Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body* Washington State Normal School VOL. XVIII. BELLINGHAM, WASH., SATURDAY, APRIL 12, 1919 No. 27 IN SEATTLE Two representatives of Bellingham Normal, Dr. Nash and' Mr. Kibbe, attended the meeting of the Puget Sound Schoolmasters' Association, held last Saturday at Seattle. Mr. Kibbe has already told us in Assembly of his own experiences and impressions^ The speech made by Dr. Nash at the convention is well reported in the following item which we copy from the Seattle. Times of Saturday, April 5, 1919.• Elementary school teachers should be paid $1200 a year when they start work, and' their salaries rapidly increased until they reach $1600. This was the suggestion made at the national, conventaion of school superintendents and teachers, according to George W. Nash, president of the Bellingham State Normal School, who reported on the convention before the semi-annual meeting u.' the Pugei Sound Schoolmasters' Association, in session.Jiere today in the auditorium of Frederick & Nelson's store. Salaries was one of the chief topics of the Chicago convention, according to Dr. Nash's report. He declared it was frequently stated by speakers that an adequate salary in both the elementary and normal schools is necessary if a high standard of teaching is to be maintained. In computing "salaries of teachers it was declared that many expenses not formerly considered should be 1-rovided for. Among these are contributions to war funds, social life, books, theaters, medical and dental attention, life' and health insurance, adidtional schooling, travel and a reserve fund of at least $300 a year placed at interest or invested in some dividend paying securities. Dr. Nash's report dealt particularly with that branch of the convention devoted to Normal School activities. He said the great subject uppermost in the convention was that of the effect the war would have on conditions after the peace treaty is signed. He said some of- the country's greatest educators believe educational systems will be revolutionized, while others dclare there will be few changes. (Continued on page 2.) BY FACULTY In Assembly Monday morning, Prof. Bever briefly reviewed his visit to The Inland Empire Teachers' Association at Spokane. Two speakers he mentioned as important were Dr. Geo. D. Strayer, of the Columbia University and Dr. J. R. Jewell of the University of Arkansas. Dr. Strayer was radical in wanting to upset the present school system. He said that the present system is an autocracy, and that he would like to see it revolutionized. He declared that there is a feeling that we are not developing initiative and individuality. Dr. Jewell pictured in an intensely interesting fashion, the mountain life of the South, as it was several years past. He told of its backwardness. Finally, however, a school house was erected and things improved until finally the light of day is shown in the valley. :- / Pro£~Bever mentioned a:rgbod talk on . reading and one on tests. and scales,' in the sectional meetings. Miss Anna L. . Bur dick spoke of how the training of sales ladies was going to be taken up by educational institutions, that the hiring of the fourteen- year-old girl for this position was practically a thing of the past. Selling," she said, would soon become an art in itself. . Mr. Kibbe was called upon to tell about the semi-annual meeting of the Schoolmasters' Club, . which he at tended. He commented on several of the addresses which were given. One thing which he thought was especially emphasized was that vocational education is being demanded by the people and that that demand must be met. The remainder of the Assembly period was given over to the students, for the purpose of showing their appreciation to the boys' baseball team, for winning the game at Mount Vernon. School yells were given and several members of the team gave speeches. FORESTRY LECTURE Last Wednesday, Miss Baker introduced to the student body,.the supervisor of National forests, Mr. Parks, who gave a very interesting lecture on the forests of Washington, particularly those of Whatcom and Okanogan Counties. The Washington National forests cover one 1,490,000 acres, and in these forests are many mountains, swamps.arid lakes, and this-comprises some of the most beautiful scenery ou! the Northwest. The Geological Survey maps are not very detailed, so 6nly a few of these interesting points are shown. Everything that is built in the National forests, are put there for the convenience of the campers who go to these places for their vacations. All that is asked is that these people do hot leave fires, or. do anything that may cause danger to the forests. In reserving timber, the govern- 'Baent- is looking toward the future of its people. Timber is fast being cut off, and soon there may be a shortage of lumber, owing to the exhaustive methods of lumbering now being practiced. Twenty-five per cent of the. gross proceeds of forest taxes go to the maintenance of the roads and school fund of this state. Mr. Parks contradicted the popular belief that no mining could be carried on in National forests. This is not so, forest service has nothing to do with mining. Mining in National forests is controlled by the Department of the Interior. In connection with his lecture, Mr. Parks showed some interesting pictures of Washington forestry, particularly that of Northwestern Washington. He. also had manyr beautiful views of the mountains in the Mount Baker region. STUDENTS RALLY AT .Friday, morning, p r Nash introduced Miss Mary E. Brown, president of Western Washington state Women's Christian Temperance Union, who spoke on " The Golden Jubilee " of the W. C. T. U. that is now being celebrated. Miss Brown said that many people are losing their interest in the W.'C. T. U., thinking the work is done, when it is not.. There is still much to do even now that the national liquor prohibition bill has been passed. She spoke of the steps being taken to protect other countries, such as China, who was being overrun with breweries, saloons and distilleries, and that the W. C. T. U. must co-operate with the workers in China so as to protect the Chinese. She also told how the W.-'C. T. U. is carrying on the work started by Frances E. Willard to improve7 moral conditions in this country. In closing," she said that the W. C. T. U. wanted the co-operation of the teachers in explaining to the student something of the past, present and future of the W. C. T. U. Miss Brown was accompanied by Mrs. Amy L. Prouty, Whatcom County chairman of the publicity committee. The Assembly was then turned over to Ernest E. Kobelt, Student Body (Continued on page 2.) %* *2* •£* ••* *** *$• *2* *3* *$* *$• *I* *•• *J* **• •$* C A L E N D A R A L U M N I NOTES 'l Will the girls who take :physical training .please meet in the gymnasium Saturdayr April 12, at 2 o'clock. • Mr. Kenneth Lewis '15 of the U.
