The Weekly Messenger VOL. XVIII. Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School BELLINGHAM, WASH., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1019 NO. 17 S Through letters received recently from Miss Mabel Zoe Wilson, our librarian, it is evident that the work which she is doing in the Camp Lewis Library is extremely important and most worth while. It is stated that the Camp Library is well organized in spite of its extreme newness and the difficulty in having trained help. Bight librarians have been donated to the government for special lines of assistance, one of the eight being our own Miss Wilson. It is not a mean task to organize the subject matter of a library of 52,000 volumes in a racnth, but this is the work to which Miss Wilson has .set her hand. WEDNESDAY ASSEMBLY WAS A PLEASANT ONE The faculty and Student Body were entertained at Assembly on Wednesday by Mrs. Spratley, who sang several of the familiar interesting children's songs, written by Eleanor Gaynor. Dr. Nash made the announcement that he had received a telegram asking him to come to Olympia. He is to confer with the legislators concerning the appropriations for a new dormitory, and the need of a new gymnasium will also be mentioned. Dr. Nash gave a few remarks concerning interviews with boys at Camp Lewis who had recently returned from France. His remarks were in substance as follows: We might look at Belgium as being first in importance in the world's war because they held back the Germans, or England might be considered first, they Were the first in defense. Again we think that Prance might have first place — they fought and resisted, almost defenselessly. Then the Italians came in for their share of glory. They even climbed the mountains in order to hold back the German lines. But we are inclined to think that the Americans were the decisive factor in winning the war. The incident referred to was the battle at Chateau Thierry. The French who had been in the war four years were now giving up. They were losing hope. The Yanks were sent to help them hold the Germans back. The Americans sang " Ov,er There " and brought new hope and new life into the French army. The marines, the first Ameri- (Continued on page 2.) A Novel Photograph of Dr. Herre Found DR. ALBERT HERRE (In the Center) This picture was taken more than thirty years ago. z& Through the kindness of Mr. Thompson, instructor in penmanship, we were able to have this picture reproduced in the Messenger. The following excerpt is taken from " The School News and. Practical Education," a book belonging to Mr. Thompson: " This is a picture of three boys taken 32 years ago. They were then attending the Springfield high school and getting out of bed at 3 o'clock every morning to deliver morning papers. A year later they were graduated. " The boy in the middle, Albert C Herre, soon after graduation, became a reporter for the State Register, and a little later was appointed clerk of the board of education of Springfield, which position he filled most satisfactorily. After several years, he was appointed a teacher in the high school, all of which positions he filled with credit to himself. " During these years he was a hard student and pursued correspondence courses prepared by the University of Chicago. Few persons of his age possessed so wide a knowledge of books and subjects. When the head of a- family with several children he removed to California, and entered Leland Stanford University. He has received two degrees from that institution. He has been elected to membership in one ^r more scientific associations of which only persons who have done original research work of a high order can become members. He was appointed assistant to the United States fish commission. He worked with David Starr Jordan, the highest authority upon fishes in the world, and in collaboration with him published 'A Review of the Herring- Like Fishes of Japan.' He has made a most careful study of the flora of a part of California, and, as a result of his labor, his work entitled ' The Foliaceous and Fructicose Lichens of the Santa Cruz Peninsula, Cal.,' was published by the Academy of Science, Washington, D. C" This, in brief, is an account of our Dr. Herre's early life, who is now instructor in the biological department of the Normal. A copy of the book entitled " The Foliaceous and Fructicose Lichens of the Santa Cruz Peninsula, California" is in our library. DR. MILLER EDITS Dr. Irving Miller in collaboration with Dr. Paul Monroe of Columbia University, edited a book entitled " The American Spirit." How the varied traits of the forefathers have blended to make the American spirit a basis for world democracy is briefly told in this volume. " The American Spirit" is a book that will help to strengthen the traditions of our own republic while furthering the cause of world democracy — 1. Besause it brings together the best thought and the most inspiring utterances of patriot leaders from the Colonial period to the present day. 2. Because it is carefully prepared for study, as is shown in the organization of contents, in the helpful footnctes, and in the subject index, which touches nearly every question cf the day. It is admirably suited for use as a reader to supplement courses •n government. 3. Because it is not narrowly national. It emphasizes the fact that the democratic movement is universal— a world movement, that in this movement America must continue to tear the resonsibility that events have thrust upon her; and that it is her duty to transmit to all peoples that spirit which is a complex of the aspirations of men of every walk of life from every land — the American spirit, which is a basis for world democracy.
