The Weekly Messenger Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School VOL XVII. BELLINGHAM, WASH., SATURDAY, NOV. 17, 1917 NO. 8 Announcements Girls come to the Y. W. C. A. Wednesday at 4:10 and hear the talk Miss Sperry has for you. Mrs. Frank Whipple will sing. The Sisters' League will hold its next meeting at seven o'clock Friday night in the sewing room. All applications for Edieor-in-chief and Business Manager of the Klipsun must be written and handed to Miss Van Syckle before 4:10 on Tuesday. In order to be sure that all announcements reach this section in safety they should be addressed to Willard Yerkes, announcement editor, and slipped into pigeon hole Y in the registrar's office. All material for the Messenger except the report of Thursday's assembly must be in by Wednesday at 4:10. Mr. S. H. Hamer is to be the speaker at the Y. M. C. A. meeting Wednesday, November 21, at 1:45 in room 203. Mr. Hamer is one of the most influential men iii the government service in the northwest. He has efficiently served his country for several years as immigration inspector with headquarters in Bellingham. It is desired that all who can will find it convenient to be present. MISS BAKER GIVES It was particularly appropriate that Miss Baker, who helped in no small measure to secure equal suffrage in our own state, should discuss the suffrage victory in New York at the regular Thursday assembly of last week. Miss Baker traced the history of the struggle for equal suffrage from its humble beginning seventy years ago to the present day. The only occupations given to women then were housework, sewing, fruit picking, and if married, so feeble were their rights that they could not collect their wages against their husbands' wishes. The father could dispose of children without the consent of the mother. Finally, however, women were granted the equal guardianship law, which granted to women an equal authority over the children. When the Civil War came suffrage agitation was dropped and women devoted their energies to their country. They did great work for the negroes but after the war was over, the negroes secured suffrage, but not the women. The struggle for equal suffrage has been long and hard for the courageous leaders and brave workers. Today in eighteen states women have full presidential suffrage. A wonderful victory has been won in New York, due to its influences, the foreign population, and the terrific opposition there. NEXT LECTURE COURSE Rollo McBride, a unique figure in American life, will appear as a number of this season's lecture course, on the evening of Wednesday, Nov. 21, at 3 o'clock. His subject will be "Making Crooked Men Straight." Himself, a reclaimed product of the underworld, Mr. McBride is at present doing a great work. Almost within the shadow of the western penitentiary of Pennsylvania and the Allegheny county workhouse, he has established an institution where released convicts are given an opportunity to face life again, and where they are treated not with suspicion, but confidence and respect. The record of his results has been amazing. So successful has he been in analyzing the causes of poverty and crime, Mayor Armstrong of Pittsburg appointed him the city's public defender. As counsel for the defense, Mr. McBride appears each morning upon some one of the police court benches, aiding the friendless and poverty-stricken and seeing to it that no one who has undergone arrest shall suffer unjustly because unable to secure able attorneys to undertake a defense. Some of Mr. McBride's quotations, which follow, suggest his policies: "To reform a man you must treat him like a man." "When a man comes from jail he does not want to be preached at and told to be good; what he wants is a place to live and a job." "There is never a day passes in our police courts but that a $10 bill stands between a man being called a criminal or a respectable member of society." No member of the Normal School ca:i afford to miss hearing this man who is doing such a significant work in our world. STATE ADMISSION DAY Admission Day, in honor of the day twenty-eight years ago, that Washington was admitted to statehood, was celebrated in assembly Monday. This very interesting program, under the auspices of Miss Sumner, was given: Song, "Washington, My Washington" By school Remarks on the Meaning of the Day Dr. Nash Song, "Four Leaf Clover"—Higginson . Mrs. Nash Retiring address of our last Territorial Governor—Miles C. Moore, Mr. Booman Reading, "Washington Beloved"— Meany Miss Ober Inaugral address of our first State Governor—Elisha P. Ferry..Mr. Edson Song, "Washington" Junior Double Quartette ILL WITH APPENDICITIS Miss Virginia Mathes, daughter of Dr. E. T. Mathes, former president of the Normal School, is suffering from a very dangerous attack of appendicitis. She is a last year's graduate of this institution and has been teaching at Hamilton, Wash. We consider Miss Mathes as belonging to us, particularly from the fact that she has received her entire education in this school, having entered in the primary department and continued her course here until the time of her graduation. She is an accomplished violinist and is well known both at the Normal and throughout the city of Bellingham. It will be a pleasure and relief to her many friends to know that, according to the latest reports from St. Joseph's Hospital to whose care she is entrusted she is progressing favorably. TO THE BOYS ON IDEALS" After assembly on Thursday, while Miss Woodard addressed the ladies Mr. Bond spoke to the boys on "Ideals." He said, "The age of materialism, the worst the world has ever seen, is passing, and an age in which standards and ideals are required is taking its place. Men are no longer judged by their material possessions or ancestry but by what they stand for, the high ideals they live up to. Have an ideal even if you never attain it. It is of no good to do what you can do, good comes from stretching for that just beyond you. This is an age of preparedness. Do everything you do better than it woixld have been clone if you had not done it. The work you do, the success you are twenty years from now is not determined by what you do then, but by what you do now. Tennyson on his deathbed wrote the greatest short poem in the world. Why ? Because he had a whole life to put into it. Webster was once asked a very difficult question. He was able to answer it offhand. It was no accident. Years before a similar question had arisen and he had solved it. He was prepared. Bryan was once called upon to answer a great speech in a convention. He did it in the greatest speech of his career. He had studied every phase of the question involved, and was prepared. Prepare yourselves now. "The age not only demands preparedness and efficiency but clean living. Guard your afterselves. That will in^ fluence your country, state and pupils, anything that will in any way tend to from anything that will in any way tend to defile them." Mr. Parish has been on the sick list but returned to work Monday morning. CALENDAR Monday— 8:50 Assembly. 9:40 Messenger Staff meets. Business club meetings. 7:30 Chorus practice. Tuesday— 10:30 Assembly. Mrs. Thatcher will provide a musical program. Class meetings following assembly. Wednesday— 12:55 Choral. 4:10 Y. W. C. A. Miss Sperry speaks. Thursday— 7:30 Club meetings. Alethian. Hyades. Alkasiah. Ohyesa. MISS WOODARD TALKS TO THE NORMAL In the assembly Thursday afternoon a film demonstrating the first step in the making of shoes was shown, that is the process by which the raw hide is transformed into a soft, polished leather. The completion of the story of shoes will be the subject of next week's film. The men then went to hear Mr. Bond speak and Miss Woodard addressed the girls in the assembly. She spoke on the importance of our daily life while here at school as a preparation for our increased responsibilities in the years to come. She showed the necessity of heeding those things that are often thought of as merely the mechanics of life, that is, food and sleep, and of taking time fco hear good music and plays. By our personal appearance and conduct we shorld help maintain the dignity of our profession. Miss Woodard showed us that she was not here for the purpose of reprimanding, but rather of helping the girls and wanted to be their friend. MYSTERY IN THREE ACTS-GUESS WHO Episode I. A dark and stormy night. The telephone rings. Episode II. Same night. A bacon bat on Sehome hill. Episode III. Dazzling brilliance!!!! A diamond ring appears on the third finger of the left hand of a popular Normal girl. Congratulations are in order. King Cole to Dr. Herre: "Well, you know, I can't learn a new lesson till I've forgotten the old one."
