XX BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 1921 NO. 40 E Dr. Sears, who is conducting classes here in education is an instructor of scholarship and experience, and possesses a most pleasing personality. Students should consider it a privilege to attend his classes even for the remaining short three weeks. Dr. Sears received his degree from Columbia University and has been an instructor in Stanford University for nine years. For the past year, having had a statical leave of absence from Stanford, he has been giving lectures at the University of Minnesota from which institution he has come to Bellingham Normal. Next month he will return to Stanford and resume former work. Besides' his work as a college instructor, Dr. Sears has pursued a number of special studies. He participated in the Salt Lake survey and was director of the survey at Boise, Idaho. On this work he wrote a book of some 300 pages entitled "Boise Survey." Among his other written works is his book on " Classroom Organization and Control," and numerous magazine articles. A book dealing with school administration is now in progress. Asked his impressions of the Bellingham Normal, Dr. Sears replied with the genial sincerity that characterizes him: " You may say that I am not only favorably impressed with the Normal plant and with the surroundingings, and climate of the region, but that I have also been very favorably impressed with the Institution . and with the student body. " It speaks well not only for the Normal School, but for the state, that so intelligent a group of students should be attracted to the summer session here." B.S.N.S "AS YOU LIKE IT" TO BE Are you a good student? How do you measure up to these tests, offered by Miss Cummins? " The first characteristic of a good student," she says, "is an attitude of inquiry — the desire to see all sides of a question. "Every .normal student should have some concrete aim toward which to work. Especially in the case of the upper grade teacher should there be some special line of work around which elective courses and outside reading should center. " The good student will so organize his work as to provide that assigned tasks be completed promptly on the date set. " No one worthy of the name of teacher or citizen will permit himself to remain ignorant of current happenings. Pedagogical magazines, those pertaining to special subjects, current event digests and the daily newspaper should be scanned regularly and with purpose. " When entering the library the stur dent should be prepared to use its tools (Continued on page 6.) Of all out-of-doors presentations of Shakespeare, "As You Like I t " is perhaps most charming. " Midsummer Night's Dream" rivals it in delicacy of fancy but the former comedy is more redolent of woodland scents and more sparkling with the vivacity and freshness of young romance. It is doubtful if the genius of the great bard of Avon ever expressed itself in kindlier and merrier fashion than in the Arcadian scenes of "As You Like It." Here comes the banished Duke and his followers to find " sermons in stones, books in the running brooks and good in everything." To this wildwood come also Rosalind, Orlando and Celia to meet in merry quiet and rougish misunderstanding, in high romance and tender sentiment as . this delightful play of young hearts and light spirits proceeds. Here, too, Touchstone gambols and gibes and finally meets his fate in the rural Audrey, whom he would the gods had made poetical, but to whom he swears fealty as a poor thing but his own. Here in the green woods the melancholy James philosophizes and discovers that " all the world's a stage and all the men and women merely j gt;layers." Fleeing from the bitter hatred of the elder brother hither comes the youthful old Adam, who so sweetly exemplifies the quality of fidelity and teaches us how to grow into a lusty old age " frosty but kindly." " Sweet are the uses of adversity," declares the banished -Duke and " Blow, blow thou winter wind, thou art not so unkind • as benefits forgot," sings Amiens. Thus does this great old play give" to us anew the cleansing arid healthful breath of nature and so, too, may we gain by its genial and wholesome gaiety. The Community Players are to present the play on Wednesday, August 17th on the northwesterly slope of the knoll, with the massed greenery of the right and left portions of the stage and the charming center entrance down the slope upon the greensward, the out-door location is ideal. The play, is to be .correctly costumed in all details. There will - be two important contributions by the Department of Physical Education. Under the direction of Miss Moffat two groups of students will present a classical interpretive dance and a typical old English Morris dance. Mr. Paul Thompson and Miss Amanda Nesson will present the beautiful woodland songs of the play. Altogether a careful, artistic and interesting performance is promised for next week. " Who doth ambition shun and loves to live i' the sun, come hither." B.S.N.S. Two hundred and ten students of B. S. N. S. took teachers' examinations Thursday and Friday of last week. Many left after the examinations. ' The absence of these people has been very noticeable in the class rooms and assembly. B.S.N.S. • Mr. Hunt (in history class) : " What about it, class, is that statement true? " Everybody: "Yes, yes!" Mr. Hunt: " Look out, now." Class (in unison) : " No, no! " WHAT WE LIKE BEST ABOUT THE H A L " What is the feature you like best about this Normal School? " is the question often put to us, to answer like a rule. If the quizzer is a citizen of this delightful city, we start in with the climate, and repeat the oft-told ditty: We praise the parks and flowers; the homes where we reside; we mention asphalt boulevards, whereon our autos glide; we laud its ruddy sunsets, its woodsy trails we cite, as being motives for return, which fill us with delight; we wonder if, in all the world, another spot could be where mountains high re-echo the booming of the sea. We say these are the reasons why students by the score flock back to join the Normal ranks and learn a little more; for we come in goodly numbers, from- every western state; in case you're puzzled why you're here, some answers we'll relate. We grant the town is beautiful, its homes are fair to see; those gorgeous, golden sunsets are free to you and me; the sylvan trails are wonderful; the silvered, moonlit bay brings dreams of future hopes and fears when we'll be far away. But say, there are days of stress and gloom; it rains, and clouds hang low; when al lthe world seems dull and gray, and scenery don't go. Somehow we need a guiding hand, a smile of friendly cheer; even the stern word of rebuke for our faults our doubts, our tears. Now, sweep the cobwebs from your brain, and clear your thoughts for action, and you'll find there is no mystery about the chief attractions. No red brick building in this world extends such welcome dear; what campus holds the many groups of friends to us so near; where could we go to learn as much in one short summer Normal; could parties ever be such fun, or strangers more informal ; have you ever stopped" to wonder if a more helpful trio could be than the smiling, willing workers in our Normal library? Where else would fifty instructors give up vacation joys to teach twelve hundred students with all their faults and noise; where, oh, where could all these things, taken collectively, be realized more fully, than in — " The Normal by the Sea?" — Anon. B.S.N.S. WHERE SOME OF US WILL TEACH NEXT YEAR Dr. Henry K. Warren, who for twenty- six years has been president of Yankton College, the largest institution of higher learning in South Dakota, was a. recent visitor of Dr. Nash. Dr. Nash graduated from Yankton College and worked there with Dr. Warren for some years. Dr. Warren addressed assembly Monday morning. His subject was '• Our Puritan Ancestors." After reviewing the early history of religious persecution against which the Puritans contended in the old world, and their hazardous journey to the new, the speaker called attention "to the fact that the Puritans organized the first democratic government, the principles of which became the foundation principles of our nation. Dr. Warren sounded a warning that we present-day Americans do not lose in our civic life that indominable courage of the Puritan spirit which stands for an insistance on the working- out of the highest ideals of democracy. He deplored the fact that the sporting interests, in their efforts to defeat the so-called blue laws, should resort to caricature of those who gave us national ideals. In doing this they have but honored the Puritans and shamed themselves, for only those who do great deeds are ridiculed 300 years after their departure. "Prophets are always stoned." An appeal to launch our Mayflower and steer boldly into untried seas if we would be true Americans ended a most splendid address. B. S. N. S.

And yet there are some who belong to the old school that is afraid .of " spoiling. the child." All who go to school are not equally .brilliant. Some find theiir work extremely difficult, and while they put forth their best efforts, there are many times when a little explanation of doubtful points would be of invaluable assistance. • It seems unfair to assume that every •time a question is asked, the one who asks it is doing so merely to take up the .teacher's time,- and when the teacher gives a curt, sharp reply that cuts like a lash, is it strange if many refrain from asking for needed help? A large number prefer to receive a lower grade rather than to • take the risk of receiving a reply that hurts for days afterward. Sarcasm is a powerful tool.. It cuts like a two-edged sword, and serves to alienate, where a kindly answer inspires to greater effort. When we go out to teach, let us bear this in mind and avoid making a mistake for which we may have to pay dearly. — B.S.N. S. How many of us get in a hurry and cut across the campus or over the knoll? By watching students come in the morning we would say that most of us do. How much time is saved? Probably a fraction of a minute. Is it worth the cost? Does that fraction of a minute saved aid us so greatly that we are justified in writing our selfishness or thoughtlessness upon the beautiful green carpet? Surely after such a pleasing compliment as Dr. Sears gave us in Monday morning's assembly, we ought to be proud enough of our campus to keep it always looking green and smooth and not spoiled by ugly brown paths cut hit and miss wherever we happen to choose to walk. When we came we did not find it cut by paths. The students who were here before us exercised enough self-control to stay on the walks. I'll guarantee they were just as busy as we are and they, went away with just as much knowledge and pleasant-memories as we have. So let us show our school spirit hereafter, and hold a person in disrepute who takes the short cuts. Let us make an unwi'itten law that we shall not cut corners, and each one "a self-appointed officer of that law, at least in so far as we ourselves are" concerned. B. S. N. S. When the Seniors carry away their coveted diplomas they will carry away, also, the memory of a fine example of that patience "that suffereth long and is silent." How any human being can sit throughout a long hot day facing an MAXINE SHOES FOR WOMEN WHITE HOUSE SHOES FOR MEN BUSTER BROWN SHOES FOR BOYS AND GIRLS Buster Brown Shoe Store Fitters of Feet Anderson's Specialty Shop CORRECT APPAREL FOR WOMEN 217 EAST HOLLY STREET interminable line of tired, irritated people eadh armed with a set of involved problems, demanding instant solution, and still remain cool and unruffled is a problem for philosophers. Surely "Jit's too much" for Normal Seniors, wise as they are. They have a sort of vague theory that perhaps programming officers are made of different clay. Be that as it may, they marvel much at the fortitude, patience and personal interest that Mr. Beyer always displays and they gratefully acknowledge their debt j gt;f gratitude.

Those present besides Dr. Nash and Dr. Miller were Dr. Sears, Miss Keeler, Mr. Kibbe, Mr. Kolstad and Superintendents Wiedman and Goss. - B . S . N . S . " I am going to talk shop," said Dr". Sears, who spoke in assembly Wednesday morning. Then followed an interesting discussion on Education, in which Dr. Sears stated that for many years he had been trying to explain to an incredulous public y'ust what the study of education is. *'" So long as the world thinks education is only a theory or something that doesn't count, it is a fact which the teacher must meet," he said. "Our only -answer to the public must be in terms of hard facts." Other items of importance gleaned from the discussion were that education may be thought of in terms of the institution or of the child. In late education the child's interests have been studied and no progressive teacher or superintendent will hold a child back in all subjects, because he may be deficient in one. Since to schools has been assigned the duty of producing the doers and thinkers of the world, education must be put on a fact basis. The teacher of today cannot depend on theory, but must know how to teach. B.S.N.S. • DEBTS How often have we pointed the finger of scorn at the shirker who excuses his evasion of responsibilities by saying, " Oh, well! the world owes me a living." He has a job, perhaps, but he does as little work as it is possible to do without being dismissed. : When there is a call for volunteers to do extra work, he is ostentatiously silent. His attitude is that the boss has managed poorly or there would be no extra work. He is usually a fault finder, an excuse maker, :a self-indulger. He lets someone else ]bear the burdens — and reap the honors ;—while he merely "gets by." The D o e s the printed p a g e blur before you? Does your h e a d ache before the day ends?

We neither admire nor respect this drone when we meet him in the business world, yet we fail to condemn his counterpart in the school world. He is the student who disclaims all responsibility for the upbuilding of his school. "The state owes me an education," he says. "After me, the deluge," is his slogan. Hs skims his assignment hastily, and his frequent answer is " Unprepared." His sole desire is to pass. He never follows up the teacher's suggestions or recommendations forself improvement. The only phrase that wins his entire attention is " Required for graduation." He never offers his services for the hard work in the outside activities. He gives the assemblies a passive support at best, and is the first to create a disturbance if the program is not to his liking. Other students shoulder the responsibilities and are benefited by so doing. He merely graduates. The state owes him an education; but what does he owe the state? B. S. N. S.

B.S.N.S. DR. TRUEBLOOD'S LECTURE Dr. Trueblood, head of the department of public speaking of the University of Michigan and engaged in the work of that department since' 1886, gave a splendid lecture on the "Art of Public Speaking" in assembly Friday. He laid great emphasis on the directness of speaking and stated that it was the most vital point in all the methods of public speaking. He provided this to all those that heard his interesting lee-, ture, as his own manner and tone were oft he easy conversational type. Among the great orators of the present day that use this method are William J. Bryan and Bishop Hughes, the latter was a former pupil of Dr. True-blood's. He emphasized the importance of work on debate by showing that prom- White Stitched Hats $5.50 and $7.50 Apparel of Quality FOR TEN YEARS.

William Jennings Bryan and Jane Addams debated against each other in college, and Jane Addams was the winner. In closing his address Dr. Trueblood made a plea to all teachers to aid in trying to establish correct speaking English over all the world. Dr. Trueblood read "Ingomar, the Barbarian," by the Austrian author Holbe Thursday evening. In his reading "Ingomar the Barbarian" Dr. Trueblood brought out the romance of the drama very clearly and markedly. From the beginning intense interest was sustained. The most noticeable feature of Dr. Trueblood's delivery is his simplicity and sincerity. B.S.N.S. Not wealth, but the ability to meet difficult conditions, is the measure of man. Every unselfish act is turning the searchlight into some dark corner. When a wind storm sweeps the forest it is the weazened trees, those with rotten hearts, that fall first.

The fear of the examination may keep a student who is otherwise mentally asleep, somewhat alert for " points " to be remembered; he slides along for the first ten weeks, keeping up attendance at classes' but receiving nothing from his. text, his classmates or his teacher. Finally the last two weeks stares him in the fact with failure or condition evident. Then he frantically and feverishly burns the candle at both ends, trying to catch up in a' subject in which he never started. He crams, and passes — " passes " is the proper word, for it indicates that the student has at least one faculty, almost abnormal, however, the ability to dodge successfully the real purpose of all study; the development of his mental processes by systematic concentration. We will agree with our excellent instructors when they say that it does require a peculiar sort of " genius " to accomplish this cramming process. It has been proven time and again that this " loading up for examination" is harmless, so cram on. Your mental calibre will not be visably affected, for the efforts you put forth at the end leave no trace upon the brain. Aside from loss of sleep, physical exhaustion and that coveted grade your head will be as empty as ever. B.S.N.S. THE PROJECT PLAN THINGS GOOD TO EAT — at — NORMAL BAKERY AND DELICATESSEN 623 HIGH STREET The project plan is one that has been worked out and used successfully in this summer's term of the training school. One phase of this plan is being used in the teaching of arithmetic in the intermediate grades. One day of the week is a project lesson, and the class is taken to a basement room which is arranged like a store. The shelves have been made by the children from boxes, and on these are arranged goods in cans and packages. One child is the storekeeper, and all of the others are customers. Each has a certain amount of play money given to him, and with this he must purchase something at the store. Each child works out every problem. If the change counted out by the storekeeper is not correct he loses his position. At the end of the game the problems are corrected. This has been found a valuable plan in stimulating interest in the work.

ELECIED PRESIDENT OF OTHER OFFICERS ARE ELECTED FOR SEMESTER The meeting for the election of Senior class officers was held last Wednesday morning at the .scheduled hour, with Mrs. Edna Anstett acting as chairman The constitution and by-laws were presented by Marian Collier, and voted upon by the class. Resignations of nominees, having been presented for the offices of President and Secretary, made it necessary for an informal ballot to' l gt;e. cast. The following officers were then elected by majority vote: President—Donna Klinckcr. Vice President—Pearl Stroughton. Secretary—Ralph Miller. Reporter—Margaret Spaight. A very poor record of attendance was shown. Considering the number of Seniors enrolled, a greater active interest should be displayed toward class affairs: It may be emphasized that the boys aren't so scarce that they need all be excused from attendance. If you are a Senior, pull for your class. Don't let the other feiiow do it. Co-operate, and by so doing, help both yourself and the class of which you are M'COMAS ELECIED PRESIDENT OF 1HE a. member. BIG MIXER TO BE HELD ON NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT The Juniors have started Liu year auspiciously by electing a splendid corps of officers for this first seni lt;ester. Sian-ley McComas heads the list for president; Blanche Davey was chosen vice president; Katherine Meyers will tike charge of the work of secretary, while Ff.hel Ashley will serve as treasurer. With these efficient officers the Juniors are starting off with a vim, by announcing a mixer for Saturday night. Proceeding the election of officers, a lively and entertaining program was on-joyed: Songs l gt;v Junior Trio Ethel Ashley, Helen Gadc, Veda Morfat Reading, "At Dancing School" Robert Caulkins Song "Everybody Calls Me Honey".... Mildred Byies B. S. N. S. The Y. W. C. A. was very fortunate Thursday in having Dr. Louis Sperry Chafer give one of his inspiring Bible talks. Dr. Chafer took for his theme the three classes of man: The Natural, Spiritual and Incarnate. Under one of these classes everyone has his place. He emphasized that to attain one's greatest ideal one should belong to the spiritual. All derived great benefit from this spiritual talk. EXCITING GAME BIG GAME SET FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON In a short practice game with Fair-haven high school last Tuesday, the Normal team easily defeated the South Side lads 34 to 0. Handicapped by a loss of several men and by a lack of a heavy line, the South Siders had no chance to score, altho several times they threatened the Normal goal. The game • altho of but half, regular length, was slow, clue to the fact that the Normal punched many holes in the South Siders' line. However, tomorrow will do much to show standard of Sam Carver's team Tomorrow, Saturday. Oct. 15, our team will lock horns with Sedro-Woollev and inasmuch as (hey have an exceptionally good team, the results probably will be very different. Sedro-Woolley lias practically an old team, one that has played together for two years and probably will play an open game, passes and many end runs. They easily handled Blaine, who in turn beat Whatcom, and altho Woolley had several men mutilated temporarily, they are on their feet again with a fighting team. If the Normal wins, it will be by no lopsided score. Paul Rairdon, who has been playing tackle, has been sick and it is doubtful whether or not he will play at Woolley. Ga as land and Fisher, halves, are both somewhat crippled. Quinn, with a "bum" hand, and "Gazzy" with a, bad "Charley horse" in the muscles of his leg.

These are the bel! signals in case of fire: 1 bell will ring for drill; 2 bells will mean tbe location of the. fire is in the Science Annex; -i bells, in the Main building; 4 bells, in the Training School; and 2 long bells will signal time for return to the building. Everyone take, heed to these signals. At this assembly Mr. Thompson again favored us with a selection entitled: "'America the Beautiful." WEDNESDAY-Oct. 12. After a lew important announcements by Dr. Nash, we were given the opportunity of hearing Mr. Harrison, of Seattle, sing. Mr. Harrison possesses a right, high base voice, and iiis selections were especially pleasing.

All of these will be a source of much interest and benefit. The Music club has an orchestra of five violins and a piano. This ambitious orchestra will help regularly with ' the Wednesday Assembly programs in the Training School, and seive at other times when called upon. The Junior High School students enjoyed very much hearing Mr. Thompson give John Drinkwaler's "Abraham Lincoln," and Longfellow's Hiawatha. The Columbus Dav program was held the 12th of October, in the main Assembly hall. Over thirty slides were shown, depicting scenes in the life of Columbus. Talks were given by different pupils as slides were shown.' Orchestra selections concluded the program. The 7A Science class went on a field trip Monday afternoon. The SB Arithmetic class has opened a bank. Different members of the class represent the various business concerns, such as. a grocery store, a dry goods store, a lumber mill, and others. One is a cattle dealer, one a farmer, one a real estate dealer, and one an automobile agent. There is a great deal of rivalry among the different concerns to secure business. The real estate dealer IIMS opened a new addition on the hill south of the Normal and is selling lots at the fabulously low price of $1,000 a lot. 'Pupils are learning to fill out deposit slips, make checks, borrow money and other necessary details. A visit to a local bank proved very instructive. Some very creditable and artistic posters may be seen on the walls in the lower halls, made by the primary grades. They are worthy of inspection. The primary classes also are preparing the bulbs for planting. They put them away in the dark and will bring them out in time for Christmas blossoming.

AVe feel this little poem of his, " I n After Days*' not only beautiful in itself, but inspired by an ideal we all appreciate. IN AFTER DAYS. In after days when grasses high O'er top the stones where I shall lie. Though ill or well the world adjust My slender claim to honored dust, I shall not question or reply. I shall not see the morning sky; I shall not hear the night-wind sigh; I shall be mute, as all men must In after days. 8 But yet. now living, fain would I That some one then should testify, Raying—"Tie bold his pen in trust To Art, not serving shame, .or lust." Will none? Then let memory die. In after days. —Austin Dobson. B. S. N. S. INCENTIVE FOR STUDENTS. Edward A. Thompson! Iiis name is an incentive to greater achievement! Indeed the story of Mr. Thompson's life is very inspirational, for he has risen so far above his affliction 1hat he is known as one of the foremost platform speakers of America. Mr. Thompson lost his eyesight shortly after his college days were over. At the time when this great misfortune overtook him, Mr. Thompson was studying to be a singer, but finding his inability to read notes a serious handicap to his success in the realm of music, he began the study of reading. Our hope, of distinction and success is born anew by meditating on the record of this marvelous man. "Lives of great men, all remind us, We can make our lives sublime." How many of us only put.forth a mediocre effort and are content with the development of perhaps 40% of our inherent possibilities. Even in normals and universities the. percentage of students who carry subjects primarily for credit and are satisfied with barely passing grades is appallingly large. Surely the ideals and s'andards of attainment of this class of students are not very high. Their idea evidently is to just "get b y . " Of course, we must, have a certain number of credits to be Juniors and Seniors and lo graduate, but should not our primary aim be self-development to the fullest possible extent and should not our studies serve as a means in attaining this worthy end? If self-development is our aim we shall not confine our study of mathematics, for instance, to the text book but shall delve, if time permits, into all phases of mathematics as a subject. Again, we shall not study primarily for diplomas, but to become strong teachers. First, seek self-development, and secondly, credits and grades. PEP Are you school spirited ? Is our student body, as a whole, school spirited ? The school spirit of any school is only the composite of the school spirit displayed by each indivchial student. Don't forget that " a chain is no stronger than i t ' s weakest link." What are you doing to the school spirit of Bellingham Normal? x\re you making it finer and stronger or you weakening the Normals' school spirit? There is only room in Bellingham Normal for students who are school spirited—who have 'pep' and. lots of it. Be that kind of a student! Put your school first and leave Bellingham feeling that the Normal is just a little better because of your influence and the support you accorded student activities while here. This season the Normal has a football team for the first time in years, o you thoroughly appreciate this fact? If you do you will come out and root for the team at the game Saturday.

If so, the Normal Cafeteria has its place in the hearts of many, for figures show that during the summer quarter 175 to 200 persons were served daily. This quarter 125 to 200 are taking their noon meal iTicre. Due to the lowering of prices on certain food stuffs our cafeteria is able to serve food at remarkably low figures. Soups, pies and salads are examples of this. The insufficient stove space has been remedied thru the purchase of a new hotel range. From the following menu, one may gain an idea of the variety of dishes and prices of our cafeteria: Cream tomato soup 5c Creamed chipped beef 10c Baked potatoes oc Creamed carrots and peas 5c Scalloped corn 5e String beans 5c Sliced tomatoes 5c Sliced cucumbers 5c Sweet pickles lc Cheese 3c Fresh rolls, 3c; 2 for 5c Plain broad and butter, 3c; 2 for 5c Raisin bread and butter 3c; 2 for 5c Apple pie 5c Cream pie 5c 'rune pie oc Prune sauce 5c Doughnuts 3c; 2 for 5c Tee cream 5c Coffee, cocoa, milk 5c Candy liars may be obtained from ;) a. in. to 3 p. in., and ice cream may generally be had during the afternoon. The cafeteria is glad to order supplies for school parties or club .affairs. Supplies ordered through the cafeteria can be secured at lower figures than when bought retail. gt; On rainy days the waiting line is always longer and the cafeteria folk plan accordingly. It takes from 15 to 20 minutes to serve the ordinary line, but the Normal line is by no means an ordinary one. This line presents a fine opportunity for the study of certain phases of human nature and individuality. The difference in tastes, manners and customs is amazing. Much credit is due Mrs. Richards for her well seasoned soups, and homelike pies and cakes. Our cafeteria is self-supporting. Your co-operation will keep it so.

Since Miss Mead is serving in a dual capacity as both School Nurse and Dean, she appre-ates the fact that the students realize at last the blessing of keeping well. The only excuses that have held students from classes have been cases of colds and tonsilitis, none of whom wer'j very serious. In a short time the Detention Hospital will be ready.

Just browsing around is-poor policy; one never gets anywhere or knows the value of what he does get. The very best way to glean a general knowledge of books and of library usage, a necessary a set to every teacher. is to spend a litile time with each classification. This week's topic is Biography. Why should we read biography? Most of us have the idea that it's dry, hard to read, ancient; but that's the wrong impression. Why, just the other day .1 finished the biography of Jane Austin, English authoress, who became famous early in life; and it was better than fiction. To know something of the in timacies of another person's life, his trials, aims, and achievements, is to be inspired and encouraged. The best biographies are usually written by those, who esteem their subjects very hignly. Loekhart loved Sir Waiter Scott; Bos-well idealized Johnson. To read the life of one whose aims were similar to ours is to find a new frioMcl, and it is impossible to hnve too many such friends. It must be remembered also that the term "biography" includes many delightful informal letters full of the writer's personalities and containing interesting incidents of everyday life. Nearly one thousand lives are represented in our library by letters and autobiographies. The following list is especially selected for its value, interest, and variety, and is heartily recommended to everyone. The life of Thomas Edison, the most '•useful" man living in the world at the p?-esenfc time. A Life of Caviour, Italian patriot. St. Francis of Assisi. E. Grcig, the. great musician whose life was so full of purpose and sincerity. Abraham Lincoln, by Ida Tarbell. Don't finish this year without delving a little deeper into the life of this beloved leader. The Life of Alice Freeman Palmer. You students who suffer over lesson plans, take heart, for by striving and thro love of striving Alice Freeman Palmer when very young became president of YVt'llesley college. Life of Roosevelt. A timely book, of the vigor and simplicity of the great statesman. 1 A life of Helen Keeler. Booker T. Washington, the great negro leader. The Education of Henry Adams. One of the biographies that has caused moie comment than anv other of the present day. The Letters of Robert Louis Stevenson. The Letters of Ralph Waldo Emerson. The Life of Jane Austin. Sir Walter Scott, by Loekhart. Boswell's Life of Johnson. Head the many posters in the library which explain the ten definite calssifiecV Lions into which the books are divided and know tne general grouping of the subject matter. Jn seeking books, remember that reference books and bio graph y are to be found in north room, magazines and periodicals in the south room, and all others in the middle room. Next week's? topic will be Art. A "new book" shelf will be placed in the library soon," opposite the charge desk, and will contain the very latest additions to the library. Posters above the shelf will contain information. A miscellaneous reading list, from time to time, will be recommended by different members of the faculty. The books so recommended will be entirely Small can Log Cabin Maple Syrup 25c Owen Market Grocery No. 3 G-arden Street, Near Oak outside of any course of study in any department. The following new books ought to give anyone a bigger and more sympathetic understanding of life: Miss Edens: Casuals of the Sea, by William McFee. A sea story with a big appeal. Smoke and Steel, Poems of Chicago, by Carl Sandburg. Letters of William James, Harvard psychologist. Miss Montgomery: Romance of Leonardo de Vinci, by Freud. Ten years were spent in compiling the facts herein given, and they accurately represent the life and spirit of the 15th and 10th centuries. Opal Whiteley, the Journal of an Understanding Heart, written by a child of seven years. Not originally written for publication. History of the World by H. G. Wells. The data vised is accurate; the record begins with anthropogenAr, about (iuOO B. C. 13. S. N. S. EXPERIENCES TEACHING IN THE DISTRICT SCHOOL A very interesting letter has been received by Miss Wilson, from Margaret Stapleton, in regards to her teaching "The last three weeks," states Miss Stapleton, "have been the busiest, most interesting, and most novel that I have ever experienced." Situated in the hilly wilds of Cowlitz county, near Pigeon Springs, is a little, old fashioned, twelve pupil school, where Miss Stapleton is teacher—and community leader. Th'e ittle school is on the other isde of the Kalamath river, and at present is access-able only by crossing the river on a foot log. However, when the rainy season ensues, it will be necessary to cross the river in a "hanging bird cage" suspended on a pulley and rope. The school itself is fairly well equipped, with exception to the library, which is composed chiefly of abandoned high school texts, piled in an old fashioned book case, in a very prominent part of the room. Due to Miss Stapleton's initiative, borrowed books will be procured from the T acorn a Public Library, and the State Traveling Library. The "teacher's quarters" are rather unique, tlio perhaps not to be appreciated. The boarding place is a three-room log cabin, in a rugged, partially cleared valley. Tho very clean, the three-room house is shared by a family of five, besides the teacher. Altho the community takes an active interest m activities Miss Staple-ton remarks that she feels, "like an alien on foreign soil" as the people are nearly all Finns, and speak little English. Miss Stapleton enjoys her teaching more than any previous experience and enjoys life in the country. Vet, our former student misses Be'lingham Normal. Many of Margaret Stapleton's friends will be glad to hear that she is planning on returning to B. S. N. S next summer. B. S. N. S. Teacher—Cecil, compare the adjective, sick.

Mr. Hansen is teaching in Kent, Wash, and reports that the work is very interesting. Mr. Hansen will be remembered as Editor of the Klipsnn, and taking the part of Manson, in the Senior play, ''The Servant in the House."

My, the ground seems mighty solid After this ordeal, I'll say— —Anon. tli rd THE SCHOLARSHIP SEVERAL DUTIES Much doubt seems to be in the minds of many Normal students regarding the function of the scholarship committee. One buoyant Freshman was heard to ask if that was the committee that was the committee that handed out scholarships at the end of the year. It has nothing to do with the awarding of scholarships to the particularly deserving; rather, it concerns itself with the student who is falling behind in his work.. The members of the con.miUee arc: Miss Cummins, chairman; Mits Bell and Mr. Rakgkopf. The purpose of tins committee is to study the relation of the student to his grade standings. It is to see that students do not overload, and that grades are kept up to a certain standard. Another duty is to supervise the • standing of the athletic teams. In order that one team may have as high a standing as another it is requisite that only students of certain grade standards be admitted to the basketball, .baseball and football teams. This applies to either the boys' or girls' track teams, and also debate. In fact, any team representing school activities falls under this requ.is.ite. Thus it is not to grai.t scholarships, but to uphold a higli standard of scholarship that this committee is appointed and its members are at work. -B. S. N. » . — OUR "HELLO" DAYS.

Such beautiful blue and white wooly blankets piled everywhere, just waiting, it seemed, to cuddle a weary chilly yhv per; and pillows, quantities of them, inviting the drowsy head, brand new chairs, there were too, and crockery. Towels draped themselves here and there.- Several rugs were on display. There may have hem curtains curious vases, stands, pictures, and many other interesting things; but one quick glance thru a partly open door could but give a bare survey. There were people iu the faculty room, also, who seemed to be fingering the wares spread by the bazaar before them- and c-hatl ing affably, no doubt, over the prices and values. One could never guess the real meaning of it all. It lt;nul to do with the furnishings for the new dormitory. The girls who are to live there may count themselves lucky in being taken care of so completely and pleasantly. The merchants who made bids for the dormitory equipment were requested to present samples which were for a period of several days placed in the faculty room under observation of the Board. Up to the present writing no bids have been finally accepted. The Northwestern National Bank Bellingham, Wash.

T H IS IN CONSTANT USE Bellingliam Normal is unique among schools of its size, in the amount of its Student Loan Fund. Beginning with a nucleus of $400, donated by the graduating class of 1004, thft fund has constantly grown until at present $10,000 is at the disposal of Dr. Niisn and a faculty committee to loan to deserving students. Practically all of that amount is in use now. The Unit any student may draw ia $200. Mr. Allen, of Seattle, has proved himself a friend indeed, to many prospective teachers, as at two different occasions he has given generously to the Loan Fund, on the stipulation flint the sum he donated would he equalled by other conti ibutions. The faculty also have given freely to this fund. Letters received by the school from students who have made use of the Loan Fund show with what appreciation and gratitude these loans are received.

Miss Sperry returned Monday from Teacher's Institutes in Grant and Harney counties. The institutes were held in Canyon City and Burns,, Oregon. The program was very interesting, and Miss Sperry enjoyed every part of her trip Among those who helped make the Institute such a success were: W. M. Smith, assistant state superintendent; Professor F. L. Stetson, of the University of Oregon; Professor E. D. Kesseier, of the Oregon Agricultural college, and Miss Gertrude Lyons, superintendent of Grant county. Miss Lyons will be remembered here as a graduate of 'IS. She is doing splendid work in her field. Miss Sperry met several other Normal students at Canyon City, among them, Mrs. Von, of the class of 'I."), who is now head of the English department at the .Maker City high school; Mrs. Elizabeth Shoemaker Gunthcr, of the class of 1909, and Miss Pauline Paulson, of Mo. The country in which Miss Sperry visited is one of great opportunity and great possibilities. There are good schools and hard working, appreciative teachers. The great drawback is the irrigation problem. Canyon City is an old gold mining center, and was at one time the largest city in Oregon. ITarney county is the largest county in the United States, being nearly 200 miles long and comprises 00 million acres of land. " Miss Sperry drove by auto from Canyon City to Burns, a 70 mile trip, and from Burns to Bend, a 150 mile trip, thru desert and sagebrush. These cities are without railway connection and the stretches of country between these points present a touch of the real "wild west," with its picturesque barrencss and promising future. B. S. N.

IS LEADS IN COMMUNITY SINGING Mr. Coughlin returns to us, brimming over with enthusiasm about the institute work accomplished at Goklcndale, Klickitat County, October 3 and 4, where he was one of the leaders. Following the Portland route, Mr. Coughlin viewed the wonderlands of the Columbia. From Maryhill the trip was completed by stages. By route of the. main highway, the stage crept up the snake-like switchback, with a 5 percent grade to an altitude of 1G00 feet, the top of the .'Klickitat Plateau. From this point the view was most interesting, including four great mountain peaks of the northwest, M.ts. Adams, Hood, Rainier and St. Helens. Arriving at Goldendale the party was cordially received. Mr. Coughlin reports having seen many former students of Bellingliam Normal at the institute. Me brings back greetings from the students and teachers: Margaret Riddle, '19-20, District ii, Goldendale, Wash. Floisc M. Dickens, '21, Pine Grove. Wash. Margaret Wells, '20-21, Husum, Wash.

The appeal of the institute was mainly thru visualization. - A great number of stereoptican slides, depicting nature, were shown; and there also was a motion picture demonstration. Prof. Coughlin introduced community singing, in which he was ably assisted by a former Normal student. At first it was practically impossible to get the audience in a responsive mood. None of the songs that usually gather enthusiasm seemed to rouse the audience. Finally, when the leader was about to give up hopes, succumbing to desperate needs, he announced that anyone seen not singing the song "Howdy" and shaking hands with those on cither side of him would be considered as a "poor sport, and" said Mr. Coughlin, "such a shaking of hands and such a friendly spirit that arose, you never saw in your life!" There was a big gathering of fomrer Normal students, who wanted to know-all about the Normal, and about prospects for summer school. Mr. Coughlin visited two schools, conducted by former Normal students. They took him all around the country, and he reports it to be a great land for harvesting wheat. There are large crops this year and much fruit. In fact, every- Small picnic Shoulders, per lb 16c Owen Market Grocery No. 3 Garden Street, Near Oak thing points to a fine season, except the prices, which are very low.

Out into the deep waters of the channel it glided, pushing aside the water gently, guided by the bare brown arm of our moody boatsman. Further out it dared until the rythni of its swaying lulled us into a musing dream, and the shadowy white walls behind receded into darkened haze. The city of Venice was at rest. Its people, its boats, its sights and sounds were asleep. It seemed as if the mellow darkness of the night were a masterful being that barkened the noises and soothed the people into dreams; that arranged the strange silence, so full of tremulous whispers; that called to the fairies, beckoning and inviting them to play. The fairies he called were the moonbeam fairies and the fairies of the water —ail .the fairies of the night time. Shadow sprites came and danced at the edges of the water. We saw them flicker and wave and grow. They crowded into the corners; they covered the walls and houses with warm protecting arms. But the moonbeam dancers were all around us, in the open on the water. Our followers, they swayed and trembled and gleamed, lighting up the surface. Their dance was not dumb; it was full of song and light laughter, but the singing and the laughter were stilled. The water fairies we could not see at once, but we felt their presence and heard their hushed chant. Murmur low, liuir mur low! It rose and fell, grew and died. They chose the tiniest moonbeams for their partners and twinkled in and out of the water in merry circles. 13. S. NT. S .— DER STYLE AND BUSINESS.

The calibre of the Tennis and Baseball teains is high, perhaps the best yet turned out-by the school. The baseball teain has yet to lose a conference game.

XXII BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1923 NO. 21 E IS STILL ON; M i r HAVE SIGNED UP School Annual Epitomizes all That is jrfest in School Life. ' The Klipsun epitomizes all that is best .in Normal School life. It is a record of achievement. Hundreds will keep and cherish it as a memorial of some of the happiest and finest days of their life. Everyone who has a hand in the task wants this year's book to be a monumental achievement, surpassing all previous attempts—a bood that, both in appearance and contents, all subsequent generations of students may strive in vain to equal. Two hundred fifty literary and illustrated pages bound in a beautiful blue Castillian. cover, an artistic and living record of Normal activities for 1922-23—will be this year's Klipsun. Eggert Burns and Robert Caulkins, Editor and Associate respectively, may never be literary genuises but they undoubtedly will put out a Year Book that will surpass both in size and quality any Annual ever put out by the Bellingham Normal. The Klipsun is put out. not in the interest of any individual nor any certain group of individuals but for the good of all the students of this school. As has been iterated and reiterated through the columns of this paper, the publishing of the Klipsun is a costly undertaking. Every student must put his HORACE RAHSKOPF, Debate Coach.

S-STORY TELLERS P DEBATE TEAM IS READY TO START For the past two weeks, members of the Leowyrhta or Story Telling Club have contributed their talent to eight programs. They have told stories to P. T. A. meetings, local and also those of near-by communities and assisted at several assemblies and missionary meetings. From all reports the girls are being enthusiastically received, and orders for programs are continuing to come in. Among other recent engagements they have filled are entertainments at Harmony, Lawrence, Sehome school, Washington school and a Presbyterian tea at the home.of Mrs. E. T. Mathes. The debate teams are being rapidly brought into shape for the Inter- Normal Triangular debate which takes place on the evening of Thursday, March 1. This debate has been an annual event between the three Normal schools of the state, since the offering of the Guy S. Allison cup by a Bellingham alumnus, two years ago. According to the rules of the contest the school which wins the cup for three successive years may claim permanent ownership. For the past two years Cheney has secured the judges decision; so the coming debate will decide whether or not the Allison cup will find a permanent home in her halls. In the debates this year, the affirmative team in every school will debate at home and the negative team will travel. The Bellingham negative team will go to Cheney; Cheney's negative EDITOR ELECTED FOR THE Mrs. Carl Irish, who has served as editor of the Messenger for the past quarter, was again selected for that position. Monday by the Board of Control at their regular meeting, her re-election being based upon efficient service during her previous incumbency. The choice of a trained editor for a second term is a decided step toward a better type of school paper, a demand for which has been insistently expressed by students and faculty. B. S. N. S.

On Friday, February 23, students of the Normal will be given an opportunity to view the projects completed this quarter by students of the Industrial Are department. These projects will be on exhibit in room 108. BLUE AND WHITE BRING BACK THE STATE TITLE The results of the four games played in the Eastern part of the state during the past week, gave to the Bellingham Normal the much coveted title of Champions of the Washington Normals. The eastern trip was made by Coach Carver and eight players, the group leaving on Monday morning and returning Sunday. The first two games were played at Ellensburg, Bellingham winning the first game 26 to 22 and losing the second game 27 to 31. The third game was played at Cheney with the Cheney Normal, the final score being 33 to 27 in favor of Carver's men. It was the result of this game that the Bellingham fans so patiently awaited, as on the result hinged the Blue and White's chances for the state title. The fourth game "was pin yed with Spokane College, with a resulting score of 17 to 39 in favor of Spokane College. The three games in which the Blue and White hoopsters had participated required all their pep and consequently they could not handle Spokane college as they had wished. The student body as well as the many Bellingham followers of the game, have nothing but praise for Carver and his team. The games played this season and the scores are as follows: Normal, 50; Edison, 15 Normal, 74; Ferndale, 12. Normal. 34; Fairhaven, 17. Normal 48: Y. M. C. A., 23. Normal, 44; Blaine H. S., 25.

The school which wins the largest number of votes from the nine judges at the three debates, is the winner for the year. The Bellingham affirmative team which debates Ellensbtirg here is composed of Christina. Peterson, Mildred Anderson and Lewis Arnold. The Bellingham team which goes to Cheney, consists of Rebecca Arnell, Frank D. Henderson, and Charles L. Simon son. They will be accompanied by Mr. Rahskopf, debate coach, and Miss Mabel Shuey. This team expects to leave Bellingham on the afternoon train, Wednesday, February 28. The judges for the local debate with Ellensburg are: Professor Frank Laube, of the University of Washington; the Rev. Paul B. James, Christ Church, Seattle; and Judge Austin E, Griffiths, of the Superior Court of the State of Washington. B. S. N. S. The Campus Walk. 0 campus walk, 0 campus walk, how long thou art today, I'm tardy every morning; I was tardy yesterday. T hurry up the stairway, I hasten up the street, But the bell has always rung when T reach the classroom seat. 0 campus w~alk, 0 campus walk, how long thou art today. The cold north wind is blowing and the sky is dark and grey. The ice is very slippery and my feet will go astray, 'Tis a perilous business I can say. 0 campus walk, 0 campus walk, how brief thou art tonight. The tasks of day are over and the sun is put to flight, The moon has just arisen and the stars are shining too. Like eyes they are shining from the blue. 0 campus walk, 0 campus walk, how happy I should be If your brief expanse would lengthen To a never-ending path, To a never-ending pathway only trod, by him and me, Oh, paradise on earth it would be! —E. D. T. B. S. N. S. The fresh spring breezes were blowing through the open windows of the school room, and George Washington was the momentous question in hand. "Why do you think George Washington was the first man?" asked the teacher. "Because he was 'first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen'." Another boy then i-aised his hand. "Well, Johnny,- who do you think was the first man?" said the teacher. "Don't know his name," answered Johnny, "but I know George Washington was not the first man, 'cause my history says he married a widow, so there must have been a man ahead of him." KLIPSUN DRIVE IS STILL ON; MANY HAVE SIGNED UP. (Continued from Page One) or her shoulder to the wheel and push with all the strength of the price of one Klipsun, $2.50. OLIVER LNUERSOLL, Business Manager. Miss Keeler Boosts Klipsun. "All live, energetic, enthusiastic, and active students should support all worthwhile school activities," said Miss Keeler recently. "The Klipsun is certainly worth while and I cannot imagine any student leaving this school without one." Mr. Klemme Wo Dead Wire. •'This year's. Klipsun will be my eight-tenth," said Mr. Klemme. "I have saved one every year and I certainly do not regret it." Mr. Bond "Signs Up." "Of course I'll sign up for a iKlipsun," and Mr. Bond had affixed his signature and was off. Mr. Kibbe Values Klipsun. "I am keeping a library of Klipsuns," said Mr. Kibbe. "I value them very highly, and have tried to keep one of each issue." B. S. N. S. THAT SERIOUS LOOK. When you see a lad with a serious look, With a face that's grave and stern, Who acts as if he'd swallowed a book, In his great desire to learn, Don't form an opinion on the spot, As he's probably not to blame. His stack of hots, perhaps came late, And his stomach is playing a game. His mush he hid in no seconds flat, And the Java he took on the fly; So the balance of the day he wanders about, With a serious look and a sigh. . The teacher says, as he passes along, "What a serious lad, that boy, He's surely making some mother glad, Some children are really a joy." His mother says, at home that night. "You're working too hard, I'm afraid, Don't try to do all of your work in a day, To over-work, never has paid. I suggest that you let up a- bit, Go take in a movie or two. 'Twill help to remove that serious look. You act so down-hearted and blue." "Dear mother,' says he, "my guess is you're right, ' The Prof, says, Tm carrying a load.'" But after the show, as a midnight repast, He fills up on pie a-la-mode, So when you gaze on the serious look, Don't judge, but leave just a question, For the chances are. that the look you see, Is the result of more indigestion. B. S. N. S.- A "Billet-Doux." She was a winsome country lass, So William on a brief vacation, The time more pleasantly to pass, Essayed flirtation. And while they strolled in twilight dim, As near the time of parting drew, Asked if she would have from him A "billet-doux." Now this simple maid of French knew naught, But doubting not 'twas something nice, Shyly she lifted her pretty head Her rosy lips together drew and coyly said, "Yes, Billy—do," ~ - - And William did.

The Board of Control, last Monday, authorized Mr. Ford to increase the number of copies-of the Messenger to meet the demand. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1923 February 23 - Page 3 ---------- BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23,1923 _ Z GIRLS HAVE FIRST GAME OF BASKETBALL MONDAY The first scheduled game of the girls' basketball was played Monday in the small gym, between the Alley Gang and Edens Hall. The game was interesting but one-sided; the Alley Gang team winning from the Edens Hall team by a score of 46 to 13. Remarkable team work was shown in the winning team. The guards took advantage of every opportunity to check the ball, and the forwards seemed to merely look at the ball to make a basket. The Edens Hall team was one chosen from girls who live in Edens Hall. Their representatives were: Ethel Dow and Pearl Whitmore; guards, liable Hickson and Julia Whitmore; forwards, Molly Curtis and Emma Coffman; and one substitute, Sarah Murphy. The Alley Gang team was a picked up team of some of the best basketball players of the Normal. The team was composed of: centers, Carla La Vign and Beatrice Thomas; guards, Marjorie Morrison and Ruth Gill; forwards, Agnes Tweit and Violet Mitcliam, and one substitute, Bernice Judson. B. S. N. S. Prize Awaided. Softly and gracefully they glided over the floor, stepping thru the intracacies of the fox trot. They seemed to float thru the mystic ether impelled by the rythmic throb of the music. The sleek-haired gentleman glanced confidently over the moving crowd, then down at his comely partner. Demurely she smiled back at him. All eyes were upon the pair. Who could they be? Was this some famous royal pair escaped by devious paths from the clutches of the raving reds of Russia? Could it be two at whose beck and call the most graceful dancers of an emipre once performed, now forced to entertain others for a mere pittance? No, such was not the case. Could it not then be two famous danssants stopping for a pleasant moment at the Bellingham Normal? Might not that flashing eye, those graceful movements belong to Mische Itoe himself? Might not the lithe lady be none other than the- one and only Madame Pavola ? No, it was none of these, it was actually Bill McNeil and Bee Anderson, showing the grace and form which won for them the prize trot Friday. The prize trot was such a success that it has been decided to continue it. The latest thing the social committee is considering is a prize for the whole quarter. A realty worth-whle reward will be given, the opinion so far favoring a watch. Position, grace, appearance, and general conduct on the dance floor will be the deciding factors. Bill and Bee have the inside track now, so the other Valentinos and Irene Castles will have to start early and avoid the rush. NORMAL GROCERY We Cater to Normal Student Trade.

Puppet With Apologies to Gunga Din You can speak of lack of fear, When you're seated safe out there And left to leave or take it; But when it conies to acting, It takes some moral backing To just get up and try it. Now on Normal's little stage, Where I spent what seemed an age, A servin' of her maqesty the W. A. A. Of all the pains I've knew The one that is most blue Is just to stand and o-a-a-l. t was act, act, act, You loony sap, don't turn your back, Now put some expression in it Or we'll kick you out this minute, You pooi- ham, out and act. Now the clothes I had to wear Would have frightened off a bear, You can's- blame me that I wished to run For a lot of stick black And some rags dropped on your back Is bad enough for anyone. You just sit and sing and laugh While you fearfully must chaff As the audience just looks and smiles And you feel the shivers slide Along your spine inside And you wish for distant miles. It was act, act. act. Oh! all the life you lacked! You could hear the stage hands whisper, "Show some pep, make it crisper If you falter, don't come bacK." I shan't forget that night! I nearly died with fright With a soft spot where my backbone should have been. I was chokin' mad with thirst And the man who scared me worst Was the prof who heads the expression clan. At last the act was done, The greatest vict'ry won, My head was gone it seemed. They led me safe away, To where a divan lay And this is what I dreamed. Act, act, act! Put some ginger in your act. If you don't put this thing over We'll just cover you with clover And -you'll never, never dare come back. ' -V.L. TRY WAHL'S NEW LOWER PRICE BASEMENT For Shoes.

Saturday night, February 17, the Phi-lomathean club of the Bellingham Normal School, held their annual banquet in the Pheasant Tea Rooms at 0:30 o'clock. To say the least, the banquet was a wonderful success and will long be remembered as a red letter day on each Philomathean's calendar of time. The Tea Rooms were very attractively decorated in the Philo colors, green and white, boxwood shrubs, and the Philo emblem, while pussy willows, green and white streamers, and green candles decorated the long white table. The five-course banquet dinner was proclaimed ''marvelous" and ••great" by 50 hungry Philomatheans, and each did healthy justice to it. At each plate was an attractive little place card containing a booklet which held the name and program and carried out the Philo emblem. After the banquet dinner a very interesting program was given as follows : Toastmaster Herbert Cederberg Song Donna ,K1 inker "Philo Husbands" Roswell Oliver Piano Solo Dorothy Clark "Philo Wives" Mrs. Sam Carver Group of Songs Margaret Saddler "Philo Students" Robert Tunst-all Duet Dorothy Clark, Byron Payne This annual banquet given by the Philos is always attended by a large number of alumni Philos who take this opportunity to get acquainted with the new Philo members; thus establishing a stronger union and good fellowship among all of the club members.

WE SOLICIT THE NORMAL ACCOUNTS "Washington summers are unequalled, and I've surely been treated royally since I came here last August," said Mrs. Emma Whipple, one of our most charming far-away students, who came to Bellingham last August from Wadena, Minnesota. "I only intended to visit here, but I found Bellingham such a wonderful place that I decided to take a course in music supervision at the Normal," declared Mrs. Whipple, as she modestly consented to be interviewed. Mrs. Whipple has taught piano lessons for twenty years, and she is scheduled to teach Fundamentals of Music next quarter. She is also a keen student of nature, and is much interested in agriculture. For ten years she was connected with the Agricultural department of the Minnesota State Fair, and she was the means of winning a silver loving cup for her county. If you are weary of lesson plans, and the strain of the end-of-the-term tests, seek Emma Whipple, and the sunshine of her smile will make life seem more worth while. B. S. N. S. Fashion Show in Prospect. Miss Longley's class in Home Economics 12, is working out a group of reports on the suitability and adaptability of various types of outer garments. Varieties of tailored suits, coats, and dresses, and a wide range of more elaborate silk frocks are to be discussed and illustrated. The unit may be developed into a fashion show 'in which mannequins, dressed in these types of garments, will supplement brief reports, and which would make an interesting assembly pro-o- ram.

The committee hopes that more students will realize that it is not a mere.go-between but a body with a very definite mission. It is not a negative group trying to tell anyone what not to do, but is a very positive group, working toward the goal of the most and best social activities possible. Under the regime of this year's social committee a great deal has been done. An unusually large number, of dances have been fostered by the committee, and some actually given under its supervision, as the Friday afternoon dances. Play hours have been provided, that all may be entertained. In every way the committee has tried to aid and further social activities of all sorts, but it is willing to admit that more might be done. The best way to get more done is by co-operation from the student body. In the matter of dance posture, the best possible spirit has been shown. There has been a ready response to all requests for what few changes in posture and style the committee has deemed it wise to ask for; but on the other hand there has been a great fault of omission. People have been heard to mumble, "Why don't we have more of this? or better of that?" But when pinned to just what they want and how it can be secured, they don't know that. That the committee is open to suggestions and will work on them is shown by the way it took up and put into effect concrete suggestions that were made for better music on Fridays and Mondays. If you really want something and have some advice to offer, see the committee. Cooperation means bigger things with less work. Give the committee a helping hand. This social committee, under whom precedent on dance events is being made wants to set a standard for future events. —V. G. L. B. S. N. S.- HOW WELL CAN YOU SPELL? You may be clever and studious but if you can't spell correctly , you are like a violinist with one of his violin strings broken. Judge Edwin S. Thomas of Hartford, Conn., gave a spelling test to several government officials, lawyers, and big business men. The test consisted of ten words in common use. These words were: Supersede, innuendo, inoculate, rarefy, vilify, repellent, plaguy, embarrass, harass, and picnicking. These are all words that one can use in ordinary conversation without getting a reputation for having digested "Webster's knowledge. Yet not one of these business men could spell all ten correctly. SEE WORTH WHILE MOVIES. Are you careful to select moving pictures that are worth seeing? A great many of your opinions and ideas are unconsciously formed as a result of the movies you select as recreation. These opinions you, consequently, impart to your friends. It is of vast importance whether or not your opinions and ideas are the right and proper kind. See pictures that will benefit you morally and mentally. See pictures that will miake you a little better. In this way, by patronizing worth-while pictures, you yourself will help censor the wrong kind of movies. B.S. N. S. What does the beginning of the new quarter mean to you? Do you consider it as an opportunity to be made the most of, or do you consider it as one more quarter of necessary drudgery? Make it mean opportunity and a new chance to make good, by discarding your carelessness and shiftlessness of last quarter. Be ambitious and take the extended opportunity. —A. L. CORRECTION.

"An island is a body of land completely surrounded by water," states "Dynamite," famous endman in the W. A. A. minstrel show. Reveille Island is far more than that. It is one of the beauty spots to be seen in a trip to the head of Lake Wnatcom and it is the source of interesting tradition and probable historical facts. Reveille is situated a mile or so above Nbrmalstad and forms an added attraction to our eighty acres. Normal students will probably become very familiar with the island as the eighty becomes improved. The island rises high above the water in a betutiful dome, covered with evergreen trees and underbrush. The sides of the island slope abruptly into the lake, leaving no beach and adding to the beauty of its form. Two thrilling traditions are told of the island. Many, many years ago, when this country was first settled, by white people the Indians fought, hard for their hold on the territory. Their last stand was made upon this little island in the center of Lake Whatcom. The English soldiers besieged' the little tribe and after a plucky show of endurance, starvation threatened. The Indians, being true warriors, would not surrender and so one morning just as the sun was peeping over the surrounding hills, they silently threw themselves into the lake and sank out of sight. As the last man disappeared the sweet tones of the morning reveille floated across the still water from the English camp. The island has since borne the name of "Reveille." Over two hundred years ago the territory around Lake Whatcom was claimed by an Indian tribe as their hunting ground. Their t war-like neighbors desired this valuable ground and war ensued. The defending tribe secreted itself in the underbrush on the island. As the enemy approached in canoes some slight movement disclosed the hiding place of the Islanders. A furious fight followed, both tribes launched in canoes', sending arrows at their enemies and trying to tip their canoes. Many Indians from both sides were soon trashing around in the blood-stained Avater. Suddenly they were one and all drawn steadily under the water and their frenzied cries brought help from their friends. As they grasped the hands of their rescuers the pulling increased and the remaining canoes were capsized. One Indian alone escaped and spread the news of the dreadful undertow that surrounds the island. To this day no Indian of the Puget Sound tribes has been bribed, coaxed, threatened or persuaded in any manner to set foot in a boat on the waters of the "Devil's" Lake. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1923 February 23 - Page 5 ---------- BELLINGHAM, WASinN^ .0/:: NormatSoto 'Mildred Boyd, Dorothy Austin,. an:l Loris Jacklin motored with friends to their homes; in Seattle for the. weekend.

Arrangements have been made so that her credits for this quarter will not be lost. It was hoped that a crowd could be gathered to attend the Washington State College Giee Club entertainment at Mt.

Miss Ke'eler and Miss Cummins en-tertaned for Dr. Nash Sunday evening by inviting in a number of his friends for a few hours of pleasant conversation.

Helen Fraser and Frances Combs managed to hang over as pitients for several days, but the others went to school Monday. The Extension department is sending out letters to Washington high schools suggesting as commencement speakers, Mr. Bond and Dr. Miller. Mr. Bond, who is head of the Mathematics department^ will speaK on: "What mean ye by the Stones?" Dr. Miller, head of the Education department, will speak on "The American Spirit."

Nash, former president of Bellingham Normal, who is now president of the Congregatonal Foundation of the Congregational Church, spent Sunday, February 18, in Bellingham and spoke from the pulpit of the local Congregational church. Owing to the fact that Dr. Nash spent Saturday in Portland and Monday in Seattle^ he was unable to greet the faculty and students of the Normal, for which he expressed his sincerei, regret. •Mr. Robert Caulkins and Miss Frances Farrar are to play prominent parts in "The House Next.

Scene I. It is Friday evening, and the dorm is in its usual Friday evening confusion, but this .evenng it is not because of a student -affair, oh no, the girls are not selfish, this is a Faculty Party. "Will they all come? Did you see those funny little kid games on the tab'o. girls? Parehesi, table horseshoe, checkers, and lots' of others. I bet they'll have' a "good time, don't you? Miss Slmey said not to disarrange the furniture, .Agnes." Scene II. The scene, and the view is changed. The girls arc back from the party downstairs, and are interested in what is going on in the social hall. No one seems to be a bit sleepy.. "Goodness, is the faculty still there? I thought they'd gone. Is there any cake left? You' go and see, no one will see you, there are some girls in the kitchen, you can find put from them. You, couldn't get any? What a shame. Listen they are dancing now. Say girls, who wants cake when we can ese tlie faculty members enjoy themselves?" 'Come. Do'ores, I've • found a good l)iace. See, .we can turn out this hall li«ht and we can see from the ba.-k stairs window." Slowly a crowd of kimonoed girls gather around the window. "Oh, look! " We can see it all. Miss Be'ton is paying the piano." "I see Miss McDonald passing out the cake. Miss ' Shuey said- it was. devil's foo-1 and angel's food." "Oh, never mind the cake. Look!

Who is he, anyway, Prav.'e':" "Oh, T guess he's the new Prof." "Aren't they ever going? The students can't stay this late. I certainly like to watch them dance, tho." . "Say, girls, run, here conies Miss Long and Mr. Philippi with the dishes. Don't let them catch us here." They, run down the back stairs. "My, that Avas a scare; I never ran down stairs so fast in my life. Well, I guess they are going. We can get back safely tliis way.' Yes, they are going! There are on'y two couples on the floor now, aren't there? That's Dr. Miller. I believe he's just learning. He is going to stay till the last dog is hung. He certainly is human. He has a good time, doesn't he?. There, the lights are out. Let's go and see if there is anything left." " The girls quietly approach the social hall, and finding all quiet they enter the room recently so merry. "I found a valentine. I. bet it was the first prize. Whoever won it was more interested in the dance than the prize, evidently." "Is there anything in the kitchen?". "Nothing but some lump sugar." "Oh, dear, a n d ! got so hungry watch- 'n lt;r Mr. Heckman dance!" "Let's go to bed; We don't need any devil's food anyway." "Good night, ladies; Good night ladies." The crowd disperses, and quiet reigns once more. -B. S. N. S. iTUDENT LOAN FUND EXPLAINED BY DR. MILLER Few of us.ever give a thought to the Student Loan Find. In fact a surprising number of students did not know that such a fund existed, until Dr. Miller spoke of it in assembly on Monday. At present, this fvnd exceeds $17,000. and in the last year, over two hundred students have received aid. This loan is for the sole purpose of he'ping students who can not otherwise graduate, or who are in serious financial difficulties, it is not for personal convenience, and is not a scho'arship fund. To receive this loan, the student must apply to the faculty committee. After the committee has approved, the loan mav then .be obtained at the registrar's office. Money will not be loaned to pjop'c who have poor grades, when someoir: with higher grades needs the help. Students are urged to piy b gt;ck this loan as quickly as possib'e. It is nr-t necessary to return the loan in one sum. B. S. N. S.- D'uiarhter: "A certain young man sent some flowers this morning." Mother: "Don't .say 'a certain young, man,' my dear.

LEGISLATIVE NEWS DIRECT FROM OLYMPIA A bill has been introduced into the legislature which will make the state normals, four year teachers' colleges. If the bill is passed, the normals wi'l then have power to grant degrees in Bachelor of Arts and teach major lines for the professional training of teachers, school superintendents and school supervisors. They would also be able to train high school teachers. This would undoubtedly increase the enrollment thereby' add to the importance and prestige.

" While in this Chicago school of physical educaton, Miss Frank was a leader in all sports. In the fall term the girls turn out for field hockey and soccer—the teams are chosen in November and all the games are inter-class games. In the winter the girls turned out for vol-, ley ball. Miss Frank was a member of each team. Volley ball is the popular game in the east, and the American P.. E. College entered the Chicago tournament. Thirteen games were played and in each the Chicago College of Physical Education wei'e victorious, and won the gold cup trophy which was offered by the Amateur Athletic Federation. In the spring, indoor baseball, track horseback riding and swimming were the sports which Miss Frank also took; up. . An honor emblem is offered by the Chicago Physical Education college for. the two best all ''around athletes in the school. We are not surprised to learn that Miss Frank was one of the two girls winning the honor emblem.. An all around athlete, is a wonderful asset to any school and more so when they can be a guide for other girls in being all round athletes also, and we count ourselves fortunate in having Miss Frank as our assistant physical education director.

There was a superfluity of smiles and good cheer throughout their whole domain. Now, what was the meaning of all this excitement? It was for no other reason than that the pupils felt the presence of Dan Cupid flitting around the halls and in their class rooms. Dan Cupid was personified and represented by the large number of pupils who, with a mysterious letter or package in their hand would direct their footsteps to a certain large box placed upon a "pedestal" in one corner of the hallways. This "postoffice" was filled to overflowing with letters and packages sealed with red hearts the most of which bore the title "To My Valentine."

Stanford University, Feb. 12. Hazing died a sudden death at Stanford. Tom Irwin, editor of the Daily Palo Alto, decided at the time he received his hazing when a Freshman at Stanford, that he would go on the trail of partakers of these yearly festivities or "spanking bees." On January 31, of this year, Mr. Irwin caught seven Sophomores of Erims hall red-handed. The hall was given the alternative of agreeing to abandon the traditional method of discipline and adopt a system of Senior control, or of having exa*mples made of the seven. The sophomores decided to discontinue their methods . Their decision was also followed by Sequoit hall. The Chinook, Seattle: West Seattle High is boosting for cleanliness and asks: "What do you do with your wastepaper ?" "'What do you do with the papers when you clean out your lockers?" " Do you leave them lying around or do you put them away." We can honestly say that our halls, locker rooms are respectable as far as cleanliness is concerned and hope to keep them that way. The Ocean Breeze, Aberdeen: The editor comments upon success being achieved only by work. A great personality or a strong will power will not gain success for you unless you back up either of these two qualities with hard work. A person who may lack a strong personality and who is very meek may rise into the limelight if he works. Too many people are afraid of their tasks and shirk doing them. And according to the editorial if you are one of the latter join Coue's followers and say to yourself every morning, "I like Work." ' B. S. JST. S. The Right Size. It is said that once, when President Washing-ton was riding near Washington City, with a party of gentlemen, their horses leaped a rock fence: the last steed over kicked off several stones. "Better replace those," suggested the general. "Oh, someone will do that!" was the careless reply. When the riding party disbanded, Washington turned his horse, and rode back the way they had come; dismounting, he carefully replaced the stones. "Oh, general!" chattered a friend who came along, "you are too big to be doing that!" "Oh, no," replied Washington, as he stood gravely inspecting his work. "I am just the right size." HOTEL LEOPOLD LUNCHEON 60c Table d'Hote Dinner $1.00 Sam Rathman's Orchestra 6 to 8 p. m. Special Sunday Evening Dinner $1.25 BUSINESS GIRLS' LEAGUE DISCUSS GIRLS' FINANCES An enthusiastic crowd of Business Girls met at the Dean's hour, Tuesday, February 20, to continue the discussion of Investment, held over from the Forum of February 6th. Marjorie Westall opened the discussion on the topic "How Can a Business Girl get along with less than $25 in the spring quarter above the cost of board and room." The speaker believes that this could be done if the girls kept their health and had their spring wardrobe to begin with. It developed that at least 13 young women are making out their spring budget with the expectation of spending less than $25 during the spring quarter above cost of room and board. Vergie Glance led the discussion on "What to do with $25 above living expenses." After a very animated exchange of views, the group decided on the following approximate division: I. Registration $4 to $6. (Lecture course 75c, nurse' physician 50c. Messenger, social life and athletics $1.50). II. Books, $4 to $6. III. School supplies, $3 to $5. IV. Miscellaneous, $5. (Toilet articles, stationery, stamps, ear fare, etc.) V. Religious work and philanthropy, $2.50. VI. Social and literary clubs (additional to 1) $2.00. VII. Cultural Advantages, $1.00; lectures and concerts in addition to I above. VII. (Optional) Clothes, savings or traveling, $5 to $10. Recreation in addition to I( VI and VII found in walking, hiking, birds or some other nature hobby and cultivation of friendships. Thirty Business Girls have limited their expense to $25.00 for the Spring Quarter. How would you spend $50.00 above living expenses? $100.00? In discussing the distribution of $50. and $100 respectively, above living expenses, the group decided that the difference should allow an increase in philanthropy, clubs, cultural advantages and provide a definite sum for clothes, traveling and savings. Fifteen girls of the group are planning to spend more than $25.00 above living expense in the spring quarter. Joy Taylor spoke on the budget system, advising her colleagues to eliminate foolish purchases and worthless entertainments in order to have money for things really worth while. In discussing the health of the Business Girl, it was unanimously conceded that no girl should undertake working unless she had good health and every Business Girl should see to it that she kept her good health through regular habits and by steadfastly refusing to be overworked. A pleasing diversion was furnished by the reading of two original poems from the pen of Aladine La Rouche by Irene Hoyt, both Business Girls. The sixth annual banquet of the Business Girls' League will be held March 24th at the Normal. B. S. N. S. In a grade school in a western city, on the 22nd of February, a teacher asked this question: "Who can tell me whose birthday this is?" A girl rose timidly. "Well, Margaret, you may tell us," said the teacher. "Mine," came the unexpected reply. NEWTON'S Incorporated WOMEN'S APPAREL OF QUALITY The HOME STORE 1312-14 BAY STREET . A.

The Alkisiah club banquet, which was held at the Hotel Leopold Friday evening, was voted a complete success by all members present. Covers were laid for forty-five.' A color scheme of purple and gold the club colors, was effectively carried out KILAUEA Speaking of Dante's "Inferno," Mrs. Bunting thinks she has had a glimpse of it. To standupon a narrow ledge one hundred feet above a steaming cauldron of fiery red molten lava, is a thrilling experience, but—it is at the same time terrible in its awful beauty. At least Mrs. Bunting so discovered when she watched, fascinated, the seething lava of (Kilauea volcano on the largest island of the Hawaiian group, steadily rise until it overflowed the mouth of the pit. As you probably know, lava in the molten stage, flows with about the same consistency- as -molasses: conse quentlv, one can back up before it. "However," laughed Mrs. Buntiny, "one usuallv keeps a respectful distance. You know.' it's really hot." At frequent intervals fountains of fire caused by currents, send spouts like sky rockets into the air. thus causing the most brilliant fireworks and giving an intense and lurid glow sometimes as high as one mile above the crater. It was upon April 3. 1921,' that Mrs. Bunting, with a small party, visited Kilauea volcano. Arrivinsr at noon they found the lava about one hundred feet below the narrow ledge upon Avhich they first ventured out to look down into that turmoil of moving lava. It rose steadily until it had overflowed the rim bv one mile at two o'clock in the morn-ing. "Then." said Mrs. Bunting, "we left, only to find in the morning that the flow had covered two and one-half miles and had reached the foot of the cliff, upon which stood the volcano house or inn. According to Professor Jaeger, the voleanolosrist who lives there, it was the highest and most rapid recorded rise in fortv years." As the fiery cataract flows out. ser-pertine and irregular, from its crater, the lava glowed darkly red thru the crust formed bv the contact with cooler air. The horrible beauty of this molten river was further accentuated by the strong and suffocating gases escaping with a hissing murmur from the lava pit and thru the chasms of the mountain. Upon the lake of fire float two detached islands used, much as a guage. to measure the rise and fall of the lava. These islands, it is said, made their appearance in a most unique way. Without apparent reason the two shot up from the depths of the lava, and since have remained. One of the islands has with daffodils and tulle. The favors were tiny purple booklets filled with candies. May Phinney acted as toastmistress. The program of the evening consisted of toasts on the club traditions. Several musical selections were also given. a cone-like cave resembling the mouth of a whale. When currents from different directions run into the cave, it seems as if the wnale cannot swallow so spurts out the lava with the most orilliant gushes. The HaAvaiians have a beautiful myth woven about .the volcano. Acordingc to the earliest legends, Pele (Pili), the goddess of fire. dAvells here. When she is happiest the gloAV above the volcano is brightest and the lava is the highest. About the volcano is found Pele's hair. Clinging to rocks about the mountain it resembles spun glass, and is the result of molten lava blown and hardened by the Avind. Legends further relate how the small, bright stones found here and there in the lava are Pele's tears. They are of topaz color and when hard enough are used for jewels. "When Ave Avent up the mountain to the pit," said Mrs. Bunting. "Ave passed over a Avell-marked trail OArer the old lava, called pahoehoe, but Ave did not return the same wav for the simple reason that we couldn't. NeAv lava (aa) had completely covered the trail and since the crusted surface Avas not' quar-anteed to remain surface if a step Avere taken upon it, Ave returned bv auto road, a detour of seven miles, to the inn."

FRESHMEN WIN KLINE CUP GAME (Continued from Page One) first /Kline Cup game. The Sophomores hold the cup at present, so it was with blood boiling that the Freshies entered the game. From the first toss-up the spectators knew that it was to be a hard fought game. At the close of the first quarter the score stood 12 to 10 in favor of the Sophs. During the second quarter the Freshies tried to make up the two scores of the previous quarter but failed. By the end of the half the score was 16 to 14 still in favor of the Sophomores. During the intermission of halves, however, the Freshies were revived or perhaps they were just getting warmed up, for by the close of the third quarter they; held the highest score, 24 to 18. . Too; much credit could not be given Agnes Tweit for her creditable playing. "Aggie" seemed to have laid a charm over the ball and basket; so rapidly did she run up the score during the latter part of the third quarter. The Sophomores did some notable team work during the last quarter, their star being Mollie Curtis. But for all the attempts they could not cover up the lost scores and the game ended with a final score of 29 to 24 in favor of the Freshmen.

Basketball Team Goes On Tour ORATORS ARE TO ALLISON DEBATE CUP OBJECT OF DEBATERS With Professors Rashkopf and Hoppe, coaches, and Miss Cummins, a member of the forensic committee, doing the supervision work the Normal debating teams are thoroughly preparing themselves to bring back the Allison Debate Cup from Cheney. That "we must bring the cup back," is the sentiment expressed by practically everyone in the school. The whole school stands behind the debators iii their determination to bring home £he cup. Miss Rokes, Miss Inga Benson,, and Mr. Mason Hall will defend the affirmative; and Miss Stoughton, Miss Spaight and Mr. Oliver Ingersoll will defend the Negative. The question to be debated is: Resolved, That the Phillipine Islands be given their Independence by 1930. This question. is much in the limelight at the present time and it is believed that a strong case can be made by both teams. lALULASSJO" The class graduating this quarter consisting of twenty-seven members, has organized and elected Miss Beatrice Dahlquist, as president, preparatory to its commencement in March.

MISS OLIVE EDENS Normal Loses First Game; Then Wins Second Easily A large crowd was present in the Normal gym Friday night, when the strong Ellensburg basketball team defeated the local Normal "five" 23 to 14. The close guarding and excellent team work of the local men held the visitors from running up a large score during the game. Hughes, our star forward, was off color Friday, as he could not seem to locate the basket; he made shot after shot from every place on the floor, but missed every time by a narrow mai'gin. Both teams played a very clean game, few personal fouls being called during the game. The visitors made the first basket and kept the lead throughout the entire game. The score at the end of the first half was 11 to 10 in their favor. The visiting center, F. Robinson, played a star game, making 15 out of 23 points for them. Line-up: Bellingham.

Cheney Normal's journal has excellent editorils and one column is turned oyer to "'.Tinimie's Letter," which is, by the way, very clever. Poor Jimmy! How many, many boys feel that way soon after they come to a Normal school! Perhaps its their youth, however. "The Yellow Jacket" will be presented at Cheney soon by the Drama League of Spokane. Wish we could be there, too. The Centralia high school paper shows some of the true spirit of a high school, that is, fun on top and deep thought well expressed, and a real school spirit below the surface. Their paper is strictly devoted to school affairs and expressed in a clear cut manner. Several new courses are to be introduced in Centralia, for example. Solid Ceonictry. Argumentation, Social Science and Applied Art and He-signing. We are informed by the College Exchange from W. S. C, that Budic Olt-maii, of Bellingham. has just been initiated by the "Scabbard and Blade" military honor society; that Lulu Sells, also of Bellingham. has been pledged by the Phi Mu Beta, honorary education society: that Man son Fisher has been appointed a member of a committee "to pass on movies, plays, and lectures to prevent conflict and to 'assure diversity of entertainment." We also have received from the W. S. C. a set of interesting articles which we will be glad to loan to any of the students. Last, but not "least, the Dice Club is scheduled to appear in Bellingham sometime in February. Williamette (Salem, Oregon.) University, presented with great success Ibsen's drama, "A Doll's House."

An interesting interview with a policeman on the subject of dancing is one of the features of this issue. A committee has been formed to keep in touch with pupils through four years of high school and correspond with them- after graduating. This, school shows through its columns a great spirit —one that is going to keep its ideals and its perfect citizenship on the pinnacle on which it now stands.

NORMAL LOSES FIRST: WINS SECOND EASILY (Continued From Page One) the hard fighting of the whole team supplied the fans with plenty of thrills. Not a point was made during the first ten UKI a half, minutes of some of the hardest and fastest playing ever viewed by local fans. . Bellingham scored the first point when Yanderford shot a basket from a difficult position, causing the crowds to go completely wild. The team kept the lead all through the first half, ending it with-two baskets and two free throws, a total of (• points, while Ellensburg had •aptured two baskets. •Yanderford started the second half by making a basket in the first minute of play, after which Ellensburg immediately got a burst of speed and shot in six points, making them 10, also giving them the lead, which they lost when l gt;ellinghant made a basket and tied the score. The s gt;joro remained tied until the last few minutes of the third quarter, when the local "five" forged -ahead.-.and made shot after shot from every position on the floor. The last few seconds of the play was very'interesting, the losing team trying hard to catch up, but with no avail. The Bellingham Normal outplayed their opponents from the start, being faster and lighter, and having the advantage of the larger gym floor. They played all around the heavier players of the Ellensburg Normal. Captain Victor Hughes kept the Ellensburg team on the defense most of the game by his continued shooting. Time after time he would throw for the bas.ket from one side of the floor and beat the opponents to the ball shooting again from the other side. Vic Hughes is of the hardest workers on the team and is having hard luck at present getting baskets. The entire game was considered by basketball fans as being a very clean one, there being only one personal foul made in the first half and less than eight in the whole game. Line-up: Bellingham.

SAD EFFECTS OF HOME BREW ON THE EDITOR Somebody sent the editor of the Pumpkin Center Star a few bottles of home brew, and the same day he received a marriage notice and a copy for an auction sale. Here is the result: W gt;m. -Tones and Miss Lucy Anderson were offered at public auction at my farm, one mile east of a beautiful cluster of roses and two white calves before a background of farm implements too numerous to mention in the presence of about 70 guests, including two milk cows, six mules and one bob sled.

The 7B Science class is very busily engaged in making charts of the different cones. A very unusual treat was given the 7thA Science class on Thursday afternoon, when they were allowed to use the machine for throwing pictures on the screen in Mr. Philippi's room in connection with their study of days.

(A Synopsis) —Mary B. Egbert..... The things I think, the things 1 feel Are known to me as very real; They form an inner life apart I'i'om all material forms of art. My brother's thoughts I may not know, Not even those of friend or foe. Until express'd by tongue or pen. I'n comprehensive terms to men. Amotions too may burn within. Unknown to strangers, kith or kin, Till we by word or deed impart The secret treasures of our heart. Herein doth lie our u^e of style For by its use, we reconcile The outer form with inner truth. Style's outward body visible Must be to man infallible Expressive of emotions mine As well as thoughts and felings thine In written words it must appear And not by sounds thai men can hear. If mortal mind is then inIpress'd By what he finds in words express'd The term of clearness is applied On which for meaning he relied. If his emotions are impressed It comes thru Force by Style possess'd. The niiin aesthetic too may feel Response within to Style's appeal, And this impressing tptality : Is Elegance','undoubtedly. This outward body's built of marks Of dots and circles, lines and arcs, They indicate to man some sound Artkulative organs found. These sounds make words that by consent And common usage now present The unrealities obscure With clearness in our literature. Our language then, to man conveys, Emotions, thoughts and thus portrays By Clearness. Force and Elegance Our intellectual advance. The source of words, we would suggest Is men who know and speak the best. Our words must be of good repute Have meanings men dare not dispute. Xo local terms nor technical Should mar our language vehicle, And present usage too mush share A part in our selective care. Xow ni.arks make words, and words we find, Form sentences of ev'ry kind. When groups of sentences unite .To form a paragraph in type, ;And paragraphs make larger Wholes Embracing all within their folds, We have our body visible. Before the whole is well allied Three principles must be applied. The first of these is Unity The oneness of reality; Made visible by human art in which our words are but a part. All thoughts must cluster round about One central point and not without. A second principle is Mass Arresting sight ere it can pass, Applied externally by norm To give o u r outer body form. Our third, Coherence is the last Relating parts and binding fast, By striking out all useless draff. Each sentence, words and paragraph. Tii meanings, well denoted, stand Our source of all from ev'ry land. Our choice of tools, connoted well Emotions keen must fully tell.

The correct reading is as follows: "Under the 30-10 plan less money would be raised on a distrk-t basis, more would be raised on a statewide unit while the county tax would remain the same." ST.

There are all sorts of bores, dry bores, chatty bores, scrappy bores, gluan bores, etm., etc. etc. Up here we have all the fifty-seven varieties: The field is too wide. Let's narrow it. Consider the class-room bore; he studies not, neither does he think. He knows more than the instructor himself and asks that dignitary to "stop and think." He interrupts an explanation to prose on about "putting it another way," or "in other words," or "that is to say." "While another person is reciting he shakes his head and waves his hand aloft. When not arguing he reads the Saturday Evening Post. Verily, he is the biggest bore. -. Then there is the "cute" girl bore; the little "cut-up" who laughs and whispers and pinches.and jumps. She is convulsed with laughter at her own witticisms. Her contributions to the discussion are not very illuminating, and her grades are D and C. She is very sensible compared with the third type, the borrowing bore. It would not be so bad if this bore stopped at dimes and fountain pens and note paper. It's when he or she begins to borrow lesson plans and reading reports that we get tired. Moral courage is a nice thing to have around but we hate to trot it out every day in refusing the borrowing bore. We could hold this talk for an hour or two. We just remember that Ave are being the worst of all bores, ourselves—a complaining bore. B. S.N. S. MOVIES. TILLIE. That Avas Mary Anne's best chum's name.Tillie was crazy over the movies. She had seen "The Lost Soul" for 24 consecutive Sunday evenings without missing a single installment. She had a framed picture of Douglass Reed over her bureau and a picture of Wallace Chaplin in her locket. She was secretly convinced that she was a great tragic actress. " I t makes me mad, she said to Mary Anne. "They scold us for going to the movies. They've got a machine an' an operator and everything up here. If they'd put on a few good films Ave'd all flock to see 'ein." •"'.•... They took Tillie's advice and sliOAA^ed "Our Mutual Friend." Tillie and Mary Anne heard about it and sniffed, "High brow! Not for us. They Avent to see "The Infernal Triangle," and afterAvards, "Why Willie Left Home." "Our Mutual Friend" Avas shown to a good many empty seats. It Avas a good play, too. Plenty of thrills, action, suspense, romance. And you Avouldn't come to see it. . Are Ave the four and one-half percent after all? Not AAdien Ave turn from the screen version of a masterpiece to the witnessing" of silly, unenduring trash. B. S. N. S. HAIL ANID FAREWELL f gt;0 AVE ONLY imagine it or is the sky really grayer and gloomier than it AA^as last Aveek. The campus certainly looks bleak and lonelA'. The halls are darker and chillier. Even this poor old paper looks bare and woe-begone. A good many of us tiptoe by Boom 216 with averted faces and a queer, catchy feeling in our throats; We look as if we had lost our best friend. Well, we have lost her—for six long months. Who Avas it that said, "Parting is such sAveet sorrow?" Whoever it was, he was all Avrong. All wrong. Since the announcement of Dr. Nash's coming resignation, no bloAv has fallen so heavily on the school as Miss Edens going aAvay. Everyone who loves her, and that means everj^one who'knows her, feels as if a vital part of the school AArere missing. The poor Messenger class, in particular, feels the solid earth caA*e in and the Avails begin to tumble doAvn. An infallible test for judging a teacher; ask the taught. And, in Miss Edens' case, Ave all answer in chorus, "She's our ideal; jolly and light-hearted, hard'working and sincere, frank and sympathetic. She is the best ever." Cheer up! She's coming back. That's some consolation. We'll be good Avhile you're away, Miss Edens. We'll forget all the slang Ave knoAV, eliminate " a i n ' t " and "he don't," and develop astounding vocabularies. Never more shall the split infinitive or that old sneak, the dangling participle, ruin our force and clearness. Not once shall "grim reaper" or "in our midst" profane these pages. Bon voyage! (Avhich is all the French AA^e know, and we hope it's all right.) Have a AAronderful time and enjoy your Avell earned rest to the fullest. You deserve it. But be sure to come back to Normal next September, just brimming OArer Avith energy and subjects for feature stories. A hearty AArelcome to our neAv Critic. We Avish her the best thing possible—that she be like Miss Olive Edens. On our OAAII this week. Like it? TO BE HELD TONIGHT Tonight at 7:15 the Seniors will congregate in the auditorium to enjoy a program of class talent, and a new year mixer. Among the numbers will be: stunts, songs, play of the entertainment and Hall's quartet, readings by Nell Henry, and "Bee" Dahlquist; dance numbers by Walton Biggerstaff. For muscially inclined students, Williams Normal Orchestra has promised to play several modern classic pieces. Then for the gymnasium, lots of new games, and ••splendiferous" excitement, followed by abundant refreshments. The committees are as follods: Games—Miss Mary Long, Marion Collier. Befgreshments—Mary Collins, Esther Windley, Ralph Miller. Social—Mary Wood, Margaret Spaight and Estill Cain. B. S. N. S. Porter (to Miss Edens): "It's getting late, ma'am. Don't you think it's time for you to retaliate?" r gt;. s. 1ST. S. Mr. Hunt: "What do you mean by) dairy products?" . Student: "Oh, milk, eggs, cottage chees and' other vegetables." A stirring address was delivered at last Wednesday's assembly by Professor E. J. Klemme, of our own faculty. Mr. Klemme is widely knoAvn throughout the state and everywhere that he is known he is regarded as a platform lecturer of the highest ability. Professor Klemme is a member of our Extension department and it is largely due (to his work in this field that the Bellingham State Normal has such a Avide and prominent reputation as ah institution of higher learning. Professor Klemme's message was on the theme "How Old Art Thou?" He dealt with his subject not as age is regarded as physical years, but from age in worth and experience. The students were one-hundred percent attentive to 'Mr. Klemme's remarks. At times the audience Avould be doubled up in laughter at his humor, which is of an exceedingly individual type, at other times they would be held, tense when some vital points were given to them. There were intervals during the address when if a pin should have been dropped on the assembly floor it Avould have been plainly audible. — B. S. N. S. Gossips are the spies of life.

Mr. Kolstad lias been doing much research work on this line for the last few years and he has yet found only enough material for a small pamphlet. As an example, Mr. Kolstad said his psychology instructor when she woke up in the morning and heard the whistles blow, would see a dark, pui'pleish streak flash across the draperies. She saw sounds, in other words. A famous French philosopher says the French vowels are to him colored. While speaking French the colors' of each vowel pass before him. Mr. Kolstad says they have on record the case of a young design teacher, whenever she ran out of designs she would attend either a syphonie concert or an opera. As she listened, the music would take different forms and designs. She would take these down as they came to her. Different types of music, of course, would furnish different types of designs. This is called Synaestesia, and it means simply this, the arousal of secondary sensation through primary sensation". The nerves from various sense organs are so close to each other that the vibrations of one are transformed over to stimulate others. B. S. N. S.

There are very few Normalites who do not know Sam, but the fact that he is going to play on the fat man's basketball team may help to identify him to those who are not numbered among his acquaintances. When interviewed by a Messenger reporter, Mr. Ford was very modest, and only after much persuassion divulged information concerning his past experiences. Mr. Ford graduated from Ellensburg high school in 1912, with high honors, not only in scholarship but in athletics, having been captain of both the football and basketball teams. He entered the pre-medical school of the State University in the fall of 1912, but was forced to withdraw on account of sickness. He earned his way while at the University ' by machine-shop and paper work. After leaving the Univer-servecl an apprenticeship in the Seattle- Astoria Machine Works, graduating in 1914. At this point in the interview Sam seemed to have forgotten ye scribe, was apparently oblivious of his immediate surroundings, and appeared lost in contemplation of his land of memories. He continued his story as follows: '•After leaving the Seattle-Astoria Machine Works. I spent several months on a trip through the Southern states earning my way as a boomer-machinist. Those were the good old days. In June of 1917 I entered the army aviation service at Seattle. In August of the same year I became an instructor of aviation, mechanics at dielly Field, San Antonio, Texas. I was finally put in charge of a hangar and took advantage of this by taking flights in the air." A chuckle escaped Sam as he continued, "I didn't like to eat the Kelly Field dust and on my own hook took leave of absence for none and one-half days in an attempt to get across the pond, where I could get a little mud. I was escorted back to Kelly Field from Pittsburg by two officers and introduced to a pick and shovel. Outside of this incident I was always a good fellow. I was discharged from the army in January, 1919. Shortly afterwards I made a trip to Alaska as engineer on one of the A. P. Fisheries boats." Mr. Ford has just recently accepted a position with the Herald and Reveille, which will take up his spare time hours.

Old Bill Jones had a kicking mule He couldn't cure. The gol-dern fule Would kick all night and kick all day; Hoist up his heels while eatin' hay. He'd "hee haw" like a demon's screech; He'd hit at ev'rythin' in reach; And when his eyes saw nothin' there, He'd kick away' at the empty air. But Bill is sure the wisest cuss: He didn't raise a nasty fuss, Ner trade the nmle ter an innercent. He knew what conservation meant. He fixed a harness, strong and tight,- Till that mule's heels was a wondrous sight, And then, with pulleys, belts and wheels, He utilized them wasteful heels. At every kick the wheels would turn; He pumped the water, ran the churn, Did the washin', sawed, the wood, Ground the feed and pround it good; Chawed the pigs to sausage meat; Baled the hay and threshed the wheat: Dug the ditches, laid the tile; Stretched the wire fence more'n a mile; Chopped the silage, shred the corn; Milked the cows both night and morn; Turned, the cattle out to graze; Dried the wash on stormy days; He ran a little dynamo, And, as his feet zipped to and fro, They stored the wily 'lectric juice In batteries for future use: So house and bam were lighted well, With current left enough to sell, Till no one need to go without, 'Who lived within ten miles about. In fact, Bill Jones grew rich and fat, Which isn't to be wondered at. He'd caught the secret of the hour, The harnessin' of wasted power.

He visited Weiuvtchee and Okanogan county schools and gave a forceful and entertaining address at the Omak high school to a very large audience. The high school is a splendid, modern building and the people take a great deal of interest in their schools. Mr. Hoppe will give an evening entertainment on Saturday, February 11. *t Mnkilteo, Wash. Two extension classes have recently been organized. A class in Sedro- Woolley. which has an enrollment of thirteen and Miss Long, from the Physical Education Department, as a teacher, was started January 81. On February 3, a class in penmanship was started at Burlington. Miss Cragg will teach the class. At present there arc twelve members. Mr. Coiighlin spoke on the 30-10 plan and gave a community lecture to a large, audience at Rome last Tuesday evening. Lin Henderson, a University of Washington student and a Phi Delta Theta fraternity man registered at Normal last week. We are informed by two Home Economics girls that Mr. Kibbe displayed great coinage last week. He attended a luncheon given by them. A group of girls from the Music department and a reader from the Expression department will furnish the program for the Sunday evening Forum at Vila hie, February ID."' Saturday, February 4, Mr. Hoppe and MY. Klemme will speak at the Principal's meeting of Whatcom county. The February Exchange is being proof read in the Extension office. Mr. Klemme addressed the P. T. A. meeting held at Custer, on Tuesday, January Ml. Another class in music has been organized at Olympia. John Henry Lyons, wli owas so popular at Normal last summer, will be the teacher. The Nichols Hall girls are planning a party in honor of Mrs. Nicnols, next Saturday evening. Rubv Sunde spent the week-end in Seattle. Edith Linde and Gertrude Seniles spent the week-end at the home of the hitter's uncle, L. J. Senilis, at Laurel. Miking in a northeasterly for two and a half hours is rather chilly, say they. Carol Rahskopf was the dinner guest of Alic-e William, Friday evening. Ruth Church liked to throw snow balls. Last .week when the ground was covered with flakey white snow, the temptation to throw just a tiny snow-bail at her chum was too great to be overcome. Ruth threw the snowball. That snowball did the meanest thing! instead of hitting the chum it flew straight to Ruth's supervisor. That is why we put "like" in the past tense. Helen Alhnan and Fay McKiddy packed up and boarded the train for Auburn and home last Friday. They had a "dandy" time. We are informed by two Home Economics girls that Mr. Kibbe did a heroic deed last Friday. The girls say that he attended the luncheon they gave. Miss Fay Bruneau, who is bound for Chile, South America, where she will do missionary work, is leaving New York on February 4. Steamer letters sent to Miss Bruneau will reach her addressed to S. S.

Last Saturday—sometime between 12 and 1 o'clock, Mr. Rahskopf found himself in a sad predicament. All said morning lie had been listening to the eloquent orations of the champion debaters. Of course he was intensely interested, but when the gt;eloek indicates lunch time, on's mind is apt to turn to thoughts of sandwiches and pickies. Mr. Kahskopf's did. lie thrust his hand into his pockets, while pictures of delectable luncheons danced before his eyes. But the pictures vanished when his repeated searches were rewarded with only five coppers. The sad truth must be faced. He had forgotten his purse. Meanwhile the remaining debaters were playing the parts of good fairies. They flew downstairs and when they ..•ame back they were carrying a queer looking bundie. When Mr. Rahskopf returned to his office, wearing a look of resignation, he found the dcl.aters busily studying their respective speeches and then looking at his desk he saw a bottle of milk, decorated with a how of green ribbon, standing beside a box containing—well, we will leave the rest to your hungry imaginations. Suffice it to say that good fairies know that even Normal professors enjoy feeds of peanuts and doughnuts and'apples and sandwiches. ALKISIAH CLUB. February 2, 1022, the members of the Alkisiah club enjoved a verv delightful program, after which a dainty and well planned luncheon was served by Reta Card, Marjorie Dueber and Johanna Miller. The program was as follows: Music By the Club Debate, Resolved, that the policy pursued by the United States in the Philippines is the best policy that could have been pursued. Negative. Affirmative Marie Tinker Marjorie Dueber Dorothy Zinzer Edith McCall Music Club Story. Philippine Setting Reta Gard Ue.-ent Current Events Julia Murray Club Songs Club ALITHEA CLUB. An interesting meting of the Alethia club was held Thursday, January 2G. The first part of the evening was taken up with the election of oficers, as follows: President—Frances Still. Vice President—Mildred Dawkins. Secretary—(«ladys 01so?i. Treasurer—'Edna Carnine. Sergeant at Arms—Ruth Oitchell. Club Critic—Brigitta Karkkonen. Club Reporter—Martha Anderson. Later in the evening a very fine program was enjoyed: Book Review Ruth Gitchell Legend of William Tell Brigitta Kankkonen Travels in Switzerland Mildred Dawkins GIVES MUSICAL TREAT A musical treat was given to the Normal students at last Monday's assembly. Charles Wakefield Cadmen, one of the leading coiu.posers and pianists in the world, gave a short lecture coupled with three numbers on the piano. Harrison Raymond, our local well-known voice instructor, added to the worth of the program, by singing three songs to Mr. Cadmen's accompaniment. On the Friday evening previous Mr. Cadmen gave a concert at the Metropolitan opera house in Seattle. He is an artist of absolutely the first rank. His appearance at the Normal was somewhat of an accident. He was visiting at the home of Henry P. Jukes for a short time. Mrs. Spratley of our music department, invited him to give a program- at the Normal and he accepted. Mr." Cadnuii has contributed much to the musical world as a composer. In his study of music he has especially emphasized the field of Indian Music. He is perhaps the greatest authority in that line today. In opening his program. Mr. Cadmen gave the following: 1. Pompadour's Fan. 2. Love Song (by himself). 3. Wolf Dance (based on a Blackfoot Indian melody). The Musician followed these splendid numbers with an illuminating talk on the subject of Indian music. He declared that tlie study of Indian music began but thirty-five'years ago. Contrary to a general opinion, Indian music has a distinct value to composers. Forty per cent of all the material gathered by musical investigators from the Indians possesses interest and value for composers. Mr. Ca;!maii had with him several -urioiis Indian instruments, among them the fiagolet. On this popular instrument he played four short numbers. The tones which he produced were particularly mellow and fascinating. It is interesting to know that Indian children have proven more precocious musical students than white children. Concluding the program, Mr. Harrison Raymond sang the following delightful numbers: 1. I Hear a Thrush at Eve. 2. From the Land of Sky-Blue Water. 3. At Dawn. B. s. N. S. HOW TO DETERMINE HYPNOTIC SUBJECTS In hypnotism one should always make a test to find out if the person is susceptible to hypnotism. There are, of course, certain types of persons that under no circumstances can be hypnotised. We make this test as soon as the person comes on the stage, look him straight in the eyes and say slowly and distinctly. "You are falling backwards." If the person so much as waves he is susceptible. Now suggest a thought to him. If he does not respond, repeat with emphasis. If he can In- hypnotised he will take up the suggestion and will be in your power. You now can suggest anything and he wiil respond. The key to hypnotism is the power of suggestion. To remove the thought or suggestion, a snap of the fingers will remove your power. He loses your suggestion and he will immediately return to normal. B. S. N. S. First Student: "Mr. Kolstad can put people in trances." Second Student: "Don't I know it?

It is called Early American Imprints. These books were all printed between the years 1770 and 1830, and it is due to a sale held by a large eastern firm that it was possible to acquire these very valuable books. The printing and working of these books are peculiar to the extreme, for instance a girl is always alluded to as a "damsel" or a "pious female." : This set includes works in the following: novels, poetry, journals, catchecisms, essays, dictionaries of various vocations and several different editions'of the New Testament. From an educational standpoint, these books are especially useful, both from a literary and historical view. They trace very thoroughly the growth and formation of America's great part in literature. Many critics maintain that America had no distinct literary achievements of her own, but if these same _ critics would thoroughly investigate this one set of books they would be convinced otherwise. Every student in school who is interested in what America has done in a literary way, should not fail to investigate this set of books. B. S. N. S. SENIOR MIXER. What ho! Ye Seniors, great and small!

A torn sail snapped and cracked like a "young cannon." He opened his eyes wide and sat up in bed, reaching for his watch, which was in his coat pocket at the foot of his bunk. It was 11:45 o'clock. He was to go on watch at 12, midnight, and watch the Chinese quarters until 4 a .m. The foc'le door slid back, and a tall, bulky figure entered. The man walked up to Johnny's bunk, looking down smilingly. "Come, kid," he said. "It's time for you to go on watch and its a merry time I aim thinking you are going to have, too. You better take my oil skin for its raining and blowing to beat blue blazes. Can you shoot?" Johnny told him that he could. "Just peel your eyes along this." He pulled a forty-four automatic from his hip pocket. "If any of them Chinks or Mexicans get canary—well, don't hesitate to make them acquainted with a little hot lead. A flock of hungry gungs are following the ship, and they are crying to beat Hades, and a little fresh Chink of Mex- ' ican meat wouldn't hurt their craws any." He removed his dripping oil skins, and laid the automatic on the bunk. "I am goinff to the galley and wet inv whistle with a hot wash of coffee, then maybe I'll get in a little poker game, a pooch of a fine game is on down in the fishermen's quarters. Six •hundred in silver was on the table till the ship began rolling, and it had to be removed. Bv holy Mount Pavlof! If one of them fishermen hasn't four twenty-dollar gold pieces, and where he o-ot them, I ' l r b e cow-kicked if I can tell. But I said to myself, "Gold, why tempt old Swede Carlson? I'll jingle those four twenties in my pocket before we hit Unimak Pass. Eh, kid ?" Johnny had gotten out of the bunk, but was having a hard time dressing, because the ship rolled so hard. He hung onto the bunk with one hand and pulled on his shirt and trousers with the other. It amused Swede Carlson hugely to see Johnny stagger about. "Were you ever at sea before, kid?" Johnny told him that he had been to sea once before. "Once, vou say. Well you will get your sea-legs in a day or two. I am going now and if anything should happen— well, shoot, see? But if you are afraid to play Avith that little toy aiitp-matic. you just yell down in the fishermen's quarters, and old Swede Carlson will come and show you how to mix things in the hell-hole." Johnny noticed Swede Carlson's mammoth chest and muscles, which reminded him of Jack London's "Sea Wolf." Johnny asked Swede Carlson if this was his first trip North. Swede Carlson lit a cigarette, looked at Johnny and laughed. "Hell, kid! I am so well known on Bering Sea that the fish call me by my first name. You have just three minutes before you go on watch, so I am going to tell you a little story. "This makes—" they both fell against the bunk when the ship plunged suddenly—" as I was going to say, this makes my fourteenth trip North. I have been through Unimak Pass twenty-six times. The least I made in one season was $12. Last season I made $2,000. I had that much when I hit Seattle last September. Well, I have only twenty dollars left. That is the way it goes, kid. The more a fellow makes the . 711 ore lie spends. These darn cannery men don't care for a fisherman. The first season, I and my pardner were capsized in a storm. My partner was drowned, and I went for three days without anything to eat, before I was picked up. In a blow last year, me and my pardner got too close to a sand-bar near the mouth of the Nushagak river, and the boat capsized. I escaped again, but my partner washed away with . a giant., breaker. When I reached the cannery, the first thing the superintendent asked me was, 'Where is the boat ?'" . The door slid back and a sailor nodded to Swede Carlson'. A tremendous roar of wind, flappnig sails, and a wild sea spewing and simmering like boiling water, came from outside. Johnny hurriedly stuck the automatic in his pocket, slipped on the oil skins and boots, and followed Swede Carlson out on deck. Swede Carlson and Kay the sailor went into the galley, and slid the door. A streak of yellow gleamed through a crack of the galley door. Johnny was left alone on deck. It was black dark, and the giant waves boiled up and Avashed over the decks. Ghostly figures crept around the masts and by the railing. Aloft in the rigging,, the two and three steel cables hummed and sang like a trunk phone line. With the aid-of a small flashlight, he found his way along the slippery decks to the Chinese . quarters. He crawled through a narrow door, and started to descend the steep steps. On each side of the steps ropes had been stretched. Johnny hung onto the ropes and entered the Hell-hole. The poker game was still on, the players hung onto the stationary table and dealt the cards between the plunges of teh ship. On deck the air was pure, with a tinge of salt, but here in the Hell-hole a sour, stale smell, which made him sick at his stomach, hit his nostrils. He walked doAvn the narrow aisles between the bunks as quickly as possible. In every bunk,, a Chinaman or a Mexican rolled with the ship's motion. Most of them were smoking long pipes, probably opium. In one corner, to themselves," eight or ten Hawaiians had taken bunks. They were still setting up, half naked. Three of them were playing string instruments and sweet sounds of Aloha filled the Hellhole. Johnny passed the gambling table again on the way out, and was invited to "get in."' He didn't tell them but he knew that he did not know the first rules of the game. .Amid much tobacco smoke and jabbering he left them, and went on deck. The wind was gaining force, and the waves leaped above the ship, pouring their frosty tops across the decks. T-wise he fell when the ship tipped so the deck came up to meet him. His face was dripping salt water when he entered the fo'/le. He sat down on the edge of his bunk. His brain throbbed and a feeling of being terribly far away haunted him. Victor, his chum, slept in a double bunk in the corner across from him. Victor had hung a red curtain in front of his bunk and Johnny could see the light still burned above his pillow. Terrible thoughts flashed through his mind, what if the ship should sink? He asked himself over and over. His teeth chattered, and he wanted to do something, but what could he do? He walked over to Victor's bunk, and lifted the curtain. Victor lav very quietly, sleeping. The roll of the ship did not disturb him and the expression of adventure which had been on.his face ever since they sailed from Seattle, had turned into a half-smilc. Victor's white sweater with the vellow letter, his college colors, hung on a nail over his bunk. "What a contrast!" Johnny thought. Down in the Hell-hole were the rakings of the underworld of San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle, but here was a young American, a college boy, the type that the American nation depends upon for the future. tie turned the light out and went on deck again. Some of the sails had been lowered, and broken cables swished across the deck. He was caught by one and thrown for ten feet, up against the railing. His arm and side ached, but he crawled through the narrow door again, B H 5 S 5 5 2 5 2 5 2 5 2 5 2 5 2 5 2 5 2 3 a H2B2S3HH2HaHHSHHaSlHHHaHHHBa "ALL NORMAL STUDENTS SATURDAY NIGHT" CECIL B.

The poker game was over, and everyone was in bed. The lights still burned, and a half-dozen pop bottles rolled around under the bunks. Tobadeo cans and rubbish slid around with the motion of the ship. The timbers of the ship cracked and moaned until Johnny expected the next breaker to tear the ship to pieces. On his way back to the foc'le .be peeped down into the fishermen's quarters. The game was still on and Swede Carlson and Kay, the sailor, were still on "the trail of the four twenties." It was his last round, when he came out of the Hell-hole deathly sick. His head ached, and his stomach hurt. He went as near the railing as possible and "fed the fish." At least sea-sickness had overcome him. Back aft, he heard the Captain swearing, he heard him say that the ship was six hundred miles from shore and one hundred miles out of her course. Away off to the east a streak of light showed. It was a pale, pale light, which gradually grew brighter,' seeming to come in little jets, with slight and sudden shocks. It made the heavens look as if they were being illuminated like a transparency, and as if lamps with flames were being raised. Little by little, behind the shapeless gray clouds, carefully raised with mysterious caution for fear of disturbing the mournful turmoil of the sea. Johnny awoke the relief watch and entered the foc'le. Victor was awake, and looked at him and smiled. "Isn't this great, this roll I mean. I can sleep just dandy." He asked Johnny what made him look so white around the "gills," but Johnny did not tell him. He rolled into his hunk with his face to the wall. His heart seemed big and swollen. He went to sleep mumbling Vic-Vic-Vic. -^-George Kermit Stephens. On Unintentional Descent. Oh, many's the ups succeeding the downs, For the slick sidewalks shimmer with sleet.

Berg Acquits Himself With Glory. S Returns to Bellingham After Delightful Vacation in the South. Campus Day, on its second annual occurrence, was by all odds the £• most successful event of the school year. The spirit of the students was ?;• excellent, and co-operation between everyone produced a "spick and A span*' Campus. The program of fun beginning with the eight o'clock 5 assembly and lasting through the theater part at the American, was ; -packed with enjoyment for all. | ;; Festivities began with the assembly at 8:00, when the hit of the day ; was made, namely the burlesque given by "Six Glowing Boys", featur- ; i n g the prettiest sets of legs among the male gender. The staff, under ^Generalissimo Berg, was introduced among, various flourishes. After ••general instructions the army was properly equipped and turned loose on the waste arid debris. The picnic' at noon was a caloric as well as a palatable success. Full justice was done all "grub". ; "/ Another assembly at one o'clock : : set everyone for the afternoon -y.'; sports. These took place on Wal- -; do Field and were a "riot" of fun g for all. The ball games between ;; students and faculty for both men and women aroused deep hostilities and the bloody battles were Hard fought, fast and furious. An excellent program of sports contests under the direction of Dorothy Irvin and Miss Keller kept everyone happy all afternoon. Feature attractions included the stupendous bicycle race between faculty members, Mr. Bond proving the betting favorite. Ben Hur's only rivals and equals set the crowd positively "mad" with the daring, killing, and side-splitting Chariot Race. What might be called a Relay Carnival was staged by competing groups of the students, it was at least composed largely of relay .contests and games The winners, although of doubtful ability and deservance, were awarded balloons with squawkers that certainly squawked. An evening with Reginald Denny and various varieties of student foolishness provided the grand climax at the American Theater. Romeo and Juliet heart-rendingly re-enacted the fetching balcony scene and brought the house into tears, tiers upon tiers of laughter. The embryo tragedians were great stuff, as comedians. There were various sundry and "Sundstrom" rumors that Campus Day officially at least, began during the wee small hours of the night before. Both class presidents were able to be about on Campus Day, so it has been assumed that no serious casualties were entailed. BERG REFEREES Mr. TJerg was referee of a Boy Scout encampment at Woodland Park in Seattle the past week-end. Demonstration of a complete camp.equipment was given. On Saturday, the boys participated in a Field Day. Two thousand scouts attended the meet. E E AREJNNOUNCED Successful Contestants Will Meet Last Quarter's Winners Assembly May 20.

Miss Crawford Now Recovering From Illness in Sanitarium Pupils and teachers in the training school were very glad to see Miss Crawford back last week after an absence of several weeks. She found however, that she was not strong enough yet to take over her old duties, so is now recuperating in Rest Haven Sanitarium, Sj'dney, B. 0.

Miss Edens is the author of a story, "Heart and Hand," appearing f in the June McCall's Magazine.

She says that is was pleasant from a recreational and a professional point of view. She met a number of friends with whom she had worked at the School of Education, University of Chicago, who are now on the faculty of the U. of California at Berkeley. She attended the Mission play with them, at San Gabriel. ' There were friends and interesting experiences at every stop. Miss Rich visited the appointment bureaus at the University of California, at Los Angeles, and Stanford, gathering ideas which will tend toward making the work of the bureau here of greatest use to the students. Miss Rich says that California is a delightful place to play in, but she would rather work in Bellingham. She has come back convinced that we have something to do here, and that what we are tiying to do follows the best lines of philosophy and science of education. The course in photography, which was given for the first time last summer, will be offered again this summer quarter. The course is a two period a week laboratory course designed mainly for the study of photography from the standpoint of the amateur and will take in all phases of photographic work. Two credits will be given for the course. The fee will be about one dollar and a quarter which will cover the cost of material used. Mr. Ruckmick plans to divide the class into groups and each group will work out a certain phase of work in the photographic line which will be amplified by supplementary reading material. There will be a few field trips to places which will be good composition for landscape photography. All of the possibilities of the surrounding district that will lend themselves to amateur photography .will be- used. The training school shop has been equipped with a new enlarging machine, also a new automatic printer. Students will get experience in making enlargements and a few lessons on the way in which the printing of photographs is accomplished. They will also study the making of sepia-tones on photographs and the use and compounding of developing solutions such. as might be done at home by amateurs. The victors in extempore preliminaries held Tuesday evening, were as folloAvs: June Wetherell, Grace Jac-obson, Borghild Jensen, August Zoet, Edward Dingerson, and Leonard Kep-pler. Their topics were: "The Nation's Chief Asset," "The Nation's First Citizen," "The Greatest Living American." Mrs. Vaughan, Miss Ullin, Miss Spieseke, Mr. iKibbe, and Miss Madden judged the contest. The six speakers will compete in today's assembly. Three topics will be conservative; three radical. From this group, three will be eliminated, and three will compete with the winners of last quarter's extempore contest in assembly, May 20.

The play, called "Forest Wonders", was taken from the Italian folk play, "Forest Spring/ 'by Constance D'Arcy Mackay. In the action of the play the children picked out the poems, songs and dances which they had enjoyed and which fitted best with the scenes in the forest, with the trees, grasses, birds, flowers, mountains and moon. The dances were tation exercises that they have had had in their gymnasium work. The play opens with the entrance of three children who have come to the forest to gather flowers. Two of them go on, but the other stays and sees the wonders of the forest. The complete program is as follows: Enter; Amata, Giovanni, Fiam-ma,- gathering flowers. Enter, the Spirit of the Wood.

This .condition, if present in all schools of higher alarming one, and education, is an a complete diagnosis of our curriculum should be made with the view of adopting corrective measures. "Time to kill but not one minute for current problems" could very well be applied to a majority of the students of this and other schools. There is time for loafing in t h e halls, t h e r e are spare minutes for horseshoes or tennis, there is ample time for strolls here and there, but there i s not a minute t o give toward intelligent citizenship. Descendents of Ichabod Crane fail dismally when they endeavor to dis? cuss political and industrial problems on a common level with the business and professional man. We claim' t h a t teaching is a profession, but, down deep in our hearts, we know t h a t very few of us undergo the preparation that warrants the t e rm applied to our chosen work. Indeed, we like the word profession and use it cjuite freely, although conscious all the time t h a t we are falling short in our preparation. There is no time like the present t o get started in this matter of keeping abreast of the times. Magazines and papers are crying for your patronage. The Presidential campaign will soon be in full swing. Thousands of coal miners out of work, on strike, are pushing their cause through the periodicals. Delicate foreign affairs in China, Nicaragua, and Mexico are thrashed out in the papers. The library with its scores of weekly and monthly magazines, is a regular gold mine of worthwhile contemporary information.

I n "Elmer Gantry," Sinclair Lewis has again driven his probing pen int o one of society's sore spots. He has snatched the mantle of traditional spiritual authority and omniscience from the shoulders of the conventional American divine and" vivisected the decidedly human being t h a t it shrouded. He shows us the other side of the stage and the strings t h a t move the puppets. Lewis is a realist, and is apt to be a bit indigestible to one who suddenly forsakes his diet of Zane Grey, Cm wood, Pollyanna piffle or Elinor Glynish sob-stuff, perhaps and probably more than a little irritating. But despite this, Lewis is well worth the effort it may require to read him: "Elmer Gantry" contains food for some very pertinent thinking. fWWVWWWWWVWWVWWWWWWVW Student Opinion VVV^tfVVVVtf^LW^AVy%V^%SVVVLV%V^flA%VW'.Vl^AV^A^A/ f w P Notebooks and Outlines ;fP; •; - : "Oh, Hello there!

What is a carnival except a crass explanation? Granted t h a t it has a certain a t t r a c t i o n by its very novelty. But, aside from this its compensations are few and small. Its tents and side shows are grotesque and barbaric. And, where is the romance of doubtful hot clogs and a hundred vile stenches? But it draws its quota of pleasure seekers, who eagerly catch at a few crumbs of artificial bliss. After all is said and done, isn't this just one more drug t h a t serves to keep the illusion of life from crumbling? I n a satirical article in the May munber of the American Mercury, a Mr. Gillespie deplores the fact that colleges confer degrees in subjects t h a t really are so much ballast. He says t h a t the Bellingham Parish Junior High School is offering a course in the a r t of automobile dodging. We wonder what Mr. Gillespie would t h i n k on hearing Gunnar Berg's lament that no Doctor Degrees follow Boy Scout training. An editorial of last week takes space with the subject of "petting." "To pet or not to pet," t h a t is their question. Is this a question? Aside from promiscuity, can it not rather be termed a biological necessity? If you would be proper and understood, don't call it petting, or m u g g i n g - call it love! Friends are people Avhose peculiarities are identical with your own. After all, the human race is p r e t ty good considering what it came up from. Perhaps the greatest discovery of 1927 is t h a t angels have no business except in heaven. ^JjMi^ti-]^^^ mere ^Im^i^i^ta^ijiii^eA fftftilfft students ^ m s s a "" ••••-••-• •- - are interested in any subject they'll t a k e notes of their own accord and will outline any number of pages. If t h e instructors aren't original enough t o think up new subjects for notebooks and books t o outline why must t h e students waste valuable time in t r y i n g t o collect material for a notebook when some one else already has t h e material compiled and ready for use? Why should students have to make detailed outlines on subjects when these outlines may be purchased very cheaply and are more complete? This business of outlining and of making notebooks should be done done away with and the students should .have the right t o decide what subjects they wish to make notebooks on and outlines for. If this could be practiced for awhile we'd .find out what we really want t o keep for future reference and our school life wouldn't be one grand rush from morning until night, trying to get a number of chapters copied for a certain class or in compiling a notebook t h a t has t o have so much and •no more in it t o please some teacher. — —-o— Many students were very much disgusted with the article t h a t appeared on our editorial page last week. The subject of p e t t i n g is not discussed in the higher class college papers any more as it has been discussed pro and con for years and people will not change their opinions on t h e matter no matter how much is said either for or against. Why should such a cheap article be given as much space, and space on t h e editorial page a t t h a t , when there are so many things to write about t h a t are of interest to the students as a whole? : Just such an article, with almost identical wording ; w i l l be foundSin any cheap magazine t h at a s ;Iow T ^ jt-ft ft gt;: Ourft iNorinai;;--:?

Today is the first day of the Fifth annual meeting of the tree Normal teams in track, baseball and tennis. I t is the custom of the schools to be hosts to the other's teams every third year so it now comes the Viking's turn to extend the welcoming hand to Cheney and Ellensburg. The .first annual meeting was held in 1923 at Ellensburg, with the Vikings coming out as victors in track. Due to an agreement, the next two meets were held here at Bellingham with another victory scored by the Vikings in 1924. In '25 the victory went to the visiting Red Skins from Cheney. Last vyear the meet was held at Cheney and after a close competition Bellingham emerged the victor again. During these past five years a set of records has been set up. Of the fourteen records, Bellingham holds five; .'..-".••.,•.'. The records are as follows: Mile run—Reed, C, 4:42.2. Shot put—Large, B., 40»6.%". iOO-yard dash—-Fogarty, E, 10.4.

"ZEKE" IGNITES FUSE Don Patterson, curve ball artist, set the Wild Cats down Saturday morning S-2. Don's slants and hooks were way too good for the batsmen who faced him. Nine putouts were accredited via the strike-out route. "Zeke" McClurken, classy third baseman, started the fireworks in the third inning with a single, Stick - ney sacrificed him to second, and he scored on a double by Odell. The Vikings were hitting Mr. Haker, opposing pitcher, hard, but his support tightened at the crucical moment to save him trouble in the first part of the game. A base on balls, two stolen bases, and two singles counted for two more runs in the fifth. In the meantime the best that Ellensburg could do was to get thre hits off the stingy Patterson in six innings. The eighth and ninth innings proved disastrous for the Wild Cats. Cooper singled and Wingard hit his second home run in as many days, to score him. " In the' ninth inning "Zeke" caught hold of a fast one and poked the ball into the next lot for a home run, scoring two runs ahead of him. Jack Connars, fast outfielder for the opponents, hit a home run to count for Ellensburg's two tallies.

EDDIE HURLS FAST BALL Eighh Inning Wingard Hits Homer Odell Follows Example in Ninth Inning With Eddie Wingard on the hilltop pitching wonderful ball and receiving wonderful support, the Vikings triumphed over 'the Ellensburg Wildcats last Friday afternoon 5-4 in 10 innings. Ed had his fast ball hopping all ways ^averaging a strikeout an inning. In the third inning "Zeke" McClurken doubled to left, stole third, and went home on a wild pitch, for the first score. In the next inning Ellensburg started the fireworks with a single. The next man up sacrificed. A fielder's choice and an argument scored two runs for the Wildcats. In the next inning a double and an error scored for Bellingham to even the count. In the eighth Wingard put one outside the park for a home run and Odell repeated in the next inning for two more tallies. In the last half of the ninth the first Wildcat man up walked, Rubles, the next man up, and at the most inopportune time, hit the first pitched ball over the left field fence for a home run and tied the score. Thor's descendants seemed a little-peeved over the way they had been treated and proceeded to gather a couple of bingles and a walk in the next frame, scoring one run to win the game.

'•; '"But look at the rust!" exclaimed one Philo, who insisted on sticking yfco mores and pointed sticks for roasting weenies. "JTice, red-brown rust," replied Mr. Ruckmick, stroking the now hot-dog's side fondly. "HaveVyou had your iron today ?" To say they appreciated the meal is putting it very mildly, even if tea-hounds like Emmeline Moss and Sverre Arestad did insist on that beverage in place of coffee. Who wouldn't eat, after an exciting baseball game between Beighle's team and Ruckmick's, not to mention a treasure hunt, in which Maurice Thompson captured the. box of all-day suckers, which were all promptly seized by the infuriated mob at his heels. Mr. Ruckmick almost tossed Phil Sisk into Lake Samish, after the bold young gentleman had besmeared Vera Ginnette's face with charcoal till she looked like a minstrel show. A free-for-all charcoal fight then ensued, after which they visited the lake and rubbed each others faces vigorously with wet handkerchiefs. Thelma Butler and Vera Ginnette are ready to testify to the warmth of the lake waters, having done the noble deed of dipping for a real swim, while the would-be-sharpshooters among the fairer sex pointed away carefully at a Mississippi Relief fund badge with Alice Ling-ley's rifle. Planned or not, singing around a campfire inevitably happens at any picnic. The variety of songs was astounding, extending from the old favorite of "John Brown's Body" to the latest song hits. All that any Philo could add would be to say—"it was a darn good picnic," and "thanks" to Sverre Arestad, who ran.his trusty automobile out and in on so many trips, and insured transportation to most df the club members.

W. C. A. meeting, last Wednesday. When the foreigners, as all English and Americans are called, received word that the soldiers were coming, the women and children were put on the American and British gunboats. While they were on these boats it was necessary for them to fire into' the city to protect the American consular party, whose home was surrounded. While this was going on the party, consisting of twenty-two foreigners, fled over the wall. When the Southern soldiers had driven out the Northerners the missionaries hoped to be able to return to the city but intead of helping, as they hoped, the soldiers began looting their homes. They took out everything, including the windows and doors. After the soldiers had taken what they wanted they forced the mob to come and finish devastating the homes. The people of the city were kind to the foreigners and helped them as much as they could. The servants of the missionaries would hide them as soon as they heard the soldiers were coming. They supplied them with Chinese clothes and disguised them until their friends hardly knew them. Miss Whipple's brother and sister did not leave .the city until several days later. Only one American missionary, Dr. Williams, was killed. All of the rest reached Shanghai safely. From fear of the threats of the American government that they must be allowed to come out safely, the Chinese officials allowed them to leave. The missionaries and teachers are hoping that they may soon be able to return, until then native Chinese teachers are trying to carry on the work in some of the schools. The University has been completely destroyed, WOMEN'S MUSIC CLUB AND SYDNEY DIXON APPEAR IN ASSEMBLY Mr. Harrison Raymond conducted the Bellingham Women's Music club chorus in an entertaining program in the assembly Tuesday. After a group of songs by the chorus, Sydney Lawrence Dixon was enthusiastically received with his pleasing tenor voice. His two encores "Whip-poor-will" and "Little Mother of Mine," were equally appreciated. The audience was greeted with something new in the presentation of a "Fantasy on a Russian Folk Song," where the alternate mingling of the Chorus, piano and violin played by John Roy Williams, evolved a pleasing uniqueness. As a conclusion, a group of entertaining songs was presented by Mr. Dixon. — —o The Sophomore Class will sell hot clogs, ice cream, bars, and other tempting delicacies during the baseball game and Tri-Norinal meet. Bring "two-bits" and enjoy these luxuries. "W. A. A. Would Be Warblers," will have an opportunity to express their musical thoughts in the form of a W. A. A. Song. A special incentive is a trophy cup to be given to, the best song which will be sung at the Sport's luncheon, June 4. No organization is complete without a club song. Let's go! AT LAKE SAMISH Club Holds Quarterly Function Friday Evening at Resort. Last Friday the Thespian Club, boasting. of a perfect attendance, journeyed to Lake Samish to hold their quarterly picnic. With climatic conditions ideal and Thespian spirit rampant, the affair was easily the outstanding club event of the quarter. Swimming, baseball and horseshoes amused the club members until Miss Kinsman, popular Thespian sponsor, gave the call for "Eats." An informal program around the bonfire brought the happy party to an end. Graceful Violet Green Swallow on the Campus For grace and beauty when flying no bird on our campus compares with the Violet-green Swallow. He is a past master at flying, no angle being so sharp, no descent so rapid but that he can accomplish the act swiftly and gracefully. This beautiful creature is easily recognized by his pure white chin, breast and belly, his rich velvety bronze-green back and his dark, violet wings and tail. He is almost continually flying stopping only for short intervals on some wire or fence to twitter out his chattering song. The Violet-greens made their first appearance on our campus about April 2. They are a summer resident here and will be with us until next fall. Before the advent of white man upon Puget Sound, these birds commonly nested in deserted woodpecker holes and in natural cavities in trees. . Since the coming of man they have forsaken their ancient haunts and now occupy bird-boxes and crannies of buildings. The nest is made of dried grasses, with or without feathers. From four to six pure white eggs are laid. The song of this SwalloAV consists of twittering and creaking notes, as does that of the Barn Swallow. The twitterings are easily recognized and it is not difficult to tell this bird by his song. New birds to be seen on the campus during the last week are: Barn Swallow—May 12. Russett-backed Thrush—May 14. Pine Siskin—May 15. : o LOWERY HOUSE NOTES Dorothy Stearns, Gladys Brown and Elma Mustoner spent the last week-end a t home in Mt. Vernon. Agnes Skaglund visited her home in Sedro-Woolley during the week end.

XXII Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1923 ~ NO. 16 MAY TRY As was stated in last, week's Messenger, a new club has been organized in the school, known as the Bellingham Normal Drama Club. This club will combine study and interpretation of the drama. No regular meetings will be held by the club as a whole; but from a membership of fifty, casts will be selected for the study and presentation of some drama every quarter. In doing this the club is taking over the forma] class plays, as it has been authorized to do by the faculty organizations committee. No drama will be given this quarter, but the time remaining will be used in organization. Tryouts occur next week, Thursday and Friday, from 3 to 4:30 in room 308. The membership of this club is open to all, regai-dless of club or class affiliations. Each person appearing will be allowed three minutes in which to present some humorous or serious dramatic poem, sketch, story, dialogue, or scene from a drama which will give the committee a hint of his abilities. No manuscripts will be allowed, and no singing or pantomines will be substituted for the reading of lines. Several people may, if they desire, work toge- (Continued on Page Six) ST Mrs. Frank J. Shuler, of the National American Woman Suffrage association, has written Miss Woodard, the Dean of Women, to the effect that the association is planning to give Volumes 5 and 6 of the History of Woman Suffrage, handsomely bound in leather, to the woman student who writes the best essay on the subject, "How can woman best effect good citizenship." Miss Woodard hopes that a large number of the young women of the school will enter the contest. It costs nothing but the effort and time. The books are valuable since they cover the period from 1900 to 1920, just the time when the women of the Northwest were putting up the strongest fight for suffrage. Mrs. Ida Husted Harper spent three years in the preparation of these two volumes. Unlike some contests, .the very work involved is very much worth while. Not only are benefits derived from the practice in formal expression, but the reading and investigation required open up rivers of interest and value. Miss Woodard states that a committee of faculty women will act as judges and formulate the rules of the contest. It is thought best to launch the work immediately in order that the contest may close before the heavy rush at the end of the quarter. All young women wlio are interested are asked to see Miss "Woodard at once. MAY PETERSON, Who Will Sing at the Normal Wednesday Evening, January 24.

Miss Peterson, who is making her second trip to the coast, is well 'known here. Miss Peterson is die of nine children, daughter of a Methodist circuit rider who died when she was but a child. She worked her way thru high school and entered the Oshkosh normal which Miss Roberts was at that time attending. Miss Roberts remembers her as a charming, but unassuming girl with a very pleasing personality. Her first appearance was at Oshkosh. This was to raise funds for her training in Europe. When she had $300 more than passage money she sailed for Florence. There she studied under Mmc. Barroechia while at the same time earning a difficult living. She then went to Berlin where she studied under Fer-gussen. She came to America but was told to try opera, and returned to Europe to work under Jean de Reszeka. Miss Peterson made her debut at the Massenett festival at Vichy, singing the title role of "Alanon." This was one of the most nerve racking events of her life as" the cast of this opera is always supposed to be experienced and so no rehearsal was held. Altho she was a novice, her success was complete. In 1914 the war disrupted the "Opera" (Continued on Page Six) BELLINGHAM NORMAL TO PLAY CHENEY The Blue and White, having tasted victory at the expense of Ellensburg, are working hard to get in condition to meet the hoopsters from the Cheney Normal, Saturday night.

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

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

One of the things we are expected to do is to transport them from hotel to gymnasium and other places about. To do this cars are necessary. All schools have this same problem, and most of them solve it by an appeal to the student body. This appeal is generally answered at once. But is this the case with the Normal ? From the Eilensburg experience, we would say not. Twice we had a sufficiency of cars. Twice decidedly not. But we are not going to come to a general conclusion on only one instance. We are going to wait until after the Cheney game tins week. We will need several cars three or four times Saturday, and possibly Friday. How many people are going to come forward with offers of help? We know that some of those who helped before, and all thanks to you public spirited ones, will be with us again. But we need even more cars. Let's show Cheney a real live bunch of considerate car owners. % —V. G. B. S. N. S. Have you thought about buying a Klipsun? If not, why not?

Are you in this class f Soliciting of student Klipsun orders will be made by the management early in February. With this warning, there should be plenty of time left for the majority of students to accumulate the necessary two dollars and a half.

Once upon a time there were two brothers, whose names were Carl and Orville. They were knights errant, and they sat by a fountain outside the castle gates, waiting to fight with Arthur's knights. Arthur did not know what to do about it, so one day lie put on his tin suit, and went out to chase them away. After he had beat themi up, he complimented them on their good sportsmanship, and asked them to come in and join the Round-ta-le. The accepted and were welcomed into the crowd. Everybody liked them quite well, but they liked Orville best, because Carl had such a vicious temper. Sir Carl tried manfully to overcome this affliction, but just as sure as he became angry, he was likely to do something awful. Once he even swore at his noble charger. Now Orville was a trusty knight, and t.ie king often sent him. on important missions, while Carl was kept ajt Can-a-Lot, in order that he might not disgrace the Round table with his impulsive temper. Poor Sir Carl felt his limitations and often wondered how he could improve himself. He had always admired Arthur's beautiful queen, and thot that she might be able to help him. "Most gracious queen," he said, "if you would let me wear some token of your's on my shield.. 1 know that I should oe a better man." She gave him permission, and the next day he had the token, in the form of a spit-curl, painted on his shield. In spite of the great moral encouragement this gave him, one day he felt quite blue; so he jumped on his horse and rode away. A few days before, Sir Orville had been sent out to the forest to find a demon that hid there, and destroy him. Sir Carl rode thru this same forest, seeking solace for his weary soul. After riding for quite a while, he stopped to rest under a tree, and fell asleep. When he awoke he saw a girl sitting on a horse watching him. "Who are you?" he asked. "My name is Bee," she said, "and yours is Hoggat, isn't it?" She went on without waiting for an answer, "What is that sign on your shield ?" "It is the Queen's token," he Sir Carl H. reverently., Bee winked at her companion, Helen, and they laffed long and loudly. "Ha! ha!" said they. "That's nothing," and Bee added. "If I had a reputation like that woman's, I wouldn't be handing out any tokens to innocent, simple little lads like you." At first Carl was angry, but they spoke with such sincerity, that he was forced to believe them. And then he was mad—Oh, My!!! To think how he had been fooled. He shrieked a terible shriek, and began to stamp on the shield. Sir Orville, who was near by, heard the shriek and thinking it was the demon, came charging down the forest path. Sir Carl, hearing the clank of armor approaching, pulled down his visor and prepared to charge the knight who was coming toward him. Each one's lance pierced the other's armor. The lances were shattered. Then each drew his sword and dashed at his opponent, not realizing that he was. fighting his own brother! Finally they fell, dying, into each other's arms. Bee and Helen, thinking the knights were dead, hopped off their horses and unfastened their helmets. Then they rode away. The fresh air revived the brothers and they came too, long enough for each to explain how sorry he was, and they died in each other's arms. —Balin and Balan by Alfred Lord Tennyson.

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

The score of the first game was 25 to 16, and of the second game 32 to 18. Full details were not given in the wire, but we know the boys played up to their limit. Our hope now rests in revenge and all efforts must be turned to treating Bellingham in a similar manner when they come down here.—Ellensburg Student Opinion. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1923 January 19 - Page 6 ---------- 6 BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1922 FORMER FACULTY MEMBER WRITES FROM PHILIPPINES "November 23, 1922, "TO THE MESSENGER: "From the far off Philippines I send Christmas greetings and best wishes for a happy New Year to all my Belling-ham Normal friends. How I would love to be with j'ou again and to tell you of this country, so different from anything in the States and so little known. "I have just returned to Manila,, after spending two montns in the far interior of that great Philippine Island so far to the south, vast, mysterious, and half explored Mindanao. I traveled nearly 1,000 miles, making a reconnaissance of lakes and rivers, for the purpose of making recommendations about the introduction and planting of food fishes. "Climbing giant voleanos, visiting remote mountain lakes, riding or hiking for hundreds of kilometers thru tremendous forests with all the wealth of tropical vegetation possible, strange flowers, tangled vines, monkeys, screaming cockatoos, and beautiful song birus, days and nights in narrow, cranky, dugout canoes threading interminable swamps peopled with an almost incredible number and variety of water birds and covered for miles and miles with glorious pink lotus—such were some of my experiences. "'My trip to Lake Nuniulgan was Jin interesting one. Leaving Ganassi. a village at the southwest corner of Lake Lanao, which lies at an elevation of 2,200 feet, we traveled to the southwest. For two or three nours we rode over a region, of high grass covered hills, threading our way thru fields of upland rice and passing many strange Moro houses. Gradually we left tin's all behind and wound our way up into the great forest covering the mountain range which we must cross. Here were enormous trees WK.. far flung wall-like buttress roots, and grotesque, incredibly huge wild figs or banians filling the air with a multitude of roots. Higher up were miles and miles of those most beautiful creatures of all the plant world, tree ferns, ten, twenty, forty feet in height, while in the wet places pandans hobbled around on their strange prop-roots, their crowns raised eighty or ninety feet aoove. In one part we traveled under lofty arches formed by giant bamboo, e:ich clump many yards in diameter, each stalk as thyck as my thigh, and their delicate tips swaying seventy-five feet or more . in the air above. "My, what grand fishing poles they about tiie middle of the afternoon would make for a Brobdignagian! "In time we uegan to descend, following a dashing mountain stream, and cular sheet of water a mile or more in diameter. It is surrounded by a nar-reached Lake Nunungaii, an almost cir-row rim of rice padines, behind which rise great b'lls and mountains of an ap-pllng ptcepness. Clustered at the foot of the highest peek of all, a mountain visible from the coast, lies the village where we spent the night. "I found that the lake had an outlet, its waters flowing off directly into the bowels of the great mountain, so that J thought at once of "Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless to man." "Of great interest to all Normalites would be a visit to the school at Nunun-gan. The building is of bamboo, with split bamboo floor and a grass thatched roof and, like all the native buildings, stands on posts. There is a single entrance at one side and the opposite wall covered with blackboard. "The principal was a Christian Filipino, his assistant a young Moro, for this is in the heart of the Moro country. The principal held his classes on one side of the. central aisle, while his assistant held forth at the otiier end of the room. Most of the children were boys, but there was a fair sprinkling of girls, as the Moros are beginning to allow their girls to go to school. The children were a motley lot, judged by Christian standards, but when I thought of the advantages children have in the United States I was filled with sympathy and compassion for these poor children struggling under such handicaps of poverty, language and religious opposition. All were barefoot of course, since the Moros away from tiie cities never wear shoes. Some boys,and girls wore only a sarong,. a pillow; case like garment, open at both ends. Small boys may luiA'e it twisted around their loins or around their neck, or cover themselves entirely with it. Most boys wore also a pair of very short, skin-tight trousers, on tiie model of bathing trunks; a few were elaborately dressed, with tight jackets and long skin-tight trousers which have to be buttoned around the legs, both garments elaborately spattered with gold or silver buttons. These were the sons of datus or chiefs. Since these people never wash their clothes and have no soap, the sarongs, once white, were now far from., pleasing to the eye. But the children who have had a Tew years of schooling change all this as far as it lies within their power. The schools teach the Moros cleanliness, sanitation, and hygiene, things which are utterly unknown to them otherwise. "The Sultan of jSunungan, a tall, powerful, middle-ageu man, half naked, surprised me by stepping to the front and making a ten minute speech to the children. He was terribly in earnest and looked savage enough to chop off .i head or two. The governor of the .province, who was with me, said the Sultan was telling the children now proud he was of the school, and how they must attend regularly and study hard: in short, he made just such a speech as any prominent citizen WOUK! make in the United States when addressing a school. "I could not help thinking of me wonderful changes time makes. Seven or eight years ago this Nunungan region was infested by notorious bands of outlaws who fought desperately against the coming of the Christian and all uis innovations and now here he is urging the children of the tribe to do the things which upset the old order. These Mohammedans are still a polygamous, slave-holding people but such things wui not last many generations against the increasing influence of the public schools. "Our ride back was in a terrific rainstorm, which broke as we were ascending the mountain. The land-leeches, loathsome, liver-colored blood suckers simply swarmed on the ground and every time 1 alighted I was covered by them. From the trees and bushes kept dropping down more landleeches, handsome gold and green striped fellows but equally voracious. "About noon tiie rain ceased and as we emerged from the dark forest and caught sight of the blue waters of Lake Lanao, hundreds of feet below us, with a rainbow over it twenty or thirty miles off, I felt that traveling in Mindanao had its pleasures in spite of occasional discomforts. "Hoping that 1!)23 may be the best year the Bellingham Normal has ever had, I am Sincerely, ALBERT W. C HERRE, Chief, Division of Fisheries, Bureau of Science. B. S. N. S. Freshman Play.

Did you ever notice them leaving assembly the instant the warning bell rings? Is it not too bad they cannot all sit together near the back of the room so their leave taking would not disturb everyone quite so much? In that case there might not be so general a stampede. Anyway, it does not look very complimentary to the speaker. —M. L. — B. S. N. S. Did you ever go to the bookcase in search of a particular book and fail to find it anywhere near the books numbered as it was? Perhaps you needed it badly and went to the librarian and found that it was neither out nor reserved. You then went back and searched very diligently all the bookcases anywhere near and even between two books of an entirely different subject. Someone had been using it in the library and had not bothered to put it back in the rigth place. So until some energetic people like yourself or one of the library force, sets it right, there it stays. The magazine files cause just the same waste of time. Wouldn't it be grand if all the students would reform in this one particular? —M. L. B. S. N. S. Hello! "Hello!" Doesn't last for a minute, A clear little, queer little word, But,, say!

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

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

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

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

Ellensburg has great expectations for a championship basketball team, as her squad is composed of some of the best basketball material in the state. State Normal School Journal, Cheney: Cheney Normal desires that every student and faculty member speak of the Normal using its right name "The State Normal School" at Cheney. They believe that if it is known or spoken of as Cheney Normal, that it is implying a false condition, for it is not a local but a State Normal. They desire to have the proper name used. The Trail, C. P. S., Tacoma: C. P. S., according to a recent editorial, wants to have as its slogan for the football year of 1923. "C. P. S., the Center College of the West."

CHENEY TO BE ENTERTAINED GRIDIRON WARRIORS RECEIVE EMBLEMS Block W's were presented to the members of the football squad, during Wednesday's assembly, by Coach Sam Carver. As the names of the players were read, the members of the team came forward and took their place on the platform. Thomas Frank spoke in behalf of the team, and explained to the student body the significance of. the emblem which the members of the team were about to receive, and what this emblem meant to the players. Coach Carver presented the "letters" to the following players: Lawrence Kep-linger, captain (end); Guy Bond, end; Randolph Dawson, end; Thomas Frank, Tackle; Paul Rairdon, tackle; Sam Ford, guard; Dewey Bowman, guard; Ruei Knowlton, guard; Oscar Linstedt, center; Boyde Staggs, quarter; Archie Thomas, fullback; Harold Gaasland, halfback; Ralph Miller, halfback; Walter Vanderford, halfback. B. S. N. S. MUSICAL PROGRAM GIVEN Arangements are being made for the entertainment of the Cheney basketball team which comes here Saturday. The plans of entertainment include a banquet for the teams Saturday evening and a dance for all Normal students Saturday afternoon. The banquet is in charge of a committee chosen by the president of the Students' Association, namely: Tina Pearson, Helen Hightower, and Mr. iKolstad. It will be given for the two teams, the managers, and coaches. Plans for the Saturday afternoon dance are in the hands of Leland Rankin, Helen Goke, Tina Pearson, and Miss Keeler. -B. S. N. S. — Personal Survey. As Dr. Sternheim suggested that the students take a day off and give themselves a personal survey, the matter was taken up in Tuesday's Woman's assembly. The girls are going to survey themselves for a week. Each girl has a card on which she must put down the exact number of minutes spent on each lesson, on outside work, or anything that takes up time. This will help the faculty see who is making the lessons too long, and will also show wherein the students may divide their time more evenly. A very enjoyable musical program was given Wednesday, during the latter part of the assembly hour. A part of our school talent was once more expressed in the following program: Vocal solos Irene Stewart Carissimo by Arthur Penn. Duna by Josephine McGill. Betty Yost, accompanist. Trio—* Marian Westerland, violin. Julia Squires, cello. Mrs. Hagerdorn, pianist. Serenade by Chaminades My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice (from Samson and Delila). Violin solo Marian Westerland Der John der Haide Accompanied by Mrs. Hagerdorn. Appreciation was shown by the applause rendered after each selection.

The negative, especially argued beside the question, appealing only to public opinion. Incidentally, Mr. Bever urged the presence of a good audience at the debates which will take place later in the year, as Mr. Bever expressed it, we should have the same spirit in turning out for debates as has been recently shown toward athletics. The support of the student body will not only encourage the members of the team, but will also be beneficial to the school.

Mrs. Addison Campbell, of Seattle, was the speaker at all of the meetings. She had expected that Mrs. Samuel Bowman, also of Seattle, would accompany her, but Mrs. Bowman was unable to come. Mrs. Campbell already had many friends in the school, and she made many more during this last visit. It would be impossible to say which of her meetings was the most interesting and helpful, but one especially which was very interesting was on the subject of Woman's Privilege and Responsibility. "I believe," said Mrs. Campbell, "that back of every great event in the world's history there has been a woman, sometimes a wife, often a mother, who is in a large measure responsible." Following the custom of previous years, Saturday's meeting was a missionary meeting and Mrs. Campbell Tead a very interesting letter from her daughter in Korea, describing some of the expereinces she had been thru as a missionary there.

NO 10 THE LEWIS COUNTY INSTITUTE OF LAST A FORMER STUDENTS MEET On Wednesday noon, November 23, at the time of the Lewis County Institute in Centra] ia, a large group of former Bellingham students gathered in the Chamber of Commerce hall to pay respect and send greeting to their Alma Mater. The time was spent listening to talks from the Normal delightfully told by Mr. Bever, followed by Mr. Hoppe, who masterfully entertained the group with humorous readings. The noon hour was gone all too soon and only was there time for a few reminiscences of Normal days by Miss Z. May Meighen, our very capable cbunty superintendent, and an expression of appreciation to Waldemar Jaeger, under whose direction the luncheon was planned, and Mr. Herbert Heath, who acted as toast master.

This sparkling comedy has been considered one of the best English plays since its production, March 3, 1773. The' humorous situations, the phraseology and the quaint costumes are factors which make it an immortal fun-maker. The cast represents the highest dramatic ability in Bellingham. Mr. Hoppe and Mr. Rahskopf of the Expression department, have important roles. Y COURSE WILL BE OF GREAT BENEFIT TO SCHOOL Today, the dangerous time of after-war reconstruction, is the time when people should be drawn together into a common unit of thought and action. As a stimulus to social instinct and cooperation, the Bellingham State Normal School is offering a Community Lyceum Course to small school communities. The course is formed to promote the following aims: To aid the school in the important work of humanizing and vitalizing its relations with the community; to make instruction, inspiration and entertainment available at a minimum cost DEALS OF NORMAL SET F FAITH IN SCHOOL JOURNAL REVIEWS WORK (Continued on Page Two) (Continued on Page Five) The following contribution regarding our President and his ideals for Normal appears in the present issue of the Washington Educational Journal. "The subject of this sketch was born in Wisconsin and launched upon his career in South Dakota. Upon graduation from Yankton College, he was admitted to the ancient and honorable order of the ferule and immediately started to initiate young men and women into the mysteries of Pytagoras, Eulid, and Ptolemy. While teaching Mathematics and Astronomy at Au-gustana and Yankton Colleges, he gave indication of professional ambition by undertaking graduate work at Leipsic and at the University of Minnesota. He received the Master's degree from Yankton College in 1905 and was awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws in 1911. In South Dakota he served two terms as State Superintendent of Public Instruction, one term as President of the State Teachers' Association, and nine years as President of the State Normal School at Aberdeen. "In 1914, Doctor Nash was called to the Presidency of the Bellingham State Normal School. The Norcnal-'by-the- Sea responded quickly to the vigor of his administration. Preceding highest records of attendance, both in the regular year and in the summer session have been doubled. The faculty has been increased from thirty-six to _ fifty-six. Buildings have been rehabilitated, campus greatly enlarged, a new heating plant and a new dormitory erected. President Nash has actively identified himself wth every form of public service— religious, educational, civic, patriotic. So markedly has he demonstrated his qualities of leadership that there is a general feeling in the community and in the state that if he undertakes any important task it will be carried through to a successful issue. "When interviewed regarding his aims and ideals for the Bellingham State Normal Shool, Doctor Nash expressed himself in the following terms: 'I want this school to be second to none of its kind in the country. I have always upheld the position that the Normal Schools of the state must be regarded as institutions of collegiate rank and that they must maintain collegiate standards of work. The Bellingham Normal _ is not copying any other institution; the plan of its work is unique. I do not want it tied to any traditions of the past that may hamper growth ,and development. Any innova-itons are welcomed that give evidence of a progressive spirit held in leash by a judicious, but not fettering, conservatism. The strength of a school is to be found in its faculty. I hope to have in charge of the various departments at all times specialists who will rank with the best in the country. It is my policy to commit to competent and representative members of the faculty the responsibility for developing the strongest possible program of teacher training.'" ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1921 December 2 - Page 2 ---------- BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1921.

Normal boasts a dozen such. "Ho! Ho!" chuckles Mr. Bever, when asked to spin a fish tale. "You see, Mr. Bond about that." "I used to be exceedingly fond of fishing," confided Mr. Kibbe, "but somehow I never got exactly acquainted with the fish out here. Mr. Bond's your man." "Yes," mused Mr. Bond, "the way to get really acquainted with a person is to go away out from civilization somewhere and' spend the day fishing with him. If there's anything wrong with him it'll -come out pretty strong before the day is over. "I've been fishing one time or another with every man on this.faculty and;every one of 'em measures one hundred per cent on my pet test. "The biggest fish I ever caught I met upon the North Fork. I got a noble bite and pulled with all my might. Next thing I knew I came to the surface with the fish's tail in one hand and the limb of a tree in the other. Rindall helped me out. That fish weighed thirty-two pounds. "One time Eindall and I decided to see who was champion fisherman. We fished four straight hours, and at the end of that time one of us had 16S fish and the other had 172. We agreed never to tell who had those extra four fish. "I nearly caught a fish to beat Bond's," said Mr. Rindall. "I felt an awful tug at my line. I got a glimpse of him. He was four feet long. I played him for a while and then began to pull. Just as I was about to land him I awoke to find that Bond had all the covers. My fish was a blanket." Miss Gragg is the only woman of the faculty who confesses to any fishing experiences. "When I came West I was on tiptoe to t ry your wonderful fishing, of which I have heard so much. A neighbor furnished me with a jointed pole, a reel, a basket and high boots. We set out. The biggest stream we could find was five feet wide. We caught fish three inches long. I bore it proudly home and put it on the table— the cat got it." Mr. Kolstad politely refused to be communicative, so we resorted to blackmail. They tell this one on him: He was fishing one day on the Nooksack and had caught only a cold. He fell in with a stranger, a traveling salesman. The stranger mistook Mr. Kolstad for one of his own guild, as others have done before, and asked what his line was. The psychologist modestly disclaimed the tribute and asked "What's yours?" Now the salesman had been catching fish after fish, while A. K.'s basket remained empty. Quoth the salesman, "My line is rubber sporting goods, which explains my superior luck in fishing. I have on a pair of our boots now." "Do you mean to say—" "Sure thing! See for yourself." Mr. 'Kolstad put on the boots and immediately his luck changed. The fish threatened to eat up his hook and line, and soon his basket was full. In the excitement he rashly waded into the river. He was immediately surrounded by swarms of fish, which threatened to tear off the boots. He was dragged back to safety by the salesman, who said: "Prettv good line! Even the fish think so!" Now, I ask you! B. S. N. S. The boys who call themselves the Candly Kids are often times the Lemon Drops.

S.- JOSEPHINE CONVERSE WRITES FROM PARIS Miss Helen Beardsley has received a very interesting letter, dated "Paris, October 27, 1921," from Mrs. Josephine Converse, a graduate of our school, who was formerly an instructor in foreign languages at Whatcom High School. Mrs. Converse is now a student at the Sorbonne. She has received honorable mention there. She expects to teach French in a university upon her return to America. Mrs. Converse loves Paris, but has to work hard. "Students," she says, "go and go," but they do not receive credits unless they ask permission to take examinations." "French students refuse to be bored by a professor who kills time," she relates. "They shout—'asses, asses! C'est fini!' I have sometimes thought I should like to do that in the United States." The students incude Chinese, Japanese, Swedes, Danes, many Kussians, and some Americans. Living is high in Paris, but everyone seems to be employed, and there is little unrest, as in this country. B. S. N. S. SHE WORRIED ABOUT IT. (By Anne Bra-nnick) Her eyebrows were awry, her hair out of curl, . And she worried about it. She'd been snubbed in the hall by that horrid Jones girl, And she worried about it. She hadn't a "date" for Saturday night. 'Cause she and Alonzo had just had a fight. And, good gracious me, was her dress quite all right? And she worried about it. Her plans bore this legend "Re-write" or "see me," She didn't worry about it. With red ink her essays were decked beautifully, She didn't worry about it. When asked to recite, she was usually mium. You'd think that this fact would have bothered her some. But she was quite happy and simply chewed gum. . She didn't worry ahout it. B. S. N. S. The Eterna Masculine. Father: "Well, anyway, women are just children, grown up a little.

MILLER WRITES AN ARTICLE FOR JOURNAL In the November issue of the Washington Educational Journal appears an article on "Vocational Guidance as a Function of the School" by Dr. Miller. In this article Dr. Miller states, "that modern education demands that the interests, activities', and subject matter of the school be identical and continuous with life; and that to fit one's self for the vocation for which he is best adapted is the only possible way to participate freely and efficiently in the work of the world. This necessity for time in the development of intelligent choice implies an educative process which should make vocational guidance an integral part of the work of the school." Dr. Miller shows plainly the need for a system for guidance along these lines and also makes various suggestions as to how this might be done. Read the article for it is on one of the live topics in educational work. Bellingham Truck Co. Ask us about Prices before moving Pianos and Furniture Packed and Moved.

Many a triumph has been gained for our school in contests with the other Normals of state as well as with many strong district teams. This year is to prove no exception to the rule. Some excellent material is in school. Many men who have already proved their worth on other basketball floors, and some veterans of former Normal team are here. Coach Carver has arranged a stiff schedule, and is hopeful that his boys will finish the season with a clean slate. Many games besides those already ar ranged will doubtless be played. The regular games with the city school teams will probably take place. The schedule to date is as follows: Jan. 11—Vancouver ex-Normal (tentative). Here. Jan. 14—College of Puget Sound. Here.

NEW BOOKS RECENTLY ADDED TO THE LIBRARY Book covers find among new books a fascinating something that is an intricate part of the undimmed ink, the fresh binding, the make up and content; they peep under a particularly promising looking cover or skim a page here and there with all the delights of exploration. So much interest has been shown in the New Book shelf introduced recently into the Library that we should like .to mention briefly a few of the very latest books that have appeared on the shelf. James, William. Letters 'of William James, edited by Henry James. To students who have been daily asking for th ereserved books, James' "Psychology," and James' "Talk to Teachers," this book will afford a great human experience and delight. "The whole man with his wide interest in philosophy, medicine, and writing, as well as the pleasant friendliness of home and college life are admirably disclosed in his letters, even in his pencil sketches." A. L. A. His "Varieties of Religious Experience" is a book especially interesting because of its broad outlook. Santayana, George. Character and Opinion in U. S. "A keen, kindly analysis of American life, particularly of the more subtle mental attitudes. Seems to centralize around a conception of the American character as vigorous, hopeful, good, somewhat childish; hampered intellectually by con-vetional prohibitions and compulsions; and devoted to a liberty based on cooperation and the spirit of live and let live." A. L. A. A new line of thought comes with the reading of this book, for not once in a year does a book teem with such a glowing vocabulary, crystal-like phrases, humor, and truth. The author was a professor at Harvard University and, though born in Spain, is one of Ameria's great philosophers. Read also his "Life of Reason," "Sense of Beauty," and "Winds of Doctrine." — B . S.

Think of it! To us has been granted two Thanksgiving days in the same year, the same A GRADUATION month, almost in the same week. Verily, POEM our hearts overflow with the measure of our blessings. The goal of our present ambition has been attained. Labor has its reward; the coveted diploma is within our grasp and, oh, joy! a possible pay check looms large in the desert waste of'our financial affairs. Thankful? Yea, beyond measure! But not grateful alone for material blessings! More priceless by far are the pleasant memories that we shall take with us—the memory of inspiring, faithful instructors, the memory of helpful, loyal friends and acquaintances and the memory of a delightful environment. ~We are thankful for the knowledge that has come to enrich our minds and s.rengthen our bodies. We are thankful for the fields of service that await us; may we ever play a woivhy part therein! Finally^ we are grateful to our fellow-citizens throughout the state and nation, who, for the sake of an ideal, have given of their means that we might enjoy the advantages that have been ours through our school lives.—One of them. B. S. N. S. SOME THOUGHTS ON SCHOOL SPIRIT. (XN EVERY HAND we hear much about school spirit. To excel in its display is the ambition of every class. The regular students complain that the summier students do not show a proper spirit, and these elder folk retort that the ''regulars" have not yet learned the meaning of the word. What is the elusive, intangible thing, that having it, we may believe we have it not, and, while boasting its possession, we yet may have it not? Eureka! In that maze of idle words. I have it. School spirit is a composite—the result of many reactions. The outer portions uncertain and nebular, consist of much vociferous ''rootings," of many sprawling class numerals in unseemly places, of many "hi-yu" good times and illy-prepared lessons, of much whispering under the assembly gallery and idling in the halls, of many anxious interviews with those in authority. But now, slowly, the composite takes form, registering faithfully prepared lessons, increasing earnestness and loyalty to duty. There is shown increased devotion to student activities and a better appreciation of faculty efforts. Until at the center, is found the heart, beating steadily and rythmieally through the years in love and veneration for Alma Mater.—A December Graduate. B. S. N. S. A LL THTNG-S come to ends—even such good things as quarters, terms, and Messenger s affs. It was with regret we realized that this issue was to.be our last, and we hurried around a little faster than usual and tried to fill up the pages with good news. We hope you read it every bit and like it, and if you do, tell us about it. As we think back over the quarter, somewhat in retrospect, we know there are many articles that should have been better, jokes that could have been funnier, news that could have been fresher. We like to think of the new columns we have started, the one absolutely new joke we wrote, the poem we made up; and then the things that we have left for the next staff to finish: tulips, good English, lectures. To the next staff we wish much success with their work, and thereto we bequeath them all our frayed pads and pencil stubs, the small hours in which to. work, the fears and joys and all the fun that goes with writing. AIL TF KI. TT M IK FROM THE PHYSICAL TRAINING DEPARTMENT The ideal of physical training in our educational work should be to promote the health of school children; and this implies that special care be taken to overcome that tendency toward nervous unrest that the strain of American life, as well in business and social circles, as in the schools, tends to create. It may not seem that the few minutes which are or should be given each day to physical training in the public school, will affect materially for better or worse the character and bearing of the children who are subjected to it, but when it is remembered that these exercises are to go on day after day from the time the child enters school, its influence will be more readily recognized, and its hygienic importance more fully appreciated. (To be Continued) REDUCTION OF ARMAMENT TO BE DISCUSSED WEEKLY This Corner Will Be Devoted to the Cause Until the Allied Conference Closes. Princeton University has an active club for the Reduction of Armament. President Harding expressed his approval of the organization as follows: "It is most gratifying to know that the college thought of the Republic is being exercised helpfully to commit the sentiment of our country and the world to real achievement. A great service to this generation may prove vastly greater to the generations yet to come." The New York Times has given an entire edition over to a discussion of Reduction of Armament. The Literary Digest of November 12th devotes the entire number to the cause, as does the New Republic, November 16th. with an additional supplement. The Tacoma Ledger also gives an entire issue to the movement. Harry Lauder says war is all wrong. "Great things are coming. Great things will be done. Great things must be done. And there is a way in sight at the conference at Washington. It lies for the English speaking people of the world to make war impossible, not for a generation or two, but for everlasting time. Forty colleges responded to Princeton's call for a conference of colleges for reduction of armaments. President Harding commended them for their activity and interest, stating that the questions of today would be settled by the younger generation I wonder if the difference between the college student and the normal student may not be ilustrated by this very interest shown in a question of international importance. It seems as though the Normal students were not interested and utterly uninformed on this very important issue. Seligman of Columbia says, "Whether the delegates to the armament conference realize it or not, the future of European civilization is at stake." Meanwhile Americans should demand to know why 3 cents of every dollar of their government's money in 1920 was spent in paying for past wars and preparing for future wars.- B. S. N. S. LAURA A. JOHNSON DIES: WAS POPULAR STUDENT Laura Anna Johnson, a student at Normal, died early Sunday morning, November 20th She was in the hospital apparently recovering from an operation, wnen she suddenly suffered a relapse which proved fatal. Miss Johnson's home was at Kent, Washington, where her' father has a large farm She came to Normal last year. Durig the "flu" epidemic she assisted Miss Mead most efficiently in caring for the girls at the dormitory. Miss Mead says she has never known of a more reliable girl in time of need and distress. Edens Hall girls sent a beautiful floral tribute to the funeral and a letter of sympathy was forwarded to her father from the Student's Association. B. S. N. S.

E OF A SI I Some there may be who think teaching a lifeless and prosaic process. After one has interviewed a number of Normal students he wonders if life in the movies, aeroplane flights, or the old adventures of cowboys on the plains offer any more thrilling experiences than some of these demure pedagogues have encountered, who so meekly answer "Present" when the roll is called at Normal classes! One slim, curly-haired maiden, who really appeared too fragile to tackle an eighth grade job in our Training school, confessed that last year she had the opportunity of dealing with human nature in the raw. She was called to teach in a four-room school, close to the boundary line where loggers, a few ranchers, smugglers of Chinese laborers and "booze runners" thrived. Boys composed most of the attendance, overgrown and undisciplined. School to them was a secondary consideration as they made men's wages when the logging camps were running. Their object in attendance was the old one, to run the school and the teacher. After many exciting adventures in which the old-fashioned rubber hose was. resorted to, and the teacher's desk one evening contained two quarts of whiskey, taken from one of the ring leaders of the boys; after much discouragement, ex-haustless patience and tact, order was brought out of chaos. Students admitted— even the wildest of them—that they liked to come to school. Evenings were spent coasting, hiking and fishing, with the object of keeping the boys out of mischief. Looking back on the year now, our fragile little Normal student thinks the experience she gained there invaluable and really admits that after the first misunderstandings were over, she grew to love and appreciate the warm, human nature she encountered. Another teacher, a young man, had a rather difficult time because most of the people in his district were Slavonians and lived in a community by themselves. Many of the pupils were older girls; more shy young ladies were never seen. When the teacher tried to be friendly and called at their homes to interest them in community work and play, the girls all ran and. hid. Nor ANNOUNCEMENT Commencing Thursday, December first, we will serve a splendid Table d'hote Dinner at $1.00 per person, from 5:00 to 8:15 p. m. every evening Sam Rathman's music Your social obligations may be taken care of by a Dinner at the Leopold Special attention to parties, large or small, on short notice was he able to make himself understood by the parents. One day he herded most of the pupils 6 miles to another school for a spelling match. When they arrived, they collected in a side room and refused under any consideration to come out. Another day he brought them to an adjoining school for an examination. They looked at the other children, looked at the questions and marched home. By persistent and patient effort he managed by the time school was out to get within speaking distance of them outside of school hours. In some cases it is well to be something of a boxer. A young teacher called a large boy, who had been misbehaving, to her desk. As soon as she rose he struck at her. As she had had a great deal of trouble with him and her predecessor had been forced to leave in the middle of the term, she did not hesitate, but launched an uppercut straight at him and he fell to the floor. He was not hurt but was forever after a good boy. Sometimes it pays to use cave-man tactics. The places which should have the most unselfish and best teachers are the one and two-room schools, because then the school house and the teacher must become the center of any community life that there is. One such teacher had a school in the coal fields. She organized a P. T. A. which became very active, a dancing club for the community, had a co-operative community hall built and conducted a Sunday School. It is such teachers who demand, or rather deserve the highest praise. Many students have only delightful experiences. One girl taught east of the mountains in the apple country. Most of the people were moderately well off. Her life was a series of rides, dinners and entertainments, which the community provided. She was paid $150 a month and had but twelve primary children to teach. —Verna McGinnis. 13. S. N. S. COMMUNITY COURSE WILL BE OF GREAT BENEFIT TO SCHOOL (Continued From Page One) to communities; to present numbers of such nature that there shall be something of interest for every member of the school community. The members of this Lyceum Course are: Victor H. Hoppe, of the Expression department; W. C. Weir and E. J. Klemme, of .the Extension department, and Major A. F. Palmer, of the French army. These four men offer a course of quality at a small fee, making the numbers available for any school district. The numbers may be given singly or as a. whole course. The courses are planned to be given at intervals of about one month, thus spreading the course over three or four months. B. S. N. S. Edith R.—"I wisli to ask a question regarding a tragedy."

For a week doubt and fear would hold you almost continually in their grip. How you would hope for and expect letters with every delivery of mail! You would be almost sure that the letter was in the city, the postal service poor and the postman negligent. Is there anyone who cares whether you have food or not? In a few months after, the mountains and valleys of hope and fear, phantom and fact, would assume their right proportions, and the humor and ridiculousness of the situation would afford as much amusement as your previous anxiety caused distress. Then as you, amid bursts of appreciative laughter, humorously related your experience of living for one week on one bowl of soup per day and then add, "You know those bowls of oyster crackers ?" More peals of laughter. Your friends immediately visualize the steady minus a cracker, minus another cracker, minus still another cracker, until only the bowl is left. Then they know why you do not eat crackers and soup now. B. S. N. S. Mr. Bever—"Before I begin talking, there are several things I want to say. Robert—"Yes, I'm taking up anesthetic dancing now!"

C. Phillipi, 916 High Street, last Saturday evening. Sixty members were present, including active members and those out of school. A splendid program was rendered, consisting of a flute solo by Carol Haeske, piano solo, Mabel Miller; a discussion, "The Finished Product," Blanche Cummins; "Philos in the Making," by Mary Wood. A large birthday cake holding twelve lighted candles was brought in. Mi-. Phillipi succeeded in blowing out the candles. The president, Lucien Loring, cut the frst piece and Cleo Baughman, a member of the club since 1914, cut the second. Herbert Hansen '•'clamped his teeth down on the ring," and it wasn't long until Catherine Shepherd was seen wearing it. Bernice Day discovered the thimble which means spinsterhood, and you should have heard Roswell Oliver groan! Milly Young grinned, but didn't say a word, when Arthur Boucher found the darning needle, the insignia of bachelorhood, in his piece. Wealth is forecast for at least one of the Philo members, for Esther Reddick found a dime in her cake. Lucien Loring received high score at a well known Philo game, while Marion Collier won the "booby" prize. The party certainly was one of the most enjoyable events in the history of the club. ALETHIANS. The Alethian Club held its regular business meeting Tuesday. Much important business was discussed. Thursday evening a fine program, illustrative of the country of Sweden-was given. The program was as follows: Roll call—Response with current events. Folk Lore and Customs—Martha Anderson. Folk Songs—Almeda Bowmen. Geography and Government—Ruth Church. Folk Dances—Dorothy Bell, Pearl Stoughton. Important Swedish Characters—Elnora Antrim. The program was followed by a discussion on club activities and it was decided to pledge fifty dollars for the club house on the Lake Whatcom tract.

Each girl was dressed to represent some well-known book. The evening was filled with games, readings, and music. Refreshments were served in the dining-room, which was decorated in green and yellow. All were grateful to the Y. W. C. A. for its generous hospitality. At one of the meetings of the month, Faye Bruneau gave a talk about the work she is soon to take up in South America. She first discussed the customs, climate and characteristics of that country, then she spoke on her special teaching work to be done there. It was a most enjoyable talk and gave a clearer insight into the missionary work in South America. Rev. Taus gave a pleasing talk at the last meeting on the spiritual side of life, which proved an inspiration to all. The Y. W. C." A. held a week of fellowship throughout the country during the clays November 13th to 18th. The week was observed by the Normal Y. W. C. A. by holding prayer services at the noon hour each day. RURAL LIFE CLUB. The Rural Lifers held a short business* meeting November 17. A committee, consisting of Misses Dunnigan, Trosl and Reihman, was appointed to act to nominate officers for next quarter. The business meeting was followed by initiation of new members. Those in charge of the initiation ceremonies were Miss Keeler, Mr. Coughlin, Miss Benson, Miss Abrams, Miss Rosenburg and Mr. Hatley. They proved to be good doctors, barbers and physical education instructors, if one may judge from the way they handled their victims. The victims were: Mrs. Johnson, Miss Rans-weiler, Miss Froost, Miss Jacobson, Miss Provost, Mrs. Zuffel, Miss Nims, Mr. Duke, Mr. Burke, Miss Elliot, Mrs. Bowman, Mrs. Gorril and Miss Sunquist. They all recovered and were able to return to school the next day. An interesting account of an institute in Eastern Washington was given by Mr. Coughlin. He emphasized the interest and enthusiasm shown by teachers attending the institute of whom more than forty were formerly students of this Normal. Mr. Hatley exhibited his talent as a community song leader by directing the "sing." OHIYESAS. The Ghiyesas met Tuesday morning, November 15, for a short business meeting. Miss Bell was elected as honorary member of the club. The next meeting will be held Tuesday, Nov. 30, when the officers for the next quarter will be chosen. THESPIANS. The next regular meeting of the Thespians will be held next Thursday evening in the club rooms. An unusually fine program has oeen p:anned for tin-; evening. It Beat Him.

"Both sessions were very long," reports Mr. Klemme, "lasting from 9 o'clock in the morning until 10 or 12 o'clock at night. The first day of the session was taken up by the executive committee in attending to the business of the Association. O. C. Whitney, auditor of the Association, presented his resignation, because he is leaving the state, and Principal V. K. Froula, of the Broadway high school, of Seattle, was appointed to fill the place. The committee decided on Spokane, Washington, as the headquarters for the W. E. A. convention for next year. The dates selected for the next convention are next September 27, 28 and 29th. A large portion of the time was taken up by initiating the "30-10," for education. This measure has been started by the P. T. A.'s of the state and the business of the executive committee was to attend to the legal side of it. The second day was used for a general meeting. Thirty educators from all over the state were present to meet with the executive committee for advice and for the purpose of planning the program of the initiation of the "30-10." Altogether, the meeting was very interesting and much worth while." Mr. Rice and family were delightfully entertained at Thanksgiving Dinner at the home of Dr. I. E. Miller and wife, last week. Mr. iKibbe and wife entertained several Normal students at dinner on Thanksgiving Day. Institute work has claimed Mr. Weir from the Normal all of this past week. November 28, 29 and 30th, he was in Clark county at the Institute and De-ember 1st and 2nd he was at Kathlamet attending the Wahkiakum County institute. Miss Keeer will speak at the Blaine Parent-Teaher's Association, December 6th. Miss May Long assisted at the Snohomish County institute, at Everett the first part of "the Aveek, and Messrs. Hoppe and Klemme attended November 30th. Mr. Klemme, editor of the December "Exchange," announces that it will be mailed out the last of this week. "Vocational Guidance as a Function of the School" is the title of the article written by Dr. I. E. Miller for the November number of Washington Educational Journal. This is the third and final number of a series of articles written for this journal by Dr. Miller. Tuesday evening of next week, Dr. Miller will speak before the Sehome P. T. A. His subject will be the "Psychology of Toys." At the meeting of the Forum, last Tuesday at 4 o'clock, Miss Earheart interestingly spoke about her "Impressions at Columbia University." Mr. Phillipi is president of the Forum this year. Mr'. Bissel has returned from Los Angeles, California, where he was called at the death of his brother.

T IS OF School Formally Opens for Work Here September 6,1899. STEADY PROGRESS IS MADE Twenty-sis years have passed since the establishment of a State Normal School at Bellingham, Washington, then Whatcom, Washington. The first Normal School established in the Puget Sound country was located in the beautiful little city of Lynden, Whatcom county, Wahington. This institution was organized as a private enterprise, but later an effort was made to secure state aid for its support. This plan having failed, a movement was started for the establishment of a state Normal School in this part of our commonwealth. A law was passed providing for the creating of a commission to select a site somewhere in Whatcom county. Citizens of Bellingham anxiously awaited the decision as to where the school was to be located. On February 19, 1893, a newspaper stated: "Now that Anderson's Normal School bill has passed, West Geneva and Langtry Point on Lake Whatcom are mentioned as desirable locations for a site." When the present site was donated, all other locations were forgotten. First Appropriation made. In 1895 the first appropriation for a building was made. The original building, costing about $45,000, was erected in 1896. In 1897, an appropriation for maintenance received the governor's veto. In 1899 an appropriation for equipment and maintenance was received, and the school formally opened for work on September 6th of that year. In addition to the original structure, eight other buildings have been erected. The first of these was the Training school building in 1901, which contains a total of thirty rooms. The gymnasium "was added to the rear of the main building in 1901. Edens Hall was erected in 1905 (replaced by a beautiful new structure in 1921); the Science annex in 1907; the Manual Training shop and a large annex to the Training School in 1913; a central heating plant, which furnishes steam and hot mater for all the buildings, in 1917. In 1921 was added the Emergency Hospital. The nine buildings now occupied by the institution are all completed and with their furnishings have cost upward of half a million dollars. Below are the plans of the Normal, which are to be completed within the next twenty-five years. Beginning with the Library, which is most needed, these buildings will be added one at a time, until the plans are finished. •as-,. ' * « • . : lt;w;; **±Sm • ' ! ' • " . " ' OF SCENIC IAUTY SPOTS Hundreds of Wooded Islands Inveigle Campers. SEA BEACHES ARE POPULAR The rapid growth of the Normal during the last twenty-five years has caused plans to be drawn up providing for a definite plan of growth for the next twenty-five. This includes a new Library, Gymnasium, Training School building, Athletic Field, Girls' Dormitory, Auditorium, Sylvan Theater, Chimes Tower, and many others. Judging from the past, this can easily happen in much less than twenty-five years, but this period was set as the standard. As the Normal owns much of Sehome Hill, space for building after the twenty-five year program is assured. Ten Faculty in 1899. The faculty of 1899 of the institution numbered ten with Dr. Mathes as first president, and a total of three hundred forty-nine students. Dr. G. W. Nash became president in 1914. Succeeding him was D. B. Waldo, who was with the institution for a year. It was during his presidency that Waldo Field and the grand stand came into existence. C. H. Fisher is now president of the Normal School, having held this position since the fall of 1923. Mr. Fisher recently stated in an assembly that he believed that each president at the time of his presidency was gratly neded just at that time for the many things they accomplished. Certainly the progress of the Normal has been steady and successful during its entire history. BELLINGHAM LARGEST CITY OFMRTHWEST Industrial as Well as Educational Community L MT. BAKER TRIP The attractiveness of Bellingham and the surrounding country cannot be denied. This city of 40,000 people has a lure all its own which the setting but enhances. It is a dream city in a dream land, and yet it is a real city, throbbing with real life. BUREAU AIDS STUDENTS Appointment Bureau Places Many- Students. Bellingham is the' largest city in the extreme northwest: it boasts four large lumber mills, which produce millions of feet of lumber every year. Much of this is shipped to foreign ports. From the foothills of the nearby Cascades comes an unlimited supply of rock to be made into cement at the Bellingham cement factory. From underneath the town each day many tons of high grade bituminous coal are taken from the rich mines. Limestone quarries in the vicinity appear inexhaustable. Bellingham's mineral supply has as yet scarcely been tapped. Farm Products Varied. Lumber and minerals are not the extent of Bellingham's ' material wealth. From the rich farm lands of which she is the center she gets fruits and vegetables that are canned in her canneries; eggs which are shipped by the hundreds of cases direct to New York, California, British Columbia, and Detroit from the Bellingham station: and from the farms too, dairy products far in excess of what she can consume. On Good Harbor. Bellingham is situated on one of the finest harbors on Puget Sound. Her bay shelters ships from many lands. The largest salmon cannery in the world is located in Bellingham, which together with smaller canneries, each year sends tons of fish out from the city. Never To Be Forgotten Scenery Appreciated on Hikes. After one graduates from the Normal school his next step is to get a position. And after he has his position there may come a time when he will need assistance or a bit of advice to carry on his work. Bellingham has a well organized department, the Appointment Bureau, to take charge of this work. The director of the Training school is the head of the Appointment Bureau, but the bureau itself is in charge of an appointment secretary who keeps a careful record of registrants, their records and credentials. The recommednations of faculty members are also kept in this office. All recommendations are sent out through the Appointment, Bureau. The bureau keeps in touch with school boards, principals, and superintendents, and co-operates with them in filling vacancies with the most suitable applicants. CHUCKANUT FINE CLIMB View Unsurpassed From Local Mountain. Chuckanut Mountain, a 1,460-foot peak with its base washed by the waters of Puget Sound, makes an ideal morning climb for students who like to hike. And it offers much in the way of compensation to those who will roll out of bed early in the morning and scale its heights: health insurance, a hearty appetite and a view that can hardly be surpassed. Viewing Chuckanut from the State Park on Chuckanut drive, it appears a verdant, inviting mountain, one that might be climbed without scaling boulders or crossing dark chasms. True to its appearance it offers no obstacles to the hiker. The trails to its summit are easily traversed, and if one is a good climber he may reach the top in forty-five minutes. J The Bellingham Normal School is situated in the most beautiful tourist play grounds of the Northwest. The students of the school have every opportunity of viewing the ruggedness and the picturesque beauty of this playground; moreover the scenery changes often enough so that one does not grow tired of it. On one side and in front of the Normal lies Bellingham Bay with the beautiful San Juan Islands within easy boating distance. It takes but a short time from the thought of a picnic on the Islands until one is actually there. From the Normal one may drive along paved roads which lead through farm country, or on the widely known Chuckanut Drive. We will not linger on these but will take you into the Baker National Forest, the scenery and ruggedness of which cannot be surpassed. You will enter the National Forest through Glacier where arrangements can be made for pack trains, guides and food, and it is here you must obtain your fire permit. This permit is for your protection in case of a forest fire. Trails Lead to Beauty Spots. As you travel along the highway you will see trails leading off the main road. These are the trails you should follow as the road will not take you to the most interesting places such as Church Mountain, Skyline Ridge, Chain Lakes, Table Mountain, or Hannagan Pass. The trails lead you thru trees and flowers to beautiful lakes, and snow covered peaks. For a short trip off the highway you may take your lunch and go to Chain Lakes, three clear lakes set in green, and forming three links of a giant chain. From the lakes you can climb Table Mountain, from which point you can see the lakes and Mount Baker in the background. Now about face and view our Mount Shuksan and Ruth Mountain, two rugged peaks. If you have left your Kodak in camp you have cheated yourself of pictures you will wish never to forget, pictures you should always enjoy. Kodaking a Pleasure. If you are a good kodak hunter you will wish to go to Hannegan Pass. Here you can climb Goat Mountain and cross over to Copper Mountain where you can obtain pictures of the elusive mountain goat. Pictures of bears are taken very frequently in the Austin Pass district. If you do not care for long hikes you may drive to Austin Pass where camping equipment is supplied for a reasonable sum. From here you are able to reach all places of beauty—lakes, forest, snow-covered peaks, and meadows. Trips are made by the students each summer to as many of these places as possible. The trips are sponosred by the different clubs and organizations of the school; at least one trip is sponsored by TWO HOURS DRIVE Regular Motor Ferry to Victoria. Service Two hours drive from Bellingham is Vancouver, the largest city in British Columbia, and a favorite of tourists on account of its many places of interest. Stanley Park, one of the most beautiful spots in the Northwest, covers one thousand acres around which there is a drive with many enchanting views. From it one can see the Pacific with its giant waves breaking eternally on the rugged lisores. From it, too, one can see numbers of ocean liners with their merchandise from and for practically every seaport in the world; and here can be seen ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1925 May 22 Supplement - Page 3 ---------- ¥^m^mwff^9^^^m^, WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASH. LEAPS TO E Championship Teams Put Out in Major Sports. Looking back to the past football season it is evident that the great collegiate game at Bellingham Normal went through one of its most successful years. The largest squad in the history of the institution turned out for football. Thirty-eight men were issued suits the first day and thirty-three men donned their moleskins for the final game. Bellingham Normal went through the season with five victories and two defeats. Both of their losses were scored by teams from the University of Washington. Victories were registered over St. Martin's College, Seattle College, Ellens-burg Normal, and Cheney Normal. The season ended at Bellingham, November 22. Cheney was defeated by a 13-0 score, a final victory which gave Bellingham Normal the State Normal School championship. This year nineteen men made letters in football, Bellingham ought to be able to put an almost unbeatable team on the field in 1925. Track Squad Active. The Viking Track squad took part in three track meets this season. The sixth annual Relay Carnival at University of Washington, a dual meet with the University of Washington; and the triangular meet between the three Normal schools. Waldo Field with its new quarter-mile track and two-twenty straight away has helped to create a new interest in track. In the Relay Carnival the Normal placed second in the Medley Relay and forced the Freshmen to a new record to win. The frosh dual meet held at the University of Washington was lost by a large score but at that the team showed a big improvement over last year. Normal was able to take three firsts and placed point winners in every event except the mile. The Tri-Normal meet which will be run off at Ellensburg, May 23, should be closely contested by the three Normals. Girls' Sports Hold Big Place. Sports, both indoor and out, play a big part in the school life of the Normal girl. The sports that are offreed in this institution are many and varied. Hockey and volley ball are given in the fall. Basketball is the big game of the winter months; while track, baseball and tennis hold full sway in the spring. Interclass games are held in all of these sports. The Kline cup for interclass basket ball has been competed for by the different classes for years. A girls' field day is held in the spring. On this day the championship in baseball is determined, and the track events are run off. Letters Awarded. Letters are awarded to the girs making the class squad in all of the sports offered. In addition to this the school awards a sweater to every girl who earns a place in a first squad for five quarters in any of the following sports: basketball, baseball, volley ball, hockey and track. GOOD SHOWING MADE WITH MINOR COLLEGES There isn't a doubt but what Bellingham Normal has the classiest ball team that this school has ever seen. The only game lost was to the University of Washington Varsity by a 5 to 4 score. Victories are held over Seattle College and the U. of W. freshmen. The ball team goes to Ellensburg with the track team May 28, to play Cheney for the minor college championship of the State Cheney holds the championship of the Columbia River Valley Conference. The following men have represented the Normal in its game so far this season; Staggs, catcher; Wingard and Frykman, pitchers; Leach, first base; Kure, second base; Davis, short stop; Graham, third base; Hyde and Burtz, left field; Katterle and Neil, center-field; Okerland and Parrett, right field.

IT TO DICK BRULAND, Football Captain. Tennis Tournament A tennis tournament is held in the spring of each year. Awards are given to the winners in women's singles, men's singles, women's doubles, men's doubles and mixed doubles. Much interest is shown in swimming. Here, again, those not knowing how to swim are given instruction. As soon as the girls learn to swim, they are eager to continue, and for that reason advance classes are held. A recreational swimming hour is offered once a week. In connection with swimming, girls work constantly on Red Cross life saving. • Thru the co-operation of the Normal and Women's Musical Club of Bellingham, students have had, during the past year, an opportunity to hear some of the foremost musical artists of the present day. This course was introduced a year ago, and because of its success and the interest shown by students and others, it promises to be a permanent feature of Normal life. Because it is felt that the students need the opportunity of hearing good music and because few of them will have a chance to hear it when teaching in the smaller districts; only the very best artists are presented. Student activities tickets admit to the concerts. World Famous Singers Appear. Louis Graveure, famous baritone, was the first artist to be presented. He proved a good introduction to the course as his exceptional voice, his selections, and his pleasing personality made all who heard him anxious to attend all of the musical numbers. Marie Ivogun, soprano, who appeared on January 21, made deeper the impression and interest which Graveure had begun. Her program consisted of a few well known operatic numbers and several familiar folk songs. Sophie Braslau, famous contralto, made the people of Bellingham feel again that they were enjoying a great privilege. Her charming voice added greatly to the variety and perfection of the program. Harpist and String Quartet. Albert Salvi, the world's greatest concert harpist, introduced something entirely new to the Normal in the way of music. He is a composer and director, and is being hailed today as the greatest concert harpist that the world has ever produced. Probably no one has been a greater revelation to his audiences than Albert Salvi. Following Salvi, the Flonzaley Quartet was presented. This quartet has been in existence for twenty-one years. It consists of Adolfo Betti, Alfred Po-chon, Felicien d'Archambeau, and Irvan d'Archambeau, all noted string artists. The European record of the Flonzaley Quartet is as great as is its history in ! America. These four artists played to-1 gether with an understanding and in a manner deserving great praise. 1 Schipa Ends Season. j Tito Schipa, world famous lyric tenor, who appeared on May 6th, gave the final touch to a successful musical year. Not only did Tito Schipa touch the height of art in song; he sounded the very depths of human hearts. That he pleased his audience can be best shown by the fact that his program was doubled by encores. . Taken as a whole or individually the concerts have been a success and now that the first step has been taken students of B. S. N. S. will not lack opportunities of hearing good music in the future. Much dramatic talent has come to light among the students of the Normal School. The Normal Drama Club, an all school dramatic organization, and the Thespians have had a very live membership and have put on some really excellent productions. The Drama Club, which has charge of all the Normal plays, has held to its schedule of one worth-while play a quarter. In the fall quarter it presented "The Show Off," a comedy take-off on life, which was very well received. Bradley Dodge played the part of Aubrey Piper, the self-satisfied man. The winter quarter brought "Old Lady 31" another comedy. It was the story of one lone ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1925 May 22 Supplement - Page 4 ---------- WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASH. TWO YEAR TEACHER CREDITS FROM NORMAL ACCEPTED ELSEWHERE School Year Divided Into Twelve-Week Terms. Four FIVE FOUR-YEAR COURSES By DR. IRVING E. MILLER Chairman of Curriculum Committee. Curriculum is an awkward word borrowed from Latin. Its plural is curricula. In the original tongue, the word means a race, from the Latin verb curro, I run. Curriculum is also the term applied to the course over which one runs. By analogy the word has come to mean in English the course of studies over which one runs, so to speak, in completing the work of a school. In modern school usage the words course and curriculum have come to be differentiated in meaning. A course means primarily a single unit of work in the school career of the pupil. For example a course in psychology runs for a semester, a term, or a quarter. Its -completion entitles one to a certain number of credits—two, three, or five— which may be applied to the total number of credits required for the completion of a curriculum specified for graduation. All our courses run for a period of one quarter (12 weeks) though any course may be followed by others in the same subject. Variety Offered. We use the term curriculum to apply to a series of courses running through a period of from two to four years, all of which are prescribed to accomplish a unified purpose. That purpose in each case is to give the best possible training for a particular type of teaching position in elementary or junior high schools. To this end we offer the following two-year curricula: Primary, 'Intermediate, Grammar, and Rural. Four-year curricula are provided in the following lines; One for Primary, Intermediate, and Rural school teachers, one for Junior High School teachers, and one in Supervision and Administration for the training "of elementary school supervisors and principals. Are of College Grade. Outstanding features of our curricula which differentiate them most markedly from those of most other teacher-training institutions are the following: Definite prescriptions in much needed 'background subjects in general science, history, and English—all taught with special reference to the needs of elementary school teachers; the integration of courses in technique of teaching with the work of observation and practice; the enrichment of the work in "music, art, and industrial arts; and the sharp focussing of all courses on materials and methods necessary to realize carefully defined teacher-training objectives. All the courses of the various curricula are of college grade in the demands which they make upon pupils. As compared with the work of the best liberal arts colleges, they demand as good previous preparation, as high a degree of native inteligence, and as severe standards of achievement. We believe that the profession of teaching calls for the best native ability and the highest type of professional training. Colleges and universities accept credits from Bellingham Normal without question. A graduate of this school can enter college or university as a Junior. Credits earned here can be counted toward degrees. Bellingham Normal, therefore, offers easy first steps in higher education. On the other hand, Bellingham accepts credits from other institutions, and students who have done college, university, or normal work elsewhere need only transfer their credits to Bellingham to be able to continue their work here. Excess credits, earned after graduation, from a four-year accredited high school are accepted at the rate of ten normal credits for each high school unit.: This offers a decided advantage to those who have done post graduate work. With this broad basis of credit exchange it is possible to begin one's education in any of the higher institutions of learning in the state and to finish wherever one chooses. Bellingham offers a wonderful opportunity as one is able not only to go to another school later if he desires, but also to teach after two years and thus earn the money for this further education. RURAL TEACHING GETS SPECIAL ATTENTION Extension Classes Co-ordinated With Actual Work. TRAINING SCHOOL IS IMPORTANT FACTOR Students Given Actual Experience in Teaching1. Rural school teaching is finally coming into its own. Preparation of teachers thus far has been mostly for the city schools. A new movement has been put into practice in Bellingham and adjacent rural schools with a view to training students for good country school teaching. Extension classes have been organized in which teacher training for rural schools is being co-ordinated with the teaching in these schools. Twenty students have been placed in eleven rural schools in Whatcom County. These student teachers are assisting regularly employed teachers in the rural districts and the work of both regular teachers and student teachers is supervised by Miss Orpha McPherson of the Normal School Faculty. Three cadet teachers have also been placed in rural schools in Mason County and are being superintended by Miss McPherson with the assistance of Mr. Bennett Howard, rural supervisor of that county. Extensive Course Offered. Miss McPherson offers an extensive course in methods and observation for the rural teachers. Twenty teachers meet together once a month, on Saturday, each time with a different teacher and at a different school. Miss McPherson, the County Supervisor, and the County Superintendent take charge of the demonstration classes which are held in the morning and for which the children turn out 100 per cent. o PROGRAM IS ARRANGED PROFESSIONAL VIEW IS AIM OF NORMAL SCHOOLS Education for teaching is the chief value and aim of the Normal inasmuch as it gives suitable training in that field from a professional point of view; but it offers also an education for the needs of life. Many special fields such as music, art, gymnasium, or science may be studied in connection with the required work. This gives the individual student an opportunity to fit himself for life according to his needs whether in teaching or other lines of work. Since a college or university will accept a Normal School graduate as a Junior, the Normal may be used as a stepping stone to higher education. Two years in Normal give a wider variety and more interesting course than the usual first two years in college or university. It offers a very good opportunity for those unable to take more than two years of higher education in that it better paves the way for self-development as the courses are more rounded out than in institutions where four years' work is required. No Tuition. No tuition being required and living expenses being very reasonable the Normal offers an opportunity of attending school for the purpose of deciding upon one's life work. = The Bellingham Normal is particularly desirable in many respects, one of which is its location on Bellingham Bay, where the climate is always mild and agreeable. The Normal itself is of sufficient size' to accommodate a large number of students and possesses an able faculty First Week's Schedule for Fall Quarter. 8:00-12:00 Registration of Sophomores. 1:00-5:00 Registration of Sophomores continued. 2:00 Assembly.

Instruction in correct posture and improvement in personal appearance': will be offered by the! Physical Education department. This; is an opportunity for.those who wish to have a better understanding in regard to a correct mechanical use of. the' body, Teaching is"inevitably and essentially a social process; hence one of the most/ important qualifications of a teacher is a good teaching personality. This involves among many things: Physical control—^that is characterized by assurance and confidence. / Posture—that is erect. Alertness of Movement. A voice^-that is clear and pleasing, even in general tone but capable of modulation to express different shades of meaning. Address—meaning the ability to meet people. with poise and unaffected interest and sincerity. Tact—meaning the, ready-power of appreciating a situation and the ability to act as circumstances require, v . ,'•••, Sympathy—the ability to put oneself in another's place and feel as he feels. Leadership—that is gained not through compulsion and coercion, but through real strength of character and a mastery of situations which others respect. Good posture may be defined in many ways: , ... . "An erect posture is an expression of intelligence and character." •"It is not a static • thing. It is that use of the body which is most effective in any situation; that bearing which best expresses the mental state appropriate for the occasion. Good posture i s , a thing of dignity, spirit, and grace, which has i t s roots imbedded in -a groundwork of good mechanics." ,. . "Good body mechanics means the correct poise and control of the body with the normal. f unetiohing of every .organ/' •Those who are interested in re-'' ceiving this special instruction please sign up in P; E. office,, room 17.

LOCAL GIRL GIVES PLEASING RECITAL Horterise Yule, Formerly of Bellingham, Delights Audience With Varied Program. Hortense Yule, recently of Chicago Musical College, gave her first local concert of this season in assembly, Tuesday morning, July 6, at 11 o'clock. Hazel Hammer Hill was accompanist. . Miss Yule, after graduating from Bellingham Normal, studied music in Seattle under Barbazon Lowther, in Bellingham under Harison Raymond, and in Chicago under Mable Sharp Hergien. She will continue her studies this winter in New York. In the program presented. Tuesday, the cameo clearness and simplicity with which Miss Yule' gave the wide range of interpretations was unusual in so young an artist. The Aria from "II re pastore," by Mozart, to which Arthur Thai played the violin ob-ligato, was enthusiastically encored. The first group was largely classical consisting of Spirate, pur Spir-ate, by Donaudy; Etienne Marul by Saint Saens;-L' Heure Silencieuse by Victor Staub and Alleuja by Mozart. However, it was "The Lass with the Delicate Air" which literally enraptured the audience. Miss Yule gave it with much "charm and grace. *'• Miss Yule possesses poise and! dignity in addition to her gifts as a singer with a wide scope of repertoire.

Mr. Hall is one of the most desired lecture entertainers on the platform, as well as one of-the foremost authorities on the life and problems of .the Orient. His lecture was most interesting; During,the Japfnese penetration of Shantung, Mr. Hall traveled through the province in Chinese costume, sending out the first confidential reports of the Japanese scheme to swallow up* that province. Some of the dispatches, to which he appended the code phrase "up close" to indicate the attainment of his objective, were, given out to the press, and an editor ran the stories as by "Up Close." The name evolved into "Upton Close," which "horn de guerre" as the Atlantic Monthly calls it, Mr. Hall has used in most of his writing since.- Mr. Hall is' recognized as an authority on Chinese politics and life in China. He is the author of the book of amazing adventure, "In the Land of the Laughing Buddha" and of "History of China—The Story of the Immortal Nation." His novel of the nationalism in China,.

A. Irwin, of the Education department today. Although this country is young and shows many marks of youth and adolescence not found in older communities, he said, yet it also shows ability to grow and to make progress. The Bellingham Normal, declared Professor Irwin, is a growing institution and one of which we may well be proud. It fills a .distinct educational 'need in this section of the country. . The time is not far away, he said, when only those holding a degree will be elgible for teaching in Junior High Schools. In fact, in some sections of the country this is already a requirement. to i Leave- at 5 A; M^ lstiari Cabini Friday Goal, CliinbHto Top on Saturday. , gt;Next;-Friday morning; at five, o'clock a party of hikers will leave the campus for the annual Mt".

We all have some influence on some person. If that person is homesick or blue, or; in trouble, we can at least do our best to cheer him up and make him happier. If we know some person who is a stranger in the school and know that he is very lonesome, the least we can do is to go to see-them and help him to make acquaintances about school. As we pass from class to class we should remember the saying "Smile and the world smiles with you" and smile.

Is Education Finished The oldest school house west of the Rocky Mountains, near Victoria, B. 0., is beirfg converted into a museum of historic articles. , Four million children, more or less, closed school doors forever during commencement season this year. Society has done its bit by them and is letting them go out to sink or swim in the strangest, most difficult and complex civilization of v all history. Most of them have finished only the elementary school or. less. How many of this four million are going with' a cock-sureness born of ignorance of the things that count ? How many have had their school training geared, into life needs? To a much larger extent, perhaps, than ever before, for teachers are better trained, maturer, and wider in their outlook year by year, and yet America is far from the goal. Wealthy •America is spending less annually to train recruits for its teaching army than/the cost of constructing two first-class battleships. . There is as much culture in an appreciation of ten varieties of roses as in an understanding of ten theo-rems in geometry or a score of Latin verbs. The onward sweep of mass education is forcing schools from the kindergarten to the professional college to give students not what a past generation thought they should have, but what an analysis of today's life shows they must have if they are to make the most of themselves. s. The child's time is infinitely precious, and teachers now realize that they cannot teach him the value of vention. time and energy by driving him through what to him are trifles. No school subject is worth teaching that does not command enthusiasm. There will be off days, but the child is not afraid of hardships. It is dullness from which he would escape. Children's tastes and preferences are being consulted today in remaking course of study. The student knows what the teacher at times seems to forget—that interest is the first law of living. By getting his education in the study of things which to him are meaningful, the child gives his life a significance, a sense of action and personal responsibility, a zest of discovery, and a technique of learning that last through .the years. A committee of. the National Education Association has defined, the ends of education under seven heads. They are health, use of the tools of learning, worthy., home membership, vocational effectiveness, citizenship, worthy use of leisure, and development of character. Let the child learn to take monthly and yearly inventories under these heads. He will then discover that life and growth mean learning. He will then understand that schooling is merely a foundation upon which to shape an intelligent 'life. . After school will come the glories of wider and freer learning aided by all the/wonderful creation of modern science and in- A Cherokee Indian girl has been awarded the one thousand dollar prize offered to the man or woman doing the most benefit in the first year out of college.

Second grade workmanship has resulted'in a small hand reel which is used in spinning thread from the cocoon of. a silk worm, and fifth graders have been engaged with the construction of a. miniature African .village and a study.of American Indian life. Some of the Indian relics exhibited by the grade were: Indian moccasins, a canoe, dipper, a canoe paddle, a tomahawk, and bows and arrows made by Indians on a reservation. Baskets made by the Alaskan Indians were shown, and upon- completion'of the display, one of the fifth grade girls told the assembly an Indian legend.

The. sixth grade reflected the. character of some bf their school activities by giving a pantomime of what they had done the preceding Friday.

Harry Appleton, who is leaving, has been editor for the past five quarters, starting the spring quarter of 1924. In an interview with a Messenger reporter, Mr. Appleton expressed his complete confidence in the new editor and predicted a successful paper next quarter. Vivian Holcomb, new secretary to the Board of Control, has served as a student representative on that body for the past four quarters. In view of her knowledge of Board procedure, Miss Holcomb was adjudged the one best fitted to take the place left vacant by Rose Gray's decision to attend the Friday Harbor/classes in science the first six weeks of next quarter. The Board also decided to change the size of the pin awarded a member for four quarter's service. FRIDAY—June 5. Philo beach party. W Club initiation and picnic at State Park. SATURDAY—June 6.

Tripple of Seattle, in company with D. F. Trunkey, state representative . from Bellingham, visited the Normal School, Wednesday to survey the needs of the institution. Pres. C. H. Fisher showed them around the buildings and after quite a thorough inspection had been made the committee reported that they had observed that among the schools greatest needs are a library and a gymnasium, and that these should be provided as soon as possible. Also they observed that the school is too crowded. The legislators said that they are in: terested in a building program for state institutions in need of more room and they will have something to say when the legislature sits again. The committee lunched at Edens Hall. The Normal will also be inspected during the early part of the summer by Governor Roland H., Hartley, who is making a survey of EastenrvVashington schools at' present. Mrs. Maude Sweetman, another member of the King County delegation in the house of representatives and a member of the house educational committee, arrived in the city Wednesday afternoon to also examine the needs of the school, accompanied by Mr. Trunkey. She was very favorably impressed with the present conditions and the future nee/ls. ANNOUNCEMENT The Normalstad picnic which was planned for Saturday, June 6th, has been called off as it was found it would con-flick with the Alumni Banquet. Since there have/ already f been two picnics, ,; one'iheday of the^ Chuckanut gt;Marathpn and!1 Another oh the Sneak .Day, it was c though ;;; of ^the •; school;ftp; making the banquet ;a |,"; lt;»jirpte^^ Equally as entertaining ana good as the previous Normal Drama~Club plays, "The Potters" is ready for the presentation on Monday and Tuesday' of next week. In Heywood Broun's criticism of it, he says: "I think that McEvoy (the author) is a realist. I think that he is the sort of stout-hearted truth-teller that American dramatic literature has languished for the want of, already much too long. "I have called McEvoy a realist partly because he does not try to pretend that the life of the Potters is any better than it is, but more because he seems to me to be so truthful in this matter of life's saving grace. He does not try to foist on us any conviction that anything can come along and make Mr. Potter's life actually better. What he does say is that about once in so often Mr. Potter will be attacked by a sort of divine lunacy, and will go out and buy an oil well, or throw some other grotesque anchor to windward, and will be revived by it, whether it is successful or not. He says further that Mr. Potter cannot help doing this. Miles are Measured. "Once upon a time, man's duty to the race was fairly measured by the amount he could add to the total of man's usable environment. It had to be measured in miles. Now the miles are measured and the maps are made. But the explorers cannot stop. There are ourselves still to be understood. McEvoy has pried into us. He has brought back one authentic story. His place is waiting for his next return." (sto,moreulyby....l Baccalaureate Services for the June graduates will be held in v the Normal Auditorium,, Sunday, June 7, at 3 P. M. The address will be given by Rev. Cleveland Keihaur of the University Christian Church of Seattle. The girls' "double quartet will sing.

Previous Newspaper Experience Is Necessary. PLAY DAYJELD TODAY Training Schopl Plays on Campus This Afternoon. The first annual Play Day for the training school is being held today on the campus. At the beginning of the day the children are having their lunch on Sehome hill. Activities on the campus will start at 1:30 o'clock with a posture parade. The grades from the second up to the. eighth will take part in this parade. Five judges have been chosen to decide which grade will receive first place in the posture parade. The points to be judged upon in this are whether the children march with their heads and chests up, expresing an ease of movement in marching showing also that they can carry themselves in an erect, mature position. Each Grade Entertains. At the close of the parade, the children will sit on the grass and each grade in turn will present either folk dances, singing games or stunts for the entertainment of the other grades. This is selected from the work they do the year round. For the conclusion of the program, the youngsters will scatter to their various groups about .the^campus, where they will play and take part in games suitable for their age. gt; It is- through the efforts of Miss Rich, Miss Frank, MhisSkailey arid Mr. Davis that this Play^ Day has beenarranged. : Student helpers7 will assist in the pro- ^gram.'v.';?..;r.: ; ,v;i^'-/.:\-•:•;;:'•.."',:••:';:}. i:-^v\V;- Tomorrow evening the Alumni association of the Normal will have its business meeting and banquet for this year's graduates.

The new W men, in the midst of their misery, extend the deepest sympathy to Miss Headrick, whose name recently appeared in the agony column of a local paper, as having been turned up for being a year older. Vacancies are now open for two new members to the Editorial Council. Margaret Black who was elected last quarter, and Rose Gray elected during the fall quarter are the members leaving. Rose Gray will be gone for the first six weeks of the summer quarter.' The members of the Editorial Council, meet once a week to discuss and criticize each issue of the paper. Many changes for the better have come thru their efforts Last quarter there were seven applicants for the two positions then open. Previous experiences on the Messenger, some other college paper, or its equivalent is required. Candidates for the position should turn their names iff to Mrs. R. Hussey, or the Editor of the Messenger. o LONG JOURNEYS ARE PLANNED BY FACULTY Vacations Take Instructors Over Seven Seas.

Second only in point of service to Mrs. Hussey is the work of the Associate and Make-up Editors, Mary Hibner and Velta Learning, and the Editorial Council. Eeeeiving no pay of any sort save the 3oy of improving the paper these students have labored diligently and to some purpose., And would it be out of place here to suggest that pins, fobs, or some other token of appreciation for service rendered be given hereafter to those members who have been on the Council long enough to have their worth attested? Some of you have not been slow to tell me what you think an editor should or shouldn't do. Now let me give mv ideal of student reaction to the school paper. An absolutely merciless criticism would be paramount. Which does not mean, that physical violence should be threatened for misspelling a name (yes,- it really has happened). It simply means that you should not he afraid to point out what you think is wrong with the paper, at any time. Nor should you be at all backward with your praise for the improvement in the paper. Just remember that each change is made, not for the personal satisfaction of the editor but to t r y to give you a better paper. REPORTER ENDS TRIP IN TRAINING SCHOOL Grammar Grades Are Last to Be Examined. r '•- • (By Anna Hansen) Going on through the seventh A grade we found them working out a radio project in which both the boys and girls were taking part. They were learning the various parts, the history of the radio and how to make one. The seventh B's were doing extensive work in learning the description and habits of birds—they were able to name and describe over fifteen varieties as well as recognize them when seen. Both of the divisions are planning an assembly in music in which folk song are to be the main theme. A secret as a surprise to the rest of the pupils was connected with this with which the children were much delighted. The Merchant of Venice with the study of Shylock as the principal character, was being prepared as part of the regular work in the eighth grade room. Later this is to be acted as a play without the costumes and given in the assembly which will no doubt prove the ability of these "Elizabethan" actors. Orchestra Important. An eighth grade Glee Club and Training School orchestra are other important features of this group. As a part of a future musical program in the assembly they are going to explain the orchestra . and give a. history of the musical instruments While the regular Thursday assembly which displays some grades activity to the enjoyment of all seemed the most popular phase of the indoor school life, baseball was the supreme outdoor favorite. Girls play against boys and teams against teams with the keenest enjoyment and good fellowship.'

Many are disappointed for then, it will be no easy task to secure signatures for their "Lest We For: get" Column. Why wouldn't it be all I right for the student association to se-jcure for each student a blank double ' page, matching those of the Klipsun, and one that could be attached inside the back cover of the book later on? These could be sold for just a few cents to each-student, Monday and Tuesday of next week, and the desired names could be secured before school is out. Just a slip of paper, but to some it will prove invaluable. —I. ' South Africa has followed Great Britain in a return to the gold standard.

FitzGerald and !Leach led at 5-3, point match, 5-4, 6-5, and 7-5, but at each crucial time, Broadbent and Hannah's tournament experience came to their aid and they pulled out" of each hole, finally copping the last set 9-7.

The boat arrived at Olga at about ten o'clock, and twenty-five girls, accompanied by Miss George and Mrs. Vaughan, started on the climb up Mount Constitution, while the others, with Miss Frank and Miss Skalley, hiked to Mountain Lake, a hike of about two and one-half miles up the mountain road. After four hours of climbing, the hikers reached the top of Mt. Constitution, a hike of about six and one-half miles. Those who had not eaten their lunch on the way up, enjoyed theirs at the top, and it is reported that, some who, had brought enough for two meals, found that they were not the least bit uncomfortable after eating their whole lunch. Those who went to the lake, enjoyed a day of swimming. The boat left Olga at five o'clock, and all those who went reported a good time. Foiled.. Terence: "'Tis a fine lad ye have there.

This was done in various ways, some baked theirs in pans, some rolled the dough around sticks, and others" twisted it spirally around sticks. Anyway, the biscuits, were a real success. Baked Beans Served They had beans "baked in a hole." The beans were prepared early Monday morning by Sarah Farmer and baked by Ella Evanson who got up early in the morning and dug a hole in thd ground, lined it with rock, built a fire i nit, and later in the day put the bean pot into the hole. They were acclaimed by the girls to be the most delicious beans they had ever eaten. Cocoa, and bacon were also served. After supper there was a program of different kinds of demonstrations. Miss Myrtle Carlson and Ailo Osterlund built and demonstrated various kinds of outdoor fires and their uses. Ruby Foster gave a demonstration on "How to make Trails" by means of stone, grass, smoke, blazing, etc. Practice Tying Knots Alice Vaughn and Elsa Schubert taught the girls how to roll their ponches. Agnes Sunnel taught them how to tie several important kinds of knots and everybody practiced making them. After that they sang songs around the camp fire and acted them out in motion. They also had a marshmallow toast. Miss Gunther was guest of honor. Miss Rosene, leader of the group, was also with the girls. Some of the things learned at the picnic will be practiced at the end of the quarter when some of the girls will go camping and sleep outdoors.

Initiations are one of the traditions of any modern college and its traditions are thus emphasized—a thing this school needs. ' ' • In any college in the country, initiates are called Upon ot appear at school in rather embarrassing attire or under embarrassing circumstances. . The broadminded professors, those who haven't slipped into the rut, recall when they were called upon ( t o do these things (if they were in the school activities) and are big enough to overlook a little disturbanve which an initiation might cause in their classroom. o vwwwwvwwwwwwww LOVE ONE (By POP) Four athletes from the University of Washington will go to Chicago next week to participate in the National Intercolliegate games at Stagg Field.

She was led into the dark, quiet reception room and greeted by all the girls as the lights suddenly flashed on. Taps were, ignored and the evening was spent in singing and dancing. The girls presented Miss Headrick with a beautiful desk set. At a luncheon in the Leopold Hotel Tuesday afternoon, the newly formed Mt.

This work has been done with the aim in mind of standardizing conditions among the approved houses and of improving such conditions as are found to fall below the requirements of the school. The information has been brought together in the form of a questionnaire, covering the following points: Name and experience as housemother, whether the address of housemother, number of years home is rented of owned, method of heating and lighting house, kind of fuel used, plumbing conditions, ventilation facilities, laundry privileges, number of bathrooms, provision for hot water and baths, extent of living room privileges, and the type of furniture for the rooms. A floor plan, accompaning a chart of the individual room's of each home, serves to give very detailed information concerning the size of rooms, ventilation, types of beds, advantages and disadvantages of furnishings and the cost of room per month. A double filing card 5X8 inches has been prepared, giving all this information regarding each house. Index System Used. An index system is used which facilitates the work of locating the homes offering the conditions desired. For instance, one student may desire a bay view home with single room, furnace heat, and with use of piano. Another may wish a double room with sleeping porch and housekeeping privileges, at a distance not exceeding three blocks from the school. One only has to press the button, as it were, and such homes as meet the conditions are brought from the filing case in a twinkling of an eye. Accompaning this general information is specific information regarding housekeeping accomodations, conditions under which cooking is done, equipment furnished, etc. Further work will be carried on by the health committee next year in checking up the combination of food used in the diet of those doing light housekeeping and the healthful conditions prevailing. Bellingham's rare musical treat is. to be given by the University of California Glee Club in the Whatcom High School auditorium tomorrow night. Twenty-five favorite songs representing the best talent to be found in the big "U" have a varied program of classics, popular numbers, jazzy orchestrations, and clever antics that quite captures every audience. A tour of Europe and the Orient has just recently been completed by the club where- big hits were made in Shanghai, Honolulu, Hongkong, Berlin, Manila, and many other leading musical cities. The expenses of the trip were raised by the entertainments, and critics everywhere are loud in their praise of the delightful and fascinating style and high grade Vof program. Clinton Morse, director of the club, was a student member thirty, years ago. After extensive study in this country and abroad, he was well qualified for the position, and much credit for the club's success is due him. CLUBS GIVE PROGRAM Different Repersentatives Give Clever Attraction. Last Tuesday's assembly was given over to a joint recital of different clubs of the school. Mary Culver had charge of the program, which was varied and interesting. Readings, songs and music renderings and clever sketches were included. The clubs represented were the Philos, Thespians, Alethians, and the MacDowell. Candidates for the board of control were nominated and presented. The candidates nominated are, Inez Clark, Elsie Holland and Floid Van Eet-ten. o V W J W W W W W W W W W W W The Alumnae Association of the Cheney Normal recently established a student loan fund. Th loans bear no interest and the names of borrowers are not given out. So far ten girls have taken advantage of the fund. o The Messenger is in receipt of a sample volume of the book "Copy," which contains a collection of the stories, poems, drama, and essays of the students of Columbia University. Each of the works is reprinted from some national magazine, which testifies to the excellence of the productions. TRAINING SGHOOt HlSlTORy IS GIVEN Birdseye Vie\^ Obtained of Practice Grades. EDENS HALL INFORMAL SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR The Wisteria dance, given as the spring informal at Edens Hall, was decidedly the best dance of the year. The reception hall was beautifully decorated to give a Japanese affect. A fence with wisteria and vines climbing over it, hid the fireplace and a garden gate carried out the idea of a garden. During the moonlight waltz, the best dance of the evening, a large mooa peered from behind the fence. Two girls dressed in Japanese costumes, served the punch. The favors were tiny butterflies on one of which was printed the name of the girl. Larger butterflies were used in the decorations to carry out the spring time motiff. The excellent music was furnished by Schirmann's orchestra, and was enjoyed by about fifty couples which made the hall comfortably full. Much credit for the success of the affair is due Geraldine Windes, social chairman, and her various hard working committees. • -——o——- Miss Jones' spent Wednesday of last week visiting the boys' and girls' training schools of the state. The school for the boys is at Chehalis, and the one for girls at Grand Mound about ten miles from/Chehalis.

The sports include track, baseball, tennis, archery and hiking. At no other college on the Pacific Coast, Mrs. Anderson said, are there so many women taking part in athletics.

Friday, February 8^ 1924 l^ikings Expect Claae (Jame With E Normal Team Loses To Cheney Savages 38-M GREATLY OUTCLASSED BY SPEED AND ACCURACY Burpee is High Man Displaying a brand of basketball of big college caliber sufficient to win from any man's team ir^ this locality, the Cheney Normal Savages took the Bellingham Normal Vikings into camp last Saturday, to the tune of 38 to 11. The visitors seemed perfectly at home in the big' Fairhaven gymnasium and played the whole floor in a manner calculated to arouse respect in the most ardent Viking fan. The Vikings-were fighting all the way but had not had the necessary amount of practice in a large gym to meet the .class Cheney displayed and were fairly swept off their feet by the speed and accurate passes of the Cheney aggregation. -' The Savages played a four-man defense with Jack Pickering in the "hole." Then whenever they got the ball under the Viking's basket the first pass went •r to Pickering and he and two others would take the ball down under their own goal usually for a short shot. Although big, the Savages were also very fast, and had the basket located from the start to finish. They did not have to try many long shots but made a goodly percentage of their short ones c.Qunt. ...Burpee, the .large .ralid...accurate '"''"' Cheney center, was high point man of the game, with 17 points to his credit. Although he easily had the jump on Rankin it was neutralized a good deal by the way Maurie Thomas shot in to get the ball on the tip-off. With the ball in their possession the Vikings usually took one long shot before losing it. Luck was not with them, however, and few of the trys were successful. In the last quarter «Coach Carver made several substitutions, , and judging by the remarks on their performance, Graham, Simonsen alld Wilder will make some of the regulars hustle to keep their positions. The line-ups were as follows: Bellingham (11) Cheney (38) • Vanderford (5) ....

PERFORMANCE OF "GRUMPY" APPRECIATED "THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR" PLAYERS' NEXT OFFERING GRADUATES OF MARCH HOLD CLASS MEETING At 10 o'clock, Wednesday, January 30, the March graduates held a meeting with Clyde Burmaster • as chairman, to discuss the graduation exercises. The class voted to have no formal graduation exercises, thereby following the / precedent of the December graduates. Each member of the class will call individually for his diploma. A committee was appointed to plan the announcements and arrange for their ordering. , :—o - YELL LEADER ELECTED "Grumpy," the successful dramatic hit of the Players, was given in the auditorium Friday night, with every seat taken and standing room hard to obtain. The Normal Orchestra, led by Mr. Williams, played several selections between acts and before and after the performance. Mr. Hoppe Successful. Mr. V. H. Hoppe, as Grumpy, displayed wonderful dramatic ability and held his audience throughout the evening. The remaining members of the cast carried out their respective parts with flashes of talent: especially J. H. Kelly as Heron, the patient lover; Len An-stett as: .Ruddock, who. acted the ^part of, half companion, half valet to Grumpy," and G. B. Chichester, as Jarvis, the villain of the story. . Two more performances of "Grumpy" have been scheduled, one at Everett, under the auspices of the Everett Drama League, and the other at Fern-dale high school by invitation of the Ferndale Chamber of Commerce and the high school student body. These performances will bring the total number to ten. Tlie players have begun rehearsing again for their coming offering. ';Tlie House Next Door," the popular comedy given by them last season. It probably will be billed for the last days of February. WASTING TIME L ALL/(fUSS DR. HART TALKS TO STUDENTS AT ASSEMBLY Discusses 'Uncle Sam and the World."

Dn Hart discussed the present and probable future relations of the United States with Australia, Asia, Arica, Europe and South America. A few remarks on the much-advertised Bok Peace Plan closed the discussion, after which questions were called for. Of most interest to the students of the school probably was Dr. Hart's review of the situation and Uncle Sam's prestige in .the Latin Americas, and the discussion of the Japanese immigration problem. After the lecture it was generally admitted that Dr. Hart had left something, for the students to think about. STUDENTS TO HEAR COLLEGE GLEE CLUB VALENTINE'S DANCE IN BIG GYM.

Ten new members were initiated into the "W" club last Monday evening, in the little gymnasium increasing the membership of the organisation to twenty-three. All of the incoming lettermen were permitted to ride an unusually wild goat, which had been prepared for the occasion. Some were none the worse for the experience while others, although they still bear some evidences of the encounter, are on the road to recovery. Plans were fonnulated for' an entertainment to be given in the assembly by the club at some coming date1 near the end of the quarter, and also for a ' "W" club dance next quarter. The men. who were initiated into the club are: Nate Coles, Alvin Anderson, Kay Goodman, Dick Bruland, Donald Beardsley, Frank Bartsch, Howard Wilder, Clyde Burmaster, Ruel Knowlton and William Elder. He: A kiss is the language of love." She: "Well, why don't you say something?" "Spark Plugs" Drop a Close One. As a preliminary to the Cheney-Bel-lingham Normal game, last Saturday night, on the Fairhaven, floor, the Normal second team lost a close one to the Edison Hi quintet. It was featured by the many long shots both teams attempted more than anything else. Bruland and Broadbent were the individual stars for the.Spark Plugs,' while the honors appeared rather evenly divided among the Edison boys. It was the second close game the Normal seconds have lost to the Edison five and they seemed to have, the Local's number. o Faixhaven-Whatcom Game. Whatcom,finally succeeded in breaking Fairhaven's winning streak when they defeated the latter, last Friday, on the Whatcom floor. Both teams had been "pointed" toward this game for some time but Leach, the lanky Fair-haven center, was evidently off form and the whole team .slumped. With Leach sick, and later taken out, the speedy Whatcom lads ran rings around the league leaders. Time after time the elusive little "iKeppy" evaded the Fairhaven guards for open shots at the basket. The shooting on both sides was rather poor for the class of teams involved, the South-siders missing enough foul shots alonFto have won the game. The game, although ragged in spots, was fast from the opening whistle until the timekeeper's gun at the finish. That it was hard fought throughout is evidenced by the final score which was 15 to 9 in favor of Whatcom. o — W. A. A.

Fourteen new pupils were enrolled, in the kindergarten class the first of February. B. S. N. S. Sets Example. The merit of Bellingham Normal's system of organization is being recog-. nized by other schools anil much the same forms being adopted by them. The Normal school at Lewiston, Idaho, is making changes, which when completed will be very similar to those here. Some time ago they staged a contest to select a name for their school teams and after much competition chose "Pioneers" as their title. A compulsory assembly rule was recently added by them. For the first time they are publishing a "Blue" book, which is very similar to otis in subject matter. It is being put out by the student association, and paid for by local advertising.

A favor dance was one of the main features of the evening. The boys were given hearts and the girls arrows upon which appeared corresponding numbers. The numbers were matched, the partner obtained, and his heart pierced by the arrow. Punch was served during the evening. Fifty couples were present. o y. w. c. A.

There have been more changes in the educational field in t h e l a s t t h i r t y years t h a n in t h e preceding' t h i r t y centuries.

The I n s t i t u t e for Public Service says in a recent circular letter, t h a t "Instead of recruiting the ablest young people into teaching, American colleges and universities are advertising arid abetting the selling points of other professions. Of six hundred colleges and universities' catalogs, having a- combined circulation of over two million readers a year, only one s t a t e s the rewards, opportunities, a t t r a c t i o n s , and durable satisfactions of teaching; two have teacher-recruiting references other than statements that the demand exceeds the supply or that placement bureaus will find jobs for graduates; thirty-seven mention an increasing demand for trained teachers, though not for the sake of recruiting able men and women into teaching, but t o promise places for those who have already" decided t o teach. Even training schools for teachers address their catalogs t o convinced juries of young people already recruited.. Teachers Recruited. The one selling argument for teaching which was found in six hundred catalogs is by the College of St. Catherine, a t St. Paul, Minn. Every girl, parent, or teacher who reads t h a t catalog finds at the top of the page these teacher-recruiting words: "Prepare to teach; America needs you. Your leadership, your intelligent service can make school communities progressive, happy and prosperous. Your preparation for teaching is a safe investment ; it pays - dividends in salaries based on the service you are able to give; it pays also in durable satisfactions,- for while teaching admits you to the privilege of training the youth of t h e land, it also allows for continued self-development." tion of remedial measures. There never was a - g r e a t e r challenge t o the 700,000 teachers of the Nation t h a n now. DO YOU KNOW THAT A person's knowledge and character determine what he is; t h e character of his relations w i t h people largely determines what he can do? School is not a prison, neither is it a picnic ground; it is an opportunity and a duty.-—Jacob Boss. —— o •• A prominent educator has said that the modern school embodies four great aims: 1. To teach children the physical properties of things. 2. To impart social ideas and skills. 3. To encourage certain personal attitudes. 4. To lead to the mastery of the school of arts. w Dr. Winship's Speech. -Making .his eig^hth address before the members of the Bellingham Normal, Dr. E. A.; Winship of Boston, editor of the New -England Journal of Education, gave a t a j k at t h e regular assembly on Tuesd a y , ' F e b r u a r y 6. -\ Dr. Winship made t h e ' p l e a t h a t the people' of today, especially those- who contemplate teaching, be aware of tod a y ' s progress and the opportunities in t h e future rather t h a n dwell in the thoughts of yesterday. As was said by an eastern paper, he himself is interested in prophecies; not reminiscences. Talks on Progress "Some teachers are so ^far in t h e background that they even wish that the number of high school students had not increased one hundred per cent as it has in the last eight years. They wanted only t h e students who were inclined toward books, then they could devote their entire time to them instead of t r y i n g t o get the pupils interested first. '"America has progressed exceedingly rapidly and is continuing to do so. It is t h e teacher who comes in direct cont a c t with t h e boys and girls who can influence the future of the child and America." President Fisher spoke t o the student assembly of the Ellensburg Normal on Thursday, J a n u a r y 31, a t 3 o'clock His topic was "Some Obligations You Have as Students." He reported that he found a splendid student body with fine spirit. I n the evening Dr. Fisher attended a dinner given by the faculty which was preceded by a brief reception which gave Dr. Fisher an opportunity to meet all members of t h e faculty. A discussion of teacher training problems followed the dinner where Mr. Fisher spoke, giving the end of the meeting to a free discussion. S t a t e School Director's Convention. From Ellensburg President Fisher went to Olympia to a t t e n d the State School Directors' convention. Friday evening he attended a banquet at the Olympian Hotel where t h e three Normal school presidents spoke. Mr. Fisher gave an address on "What is a Teacher?" Saturday morning he spoke to the convention on the subject "Training of Teachers" which was followed by a lively discussion by the directors in attendance. .

Over half a million children are in school part time for lack of room in school buildings. In many other respects millions of children are denied an equal chance for lack of public sui port. Thousands of teachers are pushed against the wall, struggling at low salaries and under unfavorable conditions. The individual teacher working alone can do little to remedy this situation, but many teachers pulling shoulder to shoulder in local, s t a t e and national associations can secure the adop- PATRONIZE MESSENGER ADVERTISERS Electric Grid Only $2.00 Electric Curling Iron $1,50 F u l l y Warranted Used Electric Heaters and Oil . . .

It is hard to understand the attitude of f un-niaking and ridicule assumed by not an inconsiderable portion of the student body at Saturday evening's Viking-Savage game.. : ' The situation, as nearly as the/paper has been able to analyze it, is as'follows: Friday morning several students of the school were asked to try out for the position of yell-leader. One of them was elected. He knew of his election Friday afternoon. Saturday evening he was expected to lead the cheering. iv ..-,: The Students' Association chose a man who was practically new to the school,- he had never heard the yelling of the school before, and he had never had an occasion to learn the school yells thoroughly. He was chosen because there was promise in him. Did he not deserve the backing and support of those who elected him to office? Did he not deserve the help and sympathy of the rooters? When cheers different from those, generally used by the school were suggested, immediately a section of the group begins to make fun of, and ridicule, the leaders. Something different means that something is "off." Cheering should be done as the leaders ask. Generally,, they know better than the majority of the rooters what should be done; and generally they can do it better than the rooters could. There should be co-operation and strong support. If the leaders want something new. it is the duty and responsibility of the crowd to pay attention and follow directions. Were the leaders to blame for the misunderstanding arising ofi last Saturday's game? Hardly. The rooters were responsible. Everett Club Party. ' The members of the Everett club yere entertained Monday night by Miss Long, at her liome on High street. The evening was spent in playing games. The climax of the evening was reached when Mr. Marquis was presented a consolation prize in the movie star contest. Plans were made for a "Leap Year Pro-lie," to be held February 29. "Dot" Howe was appointed chairman of the committee. Later, refreshments were served. Those present were: Anna Sherwood, Roberta Wood, Marian Smith, Sophia Roterniundt, Ethel Nesheim, Mary Reep, Grace McKinnon, Dorothy Turner, Marie Jeffries, Mary Weber, Helen Parsons, Dot Rowe, Evelyn Gus-tafson, Jessie Esty, Ruth Younge, Carrie Fournier, Iha De , Rose, Borghild Strand, Fanny Molyneaux, "Dyna Mite," Dalberg, Miss Lasley, Mrs. Daney, Mrs. Marquis, Mr. Marquis, Mr. Long, and the hostess, Miss Long. OUR YELLS. What are the right type of cheers for college rooters? The aim of course is results. Cheering is done to help the players. It also stands to reason that simple cheers are as effective, or more so, than the longer, more complicated, ones. It may also be accepted that the simpler ones are easier to "get across." Then why not simpler ones? Other schools and colleges have already discarded the yells of the type of "flippety Hip," and have replaced them with chants,' and cheers of the type of "Yea! Bellingham!" They are finding the change a wise one. •Why should we not adopt the college type of yell? It is easier to give and just as effective. A Leap Year Formal will be given March 7 in the Social hall by the Clef club and the girls of the orchestra, for the Boys' Glee club and the boys of the orchestra.

This makes the third straight victory for Coach Carver's machine since the season opened shortly before the Christmas vacation. The •prospects are now sob right that an invasion of Eastern Washington is planned. Negotiations are on foot to bring our old rivals, the Cheney State Normal School team, to Bellingham. FAIRIIAVEX DEFEATED TWICE Two of the three victories that opened (Continued on page 2.) E ANNUAL STORY POEM AND ESSAY CONTEST IS STARTED The work on the 1921 Klipsun is progressing very rapidly. Mr. Hansen and Mr. Erickson are working with much effort to make the Klipsun for this year the best that the Normal School has ever put out. The photographer is already busy taking pictures of both faculty and students and many of these pictures have been turned in to the editor. The engraving contract has been le,t thus making it possible for the work of the engraving to start immediately. Great interest is being shown in the story, poem and essay contest which is being carried on for the Klipsun. Suitable prizes are to be awarded for the best story, poem or essay which is turned in. Two dollars and a half will be awarded as the first prize, and a cloth bound Klipsun is to be given for the second prize. In order that the annual be complete, every student must take an active part and contribute as much material as possible. Jokes, snapshots and cartoons are necessary in order that the school will be able to put out a Klipsun that the school as a whole will be proud of. It is hoped students and teachers will keep this in mind and carry out all suggestions which the officers of the Klipsun propose. BEI.I.IXGIIAM STATE NORMAL SCHOOL ARE CHOSEN SPEAKERS TO OPPOSE THE CHENEY NORMAL ARE SELECTED Two debate teams have been chosen to oppose the silver-tongued orators of Cheney on the 21st of February. The question selected for the debate is: "Resolved: That a sa prerequisite to the right of strike or lockout, employers and employees should be required to submit industrial disputes to arbitration, the machinery for which to be furnished by the U. S. government." The affirmative team consists of Herbert Hansen, Hilda Topp and Lambert Craver, with Florence Swanson acting as alternate, while the negative will be supported by Elsie Minor, Reuben Aim and Gordon Squires. Alvin Hannah will serve ,as alternate for the negative team. The debaters are hard at work and have great hopes of winning victories on both sides of the question, thereby winning the much, coveted loving cup presented by Guy Allison. B. S. N. S. 10 EUROPEAN RELIEF FACULTY AND STUDENTS TO ASSIST EUROPEAN SUFFERERS Dr. Nash Is Busy as Usual Dr. Nash has begun the new year as strenuously as he closed the old. Not only has the chairmanship of the Northwestern Division for European Relief called loyally of his time, but he has given a number of lectures to various organizations throughout the state. He spoke to the Boy Scouts at Liberty Hall, addressed the community gathering on European relief, gave " The Story of the Passion Play" at Avon to an audience of approximately five hundred. He attended the state convention of Sunday School workers in Seattle, and participated with other directors in the Y. M. C. A. services held at Trinity Church last Sunday night. To date the Normal has contributed six hundred and thirty-four dollars to the relief of starving Europe. This means that more than six hundred little lives may be saved by the generosity and doubtless sacrifices of our students and faculty. Mr. Bond was in charge of this school's contributions. Mr. "Weir, as secretary of the community service, headed the city committee, while Dr. Nash was chairman of the entire northwestern division. It isn't yet too late to join in this giving. Remember, it is the children who are suffering the most in Europe — the children who are the hope of the future! B. S. N. S. Captain Cook Coming- to Normal Dr. Nash, while in Seattle, made arrangements to have Captain T. G. Cook visit the Normal in the near future. Captain Cook is a specialist in recreation and play work, and state athletic officer of the American Legion. He provides institutes for promoting leaders in recreation and play work. Captain Cook will hold a five-day program in the afternoon or evening at the Normal in the near future. B. S. N.S. ALKISIAH BULB SALE The eighth annual bulb sale of the Alkisiahs was an artistic, as well as a financial success. Several months ago many bulbs were planted by the club, in time to bloom for Christmas. Seventy paper-white narcisSas plants and many bunches of berried holly were arranged for the sale. This unique custom has been successfully carried out for the last few years by the Alkisiahs. PUBLIC TO BE GUEST OF NORMAL L NORMAL IS TO HOLD OPEN HOUSE ON 12TH OF JANUARY Exhibits to be Shown Our school is to celebrate open house day, Wednesday, January 12. The doors of the Normal will be opened wide and a cordial invitation extended to the public to inspect all of the departments of the school. Dr. Nash, president; Mr. Olslager, registrar; Miss Woodard, dean, and Messers Olson, Kirkpatrick and Whitcomb, trustees; students and members of the faculty will receive the guests. It is hoped not only the people of Bellingham but those interested in the Normal throughout the state will respond to this invitation. The open house will begin at 1 o'clock (Continued on page 2.) L STUDENTS RENDER MUSICAL PROGRAM OF XMAS CAROLS At a fitting climax to the various Christmas festivities enjoyed by the different departments of the school, the program which the training school gave to the entire student body at the last assembly period before the holiday recess was much enjoyed. From the duet of Paul Wells and Dorothy Lasher,, representing the first and second grades, through the songs of the upper grades, to the Normal chorus, the pupils reflected great credit upon their supervisors, student teachers, and Mrs. Thatcher, who directed the program. One of the most pleasing features was the songs by the pre-primary with their subsequent discovery of the Christmas tree and fireplace. Their remarks were lost, however, by applause from the audience, after twice being requested by Dr. Nash to make no applause of appreciation for the little ones. When will Normal students realize the importance of their duties as listeners? B. S. N. S. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Wallace, of Kansas City, announce the birth of a daughter, Frances Jean, December 25. Mrs. Wallace, formerly Miss Cleata Pickett, is a niece of Mrs. Munn and a graduate of the Bellingham Normal. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1921 January 7 - Page 2 ---------- 2 THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1921 THREE VICTORIES ANNEXED BY NORMAL (Continued from page 1.) the season were from Fairhaven. On the 23rd of December they came to Normal to play, a strictly practice game. All spectators expected Normal to wipe the floor tip.with Fairhaven, but so well did they phvy and check that although Normal was able to maintain a slight lead throughout the entire game the final score was as close as 19 to 18. Although defeated, Fairhaven was considerably encouraged and desired another opportunity to t r y its skill with the Normal quintet. The second game was played in the Fairhaven gymnasium last Wednesday with the result mentioned above. Herbert Yorkston, one of last year's letter men, is back in school and made his first appearance in this game. Yorkston showed up well and will be a vital factor in winning the remaining games of the year. The summary follows: Normal (25) Fairhaven (10) Jenkins f Foltynski Yorkston f Larson Crum c Linstead Burpee g Gates Inge g Reddick Normal field goals, first half: Jenkins (2), Yorkston (2), Crum (3).

VANCOUVER VANQUISHED Ar.so I n the opening game of the season on the 18th of December the Vancouver Ex- Normal team from British Columbia was defeated by a score of 25 to 1.9. The Normal team had been turning out but two weeks at that time and was not in the very best of condition. The first half ended with the Vancouver team leading 14-12. Accurate shooting and passing by Max Jenkins in the latter half enabled Normal to reverse the score and finish with a victory.

Down in the training school is a small boy by the name of Ralph. To his playmates he is known as " English." The reason for the nickname is that Ralph came to Bellingham direct from Cockney, England, about five months ago. While his class was practicing for the Xmas program the teacher asked if anyone knew the meaning of the word " hail." " I know," piped up "English," " It means a pint o' b e e r !" ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1921 January 7 - Page 3 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1921 ummmiiittmmm HI »' iitiiimmmi iiiiiiiiimmimiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnip. e^5Smi»!«miiimiraimiiiiiiiimiiumi"ni«ni'™«"«'"««" ^.'•iniilliiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiiiiiHiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiniliiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiiiih^ Here we are again!

We wondered why we did not receive a paper from you on a certain week and later we found out when one of our friends sent us a clipping from the Kodak about us. We weren't angry, so if you do say anything about us don't be afraid to send us a paper. * * * We have several new exchanges on our list as a result of some request that we sent out some time ago. Hope others appear soon. * * * The Pantograph is a six-page paper published by the students of the Kansas City High School (Kansas). They call their local news " among the fourteen hundred." Evidently they have different ideas on the subject than O. Henry had. Incidentally our present editor-hails from that high school. We say " hails" because they do that in Kansas. Also she proves that " The girls grow tal lin Kansas." * * * The Sea Gull comes to us from Raymond, Washington. It is a fine little paper of six pages. We got so interested in reading the jokes that the time we had to write our copy had flown. Come again! * * # The Weekly Original is from the Marietta (Ohio) High School. The exchange editor has a very clever way of writing up his notes. He writes them in the form of a letter in which lie recommends the different papers to " Percy." * # * The D. H. S. Porpoise comes from Daytona, Florida. It is, perhaps, our most distant friend, coming from the southeastern corner of the United States to the northwestern corner. We don't know how far they are in the " corner," but we are on the sound and 27 miles from the Canadian border. * * # The Explosion comes from the Glen-dale Union High School, of Glendale, California. It is a newsy little paper and devotes a whole page to sports. Get the most possible out of your school work. Work with eyes free from s t r a i n . Consult Woll, 205 W. Holly. The Little American comes from Doty, Washington. It is a co-operative town and school paper and is published by the students of the high school. # * * The one thing that we miss in most of our exchanges is the exchange list. We think that this is just as important to our papers as the leased wires are to the big newspapers. This is our way of passing on news and should be in every issue. B.S. N.S.

Prospective teachers were made happy by the announcement of Superintendent Weideman of the city schools regarding the work of our cadets and the encouragement he extended regarding vacancies in the Bellingham system in the future. His address in assembly Wednesday was one of the sanest and most helpful we have heard this year. Our congratulations to Bellingham for securing a superintendent of such practical and progressive ideals! THE KLIPSUN CONTEST Students and faculty are hearing much about the Klipsun contest these days. A quick way for students to gain fame is to enter the contest and win a story or poem prize. All students ought to be concerned in the welfare of the Klipsun and desire to make it a great success. For it is going to be a success—• the best annual ever published by a Senior Class of this school — and when it is too late some may wish they had contributed J The business of the school is not to furnish hammocks for the lazy; it is rather to train us to carry the yoke of life's loads. A sign of a great mind is to be able to recognize a great opportunity and seize it. It is our opportunity to get an education now and may none of us be guilty of idleness. TURNBULL HEAD OF CONSOLIDATED DISTRICTS F. A. Turnbull, a familiar and popular figure about the Normal halls a couple of years ago, has sent to Dr. Nash a souvenir program of the happy consolidation of several districts into school district No. 45, of Kahlotus, Franklin County. Mr. Turnbull is superintendent and principal, with six teachers under him. A program was given in honor of the event, consisting of music, speeches and a three-act comedy called "A Political Dream." Y. W. C. A. A large number of girls enjoyed the Y. W. C. A. meeting held last Thursday. Christmas songs were sung and Christmas messages were given by Miss Woodard and Florence Swanson. The idea of what joy and happiness can be given to others by doing some little kindness was emphasized. More Christmas cheer is given by showing kindness and consideration to those who are in need. A beautiful solo was given by Pearl Ingalls.

Mr. Warde has been on the stage many years, and his subject for the evening was " Fifty Years of Make-believe." " I consider four things essential to success," said Mr. Warde in his opening address, "health, love, work and happiness. " I have had all four in abundance, and fully appreciate each. I have celebrated my fiftieth wedding anniversary and am still young." In speaking further of the life of the stage Mr. Warde said he had worked earnestly and sincerely for the success he has gained. " I t means study, self-sacrifice, loss, gain and never-ending toil, but it is well worth, the price, for I have been glorified by truth, illumined by beauty, and have gained' a great sympathy and knowledge of humanity by my contact with really worth while people." Mr. Warde's father was a village schoolmaster and his mother a farmer's daughter who were both unwilling that their son should adopt the stage as a profession, eager as he was for success behind the footlights. Finally he met a manager of a small company who said the youth had a pleasing appearance and a good voice. He gave him a place in the company as " general utility" at 15 shillings per week ($2.75). Mr. Warde's second play was in " Macbeth" and he was cast in a minor role. After nine months of getting " broken in," he was given a part in a play with several London stars. " I was greatly indebted to Mr. Chas. Cal-ven for my first successes," declared the actor. " I soon found myself in the same company with Henry Irving and John McCullough." Then followed engagements with Edwin Forrest, Mike Morgan, Charlotte Cushman, Aimee Robson and Adelaide Nielson, who, by the way, was the best Juliet I ever have played Roemo to. In 1876 Mr. Warde met Edwin Booth and played with him in " Hamlet," Mr. Warde in the role of Laertes. He declared there is no difficulty in comprehending the beauty of Shakespeare if it is studied thoroughly. Mr. Warde spoke further of his great friendship with Douglas Fairbanks and how the boy first made success under his management. Douglas is the same blessed boy as when paid $20 a week," earnestly said Mr. Warde, when speaking of the boy he had fathered for so long. " Of all my company who has scattered far and wide, I know but few now; and at the present, time I have five friends from my compny who have become clergymen, thus the church and stage have been brought nearer together by a better knowledge of each other. Mr. Warde spoke of the difficulties often encountered in his stage career and also gave many very humorous incidents from its other side. His years on the stage have broadened and ripened his sympathy with humanity and his imagination, when asked if he had ever grown tired of the stage he declared, " Never! I may wear out on the stage, but I never expect to rust out." The great things he had longed for when a boy in Oxford, England, the place of his birth, 73 years ago, are being fulfilled, and today we have one of the most versatile, clever and distinguished entertainers of the day in Frederick Warde, actor, lecturer, enthusiast! B.S.N.S. THESPIANS Thursday evening, December 16, the Thespian Dramatic Club held their regular business meeting in the auditorium. The following officers were elected: President, Archie Erickson; vice president, Betty Graves; treasurer, Elsie Minor; secretary, Frances Durham; reporter, Mrs. Edna Anstett. Preceding the business meeting a reading, " Katie's Answer," was given by Madge Callahan, followed by the " Pavalowa Dance" by Bernadine Ar-ant. Following adjournment the Thespians responded to the very cordial invitation of the Rural Lifers and attended the interesting and well illustrated lecture on Italy by Dr. Nash.

Let us remember that this week!!! ? # * * Much fun and good will was manifested on the boat on Thursday before Christmas when the crowd of Normalites went to Seattle for the holidays. Archie Erickson was present, so that meant our school was remembered by a few rousing cheers and yells. Ruth Willets possessed an ever popular ukulele, which was in constant use. * * # Mr. Louis Morganthaler, a recent student of the Normal, was a visitor at school last Monday. Mr. Morganthaler, who has been teaching school at Mansfield, Washington, reports a successful school year so far and an agreeable community. Mr. Morganthaler also reports that he can hardly wait for the Christmas holidays to pass, as he is very anxious to get back to his school work. * * * Mr. Ritter, a former student of the school, visited Normal last Monday. * # # Interest in community singing grows. Many of the teachers and students of the school are showing great interest in the community song work which is being-carried on with great success throughout the country. Mr. L. S. Pilcher, who has been giving instructions in the leading of community singing for the past few weeks, has developed some very fine song leaders who have already started to carry on this splendid work in nearby communities. Mr. Coughlin, Mrs. Smith and Mr. Edgar Berkland are some of our Normal friends who have already distinguished themselves in this work. During the last week, these people, along with others of the Normal School, have taken part in community singing programs which have taken place outside of Bellingham. B.S.N.S. WORD FROM DR. HE RUE IN THE TRAINING SCHOOL Student Teacher: " Mai'ion, can you tell me what a myth is ? " Young Hopeful: "Yeth, it ith a woman who hath not got any huthband!" Johnny had a dog named Ginger — He spent his time in doggish naps. "Will h bite me?" asked a stranger. John said, "No, sir; Ginger snaps.' Several faculty members received holiday cards from Dr. A. C. Her re, a former instructor at this school, who is now government inspector of fisheries in the Philippines. Dr. Herre is enjoying his work very much, and will be joined soon by Mrs. Herre and his son, Albert, who left early in December. At present lie is located at the Pasig, the oldest part of Manila. Dr. Nash also received the following interesting letter from Dr. Herre: Manila, P. I., November 11, 1920. My Dear Dr. Nash: I shall try to dictate to you a short letter, which I trust yon will pass on to my old associates among the faculty. It seems odd to be here in the midst of typcial June or July weather while you people are undoubtedly having frosty weather, or perhaps even colder. It is not as hot now as when I came, but is still quite warm; the lightest of clothing is required here at all times. The bay of Manila is very extensive, the harbor proper of the city being separated by a long breakwater. There is nothing very attractive about the city as it is seen from the vessel, though in clear weather bold and rugged mountains are seen in every direction. The city lies in what was once a mangrove swamp, now, filled in and reclaimed, but it is very flat as a result. The original city, founded by the Spanish more than 350 years ago, is known as Intramuros and some of the old wall and gates are still standing. Part of the wall is quite modern, being erected about the time of the American Revolution. Within the walled city were very many churches, and their associated schools, convents, monasteries, hospitals, forts and government buildings. There are few residences, though many of the old buildings have long had their lower stories used as dwellings or people have been huddled in the rear of the patio. The houses are all two-story, stone or brick covered with stucco to look like stone, the only entrance being through the great double, barn or fort-like front door from which a gloomy hall or crypt leads back to th epatio. The windows on the street level are guarded by great massive iron grill work, often quite fancifully curved, while the second story projects several feet over the street. The streets are very narrow and were never intended for modern street car and automobile traffic. The sidewalks are very narrow, mostly wide enough A STORY IN EIGHT WORDS Boy, ice, skate, nice; Ice thin, boy in. for one person though sometimes two people can walk abreast. Most of the hauling and farm work is done by means of the caribou, a large mouse colored, ungainly, short-legged animal with enormous horns. Usually they are smooth-skinned but some of them are scantily clothed with long, coarse, reddish hair. They move with great, or perhaps I should say, excessive slowness. Out in the country one may see them wallowing about in the mud and water, enjoying a siesta. From post cards you may get an excellent idea of the horns and general appearance. There are many automobiles here, but there are very, very many rigs here called in Tagalog " Carromato," in very poor Spanish, calose. They are a two-wheeled cart with a top and are drawn by a very pitiful and insignificant kind of a native pony, the degenerate descendant of horses originally introduced by the Spanish, but not kept up to standard through lack of attention to breeding. Two or three of the car- Newton 5 Incorporated WOMEN'S APPAREL OF QUALITY January Clearance Brings many sharply reduced prices on modish and practical Goats, Suits, Dresses, Blouses, Accessories KEMPHAUS C CO.

Practically everyone smokes here, men, women and children, even quite small girls though the tendency is for the practice to die out among the better educated girls. The Tagalog costume for women is very noticeable and I doubt not, is very well adapted to the climate. The head is bare, the hair being both long and luxuriant. Large earrings are always in evidence, often very expensive. Over the underwear is worn a waist of some kind of very thin but stiff fabric, a good deal like crepe; it may be of various colors, red, white, blue, pink, black, etc. The sleeves are very short and very large around so that they stand out from, the arms all around several inches. The skirt has a short train which is carefully pinned up at one side so as to show some of the embroidery or lace on the petticoat. A peculiar kind of slipper completes the costume, though again many are beginning to wear stockings. It seems odd to see a woman with large and expensive diamonds while she wears no stockings and has her toes thrust into these slippers which impart a very shuffling, scraping, awkward gait. The men dress in write if they can afford it, though police, constabulary, and many others wear khaki. If a white coat is not worn a very fine shirt is worn as the outer garment; this is often of very thin and delicate material, very gaily figured. The shirt is always worn outside the trousers when a coat is not worn; this is a very sensible thing too, in this climate. After a time I expect to make some trips to various parts of the islands and shall then have something of general interest to write again. Very sincerely yours, — ALBERT C.

The evening of diversified amusement included several readings by Mrs. Smith, and chorus singing led by Mr. Coughlin. B.S.N.S. ALKISIAH A Christmas party was held at Miss Baker's home the Frida ybefore vacation for the Alkisiah Club. All the girls took Christmas sewing to work on. The room was beautifully decorated with Christmas trimmings. About 10 o'clock refreshments were served, after which the electric lights were turned out, leaving the room illuminated by the light from candles and a blazing fire in the fireplace. Songs were also sung, after which the girls returned home, pronouncing a very enjoyable time. HUMOR OF GEOGRAPHY TEST A NORMAL STUDENT'S FATE Will be sad indeed if he, or she, does not subscribe to the Weekly Messenger and have the same mailed every week to his or her school. Especially as when one is teaching infinite miles from nowhere, one could not long remain " normal" without this paper to break the monotony, and you will want to know what is going on at the old school during the time that you are gone, and it will give you a great deal of pleasure to know what good times your friends are having at the places where you used to go. Cut out the slip given below, fill it out and give it to Mr. Bowsher with the money, and you will be immediately placed on the mailing list. If you have already left school, mail the slip to the " Weekly Messenger."

This was one answer to the question in the recent geography examination. Other answers to the same question: " Because there is so much room for them to root around in," and " Because the American people like hog meat." Some of the answers to the other questions must have given the correcting committee many a laugh. A few of the best are given below: NEW FACTS AROUT GEOGRAPHY The capitals of Japan and China: (1) Topeka and Hong-Honk, (2) Korea. Inland cities of Europe: Bordeaux, Bridgeport, London. City of Washington is in: (2) N. W. T., (2) Ore. Territory. St. Paul is in Minneapolis. Sitka-is in Alberta. Savannah is in Cuba. Galveston is in New York or N. Carolina. Spokane is in Idaho. The reason England has difficulty with her food supply is that the land is all torn up by the war. The part of Asia that resembles Canada is India, because the British flag floats over both. Rivers of Asia: Rhine in Germany and Rhone in France. Tiger and Nile Congo. Reasons why, the world looks flat: It goes so fast. It is always moving. We are so near-sighted. These newly discovered facts should prove of great interest to the people who write our texts, since they did not before include them. WATCH IE P A I R I NG CHAS. F.

Fellow Sufferer: — Thirteen years ago it was the misfortune of the Normal to have me as its editor of the Messenger. Since that time the paper has grown, both in size and in value. In this growth I am pleased and knowing how frowsy contributors feel after a holiday season I thought I would forward a little squib inspired while I was in Bellingham recently. While stopping at the Leopold, it was my misfortune to be placed in a room adjoining that occupied by a real honest-to-goodness snorting sonambulist. As a result of this night of unholy thoughts I arose with vengeance in my mind. This is the result. Very truly yours, G. S. ALLISON ' THE SNORER (With no apology to the source of inspiration.) There are sounds which always soothe us, Such as murmuring little rills, Warbling birds and little children, Pattering raindrops, whip-poor-wills; And our tired brains grow quiet As we doze in peaceful rest, 'Till, in oft repeated accents, We're awakened by that pest — The snorer. We can understand the reason Why the Thomas Cats still live, Even though they yowl at midnight On the back yard fence, and give Such unchristian thoughts to sleepers Who're awakened and feel sore, But the cats sound like sweet music To that bird who riles our gore — The snorer. Buzzing saws are like Carusos, Crowing cocks like Jennie Linds; Howling coyotes are melodious, Hoot owls sound like little wrens, As compared with those long drawlings, From that rumbling, snoozing shoat — That unmuffled sleep disturber Who can always get our goat — The snorer. We can stand the crawling cooties, Can endure domestic strife, But the one who drags us downward From a good and decent life, Is the fiend who sleeps, near by us And from early night 'till morn, Keeps a steady bawling, yawling, From his proboscitic horn — The snorer. You would ask for a solution Of this rasping, screeching file, I suggest that he be banished To some far off desert isle, Where he'll live in sweet contentment, Where he'll make nobody sore, For he will be in harmony With the ocean's steady roar. The snorer. — GUY S. ALLISON Geography class teacher: "Why did our soldiers cross the ocean . Happy: "To get on the other side, of course. You can't stick me on one of them questions." Dick Newton: "I don't think I should get a zero on this exam." Mr. Bever: " Correst, but that's the lowest mark I know of." An optimist is a man who doesn't care what happens, just so it doesn't happen to him. LIARS There are three kinds of liai-s: 1 — The man whom others can't believe. He is harmless. Let him alone. 2 — The man who can't believe others. He has probably made a careful study of human nature. If you don't put him in jail, he will find out that you are a hypocrite. 3 — The man who can't believe himself. He is cautious. Encourage him. Mr. Hunt: • "How many zones has the earth?" Brilliant Normal student: "Five." Mr. Hunt: " Correct, name them." Student: Temperate zone, intemperate, canal, horrid, and 0. SINGERS As the celebrated soprano began to sing, little Johnnie became greatly exercised over the gesticulations of the orchestra conductor. " What's that man shaking his stick at her for," he demanded indignantly. " Sh-h! He's not shaking his stick at her." " Then what in thunder's she hollering for?" B.S. N.S. AN ACTUAL OCCURRANCE A pupil, fourth grade, taking Monroe silent reading test. The paragraph read: " The teacher told James to buy a book, pencil, tablet and eraser. He bought the book, tablet and eraser, but forgot the other." "What did he forget?" Pupii: " The change." Another: " Blow, blow, thou winter wind, Thou are not so unkind- As man's ingratitude; Thy tooth is not so keen, Because thou art not seen Although thy breath is rude." Question: " In the above .paragraph with what is the wind compared?" Pupil's answer: " Decayed tooth."

XXDC-^NO. 11 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, August 16, 1929 MORE AWFUL FACTS DEANS, DEANS, DEANS COMPUTATIONS YE PROFS DIARY By G. W. L. Philos Hold Picnic At Samish, Monday Reckoning what a big school earns and spends is some job for t he student of arithmetic, but with aid from the dean's offices such a computation is possible. In the history of school journalism how many times has the green newsgatherer been assigned to pore over the dean's records in the attempt to find how many in school were working, what they were doing, and how many in the list had funny names? From dead reckoning a littie less than $100,000.00 is earned by formal students throughout the school year of eleven months. Jobs varying from sweeping, which claims the majority of workers, to moving-picture operating, paying all the way from thirty-five cents to $1.65 per hour, are engaged in. Jobs like these are filled by deans' offices over the country. It is at the University, of California where over one million dollars are earned by part-time work. Men usually lead'women in part-time positions, but not always. But even in a Normal school where the fair sex are naturally in the majority the men lead, according to proportion of their total numbers. And while deans are being written about there's one at the U. of Vermont who has held his job for just sixty years. An old tinier is George H. Perkins, who came to work for the first time in September, 1869, and who still maintains the title of dean and professor of anthropology. A note to those who take the game too seriously sometimes to suit those who play for the joy of playing, comes from Miss Helen Wills, when she says: "Foe never let tennis be the thing that mattered most . . . Tennis is lots of fun —but it's only a sport". She expresses the sentiments which all amateur sportsmen and sportswomen can follow to advantage, not only from the viewpoint of making sport worth while, but also as a means of improving their own playing. W : THE NEXT INTERNATIONAL COLLEGIATE CONFERENCE IS TO JBE HELD IN HAVANA NEXT FEBRUARY. OVER SIXTY COLLEGES OF FIRST RANK FROM WORLD CENTERS ARE PLANNING FOR REPRESENTATION. W—: Startling facts against even the best of Normal schools as a whole were unearthed by an eminent educational leader representing the United States at the World Federation of Education Associations, held in Geneva. The representatives. Dr. Waller S. Athearn, claimed thai the host of instructors going out of the normal schools and teacher's colleges were unacquainted with the teaching material available for moral and religious education, and that teachers had little reasoned judgments on the ethical problems of democratic citizenship. Before leaders of 30 nations, Dr. Athearn staled that out of 85 normal schools and teachers' colleges'in the United States, 65 offer no courses intended specifically to prepare their students to develop the moral character of their pupils, although all 85 announce character education. Only eight institutions were found to offer any courses in philosophy, it Was significently pointed out. .

Mi-sciS MEET IS COMPLETE Students and Faculty Members Turnout in Large Numbers to Support the Contesting Teams. MAKES TUP TO FRIDAY HARBOR 1 U H C A L STATION Opportunity for Combination of Work and Recreation Especially Exceptional to All Who Teach. FIFTH SUMMER SESSION Laboratories Built Last Summer Are Complete in Every Respect And Aid in Satisfactory Work. EATS CLIMAX THE FUN And did we have a good time, bar none?—I only had one, by the way. This Summer's sport program has been unusually good, and the record was topped off last Wednesday afternoon in an unusual way when a whole galaxy of students invaded Waldo field in the form of four teams—the blue, the red, the green, and the orange. Order of Events Fifty-yard dashes, towel races, potato races, three-legged races, couple races, back races, sack races, object relays, wheelbarrow races, man-carry races, baseball games, and in fact, every kind, of a race possible was on the program. And President C. H. Fisher must have shot the pistol fifty times and didn't hit anything. The meet was exciting, and not a single person was seen to leave the field until after the last gong had| rung. By the way, the best race was the fifty-yard dash for eats. First the Blue team would get ahead and then the Red or Green would creep-up. Excitement ran high, as the end of the meet drew to a close with the baseball games. The Blue team defeated the Green team 7 t 6 and the Red team defeated the Orange team 10 ot 5 in two five inning games. Then the winners played resulting in the victory of the Red team over the Blue side. Reds Won Meet Due to the fact that the Red team had the largest number of participants on their side, and thereby were gifted with fifty President C. H. Fisher spent Tuesday of this week at the Friday Harbor Biological station. Accompanying him were Mrs. Fisher, Mary Fisher and Charles Fisher. He found there an enthusiastic and satisfied group of students and an equally enthusiastic and satisfied group of instructors. Dr. Robert B. Wylie, professor of Botany, University of Iowa, is in charge of the course in Plant Biology, and he is assisted by Miss Doris Mullen. Miss Hilda Rosene of this faculty has been in charge of the course in Animal Biology, and she has been assisted by Mr. Alfred Baker. Students and instructors have only words of praise for the profitable and happy time they have had this summer. Some students said that they never accomplished so much in such a short time. The instructors were complimentary in their comments on the ability shown by the students and the amount of work and the grade of work accomplished by them. Fisher Impressed President Fisher says that he was again impressed with the idea that Friday Harbor offers an exceptional opportunity for the comibnation of work and recreation, especially for those who have been teaching. The courses combine field work and laboratory work and thus offer a natural setting for the learning of biological science. This work was started in Friday Harbor five summers ago. For four summers the courses were offered in temporary wooden laboratories which were rather unsatisfactory. About' the middle of last summer the new laboratories were completed and were used by the students for a few weeks. The, new laboratories are complete in every respect and are proving to be a wonderful aid to satisfactory work. Forty-Two Enrolled This summer there have been forty- two students registered in the courses which is about as many students as should be enrolled in these courses.

Baker Lodge. Lower still the river beds through, which all the mountain gorges find their conductor to the sea, could be viewed. Private Cars Used The hikers left the campus Friday in private cars, journeying as far as Shuksan where they disembarked in favor of transportation oh foot going about a mile and a half to the base camp where a luxurious camp supper was served. After dinner they -formed themselves into two groups and tried to see which group could outdo the other in singing. I n the morning a loud report of what the girls thought was Mr. Bond's two-shooter awakened the sleepers. The aroma ot bacon and egg* kept them from going back to sleep as they might be accustomed to doing. The next stretch of hiking took them to the Pass, where they found that they had thousands of anxious friends; who were eager to gret them. The hikers were not so affectionate however and slapped flies away constantly, one hiker, claiming he killed seven at one blow. However, after mixing themselves up in the coffee and other food they decided to reterat "and it wasn't until supper time when the rice pudding was served that the raisins were confused with flies. But thanks to Miss Gunther, they were all genuine Sunkist raisins. - Station KYBO After dinner the crowd was divided into five groups each of which put on a little playlet. Miss Weythman became the manager-director of Ruth Mountain Station KYBO. The chief announcer was Bob Waters, the rest of the gang becoming the Orchestradians, playing imported fine tooth combs. Mr. Ruckmick was the featured soloist but was outdone later by the eminent Professor E. A. Bond, who gained fame and fortune over the cold-blooded "Mike" and his unseen radio audience immediately clamored for an encore and later presented him with the prize winning loving cup. Mr. Bond was so moved by his success that he all but broke down and wept before the microphone of KYBO.

One Hundred Thirty-Eight Students Will Graduate from Normal August 23 T H E F R I D A Y H A R B O R BIOLOGICAL S T A T I ON Through the courteous co-operation of Miss Hilda Rosene and reporters at the Puget Sound Biological Station, we are able to give our readers some factual and personal information concerning the Station. Because the Station is out of our immediate vision, we are apt to forget that it is a part of this institution and to know and understand very little of the life and customs of our fellow students there. It is a most fascinating place—one of extreme beauty and rare opportunities for scientific study. It is a place to gain a ruddy, tanned complexion—the sign of health! It is a setting of thrilling adventures and incidentally, according to reports, a good place for developing romances—Yes, for has one summer gone by without ending in a marriage ? Evidently not. While it is a place of recreation it affords also, the finest of opportunities for studying sea-life and nature. Famous scientists have come to this Biological Station because of the excellent surroundings and many varieties of sea-life that can be found there. It is an ideal place to study the sciences and many of us doubtless will take advantage of the courses offered there next summer. ON W I T H T H E P H O T O G R A P H Y E X H I B I T! Prompting the furtherance of the fine arts as well as the industrial arts is the underlying purpose of the excellent exhibit in amateur photography that will be on display in the faculty room, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week. Such an enterprise as this, a thoroughly local undertaking, should become an institution in itself in a school of this size.- One of the Normal's main aims is to foster and promote the appreciation of and technique in manufacturing of the finer things in life. In this display we will find both the above aims accomplished. " . ' We will see and realize the artistry, the carefulness, and the technique that our fellow students employed in filming and developing the photographs. Lantern slides, sepias, and all the other intricate and delicate arts of photography will be shown in the exhibit. With such a variety of pictures and types of pictures as are now on hand, the exhibit, under the ever-keen guidance of Mr. Herbert C. Ruckmick, promises to be one of the most successful of its kind ever put on for the benefit of Normal students. We are proud that such an enterprise, rare in its kind, can be had here, and we sincerely hope that it will become an annual school function. J U S T SUGGESTIONS We students are proud of our new tennis unit and wish to tell the world so. We feel that it is all right for outsiders to use these courts if used when students of this school are not using them. But it is an awful job to have to tell outsiders to "please get off the courts"—a distasteful thing for both parties. Although not noticed often, there is a large Tennis Court Rules board in the old courts. Why not have a similar board of rules placed in an appropriate place in the new unit. Another suggestion would be to have a large blue and white sign board made to read " W A S H I N G T O N S T A T E NORMAL T E N N IS C O U R T S " and placed in the center of the fencing on High street. We are proud of our new courts and want to tell the world. —G. W. L. A G E D O E S N ' T C O U N T! Age should not be a serious impediment to the realization of our desires. An example is set b y j h e three sisters, all over sixty, who unexpectedly became wealthy, and found it possible to fulfill their life-long desires to play the piano. After taking lessons for a year and a half, each of them played fourth grade music. This is not a marvelous feat, perhaps, but it does make us feel rather foolish when we fix the tender age of twenty or so as being "too old to learn." ' —E. L. D O N ' T D I E O F ' W R I T E R ' S C R A MP The notebook habit! Perhaps a recent lecturer was justified in asking us to refrain from taking notes during his speech. Truly note-taking has become an obsession with us. Busily our pencils fly as we jot down every utterance of our instructors. Are we missing the gist of the entire lecture and retaining a number of facts of minor importance? In all probability if we continue, we shall die of writer's cramp rather than mental strain or intellectual fatigue. We're funny creatures, we human beings. We live life as fast and recklessly as possible, abusing Us every tenderness and bruising its every ideal, and never stop to Wonder about it until it's gone. ....Sometimes, when it's nearly gone, we find the- ashes in our fingers, but sighs and tears won't help them. Ashes Crey and shapeless At our feel. Ashes Of lingering life After defeat Ashes ' " • . . Crey as they way be And full of vain regretfulness Ashes • Are better in the end Than lives of loneliness We wonder when the purple curtain of our life has dropped—will we be able to stand aloof and see ourselves in relief? Will we then be able to see people —stripped of the make-up of convention, civilization, and education? These three great artists make-up the characters of life with a grease paint so permanent that we wonder sometimes if the soul can ever erase its traces even in the waters of eternity. AND AFTER ALL, IS NOT THAT PERMANENCY, A BENEFICIAL AGENT? We wonder if "G. W. L.", of the Normalette prominency, doesn't know that the normal man is not very interesting to himself when seen through his own colorless normal eyes. It is only when something attracts him as being different that he becomes interested. Is not that the reason why we Americans go to Europe and the ---------- Northwest Viking - 1929 August 16 - Page 3 ---------- WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. BELLINGHAM.

Considering the enormous number of other columns in. this paper, maybe the reader will consider himself not so terribly worsted after all. _ * * * * Approximately two thirds of all the men attending school for this quarter participated in athletics of an inira-mural nature. That is a good percentage, and a great deal of credit is due to Elwood Davis and Earle Jewell. Davis has had the added duties of Dean of Men thrust upon him, and all in all he deserves honorable mention even though he did start up a Coif tournament among the faculty that has caused plenty of friction. Half of them are not even in class once a week, and to see a faculty member at assembly Would be an innovation, just as- to have ice-cream for breakfast would be an innovation. But back, to the subject, the faculty have the ditching bug which is a close relative of the Coif bug. Davis was even too taken up with Coif once to to come out for an intra-mural baseball game, and the result was that his team won. What is this Coif? Why all the interest? Mr. Harry C. Philip-pi, of the Science department, is the latest member of that tribe. NOW, DAVIS, LOOK HERE, YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT CHALLENGES. And along comes Cuy Bond (brother of the best tennis prospect in years) and breaks his finger while trying to catch one of Earle Jewell's hooks. Tough luck, Cuy, old boy. For you to drop a ball is as rare as for your brother to drop a tennis match. * *.. * * But you know, did you ever stop to consider the number of errors that are made during one of the baseball games out on Waldo Field? A good many of them are the result of the terrible condition of the diamond. It is too bad that we can't raise enough of the necessary element to keep the diamond in playing shape. Waldo Field—is the name familiar? Do you recognize what is meant by the. term? When the field was first made, largely due to the efforts of President Waldo, who at that time was head of this institution, it was. christened. "Waldo Field" in tribute to the president who later returned to Kalamazoo, Michigan. The writer knows that the name has since been changed to "Normal Field", but the writer knows none of the details, nor does he understand the reason. In his viewpoint it would take an awfully good reason to cause the change. (So why the change? I challenge an answer!) —- * * * n „DEAR, OH DEAR, FELLOWS, REMEMBER YOUR BRINGING UP AND KEEP AWAY FROM THOSE TENNIS COURTS ON SUNDAY. NOW, REALLY, YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THAT!

A regular merry-go-round, so to speak, bah jove!—as they say in deah ole England. - * * *, *• Gordon Broadbent dropped out of the tennis tourney and left Earle Jewell top man...

TUBBY GRAVES GREAT The highly touted University of Washington squads that met the Bellingham Normal Vikings last Friday on Waldo Field met defeat that was outstanding in the annals of baseball, tennis, horseshoes and handball in this institution. A rather large crowd was out to see the Vikings easily defeat their rivals, and the only close battle was in the baseball game. ^ Baseball Close Miller, getting up to bat in the nineth inning, clouted out a three-bagger, knocking in the winning run which defeated the University nine by the close score of 9 to 8. Before the game, the mentors of Normal were undecided as to who to put in as chucker because no outstanding pitcher has been developed this summer. However, it was finally decided to put in Moe as pitcher \for the Viking squad and he certainly did a good job, being supported by a strong infield and a fair outfield. Graves Substitutes It was announced that H. M. Foster, head coach down at the U. would be up, and his arrival was expected up until 2:00 p. m. when Elwood Davis received a telegram in which Foster claimed that he was unable to make the trip. However, he sent along an excellent substitute in Tubby Graves, Freshman Football coach and Varsity Baseball coach down at the University during the winter sessions. He played first-base during part of the big game, and finished the game as catcher, but his real playing was with the stick. The way he socked the balls was a revelation to all the spectators, and a downright disappointment to the opposition. Tubby Graves was not only good at baseball, but he is quite a toreador. He knew how to sling the bull. Lee Rankin, trained by Coach Carver, and who was Fairhaven Coach for several years, and inci-dently, a graduate from this school, chucked for "the losers. It seemed as if he was not quite right on Friday, but even at that -he threw in some curves that some of the Viking batsmen didn't exactly like. Tennis Match Easy Gordon Broadbent and Cliff Duncan had very little trouble in taking the tennis doubles match by the one-sided score of 6-2, 6-2. It was a fast match, but the losers could not seem to be able to get behind, the hard, smacking drives of our team.. FROLIC SUCCESS Continued from Page One) points, they easily won the meet, with the Green team coming in second closely pressed by the Blues, who easily outdistanced the Orange aggregation. Best of all, the Faculty came out strong and did their part, and proved themselves to be very good sports. Practically all of them were out helping with the meet, and even though they didn't really enter in during the contests, yet they kept score, or judged and were generally useful. A great deal of the success of the meet is due to the four captains who have, for the past few days, been hard at work trying to put it over. Guy "Bond, Earle Jewell, Iver Moe, and Elden Bond were the four Captains of the Red, Green, Orange, and Blue teams, respectively. Elwood Davis and Miss Skalley also deserve plenty of credit. To put on such a delightful affair requires a great deal of preparation and it also requires a great deal of generalship and ability. No definite date was procured regarding the number of students out, but the Reds must have had been composed of close to 100 with the plus having about 50 or 60. Altogether there were about 300 students out and.'about 40 of the faculty. .i-;;v/.:.V-;.-.'; Broadbent Dro^s Out of Tourney, Jewell on Top Earle Jewell aarain tops the ladder in men's tennis, due of course to the withdrawal of Gordon^Broad-oent. The-final spurt in the ladder tourney might be somewhat deadened by the men's all-school doubles tournament sponsored by the P. E. department.

WELL RECEIVED ABROAD Concluding the assembly pro-grams for the summer quarter, the Jubilee Singers of the Utica Normal and Industrial Institute, Qf Utica, Mississippi, will present an entertainment of merit on Tuesday, August 20. In keeping with the high standard set for entertainers who appear in assembly, the Jubilee Singers have been chosen to give students an opportunity of hearing the characteristic negro music. Singers Are Internationally Famous The minstrels have become well known to radio audiences, having broadcast weekly^ programsxin the country-wide hook-up-of the National Broadcasting Company. They "have also made records for the Victor Company, Equally well received were their appearances, in cities of Europe, such as Vienna, London, Paris, where only the best in music is accepted. The native freshness and rhythm brought a new aspect of music to the appreciative Europeans. Natural Voices \ The Jubilee Singers do not have cultivated voices but possess the harmony; abandon and naturalness that marks the Negro Spirituals as a music of an entirely new order. It is so typical of that race, that it verges on Folk Songs. o Values Derived From Summer Session at Biological Station AriDej^ 1. I have learned to be more systematic and thourough. That de- . tails are important. 2. That there is a reason for things in this world, that. things don't happen except in an orderly fashion and to look for the causes and relationships. 3. A first hand knowledge into some of the mysteries of life. (1) Most enjoyable was the observation of the hatching and growth of young birds. (2) An inkling of the mystery of the bottom of the sea. (3) An exceedingly rare opportunity to see and study sea birds. (4) An • unexpected insight into the abundance of life in fresh water. (5) More than a mere acquaintance with the animals of the seashore and their interrelations. (6) A fascinating knowledge of insect life. 4. A realization of the importance of a knowledge of fundamental biological principles to a balanced outlook on life. 5. An opportunity to visit many interesting spots some distance from the Station, A greater love of the "open". 6. A small knowledge and a tremendous desire to know more about geology, algae, plant life, astronomy, and the other sciences. 7. Higher ideals which always comes from a closer association with the beauties of nature. 8. A vast fund of material that I can use in my teaching and an inspiration to be a better teacher. 9. A firm determination to return to the Station for more work. —Anne Nelson. — o— FISHER MAKES VISIT (Continued from Page One) beyond the experimental stage and has become well established. The students who take the courses advertise the courses to other students and in this way an enrollment is guaranteed from year to year. There has been a total enrollment of about one hundred fifty students at the Station with a group of about two hundred people who make up the community at the Station. On Tuesday - evening Dr. C. J. Chamberlain, Professor of Botany, at Chicago University, • showed a number of slides that illustrated the life and work at the station. The slides were made by students who had enrolled in a class in photography which was conducted by Dr. Chamberlain. President Fisher considered himself fortunate to be at the; Station when these slides were shown^ because ithey gave one a fine ..impression of the wonderful spirit that prevails among the students "and. instructors.: ;-• -•••.'. '•'. k:i '?••'••'• ''i-kX' For those' who are interested in suggestions for Art or those who enjoy merely viewing such work, the Art 3ep4rtmerit is displaying the finished products of several courses. Varices types of work may be found. One, class made an interesting study of boats. The posters worked in pastel and tempera ar6 particularly interesting in a seafaring locality. By Tuesday, most of the exhibit will be removed, so it would be well to take advantage of this opportunity early. - PEPPY SOCIAL LIFE OFFERED AT HARBOR While Fundamentally a Biological Station It Has Served Well As a Matrimonial Bureau for Several. An old proverb has said, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," so students at Friday Harbor Biological station take many precautions to avert the calamity of dullness. During the day, clad iri bathing suits, they busily and happily study sea life, but immediately following classes a flotilla of boats "weigh anchor" for a trip to the confectionary shop in Friday Harbor. Aside from coca cola and pop corn, the town offers a movie once a week which brings the "colony" to civilization. Evening Enjoyable Evenings at the station offer more entertainment than any "mere movie". What a transformation takes place! " Bonfires blaze up oh the beach. Salmon and clams are baked in sea weed in the manner that the Indians prepare them. Those with a flair for novelty or a jaded appetite are tempted with scalloped devil fish. One stunt night, all latent musical and dramatic talent is revived. Skits, which have the advantage of a beautiful natural setting, are developed by classes competing for prizes. Staid scientists, with bathing suits decked in sea weed, lose some of their dignity in the presentation of a Soutli..Sea Island dance. Other Attractions. For those with an athletic tendency, baseball and horseshoe tournaments are held. Classes and group individuals develop keen rivalry in the sports. Each Friday the dredge is loaded with bedding and food for a week-end trip to the islands. Primarily this is a pleasure "cruise" but enthusiastic biologists revel in the study of fossils, nests of sea birds, and plant distribution. Sometimes the voyage is a trip to the Straits, where true ocean forms of plant and animal life may be observed. At least once.during the summer an opportunity is given to take a trip to the fish traps to witness the hauling in of the catch. Many who have yearned for a life on the rolling deep, return oyer the swells with an altered viewpoint of its charms. A Matrimonial Agency? While Friday Harbor is fundamentally a biological station it has served well as a matrimonial agency. Moonlight and couples! Not one summer has passed that has not developed a romance. Boats used for business during the day, assume a romantic glamour as they are put into service for a moonlight excursion. To those given to introspection, the station is an ideal location. The isolation from the mainland, the relief from the continuous rush of life, gives an opportunity for philosophizing. In later summer the mists come creeping ghost-like from the ocean, giving an eerie "look to the scene. The hooting of an owl can be heard outside the tent. Truly, life at the Biological Station, far from the maddening crowd, is never dull. . — — o ^— • A miscellaneous shower was given last Monday evening for Miss Mary Ringer of the library staff at the home of Miss Madge McKinnon. The hostesses were Miss Olive Gun-derson, Mrs. May Lovegren and Miss McKinnon. Miss Ringer's engagement was announced last week :to Norman Vane, of Wihslow, a former student here. The wedding will take place some • time during the month of September. They plan "to liveiat Port Madisonv.

Seattle Quartet Is Well Received Here The Plymouth Quartet entertained in assembly Friday, giving a wide variety of numbers arid impressing the audience with their pleasing harmony. The quartet comes from the Plymouth Church of Seattle, and has previously appeared in student assemblies. Miss Ellen Reep, contralto, was formerly a member of the Normal school quartet and she was recognized by many in the audience. Among the numbers which were especially enjoyed were: "The Shed-herdess", "Liebestraum", and "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes". In the last mentioned selection, the quartet demonstrated excellent shading of tone and complete harmony. Rhythmic Pieces Enjoyed "Fiddle De Dee" and "Come to the Fair" were generously applauded and even solemn listeners could not refrain from appreciating the comical "Heigh-O's" and "Fiddle-, de-dees". James Harvey, tenor, succeeded marvelously with "Little Bateese", and responded to applause with "Fireflies" by Gibbs. The quartet sang "Now the Night in Starlit Splendor" as a concluding number. o "R. U. R." MAKES HIT ^ntinued from Page One) serves special mention for his histrionic ability. The audience was thankful for his humor which relieved tense situations. "If a robot smashes his fingers, it is all the same to him." Nana's humor was also welcome as she seemed to be the only sane person in • a sadly dislocated world. Parts Played Well Praise should be given every character: Sulla (Marion Richardson) was a marvel of mechanistic skill and Radius (Ben Hamilton) convinced the audience that he was, indeed, a victim of "robots' cramp". "R. U. R." is, with its super-men and steel girders, a symbol of Progress. It is a warning—the cry of a prophet. Mankind is powerful, but not all-powerful—intelligent, but not omniscient. And so, in a hundred years, shall be look out upon a horizon of skyscrapers—sombre silhouettes against an ever-darkening sky ,or shall we live in a world of God's creation^-a world where it is a "great thing to be a man"? — • 0 : ' And still there's another dean to be heard from.

AND NEXT WEEK ANOTHER DEPARTMENT WILL BE INTERVIEWED . CONCERNING OUTSTANDING WRITINGS. W. S. N. S.- A SUGGESTION Miniature Leagues of Nations have been organized in the student groups interested in international relations all the way from Mount Holyoke Collge in Massachusetts to the University of Hawaii... Working sessions of these model "Leagues" have proved to be a great help to the teaching of international procedure by the results of greater satisfaction on the part of the student when he finds himself in the position of a delegate in a multi-national assembly of lawmakers This should be a stimulus to those interested in this sort of thing in the Normal. We have the students here who are interested; all we need is the spark of organization. W. S. N. S. "The ability to sell oneself social-lly and in business is the one outstanding benfit that a student can derive from participation in extracurricular activities. The necessity to mix well with other students in activities in order to accomplish anything in campus affairs is excellent discipline. If I train myself to be an efficient committeeman in a class or student body committee, I train myself to be efficent in service work when I become a citizen of my city, state and nation." —U. of W. Daily. W. S. N. S. Fish Well Received in Picture-Talk on Jungle Experiences "Experiences Near a Jungle Laboratory" was the topic of the illustrated lecture delivered in assembly Friday, April 12, by Professor Harold D. Fish, of the University of Michigan. The jungle laboratory is located at Kartabo, British Guiana. In giving his audience an idea of the surrounding country Professor Fish mentioned the fact that a completely unexplored region exists approximately 2000 miles from New York City. He also emphasized the fact that the Amazon region was the pioneer country of the future and that our descendants would emigrate to South America as our forefathers emigrated to North America. Humorous Vein A humorous vein followed the serious subject matter of the lecture in which he showed appreciation for student life in his brief narrative of his own college career. The pictures accompanying the lecture were unusually interesting. Some of them were made at great expense, owing to the fact that the development of the color films must be done in water at a temperature below that possible in this tropical climate, and in order to do this ice had to be imported to the laboratory from the coast. o DR.

Wood, superintendent of Music in the schools of Oakland, California. Due to his contract with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, Karl Krueger, director of the Seattle Symphony was unable to assume his duties as conductor of this splendid orchestra, which met for the first time on Tuesday of last week and was presented in concert Thursday, April 11, a t the Armory in Spokane, after three days of practice together. Four students from Bellingham high schools were members of this orchestra They were Alys Braun and Arlene Neher violinists, Geneva Erholm, flutist, and Clinton Cramer trumpeter. o—— Instructors Attend Seattle Convention Dean James Bever, Mr. Arthur Kolstad, and Miss Olive Gunderson left last Tuesday to attend the seventeenth annual session of the American Association of College Registrars held in Seattle. President C. H. Fisher is attending the meetings on Thursday and Friday. These last two days are devoted to the reorganization of the first two years of college work. The speakers include some of the most noted specialists on junior colleges in the United States. The meetings are being held at the Olympic Hotel and the University of Washington. The special sessions include a boat trip on Lake Washington and several luncheons and banquets. The meeting will close today with the election of officers. o—'-—'• Ford Attends Dealers- lt; Meet in San Francisco "The Pacific and World Peace," was the keynote of the address delivered by Dr. Frank Milner, of New Zealand, in a special assembly last Tuesday. Dr Frank Milner took a prominent part in the proceedings of the educational meeting at Vancouver, B. C. Dr. Milner, in opening his address, stated that he brought "a message of fraternal greeting to fellow countries bordering on the Pacific." Dr. Milner was born and educated in New Zealand, one of the five dominions of Great Britain which was acquired by England in 1840, and now has a homogeneous population of English speaking people. Dr. Milner spoke concerning the bugaboo of a war on the Pacific. He stated that the situations of "yellow peril", immigration, population pressure and military preparations for territorial aggrandizement were the results of "journalistic imagination" and were not based on fact. Dr. Milner said that he was greatly inspired by his contacts with Dr. David Starr Jordan, one of the foremost educational workers in this country. Under his inspiration and the ideals advanced while in attendance at a convention at Hawaii he has successfully developed the junior high school system in New Zealand Would Abolish War Dr. Milner spoke on the awful-ness of war, its wanton waste of human life and destruction of property. He stated, "The modern weapons of war are a gross perversion of applied science." The next war is rendered an impossibility by the advance of science. In summing up his address he said that we must direct the education of the youth of today in such a manner that the thought of entering into war will be foreign to their nature. Dr. Milner was greatly applauded by an enthusiastic audience. He had an immense vocabulary at his command which easily displayed his broad knowledge of international affairs. His commanding personality and ready wit immediately won the attention of all. o ALL-GIRLS' DANCE Petitions for the Women's League spring informal were posted on the main bulletin board Wednesday and the first one hundred and ten girls signing will be permitted to attend. The list will be taken down today at four o'clock and all girls planning to go should sign up before that time. Catherine Morse, social chairman of the Women's League, has plans well under way for the "Dance of Dreams' which is the theme of the quarterly informal to be given May 3. "The decorations will be like a beautiful dream, billowy—depictive of growing things," said Miss Morse. Committees Appointed Chairmen of the various committees for the dance are: Katherine Friese, invitations and faculty programs; Katherine Korthauer, refreshments; Ouida Davidson, decorations; Katherine Rood, programs. President and Mrs. C. H. Fisher, Mr. and Mrs. V. H. Hoppe, Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Fowler, Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Ruckmick, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Marquis, Miss Kathleen Skalley, Miss Adele M. Jones, Miss Hilda Ro sene, and Mr. Arthur Kolstad are the patrons and patronesses of the dance. o BAUGHMAN CHANGES PLAN OF PHARMACY E TO BE HELD Two Individuals Will be Picked to Compete in Assembly April 26, with Winners of Former Contests.

And are you just aching to express that opinion? Here is the outlet for your wish of expression. There are items in every quarter when each student meets with topics that cause much comment within a group, and, after a satisfactory discussion, he feels that he has reached a definite and intelligent opinion concerning the subject of the controversy. When these conclusions are reached, you can find an outlet for your beliefs in the Viking. Worth while student opinions are always welcomed as material for publication. As Emerson said, "Speak your latent conviction and it shall be the universal sense." No matter how adversely critical your opinions may be, please remember, your views will be respected but, by all means, show that you have the courage of your convictions by signing your name to all contributions. After this issue anonymous and fictitious initialed communications will have no value and will be simply relegated to the waste basket. T O T H E L I T T L E S Y M P H O NY The Bellingham Little Symphony Orchestra, still less than a year old, but already developing the characteristics of real symphony orchestra, concluded its first orchestral season, last Tuesday. Mr. Harold B. Smith deserves an unlimited amount of praise, as well as those who made up the orchestra. We, of the Bellingham Normal, are especially proud of this organization as it affords a delightful means of displaying the enviable talent of the musicians picked from the student body, as well as that of the young people of the city. The concert which we heard last Tuesday, as well as the former recitals warranted much favorable criticism, and we hope that the Little Symphony will continue, and become a permanent institution of Bellingham. COLLEGE T R A I N I NG In an address to college students, President M. Lyle Spenser of the .University of Washington urged them to "get rid of the inexcusable conceit which characterizes many college students in their relations with those who may not have had those advantages", adding that many of our great men were not college graduates at all. We like' President Spencer's speech. It is so typical of the democratic West, and we believe we can truthfully boast that as we send our own graduates on to instituions of higher learning, there will not be one among them who will be guilty of such petty mannerisms. In spite of the fact that many great men were not college graduates, we intend, nevertheless, to attend school as long as it is possible to do so. We feel the "those great men" would have been great in any circumstances, perhaps if they had had the education they longed for, they would have been, if possible, greater—Who knows? In the current issue of the Sci-. entific Monthly there is an interesting article by Dr. Albert W. Herre, who for several years was professor of biology and hygiene at Bellingham Normal. The Sibutu Islands, the southernmost islands of the Philippine group, are the subject of Dr. Herre's article. He gives a very clear description of the life of the inhabitants, also of the geo-grapic conditions and biological life of the islands. Several good illustrations showing native life and customs give the article a live interest. Professor Herre left Bellingham Normal in 1920 to take a position as director of the department of fisheries of the Philippine Bureau of Science, which position he held until 1928, when he returned to the United States to become curator of the Zoological Museum at Stanford University. He has done a great deal during his stay hi the Philippines to increase the supply of available data on the isolated islands of the Philippine group and the Sulu Sea. The Sibutu Islands, discussed in this article, are a group of small islands whose peoples racially and geographically belong to - Borneo but politically to the Philippines. They are far from the lanes of travel and therefore unique and very interesting. Dr. Herre is now a member of an expedition which will spend two years in the South Seas collecting zoological data and specimens for the museum. At the present time the expedition is at Java. o THE LIBRARY LIGHT wwwwwwwwtnwwrfwwwwwfvwtf^^wflfwwi Student Opinion VMV^AVMF^^^i^^^J^FMVJVAr^MV^^^^JV^^^MV^^^ A M B I T I ON "Hitch your wagon to a star" Oft times we have been told; Even though to us it looks too far, The path might be pure gold. We may not see the journey's end-1— Mishaps will come to each, But just the job of hitching, friend, Is bound to make you reach! N A T I O N A L H U M A N E W E EK We are nearing the end of "Humane Week"—While most of us are naturally kind to unfortunates, whether human or animal, it is a good thing for everyone to be jogged up a bit now and then, and that is what this week, with its humane posters its humorous or pathetic antedotes and publicity, does for us. There is something unspeakably fine in the child or man who pauses in his hurry to comfort some helpless creature. The world still remembers the policeman who held up traffic while a mother cat moved her kittens across the street. And while this man or any of us would not do a deed just for the reward of having the world's approbation, nevertheless there is no doubt that, even as we do an act of mercy our own lives are gladdened accordingly. Sitting at night In the library room— Pondering over A book of gloom— / Wonder about The library light— How is it that ICs so darn bright! I envy it! I do not know:— And this is why I wonder so,— How is it that It is so bright— When it goes out On every night! J O H N FINNEGAN o Dorothy Sollie, president of the W. A. A., Mary Beth Parkhurst, and Miss Helen Dozier represented the Bellingham Normal last Thursday and Friday at the Western Sectional Conference of the Athletic Conference of American College Women, held in Seattle. Nearly sixty official delegates from thirty-two colleges met to discuss problems of interest in women's athletics. Thursday night the delegates were entertained at dinner at the Via Fontana dining room at the Wilsonian. The musical program was given by the University girls. Later in the evening the orchestra, dancing group presented a recital at a reception in the dance studio of the gym. Perfect Hostesses The U. of W. girls were perfect hostesses to all, meeting the delegates at the train and entertaining in every way possible. A luncheon on the Campfire Ship and a two hour motor rtip were given by the Women's "W" club They enjoyed a luncheon at the Inglewood Country club. Alpha Chi Omega housed the delegates serving them breakfast and luncheon. o - EL NIDO i Viola Scovel and Anne Kaller-son spent the week-end at their homes in Arlington and Lake Stevens. Esther Dow visited in Ferndale Sunday. Irene Sargent visited over the week-end with friends in Bellingham. Nanda Brooks and Mary Miller were guests of Erma Burgen and Florence Elliott at a bridge luncheon Sunday evening. Theoretically, we Americans are a hurry-scurry' lot—never have leisure and utilize every moment for productive work I wonder sometimes, as I sit in the library during a study period and note the time which students allot themselves for the journey from the library to the classroom. Promptly at 18 minutes to the hour the exodus begins. At 16 and 17 minutes to, the traffic is at its height and then dwindles. Only a few daring souls remain in the library till ten minutes of the hour (the time at which classes are dismissed). Now, three minutes will take a person from the library to the Art Department, and less time is required for most 'trips from library to class. Allowing three minutes as average time, and assuming the student leaves the library at 18 minutes to the hour, fifteen minutes have been wasted. Fifteen minutes will give a student time to study five pages, to read 10 pages, or to skim from 20 to 50 pages, depending upon the intensity of work required. But, however much time it takes a person to read 10 pages, fifteen minutes is a quarter of an hour, and the student who leaves the library at 18 minutes to the hour loses one-fourth of his study period. Strange to say, the same student that leaves the library at 18 minutes before class, rarely arrives in the classroom till he has spent the last possible moment in the main halls. It is a safe assumption that if we were allowed only three or five minutes between classes there ---------- Northwest Viking - 1929 April 19 - Page 3 ---------- ^§'91 ^!%S;; ^iv^ '.'•;^.!'^;V!j:5.'^!it VtkiJa:^W#0t':Kag:e TENNIS TOURNAMENT MATCHES ARE BEGUN Adverse .Weather Conditions Have Hindered Players but Games So Far Show Promise of Real Speed. With adverse weather conditions holding "reign", snow, ice, wind, or what have you, the tennis wielders have been!having the time of their lives trying to get into condition. • Few matches have been played, but decided changes have taken place in the ladder tournament. Art Cram, by .defeating Glen Fairbanks, went into the third position. The scores for the match were 3-6, 6-3, 6-1. Cram, after losing the first' set settled down and finally won the following sets to take the match. Prendergast' defeated Spring-steel in straight sets, 6-0, 6-1, and this wiri moved him into second place. "Jimmy" had little trouble and showed a good brand of tennis. Sid Thai moved up into fifth place by a decisive win over Glen Fairbanks; the scores were 6-0, 6-2. Both Thai and Fairbanks were "off color," missing many volleys and "kills" at the net. Sid has been slow in getting into form and his play although ragged is improving. A few days of concentrated playing and more sunshine is what the boys need very badly. Ladder for Week In the other match played this week, Church defeated Parker 6-2, 6-2, in a rather spirited contest. The ladder for this week is as follows: Ludwig, Prendergast, Cram, Springsteel, Thai, Command, Fairbanks, Leen, Cox, Keplinger, Legoe, Church, Parker, Hermsen, and Er-ickson. Challenges for this week will be played off as sdon as the weather permits. Parker has challenged Legoe Church vs. Keplinger, Cram vs. Ludwig, Erickson vs. the loser of the Parker-Legoe match, and Thai vs. loser of Cram-Ludwig match. W HAMS HACKS and HEEZES by CHARLIE HORSE S€N SAYS CARVE Coach in a Pessimistic Mood on Eve of Inter-Class Meet; Frosh Are Given Edge Over Veterans. Despite the enthusiasm track candidates showed in response to the announcement of the inter-class meet to be held Thursday and Friday of this week, Coach Carver was very pessimistic concerning the season's prospects. "Tell the Dear Public that I am ashamed to enter this year's team in their scheduled meets. They will be totally out of the running against such teams as the U. of W. Frosh." Mr. Carver went on further to say that no new material showed signs of developing and that this year's team would probably be made up of last year's veterans with very few additions from the new men on the squad. The coach's dark predictions were not held by the class captain, Howell, for the sophomore and Brink-man for the Frosh, as they have at least two candidates for each event on their respective teams. Captain Howell was especially optimistic when he learned that Axelson, member of last year's relay team, had run the veteran Hemmi a dead • heat in the hundred yard dash during a recent practice. The time given, ten and two-fifths seconds, is fairly fast. Frosh Slated to Win The- Freshmen depend upon winning in the longer runs and rolling up enough points in the field events to bring them out ahead. Brinkman is a fair bet in the two mile and will probably put up a good race in the half. Other candidates that may show up in scoring for the Frosh are Egan and Cole in the runs, and Gaither, Bay and Grave-rock in the field events. Besides the '"Iron Man" Axel-son, who is entered in six of the events, the Sophomores have Ham-ilotri and Howell in the sprints and runs, while Jewell, Johnston and Wanamaker are enterd in the weights; Clark, Oberlatz, and Chichester are others entered that may spring surprises. The events open Thursday at 4 p. m. The meet is extended over the two days in order that each man may compete in four instead of the usual two events. March weather still persisted at the opening of this Week. x One author has written "If Winter Comes.".. It is our opinion that this author never lived in Belling-ham, where the favorite expression is, "If Summer Comes". Normal Vikings thought that the winter was here to stay, and that we would never have a summer, when the game last Saturday had to be postponed on account of the wet grounds and the rain that deluged the field. Thus did Jupe Pluuius halt the first game of the Viking ball season. "Keep your eye on the ball", is a favorite saying of baseball men, but we challenge anyone to follow the flight of the old apple after Johnny Dixon smacks it on the kisser. The Vikings are going to make it hot for anyone opposing them on the mound, for there are plenty of them who can lay the willow to the horsehide in real Babe Ruth fashion Dixon, Clarke, Odell, Bailey, Thorsen, and others, make the ball fairly sizzle. It is going to he hard on the U. of W. chuckers when the Norsemen face them tomorrow in Seattle. Our sympathy is all for the poor fellow who has the nerve to face the Viking battering rams... They will need it. Varsity track candidates are working hard to get in shape for the first meet. Also others are doing their best to make a showing in the interclass meet that is being held this week. Spring tennis tournament is Well under Way. Several of last year's men are listed and are furnishing plenty of Work for the others that are new in school. A real battle looms as the rac-queteers loosen up their arms and swing into competition for varsity team positions. BIOGRAPHY Another of the Blue W winners is Johnny Dixon, who won his sweater in the winter quarter just passed. Johnny played center on the Viking basketball team, and made some stiff competition for the • opposing centers He is best known to his friends and team mates as "Flash". Though sometimes he is known as the "Killer", so called because of his way with the feminine group of the institution. Johnny is also thought of as about the best dancer in the "W" club. And that is a real recommendation. "Flash" proved his dancing ability to the club the evening when he was initiated into the organization of the Blue W. wearers. Receiving his early athletic training in Everett high school, "Flash" came to Normal last fall. He did not participate in football but conserved his energy for the hoop season. And now that the basket season is finished, John is out on the diamond making it warm for the contenders for the fielding positions on the Viking ball club. And, to judge from the way he is pounding the ball around the lot, he is in a good way to make a berth as a regular. FRESHMEN NINE WILL MEET VIKINGS FRIDAY Norsemen Will Try to Repeat the Record Established During Last Year by Wins over U. W. Frosh Enoch Bagshaw announced through his attorney, Ward Klumn, Tuesday that he would accept the offer made by the Students' Association on condition that he be allowed' to stay one more year and then resign or that all three of the sub-coaches under him also send their resignations and make a clean sweep of it, The Board rejected the first proposal and are considering the second but it is' distasteful to them in that it involves men that are in no way implicated In the quarrel and are satisfactorily serving the University. Next Saturday, April 27, the Normal Vikings will meet the University of Washington Freshmen on Waldo Field, in the first game that the Norsemen will play at home this season. Last year, it will be remembered that the Frosh were not up to the class of the Vikings and dropped two games to the Normalites. The first one, Eddie Wingard chucked the Bellingham team to a close victory. Then in the last contest of the season the Frosh dropped the other one to Granny Thorlakson in a hard and bitterly contested game. Out for Revenge Due to the double defeat at the hands of the Norsemen last season, the Husky Babes will be out to down the locals if it is at all possible. One may expect to see a good game whenever the Frosh present themselves, for t.heir coaches have plenty of material from which to select a team, and they can be counted on to put out a fast diamond aggregation. The Vikings will be in better shape for the game than they have been in the past couple of weeks, since they will be fresh from their tussle with the Washington varsity, and consequently better organized and more experienced. The fans are promised a rare treat in the form of a baseball game for next Saturday. The Vikings with eight experienced men on the squad are going to make Viking baseball history this season. Watch them go. Some ---------- Northwest Viking - 1929 April 19 - Page 4 ---------- ISc^Wl^MJ^r. WASHINGTON ftORMAL HP(fe^ \ anizations House Notes 10CAL MUSIC CLUB PRESENTS PROGRAM Bellingham Women's Music Club Chorus Give Annual Concert in Tuesday Morning's Assembly. SOPRANO IS SOLOIST Under the direction of Harrison Raymond, the Bellingham Women's Music Club Chorus presented its annual concert in the Normal School auditorium, April 16. They were assisted by Veona Socolofsky, dramatic soprano, Winifred Arthur Ells, violinist and Paul Lustermann, cellist. The program was begun by the singing of three lovely selections by the chorus, among which 'The Lonely Pine' by Hachmaninoff was per-ticularily well rendered. The others were "The Sweet O' the Year" by Salter and "Babylon" by Clokey. "Ocean, Du Ungehemer," "Shepherd, Thy Demeanor Vary," "Were You There?" and "May Magic" were the selections rendered pleasingly by Veona Soeolfsky, Miss Socolfsky has a rich voice and sings with fluency. The popular aria, "Ocean Du Ungeheuer" and the negro spiritual "Were You There?" received an ovation from the audience that showed their keen appreciation of music well renderd. The second part of the concert consisted of the singing of the "Slumber Songs" from the Madonna Cantata by May A. Strong, with words by Alfred Noyes. In these beautiful lullabies, the chorus displayed the results of the careful training of their director and the individual skill of each of the participants. The addition of the violin and cello helped to make this performance one of the outstanding features of the school year. GRANDISTMIE New Grand Theater Remodeled, Redecorated, and Re-opened with Remarkable Reproducing Device. Vancouver Educational Meeting Has Many Interesting Highlights The National Council of Education which met at Vancouver, B. C, last week was attended by eighteen members of the Normal faculty, although none were able to be present for the entire session. President C. H. Fisher was present at the meetings on the first-day but was unable to attend more because of the conflict with Inland Empire Education Association which met in Spokane last week. The Misses Mary E. Rich, Hilda Rosene, Leona Sundquist, Nora B. Cummins, Bertha Crawford, and Mr. Herbert C. Ruckmick attended over half of the meetings while several others attended one or more of the sessions. Besides representatives from all parts of Canada, England and the British dominions, Japan, France, Italy, Germany, and Czecho-Slo-vakia sent delegates to this fourth great Triennial Conference. The Science of Leisure The challenge to the conference was "the-Science of Leisure", and discussion centered upon the topic, "How shall we make use of our leisure time?" From this angle literature, art, music, play, health, movies and radio was ^discussed. The lecturers believed that the citizens should assume responsibility for the educational forces being exerted by these outside factors. Dr. Frank Milner said in the course of his lecture of his address on "Ideal Citizenship" that "the people of the United States had lost part of their heritage in that they had not kept court procedure free from political influence." Tagore, the Philosopher But perhaps the highlight of the whole council was in the address given Saturday evening by Dr. Ra-bindra Nath Tagore, Hindu poet and philosopher. In -his subject, "The Teaching of Religion", Tagore expressed hope for the reconciliation of science and religion. He is described as a wonderful speaker with a wonderful philosophy; a genial and kindly snowy-haired gentleman; and as expressed by one who heard him, his lecture was a benediction to the whole meeting. He is the author of numerous poems and essays and winner of the Nobel Prize of 1913. Former Instructor Visits Friends in City The new Grand Theater reopened Wednesday, after being entirely remodeled and redecorated where necessary. The biggest feliture of the Grand is the installation of the Radio Cor-portation of America, "Photophone The Photophone is a similar device to the Movietone and Vitaphone equipment, but differs markedly in the system of amplification. Six Dynamic Speakers The Photophone uses six dynamic reproducing loud speakers instead of two or three horn type amplifying loud speakers. The "Photophone" may be considerd the highest type of life-like "Talkie" yet available to the public. The effect is similar to that of perfect radio reception; a slight, almost imperceptible hiss is audible but without any cracking or static. The reproduction by means of the "Photophone" abolishes all traces of a mechanical effect which is noticeable in some loud speakers. It is as life-like, as vitalistic a reproduction as has been perfected. Preview Test As an illustration of this fact a test film was shown at a preview last Tuesday. Frequencies of one hundred cycles were reproduced faithfully, then frequencies of two hundred cycles .and so on until the limit of human audibility was reached. Another improvement is noticed in the lighting effect. It is possible to give over a dozen color effects to the stage setting and arch by means of a newly completed lighting circuit. New seats complete the theater's attractiveness. Mr. Horace Rahskopf, a member of the Speech department here for a number of years and also a former debate coach, recently married Miss Frances Jordan a graduate of this school in the class of 1922. Mr. and Mrs Rahskopf visited friends in Bellingham last week-end Mr. Rahskopf was a professor at Willamette University after leaving here and at the present time is a member of the public speaking department and debate coach at the University of Washington. o BIELBY MANOR A pot-luck dinner was held last Thursday evening. Those attending were: Mrs. Bielby, Mrs. Lahy, Eva Jordan, Ethel Adams, Lucile Lara-way, Margaret Torpey, Thelma Harris and Erma Thayer. Ethel "Adams, Eva Jordan, Margaret Torpey, and Lucile Laraway were guests at the Laraway and Torpey homes near Anacortes on Sunday afternoon. Erma Thayer spent the week-end with Mrs. Helen Morford at Cedar-crest. Theater Comments by Bob "Mollie and Me", the gala opening production now being shown at the new Grand Theater starring Belle Bennett and Joe E. Brown is a show a bit different from the usual. - Instead of following the usual line of stories which are somewhat untrue to life, "Molly and Me" follows a'theme that might easily be found in any theatrical production city. Stage Troupers "Molly", Belle Bennett, and "Joe Wilson", Joe Brown, are stage troupers trying to get ahead—to Broadway, the goal of stage troupes. Finally after years of effort Joe gets a chance on Broad way, but Molly is not given the opportunity. Like many an unselfish girl, Molly gives up the troupers to go to the big city with Joe. Joe is given another partner and finally Molly in desperation goes back to her troupers and Joe, not realizing her sacrifices, carries on with his new partner and even fancies. However, before this goes too far she becomes engaged and the climax comes when Joe suddenly appears in the old act of the troupers with' Molly and Molly again sacrifices pride for —Love. Bennett Favorite Belle Bennett is an old favorite of the stage and has usually taken "Mother" parts in the movies; however, with the advent of the "talkie" she now comes into her own, especially in "Molly and Me". The theme song is "The Land of the Make Believe" and is well carried out instrumentally and vocally. Next week we hope to give you a complete theatrical review. THOMAS MANOR Initiation ceremonies came as a complete surprise to the. new .girls at Thomas Manor, last Friday night. Those initiated were Bertha Brajar, Margaret Perry, Lilly Lead and Evelyn Kelly. A baseball team is being organized in order that Thomas Manor may enter the intramural games held between the various houses. o ENGER HALL The following girls spent the week-end at their homes, Mildred Peterson and PPPPP

XX BELLTNGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 1921 NO. 15 GIRLS' CLUB ENTERTAINS ASSEMBLY WITH INDIAN F A N T A SY Indians Are Up-to-Date Last Friday's assembly furnished a very enjoyable surprise for the students, in the idea of an Indian pow wow. The stage was transformed into a realistic looking forest in which the strangely dressed Indian figures glided about. The older Indians were joined by their children, who had returned from a white man's school, which we later recognized as the Bellingham Normal. They told of all the strange new things that they had learned. These educated children then gave a sample of a white man's program, by giving piano and vocal solos, followed by a history of the Club of Ohiyesa. As a closing to this clever program, all of the Indians gave a dance, accompanied by their club song. B.S. N.S. ART EXHIBIT AT OF INTERESTING DISPLAY OF PICTURES ARRANGED FOR BY COMMUNITY SERVICE An art exhibit that no Normal student can afford to miss is being held in the Chamber of Commerce rooms on Dock Street. An opportunity is given to see the famous Curtis collection of Indian pictures, that interested President Roosevelt so greatly, and that have long been a source of pride for the entire Northwest; also a. collection of the paintings of Paul Gustin, the well known artist who has done such beautiful western landscapes. Mr. Pratt, of Whidby Island, has lent his collection of Gustin pictures and Mr. Gustin himself has also agreed to send such pictures as are now in his studio in Seattle. Miss Druse, of our school, will show a collection of basketry and weaving and will have some looms. The Bellingham Women's Music Club will take charge of the musical programs for the afternoon and evenings of the exhibit, with the idea of representing the musical art (Continued on page 2.)

INGE CRACK WHATCOM QUINTET SUCCUMBS TO ONSLAUGHT OF " SAM " CARVER'S FAST MACHINE REPRESENTING BELLINGHAM STATE NORMAL SCHOOL Extra Period Is Required to Settle the Contest It was a real basketball game that was witnessed by about one thousand enthusiastic rooters last Friday evening, in the Whatcom High School gymnasium, when the Blue and White team from the Normal upset the Crimson ' dope pot" and ran up a score of 25 to 23. Much credit is due to the Whatcom team, which, though defeated, played a brilliant game and gave their superiors from the Normal a hard tussle for the coveted honors. NoRaiAr. FORGES AHEAD In the opening period Normal had everything her own way. Whatcom did not get started properly, and before the period ended, Normal was leading by a score of 12 to 4. Vanderford, Whatcom forward, was removed from the game after two minutes of play, due to an illness he developed a few minutes before the game started. CRIMSON STAGES RAIXY By the opening of the second period Vanderford's illness had so far abated that lie was able to re-enter the contest, replacing Gwynn, who had substituted for him during the first half. With his assistance Whatcom now played a first class game. First they tied the score, and not being satisfied with this, forged ahead by one field goal. With one minute left to play, Whatcom was leading by two points, when Herbert Yorkston, Normal forward, made a difficult shot, leaving the score at the end of the regular playing time a tie, 21 to 21. In the final five-minute period everything was going a!! top speed. Not only were the teams upon the floor doing their utmost, but five hundred Whatcom rooters were vainly straining their lungs in a final effort to drown out the opposing five hundred Normalites. In the midst of all the din Normal annexed four points to Whatcom's two, giving the game to the Blue and White by a score of 25-23. (Continued on page 2.) THE LITTLE IS PLAY THESPIAN DRAMATIC CLUB RENDERS ITS ANNUAL PRODUCTION Proceeds Help Klipsun One of the most entertaining events of the school year was the three-act play, " The Little Princess," presented by the Thespian Dramatic Club last Saturday night in the Normal School auditorium. All forgot that they were no longer children, for they were carried back to childhood in the clever dramatization of this play. They lived through the trials and joys of the little girl who was unloved and lonely, and rejoiced with her when her friends and happiness were assured. The honors of the evening went to Miss Bernadine Arant, who caught the spirit and charm of the part of the thoughtful and naive little heroine, and portrayed that character with credit, from her appearance as a real princess in act I up to the ragged urchin at the close. Especially realistic was her acting in the garret scene, when she gave (Continued on page 2.) • I [ MISS MORSE TO BE HEAD OF TRAINING SCHOOL DURING HER ABSENCE Miss Gertrude Earhart leaves for advanced work at Columbia University at the close of this week. Miss Morse will act as head of the training school in Miss Earhart's absence. On Wednesday night the supervisors working" under Miss Earhart gave a farewell dinner, in her honor at the Pheasant Tea Rooms. Not only did the good wishes of the entire corps of supervisors go with Miss Earhart for a happy and successful semester's work at Columbia, but she was also presented with a fountain pen by her assistants. The Messenger speaks for the student body when it wishes Miss Earhart all success in her work, but a speedy return to the Normal. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1921 January 28 - Page 2 ---------- 2 THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 1921 NORMAL MOPS FLOOR . WITH CRIMSON GORE (Continued from page 1.) NORMAL STUDENTS PARADE Before the game the Normal rooters marched, five hundred strong, from the heights of Sehome Hill, through town to the Whatcom gymnasium. . After the game they marched back home, ridding their. systems of all noise so that they might enjoy a pleasant night's slumber. The summary follows: Normal Jenkins... Yorkston Crum Inge (25) Whatcom (23) f Thomas f Vanderford c ..Taylor g Dawson Burpee g Holt Substitutions: B. Burpee for Holt; Gywnn for Vanderford; Vanderford for Gwynn second half, and Holt replaced Burpee; Inge banished on personal fouls second half, Antone Frank replacing him; Wright for Crum. Officials: McBeath, referee; Carver and Stewart, scorekeepers; Dwight Cone and Bus Frank, timekeepers. " KNIGHTS OF THE HENCOOP " WIN In a rather unusual preliminary contest the Normal's " Knights of the Hencoop " defeated the far-famed Whatcom " Knights of the Fork." Officials of the game are still disputing over the final score, but " F a t " Campbell claims a victory for the Normal " Knights " by a score of 173 to 4. On the other hand, Ole Triggvi of the Whatcom " Knights" claims a victory for his team by a like score. The Messenger does not wish to enter into disputes of this nature and leaves it for every, individual to decide for himself. The Normal " Knights " repudiate the name of " Curb Mudlarks " bestowed up- • on them by the genial sports writer for the Bellingham Herald and henceforth will be known as the " Knights of the Hencoop." This title is considered far more appropriate for men students at a normal school. CHENEY HERE THIS EVENING The Cheney State Normal basketball team will play us this evening in the Fairhaven Gymnasium. This game is one of the important ones of the year, for Cheney, being one of our sister Normal schools, is a natural rival. Cheney has a strong team, and if the picture which they have sent in advance tells a true story, they certainly are a husky set of players. The game will be played in the Fairhaven gymnasium as our own is too limited in seating capacity to accommodate the crowd that will be on hand to see the contest. The game will be called at 7:30. B.S. N.S. ART EXHIBIT AT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ROOMS (Continued from page 1.) of the community, with Mrs. L. E. Miller acting as chairman. Mr. Weir, of the extension department of the Normal School, is in charge of this with many assistants. It is seldom such a collection has visited Bellingham, and Normal students who have not already seen it, should do so while they have the remarkable opportunity. The exhibit closes Saturday night, but is open every afternoon until then. B.S. N.S.-^— WRITE A STORY — WIN A PRIZE " THE LITTLE PRINCESS " IS CHARMING PLAY (Continued from page 1.) full play to imagination and fancy. Her part called for talent and careful preparation, and Miss Arant acquitted herself so well it is hoped she will again appear in Normal productions. Frances Durham as Becky, the scullery maid, interpreted a trying role with originality and humor. Mildred Maule as Emengard was a typical clumsy little girl who disliked books. Edna An-stett, Pauline Noll, Mary Collins, Mary Marie Dewey, Esther Cook and Pauline Bornstein gave a very pretty dance. Archie Erickson as Mr. Carmichael showed strong character work and a stage presence that was admirable. Charles Powell as Mr. Crawford was a Capital sick gentleman who later proved a real friend to the princess. Sydney Smith as Lottie gave an inimitable rendering of the part. Indeed, all parts were taken fittingly and reflected great credit upon the Thespians. Great credit was due Mrs. Smith who directed and presented the play, assisted by Miss Pauline Bornstein, instructor of the dance. Music for the evening was furnished by Miss Sara Schuman, accompanist Miss Ruby Altose, Miss Gladys Weir and the Presbyterian Church orchestra. B.S. N.S. THE KI.IPSUN WANTS A COVER DESIGN B.S. N.S. A Hiking Club to be Organized Now that spring is approaching, murmurs of a Hiking Club are in the air. So many worth while and beautiful hikes may be taken about Bellingham, all students who love the out-of-doors should fall in line and follow leader. Last Saturday morning a number of Normalites took Sunset Trail to the South Side, crossed Happy Valley to the Interurban track, followed it to High Bridge, thence down Chuckanut Creek to the bay. An inviting cove at Chuckanut Point served admirably for setting of a breakfast of bacon, eggs and coffee. The view was wonderful. The " dorm" was reached on the return, in time for dinner. B. S. N. S. LITERARY PROGRAM AT SEDRO-WOOLLEY The Normal is furnishing an interesting program for the. literary department of the Women's Clubs of Sedro- Woolley. The meetings will be held the .second and fourth Wednesdays of February and March. On February 9, Miss Baker will speak on "A Campaign of Seventy-five Years"; on February 23, Miss Edens talks on " Modern Poetry "; on March 9, Miss Cummins will speak on " Social Unrest," and " Modern Literature " will be Miss Woodard's subject on March 23.

A certain student who entered school at the beginning of the present quarter was unused to the ways of a big school and the crowded halls, having come from one of your small sagebrush villages. Stranded on the second floor of the main building, she did not know how she got there nor how she was to get out. But up stepped a kind Senior, saying, "What's the trouble?" Soon he had her safely started on the right stairs which led to the main exit. Tales could be told at random of the good deeds of the older students in directing the green ones to the Co-Op., to the dean's office or Miss Mead's room; or of the passing of such remarks that the Messenger box was not a mail box, and that rubbers left in the hall were apt to be missing.

These pictures are very interesting and of great educational value to both students and teachers. It is desired that we have a full house next Friday as the proceeds will go to the Klipsun fund. General admission will be 15 cents and training school pupils 5 cents. PRIZE IS OffERED FOR E CASH PRIZE OF $2.50 WILL BE GIVEN FOR THE BEST DESIGN Are you artistically inclined? If so, this is your golden opportunity to inscribe your name in the hall of fame. The Klipsun wants a cover design, a real cover design, that will carry with it the meaning of the word Klipsun. What does Klipsun mean, you ask? It is an Indian word, signifying "the setting sun." In order to' enlist the interest of all students who. have any ability in this line, an incentive has been offered in the form of a $2.50 cash prize, but of far more value than this is the honor that comes to a student in having his or her work selected as among the best in the school. The faculty members of the art department and the art editor of the Klipsun wil lact as judges. The Klipsun board has set a time limit of three weeks to this contest as it is their hope to have most of their engraving work completed before the engraving plant is flooded with the work of innumerable high schools.

" School district boards never can be as efficient as would be county boards of education functioning as the Seattle school boards does for this municipality. " What would this city think of a system under which its territory was divided up into wards, each ward hanlding its own school affairs, financing its own school construction, hiring its own teachers and purchasing its own supplies? "Foolish and impractical? Undoubtedly — yet, not more so than the present system, under which school district boards function for small districts just as ward boards would function in Seattle under the scheme outlined above. The biggest need of rural education in this state is centralization of control in county boards that will give to pupils, some, at least, of the educational advantages city pupils derive from urban school boards. " Thus only can the standards of the teaching corps be raised, economy be practiced in the purchase of supplies, the right kind of school buildings be provided and the character of the instruction be maintained at a high level. " The county unit plan is practical and desirable. If the State Legislature were to do no more than this for education in this state — and the Times is confident it will do much more — it would have advanced this worthy cause immeasurably by instituting such a system." WHERE IS OUR NEW GYM? "Chew 'em up, Eat 'em up, Clean 'em up fair; Whatcom, Whatcom, Up in the air." This may have been what we yelled en route to Whatcom Friday evening, but we must admit we were surprised. Certainly Coach Leonard Anstett deserves great credit for the wonderful, square game which his team played. The boys showed that they had been very well trained and we congratulated them upon their splendid work. Our own coach, Mr. Carver, deserves just as much praise for the work of our own quintet. How many times have we come to a basketball*game and gone away saying, " I didn't get a chance to see it all; someone stood in my way and stepped all over me? " I am sure many of iis have said this at some time during our stay here at the Normal. No, it was not the fault of the other person who had come to see the game, for he, too, no doubt, had trouble in getting a view. It was the fault of the gym. It is too small! Too small for the school and too small for the City of Bellingham. It is with regret that we have to listen to people talk about our little " band box on the hill," as most of the Bellingham sportsmen call it. Other schools send teams here to play and in many cases these teams carry bad impressions away because of our two-by-four gym. One member of a team which recently visited the school said that we had a million dollar school with a five-cent gymnasium. The Bellingham Normal is a state institution supported by the State of Washington and yet it is hard for us to get a gym which will in any way compare with some of the little school gymnasiums out in the counties. It is about time that some step should be taken to procure a sum of money from the egislature to erect a building that will compare with most gymnasiums of the first class schools of the state. Owing to the fact that the members of the first semester classes of the local high schools have just received their diplomas, a number of the students of these classes have started to the Normal. Thus the enrollment of our school has been increased. We are very glad to have these people in our student body and extend a hearty welcome to them. The following editorial published recently in the Seattle Times is very much to the point. It gives a very reasonable viewpoint of the proposed legislation regarding the county unit: " The County Unit Plan, contemplated by the state educational code, is a long step in the direction of a very necessary reform. " It centralizes authority in rural educational affairs and assures a more efficient and a more economical administration of rural schools. Something more than an interesting and wortli while lecture event with Miss Baker's appearance on the platform, when she spoke on the seventy-five years' fight for suffrage. Perhaps all in the school don't know it, but Miss Baker herself was no. small influence in swinging Washington as one of the first suffrage states. Her liberal point of view, her graciousness and her logic won adherents to the cause wherever she spoke, in the days when to be a " suffragette" was a term of reproach. She now sees visions of greater service for women with the vote. Her steadfast courage in this cause is an inspiration to all girls. STUDIO ART CLUB The Studio Art Club held its regular meeting Thursday, January 20. The girls are doing handwork in textiles, consisting of bags, bureau scarfs, pillows and dress accessories, such as collar and cuff sets, girdles, etc. Each member brought her work, and the time was enjoyably spent working and chatting. Delightful and unexpected refreshments consisting of big red Delicious apples, were served by Miss Druse. B.S..N. S. THE KLIPSTTN WANTS .

Just as the game between the boys' teams was very close last week, it is expected that this game will probably be the most exciting of the season for the girls. They need the support of the entire student body and it is hoped that the Whatcom gym will be as well filled tomorrow as it was last week. These girls are playing for the Normal are: E. Cain, N. Jeffcott, I. Phillips, S. Minnick, E. Smith, P. Born-stein, G. Tyler, E. Minor, A. Dibble and P. Whitmore. The game is called for 8:15 and the general admission is 25 cents. B.S.N.S.

They are to play here tonight and have been playing various teams around here. They played their first game last night against the Lynden Athletic Club, but the score has not reached us yet. The Journal informs us that Cheney has won three out of five games played and these were against hard teams. They report that they have arrangements partially completed, with the U. of W. for a game. * # * Write a Story for the Klipsun. * * * The following account appears in the Journal and it mystifies (?) us somewhat: "The Victrola was started and the rugs rolled back."

If you have been following the nonsensical things that have been said in this column you ought to know by this time where the different papers are printed and by what school. This will relieve ye editor of a lot of .work on the typewriter (it tires his delicate hands so!) and will give us more space in which to say things, both good and bad, about our exchanges. They probably will be mostly good from now on, as we will feel in in a better mood if we have less work to do. The idea is not our own — we borrowed it from Mr. Kolstad. Not long ago Miss Wilson put some interesting questions to her library instruction class, and received amazingly different answers. We quote a few of the questions and answers: Question — "What is your most important idea acquired since entering Normal? " The following six answers are taken from the long list: 1. "There is no place like home." 2. "Shift for yourself." 3. " Be cheerful." 4. " Fair play." 5. "Friendship is what is most worth while." 6. "No normal school can manufacture teachers." Second question —" In what present day problem are you interested? " 1. "Y. W. C. A." 2. " Farmer-Labor movement." 3. " Oriental alien question." 4. " Importance of school play." 5. " Reconstruction in Europe." 6. " ' Back to farm' movement." Third question — " In what work save teaching are you vitally interested ? " 1. " Home making." 2. "Telegraphy." "Library work." " Dramatics." " Music." " Informant in a depot." Fourth question — "Who is your favorite humorist? " 1. "O'Henry." 2. "Holmes." 3. " Mark Twain." 4. "Walt Mason." 5. "Dickens." 6. "Riley."

Wei can perform an act of real mercy, if we buy a roll of films, insert it into our camera and proceed! The method of procedure is as follows: Pose your favorite roommate, your favorite view or stage an original stunt; step forward a few feet, turn your back impolitely to the sun, and " shoot! " Turn the printed result over to the Klipsun staff, and earn their eternal gratitude. Smiling has very nearly been taken up as a profession in this vicinity. The cause for this alarming fact is — pictures again! Everywhere we have turned these last few weeks we have seen groups of smil-ers at their best. Later on, every page we turn will be a series of smiles. Before long will come the graduation of March Seniors. After we relieve ourselves of the responsibility of guiding them over the rocks of commencement, and bid them an affectionate adieu, we may turn our thoughts summerward. A message from the blue, blew down with rumors that maybe some day in the future it wouldn't rain. If this be true our tennis courts will eventually emerge as dry land again. In that case work will commence for the preparation of tournament tennis stars. We shall now consider the subject of study. Very soon class rooms and libraries will have wide open windows through which gentle breezes will enter, play about and try to entice us out of doors; but we all know, " Duty before pleasure," and so remain until our work is finished. Groups of energetic students will be seen on porches after dinner, all made comfortable in rocking chairs, well supplied with pillows, sociologies, psychologies and al Ithe other ology books. Now the question is, why are? all those people assembling on the campus? It isn't an everyday event. It happens annually for our May fete. We see lines of black clad figures going through the intricate movements of drills, marches and folk dances. The stately May pole and its charming weavers and last, the fairy robed figures in the fantastical motions of a fancy dance, present a spectacle the like of which has not been seen since psychologies and all the other ology Other things in view are the Senior and Junior plays. The inter-Normal debates, wherein Bellingham, wins the Allison cup. Following this the May Seniors have the arduous task of guiding themselves, for they are alone now remember, over the shoals of valedictory speeches, class wills and class prophecies. Thus completes our resume of the last two quarters of the school year, and we beg permission to bring to a finish this calendar. We wonder who will refuse us that request? B.S.N.S.

THE KLIPSUN WANTS A COVER DESIGN SCHOOLMASTERS OF NORTHWEST MEET FACULTY MEMBERS ATTEND A MEETING HELD AT SEDRO-WOOLLEY Among the members of the Normal who were present at the meeting of the Northwestern Schoolmsaters' Association held recently at Sedro-Woolley were Mr. Bever, Mr. Kolstad, Mr. Rice, Mr. Kibbe and Dr. Miller. Among other important matters considered at this meeting was the new Senate Bill No. 10. The Senate Bill No. 10 is the new educational code which was recently drawn up by a committee appointed by Governor Hart. Among those present who spoke on the code was Mr. Weidman, superintendent of the Bellingham schools; Mr. Nealy, assistant superintendent of the state; Mr. Burrows, superintendent of the King County schools, and other well known educators of the Northwest. Mr. Weidman in his address gave a complete analysis of the code. Mr. Nealy also analyzed the code, arguing against it, while Mr. Burrows, a member of the code commission, argued very strong for it. Others present also expressed their views on the new proposed bill. The body as a whole endorsed the following three points. First, that the superintendent of the state should be appointed by a committee of seven members; second, that a county unit should be established, and third, that the 30- 10-15 provision should be adopted. The 30-10-15 provision has to do with the taxation question. The bill as a whole was not accepted by the association, but it is expected that a few changes will be made in the bill before it becomes a law. The teachers of the Normal at their meeting Tuesday, endorsed the bill. B. S. N. S.

At their regular assembly on Wednesday morning, about twenty-five students of the grammar grades gave one-minute talks on the subjects which they enjoyed most during the past semester. Nearly every department of the school was represented. The supervisors of the training school were very busy last week making out reports and report cards for promotion day which occurred on Friday. Many smiling faces were seen among the students as' they were promoted to the next high grade.

XX BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MAY 6, 1921 NO. 2$ INTERESTING NEWS OF MISS E IS TRAINING SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT IS ON LEAVE TO UNIVERSITY Miss Knapstein is in receipt of a rnost interesting letter from Miss Earhart who left our school at the close of the second quarter to complete the work for her master's degree at Columbia LTniversity. Miss Earhart tells of the survey Teachers' College folk have made of the Baltimore schools, and the part she has had in completing the statistics, under the direction of Dr. Bagley. In concluding the letter Miss Earhart gives a glimpse of the interests of New Yqrk she is enjoying, outside her work. "Einstein lectured on his relativity theqry (in German) and Harding is to be here tomorrow to unveil a statue of Boliyar. I have been recently to hear Dr. Qrenfell, John Spargo, Jane Addams and Ratcliff of the Manchester guardian. Also I have seen Mary Stuart by Drink-x water, Ihigema of Aulis "with Margaret Anglin as Clytemnestra, arid Mrs. Fiske in 'Wake up, Jonothan!' Next Sunday we are to hear Tetrazinni. So you- see it is not quite all psychology and statistics even though, I can now figure Iq's, Aq's and several variations thereof." '% B.S.N.S:-^ TEACH NEXT YEAR ^ h e Messenger is happy to report from time to time the iist'of students who have definitely signed up for schools next year. Of course at present most students are writing applications, but many have the worry of " where shall I be next year? " off their minds. ' Following is,an incomplete list of: students who have accepted teaching positions and where they will teach: Eva Bond and Margaret Zurbrick, Blaine; Charles Powell, Hump tulips; Myrtle Briiei Florence; Berriice Bfoadbent, Walville; Mary Mjddlekauff, Douglas, Alaska; Valentine Ayers, Withrow; Helen Whitenach, Mayfield; Ethel Sutherland and .Dora Agee, Lynden; •JThelma Court, La Conner; Marion Chisholm, Buckley; Rosella Olson and Edith Prevedell, Skagit County. SOUL OF TULIP IS The proud, beautiful, aspiring, cooperating soul of Bellingham flashed bare in the annual Tulip Festival. The first big event was the coronation of the queen at the armory Monday evening. JMr. Coughlin, representing the powers of Winter, was.driven out of Tulip Land by Don Gray as Father Time. Then Father Time crowned Miss Alice Hughie as Queen of Tulip Town and Tulip Land. Following her coronation the loyal subjects of Queen - Alice entertained her majesty with prettily costumed dances. The "Dance of the Hours" was by Normal girls, the "Dance of the Sun Maidens" was very beautiful, but perhaps the prettiest and most graceful dances were those given by little girls (Continued on page f.) C» • A t Friday's assembly the Thespians gave a splendid program of musical and dialect numbers. Swedish, negro, Western, Norwegian and child dialect readings were well given. The costuming was very good and the program was complete to the last detail. It may be said that this entertainment was even worthy to be called a Thespian production. Those who took part in the program were Betty Graves, Harriet Rit-tenberg, Einar Christensen, Elsie Minor, Gladys West and Frances Durham. B.S.N.S. KLIPSUN GOES TO PRESS All contests have closed for the Klip-sun annual and those on the staff are very busy. attending to the last details of the preparation of the material for the press. • Part of the annual is printed and the remainder is in the hands of the printer. The annuals will be out on or before May 20. This is the earliest in history that the Klipsun has appeared. The staff is composed of. a body of able and enthusiastic workers who are putting forth their best efforts to make this annual the best of all. Be sure to get. one. It will be a pleasant reminder of old Normal days, friends and classmates. ^ -—- B. S. N. S. — Word has been received of the marriage of Hazel Smart, a former student, who was teaching at Silvaria. ' ' _ -• NORMAL WINS GAME Thursday of last week the Normal nine defeated the Harmony nine in a game played at Elks park by the close score of 8 to 7. Five innings was all that was played on account of the grounds not having a roof over them. The Ferndale game was played last Saturday and resulted in a score of 11 to 4 in favor of Ferndale. At the close of the sixth inning the score stood 4 to 5 in Ferndale's favor but in the seventh Ferndale brought in five more runs and another run in the eighth, making the score 11 to 4. Stevenson pitched the first two innings for Normal and Prevost pitched the remainder of the game. The game was umpired by Dr. Hood. B.S.N.S. E PLAN EXCURSION All students, present and past, of the science classes are now signing up for the big excursion to Susia Island. This trip, headed by Mr. Coughlin, is dated for the 23rd of May. One week is given for the science classes to sign and at the end of that time the other students may sign up to the capacity of the boat. Rates are one dollar, if one hundred students go, and seventy-five cents,,for one hundred and thirty-five. As Mr. Coughlin says: " We all want to go for seventy-five cents, so please sign up." The Sucias are the most. interesting islands geologically of the San Juan group and such an opportunity for visiting them is indeed rare. From there a magnificent view of surrounding islands may be enjoyed. Such a trip ought to prove especially attractive to students from Eastern Washington. B.S.N.S. CO-ORDDINATION BETWEEN SCIENCE CLASSES AND TRAINING SCHOOL ; The co-ordination between the nature and science# departments with the student teachers ,m the Training School deserves a hearty commendation. One instance is worthy of special notice. Last week the nature students-gave a demonstration of the construction' of an acquarium.' This demonstration was so vividly presented that the Training School.pupils were able to construct an acquarium'without further assistance. THIS YEAR NEW DORMITORY IS TO BE MODERN AND BEAUTIFUL — FINISHED THIS YEAR Many extensive improvements are planned for our school. Of course the biggest and best is already started r-r the girls' dormitory. The contract, has been let for $140,637, and already the excavating and leveling of the grounds have passed more than the first stages. It is hoped that the new building, with "its accommodations for 125 girls, will be ready by next September; but if not, Christmas ought surely find the girls who are left at horiie making merry in this new building. Words from Ella Higginson's charming poem, written especially for our school, "The Normal by the Sea," have been selected by authorities. as the inscription to be imbedded in a terracotta tablet which will adorn the entrance to this beautiful building. To quote from a local paper: "The poet's sentiment was selected after a long search through ancient and modern literature, and- that • the choice was a very appropriate one anybody who reads may see. The selection is the sixth line of the second stanza, which written in the sonnet form runs as follows: (Continued on page £.) Co PLANS FOR SUMMER Those planning to attend the coming summer session of the Normal School are looking eagerly forward to the interesting work and opportunities before them." Besides the present faculty there are to be the following nine additional members: Dr. J. B. Sears of the College of Education, University of Minnesota, department of education; Dr. S. C. Kohs, Court of Domestic Relations, Portland, Oregon, department of educa-^ tion; Mr. D. E.

TRAINING SCHOOL - With the intention of keeping the -Training School up to date in every respect, the Normal School will this summer go extensively into the project method in the training department. This is regarded by school authorities as modern and progressive action and locally it is another step toward popularizing -elementary school endeavors in this community. . . The following schedule of projects and problems correlating various subjects to be .worked out in the training school classes affords an idea of the scope of the new undertaking: ; Grade 1 — " Our Farm"; language, reading, spelling, numbers. Grade 2 — "Our Town"; language, reading, spelling, numbers. Grade 3 — To make and equip an general store; arithmetic, language, read-i nS- ? Grade 4— Making a magazine; language, reading, nature study, geography. Grade 5 — "Why and How We Celebrate the Fourth of July"; language, reading, spelling, history. , Grade 6 — "If you were to take a farm in South America, what country would you choose? " Geography, reading, composition. : Grade 7 — History pageant; history, English. ' Grade 8 — " Is it worth while to buy a lot and build a home?" Arithmetic, reading, composition, civics. All students are welcome to visit these classes. Under the direction of Miss Genie Watrous the Normal School, will conduct special classes during, the summer term for a period of six weeks, beginning June 13, for children between the ages of eight and fourteen years. The purpose of the classes is; to help children v lt;iiiuiiiiiiiniiiiitiii^iituiunititiniititiniitiirn«iiitnitiiiitiittitiiiiiiliiniiiiiiiiiiiilliiiiiiiiiiiiiiirtiiiiiii^ = .•iiiiiiiiiiiitiiiittitii]i»iijiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimi«iiiiiiMiiiiiliti!tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii[ii[itii[iiiittii = Stamte (Btm fl MONDAY, MAY 9 — §1 II Dr. Sara E.

No credit or grades will be granted.for the work. The season will be from 9 to .12 each school day. Trips will be made to various points of interest, woods, beaches, parks and industrial plants, in and around Bellingham. Trees, flowers, sea life, birds, scouting, safety first and traffic laws, industries and other problems of interest will be subjects for investigation. The library will be used for securing supplementary material. Story telling, games and programs will have their place. An effort will be made to have as much of the time spent out of doors as 'possible. After fifty children have been enrolled a waiting list will be kept for filling vacancies. Parents may secure membership for their children by applying by letter or telephone to Miss Florence Morse at the Normal School. B.S. N.S. Dr. Miller has compiled the following list of books in our libary, dealing with education. It has occurred to the Messenger that students might be grateful for the list of books, together with brief criticism of the contents. Next week the Messenger will print the conclusion, of the list. • •" - Will you help us keep them busy? In the past year or two an unusually large number of high class books in the field of education and psychology have been put into the library. Many of these books are of as much interest to other members of the faculty as to those who are teaching in the department of education. I am taking-the liberty of calling attention to some of these books, particularly those which have been added jfc'o the library most recently. • Some of these books are on the reserve shelf, others on the open shelves! If any of us in the department of education have any of these books out which you would like to see, do not fail to check up on us, if we hold them too long. I suppose new books, except those which are highly technical, ought not to be kept out of the library more than a week vat a time. • Is there something here which you, or your students, can use? .

Again the ham. bone soup lured me but I turned away and beheld a shelf of quiet aprons that would soon bustle around when the merry noon hour came.

Our need of willing workers; strong, true leaders and wise guiding minds was clearly brought out at last Monday's assembly. Sometimes efficient co-operation is remarkable for its success and then again cogs may slip, the machinery halts, our resources are limited, time is short and the product which was to have upheld the high standards of our school comes out of the process a distasteful and ugly thing. Such was the experience of our Men's Association last Friday in putting on their vaudeville. We had the strong, true leaders; the wise guiding minds and a few willing workers — but where was the efficient co-operation? This is a question the student body of our Normal School must answer individually before they entirely condemn. We are indeed glad of the stand taken by the boys responsible for the show, responsible only in that they were the starters of the machinery, but as explained by them, not responsible for the distasteful and ugly product produced at the vaudeville. Let us all gladly and eagerly support these commendable young men and our Normal School Faculty in the stand which they took for higher standards ;of entertainment so that by our influence and future guidance we may throw an obliterating shadow over such regrettable occurrences. How many of us know and appreciate the work the Training pupils are doing on the Junior Messenger? They have an interesting little paper, full of news and school spirit. It is a fine thing for these young people to manage and edit a paper of their own. It teaches them first of all observation and stimulates an interest ih: their school work. The boys and girls learn to write and they enjoy preparing their material. Those who notice flutters of excitement prevailing among the junior members of the Training School, attribute it to their interest and enthusiasm, as they hunt up hews —here, there and everywhere,-like all true reporters. ;. Read theirs paper. Tell them that you like it. They will appreciate it. .F:^ lt; Marius Hansome, a prominent alunir nus of Normal, has recently returned to Seattle, after touring Europe and spending considerable time in New York City. "The following1 interview, published in a Seattle paper, may interest his friends among the faculty and students of this school: Shower baths — snow white bed sheets — waiters serving chow to able seamen. Not such a hard life for a sailor aboard Uncle Sam's merchant fleet, in the opinion of Marius Hansome^ former teacher for the Alaska bureau of education, who returned yesterday after a sea trip to his home in Denmark. Hansome came to Puget Sound nearly twenty years ago, an illiterate Danish boy, sailing before the mast on a windjammer. Last September, deciding to pay a visit to his Danish home, Hansome signed on the Shipping Board freighter Apus as an able seaman in order to observe the contrast of a sailor's life from the windjammer days to the present time. Not like the old days when I came around the Horn on the Danish windjammer Antigona," reported Hansome on his arrival here yesterday. " In those days we packed all our belongings, including a mattress, aboard ship in a bag. But on the Apus the boys now sleep in white sheets — even the beds are made up by the mess boy. And clean towels — shower baths — waiters giving regular hotel service — pretty soft for the modern seaman." When Hansome landed on Puget Sound, knowing nothing of the English language, he deserted the ship and began doing odd jobs around the state, all the time studying hard. In this way he went through the University of Washington and later went to Alaska for the Bureau of Education. While in Denmark he made an inspection tour of Danish high schools and lectured in many of the prominent high and agricultural schools in that country. He is now conducting an independent research on educational subjects at the University of Washington and later plans to lecture before Scandinavian audiences in this section. " In Denmark the people find themselves with too many automobiles and other luxuries on hand," reported Hansome. "During the war the Danes bought heavily of American luxuries, believing that prosperity would continue indefinitely. In Copenhagen boxes containing American goods are lying unopened in warehouses and in the stores of large cities one may view the same American garments are are displayed on Second Avenue. But these goods have no demand — the people are overloaded with autos and owing to high prices and the scarcity of oil find it difficult to operate motor cars." : B.S.N.S. ter Tulip Festival Day judgment? -Ideal school conditions may have been in season, but from the sleepy, nodding heads scattered through the. audience those rows of inviting white cots should have been stricken from the film. Let's appoint a committee to interview Mr. Philippi on the appropriateness of films to the * existing conditions of the day and age in which they are shown. — B.S.N.S. ADVICE TO STUDENTS WISHING TEACHING JOBS Tuesday morning at 8 o'clock Miss Morse, supervisor of the Training School, called a special meeting in the auditorium for all the students who wish teaching positions for the' coming year. Mr. Kibbe, the first speaker, gave the students some valuable information. He named the things that made up a good letter of application. Having been a county superintendent at one time Mr. Kibbe knows what a superintendent expects to find in a letter of application. Mr. Caskey of the business department read and discussed several forms of letters used both in applying for positions and in determining where the vacancies exist. Miss. Knapstein, head of the appointment committee, spoke of the necessity of giving initials, names and addresses of all references so that the officials in charge of the schools where a student applies may write to the people named as references. Mr. Kibbe, Mr. Caskey and Miss Knapstein said that no one should apply for too many positions, at once, nor should one take a lower salary than some one else, just to secure the position, as a lowering of teachers' salaries would result. Mr. Kibbe said care must be taken in signing contracts as the penalty for breaking a contract is revocation of certificate. The speakers said they were ready to aid any student in any way at any time. B.S.N.S. RESTLESSNESS JUDGMENT?

WHY AMERICANS TALK Kindness is almost universal in America ; in my first three months I collected only three deliberate rudenesses, though doubtless I deserved many more. I have found everywhere assistance and, what the stranger needs so much, information. Sometimes I have found a little too much, for the American does not always realize how lost is the stranger in this immense, complicated system, and so burdens him with detail. The American is often quiet, but he never refuses conversation, and on the whole, it is better that people should talk too much than too little; this contributes to general sociabiliy and ease of intercourse. Also, conversation helps a man to exhibit himself. Very few of us ever attempt to discover what the other man thinks; we talk so as to assert to him what we think; this helps us to discover what we really think. I suspect that the American, more than any other kind of man, his mind being filled with a vast number of physical impressions, needs conversation to sort out these impressions. Burdened by certain forms of national pride, local pride, and personal pride, by old puritanic views and new efficiency views, by sentiment and by ruthlessness, he needs conversation as a sort of clearing house. He had to formulate. —r W. L. GEORGE in Harped? Magazine. ' * .-—B.S.N.S.—— ; Joy and laughter make the world go round —but llove makes it go round and round and'round!

After these dances the grand coronation ball was held. - ;Gn Tuesday afternoon the beautiful Tulip parade passed along streets packed by thousands of eager spectators. The royal float on which rode Queen Alice and the maids of her court was guarded by an escort of sailors from the three destroyers at anchor in the harbor. Every school and organization in the city had a beautifully decorated float; and many decorated private cars; and marchers were in the long parade. The float taking first prize was that of the Larrabee School which represented the quaint Dutch story of " Winkyn, Blinkyn and Nod." In the Normal float rode Dwight Cone as Uncle Sam and Catherine Shepherd as fair Columbia, while several of the Normal boys in soldier or sailor uniforms formed the escort. Behind the float marched the loyal Normal girls wearing white middy suits and blue and white Dutch caps. Ahead of these students marched the Normal Training School escorting their pretty little queen. , . .; After the parade hundreds of people spent a happy hour or more visiting the destroyers, and the festival closed with street merrymaking in the evening. . Bellingham's Tulip Festival was a success. And under the reign of Queen Alice joy, prosperity and sunshine have come to Tulip Land. Of course the Normal is justly proud that its president, Dr. Nash, and Mr. .Weir, of the Extension Department have been tireless in their work for the success of Tulip Day. . Both are to be complimented. B.S.N.S. IMPROVED AND STILL IMPROVING — THAT'S NORMAL the spring.' A pump for fire protection is also being considered.

The education department especially is planning on a successful term. In addition to the required courses, it will offer as, electives advanced educational psychology of common branches (devoted mainly to improved reading), history of American education, educational hygiene, school administration- and school surveys. Emphasis will ibe placed upon vocational guidance which will consist of a great deal of work for rural teachers. It will make a study of rural school problems, management, • lessons learned from use of standardized tests, administration of rural schools, and the improvement ;of reading and spelling. The Rural Life Club will serve as a center for acquaintance of rural teachers and for solving problems interesting to them. In addition to the new teachers already mentioned to be connected with this department Miss Keeler of the extension department is to be with the education department this summer.. And Miss Montgomery of the Training School will give special work in primary methods. There will be regular conference hours which meetings anyone interested in primary work may attend. Throughout all the work of the department special emphasis will be put upon the project method. With the new teachers and enlarged curriculum the education department hopes to and certainly will accomplish much the coming quarter.
