Education . . .
. . . Digest
An interesting slant on the teach­ing
profession as printed in a recent
News Bulletin in the form of a
letter:
"Dear Superintendent
"I appreciate your kind offer of
a job for my girl. She had her
heart set on being a school teacher,
but I talked her out of it. Teaching
school is too much like being a
preacher's wife. It's a high callin',
but people expect you to give more'n
they pay for.
"You take the teachers here in
town. The only difference in them
and Christian martyrs is the date
and lack of bonfires. They were
hired to teach and they do it. They
teach the youngun's that learn, and
entertain the ones that fell on their
heads when they was little, but that
ain't enough, their supposed to make
obedient little angels out of spoiled
brats that never minded nobody,
and wetnurse little wildcats, so
their mothers can get a rest, and
make geniuses out 6'children that
couldn't have no sense with the
parents they've got.
"But that ain't the worst. They've
got to get up shows and plays to
work the school out of debt, and
sing in the choir, and teach a Sun­day
school class, and when they
ain't doin' nothin' else they're sup­posed
to be a good example.
"They don't get no pay for three
-months, and can^t pay their, board
or buy decent clothes, and on top
of everything else they can't hold
hands comin' home from prayer"
meetin' without some gossipy old
sister startin' a scandal on them.
"I'd just as soon be a plow mule.
A mule, works just as hard, but.it
can relieve its soul by kickin' up it's
heels after quittin' time without
startin' any talk. I appreciate your
kind offer and may the Lord have
mercy on you, but my daughter is
not interested.
"Yours very truly,
"MARY'S MOTHER."

Texas Outlook.
Recently the American Library
Association made a survey to find
out what children's books published
in the last five years are popular
with boys and girls. They found
that American youth looks for hu­mor,
adventure, and imagination in
its literature^and doesn't necessarily
find them only in the comics. Chil­dren
like animal stories, books based
on family life and the adventure of
every-day boys and girls, whether
the scene is laid in present-day
America or the past. Many librar­ians
reported that first-hand re­ports
from war correspondents are
more popular than war books writ­ten
for boys and girls.
At the University of Virginia Hos­pital
in Charlottesville there is a
Preventatorium, a -sixteen room
house built by the Virginia Educa­tion.
Association in 1929 to place the
means for tuberculosis preventative
care within reach of teachers.
Any active VEA member who has
once made a contribution of four
dollars to the welfare fund of the
association becomes eligible for all
hospital privileges including private
room, X-ray, laboratory examinar
tions, use of operating rooms, med­ical
and surgical care at a mini-j
mum cost.

Mystery Hike Slated
For This Saturday
. A mystery hike is being planned
for Saturday, August 11. Everyone
is requested to bring a lunch and
meet at the 7:40 a. m. bus, to Seattle
that goes by way of Chuckanut.
Tuesday, August 14, there is to be
an industrial trip to the Firestone
Tire & Rubber plant in Ferndale.
The bus will leave at 3:00 p. m. and
will return about 6:00 p. m.
Watch the bulletin board for fur­ther
particulars and for a chance to
sign up. Everyone should plan to
attend both the hike and trip as
they will bring to a close the sum­mer
recreation program.
Miss Muffley and Miss Hopper
are in charge of the hike and in­dustrial
trip.
Deep Water Bay
Trip Enjoyale
About thirty people enjoyed an
evening cruise to Deep Water Bay
Tuesday evening, August 7. They
left on the same boat that was
chartered for the Fourth of July
and made a stop at Eliza island
where picnic suppers were' in order.
Many hiked over the island and
explored the small abandoned
shacks on the island as well as the
beaches.
The ^weather was ideal for such
a cruise although the wind made the
water a little rough on the way
home. Singing was enjoyed both
going and coming.
Miss Hopper 4was in charge of the
cruise.
Sten Englund,
Basso, To
Sing Tuesday
Sten Englund, basso, will appear
in the college assembly on Tuesday.
An inventory of Mr. Englund's gifts
shows that he has a legitimate bass
voice, which for natural beauty,
range and power will stand compar­ison
with any on the stage today.
In addition to being an experi­enced
operatic and concert singer,
Mr. Englund is an accomplished
oratorio singer, his professional ser­vices
being in great demand by the
choral societies of Los Angeles and
other cities of the southland. He
has appeared many times as guest-artist
in productions of the Los An­geles
Federal Opera Project.
Mr. Englund brings not only a
bass voice of beautiful quality, and
wide range but his platform manner
evinces commendable sincerity and
a laudable desire to employ his great
gifts for interpretation rather than
for exhibitionism.
Sten Englund came to America,
from his native Sweden, in 1926.
After a year's study in New York
he moved to Salt Lake, where he
studied wtih the late Clive Brad­ford.
Later he went to San Fran­cisco
and was there tutored by Mme.
Bourskayia, noted Russia voice
teacher. In 1935 he moved to Los
Angeles and the following year he
won the $1,000 prize awarded by the
Allied Arts in a contest, sponsored
by the Los Angeles Examiner, in
which more than 400 singers com­peted.
Mr. Englund achieved "top
rating" among the southland art­ists.
FLASH!
As the Collegian goes to press,
many rumors have started to the
effect that Japan may soon agree
to peace terms. Nothing official is
known yet but it is reported that
Japan will surrender if the emporer

Hood, Upshall And
Breuer Aid Building
Of Atomic Bomb
Two WWC faculty members and a
former instructor in the Bellingham
schools have been actively identi­fied
with the development of the
atomic bomb.
They are John S. Hood, a fore­man
at the Oak Ridge plant and a
former instructor in the city schools;
Dr. C. C. Upshall, formerly head of
the research.department at the col­lege;
and Lyle Breuer, former
science professor on the college fac­ulty.
All three, called to the university'
at Berkley more than three years
ago, have since been stationed at
the government's huge plant at Oak
Ridge, Tennessee. John Hood left
Bellingham two years ago to work
for the government in the research
on the atomic bomb experiment at
the University of California in Berk­ley.
Dr. Upshall and Dr. Breuer
left WWC, where they were instruc­tors,
a little later than Hood did.
They also went to the University
of California, and later to the Oak
Ridge plant. '
Dr. Upshall received his doctor's
degree in psychology at Columbia
University and' came to Western
Washington College in 1929.
Dr. Breuer, also received his doc­tor's
degree in science, at Cohuribia,
and came to the college at the be-,
ginning of Dr. W. W. Haggard's
presidency.
