The Weekly Messenger VOL. XVIII. Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School BELLINGHAM, WASH., SATURDAY, JANUARY 11, 1919 NO. 14. . EDSON TELLS OF LIFE AT S. A. T. C. In response to the requests of members of the Messenger staff the following article is written with a •view of giving an idea of life in the 8. A. T. C. from which several of the boys have recently returned to Normal: If you should ask one of the fellows wearing ibuttons marked " S. A. T. C." what those letters stood for, he would probably say " Stick around the, campus" or " Stay around till Christmas." He might, however, mention the fact that in higher society it was known as the Students' Army Training Corps, and that it was formed for the purpose of preparing and selecting men for officers' training camps. He would probably relate how his experience there had involved much hardship and suffering, that 'he had oeen afflicted with influenza, war mathematics, and lice pudding with prunes in it, that he had been shot in the arm three times by way of typhoid inoculation, and that his fortitude had even been taxed to the extent of having to face hominy for breakfast every now and then. He probably took topography, military law, war aims, French and hygiene or was at least dangerously exposed to them. A person could take most anything he wanted down there, at least that was the attitude many of the fellows took toward each others wearing apparel along at the last. Truly the camp did not engage itself in any active hostilities other than that of redress for an outrage committed by certain members of a company of mariners on the campus, the outrage of tipping a man out of bed in each of our barracks one night. On the following night the •camp retired as usual, apparently, except for the fact that every man was in bed with his clothes on, and when the officer of the day passed around everyone was sound asleep. But as soon as he had gone, the camp sallied forth in the dark to raid the marines. As it happened the latter gentlemen were fully prepared and had the doors of the barracks well barricaded with beds and other available encumberance. But the besiegers were not to be baffled, and soon planks, stones, sticks and water were flying through the windows of the marines. At least three hoses were playing on the defenders and their bedding and other properly. It was their first water experience. The captain soon appeared on the scene, however, and dispersed the mob. (Continued on page 2.) I On Saturday, January '8, will come the next number on our lecture course, an evening full of music and entertainment by the Boston Opera Co. Students' attention is called to the folder upon the bulletin board. Within the next few days additional advertising matter will probably be received by Mr. Phillipi. The company consists of Mr. Al-lesandro Albenini, Miss Louisa Stall-ings, Miss Esther Schultz, Mr. Anthony Guarino and Miss Marion Carley, pianiste. These artists received a grand ovation in Denver; more than 7000 tickets were sold. They are considered as even of a higher class than the Montaga Light Opera Co., which was with us last year, or the Kellogg- Haines Co., or the International Operatic Co., or, in fact, any company we have enjoyed for several years past. No one can afford to miss this splendid opportunity. BOYS WHO HAVE WORN THE COLORS Below is a list of the boys who have been in the service of Uncle Sam and who are this quarter enrolled as students of this institution: Vernon Broadbent from S. A. T. C. Kenneth Selby from S. A. T. C. William Bdson from S. A. T. C. Thomas Quinn from S. A. T. C. James E. Barnett from the army of S. A. T. C. Chas. M. Countryman from naval training station of Seattle. Harold Marshall from naval unit of Seattle. Walter Sherman from S. A. T. C. Sergt. W. Beardsley from Fortress Monroe, Virginia. Ed F. Wolter from infantry division of Pullman. Reuben Aim from the marine officers' training camp. Lawrence Keplinger from S. A. T. C. Sergt. Beardsley wears three silver bars which mean eighteen months of home service, and a silver star which is indicative of voluntary enlistment. James Barnett wears the musician's insignia. Ed Wolter aided in the hospital during the influenza epidemic. TO L Mr. Glenn Hughes, who left the Normal faculty last April to enter the service of the government during the period of the war, will return to take up his duties at the Normal on January 14. Since leaving the Normal Mr. Hughes has been with the 32nd service division of radio electricians at College Station, Texas. He had completed his course and was ready to go overseas when the influenza epidemic broke out at College Station and he was placed in quarantine. Since his release from the service just before Christmas, Mr. Hughes has been with his people at Long Beach, California. GO TO EVERETT The Everett Cadets under the supervision of Miss Drake are: Clara Borggard, Marie Castator, Mae Howard, Helen Painton, Gertrude Quam, Florence Rice, Hazel Schaffner, Jessie Sims. The following are teaching in Bell-ingham: Roeder School. Marion Andrews, Blanche Baylor, Avis Dodge, Catherine Hawley, Freida Johnson, Thelma Koehler. Columbia School. Vera Funnell, Mrs. Effie Houston, Mrs. Jennie Gordon, Beulah Nelson. Lowell School. Elizabeth Fiedler, Lila Mooney, Edith Lifvendahl, Leona Parlette. Franklin School. Hazel Beach, Sophia Hefty, Anna Finstrom. Following students are teaching in the nearby rural districts: North Bellingham. Grace Hardin, Leo Breuer, Vivian Bettanini, Winnie Jordan, Ethel Jahn, Marie Noe. Laurel. Esther Thomas,. Florence Dinkle, Ruth Turkington, Leta M. Leod. Elbonita. Evangeline Ward, Lois Johns. Miss Coles has charge of the teachers at the Geneva school. They are Myrtle Goodrich, Hazel Martin, Phroso Klinker, Bertha Smith, Dora Squires. The Juniors are busy trying to decide on their play which is to be giv- I en this quarter. After a speedy recovery from influenza, we find John Settles back at his class work again. N. E. A. TO MEET IN The National Education Association will hold its meeting February 24 to March 1 in Chicago. As this is the first meeting of this organization since the close of the war, it is a very important one. Some of the topics to be discussed are, " War History of Schools," the salary situation; the necessity for better training of teachers; better supervision, and better working conditions. Also, government activities as they affect the schools will be briefly explained. A question box is to be established and some problems have already been suggested for special consideration. Some of them are: Supervision of study; the year-around school; education for community service; > and the weaknesses of the American school system as disclosed by the war. The purpose of this meeting is to make it a clearing house of ideas that can be taken home and used. The following is an excerpt from the N. E. A. Bulletin: A Truer Democracy Through Education. Education is the means through which democracy establishes social justice. In a democracy where majorities both think and rule, education, however fostered and guided by leaders, must be so directed as to meet the needs of all. The fact that we are rapidly approaching the time when the masses of the people will assume larger control of the affairs of government emphasizes anew the responsibility of the public schools in a democracy. The program of education to meet new and increased demands must be comprehensive enough to promote the physical well-being of all citizens, to eliminate illiteracy, to teach the English language as the common means of communication, to fit all individuals for vocational efficiency' and for the wise use of leisure, to cultivate democratic habits of social relationship, to develop in all a high sense of the privileges and responsibilities of citizenship, and to equalize and enrich educational opportunity throughout the nation. When the masses are educated in c.ccordance with this program there will be no danger to democracy from them and less danger from the idle rich and the idle wise. The ideal of democracy is for the masses to work so well and think so clearly that their working together and thinking together will form effective factors in orderly progress. — N. E. A. Bulletin.
