Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School Vol. I. BELLINGHAM, WASH., FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 1916 No. 2 ON SOCIAL LFE In the present age more than at any time in the past it is important to develop the social side of our natures. Less than at any time in preceding generations is it possible for man "to live unto himself alone." The disappearance. of the public domain, the invention of modern machinery, the railroad, the ocean greyhound, the automobile, the telegraph, the telephone, newspapers, magazines and books, schools, the moving picture, commerce, religion, fraternal and industrial organizations are rapidly rendering impossible the continuation of the isolation and individualism of the pioneer of a generation or two ago. We are rapidly being compelled to think and plan together, to execute and administer together whether we will or no. Nor should this be a matter of regret. In organized effort there is a strength far beyond the sum of the individual efforts contributed— power and potentiality as yet almost undreamed. You may ask what this has to do with the life of the student. It should have much to do with it. If the above is a true picture of modern life and the school is to prepare at all adequately for life, it must be an actual part of the life current—not something isolated and detached. A training that is human, vital and usable must include not only a mastery of subject matter which has a direct bearing upon life, but also active and intelligent participation in the social, recreational and business affairs of the student body as a whole and of its various organizations. In this way only can one properly prepare for the community and civic activity rightfully expected of every citizen of able body and sound mind. Isolation fosters selfishness, eccentricity, suspicion, jealousy, prejudice, and hatred. Hearty, whole-souled co-operation with one's fellows in work or play engenders the opposite qualities of un- (Continued on Page Eight.) I "Your flag and my flag, and how it flies today; In your land and my land and half the world away; Rose red and blood red its stripes forever gleam, Snow white and soul white, the good forefathers dream; Sky blue and true blue, with stars that gleam aright; The gloried guidon of the day; a shelter t h r o ' the night "Your flag and my flag, and oh, how much it holds! Your land and my land secure within its folds; Your heart and my heart beat quicker at the sight; The one flag, the great flag, the flag for me and you, Glorified all else beside, the red and white and blue." PROF. NEWBILL CANCELLS DATES We have heard with sincere regret that Professor J. T. Newbill is not to be with us this summer. Illness has necessitated the cancellation of all his dates. Prof. Newbill is the organizer of the Boys' and Girls' Clubs for the National Department of Agriculture and had planned some very interesting things for the summer school. We are fortunate in securing as a substitute for Prof. Newbill, Mrs. Elizabeth Jones, assistant in the Boys' and Girls' Club work in the National Department. Mrs. Jones is a charming speaker possessing a great enthusiasm for her work, and will bring inspiration to the summer school during July 6th and 7th. The summer school will be glad to welcome Mrs. Jones. HERE JULY F I H Perhaps the most scholarly and interesting lecture given during the school year of 1915-16 was that by Prof. Baumgardt. We are fortunate in having a return date with this lecturer on July 5th. The summed school students are grateful to the Lecture Course Committee for having provided as lecturer an international character like Prof. Baumgardt. E METHODS CLASS There has been an unusual demand for woi'k in Methods this summer. In response to a request from a large number of teachers who came up from Portland, Oregon, Mrs. Samson was asked to form a class in the fifth and sixth grade methods, which is proving very popular. That was a hapy gathering of Alaskans that assembled at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Rindal on Twenty-First Street last Friday night. Trustee C. M. Olsen, Dr. and Mrs. Nash, Pror'. and Mrs. Scudder, Professor Parish and Professor Epley were among the guests of the occasion. These people of the frozen north and their guests were treated to strawberries, ice cream and other delicacies to their hearts' content. Mr. and Mrs. Rindal are delightful entertainers and the students and teachers who participated in the party of the Alaskans report a most enjoyable evening. T T ADVICE The life and go of a school depends upon' the spirit of every individual that makes it. The student who has no school spirit—no pride in school victories and successes; no grief in defeats; no care whatever for student activities—is as good as dead Dead insomuch as the school and his classmates are concerned. More than that, dead to himself and his opportunities. There is only one place for dead people. Good wholesome enthusiasm is the best tonic ever invented for crabbed-ness and indifference. If you don't think so, try it. The Students' Association is your association; its board of control is your board of controL The purpose of the board is to act as a medium thru which you may express your wishes and ideas individually and collectively. Go to the board and make yourself known. If you have ideas spring them. If you want something done ask for it to be done. Don't wait for the board to start itself; push it. If you don't like what someone else starts, don't pull back silently— say so. Whatever you do—do something. The Normal Book Store is your book store, owned and financed by your association. I you have to buy something, why not buy it of the store which you are running for your own benefit? This year a new policy has been started. The manager is strictly a businessman devoting his entire time to the store for your benefit and convenience. Help him make it a success. It depends upon you. As for the Weekly Messenger, the school has never taken a better and safer step towards progress. It is sure. It is just what we need to bring the students together and hold them. It is yours; you want it; you need it; watch it. Don't only watch The Mesenger— watch the school. It is growing fast. You are part of it; if you don't w&tch it you will lose yourself. GERALD VAN HORN
