The Weekly Messenger Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School £T Vol. XV. BELLINGHAM, WASH., FRIDAY, JULY 21, 1916 NO./£ PLAYGROUNDSPEGIAUST IY U Dr. Henry S. Curtis, of Olivet, Mich-, has been giving stirring talks thruout the week. He is a very entertaining speaker and was received with enthusiasm by the students. He helped Miss Nickerson with some of her classes in plays and games. If the plans of this specialist mature into practice in the State Normal School at Bellingham, there will be plays and games, folk dancing, story telling, general singing, walking, trips, auto-ing and horseback riding, swimming, week end camps and moving pictures for extra hours in summer school and thruout the regular year. In his address to the students on Tuesday Dr. Curtis said in part: "The playground movement throughout the world stands for organized play. People usually think at first that children do not care for this, but experience everywhere shows that they do. In Washington there was a playground about eighty feet square, which contained about fifty dollars worth of apparatus. We used to open this at the beginning of the season in charge of a very capable kindergart-ner. She had a daily attendance of 400 children. She went away on her vacation and we put a substitute in her place; we had an attendance of 200 children. When the substitute went away, we kept it open in charge of the janitor for a week or two, and we had an attednace of 15 to 25 children. The difference between 15 and 400 was purely a difference in organization. "The supervision of the playgrounds, is essential to securing the attendance of the children, as, without this supervision, the younger children never have a chance at the equipment; and parents, suspicious of the influences of such a place, are apt not to allow their children to attend, and there is nothing going on that makes attendance worth while. But the main question in regard to the playground is not that the children should come but that they should get something worth while when they do come, and for this, supervision is absolutely necessary. "The first thought of the playground promoters was that the purpose of the grounds was to keep the children off the streets; but they might quite as well have said that the purpose of the public school was to keep the children off the streets. Both the playgrounds and the schools serve this purpose, but we could hardly say that this is the object of either of them. The ideals of the playgrounds have become nearly as definite today as the ideals of the school, and the playground specialists believe that the objects which can be achieved through organized play are no less important than the objects attained through the school itself." The committee in charge of the Chautauqua are doing some good work making preliminary arrangements for the big event. E On Wednesday evening of this week at her home on High Street, Miss Ada Hogle was united in marriage to Dr. F. D. Abbott, prominent in the schools of Broooklyn. Miss Hogle has been head of the Art Department for foul-teen years in the Bellingham State Normal School. The wedding was a beautiful affair and witnessed by a few intimate friends. Dr. and Mrs. Abbott will go leisurely across the country, visiting Yellowstone Park en route. The best wishes of all students and teachers are extended to the departing friends. PRESIDENT IS HOST TO SENIOR CLASS At the president's home on Cedar Street, a reception was tendered to the members of the Senior Class and the summer school faculty, Wednesday between the hours of four and six o'clock. Dr. and Mrs. Deerwester, Professor and Mrs. Moodie, Miss Hogle and Miss Sperry assisted Dr. and Mr\. Nash in receiving the guests. During the evening an impromptu program was given. Mrs. Colby, Miss Berg-strom and Mr. Dan Hall gave attractive solos, while Miss Rodolf, Mr. Berg and Mr. Dahlquist gave clever readings. Following the program light refreshments were served. Last evening at the home of Mrs. Florence Fox Thatcher, there was given a pleasing musicale. This "get together" of Mrs. Thatcher's pupils proved to be one of the happy evenings of the close of the school. E E The Hawaiian quartette returned to Bellingham this week. They are Albert Hennes, Lytton Swartz, Waltei Fegley and Edwin Nattrass. The last three are graduete of the Normal School. Hennes will enter next fall as a Senior. We are glad to welcome the boys home after their year of teaching in Hawaii. SUMMER SCHOOL WILL f ON NEXT The work of the school year will close on Friday of next week. The week following steps will be taken to put the buildings in fine condition for the opening in the fall. Some few improvements will be made but there will be no such extensive changes undertaken as were the order last summer. * Mrs. Minnie Termaat, supervisor of the Grammar Grades, gave a delightful summary of the events connected with the Democratic nationtal convention. T At 3:30 next Sunday afternoon at the Auditorium, the Rev. Dr. Harrison will preach the sermon to the graduates and their friends. A large attendance is expected. Mrs. Daisy D. Nettleton, who was instructor in Expression at the Normal for a year during the absence of Miss Hays some years ago, is in the city from Tacoma where she conducts an expression studio. Mrs. Nettleton came up to attend the Hogle-Abbott wedding. TO Saturday was a rainy day, but in spite of the downpour, some three hundred student excursionists took the train for Glacier. The trips planned into the Baker region were as follows: Lookout Point seven miles. A won* derful view of Baker and the "Sisters." Nooksack Falls, seven miles. A good wagon road. The snout of Roosevelt Glacier, about ten miles from Glacier—too far for any but exceptional hikers to go in the available time. A fine view or Baker about four miles up this trail. Twin Falls, seven miles. Church Mountain, said to be five to seven miles; feels like twenty. A hard climb. Sky Line Divide, seven or eight miles. A fine view but a hard trip for one day. The students were advised to wear well-broken substantial shoes, wlta broad low heels, and were asked not to over-do in the various hikes. The excursion was under the supervision of Prof. Hulse, Miss Cosby Jackson, Smith Carlton and others appointed as special guides. The various trips indicated above were taken in spite of the rain, and a spirit oC good cheer was in evidence throughout the day. The conductor and members of the train crew showed every posiV-ble courtesy to the excursionists- Many of the residents of Glacier opened their homes, after building roaring' fires, and invited the students to go in and "dry out." The hotel proprietor showed a similar kindly spirit. On the way home the last coach was used as a drying room for late, arrivals. The conductor of the train paid his respects to the student party by saying that it was the finest company he had ever taken over the line. As one the students said after returning, "There wasn't a grouch in evidence." We heard of Prof. Bond's struggle with a giant trout which resulted in his being dragged into the stream, and also of a number of students who were compelled to wade in water up to their waists on one of the longer trips. Mr. Hintz went out in his automobile to pick up the stragglers and after a breakdown returned to Bellingham in the "wee small hours of the morning.'' Not more than six or seven members of the faculty attended the excursion. Students and faculty were grieved to learn of the death of Mr. J. M. Scarseth, whose daughter, Miss Scar-seth, and son Thos. E., are well known as students of the Normal.
