The Weekly Messenger Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School 1 L BELLINGHAM, WASH., SATURDAY, MARCH 30, 1918 NO. 24 FACULTY MEMBER CHANGESJER NAME To say Mrs. Henry W. Spratley instead of Mrs. Jane Bellis Colby requires a second thought and many of us think only once. As a complete surprise to her many friends at the Normal, and many more in Belling-ham, came the anouncement that Mrs. Colby had yielded to the ravages of the little blind God and was now answering to the name Mrs. Spratley. The wedding, which took place last Saturday in Seattle, was of a simple nature, only a few of the close friends and relatives of the bride and bridegroom being present. Dr. Spratley is a well known dentist of this city and has a small family consisting of one daughter and one son. Mrs. Spratley will be at home to her friends in the Stevens apartments on Indian street on May 1st. She will continue her work at the Normal school until the end of the year. NORMAL TO HELP IN IN WAR GARDEN WORK (From Bellingham Herald) The Bellingham State Normal school is going to do its share toward increasing and conserving the food supply of the nation during the war and in accordance with the request from the commissioner of education, Dr. P. P. Claxbn, it is going to help organize the school boys and girls of Northwestern Washington, enlisting their services as units in the United States school garden army, authorized by the secretary of the interior, and which, it is hoped, will have a membership of 5,000,000 boys and girls and 40,000 school directors. This work is outside the boys' and girls' club activity. Organization of this section will be under the direction of Professor J. V. Coughlin, head of the agricultural department at the Normal. It is estimated that if proposals are carried out fully the result will be food production to the value of $250,000,000 and in addition an aducational value as great. Mr. Coughlin will this week visit some of the school superintendents of adjacent towns and try to learn what they propose to do, for each has had the plan communicaed to him. When he has ascertained what they intend to try to do the Normal will co-operate with them in every way possible. Both faculty members and advanced students will help. The latter are asked to. serve as supervisors and their work will be done in towns and villages of 200 and more population. It is hoped to have one supervisor to every 150 boys and girls. JOHN MASEFIELD TO GIVE LECTURE TONIGHT No Normal student in Bellingham can afford to miss the lecture to be delivered tonight at the Garden Street M. B. church by the distinguished Englishman, John Masefield, poet and soldier. It is an opportunity seldom offered students to see and hear such a renowned figure about whom they have studied and of whom they have read. As an indication of the interest manifested in the lecture, all Masefield books have been out of both Normal and public libraries for the past two weeks and many reservations held for them. GIRL STUDENTS' LOAN FUNO AGAIN BOOSTED Chas. Allen, San Francisco philanthropist, has made another loan of $500 to the girl's student loan fund of the Normal school, a cheek for that amount being received from him this morning. Mr. Allen wrote that he will loan the fund more money if it is needed. Professor J. M. Knapp, honorary member of the Normal faculty, also made a donation this morning to the general students' loan fund. HOW INTELLIGENT ARE YOU? In the Journal of Heredity for Jan-ary appeared an article by Professor Lewis Terman of Stanford University, on tests for intelligence. Of course there can be no single test for intelligence, but there must be a diversity of tests in order to get a sufficient amount of material upon which to base an estimate. But the popular periodicals have seized upon a portion of Prof. Terman's article and have published a list of 100 words which he has used in his tests. Under the caption, "A Test for Your Intelligence," you will find this list in the Literary Digest for February 16th, and in Every Week it was published week before last. Several Normalites have amused themselves by going over the list. One member of the faculty knew all the words but the last, while two others each knew all but five or six. If you know many words in the list it merely shows that you have a large vocabulary, and are probably interested in many diverse lines; this test alone would be more a test of one's versatility than of his intelligence. According to the periodicals, the average adult can define 65 of the hundred words, while if you can de-ine seventy-five you are a superior adult. Are you? STUDENTS URGED TO BUY LIBERTY BONDS Dr. Nash expresses the desire that we come back from vacation prepared to subscribe liberally to the liberty bond drive which is about to take place under the leadership of Mr. Page, chairman of the County Liberty Bond Drive. The Germans have invented a gun that will shoot seventy-six miles. But we have in the Liberty Bond a gun that will shoot three thousand miles and help break the German lines. We must do our very best as teachers and students during the next few months to help the government by saving all the money we can and putting it into these bonds. WAR BULLETINS GIVEN OUT FREEOF CHARGE It is very possible that many of the teachers now in service would like to know definitely the reason why America entered the world war. The reasons are given quite explicitly and in a very readable way in two bulletins published by the committee on Public Information, Washington, D. C. These booklets are as follows: "The War Message and the Facts Behind It" and "How the War Came to America. These booklets may be obtained free of charge by addressing the Rural Department, Normal School, Bellingham, Wash. NORMAL¥KIOTEN FOR THE1TIRE YEAR (From Bellingham Herald) Believing that it is highly desirable that such a course be adopted, since it will afford opportunities for education that do not now exist, with the result that some .persons' education is delayed or abridged, the trustees of the Bellingham State Normal school last night adopted a recommendation of the faculty that the institution be open the year round, making it a forty-eight weeks' school insead of forty-five school weeks as now. The board also decided to increase the Normal's efficiency by reducing the staff where possible without crippling the service and increasing it where needed. It was the consensus of opinion that war conditions make the lengthening of the year and the other (Continued on Page Eight) TUESDAY— 8:50—Assembly. Registration of students entering for last quarter. Joint meeting of trustees of three state normal schools at Cheney will be attended by trustees—President G. W. Nash, Mr. Olson, Mr. Smith and Mr. Barlow. WEDNESDAY— Inland Empire Teachers' Association Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Faculty members in attendance. Dr. Nash, Miss Ormsby, Miss Beardsley, Miss Woodard, Miss Mowbray, Mr. Bond, Mr. Beaver and Mr. Klemme. THURSDAY— 10:30—Assembly. Address by Mr. W. H. Abbott. A FEWlREClNS IN MAKINGAPPLICATION On Tuesday, the 26th of March, in Assembly, Miss Keeler gave the students a few directions in making put their applications for schools. It is now time for those who expect to teach next year to make out their applications, for the new school boards have taken office. If you are inexperienced, it is a good plan not to apply for a school too far from home. Your own county is the best, especially as you are likely to be homesick the first year. But do not count too much upon a position near Bellingham, as not everybody can expect to be in Whatcom county. Always apply to the school board, working through the office of the county superintendent. This saves trouble in receiving a school about which you know nothing and where you may not be qualified to render best service. Do not write too many applications. (Continued on Page Eight) SOLDIERS MUST ASK FOR ARTICLES WASHINGTON, D. C. March | 26.—Shipment of any articles to troops in France, unless they , • have been requested by the soldier himself, was forbidden today by Major General Marsh, acting chief of staff. They will be refused by postoffice and express companies unless accompanied by an approved request from the soldier. :—; *
