Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School VOL. XVIII. BELLINGHAM, WASH., SATURDAY, OCT. 6, 1917 NO. 2 FACULTY AND STUDENTS VISIT THE LYNDEN FAIR We are sure that Miss Ormsby, Miss Keeler, Dr. Herre, Mr. Coughlin, Mr. Chute, and students of the agriculture and boys' and girls' clubs classes enjoyed their trip to the Lynden fair last week. Miss Ormsby and Mr. Chute spent a couple of days out there, Miss Ormsby acting as judge of the canned goods and all things pertaining to cooking, •while Mr. Chute was judge for. the department of manual training. The following is an account of . the trip written by Miss Clara Locke: The Lynden. Fair. On Friday, September 28th, our agriculture, class attended the Lynden fair. About thirty - students, Mr. Coughlin and Miss Keeler, left Eden's hall at 9:40 a. m. in auto busses. The day was pleasant and the highway fine. Each farm passed had a good-looking garden and occasionally a small field of corn. Only one large field was passed, which was of oats. The oats were being baled and stacked right in the field. A great drove of cattle were browsing on the stubble. Mr. Heed's poultry farm, which is one of the most scientific and up-to-date farms in the Northwest, was passed. .The exhibits at the fair were very good but there was much room for improvement in the arrangement of specimens. There were three buildings of grade exhibits. Nearly every department of school work was represented, but particularly art, sewing, cooking, manual training and agriculture. The latter was of course the most interesting to us. Mr. Coughlin gave us interesting talks on the different vegetables as we went along. The peanut plant, with its clover-like leaf and the black Italian potato, were very interesting. A potato judging contest for grade and high school boys was held just before noon. Two boys from one school constituted a team. Mr. Carroll, the county agriculturist, gave a talk on judging potatoes just before the contest. He explained how the characteristics of the variety of potato must be taken into account in judging. For example, the rough skin of the russet potato would not count off as it is a characteristic of that variety, etc. The points on which an exhibit is judged are the uniformity of specimens, the smoothness of skin, texture of flesh, depth of eyes, freedom from blemishes, and color. In the adult exhibit building was nearly every variety of vegetable. There was the usual array of cornstalks from ten to sixteen feet high, and startlingly enormous squashes, pumpkins, mangle beets, also the white sugar beet and a new variety of cucumber, dark green in color, small in diameter and about two feet long. The fruit .exhibit was fine. Among the dried fruits were blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, currants, cherries, apples, peaches, prunes, apricots, and (Continued on Page Eight) Professor Miller Publishes Splendid New Text Book DR. ERVTNG E. MILLER Professor Miller, author of "The Psychology of Thinking," which was published in 1909, is now putting out his second book, "Education for the Needs of Life." It is one of the "Home and School Series" of the MacMillan Publishing Company and is edited by Professor Paul Monroe at Teachers' College, Columbia University. The book is beautifully gotten up, being printed in large type on a relatively small page with most attractive print. There are six chapters as follows:' 1. The Biological Point of View in Education. 2. The Meaning and Aim of Education. 3. The Child. 4. The Curriculum. 5. The Principles of Method. 6. The Teacher. In the discussion of these topics the question is raised as to what are the needs of life in the development of growing children and how these needs are to be met. Miss Morse will use this book in education, six classes. The sociological principles of education will then be an active course. Are You Doing Your Bit? NEW DIRECTORY COMING. The Student Directory, containing the names, phone numbers, local and home addresses of teachers and pupils, is being compiled and will probably be out before November 1st. Get your correct address in now for this is the only directory gotten out during the year. IMPROVEMENTS IN THE We are all anxious for improvements in our school. A great change has recently taken place in the Department of Chemistry, which greatly interests students of. that branch of work. The old sinks, which formerly occupied the space at the sides of the room and the old tables have been replaced by modern tables. Instead of having to leave their work to empty water, etc., into the sinks, now students have the convenience of emptying it into the water troughs set into the back of the tables, from whence the water flows through pipes inside of the tables and is drained away through the sewer. In the back (Continued on Page Eight) IMPORTANT. Office hours school nurse— 9:30 to 12 A. M. 3:00 to 5:00 P. M. All illness excuses are signed during these hours.

Dr. Nash told the students in- the assembly Tuesday morning of his trip on Monday to Olympia, where he attended the first meeting of. the "Board of Higher Curricula." This board has been established this year by our state legislature in order that representatives from our higher institutions may organize to make their work more efficient. The board consists of nine members— Dr. Henry Suzzalo, president of the State University and two regents from that school, Dr. Holland, president of the State College and two Pullman regents and the president of one of the three normal schools and a trustee from each of the two normal schools not represented. Mr. Showal-ter, of Cheney, was elected by the presidents of the other two normal schools, as the normal president of this board, while Mr. Lucas represented El-lcnsburg and Mr. Thomas Smith, Bell-ingham. Mr. Black, president of the Ellensburg normal and Dr. Nash were invited to attend and were made virtual members of the board. The meeting was held Monday morning in the governor's office and the organization of the board was completed. Mr. Showalter, of Cheney, was elected president and Mr. Thomas Smith, one of the trustees of this institution, secretary. Plans were suggested for a more uniform method of counting and registering students and system for checking on the same basis was discussed. It is hoped that this board will be the means of promoting a better spirit between the schools, and of establishing a more perfect harmony, so that all may work together to conserve strength and to minister more efficiently to the needs of the state.
