The Weekly Messenger Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School VOL. XX BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 1921 NO. 24 BIRD SANCTUARY TO BE STUDENTS TO ESTABLISH A MEMORIAL FOR MISS BAKER A most beautiful and symbolical ceremony is being planned for the dedication of a bird sanctuary as a part of the commencement program. Every organization in the school including the Junior and Senior Classes and the Training School are asked to participate. The ceremony is to be short and symbolical of spring, birds and nature. It is to take on the form of a song pageant with the Alkisiahs opening and closing the program. The exercises are to be held about a corner-stone. The organization will form in back of the dormitory and will march, led by the Alkisiahs, before the audience and each club in turn will do its part, no club taking longer than four minutes. Each club is asked to decide this week as to what it will do; songs or poems about nature are most desirable. Reports as to what will be done by each organization must be handed to Eunice Montague as soon as possible. While this will be the dedication of the sanctuary and undoubtedly the most beautiful affair given on the campus for years, yet the Alkisiahs hope to have this ceremony given each year.

The money for this has been raised by the graduate, registered nurses in their organizations, among the lay people in their districts, and interested physicians. This money is to be divided in three equal parts and distributed between the American Nurse Association, the League of Nursing Education and the National Organization for Public Health Nursing. There is nothing which can contribute more to the health and well-being of a state than an intelligent opinion concerning sickness and health, and the standards of those entrusted with the nursing and care of the people. Nursing standards are higher than they have ever been. This is one of the results of the war. Rank for nurses has been accomplished, nursing is a real profession. In the training schools for nurses the nurse applicant must be a high school graduate. The eight-hour day is an- (Continued on page 2.) .OF NORMAL SPEAKS One of the best talks of the year was given at last Friday's assembly by Dr. Cotton, president of the Normal School of La Crosse, Wisconsin. Dr. Cotton emphasized the fact that only by putting well prepared teachers into the rural schools could the decline of rural school education be checked. He described the six types of teachers found in the schoolrooms today as the profuse, gushing teacher who doesn't know the difference between a nursery and the school room; the snappy, suspicious teacher; the nervous, energetic, worried one; the self-satisfied, deliberate, lazy teacher; the disciplinarian who rules by the rod and strong right arm, and last of all the gentle, womanly woman who, despite theories to the contrary, makes the school room a bright, sunny place which children love. He showed clealy that the teacher makes the school what it is of joy or sorrow to the child and to secure well trained teachers they must be paid a thrift, not a living wage. " The teachers of this country can control teachers' salaries if they put the right-spirit into their work," Dr. Cotton said. . • LECTURE SPEAKER E On the night of March 31st, Mr. Beilharz, the last lecture speaker of the season, gave a faithful and colorful reproduction of the " Hoosier Schoolmaster." Mr. Beilharz has been giving this same lecture for three years, and knows his subject thoroughly. The students applauded him continually and were grateful for the treat. It would indeed be a pleasure to have Mr. Beilharz back again. B. S. N. S. L TO At 8 o'clock tonight in the gymnasium of Whatcom High School, there will be the greatest exhibition of physical strength and skill that has ever been witnessed in Bellingham. Two of the largest high schools in New York City gave an entertainment of this kind and found it to be a wonderful success. Normal and Whatcom High have always been rivals in such athletic contests as baseball, basketball and track. Tonight the meet for the first time in an event which is of an entirely different nature. The Normal will match its champions against those of Whatcom in wrestling, boxing and other contests of this type, such as juggling, balancing and weight lifting. The evening's program is as follows: Boxing — Daley, Y. M. C. A. vs. Al Biddle (professional). Boxing—Powell, Normal, vs. Pearson, High School. Boxing — Groot, Normal, vs. Quack-enbush, High School. A girls' boxing match. Wrestling demonstration by Reed of the local Y. M. C. A. Wrestling—Shaffer, Normal vs. Pan-net, High. School. Wrestling — Squires, Normal, vs. expert professional.

Frances Alda, one of the world's most brilliant and popular sopranos, who has appeared in the greatest opera houses and concert halls of Europe and America, is to sing at the American Theater Wednesday, April 13, at 8:15, under the auspices of the Bellingham Woman's Music Club. Again this season Miss Erin Ballard, pupil of Frank La Forge, will be Mme. Alda's accompanist. She is a talented young American artist, and will give several solos. Miss Ballard has won hearty commendation from critics of the press. " Success cannot be attained without work, and my creed has been work, work, and more work," is a message Mme. Alda has given. Work to her means preparedness, and it was this which enabled her to appear in sixty different concerts and a score of opera performances during the past season. Besides appearing in concerts and opera performances, Mme. Alda has sung for the Victor Company, and her records are in many homes. " This young beauty has a voice of exquisite quality, fresh with the beauty and fullness of youth, and alluring in its color, clear as crystal in the high tones, mellow, warm and appealing," is the tribute paid to her by the Portland Evening Express. STUDENT ¥0DY ELECT OFFICERS FOR YEAR At last Friday's assembly the Student Body elected the board of control for next year. The following members were chosen: Elsie Minor, president; Carol Haeske, vice president; Marion Collier, Mrs. Edna Anstett, Esther Cook, student representatives; Mr. Bond, faculty representative. Mr. Heckmann was reappointed by the faculty as the other faculty representative. Elsie Minor is a Thespian, was on the debate team and was the star player on the basketball team. Carol Haeske belongs to the Philos and was a brilliant debater in high school. Marion Collier is a Philo and a physical education (Continued on page 2.)
