The Weekly Messenger Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School VOL. XIX BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1919 NO. 7 H A L FACULTY i.A. The thirty-third session of the Wash ington Educational Association was held in Seattle, October 29 to November 1, 1619. Each year is held, somewhere in .the state, the W. E. A. and each year the Bellingham State Normal is well represented in this conference. ;; The officers of the W. E. A. for 1919 are Miss Almina George, president, from Seattle; Mr. J. T. Forrest, vice-president, from Bellingham; Mr. O. C. Whitney, secretary, from Tacoma, and Mr. A. C. Roberts, treasurer, from Everett. Prominent speakers of this session, regarded by our representatives as being especially interesting, were Miss Snllie Hill, president National League of Teachers' Association; Dr. William T. Foster, president Reed College, and Dr. Anna Y. Reed, United States Department of Labor, junior division. Miss Hill is devoting herself chiefly to ^he work of the grade teachers. Dr. , Foster took for his subjects, "Morale," and "Surveying Ourselves." Dr. Reed dealt with the " Employment System." She afterwards came to Bellingham and gave us some interesting lectures bearing on this subject. The section meetings were begun on Thursday in which a number of our faculty members were featuring. In the county supervision and normal school section, Mr. James Bever was president. Appearing on the program was Dr. Irving E. Miller, who discussed " Professionalizing the County Superin-tendency." Mathematics, science section, program was addressed by Mr. H. C. Philippi on " Breaking Away from the Traditional Teaching of High School Physics and Chemistry." Mr. E. J. Klemme with " Rural School Problems," helped to clear up some of the difficulties in the rural section. Miss G. Longley was elected president of the home economics section for the state. Dr. Herre has been named as a member of the educational council. Following is a list of the Normal faculty members who attended the W. E. A.: Miss Earhart, Miss Longley, Dr. Miller, Mr. Bever, Miss Sperry, Dr. Herre, Mr. Kibbe, Mrs. Thatcher, Miss Baker, Miss Clark, Mr. Philippi, Mr. Coughlin, Mr. Kolstad, Mr. Klemme, Miss Bell, Miss Mildred Moffat, Mr. Heckman, Miss Crawford, Miss Beas-ley, Mrs. Mayhew and Miss McDonald. All who attended report a very pleasant time. They bring greetings to us from many of the former Normal students, a great number being present, coining especially from Seattle and Tacoma. Aside from the banquets and entertainments of various kinds, the football game between U. of O. and U. of W. was an attraction to a great number. I THE TEETH OF THE GIFT E" IS Last Wednesday at the regular assembly period a group of students from Mr. Hoppe's class in community dramatics presented the clever farce by Margaret Cameron, " The Teeth of the Gift Horse." Florence Butler (Carrie Whittier) is almost distracted because the week before she had sent to a rummage sale a pair of large, hand-painted vases which her husband's aunt had sent as a wedding gift, and now this aunt is coming on a visit. Florence, with the aid of her friends, Anne Fisher (Jessie De Line) tries every device to locate the vases. Aunt Marietta (Mrs. Hartt) arrives and is very downcast because she does not see her vases. Dick Butler (Estella Burnside), who adores his aunt, ignorant of the fact that his wife has sent the vases to the sale, leads the conversation into very embarrassing predicaments. Unable to stand more, Florence drags her husband out of the room " to fix a door" and explains to him. Katie, the servant (Frances Smith), is very much relieved to learn that, the box Aunt Marietta clung to so tenaciously on her arrival, does not contain a bomb but merely a present for Mr. and Mrs. Butler. The present, a clock, most gorgeous in its decoration of butterflies and hoomin' birds, Aunt Marietta explains, matches Mrs. Butler's vases and is meant to stand between them. The clock appeals immensely to Katie's sense of beauty and she thinks it would look gr-rand between the vases her sister's mother-in-law bought at the rubbish sale. Katie describes the vases as having black butterflies and blue and grane hoomin' birds and goold on all the edges. This confirms Aunt Marietta's suspicions as to the fate of her vases. Devlin Blake (Narcissa Collins), a friend of the family and a collector of fine pieces of art, calls just at tea time. He teases Florence about the brace of home manufactured horrors she sent to the rummage sale last week. Dick and Mrs. Dick try to circumvent him but without success and the situation becomes so painful that Dick hurries Aunt Marietta off the scene. Biake, unable to appreciate Flo's distress, treats the affair humorously until Flo explains to him, then his sympathies a re genuinely aroused. Shortly after Dick and Aunt Marietta's return to the sitting room, Anne Fisher comes in with the missing vases. She explains that they have, been to a sort of loan exhibition. Aunt Marietta's last remnant of doubt is explained. away. She is again happy and shows the clock she has brought. Nobly overcoming the shock to artistic temperaments, the vases and the clock finally find a resting place on the mantel. And Aunt Marietta, beaming, promises to paint something nice for each one of them. (Continued on Page Two) SERIES OF LECTURES Tuesday morning at 9 a. m. Dr. Nash presented to the faculty and students of the Normal Dr. Anna Y. Reed, who comes to us from Washington, D. C, where she is director of the junior division of Employment Service. . Dr. Reed is a woman of rare personality, and a very forceful as well as a very entertaining lecturer, and we certainly feel fortunate in being able to have her with us at this time. The bureau of which Dr. Reed is the director at Washington was formed because of the fact that after the war was over in this country thousands of young men and women, boys and girls not yet twenty-one who had been employed in war work, were thrown out of employment, the older men and women being given the preference. One day the business men of Washington got togther and .said " we must do something with these boys and girls," and in five minutes time they had decided to form this junior division of the employment service. The need of such a service was first recognized by the business men, not the high educators. They said, " we will call on the educators to help us solve this problem," but what Mrs. Reed is afraid of is that while the educators are thinking it over the business men will become impatient and will take the opportunity away from us. This is the type of work in which Mrs. Reed is interested, and through this office boys and girls throughout the United States are being handled. Mrs. Reed told in a wonderful manner of the various types of young people who came to her applying for positions. She mentioned the girl who came well prepared technically to handle a good clerical position, with pleasant manners and using good English, but attired in such cheap, inappropriate finery that as she came in the door Mrs. Reed said to herself: " I wonder who would employ her? " Mrs. Reed talked with the girl, and finally was able to show her how important it was to be dressed suitably for office work, and today that girl is filling an important position. The girl had been through a four-year commercial course in high school, but no one had ever told her what she ought to wear, so that Mrs. Reed felt that in that case the teacher was partly to blame. Other students came wishing work, but not prepared to offer anything that the business man could pay for, and some of them wanted to teach because they were told that teaching was the most respectable way to make the most money, and yet many of these people came from schools purporting to hfive fine vocational trades teachers. Some of the points Dr. Reed emphasized were these: Teaching is not a profession of the past, but one of. the future, but that the teacher of the future (Continued on page 2) The pre-primary room had a regular Hallowe'en party Thursday morning last, when they entertained their fathers, mothers and little friends. For several days they had been very busy making favors and decorations for the tables which were gay with color. Following the Hallowe'en stories and games came the refreshments, home made, dainty, yet wholesome. The presence of the patrons and their friends made the party one of great pleasure to the children as well as to the teachers. The first and second grades had their regular community program with drawn shades and walls adorned with the work clone during the drawing periods. The songs and dramatizations were seasonal, reflecting the best elements of the Hallowe'en spirit. The fourth grade pupils bobbed for apples, which were suspended from strings across the room, just before the end of the last period, to make the day hfive a festive ending. The third graders had to earn their owls and black cats by a language drill which only added to the value of the prize. It takes but little to make a child happy, to send him home with joy in his heart. IS GIFT TO Mr. Harry B. Sewell, manager of the Paget Sound Traction Light & Power Company has recently given to the institution a framed map of the Puget Sound District. It covers the territory between the international boundary and Olympia, and from the Cascade mountains to tide-water. It has been compiled from data of the geological survey, the office of the state engineer and of the engineers of the counties of Whatcom, Skagit, Snohomish, King, Pierce, Kitsap and Thurston and from the surveys and records of the Puget Sound Traction Light & Power Company. It shows the routes of the company's transmission lines, the steam and electric railways, automobile roads and waterways, as well as the rivers and smaller streams. It also locates their generating plants, both hydraulic and steam. This map is a valuable addition to the map literature of Western Washington. NORMALITES IN WHITMAN COUNTY The following Normalites were reported as attending the Whitman County Institute: Miss Ruth Leyshon, who sends greetings to all; Florence Zader, Louise Vulliet-Bartelt, Mary Newell Miles, Esther Baldwin Hale, Elva Krause- Lacey, Edna Stone.
