UP EARLY TOMORROW e i f MT. BAKER V CLIMB NEXT v VOL. XXVIII—NO. 6 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, July 13, 1928 ALL-SCHOOL EXCURSION TOMORROW RESULTS OF SURVEY SHOW WIDE OF STUDENT Methods Courses Predominate in Answers to Questions; Technique, Observation Rank Next. ANSWERS HAVE VALUE Completed Survey Will Provide Suggestions as to Course and Figures to Show Extent of Need Answer to the questionnaires on courses needed most by teachers during the summer session which were given out in assembly last Friday,, cover a wide range and offer many valuable suggestions Results so far tabulated show, that from a group of two hundred fifty answers, methods courses, technique, observation courses, and cultural courses, respectively, seem to be in greatest demand. Next in rank, desires have been expressed for remedial work, advanced music, present day current events, course in classroom problems, and administration and supervision for principals and supervisors. Many other courses have been suggested but not with the same degree of correlation as those which have been mentioned. Method Courses Desired That method courses seem to be felt as the greatest" need by returned students is evident by the fact that approximately one-third of the papers returned expressed such a wish. Tliis, of course, cannot be taken to mean that one-third of the students prefer to take more methods during the- summer session than cultural courses because the question as stated asks what course they feel they most need. Perhaps if the methods course was given with five hours credit the student would have opportunity to take cultural courses to round out the program. * This illustration may be taken to apply to all choices made since the choice was to be made for one course only and that to fill the* greatest need. As to .the type of methods courses, suggestions for courses in grammar, history and geography as actually taught in the classroom seem to be predominant. Nearly every subject in the grade school curriculum Avas represented in the desire for methods courses. Many students did not express a desire for any particular methods course but listed their desires as for a genera] methods course. Some of the descriptions of courses are given as follows: "More material in modern or new methods of presentation of grade school subjects, especially co-ordination of work through problems or projects"; "A course which would acquaint a person with the actual methods of procedure in teaching different types of lessons*'; "How to make Geography and History more interesting and to eonnect.it with present needs of the pupils"; "A course in grammar as it should be'taught in the upper grades including actual lessons with students as participants." Suggestions on Observation Regarding observation and technique the following answers have been received aniong many others: "Observation of instructors conducting classes in all the-common branches"; "A course in practical school room problems with opportunity of discussion with other, teachers their methods of solving**; "Some" definite plans ' and methods of, teaching through observation of classes". Observation seems to "be desired by many students in some form or other, thus providing as suggested", opportunities to see plans actually in use and glean from them the ideas desired. • • • . ., A wide range of desires is evident from the return and it is impossible to take an expression from each field.

Prospective Mountaineers Will Leave Campus Early Next Friday Morning for Kulshan Cabin; Record- Breaking Faculty-Student Group Will Make Trip. MERCHANT OF VENICE WANTS YOUR OPINION Vote, students! "The Merchant of Venice", collectively speaking, is in a quandry. Will you help him decide ? Shylock in a derby, baggy trousers, and an excess of Hebrew gestures, or Shylock in the old-fashioned Jewish gaberdine? Would you smile at Portia appearing in the latest cut Hart Shaffner & Marx garment in the courtroom scene, or do you prefer her in a flowing robe, (borrowed from tlie local Methodist choir) and long white wig of the good old days? in short, do you see Shakespeare in the modern, or Shakespeare in traditional romantic'? Today is your chance to "tell the world" what you think of it. Shall we be the first school in America to present Shakespeare in modern costuming, or shall we .follow the custom of centuries in our manner of dress ? Representatives of School Will Attend Meetings The Northwest session of the Institute of International Relations will be held in Seattle at the University of Washington the week of July 22 to 27, 1028 inclusive. The institute has for its purpose the serious study of problems involved in international relations in the belief that an understanding of such problems is the greatest single need of the present decade. (Continued on Page Two) Work Arranged in Three Divisions The work of the institute is divided into (J.) evening lectures, (2) afternoon conferences, (;i) morning round tables. The special evening lectures will be open to the public without charge and will be held each evening at the University Temple adjoining the campus.of the University. Sunday to Friday, inclusive. Among the best known lecturers are: Arnold Bennett Hall, president of the University of Oregon, whol will speak on "Social Control and World Peace; also Ray Lyman Wilbur, president of Stanford University; Willis J. Abbott, editor of the Chj;stian Science Monitor: Silas Strawn, president of the American Bar Association. * Admiral W. .V.;.'-Pratt, of the U. S. Navv.will A record-breaeking party of almost seventy-five faculty members and students is expected to make the trip to Kulshan Cabin and the ascent of Mount Baker next week when the Normal stages its annual climb to the top of "Kulshan,'' the monarch of the Cascades. Mr. Bond, Mr. Arntzen, and Miss George, faculty members who will have charge of the trip, are making preparations to have a large number of people taken care of when the busses leave the school campus at 5 o'clock Friday morning. The entire trip, will take three days, the first day to be spent in reaching the cabin, which will be the base of operations, the second in climbing the mountain itself, and the third, Sunday, in returning to Bellingham. After a- two-hour trip to Glacier by bus, the party will leave civilization early Friday morning for its destination, Kulshan Cabin. A stiff ten-mile hike, then the cabin erected two years ago by the Mount Bake]' Club and Bellingham Normal, will be reached. The cabin is situated (Continued oi Page Four") (Continued on Page Four) Losey, Shakespearean Reader of Note, Will Come Here Next Week Dr. Frederick E. Losey, famous as an authority on Shakespeare and as a reader of Shakespearian plays, will appear at the Normal Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of next week. Each evening he will discuss one of the. most famous of the-plays of Shakespeare and then read it, and he will appear in assembly Tuesday. Whether he will lecture or read a play at that time is not known. Dr. Losey appeared here last summer and won much praise for his presentation of Macbeth, King Lear, and Julius Caesar. His presentation of -Julius Caesar and particularly his interpretation of the character of Brutus was especially praised. Although the full program is not yet announced, Hamlet Avill be a-mong the plays read. Dr. Losey is making a tour of the coast and comes here from Corvallis, Oregon. Dr. Charles U. Clark who has but recently returnee* "roni a tour of Europe, will be the speaker in next Friday's assembly. He is a well-known lecturer and writer on travel subjects, and i s a n authority oh European conditions. Dr. Clark is a lecturer who has command of the anecdote and human interest story and uses them throughout'-his books and his lectures. His latest book, '•"Bessarabia", has had a wide sale and has ben widely commended for both interest and the insight into the lives of the people of the peart, of Russia 'of which it treats. Herbert Ruckmick, member of the faculty in the Industrial Arts department, has been named b v President C. II. Fisher to take the place of E. J. Arntzen as faculty appointed member of the Board of Control. The appointment takes effect at the beginning of the fall quarter. At that time Mr. Arntzen, the incumbent, will leave on a vacation. The appointment was announced at the weekly meeting of the Board of Control, which occurred Wednesday morning. At the same time apportionment of funds discussed at a former meeting was ratified. This apportionment calls for a division of each $6 stu-: dent activities ticket fee as follows: Athletics, $2; lectures and entertainment, $2.75; Viking, 50c; social life, 75c. Approximately $6,000 will be available for the various purposes. That no one will be either appointed or • elected to take the place of Stanley Thompson on the Board of Control when he leaves school at the end of the first term, was the opinion of the Board of Control. Thompson, elected for a two-quarter term at the beginning of the spring quarter, has served one and one-half quarters of his term, but will not be in school during the second term of the quarter. Because the Board will hold but four meetings during that time, it is deemed best to leave the position vacant. At the end of the summer quarter two officers ou'-the Board of Control will be vacant, those being Thompson's place and the place of Mr E. A. Bond, faculty advisor, whose term expires at the end of the fall quarter, but who will leave school on a leave of absence at the end of the present quarter. No other vacancies will occur until the end of the fall quarter when a four-quarter position will bo open as Guy Spring-steel's term cxpii-es. The secretary-, ship of the Board will expire at the end of the summer quarter, this being a one-quarter position, but the office is filled by election on the part of the Board members. Roy Arnett, incumbent, stated that he would again be a candidate for the job. Concerning the trip to Victoria tomorrow, the Board took no action except to review the ticket sales up to Wednesday • morning and announce that if the quota was not filled by Thursday the trip would be opened to the general public. The committee chairman, Calvin Nichols and Frank Mitchell, were appointed earlier in the week by the executive committee of the excursion. Victoria Excursion Leaves Dock At 7 A.M., Returning 10 P.M. Steamer Indianapolis, with Six Hundred Students on Board, to Sail on All Day Trip as Result of Three Weeks Planning for an All School Outing. Play Rehearsal Proves No Place for the Bashful (By J. P. W.) "Where's the place?" "There! Where he's sposed to kiss her!" Hurried moments in the middle of a rehearsal of "The Merchant of Venice", the Drama Club's quarterly production, to be presented August 8 and 9 in the Normal auditorium. "Where's.he sposed to kiss her!" Booming tones from Director V. H. Hoppc. "He's not-going to!" "Not going to kiss her?" A rumble from the back row of unimportant servants, suitors and what-not, Avho are sitting down until the place where they "come in." "Not going to kiss her?" unrestrained joy from the leading man, Bassanio, played by Ben Howard, equal joy from Camanna Tucker, who plays Portia. "Just omit it," explains Mr. Hop-pe, and rehearsal is resumed, although from time the amateur actors and actresses stutter when they meet this line. The notes say to kiss her, and its rather hard to let it slide past. The burning question again! What if it's put on in modern dress. What then, Mr. Hoppe? Not a kiss? Not one, after all that courtship. Shakespeare knew his onions. Shakespeare wrote immortal drama. Shakespeare put the kiss in!. It used to be that the casket scene in the ••'Merchant of- Venice" was always played in great earnestness. (Bear up, ignoramuses, the caskets are not over a foot square and are merely a method of choosing a husband by allowing a suitor to choose a casket. This is not a funereal production). But the Drama Club, delving into the background of each character's life, will have none of that. Humor, contagious and irrepressible, is creeping out at every point, and the three suitors, as well as all of the minor characters, promise to make the quarterly play full of uood laughs. The Committee in charge of the boat trip urge students to bring ukes, cameras and cards if they are interested* in playing on the return trip, since card tables will be available. Calendar FRIDAY, July 13— 4:00 P. M., Recreation Hour, big gym. S:30 P. M., Outside Girls Informal, Edens Hall. SATURDAY, July. 14— 7:00 A. 3VL, "Str. Indianapolis" leaves Citizen's Dock for Victoria, returns at 10:00 P. M. TUESDAY, July 17— 11:00 A. M., Frederick W. Losey in assembly. WEDNESDAY, July IS— First term ends. THURSDAY, July 19— Second term begins. FRIDAY,'.July 20— 5:00 A. M. Stage leaves campus with Mount Baker Party. 11:00 A. M. Dr. Upson Clark, in assembly. ' POSTER CONTEST IS NEW ADD FEATURE An all-school poster contest with three prizes is being sponsored by the advertising manage ment of the Drama Club's summer production, "The Merchant of Venice." The contest opened yesterday and will close July 26. Any person in school is eligible to enter any number of posters, which may be in. black and white or any combination of colors and must not be less than 16 inches wide by 22 inches in length. No posters used as class projects will be accepted. Those who plan to enter the contest are urged to consider the following points: fitness of purpose, i. e. does all the material on the poster pertain to the subject to be advertised; placing of lettering, is the legend a part of the poster or only an addition; mass effects; contrast;, and -simplicity. ..The last named is to be especially considered. Judges for the event have not yet been chosen but will be announced in time for publication in next week's Viking. The Art Department has offered a large framed Japanese print for one-of the prizes. Whether or not it "will be used as the first prize, and what the other prizes will be has not yet been decided as-cording to Benriie Mitchell, the business manager; . When the student body sails Saturday morning for Victoria, one of the most comprehensive undertakings of the students' association here will have materialized. The Tacoma-Seattle steamer Indianapolis will leave from the Citizens clock, near the Great Northern depot, at 7 a. m. The trip to Victoria will be completed by 10 a. m., and from that hour until about 5 p. m., the time will be open for visiting the city and seeing the many sights there. Ten o'clock in the evening has been named as the hour for the return from the trip. Originally planned as having a stop-off at Olga, Orcas Island, for an evening meal, it was found that the docking facilities at that place are insufficient for accomodating a ship the size of the Indianapolis, and lunch will be served in Victoria, with the trip home starting immediately after. Program No program has been arranged for the students while they are in Victoria. Rather the entire program, as planned for by Calvin Nichols, chairman of the entertainment committee, will be given on shipboard. A five-piece orchestra, the Melody Boys of Anacortes, will be on board to furnish musical entertainment during the trip. The return will be featured with three hours of dance music. Home talent, in the form of both musical and specialty numbers, has also been arranged for. On this matter, however, a silence is. maintained by those in charge, the plan being to have most of this part of the program in the form of surprise numbers. It has been rumored, however, that a "•blues' singer will be among the performers. Deck games on the voyage to Victoria, and dancing and bridge on the return, are among the plans of the committe for the entertainment of the excursionists. According to Nichols, the games will be in the form of horseshoes and ring tennis, and.'any others which groups care to -organize. The card games will be organized on the return on the lower deck for those who do not care to dance. After the sale Tuesday noon, the number of tickets sold amounted to some 3S0, with the sale of Wednesday and Thursday expected to bring the number up to the necessary 600, which will make the trip, self-supporting. Big Trip The trip is one of the most comprehensive endeavors attempted by the Student's Association for some time. A guarantee of $1200 was necessary to obtain a ship of sufficient size, to carry the number of students who would make the trip. The fact that the guarantee was so high made it necessary for the group to comprise more than one-half: of the entire enrollment. Suggested first by the Board of Control in regular session three weks ago the matter rapidly gained favor, and upon a show of enthusiasm in an assembly last week, the ship was chartered and the committees appointed. The trip supplements all the regular hiking parties and is in the nature of added and special recreation. Nina Gennell, a Bellingham graduate, who has been teaching in China, has just completed a course at the University of Washington and pian's to return, to China this fail tn establish a Normal School for Chinese girls. • ,•'•.• •:;..:;•. i MM

The appointment was announced at the weekly meeting of the Board of Control, which occurred Wednesday morning. At the same time apportionment of funds discussed at a former meeting was ratified. This apportionment calls for a division of each $6 stu-: dent activities ticket fee as follows: Athletics, $2; lectures and entertainment, $2.75; Viking, 50c; social life, 75c. Approximately $6,000 will be available for the various purposes.

The committee chairman, Calvin Nichols and Frank Mitchell, were appointed earlier in the week by the executive committee of the excursion. Victoria Excursion Leaves Dock At 7 A.M., Returning 10 P.M. Steamer Indianapolis, with Six Hundred Students on Board, to Sail on All Day Trip as Result of Three Weeks Planning for an All School Outing. Play Rehearsal Proves No Place for the Bashful (By J. P. W.) "Where's the place?" "There! Where he's sposed to kiss her!" Hurried moments in the middle of a rehearsal of "The Merchant of Venice", the Drama Club's quarterly production, to be presented August 8 and 9 in the Normal auditorium. "Where's.he sposed to kiss her!" Booming tones from Director V. H. Hoppc. "He's not-going to!" "Not going to kiss her?" A rumble from the back row of unimportant servants, suitors and what-not, Avho are sitting down until the place where they "come in." "Not going to kiss her?" unrestrained joy from the leading man, Bassanio, played by Ben Howard, equal joy from Camanna Tucker, who plays Portia. "Just omit it," explains Mr. Hop-pe, and rehearsal is resumed, although from time the amateur actors and actresses stutter when they meet this line. The notes say to kiss her, and its rather hard to let it slide past. The burning question again! What if it's put on in modern dress. What then, Mr. Hoppe? Not a kiss? Not one, after all that courtship. Shakespeare knew his onions. Shakespeare wrote immortal drama. Shakespeare put the kiss in!. It used to be that the casket scene in the ••'Merchant of- Venice" was always played in great earnestness. (Bear up, ignoramuses, the caskets are not over a foot square and are merely a method of choosing a husband by allowing a suitor to choose a casket. This is not a funereal production). But the Drama Club, delving into the background of each character's life, will have none of that. Humor, contagious and irrepressible, is creeping out at every point, and the three suitors, as well as all of the minor characters, promise to make the quarterly play full of uood laughs. The Committee in charge of the boat trip urge students to bring ukes, cameras and cards if they are interested* in playing on the return trip, since card tables will be available.

' POSTER CONTEST IS NEW ADD FEATURE An all-school poster contest with three prizes is being sponsored by the advertising manage ment of the Drama Club's summer production, "The Merchant of Venice." The contest opened yesterday and will close July 26. Any person in school is eligible to enter any number of posters, which may be in. black and white or any combination of colors and must not be less than 16 inches wide by 22 inches in length. No posters used as class projects will be accepted. Those who plan to enter the contest are urged to consider the following points: fitness of purpose, i. e. does all the material on the poster pertain to the subject to be advertised; placing of lettering, is the legend a part of the poster or only an addition; mass effects; contrast;, and -simplicity. ..The last named is to be especially considered. Judges for the event have not yet been chosen but will be announced in time for publication in next week's Viking. The Art Department has offered a large framed Japanese print for one-of the prizes. Whether or not it "will be used as the first prize, and what the other prizes will be has not yet been decided as-cording to Benriie Mitchell, the business manager; . When the student body sails Saturday morning for Victoria, one of the most comprehensive undertakings of the students' association here will have materialized. The Tacoma-Seattle steamer Indianapolis will leave from the Citizens clock, near the Great Northern depot, at 7 a. m. The trip to Victoria will be completed by 10 a. m., and from that hour until about 5 p. m., the time will be open for visiting the city and seeing the many sights there. Ten o'clock in the evening has been named as the hour for the return from the trip. Originally planned as having a stop-off at Olga, Orcas Island, for an evening meal, it was found that the docking facilities at that place are insufficient for accomodating a ship the size of the Indianapolis, and lunch will be served in Victoria, with the trip home starting immediately after. Program No program has been arranged for the students while they are in Victoria. Rather the entire program, as planned for by Calvin Nichols, chairman of the entertainment committee, will be given on shipboard. A five-piece orchestra, the Melody Boys of Anacortes, will be on board to furnish musical entertainment during the trip. The return will be featured with three hours of dance music. Home talent, in the form of both musical and specialty numbers, has also been arranged for. On this matter, however, a silence is. maintained by those in charge, the plan being to have most of this part of the program in the form of surprise numbers. It has been rumored, however, that a "•blues' singer will be among the performers. Deck games on the voyage to Victoria, and dancing and bridge on the return, are among the plans of the committe for the entertainment of the excursionists. According to Nichols, the games will be in the form of horseshoes and ring tennis, and.'any others which groups care to -organize. The card games will be organized on the return on the lower deck for those who do not care to dance. After the sale Tuesday noon, the number of tickets sold amounted to some 3S0, with the sale of Wednesday and Thursday expected to bring the number up to the necessary 600, which will make the trip, self-supporting. Big Trip The trip is one of the most comprehensive endeavors attempted by the Student's Association for some time. A guarantee of $1200 was necessary to obtain a ship of sufficient size, to carry the number of students who would make the trip. The fact that the guarantee was so high made it necessary for the group to comprise more than one-half: of the entire enrollment. Suggested first by the Board of Control in regular session three weks ago the matter rapidly gained favor, and upon a show of enthusiasm in an assembly last week, the ship was chartered and the committees appointed. The trip supplements all the regular hiking parties and is in the nature of added and special recreation. Nina Gennell, a Bellingham graduate, who has been teaching in China, has just completed a course at the University of Washington and pian's to return, to China this fail tn establish a Normal School for Chinese girls. • ,•'•.• •:;..:;•. i MM |
