Wow, here's aa- interesting proposition—" Bryaa Hankins: "I'll say it is I" (ByJLORAINE SHARNBROICH) Welcomed by a host of Normal students, President Fisher, of the Bellingham State Normal School returned to the city last Monday after about a month's visit in the East. Upon his arrival in Bellingham, he was presented with a beautiful potted plant as a token of regard from the student body of the school. During his sojourn in the Eastern states, President Fisher attended several educational conferences, giving talks and papers at some of them. At the National Educational Association conference held at Washington, D. C, President Fisher spoke on "How a~ Normal Training School Faculty Views Method." While in the East, President Fisher also attended to; business matters of interest to the school. With a view to selecting additional faculty members for the slimmer" session of this year as well as a few to take the place of those who will be on vacation during the year, he interviewed many prospective applicants. Some he has already completed negotiations with while others are yet on a • tentative list. He declared that the Normal was in high regard in Educational circles because of the. possibility of "getting somewhere" offered in this- school to members of its faculty. In fact, it is placed among the first five schools on the preferred list for teachers, he said. The equitable climate of the Puget Sound region also' favored his plans of obtaining excellent teachers for the coming year, as most all teachers like to work where the climate is mild. Making a comparison of the Eastern school system and those of the West, President Fisher said that our school system was decidedly decentralized while those of the East were very centralized. He emphasized particularly that of Pennsylvania, formerly a model of decentralization was now so centralized that nothing could be done without consent of some higher authority. President Fisher pointed out that" this fact enables the Western schools to obtain a more progressive band of instructors because of the opportun- AMEBIC AN PIANIST THRILLS AUDIENCE Frederic Dixon, eminent American pianist, was presented in concert last evening by the Bellingham Normal School in the auditorium. Mr. Dixon's splendidly planned program was of greatest .interest to the audience. His selections showed to great advantage his splendid, technique as well as his fine tone and perfect rhythm. Mr. Dixon played several selections by American compos-ersf" whose work has been generally accepted. - An unusual feature of Mr. Dixon's program was his delightful manner of commenting on „his interpretation of the selections which he played. These comments showed his engaging personality and the audience ~ was seemingly charmed by it. This is Mr. Dixon's second coast-to- coast tour, and he arrived in town yesterday afternoon after playing in Portland the evening before. During his stop here last year, Mr. Dixon played before some of the younger children of the town, and they, as well as adults, seemed to enjoy his playing. . o— NEW SYSTEM USED BY WOMEN'S LEAGUE New Procedure Recommended by Fellowship Committee of the Women's League. MADE BY OF CONTROL Norman Btnxhette Re-elected •• •••'••.'•' '•'•"-"-}•,'•'. ' • - to Editorship of Messenger for Second Quarter. (Continued on Page Four) Upon the recommendation of the Fellowship Committee of the Women's League, a new procedure will be followed for the welcoming of new students for the spring quarter. Since most of the new students will come by way of trains, interurbans and boats, it is suggested that all former students returning make it a point-to look after new students, met en route. It is requested that every individual co-operate by taking the responsibility of speaking to new students, giving them information about the school, and making them feel at home. Upon reaching Bellingham, give them definite information about reaching the Normal School. If they haven't a room, inform them how to reach the Dean of Women's office,for a list of approved places. If it is too late at night to secure a room, refer them to either Edens Hall or the Y. W. C. A. Do you recall the day you arrived at Normal School ? Did anybody greet you? If so, weren't you delighted? If not, didn't you think it should have been done? The League is endeavoring to give a glad hand to every new student who comes into this school. This is your opportunity. The committee has delegated a group of girls who have been here'at least one quarter to look after the new girls after they arrive, particularly during the first week of school. These girls should AT., LAST, FOLKS! HERE IS THE-CAR THAT MR. MARQUIS HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT. WHO IS SHE, JOE?

The decisions were, made at the last meeting of the board, Monday evening. The new officers will assume their responsibilities the first week of next quarter. Norman Burchette has been an efficient editor during the past quarter, being responsible for many decided improvements in the campus paper. He has raised the standards of the Messenger, striving hard to make accuracy,efficiency and service the keynote of every edition. Because of his previous experience in newspaper and publicity work, Mr. Burchette is especially well-fitted for his responsibility. Bryan Hankins, who i s at present the secretary to the Board of Control, will succeed Zeno Katterle as business manager of the school paper. Mr. Hankins is assistant sports editor of the publication, and president of the freshman class. He is well known around school, having served on numerous committees in various activities. • Inez Clark has been vice-president of the Student Body for the past two quarters. She is a prominent, well-liked student, and will undoubtedly fulfill her duties competently. — 7 — — - O NOTED SOCIOLOGIST TO LECTURE HERE Whiting Williams, Laborer and Writer, Well Qualified to Discuss Social Problems. TO COME MARCH 30 Program Divided Into Three Parts; Special Numbers, and an Orchestra Program. Normal Students Victims of Two Desperate Robbers Nine young men, Max. Stewart, Verne Merritt, Arthur Adamson, Ralph Nilsen, Andy McCall, Dan Bieghle, Donald Olts, Ralph Johnson, and Dan Brasher, students of"" the Normal School, were held up and robbed of their valuables late Saturday night and early Sunday morning, between, the hour of 10:30 and 1:30 a, m., by two holdups, at the foot of the steps leading up to the home of Mrs. D. P. Day, better known as Day's Hall. All of the unfortunate youths except Arthur Adamson, room at the Hall. The boys were not all robbed at the same time. Arthur Adamson, Max Stewart, and Verne Merritt were coming home from a show down down and .were accosted at the top of the steps by a lone bandit. He frisked the scared young men but found nothing, so told them to beat it into the house and stay there. Dart Beighle, coming home a few minutes later was also chased up the steps by a robber, (supposed to have been -the same one. Ralph Johnson also had the experience of being held (up but something attracted the robber's attention and Johnson escaped; (Mr; Day, just off.iduty (from his night watchman's job, came home soon after but was not molested.. Ralph Nelsen, returning from the College Club dance, some ten or twelve pace's behind Mr. Day, was held up by two bandits. From all appearances one bandit had been hiding while the other had been robbing. Nelsen. took courage enough to run up the steps because Mr. Day was not far ahead but he did not have the courage to yell for help. He rushed into the house slamming the door in their faces, telling the other excited boys that he had been chased up the steps by some robbers. Andy McCall, coming home a few minutes later from the same dance, was also held up. He did not run, so the robbers took,what money and jewelry the frightened boy had and told him.to beat it. He ran into" the house, meeting Nelsen and told him of his robbery. Dan Brasher was hcld^up a few 'minutes later at the bottom,of the step and robbed.

Page;Four); Whiting Williams, who is receiving international recognition as an investigator, of labor conditions, will speak in a special assembly, Monday afternoon, March 29, at 2 o'clock, on '•'Mainsprings of Men; What My Pick Turned Up About People." Because he was determined to discover what prompts the common laborer to behave as he does, Mr. Williams left his position as vice-president of a well-known steel corporation to become an unskilled worker in the mines and factories of this country. For a period of nearly four years he has been a laboring man, hunting jobs, working at them, and at all times noting the ideals and opinions of the worker. "He returned from Europe only a few months ago, where he worked as a miner in the Ruhr basin. His syndicated articles following his trip to Germany and Italy were exceedingly interesting, and were published by one of the largest newspaper syndicates in America. - He is particularly well qualified -to discuss the interesting facts he has discovered. He received his A. B. degree from Oberlin in 1899, and his A. M. degree from the same college in 1909. He attended the University of—Berlin in 1899 and 190(V and the University. of Chicago in 1900 and J901. From 1904 to 1912 he was assistant to the president of Oberlin College; from 1912 to 1917 he was executive secretary of the Cleveland Welfare Federation. He is a member' of -the Academy of Political and Social Sciences, the National Municipal League, and the National Conference of Social Workers. The country is tremendously interested in the work he is. doing, as is evidenced by the demands: for lecture engagements, and the widespread interest. i^(. h i s " books and magazine writings; /; His (series ^n Colliers/ bri ^What's} on;" the Work-ferte Mind ?'? was- well received byfthe publicinnd;^^tfdely;:^c^m6hdedV|-:"(;(// ,' t h e Whitman All-College Glee Club will appear in the Normal auditorium Tuesday evening, March 30.

PLEASING PROGRAM IN FINAL ASSEMBLY Singing by Double Quartet and Spring Program by the Training School Featured, Friday evening, April 2, has, been chosen for the Bellingham Elks' band concert that is to be given in the Normal auditorium. This will be the first entertainment of the sort to be presented this season by this well-known group.. of musicians. Admission for students will be twenty-five cents. The Elks' band is composed of forty- two members of the Elks lodge, and is supported and guided by the entire lodge in this city. Each musician has had extensive musical training, thereby meriting recognition as an artist on his own particular instrument. For the past five years the band has been sent to the state convention of the Elks' lodge, to appear in concerts and to lead'processions. After winning honors at the state conventions, these musicians made an excellent showing at the Elks' national convention in Portland, Oregon, last June, where. they were engaged to play for five successive days. Their manager is now contemplating a possible engagement in Chicago next July, besides various others the band fills annually. These include the trip to Victoria for Queen's Day, June 24th, and Vancouver celebrations. The members of the Elks band have constantly supported civic movements, always generously offering their services.-.The Normal School functions receive their enthusiastic praise and aid,-as was shown last Homecoming Day when this band led the Normal serpentine before the big footbalPgame. Director Joseph Poole is well fitted for this position, because of extensive foreign experience. He was connected with orchestras in London for six years, besides four years spent overseas m the government, service during the w^r. .The program .that'-'(mil((be.-''offered for the recital will consist of 'various standard and classical selections, interspersed (with; folk -spngsV (V j(;;^ Today's assembly, the closing one of the quarter, enjoyed in addition to several selections by the double quartet and the granting of diplomas to.graduating students by President Fisher, a Spring program, prepared by the fifth grade.

But oh, what Ave can do after those few grades are satisfactorily .explained and accepted. With the burden lifted the round of dates we'll accept before the return to. school. Then— we'll come back to the familiar halls and places, studies and faces, and above all, rest from the strenuous vacation.

Wow, here's aa- interesting proposition—" Bryaa Hankins: "I'll say it is I" (ByJLORAINE SHARNBROICH) Welcomed by a host of Normal students, President Fisher, of the Bellingham State Normal School returned to the city last Monday after about a month's visit in the East. Upon his arrival in Bellingham, he was presented with a beautiful potted plant as a token of regard from the student body of the school. During his sojourn in the Eastern states, President Fisher attended several educational conferences, giving talks and papers at some of them. At the National Educational Association conference held at Washington, D. C, President Fisher spoke on "How a~ Normal Training School Faculty Views Method." While in the East, President Fisher also attended to; business matters of interest to the school. With a view to selecting additional faculty members for the slimmer" session of this year as well as a few to take the place of those who will be on vacation during the year, he interviewed many prospective applicants. Some he has already completed negotiations with while others are yet on a • tentative list. He declared that the Normal was in high regard in Educational circles because of the. possibility of "getting somewhere" offered in this- school to members of its faculty. In fact, it is placed among the first five schools on the preferred list for teachers, he said. The equitable climate of the Puget Sound region also' favored his plans of obtaining excellent teachers for the coming year, as most all teachers like to work where the climate is mild. Making a comparison of the Eastern school system and those of the West, President Fisher said that our school system was decidedly decentralized while those of the East were very centralized. He emphasized particularly that of Pennsylvania, formerly a model of decentralization was now so centralized that nothing could be done without consent of some higher authority. President Fisher pointed out that" this fact enables the Western schools to obtain a more progressive band of instructors because of the opportun- AMEBIC AN PIANIST THRILLS AUDIENCE Frederic Dixon, eminent American pianist, was presented in concert last evening by the Bellingham Normal School in the auditorium. Mr. Dixon's splendidly planned program was of greatest .interest to the audience. His selections showed to great advantage his splendid, technique as well as his fine tone and perfect rhythm. Mr. Dixon played several selections by American compos-ersf" whose work has been generally accepted. - An unusual feature of Mr. Dixon's program was his delightful manner of commenting on „his interpretation of the selections which he played. These comments showed his engaging personality and the audience ~ was seemingly charmed by it. This is Mr. Dixon's second coast-to- coast tour, and he arrived in town yesterday afternoon after playing in Portland the evening before. During his stop here last year, Mr. Dixon played before some of the younger children of the town, and they, as well as adults, seemed to enjoy his playing. . o— NEW SYSTEM USED BY WOMEN'S LEAGUE New Procedure Recommended by Fellowship Committee of the Women's League.

(Continued on Page Four) Upon the recommendation of the Fellowship Committee of the Women's League, a new procedure will be followed for the welcoming of new students for the spring quarter. Since most of the new students will come by way of trains, interurbans and boats, it is suggested that all former students returning make it a point-to look after new students, met en route. It is requested that every individual co-operate by taking the responsibility of speaking to new students, giving them information about the school, and making them feel at home. Upon reaching Bellingham, give them definite information about reaching the Normal School. If they haven't a room, inform them how to reach the Dean of Women's office,for a list of approved places. If it is too late at night to secure a room, refer them to either Edens Hall or the Y. W. C. A. Do you recall the day you arrived at Normal School ? Did anybody greet you? If so, weren't you delighted? If not, didn't you think it should have been done? The League is endeavoring to give a glad hand to every new student who comes into this school. This is your opportunity. The committee has delegated a group of girls who have been here'at least one quarter to look after the new girls after they arrive, particularly during the first week of school.

The decisions were, made at the last meeting of the board, Monday evening. The new officers will assume their responsibilities the first week of next quarter. Norman Burchette has been an efficient editor during the past quarter, being responsible for many decided improvements in the campus paper. He has raised the standards of the Messenger, striving hard to make accuracy,efficiency and service the keynote of every edition. Because of his previous experience in newspaper and publicity work, Mr. Burchette is especially well-fitted for his responsibility. Bryan Hankins, who i s at present the secretary to the Board of Control, will succeed Zeno Katterle as business manager of the school paper. Mr. Hankins is assistant sports editor of the publication, and president of the freshman class. He is well known around school, having served on numerous committees in various activities. • Inez Clark has been vice-president of the Student Body for the past two quarters. She is a prominent, well-liked student, and will undoubtedly fulfill her duties competently. — 7 — — - O NOTED SOCIOLOGIST TO LECTURE HERE Whiting Williams, Laborer and Writer, Well Qualified to Discuss Social Problems.

Arthur Adamson, Max Stewart, and Verne Merritt were coming home from a show down down and .were accosted at the top of the steps by a lone bandit. He frisked the scared young men but found nothing, so told them to beat it into the house and stay there. Dart Beighle, coming home a few minutes later was also chased up the steps by a robber, (supposed to have been -the same one. Ralph Johnson also had the experience of being held (up but something attracted the robber's attention and Johnson escaped; (Mr; Day, just off.iduty (from his night watchman's job, came home soon after but was not molested.. Ralph Nelsen, returning from the College Club dance, some ten or twelve pace's behind Mr. Day, was held up by two bandits. From all appearances one bandit had been hiding while the other had been robbing. Nelsen. took courage enough to run up the steps because Mr. Day was not far ahead but he did not have the courage to yell for help. He rushed into the house slamming the door in their faces, telling the other excited boys that he had been chased up the steps by some robbers. Andy McCall, coming home a few minutes later from the same dance, was also held up. He did not run, so the robbers took,what money and jewelry the frightened boy had and told him.to beat it. He ran into" the house, meeting Nelsen and told him of his robbery. Dan Brasher was hcld^up a few 'minutes later at the bottom,of the step and robbed.

Because he was determined to discover what prompts the common laborer to behave as he does, Mr. Williams left his position as vice-president of a well-known steel corporation to become an unskilled worker in the mines and factories of this country. For a period of nearly four years he has been a laboring man, hunting jobs, working at them, and at all times noting the ideals and opinions of the worker. "He returned from Europe only a few months ago, where he worked as a miner in the Ruhr basin. His syndicated articles following his trip to Germany and Italy were exceedingly interesting, and were published by one of the largest newspaper syndicates in America. - He is particularly well qualified -to discuss the interesting facts he has discovered. He received his A. B. degree from Oberlin in 1899, and his A. M. degree from the same college in 1909. He attended the University of—Berlin in 1899 and 190(V and the University. of Chicago in 1900 and J901. From 1904 to 1912 he was assistant to the president of Oberlin College; from 1912 to 1917 he was executive secretary of the Cleveland Welfare Federation. He is a member' of -the Academy of Political and Social Sciences, the National Municipal League, and the National Conference of Social Workers.

PLEASING PROGRAM IN FINAL ASSEMBLY Singing by Double Quartet and Spring Program by the Training School Featured, Friday evening, April 2, has, been chosen for the Bellingham Elks' band concert that is to be given in the Normal auditorium. This will be the first entertainment of the sort to be presented this season by this well-known group.. of musicians. Admission for students will be twenty-five cents. The Elks' band is composed of forty- two members of the Elks lodge, and is supported and guided by the entire lodge in this city. Each musician has had extensive musical training, thereby meriting recognition as an artist on his own particular instrument. For the past five years the band has been sent to the state convention of the Elks' lodge, to appear in concerts and to lead'processions. After winning honors at the state conventions, these musicians made an excellent showing at the Elks' national convention in Portland, Oregon, last June, where. they were engaged to play for five successive days. Their manager is now contemplating a possible engagement in Chicago next July, besides various others the band fills annually. These include the trip to Victoria for Queen's Day, June 24th, and Vancouver celebrations. The members of the Elks band have constantly supported civic movements, always generously offering their services.-.The Normal School functions receive their enthusiastic praise and aid,-as was shown last Homecoming Day when this band led the Normal serpentine before the big footbalPgame.

But oh, what Ave can do after those few grades are satisfactorily .explained and accepted. With the burden lifted the round of dates we'll accept before the return to. school. Then— we'll come back to the familiar halls and places, studies and faces, and above all, rest from the strenuous vacation.
