THE WEEKLY MESSEN6ER Vol. XVI. Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School BELLINGHAM, WASH., SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 1917 No. 26 <!X5XS)®(SX5X!)®®®<^^ I Assembly j Mr. Scudder Speaks in Assembly "Woman's Place in the Mechanical World." "Future for women along mechanical lines is almost unlimited," said Mr. Scudder in his assembly talk Monday The exact record of the output of a certain young woman at a machine was found to be two and one-hnl= times that of the man who preceeded her. Many other young women working with her had a record nearly similar. Another record showed that while the man had put out six perfect pieces per hour, his successor, a woman, had an output of fifty-one perfect pieces per hour. Women's office wages have been increased very little in the last ten years. Records show increases of thirty-one cents, fifty-eight cents, etc. Therefore, woman has sought and found a place where she can get a reasonable increase. The eyes of the world have been opened to the fact that woman by her "manual dexterity; mental agility, seriousness of purpose, and high quality of work" can surpass man in the mechanical world where strength is not the requisite. A Miss Mead Talks on Red Cross. Miss Mead spoke in assembly ou Wednsday, vMarch 28, on the work of the Red Cross. She spoke of the good work of this society both in peace and war, and described vividly the work that is now being done on the battlefields in Europe. She emphasized the importance of getting more people in-tersted in the Red Cross and to take active part in case of a crisis. Mr. Cornish, cellist, accompanied by Mrs. Cornish, at the piano, delightfully entertained the student body at the Wednesday assembly. The following numbers were given: Bolero De Beriot The Swan Saint Saens Spanish Serenade Friml The Rosary Nevins Scherzo Van Goens Miss Florence Hamilton, of Tacoma; Miss Lyle Ford, high school teacher in Tacoma; Miss Marguerite Munro and Miss Clare Stevenson, of Anacortes, were guests of Miss Druse this week. "How did I become a teacher?" I confess I should like to know myself. Could it have started that very first day of school when I sat on the edge of the seat dizzily counting that endless whirl of little green bracts around the base of a dandelion bloom? Or was it that later day in the country school when I had the honor of taking three classes to the back of the room to hear them read and spell? If it did not sound presumptuous, I should say I was born to it. And the praise given to my mother by men and women who were her pupils in the district school makes me inclined to think there was something in the inheritance. My earliest recollections are of teaching school in play, and my aim in life even before I left the little country school was to be a teacher. So serious and shortsighted was my purpose, that although one school building I attended stood opposite the campus of the University of Michigan, I am sure in those days, I never saw the University in my mind's eye as a possible goal. Like many another I was bent on preparing for my career by the.shortest posible course, eager to take the joy of achievement. With the sixth grade I became a part of a small city system, but there was room for the development of individuality, and time for the teachrs to show personal interest in the pupils. I was most fortunate in my teachers. To the end of high school all of them were live, vigorous specialists and apparently in love with hard work. Only one did not know how to "vitalize the subject"; we all recognized her deficiency. What a splendid game that high school course was! Always a morning's drive or walk from the farm to an eight o'clock recitation, sometimes below zero, and sometimes in fresh, crisp spring or autumn air. Thoroughness and honesty were not engraved upon the cornerstone of the Ann Arbor high school, but I am sure they were upon every teacher's heart, and doubtless they made some dints in my disposition which have not yet been effaced. To the foundations laid then is due any progress I may have made since. Upon graduation from high school I applied for an assistant's place in a smaller high school, but my superintendent, who had been one of my Latin teachers, took me into his own city system, directing my efforts himself. I shall never forget him or cease to be (Continued on Page Eight.) Classes in Red Cross "First Aid" work have been formally organized at the Normal. There are two sections of the class, one taught by Dr. Stimp-son and the other by Dr. Cook. Two classes meet on Tuesday at 4:10. Dr. Stimpson has a Wednesday night class at 7 o'clock, and Dr. Cook a Thursday afternoon class at 4:10. Dr. Kirkpatrick is making every effort to organize another class.
