have new instructors of prominence this
summer. Prof. H. C. Henderson, of Mil­waukee

Normal school of Kalamazoo, Michigan,
will give a course for advanced students,
on the subject of Gifted Children. He
will teach classes in Psychology of
Youth, and other required courses in

is glad to give special emphasis to the
topic of gifted children, as this sub­ject

treatment.

CATHERINE MONTGOMERY
S

Miss Montgomery, head of the pri­mary
department in the Normal train­ing
school, has been asked to teach dur­ing
the summer session at the Kansas
State Normal College at Emporia
This Normal is one of the largest
teachers' training colleges in the coun­try,
with the best equipped libraries as
well as summer lectures by the best
educators. However, balance this with
the long trip, dust, and heat and it seems
too far from Puget Sound, Miss Mont-gomeiy
feels.
Miss Montgomery has been connected
with the Bellingham Normal for many
years and her work in primary educa­tion
is well known throuout the state.
ART DEPARTMENT WILL
ART DEPARTMENT DESIGNS
Stage Scenery
Miss Druse and Miss Landis, of the
Art department, are working on designs
for the stage scenery to be used for the
coronation ceremony of the 1923 tulip
queen.
A scenic artist will shortly arrive from
Seattle to spend a week here, working
out scenic effects for use in the Ameri­can
theatre at that time.
The design as worked out by Miss
Druse and Miss Landis is, for the first
act, a snow scene, with Mt. Baker in the
background. In the second act of the
pageant, the snow scene disappears, and
is replaced by a spring scene of Mt.
Baker in the background, and tulip
gardens in the foreground.
The entire design, as worked out, is
decidedly effective, and reflects great
credit upon the Art department.
