A booklet containing data concern­ing
school life, organizations, ex­penses,
living accommodations and
house rules, is being prepared by the
Standards Committee of the Wom­en's
League, and will be issued to all
girls applying for admission to the
Normal this Fall.
This new,service of the Women?s
League has arisen in answer to a
much felt need, and will eliminate
the hundreds of letters received by
MJSS Jones, Dean of Women, asking
details of school life. Miss Velma
LeMaster, chairman of the Stand­ards
Committee, is doing' commend­able
worj^ in connection with the
publication of this book.
Detailed Contents of the Book.
Included in the contents^ of the
book will be greetings to incoming
Freshmen from the Dean, a welcome
to.the Frosb by Dorothy Deighton,
acting president of the - Women's
League, and Dorothy Irwin, presi­dent
of the League for 1926-1927.
There will also be a poem, "An If
for Girls," a calendar of the school
year according to quarters, the pur­pose
of the League, and advantages
gained from membership in it. Space
will be devoted to a description of
the Dormitory, a list of the organ­ized
houses, and a minimum expense
total.
Suggestions on the Wardrobe.
The booklet will also contain sug­gestions
on dress and a minimum
wardrobe for one year. Social ac­tivities
will be outlined in an at­tractive
manner and the final page
will include general house rules.
The information which will be in­cluded
in the Women's League
pamphlet will be constantly needed
by the Normal girl, and it is predictr
ed that this book will become as
necessary an institution as the Blue
Book.
President Fisher will serve oh a
commission appointed by the State
Board of 'Education of Montana, to
select a location for a normal school
n the eastern part of that state. The
commission will meet July 25, in
Glendive, Montana, where the work
will be carried on for two weeks.
The new school was authorized by
the last session of the legislature.
The law specifies that the school be
located east of the hundred and
tenth meridan.
This will be a new method of se­lecting
a location for a normal
school or an other state institution.
Heretofore such a choice has gener­ally
been determined by political in­fluence
in the legislature.
The scientific method used by the
commission in choosing the location
of the school presents a very inter­esting
problem.
Other members of the commission
are: President George H. Black, of
Ellensburg, and President Frank E.
Baker, of Mlwaukee, Wisconsin.
The towns requesting considera­tion
by the commission as a suitable
location for the school are Billings,
Miles City, Forsyth, Glendive,
Roundup, Lewistown and Glasgow.

The Friday 'Harbor Biological Sta­tion
on San Juan Island was visited
last Saturday by President Fisher
and several faculty members includ­ing
Professor Hartline, who helped
to start the Normal work at the
station two years ago.
'• The laboratories were inspected
and the work of the students ob­served.
La commenting on the sta­tion
President Fisher said, "We met
a, happy, enthusiastic, and satisfied
group, including both students and
instructors. The students are espec­ially
enthusiastic because of the
kind of work they are doing. They
are dealing with real situations. I
am satisfied with what I saw and
am certain that the work they are
doing is one of the best things being
done in this institution."
Speaking of the equipment, the
President said that there was a need
for better laboratory facilities and
expressed the hope that money
would be available for improvement
for next year.
The Normal School conducts two
courses at the station, one in Animal
Biology under Professor P. H. Wol-cott,
teacher of Zoology at the Uni­versity
of Nebraska, and the other
in Plant Biology, conducted by Miss
Leona Sundquist of the''Sqience De­partment
of this school. Professor
Wolcott is ssisted by Miss Ruth Gel-lerman,
and Miss Sundquist by Miss
Ruth Piatt. Both assistants are
graduate students of the University
of Washington.
The day at the Station is fully oc­cupied
and the minimum amount of
study time required is two hours.
Besides study, the recreation life is
one of the features of the school.
"Friday Harbor offers a wonderful
opportunity for combining study and
recreation," was President Fisher's
comment." .
There are 25 enrolled in the two
Normal classes. Most of these are
former Normal school students.
Plans are being made to offer both
six and nine weeks courses next year
due to the demand from teachers in
service for a six weeks course.
Remarkable Opportunity
Given Students to See
Colonial Aft Display
The Colonial Art Display given in
the main hall and faculty room this
"week was a remarkable ^opportunity
for the students to "see some of the
finest examples of art that the
world's great artists have ever pro­duced.
This exhibit was of modern
painters and old masters along with
a most unusual, exhibit of wood cuts
and was free to summer school stu­dents
and the public.
Thes. display included fac similes
from masterpieces by Rembrandt,
Turner, Millet, Raphael, Reynolds,
Murillo and Valesquez. Prints from
Maxfield Parish, Wendt, Gamble,
Melcher, Weigand, Birge Harrison
and other artists were part of the
exhibit.
Among thw pictures especially
worthy of mention were "Memories
of Japan," a" fascinating, colorful
print by M. Yoshida, a Japanese
urtist. "The Harp of the Winds" by
Homer D. Martin is a picturesque
scene on the Seine river in Norman­dy.
"The Desert Flower" is another
reproduction that is extremely color­ful
and interesting portraying the
brilliant red desert flower and gray
cactus.
The purpose of this exhibit which
is sent out by the Colonial Art Com­pany,
is to develop a love for fine
art through the display of these ex­quisite
paintings. The exhibit is
loaned t6 the schools, women's clubs
and other civic organizations free of
charge. Many schools charge ad­mission
to the exhibit and thus ob­tain
funds with which to purchase
pictures or in other ways to beautify
their school and community.
Mr. Maxwell and Mr. Johnson ac­companied
the exhibit.

Things eventually will out, even a
trip to Austin Pass. We wonder
what merited the marked interest
crowds of people' diplayed at Heath­er
Meadows as the Normal school
group approached. Perhaps it was
Mr. Bond's ghostly appearance, the
dull brownish red which' covered
many glowing countenances, or the
brilliant flesh color which some as­sumed.
At any rate they were taken
for anything from ..Mount Baker
Goats to Movie Actors!
Rumor has it that more than one
person is taking the Movie Dub ser­iously
as they.have always felt that
they had undiscovered ability in that
line. For this time though, they are
handing the laurels, to Mrs. Vaughan
and Jean Wpll, who attempted to
swim up the mountain instead of
climbing." Growing . faint-hearted
when sighting! a huge ,rock: in their
path they, plunged into Bagley Creek
intending to wade. But mountain
streams are treacherous and instead
of wading, Jean fpund.herself clutch­ing

Vaughan's disappeared .from sight
but n the end it would always re­appear
with its owner underneath.
Finally arriving in camp the party
found Miss Rosene tragically peeling
potatoes, a task which she had en­dured
for an hour and a half. Then,
between the mingled choruses of the
mosquitos, the potatoes were rescued
in ,& way to do themselves proudly.
Mr. Hartline, who t spoke at the
evening camp fire, on the subject,
"Thp everyone can't kiss a rattle­snake

PROGRAM OF SONGS

"Noted Canadian Tenor Sings an
Unusual Program of Sketch­es
from Humorous to Opera.
In f the regular assembly today,
Walter Bates, Canadian tenor, re­ceived
an enthusiastic ovation from
his audience in a second appearance
before the student body of the Nor­mal
school.
Mr. Bates made his first appear­ance
here on March 7, 1926. At that
time he amply verified press reports
of his artistic ability which com­bined
with a.splendid voice of rare
vocal quality, marked him as being
a finished artist. Being so well re-c.
eived he was soon booked for a re­appearance
during the summer ses­sion.
Mr. Bates announced the numbers
on his program in an informal man­ner,
intro'ducing each with a bit of
Irish wit and humor much appreciate
ed by his audience. His repertoire
covered a wide range, its scope ex­tending
from light humorous sketch­es
to bits of dramatic opera.
