absence of Dr. Nash. . Permission no doubt will be secured to have the vote taken at the regular assembly period. If you have not decided how to cast your vote, do a little intelligent, thinking during the next two weeks. Don't write and ask father how he is going to vote., He might not want to tell. L PLANS ARE COMPLETED FOR A FOUR-YEAR COURSE This fall the State Board authorized the Normal to plan for " Four-year courses," which will bring our school on a college basis. The State. Board has not as yet authorized a " degree" for-a four-year course, but. those students will receive Normal diplomas. Several students have completed: the three-year course and some are enrolled for it. So far, only a few have desired to continue a four-year course; at present there is ho definite enrollment: It; is hoped that many more will express their desire to benefit by the four-year, course and that soon the plan will ^be'; in progress. ••"'••'-•^••'W.yC':•"?:•.;-'•"' ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1920 October 8 - Page 2 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1920 FACULTY MEMBERS AT INSTITUTE (Continued from page 1.) proved an enjoyable treat to the visiting teachers. A number of our student teachers attended this institute. It was the first institute for most of them. The following students assisted Miss Cummins in giving a model lesson in eighth grade history: Catherine B. Browne, Viola Sturman, Myrtie M. Lewis, Mrs. Elizabeth McDonald, Gladys S. Olsen, Asta Nordgren, Evelyn Fraser, Pearl Hemmi, Anna Lungdahl, Catherine Joyce, Ernestine Gove, Elvirp Rocehe, Mrs. Edna G. Stine, Frances Rosenberg, Etta Pittman, Twyla Dins-more. This lesson was in the form of a project lesson, the title of which was the expansion of the United States. It took in the growth of the United States from a mere colony of thirteen states to a world power. It contained four parts: Part I. Rounding out the United States. This taking in all of the history to the Louisiana Purchase. Part II. Why the brave pioneers heard the call westward. Bringing in how the government helped and the methods of travel. Part III. Westward to the Pacific — Bringing in the building of the western empire. Part IV. From continental to world power — Taking in colonies of the United States to the present war. In the interview which Miss Cummins granted she said that this was the hardest thing she had ever tried to do because she was not familiar with the conditions under which she would teach the lesson. Mrs. James Gaul, who has been associated with the language department as a teacher of Spanish, leaves the early part of October to join her husband in Jamica. Mr. Gaul is manager of a large sugar plantation. * * * Dr: Nash left last Friday for a trip to the state capital where he attended a meeting of the board of higher curricula. * * * The offices of the extension department of the Normal, of which Mr. Klemme is the head, have been moved from the training school to the science annex. Letters from Miss King show that she is attacking her work with her usual enthusiasm. OBITUARY NOTICE On Sunday, October 3,. Edens Hall witnessed a very sad event when two of their daily companions, Mr. and Mrs. House Fly, were accidently drowned, at that place. The bodies were embalmed in wax, with all due Egyptian skill, and placed in a coffin of pure white celery. The services were fittingly conducted by the Rev. Chabert. Pall bearers *ere Miss Margaret Lewis and Miss Geraldine Tyler." Chief mourners were well supplied with enlarged handkerchiefs.

RURAL LIFE CLUB With but a few faithful devotees home again, the parents of a going literary club were, the first few weeks of school, anything but bright. But gloomy weather did not spell gloom in the Rural Lif eCamp. An enthusiastic meeting was held October 5th, at which Ruby Anderson was elected president, and steps were taken to bring that club, which stands for the best, the highest and the sweetest in rural life, again into the active list of the literary organizations of the school. All-those interested in rural prograss and development are invited to attend the next regular program. The time and date will be announced on the bulletin board. •'...•„.-• Girl in physics class: "Could you get' a shock by holding on to the telephone-receiver?

No bridge spans the current throughout its entire length: and; its murky" waters rush: mercilessly along through the silent reaches lt;pf the.igreat; forest until.it joins the Pacific Ocean. Giant trees, lose their moorings to plunge fnto the cold waters of the stream; entire hillsides lose their grip i and. slides— earth, rocks and trees together.—-toward-the-river, -while precious little fields of grain or even homestead sites are swallowed up by the heartless stream. To Teach' this interesting country, Lulii and. Ruby Anderson and I left Hoquiam August 25th on the Myrtle May, a freighter forty feet in length owned by Skipper Fletcher. Lumber for the school house porch at Hoh was in the hold, there was food in the fo'c's'l for the trip and everything being ship shape we set forth with merry hearts. We stood in; the bow, in order to enjoy to the full the thrilling experience of crossing the bar. In the midst of a high sea the brave little craft struggled and snorted and panted but always came through right side up and we felt unafraid to face the sixty-five mile stretch of real ocean, which was in no sense pacific. One by one we went aft, this one to starboard, this one to port, until the deck resembled a saucer of pansies with.very short stems. Even the.skipper was pale. It was my privilege to travel 100 miles on horseback through the great forest of the Hoh country. Giant.spruces and cedars from five to seven feet in diameter are too numerous to attract attention. Three weeks in this great silence without even a.wagon road to speak of the presence of man! Indeed at one time while in the Mt. Tom district we were forty miles from the highway. Mere elk trails leading over logs through intricate thickets, across treacherous, slippery roots, over rolling stones and rotting wood seemed to be trials enor-' mous until we encountered yellowjack-ets! I recommend a sudden sally by these tiny creatures as a sure cure for all past ills. But — Queen Elizabeth had; Sir Walter and his velvet cloak and I had patient, plodding, non-smiling Nansen, a youth whose strong right arm was greater protection than the constitution of the United States. . One evening a strange movement was noticed among the young alders across the . river. "Elk" was the whispered message'quickly sent along the trail. We rapidly assembled making ourselves an inconspicuous part of the landscape and watched and waited. We could hear the Lenses duplicated accurately, and all eyeglass r e p a i r s m a d e promptly. WOLL, {Optometrist and Optician, 205 West Holly Street. cracking of the underbrush in every direction, the . area of disturbed bushes spread up the river.and down and we caught tantalizing glimpses of.a head or a flank through the branches. Distinct :and clear. came the penetrating whistle of the great leader in his efforts to round up his band. Arid still they eluded us, still they kept well under cover of the young- alders.. Knowing that the sand bar is a favorite meeting place, we anxiously wondered if they-would come ouV or if we had. just come:up in time to.see the dust of the retreating herd. To end this suspense, two young men decided to ford the river .on horseback, head them of f, arid start them back, toward the sand bar. After fifteen more minutes of anxious waiting we heard great commotion in the thicket. The .leader .gave ther.cry ro£-alarm,, them made, repeated efforts to lead his herd to safety, but panic reigned, out they came, 200 strong, frightened, distracted elk, right out on the. sand bar in front of us. The leader called and called, but 'twas useless—the great enemy was upon him and he. finally plunged with a mighty splash into the river, shaking his great antlered head in defiance and emerged farther down to lead his band in safety up a neighboring hillside. I have lived! Nothing interested me so much as the two families who went into the great forest over thirty years ago. One mother has been outside only once in all that time. The Andersons live at Hoh, the Huelsdonks at Spruce, both on the banks of the Hoh River, which is at once both friend and foe. It abounds in fish for the taking and for years all the supplies that reached Spruce were pushed ,up-stream for twentyrfive miles in an Indian dugout by Mr. Huelsdonk. A fine Michigan steel range bears eloquent testimony to the father's courage, skill and devotion to his family. In all these years only one doctor has ever entered the Hoh country and he charged $100 for the call. These two neighbors — twenty-two miles apart! — have sent two girls, to the State University and six to the Bellingham Normal School. Wedding at Edens Hall Mr. Peggert Raspberry Lewis and Miss Geroldine Chlorine Tyler were married quietly (probably due to the presence of Chlorine) Thursday, at Edens Hall. The Rev. Chabert performed the ceremony.' The bride was charming in a gingham gown with beautiful checkered design upon which the wedding march was played. Her veil .was of the latest "loco," being created from expensive sugar sacks (sugar came down $1.50 after the wedding). She carried a boquet of asters and was presented with forget-me-nots after the wedding ceremony in the shape of old shoes, etc., presented by their friends via the aerial mail route. The friends of Mr. Lewis and Miss Tyler were bitterly weeping during the ceremony (the same accounting for the abnormal precipitation of late).

In this way every student will be enabled to cast an intelligent vote and secure a practical knowledge'of th^ party platforms, etc. In order to be of real value to the students the estraw vote should not only be interesting but serve as a lesson in applied civics. - If you do not have occasion to use the the articles oh places to visit, at the present time, save them uritilffi next spring^ Weather conditions at the present ttme-alr^ so uni;r settled that we hesitated a printing them, but do so in the i hope that the present showers are not the beginning; of the? rainy^ season ,and that we may have a real Indian summer during October and November. r.:\J:--4:l.^r Can you write a short story?

To the Students and Faculty of the Bell-ingham State Normal School, " Greetings from Two Hundred Graduates and Undergraduates of Your Institution": Wa are assembled at the thirty-second annual session of the Snohomish County Teachers' Institute at Everett. One in walking about the streets of Everett now, or about the headquarters, may well imagine that he is back in your fair city of Bellingham or back at your school. To make the illusion more perfect, we have with us your beloved Dr. Nash, Prof. Klemme and Miss Keeler. Did we not know your.love for.them and your need of them we should try to keep them with us forever. Between the morning and afternoon sessions today we enjoyed a banquet at which Elwyn Bugge presided as toast-master. Dr. Nash responded with a short talk in which he told us of many of the Normal affairs. Likewise Prof. Klemme responded. We in Snohomish County have always thought that our weather could not be surpassed, but the sunshine in Mr. Klemme's heart is supreme. Send us your ray- of sunlight as often as you can spare him. : My friends, since we have been thrown in actual contact with the problems of our profession, let us give you a word of advice. Make the best of all things that the courses have to offer you, for you too will find that you will need them as you enter your real work. The scarcity of teachers on the Sound exists no more. Therefore, the teachers, old and new must " deliver the goods." What we mean to impress upon you is this: That from now on, and we hope till the end of all time, the teacher in order to be in demand must be able ,to keep up the standard of the profession and the sbandard of the schools of this great nation.

He took his theme from two sets of sayings — those found in Exodus when Moses received the Ten Commandments, arid the words of Jesus Christ. He stated that the great trouble with men of today is that they lack appreciation of themselves and are satisfied with their achievements. '"You will make the most of life if you have high ideals. There is no such thing as an age limit. .Men are always. struggling and advancing," declared Rev. McPhail. No matter what your position in life, do your best, he maintained. Every man's life is a plan of God. There is an opportunity for every man who prepares for it. BEANS SOLD TO DORMITORY Junior: • - _ A "Asleep." -Did;you know that seventy pounds of beans were picked and: sold by Miss Baker's class?• The beans were planted by the. nature study class of last spring. As they became mature they were sold to the dormitory. They were, cooked and served to the students boarding there. Miss Baker is intending to use the money for a worthy purpose. It is to be used for a bird sanctuary. So when you see a number of small bird nouses - on the campus, remember the beans were responsible.' ASSEMBLY NOTES In expressing his satisfaction that so many Normal students attended the Minneapolis Symphony Conceit, Dr. Nash, in assembly Friday, gave a few reminiscences of his own musical opportunities in the days when he attended Leipzig University. He recalled the fact that he enjoyed the privilege of listening to such artists as Nordica, Paderewski and D'Albert for the enormous sum of twenty or twenty-five cents. Dr. Nash holds that this appreciation of music, gained early in his life, has enriched his whole experience.

Walk toward the hill up the little road until you come to the garden patch and take the path leading to your right. After crossing the fence if you will " c u t " up the hill about fifty feet, you will find' the new path, thus saving quite a walk. Take this path, towards the Normal, until you reach the path leading up. Proceed as in No. 2. Now that we have reached Initial Rock, what is there to see? First, we discover how the rock obtained its name by the countless initials all over it. NOTE: These articles were suggested when the fine weather was prevailing. We print them hoping that the weather may clear up so that the student body may enjoy what Bellingham and the surrounding country has in store for them. In case the weather, does not clear up, these may be filed away and referred to in the spring. We are sure you will certainly enjoy your stay in Bellingham if you visit the beauty spots which surround us. a point where a small path leads you on left to a high rock. The main path from here on is not used very much and has become overgrown with brush and ferns. Climb the path to this rock and you will be able to get a fairly good view of the bay. Take the path leading-over the rock down through the little valley and you will come to Initial Rock. The third way is just about the same as the second, only you walk around the Normal Circle to where the cement sidewalk commences on the South Side. SUNSETS ON BELLINGHAM BAY Surely everyone has heard of the far-famed Bellingham sunsets. Dr. Curry, of the Boston School of Expression, who was with us last summer, spoke very highly of them. He said the Bellingham sunsets "Somehow were different." One of the best places to view the sunset is from Initial Rock, on Sehome Hill. There are three ways of reaching this rock. "The first way is to take the steps up to the path, which are just behind the training school. Go straight up the path. This is the steepest way of all and you must have a sense of humor and quite a bit of endurance to scale the slippery path which leads almost perpendicularly up. .' The second way is to start as before — going iip the steps. Just after you enter the woods you will find a path turning to the right and running parallel to the bank. Follow this path until you come to a point just about opposite the site they are clearing for the infirmary. You will find a well-defined path leading up to your left. It is the path made last fall by the city authorities and has several short stairways on the way to the'top. FoHowthis path until you reach From this vantage point we can-see,all of Bellingham and the bay with points of interest, Lummi and Eliza Islands, and numerous other islands. To the' south we see Chuckanut Mountain where the Chuckanut Marathon is held every year by the Normal student body: This point of interest will be discussed in another article. To the east rises the Cascade Range and surmounting all is lordly Mt. Baker, a snow-capped peak which rises for 11,000 feet above the level of the sea. There are many other things to see, but we will not tell you of them, thus spoiling them by telling of their wonders in mere words. (It is suggested that you take someone along with you who knows the country and can point.out to you the points of interest.) Sunset viewed from Initial Rock is beyond description and furnishes " food for thought." Imagine, if you can, the islands, bays, hills, city, etc., lighted up by the glow of the setting sun, while over the bay there is a golden path from you to the setting sun. See for yourself! Next week we will tell you about the way out to "Sunset Trail," sometimes called " Lo%rers' Lane." IT IS NOT ALWAYS EASY To apologize, To begin over, To take advice, To be unselfish, To admit error, To face a sneer, To be charitable, To be considerate, To avoid mistakes, To keep on trying, To endure success, To forgive and forget, To profit by mistakes, To think and then act, To keep out of the rut, To make the best of little, To shoulder deserved blame, To subdue an unruly temper, To maintain a high standard, To recognize .the silver linings But it always pays. —N.Y.

Major Dinner Saturday evening, the twenty-fifth of September, the physical education major girls enjoyed a chicken dinner in the home economics dining room. Potatoes were conspicuous by their absence, but according to Miss Moffat, bread and gravy made a very delightful substitute. After dinner everyone revealed their, family history, including where they came from, age, married or single or otherwise. Needless to say the singles predominated. How could it be otherwise at Normal? • SIGNS OF THE TIMES The first night that we arrived in Bellingham we named the town the " City of Signs."." First we came to the foot of a •- hotel stairway and were greeted with, this notice, " Wipe your feet." Some of the signs seen are "'. Drive Slowly," which is followed" by '.'.Thank You." But; the most amusing" notice was r over the gallery exit of - the OWEN MARKET PUBLIC MARKET Pay Cash and Save Money See Us for Hi Grade Candies at Popular Prices F. I W00LW0RTH CO. 5c-l0-15c Store American Theater. As far as we could see there was only one door; but over this one in large letters was written, " This entrance for exit only." — DONNA E. SARJENT Training School Notes The good old theory, "Earl a dollar, then spend it," is being worked out in the primary department in a manner at once instructive and disciplinary. These children planted vegetables in the school back yard early last spring. They are now selling them and already have ten dollars. With the money they will buy a projective for the purpose of illustrating geography, history lessons, current events, etc. Miss Clara Gordon, coming to us from Cakima, recently, assumed the duties of first grade supervisor. We extend to her a hearty welcome to Bellingham and wish her every success in this new undertaking. Last Wednesday, the seventh grade entertained the junior high school with a bird game in an assembly. These young people are very familiar with our bird friends, and witlr but one or two exceptions every bird described, by the junior high students was. guessed correctly. We have had occasion since we have been reporting for the training "school to wish that Father Time had decreed for us a beginning in the 1910's. ' An experiment is on trial, that of making the lesson interesting by making a personal application wherever possible, or actually demonstrating the iesson. Old arithmetic came out of his dry, hard shell last week when the class in wheels and axles was taken out to inspect the apparatus used in mo%ing the big white house across the campus.

It serves good wholesome food at as low cost as possible. Reports show 90 to 100 students are taking advantage of the warm meal at noon. The cafeteria, according to Miss Longley, is entirely self-supporting. Formerly the cafeteria was run ; by the Y: W.

Miss Montgomery received the nomination for the office of state superintendent of schools on the Democratic ticket at the primary election. As the election will take place on November 2, the campaign will be short and fast. Since Miss Montgomery, is situated in the northwest section of the state, within twenty miles of the boundary, she .is'.'placed in some difficulty. Being unable to purchase an organ for publicity, she is forced to resort to the use of cards. If every, student would send out even one it would greatly- help in getting her (Continued on page 2.) DEAN OF UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK SPEAKS ON EDUCATION Gives Splendid Address "Democracy is not merely a form of government, but is something larger," said Dr. James B. Balliet, dean of the department of education of the University of New York, in an address to the Normal students Monday, September 27. "Democracy means freedom to order our own lives, politically or otherwise. A democracy is a protest against autocracy." Dr.. Balliet's subject was "Education for the New Democracy." He named (Continued on page 2.) TO MEN OF SCHOOL SAY " IN UNITY THERE IS STRENGTH" Ericksoii Is President Thursday of last week the men of the school met with Dr. Miller, men's advisor, to organize and elect officers for the year. After considerable balloting and political excitement; • Archie Erick-sbn was elected president; Clinton Pruner, vice president, and Herbert Hansen, secretary-treasurer. All the men in school are members, and. due to their relatively small number are bound closely together by this organization. As yet no definite plans for social activities *h»ve been formulated, but they will include banquets and "smokeless smokers" such as were held last year. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1920 October 1 - Page 2 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1920 ANNUAL MIXER TO BE GIVEN TONIGHT (Continued from page 1.) ; - the best time and place to learn his or her name and enjoy a good social time -together. Refreshments will be served after the games in the "big gym" which will follow the gathering in the assembly hall. Will we be there? Why ask such foolish questions? DR. BALLIET OF NEW YORK SPEAKS TWICE (Continued from page 1.) four kinds of democracy — political, economic, industrial and social. These democracies rose in protest against autocracies and war was the result. " I t is for us to find a way to correct this by training young people in those lines which will enable them to think out and solve these problems. We cannot teach anything in schools more vital than knowledge that violence is criminal." The speaker gave a short comparison of the democracies in England and America. In conclusion he said " It is the duty of educated men and women to contribute their share in the making of public opinion. Education is training for leadership. We must train educated people in order to give them power to think on these problems. In his talk, given in assembly on Tuesday, Mr. Balliet took up the problem of reading in the grades. He said, " Which is the more important — to teach a child to read in the shortest possible time so he can read by himself or teach him to read so he can read in the shortest possible time to the rest of his years?" Dr. Balliet brought out many points that proved his scholarship and thought in the teaching'of reading. A few of these are: The child must not be conscious of the printed page. " Printed words are like window panes; they are things to look through and not things to look at. " Meaning of words is caught through association of objects. Reading should be taught in a way that students make association direct. " Slow reading and thoughtful reading do not always go together.." partment and a member of the Class of '05, has charge of a drive covering the Alumni of our school. This was suggested to him by Mrs.- Eethel Everett Munn, of the original Class of '04, who asked him to present the matter to the 3,000 Alumni. It is hoped that they will raise at least $2,000. ; Mr. Kibbe states in a letter he has written to the Alumni that he expects everyone to give as much as possible in amounts of $15 to $50. Mr. Charles Allen, of Seattle, has donated most generously large sums to this fund. He has offered to duplicate any sum given by Alumni, Faculty or friends of the Normal School. It is hoped that the sum of $25,000 will soon be reached. CAFETREIA IS NOW MANAGED BY SCHOOL (Continued from page. 1.) partment should take charge. The Y. W. C. A. carried on the cafeteria very successfully for six years. The cafeteria, now has a cook and manager, Mrs. Richards, who is in charge. She has six girls helping her, each of whom gives an hour a day. The lunches, consisting of potatoes, meat, a vegetable, buns and dessert, cost between 20 and 30 cents. The cafeteria is open at 11:45 to convenience those students who have no 11 o'clock classes; they may thus avoid the. rush of the noon hour.

Her platform contains the following: To the Voters: Your votes are solicited on the following points and promises: 1 — Long, faithful and successful service in every department of school work in our wonderful state. 2 — All schools wisely prohibit political activity. The highest educational position in the state should be placed on the judicial ticket, so the office shall not bear the brand of the party in power. 3 — The chief purpose of education is the building of character which will intelligently function in the home, the state, the nation. If elected, I shall constantly bear this in mind. 4 — As each day brings problems and new approaches to old ones, the office pledges that such problems shall be adjusted by consultation and co-operation with taxpayers, teachers and educational leaders. , 5 — The business of the administration shall be met with the same spirit that has made a relative success of my personal affairs.

A professional game of "baseball in which the "Dubs" beat the "Boobs" started the evening's entertainment. Various other games were played until the cooks had opened the beans and spread the table with other eatables. At the close of the banquet everyone present arose and told in turn who they were and where they came fronv It was also suggested that they tell where they were going. Only one truthful answer was received, however, and that was from Noel Wynne, who expressed a fond desire to go to bed. The Philos had as their guests about thirty new students in school who desire to join the club. _ PHILOS The first important club meeting of the season was that of the Philos, who met on Tuesday and elected officers for the first quarter as follows: President, Herbert Hansen; vice president, Josephine Hawley; secretary and treasurer, Eleanor Simpson; critic, Maragret Zur-brick.

So far only three of our exchanges have appeared on the scene. We hope that there will be .more later. They are: The Everett " Kodak," the " Generator" from Santa Ana High School in California, and the "Once a Week," a boys' paper published here in Bellingham; in fact, the only boys' paper published in the Northwest. The Kodak, Everett, Washington: Glad to see you back again, Kodak, and we hope to see quite a few pictures of your high school life through you. Don't use so much space bragging about your football team, as pride comes before the fall. You had a splendid team last year but you cannot do things on its reputation. At that, we envy you because we were so handicapped that a football team of our own this year is impossible. Once a Week, South Bellingham: Still on the job. All last summer you were the only onie to brighten the weary hours. We wish you continued success in every way with your paper. Generator, Santa Ana, California: Glad to see you again because we did not have time to become well acquainted last year. Y. W. C. A. The first meeting of. the Y. W. C. A. • was held Sunday, September 19th in the Y. W. C. A. rooms. Miss Sperry addressed the members. As a leader of this organization Miss Sperry wishes it to be one of the livliest in the school and urges all new students and especially those away from home to join the Association that they may enjoy and appreciate its benefits. At the Y. W. C. A. meeting on Thursday an address was given by Miss Ethel Sutherland, delegate to the Y. W. conference at Seabeck, which was held from August. 28 to September 5. She had the privilege of meeting girls from many schools and colleges of the Northwest, besides national secretaries from New York and experts in Association work among college women. Her address was most interesting. [Start the new school f y e a r right w i th your eyes free from ! strain. If in doubt, i consult Wollv t h e I Optometrist, 205 Wi S Holly Street. Belgian Lieutenant Relates Experiences Belgium, a one hundred per cent industrial nation, is the only country in Europe which has returned to normal conditions, according to a statement made by Lieutenant Henri DeMan, well known Belgian, who addressed the Normal students Monday morning. He further stated that it is accepted by the government of Belgium- that power must be equally divided between labor and employer, and a majority of the employers agree to this fifty-fifty authority. To meet the need, industrial councils, representing both employer and employee were organized. Education of the worker began before the war but the ordinary university type of teaching did not reach the mind of the worker who was physically exhausted from his day's work. Through experimentation it was discovered that the professors knew the theory of labor but did not have the concrete knowledge which the worker had gained through practical experience. This led to the development of a method of education which generalized the concrete knowledge of the worker. Lieutenant DeMan, who has taught economics in the University and to the laborers, says that he has found the work very inspiring because of the workers' desire for knowledge. : In reply to questions asked-by the faculty a few points were brought out as follows: Labor organizations are not confined to manual labor but there are teachers' unions and physicians unions. Unions are organized on an industrial basis and •• hot^craft.* AN INVITATION — TO THE — FASHION SHOW Saturday Evening at the Y. W. C.A.

BOWSHER this paper and the money thus secured pays the bills and makes publication possible. Some advertisers seem to think that they are contributing to charity. They are mistaken. The five hundred students now in school can conclusively prove this to them if they will promise first and foremost to buy from Messenger advertisers and to go to others only when it is impossible to secure an article from a Messenger advertiser. In this way it will be definitely pointed out to the business men that the Normal School is a decided asset to them and that Messenger advertising pays.

We learn that he is now recovering and will henceforth be able to lie as usual." So it is with the present incumbent of the editorial chair of the Messenger. When, last June we turned over the Messenger to our successor for the summer term we did not entertain the slightest thought of ever again contributing to this paper in an official capacity. However, upon our return to school this fall it was suggested that we take up the editorship once more. We hesitated for some time, but as no other editor was forthcoming, finally consented to fill the vacancy until another could be secured. Therefore, we say that we are back on the job; are recovering our old familiarity with the work; " and will henceforth be able to lie as usual." " On once occasion Aristotle was asked how much educated men were superior to those uneducated. ' As much,' said he, ' as the living are to the dead.' " PATRONIZE YOUR ADVERTISERS We take this occasion at the beginning of the school year to point out to the new students that if it were not for the business men of Bellingham the Messenger would be an impossibility. From week to week they advertise their goods through the columns of The weather prophets of Bellingham forecast a month or six weeks of glorious autumn weather. There could be no better time of the year to view the numerous beauty spots of Bellingham. Commencing with next week's issue the Messenger will print a series of illustrated articles on Bellingham and its environs, showing the points of interest to students and giving directions as to how to reach them. These pictures that we have secured for the Messenger are of exceptional beauty and are well worth seeing in the original. The articles accompanying them will be interesting and of value to the hiker and sightseer. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF If you consider yourself a worm of the dust, you must expect people to trample on you. If you make a door-mat of yourself, people are sure to wipe their feet on you. More men fail through ignorance of their strength than through knowledge of their weakness. You may succeed when others do not believe in you, but never when you do not believe in yourself. The curiosity of him who wishes to see fully for himself how the dark side of life looks, is like that of the man who took a torch into a powdermill to see whether it would really blow up or not. — DR. O. S. MARDEN. " Most people have good intentions, but good intentions never bring results unless accompanied by hard work and persistent effort." "Just because you cannot say anything good about people, does not necessitate that you must, say something bad about them. There is some good in every one, it all depends upon your point of view." You can't hang a ten-thousand-dollar education on a 50-cent boy. Though it would be a crime if a dollar boy or a million-dollar boy should have only a 50-cent education put on him. — DAVID STARR JORDAN. -1ISIS1I21I1™™^ iiiHimiiimiiimiimimimiimmiimm immimiiiiimimiciim'i'S = =' '"""immimiHiiii! iiiiiiiiiimiiinmii 11 itimuiimmimmiiimiiimimiiiiiiiiim iiiiiiimimiiiiiiimmmiimiiiimi iiiimimiimiiiMimmiiimmitiiiiuiiMii« lt;iMiMiMii£S Mm Are Sfaur Men are four: He who knows and knows he knows; U he is wise, follow him.

On Saturday he went to Stan wood and on Wednesday afternoon officiated in the Fairhaven- Whatcom games. Whatcom won both games, the first by a score of 60-0; the second 26-0. Last Wednesday evening the physical education majors gave a theater party at the Minneapolis Symphony concert at the American Theater. President and Mrs. Nash entertained about forty guests at their home following the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra concert, honoring Miss Florence McBeth, soloist; Mr. Emil Oven-hoffer, conductor,- and Mr. Wendel Heighton, manager. The first meeting of the training teachers was held Tuesday morning. At a meeting of the Faculty Forum held in Room 120, Tuesday afternoon, Dr. Balliet spoke briefly to the faculty. He emphasized the necessity for broad and thorough mastery of the common branches, and stressed especially the lack of knowledge among Normal school graduates, of history and geography. Dr. Balliet speaks from experience in many phases of educational work. For fifteen years he was a superintendent of schools, has been a teacher in a Normal School and at present does actual teaching in pedagogy in the University of New York. Dr. Balliet's visit was an inspiration to everyone privileged to hear him. The Steppes We have eight Steppeites so far. They are the Messers. Wright, Bowsher, Pruner, Hannah, Bohanna, Samuelson, Wynn and Allison. Yes, Hannah is a boy. No, we do not have twins here, even if we do have Hannah and Bohanna. Mr. Wright and Mr. Hannah were re-centely voted into the Philos. That makes five Steppeites who are Philos. Mr. Wynn spent Saturday and Sunday at his home in Ferndale. We have assumed our old name to avoid complications. We were known as Bernice Hall this summer, but since then other matters have come up and we, the Steppeites, feel that Roswell might object. This is all for this time, and we hope to have more for the edification of the young ladies next time. If you watch this column you will be able to keep tab on any young man at the Steppes except the writer. — A. E. BOWSHER Assembly Notes One of the most beneficial, interesting and instructive assemblies of the year was the assembly on Wednesday, September 29, when Mrs. Thatcher talked on symphony orchestras and illustrated her talk by pictures of the various, instruments that make up such an orchestra. Mr. Carter, representative of the Northwest Community Service, gave an interesting talk on the work of that organization. The assembly closed with three films, " Delight," " In Higher Spheres" and "Nines and a half." The gods and goddesses of Mount Olympus were cordially invited to attend the " Notta Show," given by the people in the valley below by Mr. Ewing, principal. of Whatcom High .

' * • " • ' One of the first affairs of the Normal season was the mixer given last Friday evening by the- young people's class of the Presbyterian Church. The "mixer" was all it was meant to be and could not have been more appropriately named. More than one hundred and fifty students enjoyed this hospitality which offered a means of becoming better acquainted. The reception which the class, assisted by Rev. and Mrs. H. S. Temple-ton, extended, is a true expression of the cordiality of the Bellingham people in welcoming students to the "Normal by the Sea." * * *- " Ye gods and goddesses " did descend to the valley, as was requested by Principal Ewing of the High School. A more pleasing end of a descent could not have been hoped for than that in which many of our students found themselves upon reaching Whatcom High School last Friday evening. They said they were " Notta-Sho," they claimed not to be what they were, but they were exactly what they claimed not to be — a real show. The cry "which the higher division of the mortals, or so-called Seniors gave — "There may be flies on some of you guys, ; But there ain't no flies on us," certainly applies to the spirit of the whole " dwelling." It is hoped that in the course of future years many of the entertainers will take it upon themselves to ascend to our abode on the "heights" to strengthen their evident talents, as well as to learn our proficient ways of teaching the rest of the "human beings of the valley." * • # -it- Saturday evening the young people's class of the Methodist Church entertained for the Normal students. Games were played and a most happy hour was spent around the cheery fireplace. # * * The first of a series of banquets, which the former students of the University of Washington are planning was held Wednesday, the 22nd, at 6:30 in the Pheasant Tea Room. Following the banquet the alma mater songs were sung and the new; members were initiated by giving their respective " pedigrees." Dancing followed. Several of the Normal students and teachers were here. It is hoped that attendance in the future will be1 large, for these gatherings revive the U. of W. spirit ai;d provide a jolly time for former students. Dr. Nash in addressing the students told of a letter received from our musical director, Madame Engberg, who during the past summer has been touring through France,. Norway, Denmark and Germany. She tells of many inter-to the full," said Eva Bond, president of the Students' Association, in her welcoming remarks. "Then I would also suggest that you visit the lakes, rivers and climb the mountains. You may then have as fine an experience as I had this summer when I climbed Mt. Baker." Dr. Nash, after bringing before the students the standardization tests which esting experiences and sends her greetings. The assembly was concluded with two reels of educational films, one on "Salt," the other a scenic picture. ; " Reserved books may be borrowed for use at 5:00 P. M. on condition that they are returned to the library on or before 9:00 A. M. the day following such withdrawal." Reserved books, then, are in the library all day between 9:00 A. M. and 5:00 P. M. If you wish to use them during this time, sign the yellow slip which the librarian has prepared and put the slip in the tray. Do not leave the library. Students failing to meet this condition are denied the privilege of taking these class books out of the library during the remainder of the quarter. Delinquencies during the latter part of the quarter mean forfeiture of library privileges. - Glenn Hughes Progresses Glenn Hughes, who is now a member of the dramatic art department of the University of Washington, has been chosen on the editorial staff of the literary magazine, the University intends to put out this year.

As the musical part of the program Mr. Joe Hermeson delighted the students- with three vocal solos, " Give a Man a Horse He Can Ride," " Morning " and "Dear Old -Pal o'"Mine," encore.4 " Join a literary society or a social club and give them all your loyal support if you would enjoy your school year will have to be passed by the students of the school, presented the members of the faculty to the new students, each member giving a short, interesting talk. The school is now running smoothly with an enrollment of exactly five hundred. Mildred Robinson, prominent young violinist, accompanied by Charles Bowen on the piano, delighted the student body and faculty with two selections in the assembly on Wednesday, September 22. The selections "Serenade" by Shubert, arid " Serenade" by Dfdla, were enthusiastically received arid Miss Robinson was- encored again and again.' Marion Kirkpatrick, daughter of Dr. Kirkpatrick of the Fitchbury, Mass., Normal, who Was an exchange professor at the Normal four years ago, is now singing at the Capitol Theater, New York City.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes, But the plural of ox should be oxen, not oxes. Then one fowl is a goose, but two are called geese, Yet the plural of moose should never be meese. You may find a lone mouse or a whole nest of mice, But the plural of house is houses, not hice. If the plural of man is always called men Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen? The cow in the plural may be cows or kine And the plural of vow is vows, not vine. If I speak of a foot and you show me your feet, And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet? If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth, Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth? If the singular's this and the plural is these Should the plural of kiss ever be nicknamed keese? Then one would be that and three would be those, Yet hat in the plural would never be hose, And the plural of cat is cats, not cose. We speak of a brother and also of brethren, But though we say mother, we never say methren. ! tt4?*4?«fr*,4?Tt4?4?4?4?4?4;4?4'4,4?4?^*^4,,i,' gt; Of Course You Will be at the Mixer This Evening 7:30 P.M.

XIX BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 1920 NO. 44 ENTERTAIN SENIORS Dr and Mrs. Nash have extended a cordial invitation to the members of the graduating class and the faculty of the Normal School to attend a reception to be given at their home, 1710 Eldridge avenue, at eight o'clock, Wednesday evening. . Those who have enjoyed the Nash hospitality tell us that the occasion will live long in our memories as Dr. and Mrs. Nash have proved~to be a delightful host and hostess. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Scott, of Juneau, Alaska, announce the arrival of Robert Sinclair Scott, on June 28th. Mrs. Scott was formerly Miss Sarah Ormsby, head of our home economics department. THE BACCALAUREATE The baccalaureate sermon delivered at the eleven o'clock hour at the Garden Street Methodist church last Sunday morning, is one which will be long remembered by those present. The message, one £ gt;f inspiration to all, was addressed to those who, leaving the Normal School for the last time, are going forth to do their bit in the struggle for the betterment of humanity and civilization along educationaKlines. Dr. Elliot's subject was " Human Requirements for the Needs of the World." He emphasized our need of leaders be they state, church or other vocations. To be a leader, one must have intelligence and a true; knowledge of conditions as they axe. He pointed to (Continued on page 2.) iiiiiniiiiiiiTiiinininnniiiinirtiimnmnmunimuiiitiitinmuiitiuiiuiiiiiiiiiiuiniiiitiiiuiiiMiiiiiiiiiiinniiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiimimiii mimii i utmiiiiiiiiiiiiii iimiiinu iminiiiiiiiiiiiiiitimit iimiiiiiiriiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiHitmiitiiiiiiitimiii tmmimmmmmmiimmmiimmim tiiimmiii iiiimn ti i u mmmmmimiimimmmiiitimiiiiinif mmmmmmmi m i i mm immmmm miimmmmiimiimmmm minimum i it iMiiiMiuiMiiniiciinini[iiiiMt[itfHft»(Uftiiitirfctiiririiriitn[Jii lt;i!i;;iiiiIn[irrinr gt;»ii" gt;»uii[i«iiijiiiiijrijjiriij;jiiiiiiii;iiiji.!ii)iii.iii,iiiJi]tiijiriijtjijiiinijijiiiiiiiiiiii mum i i mmmmmm imimmmmm minium imiimiiimimmmmimmimmii OAY EXERCISES The graduating exercises will be held in the Normal School auditorium, Friday morning, August twentieth, at half-after nine o'clock. The invocation and benediction will be delivered by the Rev. Mr. Engebret-sqn, of Oakland, Calif. Mr. Engebret-son is in" Bellingham to attend the graduation of his daughter, Miss Alice En-gebretson. Dr. James E. Crowther, of Seattle, will speak to us on the subject of "The World's Frontier." A special musical program has been arranged, comprising songs by Mrs. Spratley. and Choral Club music. The Presentation of the Class will be delivered by Dr. Nash, president of the Normal School, and the Presentation of the Diplomas by Chairman Walter B. Whitcomb, of Bellingham. At the opening of the exercises the class will march in a body into the auditorium, solmenly but proudly withal, as is fitting upon such an occasion. Alas and alack! They hope there will be ample time for them to march out as proudly and stijl have an opportunity to catch the 11:50 train for home and the loved ones awaiting them. The following is the roll call of the graduates of August, 1920: Aldrich, -May Wilson AirtK, Lelia Anderson,: Wilbert Bancroft Clyde' Bartp,- Grace ; Bassett,: Fern Bennink, May, Bixby, Florence Bjorlie, C.

Scene — Comfortable sitting room; rosy lights from slowly dying embers playing on the walls; sound of soft music. Character —1920 Senior. Class song. Ah — I could not resist that song tonight! What renewed that olden spell of memories? August 20? Why of course! The very day I graduated from dear old B. S. N. S. How much that day means, with its joy of commencement and sadness of separation. Sep7 aration! What a sting that word has! But only in that inevitable fate was the 1920 class like other classes. I can fairly live again those days proceeding commencement. What days they were —full of work and play — and reminiscences. . School activities were planned early. The Class of 1920 was always ready to furnish that which is necessary to make Bellingham Normal life worth while. There was an abundance of initiative and cheerfulness. With quiet enthusiasm and cheerfulness. With quiet enthusiasm and dignity the Seniors of 1920 shouldered the responsibilities of social life, dramatics, athletics and of keeping up the school standards. It was through the leadership of the Class of 1920 that the clever mixer given June 25 was such a treat. Their influence exerted great pressure in making the mountain and island trips, the picnics and hikes good rollicking times. Mixer? That recalls our Senior mixer — how very ordinary that sounds. But only in name was it so. To the Class of 1920 "Senior Mixer" means an event that surpassed the brightest fancies — even though we hied away to Chuckanut on Friday the thirteenth. Time has gone apace. Time, however, has not erased memories — memories of the helpful responsiveness of our class advisors, Professor Bever, Dr. Miller and Miss Druse, and memories of the life which the dear B. S. N. S. alone can give. " Up from the spirit-depths ringing, Richly your melody swells, Sweet reminiscences bringing, Joyous-toned memory-bells!" 1 — Conserve air by eliminating some of the unnecessary conversation. 2 — Conserve shoe leather by refraining from wandering through the halls; remember you're supposed to be a student, not a floorwalker. 3 — If you are hungry, go out and get something to eat—: don't stand around chewing the rag. 4 — We have had wheatless days and meatless days. Let us have feetless days. Keep your feet on the floor, not on the rounds of the chairs. 5 — If you feel that you must hum, whistle or talk during assembly hour, please do so in German so the rest of the students will have an excuse for throwing a book at you. 6 — Any person or persons having as part of their lunch limburger cheese will kindly seclude themselves until the ordeal is over. There is a strong reason for this. 7 — Just because our soldiers used a lot of ammunition in Europe, don't think you have to powder your nose every ten minutes. 8 —" Make the world safe for democracy" — stop leaving milk bottles around the Normal Grocery. 9 — "Save a loaf a week.' Just because you've got crust, don't think you can loaf around all day — even if you are well bred.". 10 — If you are any distance from home, and after leaving this institution have to take a sleeper to get there, be. careful what you say after retiring.

Greece, Rome and even England showing that the intelligence of these nations was confined to a small group, and called to mind that it was our own America whose government first applied methods of universal education, hence in America of today, we have widespread intelligence. A leader must also be adaptable—fit into his environment, and by the example of his daily life reach those who can be reached in no other way. This involves self-sacrifice, a sympathetic understanding of conditions in the life of the child, that by help and guidance he may become a missionary in his own home for improvement. A leader must absolutely put his life into his work. His judgment must be true, his ability be seen and felt in order that he gain a following. His life every minute must be that of a man four-square, for it is the example of the teacher which forms the ideals, often, of the whole community. Those who heard Dr. Elliot will enter their teaching this fall with his words fresh in their minds, and heartened by them, will undoubtedly attack their problems with greater understanding and sympathy. We, one and all, thank Dr. Elliot for his- splendid message. Senior: "Junior President, how could you afford to buy those new blinds ? " Junior President: "My customers paid for them." Senior: " I do hot understand." Junior: "I placed a box with a slit in it on the ice cream counter and labeled it " For the blind." Senior girl to new acquaintance: "Do you like popcorn balls?" New acquaintance (a Junior girl): " I don't know. I never attended one. You see I go to the Bellingham Normal." PARTY GIVEN FOR Oh, Girls! We had the most delightful time at Marion Lain's Saturday evening— a real party given especially for the graduating Alkisiah girls. Such a party! There was fun from beginning to end, which, alas, came all too soon. Marion almost had to send us home. Eats! I'll say there were! Among them were the most delicious "cakies" I have ever eaten. We, one and all, decided on the spot that we needed a Domestic Science course. Wasn't she a dear to have us? Tho she hasn't been in school for several years, she has always been a true Alkisiah and has shown her loyalty in many delightful ways. The Mail Bai We are printing letters, in part, that have been received from Miss Vera Moffat and Miss Esther Clark, giving accounts of some of their Alaska experiences. Miss Moffat relates: Dear Girls: I am trying to fulfill my promise and answer your joy-giving . letters with a brief account of our trip. We found the passengers on board the City of Seattle very pleasant and interesting. Among the interesting characters on board was a complete gypsy family and from infant to elders each and everyone smoked. However, they refused to be classed as gypsies and we were severely reprimanded when the young son heard us call him a gypsy. He said: "Me no gypsy. How can I be gypsy and speak American?" Nevertheless, during our three-hour stay in Ketchikan they disembarked, pitched their tent and were telling fortunes at a dollar per. The accommodations were excellent and we enjoyed the boat very much. The most scenic part of our voyage was from Seattle to Skagway. It is impossible to describe the grandeur of it all. We took the inside passage and the mountains formed a continuous border on both sides. The sunsets, snow caps, glaciers and ever-changing colors afforded a never-to-be-forgotten view. The sunsets are more gorgeous than those of Bellingham Bay and can be seen for hours. Can you imagine it? Our captain very graciously took a detour from Juneau in order that we might see Taku glacier, one of the largest in Alaska. We saw floating ice bergs before the glacier was visible. As we approached the glacier the whistle was blown and in a few seconds icebergs could be seen breaking from the glacier and crashing in the H20 below. This is due to the vibration caused by the whistle. In Skagway we stayed at the Pullen House, an attractive hotel for a village its size. Mrs Pullen, the owner of the hotel, is a typical Alaskan and very entertaining. One night she gave us a talk on her early experiences in Skagway and if ever we think our struggles are difficult we should compare them to hers. She was in Skagway during the days when the notorious "Soapy" Smith ruled supreme with knife and gun and she witnessed his murder in 1898. You may be interested to know why he was called "Soapy." In the early days he sold soap and around each bar he wrapped a $10 bill with a perforated covering. The customer paid a dollar for the soap, thinking he was receiving a prize bar, but as "Soapy" handed it over the counter he slipped the $10 out. This aroused our interest to such a degree that we hiked a few miles to see his grave; however, not to carry flowers to the dead villain. Mrs. Pullen showed us many wonderful beaded and fur gifts she had received from the Indians. One old chief gave her his royal robe which contained a hundred ermine skins and beautiful bead work. This was made by his squaw. Pier blankets and beads were the most marvelous we have seen. The beads were made from the windows of the cathedrals of Russia. — VERA MOFFAT TUESDAY, THE 27TH We had a most interesting trip out to the mines around Dawson. On the Klondike River they, have a huge dredger (the largest in the world) which dredges up the river bottom and runs it through a concentrator which separates the gold from the other minerals. On Bear Creek which runs through the Bonanza Valley where gold was first discovered they mine by hydraulic pressure— there they tear down the hills, run the "pay dirt" through sliuce boxes and the gold being heaviest it sinks to the bottom of these boxes. One old miner who came north in '98 let us " pan " gold and gave us the gold. This was the method they used in the early days, you know to determine whether or not they had gold on their claims. It is quite an art. With all this changing of the river beds and tearing down of the mountains it does seem as though in a time not far distant this gold country will be almost a different place. We are soon to reach White Horse, where we will spend the night and then on we go to Skagway again. This trip up the river has consumed four days while going down we made it in two days. You see the Yukon has an extremely swift current. Through Five Finger Rapids, in fact, they carried us through by means of a cable anchored to the shore. On the down-river trip we went through in two minutes and returning it took nearly an hour. The rapids were beautiful. In spite of the fact that it was 11 P. M., the sun was setting. These nightless days are distressing because when it is light enough to read, and the shops are open it is difficult to do what we have so much opportunity of doing in Bellingham ten months of the year — namely, sleeping. This stern-wheeler river boat is run by wood. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1920 August 20 - Page 3 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, AUGUST, 20, 1920 J' . _:-4.

We wish, first, to thank the members of the class who, through their contributions, have made the success of this paper possible. We realize that it has been at the cost of much time and labor, but we feel that the interest has been enough at heart to amply repay each sacrifice. Let us also take this opportunity of expressing our appreciation to the faculty for the aid and encouragement which they have given us. EDENS HALL SENIORS Dean Feme Bassett reading the " B " book of the W. S. N. S., Bellingham, for the current year 1930-31, read the lecture course announcements: "Anna Meyer, graduate of this school August, 1920, student of Mesdames Engberg and Weir, Bellingham; , New York, will play under the auspices "of the Women's Music Club." This reminded Dean Bassett of the summer days of 1920. As she thought, she seemed to hear Anna in the next room practicing diligently on her violin. Then visions of the other classmates appeared, Eva Main, the house president; Elsie Wilstead, her roommate, and Agnes Clippenger, who, a Junior once said, was more particular than Dean Woodard herself. As she allowed herself to relieve the. events of that summer she remembered the old hall and then the magnificent new dormitory. An idea: " I'll invite them to return for Anna's date." A hurried trip to the office of Frank Bowen, superintendent of training school, revealed the facts that Elsie was last heard from at Pratt. Eva was director of manual training in .the grades in Denver and Agnes had reported in 1924, that she had accepted [ a teaching position in Japan. The lat-ter's address was obtained from the student volunteer band and letters were posted immediately. In due time all were heard from and plans were slowly shaped for the reunion of the 1920. Senior Edenites. The day arrived, also Anna, Eva and Agnes (home on furlough), but where was Elsie? It was nearly time for the concert to begin when the girls' chatting in the old music room was interrupted by "Here you are!" from Elsie. "I've looked for you everywhere! Went to the old hall and they said it was the men's dormitory, then to the new dorm and — but say, Ferne, how did you manage to get that charming French maid to replace the old monitor system?" The gradual swelling applause from the auditorium reminded the girls that their visit must be postponed. The concert was an inspiration to all. It was followed by a reception for Madame Meyer in the parlor of the new dormitory. At a late hour the girls were shown to the guest rooms and what a night of peace and rest! They were awakened by chimes at 6:45 A. M. and since Anna was to leave at noon to meet her next engagement they prepared for an early meeting. Breakfast was served in the private dining room • connected with the dean's suite. Others present were Miss Vera Moffat and Miss Mowbray, who, like the dean, were there to help the girls live a joyous and well-balanced life. Next came a tour of inspection. Elsie was especially interested in the new and modern methods employed in the kitchen — Dutch oven, vegetable preparers, meat carvers, etc.; the beautifully appointed dining hall, wheel trays and Haviland, and the attractive little tea rooms on each of the three floors. Eva marveled at the serviceable built-in furniture, the clock-like mechanism of the disappearing beds, the neat hall seats, and the substantial but comfortable chairs. As she called our attention to these things we dared to wonder if the boys now living in Edens Hall had succeeded in finding the rat holes, gnawed during the night, had caught or killed the mice, etc.; had made the floors squeakless or the doors bangless; if they did their own laundry and had to use those old stationary tubs, et cetera ad infinitum. Anna went into ecstasies over the wonderfully equipped music rooms, one on each floor, from which no sound was audible till the opening of the door released the dorm choir practicing for Sunday vespers. On the roof Ferne surprised all by showing a veritable park with hardwood floor (if such things are possible). "Here," Dean Bassett explained, all girls appear at 6:55 A. M. and 9:55 P. M. for fifteen minutes of Swedish gymnastics under Miss Moffat, and it is otherwise used by the girls how and when, they choose. This sight encouraged Agnes to ask about the gymnasium, and she was informed that a new, immense and fully equipped gym was now a part of the school. Of course she had to see it and so great was her joy that it was with difficulty they prevented her from turning a handspring. From the gym the manual training shop was visited for Eva's special benefit. While here Mr. Rindall insisted all lunch at his home. Tt was nearly time for Anna's train so they bade her farewell and set out for the Rindall home. What a pleasant hour they spent there! A few more hours and Eva and Elsie took the 6 o'clock boat for Seattle. Agnes stayed till Monday in order that she might meet with the student volunteer band on Sunday afternoon. Ferne had been so successful in her work of character building in the junior high schools of the state that she was considered the only acceptable person to succeed Miss Woodard when the latter severed her connection with the Normal because of ill health and returned to her old home in Ohio. — ANEVFEAGEJ. EDENS FIVE -2-FIVE WHO'S WHO AND WHAT THEY DO Are we Seniors at Five-2-Ffve sta-- dious? Certainly, certainly. That is implied in the name "Senior." But our middle name is "picnic." These Seniors (and of course no one else in the house-counts) are Miss Georgina McKenzie, Miss Myrtle Major, Miss Ola Haysom,.; Miss Cunningham, Miss Gertrude Jack-: son, Miss Helen Edwards and the two: girls who finished in July — Pearle Nes-; sen and Alta Sears. Each name is started with a "Miss" because that is; the only way "we as Seniors should be! addressed. About half the house are Seniors, and of course the more important half. Gertrude Jackson very much enjoys; the " knights" this summer, as well as the days. ' Georgia accepts dinner invitations galore, but she must be on a bean diet for she is still a bean-pole. But Ola is not "skinny." Ola's friend is not "normal" so we can mention him no more. Her mother and little sister spent last Wednesday night with her. We are in love with Ola's mother and the apples she brings. Wonder why Helen can not set the alarm right. Alta Sears reclines near an elastic fan in Arthur, Illinois. Oh for the cooling West! Pearle Nessen is in Washington — so no reclining for her. She is as nimble as a squirrel when it comes to cherry trees, and as for other times, she is either entertaining delightfully or is away and away to be entertained. Miss Major is not "Rude," but — never mind, Myrtle, we were looking at the moon. We are glad Myrtle is a "Major," for we would hate to have any " minor " strains among us. The preceding paragraphs tell why each Senior at Five-2-Five is in Who's Who, but this honor is in large part due to the picnics enjoyed collectively. Before Alta and Pearle went to their respective homes, we had a supper at Squalicum and even let the Juniors go that time. We did not have a lawn party on the knoll of the campus — but what of that? It has been in our minds for weeks, so we will tell it as it should have happened. The party was given just as the after-glow of sunset faded away. Many Japanese lanterns brightened the lawn with their colors and the lights and shadows cast as they swung between the trees. The Juniors were not present, but admired our stately gaiety from the distance of across the street. A thing of wonderful reality was the watermelon feed. Iced watermelon was not to be scorned, but its slippery seeQs sent by deft fingers were surely meant to be dodged. Next fall we all go forth to teach in the wide world where most of us have already served a few years, but long will we remember the days we have had together and with the rest of the 1920 Seniors. August Seniors, you and I. We're in Who's Who — but why? Because we're Seniors of Five-2-Five. And we'll teach now till we die. Know all men by these presents, that we, the Seniors of the Bever House, being of sound mind and hard hearts, do declare this to be our last will and testament. To Victoria Huston we leave our earnest wish that as she travels through life she may find many people who are willing to have their faces slapped. We have been the martyrs who, in the past, have suffered from her love of such exercise and we hope that there may be many others to follow in our footsteps. We leave to Elizabeth. Del Duca the ability to giggle. Not that she needs such ability, being already overblessed but because we feel that she will make more of it than any other person to whom it could be bequeathed. We also leave to said Elizabeth maiiy hours of uninterrupted piano" practice. To Anita Reese we leave our love and the hope that green apples will have no lasting effect upon the sunniness of her disposition. ' We" leave to Dorothea McCauley the pleasant anticipation of returning to Bellingham next summer. We trust that she will have a room-mate who will continue the good work begun this summer of making her into an obedient and docile child.

We leave to Frances Erickson the memory of the happy breakfasts which she has enjoyed.

II I j m um I I I I lim ;I lignum Profesor Philippic, who has just returned from the east, promises us that the department of hygiene will be better than ever next year. He was sent to New York to inquire into this work. Everyone Interested in the Normal is certainly rejoicing over the fact that the Normal is soon to have a first class athletic grounds. The blasting of stumps in the "circle" the last few idays has surely been music to our ears. The tennis tournament has come to a close and the winners, Broadbent in -men's singles; Miss Halleck, in ladies' singles; Broadbent and Freeman, in Men's doubles; Miss Day and Mr. ©roadbent in mixed doubles; Misses •Halleck and Sterling in women's dou-ibles, all displayed the best of sportsmanship. An unusual interest was taken in the tournament, a total of fifty entries taking part and playing forty-five •matches. There were many hard Sought matches in the preliminaries, some of them going to "duce sets" and •having to go the limit to win. One of OUT assembly speakers recently pointed out, very eloquently and at some length, the value of co-operation and community work, touching upon its history and growth, a"nd emphasizing its social end educational value. AH these, theories and ideas are very fine and have their place in arousing us to greater •efforts along these lines, but going out •on the field and putting these things into practice is the most interesting and •helpful side of the story. One of the Normal's greatest opportunities for service is her co-operation with the community leaders in carrying out such a program. The part Miss Gladys Weir, with the ordhestra, and Miss Victoria Huston, with her dialect readings, took in the community program at Harmony Friday evening -is a good -illustration of this co-operation. . The young people werenot only courteously received aiid entertained, but they were pleasantly surprised at the-rapt attention and appreciative applause; which they received. Every number was encored; After the .program they were served with- light refreshments and returned to their homes in the city by cars from the community. And finally the community gets a 'better understanding of the spirit and -class of work the Normal is trying to maintain and of its usefulness as an educative organization in the state. • ' "."' •"• " .•". '." R. P. : Those who had the opportuniey of attending the piano recital at the Normal auditorium, last Monday evening, enjoyed a very rare treat. George C. Bailey, the blind pianist, of the University of Washington, entertained us with almost miraculous talent for a period of two hours or more. Mr. Bailey was very pleasing in appearance, announced his" selections in a very interesting manner and showed a wonderful sense of touch and time. Such an illustration of classical music and talent gives one a new appreciation for music. Lucile McGhee, who graduated from the Normal in 1918, was a visitor at the Normal School on Wednesday. Miss McGhee has been teaching during the past year in the Imperial Valley of California at Calipatria, which is just 30 miles from the Mexican line. During the summer she has attended the University of California. She is returning to Calipartia to teach during the coming year. Announcements have just been received of the marriage of Miss Ruth E. Conner '16 to Mr. Ralph Edmund Doherty, of Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. Doherty will be at home at 10626 Hampden Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio. The Normal School faculty and students wish for the couple a long and happy wedded life. Dr. Frank Deerwester, for several years a member of the Bellingham Normal faculty and now professor of psychology at the Pittsburg Kansas Normal School, arrived in the city Monday, August 9, accompanied by Mrs. Deer-wester and daughter, Miss Dorothy. They expect to remain here the remainder of the month and are occupy-^ ing a cottage on Lummi Island. Dr. Deerwester has been associated with the Normal School at Pittsburg during the past year. After leaving the Bellingham Normal School he conducted studies in psychology in training camps during the war. Miss Mayhew in English I: " ' gruesome ' in a sentence."

XIX BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, 1920 NO. 43 AN ASSEMBLY M A I It's always pleasant to learn what we never knew before, and most of us didn't know before last Wednesday morning that there was a perfectly good, lively orchestra in school. Under the direction of Gladys Weir, who is taking Miss Engberg's place during the summer, they made their debut in assembly. They filed on the platform and took their places as if they meant business, and they did, too. The selections rendered were as follows: "La Brunette," "The Golden Sceptre," and as encores they played "Star Light Love" and "Down by the Meadowbrook." The applause from the audience was plentiful for we wished more. However, good things come in small quantities, but we hope they come often. We appreciate your work, orchestra; play for us again. FOR STATE SUPT. M i s s Catherine Montgomery, B. A., h a s recently an-nonnced her candidacy on the Democ r a t i c ticket for state superintendent of schools. Miss Montgomery is supervisor of the primary department o f the Bellingham State Normal School. Following is an outline of her principles on which she is basing her candidacy: 1.—Long, faithful and successful service in every department of school work in our wonderful state. 2.-—All schools wisely prohibit political activity. The highest educational position in the state should be. placed on the judicial ticket so the office shall not bear the brand of the party in power. 3.—The chief purpose of education is the building of character which will intelligently function in the home, the state, the nation. If elected, I shall constantly bear this in mind. 4.—As each day brings problems and new approaches to old ones, the office pledges that such problems shall be adjusted by consultation and co-operation with taxpayers, teachers and educational leaders. 5.—The business of the administration shall be met with the same spirit that has made a relative success of my personal affairs. To "The Passion Play" With Dr. Nash '"•:}• The; greatest need of our country to- day is true manhood and womanhood — Selected. . - PROMISED TREAT REALIZED AT ASSEMBLY MONDAY That it is not necessary to go out of our midst to find a lecturer that is able to hold the student body in rapt attention for an hour was attested at the assembly period Monday morning when Dr. Nash took the students to see the " Passion Play" as he saw it at Ober-ammergau. As this is the time of the year and the year in which the " Passion Play " is ordinarily given, Dr. Nash promised to give the assembly an outline of the play. The promise was more than fulfilled, in either the pictures, the story, or the wealth of delivery. The " Passion Play" has been given every ten years for the last three hundred years by the inhabitants of the little town of Oberammergau, Germany, who, upon their deliverance from a pestilence, made a vow to do this thing as it has been for these many years. The last year that it was given, in 1910, the play was given about sixty times to accommodate the vast number of peopte that came to see it. It is estimated that forty thousand people saw the play that year. All of the spectators are provided accommodations by the village people, and, Dr. Nash assured us, it is very beautifully and systematically done in their clean little town. The play, itself, consists of eighteen acts, beginning in the morning at 8, continuing until 12, beginning again at 2, and ending, for the day, at 6 o'clock. Seven hundred players take part in the " Passion Play," and each spends the major part of their lives, from decade to decade, in perfecting that part to. which he is assigned. The actors use no makeup. If a youth is given a part, and in the passing of the ten years a beard has grown upon his face, he must forfeit his part to another youth. Many of the participants have been killed in the war. They are peace-loving and religious, but they were forced to take their place in the world conflict, and it is doubted whether the play can be reproduced for a few years to come. It will _ in time, however, be brought into its old order again. The proceeds from the production of the play are divided into funds. One fund for the improvement of the theater, one for the poor, one for improving (Continued! on page 2.)' _ CAPTAIN BROWN ALSO GAVE A BRIEF ADDRESS : We were especially fortunate to hear two splendid addresses at assembly Friday morning, the first by Captain W. E. Brown, a Red Cross worker in Italy during the war; the second by our (state governor, Louis F. Hart. . Captain Brown spoke briefly in a clear-cut forceful way of. teachers as the people who mold the mind and characters of children. If the minds of youths are to be directed toward a proper love of Christianity and. of country, home and school, the teacher must give a great deal of time and-attention to her work, and should receive a salary that will enable her to do so. The state should stand back of the teachers in this matter, and see 'Jhat pur school system be made practical for both teachers and pupils. Governor Hart gave us a very interesting talk, relating mostly, to the schools of the state and with many practical ingestions for getting the most out of life. A review follows: Some people's chief pleasure fs to commiserate over their misfortunes and troubles, but the ones who dp the. real work are those who take time for some pleasure and jolly good times along with their work. The office of governor carries with it a great deal, of work, for ours is a big state with many institutions that are directly under the supervision of the governor. There are many highways, costing the government millipns of dollars being constructed which must he inspected. No doubt the matter of schools is the most interesting to Normal students. At a special session of the legislature, a committee was appointed to draft a new school administration code, relating chiefly to the financial interests of the schools. The duty of the board is to provide a means of financing the affairs and directing the work of .-the-schools of the state. Education is a governmental function and as such the government should direct and control the public school system. Under the present school system, which has been changed very little since its first estabUshment, there is very little provision for a proper division of school funds. In one school district an average enrollment of fifty-five pupils was maintained at a cost of thirty-eight dollars per year. Another with an enrollment of ^nmefeyrmney- cost four hundred forty-two dollars. Both: systems are to blame. The first as too cheap and the second is wasting .money which would be of far greater; value if used to increase the salaries -of teachers. If properly managed and cpnfccplled, the money for educational .purposes -could be reduced from an average .pftpne;;hundred ten dollars to eighty dollars per ;V (Continued on page 20 ; ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1920 August 6 - Page 2 ---------- 2 THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, 1920 E E "The trip of my life," is the way any of those twenty-three sunburnt, swollen lipped, foot sore members of Dr. Herre's Biology party will answer you if asked about the recent Mt. Baker outing. The class,- accompanied by Professors Coughlin and Hunt of the Normal faculty and- a few Invited friends, left the ; city at the unearthly hour of five-thirty Friday morning and by nine were on the trail from Glacier to Mt. Baker's highest camping grounds. Four pack horses had been secured to convey the baggage and supplies from Glacier and these faithful friends of man with their human- like kindliness and intelligence contributed no small share to the pictur-esqueness of that long, winding trail, as they patiently and cautiously picked their way among the stragglers, over fallen trees and slippery stones, around overhanging precipices and across deep ravines. By three o'clock the first members of the party had reached "Hotel de Heliotrope at the snow line half way up the Roosevelt glacier, and by five the last straggelrs had covered the 10 and a half miles and were resting their tired limbs around the roaring camp fire. A sumptuous dinner was soon ready to strengthen and cheer the "inner man;" thus over a busy two hours was spent in cutting lean-tos and making preparations for the night and the big trip to the summit Saturday. The weather was indeed beautiful and evreything pointed to a, good night's rest away there under the clear starry sky, in the pure thin atmosphere of the eternal snows, 7,000 feet above the habitation of man—indeed the "end of a perfect day." But we had forgotten to reckon that Sir Fluvius has his home even in these fair regions, and no sooner had Dr. Her re made his last-rounds of inspection,count-ing noses and tucking us in and had wrapped himself in his blanket for the night than the snow and rain began to trickle down our warm spines. A complete report of what followed—haggard, bedraggled, spook-like figures creeping from tree to tree seeking shelter, and the spontaneous wit and humor of the latter, half of the night—would fill a volume. It was reported that even Mr. Hunt used language not to be found in the geographies when he awoke to find his feet floating in a puddle of water. But a friendly fire and a good warm breakfast soon straightened out the wrinkles and brought back the good dispositions of the crowd—even Mr. Coughlin came through it "fine and dandy." By nine o'clock Saturday morning the flapjacks were disposed of (a goodly number buried in the ashes), the camp set in order and the party lined up for a trip to the hanging meadows and a venture out on the glacier. Dr. Hei-re held the upper end of the rope and guided us safely over precipices and around crevasses until we had reached a 9,000- amiwmmmmiimmmmmimmmmmwmmmmmmiimmmmmmimimmmmimnmm'. ggiimiHiimiitiHiiiiiiitmiiiiHiiimiiiiiiiiuiim i IIIIIIIIIMUIIIIIIIIIUIIIHIIIII mm ivS II NOTICE 1! | | It has been announced that all H | | those expecting to take the state | | 11 examinations in this county, should | | | | notify the county superintendent H | | so she can make arrangements for 11 II them. II foot altitude, where the party halted on a protruding butte to breathe and dispose of the delicious lunch which the committee had slipped in each one's collecting case before starting. Unfortunately the time at our disposal and the weather conditions would permit of no further climbing, so after a short rest and a final survey of that awe-inspiring picture—sublime and grand—of a great Creator's handiwork, we reluctantly turned our faces homeward. The trip was uneventful, save for a few sunburns and a few exciting stunts by -'"some of the more daring members of the party, such as climbing perpendicular precipices and swinging out over crevasses and the like Another picture not soon to be forgotten was the campfire gathering of the the last night. After the camp had been set in order our party, together with the Hikers, who were camping near by, gathered around one large bonfire and sang, told jokes and exchanged wit until the sand man ordered us off to dreamland. Surely Jack Frost and his Pine Fairies must have ceased from their work long enough to envy us those happy hours. Sunday morning all were able to be up and after the camp routine was over several parties went out on the ice for coasting and for new ventures. By one o'clock, however, all parties were in, dinner, over, the pack horses returned and the camps cleared for our departure. As we wound our way reluctantly and slowly down toward home and the realities of life again we could not help glancing back occasionally and wondering if that grand old mountain who has stood there in that lonesome spot thru-out centuries and eons were not tipping, his snowy cap to us as a token of appreciation for our short visit. By seven o'clock we had all reached Glacier and were packed safely into the stages for our final homeward dash. This is a hasty and inadequate description of an event that will long live in the memory of all those who were fortunate enough to share in it. One party expressed it well when she said the trip was worth the entire cost of the summer session. Much of the success of the trip is due to Dr. Herre's good natured, patient, painstaking, fatherly care. He was constantly on the lookout to see that all went well—helping the weary pack-horses over the rocks—relieving some weary back of its heavy knapsack—doing his share of the routine—answering our numerous questions—cheering us on with a joke or story—tucking us safely in at night, and dozens of other little things to make for the pleasure of the trip. We all deeply regret that this is to be lis last trip with us. But such is the fate of life! We scarcely learn to know and appreciate our instructors until some other part of the world calls them from us. We wish for Dr. Herre a long-life of usefulness and pleasure and the greatest success that the other side of the world can hold in store for? him. RUTH PICKLESIMMEII. W0MENS APPAREL 0?

And when the last picture was shown and Dr. Nash's voice had trailed off into silence, the students arose and silently filed out of the assembly, in something of the same fashion Dr. Nash had said the spectators did at Ober-ammergau.

This would make it possible to increase teachers' salaries from fifty to one hundred per cent. Not all citizens favor the idea of giving up a little of their control to the government for the sake of the children. Whether or not the work of the committee before referred to results in the better administration of our schools, is a much disputed question. If teachers are to be the molders of the minds of future citizens they must throw the sunshine of the human soul, where now lie clouds and shadows of dissatisfaction. We are living in a time of unrest and dissatisfaction but only in a degree is the world different from what it has been after other wars. In a few months will come a time of gladness, prosperity and love and all will glory in the happiness of the people over whom floats the prettiest and best flag of the best government in the world. SELECTED. The soul of youth, the freedom, the unrestrained joy that the child knows, is the Paradise from which knowledge and experience have driven us. Man, in story and poem, has many times expressed this thought. The dreams and ideals of youth, the wild imaginings that we call them, are driven out by material possession and greed. So sordid a life do we lead, that we lose all sympathy even with the children of our own body. Oh, my friends, if you can but close your eyes and drift back on memory's wing to those sweet days of childhood when your whole being was in close sympathetic touch with the divine spirit. Flowers were not flowers to you then, but a fairy princess in a gorgeous dress, who danced in the wind for you alone. Rain was not rain to you then, but the tears of some captive soul that you might free. Every aspect of nature had a soul that you could read. In your dreams, there was no limit to your world. Ever changing, always radiant, ^brilli-ant with the scintillating light of hope, your future was bathed with the rose light of your dreams. A TRUTH VOICED ALDEN.

HUXLEY. Glasses? WOLL 205 West Holly CHAUTAUQUA EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK Normal students, as well as townspeople, have bene making the most of Chautauqua this week. They feel they are getting a great deal that is worth while from it. The program began on Thursday evening, July 29, with Julius . Caesar Nayphe's lecture on Palestine. A part of the entertainment was an Oriental pageant featuring customs of the land, among them a marriage celebration. Mr. Nayphe was assisted by six Bellingham girls in costume. A gorgeous array of tapestries and robes made a fit setting for the scene. On Friday came the musical numbers by the Alaska Duo, followed by a most inspiring lecture by Carlton Chamberlayne at three o'clock, and a splendid one in the evening by the Pep-tomist, Sam Grothwell. Paul Pereira and his string quintet were a pleasure on Saturday, as were the elocutionist, who read the "Music Master" and Mary Adel Hays, a delightful soprano. Sunday's program included two much appreciated concerts by The Royal Welch Lady Singers and a very good lecture, "Powder and a Match," by Judge Geo. D. Alden. The play, "Kindling," by the Maurice Brown Players, Monday's big attraction, was enthusiastically received and most deservedly so. One would have to go far to find a more charming pair than Mr. and Mrs. Parnell, whose program included readings, vocal solos and saxophone and piano accordion duets. The same day, Tuesday, Dr. G. Whitefield Ray portrayed vividly the vast possibilities of South America. In the evening Judge Fred G. Bale gave his lecture, "The Fourth Line of Defense." The Chautauqua ended Wednesday with two concerts by the Native Maori Singers, a lecture, "The Need of an Education," by Mr. McDonald, director of the Chautauqua, and at eight o'clock Miss Leila M. Blomfield's illustrated lecture, "New Zealand, the South Sea Utopia." A feautre of the afternoon was the playground demonstration by the Bellingham children. The larger children and the tiny folks each appeared in a pretty dance. The children had been spending their mornings the past week preparing for this directed by the Junior Chautauqua leader. The Chautauqua has been unusually successful this year. Next year's "Pleasure Week" is also assured, the twenty-five guarantors being very quickly secured when called for. LIBRARY REBATES . 1.

Little Boy Careless has strewn his blocks From end to end of the nursery; He has broken the lid of the gaudy box That held sliced animals, my, oh me; His wooden soldiers are seamed and scarred, From battle with him, and his jumping jack Is lodged half way from a blow too hard, Nor can all of my coaxing can get it back. Little Boy Careless has broke his drum, And bent the tube of his screeching fife; and all its martial airs are dumb; And the doll that squeaked has lost her life, From a mallet blow on her flaxen head, And none of her sister dolls knows or cares That the sawdust in her is strewn and spread From the bedroom door to the door down stairs. Little Boy Careless has gone away And Big Boy Hopeful has come to me. The toys that were scattered but yesterday Are stored up there in the nursery. The broken drum and the screeching fife, The flaxen doll in her crib alone; And Little Boy Careless will ne'er come back, To play with the toys by his years outgrown. But oh, how the heart of me aches and ! cries ' For the Little Boy Careless to come | and play, With the light of the dawn in his big I brown eyes, ! With the toys that are scattered and laid away. , The Big Boy Hopeful has come to pine For the world out there, and he longs 1 to go; But the Little Boy Careless was mine, l all mine, '' ' I And that was the reason I loved hfnr so. One of the best assemblies of the summer session was enjoyed by. the student body Monday, when Dr. Nash gave a most interesting illustrated lecture on the Passion Play.

Marly travel miles and traverse nearly impossible depths to seek adventure and pleasure. Others circle the globe to know eminent speakers and writers, and still others spend a life time in search of the rarest of possibilities. Most of these seekers do not cast their eyes backward to discover what has been given them in their own locality, perhaps many never do know and continue to look for the "Blue Bird" as a lifelong task. We, Normal students and faculty, are indeed of the fortunate. We have discovered and enjoyed the best, perhaps, of our summer school lecture course. This person, who has afforded us with so much pleasure is none other than our school president, Dr. Nash, when he rendered in such a pleasing way the " Passion Play " at Monday morning's assembly.

The surveyor uses his transit, and the carpenter his rule, but by what are our capacities measured? Our neighbors may see the extent of our qualities, but are We benefited? Yes, we are measured, but do we measure ourselves? Geometry says before things are compared there must be a unit of. measure. We search in vain for some common instrument to; determine our degree of perfection. We know a book is well written or a picture enhancing, but is it perfection* otir star? We may know, however, if we will allow the experience of others to be anything to us, that we are excelling, falling short, or merely keeping pace with our fellows.

Extremely scathing criticism has been made of Normal students because of their attitude toward people who have spoken to them. This criticism is certainly not without cause. In fact it is not too harsh to say that such criticism is just. These speakers appear before us upon invitation; they are our guests. In our own home we would be much embarrassed should a member of the family walk out of the room or converse with some one near him while a guest was talking of something in his experience. Yet when our guests are speaking to us here we subject them to the rudest of discourtesies; we talk to our neighbors, we leave the auditorium in the midst of the talk. If we are not interested in the lecture, let us remember that those around us are, and that by talking or moving about we are making it very hard for our neighbors to hear or enjoy the speaker. Perhaps we have heard the same thing before; perhaps we do not agree with his views. We are preparing to be teachers, and surely people going out to teach and be an example for little children must have developed enough self control to sit quietly and respectfully through the longest and driest lecture possible. Let us try to remember, then that these people are our guests, and we are glad to have them. Can we not show them the ordinary courtesies and considerations and remove from the minds of our visitors and guests the impression that we are extremely rude and ill-bred? THE BAY How many times we find occasion to exclaim, "Oh, look at the bay; isn't it wonderful today?" Yes, it is wonderful. When the sun shines and the sky is blue, the water is bluer than the sky. On cloudy days,~when the skies are gray, the bay must needs match the sky and put on a gray, soft, sombre hue. Even then, in its gloominess it is beautiful. And, when the sun sets in the evening; and it again reflects the indescribable colors of the sunset hi all their royal beauty, our exclamation, "Isn't the bay wonderful!" is the most enthusiastic. I.

Another week has rolled by, full of Chautauqua this time, giving us all miles of walking and many evenings of worth while enjoyment as a reward. Miss Myrtle Major was a guest at a lawn party given Saturday evening by Miss Hess, at her home here in the city. The large porch and spacious lawn were appropriately decorated with Japanese lanterns. Miss Estelle Jones breakfasted with Miss Moffatt Saturday morning, when she entertained some of the girls from Boise. Jean Ellis is growing quite attached to Lake Whatcom, judging by the number of hours spent on its waters. A launch party of about thirty on Lake Whatcom—does it sound good? Myrtle Major and Helen Edwards, and Pearl and Amanda Nessen, who were with us the first six weeks of the summer, were four of the jolly thirty. Sunset at the start—a bonfire and eats on "Idle-a-While" island—a moon path between the hills for the return—plenty of good music and plenty of good fun. Ina Taylor went Saturday to Sumas to see a friend of long standing who has been like a godmother to her since her childhood. The good news of a coming guest sent Lucile Sargeant and Ina Taylor rushing to the phone. ~~ The guest, Miss Opal Miller, of Tonasket, is expected Tuesday morning and will spend nearly a week with the girls. Lysie's giggle. Elva: "When Old Baldy Plays the Fiddle, tra la la" Found—A "Bill." Anyone losing same apply to Narcissa. Calista is expecting a visit this week from Elizabeth Slater, a former Nor-malite from Ferndale. Wednesday evening "Iona Ford" had a brilliant idea to take us all for a ride. "Baldy" furnished the music. "Ima King" sat in the front seat with the chauffeur, "Despeijate Ambrose, Ophelia Foote" "Shanks" and "Ima Simple" settled themselves in the back seat. Poor "Alkali Ike," there was no room for him. Just then "Iona Ford" thought of a scheme. She bustled into Utah Alley, grabbed up a "Sophia pillow" and put it on the running board. "Alakali Ike" established himself there and declared it was "Oh, so easy!" "Baldy," "Alakli Ike" and "Ima King" had Sunday dinner with Mr. and Mrs. "Ole Be Golly." NOTES FROM THE HOUSE OF SHANLY. An observation league has been formed to discover who . the midnight cherry "cooners" may be. Allyn Jones offers a reward for information. The members of Shanly House are all planning new fall hats, since one of their most popular members has turned milliner. AH orders for the Shanly Hat may be left with Mrs. Shanly. Mrs. Mary Anderson is back from Settle, and is once more one of our number. There is grave danger that the price of tea .will be raised in the near future, now that we have a fortune teller in our midst, who utters wonderful prophecies by gazing at the tea leaves left in the bottom of our cups. The regular meeting of the "500" club was held Friday evening. Dorothy Scheel and Blanche Cummings held high ENGER HALL. Christine Edens is a frequent and welcome visitor to Enger Hall. Anna Maddox and Rena Baker ventured forth Sunday afternoon on a shooting excursion. They were equipped with a camera. When they returned, though no bulky game was in evidence, they reported a very good catch. Found in the house book Saturday night: "E. A. B.—be back 11:55; P. D. A.—be back 11:55." Evelyn can you explain this? Helen Ellis and Rosamond Tuttle went to Vancouver Saturday and enjoyed a very pleasant trip. Ida Sundquist was officially and ceremoniously christened "Sonkist" at a very formal meeting of Enger Hall at the head of the third stairs. Murilla Burch received a large box of cherries from a friend. We all want her to thank that "friend" for us. Miss Helen Axelson visited her brother at the hospital in Seattle. Why does Paul Pinckney stand just across the street from our house on Sunday morning at such an early hour as 7:15? We are all wondering. Any information on this subject will be appreciated. CEDARS Chautauqua, picnic dinner, Chautauqua was the popular ^program last week. Saturday, Mrs. Estabrook, Beatrice Lemley, Emma Zehle, Naureen Stauffer and Ludella Eaton had a picnic dinner and enjoyed " Huck Finn " between sessions of Chautauqua. Thursday, Edna and Nellie Morris went with friends to Whatcom Creek for dinner before Chautauqua. Monday, Helen Lemley had dinner at Lake Whatcom before going to "Kindling." Mary Sawyer is planning an interesting vacation. Monday she will leave for Spokane, where she will visit before going camping at Newman Lake. Helen Lemley went to Birch Bay with a picnic party, Sunday and ate cherries and yet more cherries, and watermelon and yet more watermelon. Emma Zehle and Naureen Stauffer were entertained at dinner Sunday by Mrs. Lloyd Ralph, a former Cedarite. NICHOLS HALL. Vera Dunbar spent the week-end at her home near Mount Vernon. Friday evening Alice Sayter, Gertrude Reese, Elva Neander, Clara Sachtler, June Zeperneck, Laura Bangle and Esther Olson enjoyed a picnic dinner at Squalicum Beach; the rest of us enjoyed the evening at the Chautauqua. We're all so sorry, Baldy, over your loss, but we hope to hear your latest in Utah Alley again soon. Calista Washburn, spent the weekend at Nichols Hall, for a change. Most of we Nicholites spent our Saturday and Sunday enjoying the lectures and entertainment at the Chautauqua. Heard in Utah Alley: Washburn: "Oh, girls, I had a real adventure. I borrowed two cents from a man." ."•._'_.'•'./.'' rMaud: "Girls, don't you know it's after KoTiTs?" :.••.•;:' •••-• "• EDENS HALL NOTES The Edenites came to the end of a perfect day Thursday after Chautauqua with a watermelon feed in room 20. Who says schoolmams can't cook? You ought to taste the pies served by Mildred Nuttall and Eva Main Friday night in room 20. They surely presented some fine advertising. It's strange how ex-Edenites know the way to the hearts of their successors? Olive McLeod knows, for she sent us a very wonderful box of divinity last week. Say, Agnes, where do you spend your study hours? Eva Main spent the week end with Alice Sherwood at Langley and came back with wonderful reports of a good time. . Mrs. L. Bosshard spent Sunday at the hall with her daughter, Alice. Lillian Showalter was at Algona over Saturday and Sunday. She will teach there this year and is well pleased with the prospect. * The home folks at Fir welcomed Margaret Heimdahl for her usual week end visit. Ida Greibrok visited her sister, Mrs. Borge, at Lawrence. Thedora Arness came this week to live in the house. GEROLD HOUSE. Adah Long was a visitor of Mabel Lewis last week. Miss Lewis accompanied Miss Long to her home in Custer to spend the week-end. Myrtle, Maude and Etta are studying hard for the exams, when not otherwise occupied. BROWN'S STUDIO, Sunset Building GENERAL SCHOOL NEWS Misses Carrie and Evelyn Whittier have accepted positions to teach in the Stanwood school this year. It will be remembered that these young ladies won reputations as poets during the past year in the Normal, and that Miss Evelyn won the prize in the humorous poem contest of the Messenger. They are spending their vacation in the country, and in company with another of our Normal School poets of merit, Miss Anna Erick-son, are finding much to inspire and to enjoy. The state examinations for teachers will be held Thursday and Friday of this week from eight to four each day. All those taking the examinations must register with the county superintendent before Thursday. Nearly one hundred students are cramming their heads with facts concerning geography, grammar, arithmetic, etc., and wearing few smiles, for their thoughts are all on the state examinations. It is rumored, however, that the examinations are easy and there is nothing to fear. If everyone passes—Oh, Boy! A number of Normal students took advantage of the full moon Saturday evening and went on the moonlight excursion given by the Three M class of the M. E. Sunday school. A very enjoyable time was reported by all. The lake was extremely beautiful in the moonlight and the "eats" served at the far end of the lake were super-excellent. We hope another such excursion can be planned in the near future. It is to be noted that the Alkisiah Girls visited Loganita Lodge when at Lummi Island for their week-end. Visited, yes,: and dined—one place like home. The " L. L. L." Club held its second meeting at Squalicum Beach last Tuesday, July 27. The weather favored fine swimming, which we all enjoyed. We returned happily home after a hot camp fire supper. — AFTON WEIGHT See Us. for High Grade Candies at Popular Prices F . f WOOLWORTri CO. 5c-10-15c Store Women who Travel should have the correct writing paper wherever they, happen to be.

In the first place let me say that according to the modern idea of making the school a social center for the people of the entire community, no person in the community could be excluded from a dance or similar social function given on the school premises, as the school property is owned equally by all of the people of the district. Therefore, a school dance given for the people of the community would naturally be a public dance in every .sense of the word and cannot be an exclusive affair. William A. McKeever, the eminent writer and professor of Sociology and Philosophy of the Kansas State Agricultural College, says: "Unless the country dance can be radically reformed it must be very strongly advised against. There is something about this occasion as usually conducted which seems to invite coarse characters and disreputable conduct. The country dance has often been the scene of vice and other evils as to have received a permanent stigma of cheapness. Under present conditions the country dance cannot be managed so as to make it contribute to the social and moral uplift of country young people. If the rural leader can substitute a literary club, a better form of social intercourse or any other; gathering for the cheap dance and its resultant debauch, the effort will certainly be most commendable." As a result of his many social surveys, Dr. Warren H. Wilson, the eminent rural sociologist of Columbia University, has reached practically the same conclusion regarding the moral and social influence of the dance.. Who ever heard of a capable, conscientious teacher losing her position merely because she could not or would not dance or take part in the local dances in that community? I can name many instances where a teacher lost her position as a result of the dance. Dr. Jackson, the community worker of the United States Bureau of Education, in an address at the Normal a few months ago, stated that the main effort of every teacher or other community leader should be to promote such social and intellectual activities as will tend to unite the people of a community, and that activities about which there is a decided difference of opinion in a community should be avoided. Most communities are divided on the subject of dancing, and in the interests of harmony at least, dancing should be kept out of the public school activities, and other activities substituted. Sunday school, Christian Endeavor, literary clubs, debating societies, spelling matches, school club activities, musical entertainments, indoor athletic activities, such as basketball, volley ball, etc., form excellent opportunities for neighborhood gatherings, especially in small towns and rural communities, and will be of far more real value to the participants than dancing. Ask those connected with rescue homes or police matrons in our own or any other city, the effects of public and school dancing on the morals of a community, and they will tell you that at least half of the moral downfall of girls may be traced directly to the dance. Is an amusement that produces such results likely to promote high ideals and good citizenship in connection with our schools ? Ask the chairman of the appointment committee of our own or other Normal schools what superintendents and school boards prefer along this line when em- [ ploying teachers, and you will undoubtedly find that teachers who do not dance are, other things being equal, usually preferred. Ask the chairman of the life diploma committee, who investigates the teaching records of hundreds of our graduates every year, what superintendents, prinicpals and school boards say of the work of our graduates, and you will probably find that a remarkably large per cent of any total or partial failure of our graduates may usually be traced to taking too active a part in the dances of-the various communities. Ask the Dean of Women of our own or any other similar institution what students usually cause the greatest anxiety, those who attend dances or those who do not. Ask the Recorder to select the ten or twenty students who have made the best cholastic record in any one year, and see how many of them attend dances and how many do not. Also, have the twenty students whose scholastic record is the lowest, selected, and see how many of this group dance and how many do not. I am willing to venture that you will find that those who dance often neglect their scholastic work for the sake of the social life—at least that there is a tendency in that direction. I do not believe that dances, as they are usually conducted, even in schools, promote high ideals of morality, scholarship and good citizenship. Ask the head of our extension department whether the fact that our own Normal school does not allow dances to be given at the institution, has kept many students away from this institution. If any have ever been kept away be-because of the restriction on dancing, have they been as good a class of students as those who have chosen this Normal because of its high ideals and restrictions along the line of school dances ? WORDS OF LIFE. The Father who made us and loved us, And gave us the world to roam, Whispered soft to my soul, just departing: "Walk wisely, my child, and come home!" My eyes opened wide at the dawning, ! As the light of the earth fluttered in; My soul, close bound in a body, Strode forth, its conflict to begin. At first, very timid, I watched them, The glimmerings of earth flitting by; My life opened wide, a receptant, And received but a shadow, a sigh. I trod in the fresh glint of Nature And dreamed in the cup of her hand, Whence cometh the wealth, ease and glory, The dues from the toil of her land. As I climbed from a babe into manhood, As I toiled for the wealth and for fame, In the heat of the world's vainest glories, I sweat but for treasures and name. And I thot I had answered my mission; Unto Life and unto my God, When I threw to the poor from my carriage, : Some gold, a smile and a nod. How came it my Father forgotten? My soul had cried oft to be heard, But my foolish heart stung me for weakness, And branded it old and absurd. It had a way laid out paved in riches, It had deafened my ears to a call, It was wise, world-wise, and cunning, And I weak, so I followed; that's all. At last came the end of my journey, . I found that I trembled with fear, I groped for my earthly possessions, • I swept thro the Pale with a tear. Before me stood, great and imposing, A door that was heavy and locked; Not a sound in the darkness reached me, I was frightened and coldj so I knocked. No answer, no way from the silence; Not a single path welcomed my feet. No other soul passed on the Highway; In terror, I pounded and beat. Then a voice, O, so sweet and so kindly That I knew it the moment He spoke, Came soft thru those awful portals, And I wept when the silence was broke. "Thou art weary, my child; I would rest thee, Thy way has been long, but in vain, 'Twas the bubbles of earth thou pur-suest; Return to the earth once again. "And there, let thy Life and thy labor Be cast for the lot of mankind. Toil but for Right, not for treasure, And open the eyes of the blind." Then I walked thru the cold and the darkness, I shook, but my soul burned within; Burned from the words He had spoken, Burned for my fight to begin. For fight it is from the opening, A battle to fight to the end; But there's a glory in trying, A smile for each smile that you lend. So I slipped into life a beginning, And climbed to a man once again, But a man with such strength and such sweetness That the world never offered a bane. Would you guess that the smiling plowman At work in the sun's gleaming light, Was he who shrank from the dawning, And shivered alone in the night? Ah, yes, Life drifts like the noontide, And breathes like the leaf of a rose, And hears in the voice of the song-birds, The promise of more. Who knows? —GRACE PBTITCXERC. SEED WHIRLGIG. In the fall I like to observe the curious motions of the seeds of the various j gt;lants, as they whirl around and around on their journey to the ground. Toss a handful i-n the air and watch the performance of the miniature whirlgigs. There is more than fun in it. They show us that nature has provided a method by which the seed may float in mid-air and thus let the breeze carry them far from the parent tree. If they were to fall to the ground like shot, there would not be room enough for them to grow under the parent tree.' They must be carried afar and nature has not only made the method effective, but entertaining. We may go through the Normal college, and the University, but education is not what we go through, it is what goes through us.

Editor's Note—Pietro's misconception of the word "love" is apparent to those who are familiar with tennis. The word, as applied to that game, is commonly used in keeping score, and is equivalent to "zero," or nothing. Other day leefcle girl aska me; "Pietro, you know how play tennis?" I say no can play anyting only phoneegraph and da pinochle. Somatime try play da poker but no maka success. She say: "Well, I lika teacha you how play dat game leetle bit, huh?"

I say, my frien, da shoe make geeva new sole for dolla feefaty cents and ees stronga nough could walk to Italy and back again before ees wear out. Wot you tink? THE MODERN AUDIENCE. The play's the thing! True! But the play to be a success, depends not only on the performers on the stage, but on the people in the audience, as well. Did you ever attend a play intended to develop some problem of the day with its possible solution, and find the attitude of the hearers detracting from the forcefulness of the theme of the play? No doubt many of you have had just such an experience. What is the cause of such a condition of affairs? Is it true people are not interested in great moral questions, or is it a lack of sympathy with and understanding of certain phases of life? Possibly this restlessness and frivolous attitude is the result of over-indulgence in the cheap comedy of the movies. At the movie so little is needed in the way of close attention or consideration of those near us, that we assume a very informal manner. The habit thus formed, aftei; several years of fairly constant attendance, are too deep seated to be changed for different situations. A few days ago a play, "Kindling," was staged here by a Chautauqua cast. An immense audience gathered to witness this great and widely advertised play. It propounds a question, the solution of which has not been made, but which must be if ever the Democracy, for which we strive, is truly realized. There was, running throughout a humorous strain to balance the tragic, yet the real gist of the play was anything but comedy. Throughout the performance, even at points verging on tragedy, laughter and hand-clapping could be heard at various places. One is forced to wonder if these people considered the acting so poor that it appealed to their sense of the ridiculous. Were this the opinion isn't one supposed to have the breeding which would prevent any such demonstration? One would. scarcely expect the highest class professional on a Chautauqua circuit. We feel, however, that in the majority of cases, this was not the real reason. Some look for amusement of the lightest type in everything, and one usually sees that for which he looks. But we think one isn't necessarily a pessimist because he isn't always laughing. To have one's character fully developed there must be a sane balance of the light and seriousness. Isn't it more or less true that we probably will assume toward life the same attitude of frivolity we take when watching the portrayal of life? DOINGS IN THE SHOP. How many of you have heard of the hard labor, manual labor, going on in our shop? I am told that in the good old past students made coat hangers, match scratchers, pencil sharpeners, small boxes and various joints including dovetailing boxes. But now! In the present period of industrial unrest, what are the students doing in the shop? An easy way to solve this difficulty is to ask your popular professor's wife: "Why do you work in the shop?" You will get an answer similar to this: "Because—well, I want to make my furniture; come and see me and I will show you my buffet, china closet, pedestal, book case and desk, dining table and some other small household necessities." It would be a social upheaval of joy if more students would spend an hour or two a day in the shop to make something to please them. In the shop under the supervision of our patient instructors (Rendall and Heckman) artistic girls and energetic men are hardening their hands by planing, scraping, sanding and polishing beauty into their home in the form of davenports, tables, library and dressing, chairs, Morris, sewing and comfortable rockers. There will be much light in the homes of those students for many have made and are making lamps of all descriptions. The manual training I Class has all but turned, the shop into a toy house, for the most curious and cunning toys have been made to gladden the hearts of the coming generation. On the other hand the advanced classes have all but turned this shop into a furniture making concern. Come over and admire the things that your fellow students have been making August 18th and 19th. E. L. C. Friday the 2 o'clock gym class gave a public demonstration. Each individual of the class did himself proud and was applauded long and loudly by most of the spectators. The great crowd" was held spellbound throughout the exhibition and shouts of praise and wonder were heard when the performance narrowly escaped breaking his neck. Owing to the absence of our "Leading Man," and our "Chief Comedian," the audience was deprived of the pleasure of seeing them in action. A larger and more distinguished audience is expected to witness the next demonstration. THE BROWN MOUSE. By BLANCHE FORDE. I have noticed in several magazines and news articles, the reference to a "Brown Mouse." I had not the slightest idea what it implied. I saw it a number of times and then the notice came to me again by hearing two instructors refer to it. I secured a copy and discovered it was written by a Herbert Quick, which meant nothing in particular to me. I read it thoroughly and was really inspired and fascinated by the message it brings. It is written in simple, clear, quickly-read style, but is all divinely human in its character portrayal of the "hero" or the "Brown Mouse." The "Brown Mouse" takes a desolate district and slowly remolds it into a school for life preparation. He was country bred, self-educated, sincere and honestly endeavoring to bring to his home and community the best that could be had. He realizes his own shortcomings and works doubly hard to make his school "dream" a reality. Should anyone now refer to one as a "Brown Mouse" I should be willing to recognize him as a real teacher in a real school and doing the home, school and community a real service. We talk to God, that is prayer. God talks to us, that is inspiration. Selected—Abbott. Martin H. Barker is the youngest member of the county board of education of Snohomish county.

The magic word, "Home," seems to be ringing in the hearts of most;of us these days. Only two weeks more and most of us will be on our way to the dearest home in the world. Why is it that we are so anxious to be on lour way ?' It cannot possibly, be that we are lonesome or not enjoying ourselves here. For with so much real fun as well as profitable work, that there has been no time for loneliness. We have met so many people, formed so many real, true friendships, that we "couldn't be homesick. But for all this, we are actually counting the days till we can get home. Possibly the thought of fried chicken and hot biscuits makes the home appeal stronger, but after all it is just home — " Home,- Sweet Home." — M. T. NEWSPAPER READING During this time when so much of interest is going on, we should at least try to keep track of some of the more important national issues which are before us. Now is our opportunity to gain some first hand information of the election of our national executive officers ,and how they are elected. This knowledge gained from reading the newspapers will later be of help as well as interest in your teaching. Did you ever plant a flower garden? If so, did you give any thought- to the seed you chose? I am sure you did. When the tiny flower plants began to appear you found among them numerous other plants, which we know as weeds. The flowers you cultivated; the weed? you pulled out. Now, why not treat your English much as you do your flower garden? Why not give a little thought to the words you choose to become a part of your vocabulary? Words are the seeds for the expression of your thoughts. When you find yourself using a "catchy" expression, consider whether it should be classed with the weeds or with the flowers. It may be well to remember that just as truly as a plant out of its proper place becomes a weed, so a word used in the wrong place becomes poor English. If, after careful thought, you decide that the expression is good, keep it; if you find that it corresponds to the weeds among the flowers, pull it out! ANNA J. PETERSON.

XIX Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JULY 30, 1920 NO. 42 MR. CHARLES ALLEN SETS AN EXAMPLE WITH A GIFT OF ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS Did you know that Bellingham Normal School has a student loan fund, from which the girls and boys of the institution who are in need, freely receive loans, and by which over two hundred students have been helped this very year? Did you know that this fund was nearly exhausted? Well, it is time that everyone should begin finding out about these things. About two years ago, Mr. Charles Allan, who is in no way connected with the school but the benefactor of students all over the state through the educational institutions' loan funds, started the movement in Bellingham. By donations from the citizens and various other sources, a fund was established amounting to over five thousand dollars, to which Mr. Allan added a similar sum, making a total of some ten thousand dollars for the use of the students. This sum has been admirably dispensed with, making it possible for hundreds of people to attend school and better themselves in the world who would never have been able to do so otherwise. (Continued on page 2.) E BY STUDENTS The first number on the Chautauqua program was indeed a success, according to the many reports given by Normal students today. Last evening's number, " The Oriental Pageant," given by Julius. Caesar Nayphe and assistants, was the beginning of the seven days' pleasure.

STJNDAY Morning — Junior Chautauqua; lecture, Chautauqua Director. .Afternoon — Popular concertj Royal Welsh Lady Singers. (Continued on page 2.) MUSIC LOVERS ENJOY MADAME ZARAD Madam Francesca Zarad, soprano, delighted her audience Thursday evening with her program of beautiful songs. Her success was assured from the assembly hour when in her talk she gave a glimpse of her charming personality. She has a clear, very pleasing voice and brings her audience to feel the real beauty of each selection through her dramatic interpretation of it. The two numbers of her second group of songs, " Mi Chimono Mimi " and " II Bacio," were sung in French, as were "Mignon" and " Phillis" of the third group. She told the stories of these in English for their better appreciation by the audience. " Mi Chiamono Mimi" is the story of a poor little maker of flowers who gained a friend through the need of a match and to whom living in a tiny attic room had its happy side. " II Bacio," she asked her audience to interpret for themselves. " Mignon was a child stolen by Gypsies. Her mother died from grieving her loss and the father spent his life searching for his child. Finally when a very old man he found a girl in a forest whom he knew to be his daughter. Phillis, a gay, haughty shepherdess, gave a kiss for thirty sheep, but did not give her heart. The wooer went his way and after she would feign have had him back. But, alas, too late! He had found another maiden who gave the kiss for nothing. The singer reviewed for her hearers the story of " Carmen" from which she sang the aria " Habanera." Madam Zarad's accompanist, Mrs. Frances Tyler, should have a share in the praise. She is a real artist at the piano. Especially in. the playing of " Fairy Pipers " did she delight her audience. The program arrangement follows: (Continued on page 2.) The Friday assembly period was one of the most interesting this summer. Rev. Dr. Lees, rector of the Episcopal Church of this city for a time, gave a most enjoyable lecture on Palestine, a subject particularly interesting to students. Rev. Lees has the splendid personality and ability to seem to take us with him on his travels through Palestine. He has spent ten years in Palestine. A short sketch of some interesting facts about Palestine follows, as told by Rev. Lees. In Palestine, three Sabbaths are observed— Friday by the Jews, Saturday by the Mohammedans, and Sunday by the Christians. A person entering any city of Palestine is not questioned about his name, his title or position, as in our country, but only " What is your religion? " If anyone is so foolish as to admit that he has no religion he is put in prison for seven days. It is therefore most expedient for tourists to at least pretend to be religious. The cities of Palestine are not especially interesting. They have very narrow and very dirty streets, which are crowded most of the time with people (Continued on page 2.) DR. PAYNE CONCLUDES The last two lectures of Dr. Payne's beautiful and educational series of lectures given to the Bellingham Normal students, were heard on Wednesday morning and Thursday afternoon. • The first of these two was on the "After War Conditions," the latter, the " Romance of Science." The Wednesday lecture was illustrated with pictures taken by Dr. Payne himself, from the devastated countries. In beginning the lecture, Dr. Payne said, " I greet-you again this morning, my friends, to talk to you, not concerning the war, except as I refer back to it, but.to give you a glimpse of the after- (Continued on page 7.) CERTS AT NORMAL Sunday afternoon the Bellingham Band played on the campus from 3:00 to 5:00 o'clock to a large and appreciative audience.

Ridge at 8. o'clock Saturday morning, our party of twelve began the ascent. The first mile was very uneventful, as it led us mainly over ridges and through valleys, rock-strewn and hard to nego-~ tiate because of the great amount of loose dirt, rocks, etc. At Dr. Herre's suggestion, we took a rather roundabout course to avoid crevasses and hard climbing. The first accident occurred on the first snowfield. One of the ladies lost her hold while resting and slid down the slope, landing in a pile of rocks. Fortunately, she was not seriously hurt, but was unable to go farther. She was helped to camp by two of our number. First aid was administered by Sorensen Company. The next hour was spent climbing a long snow slope ending at the top in a ridge of solid rock. Here we found Bugge, wending his solitary way along, " just enjoying himself," he said. A little later, while trying to break the record for .rocky descents, Smith had the misfortune to injure his ankle, and returned to camp. He established a world's record, inasmuch as he descended a perpendicular wall of rock, 200 feet high in less than a minute. It was not until we reached this point that we actually decided to try for the summit. We were able to map out a route, roughly, from where we were, it being necessary only to avoid the numerous crevasses. Some of those cracks would hold several freight cars without (Continued on page 7.) FIRST OF SEASON On Wednesday evening, July 21, the students gathered for the first evening of lawn games of the season. Everyone became a part of a huge circle and Miss Long directed the games, managing admirably the large crowd. Later in the evening the crowd was divided, Mr. Carver taking charge of those wishing to play- baseball. Four teams were formed, making two games-in progress at once. During this time the large circle left was having a jolly time with singing games and gymnastic stunts. The evening was surely enjoyed, judging from the zest with which everyone entered the fun. Some appreciated the opportunity so much they stayed long after the play hour, which is from 7:3Q to 8:30.. The Wednesday evening play • hour is to be a weekly event. _ - - ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1920 July 30 - Page 2 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, JULY 30, 1920 HELP REPLENISH THE STUDENT LOAN FUND (Continued from page 1.) Though the money is but loaned and will, eventually, be returned to the fund, there has come this time in the history of the loan fund where the loans have been so large that it needs replenishing by,.those that can do so for those that can' not. Upon his request, Mr. Allan has been informed of the state of affairs and this communication was received from, him: " The school should have sufficient funds at the opening of the fall term. Not much repayment on past loans till about November. Would ask that you start a second donation drive for your student loan fund to secure two or three thousand more. That, with what I send from time to time, will make the funds sufficient, self-acting and perpetual. " The prosperity of the Normal,' the needs of the deserving students, the needs of the state for trained teachers, call for this second drive. The faculty .should participate. " I enclose check for $1,000.00 — $6,150.00 to date. More to follow." Help replenish the fund — students, faculty, citizens. The founder of the Bellingham students' loan fund is setting a good example, follow him, even if it be but the "widow's mite." It is the need of the whole United States, as well as our own state, that calls you to do so. CHAUTAUQUA ENJOYED BY STUDENTS (Continued from page 1.)

FRIDAY'S ASSEMBLY MOST INTERESTING (Continued from page 1.) of almost every nation, except that there are very few Chinese. During the Jewish Passover in Jerusalem, people speaking thirty-three different languages meet together. Jerusalem is divided into four sections, the Jewish, the Russian, the German and the Mohammedan. It is one of their laws that no one shall go into any section other than his" own. To do so, furnishes sufficient cause for murder, by no means an uncommon occurrence. The Turk is lazy and knows little except to lie and to steal. The Armenians are enterprising and thrifty and throng through Palestine taking trade away from the Turks. This makes the Turks very angry and on no provocation they are ready to kill the Armenians. The people are very ignorant, especially those who live in the small villages. In the cities, the Mohammedan i-eligion is most predominant. Time is reckoned entirely by the rising and setting of the sun. The Turks resort to all sorts of schemes to entice tourists to buy things which they have for sale. A tourist once paid five hundred dollars for a pair of sandals, said to have been worn by Abraham. As soon as he was gone, another old pair of sandals was put in place of the first pair. When a Mohammedan wishes to marry, his mother goes and finds a woman who she thinks will make him a suitable wife, and for whom she pays either in money, camels or horses. When the price has been fully paid, the bride is adorned to meet her husband. When the two meet, he lifts the heavy veil, which she wears, from her face and places it on his shoulder to show that he assumes responsibility. After the wedding and feast which follows, the bridesmaids come and stand before the couple with lighted lamps, which is an old custom handed down from Bible times as a symbol meaning, " May you have long life." The wife is the slave of her husband. So degraded is woman that a man will sometimes refuse to touch his own mother's hand for fear of desecrating his holy self.

From the time she can walk, she is taught to work and continues to do so all her life. She has no girlhood — knows nothing of play. The shepherds of Palestine furnish an interesting study and take us back to early Bible times. The shepherd is so well acquainted with his sheep that although they may be feeding with other flocks he can separate them, and they come at his call. Rev. Lees' address was followed by a few remarks by Madam Zarad and then Mrs. Florence Mann, a representative of the Seattle Times, briefly introduced the work she is doing — that of trying to interest citizens in the matter of making public what the schools are doing. This movement should ha\e our hearty support, as teachers, for in no better way can the achievements and needs of the schools be brought before the public than through newspapers. THE VALUE OF ASSEMBLY HOUR It cannot be measured! Words cannot fully tell of the value. In the years to come we shall look back to our Normal school days and think of the many days we spent there, of the many subjects we studied, of the many teachers who taught us and of the assembly hour there. ; With all the science and the method and the pedagogical truths we become somewhat confused. Are there not times when we all cry out for something — we know not what? There is the mission of assembly hour. As we mount the stairs leading to the auditorium we drop all cares and worries. . The whole atmosphere seems one to invite you to rest — yes more than rest. : It is true that in these assembly hours we are given much help along educational lines. This, however, we could receive at another time and place. I feel that at assembly1 we get something we could not get elsewhere. The inspiring lectures we are privileged to hear — Dr. Curry's for example. Can anyone after hearing his lectures remain unchanged? Don't you feel that you .can think nobler thoughts? Are not your feelings higher and purer than before? After singing, in chorus, our own school song don't you feel that we are united, all here for one great cause? And our devotional chant means not the least. Is there not something great in a thousand people, young and old, turning with one accord to one God for help and strength for one work? After this we feel strengthened, we feel inspired, we feel something words can-riot tell, and, trusting in " Our Father who art in Heaven," we go back to bur work. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1920 July 30 - Page 3 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, JULY 30, 1920 ; For those who wish a truly delightful week end, take the boat for Lummi Island. You can leave Citizens' Dock Friday or Saturday evening about 5 o'clock and come back Sunday evening about 6. There are various homes where one can spend the night, but the best plan is to carry your blankets and sleep in the open. Your education will not be complete until you have spent at least one week end at Lummi before you leave Normal. Professor Reed, principal of the Franklin High School at Seattle, visited the Bellingham Normal School last Friday. The former Franklinites got to- . gether and planned a little dinner for him and his wife, who accompanied him. Once one has known Professor Reed, he lingers in your heart as a dear friend and advisor. The assembly, Monday morning, was given to the singing of the school songs, " Tulips," " Hail, AH Hail to Dear Old Normal." and "The White and Blue," rang out lustily from the students as well as the faculty. It was a " pep" inspiring assembly. It was announced Monday that the Normal School would have the pleasure of hearing George C. Bailey, the blind musician from the University of Washington. He has been heard at Cheney Normal School, and they send word to us that his recital afforded them unusual, pleasure, really surpassing their expectations. Madam Francesco Zarad, a French singer, gave an excellent concert in the auditorium July 23. Madam Zarad's wonderful personality and sunny smile won the hearts of all. Dr. Herre's botany class spent the week end at Mt. Baker. Everyone reports having a most enjoyable time. A most interesting and instructive lecture on Palestine, by Dr. D. C. Lease was enjoyed by the student body at Friday's assembly. Mr. Hunt's geography class spent an interesting and enjoyable hour at the salmon cannery last Thursday morning. Mr. Bailey, the blind organist of the University of Washington, will give a piano recital in the auditorium, August 9th. Organizations ALKISIAH'S WEEK.END TRIP Thursday night the Alkisiahs had a! short business meeting and took in three new members, Georgia Johnson, Maude Ailey and Luverna Johnston. Plans: were made for a week end jDarty at Miss: Baker's cottage on Lummi Island. Saturday afternoon a peppy crowd of nine, with arms laden with blankets, boxes of food and personal belongings' embarked on the Carlyle II for Lummi. Those who went were Victoria Huston,: Esther Deering, Anita Rees, Dorothyj McCauley, Maude Ailey, Edna Young,' Georgia Johnson, Lulu Prather and; Luverna Johnston. It seemed that; everyone was on the verge of starvation as they all ate peanuts and cookies ravenously. Some became quite frightened when " Spike" of the Carlyle II viciously remarked it would take him two hours to clean the peanut shells from the deck, but he warmed up finally! and handed one of the girls a stool and' was very amiable after being fed cube sugar. Miss Baker met us at the pier and; took us to her lovely cottage. Prepara-j tions at once began for the evening meal.' Most everything we had to eat had a pathetic experience before being eaten.; If you want any advice on cooking potatoes just ask Arickey, she knows; and " Johnnie " has a new idea of " the care of buns." The dessers was a glad surprise. Each had a full quarter of apple pie with a large helping of the best kind of ice.cream. When dinner was over, the dishes washed, and all preparations made for the night, we sallied forth to attend the " Island Social." Everybody was in high spirits, eager for what was before us. Miss Baker knew where the hall was, so the girls in the lead followed her directions, bringing us at last to the brightly lighted and gaily decorated place of fun and frolic. , Mere words could never do justice to this evening of pleasure. Girls! we even had refreshments at the close. Miss Baker and every girl present voted it " the best lark ever."

BROWN'S STUDIO, Sunset Building Do you have headaches or a tired feeling after using your eyes? Better consult Woll, the Optometrist, about your eyes. 205 W. Holly acres or a tired feel- Did you ever stoj gt; to analyze the full significance of the word "friendship"? Should it be separately considered as a unit to be uplifted, enlarged, encouraged, psychologically studied, or accept-, ed as a gift of God, free to drift on Life's Current? We have schools of every kind, we are constantly seeking to enlighten humanity. Has anything been given or offered toward furthering friendship and its human problem? Let us look over our friends. What-do they mean to us? Have you found those bequeathed with the meaningful word, worthy of the name? It seems impossible, but true that there actually, exists persons with no friends. I mean true friends, not -the often confused word, acquaintances. Why is it? This is answered fully I believe by the oft spoken phrase, " I t is one thing to have a friend, another to be one," and " I t is harder to be a friend, than to have one." Benjamin Franklin tells us, " There js no better relation than a prudent and faithful friend." And trouble, we find, brings the prudent and faithful friend Bloedel Donovan Lumber Mills ROUGH AND DRESSED LUMBER. LATH AND SHINGLES. DOORS, WINDOWS, FRAMES. MOULDINGS AND FINISH. QUICK DELIVERY. BRING US YOUR LIST FOR ESTIMATE Retail Office, 1615 Elk Street Retail Yard, Phone 433—Sash Door Factory, Phone 1257 forward when all other friends cease, to be friends, after the crisis is passed. This is one true friendship test. If your friend reveals his humanity and his friends forsake him, it is your opportunity— stand by him. It takes some of us a long time to appreciate and separate our friends from acquaintances. A true friend is most often not readily accepted. This is probably because we forsee difficulty in choosing the true from the camouflaged one. After we consider the finding of a friend pschologically the question appears, when does a friend cease to be a friend? Personally, from experience, I feel that all true friendships, which we all find few, do; not totally cease. They may be pushed into the background by the formation of a new, but the sympathetic understanding which came with the word friend, does not appear to be rooted, for under extreme conditions of sorrow or joy, we feel the omni-pres-ence of human love. "A friend ceases to be a friend when his limitations are made known." This may be true, but doesn't it appear to you that love should call for a broadening of the limitations of a loved one? It is everyone's ideal, however, to choose uplifting friends, friends whose personalities reflect goodness, both spiritually and materially. So, in choosing our friends, let us consider the words of the wise, " Our finest flowers are often weeds transplanted." Therefore, " Be humble to your superiors, polite to your equals and noble to your inferiors." — BLANCHE FOHB CAMPING " What is so rare as a day in camp ? " Most of us could repeat the above with all due emphasis. The emphasis, however, might be from various causes and of various degrees of disgust or rapture. This is the month for outings, swimr ming, and camp life, the month of freckles, sunburn and tan, of fun, freedom and frolic. Who can say they have not experienced a thrill when pitching a tent, and constructing a substitute for an electric range. Then the practical experience you get in rustling wood and frying flapjacks with the smoke pouring into your eyes, will be of use to you later. At night you lie down on the good old earth, to perfect peace and quiet, and find that a root is in direct contact with your spinal column, or a stone is in the immediate vicinity of your right ear. You wake up in the morning stiff, but smiling, devour an alarming breakfast, and feel as fit as a fiddle. So it goes. The joys of camp life are man-fold, and you only wish you could go again. — M. E.

Bellingham V Lowest Price Coat and Suit Store DRY GOODS, WOMAN'S FURNISHINGS PICTORIAL REVIEW PATTERNS We have always felt a deep gratitude toward Mr. Charles Allen who has been so kind in remembering our student loan fund. We now have an opportunity to add to this warmth, for Mr. Allen has again bestowed upon us another of his liberal gifts. We are pleased with the construction of his communication. He first suggests that a goodly sum should be on hand to start the fall term, and further enumerates a plan for replenishing this sum by having a student loan drive. i Is that all? Indeed not! As a fitting conclusion, Mr. Allen writes: " Enclosed you will find a check for $1,000.00." Can you furnish a more fitting example of Do unto others as you would have them do, only do it first? How great is the multitude of advisors. Many are lacking in certain accomplishments but never did the Maker leave out the trait of giving advice. Yes, many are those who give advice but where does the multitude go when we ask for those that follow up the suggestion with an example? We find Mr. Allen among the smattering who remain. He has given a message, made an appeal and clinched it, as it were. CAMPUS WALKING Have you ever seen the rising cloud of dust from the approaching band of sheep or horses? Have you viewed this same plot of ground a week before as a verdant field? Can you visualize what a campus might become, as a by-path for nine hundred bipeds? FRIENDS Friends are essential factors in life. Since man is a social animal he needs friends to talk to — and to listen to. They are the solace of his pleasure hours and his consolation in the time of need. Make all the friends you can, but don't rely on them to lift you to the highest pinnacle of success, just because they should happen to like you. This kind of success is obtained through favor and holds no value for you. But rather, so live and work so that when opportunity knocks at your door, you can gladly answer her call, take what she has to offer you and fear no man. Success is yours because you earned it. ONE SWEET SONG How few of us are really acquainted with nature's song that she sings on the early summer morning? If you wish to start the day out right, try getting up about 5 or 5:30 o'clock and listen to oneVof earth's sweetest songs. This song will not die.as the day advances, but all through the busy, busy day will be with you, Mother Nature's cheerful good morning song. ROYAL ICE CREAM When you order that ice cream remember it is Royal that always gives satisfaction. The ice cream of quality for the past twenty years. THE ROYAL DAIRY PRODUCTS CO. Phone 46-48 Ohio and Ellis Streets LACK OF SELF-DISCIPLINE The path of least resistance has a strong appeal for most of us. Summer time is such a pleasant time to relax and we need the relaxation, too. However, if we are making any attempt at all at school work there has to be a little disciplining of ourselves. A clear thinking, vigorous application for a short length of time accomplishes so much more and leaves us in a readier attitude toward play than leaving the work for the dragging hours when the brain is fagged and the body, tired. But to be a grind is, to my mind, worse than not enough. application. — Z. T. PEP PRODUCER Do you lackv.pep? Get up an hour before breakfast time and play tennis. Take a brisk walk out into the country. Swing your arms and breathe in all the oxygen you can. It's free. See the beauties of nature, more wonderful then than at any other time of day. Let the purity and freshness of the morning air start the day for you. You won't need to worry about pep. It's yours for the asking. — M. T. GO TO SLEEP, PLEASE During the past year those attending Normal have, been very fortunate in hearing some of the best lectures and have had the privilege of meeting some of the United States' most prominent educators and lecturers. These lectures have been very helpful and inspirational to all who have heard them. — GLADYS PRICE RECREATION Some of us, perhaps, at the present day do not sufficiently appreciate the importance of leisure and securing opportunities for meditation. We make life too much of a rush and a bustle; even our games we turn into business. Recreation and a contented, happy disposition will help to give you health. The whole out-of-doors is charged with oxygen — it is all yours. — FRANCES KERNAN It has been our pleasure and privilege to hear many good and noted speakers this summer. We all appreciate it. Sometimes, though, the assembly room is hot and stuffy, perhaps we've grown inattentive on account of it. Then we begin to whisper. There are students all around us " straining their ears" to catch the golden words as they fall from the speaker's lips. That whispering buzz prevents them. We have not only lost the speaker's message ourselves, but we have hindered the others from getting it. When we drift back to the assembly room, and it's hot and very stuffy, let's go to sleep if the speaking is too deep for us, and not annoy everyone else by our shallow chatter. — B. C. SMILE AND YOUR SCHOOL WILL SMILE WITH YOU PICTURES Pictures of life fast in our memories, vivid flashes of the past. Like a book, opening at the beginning and printing on to the end. Smiles, tears, sacrifices, blunders, struggles, colored with friends, framed in love. Faded, perhaps as time sweeps by, some of the faces even gone. Yet not one would you tear from its place. Each picture is dear, each an expansion of our house. These, are they, the beautiful pictures of life. — G. P. If some teachers were to analyze their idea of the ideal teacher's attitude in the schoolroom, it would be something like this: " The only way to have perfect order in a schoolroom is to be as nearly like a machine as possible and require machine work from the pupils." There is no smile on the face of such a teacher. Instead there is probably a scowl which is reflected in the faces of the children. No doubt such a teacher achieves her ideal of a perfect schoolroom, but it is not a happy room. And after all, isn't making little children happy one of the worth while things of life? A child will classify a teacher as " nice " or " cranky " very much according to her ability to smile. The teacher who can see a joke in the classroom and isn't afraid to laugh, has established a feeling of sympathy and understanding with her pupils which is one of the first requirements for good work from a happy school. — M.T. A MORNING RESOLUTION BROWN'S STUDIO, Sunset Building When one wakes up in the morning it is a good idea to make the resolution: "Today I shall at least do one kind thing for someone. I shall do more', than one kind thing if I can, but it shall not be less than one."

Miss Anna Maddpx is visiting Rena Baker. Among those who enjoyed the trip to Church Mountain Saturday were Misses Maryot, Sunnell, Sundqui.st, Barret, Burch, Maddox and Baker. Mr. Paul Pinckney has special business at 626 High this week. Misses Helga Sunnell, Bertha Sunnell and Ida Sundquist motored to Ferndale Wednesday evening. Rena Baker made an intensive study of nature among the bean plants in the back yard. Room No. 3 was a sight to see, With the bed on the floor and heads at the door, And shouts of laughter down the hall. The girls had a guest and thought it best To make one bed of the two they had And sleep in peace on the floor. Mary, the guest, was asleep, at rest While Burch and Barret behaved with merit Till morning did break at the dawn. Ethel French and Mrs. Butler were members of the week end trip to Mt. Baker. In spite of sunburn, freckles, blisters, muscular rheumatism and chilblains, they report a fine trip. NICHOLS HALL Vera Dunbar and Narcissa Collins enjoyed an auto trip to Vancouver Sunday. Clara Sachtler spent the week end with friends in Ferndale. Gertrude Reese enjoyed a short visit from her mother and sister. Calista Washburn spent the week end in Sumas visiting her brother. Alice Satre and Gertrude Reese spent the week end with- friends at Nooksack. Gh-ls, can any of you prove " that a man preceded by a telegram equals a new wrist watch? " Maybe Esther can. Elnore Mead enjoyed a visit from her father this week. Attention, girls! No talking allowed before 8:45 on Sunday mornings. A number of us girls enjoyed the concert on the Normal campus Sunday afternoon. Mrs. F. L. Tucker, of Seattle, spent the week end with Elnore Mead. Word has been received from Mildred Wilcoxen, a former Nicholite. She seems to be enjoying her vacation but we're sure she wishes she were back with us here at Nichols Hall. Say, Elva, isn't it terrible to be so down trodden when you're trying to be peaceful? You were fortunate that it was a "foot" instead of a "rod." Narcissa enjoyed a short visit from her father this week. NOTES FROM THE HOUSE OF SHANLY AH the musical members of Shanly House, and some who weren't, went to hear Madame Zarad, on Friday evening. They would like to hear her sing again. The " 500" Club met on . Saturday evening, Marie Schrepel and Daisy Blue having high score. Ruth Verd, an ex-member of the house, has sent word that she is having an enjoyable time at the beach. Anyone wishing a quarantine sign made to order, and ready to tack, may have same by applying to Lois Van Houten, jcare of Shanly House. Hazel Jones arid Irene Johnson are becoming so proficient - in swimming that it is feared they may soon become mermaids. Miss Bourghette reports a thrilling time at a picnic she attended Sunday. CEDARS Some more primitive picnicking last Thursday at the beach. Naureen Stauf-fer, Amy Snyder and Ludella Eaton were the Cedarites who went along. Ludella declared most positively, "The salmon was the best! I never liked salmon before, but that was GOOD!" Adena Kallander came in from Nook-sack to see the Newquist girls Monday. Mrs. Estabrook had a perfectly wonderful time visiting over the week ead. She went to Anacortes to be with her friend, Mrs. Harry Dean. Nellie and Edna Morris had an interesting afternoon Saturday. They went with a party of friends through a salmon cannery and watched the various operations in the process. L a k e Whatcom attracted several Cedarites Sunday. Each vows she had the best time ever. Those who went were Mary Sawyer, Amy Snyder, Ludella Eaton and Beatrice and' Helen Lem-ley. 630 GARDEN Owing to a " shortage of gas " or other trouble, we had no lights on Tuesday evening, consequently no outside reading,' lesson plans or outlines could be done. We gathered in Florence Baker's room for practice in gym, to the accompaniment of a guitar. When the darkness gathered too much for that, we retired so as to be able to get up early next morning to catch up with the day's work.- The majority of us spent Wednesday evening on the campus. . Hazel and Gladys West and Frances Oltman attended the Zarad concert on Friday evening, stealing in on tiptoe out of respect for the sleeping portion of the household. Early on Saturday Frances left our happy borne for her even happier one in the country. Thursday evening we of the upper floor took ourselves and supper out on Sunset Trail. Those going were Mrs. Baker, Florence Baker, Hazel and Gladys West, Frances Oltman and Isabel Ross. At 5 o'clock on Saturday Gladys, Hazel and Isabel hied themselves to Squalicum to become a part of a beach party. After waiting for a considerable length of time a "messenger" came to inform us that the beach party had decided to take itself to the Falls instead. Part of the crowd was already at the Falls, and part at the Interurban station waiting for the beach part of the party to be brought back. About 7:30 we were re-united, hungry but enjoying ourselves immensely. At last we reached home to dream of Dr. Nash asking us to be on the lookout for insane people and of gymnasium classes marching along country roads and various other things that have no real connection with school. Mrs. Baker and Florence left us on Wednesday for their home in Hoquiam to join Esther, who left at the end of the first term. Sunday afternoon Frances and her brother came in their car and took Hazel, Gladys and Isabel for a tour of the country. We finally landed at the Oltman ranch where we visited every cherry tree and ate until we declared we couldn't eat another bite, even of cherry. Just then "supper" was called, and our See Us for High Grade Candies at Popular Prices F. f W00LW0RTH CO. 5c-10-15c Store Women who Travel should have the correct writing paper wherever they happen to be, Come here for your supply of (Brane's Cnre CORRECT WRITING PAPER] before you pack your grip. _ This elegant paper will give your hastiest notes the smart tone you wish to have reflected by everything connected with your traveling.

At last we found ambition enough to climb into the car amid samples of every vegetable on the place and arrived home ready to settle dowri for another week. FIVE-2-FIVE Mr. and Mrs. Hargitt made Wednesday evening a gala occasion, for some of us at Five-2-Five. It takes courage to give a waffle feed for ten, but Mrs. Hargitt can do it to perfection. This week Merle Annis and Geneva Prather could tell a marvelous fish story if they chose. It happened at the beach' where fish stories are supposed to- happen. We are going to send Ola Haysom home every week end, because when she came back she brought cherries and fried chicken! She incidentally rode over most of Skagit County while she was home.

Miss Major was carried off in a car but the rest had a good ramble and a watermelon feed. Miss Major claims as good a time. Not even motor cops bothered her. A certain up in the air porch has found a new use for out-of-door breakfasts. Georgina McKenzie had a grand and glorious time at the Canadian summer resort at Crescent Beach, where some of her Vancouver relatives met her. She went swimming so many times that she should by rights be a mermaid, but she always managed to be on the beach for the evening bonfires. Canada claimed another, too. Miss Jones, who went with friends in a big car to Vancouver. She says it's the ideal way to take the trip and get the most fun out of it. JENKINS HALL Talk about surprise parties! We had one last Monday evening. Mr. Jenkins called us to a special house meeting and while we were wondering what fate had in store for us he disappeared into the pantry and brought forth a large bowl of delicious cherries for us to devour. That was the house meeting, the kind we wish could be held in every house on the hill. Laura Sterling has returned to us after a week's absence caused by illness. Welcome back to nor group, Laura. Misses Helen Hansen and Frances Gallacher spent the week end at their homes. Mabel Walters had as her guest her little sister, Martha, over the week end. Mabel accompanied her home, returning Monday. Bee Bumford attended the Elks' picnic and salmon bake at Squalicum Beach. Olga Bjorklund visited her aunt of this city on Saturday afternoon. All the girls of Jenkins Hall are planning a trip to take place some time, some place, some how before the summer term closes. Some of the girls want to take barber lessons since they heard Griggsie was the school barber. They are taking observation lessons (?) now, while considering. Lost: A favorite expression, "Nay, men do store verden." Finder please return to Lillie Becken. Found: A way to prevent warts. Anyone interested inquire of Bee or Lillie. • Helen Matson spent the week end at her home in Mount Vernon. With her parents she motored to Lake Campbell, Rosario and other interesting summer places. Many of our girls come from Skagit County — explaining the fact that week ends here seem rather quiet. The ones who make the most noise go home(?). How good everything did taste, Surely nothing went to waste. The Sunnel girls were chief cooks, While President Baker gave advice and looks; Engdahl and Maryott the cakes did fry, While Barrett and Maddox their hands did j gt;ty Whenever they found any work — None their task did shirk. The Enger girls doughnuts did bring; For this Mother Enger's praises we sing. Axelson and Nichols livened each one With their chattering, wit and love of fun. Bunnan, Grasser and Harris wild berries did search, Assisted by Ellis, Tuttle, Moseley and Burch. Reluctantly we turned away To take up the duties of the day, Feeling we'd been in a place sublime, And each one had had a splendid time. — J. O. MOSELEY GEROLD HOUSE We were glad to have Grace's anut, Miss Frances McNeely, and her little sister, Blanche Hadison, both of Everett, as guests at our house last week. Sunday a small party, including Miss McNeely, Mr. Backlund, Grace Thatcher, Mr. W. L. Thatcher, Vera Rocene and Blanche Hardison, motored to Birch Bay and enjoyed an all-day picnic on the beach. Edna Dalziel was the guest of Mrs. Davis Sunday. Frankie Roe had the delightful experience of visiting a real farm at Mont-borne over the last week end, as the guest of Alma Nelson, a former Nor-malite. She tells about fried chicken, home made pies and rolls, and fish caught only a few rods away. We really would not have believed any of it if she had not proved it by bringing us some of these good things. Nell Milne, Ethel Draper and Hazel Draper were in the party that took the last Mt. Baker trip. They were well prepared in hiking suits and big sweaters. Despite stiff muscles and sunburn they say they put less in it than it was worth, for they surely had a wonderful time. We are sorry to have Ida Ahlstrand leave us for a home at Johnson's. We are also glad to welcome Mrs. Payne carrying their packs on their backs and looking very much like tramps. Sunday evening about 7:30 they were seen to return, sunburned (Oh, no!) and tired (never!) but it has been confessed they looked even more like tramps than they did the day before. Last Sunday evening Elizabeth Del-duca treated us to a real spread. We have memories of such spreads in the past and are always on hand when Elizabeth's eats. arrive. Our Frances Erickson has learned to play tennis and even rises at the early hour of 5 to show her skill. Can you beat it? and Clara Locke into our family. ENGER HALL PICNIC Monday morn when the sun's golden ray Fell in splendor o'er Bellingham Bay, The lively bunch from Enger Hall, • Nineteen chattering girls in all, Up the rugged old Sehome, Around the winding path did roam. They climbed 'till they could get no higher, Then on. Flat Rock built -a fire, And soon prepared good things to eat. Did Enger Hall girls ever see such a treat? Bacon, eggs, hot cakes, oh boy! And fresh doughnuts gave us such joy! RAGANS HALL Misses Eunice Blodgett and Jessie Smith attended the Ferndale camp meeting last week end. Six of our girls made merry at a dinner party the other evening, afterward " The Noise" signed up for the American Theater. Viola Gosch seems to like Ragans Hall. GEROLD HOUSE Miss Verla Draper, who has left for her home in Moscow, Idaho, writes that she is having a fine time. She sends her greetings to all the girls. BERNICE HALL Three noble Bernites reached the pinnacle of Mt. Baker last Saturday. They were Brown, Sorenson and Roe. Mr. Johnston also went on the trip, but due to his excess of avoirdupois he did not try to reach the top. Will those who wish to communicate with the members of Bernice Hall please sign their letters or call in person. Some one has been prowling around at night watching for us to pull our shades down. Mr. Brown now has the Turkish complexion that is requisite for the Sultan of Omarscow. The harem greeted him warmly when he returned from his trip to the dizzy heights of Mt. Baker. We wonder how well Edna likes Mr. Patey in that new haircut. We have opened up a barber shop at Bernice Hall and we turn out a victim nearly every day. Just watch for them around the campus. Mr. Anderson has just recovered from a case of blood poisoning in one of his , toes. Mrs. Anderson, our god-mother, nursed him back to health in great style. We hope that all those who went on the trip to Mt. Baker will have their proper facial expressions and complexions restored to them before long. — J. H. GRIGGS FACULTY NOTES BEVER HOUSE Glennie McBain has returned to her home at Culver, Oregon, on account of the illness of her father. During her short stay with us Glennie won a host of friends by her pleasing disposition and jolly fun. Many were the sighs of regret at her departure. Oza Myers took dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, High Street, on Friday night of last week. Victoria Huston, Dorothy McCauley, Oza Myers and Anita Reese spent the week end with the Alkisiahs on Lummi Island. They left Saturday afternoon Professor Parish has been recently investigating teaching conditions in Alaska preliminary to going to Anchorage as superintendent of schools, and finds that of the 141 teachers in service in Alaska, 28 are from the Bellingham State Normal School, while 12 are from the University of Washington, four from Cheney and four from Ellensburg. Professor Parish announces that Harold Rodolph has been elected as principal of the senior high school at Anchorage, at a salary of $225.00 per month. Mrs. Josephine Archambean Waldo '17 dropped in for a little chat with Miss Woodard recently. She spoke of her interest in the work at the University of Washington and incidentally mentioned the fact that Mrs. Esther Shepherd, alsb '17, had won a fellowship in English and that Dennis Troth, another classmate, had received the master's degree in education. Miss Druse has returned from Seattle where she has been, visiting. Dr. Herre expects to leave Bellingham next Thursday. Miss Wilson, our librarian, who is now. on her vacation, spent some time in the East, but lias . returned to Seattle on account of the intense heat in the East. Miss Clark and Miss Moffat are at present enjoying the wonderful scenery of Southeastern Alaska, and have sent back greetings to the school from Juneau.

PAYNE CONCLUDES HIS LECTURES (Continued from; page 1.) war conditions, the wide desolation, the Unrest, the bleakness of the countries that suffered so terribly in the war. The condition of the world today is as critical as during that struggle for righteousness. I shall show many heart rending things, things that will hurt you deeply, but that is the mission of these lectures — to make you. think. ' Lest we forget, lest we forget,' for Ave Americans are forgetting too fast, we are forgetting those that bled for us and those that need our help. That is neither just, nor honorable, to the men that died for America. And yet while I tell you these things, these horrible realities, there runs through it all a train of great hope,- from these people that are still suffering, from the world, as never was known in history." Then there followed the pictures of little Belgium, of Italy and of France; each in their way mutilated, homeless and starving. Nor was brave little Ser-via forgotten,- or poor Poland. They brought the tears to the eyes and sympathy to the heart for our brothers across the sea. Let us hope that this lecture will bear fruit and not result in a mere passing emotion. The lecture Thursday afternoon on the "Romance of Science," was illustrated, not. by pictures, but by the real things of nature in all of the stages of development. It was a story rather than a lecture, " N a t u r e ' s story," as Dr. Payne described it, and a very interesting one it was. " I want to turn over some of the pages of . N a t u r e and some of her mysteries," Dr. Payne said. " I am not concerned in telling you the story of the various beliefs of the beginning of the world, I am going to t r y and tell some of the fundamental truths of Nature. " Nature is one of the most changeable creatures in the universe. If she is feminine, as most people seem to think, then the women of the world have a perfect right to their changeable nature. You talk about the everlasting hills — there isn't such a thing; Nature is forever tearing down and building up, and when she rebuilds, it is always different. She is always changing to find something better, she. is never satisfied. The instruments of Nature are very powerful. Besides being unable to estimate the actual extent of this power, man is unable to properly say what it really is. There is the volcano, t h a t mighty instrument of Nature, that made the mountains. Some years ago, in the waters of Alaska, the fishermen saw a fire in the middle of the water. They thought at first that it was a ship burning at sea, so' they went out to see and give their services if possible. They found that the smoke and fire they saw was a volcano spouting in the middle of the ocean. In one night there was an island REDUCED RATE ANNOUNCEMENT I I Puget Sound Light Power H | l Company issue tickets at reduced || 11 rates to the students.

II formed from that eruption, with circumference of over three miles and so hot that for three years they could not go upon it. Even now, that island is very warm is most places. So, my friends, it is by this terrific power Nature has made our beautiful mountains. And when it was done, I suspect that she went out and looked at it all and wanted something better. Immediately she set to work, and almost as if she had taken a hammer and started to hammer, hammer, hammer, at her mountains did she she begin to destroy them. What instrument did she use The earthquake. Shaking and squeezing, the earthquake shattered the great dead, black backbone into millions and millions of pieces. And now, I can almost imagine she has found a suitable instrument to shape these pieces into patterns. She took the soft drop of water, the delicate, fluffy snow flakes, the baby's cheek, to shape the caverns, the canyons, and the wonder caves. From this shaping and scraping, comes, the fine sands that Nature flings about over the world by the winds. Still she is not satisfied, she tries again. She hunts and hunts and hunts, until at last she finds- another instrument— life. Life so strange that nobody has been able to understand it. Life so wonderful that it made everything spring up and grow. Let us say that the desert cactus was the first, and Nature was very proud of it. But finally it grew as large as she could make it, and so she tore it apart to mix it with the sand, give its life to make the soil. So each plant, as she made it, gave its life, and so it is with everything, everything with life must return to her so she can make her world. " So, my friends, we find Nature marching on to better things, greater achievement, for the purpose of making it a better living world. Things of the mountains, things of the sea, things of ice and of land, all together. What do you suppose she is going to do with her world when she gets it made? She is working out her works for the sake of humanity, a perfect humanity. The whole world, all the things of it, are on the side of making the world more human, more beautiful." Dr. Payne left Bellingham to go t o our sister institution at Ellensburg. We have enjoyed many lectures this summer, but none of them can hold that same friendly place in our hearts, it is reserved for Dr. Payne. B. S. N. S. REACH SUMMIT OF MT. BAKER (Continued from page 1.) crowding. Unfortunately, and fortunately, too, the day was not clear; the former in that it was necessary to delay often in order to pick our route, and fortunately, because Ave suffered less from sunburn than Ave Avould have other- Avise. The view from the top of the " saddle " Avas veiy impressive. Just a little slip doAvn the south side Avould have landed us in the Avrong p a r t of the county. It is remarkable how far one's A'oice will travel from here. Above us Ave could see Avhat proved to be the most difficult p a r t of the climb, a long, steep, rocky ridge of rock, and above that, frozen snow, " straight up," Roe said. He did not exaggerate very much. Anyone doubting the difficulty of that last long mile Avill please question BroAvn. " Boys, I can't go any farther," Avas heard Arery often from the middle of the line. The top of the dome Avas reached at 4:30; no much time Avas spent there, hoAvever, as the temperature Avas very near zero, and a stiff breeze added to the discomfort. Nothing Avas visible except a sea of rolling clouds on all sides beloAV us. The summit really consist* of two domes, the one on the eastern side being perhaps 50 or 60 feet higher than the other. The return trip Avas began immediately and made in j u s t tAVO hours, mostly a succession of slides. Those slides Avere educational as Avell as destructive to certain parts of clothing. Naturally, great care Avas taken not to land in an open crevasse. Those Avho Avere successful in reaching the top Avere Roe, Bugge, BroAvn, Warren, Rice and Purves. Without doubt, the most remarkable example of climbing Avas that done by Sorenson and Miss Weir. After assisting one member back to camp, and making the return trip, they missed reaching the summit only by a few rods. Sorenson Avill please report to Brown, mess sergeant, on the folloAving: " Ropes, their use and dis-use." The trip is one to be remembered as the greatest a person may take in our p a r t of the state. Sunburn and aching-bones soon pass aAvay, but the grandeur and Avonders of Mt. Baker must remain always in one's memory. — N. H.

But I, I never see it set Because I 'm Avriting " Avords and Avords " And learning IIOAV to teach So that I ne\rer have the time to look Across the bay at close of day, Because I have to hunt a corner with a book, And find the picture of a Aveed And go out into the Avoods And find that Aveed And look it up in black and Avhite And press it down and paste it in a book And Avrite and Avrite and Avrite, So then I have to read another book And give the plot and Avhere it's laid.

These are the directions that he follows: Take one large mush bowl and place firmly on the victim's head. Then cut hair until all below the bowl has disappeared. Then let the victim loose. The result is a stunning bobbed-like appearance of the patient's hair that is sure to attract the ladies' attention. We are extremely lucky to have such an expert in our midst.

It is to be noted that a visit was paid to the Normal School last week by a committee of three scientists, commissioned by the government to study the birds and plants of eastern Whatcom County and western Okanogan County.

NASH If you lose your hat you may find it on the bulletin board. Recreation is one of the most essential things in our lives. Without it people become dull and weary and they cultivate an attitude that makes themselves miserable and those around them. There is time for 'work and play. We should have set rules made so that we will not overwork nor over play. But an equal amount of each is necessary for every person's physique to maintain a natural and healthy condition. — MARY KING " When you are down in the mouth," says a proverb, " think of Jonah; he came out all right."

It would certainly make it more interesting to visitors, for on seeing a flower or tree which they especially admire they could immediately take note of its name. Dr. Nash has asked of me To write a little poetry; Telling how I walk the floor, With baby till my feet are sore. At night our baby seldom cries, To you this may be a surprise; But should he start to yell at night, We let him holler to his heart's delight. Soon his little throat gets sore, He then turns over and starts to snore; It surely is a habit bad To walk the floor — it's hard on dad. I came home late the other night, The place was dark, there was no light; Wifie and babe Avere fast asleep, As into the house I did quietly creep. The time of night I thought I'd conceal So to baby's cradle did quietly steal, And rocked it steadily to and fro, Until I heard the roosters crow. Then my wife said, "Listen, dear, Why rock that cradle all night in here ; I know when you got home, you see, Your efforts were wasted; babe's in bed with me." I'll tell you our boy is very bright; He goes to bed and sleeps all night; For this is the very best policy, I'll not walk the floor, no sir — not me. — J. ARTHUR GRIFFIN A VACATION IN THE OLYMPICS Why not spend your vacation in the Olympics this summer? Wouldn't you like to see the magnificent elk in his native haunts? Bear and deer, though much more shy than the elk are occasionally seen, also. The mountains themselves are rugged and beautiful, rising from a few thousand to seven thousand feet in height, with Mt. Olympus reaching yet another thousand feet into the heavens. Anyone may make this trip, going from Lake Crescent up to the Sol Due Hot Springs, thence into the" snowy mountains. When you have spent as much time there as you care to, just go down the Hoh River to its mouth, about forty-five miles west and finish your vacation walking down the Pacific coast, to Moclips. — LULU ANDERSON. SMILE It's the person who smiles 'mid trouble, It's the person who smiles 'mid strife, It's the person who keeps on smiling, That gains miles of smiles through . life. Smile when life looks the blackest, Smile when all things go wrong, Smile and life grows brighter, Fill your soul with smiles and song. Worry is worse than consumption, Worry is worse than the flu, Worry means disease and disaster, — Let nothing on earth worry you. If you smile the first thing in the morning. You will smile the whole day through; Dark days, you will feel the sunshine, For all life will smile on you. — J.

XIX BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1920 NO. 41 DR. PAYNE LECTURES EE EDUCATIONAL The first three lectures of a series to last until the end of this week has been given in the Normal auditorium by Dr. Payne of the Government Educational Extension Department. A fair estimate of Dr. Payne's worth as a lecturer can .be drawn from these first three lectures. The- first of the series, given on Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock was an illustrated lecture on Hawaii. There was shown the rapid development of the Hawaiians in civilization. In 1825 they were a savage people, and today they are honored, thriving and modern. Most of the natives speak English,' and their universities are attended by people from all over the world because of their excellency. There still exists in Hawaii a great class distinction. There are still the people of noble birth and the contrast in' their habitations with those of the natives is striking. In all, the Hawaiians are a friendly people and that means a great deal. The pictures shown were beautiful, and Dr. Payne had won his audience by clear, vivid explanation. The second lecture was on the Turk. " He is a good fellow," Dr. Payne said, "when he isn't killing somebody." The beautiful scenes that followed were colored by the blood of the Turkish victims. Their history is one of the sword, but the Turk, in business dealings is very trustworthy. The women of Turkey are married before they are sixteen years of age, and, from then on, they are the slaves of their husbands. There is much that is beautiful in the religion of Mohammed, but it is enforced by blood and brutality. Constantinople is the dirtiest city in the world. The Turk, himself, is clean but his streets are narrow dump alleys. Upon these dirty passages is found every nationality in the world. On Tuesday at 1 o'clock the third lecture was given. The subject was "America as a World Nation." It was not illustrated. " "We Americans," Dr. Payne said, (Continued on page 2.) dHllllllllllllUlllllllllltllllllllllllHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIItlllllllHIIItlllllllllllllllMlllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllltIt = JIIIIII|IHIIIIIIIIIHinillllllHIIIIIIIIIIIHillllllllltllllllllllllllMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllU = II SCHOOL PHYSICIAN II Office hours 9:30 to 12:00 A.

Most students like the poems by Noyes and " The Highwayman," representing Romanticism, is a favorite. The story is of a young French highwayman and a beautiful girl. Rather than have him fall into the hands of the British soldiers who have bound her and placed a musket in her hands, she sacrifices her own life. Filled with sorrow he takes his life. The' poem closes with a weird suggestion that to this day the Highwayman comes riding to meet the girl. The second reading, "John W. Jones," .Avas one of those simple but wonderful mixtures of humor and pathos that appeal so strongly to human nature, and represented Idealism. J. "W. Jones was the homeliest man in town but 'through his sincerity and many acts of kindness the people of the town forgot his homeliness and remembered only " Handsome is as handsome does." It was impossible to listen to the reader and not appreciate the Hbeauty and expression of these poems. . Mr. Parrish responded to the enthusiastic encoring of the audience with a bit of serious advice, . humorously given, to both the girls and the men. The seudents reluctantly stopped their second attempt to encore the reader, only when Dr. Nash rose to make the announcements. We hope Mr. Parish will find it convenient to read for us again T WITH PROF. PRAH . Bak^r Annual Excursion an Event in History of B.S.N.S. THE CHURCH MOUXTAIXT CLIMB Immediately upon our arrival at Glacier about eighty began the ascent of Church Mountain. The first stretch which might be likened unto Sahara desert was crossed with a great deal of vim. Just before negotiating the steeper ascent the mighty Brown struck the rock with his staff and we all quaffed freely of aqua. The climb from here to Bridal Veil Falls was quite uneventful except for the fact that Mr. Bond kept flitting from one end of the line to the other speaking words of cheer to faltering pil- (Continued on page 6.) The Wednesday's assembly was taken on a tour through Paris by Professor Pratt, who served in the sight-seeing corps of the Y. M. C. A. in that great French city before and after the armistice was sjgned. The scenes displayed were enriched by stories of personal experiences and a brief history of the buildings or places that were shown. Professor Pratt, in an introduction before showing and explaining the pictures, said: "The boys of our A. E. F. poured into Paris either for pleasure or to study the architecture. Indeed, (Continued on pagre 2.) , ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1920 July 23 - Page 2 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1920 DR. PAYNE LECTURES WERE EDUCATIONAL (Continued from page 1.) "have a superior feeling over all nations in the world. We must not forget, my friends, that many nations surpass us in many ways and we must learn to appreciate them all. Allow no person to prejudice you against any of your neighbors'. But, after looking at all of the countries of the world, I can come back and say that my greatest blessing is to be an American. The greatest job an Americans has today is to be a first class American. First of all he must be a gentleman. Then he must be intelligent, any other man can be ignorant but an American can not be. He must be filled with religion, to be an American he must be a Christian first, to think that he can get along without it is a mistake. If the greatest thing is not to be an American it is to be a teacher of Americans. My friends, I give, you my word of testimony, I am an old scholar, I have traveled over a million miles and lived with over forty different people and I would rather be an American citizen than the king of any other nation in the world. " Our land is the richest and the finest in the world, we have the most exquisite scenery in the world. Just take a journey through Yellowstone Park, through Yosemite Valley or the Grand Canyon, can they show you anything to compare with it any other place? For twenty-six million years, God Almighty has been getting this place ready for America. "America is not only a land of beauty and wonder, but of usefulness as well. We can raise more on our land than any other land in the world. Our mountains are nothing but store houses of treasures. We could supply all of Europe, as well as ourselves, with necessities and we did supply them during the World War. That is the bigness of the heart of America. God has given to you and to me one of the richest things in the world and perhaps of many other worlds, too. For thousands of years Europe has been filled with millions of wriggling, hungry humans while America was filled with all its richness. God held all this until by and by He would try the making of a new nation, a new world. " First the Spainiards came to our country for the sake of plunder and they failed. Then came the Puritans looking for a greater soul and with prayer dedicated their new found land to liberty and righteousness, and they stayed. For one hundred and fifty years they struggled with starvation, cold and death. They bled for seven for liberty from the mother country, for the liberty that you enjoy — your freedom. " That is only a little part of the making of America," Dr. Payne continued. " We do not all come from the Pilgrims, but we are, pei'haps, some of the jumble, some of the conglomeration that has gone through the melting pot. Just as the Pilgrims were made welcome, so has America continued through the years to welcome the oppressed of all the world. Some have been narrow, hating everybody, some of them a Judas among us, some come for better living, to be a man, some come for education, some for money, some for service to share in the making of better America. Like that they have come, my friends. They have put their blood, their brains, their hearts into America, making a vision that stretches around the world, making a heart, the bigness of which can not be estimated. It has made America as holy as the Holy Land ever was. Born under the leadership of a Mighty God, would you dare to be unworthy in a land like this? Would you dare to besmirge the character of America, to betray the trust for personal or political gain? Our country with its church ,its school, its sense of righteousness. That is only another way of saying that we have a universally divine genius for doing the things of life. " We have always had some American leaders with a great heart. George Washington with his love of freedom; Abraham Lincoln, if God gave Moses to Israel, He gave Abraham Lincoln to America; Theodore Roosevelt, with his calling men to the square deal. All men blunder but' these have a mighty soul. Another mighty soul, with many faults perhaps, but whose voice and vision shall ring through the ages, is our own President Wilson — God bless him. " There was never a time like this, we are living in an awful age, we need the greatness, the loyalty; let us never take second place. Oh, my friends, we are the making of the America of tomorrow. You teachers, you have a glorious thing to do. Put a mark of God on your brow, let America be God's nation! Fling out Old Glory to be the leader of humanity, the servant of all, and God bless you as you go." Dr. Payne is like a rainbow, coloring his lectures, a covenant between God and man. We could not stay away from the remainder of his lectures even if we wanted to. THROUGH PARIS WITH PROF. PRATT (Continued from page 1.) it was a study worth while. Paris is just dotted with various degrees and ages of architecture. Paris is one of the finest cities in the world; it is fascinating, soft, beautiful. There are more intelligent people gathered together at one time in Paris than any other place in the world. I want to make the purpose of these lectures a promotion of civic beauty. I use Paris as an example, where they make parks everyplace for human happiness, where they have more sculpture, more art, more beauty than any other city. The average Frenchman would rather talk art than politics, and he is mightily fond of politics." The rest was told with pictures and at the close each one felt the need of America stronger, more personally than ever. FOR THE STORY-TELLER All teachers of children's literature should examine the fine line of story books Mr. Baughman is now carrying. No teacher should leave this institution without adding to his own library some of the choice collections now on display in the book store. This is your opportunity to provide for future need and to enrich and enlarge your fund of stories. And perhaps you have not stopped to think that it is also the best opportunity you may have for a long while to make a collection of worth-while pictures for teaching literature and language to little children. Mr. Baughman will accommodate you and assist you in making your orders. Remember that the right teaching of literature is both an art and a science — you must have equipment.

There are places at the dormitory or in the school cafeteria. I have myself worked in the W. H. S. cafeteria and I liked it more than any other work I ever had. While I was in the cafeteria I received better grades in my work, because I had to do most of it at home. The gymnasium class at 2 o'clock is a circus in itself. After watching Mr. Carver gracefully perform on the trapeze with all the ease of a monkey, we manfully scramble up to the dizzy perch, then closing our eyes and taking a deep breath we launch off into space. What a sensation! Somehow we always manage to come down very quickly, and not often gently. But we have hopes, and if we can avoid getting broken necks we will be human monkeys in a few years. •— C. L. GRAHAM Miss Edith Froom, a Normal graduate who is at present connected with the Bellingham city schools, was among the excursionists that attempted Church Mountain last Saturday. Miss Stella Lowry, who graduated from B. S. NY S. in May, with her sister, hiked from Chehalis to the top of Mt. Rainier, a distance of about 250 miles. About one hundred and fifty students enjoyed the excursion to Glacier Saturday. It was an ideal day for hiking and climbing and everyone reported a lovely time. Dr. Chas. A. Payne, lecturer for the National University Extension Bureau, gave an interesting and instructive lec-lure on "The Land of the Turk" at Monday's assembly. A feature of the last half of the summer term will be weekly play evenings held at the school under the direction of Mr. Carver and Miss Long. Say! Don't you know there are three fine tennis courts out there on the training school side, or have you just forgotten it? Those courts ought to be so j gt;opular that three sets of doubles could be in " full swing" all the time, except, by the way, assembly periods. There's nothing like tennis to set the blood tingling, the muscles working, yes, and the hair flying. So, put on your tennis shoes, arm yourselves with tennis racquets and let's hie ourselves to the tennis court. My first serve! Ready!

Plass hiked Saturday to Sylvan Gove on Lake Whatcom. The Mt. Baker excursion trip was a very delightful one and every one reports having had a splendid time. We are living in hopes of another such trip. Out of a few over one hundred who started on the Church mountain trail, there were about twenty-five who reached the top. Those of us who reached the top felt well paid when we found snow for which we were looking, and do not regret taking the trip, although we felt the effects of the climbing the next day. Some of us thought ice cream never did taste so good as it did when we arrived at the train, and on our way home the whole crowd of us enjoyed ourselves very much. There was some singing and a few little games played and some of the boys helped to entertain the crowd by trying to .sell newspapers, ice cream, popcorn, candy, etc., and playing the conductor, calling off the stations and telling where to change cars. We cordially invite everyone to share the enjoyment and entertainment of the next trip. Everyone who attended assembly last Friday morning was delighted to hear Mr. Parrish's readings. Faculty Notes Miss Druse, Mrs. Johnson, Miss Beach and Miss Pickard spent the week end in Seattle. Mr. Philippi left for New York to attend a conference of Social Hygiene at the Technical College, under the auspices of the Interdepartmental Social Hygiene Board, of Washington, D. C. Miss Woodard, Dr. Miller, Mr. Bond, Miss Longley, Miss Mann, Miss McDonald, Miss Bell and Mr. Kibbe were the faculty members who ventured on the Mt. Baker trip Saturday. WHATCOxM FALLS When we read of such people as Lieutenant Waverly who deliberately murdered his young wife, or of Clarence Johnson, who slew his benefactress, we almost hesitate to think of the punishment that should be meted out to them. We wonder, too, if a suitable .punish- One evening this summer, my .room was hot, I had several hours of reading and studying to do, and I was feeling discouraged — almost wishing I hadn't come to Normal during the regular vacation time. However, as all this unpleasantness was upon me, one of the girls came in and suggested going out to Whatcom Falls to study. We went. A feeling of rest came over me as we were riding along on the Lake car; a cool breeze coming in through the open windows made me feel much better. As we entered the little park everything suggested quietness and rest. We walked clown to the water's edge where we could see the falls, and sat down on a huge boulder. The noise of the rushing water wasn't noise to us—it suggested some hidden power — it made you feel as well as see. nature, it made you know there was much good in this world, it made you wish all kinds f good things for all your friends, and it carried your thoughts to home and mother.

"When the bear got over the mountain, When the bear got over the mountain, When the bear got over the mountain, The other side was all he could see." The Normal went over the mountain, but many grand and glorious things it did see. Why do people so exert themselves? Do we strive and battle with such an undertaking for the sake of victory in rivalry? Do the people who ascend Church or Lookout Mountains have the sole purpose of reaching the top? If such were the case, I fear we would find no; well worn path up these steep inclines; nay, nor any other. By the sweat of our brow we toil to achieve a little higher pinnacle in order to have a better perspective, and each time when veiwing it we have a feeling of dissatisfaction and turn to climb to the next point. At last we reach the summit where we can see the great beyond. Our feeling of rapture is expressed by one word — " Oh! " After drinking of what is before us, we turn and reflect on what is behind. We pause a moment in the grandeur of the summit and then descend. The true cycle of life. SHOE CLEARANCE A sale of shoes of vital importance to every woman or child in Bellingham or the immediate vicinity, involving superior grades of Oxfords, Pumps and High Shoes. Radical price concessions on every pair. Failure t ovisit this department during this clearance will be overlooking the most important footwear bargain event of the season. MONTAGUE McHUGH Incorporated WHERE QUALITY MEETS' THE SECOND MILE " If a man require of thee one mile, go with him twain." Harry Emerson Fosdick gives us the most beautiful side of this thought. There is no compulsion in pleasurable service. We feel it our duty to do a thing, but. going only so far as we are obliged. We thus miss the pleasure unless we add our measure of unasked service — the second mile. If we stop at the end of the first mile then duty is pur master and not our servant. WALK AWAY THE BLUES Did you ever take a walk to drive away the blues ? Try it the next time you feel an attack coming on. Get out into the woods. Listen, observe, examine and imagine when next you think of your trouble, lo! it has dwindled to a mole hill and the blues are gone. WORK AND PLAY dents who play and have no time for work; there are other students who know the meaning of " all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," or "All play and no work gives Jane a low grade." . There must of course be a great deal of conscientious study, if students are later to teacli facts to little children and understand child nature. But a great deal more than this is expected of the teacher. First of all, she must share the children's fun. It is her business to see that the schoolroom,.is not a place where they will dread t o ' come, but rather a place where joy and sunshine go hand in hand with work. The student who finds time for much real pleasure along with her work, will find time as a teacher for pleasure with the children. of the darkness which has preceded it. In the night we sleep but with the first ray of dawn life begins its real activity. Heed not commands from out of the darkness; wait until the light shows the speaker's face. THAT DAY WHEN "Eat, drink and be merry." Excellent advice. Have as good a time as the law allows. Play hard and be happy, but remember, the day of reckoning is hovering in the distance. Some day as we frolic along our rollicking way, we'll overtake it. And then we'll pay! Pay! Pay! Oh, well, who cares? It's in the distance. We're too near-sighted from gazing at the pleasures about us to see the grim distance. We'll continue to play till that day when — And then we'll pay! • — B. C.

Whether that darkness be atmospherical or mental, it is the same today, tomorrow arid forever. Light shines on, leaving never a trace MOUNTAIN CLIMBING Did yon ever start out.in the morning to climb Mt.' Baker with a feeling of conquering the world? The sun was just beginning to tinge the east with color, and it seemed there was enough freshness and coolness in the world to last a thousand years. You tied on your pack and fairly ran up the first little hill, so eager were you to be the first to the top. But soon you began to puff and pant like a Ford with no gas, and to wish that some of the coolness at the bottom of the mountain would please rise. Next thing you know there is a sore spot on your heel, or your whole foot and then some. But you keep on and finally get there to gaze around at the world below: Is it worth while ? Well I guess, for truly " Beyond the Alps lies Italy." • ~ BE CONTENTED The great secret of contentment is to get out of each moment all that satisfaction it holds. It is a great mistake for one to waste time in restlessly looking for what the next moment may bring. I have seen people traveling or walking who never enjoyed or hardly saw the things they had come to see, besause they were always planning what they were to do next. This is the same thing that occurs in our clas srooms, waiting until the bell rings, planning what tc do next and not noticing what tilings they are to accomplish. There are people whose minds are occupied all winter with the summer's plans and all summer with the winter's, plans. They never really live at all. Mothers and teachers should teach the children not only to be quiet and contented, but to seem so. They should be taught to give their whole attention to what they are doing, even if it were talking with a friend. — M. X. TENNIS In two weeks we are going to stage the tennis tournament for school championship honors. Is everybody ready? If you don't know how to play just join one of the tennis classes and in a couple weeks' time you may develop into an expert and win a letter. If you do know how to play, maybe you'd better get out and practice up a little. There will be contests in men's singles and doubles, ladies' singles and doubles and mixed doubles. Select your partners now and let's all sign up when the tournament call is sounded. You never can tell who'll win — so let's all try. — BABE •:• BROWN'S STUDIO, Sunset Building Gladys and Nina Roach paid Mrs. Bever a prolonged visit at the hospital Saturday.

Fried bacon, potatoes, pickles, mince pie four inches thick and some of that coffee that is known only to the boys and their friends, made up the bill of fare. Pruner visited the Great Northern station again Sunday afternoon. We understand that Wiseman, our ball player, was in Sedro-Woolley over the week end, again. Some day we will find out why and let you know. Since Bartruff left our castle " Mac " has been a very good boy. As far as we know he hasn't gone to bed later than 1:30 A. M. for over a week. Keep it up, "Mac." Owing to a misunderstanding we forgot to mention our party that was held nearly two weeks ago. As this was such a " success" in every way fe feel it our duty to do so now. Friday, July 9th, we entertained a group of our friends. The evening was pleasantly spent in playing games and everyone left at an " early" hour, hoping we would entertain again soon. We wish to thank our housemother, Mrs. Lynch, for her help in turning failure into success. There may be better hostesses than she, but we are " from Missouri." GEROLD HOUSE Etta Valentine and Myrtle and Maude Sexton spent Sunday in Vancouver, B. C. Mable Lewis spent the week end at Custer, Washington, and Lois Pickard in Seattle. Sunday afternoon several of the girls went to Dr. Payne's lecture at Elizabeth Park, after which we enjoyed a walk through the park taking " snap shots." —VERA ROCENE HARRISON HOUSE Welcome! Miss Morgan, to our fam- Miss Steward, of Mount Vernon, spent the week end with Beryl White and Romayn Gilbert. Eunice Stevens' folks ^ visited her. Come again, Mr. Stevens., and bring some more eats. Jeanette Gilniore, of Ten Mile, spent the week end at home. Elizabeth and Ellen Wesen spent the week with Anna Taube. They also took part in climbing Mt. Baker. We all think that those who climbed Mt. Church should get one credit in Physical Ed. The three piker's of our house who could not go on the Glacier trip were Mrs. Crane, Miss Morgan and Beryl White. NICHOLS HALL Alice Satre, Gertrude Reese and Anna Keating enjoyed a picnic dinner at Fern-dale Sunday. Elva Neander spent the week end at her home in Seattle. Esther Gunderson and Myrtle Loe were, dinner guests of Alice Sater and Gertrude Reese, Wednesday evening. Laura Bangle and Esther Olson spent the week end at the former's home in Nooksack. Anna Keating and Gertrude Reese returned home Saturday evening after a most delightful trip to Glacier, tired but rhappy and full of interesting tales of "jtheir climb up Church Mountain. Vera Dunbar and Narcissa Collins spent the week end at Vera's home at Mount Vernon. Calista Washburn enjoyed a visit from her mother, Mrs. Washburn, and her aunt, Mrs. Lewis, this week end. Clara Sachtler spent the. week end with friends at Ferndale. Amy Jones left this week for her home in Cashmere, after spending some time with her sister, Ada. Elenore Mead was a member of a jolly party who enjoyed a trip to Friday Harbor, Sunday. What shall the password for Utah Alley be, girl, " honorificabilitudihity," " anthropomorphological" or " antidises-tablishmentarianism "? JENKINS HALL Tuesday, July 13th, Paulist Choir at the American. All " 13' of us went and decorated part of the front row of the gallery. No. " 13" is lucky so far as rushing " Peanut Gallery " is concerned. Mrs. Miller, of the Y. W. C. A., conducted the Bible Study out on the lawn this Wednesday. Saturday morning there were eight ambitious, active, happy girls arose bright and early and started on the Glacier trip. We all climbed Church Mountain with the exception of Bee Bumford and Lillie Becken. Poor girls! They got lost on the lonely mountain side and could not find the rest of the hikers. The best part of it was — they had most of the lunch. Saturday night about 9:00 o'clock there were eight tired, sunburned and dusty girls climbed the stairs and decided to retire early. We all voted that it was the best time ever, though. Laura Sterling, who went to her home in Seattle last Friday, is reported to be very ill. We hope to see her among us soon. Helen Matson is a full-fledged " Rural Lifer" now. She was initiated last Thursday night. Frances Gallacher, her roommate, did all she. could to initiate her properly. Helen Matson's parents motored to Bellingham Sunday, taking Helen home with them. She came back Monday A. M. and told us all about the "ham and eggs" she had for breakfast. Wasn't she cruel? Myrtle, Olga and Frances were at Whatcom Falls Sunday P. M. Lillie Becken was a guest at a chicken dinner at the home of friends in Bellingham on Sunday. Some of our girls who are going to take teacher's examinations have organized a review class which meets every evening. The girls gain lots of help in this way. Clara Jenson and Clara Willard were visitors at Jenkins Hall on Sunday evening. Helen was real happy last night. She received two letters yesterday morning so they probably could explain if they could talk. . FIVE-2-FIVE Life has been worth living here for the past week. Birthdays and boxes helped out. Edna Leatherwood passed another milestone last Wednesday and her sister, Amanda, came to help her celebrate, bringing a grip of good eats with her. Edna and Amanda with Ola Haysom, Mertle Major and Helen Edwards to help them went to the beach to test Amanda's cookery, and oh, how good it. was after a dip in the bay. The food was worth the justice rendered it. The following day, Audrey Mackey received a box containing wonders. Still another box came for Mertle Major Monday and proved that another sister can cook. We were glad these girls were so generous with their cakes. The week end was filled with welcome events. Merle Annis and Geneva Pra-ther had an auto ride to Sultan, their home. Gertrude Jackson visited friends and also visited Birch Bay for entertainment. Ola Haysom was carried off to Ever-son one evening. Georgia McKenzie visited one of her host of friends this time near Marietta. Eugenia Ellis had a friend, Bertha Sundeen, with her, who came up for the Baker trip. Bertha went with her sister to Nooksack Falls and keenly enjoyed her day. The Baker trip entirely overshadowed other things for two members of our house. Helen Edwards and Mertle Major with Frances Wingfield and another friend, landed at Glacier with a train full of other Normalites. They chose Baker. Trail as most promising, having scaled Church in past summers. If anyone wants a trip that has beauty and cool comfort every step of the way, take the Baker Trail through a western forest of moss-hung trees. Take it not too fast to enjoy it, but follow a stream if you wish, as they did. The trail leads on to the mountain peak itself, but this group called a halt at a beautiful falls and after a feast of berries hurried back down grade to a scrumptious picnic dinner waiting at Glacier. This Baker trip is our last item, but Avas not least in real experience. Ask Mertle or Helen. EDENS HALL Have you heard -of. the "Pancake Club"? They're good — those cakes•— and we had a very happy Sunday with such a satisfying starter. The finish was mighty good, too — birthday cake at Squalicum. Ruth Ogren was kind enough to furnish the birthday. Min Bergstrom and Margaret Lewis surprised the crowd by presenting the cake decorated with streamers to which gifts for each one were attached. Ruth McLeod enjoyed the week end at her home in Langley. Hazel Berger was a guest at the wedding of Miss Maude Elliott in Seattle on Friday evening. She returned Monday morning. Anna Myer and Bertha Haines entertained a few of the girls at Sunday evening supper. An impromptu " orchestra " delighted the group with several numbers. Miss Woodard, Ethel Claypoole, Willie Wood, Margaret Heimdahl, Ellen Ab-rams and Vyra Ullfers survived, we are happy to state, the Mt. Baker trip. NOTES FROM THE HOUSE OF SHANLY The Glacier trip has come and gone but according to Lois Van Houton and Irene Johnson, the effects of it are with us yet. Thunder and lightning! Sunday evening Irene Johnson was forced to wait patiently on the wrong side of Lake Whatcom for the storm to pass away, Daisy Blue and Dorothy Scheel spent Sunday afternoon with Mrs. Charles Yule, of Bellingham. Cherries, big and black and luscious! Girls can too climb trees. Who says they can't? CEDARS For sale or exchange — One heel adorned with a healthy, flourishing blister about one inch long and half as wide. One pair of knees which creak badly if moved suddenly. One elbow which was used as a skee in the descent of Church Mountain and became slightly damaged therefrom. One well-done (sunburned) neck, fat, to trade for a thin one. Maybe a thin one wouldn't be so hard to keep in the shade! These are a few of the adjustments which we would like made since our trip to Glacier and points adjacent, last Saturday. v But sore heads ? No, not one! Is everybody happy? Of course. Was it worth while? A hundred times YES. And, please note, a Cedarite was the very first girl to the top of Church. So that our athletic development may not be limited to hiking, Emma is taking up tennis and swimming. One of her feature stunts is to stand with her back to the water and deliberately fall in. This is very hard on the other poor fishes who happen to be near, but it's great sport for Emma. Miss Effie Garritson, Edna and Nellie Morris' aunt from Kokomo, Indiana, has been visiting relatives out here. Saturday she enjoyed the hike with us. Dora Andrus, from Seattle, spent a few days with Bertha Gould. — HELEST LEMXEY BERNICE HALL There are two new fellows at Bernice Hall now, "Bill" Horst and "Hank" Patey. We were all sorry to see Mr. Gil-breath leave. The Waffle Club is progressing nicely. We have one or two initiation nights each week. The other evening Mr. Roe was in swimming down at the beach. It started to rain, so Roe, afraid of getting his bathing' suit wet, ran for the nearest shelter. Have you heard about the cave man adventures of Mr. Brown on Church Mountain? It's more exciting than the episode entitled, " Sultan Happy Brown, of Omarscow." We notice that Mr. Bowsher is now taking a course in campustry. Why is it that we so seldom see him alone now? Dan Johnston has been showing us some tricks that he learned from some " educators down in a pool hall." Thank you for your attention. That's all. —J. H. GRIGGS BEVER HOUSE Frances Erickson spent the week end at her home in Everett, returning to our humble roof Sunday evening. She says it was hard to break away, but Normal ties are strong, you know. Victoria has posed as a martyr to a splendid cause since Saturday night. Her blisters and stiff limbs testify to the fact that she reached the very top of Church Mountain. Elizabeth Delduca also made the top and without any serious injuries. Oza and Anita have not decided as yet who climbed the furtherest but each did her share not missing any of the wonderful scenery which one revels in while climbing Church Mountain. Jessie and Dorothy kept the home fires burning while we " younger " members of the happy family climbed and sweat and climbed some more with the school " excursioners." Glennie McBain visited over the week end with Erma Keeney at the home of the latter's grandmother in Ferndale. We have heard most thrilling reports of good eats, splendid fun, etc. Oza Myers, not being completely overcome by the activities of Saturday, visited at Birch Bay Sunday with Mabel Calhoun. Elizabeth Delduca visited Sunday at the home of Mrs. Genevieve Smith, of this city. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1920 July 23 - Page 6 ---------- 6 ! THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1920 MT. BAKER ANNUAL EXCURSION AN EVENT IN HISTORY O FB. S. N. (Continued from page i.) grims. The one thing that the writer marvels at is that human beings can consume so much water. On our arrival at the Falls some partook of sumptious repasts which adequately satisfied ravenous appetites. The odor of boiling coffee and roasting weinies is one not soon to be forgotten. Many, however did not lunch until after having reached the top. The view from the meadows was one which inspired awe and Avonder. Still more wonderful was the scenery from the topmost pinnacle of Church Mountain with Mt. Baker on one side, range upon range of mountains on the other, and snow underneath. The weary pilgrims who had toiled'so faithfully over the last grinding mile certainly felt that the reward was ample. Each climber was loathe to turn back as he cast one longing look over the vast expanse of God's handiwork. And so with a little song of peace in our hearts we plunged from the Meadows in the sweet scented evergreens to emerge, only too soon, into the sunlight of every day affairs again. LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN TBIP The 1920 Glacier excursion is now a thing of the1 past, but there are many pleasant memories for those of the group who went to Lookout Mountain. We had intended going to Roosevelt Glacier but when the trail divided every one took the wrong one. We had scarcely started when the party began to separate and those used to mountain hiking forged on ahead. When we reached the top everyone felt repaid for the three hour climb, for the view of Mt. Baker was magnificent. After a' short rest we went down .the hill to a small snow field. The whole party indulged in a snow battle to the accompaniment of clicking cameras. Mr. Kibbe has an excellent picture of the equator at close range. On the west slope of the mountain there was a small snow field and everybody indulged in a slide. Mr. Bancroft made a quick descent and collided with a log. At 2:45 we began the reutrn ti'ip, but before we had gone far Miss Onstine appropriated a pair of shoes belonging to Mr. Kibbe and they were a perfect fit. Those who made the trip were Misses Onstine, Gerber, Comer, Her re, Fitzgerald, Mr. Kibbe, Mr. Van Horn, Mr. Burley, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Anderson, Mr. Bancroft and Mr. Burklund. On the whole, as Mr. Kibbe termed it, " We just had a ' kid' of a time." Organizations Y. W. C. A. A large number of girls were present at the Y. W. C. A. last Thursday to hear a delightful and inspiring message given by Mr. Thompson, a representative of the Inland Missionary Association. In his message he told us of the many hundreds of Chinese and Africans who have been converted and yet there were millions who were not yet converted. He also told what it means to be a missionary in a foreign field and what wonderful work and experience it is. His message was closed by urging the girls to enter this field if they felt the call, and we are certain that some did feel the call to this field after listening to such a wonderful lecture. Beach, we organized a club called the " LLL" or Loyal Lads and Lassies. Our officers are as follows: Margaret Penny cook, president; Frank Sather, vice-president, and Dorothy Snider, secretary and treasurer. The club plans to have picnics as long as the weather is good, and also to hold helpful meetings at each others homes every other Tuesday. Margaret Penny-cook will entertain the club at her home, 319 Magnolia Street, July 27th from 2 to 4 P. M. — DOROTHY SNIDER, Secretary-Treasurer. NORMAL GRADUATE WEDS The announcement of the wedding of Miss Annie Luella Airth and Mr. John H. Bren has come to the office of the president. Miss Airth is a graduate from the Normal in 1915. The wedding occurred July 16 at the Methodist church on Calle Avellaneda, Crnnaguey, Cuba. MISS MAUDE ELLIOTT WEDS PHILOMATHEANS The Philomathean Literary Society will enjoy a week end party August 6th, 7th and 8th at the.home of Mr. Kolstad on Lake Whatcom. RURAL LIFE Thursday evening at 7:30 o'clock, the Rural Lifers held a business and social meeting in room 130. The business meeting was short and the social meeting long. The entertainment included a reading by Grace Petitclerc, a mock trial, in which no thinking was allowed and a reading by Mrs. Anderson. From there the scene was removed to the small gymnasium where the new members were made to " ride the goat." Every device from drowning to electrocuting was employed. If the victims lived through :'t, they emerged full-fledged Rural Lifers. Thirteen went in and thirteen came out, withstanding the persecution royally. To be a Rural Lifer is to be a live wire .alright. CLUB ORGANIZED on our 6A Class picnic On Friday evening, July 16, at 7:45 o'clock, Miss Maude Elliott and Mr. Ralph Kugelman were married in Seattle at the home of Mrs. Oliver. The bride is one of the 1920 June graduates from Bellingham Normal, and was of the Edens Hall group while here. Mr. and Mrs. Kugelman have gone to their summer home on Lake Washington. Later they will be at home in Aberdeen. BELLINGHAM AN IDEAL SPOT Have you ever stopped to think what a wonderful place Bellingham is. With such scenery as this place offers, is it any wonder that this ideal spot was chosen for our school? What could give you more of an inspiration to study than beautiful surroundings? Then, again, where could you find more pleasure to indulge in than swimming, rowing, camping, tennis and many other sports that are ours to indulge in? Bellingham is a place that we would all be proud to call our home, and as long as we are here it is our home. Therefore, we must all help to keep it beautiful. — MARGUERITE FOYE While last | Thursday, July 15th, 1920, at Chuckanut BROAVN'S STUDIO, Sunset Building A FINE LINE OF LADIES' WRIST WATCHES THAT WILL APEAL TO NORMAL SCHOOL GIRLS Muller Asplund Jewelers Next to First National Bank Gage- Dodson Co.

Mr. Philippi, our lecture course chairman, received the following communication from Dean C. R. Maxwell, of the University of Wyoming: "Madame Barad scored great success last night She is a wonderful artist. Expectations more than realized." A student who has heard. Madame Zarad accounts: " Of all the real good things. I heard while attending Marquette Normal College two years ago, nothing impressed me like Madame Zarad's rich, high soprano and her charming personality. YE FATE OF YE SCHOOL MA'AM It was on an evening lonely, When a school ma'am, sad and lonely Dropped her school books with a yearning sigh; Was there not within the jungles, Some quiet spot within the-jungles Where Nepenthe, that arch-wooer, might reside? Straightway hastened toward the sunset, Toward the crimson purpling sunset, Through the narrow, dark'ning fringe of forest pine. There awaited her Nepenthe, All forgotten, save Nepenthe, Trouble, sorrow and all else beside. Now she wanders through the pine trees, Singing soft, beneath the pine trees Dreaming, happy, thinking not of books and cares. While the people, sad and sorry, Say in whispers, shocked and sorry, She is foolish, poor dear creature, And beyond our worldly prayers. — MARY AGATHA NIGHT By CARRIE WHITTIER Softly the darkness falls on land and sea, The sun is slowly sinking out of sight, Clothing the world in darkness — and the lea — Is all bathed in marvelous light. Just now the bay was robed in beauty bright Reflecting myriad hues, But fast the golden rays have sunk from sight — Changed all to blues. The night comes swiftly now on purply wings, The soft blue hues so quiet change to black, Night gently reigns — and in a low voice sings Her lullaby — no sweet thing doth earth lack. THE CHARGE OF THE NATURE STUDENTS Half a day, half a day, half a day outward, Cross the school campus, strode the brave hundred, Armed with a rake and hoe, Grasping a pail or two. Into the glare of day, into the heat of noon Strode the brave hundred. Theirs not to make reply, Theirs but to plant or die, E'en though the whole class knew they would be roasted. But when the fall class arrives, And beans and corn are ripe, The fall class shall reap the work Of the brave hundred. And when in years to come The robins and wrens come home Back to our campus, There they shall find a house Paid for through sweat brows Of these great farmers, Brave, honored students. — MARY AGATIIA OUR MOTHER Is there anyone else in the world so dear As Mother? Can anyone comfort and cheer Like Mother? When the sky is dark and the world goes wrong- She brightens us up with a smile and song — Our Mother. Is there anyone so good to you, Patient, loving, thoughtful and true As Mother? She makes home cheerful, bright and gay, She smiles, helps and sings all through the day — Our Mother. O, how she helps and guides us through life, Shielding us from cares and strife — Our Mother. Where e'er we go to the very end We'll always find her a faithful friend — Our Mother. So let us give praises to our Father above For the tender care and infinite love Of Mother. I wonder if we really appreciate our mothers and their efforts to help us as much as we should. Are we not likely to become careless in our attentions to our mothers; and spend our time and money on those, who do not care for us as our mothers do? How much mothers enjoy letters and remembrances from children away from home. Even though you are no longer a child — you may be twenty, yes, even thirty or more'— mother still thinks of you as her girl or her boy. Your ambitions, success, achievements are all of vital interest to her, though perhaps you do not realize it. • How often we hear the expression, " I have been so busy I didn't write home this week." Did you stop to think how disappointed mother would be when the postman came day after day with no news from her absent boy or girl? Mothers appreciate other attentions as well as letters. We spend so much money on luxuries for ourselves and friends, yet we seem to forget mother likes candy and flowers, etc., as well as we do. I think it would be a splendid thing if we would deny ourselves some luxury, candy or shows for example, and send mother some little remembrance as well as a letter each week. We shall always find young friends but we will not always have our mothers with us and I'm sure we can never find another friend like "Mother." — JESSIE O.

I sometimes plant a flower bed, and as soon as I'm away Those cunning hens march in to spend the day. Around our place is little seen, except holes and dirt, They eat the grass before it's green, and all my flowers hurt. My neighbor has a garden too; he keeps it looking fine, For he has trained his pirate crew to march over and eat mine. HIGHLAND CREAMERY CONFECTIONERY, ETC. H. A.

Harold Marshall (sitting in front row): " Oh, no they don't; look at me." IT DIDN'T WORK An Irishman was sitting in a station smoking when a woman came in and sitting down beside him remarked: " Sir, if you were a gentleman you would not smoke, here." " Mum," he said, " if you wuz a lady you'd sit farther away." Pretty soon the woman burst out again, " If you were my husband, I'd give you poison." " Well, mum," returned the Irishman as he puffed away at his pipe, "If you wuz me wife, I'd gladly take it." " Why did you take Elnora away from school, Aunt Mandy? " a lady asked her cook one day. Aunt Mandy sniffed scornfully. " Caus' de teacher ain't satisfact'ry to me. What do yu reckon she tell dat chile yestiddy? She low that IV spell four, when even an idjut 'ud know it spell ivy." Why does a duck go into the water? To liquidate her bill. Why does she come out? To make a run on the bank. Who was the straightest man in Bible days? David was, because the Pharaoh made a ruler out of him. When was the first tennis game played? When David served in Pharaoh's court. The library is to be closed during the warm weather, as the librarian is afraid the magazines will blow up. Mr. Kolstad: " Who was that who laughed out loud? " Junior: "I did, but I didn't mean it." • - Mr. Kolstad: "You didn't mean i t ?" Junior: "Yes, sir; I laughed up my sleeve, and I didn't know there was a hole at my elbow." LANGUAGE DEVICE "What is a synonym?" asked a teacher. " Please, ma'am," . said a lad, " it's a word you can use in place of another if you don't know how to spell it." Farmer: "I'll give you five dollars a day to help me dig potatoes. You can start now." Dusty Rhodes: "Guess you'd better do it alone, mister. You planted 'em, so you know where they are." Pinckney: "The dentist told me I had a large cavity that needed filling." Primer: "Certainly, and did he recommend a special course of study? " Brown: "I understand that Senator Green wanted you to act as his private secretary." Simmons: " He did, but I wouldn't accept the position because I should have to sign everything, ' Green, per Simmons.' " Perhaps the man who celebrated his 131st birthday recently in Louisville, Kentucky, can remember the time when the. butchers gave away liver. Mrs. O'Rourke (to charitable old Mr. O'Neil, who is giving away poultry to the needy): "Long life to yer honor; sure I'll never see a goose agin but I'll think of yez." A novel reason for discipline was that vouchsafed by a child whose school record was a grief to his parents. " Tommy," said his teacher, one day in despair, " why do you think I scold you so much ? " " 'Cause you get sort of fretful keeping school," was the evidently honest and quite unexpected reply. The stingiest man was scoring the hired man for his extravagance in wanting to carry a lantern in going to see his girl. " The idea ! " he scoffed, " When I was courtin' I never carried no lantern; I went in the dark." The hired man proceeded to fill the lantern. " Yes," he said sadly, " and look what you got." HYGIENIC POVERTY A young lady in this state went to the bank to get her monthly check cashed. The paying teller, as he counted the cash out deftly, said: " I'm sorry not to be able to give you clean new bills, miss. I hope you're not afraid of microbes." "Oh, no, I'm not afraid of them," said the young lady cheerfully. " No microbes could live on my salary." L. E.: "Give me a penny's worth of mixed candies." Clerk: " Here are two, you can mix them yourself." A Senior to a Junior: " I don't care if you step on my feet, but please don't linger on them." Jack: "Say," boy, you're dog bit me on the ankle." Tom: " Well, that is as high as he can reach. You wouldn't expect a little pup like him to bite you on the neck, would you ? " THE WHOLE SECRET Benny (having great difficulty in teaching his little sister to whistle): "Aw, jest make a hole in your face and push;" EMBARRASSING MOMENTS • One day, hearing a rap at the door and thinking it Avas my husband playing a joke on me, I said, " Come in." Another rap and I thought I'll see :if he can fool me, I'll just scare you a little. So, gently I tiptoed to the door, thrust out my head and cried, " Boo, you little imp. I know who you are." Picture my embarrassment on seeing the new pastor instead of my husband. President (at meeting): " Now I want you boys to be so quiet that you could hear a pin drop." . Small voice (at rear of room when everything was quiet) : "Let 'er 'drop ! " A girl who lived in Bellingham Had a pa who was crabbed and stern. He'd startle young, men By appearing at ten And saying, " I move we adjourn." Teacher: "Let us air try to keep together in singing." Bright pupil: "I am together." We believe Mr. Kibbe is trying to imitate Sir Walter Raleigh. Instead of laying his coat down for a young lady to step on to cross a mud hole he loaned her one of his shoes. We expect Clyde Bancroft to take two shirts on the next trip to the mountain, and we think it advisable, too, for him to take a sled as it will be much easier on shirts..

XIX Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1920 NOJ^ WILL LEAVE SOON FOR PHILIPPINE ISLANDS TO TAKE UP GOVERNMENT WORK Dr. Herre gave a " straight from the shoulder" talk on hygiene to the pupils and faculty of Bellingham Normal Friday morning. He mentioned the necessity of keeping physically fit. All men and women, according to Dr. Herre, ought to be able to touch the floor with the hands without bending the knees until they are sixty or sixty-five years old, and then some. He further stated that we do not use the word immorality in its broad sense. If one drinks coffee when one knows it will harm one, one is immoral, even though that coffee were drunk at a church supper. Aside from his talk on hygiene, he urged upon the pupils the need for school songs. To show that his words were from his heart as well as lips, he himself had composed a song for the occasion. Dr. Herre leaves soon for the Philippine Islands, where he has accepted a position with the government as chief of the division of fisheries in the Philippine Bureau of Science. He will make -his headquarters at Manila. His work is to look after the marine resources in the islands. This includes a territory fourteen hundred miles long and seven hundred miles wide. The resources include fish, oysters, clams, crabs, shrimps, pearls and sponges. It takes in marine ..fisheries, fresh water fisheries, "and fish culture in fresh water, the fisheries being the second most important industry in the islands. Dr. Herre is well prepared to undertake ;this work, having for nine years worked on fishes in the tropical Pacific with David Starr Jordan, who is the world's leading authority on fishes. For the past five years, Dr. Herre has been with Bellingham Normal, in the Department, of Science. He is quite modest about his attainments, calling himself a plain Whatcom county farmer. He has practiced agriculture for the last few years and has become proficient in clearing off stumps. The best wishes of the school are extended to Dr. Herre for success in his chosen work. Following is the song composed by Dr. Herre, which he is leaving with the school: OUR NORMAL-MARCHES ON (Tune "John Brown's Body") I By a maze of mighty mountains stands the Normal we hold dear, While the smiling Sound before is filled • with islands clustering near, In a land where life is joyous through the entire gladsome year — Our school is marching on." MISS WOODARD I M S AT The Wednesday assembly period was given to Miss Woodard for her helpful suggestions to Normal Students. She tactfully gathered all suggestions upon private, social, and public conduct under the title of "Advertising." Miss Woodard's talk was interesting as well as instructive. She presented the topic of grammar, table manners and dress, painted with humorous little examples, from the thousands of students that have passed under her observation and care at B. S. N. S. Not that it was you, gentle reader, that Miss Woodard wished to reach. Oh, dear me, no, but just take a look at your neighbor; he is the culprit. K. AND L MYERS ENTERTAIN The students and faculty of the Normal were delighted Wednesday morning, July 7, with a most unusual entertainment. The ones who featured in this pleasure were the Misses Katherine and Lucy Myers. The latter Miss Myers is a graduate from the Normal and we were proud to be able to appreciate her art in the mastery of the piano. Miss Katherine is attending the Whatcom High School and we are hoping that one who has such a talent of voice will soon be in our midst. The delightful program began with vocal solos by Miss Katherine Myers: " By Waters of Minnetonka" (Limu-rence), " D e a r e s t ' ' (Sidney Homer). Then two piano solos were rendered by Miss Lucy Myers: "Romance" (Frank La Forge), "To a Wild Rose" (McDowell). Chorus — Hail, all hail, to dear old Normal Hail, all hail, to dear old Normal Hail,- all hail, to dear old Normal The Bellingham Normal School. II In the shade of rugged Sehome here we lead the life we love, With truth for mind and body in a beauteous pattern wove, Thus we build for future lives as pure as flaming stars above While our school goes marching on. Chorus — I II O Normal School on Puget Sound, you surely hold my heart, The days go by like pleasant dreams — too soon, alas, we part — Your sons' and daughters' wisdom bear to forest, farm and mart, As we go marching on. Chorus — OTHER TEACHERS LEAVE FOR VACATION MISS MOFFAT AND MISS CLARK GO TO ALASKA FOR FEW WEEKS Miss Moffat, head of Physical Education Department, and Miss Clark, of the Home Economics Department, are planning such a delightful vacation we would like to be with them. They leave on the 14th for Skagway, Alaska, from there going inland to Dawson. They plan several side trips into the mountains and forests to visit the mining and lumbering camps and other interesting features of the Northland. On their return they will stop at Juneau and at Sitka. Two months is the time they expect to spend in Alaska. MISS STRYKER WILL TEACH IN ALASKA On the 2Sth Miss Stryker, who is now of the Normal Art Department, begins her eleven days' trip to Ninilchic, Alaska. She will spend the winter there with her sister and anticipates a very pleasant stay. MISS FRIDENBERGER LEAVES FOR CHICAGO Miss Fridenberger and Miss Alta Sears will leave Saturday morning for Vancouver, and from there will go to Chicago. Miss Sears expects to return in the fall, but Miss Fridenberger does not. The Normal students, especially those who have had the good fortune to be under Miss Fridenberger's supervision in the Training School, sincerely regret that she is leaving. VACATION AT EDENS HALL The Edens Hall girls have returned from their vacation tried but happy. They seem to have put their whole heart into having fun and now return to work with renewed vigor. Some of the girls went to their homes, and some spent their vacation with other relatives or friends. Those who remained at Edens Hall spent the Fourth at Squalicum Beach. SUNSET ON PUGET SOUND The sun as it sinks into the waters of Puget Sound, presents a beautiful and inspiring sight. A golden shaft of light summons the red clouds to attention, while their gorgeous hues transform the silver bay into a sea of sparkling rubies. Old Sol, a great yellow sapphire, changes himself into a flaming ball of fire as he slowly and grandly descends behind the distant mountains. Cool, whispering breezes waft the welcoming night bird's call. Queen Darkness softly steals in, takes the tired world in her arms and lulls it to sleep. ^ T GIVE MUSICAL TREAT PROGRAM OF SOLOS AND DUETS DELIGHTS SUMMER SCHOOL S T U D E N T S Music hath charms to drive dull care away, so we all agree. That is the reason everyone voted Wednesday's assembly one of the most enjoyable of the summer.. . You could see everyone sit up a little straighter with an expectant, pleased expression when Dr. Nash announced that we were to have music by Mrs. Boucher and Mrs. Nash, accompanied by Miss Williams. The morning was warm and the assembly was crowded, but we so enjoyed the delightful songs that such minor details were forgotten. Mrs. Nash sang first: " The Winds in the South" (Scott), "To a Hilltop" (Cox), "Joy of the Morning" (Ware). This group met with the aproval of her audience so heartily that as an encore she sang " Come to the Garden, Love" (Salter). Mrs. Nash and Mrs. Boucher sang the duet " Power Eeternal" by Rossini, a beautiful selection, beautifully rendered. Mrs. Boucher then sang "My Heart Is a Garden of Dreams" (Amy Aldrich North), " Printemps Noureau " (Vidal), "Hay Fields and Butterflies" (Del Rileys). As an encore, Mrs. Boucher sang " The Spring Has Come" by White. We were really sorry when this assembly came to an end, but we hope this will not be our last opportunity of hearing these two ladies. We invite them to return and sincerely hope they may accept our invitation. FIRST TERM ENDS The first six weeks of school comes to a close today. Not with a bang, but swiftly, silently, almost stealthfully, the days have slipped by, filled with work and pleasure not soon to be forgotten. .. A great deal has been accomplished in these six weeks. Outings and entertainments have flavored the week ends.. Speakers, the Normal School has been proud to entertain, have given the keys to the best in life. Work has always been the password in education and this first term has been astonishingly well filled. The enrollment has been large and of the eight hundred enrolled, only nineteen are not continuing to the end of the quarter.. Everyone is ready for the last lapse, well pleased with the past. ' Take a fresh grip and begin, there are only-six more weeks left. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1920 July 9 - Page 2 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1920 HOUSE NOTES NICHOLS HALL The week end proved to be a very busy one for the Nicholites. Gladys Shahan, Lisle Roper, Elva Neander, Maude Ranford and Clara Peterson visited in Seattle. Alice Satre, Gertrude Reese, Mildred Wilcoxen, Dorothea Bangle and Vera Dunbar went to their respective homes at Stanwood, Silvanna, Everson, Nook-sack and Mount Vernon. Narcissa Collins was a guest of Dorothea Bangle. ' Calista Washburn went to her home at Lake Stevens. Thursday afternoon Clara Sachtler, June Zeperneck, Calista Washburn and Anna Keating enjoyed a picnic lunch out at Lake Whatcom. When lunch was finished they found themselves in the midst of a to-be gypsy camp. Understand the gypsy campers arrived in several cars. After a hike and ride we found ourselves home and in the midst of another busy scene, but one much more pleasant. Mr. H. C. L. was cast aside and the girls had planned a taffy pull. The best cook was found and such remarks as " See how white mine is getting!" "Just taste i t ! " "Oh, I believe I am getting a blister!" were heard. As the small hand crept toward twelve everyone retired to their rooms. One must wake up early to race with Mr. Sun these bright mornings. Saturday morning June Zeperneck, Clara Sachtler and Anna Keating were well on their way to Fairhaven Park, as it crept over Sehome. A fire was soon built and the early explorers were enjoying an appetizing breakfast at an extraordinary early hour. Ada Jones and her sister, Amy, who is visiting her, had a delightful trip to Vancouver Sunday. The would-be " Stay-at-Homes " picnicked at the state park Monday. The park proved to be a source of information. Anyone curious as to what it might have been, apply at rooms 1, 7 and 10, Nichols Hall. Did anyone see Laura Bangle and Esther Olson Sunday or Monday? GEROLD HOUSE Grace Thatcher and Vera Rocene accompanied Evelyn Hardison to Everett where they spent the holidays. Miss Hardison has been visiting her sister, Grace Thatcher, for the last several days. MYRTLE CLUB Mr. Hobart Wiseman took his regular trip to Sedro-Woolley over the week end. We havent's found out why yet, Hobart. Messrs. Harry Bartruff and Russell Macpherson spent Saturday visiting with Mr. Thomas Harrison, of East Sound. They report a very enjoyable time. It seems that a beautiful young lady led " Mac" astray. We have not been able to learn particulars at this writing, but will do our best. Mr. Clinton Primer motored to Glacier and vicinity on Sunday. We wonder if he was alone. Mr. Bartruff spent Monday and Tuesday morning celebrating at Birch Bay. Mr. Paul W. Pinckney spent the week end visiting at his home in Blaine. — HORATIO BROWN'S STUDIO, Sunset Building NOTES FROM THE HOUSE OF SHANLEY Mrs. Mary Anderson, who is attending the University of Washington, spent the fourth and fifth at Shanley House. Ted Anderson, the house mascot, is back again after a visit to Seattle and Tacoma. Marie Schrepel, Lois Van Houten, Dorothy Scheel, Daisy Blue, Irene Johnson, Ruth Verd, Ellen Long, Mary Dus-tin and Editli Linde went on a hike to Inspiration Point. After picnicking on fried chicken, salad and other delicacies they returned home, tired but hilarious. EDENS HALL Eva Main, house president, rang the quiet bell. Elsie Wilsted, helping Margaret Lewis move her bed through the hall on second floor, " Who do you want? " Eva: " I want quiet." Margaret: "She's not here. She has gone home for the week end." The girls who spent their vacation away from the hall are Jo Silvers, Bertha Haines, Lillian Showalter, Pearl Baxter, Ruth McLeod, Gena Hagen, Ragna Wold, Hazel Berger, Frances Kernan, Edna Owens, Vyra Ulfers, Ida Griebrok, Margaret Hiemdahl and Lorraine Winters. Ethel Claypool and Willie Wood left on Saturday for Seattle. The girls left here began their vaca tion with a boating party Friday even ing on Lake Whatcom. Four of the girls being delayed were to join the party a half hour later, but by missing the car a few times, the half hour was extended quite a few minutes. At last they reached the lake where all enjoyed a very pleasant evening. Miss Woodard spent her vacation at Orcas Island. . Edens Hall squad drilled and led by Corporal Ogren made a grand showing in the parade on the Fourth. Buck private Lewis distributed the hats made for the occasion. Color' bearers Hawk and Wilsted proudly carried the national colors. The line of march was down Cedar then High. During the course of the parade they marched into the jaws of death at 911 High. Over the top to the Normal approached these back home. Moving pictures were taken of the parade. Many said they never witnessed such a parade before. Of those that were left here for celebrating the Fourth some took the trip to Vancouver, B. C, and some went on a picnic to Squalicum Beach. Peggy Lewis spent the week end in room 20. BEVER HOUSE We're all here! We're all here! A little the worse for wear after the various Fourth of July " blow-outs" but on the job again. Oza Myers spent a most enjoyable week end at the home of Margaret Tew (a former Normal student) at Kirk-land, Washington. Frances Erickson and Ruth Lorenzen report an exceedingly pleasant( though short and sweet) visit at the home of the former in Everett. Olive Provan visited over the week end with Mrs. Geo. Sullens, of Bellingham. The remaining five girls spent their holidays in a very sedate and dignified manner here in Bellingham. The pleasures were varied in their nature, but all profitable, you may be sure. Victoria Huston picnicked at Chuck-anut Beach on Monday, July 5. Good eats and swimming were the order of the day: THE GREATER Alamo Shows COMBINED Twenty-five Cars — Three Hundred People Four Rides — Twenty Attractions WEEK STARTING Monday, July 12 AUSPICES OF THE AMERICAN LEGION MAGNIFICENT PALACES OF HIGH GRADE AMUSEMENT — NOT AN OBJECTIONABLE FEATURE OF ANY KIND IS PRESENTED J U S T FUN AND F R O L IC Open Afternoon and Evening HOME STORE 1312-14 BAY STREET A.

Bartruff proved anew his ability to win against all ages past, present, or future, the short dashes, and Macpherson showed his old skill in lifting weight over the cross-bar, he won undisputed claim to champion high jumper of Orcas Island. The boys also report a swell time at the island jazz palace at Deer Harbor and recommend it to their friends, but a word to the wise. Look out for the vamp. She got one of them, but we can't tell which one she caught. No sir! But ask Harry or Mac. . Ask Pinckney about the story a very angry man told him of the Normal girl who uses alum instead of talcum powder on her face. The attraction at Sedro-Woolley apparently has not dimmed, although we thought she had gone East, Hobart. Look out for the vamps, they get even the best of men. Ask Harry or Mac. CEDARS We claim that we are the original "peppy" people. Friday we all took our lunches to Squalicum and did the beach in the regulation style. Just one social engagement after the other during the week end. What did you do the Fourth? We went to Vancouver, B. C, and we had positively the best time ever. Nineteen of us, ourselves and friends, left in the chilly morning for the country to the north. Of course there may be things about Vancouver we may not know after doing it in one day, but we at least have a " How-do-you-do " acquaintance with it. When we returned, tired? A little bit happy? A whole heap!- Bertha Gould went to her home in Seattle for the week end. A great variety of good things happened. Inez Zehle and Julia Burke, from Everett, spent the week end with Nau-reen Stauffer and Emma Zehle. Lizzie Dunagan has left our home for her own in Ferndale. Anna Meyer spent Saturday night with Mary Sawyer. Mr. Augustus Beech, from Morton, a friend of Miss Lillie Coleman, celebrated the Fourth in Bellingham. BERNICE HALL A mdinight Waffle Club has been formed at Bernice Hall. The club consists of a squad of eight men, of which Ben Johnson is the corporal. Mr. Bancroft spent the week end in Seattle, where he could be near his fiance. There are rumors that he will soon introduce her to us as his wife. The Bernites have formed a baseball team, and issue a challenge to any organization to a twilight game. Anyone Nothing hinders clear and q u i ck . thinking so quickly as eyestrain. Consult Woll, the Optometrist, about your eyes. 205 W. Holly interested should see Doc Gilbreath, captain. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson have brought their Ford up here to Bernice Hall, and expect to make some long trips this summer. Well, being that all the fellows, including Brown, have behaved quite well this week, and being that most of them have paid their room rent, there is no more news this time. The Normal School was well represented on the Sioux Friday night. A large crowd of students took advantage of the three clays' vacation to visit their homes in Seattle and adjoining cities. Four Oregonians, Ina, Rosco and Cornelia Johnson and Cecile Stevens, hiked to Lake Samish Sunday. This is the end of the first term of the summer session. Many subjects will be brought to a close, many students will be leaving, many new students will be entering, and B. S. N. S. will resume its busy air again. " Something attempted, something clone," and the days fleet on. Miss Dora Squires, a graduate of 1919, was married on June 30th to Le-lloy Smith, of Hoh, Washington. Directly after the ceremony which took place at the bride's home on Samish Island, the young couple left for Vancouver and Victoria on their honeymoon. Miss Lulu and Ruby Anderson spent the Fourth of July with their sister in Seattle. They both report a very good time. A picnic party consisting of the Misses Jean Frank, Winnie Spieseke, Hazel Evans and Vickey Huston celebrated the 5th at Chuckanut Beach. Miss Irene Thomas, secretary to Dr. Nash, left Tuesday morning for Chicago. Mr. W. J. Rice, who will give a course in his system of penmanship the last six weeks of the summer quarter, addressed the assembly last Wednesday. He presented his system and urged students to take his course. Organizations ALKISIAHS Another one of those good times were had by '.the Alkisiah Club Thursday, July 1, at Squalicum Beach. The crowd consisted of twenty-one members, new and old, and three of our honorary members, Miss Baker, our sponsor, Miss Montgomery and Miss Fridenberger. . Our feed was as it always is —the best ever. After all had partaken of the choice morsels, the group walked the old pier and enjoyed the sunset and its reflection on Mt. Baker. STYLE What next? We talk about the high cost of living, but I wonder whether we have ever thought that keeping up with style is one of the important things connected with that problem. Style is as changeable as the weather, one season the styles are so, and next season entirely different.

Bellingham's Lotvest Price Goat and Suit Store DRY GOODS, WOMAN'S FURNISHINGS PICTORIAL REVIEW PATTERNS up with the changes. But luckily people are becoming more and more sensible than before. It has sort of been this way when someone through economy's sake has decided to wear last year's best and when the clay arrives wears these last year's best and then meets your best friend who is arrayed in new garments. Horrors! that sinking feeling it brings. Your hands and feet never seemed so large before. You even feel large all over. You seem to be a landmark. Your conversation was hackneyed and all the time you kept thinking what a relief it would be to be home alone, away from your friend's gaze and everyone's gaze that seemed to penetrate everywhere in you. So the next day while still suffering from the effects of your embarrassment the previous day, you make a shopping tour and buy a new outfit at fabulous prices. Of course this is just one instance and just of a certain class of 'people. To alleviate this situation of style, we might try the uniform dress system. This, of course, has its many advantages and disadvantages. Some of the latter would be that one would have to give up clothes that seem to fit just your individual self. Clothes have that little way about them of bringing out people, seem to tell you a great deal more about you than any one person can. Another thing we might consider would be, be your own dressmaker and utilize old clothes to make into new ones. This would help relieve the question of style and high cost of living. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1920 July 9 - Page 4 ---------- 4 THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1920 THE WEEKLY c^HESSENGERj) Published by Students' Association of State Normal School, Bellingham.

Z«"la THOUGHTLESSNESS Yes, we have our daily work to do and ideals to be accomplished. If the great things are done we must put forth our every effort, and must strive in the face of failure. But, should our minds be so self-centered that we do not see those around us? Should we heed no opportunity for an act of kindness? Is it our lot to inhibit all else, but our own welfare? Let us consider, and remember, when we go in to assembly next time, that a seat where we may hear -more easily or get out more readily, belongs to some other earthly being. When owner of said seat stands by us, hugging a "wheelbarrow " load of books and looking for an unoccupied seat, hoping " we will take a tumble," we could go elsewhere and save the poor fellow an embarrassing situation. To measure the meaning-of the poor fellow's lingering, and the tempestous facial expression, all take thought. So, let us use that gray and white matter, and little cells that were put in our skyward extremities. You should do for your children what their parents fail to do for them: . The reading, writing and arithmetic are not, after all, what they most need; it is all well and good for them to learn something, but the really important thing is for them to be something— for them to become what they are meant to be, and in becoming which they so often have no guidance or help at home. — Pesialozzi in "Leonard and Gertrude." tYi o t o£i aJ£i! 5 Faculty Notes and Training School- : Viola Gosch House Note« Blanche Cummmgs Organizations ..... - ----Marie Tinker jokes Marguerite Foye Athletics":::::::::::"...:: :: - ...Howard Griggs Exchange .". - --fada Tinker General School News Helen Hogan The ways of the world are many and interesting. In our journey through life we meet with a great variety of them. But most of us are so concerned with trying to please ourselves and digest our books, that we forget about noticing the ways of our many neighbors. There was once a person who thought that she knew a very great deal. In fact, an exceedingly huge amount of knowledge had been crammed into her head. One day she took' a walk. This was not the first time such an event had occurred in her life. She had walked before, oh very often, but this was different. Today she opened her eyes for the first time. Not that they had not seemed to be open before, for she was a very human looking creature. But today she began to see. The birds were having their annual spring reception. The 'nsects were glad to be alive. The animals were out for exercise. The world was full of life and color, and the girl realized for the first time that the earth was not created especially for man, but that man was created for the earth; that animals and birds are often more human than humans, and he who understands and knows their ways lias a priceless knowledge. — M. E. F. JAB? Occasionally we see people who feel that it is of the utmost importance for them to get out of the auditorium before anyone else, when assembly is over. A push with his.shoulder, a jab with his elbow, or just a steady pushing forward of his whole body, help him to accomplish his purpose. But is it fair? Just think of the other fellow who may want out as badly as you do. MY IDEAS ON THINKING THE FLAG Doesn't it give you a thrill whenever you look at our new flag pole with its vivacious flag? Sitting in the classroom and listening to some lecture, you will perhaps turn your head to gaze out of the window for a moment, and there you see " Old Glory" flaunting its colors, and waving at you with so much pep that it seems as if it were urging, you to work with a new vigor, and then you take the" hint and again turn your head from the charming view and put your undivided attention to the lecture.

Stoop not, do not even bow, but with face to the sun, eye steady, step resolute, walk thy path; it leads to God. WE WONDER We really . do wonder where the "golden silence" goes to in assembly? How the supervisors can possibly take care of so many training school teachers at once? What some people find to talk about? BROWN'S STUDIO, Sunset Building " If you haven't something good to say about another, leave the rest unsaid." Most of our unkind remarks are made because we don't understand the other person's viewpoint, are they not? Let us try to find a virtue in every one we meet as did the dear old lady in whose presence a neighbor convicted of crime was being discussed. She did not criticize but remarked, " Charlie was a mighty good whistler." Are you helped by destructive criticism when you make mistakes? How, then, may others feel about it? By MAIUE OI.SEN "As a man thinketh, so is he." He makes or mars his life by his thoughts. To think good thoughts is to be a good man. If he wants to do big things he must think big things. If his thoughts and his ideals are high he will find himself growing bigger and nearer his ideals. A man makes himself in his mind. The kind of a man he wants to be, he will be, if he wants it earnestly enough. What lie earnestly wants himself to be he unconsciously becomes. The real nature of any man is always found in the expression of his ideas, both in actions and words. He acts what he thinks unconscious of what he is doing. If his thoughts and ideals are right he becomes stronger every day. Each day he becomes better equipped to meet the situations of tomorrow. While on the other hand, if his thoughts and ideals are" wrong he becomes weaker each day and less capable of facing tomorrow. A good pure mind makes a good pure man. To be a success in life a man must be enthusiastic and energetic. Lazy, slovenly thoughts will not produce enthusiasm and energy. To be a great man he must think great thoughts for in his mind he makes himself. Right thinking always results in right living. DON'T FRIGHTEN THE ROBINS Isn't it wonderful to have the robins so tame as they are on the campus? They will be this way every summer if they know we will not harm them. A few days ago as I was coming home from the Normal I saw two training school boys on the campus teasing the robins. Another boy came along and said, "Aw, come on, kids, leave the robins alone. Don't bother them." If other boys were as thoughtful as this: one we would have more tame robins. — ERSA STINSON WORDS To widen one's vocabulary is to increase the range of one's ideas. Use an exact word to express an exact idea and a general word to express a general idea. You must have the exact word in your vocabulary to express your meaning. Increase your vocabulary by reading and using new words. A suggestive word that appeals to the imagination is good to use. A common word used in an uncommon way. The purpose of figures of speech is to stir the imagination and assist the understanding. Every word must be used with propriety. Slang narrows one's vocabulary. Use more carefully selected words in writing than in talking. The right tone to use in writing is a matter of taste. Avoid superfluous words. Avoid the repetition of ideas. Use no word which you can spare. Learn the use of idioms. PROTECT YOUR FRIENDS Trees are our friends. They give us so much — beauty, shade, lumber — and serve as landmarks. We could go on for pages, telling of the many things we get from them. I wonder just how many of us are so interested in trees that we can recognize a few of the things that harm our friends, and upon recognition, if we can do something to help them. Walking through the little Garden Street Park the other day, I was admiring a beautiful little brick tree. Near the top and on several of the lower branches I noticed hundreds of caterpillars. To me that meant a partial, if not total, destruction of that tree. We find these fuzzy leaf-eaters on so many of the trees, and they are doing very much harm. Can't we get rid of them Couldn't we try to get the property owners or • someone interested enough to destroy these pests before they are hatched? Pass the word along and see what you can do.

BROWN'S STUDIO, Sunset Building ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1920 July 9 - Page 5 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1920 DANCING IN THE SCHOOLS By ARTHUR L. HUGGINS Throughout the Normal Schools and the high schools of our state there is a feeling that if a social event such as a dance was to be held in the school that the standards of that school would be Shattered and thus the reputation of that school would not be of the very best character. Interwoven in almost every study that is- being taught in the schools today is that element which is to teach the pupil to be a good citizen, but along with this to be a good mixer. In a large number of the educational books which are being studied in our schools at the present time, we read that the function of education is to teach us to live better and to be able to associate with our fellow beings in the most helpful and beneficial manner.- Although this is taken to be a true fact to a great extent, it is • not followed out. Whenever any community allows this to be followed out by means of a social function which we shall call a dance, immediately talk began to circulate stating that the school has disgraced itself and deserves to be placed at a low standing in the educational world. When the student goes out from these high schools, they sometimes consider their education completed. In the case of the Normal School, most of the graduates secure positions as teachers and thus settle down to their life work of teaching the children, which are to be the men and women of tomorrow. Many teachers may be called upon to teach in a district where dancing is considered the chief entertainment of that community. The people will look to the teacher to share in. these dances or she may even be called upon to arrange a dance for the district as she would be called upon to arrange a box social or any other form of entertainment. If she should not be able to dance or take part in their dances, she may be looked upon as being unfitter* for her position in that locality. Usually a dbmmunity wants a teacher that is able to take part in any kind of entertainment that may take place in the district in which she teaches, but if she is not able to do this it may cost her her position in that locality. The old feeling that dancing in a school house is a detriment to the educational world should be abolished and the school authorities of the country should lift this ban from the schools of America. Dancing should be permitted in the schools as long as they are conducted by the students and are under the supervision of the school authorities. They would benefit the students very much because they would become acquainted with the chief pastime of most every community. This would thus give the • student an idea how a dance should be . conducted in a school district. It would also provide a suitable place for the students to dance who do not care to go to public dances. Dancing is considered a very healthful sport by many people and it should at least be considered in the gymnastic work of the school. fork dropped means company is coming? Yet most everyone at some time or other has let himself be influenced by some form of superstition. It is not only among the ignorant that superstition is prevalent, it is found in abundance among college and university students. The particular brand of superstition varies somewhat between the men and the women, and it is generally conceded that women are more superstitious than men. When there is someone at a tea who can " tell your fortune " in the tea leaves, there is quite a fluttering, and every lady waits breathlessly for her turn. Why do we do these things? Because there is in each of us a desire to satisfy that feeling of mysticism, the grasping of the. faintest clue that might tell us of the future. If we stop to analyze why we are superstitious about certain things we shall find that we have either credited someone's else statement, have taken one or two instances that prove our belief and have forgotten the times the superstition did not prove true. For instance, a man believed that a black cat crossing his path was the sign of misfortune. When asked for his reason for such a belief he replied that he had had two accidents after a black cat crossed his path. The inference one could draw then is that if the cats had been white the accidents would never have happened. A boy feared the number thirteen because several people who had had locker number thirteen, including himself, had been hurt, so of course the inanimate number got the blame. There is only one cure for superstition— kill it by starvation. Study science, psychology and develop your reasoning powers, because superstition and good reason are enemies. LIVING STANDARDS SUPERSTITION By PEART. INGAT.LS Superstition is a cruel, overpowering master to those in its grasp. It warps the lives of seemingly sane people. But, who can be sane and yet firmly believe that a broken mirror will bring bad luck for :seven years, that opening .an umbrella in the house is unlucky, that a By DOROTHY MCKEON It is easy to point out that in countries where wages are low the standard of living is also low, but it is not so easy to show that in countries where wages are high the reverse is true. High wages do not always insure good living. In some places that have been held up to us as examples of good conditions all this is not true. If we were to delve closely in to the case we should find that the reason living in these places were good would be because the people living there are industrious and the country is productive. The wages we should find, would be high because the population has not yet begun to press heavily upon the resources of the earth. In America today the standard is very low, mainly because wages are constantly increasing while the laborer has no responsibility at all, either as to what he consumes or what he produces. For this reason and under the false assumption of standards, wages are growing greater, prices are mounting as demands increase and supplies and force dwindle. America should mean more to the individual. Americanism is an ideal for all to follow. The individual owes it to his country to produce all he can for the sake of humanity. At the same" time society owes him the right to enjoy the fruit of. his labors. This principle is as true of the farmer as it is of the laborer. The government cannot assure all comers that their living will be insured or that the American standard will be beneficial to him — it guarantees nothing except protection.

IDEALS Without dreamers who love high ideals and visions the world would make no progress. The greatest of achievements as at one time only a dream. Your environment may be uncongenial, but it will not long remain so if you have an ideal and strive to reach it. Take the case of a young man confined long hours in a mill; without education and refinement. But he dreams of better things; unrest urges him to action, and he makes use of his spare time and means to develop the power within himself. Soon he outgrows the mill and goes on to better things, making use of every available opportunity. Later in life we find him carrying immense responsibilities and' moulding the character of other people. He has at last realized the vision of his youth. Many times people say of one who has reached a high place in life, "How lucky he is." They do not stop to see the trials, struggles and failures that he has met in order to achieve his ideal. They see only the result and call it good fortune. In all human life the result is measured by the effort, but first of all we must have the vision to strive toward. — MILLIE BARTLETT NOTICE Anyone wishing to learn bicycle riding under a competent instructor, consult Miss Mead.

A hobo was quietly sitting By the track as he heaved a sigh; 'His sub-conscious mind was working, As he thought of the days gone by. Beneath his old tattered clothing And under his cinder soiled skin, Lay a warm heart that was beating, And a loving soul deep within. Toils of tramp life were forgotten As he yielded to a call well known; And his mind drifted back to childhood; Yes, way back to his dear old home. Lured away by Boston Johnnie, From his home among wooded hills, Who filled him with hobo stories, Of adventure and scenic thrills. The ties of many a railroad Had been trod by his weary feet, In past years of hobo bumming, For a handout, something to eat. Now his mind drifted back homeward, As he sat there beside the rails, Cursing the wandering hobo Who told him thc»3e wonderful tales. Cold air of the autumn evening, Gradually chilled him to the bone; As he thought of his dear old mother, And the place he called home, sweet home. A train just then was passing, As he swung on with a sigh, Said my love for home and mother I'll carry until I die. The moon shone in golden splendor, As the freight rolled on and on, And the crickets in the field Broke the stillness with chirping song. Huddled in an empty box car, Beside a lost hobo brother, Mid tear dimmed eyes and quivering lips He spelt that dear old word, " Mother." ' —J.

LITTLE THINGS Sometimes we have to think about .things, and how very often it is about the insignificant, little things of our everyday life we are forced to think! How many of us realize the important part " little things" play in this world of ours? Truly, not many, and what a pity it is, How sad it is that more of us cannot look ahead, into the future and, by so doing, mold our present lives to meet the coming needs. Then are heavy demands to be met which should be prepared for, by each day making ourselves more fit. We must follow the example set us by the tiny acorn that day after day, slowly, yes, but surely grows and grows until one day, long years after it has been planted, we have a sturdy oak tree able to stand even the severest weather. To ponder upon the " little things " is | ladies of the circle. The star ball of the extremely interesting. For example, let us take just a common, ordinary screw that we throw away, when we are through with it, as something without value. What would we do without screws on a locomotive, automobile, flying machine, steamboat, and — O, we could mention numberless things! Yes, we must admit, that even screws are necessary! and that is only one, small thing from among a million such! Think that if we did not have the seven different tones of our " C " scale on the piano we would lose some of our beautiful chords and this, in turn, would mean the loss of much exquisite music! On the other side, too, we know that many, many quarrels ending in some tragic or other serious manner have been the outcome of some trifling matter— somebody's hurt feelings. And so, on and on, unendingly, we can go relating how the " little things " of life, are, in the end, the most vital, therefore — " Think naught — a trifle, Though small it appear, Small sands make the desert, Moments make the year — And trifles — life." A GREAT MISTAKE By A. POMEROY In a humble though pleasant and homelike little cottage in a mountain district lived a young couple, Mary and John. As far as money was concerned you might call them poor, although they had enough to live comfortably on without luxury. But they were really rich, and much more so than many people with bags of money; for they had the fresh, pure mountain air. Their garden might be compared to the Garden of Eden. The perfect health and happiness as well as many other valuable things was this couple's riches. Happy. they were in taking- part in the simple though fruitful and entertaining programs and community socials. The school house served as a social hall, here the people of the community gathered in the evenings for literary clubs and socials of various kinds. How everyone delighted to hear old Uncle Joe sing those good old songs; everyone was eager to do their part. The singing was accompanied by various musical instruments; for in this humble though happy community every one was eager to do what he could, and do his best. After refreshments were served all went home with a happy heart and the feeling of fellowship toward his neighbors. All must end too soon, a friend of Mary's from the city came to visit her. She was delighted with the grand scenery, but leaned more to the bright lights of the city. "We have always been chums," she said to Mary, " and it seems too bad we can npt be closer together now. Why don't you move . to the city where you can enjoy yourself? This is such a humble little place and you are only throwing your life away by living in such a secluded place." These words were on Mary's mind for many days after her fine city friend returned home. At last she told John she was dissatisfied and wanted to move to the city where she could take part in society and live as her friend. John realized they were poor and what it would mean, but Mary's friend had fully convinced her it was all for the best, so they went to town to live in luxury. Mary soon became one of the leading season was to be given and Mary was to attend. It was necessary for her to be dressed accordingly. It took most of their money they had saved to prepare, even then there was something lacking. " Your neck looks bare, Mary; you should have a string of pearls to set everything off," said her friend. But Mary did not have any. Her friend soon remedied this by borrowing a string. Next day the pearls were to be returned for the owner's use. When Mary removed her wraps that evening and looked in the glass her pearls were gone. Where were they? A wild search was made but they were not to be found. What could she do. She told John, " They are gone and we can never buy another string as expensive. Could she even tell the owner she had lost her precious necklace. Mary did not sleep that night. She was up early the next morning to renew the search, but they were not to be found. With a sad face that day John wrote the check for their last cent, and returned with the gorgeous string of pearls. Mary was very sad but nothing was left to do but take the new treasure and tell the owner. With trembling lips Mary related the sad story with apologies and regrets. With an eager hand the lady took the shining jewel from Mary's quivering hand and looked at it. She looked pleased, but from her actions Mary knew she wanted to hide it. Some days later when talking with a friend Mary learned her great mistake. The pearls she bought cost more than five hundred dollars, the last cent they had; the borrowed pearls had been bought from this girl who was a clerk in the fifteen cent sto'-e. This troubled Mary. Could that lady Ce dishonest. Why did she take the expensive string and not tell her the value of the borrowed ones? Sick at heart Mary went to bed that night with never a word to John. She was thinking, seriously thinking the matter over. The next morning she was the same Mary we knew in the little mountain district. She said to John, "Let us move back to our home." He was somewhat surprised. Then Mary told him the story, saying, " I would rather live with simple true friends than fancy, false ones." THE ECONOMIC VALUE OF BIRDS By MARIOJT EDGEIILT Years ago the economic value of birds was only looked upon by poets, etc., from the sentimental standpoint. Science has learned that they are of real value to the farmers. The Audubon Society has succeeded to arouse the government department of agriculture to investigation of the birds. Nature keeps a balance in vegetable and animal life. Vegetation depends upon animal life. Man upset the balance of nature by allowing insects to live and destroying birds. Birds eat weed seeds and help to destroy the things that constantly keep the farmer working to take care of his crop. To prove this, 26,000 birds were examined to find what they ate. Every kind of seed was classified and the insects named. One pair of Gypsy moths in eight years would completely defoliate the whole United States. The loss in a year from these insects is eight hundred million dollars. It has been proved that the loss of foods caused by insects is greater than that caused by birds. For this reason alone let's save the birds. Permanent Hair Waving NESTLE SYSTEM Last six months; will not injure. Washing hair improves it. Shampoos of all kinds. Mrs. Ruth M.

Overheard by the roommate of the three Miss Drapers the evening of the sixth of July: First Draper:' "If it is tails, we will go to the show." Second Draper: "If it is heads, we will go to bed." Third Draper: "If it stands on end, we will study." PLAY Do we play enough? I fear that we sometimes forget to play, or to be more frank, don't know how to play. We work and toil hard every day and then think we have diversion by taking in a show or dance in the evening. But have we? I think for the most time not, for we sit in cramped positions in sutffy rooms, trying hard to see everything on the screen. You sort of have that stuffy, dazed feeling in your head when you get out of the show, and seem to take in an unusually large amount of fresh air to make up for what you have lost in the building. Then with dancing we work harder than when doing some simple gymnastics. You're worked up to a perspiration and excitement which is very hard on a person's physical self. But pure, active, healthful, profitable play is what people need. How can Ave supply this need? Firstly by good, wholesome, unselfish conrpanions who will encourage and help one another in the social life of which they are a part. Tennis playing, baseball, skating, football, basketball, swimming and such sports and reading of good literature, besides home social functions transform you. You become a new person, invigorated with life and mental alertness. You are more capable of thinking and doing after several hours of such invigorating recreation where you forget all your worries and cares. — ESTHER MOEIMING COURTING Long ago when in the spring a young-man's fancy turned to thoughts of love, he saddled his horse and went courting. Silas Henry's favorite proverb was " The early bird catches the worm." So when the chores were done he immediately saddled his white horse and set out for the much wooed Nancy Ann's house. Now this habit of Henry's was extremely annoying to a rival for the hand of Nancy Ann, so he planned a revenge. One night Henry after bidding Nancy Ann goodnight, climbed on his horse, which always was hitched to the gate post, observing only that Fanny seemed a little fatter than usual. Then he felt himself rising, then falling, falling, falling. Splash! he had landed in the pigsty. He picked himself up a sad and chastened man. His courting suit was ruined. It would be many nights before he could have a new one and Nancy Ann would be won from him. He slowly limped to him unfaithful Fanny only to find a young white heifer saddled in Fanny's place. THE GIRL WHO EARNS HER OWN LIVING In any occupation a girl may choose to earn her own living. She needs certain qualifications and businesslike attributes to be successful. Training for a trade or profession will count little if she does not possess the ability to apply her knowledge in the practical businesslike way. The industrial or professional world needs the well trained girl. The girl who is sincere, loyal and capable of concentrating on the work at hand. Be sincere in all your work. And do not be afraid you will do more than you are paid for. Sincerity is built upon common sense and which leads to loyalty and concentration. Be loyal to your employer, for loyalty is a splendid business asset. It wins the respect and appreciation of your employer. OUTLINE I. Training or education. HIGHLAND CREAMERY CONFECTIONERY, ETC. H.

Oh! ONE OF NATURE'S MIRACLES, THE BALANCE By EI.T.ENOHA Hoints Nature keeps a balance between insect and plant life. When a young tree starts growing it has a great many little branches. At it grows larger and larger the bark grows around these small branches, and causes them to fall to the ground. Now, if they just were left on the ground the forests would have buried themselves many times. It is for this purpose that we have insect life in our forests. The different insects eat into the wood and cause it to decay and form humus. If it were not for this humus the food material in the soil would be diminished in the several hundred years it takes a tree to grow. Sometimes the insect life will get into the tree and begin to ruin the timber. Then the birds will come in great flocks and clean out this surplus worker. If nature were just left alone so mnay forests would not be ruined. However, man comes along and for sport or because he is misinformed as to value of the birds, he shoots them and nature's balance is upset, and the trees of our great forests decay. This is only one of the many instances where man interferes with things nature has arranged. Nature is able to do her work if she is just given the chance. She also has the power, to do things which is not given to humans. References —" Nature Study Lectures," Miss Baker. BROWN'S STUDIO, Sunset Building HIKING One of the most worth while sports is hiking. Not only is it one of the healthiest, but it is one that also affords immeasurable pleasure. What is more wonderful than to wake up at 4 o'clock some fine morning, don a hiking garb, knapsack and camera, and climb to-the top of one of old Bellingham's beautiful surrounding hills? High on the tip-top watch old Sol slowly rise from behind the distant Selkirks and spread his golden rays over the bay and city below. And while the morning dewdrops are fading away, and the birds a caroling their glorious welcome to the King of Light, toast the bacon and sandwiches over the crackling fire. Er.IZAJJKTII S. ONEAT. INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL Life is a pleasure; my vision, my future, has broadened threefold since I came to B. S. N. S. It may be my course of study, it may be my mind is ripe, I do not know, except that each good thing I have received is associated with some teacher, not with the subject of study or my conception. They have reinspired the inner and made a path for its manifestation. They have not drilled at the external but spoken to the internal, making us feel proud and not ashamed of our real selves.

XIX THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, JUNE 25, 1920 NO. 37 TH TO HELD AUDIENCE WITH RAPT ATTENTION FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF. Dr. Henry Southwick, of the Emerson School "of Expression of Boston, was expected at the regular assembly Wednesday. Owing to the fact that he could not make connections and failed to arrive in time, the morning period was given to Dr. S. S. Curry's lecture on "Browning and the Monologue." Dr. Southwick arrived later in the day and assembly was called at 4 o'clock. The audience, students, teachers and visitors were delightfully entertained for an hour and a half by Dr. South-wick's reading of "King Lear." The greatest evidence of his mastery was the fact that he held those before him, in rapt attention for so long a period. It manifests, not only the ability of the man but also, B. S. N. S.'s ability to appreciate him. "King Lear" will long remain in the minds of Dr. Southwick's hearers. s. VISITS THE NORMAL Dr. W. S. Small, of the Hygiene Department, gave a short talk Wednesday assembly period on "Physical Conscience." The speaker in his introductory remarks, stated that it was his business to look after the educational development fund, which has a double purpose. The first is the purpose of encouraging certain institutions to develop hygiene in thje field—institutions whidh will undertake the work and insure success. The second phase of the work is to encourage research. This leads to better methods in the field, one of which is to reduce the death rate by better methods of living. Dr. Small says physical health may be acquired just as one may acquire skill in numerical competition. He gives out the idea that one needs to be wholesome and that it should be regarded as a privilege to even make the endeavor. That there, is no such virtue as enjoying bad health was made emphatic. Also that to enjoy good health is a moral obligation. When we come to assembly it is a courtesy expected of us that we give our attention to the speaker and not to those near us; so to whisper in assembly may seem a little thing, when twenty are doing" it, at the same time it becomes annoying to those about them, as well as to the speaker. THEODORA AKNESS. Eh? Normal High upon the wooded hill side, Over looking a wondrous bay, Sets the school of my fond fancy, On whose lawns the robins play. Charms of knowledge thus enticing,, Call me back to class once more, After five years of-migration, Back to the school I now adore. Toils of labor with no future, But a living wage to earn, Is the hard, cold worldly lesson That we sometime all must learn. Take a fool's advice, say brother, Don't shirk your work and start to stuff Chances lost are not forgotten, I'll tell the world I had enough. Opportunities are golden, In the brick school house on the hill, Where you gain an education, If you but have the power of will. Something no boss can take from you, Just pride yourself in this one thot, But you must study hard to gain it, Education cannot be bought. High upon the wooded hill side, Over looking a wondrous bay, Sets the school of my fond fancy, On whose lawns the robins play. —By J. Arthur Griffin. Miss Estelle Windhorst Demonstrates Schoolroom Use of Graphonola Miss Estelle L. Windhorst, representing the Educational Department Columbia Graphophone Co., gave a very interesting demonstration on the use of the graphonola in the school. Through use of the graphonola children may be taught the appreciation of music. Not only is the graphonola useful in furnishing music for the school, but it helps to create an interest and enthusiasm for their subjects. Miss Windhorst stated, while discussing the Napoleon wars, how easy it is to play a record on the Napoleon wars. In physical education the little folk records may be played. It is very easy for the children to follow the directions of the record. The appreciation of nature through the graphonola may be accomplished by playing songs of nature. In teaching poetry a child may not appreciate the beauty of the poem, but through music the child may be taught to appreciate the poetry. OR. M A M S LECTURES THIS WEEK SPEAKS ON THE EXPERIENCES HE HAD WHILE WITH Y. M. C. A. The Normal is very fortunate in having a series of lectures this week given by Dr. Mathes, who for fifteen years was president of the Normal here. During the war Dr. Mathes served our country abroad for eighteen months. His talks for the week are, Monday, "The British Tommy; Who Is He?" Tuesday, "The French Flander's Field;" Wednesday, "The French Peasant;" Thursday, "Latin and Teuton," and Friday, "Problems in Welfare Work." A summary of Dr. Mathes' talk follows: "When I entered the work I was given my preference so I selected the British in Northern France. I found the British Tommy very like the American; in fact, he is our cousin. As our relative I found him interested in the exercise of freedom. Wherever you find the English-speaking people you will find they are interested in a republican form of government. They look at freedom from a little different viewpoint from our own. So, also, do the French. The French associate liberty with every phase of institutional life, liberty and religion; liberty and government; liberty and society, and so on. In order to understand the British Tommy it is well to look at the conditions and ancestry from which he sprung. It is necessary to trace the drift of civilization from the Hindu-Koosh mountains westward. Dividing we have one body coming across Europe, subdividing into the Danes and Germans. The southern division passes through Greece, thence to Rome. "The Romans were first to invade "England, bringing with them a spirit of militarism and a knowledge of law and building. The next who came were Anglo- Saxons, who made homes and tilled the soil. Third, came the Danes, who were traders. Then last came the Normans from Northern France, bringing learning and culture, being more cosmopolitan. The English Tommy springs from all these. The British made an effort to establish themselves on the contineint of Europe, the result of which was the Hundred Years' War. At this time Joan of Arc became a prominent factor in hindering this "establishment. "English control, however, has become world-wide and the English Tommy thinks in world units. If you ask an Englishman the price of wheat he takes into consideration Canada, India, Australia, South Africa and Egypt, and not just the price of wheat at a local feed store. There are two types of life that make men; the life on the sea which tends to make men think broadly, and the life on the land, which has made (Continued on page 7.) ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1920 June 25 - Page 2 ---------- 2 THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, JUNE 25, 1920 HOME STORE 1312-14 BAY STREET A.

Sold by STUDENTS'CO-OP C. C. BAUGHMAN, Mgr. STUDENTS' CO-Organizations WEEK-END PARTY June 14, 1920.. Dear Mabel: Nothing has happened around the town lately except our week-end party last week. Here I'll write it to you in regular "Star" style. "All aboard! Is everybody here?" Yes, thank goodness, the last one finally got- on just as Carlisle II. pulled off for Lummi Island. "Come on, let's go up to the front of the boat where we can get all the waves." And thus the seven of us piled down among our bedding, suitcases, hand bags and grub. "Gracious! isn't there any rowboat? Do you mean to say we have to carry all this stuff up over that bluff?" This came from those who had never been over to the Y. W. cottage before. Well, we had to carry our luggage and this was our line of march: Spieseke took the lead with a roll of blankets, hand bag and a box of grub, followed by Frank, who carried a roll of blankets larger than herself. The rest followed with Moffat as the rear guard, to catch all backsliders. Was it hard going up? Well, the coming down was worse. We were all disappointed (?) at not having to sleep on the floor, especially Davies, who had anticipated it with a great deal of pleasure. My, it certainly seemed good to crawl into bed after that terrible hike! All went well until Wilson and Evans started a fight. After a great deal of talking we finally got calmed down again, and all was peace and quiet (?) once more. Time out here. This means time spent in rowing, swimming, sleeping and eating and having a general good time. We ran short of eats the last day and had to flavor (?) our fudge with coal oil. Monday, 4 a. m. "Girls! Wake up! It's time to get the boat! And as a result of such early rising we sat on the pier three hours in the rain. That is, part of them did—some of us walked two miles to Beach to tell the boat to stop at Nooksack cannery for the rest of them. And that trip back! A few of us are going to invest in a ladder before we go away again. Nevertheless "Bun" enjoyed the waves, especially when they splashed over the deck. Anyway, we all got back finally. There, Mabel, is the account of our trip and to say the least, we all had a grand time and only wish you could have been with us. We are going again soon and then maybe you can go, too. Lovingly, NET.I,. TUESDAY NOON BIBLE CLASS The Tuesday Noon Bible Class meets each week in Room 115. The first group of" girls was enthusiastic and adopted plans for a period of helpful interesting study combined with pleasant meetings and recreation out of doors. Some of the Epistles will be studied, beginning with James. The period begins at 12:30 and closes at 1 p. m. Come! THE SAGEBRUSHERS We're the jolly Sagebrush crowd, Of our title we're very proud. We're blithe and cheerful, every one, And we always have the greatest fun, Be it a party, hike, or ride on the lake, We have lovely times and everything's jake. We come from the land of big apples and wheat, Where our cellars are full of good things to eat. The air is pure and the sky is clear, And the sun shines every day in the year. All is prosperity, sunshine and bliss, Tis a pleasure to live in a place like this. So we are happy, every one, That we're from Eastern Washington. —JESSIE O. MOSEI-EY. PHILOS At a recent meeting of the club the following officers were elected for the summer term: Bernice Day, president; Gladys Weir, vice-president; Vernon Broadbent, secretary-treasurer. The first get-together picnic was held at Whatcom Falls park, Friday, June 11. About twenty members of the club, and friends, had a very enjoyable and exciting time. Who will ever forget the losing of the ball in the creek, its discovei-y under the Falls, and Harry Sorenson's heroic dee/1 when he rescued it therefrom? But, alas and alack! when he endeavored to throw it to the anxious throng on the bank, it slipped and fell with a splash into the stream. But wait! Another splash was heard when our brave Sir Roswell Oliver plunged boldly into the rushing current and brought it safely to shore. While the others proceeded to "play ball," our drenched hero was rushed homeward in "Ken" Selby's faithful "Phaurd." So the cry of eats arose and all responded with a rush and everything in sight was devoured ravenously. After supper another game of baseball was indulged in. During the course of the game the ball was thrown past the third baseman and it started for the creek! A wild rush by everyone in sight ensued and soon all were frantically looking for our beloved sphere. vVfter much searching and calling it was found reposing peacefully behind a tree at the top of the bank! The shadows lengthened and soon all were regretfully winding their way homeward. It is not known when or where the next "hike" will be, but we hope that it will be very soon. A. E. BOWSHER. Y. W. C. A. Miss Clippinger gave us a vivid picture of the great student volunteer convention held in Des Moines, from Dec. 31 to Jan. 4. Miss Clippinger was one of the six delegates sent from this school. She reminded us that Bellingham was farther from Des Moines than any other point represented in the United States, and that we had our full quota of delegates there also. This convention was made up of students and ex-students interested in mission work from all parts of the world. There were between 7,000 and 8,000 delegates present, representing forty nations. The motto of this convention was, "The Evangelization of the World in This Generation." Miss Clippinger gave us a vision of what this convention meant to those present. Just think of meeting with this large body of Christian workers, with a motto like the above and with such speakers as John R. Mott and Robert E. Spear, and you will not wonder that the vision, inspiration and power felt there could be carried over to us by one of the delegates. The cabinet is getting well organized and to work. Watch the bulletin boards, listen to the assembly announcements and watch The Messenger for the good things being planned for you by the Y. W. FRASTKIE L. ROE. THESPIAN At the regular meeting Thursday the following officers were elected: President, Carl Irish; vice-president, Pauline Bornstein; secretary, Gladys Jacobs; treasurer, Lorraine Winters. We were very happy to have Mrs. Hoppe with us at our meeting.

And all on a Saturday evening! What bright star may have hung o'er us to cause this escapade of thrills and excitement to be perverted into a tame coincident, which was so nearly a catastrophe, cannot be here said. Can you feature the fright of seventeen girls and one poor gentleman trapped in a coal black tunnel with an on-rushing train at hand? That is calmly stating our situation, when seventeen lively, adventurous, amateur school teachers heard the rumble of the great wheels upon the rails. What a moment of confusion it was! Some running madly for the entrance, others screaming to hug the sides. The train came on, and only one remained on the track, running madly on, when out of the dark came a chorus of wild screams: "Quick, off the track," caused this would-be victim to jump for her life, just a second too soon for the pufing monster! As it floundered through. the thoughts of a wreck surged through my mind. I saw it sway, and almost felt it fall upon us, crushing out our lives! Or there might be long arms reaching forth to grasp us as it passed. Then I seemed to see some one stumble, and the train was upon them. I closed my eyes— what would mother and Dr. Nash say when they learned? Would there be a large funeral? How empty and light my head felt. Maybe I was hit after all. Then a murmur of voices .roused my senses and I knew the terrible thing had gotten out of sight. After counting ourselves over and over again to be sure no one had gotten away we felt relieved to see that the girls had hung heroically to the eats and bathing suits. Though our heads may have felt . empty, it was a known fact that the emptiness was shifting to lower cavities. Next was the beach and a blazing fire on the sand. Surely never before had weinies and marshmallows tasted so "superexpodudious!" All was peaceful when a sudden outburst from a group gathered near the water startled us to our feet! More excitement! Righto! We burst in shrieks of laughter! It surely would have taken a stoic to have suppressed a laugh at the grotesque actions of these pedagogues, as they stood with a ten-foot pole dexterously raking and digging into the water. After some great difficulty they landed their victim which proved to be a big fat crab. In a very few minutes, four more had been fished from the water. The evening sun was setting when we reluctantly turned our steps toward home. From the crest of a hill overlooking the bay we paused but a moment to drink in the beauties of the sky and the still summer evening. The sky was arrayed in tints of blue, crimson and purple rfelected upon the water in a pastel shade of lavender, making one of the glorious sunsets which has never Many students suffer from eye strain because they do not realize how much glasses will help.

The view from Inspiration Point as the twilight shades were deepening, and the valleys beneath were settling behind a dark' shadow, seemed to whisper the close of the day, so we breathed a sad farewell to Chuckanut, with all its waters, beaches and—crabs, to turn our weary feet toward home and thus end the best beach party, Chuckanut has ever known—that of the OREGON CLUB. CAROI.YXE HOWET.I,. GENERAL SCHOOL NEWS The boys of B. S. N. S. are having their first game of baseball, this quarter, on Wednesday, June 23. It is to be a "Twilight game" insuring a comfortable time for the spectator to enjoy the thrilling game. The Booster club held its business meeting on June 10. After the business meeting they adjourned to the Pheasant, where an enjoyable evening was spent. Misses Lulu and Ruby Anderson spent the week-end in Seattle, with their sister, Myrtle Anderson Northrup, a former student here. They are pleased to state they had a very pleasant trip, enjoying the vacation hugely. The class in Mathematics 10 at eleven o'clock seems to have difficulty finding a place for itself under the Normal roof. The room regularly assigned to the class, fo rvarious reasons is very much desired by the students of an athletic class—that settles it—the mathr ematicians go where they can. After a meandering course through several halls and rooms it finished last week in a commercial room on the third floor. In the words of Mr. Bond: "I don't care where we go, even if it is out on the top of Sehome Hill, if we get through our work." That's the spirit exactly. The class is with Mr. Bond even to the hilltops to accomplish our purpose. CECIL L. GRAHAM. The swimming classes at the Y. W. C. A. are well attended. Everyone seems to be enjoying the work very much. The attendance at the summer session is increasing daily. Many of the classes are closed but arrangements are being made to accommodate every one. Mary King spent the week-end at her home at Friday Harbor. Miss Marybelle Baker, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Thomason hiked to Lake Pad-den Sunday and enjoyed the day in the out-of-doors. They returned in the evening with lighter hearts, as well as lighter lunch baskets. Table number six at the dormitory holds one of the liveliest group of young people who have the honor of dining here. They are in the second call for meals. For initiative, brains, looks, cheerfulness and pep they have no peers. Wednesday, June 16, being such a fine sunny day, they decided to have supper out in the open. A meeting was held and ways and means were discussed for holding the supper. The result was that at five o'clock after permission was secured, the ten rambled up Sunset Trail for the hill overlooking the bay. A camp fire was "built, marshmallows and weinies were roasted, and some good old-fashioned coffee made by one who is an expert. Sandwiches, fruit salad and a number of other choice foods were had which all enjoyed immensely. A general good time was had, stories were told and songs were sung.

Helen Hogan "That that is is that that is not is not is not that it." There can be no more fitting example than this little quotation, of the confusion that may be caused without proper organization. In the first place we have no conception of the truth that is to be imparted, or the aim to be accomplished. One may have a message for the world, but unless he imparts it in a systematic definite way, the world will be no better off than before, and all his energy counts for naught. Understanding and being understood are two separate processes. One may spend a life time working for some great truth, it having been discovered, he may pass on, and because of his lack of self-expression, will leave the world no better than he found it. Oh! useless the life of those who live within themselves. There is joy in receiving the wealth of the knowledge of the ages, but the greater joy is giving to others and helping them to understand the world in which they live. It should not be our policy to let our fellow-men stumble over the same steps that we have, but to shorten the way and minimum the difficulties. Let him realize our accomplishment with the least resistance, so he may center his efforts on a different task. Then, we as earthly beings, should help our fellows, even if it be nothing more than inserting a comma. Did you ever stop to think of the time that is wasted in every class room, during every recitation, every day of every year, simply because in every school there are a group of students who can not or will not follow directions? Do you realize that one of the most important factors in the making of a successful man or woman is the ability to follow directions ? If every student in this school would take it upon himself to listen carefully when directions are given and then to follow them, both the teacher and the students would be saved a great amount of embarrassment and countless minutes would be saved to put on some other more important work. Get directions when they are given and then follow them. PAUL W. PINCKXEY. The national game is having a very difficult time getting under way at Normal this summer. Even the weather has made a bold attempt to defeat any plans that are laid. We hope, though, even with many obstacles to be overcome, to put on some real games in the near future. C. L. GBAIIAM. OUR PICTURES Since we have heard Dr. Curry's lecture^ on Art, we are looking on our own pictures with more appreciative eyes. Our institution has some very fine copies of the really good pictures, but it takes "the eye that sees" to realize this. Whether we take the "Aurora" which faces us each time we ascend the main stairway to the library, or Corot's great landseaj gt;e masterpieces at the main enr-trance, or even "The Coming of the White Man" in the training school hall, each picture in the building holds a lesson for us, if we only will stop to consider what it is.

CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT Our Normal School campus could be greatly improved by flowers. We have trees of nearly every description, and vines, but very few flowers. Hedges of roses along the front or rows of bushes along the walks would be a great improvement in the general appearance of the campus. They are not hard to care for and all the other Coast schools have such an abundance of them, I wonder why we haven't any? D. MCCAULEY. "Bellingham," said a newcomer, "is the dingiest town I ever saw and has the most beautiful sunsets I ever beheld and harbors the loveliest people I ever met." WHY AM I GOING TO NORMAL? Am I going to Normal to see and to be seen, to see if I can get more powder and paint on my face than Edith has on her face, to see if I can wear a thinner waist than Mary wears, to see if I can wear a smaller shoe with a higher heel than Dorothy wears, to see if I can put more curls in my hair than J u l i a has in her hair, t o gad around, att r a c t attention and accomplish nothing; or am I going to Normal to hear and to hold to that which is good and be the girl that my mother has wished and prayed that I might be? E. K. MISS BEASLEY LEAVES ON TRIP TO JAPAN Miss Beasley, a supervisor in the Training School, left Tuesday night, June 22, for Vancouver, B. C, from where she sailed Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock, on the Empress of Japan, for Japan, and expects to arrive in that country about the 4th of July. Miss Beasley has letters of introduction to many interesting people. Professor Starr, of the University of Chicago, has put her in touch with a professor at Higher Normal School at To-kio, Japan. Dr. Butler, also of the University of Chicago, has given her a letter introducing her to his wife's aunt, Mrs. Fisher, of Yokohama, Japan. Mrs. Waldo has a son, who is a Bellingham boy, at Akita, Kobe, with whom Miss Beasley hopes to get in touch. Dr. Nash also has given her a letter of introduction. While in the Orient Miss Beasley hopes to get a little idea of the people, their customs, manners of living, problems, etc. She expects to be gone two months. Miss King, of Grays Harbor, is to take up Miss Beasley's work. DID YOU KNOW That the Messenger is run by the Students of the Bellingham Normal?

Most of them stayed out only a week or so. The following men received W.s for baseball this year: R. C. Macpherson, catcher; Elder, Prevost and Stickney, pitchers; Davis, Sangster, Yorkston, Bartrtiff, :infield-e r s ; Culver, Karlson and Freeman, outfielders. The t r i p to Mount Vernon and defeat by the high school team there brought out several things. We needed practice, our pitchers were green, we needed reorganization. Macpherson was brought in from the outfield and put behind the bat, where he stayed the rest of the season. The infield shifted, Sangster going to second and we started again. Bloedel-Donovan was played on Tuesday, Normal this time came through and beat them, 6-5. About a week later we again faced Mount Vernon. Elder, who worked against them, pitched like a veteran, but he had one bad inning and we lost, 9-7. Sangster, our handsome second baseman, Capt. Karlson and Macpherson, our catcher, were a trio that brought fear to the hearts of the pitchers they faced. Bartruff on third won a name for himself as a player both in the field and at bat, cutting down many sure hits and getting hits in a pinch. MOUNT VERNON 15-NomrAT. 5 The team didn't have the fighting spirit they showed in later games. Some promising material was discovered, some disappoinment known. The team showed lack of practice. BI.OEDEI-DONOVAN 5-NoRarAT. 6 The t r u e spirit showed here. We went after them, pulled out of a hole in the last inning and beat them. Macpherson's home run cleans the bags.. FAIRIIAVEN 0-NORMAL 8 Normal batting practice. Hits were many but wild base running prevented a larger score. Stickney, who had just returned to school, showed excellent form in the box. NORMAL 10-WHATCOM 6. The proud crimson was dragged in the dust again. They had the game all but won until the seventh, when our batters put across enough to win and humble them. NoilMAT. 5-BuRT,INGT0N 4 We were at them from the start, scoring first and holding the lead till the end of the game. Prevost, our pitcher, had them eating out of his hand. The only accident of the season happened when Freeman sprained his ankle sliding to second. NOKIUAT, 17-LAUREL 7 Our batters collected 21 hits and fattened their averages consider ably. Macpherson's hitting featured, getting six out of six times at bat. The team showed their earlier failures due to lack of practice and had improved 1000 per cent. NORMAL 3-WITATCOM 4 The best game of the year: Whatcom came up in the ninth with the score 3-3. A couple of hits and they had the winning run over. A. fan commenting on the game, said: "The best ball game I've seen this year. Either team would clean up the Twilight league if they played like they did today." Stickney had lots of stuff on the ball but a slip at a critical time lost the game for him. IbV" niTTTTTTTJ Faculty Notes Miss Fridenberger was • a dinner guest at the Phillip! home Sunday evening.

Lenora Thomas is to assist the Dean of Women, Miss Woodard, during the summer term. The Faculty enjoyed a very delightful picnic Wednesday, June 15, at Dr. .Miller's residence. TOLERANCE The easiest thing in the world is to criticize. And we all appreciate the value of constructive criticism. But I wonder if Ave do not all need a little more tolerance in our judgment of others. I t is so fatally easy to say, "Why does she wear those absurd crepe waists?

Regular inspection was carried on during Mr. Harrison's recent visit. He expects to come again soon and the duty will be again performed, we hope to the satisfaction of all concerned and the matter will be dropped. We wonder what Macpherson was looking in the window of the prominent Holly street jewelry store for? What they all do it for? We kind of suspected it all along, but were kind of glad you let us know. Congratulations, old man. When is it coming off? Are we going to get an invite? You sure got one fine girl, anyway, and we envy you. Harry Bartruff has finished the "census" and will be again on hand in Bellingham during the week-ends. His time has been taken up very much lately by such an "ardous" task.

We must remember .that it took three hundred years to establish the rights of the Magna Charta. Our exercise of free religion is based on centuries of struggle for-the same. The evolution of freedom is old. "Personally, I found the English Tommy quiet and respectful. Very unlike the Yank in many ways. For instance, if one of them came into a "Y'.' hut he knew exactly what he wanted, got it, gave the change for it, then passed on with a respectful 'Thank you, sir.' Not so the American. He would look things over and take 'some of that,' pay for it and get his change. Then decide he wanted 'some of this,' etc., and perhaps have you make change for him two or three times. On leaving he might call out, 'S'long, old man.' "However, if the Yanks were ordered at 1 a. m. to be at a certain place by 11 a. m. they would probably be there by 8:30 or' 9 o'clock, wondering what next. The Tommy takes more time thinking it alright to fall in there about 2 p. m. However, I found them excellent friends and always willing to do what thev could for us." when we are. well rid of them.

"He that'loveth silver shall not be satisfied; nor he that loveth abundance of increase; this is also vanity." With more money, less food, less clothing, more perplexities, where the gain? Let us'all forget about the money and try to -work for the good we are doing and not the salary we get. Let us try to produce food, clothing and real comforts of life, so that we may dwell in a land of plenty and comfort. ' No better than stones are gold and silver for a man who can get no food. E.

HIKERS' CLUB Saturday morning at 7:30, thirty-two members of the Hikers' club started on a hike to Lake Samish. We arrived at the Lake about 11 o'clock. The time from then till 4 p. m. was spent fishing, boating, swimming and most important of all, eating. At 4 p. m. we started home and arrived in groups from 5:30 till 7 p. m. Everyone declared that he had the best time imaginable and everyone is anxious for another hike. Everyone interested in hiking should join the club and prepare for a good time.

After much hustling and scurrying for street cars the girls loaded on the eats and all Avere aboard for the lake but Mr. Coughlin, who had been wildly chasing down a can opener, and suddenly appeared, triumphantly, with one in each pocket, only to find that the committee was well armed with said article. At Lake Whatcom they boarded the launch Marguerite, and rode to the head of the lake and back to Eidlewilde. The camp fire was built and the usual preparations for eats began in good earnest. After a hearty campers' chow, the party took a short stroll and explored the lake shore. The trip home was wonderful in the moonlight and judging from the songs and laughter everybody was having a good time. Several other excursions, are to be taken later in the summer by the club. "Dear Dad," he wrote, "I'm here in France, And sharing in each Yanks' advance. We're driving back the. filthy Hun, The Heinies, now are on the run, And I am well and strong tonight, Except for little things that bite." "Do you recall those happy days We sat before the log fire's blaze Within our little parlor snug, And heard the clock tick on the shelf, Except when Shep would scratch himself?" "And there were times with sudden zip, He'd bite himself upon the hip, Then turn his head in manner queer, To scratch himself behind the ear, Then like the whirling of a gale, Get up-and madly chase his tail." "Well, Dad, I do not want to brag, But since in France I served the Flag, I'll say, in running down a cootie Shep never had a thing on me; In fact, I think I've learned to do Some twists our old dog never knew." "We used to scold and put him out; We would not let him stay about, When he began to thump the floor. But, oh, when I get home once more, I'll let Shep scratch the evening thru Because, you see, I've had them, too." The Northwestern National Bank Bellingham, Wash. WE SOLICIT THE NORMAL ACCOUNTS MONEY! MONEY!! MONEY.!!! Is the world money mad? It at times seems that way. The first question in any proposed venture today almost invariably is, how much money is there in it? We have even heard of ministers laying aside their frock coats for overalls to go to work in factories, because they could make a few hundred dollars per year more. Teachers are leaving our schools and colleges because of better wages elsewhere. If they are only working for the money we may be glad I wish I were a tiny mouse If only for a day. I'd sneak up to a school house, then, And watch the children play. I'd watch the mail man come and go, And notice teacher's face. I'd try to get right close to her, And watch the lines she'd trace. And as she read the letters thru, From different friends, you see, I'd be all eyes and ears, you know, As she read the one from me. I'd learn the one she liked the best, Of all the letters sent; And if she dreamed at all of him— And what the dreaming meant. If little mice can tell big men Just what they'd like to know, I don't see why I can't be one And to the school house go. A Normal Student.

W. W. trial at Montesano was cross-examining a witness. "And you say, sir, that you were shifting your gears and steering your car out of danger, at the same time counting the bullets that flew around you? Impossible, sir; impossible !" "Maybe you don't know," ventured the witness, "that my car is a Ford." The attorney was silenced by the laughter that followed. Student (writing an English lesson): "Read this joke. Is it all right, do you think?" After she had read it, she asked: "What is it supposed to be, did you say?" If you were going to write a letter and tell some one that you can spell "to, too and two," how would you spell the plural of these words with the correct meaning? A student was timidly standing beside Miss Earhart waiting for her to speak, when she suddenly turned in her chair and said, "Well, why don't you say something?" "The girl who shines brightest in society," remarks an Observer of Events and Things, "doesn't always brighten up her home." THESE "CENSUS" Mixurs Harry Bart ruff (to Indian woman who can neither read or write): "How many children in the family?" Gives book to Harry to copy. Harry after- writing about ten names: "Say, there's a bunch of them." Indian Woman: "No, you got some of the dead ones." Student (in Agriculture): "You always look twice when you see a black sheep." Mr. Coughlin: "Yes, you ought to." LONG DISTANCE Mr, Tarzan Jones was sitting down to breakfast one morning when he was astounded to see in the paper an announcement of his own death. He rang up Friend Smith at once. "Hello, Smith!" he said. "Have you seen the announcement of my death in the paper?" "Yes," repliad Smith. "Where are you speaking from?". Teacher: "Children what is the meaning of the line, 'The shades of night were falling fast?' " Johnny: "It means, teacher, that they were pulling down the window shades." If anyone would like to know the best way of mailing letters on the 2:15 a. m. train, they should consult Mr. Mac-pherson. A Jew had decided to buy his son a bicycle as a present on his tenth birthday. The father upon pricing a wheel found it would cost him $40. This would never do, so true to his race he priced a tricycle. This he found to be $20. The father thought that this was also too much to spend on his son. The father still clung to his racial instincts and announced that evening at the supper table that he would buy his son neither a bicycle nor a tricycle, but would wait until winter, and get him an icicle, which would cost nothing. CAN You BEAT IT? A woman endowed with good understanding and who possessed a fund of courage was eagerly waiting for the cake to be brought to the table, where she and her friends were dining. When it was brought, she asked the permission of her friends as to where it should be cut. "Any where you wish," was the spontaneous answer. Thereupon summoning a servant she gave it to him, telling him to take it to her house. Then she said, "With your permission I will cut it at home."
