TO NONE," OPENING
OF
"Washington Second to None" was the
slogan with which President Waldo op­ened
his address to the student body of
the Normal last Monday morning. Pres­ident
Waldo made the point that Wash­ington
is a state of great resources—
forests, fisheries, mines, wheat fields,
orchards, etc. Its greatest resources
however is its people and consequently
their chief medium of education—the
public school—is of vital consideration.
In mentioning the public schools, Presi­dent
Waldo called attention to the last
Russel Sage foundation report, in which
Washington is ranked fifth among the
states for its public schools, though once
it had occupied first place. This did not
show that Washington was slipping, said
the speaker, but indicated that some
other states had advanced farther or
more rapidly.
Mr. Waldo urged better salaries and a
longer tnure of office for county sup­erintendents.
If these are provided the
best talent will be attracted to Wash­ington,

the present county superintendents of
the state.

THE RESEARCHERS
Contemporary literature on any given
subject is. invaluable to the researchers,
presenting the material from different
view points, broadening the scope of
any question.
To further this contemporaneous study
of vital topics, the library has received
complete sets of "The Nation" and "The
Living Age" two political and histori­cal
magazines dating from before the
Civil War.
In addition to these magazines the
library expects a shipment of books on
history and social science.

A bird sanctuary is a refuge for birds.
A tract of land set apart as a haven of
safety—a place where birds are never
molested in any way and where every­thing
possible is done to encourage them.
Many such sanctuaries have been es­tablished
in different parts of-the coun­try,
especially in the East, but they are
comparatively unknown in the West.
The National Association of Audobon
Societies has undertaken a plan for es­tablishing
bird sanctuaries all over
America. Its own bird refuge is at Ams-ton,
Conn., the mecca of scientific
ornithologists as well as bird lovers.
Nearly every state in the union has one

field for a Saturday game, and
