VOL. X X X ^ N O . 42 WASHINGTON S T A T E NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM. WASHINGTON Friday, August 7...193-1. Normalite AUGUUSTINE COMMANDS EASTMAN TURKEY By MA* Stewart Impressions from the Passion Play Scenery: The Clouds. Scenes: The Crucifixion Characters: Judas. W.S.N.S. Prom St. Augustine: "What is now called the Christian religion, has existed among the ancients, and was not absent from the beginning of the human race, until Christ came in the flesh; from which time the true religion, which existed already, began to be called Christian." W.S.N.S. And from Max Mueller: "Though sometimes hidden, the essential elements of all religions rise again and again to the surface. Though frequently distorted, they tend again and again to their perfect form." If this be true, may not some good come from Russia's atheistic experiment which will remove distortions and prejudices from immature minds? W.S.N.S. Three of Gandhi's ten commandments: 1. Abstaining from the possession of things in themselves. 2. Adherence to life's law that one's bread must be earned by the sweat of one's brow. 3. Belief that man's primary duty is to serve his-neighbor. - Nice topics for Sunday sermons •r discussion clubs, but rather out of tune with the practical philosophy necessary for success in a capitalistic world. W.S.N.S. George Eastman, friend of Edison and Burroughs, solver of unemployment problems within his own organization, has 'said: "To say you are a success is to say you are 'down and out'; there is always something more to work for." With a liking for the letter "k", Eastman coined the word "kodak" by simply inserting the rest. W.S.N.S. , Prom "A Glimpse of the New Education in Turkey": "Girls sat among the boys; it was co-educational, and perhaps the most surprising of all was the young woman teacher who dared to lift her voice as one freed from male domination and capable of leading the young. "The Story of now, in less than a year, Turkey has taught herself a new wriiien language is both revolutionary and spectacular.*' Results are always spectacular when a sincere thirst for knowledge meets no strong hindrance.

Whereas under the old law a married woman . . . could not dispose of her properly without her husband's consent; under the new laws women enjoy full and unrestricted disposing capacity." To get a divorce all that has to be done is call in a couple of neighbors who witness the declaration of intention to separate. The divorce is then in effect.

'';'•',.-H. According to Mr. Phillip C. Nash, ex-member of the National World Court committee, and present director of the League of Nations association, there would have been no World War in 1914 if there had been a court to which the grievances of the nations involved could have presented. Mr. Nash expounded this and many other ideas concerning world peace in his lecture "The Machinery of Peace," in the assembly last Tuesday morning. He attributes the absence of major wars between European countries during the past eight years to the industry of the men working for international arbitration. As an illustration, he used the controver-. sy between Greece and Bulgaria, which, but for the intervention of representatives from other nations, Would have proved very" serious. Born in Hingham, Mass., Mr. Nash has retained all of he New Englander's admiration for correctness and preciseness of details. It is these two traits that he so admires in the organization of the league. In 1911 he graduated from Harvard in Civil Engineering. Prom 1913 until the World War, he was engineer of the Boston Transit company. After the war he was appointed Professor of Civil Engineering at Northeastern College, following which he became Dean of Antioch College at Antioch, O. Later he was appointed President of the Association of Presidents and Deans of the Ohio State Colleges. Mr. Nash has spent a great deal of time in Geneva, studying the peace proposal, and has taken an active interest in all international affairs brought before the men there. He expressed regret that the United States was not to be legally represented at the conference to be held in Geneva, in February. He was vice-chairman of the Committee for the tenth anniversary of the League of Nations, when it welcomed general Jan Christian Smutts to the United States. FOUR STUDENTS ARE PLACED IN TEACHING POSITIONS BY BUREAU Miss Elizabeth Hopper reports that four students have secured teaching positions during the past week.

Three Years There Miss Church, who spent three years in Shanghai, China doing secretarial and teaching work, spoke most interestingly and sympathetically of the Chinese people as she came to know them during her stay in the country. Contrary to current opinion, Miss Church said that the Chinese people practice personal cleanliness and; hygiene, but pay little attention to public health and sanitation. Excursions Many . Her excursions on foot, and by boat and train into the hinterland, gave a real insight into the ways and manners of the Chinese outside the port cities. Miss Church lias a very fine collection of pictures of Chinese public buildings, and photographs of the people in their native surroundings. These were passed among the members of the class and gave added reality to her recital. Mr. Williams is inviting a number of local people who know the Orient, to speak from time to time befdre the class. | '•••''••>'•• A truant frog from an aquarium belonging to the nature study class, caused some excitement this week by going for a 'hop' down the hall outside room 202. After a most unmerited turmoil, he was captured and restored to his aquarium; but having seen a part of the world, he thirsted for wider travel, so he again made his escape. This time he was discovered by a field biology student, much to her delight and amazement, and she has taken measures to keep the runaway where he belongs. This should be a comfort to those of a timid nature. Animal life is becoming abundant about the building, apparently. A large lutescent warbler with literary aspirations made himself a prisoner in' the Viking office last Wednesday. He was not accepted as a member of the staff.

Prom the strokes of the bell which foretold the rise of the curtain on act I of the Freiburg Passion Play, to the fall of the curtain on the last act, a reverence, which is inspired by seeing such a production, held the audiences spellbound at the American theater during three days this week. . The age-old drama was sponsored by the Normal school and played Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings* and Wednesday afternoon to Bellingham and Whatcom county audiences at the American theater. The drama was staged by the original players from Freiburg, Baden, Germany, under the direction of Adolph Passnacht, who is featured in the character role of the Christus. All in German Although the play is given entirely in German, it loses hone of its forcefulness, the action being so well defined in its Biblical sources that the audience is enabled to follow the familiar story. Eacli character was excellent in his particular role. Adolph Fass-nacht, as the Christus, impressed the audience with his gentleness, sufferance, and holiness. Judas, played by Willi Ehrardt, was crafty and arrogant, in his plotting, with _fthe priests for the betrayal. This lends vividness and drama to his later appearance, as a man beaten down by anger and remorse. Leading Roles The two leading feminine roles, Mary, the mother, and Mary Mag> delena, as portrayed by Elsa Pass CLASS MAKES MODEL MODERN DINING ROOM FOR SHELTER STUDY As a basis for the study of utensils and shelter, one section of Miss Zeal Z. Wilson's la industrial arts group has constructed a model for a dining room of a modern home. Color Scheme The class worked out a color scheme, and made the wall paper, furniture, drapes, and china. This was a co-operative project to which all contributed. The furniture was constructed from fruit boxes and, in the absence of other furniture, could be used for a iibrary, a reading corner, or a grocery store. o IVARSON WILL SING HERE NEXT TUESDAY SINGER WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY EDITH M.

A vocal Concert, which promises to to be a real musical treat, will be presented by Mr. Herman Holt Ivar-son in Tuesday's assembly. Mr. Ivarson has a beautiful bass-baritone voice which is sure to please his audience. He has done extensive concert work in Minneapolis, Minn., where he is also a radio artist. Lives in Rochester His home is in Rochester, Minn., where he is a teacher of voice. He is in the Northwest for the month of August, only. He will be accompanied by Miss Edith.

This was given in the form of a lecture-recital, and was entitled "Prejudices." Speaks of Prejudices Before reading the story, Dean Dennis spoke briefly of the many deep-seated prejudices held by so many pebpie. "Aunt Polly'' is much concerned about the manners and morals of her sister's children. She deplores their lack of respect for their elders. As a last resort she decides to tell thek the story of rnankhid, in the hope that, when the children learned of the stupenduous advancement made by the human race, they wouid have more respect for and quite a little awfe of the older gen- .^ic&v•'-TMfe • story; tbfeth&r- iitH the; numerous questions which the children ask tkeir aunt, causes the audience much amusement, as well as giving stimulus for serious WELL TEAMED Students in assembly this morning were charmed by the beautiful classical program given by Gene Wallin and John Sundsten. The program Opened with Gene Wallin's famous interpretation of "Pace, Pace, Mio Dio," by Verdi. Then followed two delightful numbers, "Taccato" and "Fugue tot) Minor," by Bach-Tausia, played by John Sunsten. The third group of the program, "Sdhnett," by Sundsten; "To Be Sung on the Water," by Schubert; "The Asra," by Rub-enstien, were sung by Gene Wallin, followed by three numbers, "Fountain of Acqua Paola," by Griffe; "March to the Gallows," by Palm-greh; "Prelude in A Minor," by Debussy, played by John Sundsten. Final Group The final group was "Lamaht of Isi," by Bantock; "Fifth Avenue," by Armond; and "Isis," by Wolf, a beautiful conclusion and a lasting memory. These musicians have had various engagements; and it is interesting to observe some "press notes" that have appeared in leading newspapers of the country: Gene Wallin, a dramatic soprano with a lovely crystalline voice, who has personal grace and beauty, sang "Only a Rose" which is the gem of the richly colorful score—Buffalo (N. Y.) Courier. Gene Wallin has a voice of great sweetness and power and personality of exceptional refinement and charm which goes straight to the heart of her audience, as was unmistakably evidenced yesterday.— Richmond (Va.) News Leader. Gene Wallin has a dramatic voice which she uses intelligently. She sings easily with clarity and tone and perfection of enunciation that win lasting admiration. She impressed her hearers wth her interpretive versatility.—Seattle, Times. Of John Sundsten, the critics, write: He played his solo numbers beautifully, afld was given an ovation after his masterly interpretation of the "Grieg Ballade in G Minor." —Oslo> Norway. Mr. Sundsten displayed mastery of the pianoforte in his groups, and his sure technique and authoritative interpretations won his audience to immediate approval. —Music and Musicians, D. S. Craig. J. Sundsten, pianist, produces a fine tone, his phrasing is clear-cut and his interpretations interesting. —Fargo, N. D., Forum. O : r WORK OUT CLASS DOES MUCH WORK IN ELECTRICAL CONSTRUTtON.

The drama was staged by the original players from Freiburg, Baden, Germany, under the direction of Adolph Passnacht, who is featured in the character role of the Christus. All in German Although the play is given entirely in German, it loses hone of its forcefulness, the action being so well defined in its Biblical sources that the audience is enabled to follow the familiar story. Eacli character was excellent in his particular role. Adolph Fass-nacht, as the Christus, impressed the audience with his gentleness, sufferance, and holiness. Judas, played by Willi Ehrardt, was crafty and arrogant, in his plotting, with _fthe priests for the betrayal. This lends vividness and drama to his later appearance, as a man beaten down by anger and remorse. Leading Roles The two leading feminine roles, Mary, the mother, and Mary Mag> delena, as portrayed by Elsa Pass CLASS MAKES MODEL MODERN DINING ROOM FOR SHELTER STUDY As a basis for the study of utensils and shelter, one section of Miss Zeal Z. Wilson's la industrial arts group has constructed a model for a dining room of a modern home. Color Scheme The class worked out a color scheme, and made the wall paper, furniture, drapes, and china. This was a co-operative project to which all contributed. The furniture was constructed from fruit boxes and, in the absence of other furniture, could be used for a iibrary, a reading corner, or a grocery store. o IVARSON WILL SING HERE NEXT TUESDAY SINGER WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY EDITH M.

This was given in the form of a lecture-recital, and was entitled "Prejudices." Speaks of Prejudices Before reading the story, Dean Dennis spoke briefly of the many deep-seated prejudices held by so many pebpie. "Aunt Polly'' is much concerned about the manners and morals of her sister's children. She deplores their lack of respect for their elders. As a last resort she decides to tell thek the story of rnankhid, in the hope that, when the children learned of the stupenduous advancement made by the human race, they wouid have more respect for and quite a little awfe of the older gen- .^ic&v•'-TMfe • story; tbfeth&r- iitH the; numerous questions which the children ask tkeir aunt, causes the audience much amusement, as well as giving stimulus for serious WELL TEAMED Students in assembly this morning were charmed by the beautiful classical program given by Gene Wallin and John Sundsten. The program Opened with Gene Wallin's famous interpretation of "Pace, Pace, Mio Dio," by Verdi. Then followed two delightful numbers, "Taccato" and "Fugue tot) Minor," by Bach-Tausia, played by John Sunsten. The third group of the program, "Sdhnett," by Sundsten; "To Be Sung on the Water," by Schubert; "The Asra," by Rub-enstien, were sung by Gene Wallin, followed by three numbers, "Fountain of Acqua Paola," by Griffe; "March to the Gallows," by Palm-greh; "Prelude in A Minor," by Debussy, played by John Sundsten. Final Group The final group was "Lamaht of Isi," by Bantock; "Fifth Avenue," by Armond; and "Isis," by Wolf, a beautiful conclusion and a lasting memory. These musicians have had various engagements; and it is interesting to observe some "press notes" that have appeared in leading newspapers of the country: Gene Wallin, a dramatic soprano with a lovely crystalline voice, who has personal grace and beauty, sang "Only a Rose" which is the gem of the richly colorful score—Buffalo (N. Y.) Courier. Gene Wallin has a voice of great sweetness and power and personality of exceptional refinement and charm which goes straight to the heart of her audience, as was unmistakably evidenced yesterday.— Richmond (Va.) News Leader. Gene Wallin has a dramatic voice which she uses intelligently. She sings easily with clarity and tone and perfection of enunciation that win lasting admiration. She impressed her hearers wth her interpretive versatility.—Seattle, Times. Of John Sundsten, the critics, write: He played his solo numbers beautifully, afld was given an ovation after his masterly interpretation of the "Grieg Ballade in G Minor." —Oslo> Norway. Mr. Sundsten displayed mastery of the pianoforte in his groups, and his sure technique and authoritative interpretations won his audience to immediate approval. —Music and Musicians, D. S. Craig. J. Sundsten, pianist, produces a fine tone, his phrasing is clear-cut and his interpretations interesting. —Fargo, N. D., Forum. O : r WORK OUT CLASS DOES MUCH WORK IN ELECTRICAL CONSTRUTtON.
