Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School VOL. XVIII. BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 9, 1919 No. 38 II TALKS ON RUSSIA Dr. W. D. Kirkpatrick, major in the United States Medical Corps and recently returned from ,Russia gave an interesting flpcture on the Russian people ajt Monday's assembly. Dr. Kirkpatrick has seen service in Serbia, Roumania, Russia and practically all of the far eastern theatre of the war. He took up especially the peasant class and told vividly their habits and peculiarities. It was a fortunate and rare opportunity for us to hear Dr. Kirkpatrick's ' wonderful descriptions of the people whose customs-we have so little chance of learning. A few extracts from his speech follow: . . . ). . - "In North Russia the people live along the waterways and in any description of village life it seems proper to begin with a few words on the rivers of Russia which have been from remote antiquity the great channels of trade and migration They flow with a gentle gradient and many large tributaries' collect the water, from vast areas of low country. Boats could be conveyed over easy portages from one river basin to another and these portages have been during past centuries gradually changed by a relatively small amount of labor into navigable canals. "The great Dwina river which empties into the White Sea at the head of the gulf of Archangel is formed by the union of the Yeg and the Sukhens and this last is connected by canals with waterways flowing west into the Baltic and by still other canals with branches of- the Volga allowing boat passage south and east even into the distant . Caspian Sea. Fish abound in the Dwina and its branches and furnish much of the food of the people along its banks, and the extensive forests of north Russia which are* mostly of spruce and pine, the trees of which seldom attain a size of more than a couple of feet in trunk diameter, give the house timber and fuel in plenty. There are three features of national custom of the Russian peasant that are particularly marked—the wooden house, the oven, the bath. The houses follow one plan of construction, are two stories in height, built of squared logs and with partitions of logs. The front of the building is used for living 'purposes and the back, separated by log (Continued on page two) ALL ABOARD, WHOOPEE! D Next Saturday, July 11, the entire school will depart from its abode of dignified learning and excurse to Glacier, in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. Step up, ladies and gentlemen, and get your tickets. Then some dry, petrified mummy asks, "What's the use of spending a dollar and a half just to travel over a bumpy little country railroad and visit some hot old burgh up in the foothills?" "What is the use," you say. Listen. Glacier isn't a city. No, it isn't a town. Its not a village either. It is mostly a name for one end of the Bell-ingham and Northern Railroad, witjh ust enough stores to supply the demand for ice-cream cones. If you are going to visit Glacier, bring along some book to read. Glacier is the nearest town to Mt. Baker, considered by all who have been on it one of the most beautiful mountains in America. For five thousand feet Mt. Baker raises its aged head above the topmost tree. Those of you who are good walkers can get to Heliotrope Ridge, half way up the mountain, and on the brink of the largest Glacier in th'e United States. Only those who are good hikers should tackle it, tho. But Glacier is more noted for its shorter scenic trips. There is Lookout Mt., where you can get as good a view of Mt. Baker as may be had. There is Skyline Ridge; rather a long hike but one of the most beautiful. Church Mt. has always proved a favorite with short-winded sight seers, altho it is by no means an easy climb. The trail is four and a half miles long and rises some six thousand feet. St)eep? Oh no, worse than that. A very good view of Mt. Baker and all the surrounding country may be obtained. However, if you 'do not! care for limbing you may wander up the Nook-sack River to Excelsior and the Nook-sack Falls. Very little is ever said about the Nooksack Falls for very few people ever go there, but some day it will be one of the best known spots in Washington. The scenery along the river is almost unsurpassable and the torrent of water pouring thru the gorge reminds one of the good old days of Noah. It is from these falls that Bell-ingham, as indeed, all Whatcom County, eceives its electric light supply. There are a , hundred other placejs to attract the picnicer. Beautiful little (Continued on page" 3)" TO SOMETIME THIS WEEK Klipsun, the school annual put out by he seniors will be ready or distribution this week. The delay in getting the nnual out was due to the Western En-raving Company's not having the engravings ready. This year's Klipsun is in many ways, a distinct departure from ;the traditional book. Many new features have been added, and no detail which would help make the book more effective and nteresting, has been neglected. Klipsun this year has quite distinctly a personality of its own. Marked originality" is the notable feature of the book, which not only fulfills the standards of the past but rixises them as each new Klipsun should. The Normal may well feel proud of the '19 Klipsun, and the Seniors are to be congratulated. Some of the features deserving' of special mention are the very fine engravings and the page border. Each page has a border in blue in which the name "Klipsun" has been very artis-ically incorporated. The fcffective cover design is by Gtrtrude Hodgson. A -space in the back has been ar-onged for snap shots and signatures. The book has been dedicated to Dr. Nash. Nona Richardson, acting editor-in-chief, who took the place of Margaret McNaughton, is deserving of - special mention for her faithful work in helping put the Klipsun out. Harry Sorenson s business manager has worked very hard to help make the book the success it is. The other members of the committee, who have contributed their • best efforts in getting out the book are: Mary Jewett, Augusta Stockton, Ruth Schwartz, J. F. Neiswender and Fin " Owen. There will be a few copies avail-ble for summer school students. 'GRE'EN STOCKINGS' TO BE TOMORROW NIGHT Tomorrow night in the Auditorium the Thespian Club will present "Green Stockings." which was the Senior play, and which has been revived with a partially new cast for . tomorrow's per-ormance. The production is in .the hands of Mr. Hoppe, of the Expression Department, and he is also to play the principal male role in the play—that of Col. John Smith. It is expected that the entire student body will attend t^her' performance. E. GAUL TELLS OF Wednesday morning, in "Dr. Nash's lass" we were delightfully entertained by Mr. James E. Gaul, of Bellihgham, who told of some of his adventures in he "Land of Romance," South America. Fe began by saying he' fell 'P:e the Iishman who. fell down three .>,- four stories—"not dead, but speechless." The tory opened .with the leaving of the steamer, amid mingled sounds of mu-ic from the ship's band, calling of the ship's officers and the shouts, of the passengers and the people on the pier TTe went on to describe very sjr'ph i^lly the effect of the rougher water. a-> thev passed out on tti? broad Atlantic upon those of the passengers who i'ere "poor sailors." T-Ti? attributed the difference in de-elopment of North and South America to the difference in aim of the pioneers vho settled the two continents. North America was settled by the Anglo-Saxon race—men of vision who ame to make homes. The men who ame to South America were adventur-rs in search of gold and whose main urpose was to exploit the land. The ncas, whose civilization was an ideal ommunistic proposition, doing away with all originality and initiative, fell before the strong invader as all people with, such a civilization must. ' next part of the journey takes one over a calm ocean, still, save where lying fish cause ripples on the sur-ace. The passengers appear now in (Continued on page 3) - «$• 4$» •£• •$• « £ • • £ • « £ » • £ • • £ » • £ » «£• •£• •$• «$• • CALENDAR • • Thursday, July 10.—Y. W. C. • • A. meeting at 2 P.
