The Weekly Messenger Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School VOL. XVIII. BELLINGHAM, WASH., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1<'18 NO. 10. Sister's League meets every Monday night in the sewing rooms on first floor. The Rural Life Club will meet Thursday, December 19 in room 120. L STU-I Majbel Aaberg, a former Normal student, fassed away, a victim of tuberculosis, November 18th, at Lake-view Sanitarium, after an illness of several months. She had attended Normal for two years, and taught at Lakeview last year until March, when her failing health compelled her to give up her school duties. Funeral services were held November 20th. Among the floral offerings was a large wreath from her pupils, and a bouquet of roses from Bellingham friends. Mabel Aaberg was born in Minnesota May 13, 1895. She^came west with her parents in 1900, and since then has lived at Roy, Wash. She leaves to mourn her early departure, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Aaberg, three sisters and three brothers, one of whom is serving with the American army in France, and a host of friends. One sister, Eleanor, was a student at the Normal High in 1916-17. Among her friends at Normal Mabel will be remembered as an industrious, ambitious student, a favorite with teachers and students alike, having a special fondness for music and nature study. When told by her doctors that she could not live, she declared she she would fool them all, she had so much to live for. During her last hours she spoke of 3ellingham and the good times she had here, saying it was the best year of her life. She asked to be buried in the dress she wore when she played the commencement march for the class of '17. . "None knew thee but to ove thee, None named thee but to praise." Miss Olive Watson, '12, a teacher in the Los Angeles schools, was suffering from neuritis, and in order to regain her health, she started north working her way from city to city. It took lier three months to come north, but she is now feeling well and strong again. The Messenger feels all associated with the Normal will be glad to read this letter, direct from Dr. Mathes: Rainy, France, Nov. 6, 1918. Pres. G. W. Nash, Bellingham, Wash., U. S. A. My Dear Dr. Nash: It hardly seems possible that it is almost six months since I came into this land of war and sacrifice, but the officers of the "Y" at Paris tell me that the date is here for a rest and a change, so today finds me at a little hotel, in a comfortable village far to the north of the great French metropolis, spending the night on my way in a Ford to the one city in France that we may mention in our letters, the great French capital. I left our headquarters in the extreme north of old Picardy, at nine this A. M., drove 85 kilometers, stopped with French friends for lunch, then made a drive of 65 kilometers this afternoon, reaching here at four-thirty. It is dark on rainy days in these parts soon after four o'clock at this season of the year. I hope to reach Paris by noon, if I have no more serious mishaps than I have borne so far—a leaky radiator that runs empty every thirty minutes, and a leaky tube that requires pumping up every two hours. Let me add, however, that we consider such conditions as these very minor troubles—so long as "Henry" will go at all we are quite contented. I have not met a Bellingham boy since I came over here. I did meet one who had formerly lived there, but whom I did not know at the time —but I was fortunate enough to meet Revs. Wilson, Hudson, and King, all on the streets of Paris at different times It seems good to see many Americans on the streets of Paris, and it makes one feel glad he is an American when he sees how grateful many of the French people are for our assistance in the war. And one further must ride over the devastated areas tc appreciate how much the French people have suffered and lost in the struggle. During the past two months it has been necessary for me to ride repeatedly over long stretches of this desolate waste, and I have often wished I might be able to take one of the ruined districts and transport it, in all its desolation, to the U. S., and set it down outside of New York or Chicago, where large numbers of our people could see it. They would then know why we are in this war, and know why it is so very necessary (Continued on Page Two) OF Word was received at the Normal this week that Miss Mary L. Jensen, for many years head of the Latin and German .Departments of this school, was married in September to Mr. W. O. Shackelford, of New Jersey. The news came as a distinct surprise to the many friends of Miss Jensen among both faculty and students. Miss Jensen was one of the most popular teachers ever associated with the Normal. She was a Sponsor and patient adviser of the Philomathean Literary Society from its birth ten years ago until last year when she resigned from school. For years she was Secretary of the Faculty and Chairman of the Life Diploma Committee. None of Miss Jensen's intimate friends suspected when she went' east last summer that she contemplated matrimony. Her marriage is the -culmination of a youthful romance, from her early college days. Mr. Shackelford is Government Meat Inspector for New Jersey, and at present their address is 16 Oak Street, Weehawken, New Jersey. THANKSGIVING TEA IS SERVED BY Y J . C J . On Thanksgiving Eve. the girls of the Normal Y. W. C. A. served a tea in the rest room on the third floor, to which, all the members df the school were invited. After a solid hour, refreshments were served and many charming selections rendered on the piano by Miss Avis Dodge and Florence Townsend; also on the phonograph. Everyone was gay and happy and seemed to be having a great time. It was surprising how fast the wafers and cookies disappeared, directly after such a plentiful Thanksgiving dinner. LIEUTENANT BEN TIDBALL. Ben Tidball, who at one time attended B. S. N. S., has been commissioned a lieutenant of artillery by the School of Fire, Saumner, France. He graduated from Whatcom High in this city in 1910, attended the Normal one year, and was taking a law course at the University when he enlisted. After leaving the officer's training camp at Camp Lewis, and passing the mathematical texamina-tion at Camp Jackson, S. C, he was sent to France, where he has already distinguished himself. OR. HERRE'S IDEAS In this momentous period of the world the magazines ore crowded with articles giving various thinkers' ideas as to what policies the world is to follow in dealing with the problems of the great war. In the last issue of the "New Republic," John Dewey, of Columbus University, gives some inspiring and illuminating liberal ideas. The Messenger thot it would be of great interest to its readers to present them some of the opinions from the head of the Science Department of the Normal, our own Dr. Herre. Dr. Herre is a bioligst of great scholarship, having secured his Ph. D. degree ^rom Stanford under tihle tutelage of David Starr Jordan. He has worked in the Imperial Museum of • Vienna. Unlike many scientists whose interests are materialistic, Dr. Herre is a philosopher, an idealist, and something of a poet. A summary of his ideas follow: One of the great questions of today is, "Shall the United States government retain the railroads?" Those especially interested will enjoy the article by Weyle in the "New Republic." It has been argued that thru government ownership comes the danger of building up an official caste which would enable a small number to control the nation. The recent government control of railroads, and the operation of the United States post-office has proved the fallacy of the argument. American people have allowed most things to be controlled by private industries and corporations because of their fear of a paternalistic government. The United States is behind every other nation, except Japan, in improving the industrial conditions of its people, and in giving them equal opportunities in the ownership and use of land. During the war period, business enterprises spent incredible sums of money for further destruction. It is the general opinion of scientists that if even a part of this money and energy had been used with the knowledge already gained in chemistry, physics and biology, all people could have an equal access to the resources of nature.. By utilizing our resources we could abolish a large number of diseases that injure man, his domestic animals, and his crops. We could speed up production so that there would be plenty of food and the (Continued on Page Two)
